"Our ongoing endeavour to develop the race, which is also reflected in our newly acquired WorldTourstatus, imposes high demands on us. The experience of A.SO. and its employees will certainly benefit the event."
The German company owning the Eschborn-Frankfurt cycling classic (Gesellschaft zur Förderung des Radsports) has become a fully owned subsidiary under the umbrella of Amaury Sport Organisation (A.S.O.), which will rely on the existing organisational team for the delivery of the event.
Hermann and Erwin Moos launched Frankfurt's iconic race in 1962 as the Rund um den Henninger-Turm. Organisational reasons led the brothers to establish the Gesellschaft zur Förderung des Radsports mbh, which historically was and will remain the official organiser of the race traditionally held on 1 May.
Bernd Moos-Achenbach and his team have organised the classic for the last 15 years. "55 years after my father and uncle set up the event, Eschborn-Frankfurt has reached the top flight of world cycling", explains Bernd Moos-Achenbach. "I feel responsible for preparing the future of cycling in Frankfurt, Eschborn and the Rhine-Main area. I am therefore delighted that, after several years of very positive and cooperative exchanges, we will now get work together with A.S.O."
Bernd Moos-Achenbach and his team will continue to organise the 1 May cycling classic under the terms of the agreement. A.S.O. will help the Frankfurt team plan and organise the event, in addition to providing technical and sporting support.
"Our team has organised over 50 editions of the race at the highest level. Our ongoing endeavour to develop the race, which is also reflected in our newly acquired WorldTourstatus, imposes high demands on us. The experience of A.SO. and its employees will certainly benefit the event ", says Bernd Moos-Achenbach.
Bringing the Frankfurt classic under its umbrella is the next step in A.S.O.'s aspiration to play an active role in the long term development of German cycling. Eschborn-Frankfurt, the only event in the world with 17 races and side events held on the same day, was the obvious choice among German cycling races. A.S.O. reached its first milestone by organising the Grand Départ of this year's Tour de France in Düsseldorf and reviving the Deutschland Tour under the name Deutschland. Deine Tour. ('Germany. Your Tour.') starting in August 2018.
Apart from the sporting aspects and professional structure, the ethos of the Moos-Achenbach family was a key factor in A.S.O.'s decision.
"The Moos family has spent half a century promoting cycling. We share their aspiration to support German cycling in all its aspects. We have had a close relationship with the organising team and Bernd Moos-Achenbach for many years and we are impressed with their high standards for organisation. The dedication to quality and the enthusiasm from the spectators transpire through all of the events run on the event day, from the pro race all the way to the talent and amateur races.", says A.S.O. General Manager Yann Le Moënner.
In keeping with the motto "from world-class riders to first graders" and much to the delight of a million spectators, pro cyclists, under-23 riders, participants in the inclusive races and up to 5,000 amateur cyclists take part in the event every year. The race exhibitions in Eschborn and Frankfurt's Alte Oper, together with festivals in the Taunus and the famous and notorious Mammolshainer Berg, make the 1st May a celebration of cycling throughout the entire region. | 2019-04-19T13:21:58 | http://cyclingquotes.com/news/aso_take_over_major_german_worldtour_race/?acceptCookie=1 |

Donald Trump never tires of calling the millions of Americans who oppose his policies sore losers and paid protesters. He and his minions tell us that they won the election fair and square, and that the rest of us should 'just get over it'. In his mind, it's personal. The way The Donald sees it, like everything that happens in the world, it's all about him.
But what Trump and his minions aren't able to grasp is that the unprecedented upwelling of opposition is not about a lost election. It's not about a flawed voting process that has put the second-place finisher in the White House. For the most part, it's not even about partisan politics. The anger that's manifesting itself in a wave of unprecedented citizen action is about the undermining of basic American values.
Perhaps the most egregious example among many is the Muslim ban. Discriminating against people on the basis of religion rubs most Americans the wrong way. After all, equal treatment under the law is the most fundamental of our founding principles. It says so right in the Declaration of Independence. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."
Take that away and what have you got?

*NOTE: In place of the walnut or vegetable oil and raspberry or rice vinegar you can use 2-3 tablespoons of a raspberry/walnut vinaigrette salad dressing (walnut oil is hard to find in small quantities and is pricey).
In a 4 to 6 quart pan, combine wild rice, salt and one quart water. Bring to a boil over high heat; cover, reduce heat and simmer until rice is tender to bite and most grains have just split open, approximately 45-60 minutes. Drain in a colander and let cool.
While rice is cooking, spread walnuts in a baking pan and toast in a 325 degree oven until lightly golden under skins. Coarsely chop walnuts. Cut cranberries in half. In a 2 to 3 quart pan over medium-high heat, stir the sugar and 1/4 cup water until the sugar is dissolved and mixture boils. Remove from heat and stir in halved cranberries. Gently stir occasionally until insides of cranberries have turned red but are still firm. pour through a fine strainer into a bowl, reserving the cranberry sugar syrup.
In a large bowl, gently mix wild rice, cranberry halves, oil and vinegar/vinaigrette. (See note above).* Stir in 2 tablespoons cranberry syrup, taste and add up to 1/4 cup more syrup to sweeten and moisten salad as desired.
Cover and chill for at least four hours or up to one day. Stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the green onions, along with the walnuts and dried cranberries. Sprinkle with remaining green onions just before serving. | 2019-04-24T02:53:30 | http://www.wiscran.org/recipes/salads/wild-rice-cranberry-salad/ |
Professional teeth whitening improves smiles by removing discoloration and yellowing from the surface of teeth. The treatment works safely, quickly, and painlessly to make smiles up to eight shades whiter.
Dental Restorative Group provides both in-office and at-home professional teeth whitening to patients in Cambridge and Greater Boston. As a general dental and prosthodontic practice, we offer high-quality care and extensive experience in aesthetic and restorative procedures. Just as importantly, we prioritize patient comfort in every visit.
Learn more about how we help Cambridge, Belmont, or Arlington patients achieve smiles that are more noticeable for all of the right reasons. Then, get in touch for an appointment at our practice.
Over time, your smile can become stained and take on a yellow or darker appearance. Certain foods and drinks, like wine, tea, and soda, are the most common causes. Another is the nicotine and tar from smoking. Some patients are genetically disposed to teeth staining regardless of diet or behavior.
The stains that you see on your teeth usually start on or beneath the surface level (the tooth enamel). Over time, these surface stains can penetrate into the deeper-layer dentin and darken the entire tooth.
Teeth whitening breaks apart the bonds that create stains to reduce or eliminate their appearance. Dental Restorative Group uses the Philips Zoom system, a professional whitening approach that is fast and effective and that comes in both in-office and at-home treatments.
Teeth whitening is a painless treatment. However, Zoom applications vary in their intensity. More intense versions can cause tooth sensitivity for some patients, making it uncomfortable to eat cold, hot, or sweet foods.
Examine your teeth and determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment.
Talk with you about how much whiter you want your teeth to be.
Ask questions to determine if in-office or home treatment is right for you.
Take impressions of your teeth to create customize trays.
If you are sensitive to treatment, you may benefit from lower-intensity teeth whitening over a longer period of time. If not, you may prefer more intense treatment in a single office visit or with fewer home treatments.
Your doctor prepares your teeth and applies whitening gel.
The doctor activates the Philips Zoom lamp to accelerate the work of the gel.
This application is repeated three-to-four times depending on your needs.
With in-office teeth whitening, your doctor can adjust the intensity of your treatment, one of the reasons that most of our patients report little-to-no discomfort in their visit. Afterwards, the doctor may recommend that you maintain your results with a home teeth whitening kit.
Some patients prefer to have teeth whitening at a place and time that is more convenient to their schedule. For this reason, our practice offers Cambridge and Boston-area patients teeth whitening they can do at home.
A prescription-strength home kit will include a set of dental trays customized to your mouth that you will line with whitening gel. The duration and interval for when and how long you will wear the trays depends on the intensity of your treatment. Most patients treat their teeth daily for about one week. If you prefer to wear your teeth whitening trays only at night or only during the daytime, Dental Restorative Group can offer you kits especially designed for different schedules.
Whichever version of Zoom you use, it is important that you carefully follow the guidelines our office provides. We invite you to get in touch at any point in the process to ask questions or to adjust treatments for your comfort.

The European Union has selected Paris as the new home for the European Banking Authority (EBA) after Britain leaves the union. EBA is currently based in London.
EBA evaluates risks in the EU banking industry through regular risk assessment reports and stress tests. Overall, eight cities, namely Paris, Brussels, Dublin, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Prague, Vienna, and Warsaw offered to host EBA.
Paris won the race after beating Dublin in the final round. Frankfurt, which is home to the European Central Bank, lost out in the earlier stage.
The French government welcomed the decision and said that it will allow for over 150 direct new jobs in Paris.
“The French state and the Ile-de-France region are now fully mobilised via the one-stop shop resource called “Choose Paris Region” to assist all EBA staff on a case-by-case basis to ensure that the implementation of this decision is as smooth as possible and that their relocation happens in the best possible conditions. The attractive setting that will be offered to the agency and its employees will strengthen the credibility and ensure continuity in the work of a key actor for the financial regulation and supervision of the European Union,” the French government noted. | 2019-04-24T17:06:31 | https://www.verdict.co.uk/private-banker-international/news/paris-host-european-banking-authority-post-brexit/ |
Did you know that the anniversary of the 1967 United States Supreme Court decision “Loving v. Virginia” — which struck down all anti-miscegenation laws remaining in sixteen U.S. states.
In honor of the national day of “being with the one you love, regardless of age, race, or gender”, take a look at some of our favorite unorthodox couples that actually worked out for the best.
No one does a blended family like the Simmons / Hounsou / Leissner clan.
Folks had a lot to say about Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs’ interracial love! But clearly, love concurs all.
People had their reservations about the difference in career status, race and age when it came to Nick and Mariah’s bond. But even after the divorce, their bond is closer than ever! And dem babies are beautiful!
Tamera has always been open about the struggles she’s faced being in an interracial relationship with husband Adam. But two beautiful kids and seven years of marriage later, love obviously won.
#GeorgeLucas and #MellodyHobson hit the purple carpet at the #BlackPanther premiere.
Interracial love has always been a taboo topic with older generations. But the Star Wars creator and his beautiful make it look so easy.
Their union was a little toxic at first (considering that Swizz was allegedly still married to Mashonda at the time). But alas — love won.
Robert DeNiro was always into chocolate sisters. I mean, he directed “Bronx Tale”!
Who knew that Hellboy was into sistas? Beautiful couple.
Not many knew that the neo soul queen had a White bae. But 15 years of marriage later proves that love always wins. | 2019-04-19T05:54:09 | https://globalgrind.cassiuslife.com/playlist/national-loving-day-10-unusually-unorthodox-couples-who-became-relationship-goals/ |
Corundum is made of high quality bauxite which is calcined at high temperature. Its toughness is higher than that of silicon carbide. It can be used as wear-resisting material for highway pavement, airplane runway, wear-resistant rubber, industrial floor, for grinding, polishing and sandblasting. Brown fused alumina is the indispensable raw materials for making grinding wheels, whetstone, emery cloth, etc. The development of brown fused aluminum oxide refractory materials promote the adjustment of varieties of refractories. A growing number of new refractories have been developed, and now brown corundum used for refractory has reached more than 60%, brown fused alumina played a very important role in refractory industry.
Manufacture advanced refractory products. The brown corundum can be used for making Al2O3 - SiO2 refractory products. The product is made from high alumina bauxite and added with a certain amount of corundum 1550 ~ 1600 ℃. Products with high-load softening point, low-temperature creep rate.
Brown fused alumina powder can be used for preparing mulite - high silica glass material. The preparation method of the mullite-high silica glass material is that the brown corundum mine is crushed and beneficiated to obtain the brown corundum concentrate powder, and then the ultrafine grinding is made into a micron-sized powder (abbreviated as micropowder) The brown fsued alumina powder is mixed with the binder, pressed and molded and then fired at 1,150 to 1,300 C to obtain a mullite-high silica glass material, which may be a straightforward product (such as refractory bricks, porcelain kiln ware and chinaware Devices, etc.), can also be used as clinker.
Brown Fused Alumina can be used to make a kind of low thermal conductivity parameters, high-temperature furnace lining high-quality refractory materials. It is characterized by the use of mullite as the main crystal phase and the calcium feldspar as the conclusion phase. The important chemical components are Al2O3 54.0 ~ 57.0wt.%, SiO2 40.0 ~ 43.0 Wt.% Of CaO, 1.0 to 2.0 wt.% Of CaO, 0.1 to 1.0 wt.% Of Fe2O3, and 0.1 to 0.7 wt.% Of other impurities, all of which have an accuracy of 0.088 mm or less.The material maintains the low thermal conductivity and low bulk density of the calcium feldspar lightweight refractory bricks, and also makes the intensity and temperature of the refractory bricks remarkably transferable. The refractory lining of the aluminosilicate refractory fiber can be used instead of carcinogenic. | 2019-04-19T22:57:58 | http://m.yn-abrasive.com/news/brown-fused-alumina-in-refractory-materials-10530416.html |

