Self doubt is a dream killer. Let me rephrase that statement. We kill our own dreams because we give in to our own self doubt. As humans, we often underestimate our power.
I selected the picture on top not only because of the quote, but also the picture. It represents a popular story that I was told many years ago concerning a Circus Bull Elephant tied to a peg in the ground. The elephant had been tied to that same peg ever since it was a calf. Even though full grown male elephants can weigh up to 14000 pounds, this particular elephant had been conditioned to believe that it was bound by that short rope and peg. It was convinced that it was unable to set itself free. This poor beast had created a kind of mental prison for itself without even realizing it. Realistically , all it had to do is literally start walking forward and the peg would have uprooted without any resistance, end of story. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to come to that conclusion, am I right? Yet, that wasn’t the reality experienced by that elephant. Potentially, it could have stayed the rest of his life there waiting for someone else to feed and take care of it. The chains of self doubt had a firm grip on the elephant and they were deeply rooted in the ground of his psyche. For many of us, I wonder if we are any different? I have said it before and I will say it again. Mental slavery is far worse than physical slavery will ever be. The first step towards freeing yourself is to first realize that you are enslaved. Next, is to do the work…
That statement was actually a quote by political leader and entrepreneur, Marcus Garvey. The reggae/folk singer and song writer, Bob Marley, popularized the statement in one of his songs titled , “Redemption Song.”
The words ring true for all of us striving to realize our highest potential in any area of our lives. Your thoughts become the things, people and circumstances that “show up” in your life. What do you really think about yourself , your environment and the people around you? Do you know your worth? How do you determine it? Is it based on others opinion of you or your own? Perhaps a “reevaluation” is in order.
You are both unique and precious. The depth of your potential for global impact is like a bottomless well waiting to be dipped into. There are no “true” limits other than the one’s that YOU establish. You are either your own jailer or liberator. I have identified some “keys” that perhaps you can use to break out for good! Lets’ get started.
Stop Dwelling on the Past
I like that last statement. Respect the lesson. Don’t dwell on it. Stop allowing your mistakes to define you. Own up to them . Be determined to learn from your failure so that the experience would not have been for nothing. Beating yourself up about something that happened years ago is futile. Why worry about what you can’t change? This is wasted energy. Focus on doing better and move on.
Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
Personally, I have made this mistake numerous times. I had set benchmarks for myself that I was convinced had to be reached by certain points in life. For example, I believed that you had a homeowner by 30 years old in order to be considered successful. This is not true. Another example is that I believed that you had to be established in your career by age 35. This also is not true. There are many others that I could mention. The point is that based on the benchmark , I would compare myself with other men my age to gauge if whether or not I was on point in my life. I never took into consideration unexpected setbacks. I have had some major one’s in my life in past five years. Comparing myself to where others were in my life was a major “downer”.
Be careful with social media. In many cases, people seemed to be always posting themselves at different events while doing all of these great things. It’s easy to compare yourself with them. Always remember that everyone has a back story.Don’t get caught up in the hype. At certain points, I felt like a complete failure and felt so depressed that I wasn’t sure if I could ever bounce back. I felt hopeless to the point where I questioned whether or not I wanted to continue living at all. Yes, I actually contemplated suicide. Perhaps I was being melodramatic, but that is how I felt. I saw no way out because I kept comparing myself to others and what they had accomplished at certain points in their lives. How could I ever compete? I found that I didn’t have to.
What saved me was researching different successful individuals that had hit a “rock bottom” yet bounced back against the odds. At any point in history you can learn about someone who had to reinvent themselves despite their apparent circumstances. They all shared certain outstanding qualities that set each of them apart from the “herd.” They each established a clear , authentic, unique vision. They each also possessed a strong belief in themselves and an iron will. None of them determined their self worth through comparing their selves to others. This fact made them trendsetters instead of trend followers. Establish your own truth apart from the status quo. Be your own movement.
Use Positive Affirmations
In order to overcome self doubt, we must learn to manage our self talk.Affirmations can help. An affirmation is a positive statement that can help you to challenge and overcome self sabotaging and negative thoughts.By nature, we are creators. We create with our thoughts,words and actions. It is our nature for better or worse. Where you are at now in your life is a direct reflection of your perception of yourself and your world. The more conscious you are of your thoughts the more empowered you will be to change them. Your words are also powerful. They carry vibration and energy that always produce an effect on some level. The French psychologist and pharmacist,Emile Coue, coined an extremely popular phrase,”Everyday in every way I’m getting better and better.” This is a very simple yet powerful affirmation. It carries three profound implications:
a) Improvement is taking place in your life right now.
b)Improvements will continue to take happen in the future.
c) Improvements will happen in every area of your life.
This is an all-purpose affirmation. It’s also easy to remember. You can also create your own such as , “I am strong.”, “I am beautiful.”, ” I am smart.” etc… You get the idea. Words are powerful. Choose wisely.
Don’t Be Concerned With What Other People Think
Can I be honest with you? No one gives a damn about you! I know that sounds harsh and totally opposite of what this blog is about , but hear me out. I wrote the above statement for shock value. Honestly, for many of you , there are a lot of people who care a lot about you even if they may not always show it. The point that I want to make is that the vast majority of people around you are probably focused on their own personal situation(family,finances,job status, marriage,children,etc) It has been my experience that most people are too focused on trying to figure out life for themselves than to be concerned about yours. Get over it. If there are people who spend most of their time thinking about you , they have a personal problem. As the old saying goes,” If someone is talking about me behind my back, it’s none of my business.” Stop worrying about it. Invest the majority of your time on your own personal development.
Enough said.Be your own movement. Mind your own business. Demand happiness from the universe and the universe MUST give it you!!
Stop doubting yourself, okay?!!
I will end with this statement: BELIEVE IN YOURSELF SO FEROCIOUSLY THAT ANYONE WOULD BE AFRAID NOT TO….
Until next time… | <urn:uuid:5c78e79e-e3db-4cb9-be90-1642287b7ce3> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 7,695 |

