A new independent centre for orchestrating a multi-organisation response to child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) has been called for in a report on tackling the growing online threat.
The report, published today (April 15) by PA Consulting, said there is an opportunity for a new ‘Online Harms Safety Centre’ (OHSC) to reach “maximum impact within the most cost-effective system”.
The Home Office, Facebook, Twitter, the Internet Watch Foundation, the National Police Chiefs’ Council and the National Crime Agency (NCA) were spoken to while developing the report.
It recommended that the centre should be set up by the Government but run independently along similar lines to the National Cyber Security Centre and the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure.
PA Consulting also raised the absence of a coordinated national response to CSEA as a concern.
The report also found that CSEA operates differently on the dark web, the surface web and offline and recommended there should be a tailored response for each platform with a focus on educating potential victims.
Another threat the OHSC should focus on disrupting is dark web webmasters who provide services that allow offenders to share ‘tradecraft’ and CSEA imagery, as well advice on evading detection and arrest.
In the UK, the law enforcement response is led by the NCA’s Child Exploitation Online Protection (CEOP) unit. However, the report found that while strategies have improved significantly, beyond senior government and law enforcement it was not always clear how these should be implemented.
Additionally, while technology was recognised as an enabler of CSEA, its use to tackle these threats needs to be a primary focus.
One respondent to the research told PA Consulting “only some countries are beginning to take the CSEA threat seriously due to cultural differences, and so gaining global consistency of approach would help”.
The report noted that sharing both national and international methodologies must continue among the Government, law enforcement and the technology industry.
Because internet companies have struggled to control the sharing of child sexual abuse imagery and its associated tradecraft, it was also recommended that law enforcement ensures direct proportionate and balanced regulation of the surface web.
However, it warned that any new regulation would “hinder efforts if it deploys a sledgehammer response to this nuanced and evolving threat”.
Nick Newman, defence, security and public safety expert at PA Consulting and the report author, said: “We need to urgently address the growing threats to our children online. The threat is evolving fast and a unified, consistent and cost-effective approach is especially challenging given the collective response draws on a diverse and highly complex stakeholder landscape. | 2019-04-26T09:46:17 | https://www.policeprofessional.com/news/report-calls-for-rethinking-of-child-sexual-exploitation-and-abuse-response/ |
Just days after meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House, Kanye West has made a bizarre return to Twitter.
“You know when people try to influence you through social media and try to tell you what to do or if you post something that’s positive on Instagram and it gets taken down if it’s not a part of a bigger agenda -- that’s like mind control,” he says in the video.
"I feel like when people tell me what to do, I feel like they’re touching my brain. They’re trying to control our minds. They’re trying to control my mind and when someone tells me what to do and what I can wear and I can’t wear I feel like they are touching my brain,” he continued.
“I’ve forgotten how to talk not clear because I’m so programmed to talk clear and sound proper -- that gets in the way of how we feel," he added.
The 'I Love It' rapper then went on to talk about his "straight up Sigmund Freud" IQ score and how people telling him what to do makes him "feel like they're touching my brain."
"Imagine you like cut your skull open and somebody like touched your brain with their hand, how that would hurt you," he explained, "That's how it hurts me when people try to tell me what to do when I'm going from my heart."
Ye then changed the subject, accusing Sony of barring him from purchasing the publishing rights of his own music.
"I'm really doing this because I went to go buy my publishing from Sony/ATV, and they said it's 8 million, 9 million dollars," he said. "And when I went to buy it, they told me no, I couldn't buy my publishing. They told me I had the money to buy my publishing, and they told me I couldn't buy my publishing."
"I am not crazy. I can ramp up if I suffer from sleep deprivation," he said, adding that he was "the best living recording artist," with the spirits of "Fela Kuti, Bob Marley and Tupac Shakur running through him".
"We know who the best," West said. "We know." | 2019-04-26T05:55:35 | https://10daily.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/a181014scv/kanye-west-is-back-on-twitter-talking-about-mind-control-20181014 |
It is a great honor to greet you, as the first President of the Saudi Diabetes Society, I sincerely wish you happiness and peace in your life and work.
It has been 5 years since the establishment of the Saudi Diabetes Society. Back then, it has become a nationally serious disease. The number of diabetic patients in Saudi is predicted to double by 2050. To be prepared for such a situation, we are committed to be working in diverse fields, such as medical care, basic research, nursing, nutrition, and social welfare, and to be actively engaged in diabetes research and treatment even at this moment. In addition, diabetic patients and their families gain diabetes information and participate in various activities through more close communication with the society.
This year,2018, the Saudi Diabetes society, as a national leader in setting standards for diabetes research and treatment, will make a greater effort to free the kingdom from diabetes. To enhance our position at home and abroad, the Middle East Diabetes & Obesity Congress (MEDOC), which is held annually, is scheduled to be held this year, with several domestic and international experts participating.
For over 5 years since its foundation in 2013, the Saudi Diabetes Society has been making steady progress in various aspects, such as academic research on diabetes, patient treatment, and education. It would have been impossible without the efforts of all executives and members. The Saudi Diabetes Society has planned more active research activities and projects for this year as well, in return for your support. I would like to ask you for your continued interest and encouragement. | 2019-04-22T10:42:08 | http://saudidiabetes.com/index.php/donate |
People tend to fall into 3 different categories of how they view money, which ultimately impacts how they manage it. How important should it be to you?
Love of money/materialism: Thus is the most extreme view whereas you practically worship money. Earning more and obtaining more just to earn more and have more. It can be a trap that creates a lack of satisfaction. Although it may at first seem hard to digest, poor people can worship money and wealthy people may not because it is not about the amount that you have.
Don’t care: Another extreme view is not to care at all about money, although this doesn’t seem as common. This can cause problems because you may not use your money wisely and will probably be rather reckless.
Balanced approach: Thus is where you view money for what it is; a resource that has been given to us to use wisely. But what exactly is the wise use of money? It is taking care of your family, the poor, investing and saving wisely, spending within your means, and not being too emotionally wrapped up with money. It may mean owning a 5,000 square foot house or it may mean renting a small apartment; shopping at Wal-Mart or Neiman Marcus. Confusing, isn’t it?
Just realize what the purpose of money is and don’t let anyone tell you how much or how little you need. Learn, seek advice, and try not to get stressed out over it. | 2019-04-26T07:45:18 | https://belbolcpa.com/blog/?m=201809 |

No, This is not the Sample.
Sample will be uploaded soon.
nice entry. the slick smoothness of your work belies the challenges in successfully creating an italics font in Fonstruct. congrats.
Hehe... and so the Fun Banter Begins!
I admire the strength and simplicity of these glyphs. The lack of optical correction brings tension to glyphs containing diagonal stroke prior to italicization. But they lean out of line a lot less than other italic jobs I have seen here :) And I think they turned in some of your coolest characters!
Try narrowing the c a little bit. Oh, and I don’t think you need to include SportsComp in the name of the font, just the tags.
I really dig the little corner detail defining the D. Did I miss that at first, or is it a new addition? In any case, I wanted to suggest you try cutting some of this font’s ‘square’ corners just like that. Particularly these obtuse ones like in the D (though you could try both), and even more specifically the ones on the top left of certain lowercase characters (c, e, o, m, n, etc.).
If you like the idea, if it’s really as slick and contemporary as I imagine, please try it on a clone (of course if you haven’t already). TheItalicJob has a great voice and needs very little tuning as it is.
This design feels so timeless and solid. I look at your sample and feel like I am about to experience a classy commercial selling the Swiss version of a sports watch. Perhaps I am responding in part to the word “Synchronized” (funny that you chose this over “Speed Skating”, though I see why you wanted to included y). Still, I notice throughout this palpable measured regularity. It’s a precisely engineered, if coldly calculated, quality as if this were designed by metronome.
Kudos on the impressive consistency and usability!
Thanks Frodo7 and Will.i for these kind words!
@Will.i: the reason I have "SportsComp." on the name is because I had released a font with that same name a while back, at the time I wasn't sure about the result so I turned it private again. Since this is a diferent font, to avoid confusion I added "SportsComp." to the name. It's funny you say stuff like cutting the square corners cause I tried that with the older font :) Maybe I'll try it on this one when the competition is over.
A really dynamic piece of work jm.
I think I cut my finger on this!
Congratulations! FontStruct Staff have deemed your FontStruction worthy of special mention. “TheItalicJob_SportsComp” is now a Top Pick. | 2019-04-19T04:17:04 | https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/296106/theitalicjob_sportscomp |

A great way to save some money on your car or truck insurance is to drive your vehicle less frequently. In case you have any kind of issues relating to where in addition to how to use young driver Car insurance, you’ll be able to email us with the page. Many of today’s best auto insurance companies offer discounts to customers for low-mileage, incentivizing people to keep their cars parked. If you can walk instead of drive, you can get some good exercise and save money on your insurance.
Don’t allow inferior parts to be used to repair your car, and it will last longer. Some insurance companies may send you to a repair shop that doesn’t necessarily have your car’s best interests in mind. Make sure that they use parts directly from the manufacturer to ensure a perfect young driver car insurance fit and that they meet federal safety standards.
Having your VIN number etched into your window can lower your insurance premiums up to 15 percent. Sometimes the VIN number is already etched into the car’s window, but will raise young driver car insurance the price of the car $300 to $900. You can also etch the number into the window yourself for $19.95. | 2019-04-25T20:00:09 | http://tebakangka.net/ads/better-ways-to-save-on-young-driver-car-insurance-explained-in-detail/ |

Crowns are used to protect a weakened or heavily filled tooth, or for cosmetic reasons. They are constructed from tooth coloured porcelain, with a metal sub-structure for added strength for posterior teeth.
We also offer Emax porcelain crowns for a natural finish if a metal base is not wanted by the patient.Please ask at your practice for details.
The neighbouring teeth – either natural teeth or implants – are used to support a false tooth or teeth that can then stay in position permanently.
Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, whilst partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.
Dentures can be made from acrylic, Valplast or chrome cobalt.
A root canal treatment is performed when saving a tooth that is badly decayed or has become infected and the only other option is to have it removed. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.
Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected, abscesses may form and it can become very painful. | 2019-04-20T00:19:57 | https://totaldentalcare.co.uk/main/restorative-dentalcare/ |

The neon sign at Plaza Piaxtla Bakery (663 Seneca Avenue, Queens; 718-417-4961) burns through the daytime fog that hovers in Ridgewood, the letters glowing “Pasteles 3 Leches.” The luminous glass tubing of the sign may suggest something lascivious, though all they are selling are many formations of flour bound with butter and sugar, plus bags of chips and soft drinks.
It’s cramped inside. For years, the space has felt like its residents are in mid-move, with rolling racks parked in the center of the room and stacks of dry goods waiting to be shelved. Among the treats on those rolling racks are doughnuts rolled in cinnamon sugar; shaggy, dry biscuits meant to be dunked into hot chocolate and sweet breads cut on the bias, frosted thick with icing and generously sprinkled. Tamales sell out early on the weekends when neighbors come in to order cakes for their grandson’s birthdays and to sip weak coffee from styrofoam cups.
The most emblematic offering is, of course, the tres leches cake. As advertised in the window, it’s a vanilla-scented sponge cake rich with heavy cream, bolstered by evaporated and sweetened condensed milks. Its heft is captured in a plastic clamshell, the slice seemingly bigger than the container that holds it. A glistening strawberry is plunked on top.
The cake is saturated with a cold dairy sweetness released when cake crushes against tongue. The icing is a smooth, fluffy contrast to the porous cake, without the saccharine barrage of Cool Whip. You can promise yourself you won’t eat the thing in one sitting, though you’ll have to sit on your hands until time creeps towards the next mealtime. | 2019-04-21T08:29:43 | https://www.villagevoice.com/2015/05/20/get-seduced-by-tres-leches-cake-at-plaza-piaxtla-bakery-in-queens/ |