The Pacific Ocean is the biggest ocean on Earth, with an area of 63.8 million square miles. It is also bigger than all the land on the planet put together. It borders four continents: North America, South America, Australia, and Asia. The ocean is split into two parts that are divided by the equator. The two parts are the North Pacific Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean. The deepest part of the ocean and the whole world is the Mariana Trench, and it is 35,797 feet deep.
In the early 16th century, Europeans were the first to see the Pacific Ocean. Vasco Núñez de Balboa was a Spanish explorer that named the sea Mar Del Sur in 1513. But, the Pacific Ocean name came from Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer who went on a world expedition in 1521. He named it Mar Pacifico in Portuguese, which means peaceful sea. The width of the ocean was accurately measured in 1768 by Pierre-Antoine Véron.
The Pacific Ocean separates North America and South America from Australia and Asia. It spreads from the Arctic area in the north to the Antarctic in the south. It stretches to 12,300 miles wide from Colombia to Indonesia, which is halfway across the planet. This number is over five times the width of the moon.
Every year, the Pacific Ocean shrinks approximately one inch on three sides. This is because of tectonic plates underneath the surface of the Earth. The Pacific Ocean experiences many tropical storms every year, and many areas around the ocean have earthquakes and volcanoes. The Pacific Ring of Fire is the world’s biggest chain of volcanoes, with a total of 452 volcanoes.
Many seas sit along the western part of the Pacific Ocean, like the Sulu Sea, Celebes Sea, East China Sea, South China Sea, and Yellow Sea. The Pacific Ocean is connected to the Arctic Ocean by the Bering Strait. The Strait of Magellan and Drake Passage join the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean. And the Strait of Malacca joins the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean together.
About 50.1 percent of the ocean water on Earth is in the Pacific Ocean, measuring about 680 million cubic miles of water. The temperature of the water is very cold in some areas around 29.5 °F and then very warm at about 86 °F by the equator. It is most salty in the southeastern parts and the least salty in the far north.
The Pacific Ocean is used for many things to make money for countries. In the shallow areas around Australia and New Zealand, natural gas and petroleum are pulled out. Pearls are collected on the coasts of the Philippines, Panama, Australia, Japan, Nicaragua, and New Guinea.
Fishing is a common activity in many areas of the Pacific Ocean. The shallow water has a lot more fish, including shellfish, salmon, herring, and swordfish. Over-fishing is a big problem in some places in the ocean.
The pacific ocean is really amazing. I learned a lot from this article and this will help me in my finals. Thank you! | 2019-04-26T08:12:55 | https://www.whatarethe7continents.com/pacific-ocean/ |
An excellent impression of Puss in Boots from Shrek.

Look at his teeny, tiny eyes!
We would do literally ANYTHING for an actual miniature doggy hamster.
This kitty's been through a lot.
This dog suits a range of styles, from cool, tash-sporting hipster to the pointy headed, wide face look.
What a truly beautiful hamster.
This is one sick chihuahua.
Unicorn or piggy, this hamster looks the cutest.

Macrogol 3350 is a clinically proven treatment for constipation that is well tolerated in both adults and children. 1,2,3 Overall macrogol laxatives are more effective than lactulose in adults and are generally better tolerated.1 Most studies are of short duration, but evidence includes trials that have evaluated the use of macrogol laxatives for up to 12 months.
The use of macrogol laxatives in adults is considered a first step after bulking-forming agents (e.g. psyllium).
Macrogol laxatives are considered first line in children if simple lifestyle measures don't help.

Take a few moments and watch Mike’s conversation on the Rick Amato Show!
LabMD processes medical specimens. One day, a security services company emailed them advising that its patented searching software, which looks for problems caused by peer-to-peer applications, found a file with sensitive information.
The security company offered its services at $475 an hour in what was interpreted as a shakedown. LabMD refused to play and refused to pay, choosing to mitigate the problem themselves.
The security company turned over its finding to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) leading to a multi-year, resource-draining battle by LabMD to try prove that they did nothing wrong.
Security Current’s Vic Wheatman spoke with LabMD’s CEO Mike Daugherty, author of The Devil Inside the Beltway: The Shocking Expose of the US Government’s Surveillance and Overreach into Cybersecurity, Medicine and Small Business. Daugherty talks about taking on a government bureaucracy over matters of principle.
Also, read Security Current’s Richard Stiennon’s review of Daugherty’s book.

When a file arrives at the emulator its hash is compared with a list of hash in the emulator.
If it is a file that is not yet known its hash is stored to check it with the hashes of future files.
Is the file also stored to send a clean file to the client faster?
For how long time the file is stored on the emulator?
Hi. The file itself is not stored in the cache. Just the hash. And how long the hash is stored.... dunno. Believe you can modify the number of file hashes to save in local cache, if I don't remember wrong.
I'm looking this book: CP_R77_ThreatPrevention_AdminGuide.pdf.
This database helps to optimize emulation and give better network performance.
Please, I need to understand "optimize emulation and give better network performance".
When one file is extracted: I suppose that if one file was previously emulated and extracted is not necessary to emulate and extract this file again.
But if is not necessary emulate this file again, I suppose that the this file (after extraction) was store when it was emulated.
So, is ready to send to user when the Sandblast receive its hash again.
Is it correct or I lost something?
Or the "optimization" is valid only for the files that is not necessary to emulate again because are "clean" without extraction?
That means, if a file hash is already stored in the cache, when a file with the same hash arrives in an email attachment or to be downloaded from web, there is no need to send it to the te for full Emulation again.
This reduces network traffic to a local sandblast appliance or checkpoint cloud. And if it has not to be emulated again, emulation is optimized.
Not the file itself, just the file hash.
The gateway detects a file, calculates the hash and compares it with ist file hash cache. If it's a known hash, the file is passed or dropped according to the last scan/emulation result. The sandblast will not be involved again.
"Sandblast" may be located on the gateway itself (emulate locally), in the cloud or on a local, separate device.
Not just the clean ones. When a file "arrives" at the Gateways which has a hash which is stored in the cache and already being classified as malicious, it will be immediately be dropped, i assume.
I'm looking in the Threat Extraction configuration.
"Delete stored original files older than ..."
Which kind of file are considered in this option?
Suspicious / malicious files are stored in quarantine area on the sandblast appliance for further examination. For instance to check if there are false positives.
I suppose that the default time to live that files are stored in the cache is 7 days.
But in the previously image that I attached before I can see default value is 14 days.
--> "Delete stored original files older than ..."
Are these different kind of files?
Is there only one cache for all the VM images or one cache for all VM image?
And I assume there is one cache independent of VM.
There is a confusion between Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction here.
You can also manipulate the cache via some # tecli cache .... commands.
This cache is queried each time a new file arrives. If the SHA1 is found in the cache the related verdict and actions will be immediately taken without re-remulating the file (this improves performance and throughput). You can check the cache hit rate via # tecli show statistics.
Thanks for answer, now is clear! | 2019-04-20T14:39:10 | https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/SandBlast-Network/Files-on-Threat-Emulation/td-p/29821 |
When the door to the spirit world first opens it can be very exciting. Suddenly you are able to gain access into a dimension that is far greater and far more magical than things that we are used to seeing on earth.
Everyone can access the spirit world, but often access doesn’t come until you are truly willing and ready for the experience.
Sometimes however, spirits may come to us without a formal invitation, such as a loved one who has crossed over or through a particular space such as in your home.
Often when a spirit visits us in this way, it is because they have a message of some kind or want to show us something important.
Entering into the spirit world is definitely entering into the unknown, so it is important that anyone looking to connect has a toolbox of protection.
If you are encountering spirit energy and want to find out more, or if you want to invite a particular spirit into your space, such as a loved one who has crossed over, here is the safest way to go about it.
Note: Connecting with the spirit world is never 100% safe! So make sure you are always exercising caution and following your instincts.
This is the most important part to any connection with spirit. Before opening the door to communication it is important to protect your energy and your space. The best way to do this is to spend some time meditating and charging up your energy. You can do this by imagining a beautiful white light surrounding your entire being.
You can also call on your spirit guides and angels to protect you or use protective crystals such as amethyst.
If you are wishing to invite a loved one or receive information from a spirit it is important that you create a sacred space first. This sacred space should feel safe and be clear from clutter or distractions.
You can also fill your sacred space with crystals, plants, herbs, candles and other things that make you feel good. Having a pen and paper may also be handy if you want to be able to write things down.
Once in your sacred space, set your intention for communication. Get clear about the experience that you want to have and be sure to set boundaries and state your intention firmly.
If you are uncertain whether the spirit you wish to connect with may be harmful or not, you can call upon your spirit guides to act as a “gatekeeper” between the two of you. This is a good option if you are dealing with any unknown spirits in your house or if you are a first-timer when it comes to connecting.
Just remember, when dealing with unknown spirits, it is best to feel out the energy first. If you pick up on any negative vibes or are uncertain, it is best to leave it to an expert or simply focus on cleansing your home.
Being scared or fearful is also not a great frame of mind to be in if you want to effectively communicate with spirits, so if you are feeling these things it is best to stop until you can enter into this with a clear mind.
After setting your intention, start talking to the spirit as if it were already there. Ask it any questions that you wish and wait to see if you hear an answer.
Answers from the spirit world can vary, but you may feel bodily sensations, tingles, see synchronistic signs, sparks of light or hear audible messages. Stay open to the connection and perhaps even write down any experiences that you see or feel.
Tools to help you receive messages from spirit include automatic writing, pendulums and ouija boards.
Pendulums are a great tool for beginners and are far less intimidating than automatic writing or ouija boards.
When it comes to ouija boards I would personally not recommend them unless you are an absolute seasoned expert and have dealt with the spirit world many times before.
During this process it is important to know that you may not get your answer right away. Be patient and gentle and know that you will hear your answers when you are meant to.
It also helps to keep an open mind, often we hear or receive the answers but fail to realise them because it is not as we expected.
Once you have finished with your questions, you should close your “session” by announcing that you are done. You may even wish to send off your spirit by saying goodbye and thanking them for their messages.
You then will want to cleanse your space and aura with sage, bells, crystals or incense. This is very important and is definitely not a step to be missed.
As you cleanse your space you may even want to recite a mantra or affirmation such as- “I cleanse and protect this space with light and love, only light and love may dwell here”.
Even if you didn’t make a connection, it is important that you still do this process and close the session properly.
Learning how to communicate with spirit can be very enlightening. As long as you take steps of protection and don’t rush ahead before you are ready, there is no reason why you can’t experience the benefits of reaching out to the other side.
Just be mindful to always remember to protect yourself and give gratitude and thanks to all spirits that you encounter. | 2019-04-19T00:33:07 | https://foreverconscious.com/communicate-spirits-safely |

"How much will you pay for an extra day?"
"For my days are as many as smiles."
For I've plenty of days of my own."
When the wild and crazy of children stills and I await distant FaceTime calls, I know I'll be telling anyone who will listen that I would give, "All of the pearls in all of the seas, And all of the stars in the sky" to have it all back: tiny arms squeezing my neck, middle of the night whimpering from babes wanting my bed, and the constant tugging on my legs while shouting, "Mama, come pway and dance wid me!" | 2019-04-24T04:37:06 | https://christinajudd.com/your-stories/2016/11/28/the-clock-man |
My Eggleton ancestry can be traced back to around the year 1684 and a place called Bawdeswell in Norfolk. Bawdeswell lies about mid way between Norwich and Fakenham in the north of the county. After that the Eggleton family can be found in Stibbard, Fakenham and South Creake. They them emigrated to the Damascus township of Wayne County, Pennsylvanian in August 1871.
I have been researching this family for some time now and would welcome contact from fellow researchers to compare notes and make my research more complete. If you have an interest in this family and would like to compare research please do get in touch.
They emigrated with their children Honor, Ann, John, Mary Jane, Prudence, James and Hagai. They settled somewhere around Lookout in Wayne County or possibly Tanner Falls. Please see my specific Wayne Co. page for further information on the US side.
As far as I am aware to this date the family were never to return to Norfolk. Lydia and Robert lie buried in Wayne Co. and various other headstones of the families of descendants can be found in the area including that of the Mawdsley (Maudsley) family.
So really that only leaves me and how the Eaglesons came about in Ireland?. That's not something I am going to publish on a web site but is something I am willing to discuss privately. That being said you would need to be a family member with a genuine reason for wanting to know.
My grandfather, William Robert Eagleson, and his younger brother, John James Eagleson, grew up in Belfast. I vaguely remember my grandfather but to my knowledge never met his brother John. I was lucky enough to meet Sarah (Sadie) Eagleson who was a daughter of John James Eagleson back around the late 90's and spent part of an afternoon with her.
John James grew up around Fox Street in the lower Newtownards Road area and I believe was a driller in the Belfast shipyard. My grandfather and his brother did not seem to be very close but from youth they grew up in the hard environment of Belfast and lived their own lives on different sides of the City.
John James Eagleson married Ellen Allen and they had 7 children to the best of my knowledge with maybe 6 surviving into adulthood. Although I have never met anyone on that side of the family I remain hopeful of that link being made with someone else with the genealogy bug.
From what I have learnt of the family of John James Eagleson there would now appear to be family connections in Canada and possibly South Africa. You can see how easily a name can spread from the small Belfast beginnings. | 2019-04-25T01:52:35 | http://vyger.co.uk/eggleton-eagleson/norfolk-to-ireland/ |
IE9 public beta is here, and I’ve had the fair fortune to be recruited by The Friends of Mighty to showcase its support for the Web Open Font Format (WOFF).
A while back, Jason Santa Maria called to see if I’d be interested in joining him on a team with Frank Chimero & Naz Hamid. After confirming my participation, as well as the fact that this wasn’t a practical joke, I learned that our mission was to create 3 web poster sites that showcase WOFF and how well IE9 supports it. After a couple of team Skype meetings we decided to follow a Lost World’s Fairs theme, which was an appropriate match for the adventurous nature of the project as well as the team. My primary role being CSS & HTML code-out, I knew I had to start by doing two things: bring Dave Rupert in for additional dev support, and learn all I could about IE9.
Not only were many of the CSS3 staples supported, but when compared to Webkit & Mozilla engines, IE9 actually out-performed in a few cases. For example, a border-radius & box-shadow combo actually looks better in IE9. Eventually, I’d like to one day see text-shadow, CSS transforms and maybe even animations supported to the same high standard as the modules for backgrounds, borders, color and fonts.
Early on we realized that because these poster-style layouts were going to be tuned to the letter, we’d need to find a way to match that attention to detail while keeping the markup manageable & agile. This problem of avoiding heavy markup facilitated Dave’s creation of Lettering.js. Dave has provided an introductory write-up & GitHub download here. On projects like this, where large-format type is front and center, this jQuery plugin saved the day.
Dave and I were able to code-out different aspects of the site by setting up our own localhosts & working from the same folder we share via Dropbox. He’d position elements on the page in a structural CSS file while I’d finesse the lettering in a type CSS file until each page was pixel perfect. It took steady communication, but once we ironed out the kinks we were able to have the initial code finished for each of the 3 poster sites in 3 days.
The Hatch Show Print take on a 1924 fair in El Dorado by Naz was fueled by his interest in experimenting with rgba/hsla color and opacity. Because tweaking hue, saturation & lightness is so intuitive with hsla, we were able to adjust the tones for each individual letter, blending them into the textures and colors underneath. We used CSS-pseudo elements to double up on lettering, giving the poster an authentic, rough-around-the-edges look. During an impromptu screen-sharing design session, Naz and I used Jon Raasch’s Scrolling Parallax jQuery plugin to finish the page by floating Zeppelins across the skyline.
Jason created a look ahead to 2040 with a Worlds’ Fair that considers the possibility of humans settling on the Earth’s Moon. The celestial interplay of the Earth and Moon on the page was achieved through percentage-based fixed positioning. The same was done for the poor unfortunate spaceman (if your browser window is wide enough to find him). The Worlds’ Fair logo was done with 100% CSS, using border radius to create both the containing circle and the top-right orbital sphere.
My design contribution to the Lost World’s Fairs was the landing page. I thought a colorful, travel poster inspired approach would serve as a great introduction for each fair. My type lineup consists of League Gothic for all the heading fonts, FF Market Web for the script and my favorite serif, FF Meta Serif Web Pro for the body text. It was extremely humbling to be trusted to take on this leg of the project, and I had a great time doing it.
Praise be to Nishant Kothary and the MIX Online team at Microsoft for giving us complete freedom to create and for getting behind the vision. Congratulations on the new browser and the huge leap forward.
The only downside to our project (dubbed internally as Operation Condor) is that we’re finished. Being able to team up with such talented people as Jason, Frank, Naz and Dave, has been an honor and a privilege to say the least. I felt like Louis Tully, suiting up as a Ghostbuster and running around the streets of New York for the first time. “Stay fit. Keep sharp. Make good decisions.” It’s good to be a Friend Of Mighty. | 2019-04-19T21:07:11 | https://trentwalton.com/2010/09/15/lost-worlds-fairs/ |

