Pioneer Park is located toward the southern end of Kitchener. Homes in this area vary in style and age, some being constructed in the 70’s and 80’s and some more recent additions in the early 2000’s. You can find a variery of homes, ranging from stately, large homes with mature trees and large yards to new build stacked townhomes.
This neighbourhood is conveniently located near the Walter Bean Grand River Trail for those looking to explore the area by foot. It is also just a short trek to The Waterloo Region Museum, which is located on the Southwest side of Pioneer Park for those individuals who want to add a bit of culture to their regimen. Commuters will also love the convenient access to the 401.
Public school students can look forward to attending Pioneer Park P.S. for JK-6 before moving on to middle school at Doon P.S. They will then attend Huron Heights S.S. for their high school education. Catholic school students will attend St. Timothy for JK-8 before attending St. Mary’s Catholic Secondary School. | <urn:uuid:02c217f3-33a1-4d8f-818f-516500e78f16> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://www.trilliumwest.com/neighbourhoods/76/pioneer-park/ | 2019-09-19T23:08:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514573759.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20190919224954-20190920010954-00167.warc.gz | en | 0.974993 | 229 |

Vulnerabilities in Brink’s Smart Safe
This is far from shocking to anyone who has studied infosec. More of a total yawn, actually. Clueless people racing to claim market segments are naturally going to trip over complex things like security. Anything meant to be secure only has a chance of being such if the only way to change configuration is to properly authenticate. Customers hate that, though, because when they forget their password then they have an expensive brick on their hands. I experienced that myself: I bought a solid state computer I was intending at the time to use for hosting my web sites (my provider, at the time, was being incredibly unresponsive to my complaints). I chose a password that would be trivial to remember so naturally didn’t write it down. Over a year later I remember the thing is sitting in the basement and lo and behold, I have no idea what the damn password is. I believe I was eventually able to reset the box and get back onto it (I can’t remember, it was many months ago when I tried for a couple of days), but anyone else who had physical possession of the box could also do that. I quite doubt that the drive was encrypted such that it became a incomprehensible mess upon reset, I expect all the data would be there plain as day. Since I only paid a couple of hundred for the box I was frustrated, but it wasn’t a big deal. What if you had paid 100’s of thousands or millions? In that case you would demand that there be a back door (but only a ‘secure one’, whatever the hell that means!) so if the gewgaw was unable to be reached for some reason you could get around it and still get your money’s worth.
Real security is expensive and hard and is still steeped with vulnerabilities. Anything else is just window dressing advertising to a credulous customer designed to improve profit margins at the expense of ignorance.
As usual for Schneier’s blog, the comments are at least as interesting as the article.
I haven’t blogged on infosec in a while (true, I haven’t blogged in a while, but I was out all last week on ‘vacation’ sweating my ass off in preparation for our July 4th party (which went very well indeed!)), because of my job I have to be careful and decided it would be better to avoid the topic. However, this one appears safe. It is interesting that these sorts of emanations are detectable at even this distance, I would think there would be so much inadvertent shielding and noise that you would have to put a detector directly on the laptop to get the data. TEMPEST has always been interesting to me, though I only discovered it by accident when I was looking around for the Tempest video game (one of my favorites, by far; I have avoided trying to purchase a refurbished unit because I would probably spend all day playing and have other things I need to do). In the old CRT days you could have a van parked in a parking lot a goodly distance away and be able to recreate the screen image (with appropriate equipment, of course) and it was interesting when people created fonts that would defeat such attempts. I am sure TEMPEST is alive and well, but defense against these sorts of things is relatively easy: just put a bunch of distance between yourself and any potential adversaries. The inverse square law is unyielding in its power and, as the above article shows, inches matter.
Congressman Warns of Encrypted “Dark Spaces”; Another Says: “Ooooh It Sounds Really Scary”
“The notion that encryption is somehow different than other forms of destroying and hiding things is simply not true,” Lieu told The Intercept. “Forty years ago, you could make the statement that paper shredders are one of the most damaging things to national security because they destroy documents that law enforcement might want to see.”
It is almost (almost) amusing to me how clueless these people who claim to represent us are (of course, they actually represent the elite 0.001%). I don’t recall the specifics, but fairly recently (couple of years ago) some idiot senator or representative endlessly championed our governments ‘need’ to read everyone’s mail, that is, until she found out that the govt was reading _her_ mail. Suddenly she was against it. What the hell did she think? Oh yeah, she didn’t…
And the idea that somehow the government can have a backdoor that only the government, under a court order (like that has been working so far!) can access. Even in the unbelievably unlikely situation where the backdoor created is unhackable (vanishingly small, so small it is unrealistic in a real world to consider possible, let alone probable), how long until corrupt members of our law enforcement start to use the access without going through proper channels (which, naturally, themselves are subject to abuse).
Passphrases That You Can Memorize — But That Even the NSA Can’t Guess
This is sort of a re-tweet, but having studied a bit of the science behind cryptography over the years (I once ‘invented’ an encryption algorithm and even presented it to a cryptography expert (being ignorant can have amazing payoffs if you are lucky); only later did I realize how cheeky I was and later still after doing some entropy analysis did I realize that my algorithm sucked massively) I have a very good feeling about this. Diceware is a very simple, yet elegant and effective way to produce passphrases that have a useful amount of entropy (the article does a decent job of explaining this) yet are feasible to remember. While unnecessary, throwing capitalization and/or punctuation adds a few more bits of entropy against those performing an attack.
A note to reinforce the comments regarding using this technique for websites/cloud authentication: it is not feasible to test a trillion passphrases a second across the Internet against a busy server so it isn’t necessary to have the same level of entropy. Also, there are plenty of attacks that make having the best passphrase irrelevant anyway. This Diceware approach is for securing things you have physical control over (though, a note to you paranoid types: physical control is not total control if the device can ever be accessed via a device that has ever been connected in any way to any network that has ever been connected to the Internet at any time).
Not terribly surprising to me given that with the proper malware installed on your phone anyone can listen to any nearby conversation and that people can also turn on your video camera on your computers to see what there is to see (increasingly, TVs are also coming with cameras!). ‘Tis the new world order, us paranoid people just have to adjust…
The World’s Email Encryption Software Relies on One Guy, Who is Going Broke
Werner Koch’s code powers the email encryption programs around the world. If only somebody would pay him for the work.
Also interesting comments here.
It is amazing how many fundamental pieces of open source software are dependent on a handful (or just one) person. There are a few that are supported by large groups, for instance Linux, Apache, gcc, but so many are hanging by a thread. It would be nice to see some process whereby these people could be compensated, but I am not holding my breath.
The Most Important Trial in America
The federal government’s case against the proprietor of a ‘darknet’ website could forever alter how we all use the Internet.
This is something that deserves higher visibility, so I will do my small (tiny (infinitesimal)) part to widen the scope. I agree with this statement:
I have no idea if he is innocent or guilty of all or some of the charges against him, but the manner in which his prosecution is playing out should disturb anyone who cares about justice.
When the government is allowed to break laws willy nilly and the justice department stands idly by, we are no longer a nation of laws. Of course, this has been a reality for quite a while, but sometimes it is hard to convince the sheeple that these things are important. Perhaps one day the government will finally reach a point where they take on someone who isn’t successfully demonized and the sheeple will rally. Or perhaps not…
I found this on Bruce Schneier’s blog:
Fingerprinting Computers By Making Them Draw Images
Here’s a new way to identify individual computers over the Internet. The page instructs the browser to draw an image. Because each computer draws the image slightly differently, this can be used to uniquely identify each computer. This is a big deal, because there’s no way to block this right now.
I glanced at the paper and it is a bit interesting. By getting your computer’s hardware to produce an image they can identify the machine with a high degree of accuracy. Of course, one would presume that that level of hardware access would be blocked by the browser sandbox, but they found a clever way to step around that limitation. This approach will, of course, be quickly blocked by many of the browser writers (I am sure that the Firefox developers are almost done with a patch), but there is a HUGE amount of money out there for products such as these and I have no doubt that variations on a theme will be blasting out soon. It is interesting to me, though, that the very success with tools such as these puts a hard lifetime on their success. There are quite a few groups out there that are ultra paranoid about every byte that traverses their networks and they work to identify the source for each and every one, so something that becomes successful will rapidly rise into the targeting aperture of these organizations and be stomped on. It is interesting to observe the cat and mouse game (where ‘cat’ and ‘mouse’ switch roles from time to time) from the sidelines, I am quite happy to not put in 36 hour days figuring out some of these things.
Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that Target (and several others) have recently been hacked at their point of sale (POS) terminals to the tune of 10’s of millions of credit cards. Back in the ‘old days’ when it was a whole lot of work to take advantage of a stolen credit card it made a lot of sense for the credit card companies to simply bake in a percentage of fraud and just get the customers to deal with it (note that the real customers of the CC companies are the merchants, NOT the consumer). However, now that CCs can be stolen by the millions and monetized quickly and entirely remotely this strategy is now biting the CC companies on the ass. Sure, with data mining they can identify a lot of fraud and take steps to minimize it, but since they push this cost on to their customers at some point the customers are going to balk. The core of the problem is that when you use the CC at the POS the merchant (and by extension anyone who has hacked the merchant’s POS hardware) now has all the information to make any number of unauthorized purchases. If we had smart cards that produced a one-time encrypted, signed token, ‘stealing’ this information would be entirely pointless. While it is not trivial to make such a system bulletproof, even a naive implementation would immediately eliminate any value from stealing the CC information and likely make the cost of fraud orders of magnitude higher. Of course, in the real world it is very hard to get anyone to change AND there is a huge amount of money to be made in converting to a new system so none of the current actors actually want to have open standards. However, I predict that the current paradigm will end soon (decade or so) because the fraud costs are going up on nearly a daily basis and I am quite sure that merchants are about ready to switch to cash-only to avoid the increasing percentage the CC companies are charging them. Of course, the merchants simply pass this cost onto their customers (us), but because of the highly competitive nature of (true capitalistic (not that we really have a lot of that here in the good old USofA)) competition, if a merchant can give a consumer a 10% discount for paying with cash (and maintain the same or better margins) I bet that would attract a lot of attention.
I was motivated to write this post after reading this other blog post:
Dispute Resolution Systems for Security Protocols
It is not totally relevant to my post, but here it is in case you are curious. I didn’t read the paper the post refers to, because, as mentioned in my post and a couple of the comments (as usual, the comments are very interesting (well, if you are interested in infosec, anyway)) the paper is addressing the wrong problem.
I got to say I was very skeptical when I started reading the post and kept checking my calendar to see if it was April 1st. As is usual for Schneier’s blog, the comments are also interesting reading; I suggest interested reader(s) scroll down and check them out. The general consensus I got was it was feasible to get a few kbps and the knee jerk response is that bandwidth at that rate is useless. Well, for surfing the ‘net today, that is certainly the case, but back in the ‘old days’ when you weren’t transmitting gigabyte Flash files it actually could be very useful. Back in the ‘old days’ you would transmit compressed code and then compile it (or run it as a script) on the remote host and actually move quite a bit of functionality around over such a low bandwidth connection. So, for well written malware (yes, I know that is generally an oxymoron) such a tiny soda straw would be very valuable.
The moral to this story: with modern computers with all sorts of wireless communication (intentional or otherwise) devices built-in it can take a great deal of effort to truly isolate them. | <urn:uuid:7320712b-71c4-4f9c-b91f-6d8d076f14e7> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://sol-biotech.com/wordpress/category/infosec/ | 2017-10-21T10:29:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824733.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021095939-20171021115939-00795.warc.gz | en | 0.96473 | 2,963 |
Yes! We are open during Covid-19
Yes, Divine Body Massage Therapy is open during Covid-19. Registered Massage Therapists ARE allowed to work provided masks are worn at all times.
Massage therapists are Regulated Health Care Professionals operating under the Regulated Health Professions Act and Massage Therapy Act.
Owner/founder, Bonnie Jean Spillane (RMT) is happy to take care of you. I will continue to follow strict protocols to keep us all healthy, and welcome any questions to ensure your visit is a positive and helpful experience.
Covid Policy for Divine Body Clients
At this moment I have tightened my business Covid protocols while we get through this together. As of Jan. 5, 2022, all clients and visitors MUST be fully vaccinated (with at least TWO doses), to receive treatment in my home. Those clients will need to show proof of vaccination (QR Code) and pass the standard Pre-Covid Screening that comes to you via email 24 hr. before your appointment.
Individuals who are not fully vaccinated are required to book with me outside my home, at another healthcare clinic that I work out of. Please contact me directly if this applies to you. This will remain in effect until further notice to protect my family, my clients and myself.
Safety in treatment is of utmost priority at Divine Body Massage Therapy and part of my vision statement, we can only do that together. If you are feeling ‘off’ and a little under the weather, I ask that you please reschedule your appointment (with no penalty) but to try and give as much notice as possible (24 hours in advance is ideal).
I am grateful for your continued support and for the opportunity to provide a safe and restful environment while we collectively navigate this time together.
- Prior to each visit all clients and visitors must complete a mandatory health Pre-Covid Screening before being treated.
- Divine Body also requires that a mask or face covering must be worn by every person at all times while indoors in a manner that covers their mouth, nose and chin.
- Continue physical distancing during client intake and assessment.
Nothing has changed with regards to the high standards of disinfecting, sanitizing, checks and pre-screening measures in my private practice. I continue to only treat 4-5 patients per day and leave 30 minutes between treatments to ensure quality cleaning protocols. Masks are to be worn at all times and I have a brand new HEPA filter that is constantly running. Personally, I am triple vaccinated. My older children are also double vaccinated and awaiting their boosters as well.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Personal note for when you arrive to my Home Practice.
- When you arrive knock on the door and I’ll let you in and ask that you sanitize your hands. I have two very friendly dogs who will be excited by your arrival. Please ignore them. They absolutely WILL NOT harm you. If you have any fears or concerns please let me know beforehand.
- If you have a homemade cloth mask I ask that you wear it throughout the whole treatment, I will be wearing a surgical-grade disposable mask. If you forgot your mask, I can give you one.
- 24 hrs. prior to arrival you will be sent a mandatory Pre Covid Screening via email. If you have forgotten to respond, I will screen you upon arrival. Next we will take a few minutes to go over your health history form and assess your needs as to specific areas you want me to work on and address any pain you may be having. This ensures a safe and effective treatment and I appreciate your patience with this.
- My treatment room is on the second floor. After the intake we will head on up.
- Hand washing and disinfecting procedures are always maintained before and after treatments. For now, only treating/practicing (max) 3-4 clients a day with at least 30 minutes between clients for disinfecting and sanitizing.
- A washroom is available for you and is cleaned after every use.
- Contactless Payment is available.
- Operating out of my home, it’s imperative to maintain a clean household for myself, my children and my clients.
- Personally I have already been triple vaccinated.
- My children have been double vaccinated as well and are awaiting their boosters.
- We all take this pandemic very seriously for our safety and yours.
What I am doing to limit risk:
- Washing hands before and after each treatment
- Thoroughly wipe down with disinfectant wipes on all contact surfaces mainly (but not limited to): chair, massage stool, massage table, oil bottle, desk, face cradles, doorknobs and sink taps.
- Enhancing time between clients (30 mins or more) to allow for a safe amount of ventilation to pass through and allowing time for the disinfectant to run its course.
- Deep cleaning all the areas of the clinic that are considered ‘high traffic’ areas. This includes washrooms and other clinic areas.
- Cleaning is to be done with government approved disinfectant sprays & wipes.
- Mopping & vacuuming at the end of each day to deep clean floors
- Brand new HEPA Air filter in the treatment room.
- New HVAC systems were installed less than a year ago to help filter particles in the air.
- Opening all windows and allowing aeration throughout.
- I am a total neat freak/germaphobe and take this pandemic very seriously for the safety of your family and mine. | <urn:uuid:bc7471e7-9c7d-4ff6-9815-268d5996e1d1> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://divinebody.ca/covid-19/ | 2022-05-19T15:40:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662529538.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20220519141152-20220519171152-00603.warc.gz | en | 0.948993 | 1,182 |
November 03, 2010
A baby boomer's first 'fowl adventure.
Illustration by Dan Meyer.
It was a cold, crisp, early October morning€¦
Yeah, I know what you're thinking, "Ahh geeze, here we go again. Another one of those warm and fuzzy, sittin'-by-the fire, toastin' marshmallows stories."
Like it or not, that's how my first duck hunt started. Yes, my first hunt€¦ever. Well, maybe not ever. I do remember hunting for Easter eggs as a kid and I did have to hunt for my car keys a couple of times over the years, but I sure don't remember unloadin At 58 years of age and on the leading edge of the baby boomer generation, I decided to enter a sport where many hunters my age are hanging up their waders. For the baby boomers that are finally thinking of entering the sport of wingshooting for the first time€¦here's a story of one, older, first time hunter.
It was a cold, crisp, early October morning, the kind that makes the hairs in your nose take notice with each breath. It had been sometime since I had been to the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge in upstate New York. I couldn't recall exactly how long a drive it was, so I set my alarm to give myself plenty of time to dress, double check my gear list and wrestle with driving conditions.
The unconventional beeping of my digital alarm clock interrupted my sleep at about 3 a.m. Interrupted...hell, I'd been turning side to side in bed almost every half hour glancing at the clock to make sure the alarm hadn't failed...It hadn't. The excitement of my first duck hunting adventure was about to commence.
I had laid all my clothes out the night before so I was dressed and ready to rock 'n' roll in about 15 minutes. I went through my checklist again as I panned the smorgasbord of equipment in the back of my minivan. Once satisfied, I removed the frost from the windshield and hit the road 45 minutes later.
There was no reason to be concerned about the drive. At 4 o'clock in the morning, the milkman isn't even up. You remember the milkman, don't you? Anyhow, the roads were clear and I was the first to arrive at the permit station about 4:45 a.m.
Vehicles began to fill the lot shortly thereafter and along about 5 a.m., the lights went on in the permit station. Like the announcement of "last call" at the local watering hole, the opening of that building siphoned hunters from their vehicles. I, not wanting to miss the action, followed suit.
As I entered the building, I saw a large refuge map on one wall identifying the blinds. The opposite wall held a chart listing the blind numbers along side of which was the number of ducks taken the previous hunt day. One of the fellows reviewing the data was an acquaintance I new from the Clayton Decoy Show in the Thousand Islands. I approached him with an amicable greeting and a handshake and after a little small talk, he offered his expertise as to which blinds I might choose as well as those a novice, like myself, might want to avoid.
At 5:25 a.m., everyone was asked to leave the building. I didn't know why, but again, I followed the herd outside into the starry night. As each person stepped outside, they turned to form a line to get back into the building and I, uniformly, took my position in line as well. Once the building was waterfowler free, everyone reentered the building, one by one, showing evidence of a valid hunting license, waterfowl identification card and HIP number. Once the validity of the items was verified, each hunter was given a number and a duplicate was placed in a container.
After all hunters checked in, the lottery drawing for blinds commenced. I could feel the tension in the air as the first number was called. "Here," someone shouted and the individual stepped to the counter to claim his territory. "Number 36 is gone," the DEC officer shouted from behind the counter. That triggered several moans from the floor. The draw continued as did the outbursts of jubilation and agonizing groans of defeat. I heard someone call out my first choice and shortly thereafter my second choice was gone. Just as I was contemplating the possibility of returning home empty handed, I heard it! My number! They just called my number! Again, following the lead of my predecessors, I stepped to the counter and proclaimed "Blind 25". I paid my fee, signed the daily permit and exited the building with the strut of spring gobbler.
The parking lot emptied rapidly as hunters headed to their blinds to setup before sunrise. The adrenaline was beginning to flow as I headed to my first duck dinner. As I approached the parking area, the headlights from my minivan glanced off waterfowling participants emptying gear from their vehicles. I pulled in alongside a couple of gentlemen loading their gear onto a two-wheel cart. "They must have a lot of gear," I thought, as I stepped out of my minivan. I greeted them asking if they could help me with directions to my blind. They obliged me and said, "just head down this road, cross the ditch and you'll see the blind numbers on a stake in the ground."
"Thanks," I said and off they went into the darkness.
I opened the hatch on my minivan and began to assemble my own gear. My plan was to wear all my clothing and carry in my gear. I kicked off my sneakers and pulled on a pair of thermal socks over my poly socks. I removed my blue jeans under which I had on a pair of fleece long johns. I then pulled on my waders. A black Labrador retriever startled me as he excitedly ran up, gave my boots a sniff and with a whistle from his master, was off into the darkness.
I continued dressing by adding a medium weight thermal liner jacket over a poly shirt and my shell over that. I flung my gun with choke tubes in a case over my left shoulder. My decoy bag went over my right shoulder and my field bag with shells, calls, extra gloves, binoculars, camera and snacks went back to the left side. In one hand I carried my campstool and the other a walking stick and flashlight. I felt like the "Stay Puff Marshmallow Man" in camouflage! I made a final mental check and headed into the same darkness that those before me hath trod.
I understood my friend to say, "follow the road to the ribbons and look for the markers with the blind numbers."
About 50 yards or so down the road, I spotted the first ribbon. Based on the map I viewed in the permit station, I determined I should enter at the second marker. So, on I went. Another 50 yards or so, I spotted another ribbon that I thought was my point of entry. With my small flashlight, I scanned across a ravine looking for my blind number. Nothing. I decided to return to the first ribbon, scanning the opposite bank to no avail. With my nose to the ground, I began to look for the point where the others had crossed, searching for a path or trampled grass. Unsu
ccessful, I decided to climb down the ravine and take a closer look. I picked a spot and slowly made my way through brush and tall grass to the bottom only to find it filled with water. At the base of the ravine, I dropped the gear from my shoulders and probed the water with my walking stick only to have it immerse itself in about a foot of thick goo. I thought it was odd that there weren't any signs of other entries. "Where in the hell did those other guys cross?" I thought to myself.
Pushing a stick into a mud hole is one thing, but stepping into it with this 285-pound body plus gear, is another story. The thought of attempting a crossing and getting into trouble without help nearby, was a scary thought at this point.
Tripping on vines and thick weeds, I struggled up the bank. It was decision time. Do I attempt to cross, or cash it in. I was a bit tired, frustrated and really had no idea where I was going. I decided to return to the car and wait for dawn. I dropped my gear and plopped into the front seat. I dozed off and on for about 30 minutes or so and awoke to the pop of gunfire.
Distant light had begun to peek through the trees on the eastern horizon. I heard the distinctive call of a hen mallard nearby and geese honking overhead. I thought about my preparation for this day, taking the hunter safety and waterfowl identification courses, purchasing the appropriate waterfowling gear, investing in a shotgun and the time I spent on the shooting range. I had awakened before the chickens this morning and drove 20 miles. "Nuts," I said to myself, "I came this far, paid my fee and damn it, I'm going to find that blasted blind!"
I threw my jacket on and headed down that road. This time I went past both ribbon stakes and with the help of dawn's early light, I could see that the road branched to the right and crossed that damn ditch over a culvert, no muss, no fuss! As I crossed the ditch I spotted the first marker. Numbers 24 - 29 with an arrow pointing left. That was encouraging. But how far down the trail to my blind? There was only one way to find out! Onward I marched.
The trail turned right and again left and at a fork in the road, another marker that read, blind 25, oh glorious number 25, to the right. Ohhh, I could taste grilled duck for tonight's dinner.
I proceeded down the trail where I could see sunlight glistening on the water. The trees became sparse and weeds and soft ground more abundant. There were a few tired trees in the water accompanied by a few stumps in a small bay with low grasses breaking the water's surface. I walked to the edge and surveyed a most beautiful vista. There were cattails off to my right and two hunters in a stand of dead trees to my far left with two more hunters across the pond. In the middle of this view, about 30 yards out was a stake with a plaque that read "25". I had found the illusive blind number 25 and I was ready to hunt! Unfortunately, in my exuberance to locate the blind, I had left my gear in the minivan.
I was again confronted with yet another decision. Do I stay and enjoy the scenery for a while and then call it a day, or head back for my gear and return to the blind for the purpose intended?
"I came, I saw, I failed? No way, not me!"
The thought of hiking another three quarters of a mile with gear and a barrel of perspiration isn't going to end this adventure. The walk back seemed shorter and my pace quickened as I came within site of the parking area. I gave the ditch a few choice words as I crossed back over. Once I reached the minivan, I loaded my gear onto my shoulders and in the voice of Bluto of Animal House fame, my brain shouted, "Let's do i-i-i-t."
Once again, I headed down that road and across that
infamous ditch. I paused for an occasional drink of water and to adjust the straps on my aching shoulders. My pace began to slow, stopping several more times to rest parts of my body that hadn't been called into service since my children were little. Once I reached the blind, my shoulders were pleading for mercy as I let the bags slide to the ground. I now understood why those two fellows had a cart.
Once rested, I picked up my bag of decoys and trusty walking stick and proceeded into the pond. One by one I placed the decoys in a configuration that would signal every avian passerby, that this was the ideal spot to set down. Now, my decoys didn't flap their wings or bob up and down or sing a rendition of "I'm All Quacked Up Over You," but they looked good. And why shouldn't they? They were the latest and greatest edition of plastic decoys authored by world-renowned carver, Pat Godin.
I returned to shore and looked over my rig. It looked pretty good to me, similar to the layouts suggested in several of the "How to Hunt Ducks" books. I took my place under the branch of a tree from which I hung a piece of camouflage net to help obscure my position. I assumed a comfortable position on my stool, uncased my Remington, checked the safety, and loaded three shells into the 870 Wingmaster. Yes, sir...the hunt was on! I'm not sure what time I finished setting up, but I do know it was a beautiful morning.
Things were a bit quiet on the marsh. I could hear shots in the direction of the blind my friend had selected, but the gun was silent at blind number 25. Then, suddenly, in the distance I spotted two ducks. I drew the duck call to my lips for my waterfowling rendition of Hail to the Chief. Like two Democrats at a Republican rally, they promptly beat it out of there.
The sun continued its ascension and I settled back into my campstool with a couple of granola bars. While consuming my morning meal, a young whitetail emerged from the woods along side of me to drink from the pond before disappearing back into the timber.
There was still no action on our marsh as more shots rang out in the distance. An osprey landed on the one remaining branch of a dead tree on the edge of the cattails. I guess he didn't think much of the hunting either. The next time I looked in his direction, he was gone.
With a lull in the action, I reached for my cell phone to give my wife a call. I wanted to let her know I was safe and thank her for encouraging me to pursue this life long interest. As long as I took out the garbage and left her the credit card, she was good with it. Well, guess what? Apparently there aren't any transmitting towers within range of the refuge. Thus, my wife never received a call. Not to worry, she probably thought I forgot to call anyway, which she would say was par for the course.
At about 10 o'clock, I saw my compadres across the pond begin to gather their decoys. I had heard, on more than one occasion, that weather conditions could effect the movement of ducks. They sometimes don't become active until late morning. Having had nothing to shoot at (yet), I was hoping that perhaps this might be one of those mornings. I continued to gaze skyward, giving an occasional quack on my call, more for practice than tactic at this point, anticipating flashing wings heading for my decoys.
About 11 o'clock, the two hunters to my left had scooped up their two-dozen or so dekes and were exiting the pond. The refuge requires al
l hunters to be out of their blinds by noon. In an attempt to get all of my five dollars worth of hunting time, I stayed to the bitter end. After all, I did lose a couple of hours up front.
The skies remained free of birds for that last half hour and around 11:30, I ejected the same three shells I had loaded just hours earlier, pulled up my decoys, packed up my gear and headed out.
Walking back, I relived the morning in my head thinking how dumb I was not walking further down the road in the first place, but extremely pleased that I persevered to experience my first solo duck hunt. I returned to my minivan one last time and all that I had so neatly packed the night before, was now being tossed into the back like Monday morning's laundry.
The last official duty I had to perform was to complete and return the record of waterfowl taken to the permit station. You are asked to record the number of birds recovered, lost and which specie. I grabbed a pen from the glove box and with the authoritative signature of a British agent, I proudly placed two zeros in the boxes.
Birds or no birds, it made no difference to me. To use the fishermen's' cliché, I was hooked. Granted, the process of getting to the blind and back was tiring on these old bones. Come tomorrow, I'll give 'em a rest. As for today, I did it! Not as fast as I might have been some years ago or as strong, and definitely lacking style points. Call it determination, perseverance or just plain stubbornness, I wanted this adventure and I got it, on my own! The end result for me was a greater appreciation for our surroundings and gratification in the adventure itself.
As I drove up to the now uninhabited permit station, another car pulled alongside. As we stepped from our vehicles and walked toward the depository, I asked the driver of the other car how he did.
"Oh, a couple of mallards," he replied, "How was your day?"
I smiled, nodded my head slowly in the affirmative and said, "Fine, thank you€¦just fine."g a 12-gauge on a hard boiled egg. | <urn:uuid:c1e344eb-6a35-49ba-b67f-d42ba0c881ba> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.wildfowlmag.com/editorial/destinations_wf_1107_04/281036 | 2022-05-24T12:08:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662572800.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220524110236-20220524140236-00785.warc.gz | en | 0.979691 | 3,680 |
Bucks Burnett Makes Good On His Threat, Opens Second Eight Track Museum
Back in March, I checked in with Dallas institution Bucks Burnett and got a tour of his Eight Track Museum in Deep Ellum, lovingly curated by Burnett across several decades. It was then he revealed a new museum would be opening soon, but he wouldn't tell me where. He did let me have three guesses, though Dubai was apparently way off. I certainly wouldn't have guessed the Catskills burg of Roxbury, New York as the locale, but that is indeed where The Eight Track Museum part two is opening.
"I bought a magic lamp, and some really do have genies inside," Burnett jokes. "A friend of mine, Phil Lennihan, approached me about a year ago about an eight track exhibit at this building in Roxbury. It has a post office in it. We're keeping that. The exhibit was going to be an exhibit, but I thought, why not just open a second location instead of doing what everyone thinks it should do, which is keel over dead."
The second location will open September 15, with the grand opening on October 13, and the "unsealing" of the Sinatra room, which will house a copy of one of the rarest and most valuable eight tracks ever: A Frank Sinatra/Antonio Carlos Jobim collaboration. Earlier this month, Burnett snagged a rare sealed copy of The Beatles' 20 Greatest Hits in eight track form for $898 on eBay, which is apparently a record sale for an eight track. Burnett sums up his latest venture in a one characteristically dry swipe:
"Opening a second one, that's insane, on my part and fate's part."