If you work in a company, industry, or academic setting and know that GIS or spatial analysis is a part of the requirements for your company or workplace…the following applies to your occupation.
During the late 1840s and very early 1850s, this phrase became common place in the Midwest. At first this was due to its association with traveling circus shows, but as time progressed, applications for the term ‘elephant’ changed. One day, for example, in the town of Carthage, Illinois, a circus made its way through the central part of the County’s town center in May of 1852. Soon after, Asiatic Cholera struck the city and its hotels for the first time, taking thousands of lives over the next few weeks as this disease was spread into in the various towns situated along the local roadways and the Mississippi River.
As caravans occasionally made their way into town, with circus players settling the nearby hotel rooms and residing in tent cities, one rarely had the opportunity to see such a thing as an elephant as one of the main events. For this reason, ‘seeing the elephant’ had very little to do with the animal itself, and so, for the most part, children and parents relied upon the books to learn about these beasts. It wasn’t until these families had the opportunity to travel to one of the larger state fair establishments, that a true elephant, lion, or even camel could be seen. So, in spite of the commonness of this term ‘to see the elephant’ in American history, this phrase more often referred to the numerous public health crises that developed over the years due to poor sanitation, poor living conditions, malnutrition, lack of exposure or immunization regarding any newly introduced diseases making their way by ships. This is just interpretation of the phrase ‘to see the elephant’ in public health history.
Another much broader meaning of the phrase ‘to see the elephant’ is a more traditional interpretation of philosophical meaning of the ‘elephant’ in the history of mankind. This more ancient, philosophical has much broader applications than the midwestern meaning for this phrase. The more traditional ‘elephant’ eluded to with such a phrase pertains to the famous story of several blind men trying to define the elephant that stands before them. A well-known poem, “The Blind Men and the Elephant,” by John Godfrey Saxe (1816-1887), underscores just how fragmentary knowledge can be when it is produced by scientists.
This is especially true regarding the work of epidemiologists, who take numerous steps along numerous avenues of research in order to define, as best they could, the health of a given population. This synopsis of population health is a results of each other’s studies and a review of how each of these studies support and corroborate other similar studies engaged in at numerous levels within a health care system. For population health epidemiologists, the term ‘elephant’ very much defines what it is that these researchers are trying to measure. Epidemiologists work at various levels to better understand the health of a population. When it comes to applying these findings to population health in general, this process is much like several blind men standing around an elephant, providing their own interpretations of the observations they completed about the form, shape and meaning of their individual findings.
The current methods that exist for interpreting population health are performed based on a number of very different methodologies. When we read about the results of a particular study performed at some university or teaching hospital level, or learn something new about the possible causes for increased morbidity and mortality in a particular subclass of people, or find a study suggesting a new line of reasoning about how to prevent contracting an infection or experiencing cancer, we unknowingly may be essentially just re-interpreting the conclusions of these researchers, based on just a small part of the overall picture about population health. Were we to base our lines of reasoning on just the few warnings and fears published by such researchers, we could miss some of the other important components about population health still out there for us to discover and learn to make the best use of. For this reason, all possible avenues for reviewing population health have their own individual roles and purposes.
One level of analysis pertaining to population health that has yet to be fully realized as a potential source for public health knowledge and understanding, pertains to the best use of prescription or drug data. The above illustration demonstrates the levels of data that are already out there for use in population health monitoring practices. Quite a few methods for analyzing population health are in place, and engaged in as part of an ongoing process of measuring the overall performance of the health care system and its various components (insurance agencies, hospitals, doctors, patients, etc.). The level between Federal or National programs and large-scale institutional or agency level programs is a level that is not yet heavily employed as some part of a public health monitoring system, a level one step above our major method of researching such information and reporting our outcomes (in yellow)–the Corporate level (MegaRx and industries) (Hint: click on these images for enlargement and to see the details).
To take a much larger additional look at the ‘elephant of public health’, we have to come to any understanding about what is already out there that is being told, and what avenues of research are still available for engaging in the population health monitoring process. Currently, we make use a number of research methods to engage in public health studies. The following levels of health monitoring have been identified for developing a program design to review a particular population at the level that we are independently capable of and so desire. These levels are defined based on the ways in which individuals and people learn about health practices and performances, and then chose to engage in these practices in some fashion, so as to impact personal and/or population health. Note that for this particular review, a new level of engaging in modified behavior model practices and activities is being introduced–the engagement in this process at the large-scale institutional or corporate level. This level of involvement has only surfaced in recent years as a possible method for measuring population health. The ability to engage in this method of monitoring health, and health practice/health education, has surfaced due to the ability of major service providers to merge their corporate information to such an extent, that large databases have been formed with endless amounts of data pertaining to individuals, groups and overall population health.
At the community level, this possibility of researching population health has come about due to the mergers formed whenever various facilities serving a fairly large but interconnected area in the state decide to combine their services and activities and form a large regional organization, as a part of which, much larger and interconnected databases begin to emerge. At the corporate level, these large databases are formed as a result of large and small buy-outs and the ultimate conglomeration of data that takes place within these megalopolis public health and medical service settings. Traditionally, it is at this level that the least amounts of health conscious work have been performed in order to monitor and change population health. This is largely due to the limited “power” these institutions have in the various fields of medicine and pharmacology. They are for the most part passive observers, meeting the needs of a fairly large consumer population, who in reality can only have a minimal impact on the health care system as a whole. These corporations do not make diagnoses. They do not define the policies for determining how to best treat a patient. They do not produce guidelines for how to best engage in specific health care related practices such as defining the most reliable lab test to perform or drug to be administered. What these corporations do have on their side is their ability to perform larger reviews of data and outcomes retrospectively, at a level and size that few other research groups are capable of performing. The purpose of providing these outcomes may have traditionally been economically driven, with the goals of reducing average costs and saving money on a per patient basis, but now has the additional ability to be employed in such a way that it more than adequately complements those processes that are already in place for measuring population health and program success, with an ability to add new measurements techniques and steps to be taken in order to provide valuable input into the system as a whole. This latter accomplishment is in fact the reason for this review, and will be discussed following a review of methods already in place.
In general, there are several methods in use when reviewing population health. We can define the degree of impact that a particular health education lesson, healthy behavior or disease-inducing pattern has on people in general. We can also use some sort of standard sociological method of defining these different levels of impact, working out way from the smallest groups–the individual–to the largest group–the total population, defining various strata along the way such as family, extended family, associates or friends, local community, town, county, etc. until the total country or world population level is reached. In addition, we can place more of an emphasis on the routes of communication that exist between health-related lessons or disease-related patterns of pathogenicity, using this to demonstrate how each of the different types of individuals become more aware of health and disease. We can also apply to this methodology a review of the various levels of health care that are available, determining whether or not a change occurs in population health due to the activities of physicians, or the activities of an institution or health care insurance program.
Results of a study on one-fifth of the US population, ca. 2006, for Anorexia the syndrome vs. Anorexia the symptom, pointing out the regionalism of health statistics and the use of a hybrid format for mapping based on Census and HEDIS definitions.
These various methods of reviewing ‘the elephant’ also provide us with whatever insights are needed to produce a much better ways to monitor that which is already in place. We can then add to this system by designing new methods to measure and interpret any impacts these changes have on human population health in general. With the exception of Level 7 above, there are a number of methods currently in use for monitoring each level of the health care system as noted above. Many of these activities pertain to such matters as accreditation and quality assurance. Some are simply internal studies engaged in due to other institutional requirements, such as the production of an end-product for a grant-sponsored project or the development of a final report used by the research group to continue the flow of incoming financial support. For this reason, we find almost everything that is monitored has both internal and outside organizations engaged in this process. These outside agencies are typically related to either the reaccreditation process itself, or some specialty group involved with this process for the purpose of making sure the program being reviewed is trustworthy and reliable in terms of the quality of its medical care. It is not unusual for fairly large health care systems to undergo numerous interactions with governmental organizations, special interest groups, and even npo’s in charge of monitoring certain aspects of population health and health care outcomes. We find some agencies to be engaged in monitoring just the process of administration, with limited concern for the outcome and more attention paid to such things as abiding by specific rules or protocols for treatment, or remaining efficient in terms of administration and billing practices. Still other agencies pay close attention to the system as a business, reviewing income activities and behaviors, at times even searching for ways to cut costs when it comes to managing the program being reviewed.
For public health and epidemiological work, there are several levels of epidemiological surveillance that can be related to the system as a whole and the population of the people as a whole. The following explains these levels of review, as they are interpreted for this study.
When we are asked about how we engage in health maintenance and our visit practices without health care providers, we typically think of just two things–ourself and the main doctor or health care provider whom we visit (or at times lack). A few seconds later, we then realize the other services were are receiving related to health, ranging from allied health care providers and agencies outside the typical physician’s office or hospital setting, to the insurer or types of payment programs we like to rely upon to pay for our care. This tetrad of features forms the base of most personal health care systems. Some of the elements are there just during certain periods in life, such as when we can afford them or are working at a place where health insurance is made available, others we use throughout much of our life, such as dietary and exercise practice changes taught by a popular health guru and methods of dealing with and preventing diseases that we learn about from our family, friends and associates. In the professional sense, we rely mostly upon the health care system with its accredited service providers (both regular and complementary health providers) to receive the bulk of our most important care, that is assuming the need for such arises.
Most people purchase medications from a pharmacist (although we could include TCM and ND “pharmacists” into this part of the story as well), whom we tend to interact with on a fairly personal basis, Although there are health care systems that we can interact with that have a pharmacy available on premises and part of the Institutional Healthcare Provider network (IHP), we tend to make use of some sort of outside provider as well. This adds another component to the web we are now weaving, all for the sake of personal health.
Another level in this system (or part of the elephant) can be defined for the agencies that oversee these service providers. These are the agencies which monitor their practice behaviors to ensure that we are receiving some sort of care that meets specific standards. Some of these agencies are higher up on the totem pole of progress in this method of health care monitoring, with those situated higher up usually more often related to better performing programs. For the most part, these agencies or offices/programs exist to ensure adequate health care procedures and “sufficient” medical practices.
Usually we are also familiar with some standard overseer and education facility monitoring the activities of the health care system we are a part of. Within fairly rural settings, the association with such a facility is much harder to see any evidence for, and for the most part may never exist as an active part of the local health care system. The people in these settings tend to remove to a more heavily population area to receive the special services provided by such institutions and their care givers, of take advantage of caravans passing through that offer free or reduced services to these rural settings. Most of us, however, are fairly familiar with the medical education system, its interactions if any with treatment facilities and any additional services if may provide that need to be taken advantage of. This system includes every things from small local care centers serving as clinical sites to the much larger conglomerate such as regional professional groups overseeing the local drug prevention programs being provided, npos targeting teenage girls at risk for pregnancy, or health education organizations with a local office used to produce local classes on CPR and first aid.
A number of other services and agencies are added to this system to produce a fairly complex relationship used for the development of large programs meant to serve large population groups. The two remaining components that can be added to this system are the large-scale international or electronic-processing providers for prescription drug services, and the various forms of health education service providers that exist outside the traditional university/medical school setting. These to groups are, generally speaking, For-Profit agencies with good intentions in terms of public, community and institutional or agency-related health, but they are also consumer-minded businesses with goals related to both internal progress as well as improved population health outcomes.
In a fairly recent article published reviewing the impacts of “For-Profit” status on values at the population level, it was demonstrated that large corporate level programs tend to have better programs than institutional or university driven programs, in terms of content and quality. A few of these may be in violation of certain HIPAA regulations should they not engage in adequate internal policing when it comes to maintaining human privacy related issues at a corporate level.
A number of programs are in place for measuring health performance at nearly all levels, ranging from small special service agencies to national and federal accreditation programs. The following are examples of the various programs already in place that are used to monitor health care services at each of these levels within the health care system. The first examples are of programs that are for the most part initiated and engaged in internally. Once the regional and federal level of monitoring is reached, these programs are primarily for evaluation and accreditation purposes.
The above view of Heart Failure diagnoses defines regions based on Census and HEDIS/NCQA definitions, combined to produce smaller regions in certain parts of the country. In the prevalence population bars, movement to the right indicated greater than the national averages for that age group, with age specific rates analyzed in one year increments. Movement to the left means the national average is greater than the regional average for that age range. In the above example, the SE section shows significantly larger prevalence in the older age, which is expected for the Florida region. The section of New England demonstrates a peak in heart disease at the older working age level; this implied the working class in this region have a greater risk of heart disease than those to the south, such as in the NY-PA-NJ tristate or Mid-Atlantic regions. The healthiest old age population are found in the Pacific NW and the northern Rocky Mountains regions. The localization of this health is missed when we define these two regions using the traditional NCQA and/or Census region definitions, as in the above map. A grid method was developed soon after in order to produce a much more locally sensitive method for mapping regional public health data.
Note: This project came about in 2004/5 due to a request submitted to me by two NIH funded and contracted IT firms devoted to infectious disease monitoring.

I love my cheesy au gratin potatoes but when we being strict about low carbs, potatoes are 'out' and other replacements are 'in'. Sometimes cauliflower can replace potatoes but other times, things like leeks, jicama or turnips fit the bill.
In this dish, turnips do just fine!
When I make these the traditional way, with potatoes, I also use 1 tablespoon of flour to thicken the sauce. If you can't do gluten you obviously need to leave this out, but those just doing 'low carb', you can either leave it out or leave it in. One tablespoon of all purpose flour is about 6 carbs and this is for the WHOLE casserole. Serving this casserole to 8 people is .75 of a carb added. Because of the other ingredients in this recipe it's going to run about 10-12 carbs per serving as it is depending on how big your servings are.
Note the bread crumb topping. This isn't 'needed' but adds so much to this dish if you are 'used to it' on regular potato au gratin. You have a lot of options - use what you have on hand. Pork rinds? Crush or process and use them! Gluten Free Panko crumbs if you can do some carbs but no gluten. If you have any low carb or keto bread on hand, run it through the food processor! Instant bread crumbs. That's what I used as I do not like most low carb almond flour based breads so when I try a new one and don't care for it or have half a loaf left and it's been a couple days... whirl it in a food processor, put it in a Ziploc in the freezer and pull it out any time you need a bread crumb topping! Great on chicken breasts, a mozzarella stick coating or... topping casseroles like these.
Half it if you wish.
Place the the thin sliced turnips in a greased oven-safe pan. Melt 1/4 c butter in a pan on the stove, add the onion and cook til soft and translucent. Add the flour if you are using it. Add salt and pepper. Stirring it all as it starts to bubble, add your cream/half and half. Whisk or stir until it just comes to a simmer/boil. After 1 minute, turn down the heat to low and stir in the cheese, adding by small additions to melt. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat. Pour over the turnips in the dish. Bake at 375. After about 40-45 minutes, add extra cheese or your optional bread crumb topping. Bake another 20 minutes til it's golden brown and thickened. Let it set for 10 minutes to 'set up' and continue to thicken before serving.
Turnips are so pretty. Like snowballs.
I thin sliced mine in my food processor but you can do it with a hand grater (usually I do) or with a knife - although it is hard to get a nice uniform 'thin' that way.
I wish I had 2 more turnips. I didn't. So mine was 'extra' creamy.
I used some keto bread crumbs I keep in the freezer from some of my 'trial' keto bread recipes.
You might also be interested in these low carb and/or keto crumbs available online or many other items; through Amazon if you can't find them locally. | 2019-04-19T00:32:14 | http://www.housewifebarbie.com/2019/04/low-carb-option-for-potatoes-au-gratin.html |
Watching the ongoing refugee crisis in the Middle East and Europe, I cannot but recall the suffering of Middle Eastern people at another time of great upheaval: during the First World War and following its settlement.
First British Guard, Jaffa Gate, 1917. Credit: Library of Congress.
The history of the Great War helps us to understand how the violent past is responsible for the current turmoil in the Middle East. Historians have covered the destruction caused by the First World War in Europe extensively, but many in the West do not realize the level of destruction and upheaval it caused in the Middle East. The losses in the Middle East were staggering: the war not only ravaged the land and decimated armies, it destroyed whole societies and economies. In this way, the experience of World War I in the Middle East is perhaps more akin to the experience of World War II in Europe. The social, economic, and psychological effects were deep and devastating.
The title of my book, A Land of Aching Hearts: The Middle East in the Great War (Harvard University Press, 2014), which I spoke on recently at the Washington History Seminar, comes from a line in the journal of a Turkish feminist, Halidé Edib. In an episode about her travels by train through villages from Anatolia to Homs during the Great War, she remarked on a haunting sense of misery. In the villages, not a man was to be seen because so many had died or been conscripted. Locusts had devoured fields. Famine shadowed families and took many lives. She wrote, “I have seen, I have gone through, a land full of aching hearts and torturing remembrances” (1). As the memory of the war evolved decades later, people began to describe it as a great war of suffering—the safarbarlik, or mobilization—in which barefoot soldiers crossed cities, deserts, whole regions away from their homes, and millions of civilians faced starvation, disease, relocation, and levels of misery so profound and so lasting that their memory was passed on from one generation to the other.

The conclusion of the war introduced additional political upheaval to the region. In the West the war solidified already formed national identities. But in the East it shattered the imperial Ottoman system that, for all its faults, let a multiplicity of identities coexist for much of the time. The Sykes-Picot Agreement, drawn during the war in 1916, divided the region into spheres of influence between the British and the French: roughly, Palestine, Jordan, and Iraq were designated British while Lebanon and Syria were assigned to the French, should the Allies win the war. No representatives of these regions were privy to the agreement. It was negotiated in secret and contrary to the principles of self-determination that would become a centerpiece of Woodrow Wilson’s “14 Points” plan for world peace at the end of the war. The French Mandate that replaced the Ottomans in 1923 introduced a new foreign rule to the Lebanese and Syrian people, who once again had no say in their government. The region was thus entrapped in new structures of imperial governance, and the foundations were laid for enduring mutual suspicion.
When the Islamic State bulldozed the berm between Iraq and Syria in June 2014, it publicized the event as the destruction of the Sykes-Picot border. The reference is indicative of the level of lingering resentment towards the West’s unilateral redrawing of borders 100 years ago. Why are old agreements from a century ago at the center of heated debates in the Middle East? The answer is that the suffering the region endured during the Great War lives on in the memory of its people, and decisions made then continue to affect relations among Middle Eastern peoples to this day.
The current refugee crisis is an opportunity to reflect back 100 years ago to the mistakes made following the Great War that caused—and continue to trigger—so much suffering and conflict. This is why the study of history is invaluable to understanding the present. Like memory, history’s influence is not fleeting but longstanding. We must account for it as we move forward.