My daughter first looked at me strangely when I mentioned to her that her “I feel fat” thoughts really weren’t about her body. I explained that fat is not a feeling; instead, when we think we feel fat, we’re usually distracting ourselves from something else that’s bothering us. For many of us, negative body image often has to do with feelings of insecurity — we’re worrying about how we’re falling short in some area.
To the rescue: Tips from one of my favorite e-letters — that from Annette Colby. She recommends we try the following tips when fears and self-doubt threaten to overwhelm us.
Recognize the fear and doubt within you. The first step to overcoming doubt is to be willing to face the situation. By being honest and admitting that you have doubts can you seek alternatives.
Understand that it is all right to have doubt. What matters most is that you love yourself enough to overcome your doubt by taking calculated risks.
Take out a piece of paper and write down a list of your fears. Explore your doubt, examine your fear, and look at the areas in your life where they get the upper hand.
Write a goodbye letter to your doubt, then bury it, burn it, or release it in some other creative way.
When your doubt pops up, go to the mirror and talk to yourself. Positive talk isn’t the entire answer, but without we haven’t got a chance of success. People are more successful when they talk to themselves in a reassuring, compassionate, and loving way.
Keep reminding yourself that you are valuable, that you have worth, and that your life matters.
Take positive action in the direction of your dreams. You can put doubt in it’s place when you take action on the activities and goals that are most important to you.
Imagine the best possible outcome. Practice allowing yourself to envision yourself being the person you want to be.
Take some action every day that allows you to feel better about yourself.
No matter what self-doubt is blocking our way to — whether it be successful weight loss or going after our dream job — these tips can help us move forward. The bottom line is believing in ourselves because our minds are the most powerful tool we have to help us achieve our dreams.
funny that for me the WHATS THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN really works!

A few the signs you as of now watched will be shade and the estimation of one’s calf veins. Ordinarily, this is a more prominent overpowering darkish vein that thumps out of the knee. These veins provoke swelling of your skin. You have to attempt and be vigilant since this could trigger open wounds while hurting.

The summer of 2016 is passing and with that, this time marks around the 3 year mark that my fashion blog, Fashion Nexus, has been up and running!! Wow! Three years has sure gone by quite fast. Below, check out how Fashion Nexus all came about.
The desire to create my blog began while I was enrolled in a law school course, Fashion Law IP Jobtrack. I began writing articles pertaining to legal issues in fashion. I sought out collaborations with other fashion publications with regard to my fashion law writing. I then began writing articles on general fashion topics. At the start of summer, in 2013, I decided to do more with writing, networking, researching, learning, etc. within the fashion industry. Thus, I decided to create my own fashion blog, where I can write about any fashion topic I want.
It was so hard picking a name! I wanted a name that encompassed both a passion for fashion in general, but also my legal studies and background. I came up with Fashion Nexus really from the get go, but thought, it couldn’t be that easy. And so I kept brainstorming. This all proved pointless/fruitless because nothing else seemed fitting. “Nexus” isn’t a legal term, but it does mean a connection or a link. I thought it best encapsulated the connection of the various topics I want to discuss for my blog.
Fashion Feature-I will select special topics I find within the fashion world to discuss. This could really be a range of topics.
This blog is really just something fun for me to do, but that I truly hope to learn from as well. I look forward to reaching as many people as I can through my blog! | 2019-04-21T07:04:13 | http://fashionnexus.net/about-contact-2/fashion-nexus/ |

4. The HTC Evo V is ergonomically designed. It is sized just right for the adult hand so that you can maintain your hand in a neutral position. This will help to reduce cramping over longer periods of time. The phone is well designed to be held in both the vertical and horizontal positions, thanks to the flat design and ample width which make it easy to hold.

The HTC Evo V is what we want to see in all handheld devices, ergonomics with coatings to prevent slip so we dont drop our Androids. Add-on guards often block the screen or camera, but when its designed right in, the silicon coating is the best way to make the phone more comfortable and slip resistant.
Congratulations to Marc L. who wins his very own HTC Evo V. | 2019-04-20T19:08:19 | http://www.successthroughplay.com/site/giveaway-virgin-mobile-htc-evo-v/ |

Known as Moll’s “Sasquesahanok Indian Fort” map after the image in the upper left, the map’s title indicates its design, to refute Guillaume Delisle’s “Carte de la Louisiane” map (1718) that showed circumscribed English land claims along the Atlantic coast. Moll warned “those Noblemen, Gentlemen, Merchants &c., who are interested in our Plantations,” of the French “incroachements.” And he urged that good relations be maintained with the old English Allies, the “Charakeys” and Iroquois. Moll included the number of Cherokee villages in several locations to indicate their military strength. Moll’s information about the Southeast was garnered from first hand observers. He was aware of Sir Robert Montgomery’s 1718 plan to create the Margravate of Azilia. Moll probably advocated the proposal because it promised to fortify the southern border of the English empire.
Moll’s social life revolved around Jonathan’s coffee house in London, where he exchanged ideas with literary figures such as Jonathan Swift and Daniel Defoe and intellectual pirates like William Dampier. His involvement in that circle also led to his producing maps that encouraged investment in the South Sea Company that burst in a bubble just as this map appeared.

Giving feedback can be difficult and emotionally-charged. But by following a simple model focused on facts and behaviors you’ll be giving more effective feedback more easily than you’ve given it before.
If we want people to change behaviors and improve their performance, we have to give them feedback. Giving feedback can be really difficult because we think to ourselves “Maybe I might hurt their feelings…” or “I have to have an uncomfortable conversation…”, or “I’m telling somebody who I really like and respect that they’re falling short in some regard…” So, we avoid feedback, but that’s a huge mistake especially as the leader of a high performing team.
There’s a simple process you can follow to take the sting and nausea out of giving feedback. I’d like to offer a feedback model that can remove the emotion from those conversations and help people focus on improving performance versus getting defensive.
– First, you’ll ask for permission to give somebody feedback and ensure, at that moment, that they’re open to receiving it. Their head may not be in it. They may have come out of a tough meeting, or they’re in a rush to go to their next meeting. Making sure they’re ready to receive feedback is critical.
– Next, the feedback recipient should let you know that they are open to receiving feedback.
– The next step really matters a lot in terms of removing the emotion from the feedback process. You’re going to offer a fact-based observation of something you saw the feedback recipient do and then confirm that they know the event happened. This step ensures you’re both operating from a common base of facts.
– The feedback recipient should then confirm to you that they recall the event.
– Now that you’re operating from a common set of facts, you can get into the emotional impacts of the event. You need to tell the feedback recipient “This is how your actions/words made me feel.” You might say “This is how that event impacted me…” or “This is how that event impacted somebody else on the team…” And then ask the feedback recipient “Can you see why your behavior impacted me that way?” Hopefully, they can then understand why you felt that way by putting themselves in your shoes.
– The next step of the feedback process is the request for change. Let them know specifically what behavior you want them to demonstrate going forward and ask them for their commitment to that behavior.
– The feedback recipient should hopefully commit to making that behavioral change.
– After getting their commitment to change, thank the feedback recipient for being open to feedback and for committing to the change. Ideally you can even offer them help in making the requested changes. Ask if there are things you can be doing differently to support them. Your assistance will reinforce their commitment to change and help them make the changes requested.
Allow me to offer an example of what giving feedback might look like when using this model.
Let’s imagine I have a member of my team who shows up late for my meetings on a regular basis. I may pull that person aside and say “Hey, would it be okay if I gave you some feedback right now? There’s something I’d like to share with you.
I then offer that fact-based observation. “What I’ve noticed is, for all of our staff meetings this week, you’ve been between five and ten minutes late for each one of them. Do you recognize that you’ve been late to the meetings? Do you remember that you were late to those few staff meetings this week?” When I offer these facts, I’m seeing if they recall the events and ensuring we’re operating from the same set of facts.
Then I let them know the way their behavior makes me feel. “Well, the way it makes me feel is, I’m setting up these staff meetings so we can all coordinate. It’s very frustrating for me because we have to recap things after you come in the room. Candidly, it makes me feel like you don’t really respect my time, and it makes me feel like I’m less important than other things you have going on. Do you understand why I feel that way and why I get frustrated when you come in late?” When I say this I’m helping them see things from my perspective.
Then I let them know what the requested behavioral change is. “What I’d like is if you could schedule a little bit of slack time between your meetings or maybe not set meetings back-to-back. If you could commit to being on time for these staff meetings, I would really appreciate it. Are you willing to commit to that?” I’ve made a specific request for behavioral change and even offered suggested solutions.
I then need to thank them for receiving the feedback. “Thanks a lot for listening. I really appreciate you being open to the feedback. If there are things I can do to make it easier for you to be on time, please let me know what they are. Maybe I need to choose a different time for the staff meetings. If there’s anything I can do that will make it easier for you, I’m happy to do that.” I’ve offered them assistance to help them be successful in making the changes I’m asking for.
As I take the recipient through this feedback model, I’ve removed a lot of the emotion from the conversation. I’ve helped them focus on a specific behavior and a defined change. I’ve delivered this message in a non-threatening and non-judgmental way. As you think about providing feedback to your people, I encourage you to follow this feedback model and see how it goes.

