Here help insure you cook only your burgers – and not your house- in the process.
TIPS FOR ALL GRILLS
1. Your grill, whether gas or charcoal, should be on a level surface outdoors, away from anything that couldl be ignited by flames (bushes, fences, gazebo’s, etc).
2. NEVER use a grill indoors. Odorless carbon monoxide fumes could silently kill you.
3. Keep your grill clean and well-maintained. Check parts regularly to determine if replacements are needed.
CHARCOAL GRILL TIPS (from Kingsford.com)
1. Do not add lighter fluid directly to hot coals. The flame could travel up the stream of fluid and burn you.
2. Never use gasoline or kerosene to light a charcoal fire.
3.)
1. Check your grill’s hoses for leaks before using it for the first time each year. Apply a light soap and water solution to the hose. A propane leak will release bubbles. If you have a leak, and it will not stop after the grill and gas are turned off, have your grill serviced by a professional.
2. If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and call the fire department. DO NOT MOVE THE GRILL.
3. Do not keep a filled propane tank in a hot car or trunk. When getting containers refilled, make that your last stop before going home.
4. Store propane tanks in an upright position, and never indoors.

As you read this I should hopefully be in a state resembling some sort of regenerative coma, a slightly more mainstream and fundamentally less cool version of the Odin Sleep. For I will have only just returned from my holidays. Finally returning to my seat of power after wild adventures in Devon and Nottinghamshire. I will be a drained and empty husk, my vital life essences depleted after so long away from the dark and eldritch energies that coarse through my lair. I expect to be so utterly incapable of cognitive processing or even basic motor control, that this post is being written ahead of time. Thus I come to you, through the mist of time, from June 8th. In what I can only described as a very shoddy approximation to a real time machine.

Lifestyle
Your overall lifestyle can impact your health. The lack of exercise, poor nutrition and stress can all lead to serious health issues over time. It’s important to find a balance in your life to ensure that you can lead your best life.
Stress is a major contributor to many health factors. Keeping your stress under control is another layer for good health. Yoga, meditation and breathing techniques can help to reduce your stress levels. In addition, a diet filled with healthy greens and proteins help to keep your stress leveled out and vigorous exercise will raise levels of dopamine, thus reducing or eliminating the feelings and physical attributes that can be caused from a stressful lifestyle.
Consult with your coach and learn techniques to keep your stress in check like incorporating a daily meditation into your routine or practicing yoga.
During the Rolling Strong W.E.L.L talk, I found the mediation practice greatly beneficial. It helps me clear my thoughts and reduce some of the stress I feel. It allows me to reset my feelings, renew my energy, and start over again.

It’s hard to believe that there’s less than 3 days left before the 2010 FIFA World Cup kicks off in South Africa. Hype is really building for the tournament. Some businesses in South Africa are giving their workers time off so they can watch the opening ceremony and the first match between South Africa and Mexico at Soccer City on Friday.
The biggest show and sporting event in the world is upon us. I’m sure that I will watch a lot of the matches in the coming month or so and I understand why MTV is broadcasting this TV advert. It’s one of the most original and brilliant adverts I’ve ever seen. For those of you who didn’t know: MTV (also known as Music Television) was started in 1981. The music video for “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles was the first music video ever played on the channel. The channel has grown since then with affiliate channels in most regions of the world. This TV advert features Spooky the neglected hamster who craves pizza and who has a chainsaw. Definately original if you ask me.

Agricultural Land Reserve - Update
Today we received news that the government is close to capitulating ...but the fight is not over yet!
Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has done the right thing and stated that Bill 24 is on hold - it may be changed or withdrawn. He is going to do a whirligig of consulting over the next couple of weeks. This is going to be a critical moment that everybody must participate in.
For the record, this is not the way to govern. Consultation should be done before tabling a bill....but now we are here.
Minister Bill Bennett tried to get away with something deceitful in this province. Under the cover of a phony "core review" he conjured up a mandate to destroy the ALR. Bill 24 opened a back door to remove land from 90% of the ALR for any 'prescribed reason'.
If the government wants to change critical legislation to improve how BC protects agricultural land and strengthens agriculture it must be transparent and consultative.
Minister Bennett's approach was the opposite of that.
In my opinion, the only option is to kill Bill 24.
It's not time to stand down, it's time to fight harder until we get official word that the people of BC won this fight.

cara instal crack windows 8 pro OPEC's Pain Point
pobierz crack do gta sa chomikuj.pl International oil prices increased following cuts in oil production in January, but the market has rigidly demonstrated that it remains too complex to be manipulated by just removing a limited number of barrels.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries was established to coordinate and unify petroleum policies among member countries. Today its control over oil supply is threatened by market forces in the true sense of the word. These forces have encouraged OPEC to join non-OPEC producers to retake control of the oil market. However it seems that the joint move is not producing the desired results.
When OPEC and non-members decided to cut production for six months to reduce ballooning global crude oil inventories, many expected to see the inventories a thing of the past. Even though Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf Arab states have implemented the cuts, the inventories are still hanging around. OPEC policy became less effective when the United States stepped up its production. There is talk among OPEC and the other parties to the rare agreement to extend the cuts into the second half of 2017. However it is simply not clear if that too will bring down inventories and push prices up.
True, OPEC has achieved 70% of the projected cuts. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and Kuwait have reduced their production significantly. It also is true that non OPEC producers are implementing 37% of the cuts, reducing the weight and effectiveness of the cuts.
kashi cheddar crackers nutrition However it seems many overestimated the effectiveness of the cuts in the first place. Not every government can promise to reduce oil production. In free market economies governments are not constitutionally authorized to make such pledges. Thus as OPEC and some non-members reduce oil production, their moves encourage others to increase output.
The US, Iran, Libya and Nigeria are among countries that have actually increased their production. For all practical purposes, the oil market has become more competitive and more complicated since OPEC was born. No country or for the matter group of countries can determine its equilibrium anymore.
It is easy to see why some countries in the Persian Gulf are willing to extend cuts into the second half of this year. Exporting hydrocarbons provides more than half of their revenue. The sharp drop in oil prices has made many of them vulnerable to fiscal risks, not to mention the possibility of social upheavals, with Saudi Arabia being the most exposed.
These Arab governments want higher oil prices to reduce their fiscal risk and plug gaping holes in their national budgets. However as they cut production, other producers, visibly encouraged by rising oil prices, try to replace them in some form or fashion. Some countries may continue to cut production, but overall production is on the rise.
Since December 2016 the rig count in the US has increased by 17%. According to Dallas Federal Reserve Permian rig count is at its highest level since April 2015. The temporary increase in oil prices helped many American producers to lock in higher prices through hedging. If anything OPEC cuts seem to have guaranteed an increase in oil production in the world's number one economy. Thus, the cuts would fail to increase oil prices as much as some countries would have anticipated.
The news is particularly alarming for the Saudis now preparing the government-owned Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Aramco) for a public offering in stock markets across the world in 2018. Lower oil inventories, higher crude prices and reducing supply to create a new equilibrium in the global market would increase the value of Aramco, while reducing the risk of investing in the company.
Market forces, however, have doctrines and directions of their own and cannot be dictated anymore. The time has come for OPEC policymakers to realize that even acting successfully as a key player is simply not enough to tame oil markets.

So, we actually went ahead and checked out a new place last night.
The initial plan was to take a look at a group of sims each called "Staging LR x", with "x" being a number from 1 to 12, which caught my attention when I was looking at the map:
(Click for larger — 1121x1393 KiB JPEG, 212 KiB)
Unfortunately, it turned out these were sealed off and not accessible to the general public. I sort of expected that given their names, but still, I would've been curious to see what they contained. DDG doesn't reveal a lot about them; Tyche Shepherd's gridsurvey reveals they've existed for over a year, though, so obviously someone's paying for them.
I wonder what "LR" might stand for, too. "Linden Realms" somehow immediately popped into my mind; I was ready to cast it aside as pure speculation, but perhaps there is some merit to it. In any case, if these are Linden-owned, it'd explain why someone's got kept a dozen sims for over a year without opening them to the public; it would've been a significant expense if they had been privately-owned.
Anyhow! The place we ACTUALLY went to in the end was called the FutureWork Institute; it sounded interesting, and turned out to be a rather nice place. We didn't explore for very long, and I didn't take as many screenshots as I might otherwise, but there's still a couple, so you get them behind a cut.
The first one (up above) is pretty much what I saw when I first arrived (after everything had loaded, anyway). The entire sim seemed very well-built; finished and polished and done by someone who knew a thing or two about good design, pleasant and with plenty of space.
One of the first things I took a look at was a handy map:
(Click for larger — 1920x1033 PNG, 2218 KiB)
Clicking on the various marks will teleport you there.
(Click for larger — 1920x1033 PNG, 2192 KiB)
The general area with the map looked nice, too. I'm not sure if those were blossoming cherry trees, but either way they were pretty.
(Click for larger — 1920x1033 PNG, 2579 KiB)
There were a couple of sculptures scattered about the area that looked interesting, not to mention mathematical. The first one can actually be seen in the screenshot at the top; it was called "Spore", and the creator was one Seifert Surface.
Wait. Seifert surface? That sounded familiar, and the look of that sculpture had me thinking that it might be some sort of mathematical surface, anyway (it vaguely reminded me of the ones that used to be featured on SuSE Linux boxes — here's a gallery of some newer ones, and here and here are photos of older boxes from the mid-1990s).
The sculpture in the screenshot above was a different kind, but also mathematical in nature: a plot of z=xy. You can easily see here how it's basically formed by two parables, facing away from each other and rotated by 90°, meeting at their minimum/maximum. :)
(Click for larger — 1920x1033 PNG, 2380 KiB)
Here's another sculpture. This one was called "Twisted Chain"; I thought it had a vaguely Klein-bottlish feel to it, but I really don't know much about topology and surfaces.
(Click for larger — 1920x1033 PNG, 2247 KiB)
After looking at these, I was curious about the platform up on them thar hills, too. Can you spot me in this picture?
(Click for larger — 1920x1033 PNG, 2329 KiB)
My initial plan was to find the "natural" way up there, but then I ended up flying after all.
(Click for larger — 1920x1033 PNG, 2128 KiB)
And it turned out that there was a nice quiet area up there, good for sitting down and relaxing.
I'm sure this won't be my last visit to this sim, either. I really enjoyed the pleasant, competent building, not to mention the fact it was nice and quiet, so I'll be back (and probably take more screenshots as well).

Abstract
When young children are exposed to picture books, they are building important bridges to literacy. Picture books are sometimes defined as a storybook with a dual narrative. That is, the illustrations and text work interdependently, the integration of the visual and the verbal tell the story. The illustrations add a new dimension that extends beyond the words on the page; together, the text and pictures make the story stronger. A well crafted picture book is a feast for the eyes of a young child. The illustrations awaken and develop the child’s visual, mental, and verbal imagination.

(Tim White’s cover for the 1980 edition)
3.25/5 (Vaguely Good)
“Turn and look behind you, reader. Can you see the crater now? It is wide, round, magnificent; within it shimmers a sea of air above a sea of dust. Almost a million human beings live within this titanic hole, this incredible crater, this single staring eye in the face of an empty planet” (119).
In my youth naval history and fiction transfixed: from the capture of the Spanish Xebec El Gamo by Lord Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald to C. S. Forester’s Horatio Hornblower sequence, inspired in part by Lord Cochrane’s career. I assessed each novel and memoir on whether or not I felt like I was on a sea-going vessel, holding the ropes in calloused hands, trapped belowdeck in a storm, yanking the lanyard on a cannon’s gunlock… With a dictionary of naval terms on my desk, I looked up each and every reference, memorized the cross-sections of frigates and the intricacies of the chain of command. I recoiled with grim fascination as Hornblower–fresh off the harrowing loss of the HMS Sutherland and desperate to escape the French countryside–peers at Lieutenant Bush’s amputated leg and checks the inserted cloth wads that soak up the leaking puss.
Bruce Sterling’s Involution Ocean (1977) draws on the naval tradition, transposed into a SF future, although it is more exploration à la Darwin and the HMS Beagle than combat à la Horatio Hornblower and the HMS Hotspur. Inspired by Melville’s Moby-Dick; or, The Whale (1851), Involution Ocean tells the tale of John Newhouse’s search for Nullaquan dustwales, the “only source of the drug syncophine” (23), across a vast dust ocean at the bottom of a crater.
Harlan Ellison’s hyperbolic and self-aggrandizing introduction aside, Sterling fails to evoke the feel of a voyage of exploration. There are intriguing touches–Newhouse’s motivation ostensibly derives from his drug addiction spurred by a traumatic upbringing. Ultimately Involution Ocean doesn’t feel confident enough (Sterling was 21 when he wrote it!) to unveil in any concrete manner the mysteries of the planet but rather dumps the “reveal” via an extended descent into the metaphysical. This does not mesh with what was a love story married to a voyage of scientific exploration. This rather tepid critique aside (some authors could pull it off), Sterling’s imagery shifts between articulate visions of decay (a stranded ship slowly overrun with bird guano) to painfully saccharine symbols of Newhouse’s emotional unrest: “after some thought I settled on a large broken heart as my own motif” (35).
I place Involution Ocean in the same league [nautical pun not intended] as Michael Moorcock’s The Ice Schooner (1969). Both are nautical adventure tales set in unusual worlds. Both connect the necessary dots but do not generate memorable voyages. Fans of 70s adventure SF, albeit with an unusual narrator, will be entertained.
Analysis/Plot Summary
We all have some emptiness in our lives, an emptiness that some fill with art, some with God, some with learning. I have always filled emptiness with drugs” (23).
John Newhouse sets off from his house of drug addicts in Highisle, Nullaqua’s largest city (23), to track down his own supply of syncophine after a Confederation-wide ban on the narcotic. Derived from the oil of dustwhales, he joins a whaling crew with fellow addict Calothrick on the Lunglance as a cook under the command of aged and mysterious Captain Desperandum .
Hunting whales the edges of the dust ocean at the bottom of Nullaqua’s only inhabitable area, a 70 mile-deep crater, Captain Desperandum has ulterior scientific motives: “But there are lots of little questions that nag at my mind. What causes currents in the dust? How deep is it? What lives down there, what kind of scavengers? How do they find their food without sight or echo location? How do they breathe? It’s the very opacity of the sea that infuriates […] I can’t see into it” (43).
Newhouse also falls in love with the tormented bat alien Dalusa, who serves as Lunglace‘s lookout. In her people’s encounter with humans, she witnesses the carnage and desires to be transformed under the knife into the semblance of a human woman. However, she remains horrifically allergic to the barest human touch. Both Newhouse and Dalusa, two tormented souls, grow to love each other despite their own “sadomasochistic qualities” (62).
Adding to the mystery, the Lunglance possesses a hidden room in its hold that Newhouse is unable to open. Although the voyage is ostensibly to hunt dustwhales, Desperandum takes the crew to more dangerous regions.
The world of Nullaqua is the most fascinating element of the book–a planet with little atmosphere, almost all of it settling in the deep crater. The dust oceans, inhabited by strange fauna, holds its secrets tight in dark depths. Desperandum and Newhouse, outsiders on the planet, encounter the views of Nullaquan natives, who are descended from a small group of religious fanatics who believe in maintaining an unchanging world. Everyone has their traumas and murky pasts. Will anyone be able to escape their constraints? Will the planet give up its secrets?