GARY CAHILL has not yet won a Premier League title, unlike some other members of the Chelsea squad.
But right now the England defender can scent one on the horizon –and he wants it.
Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea squad still has a core of players who know what it takes to win a title, men like John Terry, Frank Lampard, Petr Cech, Ashley Cole, Michael Essien and John Obi Mikel.
They are players who have been the distance, know the pitfalls, know what it takes over the nine hard months of the English season.
Coupled with the fast emerging, exciting young talent that is slowly but surely this season turning Chelsea into genuine contenders, Cahill believes that his side now have what it takes.
Chelsea’s comprehensive 3-1 win over Manchester United on Sunday at Stamford Bridge not only virtually ended any hope David Moyes’ side had of being contenders. It also made their hopes of a top four place all that more demanding.
Perhaps, more importantly though, Chelsea’s clinical dominance of the game against their old rivals showed for perhaps the first time that Jose Mourinho’s side are beginning to be forged into a genuine force by the Portuguese, after an uncertain start to the campaign.
Cahill, 28, sees the hunger that still resides in players like Terry and Lampard for a fourth title in the Roman Abramovich era and he shares it.
He said: “It’s one of the biggest trophies you can win and I’m sure the lads who have won it before would say the same thing. They’re just as hungry as me to do it again.
The victory took Mourinho’s record of unbeaten home games in the league in his two spells in charge to 71 now.
Cahill said: “It is an incredible record and one day it will come to an end, but hopefully not too soon.
“We have confidence whenever we play at home, which we should have, and always manage to get results here.
“Hopefully that will continue for the rest of the season, but the main thing for us is consistency, to keep performing every week. The lads have got the drive to do that right now and things are going well.
“United are not having the season they would have hoped for, but nevertheless that was a huge fixture no matter how you look at it so we’re obviously very pleased.
“I don’t want to jinx the record – but we do turn up against the big teams. We’ve put in good performances against them and not dropped too many points. If we can stay consistent, which at the moment we are, we have a good feeling among the group and we’re going about our business quietly. Arsenal and Man City are not dropping points either, but this was a great win for us.
“We are going about our business quietly. Hopefully we keep moving forward. We’re starting to play better, we’re defending well. We’re around the top, just a few points behind.
Chelsea are unbeaten in seven games against the top teams this season, and their match at in-form Manchester City at the Etihad on Monday week has been touted by pundits as a possible early title decider.
But Cahill does not see it like that. He said: “I don’t think it’s a decider. There is a long way to go, we’re just over halfway through the season. There have been times where we’ve slipped up and they’ve slipped up away from home.
“We know how devastating they are at home, it’s going to be tough. We beat them here and it’s going to be even harder up there to get a result. It’s one to look forward too.
Mourinho, meanwhile, celebrated the win in painful fashion as he flew to Paris yesterday for surgery on an old elbow injury.
And Samuel Eto’o says he wants to end his career with Mallorca. | 2019-04-25T16:11:04 | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/455029/Chelsea-star-Gary-Cahill-aiming-to-taste-Premiership-success |
Giving back to the community in economic benefits through tourism, of course, is Destination Gettysburg's core mission. But the destination marketing organization of Adams County, Pa. is also a contributor to a variety of community causes and needs including events, community projects and supporting other key organizations throughout the county.
In 2017, Destination Gettysburg has donated nearly $50,000, including $20,000 to support Main Street Gettysburg, $15,000 to cover the cost of the Fourth of July fireworks, and $3,000 to help cover Adams County Arts Council's cost of the New Year's Eve Celebration in Lincoln Square.
Recently, several donations have been made to such organizations as Old Getty Place for the Halloween Parade, Lincoln Fellowship of Pennsylvania for the Dedication Day Ceremony, and the East Berlin VFW toward the restoration of a F-14 Tomcat aircraft (pictured above).
Destination Gettysburg also contributes $1,000 to the Gettysburg Garden Club for the watering of the flowers throughout the Borough of Gettysburg, and donates its services to the Gettysburg Brass Band Festival.
"Giving back to the community is important to Destination Gettysburg," said Norris Flowers, President. "These organizations are working hard to host events as well as provide an attractive community to welcome our visitors." | 2019-04-19T17:17:28 | https://www.gettysburgtourismworks.com/tourism-news/destination-gettysburg-gives-back |
I live in Dubbo, NSW.
I came to Australia with 489 dependent spouse visa.
I got divorce with main applicant in last January and my visa have been cancelled last Thursday - for the reason of divorce with main applicant.
I am now married, she is an Australian citizen. I have everything ready for lodging a partnership visa.
I would like to know shall I get permission to live and work if I lodge partnership application within given short time frame?
Or I will also have to seek for merits review to get permission for working and living?
As you're currently unlawful, you're only able to make a valid subclass 820 Partner visa application within 28 days of the day your previous visa was cancelled. You must show that the reason you're not holding a substantive visa is due to factors beyond your control, and that there are compelling reasons for granting the Partner visa. You must have complied substantially with the conditions on your previous visa.
'Factors beyond your control' is referred to in policy as circumstances that were 'external' to the applicant over which they had no control. For example: A serious accident or illness prevents the applicant from making a valid visa application.
'Compelling reasons for granting the visa' is referred to in policy as a situation brought about by moral necessity. For example: The applicant's partner became seriously injured or extremely ill and needed to be cared for by the applicant.
You need to consider whether the reason you no longer hold a substantive visa is due to factors beyond your control, based off the information you have provided it sounds like they're not. You also need to consider if there are compelling reasons for granting the visa. The other factor that will be taken into account is that your last visa was cancelled because you didn't comply with the conditions of that visa. For these reasons I strongly advise against apply for a subclass 820 Partner visa.
If you decide to apply for a subclass 820 Partner visa you will automatically be granted a Bridging visa E with no work rights, and no opportunity to travel overseas until the 820 visa is granted (this is likely to take 18 months). You can apply for another Bridging visa and have the work restriction removed if there is a 'compelling need to work'. This is defined in the regulations as a person who is in financial hardship, which is referred to in policy as a person whose reasonable living expenses exceeds their ability to pay for them. There is no guarantee that you will be given work rights on a Bridging visa E.
My recommendation is to leave Australia before you are removed, and apply offshore for a subclass 309/100 Partner visa. The current processing time is approximately 11 months. Once the subclass 309 visa is granted you can return to Australia and you'll have full work rights. Applying onshore for a subclass 820 visa is very risky given your circumstances and you won't be entitled to a refund of any of the fees that you pay. | 2019-04-22T02:49:20 | https://www.ask-an-agent.com.au/ques_of_week/view_detail_ques/NTQ= |
Researchers at the University of Glasgow have determined that active commuting decreases the risk and mortality from cardiovascular disease and cancer. The most effective mode of transportation to reap the benefits of injecting activity into daily life proved to be cycling.
Everyone is familiar with the myriad of reasons to make your commute to work an active one. The benefits are obvious- a daily exercise routine is recommended as a treatment for almost every common ailment, from mental health to immune system function. As active commuting has become a norm, especially in European countries, researchers have been able to draw real numbers from large data sets about its health benefits. Unsurprisingly, active commuting decreases the likelihood of the most common diseases (cardiovascular disease, cancer, and many more).
If you’re on the fence about making the switch to active commuting, you’ll want to learn more about the research done by a group at the University of Glasgow in the UK. They’ve examined which mode of transportation reaps the most benefits. The resounding winner is cycling.
A cohort study of over 2000 participants conducted over 5 years found that cycling was associated with decreased mortality and adverse effects of illnesses. Specifically, cycling decreased the risk of being diagnosed with cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as the likelihood of diseases-related fatalities. Walking had less poignant results, and was only associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. The worst mode of transportation for health was, of course, personal vehicle.
From a public health perspective, this type of research should be of great interest. Active commuting clearly reduces the two most common forms of mortality and burden on healthcare systems. This is especially important in North America, where poor diet and lack of physical activity (and corresponding cancer and cardiovascular disease) are highest in the developed world. Coincidentally, North America has one of the least pedestrian/cyclist friendly layouts in the world. Based on these findings, active-commuter-friendly policy should be top priority for public health and city planning. | 2019-04-26T16:29:58 | https://www.medicalnewsbulletin.com/cycling-determined-beneficial-mode-active-commuting/ |

Investing Basics – Fiduciary Financial Planning to Protect Assets from Financial Predators?
Asset protection – shielding your wealth from lawsuits and other predatory attacks – can be one of the most critical parts of a sound wealth management plan. This vital area seems to be a high priority for many investors, but surprisingly seems to be overlooked in many financial plans. Lawsuits, liability, and other predatory attacks are a part of modern life for those that have accumulated some wealth. But for lack of training or other reasons, many financial planners and advisors don’t seem to focus on protecting against the many dangerous risks that insurance may not cover. But without this valuable planning, circumstances beyond your control could wipe out a lifetime’s worth of wealth, with devastating impact on you and your family. Consider – if your investment and bank accounts were taken from you, how would that change your retirement income, health care options, and your wishes for your family’s inheritance?
If you have substantial investment accounts, you may be at more risk than you realize. Many investors aren’t even aware of the simplest, most inexpensive techniques to protect their wealth. Common mistakes – like the wrong type of joint account – can needlessly create huge risks and potential losses that could be completely avoided if you had the right expertise from your advisor, broker or bank. While we try to check this as a matter of course for Camarda accounts, accounts you have elsewhere may be needlessly exposed. For instance, many couples should title their accounts as tenants by the entirety instead of joint tenants with right of survivorship if their state permits this, as Florida does. Even in states that have this, some advisors may shun asset protection planning in order to protect themselves from liability, even though it can dangerously increase your liability! Never before has technology made it so easy for predators and their attorneys to profile your wealth, target your assets, and design strategies to take what is yours. We’ve seen offshore firms set up shop that are able to very quickly and accurately model investors’ wealth and provide a report to anyone that will pay for it. Such tools can build clear treasure maps for those who would take your wealth. Probate filings, which are public record, can offer another spotlight on your wealth, one criminals and other predators can use. Living trusts are private and can easily protect against this, plus save you thousands or more in probate fees and avoid many guardianship risks, but most trusts by themselves are not very effective asset protection tools. Of course, liability insurance and umbrella policies are a must for most investors. IRAs offer strong protection in many states, but only so long as the money stays in the IRA – once you make a withdrawal, the cash can become fair game. Annuities and life insurance can offer protection too, but can be very expensive and have nasty tax surprises. Some states have very strong LLC laws that can be used as fortified family holding companies, but it can take some skill to set them up so they are likely to work if a threat appears. Camarda believes that LLC structures can offer strong asset protection when done right, which sadly is frequently not the case. | 2019-04-21T08:14:04 | https://myimpact-academy.com/course/investing-basics/ |
Anyone else feeling the same way? Like your stuck in a cycle that you need to get out of?
To celebrate, and keeping with my health goals, I decided to have a few friends over and indulge in some low calorie drinks (thank Cascade Ice for sending over some samples) and not so low calorie bundt mini cakes from Nothing Bundt Cakes (courtesy of my mother-in-law).
Yes, they were just as delicious as they look.
Keeping the setting intimate allowed for my friends and I to talk about the past, present, and future. Needless to say they are a great group of girls and I love them dearly. We were caught up deep in conversation we forgot to do the fun craft of wine glass painting I had planned. Next time, because with these girls there is always a next time.
Below are some pics of the yummy drinks I made using Cascade Ice Flavored Sparkling Water. By far the Peach Mango Rum Shaker was the favorite. Recipes below. You should definitely try switching up your mixer of choice for these zero calorie waters. You can always play with the amount of alcohol you need, want it weaker add less, want it stronger add more. And always drink responsibly.
Muddle some Kiwi and Strawberries in the bottom of glass, add ice, and pour in drink. I topped off our pitcher with some colorful fruit.
Garnish your drink with some pineapple wedges and your all set!
You can find all of the Cascade Ice flavors here. | 2019-04-26T12:48:48 | http://www.olgadavis30.com/2016/02/birthday-celebration-drinks.html |

Naples has played an important and vibrant role over the centuries not just in the music of Italy, but in the general history of western European musical traditions. This influence extends from the early music conservatories in the 16th century through the music of Alessandro Scarlatti during the Baroque period and the comic operas of Pergolesi, Piccinni and, eventually, Rossini and Mozart. The vitality of Neapolitan popular music from the late 19th century has made such songs as 'O Sole mio and Funiculì Funiculà a permanent part of our musical consciousness.
Canzone Napoletana is what most people think of when they think of Neapolitan music. It consists of a large body of composed popular music—such songs as 'O sole mio, Torna a Surriento, Funiculì funiculà, etc. The Neapolitan song became a formal institution in the 1830s through the vehicle of an annual song writing competition for the yearly Festival of Piedigrotta, dedicated to the Madonna of Piedigrotta, a well-known church in the Mergellina area of Naples. The winner of the first festival was a song entitled Te voglio bene assaie; it was composed by the prominent opera composer, Gaetano Donizetti. The festival ran regularly until 1950 when it was abandoned. A subsequent Festival of Neapolitan Song on Italian state radio enjoyed some success in the 1950s but was eventually abandoned as well. The period since 1950 has produced such songs as Malafemmena by Totò, Indifferentemente by Mario Trevi and Carmela by Sergio Bruni. Although separated by some decades from the earlier classics of this genre, they have now become "classics" in their own right.
Because his Italian origin and his love for music, the actor John Turturro, in 2010 directed a wonderful musical/documentary about the Neapolitan music. The film is an investigation into the heart of the traditional Neapolitan music, from classical and opera, to folk and ethnic music, created in Naples. | 2019-04-26T16:50:38 | https://www.mandalatour.com/en/news-mandala-tour/item/371-neapolitan-music-by-john-turturro |
Marleigh and Huck don’t share a birthday, but this year we decided to combine their birthday parties due to their special days being just a few weeks apart on the calendar. I struggled a bit with the party theme because of this – wanting to choose something that wasn’t too girly, too boyish, or too boring. We finally settled on a breakfast theme and decided to turn it into a full-on pajama party!
The amazing cakes were made by Sinfully Sweet by Dana, who knocks the kids’ cakes out of the park every single time. I kept the decorations pretty simple with sprinkle tablecloths and donut napkins from Hobby Lobby, a DIY tassel garland, and a donut garland that I made by cutting up a gift bag.
For the food, I went the easy route by ordering a breakfast pizza and bagel platter and setting up a parfait station with yogurt, berries, and granola. I also set up a coffee bar with tons of K-cup options and creamers. And obviously it wouldn’t be a breakfast party without donuts! We picked up 80 Tim Bits from Tim Horton’s (the kids’ favorites) and put each one on cake pop sticks for easy eating – with the aim to prevent sticky fingers as much as possible!
Join me as I chronicle life as we know it: at home, on the road, and everywhere in-between – living out our grand adventures the best way we know how: with our family in tow. | 2019-04-20T00:43:29 | http://www.kinandkindling.com/2017/10/rise-and-shine-its-party-time/ |
President Trump's choice to head the Justice Department, William Barr, begins his nomination hearings today before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Barr has pledged not to hamper or end the Mueller investigation, and he spent last week paying calls on Committee members. He was previously Attorney General under President George H. W. Bush. Brian and John speak with criminal defense attorney Brad Schlesinger.
The New York Times reported today that a year ago President Trump suggested to aides that the United States should withdraw from NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. He made the statement several more times throughout 2018, calling it a financial drain on the US. A US withdrawal would likely signal the end of the alliance. Dr. Peter Kuznik, a professor of history and director of the Nuclear Studies Institute at American University and co-author with Oliver Stone of the book and the hit Showtime television series "The Untold History of the United States," joins the show.
The Los Angeles Teachers Strike entered its second day today with no immediate end in sight. Why won't the LA Unified School District reduce class sizes, hire more nurses, counselors, and librarians, and give teachers a raise when the district is sitting on a $1.86 billion surplus? Today, huge pickets are continuing and charter school teachers are joining the strike.

Representative Steve King, a Republican of Iowa, will be stripped of his committee assignments because of racist comments he made last week. But King has been making similar comments for years and the Republican leadership never said a word. Senator Chuck Grassley even endorsed him for reelection just last year. Why are the Republicans acting now? And does this mean the end of King's career?