We worked with the Home Office to trial an alternative place of safety in one of our supported housing schemes in Sussex. It was the first time a voluntary sector provider had worked in partnership with the NHS and police to offer this type of service.
And now an independent evaluation of the scheme has concluded that it’s an effective model that could be used more widely across the country. The report recommended that NHS commissioners actively seek to work with third sector organisations to support people detained as an alternative to police custody.
A reason Richmond Fellowship was selected for the pilot was because of the individually tailored support we could provide to people. This included emotional support, social care support, and signposting to other agencies, self-care promotion and basic therapeutic techniques.
These are not currently provided in custody suites or health based places of safety but the independent evaluation concluded that these sorts of approaches work and should be made available.
“We’re really pleased at the success of the pilot which demonstrates that the voluntary sector can be an effective partner when it comes to providing alternative places of safety to a police cell or hospital.
Under the pilot scheme Richmond Fellowship provided a secure room that individuals could be brought to by the police or ambulance service. Our ethos was to provide a safe environment but one that was more homely than a clinical setting or police cell.
Our experienced recovery workers provided round the clock support until the individual was assessed, transferred to a health-based place of safety or had other suitable arrangements made for their ongoing care or treatment.
More than half the individuals brought to us had been detained because they’d expressed intentions to commit suicide or self-harm as well as alcohol or substance misuse issues.
However, none of them went on to require a hospital admission and all were discharged home with ongoing GP or community mental health support as required. | 2019-04-25T22:22:56 | https://www.richmondfellowship.org.uk/richmond-fellowship-proves-the-voluntary-sector-can-provide-effective-alternative-place-of-safety-for-people-in-mental-health-crisis/ |

Laney Nelson is the owner and principal stager of East Bay Staging. As an accredited staging professional, she, along with her team, has the expertise needed to provide the high-end staging and decorating services your home needs to sell quickly and profitably.
After 30 years in the corporate world, I decided to devote my time and effort to more artistic pursuits—art, glass, and design. In fact, East Bay Staging was born from this creative instinct.
Over the course of a decade, I moved 13 times and singlehandedly staged each home. In every situation, my home sold in less than 30 days, and my new home was "staged for living" within five days. That’s when my journey began.
Upon leaving the corporate world, I became a Certified Interior Decorator (CID) and researched training programs that would help me jumpstart my new career. I ultimately selected the leader in home staging—stagedhomes.com. I earned my basic Accredited Staging Professional (ASP®) designation, then went on to complete additional training that focused on specific market needs—Real Estate Owned Specialist (ASP-REO®), Senior Relocation Specialist (ASP-SRS®) and, most recently, (ASP-BTS®) Buyer Trend Specialist. This additional training helps me to target specific market needs. I am also a member of the International Association of Home Staging Professionals® which adheres to a strict code of Ethics and Professionalism.
My interior decorating and staging training provide me with the skills necessary for proper space planning. My art background gives me an edge over the competition when it comes to selecting colors. My corporate executive experience ensures that all projects are planned, organized, and executed quickly and professionally.
When I'm not staging, you can find me in my art studio, paintbrush in hand, working on a watercolor or mixed media piece. If I'm not there, I'm in my glass studio cutting up some glass or firing up my kiln to create a one-of-a-kind glass piece. In fact, we use many of the pieces I create in the homes we stage! | 2019-04-20T11:36:52 | https://www.eastbaystaging.com/about/ |

Rare, endemic, and unusual are all pretty special words to the twitchers or birdwatchers of the world. In the Kingdom of Tonga, millennia of isolation and many untouched remote islands conspire to make it one of the South Pacific’s best locations to observe unique avian species in the wild. On the tiny island of Maninita in the northern Vava’u group, vast numbers of sea birds nest, their survival boosted by the excellent work of local enthusiasts in ridding the ancient forested atoll of destructive vermin. Maninita is now one of the South Pacific’s most important sea bird breeding environments, and its birdlife remains easy to view and unaffected by human influences.
On land, the forests and rivers are home to some species of birds and frogs unique to the Solomons.
Papua New Guinea is a bird watchers paradise! There are many locations throughout PNG where you can see the beautiful species of birds in Papua New Guinea, including the different species of the famous Birds of Paradise – found only in PNG. The variety of locations available in Papua New Guinea provides endless opportunity for birdwatchers. It is understood that PNG is home to such a thriving bird population due to specific habitats and climates favoured by our endemic species and the lack of predatory animals that would otherwise threaten numbers. | 2019-04-25T22:32:52 | https://consumer.southpacificislands.travel/category/activities/bird-watching/ |
This policy outlines a Conflict of Interest (COI) policy for ACM Publications. It describes what a COI is, who is responsible for being aware of such conflicts, how to manage COIs, and how to report violations.
Conflicts of Interest in publication are to be avoided because they raise questions about the quality, impartiality, and accuracy of published items, even when the parties involved believe they have been fair and impartial. Sometimes, a conflict will lead to an unconscious bias that can influence decisions, even if the parties involved believed they are objective. Thus, a credible COI policy cannot rely solely on individuals to make their own COI self-determinations.
This document provides specific guidelines for common instances with the goal of assisting in the process of identifying and resolving potential Conflicts of Interest. It also describes how the policy can be augmented, and how exceptions may be approved.
It is in the interest of all professionals — especially ACM members — to uphold the highest standards of professional, ethical behavior. Thus, this Policy is directly related to the ACM Code of Ethics. Violations of this policy will be referred to one or both of the ACM Publications Board (via the Committee on Ethics and Plagiarism) and the ACM Committee on Professional Ethics (COPE).
This policy should be explicitly referenced in any call for papers or guide for submissions for those venues. For example, a call for papers could state, "Authors and reviewers will be asked to indicate their understanding and acceptance of the ACM Policy on Conflict of Interest in Publication when items are submitted and reviewed."
A COI occurs when a person’s objective judgment is — or is perceived by a reasonable observer to be — compromised by an existing relationship, affiliation, or connection to a person whose work they must evaluate.
The following are considered to be specific exemplars of relationships that produce COIs. Individuals in such relationships should not be involved in peer review of, or making editorial decisions about, ACM published materials provided by the related parties.
Personal or family relationships that would reasonably cause others to doubt impartiality.
All content evaluators, direct and indirect, bear primary responsibility for identifying and disclosing potential COIs in reviews; all content creators also bear responsibility for providing complete and honest information about COIs wherever requested.
Possible conflicts should be reported to the individual in charge of the venue involved (e.g., editor or program chair). In the case that the individual in charge is also conflicted, then conflicts can be reported to a predesignated alternate or to the ACM Director of Publications. A best practice would be for there to be one or more predesignated alternates identified and publicized in advance of any potential need for reporting.
If a potential conflict of interest is identified, the party or parties should note this, and then recuse themselves from any further deliberation or decision-making.
In cases where COIs are unavoidable (for example, in specialized communities with small reviewing pools), those conflicts should be fully disclosed to cognizant personnel (e.g., to editors, PC chairs, the Director of ACM Publications) who are in a position to advise, remediate, or mitigate any conflict. A COI can be managed in this way so long as the conflicted person is not directly responsible for decisions in the peer review process.
Double-blind reviewing may help to reduce — but not eliminate — COIs. Editors and program chairs may consider this as a practice but should also be aware it may raise other problems related to COIs.
In all cases of identified COIs, it is best practice for the alternate decision-maker to "blind" any conflicted parties (e.g., reviewers, editors) as to who has assumed their roles. If the conflicted party is in a lead decision-making role (e.g., EiC, PC chair), s/he should designate an appropriate colleague (e.g., Associate Editor, co-chair) to appoint another person to the decision-making role. Using this process, the third person remains anonymous from all conflicted parties, when feasible.
Senior reviewer (for example EiC, Program Chair) determines if there is a valid conflict and if so, reassigns any reviewer found to have a COI or who reports a potential COI. If the COI is alleged for the Editor or PC chair, the decision is delegated to an appropriate alternate, as per the above. Evaluation proceeds as usual.
Senior Reviewer (for example EiC, Program Chair) determines if reviews by conflicted reviewers influenced publication decision and may reopen the evaluation or remove the item from publication. If the COI is alleged for the Editor or PC chair, the decision is delegated to an appropriate alternate.
The matter should be reported for investigation (see below). After investigation, a determination that a COI existed for an item that has been published may result in the item being retracted or removed from the ACM Digital Library and replaced with a posted notation that a violation of COI policy was the reason.
In each of these cases, the outcome of the determination will be reported to the parties identifying the potential COI.
Knowingly and falsely asserting a COI — e.g., to prevent or alter peer reviewing, to discourage appropriate editorial oversight, or to seek disadvantage of another — is a violation of the ACM Code of Ethics and this policy.
Knowingly hiding or falsifying a stated COI is a violation of the ACM Code of Ethics and this policy.
Any violation of this policy should be reported (see below) for investigation by the Publications Board Ethics and Plagiarism Committee. A referral to the ACM Committee on Professional Ethics (COPE) may also be made.
Alternate COI policies that differ from this one must be submitted to the ACM Director of Publications along with a detailed rationale. Requests will be reviewed, and if approved they must be published in advance of any application of that revised policy. Approved deviations can be applied at the SIG or conference level.
For example, a conference may seek a more restrictive COI policy by including as a COI cross-reviewing (reviewing or supervising reviews on an item for which the reviewer has a submission in the same venue on the same general topics), or increase the 2-year exclusion to 5 years.
A less restrictive policy than this one will only be considered in special cases, backed by extraordinary reasons. The request must explicitly describe how resulting COIs will be remediated.
Decisions by the Director of Publication regarding COI variations may be appealed to the Publications Board Committee on Ethics and Plagiarism, whose majority decision is final.
See also the discussion under "Managing A Conflict of Interest" about unavoidable, single deviations from the above examples. | 2019-04-18T11:27:34 | https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/conflict-of-interest |

Total flow of waste serviced monthly amounts at present to ca. 15 000 Mg. This amount is still growing in connection with gaining new customers for service within the processes of recovery and utilization with extensive participation of the Blue Line department.
If you want us to present our references, during the meeting you will be provided with the intended documents confirming highest quality of Prodigo sp. z o.o. services.
If you are interested in our services, please contact the commercial department.
According to our understanding, Total Waste Management is most of all Customer management, consulting and optimization of the production process of the Customer. Prodigo specializes in total waste stream management, including staff service at the Customer’s in the scope of services as well as initial preparation of materials for transport, export of waste and its management using the company’s own processing lines.
Complexity means responsibility for waste, for the location of its processing, processing, management at an optimal price maintaining safety standards for the environment and the Customer.
Complexity also means assistance of the legal and environmental department of Prodigo provided within a so called Blue Line.
Our experienced staff open to new possibilities actively seeking new Customers, follows the principle that anything is possible and every situation can be an opportunity.
It is the youngest project in the Prodigo family. It was activated in 2016, it has a complete technological line for effective recasting of different types of aluminium waste. Prodigo recasts both chips as well as thin-walled waste. The installation working at the foundry was built by a renown Italian company MARCONI and its capacity is 15,000Mg/year.
Thanks to involvement and consistency, we can boast about manufacturing for the most demanding Customers from the Automotive and Household Appliance industries.
Production of alloys takes place in accordance with the following standards: European PN-EN 1676, DIN 1725 and PN-76/h-88027. We are also able to implement individual requirements of our Customers. Upon request we manufacture aluminium for steel deoxidation in accordance with the standard PN-71/H-82.
Production takes place under supervision of experienced foundry staff with many years of experience gained in companies which are leaders in production of aluminium alloys and die-casts as well as trading non-ferrous metals.
The Prodigo Group specializes in production of high-energy blends of alternative fuels for the cement industry. We execute long-term agreements, supplying cement plants with 7,000 Mg of fuels each month.
The alternative fuel production line is based on the technology of an Austrian company – Lindner – and it has the capacity to process more than 50 types of waste. Our main focus involves blends with the calorific value of more than 24 GJ/Mg and the chlorine content of ≤ 0.7%.
Despite a short period of time since activating the line, as it took place in June 2015, we worked hard to have the leading position on the Polish market of high-energy alternative fuels. All this results from particular mindfulness regarding product quality which is maintained thanks to our investment into laboratories equipped in the first-class measuring equipment as well as high competencies of staff working at Prodigo.
The laboratory provides services of testing materials and fuels. To order tests, please contact the office of the Company.
Prodigo has four lines for cleaning and preparation of materials for Customers. Our lines for granulation, polishing scrap, non-ferrous metals separation and drying of aluminium chips operate at our base in Mirosławice.
Prodigo products are characterized by high quality and repeatable physical and chemical properties. We dedicate approx. 80% of production to the needs of our aluminium foundry. We also provide services of cleaning materials and preparing them for the needs of Customers.
Recovery of precious metals and rare earth metals using pyrolysis.
All projects undertaken by the R&D department aim at meeting the real needs of Customers – both Polish Customers as well as our European partners. We plan to activate waste processing lines, which are currently undergoing laboratory tests and industrial tests, in the first quarter of 2017.
Enterprise reporting required by the provisions in the field of environmental protection (among others fees paid in exchange for the use of the environment, summary report on waste, etc.).
Keeping waste registers on behalf of the Customer. Representing the Customer during actions of controlling bodies. Ongoing consulting regarding all matters in the field of environmental protection.
Assistance of the Blue line is provided directly by a specialized legal and environmental unit of the Company. The possibility to take advantage of the Blue line program is offered free of charge to Customers which entered into agreements for waste management with Prodigo.
Technical Requirements for the Delivery of raw materials and scrap to the foundry of Prodigo Recykling sp. z o.o.
In Latin ‘Prodigo’ means ‘waste’. For us it is a source of potential – and in this spirit we develop the company and make business decisions.
The Prodigo Group consists of two entities: mother company – Prodigo sp. z o.o. and 100% subsidiary – Prodigo Recykling sp. z o.o. The basic activity of the Prodigo Group involves total industrial waste management. We are guided by the concept of Total Waste Management. The method of operation resulting from it is implemented by us successfully, as we provide services for leading global companies from various industries.
In recent years the PRODIGO Group has been developing dynamically in the field of waste processing. We activated: alternative fuel production plant, aluminium foundry, purification plant for ferrous and non-ferrous scrap. The Group is preparing further projects within the chemical industry and the industry of processing hazardous waste which are supported by the effective R&D department.
Prodigo is characterized by three values: Expansiveness, Mindfulness and Reliability. They are present in every action undertaken by the Company. We never cease our efforts to raise qualifications in all fields of our activities.
Dynamic development of the Group and a growing number of Customers make us very proud. With this pride we encourage you to take advantage of our services.