I wouldn’t mind a copy of that Tim White cover, and I do enjoy Sterling, but it sounds a bit too early in his career…
I remember enjoying Islands in the Net (1988). But, 1980s covers! hah. This one by Don Bolognese….
That is one sweet 80s computer head!
I’ve got a copy of the Tim White cover of Involution Ocean, but the first version of this I read looked this:
That cover correctly depicts the cliffs! I can’t remember if we discussed it before, but, did you enjoy the novel?
I think Robert Andre’s 1980 German edition cover does evoke the “feel” of the novel, although, the cliffs are non-existent!
The Andre cover reminds me of old school Martian landscapes.
I always preferred the uncredited (?) pic with the cliffs to the Page cover simply for its mysterious “accuracy”.
As to the words… I like the novel enough to read it twice possibly three times way back around 1990/91. I’m a bit of a sucker for exploration/quest stories, and I found the pathetic anti hero to my taste at the time, as far as I can recall through the mists of time. Maybe time to dust it off for my traditional once in 25 years read through!
Unfortunately I don’t know the artist of the Legend edition cover.
Three times?! Wow, the narrator must really have appealed or something. At least he does see the light in some ways by the end…
I’m pretty sure this cover art is by Mick Van Houten. Quite lovely too.
You’re probably right. I google searched some of his art and the styles are VERY similar.
Have you read the book?
Yes. Enjoyed it immensely.
I snagged a copy of Sterling’s The Artificial Kid (1980) — hopefully I enjoy it more than Involution Ocean. Have you read it as well?
It is unfortunate your science fiction adventures (at least those documented on this blog 😉 ) are limited to the early 80s, nothing beyond. In Sterling’s case, for example, you get access only to his early, how shall I say, unpolished work. In the late 90s, but especially since the turn of the millennium, Sterling has come into his own, creating his own brand of sf satire. Should you ever decide to look beyond your current scope (at least publicly on the blog 😉 ), Sterling’s Distraction, Love Is Strange, Pirate Utopia, and The Caryatids are worth the time. That being said, there is still an early Sterling work, apparently about a young man who goes around filming himself for the entertainment of the masses with has a strong youtube vibe to it, that I haven’t read yet. Have you read The Artificial Kid (1980)?
Jesse, I have not read The Artificial Kid (1980) yet — seems bizarre and intriguing and my cup of tea. As I indicated in another comment, I did read his late 80s Islands In the Net (and which I quite enjoyed) and also Schismatrix (1985) (I remember little), so, I suspect I’ll explore more of his work at some other time.
Or maybe it was Schismatrix Plus (1996)… I seem to remember the cover (no longer have my copy). At the time I was unaware that it was in a sequence.
Schismatrix and Schismatrix Plus are the same thing, only the Plus version includes a handful of short stories Sterling had written in the setting. I personally am not enamored by the Schismatrix shorts, but I know some people are. Regardless, the novel Schismatrix is the best of the bunch, and is only “cyberpunk” at the thematic level, not at the bog standard, near-future, mega-corporation, direct human-machine technological interface, aesthetic level. It’s been a few years since I read Schismatrix, but I still have very strong visuals of certain scenes hanging around in my memory, which is not something I can say about a lot of books I’ve read…
I detect a sort of essentialism (addressed in my other comment) when it comes to your definition of cyberpunk. As I mentioned, perhaps we have a monolithic take due to the success of Neuromancer and various similar clones but in reality, many authors explored some of the thematic ideas in varying ways — Sterling and Rucker included. | https://sciencefictionruminations.com/2016/10/24/book-review-involution-ocean-bruce-sterling-1977/ | 2018-10-15T16:42:32 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

There’s been a lot of buzz around Watch the Sunset ahead of its world premiere at Luna Leederville last night (Tuesday 11 July); not least because the entire 82-minute movie is filmed in one continuous shot.
Screened as part of Revelation Perth International Film Festival, this is an emotionally raw, visceral thriller set in the dark, dangerous underworld of ice addicts and criminals.
Ex-con Danny (Tristan Barr – also co-director with Michael Gosden) is just out of prison and looking to reunite with his ex Sally and their daughter Jo. But as their reunion gets underway, angry criminals looking for revenge after Danny rescued a girl they were abusing snatch Jo from a playground. The climax is brutal and bloody, with a thrilling showdown set against the setting sun.
This is not a film for the faint hearted. It’s a rough, honest and open look at the brutal world of drugs, crime and power. The directors have taken a gamble by using the one-shot technique to film the entire thing in one take, but it works and to great effect.
The result is a film that is disturbingly real and leaves you feeling like you’re right in the heart of the action. To say that adds to the tension of the film is an understatement, there are points where you feel like you’re seeing this first hand. Hats off to the cameraman, who managed to capture this 82-minute shot while still creating some truly beautiful cinematography.
One thing is for sure, this is a film that will stay with you long after you leave the cinema. Barr and Gosden have created an original masterpiece, one that’s sure to endure.
Watch the Sunset will be screened at Luna SX on Thursday 13 July at 8:45pm and on Sunday 16 July at Luna Leederville also at 8:45pm. | https://scoop.com.au/Review-Watch-the-Sunset/ | 2018-10-15T18:20:24 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
I can’t quit you.
I know I told you that after running last year that I wasn’t going to again. But I need you.
After a difficult year of seeing people who have legitimate reasons for not running a marathon I quickly realized that my reason of not wanting to deal with sore muscles the next day was incredibly wimpy.
Back in January my mother told me she wanted me to run. I gave her every excuse of why I wasn’t. Then in February I almost lost her. I didn’t run the first week that she was in ICU because I thought something bad would happen when I was out running. Then I finally went running and she got taken off the ventilator. The next time I went running she got moved out of the ICU. In my mind, my running was helping her get better. I was so desperate at that time that I needed to believe that. What I really knew was that I had to stay healthy and strong to help her. Running was my outlet. I knew then that I would run you again NYC Marathon.
Training for you gave me something to focus on other than hospital visits, doctors, and nurses. It gave me a chance to cry, a chance to feel in control of something, and a chance to feel normal. I needed you to help me get through the most difficult time of my life.
So when we meet again on Sunday I will embrace you with everything I have and it will be with pure joy that I run your streets again. These streets will be ones that are having their own tough time right now due to Hurricane Sandy. We will remind the city about how much we need this event. We all need something to cheer now.
You have taken care of me these past two years and I know you will welcome me with open arms again. You will show me your love and remind me why I love you show much.
Love,
Stacey
P.S. But hey, could you do something to flatten out 5th Avenue?
I will be there cheering on spectators! I ran it last year and wish I could be running again, but I will be in 2013. Good luck!!! | https://scoopsontherun.com/2012/10/31/dear-ing-nyc-marathon-2/ | 2018-10-15T17:40:53 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
So as many of you know I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. Instead I try to set goals that try to accomplish throughout the year.
It has been slow going for me in getting focused on those goals so I’m going to do a “do over” and start fresh for the Chinese New Year. It’s ok, because my Chinese friend made me an honorary Chinese person for the occasion.
One of the goals has been to get back on track nutritionally but I’ve found myself getting into that horrible mindset of “I’ll start next week” or “I’ll start tomorrow.” I’m still waiting for next week and tomorrow to start. And, it’s just so much easier to order take out that is not at all healthy.
No more excuses, just get it going. Plus my fat shorts were less roomy yesterday. Man, if that won’t motivate you I don’t know what will!
So, the grocery order with real food has been placed. I’m going to get back in the kitchen, something I love to do by the way, and start cooking those healthy nutritionally sound meals. That 10 inch chef’s knife has been lonely and we’re going to have regular date nights now.
Another great motivator was an advanced screening of the new Disney move, McFarland USA. It’s based on the true story of how a high school cross country team in a migrant farm worker town got its start. Today it is one of the top cross country teams in California.
When you see how hard those kids worked by starting their days picking produce, going to school, picking more produce, and then having their coached workouts after you quickly realize that your lack of commitment, dedication, and motivation sucks. Plus, if Danny the chubby kid can climb up a hill and pass a bunch of runners then we all certainly can do the same.
I don’t have the excuse of an injury anymore, just that I need to take care of my foot to make sure it doesn’t get hurt again and the reality is it won’t get hurt again by the simple act of running. I don’t have an excuse for not eating right and I simply don’t have excuses for not running when it’s cold outside because I have access to a treadmill, and a trainer for my bike, and my Deep Water Running classes.
I’ve already been more consistent running and training this past week than I have in the past two months. Now I need to reinforce that and my honorary Chinese status is giving me that little motivation, oh and Danny the chubby kid is too.

Topic Page: Surfing
the sport in which one paddles a surfboard out over the surf, and then, usually standing on the board, attempts to ride on or with a wave towards the shore; surfboard riding.
Plural: surfings
bodysurfing , surfings
Surfing is a surface water sport in which the participant is carried along the face of a breaking wave. Usually, an elongated surfboard is used to ride the wave, but shorter kneeboards and bodyboards can also be used. Originally developed in ancient Polynesia, surfing became a popular recreation in America during the mid-20th century and subsequently spread around the world. The rising popularity of surfing saw the introduction of professional competitions and the rise of a multibillion-dollar industry producing surfboards and surfing-related fashions and accessories. Distinctive lifestyles and subcultures also developed around surfing and surfers, with their own attitudes, codes of behavior, and folk heroes.
Surfing originated in ancient Polynesian societies, where it was deeply embedded in religion, myth, and culture. By the early 20th century, however, only a small number of people continued to surf, mainly at Waikiki Beach in Hawaii. Yet interest in the sport began to grow during the 1900s. Beginning in 1912, Duke Kahanamoku, a Hawaiian Olympic swimmer, began to popularize the sport on the United States mainland and in Australia. Subsequently, surfing developed as an integral part of beach life, especially in California, where Malibu Beach in Los Angeles county lent its name to the long, heavy, wooden “Malibu” surfboards (up to 15 feet in length) favored by surfers at that time.
From the 1920s to the 1940s, surfing was popular among a fraternity of hardy participants (many of whom were lifeguards) on the American West Coast. It was during the late 1950s, however, that the sport underwent exponential growth. This was partly because of a revolution in surfboard design and manufacture. The introduction of new materials such as polyurethane foam and fiberglass allowed the introduction of shorter and more lightweight surfboards. Longboards remained popular, but the introduction of shortboards (which averaged 6 feet 6 inches in length) allowed surfers to achieve faster speeds and make tighter turns and quicker maneuvers. This not only radically changed the way people surfed but also significantly increased the appeal of the sport.
As Drew Kampion, an author of several books on surfing and former editor of Surfer magazine, stated, “Surfing is the simple act of walking on water,” and the history of surfing is “the sum total of all waves ever ridden.”
By the late 1950s, a discernable surfing culture was taking shape. Along the Los Angeles and Orange County coastlines, an army of young surfers loaded their boards onto their “woodies” (wooden-paneled station wagons that represented the surfer's quintessential transport) and set out to pit their skills against the waves at a host of evocatively named surfing spots—Zuma Beach, Paradise Cove, The Wedge, Doheny, Mile Zero, Trestles, and many more. Surfing also grew in popularity along the American East Coast, Hawaii, Australia, and South Africa.
The growth of surfing was part of a general expansion of leisure industries geared to the teenage market during the 1950s and 1960s. During the early 1960s, especially, surfing developed into a major teenage pastime. The growing popularity of the sport was galvanized by the release of numerous movies with a surfing theme—for example, Gidget (1959) and Beach Party (1963)—and the success of surfing-oriented pop songs released by pop groups such as the Beach Boys and Jan and Dean.
In their celebration of an idealized teenage lifestyle of beaches, cars, and romance, these movies and records helped popularize surfing well beyond the American West Coast and, by the mid-1960s, surfing was an established component of global youth style.
From the late 1960s through to the early 21st century, surfing continued to grow in worldwide popularity. With the emergence of an international circuit of professional surfing competitions, the sport developed into a major commercial business. Surfwear also emerged as a popular style of casual clothing, and manufacturers of surf-related clothing such as Billabong, Quicksilver, and Rip Curl became major fashion brands whose appeal extended far beyond the surfing community.
Some enthusiasts, however, have disassociated themselves from the commercial aspects of surfing. These “soul surfers,” as they are often called, pursue the sport purely for personal enjoyment, and many claim to find spiritual fulfillment through the thrilling experience of riding a breaking wave.

