Waddell's signs are a group of physical signs, first described in a 1980 article in Spine, and named for the article's principal author, Gordon Waddell. Waddell's signs may indicate non-organic or psychological component to chronic low back pain. Historically they have also been used to detect malingering in patients with back pain. While testing takes less than one minute, it has been described as time-consuming and alternatives have been proposed.
Waddell, et al. (1980) described five categories of signs:
Any individual sign marks its category as positive. When three or more categories were positive, the finding was considered clinically significant. However, assessing the patient on the basis of overreaction has raised concerns regarding observer bias and idiosyncrasies related to the patient's culture. Consequently, a practitioner may assess the patient on the remaining four categories, with two or more positive categories being considered clinically significant.
One or two Waddell's signs can often be found even when there is not a strong non-organic component to pain. Three or more are positively correlated with high scores for depression, hysteria and hypochondriasis on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.
Although Waddell's signs can detect a non-organic component to pain, they do not exclude an organic cause. Clinically significant Waddell scores are considered indicative only of symptom magnification or pain behavior, and have been misused in medical and medico-legal contexts. Waddell's signs are not considered a de facto indicator of deception for the purpose of financial gain.
In a 2003 review, Fishbain, et al. stated that Waddell's signs do not reliably distinguish organic from psychological pain but instead tend to underestimate the amount of pain that is actually experienced. In a 2004 review, Fishbain, et al. concluded, "there was little evidence for the claims of an association between Waddell signs and secondary gain and malingering. The preponderance of the evidence points to the opposite: no association".
In 2010, a neuroanatomical basis of Waddell's signs has been proposed which argues that since the brain is organic, and even society is composed of a group of organic beings, the term "nonorganic" should be replaced by a term put forward by Chris Spanswick in 1997, "behavioral responses to physical examination." With the possible exception of cogwheel rigidity, these are best understood as neuroanatomical maladaptations to long-continued pain and, as Waddell and colleagues have stressed, do not indicate faking or malingering but rather that there are psychosocial issues that mitigate against successfully treating low back pain by lumbar discectomy, and which in themselves require other treatment. | <urn:uuid:b78efbee-09f6-4596-9377-6664ce975f3b> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://blekko.com/wiki/Waddell's_signs?source=672620ff | 2014-04-23T23:47:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1398223203841.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20140423032003-00188-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.936634 | 595 |

Jessica is a cute blonde and lives in an American city named Metro City. That the crime rate in this town is many times higher than the one of New York and even a small stroll to get some cigarettes is only possible with a well-equipped small army, does normally not need to disturb the young woman. She is well-sheltered and protected, because her father is the mayor, Mike Haggar. This former professional wrestler has made his business to clean up the gangster city and thus took on the crime world of Metro City both politically and concerning the election campaign strategy effectively. An urgently necessary undertaking, after all, the town has been named in several magazines and newspapers as "Criminal City" for some time.
The local underworld now consists to a great part of members of the Mad Gear Gang. This syndicate could stem from a classical end time movie and unfortunately the boys have already some complete districts under their control.
Unfortunately, the Mad Gear Gang has made it to kidnap the beautiful Jessica. Mayor Haggar receives a video message including demand from the kidnapper. The gigantic father prefers negotiating with the fist before words and so he sets out together with Cody Travers, the future son-in-law and his mate Guy, to beat up the evil boys. Coincidentally his two combatants are a Martial Arts expert and a Ninjutsu professional. The trio does not take any weapons with them in trust of their own abilities.
Aim of the game
As Mike, Cody and Guy prefer to slap through the town (literally) instead of simply going by car, the aim is to arrive alive in the Mad Gear Gang headquarters and then severly wrap Mr. Belger's, the upper boss', wrist there. This way, the daughter is freed and the evil gang is busted.
Final Fight is a vertically scrolling beat 'em up in the style of Double Dragon or the console game Streets of Rage. The arcade game was converted for numerous systems, the differences between the systems are partially considerable. In the version for the C64, the two-player mode was done and all characters known from the original appear. The bonus levels were also taken over. This was partially not the case with the other versions. In return, C64 players needed to lower their sights concerning the game graphics, especially concerning the sprites. The background graphics on the other hand make rather successful impression. Small side elements, e.g. the flame traps or the wheelchair of the upper boss were deleted. In the cassette version the intro was completely taken over. The outro is shortened, the "slushy scene" with Cody and Jessica in the park is missing. Unfortunately, the sound effects were reduced to a minimum of undefinable sounds. The sound programmer, Dave Lowe, who has actually a good reputation, clearly delivered one of his worst pieces here. The worst are the game controls, in comparison to the original the second fire button was deleted, which reduced the choice of fighting techniques significantly. Above all the collision query defies description, two meters off are liberally counted as a hit. Collectable weapon sprites are partially shown with a white background, which is a downright dilletantish graphics bug.
Due to technical reasons it is of course on the C64 not possible to display a bigger amount of enemies at the same time. The arcade original has amongst others a special attraction, because in some situations complete troops of enemies are jumping into the screen. Some enemies even entered the fighting scene coming out of the background graphics, came e.g. through doors, sat on the sits of the metro or at the roadside before they interfered. These scenes were hardly or if, then only poorly, converted for the C64.
- : move in the corresponding direction
- : jump and kick
- : use special fighting technique
- : fist blow in viewing direction / pick up weapon / use weapon (1x per picked-up weapon)
- : kick from the air into viewing direction
- Knife: Especially Cody can handle knives and daggers superbly.
- Katana: Quick, sharp and deadly, these swords are always a good choice.
- Iron pipe: Exactly the right thing to reduce aggressive feelings!
- Jessica Haggar shares the fate of many female video game characters of the early 1990s, she was kidnapped by the top villain. But her Mario is named Cody.
- Cody Trevors is Jessica's boyfriend. He is expert in Mixed Martial Arts and a trained knife fighter.
- Mike Haggar, for his part mayor of Metro City and also a former wrestler and accordingly the strongest in the team.
- Guy, Cody's best friend standing with them helpfully. He is a masterly Ninjutsu fighter and the fastest of the three heroes.
The Mad Gear Gang has a great number of members. Some are trained in handling knives or swords, others are especially tough or strong. The biggest part of the gang are some wimps, that have no speciality. It is also important to have cannon fodder. The members of the gang with more or less fighting power are named Bill Bull, Bred, Dug, El Gado, G. Oriber, Holly Wood, J, Jake, Poison and Roxy, Simons, Two P. and Wong Who. Furthermore there are Axl and Slash, who even appear together here.
The gang's boss and his seven followers have significantly more to go for on the battlefield. At the end of each round you need to take on one of them.
- Round 1
Boss: Damnd, a Street-Gang-Boss throwing with knives.
- Round 2
Boss: Sodom, he combines wrestling and sword fighting.
- Bonus round I
Here you need to scrap a car as quickly as possible.
- Round 3
Boss: Edi E., a donut-eating, fat, corrupt cop. He also uses his gun recklessly.
- Round 4
Boss: Rolento, another follower of the super villain Mr. Belger.
- Bonus round II
When crossing a factory, all glass panes should get smashed as quickly as possible.
- Round 5
Boss: Abigail, is one of the last obstacles that needs to be removed.
- Round 6
Top boss: Horace Belger, the head of the Mad Gear Gang, is getting a bit long in the tooth, but he is a skilled shooter with his crossbow.
Tips (content taken from the original manual):
- On the dusty streets stay on the path leading you over a hidden ladder to the underground storage room of the Mad Gear Gang.
- In the storage room defeat all resistance.
- Fight along the platform until the train arrives. Be careful, as during your travel you will be attacked several times.
- The train will stop between two stations. Jump off and fight your way over the rail tracks through the dark tunnel.
- You fight in a ring deep under the earth against the champion while hundreds of excited members of Mad Gears are shouting. For this you need endurance to succeed.
- When you have defeated the champion, you will get bonus points by smashing the parked car at the gas station within a certain time.
- Attack the enemy on the street in front of the restaurant and fight your way through the bar.
- Fight your way down the street until you meet a corrupt policeman. He will shoot at you. Now your special techniques are needed to eliminate the cop.
- You have to fight against "Mad Gears" again while passing a bridge in an industrial area. When reaching the lift at the construction site you need to compete against a troop of ninjas that throw grenades.
- You get bonus points by smashing all the glass windows in a factory within a certain time.
- You get closer to freeing Jessica when fighting along the skyline.
- The last fight starts on the street in front of the hotel. When you are inside, look for the lift that gets you to the roof garden. Here is the realm of the Mad Gear boss and with destroying it you can reach the aim. But beware... it could be false information that the guy needs a wheelchair...
- Some of the cracked versions of the game have common trainer functions as level skip, unlimited energy, lives and suchlike.
- To use Haggar's sepcial techniques, stand in front of the enemy, pull the joystick into the direction of the enemy, then press the fire button quickly repeatedly until Haggar has grabbed him and jumps with him.
- Bonus items, points, medicine etc. can also hide in items as hydrants, dustbins etc. that can be smashed.
Zzap!64 (Presentation 65% Graphics 40% Sound 32% Hookability 35% Lastability 15% Overall 22%): "The entire game is plagued by poor collision detection. Falling characters often fly through seemingly solid objects, and when aiming your jumping kick you can knock down your opponent when appearing to miss him completely!" (unknown author)
Shmendric: "It is really pathetic! Capcom releases first class beat 'em ups and the C64 conversions of them are all first class failures. Again a totally loveless conversion that cannot be compared to a Double Dragon. Playing through it once in the two-player mode can well be accounted for, but to do more of it to yourself is more painful than all blows and hits that Final Fight has to offer. The original of Final Fight was one of my favourite arcade games."
H.T.W: "I do not think that badly about this work. Surely, the background graphics could be finer, the movements of the sprites seem a bit unskillful, the topic of the music takes care of itself, the highscore list is not saved and also there are too little hit variations and special moves available. But you have to partially smirk, because there are also funny scenes, as e.g. the car owner that runs towards his heap of metal while crying, when you have ended the "car smashing bonus round" with "perfect". At least there is also still an intro and an end sequence.
TheRyk: "Laaame! 99% of the game you need one single move to defeat harmless dorks while looking at background gfx that seem pretty nice initially but soon all look pretty much the same. Add poor animation and useless weapons and you've got all a good BeatEm Up does NOT need. Dead boring waste of time, 2 points."
- The bonus level in which you need to smash a car, is almost identical to the one in the game Street Fighter II. But there it fell victim to the cutbacks. The two Capcom games share one universe, both were continued several times. In the later parts, there are cameo appearances of the characters. Final Fight was originally developed under the name Street Fighter '89, but it was renamed as it differed too much from the original.
- There are different rumours and information about the female members of the Mad Gear Gang, Roxy and Poison, concerning the gender. It was often said, that they are two drag queens. The origin of this claim is supposed to lie in a Capcom speaker who was allegedly approached in an interview that it is not admissible to strike at women. Hereupon he is said to having answered sarcastically, that the two are in truth two dressed up men.
Roxy and Poison were swapped against two characters named Sid and Billy in the Super NES versions outside Japan. This is also valid for the identical Wii version.
- Already the arcade machines in the Japanese and the international (English) version differed slightly. Originally, Jessica was shown in the intro in underclothing, for the prudish America she then put on her dress (see M.A.M.E. screenshot below). In the C64 version they oriented themselves on the original.
The original Jessica...
...the C64 version...
... and the censored Jessica.
- Especially the game Turrican II - The Final Fight is well-known
- The Martial Arts movie with the same name by Jet Li from 1986 has no relation to the game.
A longplay by mingo870, hopefully the hospitals have enough free beds...

Amendments proposed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) on Tuesday are designed to play a role in the board’s effort to reduce disclosure overload.
Proposed amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, are the result of one of several short-term projects under the IASB’s broader Disclosure Initiative. The initiative’s purpose is to ensure that financial reports are instruments of communication and not simply compliance documents, according to IASB Chairman Hans Hoogervorst.
“These proposals form a small part of our efforts to encourage preparers, auditors, and regulators away from a ticking-the-box mentality toward disclosures,” Hoogervorst said in a news release. “These proposals are designed to help change behavior, by emphasizing the importance of understandability, comparability, and clarity in presenting financial reports.”
The narrowly focused amendments proposed to IAS 1 are designed to address concerns about existing presentation and disclosure requirements and give preparers the ability to use judgment when they prepare financial statements.
The proposed amendments would:
- Clarify the materiality requirements in IAS 1 in an effort to avoid overwhelming useful information with immaterial information.
- Clarify that specific line items in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, and the statement of financial position can be disaggregated.
- Add requirements for how an entity should present subtotals in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, and the statement of financial position.
- Clarify that entities have flexibility in the order in which notes are presented but should consider understandability and comparability when deciding that order.
- Remove potentially unhelpful guidance in IAS 1 for identifying a significant accounting policy.
Comments are sought by July 23 and can be made at the IFRS website.
Simplifying disclosures has been a focus of standard setters worldwide. In the United States, FASB earlier this month issued a proposed concepts statement that would help the board create a process for identifying relevant information that should be included in notes to financial statements.
In October, Roger Marshall, chairman of the Accounting Council of the UK Financial Reporting Council, issued a call to action, saying financial reporting disclosures need to focus on relevant information and avoid boilerplate language.

They tickle! The delicate bubbles from the champagne you’re sipping burst, sending a pleasant spray of effervescent wine up your nose. It sends you giggling. The air hostess leans over you to put a blanket over your lap and rearrange, for the umpteenth time, the plate of smoked salmon and Beluga caviar canapés that accompany your Dom Perignon.
Well, that’s the private jet charter dream anyway.
Of course, that doesn’t cover all possible scenarios. For instance, flying on a turboprop plane is still flying private, but it is unlikely to come close to that premium private jet experience you’ve been dreaming up in your head.
But it doesn’t matter. Even if sipping a glass of Dom Perignon and nibbling on dry toast topped with smoked salmon and Beluga caviar as you recline on a seat wrapped in expensive, hand-rubbed leather is the stuff of dreams, flying private isn’t.
Flying private is an excellent experience, something that deserves a place on anyone’s travel bucket list. And because of the pandemic, private jet charter has become more than an unwarranted extravagance or luxury. It has also become somewhat of a necessity.
Why Fly Private?
The concern for health and safety has become one of the major reasons people now opt to fly private. Then, of course, convenience and comfort remain two of the chief reasons for chartering a plane.
1. Flying private is safer
In a private jet, you can limit your potential exposure to COVID-19 and other pathogens. First, you can limit the number of people traveling with you. Next, you don’t have to share the same air with strangers – apart from the cabin and flight crew, of course, but that can’t be helped.
You travel with people you know – friends, family, colleagues. You can make sure everyone has been vaccinated, for instance. You can even insist on a negative PCR test before you allow anyone on board.
Chartering a plane also means you can minimize the number of contact points – i.e., potential vectors for infection. For instance, you don’t have to wait in the terminal or at the gate with the rest of the people who have to catch a commercial flight; private charter flights have their terminals. You also don’t have to wait in line for check-in, boarding, deplaning, and baggage claim.
Flying private also means you can avoid busy airports altogether. You can depart from and land at regional airports instead. That reduces the number of contact points even further. Flying private is convenient
2. Flying private is convenient
Private jet charters are more convenient than commercial flights because they let you set your schedule.
You can leave for the airport without rushing. There’s no need to wake up when it’s still dark out and find a taxi to bring you to the airport, so you can check in for a flight that doesn’t leave for at least another three hours.
And when you charter a flight, you can land closer to your destination instead of landing at a major airport and then driving for hours to reach your final destination. It’s nonstop all the way, too, unless, of course, you book a short-range plane for a long-range flight. In that case, the aircraft will need to touch down at least part of the way for refueling.
3. Flying private is comfortable
You can have the plane all to yourself. You can take a nap throughout your flight, and there’ll be no wailing from a baby that will disturb you; that is, unless it’s a baby you willingly let on board, of course.
Nobody will be fully reclining their seat onto your lap, and you can come and go as you please without annoying the passenger on the aisle seat. You also have the toilet to yourself and your party. It’s clean and is likely to remain that way for the rest of your flight.
The Cost of Flying Private
Chartering a private jet does not come cheap, however. There’s no going around the fact that flying private is much more expensive than flying commercial. After all, you are paying for an entire plane rather than just a seat on that plane.
The cost of an aircraft charter is calculated on an hourly basis. Jets can cost from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars per hour. A very light jet with a short flight range can cost around USD 2,300 per hour, while a VIP jet can cost north of USD 20,000 per hour.
The per-hour cost of a chartered flight will depend primarily on the size, capacity, and type of aircraft you’re chartering and the distance you’re flying.
Getting the Most Value out of a Private Jet Charter
While flying on a private jet charter is expensive, there are ways you can maximize the value you can get out of a charter flight.
1. Maximize capacity and range
Choose a plane with the exact capacity you need to pay only for the capacity you can use. And don’t charter a heavy jet when a light jet will do as well.
2. Book one-way flights
If you’re staying for a few days at your destination, you might want to book two one-way flights: one to go to your destination and another for your return home. If you book a round-trip flight, you would have to pay for the charter crew’s per-diem and accommodation because they’ll have to spend a number of nights and days waiting for you.
3. Book empty legs
You can also save money on chartered flights by booking empty private jets on their return flights. The return leg of their journey will cost a private jet the same whether they have passengers or not, so they’d much rather fly with passengers onboard to make a bit of their flight cost back.
Of course, booking an empty leg flight may not be as convenient as a private jet charter you yourself booked because you’d have to follow the private jet’s schedule.
4. Use regional airports
If you can, you should also skip commercial airports in favor of regional airports. Regional airports can cost 90 percent less than commercial airports, so this could help you reduce the cost of your private charter significantly.
Try Flying Private
Flying private is one of the best experiences in the world, as you’ll have the plane all to yourself and the chosen few in your party. That – plus the relative safety it provides in light of the pandemic – can make chartering a private jet worth it.
At the very least, it’s an experience worth trying. If you’re going on a trip to a five-star luxury wellness resort destination, why not go all out and charter a flight for a truly one-of-a-kind, stress-free vacation? | <urn:uuid:abe7d839-9810-4e44-8ef9-f7570fe40863> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.elitetravelblog.com/private-jet-charter-taking-air-travel-up-a-notch/ | 2022-01-26T11:34:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304947.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20220126101419-20220126131419-00266.warc.gz | en | 0.941384 | 1,463 |