PALM COAST, Fla. – Houston climbed one spot on the leaderboard Monday and holds a one-shot lead in the team standings following the second day of competition at the 2017 American Women’s Golf Championship at the Conservatory Course at Hammock Beach Resort & Golf Club.
The third and final round of the championship will begin Tuesday at 8 a.m. ET. An awards ceremony and trophy presentation will take place shortly following the conclusion of the final round.
The American Digital Network (ADN) will have live coverage of the 18th hole during the final round of the championship beginning at 11 a.m. ET. Once competition is complete, the ADN will carry the awards ceremony, as well as player and coaches interviews.
The Cougars shot a second-round best 282 on Monday and currently lead the field with a 4-under 572 (290-282). Houston’s round of 282 is the lowest 18-hole total in American women’s golf championship history. UCF set the previous low of 284 on Sunday.
UCF is the runner-up and is one stroke behind the Cougars with a 573 (284-289), while SMU is in third with a 580 (290-290).
Houston’s Leonie Harm (66-70) continues to leads the field with an 8-under 136. Just one stroke separates the next four individuals as Ashley Cassidy (Cincinnati) and Ashley Holder (UCF) tied for second at 4-under 140, while Maria Balcazar (UCF) and Brigitte Dunne (SMU) come in at fourth with a 3-under 141. Cassidy and Holder shot identical scores of 69 and 71 in the first two rounds. East Carolina’s Siranon Shoomee shot the low round of the day on Monday with a 68.
Complete results, tee times and a recap from each day may be found at www.TheAmerican.org/wgolf and live results are available at www.golfstat.com.