Hockey sticks look like this _/, but the Ducks’ record this season has been looking like this L.
The Anaheim Ducks record is 30-35-9. For those who do not know that is 30 wins 35 losses and nine over time losses. This adds up to a total of 69 points in the standings. They are ranked 27 out of 31 teams, and the 7th seed in the Pacific Division of the NHL.
This is one of the worst seasons the Ducks have had in recent memory. Last year the Ducks were 44-25-6. Although not a perfect record, it was much better than this year is shaping up to be.
The Ducks unsuccessful season seems somewhat ironic; if you ask a Ducks fan how their team usually starts, they would tell you how the Ducks always start off shabby and later turn their season around. The irony of it all is that the Ducks started off better than they had in recent years with a 5-2-1 record and has gone downhill from there.
As the season progressed, the Ducks seemed to be getting worse; being poisoned by injuries with almost all of their core players. Injuries struck players including; Cam Fowler, Ondrej Kase, Patrick Eaves, Corey Perry, Rickard Rakell and so many others.
The General Manager of the Ducks, Bob Murray, released a comment on Randy Carlyle, the head coach of the Anaheim Ducks. “At this time, I am not considering a coaching change. I am more focused on our players, more specifically with who is going to step up in this situation.”
In a press conference on Jan. 11, Randy Carlyle was questioned about his job and how safe he felt with all the losses being marked on the Ducks record. Carlyle responded with with calling the reporter a “jerk” and stormed out of the press conference shockingly ending it.
These injuries seemed to be an excuse for the Ducks failures to win. Fingers were being pointed to Head Coach Randy Carlyle, but there seemed to be a reason for all the loosing
Even the All-Star game, was painful for Ducks fans. John Gibson, the Ducks Goaltender and All-Star game representative had an embarrassing performance by giving up seven goals. Although the All-star game is just for fun, a fan hates to see something like that happen.
After the All-Star break, Corey Perry made an early return and almost all of the Ducks essentials with the exception of Ondrej Kase.
One may expect that with the returning players they might put some wins on the board. This, however, did not happen. They lost six games in a row, including arguably the most pathetic loss of the year, losing 3-9 to the Winnipeg Jets.
On social media, the hashtag “#firecarlyle” was spreading like a wildfire. In addition Ducks fans were showing up to games with frown-faced paper bags over their heads.
The Ducks dropped to the 27th ranked team in the league. This question arose: how many games did the Ducks have to lose to fire Randy Carlyle? As it turns out it took 17 out of 19 games lost to make a change. On Feb. 10, Murray decided to relieve Randy Carlyle of his duties as head coach.
Murray announced that he would be serving as an interim head coach for the Ducks for the remainder of the season. In an interview for the Anaheim Ducks’ twitter, Murray said, “I want to see them competing. I want to see emotion. I want to see them competing to win.”
Although it seems as though this season will be a complete failure, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
In Murray’s first career game as being head coach, the Ducks’ rookie goalie, Kevin Boyle also got his first career start in replacement for an injured John Gibson. Kevin Boyle had himself a night with making 35 saves and completing a shutout against the Vancouver Canucks, ending a seven-game losing streak.
After the win over the Canucks, they lost 3-0 to the Boston Bruins, however it was rather evident that their play was much better than it had been in recent games.
On Feb. 17, Ducks legend Scott Neidermeyer’s jersey was lifted to the rafters in honour of his spectacular career. Subsequently the Ducks beat the NHL’s defending Stanley Cup Champions 5-2. Not to mention that Ducks goaltender Ryan Miller who started that night became the winningest American-born goalie in NHL history.
Fast forward two days after; the Ducks won 4-0 against the Minnesota Wild. Unfortunately in a game against the top seed in the Western Conference, the Calgary Flames, Anaheim lost 2-1 in heart-breaking fashion: with a goal for the flames in the last three minutes.
The Ducks role for the rest of this season is to play spoilers for teams making playoff pushes. For example, on March 15, the Ducks beat the Colorado Avalanche, who need to win nearly every game possible to make the playoffs. The ducks won 5-3 putting even more pressure on Colorado.
Although it’s not a cup-winning year, the Ducks minor league team, The San Diego Gulls, have plenty young talent as well as the most-likely future head coach of Anaheim, Dallas Eakins. The Gulls are also ranked 7th in the Western Conference of the AHL.
There is light at the end of the tunnel for the Anaheim Ducks, following this season of course. | <urn:uuid:0fe8a258-0b63-44c2-8c6d-1c39644c8c59> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://highschool.latimes.com/mission-viejo-high-school/anaheim-ducks-season-thus-far-is-disappointing/ | 2019-06-18T18:14:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998808.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20190618163443-20190618185443-00135.warc.gz | en | 0.978059 | 1,147 |

Castellón (Spain), 30 May 2018.
The EO4GEO project is happy to announce its Workshop and Project meeting to be held in Castellón de la Plana, Spain, from May 30th until June 1st. The meeting will be hosted by project partner Universitat Jaume I (UJI), GEOTEC Research group.
The project, which is now in its first steps (Preparing the space/geospatial sectors skills strategy), intends to identify gaps and shortages between GI and EO training offer.
This workshop, the first of a series that will take place every 6-months, will discuss the (intermediate) findings of the demand survey and will provide an overview of the supply results sprung from the survey about the EO/GI training offer. It will also serve as starting point for the next step of the project (the development of an integrated platform and collaborative tools).
The workshop expects to gather around 50-60 people from the EO/GI sector with different backgrounds and perspectives. Project partners, invited experts, relevant end-users, representatives from the Copernicus program and stakeholders from academia and industry will discuss about the surveys’ results.

Trump’s meltdown and the subsequent media (particularly social media) reaction kind of made the world feel sane again. I feel like more people are finally giving all of this the freak-out it deserves. My favorite freak-out last night, however, was my dad’s over my tweet being featured in a Huffington Post article.
But apparently my come up isn’t over.
Thank you, Sara Haines. I’m (very, very) available for hire.
As for my newfound fame, here’s a list of my next steps:
- Book deal. “Gola Ganda Dreams” has a nice ring to it, don’t ya think?
- Disney World. I’m in need of a vacation from my chronic underemployment.
- Reality show. (No seriously, I’ve got a wedding coming up and my family’s drama makes the Kardashians look like C-SPAN.)
- Pretending I don’t know people when I see them (I can do passive aggressive better than you).
- I get free tickets to Warped Tour now, right?
- Finding someone else to update my blog for me.
I made it, Ma! Now I should probably sit down and explain Twitter to you.
Hearing through the grapevine (the immigration lawyer grapevine, to be exact) that there is a draft of an executive order which adds the following countries to the current ban:
- Southern Philippines
- Trans-Sahara (Mali)
- Sulu/Sulawesi Seas Littoral
Rumor is that this executive order is to be given tomorrow. It is uncertain whether this will affect green-card holders (as in, permanent residents who have already been extremely vetted) and dual citizens. The last executive order did/does not apply to dual citizens who hold US citizenship, but no word on whether this one will be the same. (This is of particular importance to my family and me, as most of us are dual citizens of the United States and Pakistan.)
Note that a few of these are not Muslim-majority areas (the Southern Phillipines do have a sizeable Muslim population, however). I’m not sure whether this is specifically designed to make it seem as though this is not targeting Muslims, but Rudy Giuliani has already confirmed for us that a ban on Muslims has always been Trump and his administration’s intent. There is also the fact that the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv has assured Israel that its (Jewish) citizens holding dual nationality with one of the banned countries would be exempt.
I hope these rumors are mistaken. But as my fiancé just noted, “it’s starting to feel like Trump just executed Order 66.” | <urn:uuid:c25ec5c6-bb59-4a17-bc4b-741c474a96b3> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | https://syjil.com/tag/politics/ | 2018-08-14T19:41:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221209562.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20180814185903-20180814205903-00292.warc.gz | en | 0.950664 | 585 |
Markets enjoyed back-to-back gains as hopes of coordinated action by central banks boosted investor sentiment all through the day on Friday. G20 sources said central banks might be ready to step in to provide liquidity after gauging the consequences of the Greek elections. Additionally, the Bank of England also talked about providing liquidity to the economy. These catalysts took the upper hand over any apprehensions ahead of the crucial Greek vote, and eventually benchmarks also enjoyed two consecutive weeks of gains.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) soared 115.26 points or 0.9% to finish at 12,767.17. The Standard & Poor 500 (S&P 500) inched up a percent to close 13.74 points higher at 1,342.84. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 1.3% and ended yesterday’s trading session at 2,872.80. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) dropped 2.6% and settled at 21.11. The Street had a busy day with consolidated volumes on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq at roughly 7.5 billion shares, well above this year’s daily average of 6.84 billion. Advancers outpaced the decliners, as for every stock that declined on the NYSE, more than a couple of stocks moved up.
The Dow not only registered back-to-back finishes, the blue-chip index also registered triple-digit gains on both these days. However, only five of the 30 Dow components had to close in the red with The Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:HD) being the biggest loser registering only a 0.6% decline. As for the remaining 25 components or the gainers, American Express Company (NYSE:AXP), Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC), Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX), International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) led the advancers as they jumped 2.2%, 3.1%, 2.4%, 2.1% and 2.3%, respectively.
Back-to-back gains were not only restricted to Friday’s session, but the indices also registered consecutive weekly gains. The week ending June 8th had seen the benchmarks recording their best weekly gains this year. Those gains were perfectly backed up by another weekly gain this time. The Dow, S&P 500 and the Nasdaq jumped 1.7%, 1.3% and 0.5%, respectively, for the week.
The benchmarks did had a volatile run through the week. However, gains on the final two days of the week ensured a winning finish. The fear-gauge index also reflected the volatility, as it swung between a red and green finish through last week, except for the final two days. The VIX gained on Monday, dropped on Tuesday and again moved up on Wednesday, before moving down on the last two days. The 5-day change for the VIX stands at a mere negative 0.6%.
Gains on the last two days, were largely result of hopes for fresh economic stimulus that lifted the benchmarks. According to a report on Thursday, G20 officials said central banks across the globe were ready to provide liquidity following the results of the Greek elections. Reuters quoted a G20 aide as saying that: "The central banks are preparing for coordinated action to provide liquidity". The report came in late on Thursday and instantly caused a steep rise in benchmarks. The momentum carried over into Friday, as investors grew increasingly hopeful about fresh monetary stimulus which would help stabilize the flagging economy.
The report came at a time when certain U.S. Fed presidents have been providing optimism to investors, speaking about the possibility of fresh monetary stimulus. Chicago Federal Reserve Bank President Charles Evans and the Atlanta and San Francisco Fed presidents have been speaking about injecting more liquidity into the system. However, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke did not say anything definite on monetary policy during his last congressional testimony.
Nonetheless, news from across the Atlantic helped boost the benchmarks after European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi said the bank is ready to support the region’s banking system. Draghi said: "The eurosystem will continue to supply liquidity to solvent banks where needed". The Group of 20 (G20) is to meet very soon, and Draghi’s comments came just ahead of this. Separately, UK Chancellor George Osborne along with Bank of England Governor Sir Mervyn King announced a near £100 billion financial plan to boost the economy. Osborne acknowledged the need to “deploy new firepower” and that the Bank of England was to start providing loans at a cheaper rate.
On the domestic front, these positives helped the financial sector end decently higher. The Financial Select Sector SPDR (XLF) jumped 1.5% and stocks including Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C), Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:GS), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) and UBS AG (USA) (NYSE:UBS) gained 1.4%, 2.0%, 2.7% and 2.2%, respectively.
However, domestic economic readings were far from encouraging. The Empire State Manufacturing Survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York noted a downtrend. The report stated: “The general business conditions index fell fifteen points, but remained positive at 2.3. The new orders index declined six points to 2.2, and the shipments index fell a steep nineteen points to 4.8”. However, the report noted: “The June Empire State Manufacturing Survey indicates that manufacturing activity expanded slightly over the month”. Separately, a report by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System reported that industrial production dropped 0.1% in May. Further, the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index dropped significantly to 74.1 in early June from 79.3 in May 77.8 in early May. | <urn:uuid:afac2829-711b-4b4c-88aa-1d2aaadcbc47> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://www.zacks.com/stock/news/77155/stock-market-news-for-june-18-2012 | 2015-03-27T02:08:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131293580.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172133-00115-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959166 | 1,236 |
Madness was with the Europeans who colonised New South Wales from the start: sailors, convicts, soldiers, and free men and women. Join the Moruya and District Historical Society as they host Dr James Dunk for this Speaker Connect talk.
Dr Dunk’s talk will explore the strangeness of the colony through the strange ways it dealt with madness: locking up convicts in an open gaol, because they were ill, and confining free colonists in a place where freedom was definitive. It charts the development of lunatic asylums and lunacy law within a climate of suspicion of illness, and the political sensitivity of madness in both convict and free populations.