When you start to think about the oldest books that a library might hold, there are any number of rabbit holes you can fall down. What’s the oldest book in any particular city? What’s the oldest book in the world? Well, what do you mean by “book”? The oldest written text? The oldest manuscript? The oldest printed material? The oldest bound book?
Librarians take these kinds of questions very seriously, so when Atlas Obscura contacted some of our favorite libraries to ask about the oldest books in their collections, we were treated to a wealth of information about the treasures they hold.
The New York Public Library, for instance, has not only cuneiform tablets and ninth-century gospels, but also a Gutenberg Bible and a copy of The Bay Psalm Book, one of the oldest books printed in America. In addition to its own cuneiform tablets and Gutenberg Bible, the Library of Congress holds one of the oldest examples of printing in the world, passages from a Buddhist sutra, printed in A.D. 770, as well as a medieval manuscript from 1150, delightfully titled Exposicio Mistica Super Exod.
In the history of writing, bound books as we know them today arrive fairly late, so there are no actual “books” on this list. Instead, this is a wondrous collection of illuminated manuscripts, papyrus scrolls, and clay tablets. Some of these items you can even see in person, if you pay a visit.
Apicius, De re culinaria
Created: A.D. 830, Germany
Synopsis: The earliest surviving cookbook in the West, this Latin manuscript contains recipes that date all the way back to the fourth century B.C. These were recipes meant for average Roman households, although they included non-native spices that would have had to travel far to reach the Mediterranean. Some of the highlights, according to the library, are “roast lamb with coriander, deep-fried honey fritters, and cucumber with mint dressing.”
Provenance: The manuscript was originally created in a German monastery in the ninth century. It was later held in Rome and then Paris, where it was sold in 1824 to noted bibliomaniac Sir Thomas Phillipps. From Phillipps, it went to Margaret Barclay Wilson, a teacher and librarian, who donated her extensive collection of cookbooks and medicinal recipe books to the New York Academy of Medicine in 1929.
Constantinus Africanus, Viaticum
Created: No later than 1244, Italy
Synopsis: In the 10th century A.D., Ibn al-Jazzar, an Muslim physician, wrote a book titled Provisions for the Traveler and the Nourishment of the Settled, a compendium of the medical knowledge of the day, which focused on the interaction of humours and elements in the human body. A few decades later, Constantinus traveled from North Africa to a monastery in southern Italy, where he adapted and translated Ibn al-Jazzar’s work into Latin.
Provenance: A reader in 1429 made notes in the margins. By the 16th or 17th century the book had a new and still unidentified owner, who added chapter titles. It later passed through the hands of booksellers in Lugano, Switzerland, to the College of Physicians library.
Created: Before A.D. 79, Herculaneum, Italy
Synopsis: When Mt. Vesuvius erupted in the first century A.D., it covered the town of Herculaneum in ash, gas, and other volcanic material that preserved organic matter for hundreds of years. These carbonized papyrus scrolls came from the town’s library. Archaeologists have struggled to find a way to read the damaged scrolls, so there’s little known about their contents—though progress is being made with advanced imaging techniques.
Provenance: These scrolls were discovered in Herculaneum in 1750s. In 1810, George, Prince of Wales, received 18 of them and presented four to the library in Oxford as a gift.
Created: A.D. 330–60, possibly Rome, Italy
Synopsis: A handwritten version of a Greek Bible, the codex is one of the oldest copies known today, and the oldest surviving version of the complete New Testament.
Provenance: The codex was kept in St. Catherine’s Monastery in Egypt before the wider scholarly world came to know about it in 1844, when a scholar removed 43 folios from the monastery library. Parts of the codex are now kept at four different libraries, but St. Catherine’s still holds a small fraction of the work—12 pages and 24 fragments.
Chicago Botanic Garden
Theophrastus, Historia Plantarum
Created: 1483, Treviso, Italy
Synopsis: Back in the third century B.C., Theophrastus, one of the first botanists of the Western world, set out to catalogue the the plants of ancient Greece and created the first known classifications of plants in his part of the world. He covered a range of trees, shurbs, dwarf shrubs, and herbs and examined how they grew and were used in his own time.
Provenance: This Latin translation of the original text was printed in northeast Italy in the 15th century, making it an incunable, or a printed book that predates 1501. In 1664, the then-owner added a title page and doodles that Leora Siegel, the library’s senior director, describes as “a woman’s anatomy, but poorly done.” In the early 20th century, it was owned by an orchid specialist who donated it to the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. The Botanic Garden purchased the society’s rare book collection in 2002.
American Museum of Natural History
Albertus Magnus, De animalibus
Created: 1495, Venice, Italy
Synopsis: Albertus Magnus spent his life studying and commenting on the works of Aristotle. Without his work, much less knowledge of the Greek philosopher would have made it to future generations of scholars. Albertus, who died in 1280 and was later canonized, wrote widely about the scientific and natural worlds. This volume collects his work on the animal kingdom.
Provenance: By the 19th century, the book had entered the holdings of the collection now named the Berlin State Library. The natural history museum in New York bought the book in 1923 from Paul Gottschalk, a German book dealer.
Library of Congress
Cuneiform Accounting Tablets
Created: 2050 B.C., Sumeria
Synopsis: The Library of Congress’ oldest written material dates far back, beyond the founding of this nation, to more than 4,000 years ago. The collection of cuneiform tablets dates back to the reign of Gudea of Lagash, in the 2100s B.C. The tablets recorded bills of sale, receipts, ledgers, and other accounting tasks.
Provenance: In 1929, Kirkor Minassian, a dealer of Islamic and Near Eastern art, visited the library and was inspired to send a suite of gifts, which included these tablets.
Folger Shakespeare Library
Created: Compiled 1325, England
Synopsis: The Magna Carta was the first English statute, but it wasn’t given that name until after 1217, when it started being issued along with the Charter of Forests. To distinguish the original statutes from the forestry code, they were given the name the Great Charter, or the Magna Carta. This copy is in Anglo-Norman, translated from Latin.
Provenance: A note in one leaf indicates that the book was given as a gift in 1821. Henry Clay Folger acquired it from an “E. Williams of Hove” in 1922.
Egyptian Artifact Album
Created: circa 1500 B.C., Thebes, Egypt
Synopsis: This book isn’t exactly the oldest book in the Athenaeum’s collection. It was bound in the 1910s and is “more an album of archaeological artifacts than a rare book in the traditional sense,” the library writes. It contains three shrine hangings describing the worship of the goddess Hathor, and a series of inscribed mummy bandages, which are some of the oldest examples of painting on cloth.
Provenance: The artifacts were discovered in 1905 by archaeologist Robert de Rustafjaell, and a bindery in London collected them into a book sometime between 1913 and 1916. The library bought the album that year in Boston, from Goodspeed’s Book Shop.
Book of the Dead
Created: 15 century B.C., Egypt
Synopsis: Sesostris was a cattle counter and writer in ancient Egypt, and he was well-off enough to own his own copy of the Book of the Dead. In contrast with its name, the book is actually a papyrus scroll, 20-foot long, that contains magical spells to help the recently deceased make their way to the afterlife.
Provenance: The Court Library, the predecessor to the National Library, acquired the papyrus collection of Archduke Rainer in 1899.
Created: Circa ninth century, Brittany, France
Synopsis: Like the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library’s oldest written material is a collection of cuneiform tablets. Its oldest manuscript, however, is a ninth-century copy of the Gospels, made in a French monastery, but showing Celtic influence in its imagery.
Provenance: The manuscript once belonged to the Marquis of Blandford, fifth Duke of Marlborough. It was later owned by Sir Thomas Phillipps (who also owned the New York Academy of Medicine’s copy of Apicius’s De re culinaria), who passed it to his grandson, FitzRoy Fenwick. A.S.W. Rosenbach bought it in 1926, and its last private owner was one Edward S. Harkness, who donated it to the library as part of a larger gift.
Aldhelm, De Virginitate
Created: Circa 899, England
Synopsis: The oldest written items at the Free Library of Philadelphia are a set of cuneiform tablets—a common theme—but its oldest manuscript is a prose version of De Virginitate, About Virginity. Aldhelm, the Abbot of Malmesbury and Bishop of Sherborne, had written this treatise about early virgin martyrs, the value of purity, and its relationship to Christian virtue. This later Latin edition was written in an Anglo-Saxon script.
Provenance: R. Contan gave this book to a new owner in March, 1855. J.F. Lewis acquired it in 1914, before it went to the library.
Correction: The original version of this article showed an image of the Codex Sinaiticus Syriacus, also held by St. Catherine’s Monastery, rather than the Codex Sinaiticus in Greek. The image has been updated. | <urn:uuid:25d45c4c-e9c9-4636-84ea-70cc821546ff> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/oldest-library-books-manuscripts-cuneiform-tablets | 2019-06-17T21:30:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998580.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617203228-20190617225228-00180.warc.gz | en | 0.95732 | 2,326 |
This week Moms Demand Action brought boxes of signatures garnered from across Maine to the Secretary of State’s office in an effort to qualify their initiative for the November ballot.
Filed with the office last August, the effort would add a voter referendum to the upcoming that would mandate Brady checks on most gun transfers. The Maine secretary of state gave the go ahead for the group to start collecting signatures in October.
The Maine initiative must gather 61,123 valid signatures by Jan. 22 to qualify, and MDA feels they have far surpassed that goal, dropping off 85,436 signatures collected from every county and city in the state.
“Over the past three months, more than 200 volunteers have poured their hearts into this effort, and I could not be more proud,” said Jackie Sartoris, with the group’s Maine chapter. “But our work has only just begun. Now that we have submitted these thousands of signatures to the Secretary of State’s office, we begin in earnest our campaign to strengthen our gun laws and save lives. Over the next nine months, volunteers from every corner of Maine will work tirelessly to pass this referendum.”
However, the volunteers alluded to by Sartois may have been ringers.
According to paperwork filed with election officials, Fieldworks, a professional canvassing organization based in Washington D.C., hired some 200 individuals for the purpose of circulating petitions for signatures. The company specializes in Democratic party campaigns and includes Hillary Clinton for President and the AFL-CIO on its list of clients.
Since late October, when the petition process was green-lighted to proceed, Fieldworks has been seeking employees in Maine to help “improve public safety” promising up to $625 a week for their efforts. This alludes to an expenditure of as much as $1.1 million from the Bloomberg group to produce the mountain of petitions delivered this week.

If the four-page proposed amendment to state law is approved in its current form, most gun transfers from one private citizen to another would first have to pass a background check administered by a federal firearms license holder.
Exceptions would be for guns going from one family member to another, some temporary loans such as for hunting or target shooting, or guns issued for use by the military, police, corrections and security guards.
The language is very similar to the proposed ballot measure in Nevada backed by the group and follows in the wake of a successful push in Washington in which the Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, allied to MDA, chipped in $4 million to help win voters in that state in 2014. Fieldworks lists the Washington Ballot Initiative Network as a past client.
Citing a phone survey of 400 likely voters in Maine paid for last August by the Bloomberg-funded group, MDA contends 80 percent of Mainers support background checks for all gun sales.
National gun rights groups as well as Gun Owners of Maine and the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine oppose the ballot measure.
Update 2/19/2015: The Portland Press Herald verified in a January 24 article that Maine Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense received $750,000 from Everytown for Gun Safety and paid FieldWorks LLC more than $570,000 between Sept. 1 and Dec. 31, 2015, citing MDA used both volunteer and paid signature gatherers in their effort. | <urn:uuid:a32b64eb-9897-4ef8-8e7b-a72a09318dac> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://www.guns.com/2016/01/21/bloomberg-group-delivers-signatures-for-maine-background-check-referendum/ | 2017-09-23T09:20:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818689615.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20170923085617-20170923105617-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.956964 | 750 |

Oh my gosh....This moisturizer is really something. It is so creamy and rich. I've been complaining about my sad dry skin lately, but after using this, I feel like my skin is back to normal.

After thousands of rough drafts and revisions, you’re finally ready to publish your book. Great! If you haven’t published a book yet, however, you may be confused with all these options for publication looming over your head.
There are two major forms of publishing that you have to consider. There are many smaller, more specific categories, but the two major divisions are traditional publishing and self-publishing. One may not necessarily be “better” than the other, but each form certainly has its own set of pros and cons to consider.
Take a look at the benefits and drawbacks of each option and figure out what works best for both your book and your budget!
This form of publishing is the one most widely heard about in media. You submit your book to an agent who sends it off to a large, well-established, publishing house and hopefully they’ll love your writing. When you hear tales of authors being rejected from multiple publishers time after time, they’re probably talking about traditional publishing houses.
If you’ve done any research into the publication process, you’ve probably heard of some of the biggest names in publishing. Penguin Random House, Scholastic, and HarperCollins are all well-known publication giants, just to name a few. With traditional publishing, your book reaches editors at these companies who decide whether or not your book can sell. If they think it’ll make big bucks at the book stores, they’ll offer you a deal. If not, they’ll likely reject you.
With so much rejection, why do people work with traditional publishers in the first place? It’s all about the money. When your piece is accepted by a traditional publisher, they’ll offer you a book deal. They bear the cost of marketing, editing, binding, shipping, etc. and in turn get a percentage of your profits. They’ll often offer you a set percentage of royalties in exchange for the rights to your book, and will likely offer an advance on those royalties.
With that in mind, here are the biggest pros and cons of working with a traditional publisher.
Pro #1: As stated previously, the upfront cost is handled mostly by them. This makes your out-of-pocket costs much smaller. The publisher takes the financial risk of producing your book in exchange for profits off of it.
Pro #2: Your book gets handled by top-notch editors, marketing professionals, and cover artists. Established publishing houses will have a set of professionals that produce your book, meaning you don’t have to pay out-of-pocket to have your book prepped for sales.
Pro #3: The advance. If a publisher decides to accept your book, they’ll offer you a book deal, which usually includes a royalty percentage and an advance on those royalties. The advance may be upwards of thousands of dollars, which is a nice chunk of money to have, especially if you’re concerned about your book selling.
Con #1: The publisher can request edits. Because the publisher is bearing the majority of the risk, they can request changes to your book before offering you a deal. They need a book that is going to sell, and if they think something about your book won’t make it marketable, they will request you make adjustments before handing over a book deal.
This can be frustrating for authors who have grown attached to their story and characters, especially if the publisher is requesting a major change. You can deny making changes, but they, in turn, can refuse to offer you a book deal.
Con #2: Getting accepted can take years, seeing your book in print can take even longer. You can think the world of your book, but publishers may not see it the same way. You can submit your book to numerous publishers, make countless edits, and hire a variety of editors and agents and still never get a book deal. That sort of rejection can be frustrating and difficult to deal with.
Even after you get accepted, it can be a while before your book hits the shelves. Your book will need certain edits made, copies will need to be produced, and the publisher will need to position the launch of your book against the other books it is handling. If you decide to go with a traditional publisher, expect to wait a while before you see your title in bookstores.
Con #3: Royalty rates may not be what you’d like. When you work with a traditional publisher, you by no means will get 100 percent of profits. As part of your book deal, the publisher will offer you a royalty rate, often times somewhere around 10 percent, which can be even lower if you’re a new author.
If you’re hoping to make more off of your book, this can feel like a roadblock, and you may think you could make more by using other publishing avenues.
Self-publishing is becoming an increasingly more attractive option as technology has developed through the years. There are now many different kinds of self-publishing services out there ranging from book manufacturers who simply print whatever you send them for the cost, to custom publishing firms who operate similarly to a traditional publisher. The biggest difference between the two is that with self-publishing, you’re financing your books production, and not the other way around.
Unlike traditional publishing, self-publishing doesn’t require waiting around for a publishing house to accept you, but you bear much more of the responsibility. That being said, there are still many pros to this option.
Pro #1: You have creative control and you aren’t forced to make revisions. Unlike working with a publisher, you make all the decisions about the content of your book. The cover art, formatting, everything is up to you. Nobody is requesting you cut down your chapters, delete a character, or change your message. You decide exactly what you want your readers to see. If you are extremely attached to your content and would hate to see any of it altered, this may be a very attractive option for you.
Pro #2: You make more from book sales. There may not be a ten thousand dollar advance, but if your book takes off and becomes incredibly popular, you don’t have to fork over the majority of your profits to a publishing house. You’ll walk away with a higher percentage of sales. If your book becomes a best seller, you’ll reap the benefits, not a big name publishing house.
Pro #3: Quicker turnaround. Because you’re making the publishing decisions, there isn’t any waiting around for your book to be accepted and there isn’t waiting years to see your book in print. When you think your book is ready for publication, it is time for you to publish! This issue can be especially important to non-fiction writers with books focused on current events, who want their books to be released while their subject matter is fresh in their audience’s mind.
Whether you choose to publish your book as an eBook or in-print book, your book can be on the shelves much quicker.
Con #1: The upfront cost is substantially larger. Unfortunately, because you’re making the decisions, you’re also paying the bills. The cost of hiring an editor, a book manufacturer, a cover artist, and a marketing specialist can add up quickly, and those costs are all on you. With a traditional publisher, these costs are taken care of by the publishing house. When self-publishing, you’ll have to hire all these professionals individually. If you don’t have money to invest, this can be nearly impossible.
Con #2: Marketing becomes more difficult. When working with a publishing house, they do all the marketing. When you self-publish, that marketing is all on you. You can pay a self-publishing firm to market your book, but that will continue to add to your upfront costs. As listed before, you can also hire a marketing expert. If you don’t have the money to do so, the task of promoting will fall on your shoulders.
However, if you have already established a following through a blog, a business, or previously published book, you may have people lined up waiting for your next piece. If you are a new author, however, you probably don’t have an existing audience, and could stand to lose more money than you make.
Which is Right for You?
There isn’t really a right answer to this question. The decision about whether to self-publish or work with a traditional publishing house is ultimately based on what you’re looking for.
If you’re a new author trying to find a home for your first book, a traditional publisher may be your best bet, especially if you lack experience in the industry. You won’t have to worry about finding and hiring individual professionals and won’t have to figure out marketing on your own. This is especially attractive if you don’t have stacks of cash waiting to be spent on all the services that go into the production of a book.
However, if you are somebody with an existing following, self-publishing might be a better option. You have an audience lined up, and you’ve likely got a career bustling in the background. When your book comes out, it will be easier to find consumers ready to snatch up your writings and spread the word.
As you go forth with the publication of your book, weigh the pros and cons of each option and see what works best for your timeline and budget. In the end, the choice is yours! | <urn:uuid:567d6441-79ac-48cf-a200-1655c70881aa> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://tooleybook.com/blog/whats-best-for-your-book-traditional-publishing-vs-self-publishing/ | 2019-11-12T22:08:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496665767.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20191112202920-20191112230920-00010.warc.gz | en | 0.960574 | 2,014 |
Wise 50 Over 50 Award™
Kambiz Taheri – Polymer Research Technologies
Having been involved in the polymer industry for more that 25 years, I had witnessed the huge problem of landfilling and the vast destructive impact it had on our environment in numerous sectors of the industry. When I moved to Canada in 2007, I decided that Canada could offer the perfect platform for R&D work in the field of resource optimization and established Polymer Research to attempt to solve this landfilling issues, as one of industries major pain points.
I started Polymer Research Technologies Ltd. (“PRT”) at the age of 50. It’s a privately held Canadian Research company, established in 2007, with a proprietary technology of chemical conversion of polyurethane waste foams, that are presently being land filled all across the globe, into a reusable, valuable chemical commodity, trademarked Recyclopol™, thus offering a sustainable, environmentally acceptable, and low cost substitute raw material as a solution to a $80B polyurethane industry waste management problem.
PRT is the recipient of several prestigious awards (BCIC New Ventures Clean Technology Award, CME award and the USTCI Canadian Excellence award). PRT is one of the very select few companies in Canada to have successfully been approved for $1.2M funding from Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) for PRT’s pilot plant pre commercialization phase.
PRT, in collaboration with major polyurethane companies, such as Woodbridge Group, Johnson Control, Recticel, Ford motors corp, Kingspan Group and Noram Engineering, is in the process of establishing a 1.MT pilot plant in Burnaby.
PRT’s Recyclopol™ production commercialization path will generate 25 jobs and be through licensing, Joint ventures with industry partners, and own and operate production plant scenarios, will contribute to the growth of our community.
My objective has been, and is, to contribute to the sustainability of our environment and offer my expertise and time to develop new innovative, and economical technologies to solve this global issue. | <urn:uuid:50e5d204-0a34-4690-a80e-e204862c8ed9> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | http://www.50over50awards.ca/project/kambiz-taheri-polymer-research-technologies/ | 2019-04-18T22:24:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578526904.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190418221425-20190419003425-00542.warc.gz | en | 0.928882 | 439 |

At its annual E3 press conference in Los Angeles, Microsoft demonstrated the simplified UI, which can be navigated almost entirely through voice commands that will allow for searching through games and accessing online content.
Search on Xbox Live is now powered by Bing. Rather than typing in queries through the controller, Microsoft has opted for voice search. Bing Voice Search lets users flip through movie and game libraries. It doesn't yet include full web search.
Microsoft also announced that it has finally integrated YouTube into Xbox Live, making it possible to view videos from the world's largest video website. Microsoft already has Hulu Plus and Netflix on Xbox Live.
The biggest announcement though is the inclusion of live TV on Xbox Live. Thanks to Microsoft partners such as SKY in the UK, Xbox Live now live streams video content. One of Microsoft's first partners is Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), which was announced on stage by UFC President Dana White.
The new Xbox Live is scheduled to debut sometime in late summer or early fall. Stay tuned to Mashable for photos and videos from Microsoft's press conference and E3. | <urn:uuid:7962c567-f57b-4de9-9623-9c67c90fa576> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://mashable.com/2011/06/06/youtube-bing-tv-xbox-live/ | 2019-02-21T20:35:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247508363.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20190221193026-20190221215026-00601.warc.gz | en | 0.951036 | 220 |
About the Author
Award-winning author of Christian, historical fiction Susan Preston brings to her writing a great deal of life experience, emotional wisdom and diverse skills. A registered nursing sister with experience in psychotherapy, a mother, a registered trainer and assessor, and graduate of a Bible college in Perth, Australia.
She describes herself as a storyteller, not a preacher, so you will not find a ‘call to conversion’ in any of her books.
A Christian, Preston takes her faith seriously and treats her research as a combination of treasure hunt and mystery tour. Her work has been described as masterfully blending elements from scripture into a compelling story. Her response to the comment was that the characters are real to her.
Fun fact: Originally from Scotland, she believes she could, with a little practice, correctly pronounce the ‘ch’ sound in the Hebrew names. | <urn:uuid:20559908-fa4d-4fee-b27d-14d6668afd01> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://www.susanprestonauthor.com/brief-about-the-author/ | 2020-04-08T18:51:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585371821680.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20200408170717-20200408201217-00336.warc.gz | en | 0.953098 | 183 |

A Game Of Thrones Guide is the official guide of Game of Thrones, and has been developed by Random House, the publisher of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series, with help from the author. In other words, it's the best source of info out there on the world created by George R.R. Martin.
You can browse around the map and discover all the places mentioned in the books, get to know the main characters (and some lesser known ones) and a great deal more about the Seven Kingdoms, The Free Cities and the lands beyond the Wall. Don't forget that the information found here is based on the books, so some stuff might not fit in completely with the TV series. The app updates itself frequently.
It's the official guide of Game of Thrones and boasts Random House books as its publisher and even has George R.R. Martin himself involved. The quality of illustrations, the variety of maps and amount of information are its main strengths.
The app is still not finished. It has some sections that still don't contain any info.