Five new species of Dionysia are described (D. viva, D. zschummelii, D. crista-galli, D. zetterlundii and D. tacamahaca) from the Zagros mountains of W Iran. One subspecies (D. sarvestanica subsp. spatulata), one variety (D. gaubae var. macrantha) and two sections (D. sect. Zoroasteranthos and D. sect. Mucida) are also described as new. A revised classification of the genus is suggested and a complete list of species is provided, in which some emendations to previously published data are given. A dichotomous key to the species is presented.
A new subtribal classification of the Compositae-Anthemideae is presented based on phylogenetic reconstructions for sequence information of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) for 103 of the 111 accepted genera of the tribe. Results of the present analyses are compared with results from phylogenetic analyses based on cpDNA ndhF sequence variation and discussed in conjunction with morphological, anatomical, cytological, embryological and phytochemical evidence. As a result, 14 subtribes are circumscribed and described in detail, with information provided concerning the generic members and the geographical distribution of these entities. Four subtribes (i.e. Osmitopsidinae, Phymasperminae, Pentziinae and Leucanthemopsidinae) are described as new to science, for a further subtribe a new name (Glebionidinae, replacing the illegitimate Chrysantheminae) is validated.
KEYWORDS: Compositae, dandelions, Taraxacum sect. Erythrosperma, taxonomy, Taraxacum starmuehleri, Taraxacum edessicoides.
Two new species of Taraxacum from Istria and adjacent islands, in the northeastern part of the Mediterranean, are described as new and illustrated. Both belong to Taraxacum sect. Erythrosperma and have a chromosome number of 2n = 3x = 24. Their known distribution is presented.
Recognising Pilosella as a genus distinct from Hieracium is justified both from a phylogenetic point of view (a more broadly defined Hieracium, to be monophyletic, would have to include at least two further genera along with Pilosella: Andryala and Hispidella) and for practical considerations. In Hieracium, almost all taxa are apomicts that rarely hybridise, and whenever they do, give rise to new, stable apomictic lines that are customarily given taxonomic recognition as species or subspecies. In Pilosella hybridisation is frequent, gene flow between populations (however defined) is considerable, and the recognition of microtaxa as if they were apomictic lines is unpractical. The classification here proposed rests on a framework of twenty accepted “basic” species (some with subspecies) or species aggregates. Hybrid progenies in which 2-3(-4) of these species or aggregates are believed to have participated are treated as 122 “collective species”, one per known or postulated parental combination. Each of these comprises one recognised species, or sometimes more than one when an included morphotype is stable over a significant, coherent area, or when the offspring of a particular subspecies or microspecies combination deserves recognition. A synopsis of the proposed classification is presented, and required new names and combinations are validated.
Guenthera repanda (≡ Brassica repanda) was discovered on Mt Baldo (SE Prealps, Italy). Comparisons with the known subspecies confirmed that the Mt Baldo populations represents a new taxon, here described as subsp. baldensis. The new subspecies has the closest morphological affinities to subspecies of the eastern Iberian Peninsula and not to the three subspecies known from the Alps and NE Italy. Data on the local distribution and ecology of the new taxon are reported.
The present paper reports about the naturalization of the Mexican grass species Paspalum paucispicatum in the Loire valley in France. The species has long been confused with and erroneously referred to as P. dilatatum, P. distichum, P. longipilum or P. pubiflorum. A revision of several relevant herbaria enabled us to reconstruct the species' invasion history in France. Main diacritic features are given and an identification key for Paspalum in France is presented. P. paucispicatum, of a debated taxonomic rank in its area of origin but clearly delimited in France, is probably better treated as a subspecies of P. distichum; hence the new combination at subspecific level is validated.
Continuing a series of miscellaneous contributions, by various authors, where hitherto unpublished data relevant to the Med-Checklist project are presented, this instalment deals with the families Aizoaceae, Amaranthaceae, Compositae, Fagaceae, Labiatae, Rosaceae, Rutaceae, Saxifragaceae, Umbelliferae, Verbenaceae; and Gramineae. It includes new country and area records, taxonomic and distributional considerations. A new name in Quercus and a new combination in Aegilops are validated, and two new subspecies are described in Arrhenatherum.
Brachypodium glaucovirens is the correct name for B. firmifolium formerly regarded either as a Cyprus endemic or as a synonym of B. sylvaticum. The most important diagnostic features against B. sylvaticum are the erect racemes and finely prickled to shortly hairy longitudinal ribs on the adaxial leaf blade surface. Constancy of these characters was proven by cultivation in experimental plots (source plants from Cyprus and the S Aegean region). A key to the species and its relatives is provided. The names B. glaucovirens and B. firmifolium are lectotypified.
KEYWORDS: Montenegro, Mt Orjen, taxonomy, synecology, Iris pseudopallida, Iris reichenbachii.
Iris orjenii from Mt Orjen in Montenegro is described as a species new to science, it is illustrated and the chromosome number of 2n = 24 is given. The differences from the closely related I. pseudopallida and I. reichenbachii are pointed out and details on the synecology of the new species are provided.
New localities and records of major chorological significance are presented for 46 taxa rare or neglected in Greece, most of them of a Central European or Eurasian distribution, meeting their southernmost limits of occurrence in the northern part of the country. Hieracium brevifolium and Succisa pratensis are reconfirmed for the flora of Greece.
KEYWORDS: Allium sect. Allium, Anatolia, angiosperms, chorology, taxonomy, Teucrium sect. Teucrium.
Continuing a series of miscellaneous contributions on the taxonomy, nomenclature, site-ecology and chorology of vascular plants of Turkey, the second instalment deals with 15 taxa of the families Alliaceae, Apiaceae, Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Colchicaceae, Dipsacaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Lamiaceae, Papaveraceae and Ranunculaceae. Allium antalyense, Cephalaria gazipashensis subsp. pilifera and Teucrium pseudaroanium are described as new to science and illustrated. Allium (sect. Allium) antalyense belongs to the informal Sphaerocephalon group and is closely allied to A. reuterianum. It is an overlooked local endemic of the Western Taurus (Teke Dağı) and grows in the subalpine belt on limestone. Teucrium (sect. Teucrium) pseudaroanium was found in the Demre Çayı valley in the province of Antalya, where it inhabits limestone marble cliffs of the thermo-Mediterranean belt. It forms together with the Greek endemic T. aroanium and the SW Anatolian endemic T. alyssifolium a group of closely related species that are linked by reticulately distributed characters. Characters and ecological requirements of the members of this T. aroanium group are discussed; the taxonomically important trichome types are particularly considered and figured by SEM micrographs. Chamaesyce nutans, R. peltatus s.str. and Zuvanda exacoides are new records for the flora of Turkey. Three taxa are suggested to be sunk in synonymy, viz. Allium vuralii (in A. scabriflorum), Draba terekemensis (in D. imeretica) and Ranunculus kastamonuensis (in R. peltatus). The new combinations Chamaesyce forskalii and Colchicum figlalii are validated. New keys are provided for the genus Chamaesyce and the infraspecific taxa of Camelina hispida.
A distinctive new species, Ferulago glareosa, is described as a species new to science and illustrated from a localised area of Erzincan province. It differs from all other species in the genus on account of its scree-like habit, scarcely developed fibrous collar, slender stems, loose inflorescence, few-rayed umbels and the scarcely winged lateral ridges on the mericarps. Despite its anomalous facies in the genus, molecular evidence indicates affinities with Ferulago and there are no apparent reasons for not including it in this genus.
Verbascum lindae, a taxonomically isolated limestone chasmophyte from the vilayet of Isparta in SW Anatolia is described as a species new to science and illustrated. Its affinities with other Anatolian Verbascum species, which have either a chasmophytic habit or at least a woody base, are discussed.
Two species of Socotra Island and N Somalia, respectively, known as Prenanthes amabilis and P. somaliensis, are identified by molecular (ITS and matK) and morphological analyses as the closest relatives to Cichorium, hitherto considered an isolated genus of the tribe Cichorieae. To accommodate these two species, the new genus Erythroseris is established, the new combinations E. amabilis and E. somalensis are validated, and the basionym Tolpis somalensis is neotypified. Morphological differences and accordances between Cichorium and Erythroseris are discussed. It is concluded from the micromorphological results that the scaly pappus of Cichorium is homologous with the setaceous pappus as present in Erythroseris. A key to the species, illustrations of achenes, pappus and pollen, and a distribution map of the new genus are given.
Astragalus fissicalyx and A. veiskaramii are described as species new to science and illustrated. Based on gross morphology and petiole anatomy the relationships between the new species and their closest relatives, i.e. A. diopogon and A. anthylloides, respectively, are discussed.
KEYWORDS: Leguminosae, taxonomy, Astragalus kiviensis, Astragalus kadschoroides.
Astragalus kiviensis and A. kadschoroides are described as species new to science and illustrated, raising the number of short-stemmed species of A. sect. Onobrychoidei in Iran to five. The other three are A. asciocalyx, A. lilacinus and A. scapiger. A key is provided to the species of this morphological group in Iran, characterized by short stems very densely covered with grey, appressed hairs and becoming woody at the base.
Tetrazygia decorticans from central Cuba, a species new to science, is described and illustrated. Its position in Tetrazygia is discussed. The species is easily distinguished from other Cuban melastomes by its reddish bark that peels off in long laminar shreds.
Philodendron scherberichii of P. subg. Philodendron, from a high mountain forest in the Department of Nariño, is described as a species new to science and compared with P. lentii, a morphologically similar species. Both species are members of P. sect. Macrobelium subsect. Macrobelium ser. Ecordata.
Restrepiella lueri is described as a species new to science and illustrated from Costa Rica. The new species differs from R. ophiocephala by (1) the free lateral sepals with irregularly dentate margins, (2) the glabrous petals provided with three low, longitudinal keels, (3) the elliptic, simple lip, longer than the column and as long as the petals, ciliate along the margins and hirsute at apex, with three longitudinal keels from the base extending to the middle of the blade, and (4) the column without a foot. A key to the species of Restrepiella is provided.
Xanthosoma narinoense and Chlorospatha hastifolia from Colombia are described as species new to science. The delimitation of the two genera Xanthosoma and Chlorospatha is discussed and the new combination C. feuersteiniae validated for a species originally described in Xanthosoma.
During investigations into four regions of Montenegro (Rumija Mts, Lovčen Mts, the coastal area around Kotor, Durmitor National Park) and one of Serbia (Stara Planina Mts) carried out in 2003–2005, 28 bryophyte taxa new to Montenegro and 22 new to Serbia were collected. Two of these, Cynodontium gracilescens and Pohlia nutans subsp. schimperi, are new to the Balkan peninsula and four additional species were not known to occur in the whole territory of former Yugoslavia: Encalypta microstoma, Grimmia dissimulata, G. torquata, and Orthotrichum urnigerum. An annotated catalogue of the new records is presented, including notes on substrates and associated bryophytes. Bryogeographic relations are discussed with reference to some ecological characteristics of the regions investigated.
167 taxa of lichens are reported from the island of Upernavik. Their associations are briefly indicated and the new species Rhizocarpon subareolatum is described. For 25 taxa the records mean northern range extensions. The lichen flora of the island is comparatively rich in species with a distinct preference for moist habitats, while it is poor in species adapted to more xeric environments.
184 lichen taxa are reported from three mountain areas and one coastal locality in Guatemala, 159 of which are considered new records for Guatemala; of these, 52 are new to Central America and 12 new to the Neotropics. Notes on ecology and detailed chemical analyses are given for many taxa.
Data on comparative carpology of the species of Corispermum are presented. Their fruits are monomorphic and characterised by similar structural peculiarities. A combination of carpological features is shown to be important in the taxonomy and systematics of Corispermum species. 13 groups of species are distinguished based on fruit shape and dimensions, indumentum, wing shape and width, ultrasculpture of pericarp surface, detachment patterns, thickness of the outer pericarp layer and number of macrosclereid layers in the median portion of a fruit. A diagnostic key to the species groups supplemented by further characters is provided. Differences and general trends of specialisation in the anatomic structure of Corispermum and the other two genera of the Corispermoideae, Anthochlamys and Agriophyllum, is shown. The delimitation of the subfamily is confirmed by the results of the fruit anatomical studies. | 2019-04-19T03:23:42 | https://bioone.org/journals/willdenowia/volume-37/issue-1 |
And the final result of today’s work!
Aww, thanks! It was really fun to paint!
Very original kind of art! beautiful butterfly! | 2019-04-19T22:42:53 | https://caitlinclarkson.com/2015/03/24/and-the-final-result-of-todays-work/ |
Rachel Nix: Thank you so much for joining us for this issue, Ashley. The idea behind ‘Witness’ was completely yours; what about this prompt nudged you to set this word into a call for art?
Ashley M. Jones: I’m so ready to answer this question! So, about the time I got the email asking me to guest edit, I had just read (and I can’t remember which friend steered me toward this story, so if you’re out there, writer friend who gave me this amazing suggestion—thank you!) James Baldwin’s “Going to Meet the Man,” which is a remarkable short story that explains the complicated nature of racism and the body and sexualized racism and and and and—and after reading this story, I couldn’t stop thinking about witness, and how that story shows a rather unconventional perspective (it’s from the perspective of the racist lawman of a town), but it highlights the importance of witness in life and literature. The views that character has about Black people are a direct result of never having seen a Black person as a human being.
It’s also the result of what this character witnessed as a child—witness can mean many things. It can mean witnessing your parents discriminate against others by burning a cross or crossing to the other side of the street when they see a Black man walking their way. Witness can mean telling the story of your people—it means when I write about my Black experience and about the history of this nation. All of that is witness and witnessing (by which I mean seeing and reporting) is what starts these very important conversations that we need to have in order to make real change in our society. All of that to say—I wanted to encourage the publication of work that does witnessing work—sometimes literary folks like to think of writing as only an escape from the real world, but I like to think that it is also a way to deal, directly, with the real world. I wanted to see works that made a conscious effort to see and think about what is seen and experienced.
RN: Congratulations on the release of dark / / thing, your second book which is already racking up some incredible praise! Would you tell us about the collection—your aim for it and the inspiration behind it?
AJ: I’m so excited about this book! I’m so proud of the work I was able to write, and how the work still makes me feel when I read it aloud. I think I’m really just settling into a writing practice that privileges my creativity and imagination over anything else—that is, I’m not looking over my shoulder and wondering if this will be seen as “good,” if it’s too weird, if I need to hide behind my words a little more—I’m writing what my brain creates, thinking through things I want to think through, and drinking in inspiration from older writers, contemporary writers, and any poems or non-poetry forms I come across.
My aim for dark / / thing is to tell the truth. Just like MCG, it is vital to me as a writer/educator/activist that we keep telling the truth truth truth. I want to talk about my own experience as a Black woman from the South, a non-traditional, liberal Christian in the very traditional South, a girl who can never quite seem to find the right guy, a Black person who lives in constant rage, fear, confusion, and frustration with white supremacy, as a Black person who is immovably proud of her history, her people, her family, her God, her little life carved out from all this foolishness we call America, 2019. I want this book to shock you. I want it to educate you. I want it to inspire you. I want it to bring light.
RN: Magic City Gospel, your first book of poetry, may have been my favorite release of 2017. The collection is considered a love song to Birmingham: a place of history and harm, but also of warmth and character—with your work focusing on how you grew up as a young black woman in all of those ingredients. What led you to write this collection?
AJ: Simply put, this collection came out of a profound homesickness. When I wrote this collection, I had started the Master of Fine Arts Program at Florida International University, which is in Miami. Up until that point, I had never lived away from Birmingham. I had only been away from my family for maybe a week at most. I was 21 years old and was (still am) a tee totaling, rule-following, mom and dad loving, home before the street lights come on kind of girl. To go from that to Miami, which is, to say it nicely, a city that never sleeps, and certainly never sleeps politely, was a huge transition. I had to learn a lot about taking care of myself, about being an adult, and about how to be a writer outside of Birmingham and my safe circle of home. It was one of the hardest times in my life, but it was also one of the very best times I’ve ever had. All of this—the homesickness, the self-discovery, the amazing (and individuality-focused) instruction of the professors at FIU—led to MCG. I missed home so I wrote it on the page—every poetry assignment (heck, even the fiction and nonfiction ones) brought me back to what I knew and what I wanted back: my home, my history, that Alabama air. I discovered my love for Birmingham and for Alabama by immersing myself in a culture that was totally different, totally the antithesis of what I had always known. I realized that my home wasn’t something to run away from, screaming, but something to run to, knowing that I might be running, in some ways, back into a fire, but also knowing that a thing that burns doesn’t extinguish itself. And, that’s also to say that fire isn’t always bad. That burning can be turned toward progress. Sometimes you have to burn down the old to build something new.
RN: With a new book comes a tour and you’re teaming up with another brilliant writer from Alabama, the always lovely Tina Mozelle Braziel. Would you tell us a bit about what y’all are calling the Dark Salt Sisters Tour?
AJ: Tina and I always look for excuses to hang out together because we’re very close friends. So close, we call each other sisters. Our books released within a month of each other, and our work is complimentary—we both write about the South, our own experience of that South, and what family and history can do in one human/poet’s mind and life. We wanted to also take this conversation—the one we always have about anything and everything, on page and in person—on the road and share it with the US of A (or anywhere else if you’ll have us!). We wanted to be together on this literary adventure—I did my first tour mostly alone, and it was an introvert’s dream, sure, but most things are more fun with friends, and so far, touring with Tina has been as lovely and sweet and beautiful as I imagined it would be. You can check our websites [Tina & Ashley] for tour dates, and you can email either of us to book additional dates!
RN: Because our bookshelves are copycats and honestly we’re nosey, we’d love to know: Who are some of your favorite writers? Whose work can you not get enough of lately?
AJ: So, let’s just get this out of the way—Lucille Clifton, my patron saint of poetry.
Now, for some poets other than MotherClifton: I really can’t stop teaching Patricia Smith’s Incendiary Art. Like, I’ve been teaching it since it came out, and I’m sure students will storm my desk one day soon, urging me to just find another book. But that book just keeps teaching me, over and again. And, I think I’m late to the Baldwin train, but I always take things at my own pace. I already love and teach The Fire Next Time, and I’ve mentioned “Going to Meet the Man” (which is also a book of short stories), but I also recently read If Beale Street Could Talk, and WOW. I did not see the movie and I don’t really have interest in seeing it, but the book, y’all. What a ride. Bonus, because it’s Black History Month (which, honestly, never ends for me…I mean, it shouldn’t for anyone, because, America was built by Black people…but I digress): Black Misery by Langston Hughes. It’s a children’s book, an unfinished but completely staggering (and very deceptively simple) poem about the Black experience in America, made understandable for children and tragic for adults.
RN: And because I predicted you’d mention Lucille Clifton, how did it feel to be selected as the 2019 Lucille Clifton Legacy Award recipient by St. Mary’s College of Maryland?
AJ: I feel like I’m living in some ridiculous dream. I mean, last year, I won the 2018 Lucille Clifton Poetry Prize from Backbone Press, this year I win this—I mean, what’s next? I’m so honored to be recognized by Sister Sonia Sanchez, a poetry powerhouse and international superstar (and Birmingham native!), to get to read with her (!!!), and to honor my most favorite poet of all time, Lucille Clifton, at the very college where she worked! I think I’ll probably be overwhelmed when I get to campus, I’ll be overwhelmed the whole time I’m on stage, and I’ll still be shaking my head when I get back home. When I think about this season of recognition I seem to find myself in, I think about those times when I thought (and, let’s face it, sometimes still think) that I wasn’t good enough, that I wasn’t ever going to be a real-real poet. These awards don’t tell me that I’ve “made it,” and I actually hope I never feel that way. What’s sustained me over the years is a deep focus on doing the work, being a good (literary) citizen, writing my authentic truth, and never letting my imagination dissolve into routine/what’s popular/what’s selling/what otherfolk are doing. I am still a little Black girl from Birmingham who likes to read and write and wear pretty clothes. I’m very proud that those things are still true and that I’m able to win awards for that BlackAlabamaWeirdandSometimesMilitant writing. And to feel like I’m in conversation with the spirit of MotherLucille? That’s just the most glorious icing on an already decadent cake. That I get to write and commune with her is an absolute dream and I’ll never ever come down off of that cloud.
RN: When you’re not writing and submitting your work, where are you reading? We’re always on the hunt for more lit journals to dig into and are curious where others look to in appeasing their own tastes. Online or print, which journals do you admire and do you follow any regularly?
AJ: Here’s a dirty secret—I’m not exactly a litmag reader in the way that I’d always been taught I was supposed to be. I sort of just amble along through stacks and pages and (now, thanks to the digital age), websites and online journals, reading cool work and getting excited about it. Now, I do really love what Winter Tangerine has done re: publishing new and exciting voices “from the margins” (by which I mean—those who are traditionally left out of the canon). I’m into Glass Poetry Journal for the very same reason. I do follow Split This Rock’s poem of the week and the poem-a-day from poets.org, which has been very exciting in recent years. I mean, did y’all read Mahogany L. Browne’s “Inevitable” from a couple of days ago? WOWZA.
RN: Where can we see more of your work? Any new projects on the way, recent publications you’d like to link us to or have us look out for?
AJ: So, I’m now publishing a lot of new-new work from the third project. So, there’s some love poems and body image poems floating around that I’ll link below. I also have a Harriet Tubman suite coming in the Spring edition of Oxford American which I’m very excited about. Those poems appear in dark / / thing, but I’m just so excited to see them on the OA platform, too. And And AND—we’re gearing up for the 2019 Magic City Poetry Festival, which is going to be big and beautiful and whose keynote reader is the one and only SONIA SANCHEZ. We’re excited. Follow us at magiccitypoetryfestival.org or on our social media channels.
“Aubade with Lalah Hathaway and Rachelle Ferrell” at Bomb Cyclone, “A Poem About the Body” and “Bestiary of Bad Kisses” at Southern Humanities Review, and “The Kid Next To Me At The 7pm Showing Of The Avengers Has A Toy Gun,” winner of the Lucille Clifton prize, at Black Bone Press. You can also see lots of links and much more at ashleymichellejones.wordpress.com.
RN: Outside of your own writing, you’re incredibly active in the Birmingham literary community. Let me know if I leave anything out here: you’re the founding director of the Magic City Poetry Festival, 2nd Vice President and Membership Chair of the AWC, co-coordinator of the Nitty Gritty Magic City Reading Series, faculty member in the Creative Writing Department of the Alabama School of Fine Arts, and co-organizer of Birmingham’s 100,000 Poets for Change. How’d you get started in all of this community work?
AJ: I have also been teaching seminars in Black Studies and Poetry with the University Honors Program at UAB…and I take tap and am coming to a stage near you, ha! I think I started doing this kind of work because it became a part of my norm when I was in college. I was/am an overachiever, and I found that I really liked busying myself with volunteer work. It was work, yes, but it also made people feel good and helped good causes. So, that’s part of it. The other part is that I just genuinely need to be doing things to have a successful writing life. It’s really hard for me to go to the page when I haven’t experienced anything in real life. And, I really care about my community. A lot. I am so committed to making Birmingham the place I wanted it to be when I was kid, and I’m a true believer in pouring into the place you call home, especially if that place is the place you grew up and you wished and wished it would just be like Atlanta. Now I know, Atlanta is too dang crowded for anyone to live successfully…ha! No, what I know is that I can’t complain about my city if I don’t use that same energy to create programs and opportunities in it. It really is up to us to make the world what we want it to be, and that’s what I’m doing by doing all this stuff here in the Ham. I love writing and I love my community, and I think this is the way I can help the city become the sparkling thing it deserves to be.
RN: I ask this in every interview because it seems like all writers have one book that’s defined them in some way. Any genre, any subject: what’s your favorite book? What book matters to you?
AJ: Okay, let’s see. This is a hard question, and I could very easily say “anything by Lucille Clifton,” which is totally true, but I’m going to take it back, way back. So, the three books I have to talk about are Mumfaro’s Beautiful Daughters, Honey I Love, and Meet Addy. So, when I was young, I became very seriously disturbed by the idea of slavery and the history of violence against Black people in the Western world. I have a poem about it in MCG—my parents had us watch Roots, and I was just utterly terrified. I remember imagining, as I drifted to sleep, angry White men bursting down our door, taking my family, splitting us up, and whipping us because we wouldn’t stop crying/fighting/trying to live. I was afraid, and I didn’t know how to articulate that to my parents or to anyone. So, in the school library, I stayed close to Laura Ingalls Wilder and Louisa May Alcott and Madeline L’Engle and C.S. Louis and anyone who wasn’t Black and in pain. My parents thought I was becoming self-hating, that I was being impacted by something that told me white was right. But, really, I was just so afraid that my life would be stolen from me.
I remember reading Mumfaro’s Beautiful Daughters and feeling so elated to see Black girls in all the roles—Cinderella, stepsisters, prince, king! I remember reading Honey I Love (poems by Eloise Greenfield) and loving the way the poems felt when I read them aloud. I even recited her piece, “Harriet Tubman,” and felt a power I had never felt before (there’s a poem about that, too, in the new book). I remember finally reading the Addy books in the American Girl series and realizing that Addy wasn’t a sad and scary story—it was horrific because of slavery, but inspiring because Addy was still a girl with interests and loves and joys, and that made me want to lean into my heritage, bit by bit. I was always taught to be proud of being Black. That was never the issue. These books helped me realize that my pride didn’t mean I was setting myself up for a life of misery. I saw that any injustice that was done to my people was the fault of those people and their hatred and ignorance. And, now, I’m so happy to always tell the story of my people so it stays clear and big in everyone’s minds. | 2019-04-22T20:20:52 | http://cahoodaloodaling.com/rachel-nix-interviews-guest-editor-ashley-m-jones/ |