The newest thing about Samsung is neither another foldable smartphone nor the brand new Galaxy S10 family, nor does it have anything to do with the 5G. The last product of the Korean company is nothing more and nothing less than a fire extinguishing vase. No, it's not a joke. The Firevase is a vase that extinguishes fires. Yeah, you read that correctly.
Cheil Worlwide, a subsidiary of Samsung, is in charge of producing these ornaments that can save your life. All you have to do is throw the vase with force towards the flaming area and the fire is extinguished instantly. It's as easy as child's play, as throwing a ball. That's right, the vase will break. And that's when the magic happens.
When broken, the potassium-carbonate filled outer chamber cools and suppresses oxygen quickly, so you don't have to worry about the fire spreading further around the house. But until you find yourself in a situation where you need to use it, the vase has a capacity for water if you want to put flowers and make it look prettier.
This curious object was manufactured as part of an advertising campaign in South Korea to prevent fires in homes (it is mandatory to have a fire extinguisher at home there), but the success of the Firevase has led Samsung's subsidiary to produce 200,000 more units. During the time the campaign lasted, the number of households in the Asian country with a fire extinguisher increased by 8%.
Can it be self activated, without a need to throw it? | 2019-04-20T18:41:59 | https://www.androidpit.com/samsung-extinguishing-vase |
An employment agreement is a legal document which defines the relationship between employer and employee when the latter first joins the company. This is usually a very detailed document, which seeks to ensure that the roles and obligations of both the employer and the employee are clearly defined. Most companies create one type of employment agreement, and then use this as a template for all employees within a specific cadre.
Some of the employee roles included in an employment agreement include their job description. This defines the tasks that they are supposed to do, the oversight that they will be subjected to, their salary and allowances as well as actions that they are not allowed to perform with the penalties they will incur if they do so.
Before signing the document, an employee needs to thoroughly go through the document so as to ensure that they don’t end up in a job where the terms and conditions are not in their favor. It is usually possible in most cases to negotiate with the employer about some of the clauses in the employment agreement before signing.
The employer’s obligations are usually also stipulated in the employment agreement. A few of these include the timing of their salaries (if the employees will be paid monthly) and the work conditions that the employer will offer. Drafting such a document is important since it not only has to be clear about the obligations of both the employer and employee, but should also conform to the country’s and state’s labor laws. | 2019-04-19T20:57:39 | http://ishimbayev.com/employment-agreement/ |
sorry for my crappy camera.
It's all papercraft. Hope you like it!
Amazing . . . simply amazing . . .
And, yes, his online name is The Celestial Warrior, TCW for short. He's a great guy, both online, and in person.
OMG. So, you download and print it out from somewhere and color it yourself???
Looks incredible! I would love it if you posted the links to the downloads.
As Dvader said, you got the name right. And Welcome to the boards!
These are ready to print and go. I recomend thick cardboard paper (over 110 grs), since regular 80 grs paper will be too flimsy and the ink colors will be watered down.
Also, the models are supposed to be glued to the base, but I have mine all free to make as many scenarios as I want to.
However, these are thought to be small, desktop versions. I had to modify mine, altering the PDF files with corel to be able to print them on a much larger scale (specially the sandcrawler, which in the end had several pieces cut down into several parts to fit A3 size), and correcting some defects that were not noticeable when small, but pretty obvious when large, mostly the Falcon, wich has the turret windows from the YT-1300, and many homemade pieces, like double panelling for the rear exaust (it was plain white before, which was pretty ugly), a grid instead of the black square nothingness of the reactor, the entrance ramp and the 5 landing gears, among other things.
Also, if going for the big sized Falcon, I recommend using thick paper as well, since the bigger (and fluffier) it gets, the harder it gets to fit the escape pod pannels from the sides (. I learnt this the hard way, since the falcon in the pictures is my second attemp to do a big one).
I would post those, instead, but I can't find them anywhere on my hard drive, and, besides, all of the custom made parts were unlabeled, as I was the one "inventing" them, but someone else might have a hard time figuring 'em out. Sorry.
Anyway, good luck mounting these and happy gaming!
those diorama packs no longer seem to download? I have spotted this before or maybe I am doing something wrong?
In swminiatures you have to register or login to be able to download the files, but I tried it today with no problem.
I was able to download everything, but the Death Star 3D link you provided and the Trash Compactor. When I download these all I get is a zip file sized 1KB with nothing in it. Have these been removed at the site level?
True, that's a pity, and reminds me that I mounted my walls some time ago now. I should have a copy of it somewhere. Should I find it I'll post it here.
Edit: I wasn't able to find the files at all. I posted an email to the webmaster, but since the site has been untouched for so long, I wouldn't put all of my hopes on that. It would be a pity that these were lost forever. | 2019-04-25T20:03:16 | http://swmgamers.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=8943&p=99701 |

When you think of the Tour de France history you think of the time before WWII and after. Those are 2 distinct eras of the fabled race.
The History of Tour de France begins in 1903 as a way to increase readership of a fledgling sports paper l’Auto, and to gain additional readership over its competitor Le Velo. Le Velo had a much larger readership and covered all the bike races at the time, so the editors at L’Auto decided to create their own race to get exclusive coverage. Covering the biggest multi-day bike race in the world gave L’ Auto the readership it needed. It eventually outpaced Le Velo which folded in 1904.
Maurice Garin, was the first of the Tour de France winners going from Chimney Sweep to Tour de France Champion.
The winner would win 6 times the yearly salary of a worker, so it made it worthwhile for many to endure the challenge.
Individual times to finish each stage are aggregated to determine the overall winner at the end of the race. The rider with the lowest aggregate time at the end of each day wears a yellow jersey.
In the Tour de France history early years, points were given for placement in each stage, and those with the most points at the end of the race would be declared the winner.
The tradition to have the leader of the race wear the Maillot Jaune (the yellow jersey) was initially started in 1919. It is thought that the color was chosen because of the color of the paper l’Auto was printed on. L’Auto eventually because L’Equipe after WWII. Looking at the Tour de France history we can see that the early Tour de France were a bit of a wild affair. Since they mostly rode overnight, it was difficult to follow what each rider was doing, and cheating was rampant. Riders hopped into cars and onto trains, and riders were beaten up by rival fans. Today’s accusations of blood doping seem relatively tame in comparison.
The Tour de France began in 1903, and has been held every year except during the 2 world wars. It was unlike the modern Tour which spans 3 weeks, 21 stages, with 2 rest days, with the longest day in the saddle is not more than 7 hours. The 1903 Tour de France route had 6 stages that were spread across 19 days, with 1 to 3 rest days between stages, and grueling stages lasting as long as 18 Hours and 9 Minutes.
The stages would often be covered overnight and the riders would be asked to check their brakes and to not make too much noise and they rode through villages at night!
The Tour de France route included the epic mountain passes and created problems for the early riders due to the condition of the roads, and the existing bicycle technology. Multiple gears wear not allowed.
In 1904 twelve riders, including the first of the Tour de France winners Maurice Garin and all the stage winners were disqualified for various reasons including illegal use of cars and trains.
In the early days up to 1923 a rider had to fix mend their bicycles without help and that they use the same bicycle from start to end.
In 1925 the threat of a strike ended the race organizer’s plan that riders should all eat exactly the same amount of food each day to level the playing field. | 2019-04-20T08:15:59 | https://www.french-culture-adventures.com/tour-de-france-history.html |

November 29 we will have an interesting hands-on presentation about TFT or Thought Filed Therapy by Dr. Caroline Sakai. We hope you can join us for this special presentation.
Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is the original energy tapping methodology developed by clinical psychologist Roger Callahan. It is a self-treatment that utilizes the acupoints used in acupuncture and acupressure. TFT has been used effectively with posttraumatic stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, chronic pain, phobias and many other conditions and symptoms. It can be done by tapping or massaging the acupoints, and can be also be done by mentally focusing on the points once the treatment protocols are mastered. It is beneficial for practitioners who do the treatment on themselves while the client does the treatment on themselves, and both experience the benefits. Caretakers can do the treatments as bilateral massage of the acupoints on the patient. TFT protocols can be adapted for very young children, people with cognitive or other serious challenges, as well as infants and animals.
While there are various levels of treatment, the basics can be learned readily and Caroline will demonstrate and teach examples focused on our ‘Ohana working in palliative care settings.

Body image considers ideas on size and shape, skin colour, physical features, clothing and adornments and shaped by factors and influences.
Having a positive body image helps children and young people feel good about themselves and supports their mental health and wellbeing for life.
People with a positive body image are comfortable with their appearance and are more likely to think about their body in terms of its functionality rather than its form. In other words, they focus mostly on the way their body helps them do the things they want to do – playing sport, climbing trees or walking the dog – rather than how their body looks.
Children and young people with positive body image might not be completely satisfied with their appearance, but they concentrate on assets rather than flaws. This way of thinking contributes to a positive sense of self-worth. It helps them understand and fulfil the body’s needs, which means they might be more likely to appreciate the value of exercise and make healthy food choices that enable the body to perform well.
Unfortunately, it’s common for both boys and girls to have negative thoughts or feelings about their appearance or be dissatisfied with the way their bodies look. When children and young people have issues with self-worth and body image, they’re more vulnerable to developing unhealthy attitudes to eating and issues with dieting as well as low mood. Evidence suggests low self-worth and body dissatisfaction might play a role in mental health conditions like depression and eating disorders during adolescence and beyond.
Body image has traditionally been seen as the domain of secondary schools, but there are many reasons why primary schools – and even early learning services – should also promote a positive body image.
Research suggests girls as young as five who are exposed to music videos or women’s magazines are more likely to be aware of diet practices and cultural pressures to be thin. Concerns about personal appearance seem to emerge around the age of six or seven.
Peer relationships can have a strong influence on how children and young people feel about their body. The way their primary school classmates feel about their bodies can inform other girls’ own body image.
Research suggests that programs targeting younger children to build a healthy sense of self-worth and reduce body image concerns might be more effective because beliefs become more entrenched in adolescence.
If body dissatisfaction results in dieting or other eating issues, it might cause significant harm to a child’s growth and development during a critical period.
Body image is about how we see ourselves, but also how we think others perceive us.
Children and young people like to fit in. Standing out for being different, particularly based upon appearance, can be incredibly stressful and anxiety-provoking. Seeking acceptance from friends and peers is very important and linked to their feelings of acceptance and self-esteem.
They can normalise the wrong ideas and behaviours, such as how to look and feel, how to dress and what to eat, how to exercise and be popular, ‘fat talk’ and even ‘diet talk’. Peer pressure is generally a normal part of growing up, as peers are a significant sounding board for one another. But, until critical decision-making skills are developed, some children and young people may not be able to make confident choices in the face of peer pressure, when they feel their values are being compromised.
Children and adolescents are also exposed to a range of messages in the media. Sometimes unhealthy messages can seem like a desirable behaviour, especially when friends and peers are all discussing the same concepts and coping strategies seen on the latest episode of their favourite television show. The good news is that educators can have a positive influence on peer relationships. Children and young people learn from those around them, so having strong role models, reliable educators and supportive influences in their lives ensures they have positive experiences.
Check out content on the benefits of children and young people maintaining positive and respectful relationships with peers in the Connect module.
What can schools do to promote positive body image?
Schools are great places to model healthy self-acceptance and appreciation of diversity.
They also offer opportunities to teach simple, but effective, health messages such as enjoying exercise because it’s fun and eating a variety of foods in moderation.
Some strategies involve a policy response, while others need action at the individual level. They can be integrated into the work you’re already doing to enhance students’ mental and physical health.
Establish effective policy and practices which aim to prevent appearance-related teasing and bullying, and support those who are teased or bullied as a result of their appearance, body size or shape, or ethnicity.
Promote a healthy school culture by modelling and promoting positive body image, an enjoyment of sport and activity, and an acceptance of everyone’s strengths and skills.
Help students develop a strong sense of self as well as the skills to buffer unhelpful messages about body image.
Teach social and emotional skills in the classroom, including acceptance and self-awareness, especially of the physical self.
Display posters and other materials that reflect the diversity of students in terms of body shape, size and ethnicity. This ensures your school is welcoming to students and families, regardless of appearance.
Provide education about fitness and nutrition that has a positive focus on energy, fun, social connection and health, rather than a negative focus on weight and dietary control.
Ensure food served in schools is nutritious and balanced.
Provide information for families about how they can support their children and young people develop a positive body image and a strong sense of self.
Run family information sessions to provide effective strategies to use with their children and young people, and to highlight the many myths, traps and stereotypes.
Cultivate a welcoming environment for families, so that they feel comfortable and confident discussing the issue, reiterating the messages at home and asking for assistance if needed.
Ensure educators are familiar with services available in the community and where to go for the best and latest advice.
Create student awareness campaigns to encourage conversation at home. Incorporate the messages of acceptance and diversity in homework activities and projects completed at home.

On my way home from City Hall this morning to pick up a large ornament that I will be decorating for the Christmas tree (you have to know it's going to be ZIP-related!), I took another one of my circuitous routes home, this time exploring more of 53212 and 53206.
In 53212, I found a positively graffitied, gated entrance to a church, an impossibly pink house, and a sunlit, orange autumn alley that pulled me in.
But it was my coffee and the succulent chicken and waffles at Coffee Makes You Black on Teutonia Avenue that really blew my mind. One of the fathers that I had met the other day at Nash Park insisted that I try them out, so when I realized that I had hit Teutonia again, I quickly mapped my path to what would be a pleasant early lunch, impromptu networking event, and positive, enlightening experience.
I learned that Coffee Makes You Black has been operating in this two-story bank building for fifteen years. For fifteen years prior, it had been abandoned--busted water pipes, broken, boarded-up windows, you name it--and it took a year and a half for owners Bradley and Laurie Thurman to renovate. Through it all, it was as difficult as you can imagine for them to get the necessary bank loans to finish and then keep afloat once they opened. Today, it's a brightly lit, spacious affair, with tall bank windows, a wrap-around balcony that houses big conference rooms and offices, and walls filled with Black art and photos of musicians and other greats. And the place was hopping! Young and old, families, couples, business people on laptops and cell phones--mostly African American, with a few non-African Americans sprinkled in at the tables.
While I waited for my lunch, I read some short biographies of Black writers that I had borrowed from the small shelves of books available to customers. It brought me back to my teaching days: August Wilson, Lucille Clifton, James Baldwin, Spike Lee, Toni Morrison. I learned some new things about each one and now plan to finally read Baldwin's Go Tell It On the Mountain. The chicken and waffles didn't come fast--which was fine, because I was enjoying the sunlight, the book, and the general buzz around me--so I talked to one of the owners, Bradley, about ZIP MKE. He sat down with me at my table and we talked about our project. I was saddened that when I mentioned how we'd be including photos from 53206, too, he said, dismayed, "Probably negative ones, huh?" To which I exclaimed, "No way! That's exactly the opposite of what we're doing." This seemed to please him. I offered to stop by again with a stack of postcards (new Promotional Partner!) and he offered the space to house part of our exhibit after the January kick-off. I'll be talking to him, too, about possibly being our coffee purveyor at the library event.
After mopping my plate, I turned around to see a sharply dressed woman at her laptop, with a large depiction of a mask on the wall behind her. My eyes immediately noting the overlap of colors in her outfit and the painting, I introduced myself and ZIP and we got a nice photo. Then it was her turn to introduce herself. She is Dana World-Patterson of Foundations For Freedom, an organization devoted to eradicating human trafficking and empowering girls and women. She offered to have ZIP MKE display part of our collection at F4F's big January event at Radio Milwaukee, which, I think, is a few days before our January exhibit at the Library. Another new Promotional Partner?
After that delightful conversation, I then introduced myself to the other owner, Laurie, who immediately told me about her son, who is currently photographing beautiful images of 53206, often, for instance, of he and his girlfriend in abandoned buildings. "He'll say," Laurie tells me, "Look: A rose grew from the rubble." I told her about the concrete playground at the Rufus King International School-Middle School campus on East Hadley, which had a tall tree growing up from a crack in the concrete (I had taken a photo of it there earlier this fall). I can't wait to get in contact with Laurie's son; I have a feeling we'll have a new photographer for ZIP!
Finally, Laurie introduced me to a table of four that had been there since before I showed up. Anthony Courtney, Vaun Mayes, Gab Taylor, and Mike X listened to the ZIP story and perked up when I talked about how we were looking for positive depictions of each zip code, including 53206. It turns out that Vaun and Gab are founders of Program The Parks, a Sherman Park youth initiative that I've been following on Facebook since August (but that I haven't been able to be involved with yet). We're going to talk about a PTP-ZIP partnership to help get the word out in the Sherman Park neighborhood, especially among young people, and I have yet to share with them the REMIX MKE youth writing experience and community building program that we hope to launch in January (with a working slogan of "Start the New Year Off Write!"). Vaun blamed media outlets for failing to cover the important grassroots and official work being done in Sherman Park to improve the community and the quality of life, and was hopeful that ZIP MKE could have a positive effect in helping people see the city in a new light. Mike X was kind and jovial and a little mysterious, revealing only that he loves making films (I might have to seek him out for future projects!).
Anthony, the elder of the group, was an open book. He listened wholeheartedly to everything I was saying, sitting next to me with arms crossed, nodding his head thoughtfully, speaking with the controlled voice of experience. He spoke about the role of power and greed that is responsible for the mass incarceration of Black people, about how Donald Trump has stirred the waters of racism, about he hasn't failed to vote in a local or national election for the last forty years and about how he is constantly trying to instill in young Black people the importance of voting. We talked about getting off our butts and about being the change we wanted to see in the world. A small table of literature and pamphlets and cards for prisoners sat next to him, part of the work he and others are doing to observe their world and change it with words and images. "You have to counter a negative image with a positive one," Anthony insisted.
In a surprising and humbling moment before I took my leave, Anthony and I shook hands but he held on fast, looked up to me from where he was sitting, and told me that he was going to tell me who I was. I almost felt his oracular power flowing through our hands and up my arm (or maybe it was me draining into him as he tried to divine who I was based on our conversation). I won't tell you what he said, but it was spot on and, like I said, humbling. And gracious.
As was my whole experience at Coffee Makes You Black in 53206. They have a loyal customer now. Next time I have to meet someone for coffee, you know where I'm going to suggest we go. | 2019-04-24T06:28:47 | http://zipmke.com/blog/jr2jfgkbehb6c7hlrcmy3fjpgtnyf8 |

This strip illustrates and interesting side of the alligator’s personality. He is an alligator and therefore he is feared. He’s a bit slow, soft hearted, goofy, etc. But since he is feared, others are always nice to him even when he’s being a jerk.
@War Pig, lol!See, there’s a second week of strips that could have come out of today’s strip. Vachel hurts his wing and the alligator carries him across on his back, and vachel STILL can’t help but be his usual insulting self.