Wagner Meters Rapid RH® Kit Survives Devastating Fire in Michigan
Rogue River, OR (April 2013) – An early morning fire in July of 2012 left building and flooring inspector Carl Howard looking at a scene of total devastation where his business, ServiceMaster Absolute Home and Restoration Services in Mason, Michigan, used to stand.
As Howard searched through the cold rubble- where even the steel beams had collapsed from the intense heat- it seemed that the contents were a total loss. And then he came across his Rapid RH® Starter Kit case. The case was blackened from the smoke of the fire, but when he opened it, the contents of the case were all intact!
“I use the Wagner RH probes…as a flooring inspector,” says Howard, who also owns Central Michigan Inspection Services. The Rapid RH® Starter Kit comes in a sturdy case to withstand the rigors of job site conditions and is apparently capable of surviving much tougher conditions too. “We don’t recommend lighting the case on fire,” laughs Jason Spangler, Sales Manager-Flooring Division. “But we’re certainly glad to see that it has exceeded even our expectations for rugged construction.”
Howard shared his story when he called to upgrade to the Rapid RH® 4.0 EX as part of moving forward with his business, which included an April 2013 ground-breaking ceremony for the new building. “We wish Carl every success as he rebuilds his business,” says Spangler. “He’s definitely a great example of why we think our customers are the best. And we’re sure his new building will stand strong on its Rapid RH® – tested foundation.”
To learn more about the accurate and reliable (and sturdily built) Rapid RH®, visit us at www.wagnermeters.com or call 1-800-634-9961 to locate your nearest distributor.
Jason has 20+ years’ experience in sales and sales management in a spectrum of industries and has successfully launched a variety of products to the market, including the original Rapid RH® concrete moisture tests. He currently works with Wagner Meters as our Rapid RH® product sales manager. | <urn:uuid:1fd3b984-6dbd-4029-ae59-428c5052c30d> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://www.wagnermeters.com/concrete-moisture-test/rapid-rh-kit-survives-fire/ | 2019-02-16T21:35:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247481122.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20190216210606-20190216232606-00319.warc.gz | en | 0.964971 | 464 |
Stories come in many shapes and sizes. To tell your story, in whatever form it takes, you must create what writers call a "compelling narrative". This means that your story must appeal to readers, it must follow the conventions for that type of story, and it should engage readers and keep them reading until the end.
This means that whether you're writing short fiction, personal life stories, or novels, we at Writer.Support can help you discover the strong narrative thread in your story - the central core of your writing, which will draw the reader in and keep them reading until the end.
If you have a great idea for a story, or you want to tell your life story without the time to write it yourself, we can ghost write it for you. We have experience in many types of writing, and we will make sure your story has the best chances of being successful. | <urn:uuid:f5bfdb81-965a-46f6-97eb-849799137f82> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | http://writer.support/what-will-you-write/ | 2019-04-22T09:59:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578551739.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20190422095521-20190422121521-00170.warc.gz | en | 0.966093 | 181 |
Fulton County Historical Society Plans Tours For 2013
Based on the success of last year’s bus tours, the Fulton County Historical Society (FCHS) is scheduling two bus tours in 2013. As in 2012, the first tour will take place in Franklin County and is scheduled for Friday June 7.
The Franklin County tour includes a visit to Long Acres Alpaca Farm near Mercersburg, where Michael and Sarah Donahoe are breeding best quality alpacas. Alpacas are sure to put a smile on your face. The next stop is the Robert Kennedy Presbyterian Church in Welsh Run, where, in 1934, Sophie Fleming, daughter of the Rev. Dr. Joseph Fleming, a former pastor, had the Tiffany stained-glass window installed in the chancel. The church is now only used for special services and weddings.
A visit to Conococheague Institute, located on historic Rock Hill farm, first settled in 1736, near the village of Welsh Run, follows. This stop also includes a tour of the Davis-Chambers house built in 1752 that still shows many of the original features. Other buildings on the grounds have been preserved or reconstructed.
Following lunch at the Allison Antrim barn museum, the tour will take a look at the 1860s Greek revival house museum that has changing exhibits and then moves on to visit a five-mile crown marker on the Mason-Dixon Line. The Mason-Dixon Line was surveyed to settle the boundary between Maryland and Pennsylvania. A crown marker displays the Penn crown on the north side and the Calvert crown on the south side. These markers are located every five miles on the line, with smaller stones located every mile. There is one located near Hancock in Fulton County, but it is extremely hard to visit.
The tour’s last stop will be Enoch Brown Park. Enoch Brown was a schoolmaster in the mid-1700s. On July 26, 1764, he and 10 students were massacred and scalped by Indians during the Pontiac War. All died but one.
All of these stops will include information from markers or step-on guides. The cost is $70 ($65.00 for FCHS members) and includes the Bollman bus, lunch and all fees and gratuities.
A second tour is again planned for the Fulton Fall Festival on Friday, October 18, and will take place in northern Fulton County and into Huntingdon County. This trip is in the planning stages and will be described in detail at a later date.

THE FRENCH MOBILE LANDSCAPE
LenouvelEconomist run two months ago as a headline, that we moved on to the « Mobile moment ». In fact, Google announced last September that mobile queries had exceeded those made via desktop over the summer 2017 in France.
French actors are clearly lagging behind in terms of brands leveraging mobile to increase conversion but the wind is shifting rapidly and they are on their way to catch up. The main updates and fields of improvement are around increasing the page load times, investing in accelerated Mobile Pages provided by Google, adopting mobile first contents, etc.
On this matter, according to Thomas Husson, analyst at Forrester, this revolution is not only about « a change in mobile usage » but more widely, it is an « evolution of consumers’ states of mind » who want to receive services in real time to satisfy their demands whenever they feel the need for it. In terms of improving customer experience and enabling brand loyalty, he adds that brands should properly perform upstream measures to evaluate the full value of mobile driving in-store traffic, as 85% to 90% of the transactions are still made offline. That is why collecting contextual data link to consumers is key in order to anticipate their needs.
Another key milestone coming this year is the launch of Google’s mobile first index which will impact your overall mobile marketing strategy.Will it become your new SEO Bible? In any case, it will change the whole search result experience giving full credit to the mobile version of your site to rank it on Google. You will need more than ever to understand your users’ behaviour and preferences in order to engage them truly with mobile optimized content and optimized website to increase your mobile conversion rate.
MOBILE USAGE AND SMS CAMPAIGNS
According to the 2018 Baromobile study released by OMD (Omnicom Media Group) together with the expert in drive-to-store S4M, the level of consciousness around « Data connexion » has arised and consumers are using more and more mobile :
Furthermore, according to the 2016 Study made by the Mobile Marketing Association together with L’ARCEP, « 80% of the mobile users receiving a commercial SMS declare themself interested by its content», whereas « 20% among them have already clicked on a promotional link ». So we can ask ourself :
- Which sms strategies brands are leveraging off to push their in-store conversion ?
For locale acquisition campaign, SMS geofencing is a circumvented tool. Since 2015 in France the commercialization of SMS in client acquisition is rising as retailers and brands want to grow their SMS database and increase conversion. According to a 2016 study, a tremendous open rate reaching 95% (of which 90% within 4 minutes – study from MMA – Arcep) with a memorization rate of 60% (INSEE 2016).
- What simple content to push ?
Flash sales notifications, discounts with flash codes,link redirecting toward a landing page, videos. You can as well personalize your sms by creating custom SENDER Id (or OADC) but remember 160 characters maximum and the STOP mention included to be privacy-friendly.
- How to use geofencing in your SMS geotargeting techniques ?
Retailers are using geolocation as a real life « cookie » to drive traffic in store thanks to GPS, beacons or wifi technologies. One of the condition using geofencing properly before sending any commercial offer is that you must first get the permission from a mobile phone number to text message them. It can be done through an SMS keyword sent to an SMS code : « shoes » to 3638 or an optin obtained through a previous campaign. Once customers give their permission to share their location, you will be able to set your campaign and choose for instance a radius of 20km (the maximum distance) around the postal address of potential clients or a radius of 1km around your retail store to reach them.
- What’s the main advantage of SMS geotargeting ?
It provide you with a high precision target based on past and real time results and, thanks to optimization algorythms, you will be able in the future to consistently improve your targeting audience predicting their needs, their purchase intents while analysing POS traffic and factors influencing them.
Some french specialist in geo profiling and geolocation for retailers like Ubudu in the tourism industry, can help you building your proximity marketing strategy by providing you with high-precision geolocation features (up to 10cm !). You will be able to send push notification according to their location, send them personalized welcome message, enable customers to avoid lining in store and enable them finding products and services as fast as possible to provide them unprecedent experiences !
- Toward an omichannel strategy ?
Click and Mortar and pure players businesses are leveraging consistently the mobile experience to fuel their omnichannel strategy by multiplying acquisition campaigns and activations. Sephora is a good example of a makeup store retailer using sms within its 360° « Wonder » Christmas campaign and whom has been recently rewarded for it (read the dedicated article here).
DRIVE TO STORE STRATEGIES & BUSINESS CASES
Mobile is key when we think of cross-canal and ROPOiste strategies because acccording to the 2016 study of L’Observatoire du ROPO², on average out of 100 visits in a retailer store (during a period of 3 months), 46% of visitors are cross canal (visiting the website and the store) and conversion rate made via mobile in France is reaching 56 %. That is why, brands should perform various drive to store activations such as Drive to store RTB, Facebook Offers or SMS.
Lets focus on mobile display advertising wich offer huge potential in terms of activating local customer :
→ You can stimulate real time visits in store by targeting precisely your customer catchment area. Plateforms such as Adsquare, which is a mobile first data exchange, allow you to broadcast custom offers based on contextual information (open hours, weather, events and dedicated locations), within where you can adjust the radius of your reach and add advertisings redirecting to Google Map.
→ One insightful business case is the partnership made between the french adtech startup Databerries (now Teemo) and Intersport around its « Real life targeting » solution. It includes a SDK (a set of programming tools for your app), integrating easily geolocation data from 40 app publishers (including Marmiton, L’équipe). For Intersport, a « visit » is equal to a 15 minute visit in store. Thanks to Databerries, Intersport confirms that for one euro invested, it take back 4 to 6 euros margin (study available here)
In terms of your overall customer journey, what could be the next steps once you have attracted potential customers in-store ? Leveraging in real-time your data collected is essential :
2/ During the visits :
- In-store wifi : accessing the free In-Store wifi access to identify your visitors and activate marketing trigger (push notifications, trigger content on wi-fi connection landing page) to collect data and new optins
- Geofencing local notification
3/ Post-visits : Behavioral retargeting
By collecting of individual data visits and sending :
- SMS / Email offering complementary/lookalike products
- SMS/Email to encourage revisiting the store with a welcome back message
DRIVE TO STORE STRATEGIES & BUSINESS CASES
Transforming your store into a « Data Generator » and enhancing your database plateform in order to serve your drive to store and omnichannel strategy is the way to procede in order to boost your sales. Retailers are in this way tending to adopt the « Cookie less » targeting model thanks to the unique identifiers.
→ A great variety of first party location data is now at your disposal like the Mobile ID (MAC Address), Mobile Number and optin thanks to the synchronisation between a device having a unique identifier and emitters like wifi sensors, IoT signals, GPS, beacons. You will be therefore able to cross historical location data, detailed behavioral pattern, as well as intentionist data within the same place. Adtech technologies are rightly improving their capacities offering now Location-smart SDKs. On the media buying plateform side (DSP, DMP, trading desks), french actors are doing more and more partnerships to access millions of unique ID, combine it with online identifiers and geolocation data. For instance Vectaury is coupling its DSP with its SDK to propose ultra qualified segmented audience and thanks to different partnerships with Mondadori, Madvertise, they have access to more than 10 millions located user data that they propose to publishers to maximise their conversion.
« Mobility data » as it is called, has become therefore a new source of information and is used as a proxy for second and third party engagement data (read the article here).
For instance, Fidzup can provide you a clear measurement of your Drive-to-store ROI by performing behavioral targeting in and out of the store (buying intention, catchment area, competitors customers) and is able to collecte granular data coming from Store, section, fitting rooms, floor, cash registers. (To know more about Fidzup : here).
However, in order to ensure clean and high qualitative data origin, your mobile advertisers must cross-referencing location data through different sources. Examples would be using GPS, phone operators, beacons or specific algorythms and detect any possible ad fraud in order to collect compliant and qualitative actionable data. On the compliance part, the french mobile actor Vectaury is offering a new optin since the beginning of 2018 : a « Geo-transparent optin »banner to simplify the consent collection of mobile users and perform anonymized profiling (read article here).
As a matter of fact, the overall marketing need to collect contextual data is becoming widespread and confirmed by the last trends in the Adtech market. Since the beginning of the year 2018, the first Adtech sector attracting investments in France is the Drive- to- store sector. French actors like Teemo (Ex Databerries), Mozoo, Vectaury or Fidzup are leveraging offline market opportunies given the fact that this market is not under the Google and Facebook dominance. For instance, the French Actor Tabmo is trying to make the usage of mobile DSP more accessible to agencies accompanying brand thanks to its creation module : « GPstore (drive to store), MScroll (canvas type) and the SlideMotion (read the article here).
It is no more a question of proximity advertising but about the unicity of the location data that lead to new marketing strategies : Online to offline attribution, retargeting and re-engagement. What is important to keep in mind is to leverage on your CRM data and – onboarding thanks to cross-device data combination. According to Ray Kingman, CEO, Semcasting « By using IP, location and device matching, marketers can leverage mobile to execute deterministic attribution with 70%-90% coverage matching across all channels and platforms – both online and offline».
New marketing metrics are therefore emerging to mesure the online ad impact on offline sales with KPIs such as : visit rate, Cost-per-Visit (CPV), visit direction, number of visits, areas visited location intelligence:
To go further on the metrics subject, earlier at the Mobile World Congress hold in Barcelona (from the 26st of Feb until the 1st of March), the company Augury took the opportunity to publicize its first complete app ecosystem intelligence solution by launching « Active Insights »which combines cross-app data and provide full cross device reports . The Ogury mobile data collection plateform has data from more than 400 million users with audience segments based on the mobile users app usage. It give marketer competitors insights, how to deal with churn rate and how to segment their target to deploy mobile ad targeting then outside the apps which hit an unprecedent scale in terms of insights.
After casting a wide net around mobile strategies.. what if blockchain was coming into play ? Mobiquity Networks, a mobile location data intelligence provider adopted a blockchain layer into its marketing strategy. Its plateform gathers ID, IDFA (Apple Identifier) with anonymized location data (like footfall traffic in-store) via third-party permission-based mobile apps, primarily shopping apps and combined with other data in order to be sold to clients. Adding a hybrid blockchain layer to your database can help your business dealing with your data separation problems providing structures to guide your data pointers and breakdown each « event » within your blockchain together with IDs source written into it. Blockchain is therefore an extra key consideration to not underestimated in the digital marketing and advertising data management landscape.
To conclude, drive-to-store strategies on the marketing as not yet entered into a mature stage has its overall impact measurement (whatever the device used) is still not entirely manage by measurement companies. The latter are trying to provide real time insights to measure the entire online and near/in store customer journey that will allow brand to perform hyper locale marketing campaigns. The advent of contactless mobile payments is another factor that is going to reinforce the practice of real time targeted actions as well as analysis based on these new consumer behaviour shopping habits.
Therefore, the « mobile-ization » amongst retailers and pure players brands is on its way in France, blending greater ease and convenience of shopping experience for mobile users and customers looking for greater on the go experiences. | <urn:uuid:7daa1d77-b010-4df7-8d58-c18555ca3065> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://digital-me-up.com/2018/03/18/mobile-proximity-marketing-in-france/ | 2019-02-17T16:38:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247482186.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190217152248-20190217174248-00535.warc.gz | en | 0.907233 | 2,829 |
Improving Learning to Improve Health
“We have taken an idea that has been with us for long time and applied it to health. The concept of a learning system involves deep interdisciplinary science that can be applied to our own medical center and in health generally. Together our diverse faculty study the science of advancing how individuals, groups, organizations and systems learn--and how learning improves health.”
--Charles P. Friedman, PhD
The Department of Learning Health Sciences, a basic science department in the University of Michigan Medical School, focuses on revolutionizing learning and transforming health through the advancement of the sciences that make learning effective routine, and sustainable--at levels of scale from individuals to systems that span states and nations.
The Department of Learning Health Sciences embraces a bold and transcendent vision of learning. Once exclusively associated with attainment of knowledge and skills by individual persons, entities that learn now can be individuals, groups, organizations, regions, states, and entire nations. Once restricted to a specific time and location, learning now occurs everywhere and continuously. Learning is no longer seen as an activity with a single endpoint, but rather as the key element of a virtuous cycle of continuous improvement.
Learning in this sense is predicated on and sustained by a set of values that can be shared by groups, organizations and systems. A learning culture values an openness to new information and a readiness to rapidly change on that basis. Socio-technical infrastructure that persists in the world enables continuous study and improvement to be embedded in routine practice without being seen as a burden or a kind of overhead. A learning culture recognizes that continuous improvement is “what we do here”—akin to the well-documented safety culture in aviation—so much so that it is not routinely acknowledged or discussed.
Learning in this transcendent sense can be seen as a field of trans-disciplinary scientific investigation that develops deeper understanding of learning processes and their supporting infrastructures across levels of scale. Behavioral, social, implementation and organizational science; cognitive and information science; ethics and policy science and other fields combine to create the rich intellectual tapestry forming the learning sciences. | <urn:uuid:5b77764f-2bef-4ba7-b651-12953805babd> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://medicine.umich.edu/dept/lhs/explore-learning-health-sciences | 2020-01-19T20:03:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250594705.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200119180644-20200119204644-00328.warc.gz | en | 0.931669 | 430 |
Many businesses attempt to drive their success with a high-pressure culture that focuses exclusively on short-term productivity gains. However, a growing body of research in organizational psychology shows that such a culture actually reduces productivity in the long term. A positive corporate culture increases productivity by reducing stress in the work environment, which can minimize the costs of maintaining a traditional culture. The following steps can help to foster a positive culture:
- Social connections
A single-minded push to improve productivity incurs several hidden costs. For example, BioMed Central reports that a high-pressure workplace can increase health expenditures by almost 50 percent. The American Psychological Association (APA) also estimates workplace stress costs the U.S. economy over half a trillion dollars and 550 million lost workdays each year.
Disengagement is another cost of a cut-throat work environment. This type of culture may generate greater engagement in the short-term due to excitement, but it’s likely to result in a loss of interest in the long run. A study by the Gallup Organization shows that disengaged workers make 60 percent more errors than engaged employees. Workplace stress can also cost a business by reducing the loyalty of its employees. For example, the Center for American Progress estimates the cost of replacing an employee to be about 20 percent of that person’s annual salary.

Physical safety is an obvious factor in creating a positive work environment, but research shows that psychological safety is increasingly important for improving productivity. Leaders can foster psychological safety by encouraging communication from their staff, especially when they need help. Humility and a desire to include staff in decisions are also important qualities for creating a safe workplace. Employee empowerment leads to superior performance, especially when it’s combined with the right individual training and teamwork. Recent research at Sheffield University shows that these factors are more effective in improving productivity than increasing the efficiency of operations and manufacturing practices.
Leaders who are willing to sacrifice themselves can often inspire long-lasting loyalty in their employees. Many leaders are fair, but true self-sacrifice in the workplace generally involves leaders helping employees in some way, even when not required to do so. Self-sacrifice can motivate employees to do the same for other employees, which can help to create and maintain a reinforcing cycle of positive behavior. Recent research shows that employees with self-sacrificing leaders trust their leaders more and view them as more effective. This mind set results in greater cooperation with other team members, thus increasing productivity.
Most people become more productive when they form strong social connections with their co-workers. Many studies show specific psychological benefits to social connections, including increased productivity, faster learning and greater mental acuity. Physical benefits of social connections include a reduced rate of illness, lower probability of depression and greater tolerance for discomfort. A 2014 study at the University of California showed that people with poor social relationships have a 70 percent greater chance dying prematurely than those with good social ties. By comparison, the chances of dying prematurely are 50 percent greater for smokers, 30 percent greater for heavy drinkers and 20 percent greater for obese people.
Leaders have great influence over the feelings of their employees, which directly affects productivity. Researchers at the University of Michigan have suggested that empathetic leaders are particularly effective at promoting a group’s resilience during a difficult time. Furthermore, a 2012 study of brain images showed increased activity in the regions of the brain that deal with negative emotion when the subjects recalled an occasion when their bosses showed a lack of empathy. Similarly, the scans showed reduced activity in these areas when the subjects thought about a time their bosses were empathetic.
A workplace that increases the positive emotions of its workers will become more productive over time. An improvement in the relationships that workers have with each other can help protect them from the effects of stress, allowing them to function more effectively under challenging conditions. Leaders can foster this type of environment by going beyond their required duties to help their employees feel secure in their working environment. Empathy for employees can also be an effective method of improving productivity, even when it's unaccompanied by a solution to an employee’s problem. | <urn:uuid:068559b8-865d-4217-a43a-840723b0dd6f> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://blog.near-me.com/positivity-leads-to-productivity | 2018-03-20T00:26:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647244.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20180319234034-20180320014034-00381.warc.gz | en | 0.949768 | 845 |
It’s got a few more wrinkles in it now, but there’s no mistaking that face. Anyone who watched game shows or Johnny Carson in the 1960s and ’70s ran into Orson Bean. Witty, charming, quick with a quip, he seemed perfectly tailored to the demands of live-audience television.
What most people outside of New York didn’t know was that Bean also pursued a career in theater at the same time. On Broadway he tackled major roles, including well-received appearances in “Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?” (1955) and “Subways Are for Sleeping” (1961), for which he received a Tony nomination.
“I could do game shows at the same time I was working on Broadway because they were (filmed) in the afternoons,” said Bean, 85, who plays two characters in South Coast Repertory’s world-premiere production of Noah Haidle’s play “Smokefall,” which opens April 5.
Bean said even some of his Hollywood colleagues had no idea about his theater career at the time. “A lot of people didn’t know I was doing Broadway. They thought I was one of those guys who was famous for being famous. I was the one who sat next to Charles Nelson Reilly and said funny things.”
Theater has always been his passion, Bean said, even when he seemed to be everywhere on the tube. He thinks any actor who’s serious about his craft should follow suit.
“I did a lot of TV work for more than 30 years in New York and L.A., but I would get on the stage whenever I could. I believe actors should get up there and do Equity waiver (productions) for nothing.
“Young actors ask me for advice. They say, ‘Should I get an agent?’ I tell them, ‘Don’t worry about that. Act, act, act. Get into that production of “The Three Sisters” in a church basement. Consider every audition a chance to act, even if it’s just for three minutes. Just do it whenever and wherever you can.'”
Bean, who has enjoyed successful stints as a provocative columnist and nonfiction author, is an admirer of risk-taking writers. He loves the work of screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, whom he got to know when he was in Kaufman’s “Being John Malkovich” in 1999.
Bean wasn’t familiar with Haidle’s work when he was cast in “Smokefall” but he feels the same way about the 34-year-old Michigan-born playwright, whose edgy and offbeat work has been seen in three productions at SCR since 2004.
“I was never aware of Noah before this but he’s (expletive) brilliant. He reminds me of Charlie (Kaufman): He’s a little crazy and very creative. We’ve had a couple of nights out, me and Noah, over a glass of wine. We get along wonderfully.”
‘An amazing adventure’
Bean plays two roles in “Smokefall,” which looks at an eccentric Midwestern family over several decades and three generations.
“In the first part I play a retired military man who’s losing it. He looks at his daughter one minute and says, ‘I love you honey,’ and then the next minute he doesn’t even recognize her. It’s funny but sad.
“In the second part I play that character’s grandson at the age of 77. It’s an odd time-travel thing.”
The play bends reality as well as time, Haidle said.
“The first part is a typical family play. A woman is pregnant with twins. That part ends with her water breaking.
“The second act is set inside her womb. The twins debate whether or not to be born. They’re actually pretty smart guys, quite erudite. They’re also kids, so they’re punching and tickling each other, too.”
A scene that unfolds inside a womb – that’s a little bizarre even for Noah Haidle. But the playwright explained that there’s no attempt at realism.
“The womb scene is done on these steps that come out so they hang over the lip of the stage. The twins are wearing red tuxedos. They’re dressed up for the big event.”
“Smokefall” is set in Haidle’s hometown of Grand Rapids and contains autobiographical elements, the playwright acknowledged. He has recently returned to Michigan to bring some balance to his life after a period of personal and professional difficulties (he mentions the disappointing box-office reception for his 2012 gangster film “Stand Up Guys” among them), and he enjoys the relative proximity to his family and the unvarnished realism of living in Detroit.
“I went through some tough times and came back here. It’s funny, because when I grew up here all I wanted to do was leave. The third act of the play is about this guy who’s 80 years old and had never left home. He spent his entire life tending to this tree that his mother planted.”
Haidle loathes metaphors and life-art parallels, but he admits that aspects of the story could be seen as a reflection of what he’s going through at the moment. “After living in New York and L.A., I’ve found that Michigan is great for me. I have no intention of leaving. I’m close to my family, I love the topography and the weather.”
“Smokefall” helped Haidle to answer a fundamental personal question. “I was asking, ‘What is a worthwhile life for me?’ And the answer has been very surprising.”
Haidle has surprised himself in other ways, working in a theater for underprivileged kids in Detroit and finding beauty and truth in its empty streets and enterprising residents.
“I never imagined myself here in a million years, and here I am. The past couple of years have been an amazing adventure.”