Contrary to much prevalent notion, it is an established fact that exercises are necessary during pregnancy. They not only help in the growth and development of the baby but also help the mothers in coping up with pregnancy changes and increase the chances of normal delivery. If you have been regular in your workouts before pregnancy, then you can continue doing all your regular exercises during pregnancy also, except for breathing exercises, heavy exercises, deep knee bends and those exercises which involve risk of causing abdominal trauma.
For those of you who are yet to incorporate some kind of workout in their daily routine, this is the time to take the plunge.
Many moderate forms of exercises like swimming, walking, jogging, cycling and other low impact exercises are considered safe during pregnancy. Another form which is making buzz all around is PRENATAL YOGA. It is the set of yogic exercises that include stretching, controlled breathing and mental focus. This form of yoga is specially designed for needs of pregnant women; as it tones the muscles, improves circulation, helps with balance, encourages deep breathing and facilitates labour and childbirth. Moreover, enrolling yourself into some prenatal yoga classes can help you bond with other expectant mothers and enjoy some “we time”.
Prenatal-Yoga helps in increasing the flexibility of the body. It relieves strain around the cervix, by opening up the pelvic region. This prepares to-be-mothers for labour and delivery. Moreover, it helps in overcoming the effect of common pregnancy symptoms like morning sickness, painful leg cramps, swollen ankles and constipation. All in all, prenatal yoga is a great exercise alternative during pregnancy, providing holistic health benefits for expectant mothers.
There is a wide range of yogic poses that come under the banner of prenatal yoga; here we are telling you about some common and easy-to-learn poses of prenatal yoga.
This is an all round good pose that works the legs, stretches the side body, strengthens the hips, reduces back strain and opens up the shoulders, which generally start to cave in a bit during pregnancy. It also relieves lower back pain, stress and slow digestion. Triangle pose helps to maintain physical and mental balance and is particularly useful for pregnant women as their centre of gravity shifts.
This yoga pose can be practiced as a standalone exercise or as a warm-up move before performing other yogic exercises.
There are two ways to perform this yogic pose; full butterfly pose and half butterfly pose. This pose addresses suppleness in the hip and groin region. It stretches the thighs and knees and alleviates fatigue. It strengthens the pelvic floor muscles. For all these benefits, if practiced till late in pregnancy, it helps to facilitate smooth delivery.
This pose improves body balance and averts the possibility of falling during pregnancy. This Yoga Pose also tones the arms, legs and lower back. It increases stamina and helps cope with delivery. It is particularly helpful in 3rd trimester, when energy levels are low. By using the chair, you may minimise your effort and still enjoy the hip opening.
Any type of side bend helps an irritable back during pregnancy; you may choose your preferred variation, either with crossed or open legs.
As with the seated forward bend, this posture relieves pressure off your belly and would certainly give you a great feeling. Do not worry about pushing yourself too far into a deep back bend while trying this variation, rather just focus on swaying easily with your breath.
As the baby grows, the spine bears more pressure, so moving on hands and knees relieves that pressure. The Table Top position also assists to move the baby into proper position for delivery and can provide relief during labour contractions.
Hanging out in a squat pose like this opens up the hips and pelvis, which is ideal for prenatal drill.
It is also known to stimulate digestion and is a very effective stretch through the legs and back. It can be practised by leaning against a wall or squatting on blankets. However, it is only suitable until about 30 weeks.
This aasana is performed on your side, with a support placed between your legs as lying flat on your back is not recommended. This aasana relaxes the body, mitigates stress and repairs the cells. This aids in self-healing which is imperative for pregnant women as they should stay away from pills.
This has healing properties and helps regulate blood pressure. It reduces tension and anxiety. It deeply relaxes every cell in the body and prepares the body for the approaching marathon of delivery.
As much as Yoga is useful for the wellness of body and mind during pregnancy, it’s also important to exercise due precautions in its practice and avoid over exposure.
Avoid yoga asanas that put pressure on the abdomen, during the advanced stages of pregnancy.
For the first trimester of pregnancy, do standing yoga poses. This helps to strengthen the legs, enhance circulation and lessen leg cramps.
During the second and third trimester, reduce the time spent holding asanas in order to prevent fatigue state. Substitute YOGA asanas with breathing exercises and meditation if it causes lots of fatigues.
Don’t do any asanas on your back after the first trimester as they can reduce blood flow to the uterus.
Avoid practicing yoga from the 10th to the14th week of pregnancy, since these are crucial times.
Listen to your body, and just do as much as you can without undue effort. You may need to modify your yoga poses as your body changes.
Last, and most importantly, it is advisable to consult a doctor before taking up any yoga schedule during pregnancy.
Learn and practice yoga postures under the supervision of a trained yoga instructor who can help to customize your asanas to facilitate the stage of pregnancy you’re in. | 2019-04-24T08:24:06 | https://medictips.com/best-yoga-exercises-pregnancy-prenatal-yoga/ |

The Facebook Election: Can the Social Network Predict Winners in the 2010 Midterms?
In some races, there are large gaps in the number of friends various competitors have. Is that an indicator of how they’ll do at the polls?
In Nevada, Republican challenger Sharron Angle is not only leading Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in the polls, she’s also far ahead on the social nets. When we started writing this story, Angle’s Facebook page had 104,059 fans vs. a mere 14,348 for Reid. Angle is also leading when it comes to voter sentiment–by four points, according to the latest Rasmussen poll. And Facebook’s public policy team says that Angle is piling on new supporters at a faster rate than Reid. In the last two weeks, Angle’s Facebook fan base grew by 10,500, vs. just 921 for Reid.
So does that mean Angle will knock Reid out of the Senate on election day next Tuesday? It’s anyone’s guess. We asked Facebook, and as far as they know, no one’s taken a hard look at the correlation between activity on Facebook and victory at the polls. But based on some of the primary races they looked at, Reid might want to start harvesting Farmville for friends. “Many candidates who won their primary races had more Facebook fans than their opponents and actively posted campaign updates on their Facebook Pages,” Facebook’s manager of public policy communications Andrew Noyes tells Fast Company in an email.
Take everyone’s favorite state this election season: Delaware. On the primary day, not-a-witch Republican Senate contender Christine O’Donnell’s Facebook page had four times as many fans as opponent Rep. Mike Castle. On the day of Washington, D.C.’s primary, Vince Gray, who unseated Mayor Adrian Fenty, had twice as many fans as his rival. And in New York, Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino had 20% more fans when he beat his better known opponent Rick Lazio.
A more rigorous analysis of the correlation between Facebook activity and political outcomes needs to be undertaken before any definitive conclusions can be drawn. But for any candidate who’s trailing their competitor on the social network, it probably wouldn’t hurt to try to recruit some new fans.

It’s time to count the casualties form Origin. The North Queensland Cowboys came through unscathed, with Johnathan Thurston, Matt Scott, Brent Tate and James Tamou backing up on Saturday. For the Melbourne Storm it’s not great news. Cooper Cronk has broken arm and will miss 8 weeks and Billy Slater has a shoulder problem which will sideline him for 2-3 weeks. Cameron Smith is also in doubt after suffering ankle ligament damage, but has until just before kick-off to prove his fitness.
On the medical front alone, the Cowboys are in the driver’s seat. A poor performance last week against the Raiders shows how much they rely on their Origin stars. They had no direction, which is provided by Thurston; no grunt and mongrel, which Scott and Tamou bring, and little leadership, which Tate helps deliver. Scott Bolton starts at lock for the suspended Tariq Sims, Robert Lui drops to the bench and Jason Taumalolo starts in the second row for Glenn Hall, who has an interchange role.
Craig Bellamy is cursing Origin right now. Cronk's sidelined for two months, Slater at least a fortnight and the skipper's battling. Bellamy is likely to be minus his “Big 3” this game. Compounding Bellamy's headaches, young half Ben Hampton is suspended and Ben Roberts has already been called up for the injured Joel Romelo. No "Big 3" is a big dilemma for the 'purple army' and Melbourne's depth is being tested by a growing casualty list and suspension.
The way these two teams were going before Origin would have made for an epic clash. But luck is not on the Storm's side and the Cowboys should come away with this. | 2019-04-24T04:13:29 | https://tatts.com/news/2014/5/31/sports%20cowboys%20v%20storm%20nrl |

Animals arriving at shelters as a result of a natural disaster need special care. Because they may have been exposed to contaminated water and may not have had access to safe food and fresh water, many are stressed and dehydrated and some may be injured and/or ill. Stressed animals may or may not show signs of illness and may also exhibit behavioral disorders. Following some simple animal management and disease control guidelines can help improve animal health and reduce the risk of disease transmission and injury between animals and people.

The sport of Journey Racing is sweeping the nation at an outstanding fee. The catch of unwanted species can be a difficulty in these fisheries. Not like most different occasions by which individuals follow a marked course on set roads or trails, adventure racing is a journey through which racers journey an unknown landscape. Journey racing includes a mixture of disciplines including navigation, cross country running, mountain biking, climbing, paddling, rope abilities and orienteering.
The Destin Historical past and Fishing Museum held their twelfth Annual Gumbo Contest and Silent Public sale Saturday, January 27 at the Destin Group Middle. This fishing methodology can have vital impacts on sensitive seafloor habitat and backside-dwelling species. Professional Journey Racing teams comparable to DART-Nuun eliminate that threat by utilizing Nuun in their water bottles.
It’s an awesome trick (it’s truly the full display view mapped onto the car, very like the jumbotrons in lots of the second era sports activities games) that’s certain to be copied by many upcoming racers. The first place or highest ending coed workforce from every regional qualifying race will obtain a $400.00 sponsorship, offered by the regional qualifying race, to be applied to the groups entry price for the USARA Journey Race Nationwide Championship.
The block of thirteen Scottish Conservative MPs, including the Scottish Secretary, David Mundell, have repeatedly taken a tricky collective stance with the prime minister over the problem, solely final week restating that it will be a “betrayal” if the EU retained any management over fishing rights. Groups can be required to attempt multiple legs of alternating race disciplines.

“How’s grad school going?” my friend from home asked.
“I mean—I’m glad I’m trying it,” I stammered, going on about a few highlights.
“But do you like it?” she pressed.
The truth is that I’d been afraid to ask myself this very question, because I was afraid to learn the answer….
But first, how is grad school going?
I never thought those four words would describe me, especially at twenty-three, but in my first few days as a graduate student, they’ve become a heavy truth I have no choice but to accept—and at the same time, they’ve turned into a statement of empowerment.
When I was a kid, I never quite fit in at school, but the outdoors were my refuge—every day, I came home and found peace and quiet in our woods. Little did I know, nature was about to stab me in the back worse than anything the other kids might’ve said. | 2019-04-19T09:16:44 | https://thedreamingpanda.com/category/lyme-disease/ |

Just in time for the winter heating season, Philadelphia Gas Works announced Monday it will decrease natural gas rates for the next three months, saving the average residential heating customer about $14.69 per month.
The municipal gas utility will lower its residential gas-supply charge from $1.60 per hundred cubic feet to $1.50 on Wednesday. The charge for commercial and institutional customers will also be reduced.
The supply charge is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the wholesale market price of natural gas, which is depressed because of the recession and abundant supplies from new resources such as shale-gas.
Based upon current market projections, the company anticipates that its rates should remain stable through the spring.
Citing falling market prices and a growing supply, UGI Gas Utilities said Tuesday that it will decrease the rate it charges for natural gas by 8.1 percent beginning today.
UGI provides natural gas to 82,000 customers in the greater Reading area.
In addition, the utility owns UGI Central Penn Gas, which has several hundred customers in Hamburg and Shoemakersville, and in Centre, Perry, Tilden and Windsor townships. The rate for those customers will drop by 10.7 percent beginning today.
The average monthly bill for a UGI customer will drop to $103.60 from $112.76, officials said.
Central Penn monthly bills will drop to $83.01 from $92.92, they said.
Since 2008, UGI customers’ rates have fallen 30 percent and Central Penn customers’ bills have dropped 35 percent, company spokesman Joseph Swope said.
By 2018, Swope said, the Marcellus shale will be producing 4.6 billion cubic feet per day, or 40 percent of all natural gas currently used in the Northeast.
U.S. natural gas reserves increased by the most in history last year, and crude reserves also rose, as companies drilled frantically into shale rock formations with new technology, the Energy Information Administration said in an annual report on Tuesday.
U.S. net proved natural gas reserves rose 11 percent, or 28.8 trillion cubic feet (tcf), in 2009 to total 284 tcf, underscoring the dramatic impact that new gas pumped from shale rock formations is having on world energy supply.
“These increases demonstrate the possibility of an expanding role for domestic natural gas and crude oil in meeting both current and projected U.S. energy demands,” EIA researchers said in their report.
Proved reserves — which now stand at the equivalent of 12 years of gas consumption and 3.3 years of oil demand — represent energy supplies that are extensively charted out and could be tapped under current market conditions. Total recoverable reserves, however, can be far higher. | 2019-04-22T22:49:26 | http://marcelluscoalition.org/2010/12/marcellus-shale-saving-pennsylvanians-millions-in-home-heating-costs/ |