A new study by dating agency Meetic, part of Match.com, shows that Norwegian men are the biggest "sjarmører" in the continent, with 74 percent claiming at least one lucky lady had fallen into their love trap during the sweltering summer months.
Spaniards and Italians followed closely behind, with 65 and 61 percent enjoying a summer romance respectively.
"A sense of humour is key for a summer relationship to live on," says María Garay, Dating coach at Meetic.
Dare we say this might be a reason why German singles are at the bottom of the table, with only 27 percent of men saying they’d had a holiday romance in the past.
In any case, Meetic’s study found that most relationships don’t live on into the autumn, with a mere 13 percent reaching the six-month mark and an even lower 11 percent lasting a full year. | <urn:uuid:b946445c-fcc8-4304-a113-abcb4f07eff1> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | https://www.thelocal.no/20130801/norwegian-men-come-top-for-summer-loving | 2018-10-18T00:27:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583511365.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20181018001031-20181018022531-00403.warc.gz | en | 0.956374 | 192 |

It’s been suggested that Raf Simons had inadvertently launch a minor trend: the day Victorian nightdress, specifically those shown at Dior’s spring/summer 2015 collection. These were not, contrary to its popular description, frumpy bedroom clothes; these were sensational and ‘pure’ enough that the Bennet sisters would have worn them, even in the earlier Regency Period, to the suitors-awaiting Netherfield Ball.
It is, however, not clear how well these Dior dresses fared since no figures were released. More significantly, they weren’t considered the epitome of modernity or sexiness in a time when so much fabric for a single outfit is contrary to the less-is-more preference of women with ample not to conceal. Still, the trend prevails for yet another spring/summer season and we’re quite happy that it has. One of these outdoor-ready night gowns that we find positively charming is the above by Miu Miu.
Prada’s sister line (not diffusion, we should add) has always approached fashion as wackily as their fan base allows. No period, no occasion, or the suitability to either is off limits. It is not surprising then that some form of a nightdress should appear since Miu Miu is no stranger to house clothes as out-and-about attire.
The lace-trimmed ruffles caught our eye. While they may be associated with spinsterhood-bound women, the ruffles, in a V-formation that seems to underscore the high neck, are, in fact, off-beat romantic in a way that Chloe Sevigny would appreciate. And there’s the print: drawing of lit candles that clearly had been burning for hours, adding to the whole night clothes spiel. Rather Florence Nightingale, we thought. Or, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Things get a little tricky in the silhouette of this viscose dress, which the cheery salesgirl in the Miu Miu boutique was keen to point out, is based on the “boyfriend cut”. We assumed she meant “boyfriend shirt” but we’ll take her word for it. There’s nothing wrong with the roominess. It’s rather refreshing given the excess of body-con dresses on social media. However, for most women, used to emphasising the waist, presented with a tented (read: maternity) dress such as this may be like putting a cart before the horse.

Springfield tattoo artist Styx Killion can see positives from a newly implemented state law that lets donors give blood shortly after getting new tattoos or piercings. The law allows people with body art from businesses inspected by state or local health officials to skip the year-long waiting period for donating blood.
Springfield tattoo artist Styx Killion can see positives from a newly implemented state law that lets donors give blood shortly after getting new tattoos or piercings.
"I'm ok with it, as long as the shops are regulated properly," said Killion, owner of Styx Unlimited Tattoo Emporium.
He's not alone.
The law allows people with body art from businesses inspected by state or local health officials to skip the year-long waiting period for donating blood.
Margaret Vaughn with the state Coalition of Community Blood Centers said Wednesday that law became effective in July 2007. But it wasn't enforced until last summer when the state Public Health Department finished writing inspection codes for body art shops.
So far, Vaughn said, 226 tattoo parlors have been inspected since the effort began last August. She said the law applies to people who got body art on or after January 1, 2010.
Before the law became effective, Vaughn said, blood banks statewide were turning away about 150 eligible donors each day.
"We rely very heavily on the college and the high school campuses," she said. "That was a top concern at blood drives was that we were turning people away."
Rep. Patricia Bellock, R-Hinsdale, sponsored the legislation. She said the law also assures people that a licensed body art shop is safe.
Killion hopes the effort will crack down on tattoo shop owners who put people at risk of catching diseases by violating state health codes.
"I'm sure if they inspected more places, there would be some that would be shut down," he said.
Killion said his shop has not been inspected. He requires all body artists to wear gloves and sterilize needles and other equipment before they are used.
"If (people) get a tattoo here, they're definitely safe to give blood," Killion said.
Matt Carnduff, 20, of Springfield said he donated blood six months ago at Lincoln Land Community College. Carnduff, who was getting his first tattoo at the Styx shop Tuesday, agreed that donors with new body art should be able to give blood without waiting, if the shop was properly inspected.
Tattoo parlors must pay a $1,000 fee each year for the inspections.
John Guidroz can be reached at (217) 782-6882 or email@example.com.
A look at what you need to know to give blood.
_Those with new tattoos and piercings can donate as long as the shop where they received the marking is inspected and registered with the state.
_Eligible donors must be at least 17 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in generally good health.
_Those who are pregnant or have tested positive for HIV, AIDS or hepatitis cannot donate blood.
_Blood donors must wait 56 days before giving blood again. Donors can give blood up to six times a year. | <urn:uuid:5bc1ab6d-967e-4d6b-9e48-0dd4f691933b> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://www.thesuburbanite.com/x723442612/Newly-enacted-law-removes-blood-donation-waiting-period-for-customers-of-inspected-tattoo-shops | 2018-03-23T20:46:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257648594.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20180323200519-20180323220519-00402.warc.gz | en | 0.97137 | 672 |

Supremely silky and incredibly warm, our elegant range of cashmere blankets are the ultimate home luxury.
Cashmere blankets and throws
Why invest in a cashmere blanket?
Silky soft, incredibly warm, and absolutely gorgeous, cashmere blankets and cashmere throws are the ultimate luxury home accessory. Whether you’re shopping for a pure cashmere blanket or cashmere throw for yourself or you’re looking for a cashmere blanket or cashmere throw as the perfect gift, there’s no looking past sumptuous, pure cashmere as an option for your home.
Cashmere is one of the finest fibres on the planet. Each of the fibres in a cashmere blanket or cashmere throw is super fine and silky to the touch, when high-grade cashmere is woven, the result is an intensely soft, silky, lightweight fabric that is perfect for a luxury cashmere blanket or cashmere throw, and even soft enough for use as baby blankets.
What makes a cashmere blanket so warm?
A pure cashmere blanket or pure cashmere throw will provide unbelievable warmth thanks to its special heating and temperature-regulating properties. These luxury cashmere blankets or cashmere throws can be up to eight times warmer than sheep’s wool and much cosier than cotton, thanks to their hollow fibres, whilst weighing a fraction of a wool blanket in the same size. These qualities make this material perfect for a cashmere blanket or cashmere throw, as well as a winter accessory or wrapped around you as a pashmina – pure cashmere in any form is guaranteed to keep you luxuriously warm and cosy!
Styling cashmere throws
The finesse of a pure cashmere fibre means that it possesses a natural, lustrous sheen, so doesn’t require adornment or bells and whistles to make it look naturally beautiful as a pure, luxurious cashmere blanket or cashmere throw. Even though your cashmere blanket or cashmere throw can be left undyed, and you can find beautiful natural weaves in creams, browns and greys, the nature of the fibre also allows it to be dyed with both subtle and vibrant colors – so there’s bound to be a style to suit your home: try a luxurious sky blue cashmere throw or blanket, a warm and inviting pink cashmere throw or blanket, or a cashmere throw or cashmere blanket in Nordic-inspired grey.
Cashmere throws and cashmere wool blankets can be woven in chunky finishes similar to a chunky-knit blanket, in basket weaves, or in jacquard styles with fringing for a more traditional look. The fine cashmere woollen yarns are perfect for intricate weaves, too: many of the styles in our collections are created using a jacquard weave, which produces subtle and timeless patterns for your cashmere blanket or cashmere throw that work well in every type of interior style.
Where can I use my cashmere blankets and cashmere throws?
Because it’s so soft, warm, and stylish, you can use your cashmere blanket or cashmere throw in any room in the home, or even as a wool blanket or oversized pashmina to cover your shoulders when sitting outdoors on cold winter nights.
In the bedroom, drape a luxurious cashmere blanket or cashmere throw over the bed for an extra cosy layer in winter. In the living room, when used in place of a regular wool blanket, pure cashmere blankets or cashmere throws add a touch of elegance to the room. Because it’s a timeless fabric, pure cashmere won’t go out of fashion as the trends (or seasons) change; no matter the weather or the look of the day, a pure cashmere blanket or throw is an investment that will look gorgeous and luxurious with all of your furniture year after year.
Whether your space demands a light, silky pink cashmere throw or cashmere blanket, a serene blue cashmere throw or cashmere blanket, or a grey cashmere throw or cashmere blanket for a more muted look with a Scandinavian-inspired palette, a pure cashmere blanket or cashmere throw in any color is a home textile that’s sure to enrich your space, whatever the season. It’s possible to use your cashmere throw in the living room for snuggling up on the couch, or in the garden for an extra warm, luxurious layer.
Cashmere blanket blends
If a 100% pure cashmere blanket or cashmere throw is a little out of your budget, you can still enjoy the softness and warmth by investing in a cashmere blend blanket. There are a few options available, but the most common are wool-cashmere blends and alpaca-cashmere blends.
These designs are usually made with around 30-50% cashmere, which elevates the overall finish to something luxurious and soft, even when it's not a 100% pure cashmere product. You will feel the difference in comparison with a regular wool blanket; cashmere blankets and cashmere throws, even if they’re a cashmere blend and not pure cashmere, are still silky soft pieces, which will last season after season. A cashmere throw or blanket is still a good option for your home, and if your budget only stretches to a cashmere blend throw or blanket and not a pure cashmere blanket or pure cashmere throw, even this blend will still lend a silky soft accent of luxury to your living space.

DeFunkt Calls: Written and Video Android App Review
One of the things we hate the absolute most about our Android phone is the fact that we get nothing but a solitary beep whenever a call is dropped. This irritates us to no end, as we’re never quite sure if we’re at fault, if our phone is acting up, or something in-between. Thankfully, though we can now use DeFunkt Calls by developer HTZ. The app saves us the need of having to worry about whether a call was dropped, or stopped intentionally. And it does all of this using a friendly, pre-programmed voice, too! So if your curiosity has been piqued, head on down below the break to view our whole thought on this killer app.
Concept and Functionality
The idea behind DeFunkt Calls is really quite simple. You see, on almost all Android phones (at least the ones we’ve had access to over the years) the phone doesn’t actually let you know when a call has been dropped. Instead, it simply plays the same tone that occurs when a call ends. Because of this, Android phone owners are never quite sure if the call was in fact dropped, ended for other reasons, or something somewhere in the middle. This is a mind-numbingly aggravating way to do things, and all of it has been solved by DeFunkt Calls.
The app is simple. It delivers a verbal message saying “Your call has been dropped” whenever that is indeed the case. You can also pre-program the phone to vibrate instead, set to a specific intensity as defined by you the user. In this way, you’ll never again have to worry about a dropped call—except for those calls that really weren’t dropped. We can’t, as of yet, help you out of that pickle.
Design and Interface
Thankfully, the app looks pretty good on the Android platform, too. It’s extremely simple, and to be honest, there’s hardly enough real estate here to complain about. The app comes with a simple on and off switch, as well as an easy tab that takes you to the voices menu. From here you can select from several different languages, as well as several different accents. The same home menu also produces a pop-up for vibration intensity and sound intensity, if you’d like to modify either of those. All in all, it looks slick, it works like a champ, and it’s completely unobtrusive. In our eyes, that’s a winning combination all the way around.
The app does cost a solid two bucks in the Android Market, which might just be too high for some of our users. Sure, it’s nice to know exactly when your calls have been dropped, but is it two bucks worthy? In our eyes, it is. However, we still would have liked to see the app priced at the always comfortable $0.99. Still, it’s worth every penny, and we can’t help but recommend the app for what it is.
Android Apps Review Details: DeFunkt Calls is $1.99. This app requires Android 2.2+ and up. You may download DeFunkt Calls from the Android Market. A small expedite fee was paid by the developer to speed up the publication of this review.

“Good Service but would have been nice to have more communication during the sale process.
Glad I had contact with vendor myself so sale went though without any problems.
I had to make several calls to make communication between all parties work swiftly...”
“Very efficient and painless process. Two potential buyers were found very quickly, one of whom has already exchanged. My 89 year old mother who was selling her house was treated with the utmost respect, sensitivity and kindness by everyone at Laing Bennett.”
“Nothing was too much trouble for them. At times working beyond closing time if my viewing ran over. Normally knew answers to any questions I had but on the rare occasion they didn't they found out immediately. I would highly recommend this firm. A very big Thank you to Jessica and Sophia.”
“I purchased a property that was marketed with Laing Bennett. They kept me informed throughout the process and chased relevant parties when needed to ensure a swift transaction and all staff were friendly and helpful. They even gave me a bottle of Prosecco on completion day to celebrate my new home, a greatly appreciated gesture and another level in customer service. Thank you!”
“Mr Laing, I cannot thank the whole experience enough. Finally made me happy again after a previous bad experience. I would also like to extend my appreciation to a lady called Julie who guided us nicely through the whole process , she could not have been better in any way. She was straight, clear and totally understanding from both ends of the tenancy terms. What an absolute diamond of a lady who deserves all credit she receives in life , thank you to everyone at Laing Bennett. Couldn’t rate you guys higher !”
“Bill Laing Bennett took charge at the start explaining all procedures clearly and from then on, Jessica and Sofia ran the agency project throughout in a cheerful, friendly way. We never felt "left out" and always kept informed.
We would highly recommend Laing Bennet as an Estate Agency. What would be the purpose of going elsewhere!?”
“I have been perfectly happy with the service I have received and would like to especially mention Rachael and Sharon for their tireless work in some difficult times, happily we have got there I the end.”
“I cannot praise the staff at Laing Bennett highly enough. From start to finish they have been excellent, they have kept me informed of the sales progress and if they say they are going to ring you back they do. Rachel has gone above and beyond to get the sale through even taking photos for me of the twig in the garage !!”
“Can’t thank the team enough from the first viewings with their patience to the final completion day, their support, professionalism, honesty and kindness during what can be very stressful times, has been wonderful. Would highly recommend them.”
“Excellent attention to detail right for day one, nothing was too much trouble for Sophia, Bill and the rest of the team. I only wish we had started with Lang Bennett from the start of our house selling journey and didn't try all those internet based companies. If you want to sell your house listen to their advice and pick Lang Bennett. We only wish we could give more than 5 stars.” | <urn:uuid:27b3af86-6fb1-4222-a1bf-6c33707612c3> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.reviews.io/company-reviews/store/laingbennett-co-uk/3 | 2022-09-30T02:42:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335424.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220930020521-20220930050521-00036.warc.gz | en | 0.984624 | 687 |
How do artist residencies, Curiosity Camps for entrepreneurs, and state-of-the-art maker studios contribute to companies and their creative capital, and what do the artists get in return? Are artists mere window-dressing for modern tech giants?
Hear from leaders at Facebook, Autodesk and Innovation Endeavors VC fund about their new approaches to bringing artists and professionals together as equals in the modern workplace.
Featuring Drew Bennett, Facebook; Vanessa Sigurdson, Autodesk, Pier 9; Celestine Johnson, Innovation Partner at Innovation Endeavors –Venture Fund/ Venture Creation; and Cristina Tcheyen, Google’s GoArt Program.
Moderated by Wendi Norris, President of the San Francisco Art Dealers Association and owner of Gallery Wendi Norris.
With over a decade of experience in 3D design and digital fabrication, Vanessa has worked with artists and fabrication companies worldwide to combine new technologies with traditional art making workflows. At Autodesk’s Pier 9 Artist in Residence Program, Vanessa encourages a supportive community of artists to explore new methods of creating their work that are then shared with the art and maker community. By pushing software and tooling beyond their conventional applications, her clan of wacky and diverse artists are re-inventing the word ‘craft’ and changing how we look at art today.
Since 2003, Ms. Norris has presented a compelling contemporary and modern gallery program and she has worked with over one hundred of the top museums around the world on acquisitions and exhibitions. Ms. Norris has been the primary gallerist building the markets of Dorothea Tanning and Leonora Tanning to surpass record sales, breaking the $1 million mark at auction, a threshold previously reached by few female artists. Recently, Ms. Norris has been collaborating with San Francisco Bay Area developers to create a stronger public art presence in the region and she has been hired by notable development projects in San Francisco, including for Salesforce Tower. Upon completion, the tower will be the tallest building in the Western United States. Presently Ms. Norris is President of the San Francisco Art Dealers Association. Recently she spoke about public art at SPUR, a non‐profit, civic planning organization, and she participated as key speaker on a Berkeley Art Museum panel advising museums on collecting contemporary Asian Art Ms. Norris founded the biennial San Francisco Artist Award in 2010, given to a Bay Area artist whose career could be markedly changed when given the opportunity and support to exhibit at a gallery.
Drew Bennett is an artist, designer, and curator who designed the Facebook Artist in Residence (or FB AIR) program in 2012 with the founders of the Facebook Analog Research Lab, Ben Barry and Everett Katigbat. For the last two years Drew has directed this program which has supported over 30 engagement-based art making experiences for local emerging artists within Facebook’s headquarters.
Celestine Johnson is one of the youngest female partners in venture capital. At Innovation Endeavors, she backs interesting renegades solving big market problems that affect the world. Celestine also creates innovation programs and builds community to support global entrepreneurs and spark emergent innovation ecosystems. She has founded and scaled some of the most innovative and impactful initiatives coming out of Silicon Valley, including National Day of Civic Hacking with the White House & NASA, Super Happy Block Party, and Curiosity Camp – the secret retreat for the world’s top innovators. Celestine serves as an Innovation Advisory Board Member to British Airways and is behind the Ungrounded Program. She advises ZeeMee and the GAFTA Cultural Incubator. Before Innovation Endeavors, she worked in human rights and environmental compliance at Apple. In her prior life, she spent a year as an adventure capitalist to pursue her bucket list. She walked across Spain and was a monk in a monastery.