Leaked ‘Five Eyes’ dossier on alleged Chinese coronavirus coverup consistent with US findings, officials say
Get all the latest news on coronavirus and more delivered daily to your inbox. Sign up here.
A research dossier compiled by the so-called “Five Eyes” intelligence alliance, that reportedly concludes China intentionally hid or destroyed evidence of the coronavirus pandemic, is consistent with U.S. findings about the origins of the outbreak so far, senior U.S. officials told Fox News on Saturday.
The 15-page document from the intelligence agencies of the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia and New Zealand, was obtained by Australia’s Saturday Telegraph newspaper and finds that China’s secrecy amounted to an “assault on international transparency.”
The dossier, which is likely to further increase pressure on the Chinese government to explain its actions and early statements, points to the initial denial by the government that the virus could be transmitted between humans, the silencing of doctors, destruction of evidence, and a refusal to provide samples to scientists working on a vaccine.
While U.S. intelligence is not confirming the existence of the 15-page document, a senior official told Fox that reports of the document aligns with U.S. intelligence that China knew the spread between humans earlier than it said, that it knew it was a novel coronavirus earlier than it said and that it was spread wider than they reported to the international community in the first weeks of the outbreak.
But there are some exceptions. In particular, Australia believes the virus originated in a wet market, as the Chinese have claimed. However, the U.S. intelligence community has not yet determined this and is still leaning away from that theory.
Fox News first reported last month that there is increasing confidence from U.S. officials that the virus likely escaped from the lab in Wuhan, where the naturally-occurring strain was being studied not as a bioweapon but as part of a Chinese effort to show that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than those of the U.S. This would be at odds with claims the outbreak originated at a nearby wet market. The U.S. is investigating the matter.
President Trump said Thursday that he’s seen evidence suggesting the virus came from a lab after Fox News and others asked if he knew of anything that gave him confidence that the outbreak originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
A senior intelligence source told Fox News on Saturday that most, as many as 70-75 percent, of the 17 U.S. intelligence agencies believe it came from a laboratory but the remaining agencies cannot yet agree as there is not a “smoking gun.”
The source said that the agencies have come down to two potential origins for the accident – animal-human transmission, or a mistake in the lab, but there is evidence of both options with most leaning toward the laboratory explanation — although both scenarios are attributable to mistakes.
The source told Fox that the reports show “how duplicitous the Chinese have been” in regard to information about the origins and spread of the virus and that “the impact of their secrecy has really shaken our allies.”
“Everyone is furious with the Chinese,” the source said,
The new “Five Eyes” dossier finds that China began censoring news of the virus on search engines and social media beginning Dec. 31, deleting terms including “SARS variation,” “Wuhan Seafood market” and “Wuhan Unknown Pneumonia.”
Three days later, on Jan. 3, China’s National Health Commission ordered virus samples to be either moved to designated testing facilities or destroyed, while simultaneously issuing a “no-publication order” related to the disease.
The Saturday Telegraph report includes a timeline of Chinese obfuscation. On Jan. 5, for example, Wuhan’s Municipal Health Commission stopped releasing daily updates on the number of new cases and would not resume them for 13 days. On Jan. 10, Wang Guanga, a respiratory specialist at Peking University First Hospital who had been investigating the outbreak, said it was “under control” and largely a “mild condition.” (Wang himself would disclose 12 days later that he had been infected with the virus.)
Two days later, on Jan. 12, a Shanghai professor’s lab was closed down after it shared data on the virus’ genetic sequence with the outside world. On Jan. 24, Chinese officials stopped the Wuhan Institute of Virology from sharing virus samples with a lab at the University of Texas.
The dossier also concludes that Chinese authorities denied that the virus could be spread between humans until Jan. 20, “despite evidence of human-human transmission from early December.”
The file is similarly critical about the World Health Organization (WHO), stating that it toed the Chinese line about human-to-human transmission despite the fact that “officials in Taiwan raised concerns as early as December 31, as did experts in Hong Kong on January 4.”
Fox News reported last month that the WHO — which President Trump paused funding to last month over its role in the crisis — was either complicit in the coverup, or looked the other way. The WHO and China have denied any wrongdoing.
The dossier goes on to state that throughout February, “Beijing [pressed] the U.S., Italy, India, Australia, Southeast Asian neighbours [sic] and others not to protect themselves via travel restrictions, even as [China] impose[d] severe restrictions at home.”
At the same time, the file states: “Millions of people [left] Wuhan after the outbreak and before Beijing lock[ed] down the city on January 23.”
On Friday, WHO officials said that it was assured that the virus is “natural in origin.”
“We have listened again and again to numerous scientists who have looked at the sequence and looked at the virus and we are assured that this virus is natural in origin,” Dr. Michael Ryan, executive director of WHO’s Health Emergencies Program, said at a press conference when asked about the virus’ origins.
“What is important is that we establish what that natural host for this virus is, and the primary purpose of doing that is to ensure we understand the virus more, we understand the animal-human interface and we understand how the animal-human species barrier was breached,” he said.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE is well aware that the public’s new perception of him as a movie star — one on indefinite hiatus from his platinum-plus pop music career — comes with certain perks as well as a few potent liabilities.
Timberlake’s colorful performance as Facebook co-founding father Sean Parker in the David Fincher-directed box-office hit “The Social Network” netted him the best reviews of his still nascent film career and sparked speculation that the onetime Mr. SexyBack may land an Oscar nomination for supporting actor Jan. 25. Consequently, the six-time Grammy winner’s stock as an actor has shot through the roof. Timberlake recently wrapped his first leading role, in the romantic comedy “Friends With Benefits” opposite Mila Kunis, and he’s currently filming his debut action-hero role — that benchmark of mass appeal in Hollywood — in the sci-fi thriller “Now.”
But Timberlake acknowledged that the lengthy break from his recording career — his last album was released in 2006, and none are in the works — has created a backlash among some fans. “They’re looking at me like, ‘Why aren’t you staying with one path?'” he said. “They look at me like I’m ungrateful for my music career because I want to do film.”
His plan all along
Seated in a small office at NBC’s Burbank studios recently before a taping of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” appearing thoughtful and uncharacteristically somber in a black cardigan and Buddy Holly-esque glasses, Timberlake took pains to explain that this acting thing isn’t some fluke; he considered coming to Los Angeles to break into television as early as 1995, before future band mate Chris Kirkpatrick persuaded Timberlake to commit to ‘N Sync, which went on to become the most popular boy band of the decade.
Indeed, Timberlake brackets any current debate with his earlier career metamorphosis. His decision to quit ‘N Sync in 2002 and develop a solo career was greeted with as much, if not much more, shock and dismay by millions of screaming fans.
“I faced the same feelings when I went solo,” said Timberlake, absent-mindedly cracking his knuckles at the memory. “I had the same obstacles in music. I still do. But I feel like I should pose the question to everyone else: If you had this opportunity, what would you do with it?”
“Entertaining is in my blood,” he continued. “I make no bones about the fact that I have always wanted to work in the forum of film. I take this seriously. I’ll be 30 in January, and I’m saying to myself, ‘If I’m going to do this, I need to do it now.'”
Start near the bottom
The acumen with which Timberlake has developed his screen career was thrown into even more flattering perspective in November when his former cast mate on the Disney Channel’s early-’90s “All New Mickey Mouse Club,” fellow pop star Christina Aguilera, followed the more common route for young singers and took on a lead role in the musical “Burlesque.” Her acting was dismissed by critics, and the film has done tepid box-office business.
By contrast, Timberlake aimed low at first. He accepted supporting parts (the 2006 indie drama-thriller “Alpha Dog”), vocal roles in animated movies (the box-office smash “Shrek the Third”), joined ensembles (2005’s widely panned straight-to-video thriller “Edison”) and contributed glorified cameos (Mike Myers’ comedic misfire “The Love Guru” in 2008) en route to creating consciousness for himself as an actor without the burden of carrying those movies on his own.
“I think that people became more trusting,” Timberlake said. “And when they become more trusting — entrusting you to lead the vision — you get to create more.”
Chalk up that uptick in actorly trust in part to Timberlake’s career overseers: Rick Yorn (whose clients include Jude Law and Martin Scorsese) operates as his movie manager, and Ari Emanuel, head of William Morris Endeavor, has served as Timberlake’s movie agent for the last couple of years — perhaps not coincidentally, the precise span of time in which his film career has caught fire.
Timberlake now has finished three consecutive films for Sony Pictures — he followed up “The Social Network” with “Friends With Benefits” for its Screen Gems division and the ribald comedy “Bad Teacher” (costarring ex-girlfriend Cameron Diaz) for Sony subsidiary Columbia Pictures — and studio co-chairman Amy Pascal says it’s a testament to his versatility and on-screen skill set.
“He can do it all,” said Pascal. “He’s a character actor, a serious dramatic star. I think he’ll be great in action movies, and I think he’s a romantic lead. I don’t know what else you could ask for.”
Thanks to ‘SNL’
To hear it from various Hollywood movie honchos, the wellspring of interest in Timberlake’s acting services can be traced back to one source: his stints guest-hosting and appearing in digital videos for “Saturday Night Live,” for which the entertainer won two Emmys. “SNL” creator and longtime executive producer Lorne Michaels pinpointed Timberlake’s 2003 guest host appearance — most notable for his “Omeletteville” sketch opposite cast member Chris Parnell — as the moment Hollywood’s eyes opened to the star’s viability on-screen.
“Look, comedy and music are both about rhythm and timing,” Michaels said. “We just saw that — in the old-fashioned sense of it — he’s an entertainer. I think people saw for the first time, in the same way you would have 40 years ago with Dean Martin or any number of performers, here was a star.” | <urn:uuid:3d503e4c-26a5-47ab-ad23-b82211035c0e> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://www.mercurynews.com/2010/12/21/not-content-to-be-a-heartthrob-justin-timberlake-is-ready-to-conquer-film-2/ | 2017-08-23T06:22:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886117874.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20170823055231-20170823075231-00242.warc.gz | en | 0.972439 | 1,360 |

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Japan Frozen Seafood Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2021-2026,” the Japan frozen seafood market size reached US$ 731.6 Million in 2020. Frozen seafood products are pre-packaged in vacuum-sealed bags that can be stored in the freezer for preserving the taste and essential nutrients and prevent the growth of pathogenic bacteria and parasites. They help maintain healthy eyesight, stimulate brain growth, promote heart health, and improve the overall immune system. Their consumption is rising in Japan as seafood plays a pivotal role in traditional cuisine and represents one of the major sources of animal protein.
We are regularly tracking the direct effect of COVID-19 on the market, along with the indirect influence of associated industries. These observations will be integrated into the report.
Japan Frozen Seafood Market Trends:
There is a considerable rise in the demand for affordable and healthier meals across Japan. This, along with a significant increase in the geriatric population, represents one of the key factors strengthening the growth of the market. Apart from this, the rising health consciousness among the masses and the growing trend of ready-to-eat (RTE) frozen meals are creating a favorable market outlook. Moreover, frozen seafood products are widely utilized in the preparation of sashimi, nigiri, tendon, and kaki fry. Furthermore, the rising cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are positively influencing the sales of frozen seafood products via online distribution channels in the country. This can be accredited to stringent lockdown regulations in numerous cities and the easy availability of high-speed internet connections. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach US$ 848.4 Million by 2026, expanding at a CAGR of 2.50% during the forecast period (2021-2026).
- Based on the type, the market has been classified into pacific salmon, tuna (bigeye), mackerel, tuna (yellowfin), octopus, crabs, trout, cuttlefish, jack and horse mackerel, and other frozen fishes. At present, pacific salmon accounts for the majority of the total market share.
- On the basis of the distribution channel, the market has been divided into supermarkets and hypermarkets, convenience stores, specialty retailers, online, and others. Presently, supermarkets and hypermarkets hold the biggest market share.
- Based on the sector, the institutional segment dominates the market, followed by the retail.
- The competitive landscape of the market has been examined, with some of the key players being Kibun Foods Inc., Nippon Suisan Kaisha, Ltd., Marudai Food Co. Ltd., and Maruha Nichiro Corporation.

Each year the Fourth Grade classes from West Elementary School visit the Museum. This is a highlight as the history of our village is shared with these eager learners. Previous to the museum visist, Elaine Garlock, gives a historical talk. Then the classes each walk to the Museum noting historical spots along the way. Classes are taken through the Depot and the Frieght Station with a sort of "historical scavenger hunt." Thank you to the Fourth Grade teachers who incorporate this into their Michigan History Unit.
One of the most popular items on display at the Lake Odessa Museum is a 1964 New Yorker. Shown above is Emmi Klein a great grand daughter of the original owner of this car Allie Klein Kluinsteker. Emmi recently toured the museum as part of the Fourth Grade Tour and was proud to show off her grandmother's car to her class mates.
The Class of 1966 of Lakewood High School held a reunion the last week-end of September. There were many activities and gatherings and quite a few visited the Museum as part of their week-end walk down memory lane. Shown here are four from the class: Marti (Livingston) Lind, Bill Mathis, Terry Adams and Terri (Mulliken) Allen. It was great to see so many visit Lake Odessa and rekindle old friendships!
The September Display focused on the agricultural history of our area. Many photos, farm tools and implements and other historical items filled the museum relating this important part of community. Several antique tractors greeted the visitors as they entered the parking lot and a big crowd enjoyed this first time display. | <urn:uuid:9b358078-bce0-479f-8f85-1fcac2dd0fbb> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://lakeoahs.blogspot.com/2011/10/ | 2018-06-18T06:01:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860089.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618051104-20180618071104-00070.warc.gz | en | 0.952156 | 405 |
Iran ratcheted up its sabre-rattling on Tuesday when one of its officials warned a preemptive strike against its enemies is possible.
"Our strategy now is that if we feel our enemies want to endanger Iran's national interests, and want to decide to do that, we will act without waiting for their actions,'' Mohammad Hejazi told the Fars news agency, according to MSNBC. Hejazi is the deputy head of the Islamic Republic's armed forces.
That comes as a U.N. team visiting Iran has no plans to inspect the country's nuclear facilities and as the country announced air defense war games to practice protecting nuclear and other sensitive sites, the latest in a series of military maneuvers viewed as a message to the West that Iran is prepared both to defend itself against an armed strike and to retaliate.
The U.S. and Israel have not ruled out military action against Iran's nuclear program.
The official news agency IRNA said the four-day air defense war games, dubbed "Sarallah," or "God's Revenge," were taking place in the south of the country and involve anti-aircraft batteries, radar, and warplanes. The drill will be held over 73,000 square miles (190,000 square kilometers) near the port of Bushehr, the site of Iran's lone nuclear power plant.
Iran has held multiple air, land, and sea maneuvers in recent months as the tensions increase.
Iran has also docked two warships in Syria as a show of support for the brutal Assad regime.

Epicephala impolliniferens Li
Li, Houhun, Wang, Zhibo & Hu, Bingbing, 2015, Four new species of Epicephala Meyrick, 1880 (Lepidoptera, Gracillariidae) associated with two species of Glochidion (Phyllanthaceae) from Hainan Island in China, ZooKeys 508, pp. 53-67: 55-58
treatment provided by
|Epicephala impolliniferens Li|
Taxon classification Animalia Lepidoptera Gracillariidae
Epicephala impolliniferens Li sp. n. Figs 6, 10, 12, 16
Adult (Fig. 6). Forewing expanse 7.0−10.5 mm. Head white to yellowish white mixed with brown scales. Labial palpus white, inner surface with scattered grayish brown scales; distal 1/2 to 2/3 of second palpomere brown to dark brown on outer surface, third palpomere dark brown on outer surface except tip. Antenna grayish brown to dark brown, each flagellomere paler at base. Thorax white. Tegula dark brown. Forewing brown to dark brown; three pairs white striae from both costal and dorsal margins at 2/5, 2/3 and 3/4 extending obliquely outward to middle as well as to end and outside of cell, second dorsal stria longest and third costal stria shortest; dorsal margin with a broad white band extending from base to tornus; a silvery-white fascia with metallic reflection from costal 6/7 to dorsal margin, gently arched outward; distal 1/7 yellowish brown, with a central black dot, with an indistinct white dot at costa and a white streak along dorsal margin; cilia basally black, medially white, distally black from distal part of costal margin to apex, white from termen to tornus, gray along dorsal margin. Hindwing yellowish white (especially at base) to brown; cilia gray.
Male genitalia (Fig. 12). Tegumen broadly oval, sclerotized laterally. Costa as long as tegumen, slightly broadened at base, rounded at apex, with long dense setae ventrally, distal 4/5 nearly parallel dorso-ventrally; dorsal margin straight; ventral margin with lobed process obliquely outward. Sacculus elongate oval, about 3/4 length of costa, acute distally. Transtilla broad at base, narrowed triangularly, curved ventrad distally, acute apically. Vinculum V-shaped, rounded on posterior margin; saccus broad digitiform, as long as vinculum, slightly narrowed at base, rounded at apex. Phallus thick and straight, slightly longer than valva, gently thinned from base to apex; cornuti consisting of four to six spines, usually one or two large, compactly grouped into a bundle.
Female genitalia (Fig. 16). Ovipositor small, triangular, dentate laterally, acute apically. Apophysis posterioris obviously thick and strong, 1.5 times longer than apophysis anterioris. Lamella postvaginalis small, rounded, about twice as wide as ostium bursae. Antrum sclerotized, short, as long as lamella postvaginalis. Ductus bursae about same length of apophysis anterioris, membranous, with longitudinal parallel folds, compactly grouped into a broad, heavily sclerotized band extending from base to corpus bursae; ductus seminalis membranous, arising anterior of ductus bursae. Corpus bursae oval, small, about half length of ductus bursae, with reticulate patches medially; signum triangular, placed at middle.
This species is similar to Epicephala domina sp. n. in appearance, but can be separated from the latter by the female proboscis without tip-dilated sensory setae (Fig. 10); in the male genitalia by the apex-rounded costa with a lobed process on ventral margin medially, the sacculus with apex elongate-acute, the phallus with four to six cornuti compactly grouped into a bundle; in the female genitalia by the apically acute ovipositor, the small rounded lamella postvaginalis, the antrum as long as the lamella postvaginalis, the ductus bursae about same length of apophysis anterioris. In Epicephala domina sp. n., the female proboscis possesses a large number of tip-dilated sensory setae as most species in the genus (Fig. 9), which can hold numerous pollen grains for pollination; in the male genitalia the costa has an obliquely rounded apex and a rounded protuberance at 3/4 on ventral margin, the sacculus is shortly acute at apex, the cornutus is a rolled plate; in the female genitalia the ovipositor is bilobed at apex, the lamella postvaginalis consists of two triangles with acute apex; the antrum is as long as the ductus bursae, and the ductus bursae is about half length of the apophysis anterioris.
Epicephala impolliniferens sp. n. is the first species of non-pollinating Epicephala associated with Glochidion , and the second named species within the genus (following Epicephala relictella Kuznetzov, 1979) in which the female proboscis lacks the tip-dilated sensory setae on its surface for carrying pollens. Species of the genus Epicephala are noteworthy for their obligate pollination habits, which involve mutualistic relationship with trees of Phyllanthaceae . However, both Epicephala impolliniferens sp. n. and Epicephala relictella Kuznetzov are not associated with pollination in biology referring to the morphology of the female proboscis. Epicephala relictella feeds on the seeds of Flueggea suffruticosa (Pall.) Baill. ( Hu et al. 2011b). Kawakita and Kato (2009) reported several undescribed Epicephala species that do not pollinate their hosts. We have confirmed one of them not belonging to the genus Epicephala (unpublished data), and the status of the other undescribed species needs to be determined.
48♂, 64♀, with genitalia preparations of 48♂ and 46♀.
Holotype ♂ − CHINA: Hainan Province: Yinggeling Mountain Nature Reserves (19°01'N, 109°33'E), 450 m, 11.i.2013, reared from host-plant Glochidion sphaerogynum by Zhibo Wang, genitalia slide no. WZB14178.
Paratypes − CHINA: Hainan Province: 3♂, 5♀, Yinggeling Mountain Nature Reserves (19°01'N, 109°33'E), 450 m, 12.vi.2010, 18-26.ix.2010, leg. Bingbing Hu; 45♂, 58♀, same locality as holotype, 19.xii.2012-24.i.2013, 12.i.-20.ii2014, reared or collected from Glochidion sphaerogynum by Zhibo Wang (2♂, 2♀, deposited in BMNH).
The specific name is derived from the Latin im- (= not), pollinicus (= pollen) and ferre (= to carry, to bear), in reference to the non-pollinating habit.