“”I couldn’t help it,” said the scorpion. “It’s my nature…”"
It’s from Star Trek: Voyager, “Scorpion, Part One.” I don’t know the precise fable name, but it’s the one where a scorpion persuades a fox to let it ride on the fox’s back across a river, despite the obvious concern that the scorpion will sting the fox. And the scorpion does so, in the middle of the river, so obviously the fox will die and sink.
“”Why did you do that?” asked the fox. “Now you’ll die too.”"
“”I couldn’t help it,” said the scorpion. “It’s my nature.”"
@Ronald, i have often cited that as a basis for humor (and a lot of good writing), having characters stuck in their nature. | 2019-04-19T22:35:09 | http://www.littledee.net/?p=986 |

Bah humbug to anyone who can’t get their rocks off at the thought of an FA Cup semi-final, whoever the opponent.
I’ve been bouncing off the walls all week.
Competing at the business end for proper trophies, the nervous flutter of the pre-match stomach, the fear and the anticipation: that’s the essence of football, it’s what it’s all about. Big moments like these are what you remember when you end up looking back. Where were you when Ramsey scored? You won’t have to think too hard about that, it’ll be etched in your mind forever.
Read this fantastic article from the Times’ George Caulkin and you’ll see how lucky we as Arsenal fans are compared to others. I think we know it, deep down, though in the heat of things it’s easy to forget.
Think of all the times you were elated or despondent at a football match, and I suspect many of those will have been in the FA Cup. For all the scheduling lunacy, the Wembleyness of the semi-final and the loud blaring music over the tannoys at inopportune moments, the FA Cup is still something I can’t help but stay in love with.
Kenny Sansom flat hat, food and beer, mates, Wembley Way. It’s a routine I love.
Let’s just hope we don’t repeat the complacency of Monaco, or freeze like we did at this stage last year against Wigan. I have a string of photos taken during that game when we were a goal down and the clock was ticking, and the misery and anxiety on people’s faces was amazing. So please Arsenal: don’t do it to us again.
Forget the stats though: this is Reading’s one shot at glory, and we all know how transient glory is. They have nothing to lose so it’ll be an intriguing match. Of course we have the form and players that should see us through, but football doesn’t always work that way. | 2019-04-20T06:32:13 | https://eastlower.co.uk/tag/fa-cup/ |

With the Brexit deadline looming faster and faster, and a second referendum appearing to be out of the picture, the pressure to decide whether or not to buy a home before Brexit is increasing. The future is unknown for every single person and with the government not deciding on a deal yet – or even a no-deal – people are even more uncertain about buying a house. If you’re unsure of whether to take the plunge or risk the future, then keep reading on.
After the results of the Brexit referendum were called out, mortgage rates began to plummet. They continued to degrade further until the lowest they had been for years. Low mortgage rates seems great, especially for first-time buyers. However, low mortgage rates have led to an increase in house pricing and a competitive marketplace. So, in the end, you result in purchasing your home for a lot higher than you intended, or even past what your budget allows. Real estate agents will do anything they can to persuade you to buy the house now, rather than risk losing you as a customer. Therefore, they will say a lot of scare-mongering things like you should buy now while the mortgage rates are still low. This could make anyone panic and neglect to actually focus on if they can afford this house right now.
However, real estate agents aren’t exactly lying when they say low mortgage rates won’t stay low forever. If you look at the way that mortgage rates are trending now, you can notice that the numbers have slowly began to crawl their way back up again. With Brexit so close now, and with the possibility of a no-deal scenario rising with each passing day, no one can predict if mortgage rates will climb higher or drop back down again. So, if you’re more interested in low mortgage rates over the cost of your house, then buying before Brexit starts is the way to go.
If you want to focus on buying a house over the percentage of mortgage rates, though, especially since they’re prone to fluctuations, then buying after Brexit is the better option for you. If Britain decides on a no deal agreement – or perhaps maybe even a hard Brexit – then housing prices in the United Kingdom will most likely fall dramatically. Be warned, however, as although this seems great at first for those wanting to buy, it’s important to remember the other side of the market place – the sellers. Sellers won’t want to part with their house if it’s worth less than what they originally purchased it for. This will especially be the case if they bought it during the period of 2016, where prices rose dramatically due to the Brexit referendum’s Leave result. This will result with less houses available on the marketplace, which inevitably will make it difficult to get on the property ladder. The low prices will also attract loads of customers, which will make the demand greater than the supply, resulting in tons of competition. You may end up purchasing your house for a lot more than you originally thought and again might go past your budget. Only this time mortgage rates will most likely be higher too, meaning paying it back will be more difficult. It’s also worth noting that if your job is threatened by Brexit, then this may be the worse time for you to buy a house. However, if your career is most likely to be Brexit-proof, and you can afford to spend a little more over your budget, then buying post-Brexit is definitely worth taking a chance on.
If you meet all the criteria above, then the only issue left with buying post-Brexit is if you plan to resell straight away, rather than live in your house for a few years. You most likely won’t make as high a profit as you had hoped. However, due to the demand still being less than supply, you may be able to negotiate a higher price if your bargaining skills are up to scratch. Make sure the house is in good, working order too, so that you can really afford to raise the cost.
In the end, the property market is resilient and will bounce back from whatever Brexit may bring. Housing recovered from the property market crisis in 2008 and will continue to do so. There will always be something warning about property market doom and gloom. So ultimately, if you’re really unsure what to do, then go for it when you can afford it. Purchasing a house is a big step for most people in life and the future really is uncertain. Therefore, if you have your eyes set on a house, see if you can afford it and enjoy your new home.

Valentine’s Day – a Single Mum’s Nightmare?
Whether you feel it’s a commercially-motivated, overrated event or a time to express true love, it’s hard to ignore Valentine’s Day. This is especially true when you’re single! So how can you celebrate the day and get something valuable out of it, rather than sitting home alone this evening and bemoaning your date-less existence?
I have two suggestions for your consideration. The first is to sit down with a pen and paper and write out a detailed and comprehensive Perfect Partner list. Now, to begin with this may seem like rubbing salt into the wound but just bear with me… By committing all the desirable attitudes of your perfect partner to paper you are attracting to you that which you yearn for. It may not happen overnight, but when he shows up at least you’ll be able to recognise him from your list! Make sure you are focusing on what you want, however, not what you don’t want – or it may have quite the reverse effect! Then, being brutally honest with yourself, write down the kind of person you need to be to be in order to attract somebody like this into your life. This is to remind you that a great relationship relies on two people showing up and putting in equal effort, attitude and commitment.
My second suggestion is to make a date with yourself, to really show yourself the love and appreciation you deserve. You don’t need to wait for someone else to cherish you – why not get started straight away?Join me live online this coming Wednesday at 8 pm GMT when I interview Sophrology Teacher Florence Parot. We’ll be exploring how to sleep better, boost our energy and alleviate stress. She’ll actually guide us through some easy exercises, too. So make a date and treat yourself – your kids will thank you for it!
Your next free webinar, with special guest Florence Parot – Burnout, Stress and Sleep expert, Sophrology Teacher.

One of the last people to comment on a previous blog was a single mum who talked about how physically and mentally draining it is, being a single mum. There’s a chapter in my book with lots of advice on coping with this.
You owe it to yourself and your children to stay fit and healthy. As you have no doubt discovered by now, looking after kids can be exhausting! Increasing your level of fitness will give you the renewed vitality and energy to keep up with all the daily challenges of parenting. It is worth bearing in mind that choosing to make just small changes in your daily life can dramatically improve your wellbeing. .. Six or seven hours [sleep] a night can help keep your blood sugar balanced. Eating a healthy diet is also essential both to maintain your ideal weight but also to boost energy levels. We all know about the downside of the sugar rush-the sugar low you get afterwards. Eating too many high carbohydrate-rich or processed foods, or consuming too many sugary drinks or foods can leave you feeling sleepy, sluggish and downhearted. Most of us single Mums have succumbed to comfort eating at some point and the occasional treat is perfectly fine but take it from me, it makes you feel so much worse in the long run and you can get onto a slippery slope which is hard to get off. Before you take a bite, ask yourself first: am I actually thirsty, instead of hungry? How will this feel as it slides into my stomach – not just now but for the rest of the day? Will eating it make both my body and mind feel good in the long run? If the answer is no, consider working out which emotion is eating you, step away from the food and spend a little time paying attention to nourishing your soul and spirit instead. For more advice on my eating strategies of naturally slim people, visit my website. Exercise releases endorphins, those wonderful feel-good chemicals, and who doesn’t enjoy some feel good factor floating around their bloodstream? It may be an effort at first if you haven’t got the fitness bug already but hang on in there. You’ll find that it’s an upward spiral – the more you move, the more energy you have and the more enthusiasm to exercise and so on…The key is to fit exercise into your daily routine. If you do this, you are much more likely to stick to those good habits. After a while you will grow to enjoy both the experience and the results so much that if you have a day without exercise you’ll really miss it. Every bit of time and effort counts and you don’t have to carve out an hour or more for a gym workout if that proves too much of a challenge.
This will all help you with energy levels. The mental fatigue may be due to the emotional stress of relationship breakdown, separation or divorce and coping as a single parent. Everyone who buys a copy of my book is entitled to a FREE coaching session with either me or one of my colleagues, so I do encourage you to make use of this free resource. “THE SINGLE MUM’s SURVIVAL GUIDE- How to Pick Up the Pieces and Build a Happy New Life” is available on Amazon as an eBook and will be released as a paperback on 1st July. | 2019-04-18T20:25:05 | https://singlemumssurvivalguide.wordpress.com/tag/sleep/ |

Matt Neal converted a second pole position of the day into a second win of the day at Rockingham.
Although starting from pole it looked early on as though it would be another tough race for the Honda driver, as he found himself pushed back into second before the first corner, just like in the second race of the day.
Off the line Neal found himself under pressure from two sides, Paul O'Neill moving to the outside of him from his own second starting slot and Tom Onslow-Cole jumping to the inside to assume the lead before turn one. While the Team Aon driver held the lead through his first real test at Deene, Neal was able to retake the lead further on in the opening lap, as mild chaos unfolded behind them.
John George, Paul O'Neill's Sunshine.co.uk, teammate conspired with David Pinkney and Alex McDowall, sliding off the track at Chapman Curve. A few corners further on, on the exit of Pif Paf it was Tom Chilton and Airwaves BMW driver Mat Jackson running wide, Chilton abandoning his Ford Focus on the outside of the track, while everyone else save for John George, retired back to the pits, their days finished 15 laps earlier than the rest of the field.
With the first lap completed, the race seemed to settle down in a rhythm, Neal, again was able to ease clear of the battles behind him, Onslow-Cole increasingly having to fend off the attention of Paul O'Neill and Andrew Jordan, once more running well, ahead of the surviving Airwaves car in the hands of Steven Kane who was again benefitting from his rear-wheel drive against the front-wheel-drive entries.
For a time it looked like Jordan would be able to do what few had done earlier and keep a BMW at bay. While Kane was faster through the corners – often pushing the Pirtek Vectra through the final Brook Chicane it was Jordan who was able to pull away through the oval sections, giving himself a cushion when it came to braking for the Deene hairpin.
Paul O'Neill was having more luck in his quest to take second, making his move into the Tarzan hairpin to produce an overlap, his and Onslow-Cole racing side by side down the School Straight before O'Neill made a brave attempt to glide around the outside of the Focus on the banked section. O'Neill fell back behind through the flat-out turn one, only to remount his challenge through Yentwood and Chapman Curve, moving into second.
The reversed grid had handed Jason Plato and Rob Collard a ninth and eighth place grid slot respectively. Plato was able to move up to sixth in the opening laps, but Collard was finding it a tougher task to move forward, falling back before ever making progress, past James Nash (who finished eighth, paying off some of the faith Triple 8 showed in him) and Andy Neate before gaining in the Jordan-Kane battle, which Plato had begun to play a part in, forever there to punish an over zealous attempt by Kane.
Kane, however, was still taking risks, as shown by a huge lock-up braking for Brook as he tried, implausibly to go side-by-side with Jordan through a section of track there really is only one line through. He was eventually able to move ahead on the penultimate lap on the run round the back of the track between Pif Paf and Gracelands, slipping inside of Jordan's Vectra sending it back for the consideration of Plato, and increasingly Collard.
On the closing lap the three were nose to tail, all but pushing one another at points. Jordan dropped a wheel onto the dirt existing Gracelands, his car stepping momentarily wide, only for Collard to do the same behind as the three threatened a thrilling finish, but only followed each other across the line, less than a second apart.
Neal took the win, his eventual margin over five seconds, with barely ten seconds covering the rest of the top ten, rounded out by Tom Boardman, recovering from his DNF in the second race. O'Neill took an ever-popular second in front of his fan club in the Rockingham stands and Kane took third after Tom Onslow-Cole ran wide at Deene on the last lap, dropping to seventh. | 2019-04-24T20:54:11 | https://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/2010/04/matt-neal-coverts-pole-to-win-two-at-rockingham/ |