Well, here it is – the Final Friday for September! Today marks a New Moon in Libra, which also happens to be your astrological sign if you have a birthday today.
I have a few things percolating in my mind this morning, so I’ll just toss them out here so that I can clear it! I need fewer distractions in the upcoming weeks, as I plan on doing the NaNoWriMo thing this year – so I want to clear out the dust and cobwebs that are cluttering my poor brain!
Ah, the so-called ‘undecided’ voters…they make me laugh! Seriously, you expect me to believe that you’re still undecided about who to vote for? Yeah, right – hey, if you’re not going to vote, then that’s fine…just quit talking about it if you have no intention on doing so. Otherwise, get out there and vote for whomever you wish – just vote, damnit…VOTE! Bitch about shit the morning of 9 November. Until then, STFU. A lot of people are pretty freakin’ tired of hearing lame excuses on all sides!
Speaking of politics, though, I can safely say that I’m glad to live in Washington State. I’d be cringing in shame if I resided in Maine! Well, actually I wouldn’t, because I wouldn’t have voted for Paul LePage – so his moronic nonsense wouldn’t be my fault. I actually look at the voting records, background, and other pertinent information about politicians from multiple, LEGITIMATE sources…not tabloid bullshit or whacked-out conspiracy theories. A politician’s voting record is relatively easy to find.
Last thing: I registered to vote on my 18th birthday. However, I’ve been politically aware since the age of 10. The school I attended did many mock debates and elections from 5th grade on up, and encouraged us kids to pay attention to politics. Some people out there assume that I know nothing about politics, and have told me so…the non-reasons they gave are beyond laughable, to me!
Next, just a teeny-tiny criticism: people who have no “Like” buttons on their blogs. I fail to understand why they don’t seem to want their posts “Liked,” yet have a comment section which allows for comments to be “Liked.” There are at least five blogs that I follow that don’t have that little “Like” button…I wonder, why the hell not? Why don’t you want readers to “Like” your posts? Inquiring minds want to know, LOL!
Last, but certainly not least – today marks a fairly sad milestone. It has now been 900 days since the 276 girls were kidnapped, at gunpoint, from that school in Chibok, Nigeria by the terrorist group Boko Haram. The lack of coverage about them is shameful, to say the least. Many people out there rail against abductions – but are mysteriously silent when queried about these specific girls.
900 days. Let that number sink in, if you will. 900 days. There are 1,095 days in three years; 1,096 if you count a Leap Year, so these girls have been away from their families and loved ones for nearly three years. I can’t imagine the grief and heartache involved in wondering, daily, where your child is. Imagining the worst, because you know what the abductors are capable of.
900 days.
#BringBackOurGirls
I’ll close with three songs – why? Because it’s Friday, that’s why! Enjoy the tunes…and have a great day and weekend, all.

These days anyone in Germany who is a fan of Reinhard Mey, one of their great performers, must be thinking of his 1997 song “Narrenschiff” (Ship of Fools) as they gaze across the Atlantic at what was once the United States of America. Mey is one of those rarities: a poet who can also write his own music, sing his own songs, and powerfully deliver either a personal or political message. What Georges Brassens did for France, Mey is doing for Germany.
I’m not sure what was going on politically in Germany in 1997 to get Mey so steamed up, but this song really packs a punch today. It’s about a ship full of idiotic passengers more interested in partying and money than in getting somewhere safely. They ignore the high seas outside and are focused only on the high life on board. The crew is even worse. The chorus goes like this (it’s better in rhyming couplets of course):
The helmsman is a liar, the captain is drunk
And the engineer has sunk into a dull stupor
The crew, pure lying scoundrels,
The radioman too cowardly to send an SOS,
The Klabautermann is steering the Ship of Fools:
Full speed ahead and set course for the reef!
Now, this Klabautermann (Hobgoblin) is an interesting guy in German folklore. He’s a kind of invisible water spirit of the Baltic who can be quite amusing at times. He sometimes helps sailors in distress, but if you ever actually see him, the legends say, your vessel is doomed.
The ship is full of pimps, money launderers, and slot-machine barons (casino-builders!) on their way to a “treasure island”,
…..where even the president
Has lost his shame and doesn’t hesitate
To adorn his entourage with the tax dodger.
So much of this song applies to the Trump administration and Donald Trump in particular, it’s really uncanny:
And smug old men strut around brashly
On the upper deck with ladies who are always much too young
Who warm their flabby limbs and chew their food for them
Mey wrote this song as a warning. All of us have the capacity to blind ourselves to what’s going on around us to an incredible degree. He could have been writing about global warming, or speculation on Wall Street, or our culture in general with its overemphasis on buying stuff and good times. Too many of us are ignoring the signs:
The lookout calls from the highest mast: Endtime in sight!
But it’s like they’re turned to stone and they don’t hear him
They follow like lemmings in hordes, their wills gone,
It’s as if everyone had lost their reason
Sworn themselves to destruction and decay
And a will-o’-the-wisp has become their guiding light. | https://sevensacramentsforeveryone.wordpress.com/2017/07/15/the-perfect-song-for-the-trump-administration-ship-of-fools-narrenschiff/ | 2018-10-15T18:19:18 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Carlsberg SWPL Division 1 East Saturday 29th October 2016
The Vikings were dealt two major blows on the morning of the game with goal keeper Jack Burgess (a fireman) having to withdraw due to work commitments and new signing Dexter Booth having to delay his debut due to a foot infection. Sidmouth called in former Sidbury Utd goalkeeper Jamie Harvey to replace Burgess and 2nd teamer Matt Ogley to replace Booth.
From the 1st whistle Stoke were relentless but found the back four of Sidmouth in good form and expertly supported by Harvey who went on to put in a man of the match performance. Stokes 1st goal on the 25th minute had a touch of fortune about it, from a corner kick the ball fell to Sidmouth’s Dan Evans who was guarding the back post, inexplicitly Evans made a complete hash of his clearance and volleyed past the stranded Harvey. This was a bitter blow for the Vikings who had defended well up to this point. The goal saw the visitors raise their game even more and they soon found the 2nd after some tremendous wing play.
Halftime 0 – 2
Sidmouth started the second half really well and asked the away defence some serious questions, however the visitors stood firm and this enabled them to frustrate the greens and hit them twice on the break with un-earing pace and power. On the 65th minute Sidmouth introduced young Ogley who rose to the occasion in central midfield demonstrating some excellent passing skills and some tenacious tackling that really caught the eye. Stoke continued to press and only exceptional goalkeeping from Harvey and last ditch tackles from Jamie Newbery saved the Vikings from a ‘right old hammering’.
On the day Sidmouth played quite well but found Stoke Gabriel far too strong, with Manager Josh Stunell commenting “whoever finishes higher than Stoke Gabriel will win the league in my opinion. In my three seasons in charge at the club two teams have been far too good, the Uni side two seasons ago and this lot today, fair play to them”
Sidmouth from: Harvey, White, Newbery (C), Clampin, Wellman, Evans, Jones, Antat, Binion, Burrows & Densham. Used Subs: Dobinson, Ogley & Badcott.

I only have 200 miles on these new motorhome tires, but I'm pleased with them. They provide a bit harder ride than the Michelins I had before, but I changed brands because of the sidewall cracking I got on the Michelins even though I kept them covered. The Yokohama's were listed at the Yokohama website as tires for delivery vans and 18-wheeler trailers, but when I asked Yokohama, they wrote back and said they were also recommended for motorhomes as well. The experience with Simple Tire was terrific! They shipped them right to a local tire store (Purcell Tire in Tucson) that specialized in big truck and bus tires. The place that Camping World sent their tires for mounting and balancing. It cost about $430 to have them mounted and balanced (all six) and the old tires disposed of. I checked the dates and found they had been manufactured within the last year. Couldn't have been easier.
Put these on a 2000 Holiday Rambler Endivor diesel pusher, we are on many different types of roads but mostly highways these tires handle excellent our last trip we left it was -9 degrees and 2 foot of snow no problem so far so good we keep out speed around 65 MPH very happy with this purchase
I purchased this set of tires in the spring of 17, have 3700 miles plus on them now. Very satisfied with them and just bought 7th tire for a spare. I recommend them and simpletire service.
Can not comment on the tread wear or winter driving yet but real happy with these tires. Nice and quite driving and hold road very well. Much better ride than the Michelins I took off. Priced right and real fast delivery from Simple Tire.
Simple tire was super fast on my delivery of Yokohama RY103 to my shop, and price was very reasonable. They on my RV steer axle and perform excellent, handles good, rides smooth and are quiet.
Very happy with my purchase. Tires are on an 38.5 ft. RV pulling a 30 ft. stacker trailer. Comfort, ride, noise and handling not an issue.
These tires are great, half the price of other tires and as good or better performance
Been on for about 800 miles. So far so goodBy submitting a review, each person received a sweepstakes entry. | https://simpletire.com/yokohama-ry103-tire-reviews | 2018-10-15T16:46:55 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Circumcision Information
It is impossible to talk about foreskin restoration without also talking about circumcision. I can’t think of any better argument against circumcision than to listen to the many men who are currently restoring their foreskin, or have successfully restored their foreskin. Many of these men feel betrayed by their parents and doctors who removed their healthy foreskin for no reason. Questions that are often asked by restoring men are:
Why did my parents allow my foreskin to be amputated?
Why did doctors remove a healthy part of my body?
Aren’t my parents and doctors supposed to protect me from harm?
If you’re thinking about circumcising your son, just ask yourself if you want him to grow up to ask the above questions.
Here are some video that you might want to look at if you're thinking about circumcising your son.

Penile Cancer
Penile cancer has been used to justify circumcision. In the United States the rate of penile cancer is 0.1%. This is a very rare cancer and doesn't justify cutting off the foreskin.

55
10% Professional Development If the LEA is identified for improvement. May include any teachers that serve Title I students at some point during the day Title I funds cannot be used to pay for professional development of staff who do not serve any Title I students at some point during the school day. Ray Simon guidance letter (2004) Question: Include teachers who do not serve any Title I students if there is no additional cost to the Title I program? 55 Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC

If No % Specified Necessary and reasonable amount Example: Administration Government Accountability Office found national average is around 10% Example: Homeless Shelter counts Match McKinney-Vento subgrant 57 Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC
58
Maintenance of Effort Most Directly Affected by Declining Budgets 58 Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC
59
MOE The combined fiscal effort per student or the aggregate expenditures of the LEA From State and local funds From preceding year must not be less than 90% of the second preceding year 59 Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC
60
MOE: Preceding Fiscal Year Need to compare final financial data Compare immediately PFY to second PFY EX: To receive funds available July 2009, compare 2007-08 school year to 2006- 07 school year 60 Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC
61
MOE: Failure under NCLB 61 SEA must reduce amount of allocation in the exact proportion by which LEA fails to maintain effort below 90% Reduce all applicable NCLB programs, not just Title I Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC
62
MOE: Waiver USDE Secretary may waive if: Exceptional or uncontrollable circumstances, such as natural disaster OR Precipitous decline in financial resources of the LEA 62 Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC

ED Waivers To State to Grant to LEAs 63 Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC
64
Comparability How is this calculated and why does it matter? Legal Authority: Title I Statute: §1120A(c) 64 Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC
65
General Rule - §1120A(c) An LEA may receive Title I, Part A funds only if it uses State and local funds to provide services in Title I schools that, taken as a whole, are at least comparable to the services provided in non-Title I schools. If all are Title I schools, all must be substantially comparable. 65 Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC
66
Timing Issues Guidance: Must be annual determination YET, LEAs must maintain records that are updated at least biennially (1120A(c)(3)(B)) Review for current year and make adjustments for current year 66 Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC
67
Supplement Not Supplant Surprisingly Not Greatly Affected by Declining Budgets! 67 Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC
68
Supplement Not Supplant Federal funds must be used to supplement, and in no case supplant, State and local resources 68 Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC
69
What would have happened in the absence of the federal funds?? 69 Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC
70
Auditors Tests for Supplanting OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement 70 Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC
71
Auditors presume supplanting occurs if federal funds were used to provide services... Required to be made available under other federal, state, or local laws Paid for with non-federal funds in prior year Same service to non-Title I students with State/local funds 71 Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC

2 Media, lawyers, government immunity eroded

Where we are today? : Captions of Cases Pool Drain Case Settled for $30.9 Million Fall Off Jungle Gym: $500,000 Settlement Deaf Lifeguard Sues for $20 Million Failure to Warn Results in $3,500,000 Injured Student Sues for $52 Million: Awarded $13 Million Average injury award is over $1.5 Million How can we explain this?
4
Q&A What has wrought these changes? Some say society has lost sight of responsibility, everyone is looking for someone else to blame Positive Outcome: more attention to safe practices and focus on how we treat people Playgrounds, called games, bomb threat High standard of care In loco parentis = in place of the parent(s)
5
Legal Framework Laws are like living organisms, they change and adapt over time Kinds of law – what are there? Common Law = Case Law Precedence serves to create boundaries for future cases Statutory Law Passed by legislative bodies Adopted by all forms of government Constitutional Law – embodied by United States Constitution
6
United States Constitution Amendment One Freedom of Religion, of Speech, and of the Press.
7
United States Constitution Amendment Four Security from Unwarrantable Search and Seizure.
8
United States Constitution Amendment Ten Powers Reserved to States or People)
9
Law 101 Types of courts U.S. Supreme Court Federal Courts of Appeal Federal District Courts State Courts Court of Claims Court of Military Appeals Court of International Trade
10
Law 101 Types of cases: Civil case (tort case) - A tort is a civil action brought by one party against another to redress some wrong committed by the party being sued (the defendant) against the party suing (the plaintiff). Burden of proof is not as high, often monetary compensation Torts go through the state courts Criminal case - A crime is punishable by loss of liberty or life and is brought by the government against a defendant for violation of that government's laws. Various levels of severity (drug, violent, white color, etc) Recall the OJ case?
11
Law 101 Civil Law – a tort (legal action) can be brought for acts of omission (failure to act) or commission (acting improperly) Negligence – failure to act as a reasonably prudent person would under the same circumstances Nonfeasance – failure to do what is required Misfeasance – doing something incorrectly Malfeasance – doing something illegal Legal terms for O&A
12
Law 101 Four questions courts use to determine negligence 1. Duty – did one person owe a duty to another? 2. Breach – did that person failure to exercise that duty? 3. Harm – was a person actually injured? 4. Cause – was the failure to exercise due care the direct or proximate cause of the injury?
13
Negligence Definition - failure to act with the prudence that a reasonable person would exercise under the same circumstances From wordnet.princeton.edu
14
Defenses for Negligence One of the elements missing No duty, no breach of duty, cause could not be established, no injury, just accident Contributory Negligence Comparative Negligence Assumption of Risk Act of God Immunity
15
Contributory Negligence Was the plaintiff at all at fault, or contributed to accident? The older the student, the easier to show contributory negligence, should have appreciated the danger of situation
16
Comparative Negligence Court will divide responsibility among the parties involved Assessment of negligence on either side EXAMPLE: If $100,00 and plaintiff is 40% at fault, then will get $60,000 Arnold vs. Riddell regarding football helmet C4/C5 spinal fracture after helmet to helmet collision. Shock attenuation system was defective.
17
Assumption of Risk Inherent and Unfortunate VS Unacceptable Persons have a duty to use reasonable care to avoid injury to others and may be held liable if their careless conduct injures Yet, what was the role of the injured and the nature of sport? Regents of the University of CA vs. Roettgen Student killed on a rock climbing trip. The Regents was determined to have acted properly
18
Act of God If lightening strikes without any warning Beyond the control of anybody Unpredictable, uncontrollable acts of nature Could the defense of an act of God be used for a coach who continued to practice in a thunderstorm? Football recess story Good Samaritan Laws Giving first aid (dont do things not trained for) Different laws among states
19
Damages Compensatory damages are compensation for actual losses (e.g., medical bills, lost wages, court costs) while punitive damages are monetary awards to punish the defendants (i.e., persons being sued) for wrongful actions and to deter such actions in the future
20
Most basic responsibility of teachers is to properly supervise students. That means number one, being there. Number two, attending to your students and not for example, creating a practice plan for your team What about if an office staff worker comes to the gym during a 2 nd grade lesson on body parts and tells you there is an urgent call in the office? NEVER EVER leave your students unsupervised, you wont have a leg to stand on. Preventing Negligence – 1) Supervision
21
1) Supervision Supervision is more than just being present Monitor and keep activities within the skill level of individual students (differentiated instruction) Keep students from participating in unsafe activities Enforce class and safety rules Keep records and be aware of student health status (particularly IEPs) Provide spotting and other specific supervision in activities of elevate risk such as gymnastics and wrestling
22
1) Supervision More suggestions More dangerous an activity, the closer specific supervision should be Very close supervision is needed when athletes are performing a skill for the first time Learn to recognize and prevent excessive aggression If a student is being bullied repeatedly by another student, it is your responsibility to intervene. If all of a sudden the bullied student snaps, and punches the other unconscious, you may be partially (contributory) liable. The case would rely on documentation and eye witness accounts. Establish stop signals
23
1) Supervision Supervision varies with: Age and maturity Amount of risk Skill level Preparation of students (1 st day, prior experiences?) What about the locker room? Privacy v. supervision? Case from text
24
1) Supervision General = all areas and activities related to the game or activity I had an administrator explain my areas of supervision as whatever my eyes see and do not see Specific = the actual game or activity
25
1) Supervision Supervision also means allowing others to see you act as a reasonable and prudent professional Advise against, especially for male teachers, being alone with a student (office, equipment room, etc). In such instances, it is your word against yours. Either way you will lose, if not legally, personally. At the minimum, leave the door open Totally fictitious claims have been brought against teachers due to attractions, grades, and malice.
26
1) Supervision Neal vs. Fayette County Board of Education 5 th Grade PE Basketball Unit Case: Partially amputated finger while dunking b-ball during class. Sued on basis that 2 students previously were injured, claiming hoop was defective and dangerous, as well as not properly supervised Ruling: Court ruled for the school. The two previous cases did not prove hoop was defective and also, the teachers warned students not to dunk
27
Duty to teach appropriate techniques, properly, and include safety rules. Always remember the mantra of reasonable and prudent Failure to Instruct - relates to: Skills and Techniques Methodology Planning, lessons, rules, facilities, equipment Duty to Warn (if applicable) Knowledge of risks and benefits of activity Preventing Negligence – 2) Instruction
28
Understanding of Safety Concerns
29
2) Instruction Additional Suggestions Progression of skill development Levels 1-5 Correct the incorrect Dont ignore, rotate giving feedback If a reasonable and prudent PE teacher would have corrected the mistake, you will likely lose the lawsuit Risk of activity should match the skill level and training of instructor Dont get in over your head Use proper and safe equipment including safety devices (masks, helmets, etc) Sufficient space Dont force a student to perform an activity in which they are clearly uncomfortable (adventure?) Dont use exercise as a punishment
30
Match and Mismatch Pairing of individuals or groups without regard to: Age Height Weight Skill Maturity Mental State/Disability Experience Counting off may not be appropriate in some instances Example: steal the bacon 2) Instruction Additional Suggestions
31
Match/Mismatch:. 2) Instruction Additional Suggestions
32
Preventing Negligence 3) Equipment & Facilities Plan for periodic inspections and keep the records Report deficiencies (broken lock, warped floor, etc) Traceable manner such as email Advise students of dangers (wet floor) Lock facilities when not in use If a student gets into an empty gym and injures themselves, youre at fault
33
Keep up to date on current practices regarding facilities and equipment Soccer goal example r-goalposts-can-be-deadly-hazard r-goalposts-can-be-deadly-hazard Swimming pools Use lifeguards to decrease liability Wet grass outside Error on the side of caution 3) Equipment & Facilities
34
Attractive nuisance – dangerous situation that attracts the attention of youth Applicable to under 14 years old Why most playgrounds have a fence around them, why equipment is locked up… Facilities Checklist Tom Bowler Create and post rules/guidelines
38
Preventing Negligence 3) Equipment & Facilities Everett vs. Bucky Warren – Hockey helmets Ordered dangerous defective equipment When request students to purchase equipment and they do not – should not allow them to play. DUTY goes beyond just requesting... Must ensure they follow through...
39
Q&A Injuries WILL OCCUR on your watch, how can your school district prepare for them and prevent further injury once one has occurred 1) 2)
40
Q&A Preparation for an injury: Create a risk management plan Only addition would be the addition of a communication device such as a walkie-talkie or a cell phone (battery) Sample plan Instructions for creating a risk management plan Instructions for creating a risk management plan
41
If an Injury Occurs Summon help Provide first aid Two common errors is doing too little or too much Make sure CPR and First Aid credentials are up to date Its a good idea to have one person on staff who is a CPR and First Aid instructor Complete an injury report - exampleexample REMEMBER, THIS DOCUMENT CAN EASILY BE USED IN COURT!!!!!! Do immediately before the details become fuzzy
42
Sample Injuries from PE Act as reasonable & prudent professional Lack of supervision (Ithaca wall partition) Unanticipated performances (diss long jump) Equipment/facilities (pamper pole trapeze) Bee sting (boys club) Age appropriate activities (3 rd grade BB) W. Hartford Elem (VB standards, equipment on side) Trumbull (crash mat under cargo net) Chenango Forks (arrhythmia while swimming) SSW J. Rose (attendance) – keep records Other cases youve heard of?
43
Gym Teacher Sued by Injured Weightlifter A former student whose eye was injured by a broken exercise band has sued his gym teacher, reports the Richmond Register. The incident occurred during a high-school weightlifting class in 2007. According to the filing, the plaintiff claims that the teacher failed to supervise the student properly, or to keep the weightlifting equipment reasonably safe. The Richmond Register reported that the student was blinded in the left eye. Dodgeball – NYS example Sample Injuries from PE
44
By Marc Davis, The Virginian-Pilot TWO YEARS AGO, a 12-year-old girl was hit in the mouth with a baseball bat during gym class at Landstown Middle School in Virginia Beach. It was an accident. The girl was the catcher, but the teacher had not given her a mask. As the girl reached for a ball, the batter swung. The bat caught the catcher flush in the teeth. One tooth was knocked out. Six others were broken. After much dental work, the girl now has a bridge on her top teeth and four crowns below. Her parents, who had no health insurance, paid $8,587 to repair the damage.- schools-being-sued- schools-being-sued
45
Additional Cases Wrestling Football Golf
46
Liability Insurance May be included through the school district, the teachers union, or a national organization such as the NEA or AFT Often a collaboration between the districts teachers union and the national organization Private insurance: AAHPERD Examples: 1, 2, 3123
47
Liability Insurance Non-public school teachers (catholic schools, etc) often do NOT have employer or union provided liability insurance. Administrators – OFTEN carry additional insurance (more often cited in lawsuits) As a student teacher, you are insured by the CSU system.
48
Teacher Protection Act
49
Sexual Harassment Student to student sexual harassment CT Commissioners Report: plaintiff would have to establish that the school board had actual knowledge of the sexual harassment and was deliberately indifferent to the sexual harassment. CT Commissioners Report Result of 1999 Supreme Court Decision Sexual Harassment Handout for Students From State of CT Board of Ed Discrimination Free Schools Policy CT Commissioner of Ed.
50
Negligence & Coaching CT Coaching Competencies Extensive Required training 5 year renewable license NASPE Coachs Code of Conduct Good to review whether coaching or the AD with all coaches These guidelines are published by the state and your national organization (AAHPERD). Failure to adhere to these guidelines can be used against you. Therefore, it behooves you to follow and familiarize yourself with them.
51
Duty to Warn - Coaches DO YOU: Warn about dangers of improper techniques? Tell athletes specifically about types of injuries they could suffer from improper techniques? Warn parents about injuries and consequences of playing sport? Illustrate these warning with charts or provide written warnings?
52
What are the risks in your sport? Nature of the Game Rules of the Game Playing Environment Playing Equipment Develop a list of risks in a sport List of HS/MS Activities
53
Drafting a Written Warning Use list of risks to draft out a written statement to distribute among athletes Needs to be adapted so information is clear for the age and experience of athletes Be concise and honest Review and revise with another coach
54
HOW will you give the warning effectively? Do not make assumption that athletes already know Use visual and verbal explanations See next slide
56
Using Waivers Add a waiver at the end of the written statement Similar to Informed Consent or Assumption of Risk Signature indicates knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of risks Willingness to waive legal rights to hold you legally responsible in event of injury
57
Why should you NOT rely on a waiver for legal protection? A minors rights cannot be waived. Until a minor reaches legal age, s/he is not mature enough to fully understand terms Why use waivers then? Valid agreement, you now have an assumption of risk Yet a signed waiver has been contested in court Acting appropriately in the first place and accepting responsibility for warning athletes and parents about risks has more protection than trying to claim innocence later
58
What needs to be included in a waiver? Who is protected by agreement Need to use language that can be broadly interpreted Avoid statements that are fraudulent Make sure to use proper title Should be a separate sheet and not on a membership form Font should be at least 10 font Language should be clear and bold lettering and a caution statement, read before signing Signatures should be near the language with a statement assuring that you have read it
59
Summary Legal guidelines from the text Better to be safe than sorry Note on standing in a doorway
60
Assignment Research 2 legal cases online, one related to PE, the other to coaching Post the website link online in Vista under the legal cases blog (in assignment tab) including your name Bring a PRINTOUT summary of both cases next class to present/discuss and hand in Include the web address

Do you remember the infamous (yet classic) “Soup Nazi” from television’s Seinfeld? The fictional soup entrepreneur’s popularity stemmed from his rude treatment of customers. Reportedly based on a real-life small business owner, the Soup Nazi actually inspired several other real-life business owners to open soup restaurants.
Fast forward a few years and soup is making a comeback—as a health and diet aid. According to The New York Times, growing numbers of Americans are going on soup cleanses, also known as “souping.” This means they’re eating nothing but soup, several times a day, some for days at a time. Apparently soup cleanses are the new juice cleanses, which The Times says many people found too extreme.
Many of those souping aren’t making the soup themselves–hence the opportunity, which is growing nationwide. Some restaurants provide their soups in single-day cleanse portions, while others, says The Times, offer soups as meal replacements for as many as five days.
The Times notes sales at Brooklyn-based The Splendid Spoon have tripled annually since 2013. The company sells vegan, gluten-free soups, and ships across the U.S. And it says this is not just a New York City phenomenon. Soupure launched in Los Angeles in 2014 and expanded from only delivering locally to shipping all over the country. Another company, Philadelphia-based Read Food Works, started life as a meal delivery service and then added a soup cleanse option in 2013.
If this interests you, whether as a new business or an add-on to your current restaurant, The Times reports the “soups that make up these cleanses tend to be quite flavorful, thanks in part to a liberal use of spices like turmeric and cumin. They are often made with seasonally grown ingredients, packaged without preservatives and delivered chilled. Some are drinkable cold, although eating them warmed up, ideally out of a bowl with a spoon, arguably underlines the sense that they’re a meal.”
Another Los Angeles-based company, Soupelina, told The Times its business has doubled in the past year. Soupelina, which gets most of its produce from local farmers’ markets, uses clever and catchy names for its soups, such as Kale-lifornia Dreamin’ and And the Beet Goes On.
Not surprisingly, the primary target market for soups is. | https://smbforum.web.com/forum-web-com/food-trend-yes-soup-for-you | 2018-10-15T18:15:51 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

This is just the lesson I have been learning lately! It’s not an easy one when your whole livelihood is at stake, but God knows so much better than we do and no matter how bad we think things look, he can always make a way.
Twiglet, there is wisdom in your words! And with that stretching comes an increased capacity for joy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts:-) | https://sneakingoffwithgod.com/2013/03/17/the-secret-blessing-of-uncertainty/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2018-10-15T17:34:41 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Hi!
Firstly, congratulations on being a parent! It must be overwhelming with all the advice you’re getting left, right, centre and online, but yes, like most of they say, it WILL get better.
Some of you have wrote to convey how encouraged you felt with my sharing on what I went through during my first few weeks of being a parent, so to make things easier to your already suddenly-hectic things-to-do, here are the links to get you directly there with a click.
[The Disclaimer: I’m not an expert on any of these areas so when in doubt, please always, always seek the advice of more experienced people whose opinions you trust or the professionals. These stories are purely based on my experiences.]
1. The birthstory of our firstborn
We had an amazing and pleasant delivery. It was something I least expected nor anticipated, but what a beautiful blessing and ease it was into Motherhood. Although on hindsight, perhaps getting checked in late when I was tired, did the trick. I know it’s never easy, but to me the options during delivery was clear – I wanted to have the energy to do those final pushes and embrace our newborn the moment he’s out then to deal with contractions beyond my threshold, when given a choice. For our firstborn, I was determined to receive him in as happy and chirpy a state as much as possible.
2. The first few weeks as a first time mum
I’m sure it happens to many, and I was one of the many. The first few weeks did not go according to plan at all. From asking the confinement lady to leave, to baby being hospitalized soon after he was first discharged to go home, to dealing with those bloody roller coaster emotions and more – it’s funny how none of my once-pregnant friends nor relatives prepared me for this. Maybe it was also because even if it was true, there was nothing much worth remembering and reminiscing about. But to me, acknowledging helps. Talking it out helps. Remember: your newborn is even more clueless about how the world works than you are. So it’s never personal. It will get better. If you have to, let all your pent-up feeling out. You know my email. Write to me if there’s no one else that you can talk to and not judge you for those moments.
3. The birthstory of our second born
Our second born was birth at the new Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital which made it a very delightful birthing experience because unlike the first time round, I actually had a private room to rest and my husband had a proper couch instead of a plastic chair to sleep on. The nurses there were hilarious and helped a lot in maintaining my spirits up and again, the delivery was absolutely pleasant. We were beautifully blessed with a very healthy baby, safe delivery and like the first time round, I was one happy mama who was laughing a lot even when it came to those few pushes.
4. The first few weeks as a second time mum
Oh boy, I thought being a second time mum would have me feeling more prepared especially since this wasn’t my first time. Been there, done that, right? What I didn’t anticipate was the damn hormones. And managing the firstborn’s feelings. Tears flooded the eyes the moment I heard my firstborn going “I don’t love mommy. I don’t want mommy” even when I knew he probably didn’t mean it and was saying that to get my attention. I felt conflicted whenever my firstborn asked for me to accompany him to school, feed him or just sitting with him, and it was time to breastfeed the secondborn. I hated that I even had to make a choice between both boys. | https://so.natty.sg/the-birth-story-motherhood-begins/ | 2018-10-15T18:18:35 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
4.9: Human Taxonomy
- Page ID
- 6906
The classic Linnaean taxonomy is basically part of your family tree without drawing in all the branches. Linnaeus was great for the 1700s, but can be very misleading today if you try to cram all the different branches of life into arbitrary horizontal categories like: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, etc. All of these categories are arbitrary and the only way to make them work is through lots of "sub-" and "super-". But, it's still useful to ask why the split between two taxa is being made: What do they have in common? How are they different? Especially as it relates to us. So if I want to compare and contrast myself to a frog, I go up the tree to the place where vertebrates split into amphibians and mammals. I will share all the characteristics of other vertebrates with frogs, and I will be different from frogs in all the ways mammals are. This helps you determine who is a closer relative, and this is useful in many different ways, e.g. if you want to predict how pollution might effect humans, it is usually better to look at mammals rather than amphibians, if you test a drug on pregnant rhesus monkeys, it might act differently on human mothers because we have a different placenta.