Summer holiday season has come! Tokyo-based quartet The Natsuyasumi Band – The Summer Holiday Band – has just released their third album, “Phantasia”.
From this record, they’ve shared “Grand Master Memories“, a collaboration with Yomeiri Land on SoundCloud, and “Odyssey” on You Tube, which starts with a graceful piano, followied by twinkling steelpan, and a suddenly intense melody of synthesizer that might throw us into outer space.
In the middle of “Odyssey’s” video, directed by Katsuki Tanaka, we can see an animation of the group’s members flying, which moves us from ordinary life to science fiction. But don’t worry. The Natsuyasumi Band was back to the globe in order to play at Fuji Rock festival, one of the largest events in Japan. Now you can see their photos on here and here. | <urn:uuid:6e38e2fb-1164-41bc-ba2d-06c84a4fe146> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://beehy.pe/natsuyasumi-band-phantasia-japan/ | 2018-05-20T10:20:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863277.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20180520092830-20180520112830-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.935495 | 206 |

The Les Clefs d’Or (pronounced ‘lay clay door’, meaning ‘keys of gold’) is an international network of concierges expected to make the ‘impossible requests of a guest possible, no matter how strange’. They have ‘sources of inside information, intelligence and communication’. The first hotel in India to have a member of the Les Clefs d’Or was The Oberoi, Mumbai in 1986.
Sunny Prasher, a decorated member of Les Clefs d’Or India, was Chief Concierge at The Leela Palace, New Delhi on 17th January, 2014. It is widely alleged that on that date a murdered Sunanda Pushkar’s body was moved from Room No. 307 to Room No. 345. If this is true, the concierge’s role cannot be understated.
#345 has gone down in history as the hotel room that has been closed to guests for the longest possible time, since January 2014. Over three years later, any possible evidence of foul play or forensic clues would have long gone. No one from the Delhi Police has checked in, or checked out, for the past 15 months. No other police force in the world can preserve clues and evidence for so long in a room that must be, by now, covered in dust and cobwebs since housekeeping has been barred.
The Leela Palace recently moved an application before a Delhi Court. It was claimed that there are 17 Suites in the entire hotel. The cost of these range from Rs. 55,000 to Rs. 61,000 per night, depending on the season. But the hotel’s inability to offer Suite No. 345 to its patrons in the last 3 years has caused a loss of approximately Rs. 50 Lakh.
The Room Number Duality also existed while filming The Shining (1980, dir. Stanley Kubrick). Timberline Lodge, located on Mt. Hood in Oregon, was used for the exterior shots of the fictional Overlook Hotel. Ironically, the lodge requested that Kubrick not depict Room No. 217 (featured in Stephen King’s book) because future guests might be afraid to stay there. A non-existent Room No. 237 was substituted in the film.
There is a long list of notorious hotel room numbers. In Room No. 100, Hotel Chelsea, New York – Sid Vicious, The Prince of Punk awoke finding his girlfriend dead on the bathroom floor from a stab wound. He was charged with murder. He died of a heroin overdose while out of jail on bail, awaiting trial.
Bob Woolmer, coach to the Pakistan Cricket Team, would be found dead in the white-tiled bathroom of Room No. 374, on the 12th floor of The Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in Kingston. It is now a ‘hot tourist destination’.
Janis Joplin (105), Jimi Hendrix (507), Whitney Houston (434), Sridevi (2201) are just some of the talented and famous who have met their demise in a hotel room.
Does the temporary nature of staying in a hotel inspire the urge to make a lasting impression or cause permanent damage? Or is it the knowledge that all indulgences, or at least most, will be forgiven the moment the bill is signed? So many rationales, none of which begin to explain why you would dangle your baby out the window (Michael Jackson, Hotel Adlon Kempinski, Berlin).
As per Court Orders, Delhi Police Commissioner Amulya Patnaik has formed a team of four senior officials under the supervision of DCP (South) to prepare a report on the plea of The Leela Place. At present, the hotel is spearheaded by two sisters, grand-daughters of Captain Chittarath Poovakkatt Krishnan Nair, one of them a fan of Wes Anderson. Connoisseurs of alleged crime and the hotel motif wait eagerly for their next step. | <urn:uuid:68686c33-4dd2-48ad-b48a-d9801d97965d> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://rudrajyotinathray.com/2017/06/28/notorious-hotel-rooms-the-case-of-the-sealed-suite/ | 2019-06-18T10:10:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998708.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20190618083336-20190618105336-00377.warc.gz | en | 0.950675 | 826 |
Pop. Clink. Fizz! We are poppin’ bottles and celebrating 2 years since the launch of Sleepless in Sequins today! Oh, what a two years it’s been. With hundreds of styles featured, numerous events supporting our favorite brands, runway shows, and the gift of working with my very best friend and husband, I feel lucky for the experiences we’ve shared over the past two years.
What absolutely means the most is the love and support of you, our readers. We create, in order to inspire you through fashion and photography. It’s easy to see a model, perfectly styled in a magazine, and feel that look of perfection is too challenging to achieve. We want you to see real life style. I am far from perfection, but hope to show you the beauty and style in everyday life, and give you ideas that you can achieve on your own. The idea is to have fun with your look, show confidence, and live your life in true celebration. To hear your feedback, and to know we inspire you means the world to us.
I feel so thankful for the fashion blogging community we’ve met along the way. These women truly inspire me. We are all on the same mission, but each of us sees differently through our own eyes of style. I admire each and every blogger I know for different reasons and that’s the beauty of it.
Do you have a passion that you love? Something that you can’t stop dreaming about? If you attack your passion with all of your heart, it will never feel like work. In my mind, that’s the key to happiness, and the greatest challenge may be discovering this gift. Never give up on it. Each one of you has something greater than you may ever believe, and you will find it. I promise.
To celebrate our 2 years in sequins, I chose Milly’s Cubist Print Cut-Out Sheath Dress. I loved the combination of the colorful print combined with the the black as a contrast color. I often choose these fitted silhouettes, as they work well with my body type. This dress is definitely flattering to the figure, and the cut out pieces in the silhouette are so much fun. The dress shows a bit of skin, but just enough for the dress to still look playful, but sophisticated.
I accessorized with my brand new Valentino sunnies, and Christian Louboutin Bianca Pumps. I wore silver jewelry, and chose an electric blue clutch (similar here) to accentuate the colors in the dress.
It was the very best day to celebrate in NYC. We had our first warm, sunny weekend, and the weather couldn’t have been better. Central Park and Bryant Park were both alive, and full of people enjoying the wonderful weather. We spent the majority of our day in Central Park, and toasted with champagne along with our favorite ice cream treats in the evening.
So Beauties, I hope you’ve enjoyed 2 years of our Sleepless in Sequins journey. If there are any styles you’d like to see, opinions, ideas, or further inspiration, we’d love to hear your thoughts. We’re here to help you live your lives in style, and dream bigger than you ever thought possible. We hope you continue to join on our path of adventure in NYC. We are grateful for you, always. Sending love and thanks for a spectacular 2 years. “Life is short. Wear sequins and enjoy the party.” xo

Join us Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. as we study “Jesus Among Secular Gods” by Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale.
During this 8 week course we will learn how to confront the empty promises of cultural philosophies and develop confidence sharing the claims of Christ.
Class begins August 26th.
Study Guide Books are available to purchase for $13. Book is not required to attend the class.
As belief in the secular gods of atheism, hedonism, relativism, and humanism continues to grow, it’s more important than ever for believers to be able to defend and share the claims of Christ. Of course, this clash of worldviews is nothing new. Throughout Paul’s writing in the New Testament are references to elemental forces that seek to separate believers from the love and truth of Jesus.
Not only has the Christian worldview been devalued and dismissed by modern culture, but its believers are also openly ridiculed as irrelevant. This six-session Bible study challenges the popular and trending philosophies of the day, skillfully pointing out the fallacies in their claims and presenting compelling evidence for absolute truth as found in Jesus and revealed in Scripture.
This study helps seekers explore the claims of Christ and provides Christians with the knowledge to articulate their faith that Jesus stands tall above all other gods. | <urn:uuid:06c66054-99ff-4f70-aa75-c74589594656> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | http://hamptonfbc.org/event-items/adult-fall-discipleship-class/ | 2018-09-25T10:43:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267161501.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20180925103454-20180925123854-00222.warc.gz | en | 0.930004 | 273 |
On the road
12 MUST-HAVE TRAVEL GADGETS
Man, why didn't we think of that? We've tested them and now we're kinda obsessed with these gizmos!
I love a good gadget. But when it comes to travel, a gadget has to be really good for me to make space for it and lug it around. With bags full of snacks, activities, toys, devices, wipes, back-up outfits, and all the other accoutrements required when traveling with a little one, I only have room for stuff that’s going to be game-changing. So here are some of the travel gadgets that make the cut. We've included links for easy purchasing.
Kidtripster Tip: By the way, I’m slightly obsessed with the website, The Grommet. With more than 2,500 products, this company sources “unique, undiscovered products with a purpose invented by people with a story.” It launched big brand names like FitBit and OtterBox. The site is loaded with brilliant travel gadgets that are truly innovative.
Calling all head-bobbers and flycatchers! This one’s for you. Napping on a plane (or bus or train) just got a lot less embarrassing thanks to this soft but supportive scarf-like, neck saver. Lightweight and easy-to-pack, the Trtl has flexible internal supports that hold your head in a natural, ergonomic position which means no more leaning on anyone or anything. Wrap the soft, washable fleece scarf around your neck or around your face to hide that gapping mouth. It sure beats bulky, U-shaped travel pillows or the awkward and embarrassing blow-up kind! Cost: $29.95
Boring and obvious? Yes, but admit it – how many times have you taken the wrong adapter? Or worse yet, how many times have you had to pack several different chargers and adapters for one trip (one for your phone, tablet, laptop, and camera)? Enter the TWIST Plus World Adapter DUO. This bad boy has 2 USB ports, an AC adapter, and a built-in MacBook charging station allowing you to charge up to four items at a time in a single outlet. And with a simple twist, this universal adapter works in 150 different countries. $42.95
Also perfect for the world traveler: the TWIST World Charging Station. With four USB ports, you can charge several devices at once. Cost: $39.95
If you’re anything like me and the sight of a pedestal sink in your hotel bathroom (and nowhere to put your stuff) annoys you, then you’re going to love this latest invention. The Everything ORGO expands over any pedestal sink or standard sink bowl, turning it into a usable work surface while keeping all your toiletries organized, visible, and accessible. With two large compartments, zippered pockets, and removable organizing inserts, this toiletry case keeps everything neat and actually creates a flat surface to set things on.
I’ve tried dozens of toiletry bags over the years and am forever searching for one that’s better than the last. I’m not going to lie – I was skeptical about this one at first, thinking it was a little too big and bulky for me to love. But then I took a month-long trip to Europe that involved unpacking and repacking at least ten times and couldn’t believe how much faster it made my morning routine. I was able to find what I needed when I needed it without having to rifle through a bag in search of items. And I noticed that there were fewer spills because items stayed in place during travel. It’s durable, lightweight, and wipes clean easily with baby wipes. Cost: $44.95
KidTripster Tip: While the Everything ORGO is perfect for toiletries and cosmetics, it also works for keeping your kids’ toys, crayons, and activities organized on the airplane – even providing a flat surface for playing games, coloring or watching movies.
When leaving your hotel room and heading down to breakfast or the gym or pool, wouldn’t it be great to just carry your phone, room key, ID, and a few bucks? That’s what the woman who invented the Eyn (everything you need) smart phone case thought. Flip it open and you’ll find a hidden storage compartment that holds a few credit cards, your driver’s license, and some cash. It also has a mirror inside, attachable wrist strap, and a kickstand feature for watching videos and FaceTime chatting. You even can fit a single house key or one of these nifty lip glosses, designed especially for this case. Best of all: it actually does a great job protecting the phone too! And the most ringing endorsement? From a teenager I know who thought this case was "the coolest." Cost: $19.95
KidTripster Tip: This case is also great for city living and stroller users, keeping your most valuable belongings close and accessible. No more rummaging around in your bag or under the stroller for your wallet!
I can’t tell you how many parents that I know who swear by packing cubes. I’ve never been into them, mostly because I thought they just added weight to my bag. But then I tried these. The Spacepak compression bags release excess air so you can fit more clothes into less space – perfect for over-packers like me. And with individually labeled bags for clothes, shoes, underwear, and toiletries, this packing system makes it easier to find what you want, when you need it. They’re especially good for keeping you organized on multi-leg trips where you’re packing and unpacking several times. They're the best thing to happen to suitcases since the spinner wheel! Cost: Shoes $30; Underwear $42; Toiletries $42
If you think these are just fun, silly gadgets only your teenager could love, think again. This collapsible phone grip makes your phone or tablet more functional and colorful, too. Stick one to the back of your phone, pop out the accordion-like device, and hold it for a quick selfie or use it as a stand during video calls. Or do double duty and attach two PopSockets to the back of your phone and use it as a horizontal stand for watching movies or use them to wrap your earphones around. They’re not just frivolous and fun, they’re actually functional! Added bonus: it can make shooting video a lot steadier. PopSockets come in a ton of different colors, designs, and patterns. Cost: $10-15
This is THE travel gadget that we never leave home without! At least, not since we had a child who was old enough to watch a screen. The iGuy is a cute, kid-friendly, protective iPad case that makes your fragile devices nearly indestructible. And it’s not just a protective case; it’s a stand too. The iGuy’s soft, squishy arms allow clumsy, little hands to hold onto the iPad easily and its chunky legs allow it to stand upright so kids can watch their shows. The case doesn’t protect the front, so you still run the risk of breaking the glass screen, but when I say nearly indestructible, I mean it. We’ve had ours for about 3 years and in that time, our iPad Mini in the iGuy case has been dropped on tile floors, pavement, and in the gate area of several airports (not to mention on the floors of the airplanes themselves!). Bonus: the case protects the device even while packed in your carry on, so you don’t need a separate padded case. It can be removed and washed with soap and warm water because, well… you know, sticky toddler hands. Cost: $29.95
Every kid’s tablet needs a pair of good but protective headphones. And every parent needs a pair that the child will actually wear. LilGadgets Connect+ Premium headphones are lightweight, foldable, and compact, featuring SharePort technology that allows you to connect multiple headphones to one device, no splitters needed. They’re also comfortable, have a volume control, and come in a variety of fun colors. Cost: $17.95
Getting little kids comfy enough to sleep on a long-haul redeye in coach can be quite the challenge. I can’t tell you how many flights that I’ve had with my daughter stretched out all over me, leaving me sleepless and my limbs numb. So on our last flight from New York to Dublin, we packed the 1st Class Kid Travel Pillow in our carry-on. Designed to allow young children to spread out and lie down (without lying on you), this inflatable, block-shaped pillow sits on the floor of the airplane between your seat and the seat back in front of you. It’s a really great invention – one that I wish I had owned when my daughter was about 1 to 3 years old. But she’s nearly 4 now and very tall, so it wasn’t ideal. However, she was able to lie her head on the pillow and body on the seat curled up, so she could sleep. On our return flight in a bulkhead seat, she used the pillow as an ottoman, so she was nice and comfy as she watched her movies.
This would definitely be more comfortable for younger, smaller children, and I highly recommend it if you’re taking a long flight with little ones. It takes up very little space in your carry-on and is easy to inflate; just hold it up to the air vent above your seat, and it does the work for you (sparing you embarrassment and hyperventilation!). Bonus? This genius invention also keeps little legs from kicking the seat in front of them; with the pillow in the way, they can’t swing their legs! Cost: $22.50
If your travels involve using your phone’s GPS or Waze, then you want your phone where you can see it – not in your lap. That’s where this guy comes in handy. The Chargeworx smartphone mount is magnetized and fits in the air vents of any car’s dashboard. Shove it in the vent, stick your phone to the magnet, and voila – a safer and less illegal way to navigate. Cost: $21.74. We've also seen it at LotLess for less than $10.
Come on, fess up. How many times have you been at baggage drop with that sinking feeling as you wait in line - that feeling of dread that washes over you as you lift your bag onto the scales, praying it's not overweight and you’re not going to be charged a fee or worse, forced to unpack a few pound’s worth of stuff in front of everyone and their mother at the airport. That’s why there’s this little do-dad. It’s a multi-function travel tool: a scale, a flashlight, and a handy USB power cell for charging up your phone. Again, boring and utilitarian, but it's a major sanity-saver.
If you want to stay warm on the airplane but don’t want to waste space in your carry-on with a big, bulky blanket, pack this. The Cocoon CoolMax travel blanket is made from lightweight, t-shirt-like material that packs well. Stow it in its own sack, which it’s about the size of a grande Starbucks cup. Unfold it, and it offers surprisingly warmth. Cost: $35.95
KidTripster Tip: Buy it in black, like I did, and it does double duty as a wrap. I actually wore it out to dinner one night and got a compliment on it!
Editor's Note: I once unwrapped one of those airplane blankets packaged in plastic to find... vomit. Yes, vomit! Proof that the blankets don't get washed! Bring your own!

Read Part One of My Journey Part One
Part Two of My Journey:
So maybe it’s an empath connection, I thought to myself. I search the web for any information on empath connections. I came across a couple of articles that talked about cutting cords, dealing with empath connection. Now the weekend is almost near and it’s wearing on me. That the fact I have this connection with this man who is married. I read all the articles on cutting cords and picked the one that sound the easiest. Truly that’s how I made my choice as to how I was going to solve this problem. At the time I felt like that but soon after my tone change. So I visualize the two of us walking towards each other along a bridge. We stand in front of each other and I start to tell him how much I love him. I wanted to take that back but it was true. I was in love with this person that I barely knew. I tell him how we can’t be connected like this it’s not healthy. Tears slowly running down my face and I proceed to cut his cord. The look on his face killed me and the tears came down faster. I can’t stop crying, I tell him to go back to his family and he just stand there with that look on his face. I’m still crying and it feels like I’m having a heart attack. This would go on for three days and my boyfriend is asking me wants’ wrong and I can’t say. I go back to the drawing board and start searching again, mean while everybody is wondering what’s going on. I’m hurting and I don’t know what’s going on my search kept leading me to articles about Soul Mates. I still didn’t believe it because the flash of blue light. So I kept searching and started coming across Twin Flame. I ran across a couple of people, who describe the flash of blue light. It started to make sense to me, how my attraction was different from others in the past. It was nothing lustful from this attraction. I ‘m not saying his not eye candy but the ring and age is a no go. It was different with him I don’t care about those superficial things. I felt like we were supposed to do something, I could not put my finger on it. I had this feeling we would know each other for a long time. One little problem, all types of things start to pop up that did not bother me before. Now it seem like I was so sensitive to everything. I went into hiding and got into therapy quick. This coming from a control freak, I would have fixed the problem. The old me would have solve this problem. That's just it I had nothing to compare this to and I was loosing it. My ideal of the one probably had a-lot to do with my ego. This caught me off guard and change my life forever. It was like as soon as I met this person , my very being was stripped away. My belief system is not the same and it change at a drop of a dime. Which in the past , this would be an issue for me. I'm set in my ways and it's hard for me to change. This is not the case at all for me now; the universe speaks all the time. I just listen and go with the flow. So now that I know we have this Twin Flame connection. I go through this stage of being ashamed of feeling this way for this person or how this could be. That's EGO and a big way and their is no room. Weeks would go by before I would decide to tell him my theory. I think to myself he would be open minded and know I would do nothing to come between his marriage.