[David Duke Announces For US Senate]
Dr. David Duke
Member House of Representatives-La (1989-1994)
[David Ernest Duke (born July 1, 1950):] Source: LYBIO.net
After the great outpouring of overwhelming support, I’m proud to announce my candidacy for United States Senate.
I believe in equal rights for all and respect for ALL Americans. However, what makes me different is I also demand respect for the rights and the heritage of European Americans.
I passed the only bill in American forbidding affirmative action programs that racially discriminated against the best qualified.
Thousands of special interest groups stand up for African Americans, Mexican Americans, Jewish Americans etcetera etcetera.
The fact is that European Americans need at least one man in the United States Senate – One MAN in the Congress who will defend their rights and heritage.
We must stop the massive immigration and ethnic cleansing of the people whose forefathers created America.
I was the first major candidate in modern times to promote the term and policy of ‘America First’. We cannot have free trade without fair trade, we must protect American jobs and businesses.
We must have total campaign reform, it’s time to end all political PAC money and the control of politics by the oligarchs of finance and media.
We must enforce anti-trust laws to break-up the anti-America huge media conglomerates.
The New York Times admitted that my platform became the GOP mainstream and propelled Republicans to the control of Congress.
They sold us out.
I’m overjoyed to see Donald Trump and most Americans embrace most of the issues that I’ve championed for years.
My slogan remains America first.
I’ve always said equal rights for all, special interests for none, I’ve always opposed these wars that lead our nation to disaster, I have supported fair trade.
The people of Louisiana and America must have at least one man in the Senate who will never surrender, never give up, never sell out to the special interests.
The time is now, a revolution is coming in the United States of America for the real people, the vast majority of the American people. We are going to go against the special interests, we are going to free our country and we are going to change the politics of America.

It is difficult for me to go into this topic unless I have the full source material. For this reason, I will use a quote from William T. Sherman regarding how the US military made the world safe from the threat of terrorism.
“The war against terror, as it was always designed, was a very large war. It was not only a war to be fought by the navy and army. The navy and army and the air force all had different functions. But the war that the government wanted to wage was a war that would have the whole world against it. It was a war of annihilation. It was a war between the good and the evil. It was a war of the future.
The way the “good” fought the “evil” was to make sure that the good won. That is, the “good” could either have a monopoly on violence or it could have a monopoly on terror. The government and the military decided that the “good” would be victorious, so they built a system of weapons and technology that could achieve this goal.
The weapons they came up with were just as powerful as they would ever be. The only difference was that the good had more of them and the evil had fewer. But even then, the good couldn’t use them all because no one would want to pay to get their hands on them. This is how technology was invented, and it was a good thing.

This is how technology was invented, and it was a good thing.
The great thing about the internet and the advent of the web was that it could easily make the invention of weapons a lot easier. With the internet, the government and military could not only share the technology of the “good” and the “evil”, but they could also easily control who got access to them in the first place. So you could say that the internet killed the good and the evil.
The internet has also made it easier to create weapons in the first place. In fact, with the internet you could make a weapon that could easily kill a lot more people than a conventional gun. We were recently able to see a video of a man that was able to use a web camera to make it so a bullet can travel through a web camera and hit what we see on the screen. Howell (a former U.S.
company created the video of the man that was able to do this by having a web camera placed on a door and a camera placed on a wall, and the camera on the camera on the wall was able to project a web video that could be viewed by a camera on a door. In fact, the video can be viewed from a distance of 10 feet. It’s so clear that the technology in this video wasn’t just created by a single company.
Like the bullet, some web cameras are actually equipped with night vision, enabling them to see in the dark. Other cameras can be controlled from afar, and both are able to project video and audio. Howell also created an app for the iPhone that allows you to see what the camera on a web camera sees. | <urn:uuid:40030636-21c2-469a-9559-a4d9eeda1156> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,221 |

St. Elmo Hero wins 24th, then scratched
St. Elmo Hero, the harness racing horse named after a late St. Elmo man, earned his 24th straight win at Balmoral Park near Chicago to tie the record for most consecutive wins to start a career.
The horse was scheduled to race at the Cam Fella Stakes in Canada last weekend, but he was scratched because he is sick.
The stakes would have been the richest prize of his career had he won.