A few months ago USNews - the foremost College Ranking Authority in the US - released its 2019 national college rankings placing the University of Chicago in the coveted spot of third (alongside Ivies Columbia and Yale, and MIT) and Duke in 8th (alongside another Ivy, the University of Pennsylvania).
Needless to say, UChicago and Duke attract tens of thousands of applications each year (32,000 and 37,000 respectively in 2017-18) - their most recent acceptance rates dropping to all-time lows at approximately 7.5%. This means the competition is tight and the calibre of applications high...but also that the excitement at being accepted all the more rewarding, given the great opportunities that lie ahead for those who are chosen to be part of - in recent Crimson admits Max and Allie’s case - the UChicago and Duke Classes of 2023!
As new admits to two of the best universities in the world, Max and Allie have shared the following words of advice as to how you can earn an acceptance to world class universities like these.
Max was admitted to UChicago, class of 2023.
Q: When did you first consider studying in the USA?
Max: I think the idea of studying overseas appealed to me quite early - probably in year 7 or 8. Initially I thought I wanted to go to the UK but then I suppose I got busy at school and really didn’t follow up on it until year 11 and 12 after which I knew that I’d better get started. That’s when my family spoke with Crimson and things began to take shape. They told me a lot about the US liberal arts system and I liked the idea of not having to declare a major straight away. That’s how the US - or rather UChicago became my early application priority.
Allie: I think it was something that I've wanted to do for a long time. When I was 8, I went to school in Minnesota and I was exposed to the US school system as well as the college system. I think because I had a taste of it then, I knew going to college in the US would provide me with really great opportunities. When I got into my later high school years, my family and I took a couple of trips to the US to check out lots of different colleges. I think we visited close to 20: George Washington, Georgetown, UNC, Dartmouth, Notre Dame… But when I walked onto the Duke campus, I just knew that Duke was the dream school for me.
Q: How did you approach the personal essay part of the application? Was this challenging given it is unlike anything you had to write at school?
Max: While the essays are a little daunting, I feel that, having them as part of the application process is a really good thing because while you know your academics are important, you also know the admissions officers are listening to your personal voice. They want to know who you are. That being said, to be honest I had no idea what I was going to write about initially! My Crimson essay mentor was so helpful, I think we went through three or four different ideas and drafts and settled on some close friendships I made in my maths extension class. It's really hard to narrow it down to something that really says something about you but is still creative...but my mentor was so amazing, he worked with me 24/7 as the deadline approached. I remember calling him on Thanksgiving Day and we skyped with his family walking around in the background. He was incredible.
Allie: Well, firstly I think essays are a really great addition to the application process, because they show a student’s real passion for that school. The admissions officers, in reading every lengthy application, know that that student worked hard on every supplement, every essay, every response. And I think writing those essays, it really reminds you why you want to go to that university. I think that having that sort of passion and people praising you on that passion is so different than the HSC where it’s all about your grades. Of course, the essay isn’t easy. Even if you are good at English, it’s like nothing you’ve ever written before. But my essay mentor was so good. What I liked most about her was she helped me keep my essay real. She was right in there helping me but also she maintained this slight distance from the whole process as well - as she wanted to make sure the statement was ‘me’ which I really appreciated.
Q: A lot of students get fixated on the Ivy League universities, why did you decide to apply early to UChicago and Duke instead?
Max: I think universities like Harvard are just so famous that a lot of people can’t see past them. It’s funny, when I got into UChicago, people said: “Wow, why didn’t you apply to Harvard?” but what most people don’t realise is that UChicago is Top 10 in the world. I just liked Chicago. I suppose I was also looking at Columbia, Cornell and Michigan in the US as well and UCL, King’s College and Saint Andrews in the UK, but I found UChicago the most interesting. I also wanted to live in a big city so Chicago ticked all the boxes.
Allie: It’s funny. I knew nothing about Duke before I visited the school. I think a lot of people assume that American universities are all alike, that the Ivies are all alike, but they’re not. For example, everyone talks about the prestige of the Ivies but when I went to Brown, I didn’t like it. I know it’s an amazing university but I knew it wasn’t for me. But when we went to Duke, it’s hard to describe, but I had this feeling. My mum says that when we walked into Duke, that I turned to her the in same way that I’d turned to her when I first walked into my boarding school, when I’d said: “This is where I want to be.” And at Duke I turned to her and said, ‘Mum, I want to go to Duke’. I think that's when she knew that she was definitely going to support me in making Duke number one because she could see how much I loved it. In the same way that she’d helped me plan my road to high school.
Q: What advice would you give to other students thinking of studying in the US?
Max: I suppose firstly I would say, start early...my application was a bit of a rush in the end, which wasn’t ideal when juggling the HSC! And I would also say that, one of the great draw cards for me was that the US system allows you time to decide who and what you want to be because you don’t have to declare a major until the end of your second year. For example, I loved English at school, but I also loved physics and history. So maybe I could major in physics and minor English, but I don’t have to decide until I try lots of different options. I think, if you are unsure as to what you want to study, then the US is a great alternative.
Allie: I think I would say, and this may be a cliche, but look at studying overseas because it allows you to pursue your passions. It’s definitely a lot of work but it’s also a lot different than you would expect because the application is literally about yourself and not just about the HSC or your academics and that is really refreshing. I also think that, if you find the support like I did with Crimson, it definitely makes it a whole lot easier. With their support you sort of throw your heart and your soul into your applications. If you love the school you are applying to, and you can showcase it through your writing, the admissions officers will see that you are genuine about wanting to study there. They don’t just want to know about the numbers and you don't need the perfect score. Crimson encourages you to put your heart into your application and be proud of who you are, because that’s what differentiates you from others. | 2019-04-22T13:01:22 | https://www.crimsoneducation.org/au/blog/how-we-got-into-duke-and-uchicago |
CANCUN — According to Riviera Maya News, numerous beaches from Cancun to Playa del Carmen have either been red flagged or outright closed due to the effects of Hurricane Irma.
Although the hurricane did not effect Mexico directly, it left the coastline of Yucatan and Quintana Roo under red flag beach watch as strong waves continued Monday and Tuesday to wash up on shores well past their usual break point. In many beach areas, waves are washing ashore past restaurants and into beach-side businesses and parking lots.
Head of the State Coordination of Civil Protection (Coeproc), Adrián Martinez Ortega, explained that due to the strong waves that occurred on beaches in the northern zone of Quintana Roo, state authorities decided to close access to many of the beaches to ensure the safety of beachgoers.
He said that at least 24 hours from Sunday afternoon, the closing of the beaches would be in force, so he asked the public to comply with the instructions of Civil Protection and lifeguards if they are going to the beach.
Adrián Martínez Ortega explained that the waves from Hurricane Irma were due to a phenomenon known as mar de fondo or deep sea and was the reason for the restricted beach access all the way to Solidaridad.
Municipal Directorates of Benito Juárez, Isla Mujeres, Lázaro Cárdenas and Solidaridad have restricted sea access, placing the red flag warnings of strong waves and currents all along the coast.
In Isla Mujeres, the ferry dock of Puerto Juárez for the vehicles crossing has been suspended due to the strong waves. They will reopen when sea conditions improve.
The Port Authority of Quintana Roo (Apiqroo), Alicia Ricalde Magaña, reported that due to security measures, it was decided to change the Cozumel-Playa del Carmen boat route due to the strong waves caused by the remnants of Irma.
State Civil Protection warns people living along the coast to understand the wave situation due to Hurricane Irma.
They also note that maritime navigation has been restricted to boats under 40 feet as well as the suspension of all water activities.
Mar de Fondo is the movement of waves or wave system that spreads out of the area where it has been created, being able to reach far away places. In this state, the sea waves have no relation with the presence of wind, but is the result of wind that originated in another area. Mar de Fondo is not the same as a tsunami, since a tsunami is the result of a seismic movement.

Since casaturca.org my own first look at in 1996, I have put together many top-10 lists from the biggest blunders in Web development. See links to all these types of lists in the bottom of this article. This information presents the highlights: the worst problems of Website development.
1 . Poor Search Extremely literal search engines like google reduce wonderful in that they’re unable to cope with typos, plurals, hyphens, and other variants in the query terms. Such search engines like yahoo are particularly complicated for older users, nevertheless they hurt everyone. A related problem is the moment search engines prioritize results totally on the basis of just how many questions terms they will contain, rather than on each document’s importance. Greater if your google search calls away “best bets” at the top of the list – especially for essential queries, such as the names of your products. Search is the wearer’s lifeline the moment navigation fails. Even though advanced search can sometimes help, straightforward search usually works best, and search must be presented to be a simple pack, since which is what users are looking for.
2 . PDF Data files for Internet Reading Users hate obtaining a PDF FORMAT file although browsing, since it breaks their particular flow. Also simple things like printing or saving documents are hard because normal browser directions don’t work. Layouts are sometimes optimized for any sheet of paper, which will rarely has the exact size of the user’s internet browser window. Bye-bye smooth rolling. Hello very small fonts.
A good grasp of past routing helps you figure out your current location, since it’s the culmination of the journey. Knowing your past and present locations therefore makes it easier to determine where to go next. Links certainly are a key factor with this navigation method. Users can exclude backlinks that turned out fruitless inside their earlier trips. Conversely, some might revisit backlinks they located helpful in earlier times.
Most important, knowing which pages they’ve already visited frees users via unintentionally revisiting the same webpages over and over again.
These types of benefits simply accrue below one crucial assumption: that users can tell the difference among visited and unvisited backlinks because the internet site shows them in different colours. When went to links don’t change color, canadapharmacy24h discount number, canadapharmacy24h discount number, canadapharmacy24h discount number, canadapharmacy24h discount number, canadapharmacy24h discount number, canadapharmacy24h discount number, canadapharmacy24h discount number, canadapharmacy24h discount number. users display more navigational disorientation in usability evaluating and unintentionally revisit similar pages oftentimes.
Search is the most important way users discover websites. Search is also probably the most important techniques users discover their approach around individual websites. The humble page subject is your primary tool to draw new guests from search listings and help the existing users to locate the actual pages that they need.
For different pages compared to the homepage, start off the title with a few of the most prominent information-carrying phrases that illustrate the specifics of what users will discover on that page. Because the page subject is used for the reason that the windowpane title inside the browser, additionally it is used as the label just for the window in the taskbar within Windows, meaning that advanced users will head out between multiple windows under the guidance of your first one or maybe more words of each page title. If your page titles begin with the same ideas, you have seriously reduced functionality for your multi-windowing users.
Taglines on homepages are a related subject: additionally they need to be short and quickly communicate the purpose of the site.
Unfortunately, users also dismiss legitimate style elements that look like common forms of marketing. After all, when you ignore something, you don’t research it at length to find out what it is.
Steadiness is one of the best usability rules: when details always behave the same, users don’t have to worry about what will happen. Instead, they know very well what will happen based on earlier experience. Every time you discharge an apple above Sir Isaac Newton, it will drop in the head. Could good.
A lot more users’ outlook prove correct, the more they may feel in control of the system as well as the more they are going to like it. And the more the program breaks users’ expectations, the more they will come to feel insecure. Oops, maybe if I let go of this kind of apple, it will probably turn into a tomato and jump a mile into the sky.
Opening up new browser microsoft windows is like vacuum pressure cleaner sales person who starts off a check out by emptying an lung burning ash tray around the customer’s floor covering. Don’t dirty my screen with any longer windows, with thanks (particularly since current operating systems have dismal window management).
Designers start new browser windows over the theory that it keeps users on their site. But even disregarding the user-hostile communication implied in tamsulosin 0.4mg. taking over the user’s equipment, the technique is self-defeating since it disables the Back button which is the regular way users return to past sites. Users often don’t notice that a new window provides opened, particularly if they are utilizing a small keep an eye on where the house windows are maximized to fill up the display. So a user who attempts to return to the foundation will be mixed up by a grayed outBack press button.
Links that don’t behave as expected weaken users’ knowledge of their own program. A link could be a simple hypertext reference that replaces the latest page with new content. Users hate unwarranted pop-up windows. Whenever they want the destination show up in a new page, useful to them their browser’s “open in new window” command – assuming, of course , that the website link is not really a huge piece of code that interferes with the browsera??s standard behavior.
Users are highly goal-driven on the Web. They will visit sites because there is something they want to accomplish – maybe even buy your item. The ultimate failure of a site is to forget to provide the information users are searching for. Sometimes the answer then is simply not at this time there and you drop the sale since users need to assume that your product or service isn’t going to meet their needs if you don’t explain the facts. Other times the specifics happen to be buried within thick level of marketing and bland devise. Since users don’t have the perfect time to read anything, such invisible info could almost too not end up being there.
The worst example of not addressing users’ concerns is to steer clear of listing the buying price of products and services. Not any B2C online business site tends to make this miscalculation, but it could rife in B2B, exactly where most “enterprise solutions” are presented so that you can’t tell whether they are suited for 95 people or 100, 1000 people. Cost is the most specific piece of information customers use to understand the character of an offering, and not providing it makes people look lost and reduces the understanding of an item line. We now have hours of video of users requesting “Where’s the cost? ” while tearing their head of hair out.
Also B2C sites often make the associated fault of negelecting prices in product email lists, such as category pages or search results. The actual price is type in both circumstances; it enables users identify among products and click before the most relevant types. | 2019-04-22T12:37:26 | http://epidemikcoalition.com/2018/05/12/biggest-faults-in-site-design/ |
We at ‘Bijli Bachao’ have been getting a lot of queries from our readers, on how to apply the solar inverter technology in the houses, do we need to completely replace the existing inverters, what all modifications are required, and is it possible to apply the solar panel to the regular inverter?, etc. are some of the pertinent queries, which we keep getting on this subject. Therefore we have decided to dedicate one article on this topic, whose application will not only lead to a continuous supply of ‘green’ power but will also lead to a significant savings to the electricity bills.
We all know that solar cells, also called photovoltaic (PV), convert sunlight directly into electricity. PV gets its name from the process of converting light (photons) to electricity (voltage), which is also called as the PV effect. With the concept of the solar conversion kit, any inverter or battery can now be converted into a solar inverter. Solar conversion kit is an additional device or a solar panel which could be connected to our existing home inverters, thus converting the system into a hybrid form. By converting the normal inverter into the solar hybrid inverter, one can connect solar panels to it and start using the solar energy available in the day time for the normal daily use.
How Does Solar Conversion Kit Work?
The solar conversion kits introduce mainly two new parts to the existing inverter system; solar PV modules and the solar converter. The solar PV modules are installed on the roof top at a fixed tilt and generally facing south direction of the location. The energy generated will be brought to the solar converter which is located near the inverter and battery bank. When sun rays fall on these solar panels, the power (DC electricity) is generated, which reaches the batteries through solar converter and batteries get charged. However, the solar panels ensure that the right amount of charge reach the battery because with very high power, there are chances that the batteries may get permanently damaged. A solar converter charges the batteries in different stages and gives a controlled amount of charge, so that they not only get fully charged, but are also able to hold the 100% charge.
Now, when the batteries get fully charged, this solar converter protects batteries from overcharging by intelligently disconnecting the solar power. It also safeguards the solar panels by prohibiting the flow of current in reverse direction from batteries to the solar panels during the night time. During the day when solar power is being generated and is fully charging the batteries, solar converter available in the market also has the ability to intelligently disconnect the mains and power the house via inverter using the energy stored in the batteries. These handy solar converters take almost nothing from the main power supply which means that they do not bring any extra burden to the electricity meter – thus one can generate significant savings in their electricity bills.
When batteries are drained these solar converters first tries to get them charged through solar but in absentia of the solar energy such as during the late evening or the night times, the inverter goes on to the mains mode and gets the power from main grid supply. During late evenings or when sun is pertinently not available, solar converter ably detects that and switches the mains on. The inverter charges the battery through main grid supply so one can get non-stop electricity supply even during power cuts at night.
What is in it for me – Price?
It lets one use the free and green energy generated by solar panels to power all its electrical appliances. One can make huge savings on electricity bill and get to charge the batteries even during power cut and of course help save the environment. Moreover, one also does not need to make any additional investments like purchasing a new inverter set-up, etc, one just needs to put a panel to the existing inverter and enjoy the benefit.
In India, Sukam, Exide, Luminous, Microtek, VGuard, Tez, OKAYA, etc. are the leading players in home inverter manufacturing sector. In the solar inverter market, there are Su-Kam’s patented Solarcon panels/devices, and the Luminous Hybrid Solar Inverter, the most popular branded ones; which can convert any ordinary inverter and battery set-up into solar power system. So, not only one can save energy and cut down on its electricity bill, one is also ably protected with uninterrupted, green power, 24X7 times. For normal use the 250 watt battery inverter kit is recommended, but if one wants to install a high capacity solar panels such as 400, 500 or above 500, then there are battery inverter kits such as SolarCon 24 volt (double) available in the market.
These solar panels are priced somewhere between 2500-3500, depending upon the brand. Infact since the price difference between non-branded conversion kit and the branded conversion kit is minimal; one is advised to go for the branded!
Thus, the solar conversion kits certainly provide a better way to use existing inverter battery systems with the Solar PV technology, one just need to apply this cost effective technology. | 2019-04-22T16:25:30 | https://www.bijlibachao.com/solar/solar-conversion-kit-a-better-way-to-use-existing-inverter-battery-system-with-solar-pv.html |

A tremendous 95% of organisations that have implemented robotic process automation (RPA) say the technology has improved productivity, according to Deloitte’s fourth edition of the Global Robotics Survey, which analyses market trends and emerging practices in robotic and cognitive automation. In addition, 93% of those that have implemented or scaled RPA say it has improved compliance and 81% agree it has reduced cost. “Globally, companies are passing beyond the stage of early experiments in RPA are already measuring results such as improved productivity, increased revenue, cost and risk reduction, better customer and employee experience. In Romania, while an increasing number of companies are interested in exploring RPA, not many have been able to adopt at scale and set solid foundations for full benefits realisation,” said Dinu Bumbacea (photo), Consulting Partner in Charge, Deloitte Romania. | 2019-04-20T23:26:02 | http://www.comunic.ro/article/deloitte-research-95-organisations-using-rpa-say-technology-has-improved-productivity |

Educational institutions play a critical role in eliminating the social breeding ground for homophobia and in providing a safe, secure space for young people to explore their sexual orientation and gender identity. Despite notable progress in some parts of the world, the experiences of the LGBT community illustrate that education systems still largely fail to meet these expectations.
Homo'poly aims to contribute towards a better understanding of homosexuality in secondary and tertiary education. Taking a cross-sectoral approach, the project is active in eight countries, working closely with a participating university and secondary school in each. Homo'poly targets students and lecturers at teaching colleges and universities, teachers in secondary education, and students at secondary schools. It is hoped that, as these participating institutions implement, test and evaluate the resources created by the project, a greater understanding of homosexuality will be reached.
Homo’poly aims to help establish an intercultural dialogue on gender equality, with the aim of strengthening acceptance and a better understanding of homosexuality. The project is active in 8 countries: Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Hungary, Poland and Turkey. Each of these countries brings its own set of approaches towards gender-specific education and upbringing, as well as distinct attitudes towards tolerance, diversity, and homosexuality. By offering and integrating their traditions and experiences, the partner countries will shape a diverse set of products and activities.
Homo’poly will develop a set of resources and didactic materials for secondary and tertiary schools. For more information, visit out learning platform.
Beyond this, Homo'poly looks forward to welcoming you in Leuven, Belgium for two events supported by the project: the 2019 LEER Conference on Education Economics (April 4-5) and the Homo'poly End Conference (May 17-18). We hope to see you all there! | 2019-04-22T02:58:21 | https://homopoly.eu/ |
One hundred telemedicine-related bills have been introduced to define telehealth and telemedicine, redefine licensed provider practice standards, remove artificial barriers or improve coverage and payment options. Some bills seek to improve the telemedicine policy landscape while others risk to severely limit health providers’ clinical decision making and patient choice.