words // Zack Schlemmer
It's time for your weekly look at some of the top sneaker finds on eBay. This week we have two pairs of Air Jordan VIII's, but at very different ends of the spectrum.
Top Pick
Air Jordan VIII Darius Miles PE
Ahead of the Air Jordan Retro 8s scheduled for next year, we came across these amazing Darius Miles PE's from his time with the Cleveland Cavs. They're $875, but in pristine condition and likely to never be seen again.
OG's of the Week
The Air Jordan I is one of the most important - if not the most important - athletic shoes ever, so anytime an original pair in great condition pops up for sale it is worth noting. Here's an OG white/black/red pair from 1985 at a still decent price of $395 with one day left.
Beat Heat
The Zoom Jet turf trainer from 1997 worn by Barry Sanders and Brett Favre has never been retroed (what are you waiting for, Nike?), so a pair even in this worn condition is a great find. The uppers on these actually look pretty good, and although they have some wear on the soles, a Buy it Now price of $79.99 is nice!
T-Shirt of the Week
Vintage Shaq Reebok Shirt
This vintage Reebok Shaquille O'Neal "Pure Aggression" shirt is pure awesomeness!
Fakes of the Week
Overweight Jumpman Edition Air Jordan 8
The Jumpman on the tongues of these Air Jordan 8's are looking more like the current Michael Jordan than the 1993 version, as these guys seem to have gained a little weight. Oh well, at least the colorway is dope...right??

Dear Well-Meaning, Soon-to-be-ex-coworker of Jami’s,
I know that you are a well-intentioned, liberal lady who is all for the homos, so I want to give you a little piece of friendly advice. Do not ask your soon-to-be-ex-coworker if her new employer will “recognize” her marriage. It’s a shitty thing to ask, and here’s why…
Your soon-to-be-ex-coworker (ie, my wife) is legally married in the District of Columbia. I’m sure that you know this because it would have been hard to miss the hullabaloo when it became legal earlier this year. This means that my marriage is a legal marriage and that it is EXACTLY the same as every other legal marriage in the District of Columbia. This is the beauty of marriage equality. This is exactly why marriage equality is so important. Because suddenly relationships between two consenting adults, any two consenting adults, who choose to marry are treated the exactly the same. If your DC employer will pay for the health care of the opposite-sex spouses of their employees, for example, they will also now be paying for the health care of the same-sex spouses of their employees. This is why Catholic Charities is no longer covering spouses on their health care plans.
DC’s move to marriage equality wasn’t an empty gesture, it was a very real, legal, serious thing. And by asking if my marriage is “recognized”, you are saying it is different. You are the ONLY person who is saying that it’s different. Which I am sure is not what your well-meaning, liberal self intended. My best advice? If you believe in marriage equality, recognize all marriages as equal. Practice what you preach. And if there is some way in which my marriage is not equal (there is still that pesky little matter of the federal government), and it’s something that I want to talk you about, I will bring it up. Because if you bring it up, especially if you imply that my marriage isn’t recognized, it’s just going to make me feel like you see my marriage as “less than”, which I most certainly do not and at which I will probably take offense.
I know the question was not meant in the manner in which it was received, and living in a glass house, I have no wish to throw stones. I’m sure, as a well-meaning, liberal white lady myself, I have made my share of well-intentioned, but not-so-appropriate remarks. So please just think about what I said, and the next time you are faced with a coworker or casual acquaintance who is married to someone of the same sex, don’t focus on the differences that you may see between their marriage and other marriages, focus on what is the same – or just don’t focus on their marriage at all. Thanks!

Great joy came into my life the night that I became a follower of Jesus. My big troubles were over, Jesus had won. God had done a miracle inside me. Now I am at peace with God.
M Bhutta from Pakistan:
The day my family and I became followers of Jesus, our lives changed completely. We are all very happy.

Acharya from Nepal:
I bought a Bible so I could find out the mistakes in it, and then argue with the followers of Jesus. But as I read it, I did not see mistakes. I found the truth about the real God, who gave his life to bring forgiveness to all who have done wrong.
Muhereza from Uganda:
When I was very ill, I went to the local witch-doctors. They could not help me. After a long time of suffering, I became a follower of Jesus. Then, I found new life and healing.
Anne from Switzerland:
When I became a follower of Jesus, I realised that God’s Holy Spirit, who brought Jesus back to life, lives in me. Life is now worth living and I always want to follow Jesus.
Ute Hadaro from Ethiopia:
When my family became followers of Jesus, our lives changed dramatically.
Shakil from India:
When a snake was going to attack me, I asked God to save me. He heard my prayer. The snake went away and I went safely home. From that day, I felt that I had a new life.

Soviet landscape painter Eduard Bragovsky
Next to the window. 1981. Oil on canvas. Soviet landscape painter Eduard Bragovsky (October 6, 1923, Tiflis – August 6, 2010, Moscow)
Soviet landscape painter Eduard Bragovsky
Born in 1923 in Tbilisi, Eduard Georgievich Bragovsky graduated from the Moscow State Art Institute of VI Surikov (1953). He studied in the workshop of PI Kotov. Author of genre paintings, landscapes, portraits, and still lifes. Painting by Bragovsky differs spectacular colorful, joyful, and major sound. The richness of color development serves for the artist a bright emotional interpretation of nature. According to the Moscow based artist, he proudly belongs to the “sixties” (1960s). The sixties of the last century, when a young artistic movement was born from the “thaw”, changed the development of Russian fine arts. This movement gave so many fine artists: Pavel Nikonov, Nikolai Andronov, Ivan Sorokin, Viktor Popkov, Tair Salakhov, Albert Papikyan, Peter Ossovsky, Heliya Korzhev, and Mikhail Ivanov … Meanwhile, today this movement in the West is called “Russian impressionism” for some reason.
However, the main inspiration for the artist is his family, his wife, their children, and grandchildren. In addition, it is his favorite Tarusa. Here Bragovsky lives every summer for more than fifty years. Here he has his own house. Also, his wife Natasha has lived in Tarusa since the pre-war time, when she grew up in the house of her grandfather. Besides, she brought Eduard Bragovsky here in 1948 – and since that time they have stayed here forever.
Of course, his creative interests were not limited to Tarusa. He loved the old Russian cities – Pereslavl-Zalessky, Rostov-Yaroslavl, Pskov, Novgorod, Ferapontovo … He traveled around Russia and visited many countries.

Will you choose the rock or the sand? This is a very intentional question that will determine the course of your life from this point forward. The most tricky part about being a child of God is free will and the ability to be tested. Free will gets us in some sticky situations and at times can seem like the end of God’s grace. The ability to be tested coincides with free will thus making a recipe for worry.
We are human and we have the ability to make choices, which means we can choose to walk in line with what God wants for us or to deviate with or without temptation. It’s sort of like sticking to a diet. Do you think of the goodness of kale and all it’s done for you when a pipping hot Maple Bacon Donut from Duck Donuts is in your face? Or do you throw Kale out the window and give into the craving. This is the struggle. Sometimes you may fall for the Donuts other times you may walk away proudly yelling “Kale is good all the time and all the time Kale is good.” The dilemma is the consistency.
How do I consistently run to Kale and leave my Donut craving spirit in the wind? How do I consistently trust that the Kale is working even if I haven’t lost a pound? The answer is to trust the foundation. If you have built a strong foundation of meal prep and work out routines then when you haven’t shed a pound you have faith that you may be shedding inches. A strong foundation is the key to withstanding anything, including temptation.
Matthew 7: 24-25 reads:
.”
Basically with God as our foundation nothing can shake us. No matter how big the storm (or the Donut) God is always there to keep us grounded and to bring us back even when we have gone astray. Without a solid foundation you cannot reach higher in God because there will be nothing to catch you when you fall. Everyone need a safe house, a place to go when the world is crumbling down around you. This can be prayer, reading of scripture, talking to God, writing to God, going to church, anything. All these things serve as our basis for our spiritual walk. Without our Rock, our lord and savior Jesus Christ we have no base, Without the word, we have no guidance.
The word serves as a beacon to bring us back to our safe house and to remind us to build on the rock not on the sand. For anything built on sand will wash away with the storms. (and possibly result in you scarfing down a dozen donuts)
Sincerely,
Bri-Anna Lewis

Father who charged Larry Nassar in court: I delivered my daughters 'to a demon'
The father of three of convicted pedophile Larry Nassar’s victims who charged his daughters’ predator in court on Friday was later released from a holding cell and spoke with media about the incident.
While apologetic to the court, its officers and and his daughters and other victims for his outburst, he made very clear his feelings about his daughters’ abuser.
“I believe in God almighty. I believe in heaven and hell. I can only hope that when the day comes that Larry Nassar has ended his days on this earth that he will be escorted to one of the deepest darkest hottest pits in hell there is,” Randall Margraves said. “I hope there’s a lot of pain attached to it.”
Margraves thanked Judge Janice K. Cunningham, whom he had asked in court for five minutes alone with Nassar, for her leniency in not fining him for civil contempt of court. His attorney told reporters that he is hopeful that the local sheriff will not press charges.
His outburst in court was dramatic.
“Let me at that son of a bitch,” Margraves said while being pinned down by deputies after attempting to reach Nassar. “I want that son of a bitch. Give me one minute with that bastard. One minute.”
Margraves told the story of how his family became associated with Nassar during his news conference. He described his three daughters as active athletes who participated in cross country, basketball, gymnastics and other sports. With those sports came injuries, and he was advised to send his daughters to see Nassar, a well-respected doctor who treated athletes from Michigan State and USA Gymnastics.
“I fell for the Michigan state hype,” Margraves said. “I was blinded to the fancy degrees hanging on an office wall.
“I delivered unintentionally my three daughters to a demon who had his own twisted and sick agenda for his own demented desires. Now I have to live with the fact that I failed to protect my daughters.”
He described a previously strained relationship with his daughters that he didn’t fully understand until learning about Nassar’s abuse and concern that his daughters won’t ever be able to fully trust a man.
Margraves said that his outburst was not staged, that he woke up planning to attend the court hearing with his daughters in the morning and then go to work. But Nassar’s reaction to his daughters’ testimony pushed him over the edge.
“When I had to hear what was said in those statements and I have to look over at Larry Nassar shaking his head — that’s when I lost control, Margraves said. “I’m not advocating that everyone should do that. I feel very remorseful, very apologetic.”
Margraves was flanked by his attorney, his wife and three daughters. His daughter Morgan introduced him be saying he reacted how she expected most fathers would feel like acting if put in the same situation as he learned in court of some of the details of hers and her sisters’ abuse for the first time.
This was the third and final sentencing hearing for Nassar, with the focus on his relationship with and victims through Twistars, an elite gymnastics club in Michigan. | https://sports.yahoo.com/father-charged-larry-nassar-court-delivered-daughters-demon-233615993.html | 2018-10-15T18:08:37 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
55-Year-Old Lamar Sepulveda Set a New World Record For Most Miles Run on a Treadmill in 12 Hours To Raise Funds And Awareness for the Challenged Athletes Foundation
July 14, 2012 – Los Angeles, CA - Until today, the previous Guinness world record for most miles run on a treadmill in 12 hours stood at 58:05 miles. Today, Los Angeles resident, Six-time Ironman and ultra runner Lamar Sepulveda set a new world record of 64.35 miles in 12 hours, on a state-of-the-art SK treadmill provided by BH Fitness.
The “Treadmill Challenge” was conceived by Sepulveda as a way to celebrate his 55th birthday and to raise funds and awareness for the Challenged Athletes Foundation, which helps people with physical disabilities pursue an active lifestyle through physical fitness and competitive athletics. Sepulveda, who turned 55 on July 13th, is founder of The “Pay It Forward” Challenge, which uses endurance sports to raise funds and awareness for charities and to inspire others to do so. The entire event was streamed live on the web at SportsandSocialChange.org and all viewers were encouraged to donate to the Challenged Athletes Foundation during the event.
Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) grantees include people born with physical disabilities and people who have become disabled through illness, accident or armed forces or first responder injuries. Many CAF-supported athletes will compete in the Paralympics in London this summer.
Sepulveda is no stranger to long distance challenges, having completed a 611-mile solo state-to-state swim-bike-run from Venice Beach to Phoenix, AZ in 2008, raising $ 15,000 for the Children’s Hospital of Orange County Cancer Institute where his son had been a leukemia patient. Since 2009, Team “Pay It Forward” Challenge has raised more than $12,000 for the Challenged Athletes Foundation.
The Pay It Forward Challenge "Treadmill Challenge" event sponsors included BH Fitness, Generic Events, Zenify, Red Bull, Vitamin Water, LA Tri Club and DJ Robtronik