Back to the purpose of government, and why Christians can confidently participate in good governance without violating the autonomy of non-Christians. In the God Talk 2 series I have been working on here on Facebook, I have been examining Romans, and what says about the purpose of the law. There is a strong misconception in the general populace regarding Christian belief when it comes to the law according to the Bible and to sin. This misconception has bled over into the area of politics by redefining the purpose of the Bible as nothing more than a rulebook for people who follow the Christian faith.
There are two main schools of thought regarding the Bible, and biblical law. One side views the Bible as an archaic book put in place to cause people to fear the punishment of hell in order to keep them in line here on earth. This view tends to be preached in “fundamental” churches, and it is the one generally held by those who are atheist, agnostic, or of non-Christian religious faiths when discussing any non-“liberal” tenets of the church. It focuses on the Old Testament and Revelation style fire and brimstone messages in Scripture and often skips right over the message of salvation offered in Christ.
The second school of thought views Biblical law as over-ridden by salvation by grace. It sees the New Covenant with Christ as a means by which we are no longer bound by the rules laid down in the Bible. It advocates free will, and typically leans toward an acceptance of sin as inherent in humanity. The strong theme of this view is that since God loves us right where we are and the crucifixion washes clean all sins, all things become permissible. This view tends to be preached in the “liberal” churches, and is one advocated as correct by those who are atheists, agnostics or of non-Christian religious faiths. It tends to focus on love and accepting everyone, everything, and every ideology. It skips right over the words of Christ that say He is the only way to God, and that to follow Him we must become holy.
Neither of these pictures of Christianity is accurate from a Biblical standpoint, and both of them give cause for concern to Christians who believe in the First amendment. As American’s we value the right to freely express our faith and we recognize that this requires us to allow the free expression of those who disagree with us. We recognize that Christianity is not something we can impose on those unwilling to accept it. Yet we also recognize the danger of removing a coherent moral foundation from those laws the people of this country allow to be created. We are left in a quandary of how to maintain order in society to the benefit of everyone, without imposing “fundamentalist Christianity” through an abuse of the power of government.
These two dichotomous views can be reconciled by taking the time to understand God’s purpose in giving us the Bible. Christ told us in the New Testament both that He came to save the world and not condemn it, and that not one letter of the law would change until the earth passed away. Since God is a logical God, and He does not contradict Himself, we must assume that the purpose of the law in the Bible was not to condemn the world in sin, so what was the purpose? There are hints at that purpose throughout the Bible, but perhaps none more clearly stated than in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” God spoke this to a people conquered and enslaved by their enemies. It is contained within a letter to the people of Israel in captivity to Babylon filled with instructions on how to live while they are in captivity. This particular line is an explanation of why God wants them to live out those instructions, and it pretty much sums up the state of humanity. God has a plan, we cannot see the plan, but His plan is to prosper not to harm us, to give us hope and a future, but we have to follow His instruction.
The New Testament speaks of the law of God being applicable to all human beings, not just to those who believe in God, or those who believe in Christ. It tells Christians that He is the only God, and He is the God of all. The whole of the Bible also speaks to the fact that God is God, all powerful, with nothing beyond His capability. If the Old Testament speaks primarily to the Jews, and God tells them repeatedly through the judges and the prophets that it is His desire to prosper them, but they have to follow His rules for that to happen. If the New Testament speaks to all the people, and tells us that God desires to prosper us, but we have to follow His rules for that to happen. In addition, the entirety of the Bible tells us He is all-powerful, it would seem that the need to follow rules is to make those plans easier for us, not for Him.
This makes sense if we believe that God is a logical God, and that His logic does not change based on whether or not we understand it. We see this in the progress of science over the centuries. God created the entirety of the universe. He made each thing to function in precisely the way it needed to for the whole to achieve His ultimate purpose. Thus, the earth is round, it revolves around the sun at a set distance, and gravity holds everything in place upon it. Mankind once believed the earth was flat, that it was the center of the universe and gravity was an unknown word.
When men believed the earth was flat it did not make it so, any more than we would say that it suddenly became round because someone finally sailed over its edge. The sun did not revolve around the earth just because men believed that to be true, any more than we suddenly began revolving around the sun because men finally understood astronomy. Gravity did not suddenly come into existence because an apple fell on Isaac Newton’s head. These natural laws were in place long before men understood them, and will remain in place until the earth passes away.
It makes sense that there would be laws that governed human nature as well. God created us with certain inherent responses to stimuli that designed to help us fulfill His purpose us. Our understanding of the shape of the world allowed us to travel farther. Our understanding of the stars allowed for further discoveries about the universe. Our understanding of gravity allowed us to learn how to work with it to fly planes. So too, our understanding of the laws that govern humanity would seem to be a useful thing if God wished us to be prospered instead of harmed by His plans. Therefore, from the beginning, He gave us the laws. They were not laws that only applied to a certain people, anymore than revolution around the sun only applies in America. They were not laws designed to hamper mankind’s free will, any more than gravity is designed to keep men from flying. They were laws given to show the people the shape of the natural laws that were inherent in themselves to work within that framework to prosper by God’s plan instead of be harmed by it.
So, how does that apply to the issue of politics here in the US? For years now, Christians have been silent on the natural laws of human society because we find those rules in our religious text. They allowed arguments from those who have not discovered God to cloud this basic understanding of the purpose of the Bible. God is logical, immutable and unchanging. He did not give us the Bible to punish. He gave it to us as a blueprint for the most beneficial arrangement of human society to work within the framework of His creation. There is consequence to every action and every decision. That consequence can be good or bad, small or large, seen or unseen, and intended or unintended, but there will be a consequence. The creation is His whether it has come to know Him or not, and the natural laws of that creation apply equally to all of it, whether they reject Him or not. The Bible demonstrates the methods by which we as human beings can maximize good consequences and minimize bad, unintended consequences caused by not understanding the rules of human nature.
Christians need not rely on “because God said so” when they advocate for policies and practices that line up with Biblical principles and Biblical laws. They can look to the results of those policies within society and the result of breaking those rules. Inevitably, those policies that line up most closely with Biblical principle will have the best results for everyone, whether they are Christian or not. Christians can speak confidently on issues like abortion, marriage, spending, taxing, defense and any other area of governance, because they can look at the blue print of the Bible, and then point to the real world, logical application of how that blue print supports the broadest possible harmony and happiness for the human beings governed under the law.
Last, they do not have to fear setting up a theocracy, because the core tenet of Christian faith is not just that salvation is freely given, we must also be freely accept it. It is perfectly logical to make the argument that just because someone does not want to accept the salvation of their eternal soul does not mean they do not want to have the best possible environment for their prosperity and happiness in the here and now. The government’s purpose is to commend good and punish evil to provide that environment for prosperity and happiness. The citizens’ responsibility is to assure that government serves that purpose. So why would Christians feel constrained from offering the knowledge of how to facilitate that environment just because it comes from principles in a religious text?
The next segment will deal with some of the specific policies of this President and the secularism he represents, and why it is hostile to not only Christianity, but to good governance from a Christian perspective. | <urn:uuid:ddd897bd-fb66-4f31-8ce3-77d3dc90da56> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://hopeandchangeministry.org/god-in-politics-why-is-there-a-bible | 2020-09-26T12:37:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00150.warc.gz | en | 0.969975 | 2,038 |

(Note: Coach Webb who's referred to in the video at the end, is an honorary member of our class.)
Our school was definitely "old school." And we were damn proud of it. Still are.
A week ago Joyce and I met as usual on the second Tuesday of the month with my friends from the 1958 graduating class of the old school.
The monthly class dinner is always lots of fun and last night was no exception. People seemed happy and full of energy. There were smiles aplenty, laughter, glasses tinkling, and lots of backslapping camaraderie.
Maybe it was the warm sunny day we had that Tuesday in Middle Tennessee. Could be we were a little more energetic because we knew spring itself was only a few days away on the calendar. Or, maybe it was the fact that Peyton Manning could possibly be coming to the Titans. (Well the Manning dream died, but that's okay.)
I'm sure all that stuff helped intensify things a little, but this group is kinda special, so it wouldn't have mattered if it was 20 degrees outside with snow on the ground. If we were there the joint would have been jumping anyway.
In the language of country rock musicians, athletes, and the milkman, we bring it, man.
It's been fifty-four years now this May since we got our diplomas from Mr. Foster and walked away from the old school for the last time. That's a long time. It's a cliche I know, but it seems just like yesterday.
As I sat there and looked around at the crowd, I remembered, as I'm sure all my classmates do, the teen angst and uncertainty that we all experienced in those years, the doubts, the fears all mixed up with youthful hubris. And I also thought of how generous and confident we seem now that all those youthful wars and the other ones we fought through the years are behind us now.
Sure we had our struggles.
But we survived back then.
And, even though most of us are retired, we still survive now. Make that thrive now. We're not just "busy." We're living to the limit.
Back then, and now too, you'd have to get up pretty early in the morning to get ahead of us.

You can have situations where a 20 year old kid has been sleeping with a 16 year old neighbour they've known their whole life. 16 year old's parents find out, decide to press charges. Suddenly you have them facing the sexual assault charges and the possibility of being labelled a sexual offender for the rest of their life.
Not responding to the specifics of this thread (I can't even remember what happened). Just something that should be considered when looking at sexual relations between parties that have a (legally) significant age difference.

I wouldn't want to listen to a man singing about women's rights who treats his fiance like a piece of dirt, and his child.
just to point out, itch makes a fucking good point despite whatever shit went down in his private life, and also, you claim he's rich, the rich man standing up for the poor guys is a fucking admirable thing to do, hell of a lot of rich people dont give a toss about the poor, so even if your right which im not convinced you are, then hes doing a good thing.

+ Watch AG
on My Watchlist
I'm All In.
I don't feel there's much downside risk in silver right now. Stock may go lower near term but I think AG is an outperform long term.
Leading silver miner with finest of mgmt - easy 50% up from here with limited downside
More bullish on silver right now than gold. Although I am expecting good things from both in the coming months.
Huge production, the closing of Orko deal will propel AG to beyond $25 in the next six months.
Best and purest silver producer in the world.
Solid Properties with proven reserves will allow alot of appreciation even if silver doesn't move up in price which it most certainly will with the global economy in the condition it is in.
with governments printing money like never before and no end in sight,its hard to imagine silver prices staying at these levels.
I can't think of anything.
Long on silver.
Flight to dollars and bonds now will not continue, especially when inflation fears return. This is a time to accumulate silver stocks.
I think it is important to have a silver stock. I have resisted the temptation, but I have decided it is a good defensive move for now. Their last earnings report was excellent. I don't see silver going down anytime soon.
If silver stays where it's at or continues to increase, the value of the peso against the dollar remains relatively stable and the companies silver production forecasts over the next several years are anywhere close to accurate, this stock is going to win big.
My thesis is that silver will not remain below $30/oz for long in the coming months, if at all, and that volatility will continue. I would not encourage anyone to invest in silver itself in this environment. However, young primary silver miners are something else completely. As long as the price of silver remains safely above production costs, silver mines have incentive to reopen, and exploration companies are motivated to look for new potential mineable areas.Even if silver does drop under $30 for an extended period of time, the increasing production of many primary silver miners and silver explorers/soon-to-be producers will far outweigh the drop in silver price in terms of earnings. Looking out 12 months and beyond, even in a protracted environment of, say, $20-25 silver, many explorers/young producers will easily mitigate that potential drop in silver price with their growing production, and share prices will follow suit upwards. I'm giving a Fool's thumb up to several silver miners, b/c I believe that silver will trade above $35 later this year, and will rise over time from there. However (full disclosure), I am personally invested only in the following, due in part to their extreme production growth potential (and many of them have quite low production costs, too):Currently Producing:*Silvermex*Alexco*AurcanaNot Yet Producing:*South American Silver*Wildcat Silver*Sabina*Bear CreekAlways do your DD, and don't forget to have fun. Fool on!
CME Group's blatant market manipulation has created a window of opportunity for those that were late to this bull run. This isn't an asset bubble popping, this is a healthy correction. Silver will still likely hit $60 by the end of the year. Mainstream news is citing that George Soros and others have "sold their gold and silver." Truth is, they only sold their PAPER silver in anticipation of this steep market correction. My guess is that these investors are reinvesting all of those paper profits into PHYSICAL as well as the paper they recently sold.The entire silver market screams of manipulation. The CME group raised margin requirements in order to lower volatility...yeah right, and in doing so, created even more.As bad as this downward move has been, watch for a pretty steady rise back up once the dust settles.Everyone is saying that QE3 won't happen, but reality is, it has to. The labor market is already struggling despite QE2 still in effect. The stock market has shown recent weakness as well. As soon as QE2 and 2.5 expire, watch for non-PM/commodity related stocks to drop. The market as a whole may decline 10+ percent. This will be the excuse Bernanke needs to announce QE3 and keep interest rates low.Long AG, SLW, EXK, and PAAS.
Attractive price, will go higher
Volatile, but if you hold the longview in mind you should be fine.

Working with rounds is a lot different than working with square timbers. Layout is completely different: working off of chalk lines and carving the rounds down to square posts at the joinery took a lot longer than just working with square timbers.
Making the braces was a challenge in precision – getting the square part carved perfectly to fit the housing and then adding 45 degree cuts in the end really gave me a challenge! I cut all of the log joinery using a chainsaw to rough out the joints and then cleaned them up with an angle grinder fitted with a sanding disk.
The customer really liked the round look, so we used round logs for the posts and braces to give the house an open concept log home feel. However, since the square beams were faster to layout and cut, the hybrid of both square with round was the solution we came up with to work within budget.
This home will be an off-grid straw bale home, with clay plaster.
The wonderful folks at Mandala Homes asked me to help out with some timber accent details for a home that is being pre-fabricated in Nelson, BC and then shipped and assembled in Hawaii.
The cloudlift design cut into the ends of these timbers is based on Greene and Greene architectural design. I cut them using a carving bar on my chainsaw – the same bar used when carving chainsaw sculptures. Using the chainsaw to cut these kind of details is my favorite way to do it! Years ago I couldn’t afford to buy a dedicated portable bandsaw for this task so I taught myself how to carve these details with a chainsaw. These timbers will be beams in the project going to Hawaii, and as you see in the photo, they are ready to be sanded and finished.
Greene and Greene were two brothers who created a very unique style of architecture in building residential houses. The style they were later acclaimed for was used in all aspects of their buildings, from the structural elements and exterior, right down to the tiny details on the trim and furniture inside the house. The Greene and Greene style happens to be one of my favorite architectural styles to date – only slightly ousted by the Japanese and Asian styles, which actually inspired the Greenes’ look.
And yes, that is snow on the ground, since it’s still winter in the West Kootenays. I was hoping Mandala might ask me to personally accompany these timbers to Hawaii…. But I’ll settle for some photos when the project is done!
Recently I signed up for a blacksmithing course. I have been interested in metal working for a while now and this turned out to be the perfect opportunity to dive into this craft. I took the class in the fully equipped studio at KSA (Kootenay School of the Arts) in Nelson, BC.
The first thing I noticed and was surprised by was how easy it is to shape metal when it’s hot. I have watched movies in the past showing blacksmiths doing their thing, and I always thought they were wailing on the metal to get it to move. Not so. Once the metal is up to temperature, it’s really easy to shape it and move it. You only have about 15 seconds to work the metal until it has to go back into the forge, but you can achieve a lot with a few well-aimed hammer blows.
I am excited to explore more into the world of metal working, as I think this would be a great added skill to what I already do. From forged drawer pulls to metal brackets for my timber frames, I think this art form could add a lot of visual impact to the woodworking!
This is the hewing axe head that was used by an older gentleman to hand hew timbers for houses 30 years ago. My passion for hand tools got me excited about seeing if I could remediate this axe head, and the two day vinegar bath plus a wire brush did such an amazing job at taking off the rust. Continue reading Fancy ‘New’ Hewing Axe
Here is the old hewing axe head that I found, getting a bath in regular vinegar to remove the rust. I was super surprised with the results! Continue reading Axe Getting A Vinegar Bath
I’ve been looking around for older hand tools at antique stores and personal sales, hoping I’ll find some gems that I can use for planing or timber framing. I have some of my grandpa’s hand tools that are still in excellent condition; these older tools were made to last.
I found this head for a log hewing axe in the summer. An older gentleman was selling some of his tools, and this was from an axe that he used for timber framing homes 30 years ago. For the price tag of $10, I couldn’t resist (these axes usually run about $350 to $400 new), and I have an idea about how I can bring it back to life. Continue reading Rescued Axe Head
The owners of this new modular home wanted a timber look for their front porch, so they asked me to design and build an accent piece for their porch roof structure. They were really pleased when they saw it go up. It adds a timeless classic element, and the curves cut into the beam and the braces add a softer contrast to the straight lines of the house. Continue reading Timber Accent Porch
Okay, so it’s not carving, but I did have fun using the chain saw to create the detail work for these beams.
And I have started using an eco-friendly type of small engine gas that cuts down on exhaust emissions by an incredible amount. Running the chain saw now doesn’t stink and create a cloud of fumes. Apparently this gas is standard for small engines in Europe — and I can see why! Time for North America to catch up on this one. Check out: www.aspen.se (Select your country for English language.) Continue reading Beam Detail Done With a Chain Saw
To show something a little different at this year’s Home & Lifestyle Expo in Castlegar, British Columbia, I decided to frame a Japanese style timber pergola. The front of the frame was inspired by Japanese Torii Gates, which mark the entrance to Shinto shrines and indicate that you have entered a holy place where the spirits are more likely to hear your prayers.

- German PPI m/m at -0.3% vs. 0.0%; y/y -0.9% vs. -0.7% forecast
Not much for forex traders to work with in today’s morning London session with a near empty economic calendar; German PPI data came before the the London with little affect on currencies.
Price action remained tight until the mid-morning London session when traders started buying up euros and selling pounds, pushing the two currencies in opposing directions against the majors. There doesn’t seem to be a direct catalyst, and could be the result of the light, pre-holiday liquidity.
GBP/USD is off its highs, but still up 17 pips (+0.11%) to 1.6810 on yesterday’s positive U.K. unemployment data. And across the river, the euro is seeing some nice gains against both sterling and the Greenback:
EUR/USD is up 44 pips (+0.32%) to 1.3856, and EUR/GBP is up 18 pips (+0.22%) to .8241.
And as we saw through today’s Asia session, comdolls continue to grind lower (especially against the Swissy), a move sparked by a declining GDP read out of China yesterday:
AUD/CHF is down 53 pips (-0.64%) to .8205, and NZD/CHF is down 38 pips (-0.51%) to .8204, CAD/CHF is down 33 pips (-0.42%) to .7969
Coming up in the Thursday afternoon London session, we’ve got Initial Claims data from the U.S. at 1:30 pm GMT. Expectations are for a 315K read vs. 300K previous. At the same time as the U.S. data, we’ll get CPI data from Canada. The forecast is for the yearly reads to tick higher (headline 1.4% vs. 1.1% previous) and the monthly to tick lower (headline 0.4% vs. 0.8% previous). Inflation data is typically a tier one type event so be on the look out for volatility to rise for the Loonie.
And at 3:00 pm GMT, we’ll get the Philly Fed Survey, expected to tick higher at 10 vs. 9 previous. This report takes a look at the manufacturing conditions in the Philadelphia Federal Reserve district, and its an event with high potential of increasing volatility. Stay on your toes with your U.S. dollar trades around this time.

Pork chop Wednesdays are actually a thing at my house. Packed with flavour, protein with almost half the amount of saturated fats found in red meat. We are always trying to find ways to keep pork interesting. This was awesome, tons of flavour.. and if you’re lucky that panko crust will fall onto your arugula salad… so. good.
Why is this good food good for you?
- Pork vs. beef. To diversify our menu and to keep on track of having a heart healthy diet, we introduced pork and now have it weekly. Lean cuts of pork are better for you and have less than half the fat than beef. Pork is not only affordable to have on the regular but packs a lot of flavour and a lot of protein.
- Spice vs. sugary sauces. Use herbs and spices to make your meat taste good. Adding sauces like barbeque or ketchup adds a ton of sugar to your meal. Sugar is a major contributor to heart disease. So, spices it is, and for this dish I added some extra crunch and flavour with almonds and dijon mustard.
Good fat vs. bad fat. We stopped paying attention to “fat” in foods or ingredients. Specifically, we paid more attention to the “type” of fat in ingredients. There are foods which seem high in fat that are very good for you and even better, help fight the bad fat in your body. Guess what, nuts, specifically almonds, are a great source of the “right” fat. Just like olive oil, they are rich in monosaturated fats and help reduce cholesterol. Almonds are rich with potassium and vitamin E. It’s a great snack to have on-the-go too.
1/2 cup plain panko bread crumbs
3 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 cups arugula
1 sliced shallot
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
2 pork chops, bone in
8 Easy Steps (Instructions):
Step 1: Combine brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dry mustard, onion powder and cumin in a bowl. Generously coat the pork and let them sit.
Step 2: Preheat oven for 425.
Step 3: In another bowl, whisk together mustard and olive oil. Then add panko, parsley, thyme and almonds. If too dry, add more olive oil, if too wet, add panko. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Prepare a nonstick pan over medium high heat. Spray with cooking oil and sear both sides of the pork chops until lightly browned.
Step 6: Flip the chops and spoon the panko mixture on top and bake for another 7 minutes.
Step 7: Prepare salad by whisking oil, vinegar, salt and pepper together. Add arugula and shallots.
Step 8: To serve, place chop on plate with salad. Cut into the juicy chop and put in mouth.