Working out can really bite sometimes. Am I right? It’s repetitive, boring, and takes forever, or at least it feels like it does. However, tight jeans and a climbing scale bite, too. Is there a remedy? Is there a happy place where working out doesn’t irritate AND you aren’t resigned to a life in your “fat jeans?” It’s possible, if you’re willing to go off the grid a bit and find some activities that might not look like exercise at first. There are plenty of non-traditional fitness routines that might just be where your happy place resides.
Pole dancing, roller derby, and Capoeira are really just the tip of the alternative workout iceberg. There are lots of ways to stay fit without having to just run on a machine that goes nowhere. Active living can be rewritten; it no longer has to stay in the gym. Find your happy place, do something you love, enjoy your workout, and get in those skinny jeans! | <urn:uuid:5e856310-d562-4030-bc95-ec92b60dad0e> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://www.dietsinreview.com/diet_column/10/7-non-traditional-workouts-that-make-exercise-anything-but-typical/ | 2017-12-18T12:43:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948616132.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20171218122309-20171218144309-00122.warc.gz | en | 0.945951 | 213 |
Tom Cruise and Henry Cavill take flight in the new clip from Mission: Impossible – Fallout. There’s not a whole lot of context here, but you don’t really need it to enjoy Ethan Hunt and newcomer August Walker jumping out of the back of a plane at ridiculous altitudes in order to land, presumably safe and sound, in Paris.
Christopher McQuarrie‘s Mission: Impossible – Fallout also stars Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, Sean Harris, Angela Bassett, Vanessa Kirby, Michelle Monaghan, Alec Baldwin, Wes Bentley, and Frederick Schmidt. Look for it in theaters on July 27th.
Check out the clip below:
And here’s a bonus behind-the-scenes featurette that explores the team and their chemistry:
Here’s the official synopsis for Mission: Impossible – Fallout:
The best intentions often come back to haunt you. Mission: Impossible – Fallout finds Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team (Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames) along with some familiar allies (Rebecca Ferguson, Michelle Monaghan) in a race against time after a mission gone wrong. Henry Cavill, Angela Bassett, and Vanessa Kirby also join the dynamic cast with filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie returning to the helm. | <urn:uuid:9302cd7c-ed36-4446-874c-eb5129a5b74b> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://movizark.com/2018/07/11/mission-impossible-fallout-new-clip-from-sees-tom-cruise-diving-check-it-out/ | 2018-09-21T02:16:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267156724.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20180921013907-20180921034307-00204.warc.gz | en | 0.875782 | 275 |

Miley Cyrus, singer and former Disney Channel star, knows how to attract attention. But one of her most recent Instagram posts isn't attracting the good kind.
Cyrus posted a photo of a new tattoo that she describes as "lilbbjupiter."
The only problem? That's not Jupiter.
This is Jupiter:
What Cyrus has on her arm is Saturn. Just look at those distinctive rings:
Maybe she meant to type "lilbbsaturn."

U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., today said she’ll vote to confirm former judge Michael Mukasey as Attorney General, having been satisfied by his answers on topics from presidential privileges to whether “waterboarding” is illegal torture. “Our nation needs a strong and independent Attorney General, and I believe that Judge Mukasey will rise to the challenge,” Feinstein said.
Read her full statement, after the jump…
“I will vote to confirm Michael Mukasey to be our next Attorney General.
First and foremost, Michael Mukasey is not Alberto Gonzales. Rather, he has forged an independent life path as a practitioner of the law and a federal judge in the Southern District of New York.
In this capacity, he has presided over 1,600 cases over 19 years.
He has developed extensive experience on national security issues.
And he has presided over a dozen national security cases – including United States v. Rahman (1994), Padilla v. Bush (2002), and In re Application of the United States for a Material Witness Warrant (2002) — and 10 defendants from the Rahman case were given prison sentences ranging from 25 years to life.
Judge Mukasey’s answers to hundreds of questions, both in our confirmation hearing and in writing, were crisp and succinct, and demonstrated a strong, informed, and independent mind.
I truly believe he will be a strong Attorney General and will represent the best interests of the American people.
The Justice Department is in desperate need of effective leadership. The Department is leaderless, and 10 of its top positions are vacant. Morale among U.S. Attorneys needs to be restored, priorities reassessed, and a new dynamic of independence from the White House forged.
I believe that Judge Mukasey is the best we will get and voting him down would only perpetuate acting and recess appointments, allowing the Administration to avoid the transparency that confirmation hearings provide and diminish effective oversight by Congress.
Yet, serious questions have been raised about Judge Mukasey’s views on torture and on separation of powers. These are important questions.
Regarding torture, Judge Mukasey clearly expressed his personal repugnance in the hearing. And in a letter of October 30, 2007, he reiterated his personal views and described in detail the analysis he would undertake if confirmed. He wrote:
‘I understand also the importance of the United States remaining a nation of laws and setting a high standard of respect for human rights. Indeed, I said at the hearing that torture violates the law and the Constitution, and the President may not authorize it as he is no less bound by constitutional restrictions than any other government official.
I was asked at the hearing and in your letter questions about the hypothetical use of certain coercive interrogation techniques. As described in your letter, these techniques seem over the line or, on a personal basis, repugnant to me, and would probably seem the same to many Americans. But hypotheticals are different from real life, and in any legal opinion the actual facts and circumstances are critical.’
Specifically, on the subject of ‘waterboarding,’ Judge Mukasey wrote:
‘I do know…that ‘waterboarding’ cannot be used by the United States military because its use by the military would be a clear violation of the Detainee Treatment Act (‘DTA’). That is because ‘waterboarding’ and certain other coercive interrogation techniques are expressly prohibited by the Army Field Manual on Intelligence Interrogation, and Congress specifically legislated in the DTA that no person in the custody or control of the Department of Defense (DOD) or held in a DOD facility may be subject to any interrogation techniques not authorized and listed in the manual.’
As Judge Mukasey wrote, ‘waterboarding’ is clearly against the law for the American military. ‘Waterboarding’ is clearly prohibited by the Convention Against Torture and the Geneva Conventions. It was again prohibited by the Detainee Treatment Act, which only covers military interrogations.
Congress should go further and explicitly ban ‘waterboarding’ and other so-called enhanced interrogation techniques for all parts of the government.
Both Senators Kennedy and Biden have introduced legislation to this effect.
I believe we should put one of those bills in the FISA legislation now under consideration in the Judiciary Committee. Once this law is enacted, the Attorney General would be required to enforce it, and Judge Mukasey’s answers give every reason to believe that he would.
Yet, I believe that if he is confirmed, after he has had an opportunity to review the legal opinions and form his own views, that the Judiciary Committee should ask Judge Mukasey back and discuss this issue further.
Finally, I do not believe a President can be ‘above the law,’ and neither does Judge Mukasey. In addition Judge Mukasey explained that his view on executive power is based on a Youngstown analysis (Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company v. Sawyer 1952). Justice Jackson wrote in Youngstown that the President’s power is greatest when he is backed by a statute, and at its lowest ebb when his actions conflict with a statute. But that framework does not provide a final answer to every dispute that arises between the branches. Instead, some disagreements between the branches must eventually be resolved by the Judiciary.
Bottom line: I hope that Judge Mukasey will fairly and even-handedly represent the American people, and direct the Department wherever the facts and the law lead, not where the White House dictates.
Our nation needs a strong and independent Attorney General, and I believe that Judge Mukasey will rise to the challenge.” | <urn:uuid:ca800700-b4ad-4dee-bbd8-1e282a132cd9> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.ibabuzz.com/politics/2007/11/02/difi-supports-mukasey-for-attorney-general/ | 2013-05-20T22:40:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699273641/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516101433-00075-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963944 | 1,188 |

Can washing machines be used in freezing weather? If this question has crossed your mind as winter approaches, you’re not alone.
Using a washing machine in cold weather can be a tricky affair.
The plummeting temperatures can lead to a variety of issues, including frozen washing machine components and water damage, which can result in expensive repairs.
In this blog post, we’ll go through the complexities of operating your laundry appliance in freezing conditions, along with offering some honest practical tips to safeguard your investment.
While it is generally possible to use a washing machine in freezing weather, there are some precautions you should take to protect your washing machine from freezing and avoid costly mishaps.
Table of Contents
How Cold Weather Can Damage Your Washing Machine?
Freezing temperatures can have a fatal impact on various components of your washing machine.
The water inlet valve, responsible for controlling the flow of water into the machine, can freeze and crack.
Similarly, the pump, which circulates water during the wash cycle, is also susceptible to freezing, leading to malfunction or even breakage.
The hoses that connect the machine to the water supply can freeze as well, causing them to burst or leak.
In simple words, a frozen washing machine can lead to a host of problems, the most immediate being water damage.
When components like the water valve or hoses crack, they can leak, causing water to pool around the machine and potentially damage your home.
This often results in expensive repairs not just for the appliance but also for any water-damaged areas.
Moreover, the stagnant water can lead to mold growth, posing health risks and further complicating the repair process.
The Role of Temperature in Washing Cycles
Temperature plays a pivotal role in the effectiveness of your washing cycle.
Most washing machines recommend a wash at 40 degrees Celsius for optimal cleaning.
However, different materials may require varying temperatures for superior results.
Understanding the right temperature for each fabric is simpler than you might think, and it becomes even more critical during cold weather.
How to Use a Washing Machine in Freezing Weather?
Using a washing machine in freezing temperatures can be a daunting task, but it’s entirely doable with the right precautions.
Here are some tips to help you deal with freezing-related challenges:
Winterize Your Washing Machine
Before winter sets in, it’s crucial to winterize your washing machine.
Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines, which often include draining any remaining water to prevent freezing and subsequent damage.
Insulate the Space
If your washing machine is in an unheated area like a garage or basement, consider insulating the space.
Insulation will help maintain a more stable temperature, reducing the risk of washing machine freeze damage.
Keep the Room Warm
Whenever possible, keep the room where your washing machine is located above freezing temperatures.
This is one of the most effective cold-weather washing machine tips to prevent freezing.
Use Antifreeze settings and solutions
Make use of antifreeze solutions like RV antifreeze and some washing machines also come with antifreeze settings or features.
Check your user manual to see if this is an option for your model.
Ensure your laundry appliance is in good working condition.
Cold weather can exacerbate existing issues, making regular maintenance vital.
Monitor for Freezing
Keep an eye on the weather forecast and regularly check your washing machine for signs of freezing, such as ice buildup or unusual noises.
During extreme cold snaps, try to limit the use of your washing machine to reduce the risk of freezing and prevent washing machine freeze damage.
How to Protect Your Washing Machine in Cold Weather?
Protecting your washing machine in cold weather is essential to avoid any unwanted issues.
Here are some specific tips to help you keep your machine in optimal condition:
Insulate the Water Hoses
The hoses are particularly vulnerable to freezing. Insulating them can provide an extra layer of protection against the cold, reducing the risk of cracks or leaks.
Disconnect the Water Hoses
When the machine is not in use, especially for extended periods, consider disconnecting the water hoses.
This can prevent any residual water from freezing inside them.
Run a Warm Water Cycle
Before washing a load in extremely cold weather, run a warm water cycle.
This can help in warming up the machine’s components and reducing the risk of freezing.
Leave the Door Open Slightly
To prevent moisture from building up inside, leave the washing machine door open slightly.
This can help in reducing the chances of mold growth and ice formation.
Additional Protection for Unheated Spaces
If your washing machine is located in an unheated space like a garage or basement, you may need to take extra precautions.
Wrapping the machine in a blanket or using a space heater can help maintain a more stable temperature, offering additional protection against freezing.
By implementing these simple yet effective tips, you can protect your washing machine from freezing and ensure its longevity, even in the harshest of winters.
What to Do if Your Washing Machine Freezes?
If you find that your washing machine has frozen, it’s crucial to act quickly to minimize further damage.
Here are the steps you should take immediately if your washer has frozen:
Turn Off the Water Supply and Unplug
The first step is to turn off the water supply to the washing machine.
Also, unplug it from the electrical outlet to ensure safety while you deal with the issue.
Allow Natural Thawing
Let the washing machine thaw naturally at room temperature.
It’s important not to use hot water or a hair dryer to speed up the process, as this could cause additional damage to the machine.
Inspect for Damage
Once the washing machine has thawed completely, inspect it for any signs of damage.
Check the water valve, pump, and hoses for cracks or leaks.
Contact a Repair Technician
If you find any damage, it’s advisable to contact a qualified appliance repair technician for frozen washing machine repair.
Attempting to fix it yourself could void the warranty or lead to more severe issues.
By following these easy-to-follow and simple steps, you can mitigate the impact of a frozen washing machine and take appropriate action to get it back in working condition.
Proactive Measures to Protect Your Washing Machine in Freezing Temperatures
Drain All Water
The most effective way to prevent frost damage is to drain all water from the machine.
Disconnect the water supply lines and run a spin cycle to remove as much water as possible.
For a thorough job, use compressed air to blow out the lines and hand-dry the tub’s interior.
Use Hot Water Intermittently
When the temperature inside the washing machine falls below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the water begins to freeze and expand.
This expansion can cause components like pumps and hoses to rupture, leading to leaks and significant damage.
So, if you use your washing machine daily, run hot water intermittently to prevent ice formation.
Turn the water setting to “hot” and run the machine even when you don’t have laundry to wash.
Keep the Faucet Dripping
A dripping faucet can prevent the pipe from freezing.
This constant water flow relieves water pressure and keeps the water from freezing in the pipes, including those connected to your washing machine.
Turn Off the Water Supply
If you’re going to be away for an extended period, make sure to turn off the water supply to your washing machine to prevent any freezing.
While it is generally possible to use a washing machine in freezing weather, taking the right precautions can save you from a host of problems, including water damage, expensive repairs, and even health risks from mold growth.
As winter approaches, don’t forget to winterize your washing machine and follow the tips outlined in this article to protect your washing machine from freezing.
If you do encounter a frozen washing machine, act quickly and consult a qualified technician for repairs.
By being proactive and informed, you can ensure that your laundry routine remains uninterrupted, even in the coldest of winters.

Bagabandhu National Stadium is situated in the north of the capital city of Dhaka. The site of Pakistan?s first test match in 1955, it hosted seven matches while the region was under Pakistani rule. The local fans had to wait from 1969 until 1988 until an international match was played here when Bangladesh hosted the third Asian Cup, but after another decade of only domestic competition it once again hosted an international tournament that celebrated 25 years since the end of Pakistani rule.
The stadium is named after the 'father' of the country, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. It is Bangladesh's major ground and houses the Bangladesh Cricket Board. There were major renovations in the build up to the 1998 Willis International Cup including an electronic scoreboard, media centre and floodlights. The stadium is also used for football (soccer), and with a purpose-built cricket stadium being built on the outskirts of the city, it was taken out of commission as a cricket venue at the end of the 2004-05 season and handed over to the national football team. | <urn:uuid:1608d096-8b5d-419f-bcc8-25d944255a6f> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.thatscricket.com/news/2000/01/01/dhaka-bangabandhu.html | 2016-10-22T07:08:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718840.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00052-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975409 | 211 |
If you aren’t working in media, or spending all your free time surfing TechCrunch, chances are that you didn’t notice when the world went from web 1.0 to web 2.0. After all, consumers are still using an Internet browser to access web pages, web pages look the same, and they still take the same time to load (and sometimes longer). What you may have noticed is that almost every site features some social media components – a facebook connect feature, widgets that incorporate sentiment, tools that harness user generated content. You also spend a lot more time on social media sites now than you did in 2004. Thanks to web 2.0 we also live in a world where everyone is a publisher, including yours truly, and news travels in real time. This change happened very quickly and the behavior shift in retrospect doesn’t seem revolutionary.
I believe the next stage of web is going to be a bigger transition, and a much more noticeable one in terms of the impact on our day-to-day lives. At the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month every hardware company featured at least one web-enabled device. A common feature of all of these devices is that they now come with built-in “app stores”. Depending on the device you can get applications ranging from subscription products like Netflix, to news sites like the NY Times, to enterprise software like salesforce.com. In the next few years your refrigerator will be bundled with software applications, accessible via a touchscreen, that tell you recipes and guidelines for preparing food. If you go to Best Buy in April you will see that the cutting edge television sets contain a window into the Internet – get Youtube clips and weather channel without having to pick up a PC. Sure, you will still use a PC with a keyboard and mouse to surf the old-fashioned web, but increasingly you will rely on applications. This future is coming to your home, and once it is there you will use your computer less and pupose-built applications more. This is the beginning of Web 3.0. It also opens us up to all sorts of philisophical questions: if my car has 12 microprocessors and allows me to stream movies and music, is it still a car, or is it a computer with 4 wheels and a gas tank?
As an investor, Web 3.0 presents both a challenge and an opportunity. The challenge is that content creators are inexorably getting further and further away from controlling how their product is consumed. In the old days a newspaper company wrote the news, printed it on the type of paper they wanted in the format they wanted, delivered the paper to your doorstep, and they implicitly told you the order in which to read stories by presenting pages and sections. This control has broken down online – google allows users to intercept content in a random order, RSS feeds and news readers have aggregated content sources into a single template, the design is now stripped away completely from the original news source, and in web 2.0 an author’s personal brand now supercedes the news outlet that features them. This is a major threat to media – if you give up the way your product is delivered and consumed you will inevitably lose control of the way it is monetized.
However, for the VC community there is an opportunity in this chaos. In the last 12 months we have seen hundreds of new applications, purpose-built for iOS and Android, that are taking advantage of the way consumers use mobile devices. There are new subscription opportunities to bundle content and deliver it across formats. Now that I own a Kindle I am anxiously waiting for someone to launch a Netflix for books. I probably won’t read more but I am sure I would spend more.
There is one more opportunity that I am intently focused on right now. It is very hard to build applications that work everywhere, and in order to do web 3.0 you need a dedicated team with expertise in the underlying platforms. There is no way for every company in America to have in-house expertise on the SDKs (software development kit) for iphone, ipad, android, Sony TV, PS3, XBOX 360, etc etc etc. As Conde Nast is figuring out, it is expensive to support and manage just one of these platforms, let alone all of them. One major opportunity, which I am actively looking for, is the company that will be the management layer for the application Internet. I am sure there are a hundred complexities in this business model – how do you get content to the app, how do you make templatized design that is still appealing to consumers, how much will people pay for this service. But I am pretty sure that the company that figures this out will be very successful. | <urn:uuid:6e2bad74-029e-4bad-8e45-b2489c429aad> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | https://www.sigalow.com/2011/01/18/web-3-0/ | 2018-01-24T05:52:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084893397.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20180124050449-20180124070449-00670.warc.gz | en | 0.951204 | 977 |

Your Communications Program Has Dozens Of Different Elements. What Happens If They Work With, Instead Of Against, Each Other?
The principle behind Integrated Marketing is simple. But it’s not necessarily easy.
Every element of your communications with customers, employees, vendors, and other key audiences should be designed to work with each other. But way too often, mixed or incomplete messages mean that some aspects of your communications may be working against you.
For example, what happens if your brand claims to be helpful and customer oriented, but nobody can find your phone number on your website? Or if you launch a new product with a strong recycling message, but someone discovers it’s going to be several years before there are enough centers around the nation to make recycling possible? Both small and large issues can trip up your marketing message.
That’s why our Integrated Marketing approach is so valuable. We spend the time necessary to research and understand your company and industry, so there aren’t any big, costly surprises with your marketing messages. We also take the time to sweat the details, so you don’t spend thousands of dollars to get customers calling in–only to find that your internal sales staff hasn’t been trained to respond properly to the inquiries.
Integrated Marketing can save your company time and money. Better yet, it can make your marketing dollars have more impact and go further. And because messages in different media are all designed to work together, and integrated marketing campaign can be more quantifiable–it’s much easier to see the difference if you add, remove, or change an element of the program.
Want to see if Integrated Marketing can help your business? Spend a few minutes talking with us, and we’ll share some ideas about things you can do that will have an immediate, positive impact on your marketing communications.
That’s what happens when everything works together. | <urn:uuid:6314f711-b7e2-4754-abc0-377f0ecbb2c8> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://colloredomarketing.com/integrated-marketing/ | 2023-03-25T22:41:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945376.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20230325222822-20230326012822-00348.warc.gz | en | 0.91475 | 392 |
Well, actually, that’s not strictly true – library day is usually Saturday, but I don’t pen a piece over the weekends – even the wicked need some rest you know.
After putting my youngest fruit-bat to bed last night, we sat and read Poppy and Max and the Lost Puppy by Sally Grindley and Lindsey Gardiner.
It was a lovely little book, nice illustrations and big words, ideal for reading with a dimmed light and a teddy.
While we were upstairs, the other pesky twigglynugs were downstairs with their dad, listening to Stephen Fry narrate the final part of the Harry Potter phenomenon, The Deathly Hallows. There couldn’t have been a better man for the job in my opinion; Stephen embodies the institution of Hogwarts wonderfully well and is such a delight to listen to.