Kris Wright entered this weekend’s IMSA Prototype Challenge Presented by Mazda season finale at Road Atlanta knowing all he had to do was have a clean race to win his first professional sports car racing championship.
Forty7 Motorsports, which entered the race at Road Atlanta second in points, looked to cap off its first full season in the series on a high note after scoring the pole Thursday afternoon.
Mission accomplished for both.
Wright finished second to win the LMP3 class championship, capping off an unforgettable season that included podiums in all six races in the No. 30 Extreme Speed Motorsports Ligier JS P3, while Austin McCusker and TJ Fischer gave Forty7 Motorsports its second win of the season.
McCusker and the No. 47 Forty7 Motorsports Norma M30 finishing the season second in the standings.
“It’s really amazing, sleeping last night was not an easy thing to do knowing everything that could be thrown away with some stupid move, me or someone else,” said Wright.
“We are just really happy that we got everything to come together in the first 45 minutes and finished second.
“I think I clinched it (the championship) when I hopped out of the car and finished my 45 minutes but seeing (co-driver) Nic (Jonsson) cross the line in second was awesome, because a podium every race is quite an achievement.”
Forty7 Motorsports’ two entries combined to lead the first hour of the one-hour, 45-minute race with the No. 74 Norma M30 entry run in partnership with Alianza Motorsports also spending time at the front of the field. That entry seemed poised for a podium finish of its own, but Anthony Simone was forced to pit with a mechanical issue while running third with 16 minutes remaining.
A yellow flag shortly later set up an eight-minute sprint to the finish, but McCusker was able to hold off Jonsson to win by 7.809 seconds.
It was the second win of the season for McCusker and Fischer, with the duo also winning at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. It was the third podium in five starts with the duo co-driving together. McCusker also finished second in the season-opener at Daytona, but with co-driver David Droux.
“Got to give a thanks to Forty7 Motorsports, they had the car on rails all weekend and qualified the car on pole for TJ, took home the win,” said McCusker. “Didn’t need a pit stop under yellow this time, we won it on outright pace this time.”
Rounding out the podium was the No. 40 Polestar Motor Racing Ligier JS P3 of Keith Grant and David Grant, the duo’s best finish of the season while Max Hanratty finished fourth in the No. 3 Extreme Speed Motorsports entry alongside co-driver Harry Gottsacker to finish third in the standings. Cameron Cassels finished fifth to score the LMP3 Masters victory, his first of the season, which also was good enough to secure him the LMP3 Masters championship.
Brownson Caps Off MPC Class With Race Win, Championship
Longtime IMSA Prototype Challenge Presented by Mazda driver Jon Brownson called it an “honor” to win the final race for the Mazda Prototype Challenge (MPC) class Friday at Road Atlanta. Brownson, who started in the first race for the series in 2006, scored his first win of the season in the No. 34 Eurosport Racing Elan DP02 to win the final championship for the class.
Entering the weekend, seven cars were within nine points of the championship lead, with four of those cars within five points. Brownson was fifth in the standings entering the final weekend, six points back.
“It’s a wonderful way to end the season and see this car out,” said Brownson. “Dare I call it an honor. Thanks to my crew and Eurosport Racing. We had a car that was just ready to go this morning and I was fortunate to be the guy driving it. It was a great race and it’s so good to go out on a high note with the MPC car today. I started in the first race of the series back when they were just introducing the MPC and to win today is very special.
“I look forward to moving up to the LMP3 next year and take on the challenges that presents.”
In the end, Brownson edged out the duo of Tazio Ottis and Bart Wolf by two points, 172-170. Ottis and Wolf finished second in the No. 28 Wolf Motorsports Elan DP02, which means one position separated the championship.
Spencer Dawes rounded out the podium in third in the No. 22 Performance Tech Motorsports entry to also finish third in the standings. It was his third podium of the season.
The season finale will be telecast on FS2 on Thursday, Nov. 1 at 8 p.m. ET.

San Diego Padres vs. Philadelphia Phillies - 8/10/18 MLB Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Philadelphia Phillies (64-50) at San Diego Padres (46-71)
MLB Baseball: Friday, August 10, 2018 at 10:10 pm (PETCO Park)
Zach Eflin (8-3) (3.61) vs. Jacob Nix (0-0) (0.00)
The Line: San Diego Padres +118 / Philadelphia Phillies -128 --- Over/Under: 8 See the Latest Odds
TV: FS-San Diego
The Philadelphia Phillies and the San Diego Padres meet in game one of their three game set from Petco Park in MLB action on Friday.
The Philadelphia Phillies come into this game looking to rebound after losing the rubber match of their series with Arizona on Wednesday by a final score of 6-0. Cesar Hernandez led the Phils with two hits while Roman Quinn added a pinch-hit double and Carlos Santana chipped in a base hit as well as the Phillies mustered up just four hits as a team in the losing effort. Vince Velasquez took the loss, falling to 8-9 this season after allowing four runs on six hits over four innings of work. Zach Eflin will start game one and is 8-3 with a 3.61 ERA and 78 strikeouts this season. This will be Eflin’s first career start against San Diego.
Gregory J. Fisher-USA TODAY Sports
The San Diego Padres will be looking to keep their momentum going after winning the rubber match of their series with the Phillies following an 8-4 victory on Thursday. Hunter Renfroe led the Padres with four RBIs, going 2 for 4 with a home run and a double. Franmil Reyes went 3 for 5 with a solo home run and a double while Freddy Galvis added a solo home run of his own in the win. Jose Pirela added a double and an RBI while Travis Jankowski chipped in an RBI as well to round out San Diego’s scoring in the win. Cory Spangenberg, Carlos Asuaje and starting pitcher Robbie Erlin each contributed a base hit to round out the Padres’ offense in the victory. Robbie Erlin gave up four runs, two earned, on seven hits while striking out three, not factoring in the decision. Kirby Yates picked up the win to improve to 4-0 this season. Jacob Nix will be making his major league debut in this one and was 3-3 with a 1.84 ERA and 44 strikeouts between AA and AAA this season.
Philadelphia is 7-3 in Eflin’s last 10 starts and 6-2 in their last 8 games overall while the under is 7-0 in their last 7 road games. San Diego is 1-11 in their last 12 home games against a right-handed starter and 5-16 in their last 21 home games while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall. Philadelphia is 42-20 in the last 62 meetings between these two teams and 36-17 in the last 53 meetings between these two teams in San Diego.
Not only are we getting the better team with a low line, but we are getting a good price to fade a Padres team that still isn’t a good team, despite winning three of their last four games, and is throwing a pitcher making his major league debut in this one. Eflin has allowed three runs or more in each of his last four starts, but is still the better pitcher here with the better offense behind him. Give me the Phillies to draw first blood on Friday.

Departing passengers to pay total of S$34 from April 2013
Changi International Airport has increased its Passenger Service Charge for departing passengers by S$6.00 (US$4.80), a change that will come into force from 1 April 2013. The new fee of S$19.90 will apply to all airfares booked from November 2012. Taking into account a separate S$8.00 Passenger Security Service Charge and a S$6.10 Aviation Levy imposed by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, departing passengers will have to pay a total of S$34 from April.
Changi Airport Group explains the raised fee by saying that it will fund new developments needed to accommodate growing passenger traffic and cover the airport’s escalating operational costs.

People commit arson when they deliberately set fires to (or detonate explosives in) buildings, wildlife areas, or other structures and the action results in property damage. Although the intention is usually to cause damage to property, the potential for personal injury is high. This makes arson a very dangerous and serious crime that is punished accordingly.
Arson Felony Categories
Indiana doesn't divide arson into degrees, but the state does have different felony levels for arson offenses. Level 2 is the highest level for arson and carries the highest penalties and Level 6 is the least serious offense with the least severe penalties. It's considered a "wobbler" offense, which means that the crime can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony.
An individual commits a separate offense for each person who suffers a bodily injury or serious bodily injury that is caused by the violation of Indiana's arson laws.
Indiana Arson Laws at a Glance
An attorney's statutory analysis is preferable, especially when it comes to criminal law and complex cases. However, anyone can get to the essence of a statute with a no-nonsense explanation written in everyday language. The chart below is intended to explain Indiana Arson Laws: Related Resources
Get an Attorney's Help for Your Indiana Arson Case
Because arson is such a major crime, it's important to get a handle on your case because of the severe penalties. If you're accused of breaking Indiana's arson laws, then you need to get help immediately. Don't delay contacting an experienced criminal defense attorney who can advocate on your behalf.

This is StationVI, a place to find updates about everything that’s going on; where God is using us, where He is leading us and what we are playing. StationVI is much more then just a name I came up with for my band or even my music. It’s intended to signify what we are pursuing…what pursues us… and what has caught me…
There are topics, ideas, theology and misgivings born from frustration and exhilaration while experiencing human life as an all to fallible man. I’m no longer chasing after purpose…I am running, now, WITH purpose like a mad-man runs into darkness, with reckless abandonment, tripping quite often along the way. Yet, my life began at Station VI and I continue to write music, think thoughts, sing songs and dwell upon this amazing (and miraculous) mystery. God IS a mystery, but because of Station VI, His son has become my close friend.
I just like sharing things with people. I can honestly say…I don’t even know what to expect from this Blog. I can only hope that for those following (or just checking it out) it will make you laugh, make you ponder, make you reflect on the man who was crucified for us all…at Station VI.
I really DON’T know what you might expect! I’m certainly no intellectual giant. My brothers (and my friends) are the theologians. I just think too much! Through encouragement and humor (and a little insight now and then) I write to relieve some of this pressure off my over-loaded brain! But I also hope to make people feel… they are truly loved at Station VI.
Given what happened there, Station VI seemed appropriate for a band name – a name to house the music God has given me to write – a name to offer simple explanations of God’s Word – a name to usher prayers that I know are heard. Station VI is where humanities hope in itself died and where Hope in something eternal first caught breath. Great musicians will always come and go – even my own abilities will ebb and flow, back and forth – but as long as I have breath…as long as I am seeking God’s will…as long as I am humbled before His throne, imperfect man that I am…I will always have Station VI with me. In every situation, every season and every success and failure. “For my only power and success…come from God.” Station VI in thought, prayer AND music… can only be about that. I can’t take Christ out of Himself! So let’s go find out what we can see?!
There’s a lot of exciting things coming up – some of which I don’t even have any idea about…and that’s the true beauty of Station VI…this is the place where hope rises.

Hello there. Thank you for visiting my blog. Keep up this great work also. I will share more soon on what I sense the Spirit saying.
Sean –
So glad you and I are FB friends now. I went to your FB page that led me to your StationVI blog and then to the post on GW’s Hour, Romans 7, etc.
I really like the blog. You write well and your thoughts are quite meaningful. Strikes me as a site I’ll refer to for topics, ideas, and encouragement that I can use in my writing. I will surely be logging in. Keep up the good work, sir! –

Thanks Paul! I’m glad to hook up with you as well! I appreciate the encouragement. The blog is merely meant as a daily encouragement for the five people who read it. I’m no theologian but I love to study the word and do these devotions. And sometimes it’s nothing more then my thoughts on what God is doing through me and speaking to me. I appreciate you checking it off. | https://stationvi.wordpress.com/ | 2018-10-15T16:43:16 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
History tells us that every great wave of transformative innovations is accompanied by a financial mania leading to a financial meltdown. The beginning of the 20th century, had seen the widespread of an amazing range of technological innovations including radio, automobiles (ford's model T), aviation and the deployment of electrical power grids. The huge interest and speculative activity surrounding these technological breakthroughs, leaded the American stocks market to a big bubble in the 1920s which sadly burst in October 1929(Black Tuesday) triggering then the Great Depression (1929-39). Throughout that century, the same situation was recurrent and the list ended with the Dot-com bubble. In every bubble instance, the pattern was the same a disruptive technology creates a set of risky startups and ignite the vicious cycle: Boom, bubble, bust and resurrection. Whereas, the investors get excited and rush in to buy a piece of the future, before all ends in tears, bankruptcies, foreclosures and stock market immolation.
Bubbles:
The historical wave of disruptive technologies continues with the emergence of the blockchain and the cryptocurrencies. Since 2015, we live in a boom of these technologies, which changes the financial landscape by building a parallel finance (crypto-finance). this new finance is irregulated, uncontrolled and without without neither bailout programs nor banks. In the recent two years, People get excited about the bitcoin’s price surge and the widespread adoption of the blockchain, thus many ICOs (initial coin offering) and funds rise took place with millions of dollars accompanied by a huge media coverage. This massive enthusiasm put us in the verge of the mania phase in a bubble lifetime.
fig. The bubble phases chart of Hofstra University's Jean-Paul Rodrigue
Undoubtedly, bitcoin is the success key of the blockchain industry and ironically it may become the key of its ‘failure’. the cryptocurrency world and the attractiveness of the blockchain are tightly correlated, who says that bitcoin may fall and the blockchain survive and thrive might be mistaken. The trust ensured technically by the blockchain is at his turn buttressed by the economic model of the bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in a complex way, a kind of yin-yang. When this underpinning economic model melt down by a bubble burst, the trust in the technology behind will be hardly impacted and your business too.
To avoid all the risks of a sharp bubble burst we need to learn all the lessons we can get from the e-commerce and dotcom bubble to figure out the path ahead. while, there is a big resemblance between the internet bubble and the possible blockchain bubble . The dot-com bubble Started around 1997 and burst in 2002, The dot-com bubble is a big lesson that people tend to forget. As the name suggested, the dot-com bubble evolves from a speculative investment in the internet companies. Back in 95, Netscape launched its improbable and widely successful IPO (initial public offerings) on the stock market, a year later came the IPOS of search engine companies such as Yahoo. Afterward, the amazon IPO took place in 1997 and the Theglobe in 1998, pushing the web boom in the direction of a bubble. People thought it is a tremendous new model and these companies are going to grow so quickly. As an example, amazon was called the earth's biggest bookstore and people hyped its potential to the sky. Worst, the investors were so excited about the internet at the level they invested in any tech company, with a pulse they didn’t care if the company is profitable or not.
Over evaluation:
The hot IPO markets misallocate investment funds to areas dictated by speculative trends, rather than to enterprises generating longstanding economic value. After the amazon IPO, the shares prices double continuously from 2$ to reach its zenith (about 100$) in a year. Suddenly after the start of maniac bubble, millions of people stamped to their brokers snapping up shares in any company with a dot com attached to its name (something.com) fuelling the wildest specular frenzy. Typically, when there is an overabundance of IPOs in a bubble market, a large portion of the IPO companies fail completely, never achieve what is promised to the investors, or can even be vehicles for fraud.
fig. Amazon's stock price evolution 97-2008
After the burst, we have seen companies goes from market cap of 300M$ to 0$ within less a year. However, there was some success story like amazon who goes from 100$/share(bubble) in the bubble peak to 7$/share after the “burst” but it climbed back up to 00$/share (resurrection).
Empower user:
Among all the forces were propelling the dot-com boom, none was more profound than democratization of the stock market. With the internet, the power was shifted from the wall street professionals to normal people, giving to everybody the ability to buy and sell stocks directly online. To a certain kind of person, this activity become a kind of obsession they were called ‘day traders’ and they started making stock market like a casino they were buying stocks in the morning and sold them afternoon.with the media in the markets exhibiting an insatiable hunger for any company associated with e-commerce it seemed that every software code was angling to quench that appetite on each program. Besides, As the fortunes of a number of very young people grew almost overnight the media focuses on their astonishing success stories pushing even the more reasonable and professional people to join the mania.
fig. why we can't see a bubble(human behavior)
blind enthusiasm.As a promotion, Lot of people compare the blockchain emergence with the internet in the 80s, but none talk about the shared risks, contrariwise you will hear only misleading, biased and optimistic forecasts. When you learn about the dotcom bubble you find many similarities, certainly we are not in the identical situation but we are sailing in the same direction. The continuous growing financial interest eclipses the blockchain future, everywhere you will feel a blind enthusiasm and a rush to develop a blockchain or invest in a blockchain (or cryptocurrency). We need to bear in mind that these technologies are building a technical and economic ecosystem which is still immature and in the learning phase. therefore, it will inherit all the problems from the traditional finance: market manipulation, bubbles, market crash, pumps and dumps, etc. although, these technologies may be impacted negatively in the near future, they will learn and survive to change our lifestyle and our business in the long-term. status quo bias*.
Conclusion
As before the dotcom bubble, we are in the same situation in the crypto/blockchain market. We have a raise of ICOs, a growing speculation around bitcoin and other altcoins, huge hype and big media coverage, influential crypto trader, optimistic forecasts, scam projects, etc. we are gathering all the right ingredients for a bubble burst.It’s hard to expect the future, but I am sensing an upcoming crisis in the crypto-market and a bubble burst, isn't obvious?. Such harmful situation is a needed sacrifice to reach the maturity stage like what happened to internet years after the dotcom bubble. Within the dotcom bust only the valuable projects or products will survive and thrive afterward, such as amazon, ebay, google, etc. As the internet and the telecom were impacted by the financial market positively (infrastructure growth) and negatively (stocks crash), the blockchain business and cryptocurrencies will be impacted more intensely by the crypto-market.Like any other mania, the internet mania and the dot-com bubble is the result of the fascinating unexpected human behavior. Therefore, as the adage suggests I hope the best and I expect the worst.