19 of 30|Three groups, thirty cars, one track.
26 of 30|Me... preparing to kill it. I didnt kill it.
We make no effort to hide our love of the Porsche brand. For over 70 years the brand has been creating icons of the road and has become a legend of motorsport winning almost every road race on the planet. It’s safe to say, Porsche cars are designed and built to be driven fast, very fast.
What if you live in Australia? The ultimate ‘nanny country’ where there are rules for rules. Nightclubs close at 11pm and driving at 50 km/h has become common practice for us city folk. Thankfully if you’re a driving enthusiast or someone who’s invested their hard earned money in a Porsche, there’s a wonderful solution for you.
It’s called the Porsche Experience.
For a small investment you can do two things: Drive Porsche’s fastest cars or bring your own car and experience it doing what it was designed to do.
Porsche’s driver training facility is located at Mount Cotton in Queensland, however for the purpose of this adventure I was spending three days at the mighty Phillip Island Circuit, a regular fixture on the MotoGP and the V8 Supercars calendars. Ask any V8 Supercar driver and they’ll tell you that Phillip Island is one of Australia’s most iconic and fastest race tracks. Wide, undulating and fast.
For some Porsche Experiences away from Mount Cotton, it’s BYO Porsche. Thankfully Porsche was nice enough to lend me the new 911 Carrera T and a Cayman S. Strangely it’s not just 911s who participate. Over the three days we saw old Boxters (like very old Boxters), Macan S, Caymans GT4s, GT3 RSs, 997s, 996s and even a lone Cayenne with after market GTS stickers. No matter what Porsche you own, you can learn how to drive it at a Porsche Experience.
Porsche employ the services of past and present racing icons. Names such as Luke Youlden, Craig Baird, Dean Canto and Alex Davison are just some of the instructors on hand teaching drivers how to get the most out of their cars and learn how to drive in a range of challenging situations. Braking, skid pan, defensive driving and avoiding danger. Overseeing the driving is the gruff and no bs Thomas Mezera whose dry demeanour will scare some but ensures there’s no funny buggers on track.
So is it just driving fast?
No, it’s a lot more than that. The days are broken up into two parts. The mornings are for learning, the afternoons are open track. Day one we learn about corners, the importance hitting the apex and braking to maximise speed. Then there’s the braking challenge. It’s here we learn just how much space you need to pull up to a complete stop at speed. Expect to be very wrong in your estimations. Lastly we attempt a short Motorkhana course where drivers do their best to complete the course without knocking over the cones. No cones were knocked over in the writing of this article.
With the morning’s education sessions complete, drivers are invited out on the open track. Here we complete a number of laps behind the instructors where they talk us through the corners, ensuring we know where to brake, accelerate and turn. This is commonly known as ducks & drakes, this practice is invaluable for learning the circuit before you’re let loose by yourself.
On track it’s just you and a crash helmet. Three groups of ten and strictly no passengers. The drivers decide how quickly they want to drive because, it’s their car. On the flip side you can take part in the Porsche Experience at Mount Cotton, where you’ll be driving Porsche’s 911s. However the rules still apply, you break it you buy it.
There’s nothing quite like driving a Porsche around Phillip Island. Fast corners, a long straight and a need for constant concentration. You’ll be amazed at how tired you get after three sessions driving at speed on the track. It’s tiring and sweaty work but someone has to do it.
With day one (Precision) complete, we head back to the hotel where I experience the dynamic between the driving instructors at dinner at the iconic Pino’s; an Italian bistro with MotorGP memorabilia on the walls. These guys live and breath racing, they’ve been working with Porsche for decades and many have won championships with the company. Participants are learning from the very best drivers who’ve crashed, survived and they ensure you learn as much as possible. A single lap as passenger with eight-time Porsche GT3 & Carrera Cup champion and bon-vivant Craig Baird should help even the worst driver improve on track.
Day two (Precision Plus) of the Porsche Experience is not to different than the previous day. Skid pan (much harder than you think), defensive braking, avoidance at speed and another Motorkhana, only faster this time. The second half of the day is open track again, driving at speed with your helmet on.
Day three (Performance) is a day of speed. Nothing but open track driving. This is where the big boys toys come out to play. Plenty of GT3s, an angry Cayman GT4 and even a bloke in a convertible Turbo S (which is impossible to catch on the straight). You’re probably thinking ‘are you allowed to race?’. The answer is no. Cars are sent out on the track every 15 seconds in small groups, you can pass only on the main straight and driving up someone’s arse is frowned upon. Drivers choose their time to go slow and the polite slow guys move over on the main straight to let the GT3s pass.
Thankfully Porsche matches everyone in groups based on speed and experience so don’t expect to race a GT2 RS in your 1999 convertible Boxter. You’ll also find many Porsche owners taking part in level three regularly as it’s a great chance to hang out with other owners and get that all important track time.
Once you’ve completed level three the only way is up. Participants are invited to Brisbane Raceway to experience the GT3 RS for level four. Level five is another step up driving Porsche Carrera Cup cars. In 2019 we’ll be experiencing levels four and five, so watch out for that. For drivers who want more we recommend Porsche’s ice driving CAMP4 experiences in the Arctic Circle.
The Porsche Experience is designed for owners and lovers of every level. Women, men, young and old. It’s an inclusive and fun environment where you can experience what Porsche’s cars have to offer.
If you want to experience driving with Porsche yourself we recommend checking out their calendar. There’s over 50 days a year they operate track experiences. | 2019-04-25T20:26:12 | https://www.dmarge.com/2019/02/porsche-experience.html |

Why did I become a foster parent? People ask me that all the time, and it’s really hard to answer. It’s not because I don’t know why I’m doing this. It’s because I don’t know how to explain it without sounding, you know, preachy weird. I do not usually talk about God with random strangers. So how do I explain something like this? Because to be honest, the reason I became a foster parent is because God told me to. That’s right people, the GOD OF THE UNIVERSE spoke to a little wimp like me! I can hardly believe it myself.
How can I be sure God spoke to me? It was quite simple. It came from my husband.
I had brought up the idea of foster care several times throughout our marriage, but Sam had never been interested. He had a lot of practical reasons why caring for foster children could not and would not work for us.
His change of mind was so unexpected that I think I was silent for one full minute (clearly another sign of God’s divine intervention). From that moment on, Sam has been 100% confident that we should be doing foster care. He has not had a single doubt. So I can truly tell you that I have seen the power of the Holy Spirit combined with the decisiveness of a man. It is scary, people.
Although I had initially introduced the idea of foster care, throughout the licensing process I found that I was the one who was dragging my feet like a reluctant toddler who doesn’t want to do anything that anyone tells her to do. She thinks that she knows best. I thought so, too.
I guess in the end, we know that fear is not a good reason not to do anything. But we all have fear, that deep-down, gut-wrenching kind of fear. It is fear that wakes us up at night with those unspeakable “what-if”s.
And fear can run our lives if we let it. It runs our lives all the time. Unaddressed fear can easily become the master of our existence.
Well, God was having none of that with me. He exposed my fears quite unceremoniously and proceeded to hack at them with a machete, leaving me strangely more vulnerable and yet simultaneously more courageous. Does that sound weird to you? Yeah, me too.
So, in case you wanted to know, that’s why I’m doing foster care. I know that doesn’t sound romantic or exciting, but its true. God told me to do it, and I am obeying. One unknown day at a time. | 2019-04-25T10:09:05 | http://williamsonfamily.com/sammichele/blog/why-am-i-doing-foster-care.aspx |
This is a negative example of an annotated bibliography. Which of the criteria does it fail to meet? What problems does it have? How can you be sure your annotation meets more of the criteria than this one?
By: Blackmon, Wayne D. American Journal of Psychotherapy. Fall1994, Vol. 48 Issue 4, p624-632. 9p. DOI: 10.1176/appi.psychotherapy.1994.48.4.624.
Wayne talks about three patients he had who benefited from playing the game. One patient played for five hours each week, another played for three, and the third only got to play for one hour! I like this source. They played a game called Savage Word. Wayne says that he tried to create situations in the game that would let the patients practice experiencing things that gave them stress in the real world. This stressful things were just in the game, so the patients knew they were not in the real world. So, they could consider the stressful thing from an emotional distance and think about it without it being too personal. Then, when they did encounter the stressful thing in the real world they were ready for it because they had already thought about it as part of the game that they had played with Wayne. It is wonderful that Wayne thought of this. The thing about this is that I don’t know if the game mechanics of most games are flexible for most doctors in Wayne’s position to do this. Also, a big part of most games is randomness, from either like dice or sometimes shuffled cards. Its not really the game without randomness, but what if the randomness happens in a way that freaks the patient out? That’s not good. How to do patients really make the switch from games to IRL. Maybe if patients are afraid of spiders IRL they could beat some giant spiders in the game, but if patients are afraid to talk to their boss about vacation days, how would that work in the fame? It’s not like dragons sit on piles of vacation days. | 2019-04-19T20:58:15 | https://metaphorbymetaphor.com/2019/02/12/2010-negative-example/ |
What about the climate of Southeastern Arizona makes it a new hotbed for wine?
Peggy Fiandaca, left, and Curt Dunham, right, owners of Lawrence Dunham Vinyards inside their wine cellar.
Sydnie LeMieux recently graduated from the UA with a bachelor's degree in geosciences.
If making wine is a science, then Southern Arizona is a superior laboratory. But ditch the lab coats and goggles because the most important components for growing grapes are elevation, climate and soil.
Arizona has more than 80 licensed and bonded wineries, according to the Arizona Wine Growers Association. In Southern Arizona the vineyards are clustered around Sonoita and Willcox. These vineyards don't thrive among saguaros and cholla but in well-watered grasslands above 4,000 feet, where the days are warm and the nights cool.
In 2007, Peggy Fiandaca and Curt Dunham established Lawrence Dunham Vineyards, 36 miles southeast of Willcox. The name honors Dunham's parents—Betty Jane Lawrence and Robert Ervin Dunham.
The winery sits on the western slopes of the Chiricahua Mountains. "This area has incredible soil and water qualities, and the weather, on the edge of briskness, provides a wonderful place to grow mountain fruit," Dunham said.
"Great wine starts in the vineyard," Fiandaca added.
Grapes are traditionally grown along coasts or in valleys below 1,000 feet. Compared with most vineyards, Lawrence Dunham Vineyards sits at a high elevation—4,896 feet. The temperature dips into the 50s at night and rises into the 90s during the day in the growing season. "Plants would rather have it 72 and sunny every day," Dunham said, but that wouldn't make tasty grapes.
These temperature swings stress the grapes, which is a good thing. A stressed grape means a thick skin, which results in better-tasting wine.
But here's where it gets tricky. Like humans, grapes can be too stressed.
"Grapes are an arid plant, meaning they don't want wet feet," Dunham said. When it rains hard during the summer monsoons, the grapes need good drainage.
The grassland soils provide an ideal rain-filtering system. The soils are made of rhyolite, ash and granite. The rhyolite and ash formed from a massive volcanic eruption about 27 million years ago that cooled atop older granite and formed the Chiricahuas. This porous mixture allows rainwater to drip through so the grapes are not sitting in an underground bathtub.
At the same time, this particular mixture of rock helps hold onto a bit of the moisture so the plants don't dry up.
Soils play an important role in determining a wine's taste. They add distinctive flavors to the grapes because the roots pick up minerals and other nutrients that filter downward from the surface. "Grasslands are amazing at storing and accumulating nutrient-rich organic matter in the surface soils," said Rebecca Lybrand, a doctoral student studying soils in the UA's Department of Soil, Water and Environmental Science.
Fiandaca and Dunham modeled their wine varieties after those in the Rhône Valley of southern France, where rocky soils also predominate.
Each year Lawrence Dunham Vineyards produces about 2,000 cases of four varietals: grenache, syrah, petite sirah and viognier. Varietals are wines made from the same type of grape. The opposite of varietals are blends, which are mixtures of varietals.
Petite sirah grapes produce red wine with a spicy, plummy flavor. Syrah, not to be confused with petite sirah, is also a red. It contains flavors of blackberry, mint and black pepper. The third red, grenache, is spicy, with red fruit flavors. It is the dominant variety produced in the Rhône Valley. Grenache grapes thrive in warm, dry conditions. So do viognier grapes, which produce a white varietal with floral aromas and hints of peach, pear and violet.
Elevation, climate and soil all affect the quality of the grapes. So which one matters most?
Stephan Hlohowskyj, a soil scientist and lab manager in UA's Department of Geosciences, offered an interesting analogy. "Let's say you're having a baby and you ask your doctor, 'What is the most dominant factor in the way my baby will look?' There is no one dominant thing because there are 23 chromosomes from each parent that go into making your baby. And that's kind of the same thing when you're growing plants. That's why it's so hard to grow good wine grapes."
Keep in mind that we haven't even gotten to talking about fermenting the grapes and bottling the wine.
After the grape vines are planted, there is a lot of plant-sitting to do. One of the most important tools that Fiandaca and Dunham rely on is a weather station, which tracks the wind flow, humidity, temperature and soil moisture.
Dunham listed the weather variables encountered during one growing season, which is equivalent to one calendar year.
• Ninety-degree heat waves start in May. Hopefully, the plants won't dry out or die of thirst.
• During the summer, thunderstorms and hail can obliterate the plants by ripping their roots out of the ground and damaging leaves and fruit. Also, if the field stays wet for a long time, the grapes can rot.
• Early freezes begin in fall, followed by hard freezes in winter. If frost occurs in spring after the plants have budded, fruit won't form.
• Pests and diseases can also interfere with plant growth.
With 40 acres to tend, Fiandaca and Durham can't just wrap a blanket around their vines to protect them. "There really is not much you can do to prevent the acreage from damage," Fiandaca said, "so we just drink." | 2019-04-22T04:33:42 | https://www.tucsonweekly.com/tucson/the-science-behind-the-grapes/Content?oid=3941350 |