Act F.A.S.T. campaign returns urging people to call 999 at any sign of a stroke
On 8 March 2021, Public Health England, supported by the Stroke Association, will relaunch the national “Act F.A.S.T.” stroke campaign. There are more than 100,000 incidence of stroke each year in the UK, causing around 34,000 deaths.
The latest data show a 12% drop in hospital attendances for stroke during the lockdown period of the pandemic, between March – April 2020
With current national restrictions in place, there’s an even greater need to run this campaign activity to remind people of the symptoms and reinforce the importance of acting F.A.S.T. and calling 999 if you notice any single one of the signs in yourself or others.
The F.A.S.T. (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) acronym has featured in the advertising for a number of years and provides a memorable way of identifying the most common signs of a stroke, whilst emphasising the importance of acting quickly by calling 999.
Think and Act F.A.S.T.
- Face – has their face fallen on one side? Can they smile?
- Arms – can they raise both arms and keep them there?
- Speech – is their speech slurred?
- Time to call 999 if you see any single one of these signs of a stroke
When Stroke Strikes Act F.A.S.T. Call 999
A stroke is known as a ‘brain attack’. It is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention as every minute is vital. That is why calling 999 is so crucial. An ambulance can give stroke patients those extra precious minutes, through faster and more specialist treatment via their knowledge of the nearest appropriate Hyper Acute Stroke Unit.
Whether it is a friend, loved one or even a stranger, dialling 999 quickly and acting F.A.S.T saves lives and gives stroke patients their best chance at recovery and could reduce the long-term effects.
The campaign includes TV, video on demand, radio, social media and is supported by partnerships and PR.

April 17, 2013 - Mehlville Fire Protection District Board of Directors Secretary Ed Ryan took the oath of office for a second six-year term during a meeting of the fire board last week.
Mehlville Fire Protection District Board of Directors Secretary Ed Ryan takes the oath of office for his second term last week. (click for larger version)
Ryan, first elected to the MFPD board in 2007, won election to a second term April 2 by defeating challenger Mike Klund. Ryan received 8,075 votes, or 63.1 percent, to Klund's 4,690 votes, or 36.65 percent.
Hilmer and board Treasurer Bonnie Stegman came to office in April 2005 as a reform slate against union control of the three-member board.
Ryan previously told the Call his re-election was a victory for the district's taxpayers, because they will continue to have representation on the Board of Directors.
Klund ran unsuccessfully in 2011 for the seat of MFPD Board of Directors Chairman Aaron Hilmer.
Klund was endorsed by the Greater St. Louis Labor Council, the South County Legislative Labor Club and International Association of Fire Fighters Local 2665.
When Klund challenged Hilmer two years ago, Klund's committee and another committee formed to support his candidacy, Friends of the Mehlville Fire District, raised more than $100,000 for Klund's campaign, mostly from donations by Local 1889 and the national IAFF. Hilmer narrowly won that race, 48.9 percent to Klund's 47.5 percent.
MFPD union employees formerly were members of IAFF Local 1889, but joined IAFF Local 2665 in September 2011.
In this year's race, Klund was supported by a new political action committee, or PAC, Citizens for Good Government. The group shares a treasurer, Jennifer Stuhlman, with the Professional Firefighters of Tri-County PAC, which donated $50,500 to the Citizens for Good Government in February, after receiving a $50,000 donation from "Mehlville Fire Fighters."
Hilmer has sued Citizens for Good Government on behalf of the district, alleging campaign-finance law violations, including an effort to conceal the source of political donations. Citizens for Good Government mailed letters and fliers endorsing Klund and attacking Ryan.

The MR machine is a very powerful magnet that can pose a threat to both investigators and subjects if metallic objects become projectiles, or if a subject has metal inside their body, such as a pace maker or aneurysm clip. In addition, the use of the MR scanner requires an adequate level of understanding to perform proper research on the scanner. Technicians are available both peak and off-peak hours to operate the machine, and investigators are encouraged to make use of their expertise. However, researchers can be certified to work the scanner. To minimize risks, and in order to maintain quality assurance, the following certification procedure has been developed for certified MRI Research Facility staff, such as technologists, to administer to new users.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 171030
should not offer to copy a cd if the drive is empty
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:15 EST
The context menu of the cd drive in "my computer" should desensitise a
few menu items, e.g. copy cd, if the drive is empty.
This may be related to bug 170068.
Did you offer to write a patch for this?
I offered to write a patch for gnome-vfs to detect whether there is a disc
inside the drive (so that we could tell whether there's something to
play/copy/whatever even if the disc isn't mounted).
It would be required for this feature to be implemented.
Was the offer accepted ?
Was up to Alex :)
alex> I think its probably ok though. As long as we have a way to return both
has media, no media and don't know.
hadess> ok, i'll file a bug upstream and work on that when i have some time
was this ever upstreamed?
I think the upstream bug is
There's already an upstream patch to disable the entry if the disc is blank:
It should be easy to disable it if the drive is empty as well.
Seems that there is some silly controversy holding the patch back upstream.
Should be just go with Bastians patch ?
I asked Jon to review it.
Fix will be in the next upstream version.

Rabies in Horses: Should Horses be Vaccinated in Colorado?
by Ragan Adams, Nicolette Ahrens, & N. Striegel* (2/14)
- Rabies is a fatal viral disease that affects both animals and people. All mammals are believed to be susceptible.
- The rabies virus is shed in the saliva of a rabies-infected animal usually a few days prior to the development of clinical signs until death. The virus is normally transmitted between animals through bite wounds.
- Historically, Colorado has not been an area with a large incidence of rabies. Beginning in 2007, a variant associated with skunks began moving westward and is now commonly reported in the eastern counties and along areas of the Front Range.
- The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment reported a rise in the number of rabid skunks in heavily populated areas of Colorado in 2013.
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) reported a significant rise in the number of rabid skunks in heavily populated areas of Colorado in 2013. Horse owners in Colorado should seriously consider vaccinating their horses against rabies. The decision is based on a combination of factors: understanding the severity of the disease, the incidence of rabies in Colorado, the horse’s relative risk of exposure and the number of people with whom the horse comes in contact.
Rabies is a fatal viral disease that affects both animals and people. All warm-blooded animals are believed to be susceptible. Although the risk of being exposed is low, the consequence of contracting the disease is high. The rabies virus is shed in the saliva of a rabies-infected animal usually a few days prior to the development of clinical signs until death. The virus is normally transmitted between animals through bite wounds. Because there are no known effective antiviral treatments, once a person or animal exhibits clinical signs of rabies infection, death follows in days or weeks. However, rabies infections are rare in animals and people who have been protected by vaccination.
The rabies virus resides in the United States in two populations of wildlife: the carnivores (skunks, raccoons, foxes, etc) and bats. The incidence of rabies in these “reservoir” wildlife populations varies geographically and is a major determinant of the risk of domestic animal and human exposure. The primary ways of preventing human rabies and controlling animal rabies are by vaccinating domestic animals, managing animals exposed to rabies, and managing animals that bite humans.
Incidence of Rabies in Colorado
Historically, the incidence of rabies has been low in Colorado but in 2007 a form of rabies associated with skunks began to appear in the eastern part of the state. Rabies is now commonly reported in the eastern counties and along areas of the Front Range. This form of rabies has caused rabies in domestic animals including dogs, cats, horses and livestock. Historic and current information about the incidence of rabies in Colorado animals (www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/CDPHE-DCEED/CBON/1251607766329) can be found at the CDPHE website on rabies under data and statistics.
Rabies in Horses
In horses as in other warm blooded animals; rabies is a severe, rapidly progressive neurological disease. It is transmitted via saliva, most commonly through bite wounds from an infected wild animal. Although symptoms may appear anytime from two weeks up to one year after exposure, on average symptoms appear four to eight weeks after the exposure. Death usually occurs two to four days after the horse begins to show clinical signs.
Once the virus enters the body, it replicates at the site of exposure, migrates through the peripheral nerves to the spinal cord, and then travels up the spinal cord to the brain. From the brain the virus migrates to the salivary glands where it replicates and is shed in high quantities in the saliva. At this point, the infected animal can expose others through its saliva.
Rabies should be suspected in all horses that show a sudden onset of rapidly progressing neurological signs. However, horses with rabies may also show a wide range of clinical signs that resemble other more common diseases:
- Depression with loss of appetite
- Low-grade fever
- Abdominal pain or colic (straining to urinate or defecate)
- Lameness and/or incoordination
- Increased sensitivity to touch
- Swallowing problems and drooling
- Odd behavioral changes, nervousness, irritability
- Convulsions or seizures
Rabies can only be diagnosed with a laboratory test performed after death. Because the horse’s symptoms may mimic other more common diseases, many people may be exposed to the infected horse while it is infectious. The best method to prevent human exposure is to ensure that horses, livestock and pets are protected against rabies with current vaccinations.
Vaccination Recommendations for Horses in Colorado
The 2011 Compendium of Animal Rabies Prevention and Control (http://nasphv.org/Documents/RabiesCompendium.pdf) published by the National Association of State Public Health Veterinarians (NASPHV) recommends that vaccination be considered for valuable livestock, horses traveling interstate, and animals that have frequent human contact (such as public exhibition like fairs and petting zoos). The American Association of Equine Practitioners lists rabies vaccination as part of the core group of vaccines that should be administered to horses annually due to the rise of rabies across the country and the severity of the disease. 2013 AAEP Core Vaccination Guidelines (www.aaep.org/-i-165.html).
Rabies vaccines should be given by a licensed veterinarian and the owner should keep documentation of the vaccination from their veterinarian. Without proper documentation, the horse may be considered “unvaccinated” by public health officials at the time of rabies exposure and treated as a threat to human safety.
Consult your veterinarian about the risk of your horse being exposed to rabies. Your veterinarian is familiar with your horse’s management situation and knows the incidence and risk of rabies in your area. The risk of your horse getting rabies is low but the consequence of getting rabies is high because the disease is fatal.
To minimize exposure to rabies in general, remember:
- Do not handle wild animals or do any feeding around the house that may attract them.
- If you see wild animals that are acting strange, showing neurological symptoms, or showing odd behavior such as nocturnal animals (skunks and raccoons) being active during the day, contact your animal control officials or your local public health department.

Glenn Reynolds on a well regulated militia
In USA Today.
"Even short of revolutions and coups, the militia had a different character in ordinary law enforcement than professionals possess. If called upon to enforce an unpopular law, or to enforce the law in an oppressive or unpopular way, the militia could drag its feet and fail to perform. (In this sense, the militia was like a jury, which is free to acquit even a guilty defendant if it thinks conviction would be unjust. In fact, Yale Law Professor Akhil Amar has likened the militia to jurors with guns because, like the jury, it was an institution made up of the people, through which the government must act, and one not susceptible to the kinds of corruption besetting professional institutions)."
"But although the militia survives in vestigial form in the statute books, as a functional institution, it no longer exists. For law enforcement, the militia has been replaced by professional police, with SWAT teams, armored vehicles and Nomex coveralls; for military purposes, the militia has been replaced by the National Guard, which despite a thin patina of state control is fundamentally a federal military force."
"But this departure from the system the Framers set up has encouraged more intrusive law enforcement at home, and more military action abroad. So I'll ask you: If a well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state, then are we insecure? Or unfree? Or both?" | <urn:uuid:bed257a4-2218-4e3c-8915-95dab34c03f8> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://armsandthelaw.com/archives/2014/03/glenn_reynolds_.php | 2016-06-30T22:53:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783399425.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154959-00084-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96681 | 299 |

Produce Results in AdvanceJun 22, 2021
Ever since the internet has become our primary source for new information, our target clients have been overwhelmed with information. Our best clients (along with ourselves) have to be careful about what information we let in our heads. If we let too much in, we will constantly be on information overload and will not get much done. It is very easy to get “information fatigue.”
There is a new economy that is developing. And that is the ability to produce results in advance. Companies who fully understand and master this skill will be BIG WINNERS in the next few years. Information with the hopes of producing results is no longer the ideal. What’s better? Actually, getting the results without all of the information. Goodbye, excessive information. Hello, exponential results!
We have the ability to solve some enormous challenges for our clients. We can 1) save them time (the most valuable resource there is), 2) help them feel great about themselves, and 3) give them the security their family stays healthy. If we provide information about these CORE BENEFITS to our clients, we will have success. But if we can provide guaranteed results instead of just information, our success will be exponential because of the value we are creating for our clients. And those clients who get huge results can be encouraged to refer friends, family, and work colleagues (all of which are in their circle of influence) to your business.
Your marketing goal is to convey the results your client can expect from entering into a relationship with you and from doing business with you. This is your primary goal of any and all of your marketing. What results can be EXPECTED from your relationship? By doing this, you will begin to produce results in advance and learn to convey these benefits confidently.

Ginuwine has, according to a lawsuit he's filed, managed to get himself signed to a record label which doesn't exist:
The singer has not recorded any material since the signing or received any money.
The suit also claims that there is no corporate record for King Music Group Inc. in New York, California, Florida or Tennessee. Ginuwine has been unable to sign to any other label because he is under contract to King and could get sued.
Ginuwine and his lawyer have been unable to contact Bourne and the supposed CEO’s Memphis number is unlisted. Ginuwine’s suit is seeking $4 million in damages.
Now, Ginuwine isn't some starry-eyed young thing just off the Greyhound bus - surely you'd do a bit of background work to find out about the label you're signing to before writing on the line? Especially if you're already in the business and putting your faith and career into the hands of a record label you've never heard of? Wouldn't you?
Now, if you'll excuse us, we're off to complete selling Ginuwine the Brooklyn Bridge... | <urn:uuid:f8b9dc6f-b49a-40a1-88f5-17a919899822> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://xrrf.blogspot.com/2007/10/ginuwine-and-fake.html | 2016-02-07T03:50:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701148475.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193908-00270-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976918 | 238 |
We’re continuing to get settled in at the Dallas digs, and we continue to love it. I promise the pictures will come soon…unpacking is such a laborious task.
The events that took place this weekend were in some ways the culmination of six years of prayer and preparation.
On Sunday morning, we participated in a sending service at South MacArthur Church, our primary partner in church planting. Ryan Porche led worship; I preached. It was a reminder of our work together back at Highland Street Church in Memphis, and also a foretaste of the ways we’ll work together in Dallas in the coming months.
One of the South Mac elders offered a blessing for us; the Mission Action Team co-chair offered a charge; and a Richland Hills Church representative prayed on our behalf as the SMAC elders and staff, Mission Alive directors, and friends surrounded us.
It was a powerful moment.
We’re joining Abram, Moses, Isaiah, Jesus, Peter, Paul and many others in the sending of God for the sake of the world.
On Monday morning, Ryan Porche and I went with a group of five other ministers (a mentoring group led by Grady King, preaching minister at SMAC) to visit Lynn Anderson at his home in San Antonio. Lynn has been in the ministry of mentoring and equipping for the last ten years. For a seventy-one year old, he’s got the wisdom of a hundred-year old man and the mind and passion of a thirty-year old.
We spent a day and a half sharing our stories and talking about leadership, strategic planning, family boundaries and spiritual formation. And we ate. A lot.
Perhaps the most significant question Lynn asked us in our time together was, “Who are you mentoring?” All of us could quickly mention people who were mentoring us, but we were slower to mention people we were ourselves mentoring . But isn’t that the essence of discipleship—mentored to mentor?

Ex-special forces, Jacob King, is a man who keeps to himself, having learned the hard way that letting people close to you, trusting them, might just get you killed. A lesson he learned when members of his Special Ops team turned dirty, while others, men he considered friends, died. He made them pay. He made them hurt. He put them in jail. And so he doesn't trust anyone anymore. He keeps his women hot and fast, his friends few to none, and his clients through the elite Walker Security at a professional distance, but safe.
It works for him. Until it doesn't.
His newest job should be simple and cut and dry. Jewel Carpenter, the daughter of the CEO of Carpenter Enterprises, is receiving death threats. He's to protect her and find out who is issuing the treats.
Simple. Cut and Dry.
Until it's not.
Until the chemistry between he and Jewel is all about love, hate, and sex. But even as he fights the attraction to Jewel and discovers there is more to her than meets the eye, the real threat comes not from the threats she's receiving, but the connection she has to him. Because his past has come full circle, and those men he's made pay for their sins now want him to pay. And what better way than the woman in his bed? | <urn:uuid:85df620a-ecf7-4e6e-8c8b-55dacd2cbb22> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://books.apple.com/gb/book/falling-under/id1300030554 | 2023-01-27T07:36:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764494974.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20230127065356-20230127095356-00425.warc.gz | en | 0.992792 | 288 |
WWE Suspends Eva Marie For Wellness Violation
The suspensions continue to roll in: Eva Marie has been suspended by WWE for violating the Wellness Policy.
WWE confirmed the news on their official website: “WWE has suspended Natalie Coyle (Eva Marie) for 30 days effective immediately for her first violation of the company’s talent wellness policy.”
Eva Marie’s husband, Jonathan Coyle, took to Twitter to defend his wife, stating that we don’t know the full story, and that we’ll likely side with Eva Marie once we do:
When the public finds out why my wife was unjustly suspended they will be absolutely outraged! Official statement and facts coming soon.
— Jonathan Coyle (@Jonathan_Coyle) August 18, 2016
Of course, this all throws a wrench into WWE’s Summerslam plans, as Eva Marie was set to team up with Alexa Bliss and Natalya to take on Naomi, Carmella and Becky Lynch this Sunday. In response to the Wellness violation, the match has been changed to a 2-on-3 handicap match, according to WWE’s official release on the Summerslam card.
This is the third suspension this week, and the fourth this summer, in what is ballooning into a serious issue for WWE. First, main eventer Roman Reigns was suspended last month for violating the policy, in an act that ended up derailing his push at the top of the card (at least for the time being). Then, Alberto Del Rio was suspended for thirty days yesterday due to a failed Wellness Policy test. Later that same day, his girlfriend, former WWE Divas Champion Paige, was suspended as well for a test failure. This is without even getting into Brock Lesnar failing a drug test from USADA, an incident which revealed that Lesnar isn’t actually subject to WWE’s policy.
On the one hand, it’s good to know that WWE takes the policy seriously, but it’s kind of disconcerting to know that, from all appearances, some people on the roster don’t. Here’s hoping WWE gets its house in order. Then again, if Eva Marie’s husband is right about her suspension being unjust, I’d love to hear his side of the story.

A controversial power line project connecting Berwick, Pennsylvania and Roseland, New Jersey has been proposed through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and across the Appalachian Trail. Your comments are needed now to ensure that there are no impacts to the unique and irreplaceable resources of the Delaware Water Gap or the Appalachian Trail.
As part of the power line planning process, the National Park Service is conducting an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that will guide the ultimate decision on whether or not the project can move forward as planned. The Susquehanna to Roseland power line will cross both the Appalachian Trail and the Delaware Water Gap with nearly 200-foot tall towers and will require extensive earth moving to create access roads and construction areas as well as re-routing the Appalachian Trail. The project will have significant impacts on recreational resources and values within and outside of the park, as well as ecological impacts caused by blasting, tree removal and access road creation.
The National Park Service, as part of the EIS process, has developed a variety of alternative routes and a “no build” alternative that provide different impacts on the Park’s resources. Please visit the Park Service’s website, review the newsletter that outlines the alternatives and submit your comments by September 14, 2010.