Very, very good article!
thanks man
Great article man , very interesting read !
thank you
Interesting read, thanks!
I have bookmarked this to read on a later occasion, now I am to drunk, sry.
A few questions (maybe I should´ve read first): won´t blockchain be something entirely different than, say the dotcom-bubble?
The whole idea that you can shuffle coins around in a valuta sphere compared to a dotcom sphere where you believe in something not realised?
I know the same may be true to blockchain, but so far there is no evidence of any coin gaining strong mainstream applicable attention. I may be thinking totally wrong tho... | https://steemit.com/blockchain/@bellajbadr/the-blockchain-mania-and-the-dot-com-bubble | 2018-10-15T18:35:04 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Hello Steemers! As always, I bring you a delicious bakery preparation to practice and taste at home.
Today I bring you a recipe of my authorship, very simple but incredibly delicious, Calzone Frito. Many of you may have tasted Calzone at famous food franchises or a trattoria, but have you eaten Calzone Frito?
#
The calzone is originally from Naples, is a derivative of Neapolitan pizza. Prepared in a similar way to pizza in an oven but completely closed by a dough, this dough seals its contents, in such a way that it retains the aromas during cooking. It is usually filled with cheese and any other ingredient such as pizza.
We already know that it is a calzone and as it is composed, it is time to review our technical sheet and start with our preparation.
Ingredients needed to prepare 2 calzone of 200 gr each.
For the filling:
I always use the grams of cheese to be 3/4 of the total weight of the dough, for example if the dough is 200 gr as in this case, the weight of the cheese would be 150 gr.
- 70 gr of Salsa Napoli.
- 150 gr of Mozzarella cheese.
- 2 slices of ham.
- Oregano.
- What you want hahahaha, always taking care that the dough is overfilled because you can leave.
When we have all the right ingredients correctly, we proceed to form a volcano with the flour and incorporate the dry ingredients around, salt, sugar and yeast, remember that the salt and the yeast must go in different sides because there is a myth that says that the salt kills the yeast and as a conclusion the dough does not grow correctly.
This will be a very flexible dough, with medium hydration so we must knead as I taught in the Focaccia post.
Focaccia.
When we have the dough ready, we bole and let stand 15 minutes to then divide and weigh the two portions of 200 gr.
Cut and let stand for 60 minutes, after that 60 minutes, degas the dough and stretch with the fingertips like a round pizza.
Add the Napoli sauce in the middle of the dough without touching the edges, otherwise the dough does not stick and all the filling comes out when frying or baking.
Place the cheese, oregano, ham and more napoli sauce on top.
Cover and close the ends uniendolos inwards.
Let stand for 20 min.
Pre Heat the oil to 180 ° C, add the calzone very carefully so that the filling does not come out, fry the calzone until golden brown on each side.
When it is well browned on both sides, place on absorbent paper and serve.
Ready our calzone and now to taste!

Ok! this is what’s going down for Monday! Let us get off the weightlifting and force ourselves to get stronger with db’s. That’s right db’s are a great tool to get the most out of unilateral training. Using both the left and right side of the body to sure up or expose any imbalances we might have created in our attempt to reach new pr’s with the snatch and clean & jerk. By forcing the left side or right side to take part in overcoming gravity and our minds in the quest to get better in each strength session.
You ready ok here we go!
Dumbbell deadlift 5sets of 5 reps add weight each set and don’t back down.
Squat press 5×5
Hang squat clean 5×5
Snatch 5left 5right
push up row 3left 3right
Swings don’t use the handle use the head, we’ll test our grip strength 5×5
Bent over rows 2 at a time
burpees with dumbbells and yes add weight.
This is about getting stronger and adding more weight each set while maintaining your form and mental game.
Have fun and work hard, I can only push you where you want to go and I only know where you are going based on your actions. Be productive and be decisive about your honest approach with yourself. | https://strengthsessions.me/2011/05/18/late-blogsgonna-starta/ | 2018-10-15T18:13:32 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

I havent posted anythig in awhile, im having problems with mites in my soil and i just started flowering these plants any tips to gettig rid of them before the buds come?
Preparing for flower, 3 more weeks of veg
Gnat nix worked for me. I tried food grade DE too and cut up potatoes but the Gnat nix worked the best for me.
I had good luck with food grade de and yellow sticky traps. In the past I used something called SNS 209. You can find it on Amazon. Read the directions before use but it’s a systemic application. The plant drinks it up and when the bugs go to bite it they don’t like it haha good luck. Let us know what works for you. Have a nice day.
Diatomaceous earth is great. You can also “baste” your vegging plant with a 10-25% rubbing alcohol solution which will kill the eggs on/under the leaves/stems, w/o at all harming your plants; do this a few times a week until you don’t see any new eggs.
I did this on some small seedlings, about 2-3 weeks old, and it didn’t harm them, at all. | https://support.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/t/preparing-for-flower-3-more-weeks-of-veg/18704 | 2018-10-15T17:19:32 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Is your Flow Meter registering flow greater than 25 gpm during calibration?
A flow rate over 25 gpm is very unusual, so we will first want to rule out the following circumstances:
- Missing pipe transition
- If you have ¾-inch pipe, make sure that you installed a six-inch long, 1-inch diameter pipe transition piece as instructed in the installation manual. If you did not, consult the manual to retrofit the installation.
- Pump in irrigation system
- If your system has a pump, we do not recommend installing the Wireless Flow Meter. This is because pumps can cause vibrations that may interfere with flow measurement. Please contact support.
If you have confirmed your flow meter is installed correctly and you do not have a pump:
- Return to the the calibration feature in the app, tap “Zones” and then the specific zone, then “Edit”. Select “Flow settings” and then “Calibrate”.
- Before calibration, increase the “pressurized time" to 5 minutes.
Flow rate still above 25 gpm?
If the flow rate is still above 25 gpm, a break in the line may be causing a high-flow leak. We recommend investigating to see if there is a leak. Once the leak is repaired, calibrate the zone to continue receiving leak detection and and water usage information.

We – humanity; the world – need to produce, distribute, and generally treat our food in quite a different way, because the way we do things now is a disaster on every front: humanitarian, political, economic, social, ecological.
We need enlightened agriculture – loosely but adequately defined as:
“Farming that is expressly designed to provide everyone, everywhere, and forever with food of the highest standard, nutritionally and gastronomically, without wrecking the rest of the world”.
Broadly speaking, this requires us to treat all farming as an exercise in agroecology, and to perceive humanity itself as part of the grand global ecology: one species in a huge and diverse synergy. Vital, too, is the concept of food sovereignty, which basically means that humanity – all of us – should keep control of our own food supply.
What we have instead is agro-industry – farming and distribution systems designed to maximize wealth and to consolidate power in the hands of a few large corporations, half a dozen governments, and a handful of international agencies, with their entourage of bureaucrats, experts, and intellectuals.
The two ambitions – feeding people well with minimum collateral damage (and with luck also benefiting our fellow creatures), or the ever increasing pile of wealth and centralisation of power – are quite different, and lead in quite different directions. Despite the best efforts of well-paid and sometimes well-intentioned intellectuals, the two in the end cannot be reconciled.
Enlightened agriculture begins with three questions: what is it right to do? – which of course is a matter of morality; what do we need to do, to ensure that everyone is well fed?; and what is it possible to do? These last two questions are basically those of biology, and more specifically of ecology.
Enlightened agriculture acknowledges the principle of “enough’s enough”: we should quantify what we need and might reasonably desire, and set out to produce it, but then call a halt. Simple arithmetic tells us that we have no need to panic. The world already produces about twice as much food as we will ever need (because the human population is levelling out). The task is to go on producing what we produce now (or less) but in ways that are more convivial, more fair, and leave the rest of nature in good heart; in short, just to do things better. Serendipitously, good farming, sound nutrition, and great cooking (which does not need to be vegan) go hand in hand.
The principles of agro-ecology – and 10,000 years of experience! – tell us that the most productive and sustainable farms are above all diverse, just as nature itself is diverse. This means “polyculture” – mixed-use farms of genetically diverse crops and livestock. The different crops and livestock must be integrated to create synergy – all the different species and classes benefiting from the others. For all kinds of reasons the farms should be low-input – minimising the use of non-renewables; which means in general they should as far as is possible be organic (and the principles matter more than the rules).
Such farms are highly complex and so must be skills-intensive – plenty of farmers! So in general there is little or no advantage to scaling-up, and so the default size of the farms that really could feed us well is small to medium-sized. It would be good if at least 10 per cent of people in Britain worked on the land – roughly a tenfold increase. In countries that are less industrialised, the farm workforce could be perhaps be as high as 50%, at least until there is realistic alternative employment. (Not all farmers need to be full-time).
But agro-industrialists do not ask what is good – or at least they assume that the maximisation of wealth is good per se, regardless (it seems) of how that wealth is generated or what it is used for. They do not ask what is necessary, for if you seek to maximise wealth then there can never be enough: all ceilings on production must be removed (and nowadays the surpluses are burnt and called “biofuel). What is possible, we are given to understand (and the powers that be apparently believe), is limited only by human ingenuity, and the wealth available for research.
In all businesses, those who seek to maximise wealth must strive to maximise turnover – output. So we have been told in a wave of official reports these past few years – and it’s either a mistake or a straightforward lie – that we need at least 50% more food by 2050, and perhaps 100% more by 2100. So the agro-industrialists pile on the agrochemistry – fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and the rest. “Value” must be added – by processing, packaging, and selling out of season. Above all, costs must be cut. This is done mainly by sacking workers – who flee to the cities where almost one in three of the inhabitants (a billion in all) now live in slums. With skilled workers no longer available, the husbandry must be simplified: no polyculture, no small-scale farming, but vast monocultures and factory farms, propped up by industrial chemistry. The result is cruel to people and to livestock, and to the rest of nature it is devastating.
In industrial agriculture the highest of high-tech is employed at every level, whether needed or not. GMOs, the obsession of governments like Britain’s (despite their denials) are promoted not because they are necessary, but because they are esoteric, and can be ministered only by the few highly-endowed companies. So they both generate and consolidate wealth: a double whammy. Successive British governments have queued up to hand over their power and our sovereignty to the high-tech oligopoly, helping them on their way with our taxpayers’ money, making a virtue of Britain’s technological whizz-bangery.
So in truth we, humanity, have two problems. The first is to install a new generation of polycultural, low input, ‘Enlightened farms’ and all that goes with them – artisanal baking and brewing and charcuterie and all the rest; local markets; and an appropriate financial infrastructure.
The second is to do this despite the powers that be: the oligarchy of corporates, governments like ours, the big banks, and their chosen intellectuals who contrive to make the whole endeavour seem respectable..
You can learn why the Renaissance is necessary, and what is really needed – and above all, how to get involved yourself!! – at a five-day course at Schumacher College, Dartington, from September 23 to September 27.