CABO, the Return. Part 9
It's Day nine, the girls bought and paid for their fantasy to come true and it has. Matt has Jenni, Darling, and Jenya is the cruelest double bind of all. Darling's breasts are tied and pulled out to the necks of the other two girls stuck to a tree. If the girls do not keep their necks forward, Darling's breasts will be pulled tighter and tighter. On the other hand, Darling's spread legs and arms are tied to Jenni's and Jenya's crotch ropes. When Darling moves while being subjected to water torture, flogging, or multiple orgasms, the other two suffer with no escape. Later in the day, Sgt. Major brings back Donna and she goes swimming Hogtied style. Jenya is tied to a tree three feet off the ground and made to come over and over. However it is poor Darling who is staked out thoughout the afternoon into the evening. Oiled, spread, fingered, fucked, and made to orgasm hours and hours into the night, with no let up or break. | <urn:uuid:36c2689d-eb23-45ae-8cba-7944f493e3fc> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.kink.com/shoot/2582?aff=10326 | 2018-05-20T23:35:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863811.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20180520224904-20180521004904-00612.warc.gz | en | 0.938805 | 226 |

If you want to experience this visual delight in all its beauty, make sure to be there at the right time: depending on the time of year, the sunrays only hit the hole between 9 and 10 a.m. | <urn:uuid:9c0e9fa2-040c-4b59-bd4d-fd192a0d4772> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://indonesiatatler.com/travel/8-indonesian-sights-to-add-to-your-2019-wish-list-right-now | 2019-07-18T05:50:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525500.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718042531-20190718064531-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.93614 | 711 |
2. Karl-Anthony Towns
The Timberwolves have the best record in the Western Conference and second-best in the NBA on the morning of Jan. 2, so a teardown appears unlikely. They have important questions to answer, though. Minnesota has $185 million in committed salaries for the 2024-25 season without Mike Conley, Kyle Anderson, and Jordan McLaughlin on their books. The Wolves need to add a point guard and will likely be over the second tax apron afterward. Are their new owners willing to spend that much?
Anthony Edwards is the team’s best player, and they are not recouping the value they paid for Rudy Gobert. That leaves Towns as the most likely Wolves star to be traded if they decide to lessen their tax bill. KAT is an elite scorer and shooter who starts a four-year $222.6 million extension in the 2024-25 campaign.
Putting Towns next to Myles Turner may not be ideal, but the Timberwolves are making it work with Gobert and KAT. The three-time All-Star struggles to protect the rim and is a career 39.6 percent 3-point shooter. He can operate more on the perimeter and gives the Pacers a bit more versatility in how they use Turner.
Head coach Rick Carlisle loves to shoot threes and stretch the floor. Karl-Anthony Towns is one of the best shooting big men in NBA history, which could form a fantastic pairing if Minnesota decides to move on. Consider it unlikely, but possible. | <urn:uuid:9a51f3f9-ed41-46fd-a946-910261bc7f63> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://8points9seconds.com/posts/indiana-pacers-trade-targets-miles-better-pascal-siakam/4 | 2024-02-24T09:59:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474526.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20240224080616-20240224110616-00203.warc.gz | en | 0.944347 | 310 |

Jamal Bryant is hosting a Tuesday night featuring “Conversations” with Dennis Meredith of Atlanta. Its interesting that this flier gives no indication of what the “conversation” is going to be about. If you didn’t know that Dennis Meredith is a backslidden inclusionist who divorced his wife and became a homosexual, you would think this was about what type of suit and tie to wear for Sunday morning service.
Curiously, Bryant also has Brenda Burton there. Burton shared her testimony of overcoming lesbianism on last year’s Lexi Show. Will she really have a voice or is she a prop?

While each business owner has traits that are unique, there are essential traits all entrepreneurs must have in order to be successful.
This article will address 11 key characteristics that are essential for entrepreneurs to have in order to be successful. Some may seem like common sense but don’t let that fool you into thinking you know their value.
Confidence is not something we’re born with, it’s something we develop over time. The truly successful entrepreneurs are able to act confidently, even when they may not feel particularly confident because they have a strong self-esteem and complete faith in their ability to work through challenges and successfully solve problems. They also have one common desire: to grow their business and to see positive results.
Sense of Ownership
Effective entrepreneurs are not blamers. They take ownership for solving problems which they may have created. Most problems are created when proper systems are not put into place, and we’ll discuss that a little later in the article. A sense of ownership requires that business owners view challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. Control, then, becomes obsolete as these open-minded entrepreneurs accept responsibility and are accountable for their actions (or lack of action), and work with their team to rise above challenges with a goal of “everyone’s success”, and not just focusing on their own.
The bridge to success is communication. It doesn’t matter if it’s written, spoken or non-verbal; it’s always huge. Successful entrepreneurs develop a keen ability to listen, process, and take action.
How do you learn? Do you seek information? Ask questions? Read? Research? Chances are you do some or all of those, making you an “autodidactic” learner. Successful entrepreneurs are quick to learn from mistakes and surround themselves with people who know more than they do in related areas.
Team Builders and Players
Business owners must master strong team building skills or else become enslaved to their businesses. No successful business owner shoulders the whole burden of the company and therefore will never advance up the ladder of entrepreneurship. Successful business owners master the art of team building.
Systems and Processes
Leveraging good systems allows business owners greater results with less exertion. Contrary to popular belief, it’s important to rely on effective systems before one relies on people. Successful entrepreneurs realize that implementing system-based solutions tops relying on people. Once effective systems and processes are put into place, the team will be more efficient. Routine problems are not people problems, but system-based problems.
Enterprising entrepreneurs are dedicated to creating clear visions and mission statements, making it easy for their team to jump on board and stay on track.
Full of Gratitude
Gratitude doesn’t get enough attention. Successful entrepreneurs never take anything for granted and take pleasure not in material things, but with the pleasure that comes from accomplishment and contribution.
Successful business owners understand that setbacks are part of life and remain steadfastly faithful to their vision, their mission, and their commitment to be the company they can be proud of. They don’t give in to fear but face it with tenacity, courage, and faith.
Successful entrepreneurs know that excitement is contagious and that they need to maintain enthusiasm about their product, service, team, and ideas. They promote a fun-loving, productive environment both on and off the job.
Lead by Example
True leaders are skilled at recognizing the strengths and yes, even weaknesses of themselves and their team, and offer appreciation, support, rewards, and encouragement. They put training programs in place to better their team and gain power and respect by empowering and respecting their team. | <urn:uuid:8ae7213c-c342-4ebf-8703-d21a3681b547> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://due.com/blog/11-essential-traits-truly-successful-entrepreneurs/ | 2022-12-02T13:57:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710902.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20221202114800-20221202144800-00366.warc.gz | en | 0.964013 | 793 |
Wow, day 1 complete, and what a day it was! All the co-workers woke up early and frantically cleaned the house before the students arrived. 5 people cleaning a humongous house in one hour was quite a challenge, but we completed it just in time! And then the fun began..
We have not been told any of the diagnosis of the students and I don't think we will ever be told either. Soltane doesn't want to label the students/residents with their disabilities, I think that's a really awesome thing. So, here's a bit about each student that lives in my house.
Ted was the first student arrive. Ted loves, LOVES, to listen to music. He sat in his room for quite a few hours just listening to his CD's. His birthday is coming up this week, and his parents brought this huge balloon that sings a song if you hit it, it's pretty cool.
<- Ted peeling potatoes!
Sonia was the next student to arrive, she's a post-grad. That means that she graduated from the 5-year living for life program and now works off campus a few times a week. Sonia's birthday is coming up, we have lots of birthdays this week!
Lenny got dropped off by his mom after Sonia arrived. I had previously met Lenny on Friday, he came and moved in his things early. He's a really sweet guy is always smiling. Lenny has a knack for the date. He has many calenders and clocks in his room so he always knows that time, day, month, and year it is. It's his responsibility to change the date on the kitchen calender for everyone to see. He was really excited to be back at college, he kept saying 'buh-bye momma, buh-bye!'
Alyssa arrived with her dad before the parent meeting. Alyssa is a few weeks younger than I am. The thing Alyssa loves most, besides the color pink, is her birthday. It's in April but she basically celebrates it year-round. She's already planning her next birthday. She found out that Brian and I are engaged and ever so politely informed me that she was to be a bridesmaid and hold flowers. Ok, Alyssa, whatever you say!
Alyssa peeling potatoes for dinner! -->
Jeff was the last student in our house to arrive! He is a post-grad along with Sonia and Ted. Jeff likes to hang out with the guys! He also enjoys mowing the lawn and painting. I haven't seen it yet, but I hear Jeff is an awesome skier! He is a member of the Special Olympics Ski Team!
I don't have pictures of everyone yet, but I will soon so you'll be able to put a face with a name! So, this is my crew for the year! It's going to be a ton of fun! Today we went to the movies and saw Madagascar 3! Afro Circus! I'll update after we have all of our birthday parties this week! :) Classes start Tuesday, wish us all luck!
** A few quotes **
(At the pool)
CB: Hey Ted.. wanna go on a date with me?
CB: Ted, I'm flirting with you.
(At the parent meeting on Saturday morning)
Benji: (stands) Hi, my name is Benji and I'm really nervous. I also think it's weird that we're starting on a Saturday. (sits)
Thanks for checking in!

"I honestly think she went out with me only because I asked, not because she was interested in any way. She was way, way, way too good looking for me."
You have a confidence problem man
Damn, and I thought I sometimes over think things..you got it bad my friend. I didn't read everything, but just fvcking ask her out, you get shot down, move on. With that said, facebook messaging her, if that's your only resort and you really want it, just go for it, who cares? If she doesn't respond, nothing changes.

One of the most crucial concerns you must address when purchasing or selling a sign company is how much the business is worth. Valuing a sign firm can be complex and entail many different variables. So, How do you value a sign company? This post will examine a few essential things to consider when determining a sign company’s worth.
Income: Income is essential for determining how much to value a sign firm. A company’s value is more likely to increase with increased revenue. However, a lot of different aspects may impact the company’s worth. Therefore it’s crucial to look beyond the simple sales figures.
Earnings: When evaluating a sign firm, earnings are an additional vital factor. Earnings are the earnings that a business makes after all costs have been paid. Therefore, a company’s value is expected to increase as its earnings increase.
Assets: A sign company’s assets affect its overall value. Equipment, stockpiles, intellectual property, and real estate are all examples of assets.
Client Base: While evaluating a sign company, it is crucial to consider its customer base. A corporation with a sizable, devoted customer base is probably worth more than a less loyal or smaller clientele.
Competition is a crucial aspect to consider when estimating a significant firm’s worth. A company that competes in a market with fierce competition might not be as valuable as a company that does not.
Industry Trends: The value of a sign company may be impacted by industry trends. A business that is well-positioned to benefit from existing or potential developments in the sign business may be worth more than one that is not.
Understanding a sign company’s value is essential for making informed decisions and ensuring a smooth transaction, whether you’re buying or selling one.

THERE are two sets of pictures right-wing newspapers print when they're out to portray our unions as the earthly representatives of Satan plc.
If they want to show that the TUC's agenda is to turn Britain into a grim, communist state run by a proletarian mafia, they use a snarling, sheep-skinned Derek Hatton surrounded by comrades with "calm-down" moustaches fanatically applauding his every slogan, under the headline "Nightmare On Militant Street (II)".
If they want to prove Labour is incapable of stemming this evil red tide, they show mountains of rubbish and corpses under the headline "Winter Of Discontent (II)".
This time it's the Militant nightmare, initially inspired by railway workers delaying London commuters from reaching their desks on time and whipped up with zeal by Tony Blair, desperate to distract attention from his shocking record on public services.
A few years ago, he described the people who carry out our most essential duties as "scars on his back".
Now, despite his hollow denials, he calls them "wreckers" - which is more laughable than his Third Way missionary tour of Africa, otherwise known as Bland Aid. How can the workers in our schools, hospitals and railways be called wreckers when there is nothing to wreck but chaos?
How can they halt progress, when in Labour's first four years in power less of the nation's wealth was invested in those sectors than by any postwar government?
The people he now kicks are the same underpaid, under-motivated people who endure the brunt of the abuse from a tax-paying public sickened by the third-rate treatment they are forced to deliver.
Look at the NHS. We have half as many doctors per thousand people as our EU neighbours.
We are recruiting medical staff from Spain while sending our patients to France.
Look at the railways. Railtrack ran up billions of pounds' worth of debts and plunged the entire rail system into anarchy, and yet directors walked away with millions of pounds in bonuses.
Look at the crippling teacher shortage. What was Amy Gehring, the Canadian teacher accused of having sex with pupils at two state schools, doing there in the first place? She had never taught in a classroom before she came to Britain. Yet so desperate are our schools for ANY teachers that we allow money-grabbing private agencies to send them people who they know are unfit to teach.
Crime soars, so instead of listening to the Police Federation, Blair appoints John Birt, a businessman pal with no experience in the field, to "think the unthinkable". And when, after six months, he thinks the unworkable, he is shuffled into another highly-paid post.
The main reason our public services are a sham is that not enough of us want our lives wrecked by working in them. Because successive governments have given those who work in our schools and hospitals nothing but insults. Which is precisely what Blair does now.
But who has really let his Labour government down? The unions who accepted Blair's first-term decision to stick to Tory spending plans, while bankrolling the next election victory?
Or the Fat Cat directors he allowed record bonuses to, the Bernie Ecclestones, Dome enthusiasts and the Enrons of this world whom he sucked up to for cash?
Blair is in awe of well-spoken men in pin-striped suits. He instinctively trusts them more than the less-articulate working class, because at heart he is one of them.
It's why he wouldn't call multi-millionare James Dyson a wrecker for throwing 800 workers on the dole so he can pay lower wages in Malaysia, but he will use the word to describe a railway worker after a better wage.
If Blair continues to slyly soften up the electorate by blaming the unions for his own abysmal public sector failures, all that will be wrecked is his government's credibility.
And the only people he will please are those who profit from peddling lies about nightmares on Militant Street. | <urn:uuid:b5fc07b2-eb9a-4df1-82e2-7170eb9943d3> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/nightblair-on-militant-street-535276 | 2017-02-22T21:25:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171043.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00563-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970949 | 832 |

The exercises for practical life
are designed to teach the child to function in his own environment
by teaching him how to cope with the things around him. The daily
functions of our home are routine and simple to us, but they are
new and exciting for the child. In this zone the child learns
how to look after himself and its belongings.
Sensorial exercises are concerned
with the development and refinement of the senses, thereby sharpening
the child's intellect and control and preparing him for the more
advanced exercises. Here the child develops the senses of sight,
touch, taste, smell, sound, and also has an opportunity to train
in distinction of temperatures, to feel a difference in weight
of subjects, and certainly to develop his muscular memory.
Reading and writing go hand in hand
and the early work with the Montessori sensorial materials prepares
the child for the introduction to both. Through the development
of the senses of touch, sight and sound the child has refined
his movement of hand and fingers and prepared to handle pencil.
Using sandpaper letters the child learns to recognize the letter
by sight and touch as well as by hearing each letter spoken. Through
the movable alphabet he acquires a familiarity with the alphabet
and sees how letters are put together to form words.
Sensorial training is of great importance in learning
of arithmetic. Exercises with sensorial materials teach the child
to think logically and precisely, so he can easily interpret familiar
concepts to mathematical terms. Arithmetic development goes very
naturally: the child simply lives in the prepared environment penetrated
with mathematics. The zone of arithmetic development contains all
necessary materials that teach the child operations of addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division, to help him to master
decimal system school.
This zone allows the child to systematize his knowledge
of the environment by studying the basics of physics, botany, geography,
anatomy and other natural-science disciplines. To realize his place
and mission in the world. | <urn:uuid:d9d1806c-cc2d-49b2-be89-1414e0a1f13f> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | http://montessori.magichild.ru/montessori/ambqjn_e.htm | 2018-04-25T23:44:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125948029.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20180425232612-20180426012612-00526.warc.gz | en | 0.935527 | 428 |

QC American Welcomes Division Manager
Ross Wegryn-Jones was appointed vice president and division manager for QC American, a division of American Broach and Machine Company based in Ypsilanti, MI. He has over 17 years of experience in the machine tool, tooling and workholding fields in sales, marketing and project management capacities.
Wegryn-Jones previously was the owner of RJR Machine Tools, LLC, which served as a machine tool dealer, agent and cutting tool distributor in Michigan, primarily in the high production automotive and truck components manufacturing industry.
Starting in 2004, he maintained his position with RJR Machine Tools while simultaneously serving as national sales and marketing manager of Advent Tool and Manufacturing of Lake Bluff, IL. "I was integral to the formation of a new division wholly owned by Advent Tool named TMFM, LLC, which earned a patent and essentially created a process of spline milling on a vertical machining center," Wegryn-Jones says. "I quite literally wrote the book (as prescribed by engineers of course)."
December 1, 2009, he left both RJR Machine Tools and Advent Tool to work with QC American.
Prior to 2001, he worked for two other companies since 1991. These were in the independent industrial manufacturer's representative field, handling multiple product lines, including machine tools, workholding, cutting tools, metrology and toolholders.
Wegryn-Jones has a bachelor's degree from Michigan State University and a master's in business administration from Western Michigan University. | <urn:uuid:81a7b843-2b21-4a0b-a83e-d8d9cdd5da97> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.geartechnology.com/news/2171/QC_American_Welcomes_Division_Manager/ | 2016-05-04T08:03:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860122533.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161522-00119-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962332 | 311 |
The Western Montana Incident Management Team released an air quality summary this morning based on the portable air quality monitor that was installed in the Dubois area yesterday (Sunday, July 24).
The report states: "This morning, communities around the Lava Mountain Fire will have smoke from overnight settling in the valley areas. Concentrations reached a hazardous level for several hours in the early morning adjacent to the fire along the Hwy 26 corridor. A reduction in concentration is expected to occur during the afternoon hours as the smoke disperses across the Wind River Valley. While concentrations will reduce, the area of impact will broaden. Expect smoke in all communities in the Wind River Valley by the afternoon hours. Smoke from the Cliff Creek Fire is forecast to contribute to the smoke in the valley."
The report also states, "Tomorrow (Tuesday, July 26) high concentrations of smoke is forecast for the Dubois area during the overnight hours as smoke pools in the Hwy 26 corridor. Smoke concentrations may be in greater concentrations if Monday’s drier and winder weather increased fire activity."
Below is a map showing areas of heaviest smoke as of Monday morning. The darkest red indicates the highest concentrations. h/t InciWeb.

Roofing material affects water quality in RWH systems
For the past few years, one of the most common questions facing the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) hasn't been over contentious water rights or proposed water projects; it's been from homeowners wanting to know what type of roofing material is most suitable for collecting rainwater for indoor domestic use.
"Rainwater harvesting is becoming fairly widespread, at least in Central Texas. There's interest born out of necessity because people are simply running out of water in rural areas or they're interested in conserving water supplies and it's good for the environment," said Dr. Sanjeev Kalaswad, the TWDB's rainwater harvesting coordinator.
But when it came to responding to residents' questions about which roof collection surfaces are best suited for rainwater harvesting, TWDB didn't have a good, science-based answer to give, Kalaswad said. That's when the Cockrell School of Engineering came in to help.
With funding from TWDB, Cockrell School faculty and students conducted an in-depth study - recently published in the academic journal Water Research - examining the effects of conventional and alternative roofing materials on the quality of harvested rainwater. The study, led by civil, architectural and environmental engineering Assistant Professor Mary Jo Kirisits, showed that, of the five roofing materials tested, metal (specifically Galvalume®), concrete tile and cool roofs produce the highest harvested rainwater quality for indoor domestic use. The study also showed that rainwater from asphalt fiberglass shingle roofs and increasingly popular "green" roofs contain high levels of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Although other potential pollutants can be significantly lower on green roofs (turbidity and aluminum), the high DOCs are significant where these roofs would be used for potable rainwater collection.
Water with DOC is not necessarily dangerous on its own, but Kirisits said when it's mixed with chlorine – a common product used to disinfect water – the two substances react to form byproducts that potentially cause cancer and other negative human health effects.
"Someone who already has a rainwater system is probably not going to change their roofing material based on this study, but this information is useful for anyone who's trying to make an informed decision about what material to use," Kirisits said. | <urn:uuid:5145ad32-0bf0-4661-92bd-794be9a5ed90> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | https://www.rainwatersolutions.com/blogs/news/2819912-roofing-material-affects-water-quality-in-rwh-systems | 2017-04-29T17:35:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917123549.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031203-00251-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96016 | 475 |

Just wondering if any investors have used creative financing options for their current personal residence or do you go the traditional route and just get a mortgage ? Specifically land contracts, lease options, or owner financing.
great question. I've been buying houses for over 10 years. I honestly feel the best way to buy is Subject to. I own my owner occ subject to. And my best deals come subject to. This way the mortgage payment never shows up on my credit report. Subject to is simply buying the house from the seller, and keeping the loan in their name... The next best is owner financing, and yes they are out there... If you believe they are. If this info helps you in any way, pls vote for this post....
First house I bought was owner financed. It was a free and clear house owned by an elderly woman. Bought it off the MLS.
Personally I find subject to too risky for my risk tolerance.
@Kris Haskins have you ever had the mortgage company call the note due?
Subject to is very interesting & a potental money maker but the risks scare me. What has been your experience in last 10 years of buying homes this way?
I've seen @Jon holdman all over this site, seems to be knowledgeable. Perhaps he could share some personal experiences on the sub to pit falls. As for me, I've personally had a seller call the bank and tell them the house was sold to me. The bank then called me and asked me if I wanted to change my payment date. I'm sure there are bad stories, and I'd love to hear them, only from personal experience and not theory. My mentor has been doing this since the 1908's and he's not had 1 loan called. hence the reason I do it..
Interesting. @Kris Haskins
Im going to have to look into sub2 a little deeper. Are you typically paying sellers cash at closing? If so how much?
You mean buying your personal residence, right? I would stay away from Land Contracts / Contracts for Deed where title isn't in your name. Personally, I made sure we had a down payment and reserves before buying our own house so we went conventional. In my area, I have found very few homeowners with homes I would want to occupy being open to carrying financing but I suppose they are out there! With our first house, the house and it's location was more important than finding creative financing.
@Steve Vaughan thanks for the insight I do mean buying a residence for me and my family to live in. The current house we paid cash for it was a foreclosure but our family unexpectedly expanded and we're looking to upgrade sometime next year.
@Kris Haskins I like the thought of the mortgage never being on my credit report.
@Jon Holdman what type of a down payment is usually required for owner financing in your experience ?
@Cierra Seay its whatever you negotiate. IIRC, we put down about $3,000 on a $55,000 house with a 15 year fully amortized note.
IMHO anyone's past experience on subject to deals is not a good indicator for the future. Notes being called is unlikely. But it does happen. I attended a local seminar a few months ago and one speaker asked the crowd if anyone knew of a note being called. Several people out of a few hundred raised their hands. That's still a limited sample, but better than just one person. There was a lengthy post some time back where @Dion DePaoli listed several reasons why banks might call these even if the payments are being made. If you're going to do this, be sure you have a backup plan in case you're one of the 1% (just a guess) that does get the loan called.
I'm also concerned that if interest rates do rise lenders will start looking for these loans and calling to get their low return money back.
A bigger risk, IMHO, is insurance. Not the lender finding out about you from insurance. Rather getting a claim paid. I had a claim after our killer storms last year. Notwithstanding the hassles of dealing with the insurance company was the HUGE hassle getting the checks cashed. I have both a first and a HELOC on this house and checks were made out to me, my wife, and both lenders. I ended up with three checks, one for cash value, one for depreciated value since the work was being done, and a final one for the permit fees. Both lenders had a different process for all three checks. Navigating these processes, providing all the paperwork and getting all the endorsements was a complicated and time consuming process. I have trouble believing you will be able to pull this off on a subject to deal without having the original borrower involved.
OTOH, I have a landlord friend who also had claims from that storm and, for at least one of his houses, they insurance company just wrote him a check.
@Jon Holdman thank you for your insight. We're just trying to find other ways of purchasing a home currently working on getting credit to excellent status now but I just don't like dealing with banks. The only way I would do it is if I did an FHA203K which I'm strongly considering.