If your soul drowns towards to physics, but the heart belongs to the sky, then it is not difficult to determine that you could be an astronomer. Using physical laws, they study cosmic phenomena to establish how the cosmic space and its components have evolved. The primary object of study is light: all conclusions are drawn about what is happening in the universe on the basis of light data.
Astronomers are interested in planets, stars and galaxies, and how they can be achieved and studied. Astronomers are excellent technical specialists because their instruments are high-tech devices.
Are you inspired? Then you need to be ready to immerse yourself in higher mathematics, mechanics, statistics. They will be studied at first, therefore at the beginning astronomy programs are not much different from the programs in physics or mathematics. Objects like astrophysics and work in the observatory often begin after the study of basic disciplines.
The emphasis in training the profession is on methods of collecting astronomical data in observatories. Therefore, when choosing a university pay attention to whether he is cooperating with observatories and research institutes, where students practice. Most of the best astronomical faculties were created precisely on the basis of such scientific institutions, or vice versa – the observatories grew up where qualified personnel were trained to work in them.
A question for the future
Today, many universities note that future first-year students are becoming more pragmatic, they are increasingly approaching the choice of the profession and are increasingly asking a reasonable question about who they will work at the end of the study and how much they will earn.
There are two main ways to study astronomy.
The first one is for those who have firmly decided to become an astronomer and carry out scientific research. He has to go through the magistracy and graduate school, after which you can continue to work in the observatory. A related field of activity can be called work in government institutions, defense and space-related enterprises. Also, having a high qualification, you can become a teacher, of course, not only astronomy itself but also physics, mathematics, computer technology.
Astronomers who seek to popularize scientific knowledge work in planetariums and scientific museums.
Those who decide not to associate their activities with science can become IT specialists, engineers, work in the field of private industry, open their own business.
In all cases, the salary of such a specialist is an excellent incentive to go to study in this specialty.
What kind of program should a future bachelor, master and astronomy doctor choose?
Astronomy bachelor’s program
The sooner a future specialist plunges into an interesting area of knowledge, the better. Because to enter the Master’s and PhD programs in astronomy, you need to have a solid background in this area. It must be remembered, however, that there are fewer scholarships for bachelor’s programs than for higher levels of study.
University of Hawaii Hilo. Hawaii, USA
Entering here, you can count on a long-term perspective: after the bachelor’s program, master’s and graduate programs are offered, the organization of which is carried out jointly with the Institute of Astronomy.
Why is it Hawaii? At least because on the largest island of the Hawaiian archipelago with the speaking name Big Island is located one of the largest observatories in the world – Mauna Kea. It is built on top of the same sleeping volcano. Another observatory is on the neighboring island of Maui is Haleakala. Observatories cooperate with the university, which also has its scientific park.
A list of courses and terms of admission can be found on the university’s website. The cost of training is about $10,000 per semester.
Macquarie University. Sydney, Australia
This university offers a whole range of astronomy programs, including in combination with various scientific fields that are not directly connected with it. The most extravagant possibility is to get a Bachelor of Arts and Science degree, that is simultaneously humanitarian and natural science, with the possibility of in-depth study of astronomy. Instead of a standard three-year training period, the program is designed for four years, but the variety of subjects worth it.
If you want something more classical, that is, a three-year program of natural science bachelor’s degree in astronomy and astrophysics.
To enter this or other programs, IELTS will be required with a score of at least 6.5 and at least 6.0 for each section of the exam (listening, writing, reading, speaking). Submission of documents is carried out online. The cost of training – about 16,000 AUD per semester.
University of Texas. Austin, United States
The program for astronomy is quite easy to find in the US universities, Texas – just one example. The University of Austin has its observatory, which is a big advantage for future astronomers.
To get acquainted with the program and the conditions of admission (it is necessary to pass the examination in mathematics) it is possible on the website.
For many bachelor’s programs at the university, including for the specialty “astronomy”, the program of dean’s encouragement to the best students operates. It gives an opportunity to receive a diploma with distinction and already from the first training cycle to work on a research project under the scientific supervision. More information can be found in a special section.
Astronomy Master’s Degree
The master of astronomy is usually designed not only for those who have received a bachelor’s degree in this field. The physicist, meteorologist, and mathematician can become an astronomer at the magistracy stage.
University of Oslo. Oslo, Norway
Here specialize in three areas: cosmology, solar physics and extragalactic cosmology. During the research, the data of the Northern Optical Telescope and the Swedish Solar Telescope located in the Canary Islands are used. The master’s program is designed for two years, the language of instruction is English.
A significant plus of a master’s program in Norway is that study here is free. However, when applying, you will need to confirm your financial solvency to qualify for a place in the hostel.
Applications from applicants are accepted from October 1 to December 1. But you can not apply, being a bachelor’s student, you must have a diploma in your hands. You will also need a certificate of knowledge of English.
University of Turku. Turku, Finland
Another version of the free two-year master’s program in astronomy in English is offered by the University of Turku.
The students of the last year of the magistracy have the opportunity to spend part of the study time for scientific work with the Northern Optical Telescope at the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory in the Canary Islands. Students are also given access to the equipment of the European Space Agency.
Documents are accepted from December 1 to the end of January, and studies start in September. Unlike Oslo, you can file documents here, being a student of the last year of a bachelor’s degree and not having a diploma in your hands. In this case, you need to provide a certificate of progress from the university.
Like any Erasmus Mundus program, the AstroMundus Master’s program is an opportunity not only to master the chosen profession but also to learn at once in several European countries.
In the first semester students study in Innsbruck, the second semester is held in Rome or Padua, the third – in Rome, Gottingen or Belgrade, the fourth – in any of the partner universities.
The partners of the program are the Belgrade University, the Belgrade Astronomical Observatory, the Observatory of Padua and Rome, the INFN-Gran Sasso Institute of Science (L’Aquila, Italy), the Max Planck Institute (Gottingen, Germany).
Recruitment for the program is from August 1 to the end of November; classes begin in October.
Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree in astronomy, astrophysics or mathematics and have excellent English.
There is an opportunity to receive a scholarship to cover part of the cost of the program, transportation costs, as well as monthly payments.
Astronomy PhD program
This section will be of interest to those who dream of an astronomical career, for the way to the observatory and research institutes lies precisely through doctoral studies and serious scientific work. PhD-programs are not educational in the full sense. They most often imply the conclusion of a three-year paid contract, during which the young scientist conducts his research project.
International Max Planck Research School (Germany) on astronomy and astrophysics.
The program is implemented in cooperation between the Institute of Radio Astronomy and Universities of Bonn and Cologne.
The opportunity to get funding for your research project on this program is available to successful students from all over the world. It is necessary to have a Master of Science diploma, and the master’s thesis must be protected in the field of physics, engineering or adjacent to them. You also need knowledge of the basics of astrophysics and English.
Deadline for application is November 15 of each year; the contract is possible for any month of the year following the year of application. It is recommended that you carefully review the list of scientific fields that are of particular relevance to this program, and contact potential scientific leaders to discuss the topic of the future study.
After reviewing the dossier, the best candidates will be invited (in person or an online format) to an interview or presentation of their master’s project.
University of Hawaii. Hawaii, USA
About the already mentioned university in Hawaii is worth remembering in the section for doctoral students. The university has a special Astronomy Graduate Program, designed for masters and PhD students.
Students enrolled in the PhD program can immediately be “assigned” to the research labs of Manoa, Maui or Hilo. They get access to the observatories of Mauna Kea and Haleakala, considered one of the best located due to the properties of the local air: it is clean and dry, which allows for more efficient observation.
There are several opportunities to receive funding for their activities at the university: scholarships, including the NASA scholarship, and teaching to undergraduate students.
To become a member of the program, you must fill out an online form, attach a motivation letter to it, describing your experience, interests, achievements, and the result of the GRE. Letters of recommendation should be sent online, and a package of documents – by mail, at the address: Institute for Astronomy, Astronomy Graduate Admissions, 2680 Woodlawn Drive, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA. | <urn:uuid:df3cb5d3-305f-469b-8e12-ab6b365e11e5> | CC-MAIN-2019-51 | https://1writingservice.com/advice/star-career-study-astronomy/ | 2019-12-12T00:24:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575540534443.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20191212000437-20191212024437-00512.warc.gz | en | 0.948367 | 2,227 |
Both Republican candidates for attorney general have some specific issues they plan to tackle if elected.
But they also one of their main issues is to continue a fight started by Ken Cuccinelli, which is repealing President Barack Obama's healthcare law.
State senator Mark Obenshain is officially running for Attorney General.
He said he will focus part of his campaign on fighting against government overreach.
"If they're violating federal law or violating the constitutional right of Virginians, we are gonna stand up to it," Obenshain said.
He said he wants to challenge president Obama's healthcare law.
"The federal healthcare act, I believe it's unconstitutional. I'm disappointed by the United States Supreme Court ruling with respect to the individual mandate but it's not the end of the story," Obenshain said.
He said if he's elected, he will protect Virginian's liberties.
"I think Virginians ought to have more of a role in the selection of their method for making healthcare reforms," Obenshain said.
Delegate Rob Bell is also running for the Republican ticket.
He said one of his main points is to defend the U.S. constitution.
"Instances like the Obamacare lawsuit that was unfortunately not successful but it was an effort to defend the constitution," Bell said.
Bell said he helped Cuccinelli draft the lawsuit to repeal the law.
"That suit has reached the supreme court so there is no where for that suit to go but if there is any other measure that came forward, I will certainly want to explore a way that I can bring that up in court," Bell said,
Bell also wants to bring up in court, laws to protect people's property rights.
He said he already started doing by putting the amendment for eminent domain in the ballot in November.
He said he also wants to keep people safe in the Commonwealth, making stricter laws for criminals.
Obenshain said he also wants to look for ways to protect the coal industry and agriculture in the state.
He said right now federal regulations are hurting coal miners and also rising people's electric bills.
He also said he wants to implement laws to help police keep communities safe.
Both candidates said they're not nervous about Virginians not voting for them after Obama and Democrat Tim Kaine won earlier this month.
They said they are confident the state will vote republican after seeing the success of previous Attorney General.
They also said the record shows that people tend to vote Republicans for Attorney General.

Officers of the North Eastern Division Task Force pre-empted a drug transaction that was seemingly about to take place in Woodbrook on Saturday.
According to the TTPS, the drugs were found during an exercise conducted in the Western Division between the hours of 11:30 pm Saturday and 1 am Sunday.
Officers received information regarding the impending transaction and proceeded to Luis Street, Woodbrook.
There police officers observed two male adults standing on the western side of the road. The men fled in a southerly direction upon seeing the approaching police vehicles and jumped over a wall, leaving behind a black garbage bag.
Officers pursued, but the men managed to escape.
According to the police the bag was recovered and contained five packets of a plant-like material resembling marijuana wrapped in transparent plastic which amounted to 2.5 kilogrammes.
The exercise was spearheaded by Snr Supt Maharaj, Supt Maynard Wilson, Supt Alexander, ASP Parryman and Insp Ramsingh.
It was supervised by Sgt Martin, and Cpls Daniel and Duncan. | <urn:uuid:c1a72f73-2493-449f-a7c7-745934dcc27c> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www3.cnc3.co.tt/police-foil/ | 2022-05-27T12:50:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662647086.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20220527112418-20220527142418-00338.warc.gz | en | 0.968551 | 218 |
Spring is coming soon, so what better way to welcome the season than to go out and have some fun? If you’re not sure what to do, no worries—let our guide help you out! This month, we’ve got a traditional festival, an event for foodies, an “imported” festival, an event for anime lovers and, of course, cherry blossoms on our list.
1. Hiwatari-Sai (Mar. 12)
Where: Takaosan Yakuoin Temple (access: Takaosanguchi Station)
Time: 1 pm-5 pm
Come join this yearly fire-walking ritual at Mount Takao, during which barefooted monks chant sutras and prayers for good health and other blessings while walking atop smoldering embers. Visitors are welcome to try walking atop the embers as well, but only after they’ve slightly cooled down—safety first, after all! This ritual is said to bring good luck, but for extra luck, auspicious items such as purifying salt will also be sold at the festival.
New Video: Shimokitazawa
Thrifting, vintage and secondhand shopping, hipster hangouts, live music, cheap restaurants - a calm bohemian neighbourhood in the heart of Tokyo.
Note that while this event is organized by Takaosan Yakuoin Temple, which is atop Mount Takao, the fire-walking festival takes place at a public square that’s a 5-minute walk from Takaosanguchi Station.
2. Ramen Girls’ Festival (Mar. 16-20)
Where: Yokohama Akarenga Event Square (access: Sakuragicho/Kannai/Bashamichi/Nihon-Odori/Minatomirai Stations)
Time: 11:00 am-9:00 pm
Admission: free; just pay for what you order (900 yen per bowl)
Who says women can’t enjoy ramen? Well, in Japan, where it’s not uncommon for people to have rigid ideas of what counts as masculine and feminine (even to this day), some people regard eating ramen as a masculine preference or pastime. But Ramen Girls’ Festival wants to do away with that image and to show that women can and do love ramen, too! With 12 booths serving ramen in smaller portions, the event also intends to attract women who shy away from ramen, thinking that it’s too greasy or heavy. This isn’t a women-only event, by the way, men are welcome too!
3. St. Patrick’s Day in Tokyo (Mar. 18-19)
Where: Yoyogi Park/around Omotesando for the parade (access: Harajuku/Meiji-jingumae Stations)
Time: 10:00 am-5:00 pm (parade: Mar. 19 only, 1:00-3:00 pm)
To introduce Ireland and Irish culture to the Japanese, the Irish Network in Japan (INJ) started holding a St. Patrick’s Day parade in Tokyo in 1992, and since then, it’s become an annual tradition to hold it on the weekend closest to the big day. 2017 marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Ireland and Japan, and it also marks the 25th anniversary of the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Tokyo, so this year is a significant one for the INJ.
The parade is just one part of the celebrations, though. Held on the same weekend is the “I Love Ireland” festival, a celebration of all things Irish. Visitors can enjoy food, music, dances, and—of course—good old Irish beer at the event.
4. Anime Japan (Mar. 25-26)
Where: Tokyo Big Sight, East Halls 1-6 (access: Kokusai-Tenjijo/Ariake/Kokusai-Tenjijo-Seimon Station)
Time: 10:00 am-5:00 pm
Admission: 1,800 yen (advanced selling); 2,200 yen (on-site) / free for children of elementary school age and younger
Anime Japan’s tagline tells you all you need to know about the event: “Here is everything about anime.” This event’s scale grows ever larger each year, but basically, what you can expect from Anime Japan are information on upcoming anime, exhibits, official merchandise booths (including sneak peeks at upcoming merchandise—some booths even sell them in advance or take pre-orders—and event exclusives), stage shows, freebies, cosplay, and seminars on the anime industry (sadly, only in Japanese). There’s also a family area for wholesome, kid-oriented anime; only children of elementary school age and younger, as well as their guardians, can access this area.
5. Cherry blossom festivals (from late March)
Where: around Tokyo
Lastly, no guide to events in March would be complete without Japan’s famous cherry blossom festivals. This year, the forecasted blooming date for cherry blossoms in Tokyo is March 25th. There are so many festivals to celebrate the blooming of Japan’s beloved flower, so we’ve got several handy articles to help you. Whether you just want to see them in the daytime, to see them while doing something fun, or to admire them all lit up at night, we’ve got those bases covered. And if those still aren’t enough, we also have a guide to sakura-themed products! Stay tuned as we update these guides.

New Hampshire non-profits encouraged to apply for renovation of facilities
Contact: E.J. Powers
P: 603.644.3200/ M: 413.441.4772
Manchester, NH – New Hampshire non-profits have an opportunity to get a major helping hand as Building On Hope, a New Hampshire-based organization of volunteers who provide renovations to deserving non-profits, is currently searching for its next “Extreme Makeover” type renovation project. Building On Hope is accepting submissions from in-state, non-profit organizations in need of significant improvements to facilities they operate. Since it formed in 2009, Building On Hope has completed $3.6 million in renovations to four New Hampshire organizations including Easter Seals NH, Girls Incorporated, Opportunity Networks and Manchester Police Athletic League (MPAL) through donated goods and labor.
“Our four projects represent more than building renovations – this work has helped transform the lives of hundreds of people throughout our community,” said Jonathan Halle, co-chair of Building on Hope. “It’s so inspiring to see New Hampshire companies and individuals band together for these non-profits and we’re thrilled to start the selection process for our fifth project.”
To meet the criteria, the organization must be a 501c3, own their facility and be located within 20 miles of Manchester. To be considered for Building on Hope’s 2018 signature project, please compose a letter describing the non-profit’s mission and programs, and how they benefit the community. Also, explain the renovation work that is needed, and how a remodeled structure could transform the organization and its services. All letters should be emailed to Karen Van Der Beken at email@example.com by December 31, 2016. Non-profits that meet the criteria will later be asked to fill out a formal application provided directly by Building on Hope.
In May 2016, nearly 400 volunteers and dozens of companies organized by Building On Hope collaborated in a $1.8 million effort to transform MPAL’s Michael Briggs Community Center in Manchester, NH. The organization provides an alternative to harmful behavior for Manchester’s inner-city youth and encourages positive relationships between law enforcement and young people. With little more than basic updating and maintenance, the 16,000-square-foot, 105-year-old facility was in desperate need of repair. A total of 17 rooms were transformed to create an open, light space complete with new furnishings and positive and inspirational messages throughout the facility. Volunteers aided in the creation of a state-of-the-art kitchen, homework room with laptops and internet access, game room, updated offices, workout areas, new heating and cooling systems, and more.
Every two years, Building On Hope takes on a new challenge, rallying volunteers, gathering resources and focusing attention on a project selected for its potential to create enduring positive change for the immediate community and the state as a whole. Other past projects include:
- 2010: Easter Seals – The remodeling, landscape, redesign and refurnishing of the Krol House Boys Intensive Residential Treatment Facility was a $350,000 project. Located in Manchester, this building is home to boys who, for any number of reasons, cannot live with their families. Residents may suffer from behavioral problems, learning disabilities and other setbacks. Many have experienced severely traumatic life experiences along the way, but they come to the Krol House because they are working through those problems and have plans for a better future.
- 2012: Girls Inc. – The Manchester Girls Inc. headquarters was in need of major renovations to better serve the hundreds of girls and their families participating in its programs. The $600,000 project involved a new roof, an air conditioning system, playground, extensive program enhancements and a completely new kitchen and dining area.
- 2014: Opportunity Networks – At its core, Opportunity Networks in Amherst is committed to providing genuine vocational opportunities and activities that promote life enhancing skills for adults with developmental and acquired disabilities in the Greater Nashua/Souhegan Valley community. The $850,000 project centered around the ‘dreams’ that the Opportunity Network Board and staff had to provide additional services and value to their clients. Building on Hope provided a fully interactive theatre, library, art space, commercial kitchen, movement room, computer lab, renovated offices and a ‘snoozelen room’.

Preschool Christmas activities can be such fun. As part of our quest for Christmas activities for kids, we loved the thought of the FEELING of Christmas that comes through with this Christmas Sensory Tub. Christmas is touchy, feeling and Kids Activities Blog wants to get in on the fun.
Preschool Christmas activities
Sensory tubs are wonderful for open ended play and they are so quick and simple to put together. Just put a few themed items in the tub, and then let your kids explore and experiment in whichever direction their imagination takes them.
Our fun and colorful Christmas themed sensory tub has a been a big hit with my son and he has come up with lots of different ways to play with it.
Christmas Activities for Kids
What’s in our Christmas sensory tub?
I used plain rice for the base of our Christmas sensory tub. It gave the effect of soft wintery snow and it has a lovely silky feeling when you run your hands trough it. As a variation, you could color the rice in Christmas colors like red and green.
To make colored rice, simply put the rice into a zip lock bag, add a few drops of food coloring, seal the bag, and shake. Remove the rice from the bag, spread it out on a tray and leave to dry.
For the contents of our Christmas sensory tub I used:
- Plastic candy cane ornaments
- Colored bells
- Silver bells
- Pine cones
- Pom poms
It looks so colorful and festive!
Very inviting for little hands to dig in and explore. The rice is wonderful for scooping and pouring so be sure to provide some large spoons and small cups or bowls.
Learning through play.
I usually set out a pair of tongs with all our sensory tubs. This provides some great fine motor skills practise. We used the pom poms in our Christmas sensory tub to play a color sorting game.
My son enjoyed running his hands through the rice in this tub, picking up handfuls and then letting the rice fall down between his fingers like sand. I also added some sound sensory play to this tub with the inclusion of the silver bells. They made their lovely jingling sound as my son was digging and scooping through the sand, making it a very relaxing play time. We also played a game of hide and seek with the silver bells, burying them under the rice and the digging around trying to find them again by listening out for their sound.
What fun item would you include in a Christmas themed sensory tub?