Experts Finally Reveal How You Can Improve Your Wi-Fi Connection
This will change your life!
There are plenty of annoying things that grind our gears on the daily. Tailgaters. Stubbing your toe. Toilets you have to pay for. But one just about takes the cake…
Wi-Fi that should be working but just isn’t working.
Luckily, our friend, and Telstra Area General Manager, Steve Tinker is here to save the day with some cracking insight on how to improve your home Wi-Fi.
Firstly: modem and furniture positioning matters. In fact, it makes a big difference to day-to-day network speeds and connectivity because the Wi-Fi waves have a tough time traveling through dense objects. (Like ghosts!) To avoid problems, place your model as central in your home and as close to your devices as you possibly can.
“Check that your heaviest furniture isn’t in between the modem and your device.”
- Steve Tinker, Telstra Area General Manager
Secondly: to get the best outcome you need the best equipment – so chuck out that that old modem because it’s only holding you back! Often times a simple upgrade (e.g. the Telstra Smart Modem with a maximum throughput of 0.16GB/second) may be all that’s needed to increase your speed and bandwidth.
Finally: beware that sources of radio interference, such as some household appliances and reflective surfaces, may be meddling! Ultimately, all you need to try and avoid is putting your modem beside devices such as microwaves and cordless phones because those ramen reheats and bestie phone chats can significantly impact your connection stability.
It’s also worth noting that if you’ve got yourself a big home you can always boost your Wi-Fi by strategically placing devices such as the Telstra Smart Wi-Fi Booster around your home to increase coverage. If you’re with Telstra, customised help also comes in the form of the Telstra Home Dashboard App for troubleshooting and additional home Wi-Fi guidance.
And so hopefully, with all of your new Wi-Fi knowledge, that’ll be the end of those pesky connection fails and dropouts! But if you do need more info, feel free to call into one of Bendigo’s local Telstra Stores.
Enjoy a fast and reliable connection to the NBN Network with Telstra on the NBN. | https://sw-kofm-prd.scadigital.io/whats-on/bendigo/experts-finally-reveal-how-you-can-improve-your-wi-fi-connection | 2018-10-15T17:59:00 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Outcomes
A student:
- MA5.3-1WM
uses and interprets formal definitions and generalisations when explaining solutions and/or conjectures
- MA5.3-2WM
generalises mathematical ideas and techniques to analyse and solve problems efficiently
- MA5.3-13MG
applies formulas to find the surface areas of right pyramids, right cones, spheres and related composite solids
Content
- Students:
- Solve problems involving the surface areas of right pyramids, right cones, spheres and related composite solids (ACMMG271)
- identify the 'perpendicular heights' and 'slant heights' of right pyramids and right cones
- apply Pythagoras' theorem to find the slant heights, base lengths and perpendicular heights of right pyramids and right cones
- devise and use methods to find the surface areas of right pyramids
- develop and use the formula to find the surface areas of right cones:
\(\text{Curved surface area of cone}=\pi rl\) where \(r\) is the length of the radius and \(l\) is the slant height
- use the formula to find the surface areas of spheres:
\(\text{Surface area of a sphere}=4\pi r^2\) where \(r\) is the length of the radius
- solve a variety of practical problems involving the surface areas of solids
Background Information
Pythagoras' theorem is applied here to right-angled triangles in three-dimensional space.
The focus in this substrand is on right pyramids and right cones. Dealing with oblique versions of these objects is difficult and is mentioned only as a possible extension.
The area of the curved surface of a hemisphere is \(2 \pi r^2\), which is twice the area of its base. This may be a way of making the formula for the surface area of a sphere look reasonable to students. Deriving the relationship between the surface area and the volume of a sphere by dissection into very small pyramids may be an extension activity for some students. Similarly, some students may investigate, as an extension, the surface area of a sphere by the projection of very small squares onto a circumscribed cylinder.
Language
The difference between the 'perpendicular heights' and the 'slant heights' of pyramids and cones should be made explicit to students. | https://syllabus.nesa.nsw.edu.au/mathematics/mathematics-k10/content/766/ | 2018-10-15T17:33:32 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

As a little girl, I longed for a normal family life–a Brady Bunch sort of family life that included trips to the Grand Canyon, sack races in the backyard, and the resolution of any conflict within a thirty minute time frame. Whatever you say, Mike. My childish longings found fertile ground in the solitude of my imagination where I created a rich landscape of characters who allowed me to foster dreams of what might be…someday.
Someday finally arrived. And from the moment he slipped the ring on my finger, I knew we would have a “normal” family. Which we did–and do.
Our family is as normal as any other. Socks never seem to match, the children argue about important matters…“I have he biggest spoon!” Meanwhile, my husband and I marvel at the ridiculous things we say…”Who put underwear on the dog?” These are the small delights and details of an everyday family.
But, along with the regular we’ve experienced the unwelcome–those changes in perception or circumstance that so substantially impact one person that the rest of the family feels the aftershock. None of us are exempt from these experiences. While we can’t identify with every situation, we can understand the disappointment, fear, and grief associated with them. Alzheimer’s…infertility…cancer…depression.
This, dear friends, is the normal of people living between the worlds of Today and Forever. Today’s normal is a beautiful, imperfect challenge. There are joys and sorrows; hurts and triumphs. If we pause for a moment from our rushing and worrying, we might just catch a glimpse of our Eternal Someday in a child’s belly laugh…an old couple’s tender kiss…a father praying for his family.
Someday…

In this online Faculty Showcase video, Drs. Gina Woodall and Tara Lennon from the School of Politics and Global Studies discuss how the use of social media, specifically Twitter and Facebook, affects classroom engagement.
They challenge the presumed limits of social media as a means for young adults to express thoughtful, evidence-based political views. As part of an ongoing study, they require tweets in certain classes and are developing the use of Twitter as a formative assessment (e.g., quick quizzes or lecture “take-away” comments in lieu of attendance). Most students are familiar with Twitter but they flip its role in the classroom to their advantage. Student responses to their questions are viewed in real-time as well as in re-caps of out-of-class tweets. For those too timid to speak in class, Twitter offers a safe alternative and, in some cases, an entry point to discussion. Facebook is also required in some of their classes and is used in lieu of traditional discussion boards. Research supports the benefits of enabling students to be producers—not just consumers– of course material. When students produce course-related Tweets and Facebook posts, it may contribute to their classroom engagement and, ideally, a habit of political engagement. Drs. Woodall and Lennon have found that students enjoy using Twitter and Facebook and report that they are more engaged because of the integration of social media.
After completing a pilot study in Spring 2014, Drs. Woodall and Lennon were awarded a grant by the Spencer Foundation to conduct another non-equivalent group quasi-experimental design in Spring 2015. They are also currently conducting content analysis of the tweets themselves for both iterations of the study and planning additional iterations of the project with other interested faculty. For questions about their project, please email them at gina.woodall@asu.edu and tara.lennon@asu.edu.

At its Computex event in Taipei today, Intel unveiled its new Core X-series of processors. The debut of its latest high-end desktop CPUs wasn’t a surprise after plans were leaked earlier this month, but the series’ flagship model — the 18-core, 36-thread Intel i9-7980XE — still makes a very loud splash.
Priced at an eye-watering $1,999, the Intel i9-7980XE will remain aspirational for all but a handful of consumers, but it serves as Intel’s salvo in its ongoing processor battle with AMD. With 16-cores and 32-threads, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper, announced earlier this month, was supposed to be a contender for the world’s most powerful consumer CPU, but it looks like Intel has taken back the mantle for now.. | https://techcrunch.com/2017/05/30/intel-reveals-its-new-18-core-36-thread-extreme-core-i9-processor-at-computex/ | 2018-10-15T17:31:44 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

In this Post, we will share an App from which you can earn money by editing Pictures, Sounds too good to be true, Right!. It would be very cool to earn some cash on what we love to do. We can do it as a part time work and earn some cash.
Now let me Tell you how will all these go, All you need to do is Install an app Called Mendr. The app works on crowdsourcing to match you with users who want their photo to be edited.
Mendr app has 2 set of users, plenty (who need their picture to be edited) and editors (who edit the photos). Suppose, if you’re a user and need to urge your picture edited, then Mendr can recommend your picture edit request to the editors. The app also let users the facility to control over the edits they specifically need. Mendr may even be the simplest app if you wish to earn a little side income together with your picture editing skills.
To start earning from the app, you have to give the test that they have provided for editors. The app has three test options for beginners, intermediate and advanced. Rejected editors can also re-apply for the test again in two weeks.

In one promotional picture for MSI's latest gaming laptop, the GT75VR Titan, you can see a single hand holding up the beastly thing. Given that the "laptop" weighs in at a full 10 pounds (4.5 kg), that's absurd. That sets the tone for the entire machine. This beastly piece of hardware is ridiculous, and I kind of want one.
The machine uses an Intel Core i7-7820HK across all versions, a CPU with four cores and eight threads clocked at up to 3.9 GHz. The video card in the cheapest model is a single Nvidia GTX 1070 with 8 GB of RAM. That single card can be ramped up to an SLI configuration of two GTX 1070s and, finally, a single GeForce GTX 1080 in the most expensive edition. System RAM configurations begin at 32 GB of DDR4 at 2400 MT/s and go up to 64 GB.
Storage options, meanwhile, are equally overpowered. The low-end model—if we can even apply that term here—has a setup with dual 512 GB NVMe M.2 SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration, accompanied by a 1 TB 7200-RPM SATA hard drive. The higher end model's primary storage is a pair of 1 TB NVMe SSDs in RAID 0, coupled with the same 1 TB mechanical drive.
The hardware on the outside of the machine is no less impressive than the stuff inside. For the screen, you can go with a 17.3" 1920x1080 display with a 120-Hz refresh rate and a 3-ms response time. MSI says that panel can reproduce 94% of the NTSC color gamut. The second screen option is a 3840x2160 IPS display that can MSI says can cover 100% of the Adobe RGB color space. The keys on the SteelSeries keyboard offer 3 mm of travel and have a 1.5-mm actuation point. The switches come from Kailh, and there's per-key RGB LED lighting on tap.
As far as peripheral connectivity goes, you'll get a USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C port with Thunderbolt 3 support, five USB 3.0 ports, and HDMI 2.0 and Mini DisplayPort 1.2 outputs. The machine also packs a Killer 10 Gbps Ethernet adapter that MSI says is a first on a gaming laptop.
Pricing for the GT75VR Titan begins at $3,300. If you have the kind of scratch necessary to pick up this beast, you can find three models at Newegg or Amazon. The base Titan with 64GB of RAM, a GeForce GTX 1070, and the 120-Hz 1920x1080 screen is going for $3,300 (Amazon shopping link here). Stepping up to the Titan SLI with dual GeForce GTX 1070s and the 4K screen, albeit with 32 GB of system RAM, will set you back $3,700 (you can click here for the Amazon page). Finally, $4,300 at Newegg (or Amazon) will get you the Titan Pro and its GeForce GTX 1080, 64 GB of RAM, 1 TB SSDs, and a 4K display. | https://techreport.com/news/32509/msi-gt75vr-titan-asks-a-kingly-sum-for-a-beastly-laptop | 2018-10-15T18:43:54 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Last week, I talked about using controlled breathing to turn off the “Fight or Flight Response” in your body and minimize the harmful effects of stress on your body. You can build on that to reduce stress even more.
MIND AND BODY
Reducing stress requires mind and body relaxing together. Mental relaxation is probably harder for most people — for good reason. Most of us think all the time. More than 50,000 thoughts flash through your mind every day. Buddhists call this mindless internal monologue “Chatter” or “Monkey Mind”.
Most “chatter” is negative. Brooding on the past, self-criticism, worries, to-do lists, and so on. This stuff has a powerful effect on your body and psyche.
A thought is reality to your body.
Worrying releases the same destructive hormones that would be released if the worried-about event were really happening. The goal of all relaxation techniques is to anchor your mind in the present, to shut out anxiety and negative thoughts, most of which are locked into the past or future.
An intense focus on “now”, including how you are breathing, can override “Chatter.” It will give your mind a mini vacation, a brief, therapeutic — and probably much-needed — break.
Abdominal breathing is a form of meditation. It can help alleviate symptoms of ADD, reduce fidgeting and short attention span.
When you’re in a stressed breathing pattern, you can shift to abdominal breathing. This will pretty much instantly reduce tension, focus your mind, and increase your energy level. It do the same thing to your mind if you feel yourself going into a particularly toxic session of “Monkey Mind” negativity.
VISUALIZATION
Start taking slow, steady abdominal breaths until you feel your body relax. You can start a counting exercise as you breathe. Or you can go directly into a mini visualization, as follows:
- Imagine, with each inhalation, you’re breathing peace, calm, and well-being in to every part of your body. With each exhalation, imagine you’re blowing the tension and negativity out.
- Try saying “peace in” each time you inhale — and “tension out” each time you exhale.
- Picture a giant wave of relaxation and tranquility pouring over you with each breath you take, soaking through your body from the top down as you complete inhaling and exhaling.
- Feel the tension melt away from the muscles in your head and neck. Then feel it flow down your shoulders, arms, torso — finally your pelvis, legs and feet.
- When a wave has saturated your body with relaxation, visualize another coming in with your next breath. You can add color and light to each wave — your favorite color or a bright light.
- When you feel loose and mellow, refocus on your breath, then gradually transition back to your day.
It turns out that the process of learning stress control techniques can ease tension and anxiety.
Research shows that feeling helpless creates as much — or more — physiological damage as would the thing or event you fear. Feeling in control reduces stress. All by itself. If you know you can do something to help yourself cope, you won’t feel overwhelmed or helpless. Stress will have less control over you.
An old but still relevant example is an Air Force study made during World War II. The study showed that co-pilots suffered from more stress during combat missions than pilots. Pilots were in control of the plane; co-pilots were not.
It’s reassuring to know that one of the reasons mind-body techniques work is that they enhance your sense of control over yourself — and therefore your life.

Good advice for dealing with El Duque
Do whatever helps with Duke. Maybe try to teach him some zen exercises. Rub his belly and talk soothingly to him. See if you can get him to sit still, calmly with you for a short while a few times a day. Just something to turn off the wired part of his brain for a few moments here and there.
He isn’t a good listener. My friend Sophie (breeder and friend) says that the “baby puppy” part of the dog affects the dog a lot more than we think. Duke doesn’t take a hint. “No” to him means “keep doing it, but harder.” He has been goring me with his claws, so I’ve got bandages all over my arms. He isn’t trying to hurt me, mind you. It’s just that I’m a bit fragile and he is a strong little dog. He really isn’t a bad kid, but he is jealous of the other dogs and he’s even jealous if Garry and I get too close. He has to be in the middle.
He is better than he was, but he’s hard work for us. We are used to gentler dogs.
There was a whole book written many years ago called something like, “Your Body Believes Every Word You Say!” So if you say something is a pain in your neck, your body thinks there is a pain in your neck. If you say something is killing you, your body absorbs that negative thought as reality. Fascinating research out there!
I like that “Monkey mind”. To do lists are always rolling around in my mind. One does have to let go and breathing is a good method.
Leslie
I love the phrase ‘monkey mind’ too! It’s so descriptive of the chatter in your brain that doesn’t let you relax or go to sleep. The lists running through our brains are what shortens our lives and makes us crazy! We’ll get things done even if we don’t obsess about it 24/7! Breathing is my favorite mind cleanser. You can’t run through lists of you’re focusing on your breathing, especially if you’re counting and timing your breaths.