If you haven’t heard, Moana is available on Blu-Ray today! That’s right, hop in the car and head to the store. You can bring Moana home to watch with family tonight. We purchased the digital copy of Moana a few weeks ago and have watched it several times. But now we have the Blu-Ray so we can take it with us in the car!
In case you cannot get to the store today, don’t worry. You can order Moana online and have it shipped directly to your home. Don’t forget to pick up the soundtrack while you’re out and about too.
We picked up the Moana soundtrack when we were in Disney World over Thanksgiving weekend and have been listening to it nearly every day since. The songs are so lively and inspiring. Here is a little clip on how they came up with some of the music for Moana.
I think it’s interesting to hear how they came about making the music. And how they found Auli’i, she is an amazing singer.
If you’ve already seen Moana, you know that Maui’s tattoos can move. Ever wonder how they do that? I thought it was fascinating that they could have a mini-Maui running around and interacting with Maui. Well, Disney did a little clip to let us know how this magic mini-Maui works.
Pretty interesting, isn’t it? Who would’ve thought there is that much going on in an animated movie. I never would’ve thought it was so intricate.
If you haven’t seen Moana, you should. It’s available for streaming and on Blu-Ray, you have several options.
Our favorite character in Moana, besides Moana, is Pua. We just love that cute, little piglet! Who’s your favorite Moana character? There are so many wonderful characters to choose from. We also love the grandmother. She is a hoot! | 2019-04-21T06:53:24 | https://peytonsmomma.com/moana-now-blu-ray/ |
Save the Date: 2019 Farm Dinner Season Announced!
We hope to see you at the farm soon…!
Saturday, June 29th, 3pm Farm tour followed with dinner by Sarah Rinkavage and live music from the "Pickin Bubs."
Saturday, July 20th, 3pm Farm tour followed with dinner by Jess Galli & Mickey Neely of Middle Brow Bungalow and live music from "Belly of the Whale."
Sunday, Sept 1st, 3pm Farm tour followed with Labor Day weekend dinner by Lauren Freeburg & Kevin Quinn with live music from "Glad Rags."
Saturday, Sept 28th, 3pm Farm tour followed with dinner by Ethan Pikas and special feature of Sitka Salmon Shares fish alongside Mint Creek Farm meats. Talks about ecology, farming, & fishing from both farmer Harry Carr and fisherman Marsh Skeele. Live music from "Ali Baker."
If I had a bird’s eye view, this is how Mint Creek sheep and pigs would look right now. Our farm is small, but for a small farm, not unsubstantial in size. As you probably know, it spans a little over 220 acres of certified organic pastures. We have cows, goats, and poultry as well--and many guard dogs. But in this article, I feel like talking about our sheep and pigs.
It just so happens that currently the sheep are set up in the middle of the farm. Though now our farm is much more diversified, Mint Creek’s first animals were sheep. Head Farmer Harry often says “it was not that I found the sheep--it’s the other way around; they found me.” I am his daughter and when I was a young child in the early 1990s, a friend and neighbor of our family’s had some sheep that they wanted to get rid of. We gratefully took them in, and those were our first sheep. Jackie, Mercedes, & Wild Eyes were some of the names we gave the ewes in our first small flock. Shortly after we got sheep we added a small flock of laying chickens and occasional meat chickens to our family farm, but for many years to follow our farm was always “sheep-centric.” I remember that we even experimented with playing our pregnant ewes classical music one winter in the lambing barn to see if it helped soothe their birthing processes. We all agreed that it was nice, but we weren’t sure if the sheep cared about the music or not.
The sheep’s winter housing is called “the coverall” barn and it’s the central barn at Mint Creek. Clearly the sheep dominate this main barn which lies at the southern end of our largest swath of organic pasture. Sometimes a few of our pigs get to use a little corner of the coverall. Sometimes the goats or poultry get a corner temporarily, too. But the sheep have most of the coverall barn space reserved here for their comfort and warmth on rainy and/or cold days. However, much of the colder weather time, and most all of the summer, the sheep spend entirely outside. Currently they have a “run” setup from the barn to their late winter/early spring pasture paddocks. This run is basically a long hallway from barn access to the pasture paddock. It has been painstakingly created from portable fencing by us and our amazing farm staff. To their delight and as they please, the sheep go to-and-fro from their inner barn area to their expansive winter/spring paddocks (which stretch towards the center of our acreage).
Lately, with the first spring flush pasture growth, the sheep have been escaping pretty frequently through the fence and claiming an even larger section of our farm as their own. We haul water to them with our water wagon twice a day and offer them organic hay (dried grass & pasture greens) each day or so. The hay bales are so heavy on the front of our small Kubota tractor, that we need a counter-weight on the back of the tractor while feeding them the bales. Our water wagon is a large water tank on a trailer hooked to a powerful farm truck. Whoever does the water runs has to become an expert at backing it up every which way as our narrow driveways and paths do not often allow you to just turn around in a circle. If you were a bird flying over the farm, you’d spend a lot of time watching us haul water and backup a giant truck and trailer set-up.
This water wagon hauls water to our pigs as well. If any species is giving the sheep a competitor in farm animal supremacy right now, it is the pigs. They seem to be converging on every side. While our herbivorous farm animals eat leafy greens pretty exclusively, our pigs have a hunger for roots, as well, and they desire a variety of forage. Pigs leave something of a path of destruction wherever they go, like little rototillers. However, pigs continue to be a successful and growing part of the farm ecosystem at Mint Creek. Pigs play a different part. They make use of poorer pastures in a way that the grazers, in contrast, can’t. They love to root up sections of weeds, and turn piles of dirt. Pigs also provide some of the most delicious meat a farmer can raise. The art of multi-species farming on pasture is the art of balancing the strength of pigs into the farm ecosystem without allowing them to root up too many perennial prairie pasture roots. This is important because perennial prairie pasture plants and their roots are at the core of our farm’s environmental benefits. The perennial pastures fix carbon into the soil and support biodiverse plant & soil life.
Right now, we have a whopping six distinct groups of pigs, three of those being groups of a couple sows in an area mothering their piglets together. All pig groups ranging from 7-25 total pigs/piglets. So rest assured that while our pig herds are expanding in general, they are still in very small groups and total less than 100 in pig numbers on our farm. To put this in perspective, some other farmers’ market vendors have a few thousand pigs total. We prefer small groups because pigs have “pecking orders” of their own and it is always risky to combine groups that are not socialized to each other. Whenever the group of pigs gets larger, inevitably a certain small runt or two gets bullied by bigger, bolder ones. Smaller groups of pigs tend to help prevent this.
These two farm animal species, sheep and pigs, are very different (in both function and energy). Sheep started us off and continue to thrive on Mint Creek Farm (as well as lamb being in such high demand at the farmers’ market)! Meanwhile, we are getting to know and love pig farming more and more, as well, as time goes on. Our goal is a symbiotic farm ecosystem where many different species can thrive together.

Farming is more than a job, it’s a whole lifestyle. I believe sharing from our lives, what we do and how it works is key, because it gains the cross-pollination of ideas with our community. Our culture prioritizing holistic farming & eating will be integral in many kinds of positive change, from individuals gaining improved physical health to animals being treated respectfully to the turning of tables in a direction towards increased environmental sustainability. Farming is just one of many parts of this whole picture, but it’s the part of the puzzle I will focus on. We can talk about these changes happening together as a community and do the small steps each of us can to support these causes. That’s what keeps my hopes up when it’s hard times.
What I want to try and share is a sense of what it’s like to be a small, ethically focused livestock farmer. It’s a lifetime sort of project. The idea that one could get very far as a farmer in a season or two is unrealistic and farmers’ have to tend to commit to their farming vision through thick and thin through many, many years of arduous work. Nothing about farming is quick. The beginning of it all isn’t quick and goes something like acquiring capital, to purchasing or leasing land, to learning how to setup your farming systems and bringing in your initial stock. But that’s just the beginning, before making all that actually work and run and learning from your mistakes and somehow figuring out how to be financially sustainable while keeping both your goals/values/ethics and your sanity intact. And then if and when you want to retire or get out of the farm you have the difficult and time consuming task of finding & training someone to pass on the torch to (no small matter) or getting rid of everything you have spent all those previous years attaining.
In our particular family farm, head farmer Harry already had a business that kept him working long work weeks, and that is what afforded him the opportunity financially to get into farming initially. It was many, many years before the farm had any staff at all other than our family members though. For my farming parents starting out, all animal care was done before and after the already taxing job of running a small manufacturing business and raising us kids. We certainly got very involved in the farm chores from a young age, too.
This is a huge reality check to realize that not just our family, but many family farms do all the farming work on top of entire other jobs or businesses. It really does mean probably not being able to take days off very often (certainly not two a week) and very seldom going out of town or on vacation. Many farms like ours are at least not yet “cash cows” but are actually still soaking in investment money (i.e. we are actually all in all paying for the privilege to be able to raise food on the land, not putting away extra cash).
Over the years of growing up around this situation, I have asked myself so many times “why does it have to be this way? Why is farming so hard?” Maybe you have asked yourself this before, too. The conclusion I have come to is that farming is so hard because we are “pushing against stone” or “swimming upwards against the current” so to speak. The current and the stone we are up against is an extremely messed up food system that no one person can reverse by themselves. In the meantime, our struggle must be as a team and is somewhat gargantuan.
For starters, general expectations of food pricing and quality are way far in the direction of low prices and bad quality food. The industrial food system has taken such a hold over our diets and our minds that even us farmers doing this hard work often for free have trouble bringing themselves to charge what it costs to grow the food, let alone what it costs plus a decent profit margin. But even when we get up the courage to try to charge what we need to, we are met with some essential support from more knowledgeable consumers (you), but also often get complaints and attitude from people asking “are you out of your mind, this product only usually costs a fraction of what you’re asking in the store?!” One can’t take that kind of thing personally, but on a bad day, it’s hard to stomach the clueless attitude of many folks. It’s also often hard for chefs in restaurants to get their customers to pay the extra money for well sourced ingredients, they have to make it a big priority and also be intelligent about how they do it. There are so many food marketing buzzwords thrown into the mix of products at stores, markets, and in restaurants that people also get very confused about what’s what at times and so it’s easy to believe momentarily that something can be both cheap and holistically farmed.
That’s something we can all work together to do, we can talk about food pricing with friends, colleagues, and family, whoever it might be productive to talk to about. It can’t hurt to question everything as far as marketing & pricing goes and try to understand how farming works. Have we all considered lately how there are only a couple skirt steaks on an entire cow and that entire cow was a living, breathing creature for years before it was harvestable? Or what about the fact that a whole chicken was a living breathing creature that was cared for day after day for many weeks….? What about the responsibility of maintaining that animal’s life in a way that is good for the environment and nutritionally dense, in addition to being tasty? Twenty dollars starts to seem pretty cheap at that point. It just puts in perspective the “normal” commodity food pricing--that pricing is based on a system that treats living things like inanimate objects for exploitation.
That commodity system cares only about the business of profits and sales, and is a race to the bottom, a race to the cheapest pricing mixed with the best marketing. Conventional farms and food businesses do not in general even try to consider the long-term health and happiness of the consumer, or the animal, or the environment.
I want holistic, ethical farmers’ to start being able to charge enough for their products that they can pay for enough good staffing to have days off when they need, and for elderly farmers to have the savings to be able afford the farm help and rest they need especially later in life. I want ecological farmers that have just thrown their entire life energy into farming for decades to make more than minimum wage, or worse, under that, after all those years working at it.
The responsibility of having lots of living things to nurture (farm animals for the livestock farm, or for the produce farmer, plants) and to care for responsibly is extremely rewarding, but also relentless. Despite whatever time it is, whatever day it is, whatever the weather is, or your health, can one walk away from a farm of half-watered animals or plants? They would die. It is arguably just as burdensome as it is satisfying to take responsibility for this situation. Every season has its challenges at Mint Creek. We go from the bustle and never ending work hours of summer, to the concentrated pressure of Thanksgiving turkey season, to the long hard winter of keeping the animals fed, watered, warm, and comfortable through intense weather while the livestock also start to give birth to all their newborn babies. But farmers keep doing it for many reasons, among them the hope of healthy, happier lives for all those benefiting from the farms’ production. And for do occasionally experience the ever idealized but hardly describable communion and synergy with mother nature and living things that may flood the mind with peace. If we seem a little crazy at the farmers’ market, it’s probably because we are!
Don't forget that now is your last chance to secure tickets for this weekend's Farm Dinner with Chef Greg Biggers of Cafe des Architectes! It's going to be a beautiful evening with food, music, and of course all our farm animals!
What to look forward to in this farm event in particular?
June is a beautiful & busy month on Mint Creek Farm. In June, we are not yet well into the intense heat of summer, with the shadows of Spring still lingering in the green & blooming pastures, blue skies, and baby animals growing up to be not so baby anymore running about. What could be a better way to get in touch with local, organic-pasture farming the summer than to visit and have head farmer Harry show you around the groups of livestock and pasture? Adults and kids alike get drawn in by the magic of a herd of sheep or cows softly grazing the fields.
Chef Greg Biggers' cuisine is not to be missed and neither is Glad Rags' music. Both the food and the music will nuanced, delicious, creative, and fun! We are excited to have Chef Greg Biggers out for his second farm dinner at Mint Creek Farm (he came out last July, as well). We are very grateful to Greg and the restaurant he is chef at,Cafe Des Arctitectes at the Sofitel Hotel. This will now be Glad Rag's third year performing at a Mint Creek Farm dinner, and their band evolves into something more and more delightful and interesting each year!
Special to June 24th is the optional, early-afternoon, pre farm tour yoga class taught by our very own CSA member Briana Kline, who is a certified yoga and pilates instructor base at her Chicago south loop studio: Roots of Integrity.
Glad Rags' Band Camp here.
We hope to see you on the farm! Don't forget to check out our full schedule of farm dinners, .
Gearing up for outdoor market season!
As spring comes well underway, things are very busy at the farm. Head farmer Harry just went a few weeks without a day off and finally got one off this Monday. There has been many births of baby lambs & calves, many of our pigs (including the infamous Miss Scarlet) are pregnant, and the grass is growing fast in the spring flush. The laying chickens & ducks are excited about all the fresh pasture & bugs and the big, furry, guard dogs are grateful for the comfortable temperatures. We constantly have portable fencing to move the animals into fresh paddocks to eat up the perennial pasture plants.
having fun walking with this sweet little newborn lamb after our Easter brunch event!
There's so much work to do on equipment and summer poultry & livestock housing, fencing, & shade-netting, and we are in the process training & hiring new farmhands and interns for the 2017 summer season (so if you know anyone well suited for this job, please send them our way).
On the sales & inventory fronts we are excited to start summer market season. Our farm has a bigger & better than ever organic-grassfed meat, egg, and (first ever) bone-broth product supply planned for you this season! But guess what? We don't have to wait long, as outdoor market season is almost here, just another week or two and it will be, and we almost are ready for it.
In the meantime, Don't forget to visit Green City Market inside the Nature Museum today, April 29th, from 8am-1pm as it will be the last indoor market of the the season! We have eggs, lamb, goat, beef, pork, chicken, duck, & turkey available tomorrow in addition to our farm's pasture flower honey & frozen poultry bone broth.
Outdoor markets' opening days at Green City Market (7am) & Evanston downtown market (7:30am) happen on May 6th, the following weekend. We will do 10 markets per week once the season is in full swing so be sure so be sure to check out our farmers' market tab, and mark your calendars!
In livestock news, our chicken egg production is way down right now because of lack of daylight hours (which the hens find just about as uninspiring as we do). Duck egg production from our laying ducks is completely at a stop until April or May.
It's been a wet & mucky week at the farm this week with temperatures roller-coasteering from one extreme to another. This is really hard on all parties involved, from our staff, livestock, poultry and also for our tractors & vehicles. Multiple trucks have had to go in for repairs--bad news for farm expense! The wind was insane & it was picking up large objects around the farm (including the back window of our utility vehicle), yesterday. The smaller farm animals had to hunker down and walk slowly & heavily braced against ground to avoid being picked up by the wind. My hat blew off so many times I gave up on wearing it.
We've continued caring for our new baby lambs and goats, but also had a baby calf born at the end of last week on one of those super frigid days! Our cattle are tough as the cowboys they once evolved among, though, and mind the weather least of all the farm animals. The calf was fine!
Birth has been happening, yes, but it's also been time to say goodbye to many of our meat poultries. Yesterday and today we've had to catch and harvest a combined few hundred stewing hens & turkeys for butchering into meat cuts, in addition to a small butcher load of four-legged livestock. This is always a somber task, but also what enables the farm to continue and our market & CSA community to eat well.
"...the organic movement is about keeping our community, ecosystems, and natural resources healthy. That’s such a beautiful and inspiring goal, I’m happy to devote my life to organic farming–hard work, low pay and all–to reach towards making our world healthier and more resilient!"
Not all organic farming is sustainable but all sustainable farming is organic, broadly speaking. For our farms to be able to produce wholesome foods requires that they avoid hormones, GMOs, pesticides, and other chemicals. The rise of many health problems can be linked to the use of all these contaminating and corrupting elements on and in the foods as they are grown conventionally. I am proud to be a part of the organic movement, because counteracting unhealthy, destructive farming methods is what it’s all about. On top of that, the organic movement is about keeping our community, ecosystems, and natural resources healthy. That’s such a beautiful and inspiring goal, I’m happy to devote my life to organic farming–hard work, low pay and all–to reach towards making our world healthier and more resilient! Additionally, food and animals are such a big part of life, or what I think of life to its fullest, and organic farming culture is very food and animal-centric, which I love.
This is largely up to the people of our nation and our world collectively. It’s quite the fight to stand up to large and powerful corporations like Monsanto that want to make it very hard to avoid their corrupted food products and keep our land free of their GMOs. But other nations have done this, so why can’t the U.S.A.? I think this is largely about embracing and creating a culture that is more focussed on the holistic process of food being grown and served. This culture has shown itself in nations such as France, where meals may take three hours to finish, and no one complains. This culture shows itself more in almost every other country where people are paying a higher percentage of their income towards foods than in the U.S. However, it seems , at least from my little bubble of the universe, that people are demanding better, healthier food in mass, and that awareness about how to get this food and what goes into growing it is increasing. A study down at Walmart of all places in the last few years showed that 99% of people would eat organic if the could afford it.
I am the sales manager at Mint Creek Farm. We are a small farm business so I am not a conventional sales manager, but wear many hats throughout the business. Basically I feel like having this role means that the buck stops with me when it comes to all issues sales/distribution/marketing. I also love to get down to the farm to help care for the animals and make sure to do this as much as I can.
My vision of our family farm is informed by my dad, who been the mastermind and visionary at Mint Creek since the beginning, my brother who has been such a key player in taking the business forward, and our lovely community of staff and customers. I am inspired by the dual forces of ambition/high-mindedness and practical change coming together at the farm. I see us working hard on knitty gritty details of how to run a successful diversified livestock farm business while making sure that this means improving our local ecosystem, our farm animals’ well-being, and our community. The direction that all of these focal points come together around is growth. Our business model requires us to scale our farming to a point where we can afford to have the infrastructure and staff we need. The lands around us look on sadly gray and depleted by conventional farming, dead to most signs of nature, and just asking to be converted to organic, holistic perennial pasture farming! In contrast, nature blooms in abundance here at Mint Creek on our IL prairie pasture farm–from grass to legume to wild pheasant to domesticated livestock–and the demand for our farms’ organic-grassfed meats, eggs, and CSAs is stronger than ever.
This very same focal point of the farm’s growth is where Iroquois Valley Farms has come into play. Without IVF we wouldn’t be able to follow all these demands for growth and our longevity as a business might have looked doubtful right now. I cannot stress enough how important IVF’s involvement, guidance, and financing support has to been to our family farm. Honestly, I don’t know if we would have survived another winter without the refinancing of our land that IVF offered. And this is all while there has been 3X more demand than supply of our products as we go to market! Financing can be very hard to get for the farmer focused on organic, holistic, diversified farming methods. It is incomprehensible to those that are conventionally minded and come from monoculture corn and beans farming backgrounds. Many banks we had spoken with before going with IVF were coming from that conventional background. You’d think working with nature instead of against it would be more common sense than it is these days in the U.S. farming world. Thank you IVF for seeing eye to eye with us on farmings’ future, and being rooted in holistic values. I love your mission statement and slogan about looking forward to seven generations from now and deciding what is wise from that perspective.
Having practiced a variety of rotational grazing techniques over the last several decades I am quite impressed with the beneficial sod forming capabilities of what is commonly known as mob grazing. By allowing long rest periods the pasture plants can set deep roots. They can spread thru rhizomes and stolons which allow a general thickening of the pasture along with natural reseeding.
The older more mature plants are often passed over by the animals who graze in high concentrations for very short time periods. This high concentration causes much trampling of the mature plants which enable a thick plant litter on the pasture floor. This litter holds moisture just like mulch in a garden. It also breaks down to feed the soil organisms which proliferate under this scheme. The animals select for the younger more tender plant shoots which are highly nutritious. Due to frequent moves they are always getting fresh choice fodder and the plants are allowed a faster regrowth by not overgrazing.
Truly a perennial polyculture of pasture plants grazed using this method has great potential to heal our environment through the building of soil organic matter (carbon sequestration), reducing erosion, and the improved economics of synergistic resource management. | 2019-04-25T12:40:33 | https://mintcreekfarm.com/blog/ |