Pure Digital's Jonathan Kaplan–aka the Flip Guy–Speaks (Post-Cisco)!
BoomTown has been an unabashed fan of Pure Digital’s Flip digital video cameras since we debuted them at the D: All Things Digital conference in 2005.
And I have used the nifty device on this site since for my shaky-tastic video extravaganzas.
Yes, Pure Digital’s CEO Jonathan Kaplan (pictured above) is to blame!
Now, Kaplan has gone and sold Flip off to Cisco (CSCO) for $590 million in stock.
Sources said that Pure Digital–this corporate name will go by the wayside, by the way–had also chittered-chatted with Sony (SNE) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) about such a possibility.
That’s pretty good company for Pure Digital, considering it started as a white-label product, shrink-wrapped for theme parks and drugstores.
But the simplicity of its line of relatively inexpensive cameras, including the recently released Mino (seen below, and also sold in a high-definition version), has made it a huge consumer success, which is no easy task in the devices arena.
With Flip software, a user can plug the unit into a USB port of a computer to upload digital video easily. Flip models cost anywhere from $100 to $299.
Spot-on simplicity and a no-brainer feel have made them into the most popular such devices around, and in a very short time.
But, although it got $68.2 million in funding since its founding in 2001, taking all that innovation and success and truly turning it into a global brand was a much longer and more expensive slog for the San Francisco start-up.
Hence, a sale to the bigs.
Pure Digital is probably a good fit for Cisco, which has been trying to turbocharge its consumer-focused business, especially in home networking, and the move is a clear step in that direction.
In the integration, Cisco has made the Flip team part of ypuCisco’s Consumer Business group, and Kaplan will become general manager of the combined organization.
What comes next for Flip could be interesting, including the addition of social-networking and streaming features, which would dovetail well with Cisco’s other investments in consumer networking.
But most of all, it’s a nice ending to a very sharp company that makes a great product. Introducing a new consumer electronics device into the world is no small task and, clearly, Flip deserves the much bigger stage it is set to get.
Here’s my video interview with Kaplan, about Flip’s history and future: | <urn:uuid:87dfbd42-39f5-4fdb-a841-937ee394d7d4> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://allthingsd.com/20090406/pure-digitals-jonathan-kaplan-aka-the-flip-guy-speaks-post-cisco/ | 2016-05-30T12:45:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464051002346.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524005002-00193-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956444 | 565 |
- An mature female pliosaur fossil shows signs of a degenerative condition in her jaw similar to human arthritis.
- The condition has never been seen before in these or similar Mesozoic reptiles.
Ancient creatures resembling stout-necked Loch Ness Monsters apparently developed arthritis in their monster jaws, revealing that even such lethal killers could suffer from and eventually succumb to diseases of old age, researchers find.
Scientists reached that conclusion while investigating the fossil of an extinct marine reptile known as a pliosaur. The carnivore was apparently an old female extending some 26 feet (8 meters). It had a 10-foot-long (3 meters), crocodilelike head, short neck, whalelike body and four powerful flippers to propel it through water to hunt down prey.
"This pliosaur, like many of its relatives, was truly huge," researcher Michael Benton, a vertebrate paleontologist at the University of Bristol in England, told LiveScience. "To stand beside its skull and realize that it is 3 meters long, and massive and heavy as it is, that it once functioned with muscles and blood vessels and nerves, is amazing. You can lie down inside its mouth."
Normally, with huge jaws and teeth about 8 inches (20 centimeters) long, this pliosaur could have ripped most other animals apart. However, paleontologists found this specimen was apparently afflicted with an arthritis-like disease.
Benton and his colleagues analyzed an approximately 150-million-year-old specimen of Pliosaurus that had been unearthed in 1994 by fossil collector Simon Carpenter and held since then in the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery in England.
The beast would have lived in what is now southern England, back when the area was covered in warm, shallow seas. "Imagine the Mediterranean or Florida," Benton said. Other fossils from the site include smaller marine reptiles such as marine crocodiles, turtles and plesiosaurs, other Loch Ness Monster-like creatures upon which the pliosaur likely fed, as well as fish and shellfish. (Loch Ness Madness: Our 10 Favorite Monsters)
The skeleton had a low ridge of bone running from front to back on top of its skull. Investigators regarded it as female because males were thought to have taller ridges. Its large size and fused skull bones suggested maturity. The investigators noticed the reptile had signs of a degenerative condition similar to human arthritis. | <urn:uuid:6a6225c3-c48d-48e0-90ef-06c412f42956> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://news.discovery.com/animals/dinosaurs/pliosaur-arthritis-120516.htm | 2016-02-06T02:53:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701145751.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193905-00139-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967717 | 497 |

Few days ago, a clip went viral on social media, showing a helicopter landing on the Benin-Ore road, between cars in a traffic jam, to pick up an unidentified person.
Following the incident, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority said it has commenced an investigation, according to Punch.
The General Manager, Public Relations, NCAA, Sam Adurogboye, said the regulatory agency is aware of the viral video of the helicopter that landed on the highway and had ‘commenced investigations’.
According to Adurogboye, “the pilot was compelled to land between Benin and Ore in an unscheduled diversion to pick up someone. NCAA has commenced a full-scale investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the unscheduled diversion. As soon as the investigation is concluded, the outcome will be made public.”
A source from Tropical Arctic Logistics Limited, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Punch that the helicopter was cleared to carry out the flight.
The source said the helicopter landed because there was a medical emergency, contrary to the speculations that the helicopter was sent to pick up a woman. | <urn:uuid:907661a2-9fc5-426a-b6d9-4b4742219a8a> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.bellanaija.com/2019/06/ncaa-probes-helicopter-landing/ | 2022-01-20T20:46:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302622.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220120190514-20220120220514-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.967899 | 234 |

Have you heard the Banana Thing – the one about the banana in the beehive?
While there is ‘anecdotal evidence’ for bananas as a cure for chalkbrood – it is not scientifically proven.
However, it isn’t scientifically disproven either and there’s no smoke without fire. Read on…
Here is the usual response to the Banana Thing:
But like smoke without fire – could there be something to it?
Just so we know what we’re talking about – here’s the recipe:
- Cut an unpeeled banana in half lengthways;
- Sit the two halves – cut side uppermost – on the top bars of the brood box;
- Add a 1″ eke if need be;
- Replace the crownboard;
- Close the Varroa floor;
- Leave alone for 1 month;
- When you come back the chalk brood will be gone. Apparently.
But what is the mechanism?
It could be:
- Hygienic behaviour;
- Alarm Pheromone mimicry;
- Ethylene breakdown product;
- Something else;
- One of the above, several of the above, all of the above or none of them.
When you wonder how this could work you think hygienic behaviour. We all express hygienic behaviour – even me. Like if you get a whiff of something horrible- you check your shoes and if they’re clear you conclude you imagined it. If you get another whiff you look further afield – under the table perhaps, or behind the settee. If there’s still nothing you might assume it came in through the window but when you get that third whiff you really go into overdrive: you get the torch and the rubber gloves on. That is hygienic behaviour but when the bees do it – there’s more of them and they don’t wait for the third whiff – they just go bananas at the first one.
With bees, the horrible smell could be simply that rotting banana smell – we know they have a short fuse. However, I read somewhere that bee alarm pheromone smells like bananas and I remember hearing of somebody who came into contact with savage Africanised bees – he was well protected inside a strong beesuit but the bees were going bananas stinging the suit and I remember him saying there was a smell like bananas. I’ve also heard it said – don’t eat bananas before going to your bees because they don’t like it and perhaps that’s why. That’s more anecdotal stuff for you.
Either way, perhaps the smell of alarm pheromone puts the bees into a state of heightened awareness and who knows how that might be expressed; they might reach for the rubber gloves and the torch.
If you put a ripe banana in a paper bag with an Unripe Thing – the banana will ripen the Unripe Thing. This is because ripening bananas are a source of ethylene – a gas and also a plant hormone. 7 days after the banana leaves the cooler and hits peak-ripeness the ethylene production spikes thus:
If at this point your banana and your unripe thing are in the bag together – the ethylene will tell the unripe thing to get ripe – and it will, because as we said, ethylene is a plant hormone and plants do as they are hormonally instructed. This is a scientifically proven fact by the way- not an anecdote.
If you further enclose your paper bag of fruits in plastic bag this will prevent the escape of ethylene and the effects will be more pronounced as ethylene causes more ethylene to be produced. This has implications for the banana chalkbrood thing and if you try it you should refrain from looking under the crownboard or you will release the ethylene.
Fruit ripeners use ethylene commercially to ripen fruit and fruit merchants will chemically remove ethylene from refrigerated units to help preserve it.
What has this to do with chalkbrood says you? Well for one thing is shows you that ethylene itself is a chemical that can provoke a reaction in plants.
In the presence of oxygen, ethylene can degrade to other interesting chemicals.
Ethylene Degradation Path
- Ethylene C2H4 ->
- Ethylene oxide C2H4O ->
- Oxalic acid C2H2O4 ->
- 2 CO2
In the presence of oxygen, ethylene degrades to ethylene oxide – another gas but one which is used as a fumigant to kill fungi on stored grain and artefacts in museums. Also insects!
More importantly, ethylene oxide has been shown to decontaminate honeybee larvae killed by chalkbrood. There’s interesting!
The ethylene oxide further degrades to oxalic acid and we know what that does. To Varroa anyway.
But is the degradation spontaneous – that’s what I’d like to know.
Is there a Chemist in the house…?
There’s enough there to arouse my curiosity so rather than just dismiss it as a myth let’s try it and see what happens. It just so happens that I’ve got a hive of bees here with bad chalkbrood …. I’ll let you know what happens but that will be more anecdotal evidence.

Qualifications for Medicare Part D Subsidies
October 26th 2005
Those that have Medicare - (Note: You
must have both Part A and B of Medicare to qualify for the "Advantage" plan –
Whether or not you qualify for a subsidy), and are of 135% of the FPL
(Federal Poverty Level) –
Income of less than $12,920 per individual or $17,321 per married
couple. Assets of less than $7,500 per individual and less than $12,000
per married couple will qualify for a subsidy. The COST And Premium will
be ZERO – You will pay $2.00 per generic and $5.00 brand name
prescription drugs. Again, NO GAP IN COVERAGE.
The next 2 subsidies can be tricky – BUT – just follow closely – I will
break the subsidy qualification as clearly as I can: Read and reread
# 1 -: If your Income is less than $12,290 per individual and less than
$17,321 per married couple. Take a breather – because this income
allotment is the same as the above – But take Note of the Asset change.
Assets: more than $7,500 - BUT less than $11,500 per individual and
assets of more than $12,000 per individual and less than $23,000 per
married couple, you qualify.
Cost and benefits: No premium – an annual deductible of $50.00 and then
the next amount of your cost should average of 15% for each prescription
– NO GAP IN COVERAGE – after your prescriptions exceed $5,100 you will
pay $2.00 per generic and $5.00 for brand name prescriptions.
# 2 -: Income – At or above $12,290 per individual and
less than $14,355, for a married couple - At or above $17,321 and less
than $19,245. Assets – less than $11,500 or less than $$23,000 per
Benefits: This qualified plan will also have a $50.00 deductible and
then the next amount of your cost should average of 15% for each
prescription – NO GAP IN COVERAGE – after your prescriptions exceed
$5,100 you will pay $2.00 per generic and $5.00 for brand name
COST - of this plan is somewhat different, and is totally dependent is
your personal FPL.
# A - Between 136% and 139% of FPL - CMS will pay 75% of your premium.
# B - Between 141% and 144% of FPL - CMS will pay 50% of your premium.
# C - Between 146% and 149% of FPL – CMS will pay 25% of your premium.
EXAMPLE: If your qualified base or standard plan, cost will be $20.00
per month – A. will pay $15.00 – B. will pay $10.00 – C. will pay $5.00
of your monthly premium.

Mindy reports that, "From day one, I failed to acknowledge the biggest sign that something wasn't right – my gut. I felt unsettled from the moment I walked into my so-called interview to the moment I no longer had ties with the company. In further hindsight, the other representatives also displayed unease." The lesson here is to not dismiss your intuition. If it doesn't feel right, scam or not, it's not for you. If you feel coerced or conned, then it's definitely not for you.
The main sales pitch of MLM companies to their participants and prospective participants is not the MLM company's products or services. The products/services are largely peripheral to the MLM model. Rather, the true sales pitch and emphasis is on a confidence given to participants of potential financial independence through participation in the MLM, luring with phrases like "the lifestyle you deserve" or "independent distributor." Erik German's memoir My Father's Dream documents the real life failures of German's father as he is lured into "get-rich-quick" schemes such as Amway. The memoir illustrates the multi-level marketing sales principle known as "selling the dream".
Create a website. Be sure to check the policies of the company you're working with to see what they allow regarding websites. Many MLM companies offer you your own website or a page on their website, and others allow you to make your own. If you can, you should create your own website, because you should try to differentiate yourself from your competitors. If you're not allowed to make a website directly about your business, then make one covering a topic related to your business. For example, if you sell health and wellness products, then start a health and wellness website or blog. You can hire someone to design and build a site for you, or you can use a platform like Squarespace, Wix, Wordpress, or HubSpot to build your own.
Although emphasis is always made on the potential of success and the positive life change that "might" or "could" (not "will" or "can") result, it is only in otherwise difficult to find disclosure statements (or at the very least, difficult to read and interpret disclosure statements), that MLM participants are given fine print disclaimers that they as participants should not rely on the earning results of other participants in the highest levels of the MLM participant pyramid as an indication of what they should expect to earn. MLMs very rarely emphasize the extreme likelihood of failure, or the extreme likelihood of financial loss, from participation in MLM. MLMs are also seldom forthcoming about the fact that any significant success of the few individuals at the top of the MLM participant pyramid is in fact dependant on the continued financial loss and failure of all other participants below them in the MLM pyramid.
MLM is basically a Multi-Level Marketing. It is a kind of marketing structure where the product or service flows on Word of Mouth publicity and most of the companies avoid advertisements when following such structure. Advertisements requires a huge some of money which in turn raises the cost of the product but there's no change in quality whereas the amount which was supposed to be paid to the advertisers and middle men or distribution channel is distributed among the distributors of the company.
When it comes to lead services, most businesses do not have as much to offer you as we do. In fact, most of our competitors do not even offer true qualified leads. Instead, they pull as much information as they can from public records, especially from secondhand public records databases that may not be accurate in the first place. After all, when was the last time you saw one of those “data aggregator” websites that was actually legitimate?
In April 2006, the FTC proposed a Business Opportunity Rule intended to require all sellers of business opportunities—including MLMs—to provide enough information to enable prospective buyers/participants to make an informed decision about acquiring/joining a business venture with information disclosed about the average likelihood of monetary profitability (and the extent of monetary profitability, if any) of acquiring/joining the business venture. In March 2008, however, the FTC removed "Network Marketing" (i.e. MLM) companies from the proposed Business Opportunity Rule, thus leaving MLM participants without the ability to make an informed choice of entering or not entering MLMs based on the disclosed likelihood of success and profitability:
I would like to try the instagram. I have been in this business since January 5 and not doing very well. Took me a month just to get my children to join & this company is actually giving out shares as you join. Like I said, it took me a month just to get my children to understand the concept of the shares, after sharing the video of Magic Johnson being interviewed by Ellen Degenerate about his reqret for turning down Nike tennis shoes, with one of the owners of Nike being one of the owners of this company & how this is time sensitive, but no one else is interested. Please help.
Most prospective clients are going to be found online because they are searching for related information and will make the purchase right away. These are the prospects that should be the main focus of any campaign that is being set-up by yourself in order to garner interest. The online world is where the most accessible market is and you are able to work 24/7 without even having to sit on the computer physically.
An example of a high-profile multi-level marketing company defending its practices is Herbalife Ltd., a manufacturer and distributor of weight-loss and nutritional products with more than 500,000 distributors. Although the FTC had been investigating Herbalife, it was activist investor William Ackman who shed a national spotlight on the company by shorting $1 billion of the company’s stock in 2013. Ackman accused the company of operating a pyramid scheme and backed his allegations with a bet the company’s stock price would fall under the weight of the scam.
That not only fosters a positive attitude and atmosphere, but also a lot of structure and activity. Many network marketing companies offer weekly calls, local meetings, and an annual conference. All of which get members out of the house, building knowledge and developing new skills, while offering them the opportunity to meet new people and deepen existing connections.
Although you can generate business leads yourself by advertising or organizing promotional events, buying your leads is actually going to be the most cost-effective method. In fact, we put a lot of effort into keeping our costs as low as possible so we can pass these savings on to you. Essentially, we go above and beyond what we need to do so you, our customer, is happy. If you have any questions about our high-quality leads, be sure to contact us now so we can help you. The sooner you get started, the sooner you can start making more money for your business! And isn’t that what it’s all about?
But the truth is, an MLM lead purchase is NOT a purchase, but an investment in your business. One good MLM lead can produce tens of thousands of dollars in volume and revenues. If you understand that, then the pricing should not be as important as the quality and training of the Network marketing lead company. And of course, REPUTATION had a lot to do with the selection as well. Some companies that came across really well, when checked on, did not have a very good reputation for MLM Leads and service. | <urn:uuid:8e56146c-462a-498d-b1ef-92f0878b7994> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://workwithgrantdunn.com/modere-biz-opp-leads-mannatech-biz-opp-leads.html | 2019-02-18T14:00:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247486936.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20190218135032-20190218161032-00563.warc.gz | en | 0.965586 | 1,536 |

CyanogenMod has been growing lately. The AOSP-based custom ROM reached one million unique installs last month, and dozens of devices are currently supported, including a wide array of LG devices. It's time to welcome a new member of that family: the T-Mobile LG myTouch.
It could oftentimes be unstable and not properly tested, lacking any changelogs, but eventually evolving into alphas, betas, release candidates, and finally stable releases.
Like a large number of LG devices, this one is being worked on by CM team member Giulio Cervera (aka Kali-). The T-Mobile LG myTouch, which also goes by the moniker e739, has been added to the cyanogenmod mirror network. It looks as though only nightlies are available right now, no stable releases. Still, if you're using this mid-range phone and crave the comforting embrace of our favorite cyan-colored robot buddy, you can get your bleeding-edge action on at the source link below. | <urn:uuid:23e8cc3b-0fc5-4f26-b1bf-774ea6f403b9> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/02/14/cyanogenmod-adds-yet-another-device-the-t-mobile-lg-mytouch-to-the-official-supported-list/ | 2017-01-22T10:07:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560281421.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095121-00316-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950251 | 210 |
Wisteria done, or so I thought until I popped the image onto the computer, and then I see my poor ladybird (or ladybug to my American readers) hasn’t grown her spots yet. So this will be remedied this evening. I now have one line X, Y and Z to do, plus I think some butterflies, and then the bottom border. So getting close. The wisteria flowers have outlines on the chart but as I started to do them I was not sure I liked them, then my hubby said “I don’t like that it just looks like coloured boxes now”. That was it the back stitching came out and they will remain as they are now which I think is more realistic looking.
This is a wonderful SAL group and with their support I can see myself finishing the 2nd of my UFOs. We each work on our own project so its just seeing all the different things growing and taking shape. Our only commitment is to post a picture of our progress every three weeks. If you don’t comment for a few months your name is taken off the list but no one will contact you or hassle you and we all miss the occasional posts when holidays or illness or just life itself takes over. Why not visit and see what the others are up to. Our members are all over the world so you have to allow for the fact we are in different time zones. If you like what you see and would like to join us please contact the first name on the list Avis, who kindly sends an email a few days before to remind us that its time to post our updates, and keeps us all up to date with new members etc.