I’m excited to write this fourth and final post about our November trip to Nicaragua. I’ve had people ask me, “Why Nicaragua? Why now?” These questions can best be answered by my previous posts, but here’s the short answer: In November 2015, we agreed to sponsor a child through a partnership between our church and Compassion International, and this trip offered us an opportunity to meet her. At this point, I’m going to assume you are somewhat familiar with the backstory. I will skip ahead and share the details surrounding this special day.
Compassion partners with churches around the globe, establishing child development centers to serve families in the poorest areas. Currently, 43,500 children participate in more than 150 centers in Nicaragua. Staff members from this organization joined us one evening at Amigos for Christ and outlined realistic expectations for the visit. Our sponsor children would travel to a central Compassion location to meet us, and they would be accompanied by a family member and/or a representative from his or her local center. For some children, this may be the first time they leave their small communities. Often, the trip could take hours due to poor roads and slow-moving traffic stuck behind construction crews, bikes, or herds of cows on their way to another field. All factors considered, the travel alone could be overwhelming. While we may have envisioned the excitement of Christmas morning upon introduction to our sponsor child, the child may be reserved and frightened. Conversation might be awkward. They assured us each child would have a translator who is trained to guide the interaction in a positive direction. In addition, Compassion staff members continued to provide information and answer questions during our bus ride to the luncheon. We were more than adequately prepared for the visit.
When we arrived at the Compassion center, children danced for us. The second musical number relayed a powerful message: No more war, drugs, violence, dying, hunger, or sickness. We need more love. The performance ended, and we divided into groups for a tour of the center. We learned how Compassion centers impact a child’s physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, economical, and social development. The location we toured recently initiated a Child Survival Program (CSP), which provides education and support to mothers, “promoting effective child development to ensure that children survive the early years when they are most vulnerable to disease and malnutrition.” The picture below (left) is the CSP room, and the other (right) is in the kitchen where children learn to bake and decorate cakes. Our daughters are standing with the pastor of the church (left) and the teacher of this class (right).
After the tour, we met our interpreter, and she introduced us to B, our sponsor child. Not only was B‘s mother able to get a day off work to join us, she also managed to bring J, our sponsor child’s older sister. A representative from their Compassion center accompanied them. We were relieved to learn their commute to the center only took 30 minutes by bus and cab. From the letters we’ve received from B, we know she likes puppies. We broke the ice with a puppy coloring book and crayons, and the younger girls were entertained until lunch was served. Once we had finished eating, our daughters pulled a jump rope from our bag. The four girls played “train” with the jump rope, weaving through the tables for quite some time. Someone captured the fun with a Polaroid and gave the picture of the four girls (at the beginning of this post) to the family to take home. Other sponsors blew bubbles or played with a ball, and these items seemed to help them engage with their children.
As our girls entertained each other, Travis and I spoke with B‘s mother and learned more about their family. She told of their blessings as well as their hardships. Because our family has struggled through our share of tough times, we were able to build into this mother and encourage her based on our experiences. This strengthened our connection. As I watched these four girls interact, I couldn’t believe how similar they are. Both sets of sisters are less than 18 months apart. Their names start with the same letters. Brooke and J have fair skin, blonde hair, and light eyes. Jillian and B have brown hair and hazel eyes. Later in the day, a couple of our teammates told us their sponsor families thought Travis and I had four daughters. They wondered where our sponsor child was. The events of this day remind me of The Author of the Story, one of the daily themes during the trip. God is the author of this story. He has intertwined our families, and it’s so cool to look back and see how His hands were at work.
Before we parted ways, we gave B a bright pink cinch sacked packed with a toothbrush, toothpaste, stickers, and our daughters’ favorite children’s Bible (in Spanish). The four girls read Noah’s Ark together. In the picture below, Karla, our interpreter, is pointing to our family picture as B tells her our names.
This trip and the chance to meet our sponsor child and her family is part of the story God has written for us. A mission trip at home or abroad may not be part of your story, but there are so many ways to make a difference in the lives of others in your community and around the world. Not all of them require travel or financial commitments. In this post, I mentioned several components of Compassion that are funded by monetary donations. Want to provide Bibles for the classrooms? Interested in funding sports camps and baking classes for a child? There are a variety of options at every price point. Visit the Compassion website for more information. Merry Christmas! May God bless you in the New Year. | <urn:uuid:28e83582-3b0d-4486-be39-69bc00e68e75> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://lauriestroupsmith.com/2016/12/12/go-nicaragua-2016-the-author-of-the-story/ | 2018-09-23T07:26:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267159160.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20180923055928-20180923080328-00005.warc.gz | en | 0.97419 | 1,212 |

I find it sad that I respond to a post and state my view on a poll question and you immediately attack me and my beliefs. It shows me you are driven to one line of thinking without any capacity to read what is being posted. Now stop hijacking this post and let others comment on the true question in this poll.

I said you can have your beliefs, you believe in god and the trinity...... fine. This has nothing to do with me getting hit with canes by nuns, priests, and teachers, as a child, it has nothing to do with me being told that I am insignificant and am going to hell.
It has everything to do with crimes committed on other children, that of a much more serious and deleterious nature.
You have completely forgotten to address the Crimes at hand, those committed by your church, the sexual abuse to thousands and thousands of children on behalf of the elders of your church. That is the issue and nothing else.
You have not brought up the sexual and mental abuse of these children, why is that? Are you that bloody blind?
I just posted half a page of injustices and you've completely ignored them, and shifted the goal-posts back to my personal situation.
The catholic church harbours and protects pedophiles. If you do not believe this, then you are in a severe category of denial. Stop changing the subject to me jacking you on your beliefs. It's not the issue here.
You belong to a criminal organization, Don't like it, then move on.

Yes, they follow the directives of the Vatican. They are more than implicated. When local monies are paid out, it's often done on the behalf of the archbishop of the archdiocese.
If a pedophile priest is transfered to a parish that did not any injustices committed in their history, they have no choice but to accept that priest.
Catholics are not showing disdain to the Vatican, they are simply paying lip-service, and hoping like yourself, that all will be forgotten.
Parishes that have a wonderful rich history, and have no problems now or in the past are still pawns of Ratzinger and his criminal organization. | <urn:uuid:7a8a771e-2618-47fb-8633-4b1b25071dc4> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://www.sportscardforum.com/threads/1870169-Is-Jesus-God?p=12454174 | 2015-03-31T06:02:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131300313.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172140-00057-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955596 | 618 |

* Notes *
Händel's Serse had a strong opening yesterday evening at Houston Grand Opera. The production, from the English National Opera, is entertaining, and features astroturf as a main stage element. The chorus seemed to all be painted grey, and the supernumeraries white. During the overture, the principals are introduced in turn, with the names of the characters projected on a scrim. Though a diversion from the music, one imagines this is quite helpful to the audience, given how convoluted the plot of Serse is.
The orchestra, conducted by William Lacey, played nimbly, the overtures of Act I and III were spirited. "Ombra mai fù" was taken rather slowly. There were some moments when things seemed a bit awry, as in the Sinfonia of Act I, or at the the end of Act II. The chorus, on the other hand, sounded vivid and together.
Before the performance began, it was announced that Susan Graham, who is singing the title role, was feeling unwell, and begged our indulgence. She still sounded pure and clear, and she sang very beautifully. There were a few times her voice was rather quiet, or her low notes were off, but these were minor distractions. Her Act II Scene 10 aria, "Il core spera e teme" was especially fine. Laura Claycomb was convincing as Romilda, her voice is icily lovely, and though she has a lot of vibrato in her high tessitura, it is not unpleasant to the ear. She sang wonderfully with David Daniels (Arsamenes), their duet in Act III was amusing. Daniels also sang his Act II aria superbly. Sonia Prina's rich, warm voice was appropriate for Amastre, and was a nice respite from all the high voices. Heidi Stober was exceedingly funny as Atalante, and she too had a good warmth. Philip Cutlip and Adam Cioffari, in the bass roles of Ariodate and Elviro, respectively, both were hilarious.
* Tattling *
There was talking and whispering, but it was mostly reserved for when no one was singing. It was more unfortunate that the applause made some of the music inaudible. One cellular phone rang just before Act I, another just before Act II, and yet another at the beginning of the last aria of Act II.

|Nice classy casual dress, isn't it?|
|Except SURPRISE!! There are green and purple giraffes parading across the skirt!|
Ever since I started sewing, I've slowly built a me-made wardrobe of a very particular category: dresses with fitted bodices and full skirts from unlikely woven materials. I decided I really don't need any more; to that end I've been working on using more knits, different silhouettes, and non-dresses. But when it comes down to it, I need to be realistic about my wardrobe. Much as I love those tiny waisted dresses with a retro feel, when I'm bumming around the house I pull out my dresses with elastic waists. A couple of these are getting near the end of their can-still-wear-them-out-in-public lifespan, so I figured that for this week's Sew Weekly Challenge, Down Under (sew for the opposite season), I would make an elastic-waisted casual summer dress. Nice and easy, right? Especially in light of some upcoming projects I have in the works.
I drew from these RTW dresses as inspiration: summer casual but still classy-looking, not too beachy, loose and blouse-y but still with defined waists.
|L-R: Modcloth, J.Crew, Anthro, Forever 21.|
I didn't even bother sketching a pattern for this dress (and maybe it shows); I just cut out an oversized A-line dress with a hint of a cap sleeve. I decided that since this wasn't a technically demanding dress, I would finish ALL my inside seams with seam binding. Probably a good idea, as my fabric was some mysterious blend from the thrift store, and while not extremely ravelly, it was definitely less stable than my normal bed sheet. I added the elastic band at the waist, and then just to complicate things a bit more, added a band under the giraffes for more visual interest. Except that the busyness of the print makes it difficult to tell that there's a band of fabric, and not just more crazy dots.
|See, there really is another band of fabric! Still not as neat as it could be, |
but hopefully this dress will stand up to the wash like a champ.
My just-wing-it approach meant that it turned out much blousier than I was expecting, but with a wide elastic belt it's still fine. Not quite as classy as my inspiration pieces, seeing as how there are giraffes marching across the bottom, but hey, it will go into my growing collection of African-mammal-print-clothing.
|Birds of paradise feel extra-summery, right?|
|Not that it doesn't feel like summer right now anyway. I think we've had maybe two weeks of winter so far.|
Fabric: 2 yards of mystery thrifted fabric of some kind; excellent drape, stands up to pressing on quite a high heat setting, but doesn't hold a very sharp crease, pretty matte surface with some texture, feels fairly substantial (not like an actual rayon)...any ideas? I almost didn't buy it, because I was wondering if the colors and dots looked too old-ladyish, but Shayna talked me into it. I'm so glad she did!
Notions: Bias tape for the neckline, seam binding, elastic. I feel like I haven't sewn a zipper in ages...love it!
Hours: Somewhere in the range of 4-5 hours. The dress itself is pretty simple, but I put seam binding on everything, and since I only have pink seam binding, I had to keep stopping to switch thread colors.
Techniques used: Seam binding? Zigzagging elastic? Does that really count?
Will you make this again? Only if I find a suitably drapey and hard-wearing fabric. I think this would look way too poofy in a woven cotton. It's a super easy dress and comfy to boot.
Total cost: I already had all the notions leftover from other projects, so just $3 for the fabric!
Final thoughts? I love that the top looks nice and normal, but then there are giraffes on it! But it's still a more serious animal print than my hippo dress. The dark colors mean that while this is supposed to be a summer dress, I can add tights and boots and a cardigan if need be for winter. I'm really glad that I finished all the insides, as I expect to be wearing it quite a bit. My husband likes it, and isn't embarrassed by it, so that's always a plus.
|The insides! I finally used up the last of my stash of purple bias tape! Yes!!! *fist pump*|
|Just to rub in the fact that winter in SoCal feels like summer: it was warm enough for some afternoon shaved ice!| | <urn:uuid:cef05352-8dd1-458b-8e75-90724a1116fa> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://cationdesigns.blogspot.co.nz/2012/02/classy-casual-giraffe-dress.html | 2013-12-12T09:36:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386164575861/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204134255-00001-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970027 | 1,042 |

Presentation on theme: "POLAR REGIONS EXPLORING THE EXTREME ENVIRONMENT BY FRASER HOPEWELL."— Presentation transcript:
POLAR REGIONS EXPLORING THE EXTREME ENVIRONMENT BY FRASER HOPEWELL
* Because The North Pole is surrounded by water, it is warmer than the South Pole. This happens because the water holds onto heat and heats up the pole. Although The North Pole is warmer than the South Pole, it is still quite cold. The average temperature in Winter is -30 degrees Celsius (-30 Fahrenheit), while the average temperature in summer is 0 degrees Celsius (32 Fahrenheit). The ice at the north pole is somewhere around 3 meters thick, although, through global warming this number is dropping. WEATHER IN THE NORTH POLE (1/2)
WEATHER IN THE NORTH POLE (2/2)
The south pole has one of the coldest climates of earth, very similar to the desert because of the minimal amount of precipitation and humidity in the air. Another contributing factor to the south pole’s cold climate is the fact that during the winter, the sun never appears on the south pole horizon, it does however appear during the summer but always hugs the horizon. Average winter temperature in the south pole is -65 degrees Celsius (-85 Fahrenheit) while in summer, the average climbs to about - 25 degrees Celsius (-12 Fahrenheit), much colder than the North Pole. WEATHER IN THE SOUTH POLE (1/2)
WEATHER IN THE SOUTH POLE (2/2)
Some of the Arctic is in Canada, in fact the farthest north city in the world is in Canada. It is called Resolute, it’s in Nunavut. Most of Canada’s 3 Territories are covered in snow for most, if not all of the year. This trend is a lot like the arctic. Temperatures are also very cold in the territories, but mostly in Nunavut. In fact the North pole was first discovered by Robert Peary, an explorer aided by two Canadians from nowadays’ Nunavut. THE NORTH POLE & CANADA
Probably the biggest obstacle that explorers face when exploring the poles is the temperature. Frostbite is very common at the poles, leaving many explorer’s with amputated fingers & toes, sometimes even limbs are amputated due to frostbite. Another obstacle that the explorers face is the declining thickness of ice, with many explorers falling through. A car somehow managed to drive from Resolute to the North Pole despite the ice or lack there of thickness. THE ROUGH CONDITIONS & OBSTACLES IN THE ARCTIC
English television show Top Gear recently drove the Toyota Hilux from Resolute, Canada to the North Pole. Two of the three host’s on the show drove the Hilux and set off on 1:00, April 27, They ran into many obstacles along the way including ice fields, and the thin ice. Once, one of the car’s tires broke through the ice, and had to be towed out by the other which the camera crew was travelling in. They reached the pole in one piece, which made them the first ever to reach the north pole in any automobile. DRIVING IN THE ARCTIC
The Toyota Hilux that the Top Gear crew and hosts used were heavily modified by an Icelandic vehicle modification company. A few added features on the modified Hilux’s were 38” Snow Tires and two winches in case any of the cars got stuck. This wasn’t the last time that Top Gear used the Hilux for its durability, James May later used it to get close enough to a still erupting volcano, in hopes of returning with a souvenir.

Mobility is the importance of this expedition. With the newfound knowledge that cars can drive at the north pole quicker than the preconceived way, explorers can be more mobile on their journeys and also carry more equipment with them. This expedition proved that heavily adapted cars can make the trip to Polar Regions and come back in one piece. With greatly improved cargo space an SUV offers, explorers could bring more equipment and make larger discoveries. WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE?
The Toyota Hilux functions like any other car, with fuel powering the engines which powers the wheels, effectively making the car go. However the people at Top Gear made some modifications to the engine and battery to make them last longer. They added heaters to the engine to increase fuel and coolant temperatures so that they would not freeze. They also installed a large heavy duty battery. The air intake on the Hilux was also adapted. Lastly they fitted a 90 litre auxiliary fuel tank. An extra large sump guard was also added. HOW DOES THE TECHNOLOGY WORK?
Before people explore the Polar Regions they should first hire a guide. They are worth the expense. Another step that they can take to be responsible while exploring is to join an expedition with professionals who do this kind of stuff as a career. Try not to leave any bodily waste behind because it damages the eco system. Try not to come in contact with any wildlife because they can harm you. Lastly try not to use excessive amounts of heat because it could melt the ice. HOW CAN HUMANS EXPLORE POLAR REGIONS RESPONSIBILITY?
The Dogsled was invented by Canadian Inuit's. The dogsled is used to travel to these harsh environments. It is powered by 8-10 dogs that have different positions within the group. The sleigh on the back of the dogsled can hold up to 2 people and small bags. The dogs are kept in kennels and are well fed prompting good behaviour and obedience. Dogsleds have been used by many expeditions to the pole and raced against the car in the expedition I studied. Although the dogsled lost to the car, it still got the people who were commandeering it quite close to the pole.

BRANTFORD — For the second year in a row, there was a sea of orange in Brantford on Canada Day to remind the world that thousands of children died in residential schools in an attempt to assimilate Indigenous people into Canadian culture.
Hundreds of people marched through Brantford on July 1 wearing bright orange shirts declaring Every Child Matters to honour residential school survivors and the children who never made it home
in Canada’s ill-conceived attempt to turn them into Canadian citizens at the church-run boarding schools that denied them their language, culture, and basic human rights.
The group made its way to the Woodland Cultural Centre, the site of the former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School, where a ground search began last fall for potential
hidden graves of former students.
During the march, attendees chanted “Every Child Matters” – a reference to survivors of residential schools.
At the school grounds, former student and Mohawk Institute survivor Roberta Hill told the crowd she had some good memories of the school but only because, “of the kids I made
friends with. All the bad memories happened in this building beside me.”
Hill attended the Mush Hole – the name given to the Mohawk Institute for the bland, mush-like porridge the kids ate for breakfast every day – from 1957 to 1961. The school closed down in
1971, about 150 years after it first began operating. It is the oldest residential school in Canada.
The legacy of abuse suffered by children at residential schools across the country still reverberates in Indigenous communities across Canada, which is why many First Nation
communities chose not to celebrate Canada Day at all, but instead, to honour residential school survivors and its victims.
“You can’t erase the memories of what happened to those children,” said Hill.
The march was organized by the Brant Region Indigenous Support Centre (BRISC), which also hosted a similar walk last year in the wake of the discovery of hundreds of hidden
graves at a former residential school in British Columbia that sent shockwaves around the world.
Similar graves have since been uncovered at other former residential school sites across the country.
“Instead of celebrating Canada, we honour our survivors,” said BRISC executive director. | <urn:uuid:963e12fc-0ffe-4f42-93ed-037c6e83f8eb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://tworowtimes.com/news/local/demonstrators-recognize-canada-day-with-march-to-former-residential-school/ | 2022-08-17T01:49:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572833.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817001643-20220817031643-00646.warc.gz | en | 0.966993 | 470 |