According to the CDC, there has been a significant increase in drug overdose deaths nationally. In 2016, Kentucky ranked in the top five states with drug overdoses; and opioids have been a main driver. This is important because demographic groups who have historically been low risk for using opioids are now using these drugs. Following this upward trend, there has also been a rise in sexually transmitted infections (STI), according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, specifically HIV and Hepatitis B and C. Because Kentucky ranks highly, this study explores possible reasons why STI and Drug Overdose rates have increased. The purpose of this analysis is to discover what similarities or differences exist in social indicators of health in counties that rank in the top ten (best) and bottom ten (worst) in health factors. This will be done through a five-year analysis of secondary data available from the County Health Rankings as well as county level data from hospitals and police records. The results of this study show an upward trend in drug overdose and HIV rates as well as a statistically significant difference in the healthy counties having more educated people, higher percentage of insured people and less child poverty. Findings from this study are likely to contribute to the call of Public Health 3.0 to make long lasting improvements in health through facilitating cross-sectoral collaborations.

Besides running a joke store, what occupation would you see George being good at?
No! Nope.Nope.Nope. I will not answer this^^ Because that would mean that I accept that Fred died and that George was never ok again. And I don't. I soooo don't. I adore both of the twins but I think George is my favorite...and thinking of him being in pain like that for the rest of his life is too much to bear. So. I want him running Weasley Wizard Wheezes. With Fred. Until they're both old and gray and pass it on to their children and godchildren. That is all.
However. In this reality where both of them are alive, I can say that I could see them being comedians, radio-personalities (like they did in Deathly Hallows during the dark days with Potter-watch) or some type of entertainers. I think both of them would really be good at that kind of stuff....but they NEED to be doing it together. Forever. Ok? Ok.
I'm with you.... I am forever in denial about that death... it was horrible because the twins are probably my favorite aside from Sirius.
Fred isn't alive? What are you talking about, silly person? He's right there laughing next to George and EVERYTHING IS FINE OKAY.
I hope your week is going spectacular! I've been beyond stressed and so much is going on personally so I missed out on this one. I am desperate to get back into reading. I did get to see Fantastic Beasts though! It wasn't quite what I was expecting but I wasn't let down at all. I agree with you here that it's hard to imagine them as anything but a unit. I LOVE how you pointed out about them being radio hosts. In such a dark time, they still managed to make the show funny. I think that would be a great gig for them. | 2019-04-22T12:22:25 | http://www.lunar-rainbows.com/2016/12/harry-potter-moment-171.html |

The summer of 1983 isn't shaping up to be much fun for 12-year-old Shaun. There's little to do in his northern English coastal town. His father has recently died, leaving the friendless Shaun with just his distracted mother. In a culture of youth tribes -- punks, New Romantics and neo-mods -- the pre-adolescent Shaun is a bona fide nobody, repeatedly persecuted and bullied for such crimes as wearing unfashionable trousers. But Shaun has a lucky break when he stumbles -- literally -- into a group of skinheads, who adopt him as their youthful mascot.
Shaun's painful coming-of-age forms the core of This Is England, Shane Meadows' period drama that combines a splash of early '80s pop-culture nostalgia (Rubik's cubes, aerobics, massively crimped hair) with its darker political and social corollaries such as rising unemployment, Thatcherism, fallout from the Falklands war and a ugly new brand of nationalism.
Shaun's newfound friends aren't as thuggish as they look: They're the more peaceful ska-music-loving skins, a mixed crew of lovable losers, girls and one black guy, led by cheerful and generous Woody (Joseph Gilgun). They quickly get Shaun kitted out -- Doc Martens, tight jeans held up with braces, Ben Sherman shirt and, of course, the requisite hairdo. While they enjoy boozing and the odd bit of victimless destruction (for unexplained reasons, the group dresses up in outlandish costumes before the wrecking spree, reminiscent of the highly stylized hooligans in A Clockwork Orange), they're decent sorts at heart. Witness their hilarious encounter with Shaun's mum, who turns up outraged over his new hairdo.
It's all a laugh -- even if Shaun is growing up a bit too fast -- until the gang's old mate resurfaces.
Combo's been inside for three years, and has been re-educated. Now, being a skinhead isn't a youthful pose and a fashion choice; it's an ethos, a mission, the rallying cry for the new nationalism that says "England for the English," to be enforced by the boot, if necessary.
Combo's arrival splits the group, leaving Shaun torn between the easy camaraderie of Woody and the seductive, balls-out intensity of Combo. Shaun harbors a deep hurt that Combo not only coincidently uncovers, but also assuages. Shaun chooses, and -- of course -- he chooses badly: He's 12 years old, aching to belong and to find meaning in a life that's suddenly grown frightening.
The 35-year-old writer-director Meadows has made a handful of films, of which only his 2002 mash-up of kitchen-sink dramedy and spaghetti Western, Once Upon a Time in the Midlands, has been seen here theatrically; England, he has said, is based in part on his own youthful experiences.
To set the scene, Meadows uses archival clips of the news and various TV programs. But like his obvious forebears in similarly styled and themed films, directors Ken Loach and Mike Leigh, Meadows does much within the narrative to convey a specific time and place. Shaun's disaffected working-class milieu resonates from every scene shot in a shabby shopping district, pokey council housing and a greasy tearoom. Likewise, Meadows uses small scenes to suggest the pervasive gloominess and resentment that underscored the hearty flag-waving of Mrs. Thatcher's government.
Nothing that happens in England will come as much of a surprise to adult viewers, but as the story unfolds through Shaun's naive eyes it still packs some well-placed blows. Central to this is the breakout performance of Thomas Turgoose as Shaun. His grave little face registers pain, pride, embarrassment, anger, confusion and even a certain awkward tenderness, as he develops a crush on an equally maladjusted but considerably older girl. His bumbling longing to fit in with the older boys is perfectly articulated with too-loud laughter and parroted phrases.
A tip of the pork-pie hat also goes to actor Stephen Graham, who makes the frequently repellent Combo seem nearly as vulnerable. Meadows could have easily made the angry skinhead a stock character, a one-dimensional bogeyman. Instead, he sketches out Combo cleverly in a series of scenes, so that we, like the impressionable Shaun, see Combo as a jokester, a skilled manipulator, a leader, a sentimentalist, a self-deluded humanist and an unreflective man for whom life's myriad disappointments and hurts have alchemized into barely suppressed rage and displaced hatred. When the film builds to its inevitable decisive brutality, we know enough about Combo to shift anxiously to the edge of our seats during a seemingly innocuous bit of banter about family holidays.
The transition from a tender boyhood to the cold hard facts of life is a perennial subject of cinema -- Meadows even explicitly acknowledges the genre's touchstone, Truffaut's 1959 film The 400 Blows. This Is England, though anchored in the specifics of the director's own adolescence during the broody days of Thatcher's Britain, is nonetheless a worthy addition to the canon and a fine re-telling of this universal journey. | 2019-04-18T20:06:38 | https://www.pghcitypaper.com/pittsburgh/this-is-england/Content?oid=1338917 |
Actually, Printful also falls into the class of dropshipper, or a provider that stores the products for youpersonally, packages them, and ships them out to your customers after a buy. So, basically, all you need to do is upload your designs and begin posting them on your site to begin selling. Within this Printful review, we’ll outline the benefits of the service and show why many users select Printful over the alternatives.
The Brief story Is that Printful does not have as large of selection of merchandise when compared with the competition.

So, let us say I Wanted to sell some t-shirts together with my own custom design printed on them. Printful includes a large group of shirts from different brands and made out of different materials. Each product gets the info recorded for pricing, colors, shipping places, and testimonials.
As you walk Through the product creation process, you will see an option to create your own pricing and view the possible profit. I guess most t-shirts go for around $10 to $15, so I list mine as $14.99.
One of the primary Reasons I like Printful so much is because it concentrates on certain products, but does them well. For instance, t-shirts seem so straightforward, but some of the t-shirts are of incredible quality, so you can turn your store into somewhat of a high-end provider.
I’d argue The Printful base costs are somewhere in the middle compared to the competition. I’ve seen some fairly cheap prices from competitors like Printify and Gooten, but once again, those two choices appear to have more trouble with transport and general quality.
I’m convinced You can definitely turn a profit for most of your sales through Printful, as long as you’re not pricing things over what people would ordinarily pay. People know that custom printing is more expensive, so they’re typically ready to pay a premium. In addition, you have to determine the possible profit before publishing it to your site, so if a product does not yield a good return, simply look for a cheaper model or hike up the price a bit. | 2019-04-23T14:23:33 | https://camelandbirdie.com/what-product-to-sell-online-2016-printful-review-2019/ |
One of the things I love about Japan is where and how people live. I live in central London which can be a very crowded place to live sometimes and many people like me live in very small houses. I myself live in a studio flat which is basically a large room which is my bedroom and living space with a very small kitchen room and shower/toilet room.
Having such a small a place I have to be creative with storage space and use things like a sofa which folds out to become a bed. Also I try to keep my home as minimalist as possible something that the Japanese have been doing for generations.
As you can see from this tour of a traditional Japanese house.
A good way to learn how to organise space is to take a lesson from the Japanese, not only do they have some of the most confined living spaces in the world but they are very organised and have adapted very well with living in these small spaces with some very ingenious ideas for storage and living.
Below is some examples of space saving Japanese homes.