Facts and Events
He was born Henri of Anjou, and was known as Henry Curtmantle (Henri Courtmanteau) or Henry FitzEmpress. Plantagenêt was not used as the family name until the fifteenth century.
Henry II (5 March 1133 – 6 July 1189), also known as Henry Curtmantle, Henry FitzEmpress or Henry Plantagenet, ruled as Count of Anjou, Count of Maine, Duke of Normandy, Duke of Aquitaine, Count of Nantes, King of England (1154–89) and Lord of Ireland; at various times, he also controlled Wales, Scotland and Brittany. Henry was the son of Geoffrey of Anjou and Matilda, daughter of Henry I of England. He became actively involved by the age of 14 in his mother's efforts to claim the throne of England, then occupied by Stephen of Blois, and was made Duke of Normandy at 17. He inherited Anjou in 1151 and shortly afterwards married Eleanor of Aquitaine, whose marriage to Louis VII of France had recently been annulled. Stephen agreed to a peace treaty after Henry's military expedition to England in 1153: Henry inherited the kingdom on Stephen's death a year later.
Henry was an energetic and sometimes ruthless ruler, driven by a desire to restore the lands and privileges of his royal grandfather, Henry I. During the early years of the younger Henry's reign he restored the royal administration in England, re-established hegemony over Wales and gained full control over his lands in Anjou, Maine and Touraine. Henry's desire to reform the relationship with the Church led to conflict with his former friend Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury. This controversy lasted for much of the 1160s and resulted in Becket's murder in 1170. Henry soon came into conflict with Louis VII and the two rulers fought what has been termed a "cold war" over several decades. Henry expanded his empire, often at Louis' expense, taking Brittany and pushing east into central France and south into Toulouse; despite numerous peace conferences and treaties no lasting agreement was reached. By 1172, he controlled England, large parts of Wales, the eastern half of Ireland and the western half of France, an area that would later come to be called the Angevin Empire.
Henry and Eleanor had eight children. As they grew up, tensions over the future inheritance of the empire began to emerge, encouraged by Louis and his son King Philip II. In 1173 Henry's heir apparent, "Young Henry", rebelled in protest; he was joined by his brothers Richard and Geoffrey and by their mother, Eleanor. France, Scotland, Flanders and Boulogne allied themselves with the rebels. The Great Revolt was only defeated by his vigorous military action and talented local commanders, many of them "new men" appointed for their loyalty and administrative skills. Young Henry and Geoffrey revolted again in 1183, resulting in Young Henry's death. The Norman invasion of Ireland provided lands for his youngest son John, but Henry struggled to find ways to satisfy all his sons' desires for land and immediate power. Philip successfully played on Richard's fears that Henry would make John king, and a final rebellion broke out in 1189. Decisively defeated by Philip and Richard and suffering from a bleeding ulcer, Henry retreated to Chinon in Anjou, where he died.
Henry's empire quickly collapsed during the reign of his youngest son John. Many of the changes Henry introduced during his long rule, however, had long-term consequences. Henry's legal changes are generally considered to have laid the basis for the English Common Law, while his intervention in Brittany, Wales and Scotland shaped the development of their societies and governmental systems. Historical interpretations of Henry's reign have changed considerably over time. In the 18th century, scholars argued that Henry was a driving force in the creation of a genuinely English monarchy and, ultimately, a unified Britain. During the Victorian expansion of the British Empire, historians were keenly interested in the formation of Henry's own empire, but they also expressed concern over his private life and treatment of Becket. Late-20th-century historians have combined British and French historical accounts of Henry, challenging earlier Anglo-centric interpretations of his reign.
Henry was made duke of Normandy, and upon his father's death in 1151 he inherited the Angevin territories. His early attempts to reclaim the British throne, which he claimed through his mother, were unsuccessful. His marriage to Eleanor brought him vast territories in France. He invaded England in 1152-3, forcing King Stephen to acknowledge him as heir to the throne, which he ascended in 1154, thus controlling much of France and all of England. His sons and wife joined with Philip of France to defeat Henry in 1189, the year in which he died. He was succeeded by his son Richard. His son John later became king also.
Henry became Duke of Normandy when his father abdicated in his favor in 1150, and inherited the titles of Count of Anjou, Maine and Mortaine upon his father's death in 1151. After his marriage in 1152 he became Duke of Aquitaine and Count of Poitiers, by right of his wife. When King Stephen of England died in 1154, he inherited his mother's claim and became King of England. Finally, he created the title of Lord of Ireland with its partial conquest in 1171. He gave Mortain to King Stephen's son, William of Blois, in 1153. From 1170-1183 he shared his original patrimony of Normandy, Anjou, Maine and Mortaine with his son, Henry, the Young King. In 1172 he gave his wife's inheritance of Aquitaine and Poitiers to their son, Richard, and in 1185 he gave the Lordship of Ireland to their son, John. | <urn:uuid:c53bcf8c-ea85-4f2c-9ce2-3c61778e9496> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Henry_II_of_England_(1) | 2015-11-27T03:28:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398447906.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205407-00006-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.987009 | 1,235 |

US Navy Pledges More Money For Cleanup Of Island Near Puerto Rico
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico: The U.S. Navy has set aside US$200 million (€129 million) for the removal of military waste in Vieques island, just east of Puerto Rico’s main island, authorities announced Tuesday.
The money will be used in the next seven years to remove explosives in the island’s eastern region, the site of most previous military training exercises, said Richard Mach, with the Navy’s environment office.
More than 9,000 acres (3,600 hectares) of the almost 23,000 acres (9,300 hectares) that the Navy occupied for several decades will be scanned for contaminants, he said.
The Navy previously used Vieques as its main Atlantic training site, combining air, sea and land maneuvers. It ended them in 2003 following years of local protests after an errant bomb killed a civilian guard.
About 775 acres (315 hectares) have been cleared since the cleanup began in 2005, with officials uncovering nearly 15,000 live munitions and recycling about 1,900 tons (1,724 metric tons) of scrap.Back to Top | <urn:uuid:8604a1e1-f8d6-47e8-a1dc-cb39aea365ae> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | http://hrana.org/news/2008/03/navy-pledges-puerto-rico-cleanup-money/ | 2021-12-02T22:55:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362297.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20211202205828-20211202235828-00589.warc.gz | en | 0.924618 | 247 |
If you’ve recently been involved in an accident and filed an insurance claim, you will almost certainly get a call from an insurance adjuster. This person is responsible for getting more details from you about your accident in order to judge their client’s culpability and any settlement amount.
These adjusters can be from third-party companies, government entities, or the corporation itself. While they may seem kind and helpful, they are also always looking out for the best interests of their companies. Insurance adjusters have dozens of cases to close, and they would like to close yours as quickly and cheaply as possible. You must be careful when talking to insurance company adjusters since a statement you may believe to be innocuous can have heavy repercussions down the line.
If you can, you should hire a personal injury lawyer before you receive a call from your claims adjuster. You are entirely within your right to speak to an attorney, and we encourage you to talk through the possible series of questions with them. Attorney Freddy Saavedra offers free consultations, so you can talk to us before you even begin.
Of course, you should always speak candidly and honestly about your car accident or injury. Insurance fraud is a serious business, and we would never recommend you do anything but tell the whole truth about the events leading up to your car accident. However, adjusters can sometimes twist your words or read between the lines to make what you say seem false or disingenuous, so it’s essential to be prepared with your statement.What Should You Not Say to An Insurance Adjuster?
It is important that you do not accidentally admit fault when speaking to an insurance adjuster. Often, unrepresented or uninformed clients will make offhand remarks that come back to haunt them when it comes to getting a settlement.
Your personal injury lawyer will help you speak to your insurance adjuster. Car insurance companies will often try to get a recorded statement over the phone. This kind of statement is much more difficult to control, as they can ask leading questions or make inferences you never meant to imply.
Stay as courteous as possible over the phone without being overly polite or deferential. If there were witnesses, refrain from identifying them if possible. You can even counter by requesting their information, as they may be bluffing and trying to get witness information out of you. Your witness may be far less careful than you about what they say to an insurance company, so you must keep their official contributions as concise as possible.
It’s much better to give a written statement to the car accident insurance company if possible. It is legal to decline a recorded interview and ask where to send a written record of the accident as it occurred. A personal injury lawyer will also help you know which questions to answer from the insurance company, as well as which questions to avoid. You are also allowed to schedule your recorded interview with the insurance company adjuster in the presence of your lawyer, which we recommend if you plan on speaking over the phone.What Do Auto Insurance Adjusters Look For?
Auto insurance adjusters are looking for any factors that could limit the amount you could claim for damages, medical expenses, or pain and suffering. Insurance companies look for ways to minimize their client’s culpability or dispute your case to reduce the payment amount.
Claims adjusters will already have certain documents available to them, like any eyewitness reports, medical bills, or police reports. They will go through these documents carefully, and may also try to find anything sketchy in your history, especially if your claim is closer to their maximum payout.
Insurance company adjusters are also looking for any vulnerability on your behalf, so make sure you stay firm, stay truthful, and stick to your words. Honesty is vital to this part of the process, but so is conciseness. Say exactly as much as you need to, but no more.
Auto insurance adjusters will also likely come to take a look at your vehicle or request pictures of the damage for which you’re claiming compensation. Some adjusters will require you to go to a specific repair shop and may ask you to shop around to find the lowest estimate, and only pay that amount for repairs.How Do You Negotiate With An Insurance Adjuster?
Strong negotiation skills are vital when working with adjusters. Their job is to protect the company’s money, and are looking for anything that can allow them to lower a settlement offer even more.
We cannot stress enough how important having legal counsel is during this process. An underrepresented claimant is easy pickings for these professionals, and you may end up with an offer that ends up being far less than what you need. In general, clients with professional personal injury lawyers receive over three times the amount of unrepresented claimants.
There’s no need to hate or look down on insurance company adjusters. They’re just doing their job. But you also need to make sure you’re looking out for yourself. Trying to be nice or understanding to insurance companies is a habit that can hurt you in the long run, so be vigilant about your language and discuss it with your lawyer before speaking.
Your claims adjuster may also be lower on the rung than you might realize. They sometimes have a certain maximum amount that’s lower than the insurance company’s maximum. In these cases, they’ll have to consult with a higher-up to verify the amount payable to you, giving you more time to speak with your lawyer and cement your case.
They may try to rush you, but as long as you file a lawsuit on your claim within the statute of limitations, you have the right to take your time. Don’t just sit on your claim, of course, but don’t be fooled by their claims of “limited-time.” You have as much time as you need.
Remember, you are the one who got in the accident. You are always the expert in the room, and holding firm in that knowledge will give you a world of advantage in negotiations. The claims process can make you feel helpless, which is where having an attorney at your back can be essential to keeping you motivated and giving you the legal jargon you may need to process your claim.How Long Does It Take For An Insurance Adjuster to Come Out?
Most insurance companies start by requesting images of the car to assess the amount of property damage. However, some prefer to send out an adjuster in person to look at the car and decide whether it’s still drivable or completely totaled.
This process generally happens within days of the accident, so you should try and get in touch with an attorney as soon as possible. You may even get a call the next day. Even if it happens earlier than expected, don’t panic. Your lawyer should be able to guide you through how to speak to them when they arrive. No matter what, it’s a great idea to call your lawyer as soon as you hear the insurance adjuster will come out.
When they come out, they will likely ask you questions about the car and the accident while they’re taking pictures. Just like over the phone, be courteous. Say no more than you need to. They are trained to be friendly to keep your guard down. A consultation with your legal counsel should help you avoid further pitfalls in their presence.How Can A Personal Injury Attorney Help Me?
We cannot stress enough how helpful a personal injury lawyer can be in negotiations with claims adjusters and insurance companies. That’s why we at Saavedra Law Firm offer free consultations. We know that without us, your chances of receiving what you deserve can go down significantly.
You should use an injury lawyer, in particular, since this form of law is complex and relies on an intimate and extensive knowledge of types of damages and trends in settlement awards. An experienced attorney will keep you from sending extraneous offers when you've hit the limit, and when to accept the amount offered with confidence.
The time directly after a car accident is often stressful and confusing. You may have significant physical or mental injuries, as well as having to deal with damage to your vehicle, all on top of your regular life. Having an attorney dedicated to this type of law can be your saving grace when it all becomes too much. They can take a second look to find things you might have missed, or help you draft a letter to the adjuster that outlines every detail.
Attorney Freddy Saavedra is committed to serving his community in this way. Being a help to those in this difficult time is a top priority to all of us. As part of our commitment to aiding justice, we offer a completely free consultation you can book over the phone, 24/7. We also charge no fees unless you receive compensation.
Attorney Freddy Saavedra offers services in Spanish, as well.

Will anti-retroviral therapy (ART) help me?
Q: I am a 38 years old female suffering from HIV. I got infected from my husband who died 12 years back. My CD4 count is 150, viral load is 2,70,078 and I have just started anti-retroviral therapy. I want to know how long I can survive? Can anti-retroviral therapy prevent all illnesses?

Growing confidence attracts more foreign investment in Morocco
The significant jump in foreign direct investment in Morocco confirms the growing confidence of international corporations in the country’s business climate. Morocco ranked fourth in Africa in their amount in the latest ranking by the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) thanks to last year’s whopping 36% increase over 2017 to reach $3.6 billion, primarily in the finance and automotive sectors.
Data show that the flow of foreign investment to North Africa increased by 7% to reach $14 billion, the largest share of which went to Egypt and Morocco, while Algeria and Tunisia received between $1 billion and $2 billion in investments.
UNCTAD said Morocco continues to benefit from a relatively stable economic performance, in addition to having a diversified economy that is appealing to foreign investment in finance, renewable energy, infrastructure and the automotive industry.
The largest investment made last year in the country was the acquisition of 53% of Saham, Morocco’s largest insurer, for $1 billion by the South African Sanlam Group.
African countries, including Morocco, are increasingly relying on special economic zones, including free zones, with the availability of 237 such areas on the continent providing a special tax environment to attract foreign investment in various value-added industries.
According to UNCTAD, special economic zones represent an important means of export promotion for most countries, especially those of manufactured goods. For Morocco, these zones represent about 60% of the net non-oil exports.
In a new initiative that reflects the solidity of the Moroccan business climate, the Casablanca Financial Pole and the World Financial Centre in Toronto, Canada, signed a partnership agreement to promote sustainable investment opportunities between Canada, Morocco and the rest of Africa.
According to Manal Bernoussi, director of strategy, marketing and communications at Casablanca Finance City, this “agreement will open the door to exploring opportunities for cooperation between North America, Morocco and Africa.” She also noted that this new partnership with the Canadian financial institution would allow Casablanca’s financial pole to reinforce its network of partners and strengthen its international cooperation.
The agreement reflects both Rabat’s interest in the Canadian market and the attractiveness of the African continent to investors from North America. The agreement will provide a platform to promote best practices in green financing and environmentally friendly infrastructure, in addition to sharing knowledge and expertise to accelerate the development of professional, educational and training programmes in finance.
Jennifer Reynolds, president & CEO of Toronto Finance International, said that through cooperation with Casablanca’s financial hub, her company will facilitate the exchange of information and expertise to create new opportunities for enhanced international cooperation. “Africa is one of the fastest growing economic regions in the world and its trade and investment relations with Canada are improving,” said Reynolds during the signing ceremony.
American corporation Keller Williams, a global real estate network, recently announced that it had chosen Morocco as a new centre for its business. The company said it would launch its business from Casablanca after being encouraged by Morocco’s previous ranking on the 2018 Africa Investment Index, issued by the international group Quantum Global Research Lab, as the most attractive destination for business.
In order to ensure the development of the future structure for investments, the Moroccan government has launched the activity of collective real estate agencies, as this type of move has proven effective globally as an investment mechanism.
Moroccan Minister of Economy and Finance Mohamed Benchaaboun said the activity of these agencies will contribute to modernising financing methods and instruments and will help create a dynamic in the financial markets so that the latter can play their role in mobilising savings and using them efficiently in investment.
The agencies operate according to strict rules in terms of governance, supervision and investment, making them modern investment tools of high quality. They also meet the needs of some companies in terms of long-term investment backed by real estate assets based on rental income, as well as providing flexibility in terms of access to various real estate markets.
These agencies are expected to contribute to the development of a sufficient and good supply of leased properties in the areas of trade, services, industry and hotels, as well as mobilising new financial resources for companies and helping them restructure their financial positions.
Nezha Hayat, head of the Moroccan Capital Markets Authority, said the launch of the initiatives is part of a strategy to diversify financial instruments that respond to the needs of investors. These initiatives are “a key backing of real estate financing and constitute an essential stage in implementing the specific vision for developing capital markets in order to effectively contribute to financing the economy,” she said. | <urn:uuid:659b7e95-1cae-4289-9cf2-fa17341b152b> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://thearabweekly.com/growing-confidence-attracts-more-foreign-investment-morocco | 2020-04-06T17:51:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585371656216.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200406164846-20200406195346-00377.warc.gz | en | 0.952177 | 955 |

An unfortunate part of being lazy, broke, and hating to leave the house is that I don’t go to many film festivals and I miss out on seeing movies like Upgrade. After it debuted at SXSW recently, Leigh Whannell’s action, sci-fi, horror film garnered a ton of praise from folks I trust. And after watching this first trailer, I see why.
I know this is only two-minutes worth of footage, but Upgrade combines all of my favorite things. It’s an action-centric revenge movie with a dystopian sci-fi plot and exploitation style horror leanings. It’s just…all I can do is giggle. There’s a dude with a gun in his hand. IN HIS HAND! Yes!
Leigh Whannell is probably best known for creating and writing a bunch of Saw movies, creating and writing a bunch of Insidious movies (interestingly enough, Insidious:The Last Key Blu-ray today), and generally working with James Wan. His only other directing credit is Insidious: Chapter 3, which isn’t great, but he’s been around a lot of horror, and Upgrade looks totally bonkers. Gory, violent, ridiculous, and straight up off-the-wall. Even the neu-metal soundtrack is somehow spot on.
Here’s the synopsis:
After his wife is killed during a brutal mugging that also leaves him paralyzed, Grey Trace (Logan Marshall-Green, SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING, PROMETHEUS) is approached by a billionaire inventor with an experimental cure that will “upgrade” his body. The cure–an Artificial Intelligence implant called STEM–gives Grey physical abilities beyond anything experienced, and the ability to relentlessly claim vengeance against those who murdered his wife and left him for dead.
Upgrade definitely has a home in my world. Crazy concept, lots of blood and guts, low-budget VOD genre trappings. It looks like a total blast. Fresh off having a hell of a 2017, one that included producing an Oscar-winning horror film (Get Out), Blumhouse will release Upgrade on June 1. Just in case you worried about them going all mainstream and forgetting their absurd horror roots. | <urn:uuid:d89d4b16-6925-4128-97f8-4305f8421338> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.thelastthingisee.com/2018/04/this-upgrade-trailer-has-action-revenge.html | 2019-07-19T10:58:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526210.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719095313-20190719121313-00286.warc.gz | en | 0.957049 | 475 |

The first We ❤ Roleplay event for 2015 is open and simply packed with wonderful inspiration and “must haves”. From EMO-tions a gorgeous a loosened plait hairstyle with an intricate ( and optional headpiece). Included is a hud to give you a few choices on the colour of the headpiece, I love choices don’t you?
One choice that was difficult to make was selecting a colour of this flowing dress from Peqe, check out both sides of the display as one has pure bold colour choices like red, white , black, whilst the other side has gorgeous graduated colour dresses. This soft shifting shades of green spoke the loudest to me, which one calls your name?
I found and fell in love with a skin from DeeTaleZ, yes another from this store that I couldn’t resist, I think it fits me perfectly and I was thrilled to be able to grab the applier to wear my Maitreya mesh body. I did choose to keep my Slink hands and feet on ( wearing XS is definitely the way to go) and slipped on a coat of bold polish from La Boheme.
My shoes are for Slink mid feet and added just the right finishing touch for my look, that I had to find a way to show them off. The Chicago heels are from Preptopia and although I got these when they were released for another event I have noticed they are available in three colour choices at the current round of Designer Circle.

Xiaomi has responded to the current status of issues Poco F1 users complained about it in the previous week. Details on what measures are being taken and when the users can expect the issues to be fixed are mentioned in the statement. But besides addressing the issues, Xiaomi has also given feedback related to the upcoming Android Pie update. This makes Poco F1, one of the first non-Google smartphone, to get the Android 9 Pie update.
The Poco F1 users can receive the Android 9 Pie open beta version in the coming days, as per the new blog post. The Chinese smartphone manufacturing company has also welcomed the users to join the global beta version of MIUI 10. The MIUI 10 update based on the Android Oreo was released in September this year. Now, Xiaomi has been working to push the update to other users as well.
What’s more, Xiaomi is also working hard to fix the issue regarding battery percentage in Poco F1. Besides, the developers are creating a feature to let users enjoy full-screen mode along with certain apps having a hidden notch.
Other issues which some Poco F1 users reported in the previous week like Android Auto issues and compatibility issues of Asphalt 8/9 have also been solved. Moreover, the software team has also fixed the Weather and Time overlapping problem in the MIUI 10 for Poco F1.
The Poco Launcher will also include certain new features such as customized application icon and size as well as desktop grip. Xiaomi has also mentioned that the developers are working on a dark mode on Poco Launcher. You can also expect Widevine L1 support for HD Netflix streaming.
So with all such major changes being made, we hope that the Poco F1 users will be happy. | <urn:uuid:5c4aa739-2148-4379-90cd-6aaa54b2f597> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://theleaker.com/poco-f1-to-get-android-pie-open-beta-update-in-the-coming-days/ | 2024-03-01T13:35:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947475311.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240301125520-20240301155520-00231.warc.gz | en | 0.957363 | 361 |
The last month of 2014 is finally here. For many I’m sure will glad this year is coming to an end. We start off this month with the Sun continuing its transit of adventurous Sagittarius–and bringing with it plenty of fiery holiday fun! On December 4th self-assertive Mars enters eccentric Aquarius and has us marching to the beat of our own drum.
Heavy socializing is favored on December 6th as the Gemini Full Moon has us flitting from flower to flower like a butterfly. Expansive Jupiter turns retrograde on December 8th. This reversal of the planet of aspiration will have us reviewing and reflecting in order to ensure the success of our long-range goals. Graceful Venus enters into ambitious and hard working Capricorn on December 10th encouraging more seriousness in relationships. The big news this month is the sixth transformational square between rebellious Uranus and reconstructive Pluto on December 15th.
These world shaking outer planets symbolically represent where we need to renovate our institutionalized habits and beliefs that keep us tied to the past. Rebelling against authorities and rules may be a common response but isn’t as important as overcoming resistance to change within ourselves. It’s time to get serious about setting and achieving goals on December 21st when the Sun enters earthy
Capricorn along with a New Moon. On same day, the drive for freedom and innovation begins to assert itself as revolutionary Uranus shifts into forward gear. Lastly, responsible Saturn enters curious Sagittarius on December 23rd for a two and half year stay, giving us a chance to develop depth of character and strengthen our integrity.
“Have a Happy & Transformational Holiday Season”