A recent study found that using ultrasonic pulses in certain locations on a daily basis can lower glucose tolerance and insulin concentrations and prevent diabetes. Researchers have demonstrated that brief ultrasonic pulses focused on specific nerve groups in the liver can lower insulin and glucose ratios. The approach, which was tested on three animals, was shown to be effective in treating Type 2 diabetes. The study was carried out by GE Research in collaboration with researchers from Yale School of Medicine, UCLA, and the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research. According to the study, which was reported in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering, a revolutionary non-invasive ultrasound approach is devised in the research to trigger particular sensory receptors in the liver. The method enables highly focused ultrasound impulses to be delivered to cells containing sensory neurons.
If the forthcoming clinical studies corroborate the findings, Raimund Herzog, a Yale School of Medicine endocrinologist involved in the project, stated that “ultrasound neuromodulation would constitute an intriguing and altogether new complement to the current therapeutic choices for our patients.” According to the study, diabetic mice given just three minutes of concentrated ultrasound each day had decreased blood glucose levels. The approach has not yet been tested on people. The procedure now necessitates the use of skilled technicians, but the team is striving to make it suitable for at-home self-treatment. The technology employed in the study necessitates the employment of skilled professionals, although it is intended to be used at home for successful therapy.
In the meantime, while type 2 diabetes can be managed to avoid by living a healthy lifestyle, maintaining healthy body weight, and ultimately being handled without drugs, type 1 diabetes cannot be avoided, and that is why researchers from all over the world are collaborating on numerous inoculations that could counteract the situation and consider offering a feasible remedy. The researchers indicated how brief pulses of ultrasound focused on specific clusters of neurons in the liver may effectively reduce insulin and glucose concentrations in three distinct experimental models of obesity (mice, rats, and pigs). Three minutes of intense ultrasound each day was all that was required to maintain diabetic mice’s blood glucose concentrations normal.
According to the study, three minutes of concentrated ultrasound each day is enough to maintain appropriate blood sugar levels in diabetic animals. It is now time to prepare for the transfer to human studies; there have already been minor technical issues that may be resolved in the intermediate future.”We’re in the midst of human study phases for type 2 diabetes, which will ultimately lead to clinical trials,” Puleo says. “Ultrasound might represent a watershed moment in how bioelectronic medications are utilized and applied to illnesses like type 2 diabetes in the future.” Of course, technology is available that streamlines and automates these systems for use by patients at home, but it must be improved before ultrasound therapy for diabetes can become widely available. | <urn:uuid:f8ef749e-abc8-49cd-9bd7-e0626779ab24> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 3,214 |

Last week, a friend a past parent of one of my kindergarteners (who is now in 3rd grade!), asked if I would help create some items for her youngest daughter’s birthday party. The party was going to be a surprise (so exciting!), and it would have pinks, purples, ice cream, and other sweets. She wanted me to make tags for the “gift bags” that actually weren’t gift bags at all as well print a poem for the occasion. Are you ready for this totally cute idea?
The idea was that the girls would put a jelly bean in a mini flower pot at the beginning of the party. Then, through the course of the party, then jelly bean would “grow” into a bouquet of flower-shaped lollipops.
Well, I was so excited to get my creativity hat on, especially since I had been so focused on school (I miss my crafting time that I had in the summer). I planned a trip to Hobby Lobby that same night.
There, I bought many different pieces of paper:
*9 purple cardstock (8.5×11″ so I could print directly on it) – this was for the tag itself
*1 rainbow-blended scrapbook paper – this became the lollipop
*1 brown cardstock – this was the cone
*1 minty green cardstock – this was the ice cream
*1 light pink cardstock – this was the flower
*1 light purple cardstock – this was the flower
*1 hot pink in 8.5×11″ – this was the poem
*1 patchwork-look in 8.5×11″ – this was the background of the poem
I also had some other supplies that I used:
*a small flower-shaped paper punch
*a quilling tool
*a tag-shaped paper punch
I decided that I would do a combination of quilling and the paper punch to make the tags. Quilling (or paper filigree) is an old art form that can be used to create some amazing, intricate works of art. Now, I am nowhere near talented enough for art, but they turn out pretty cool and unique! Here’s an example of some basic quilling shapes:
First, I printed the thank you saying on the tags. I used font Grenouille, which I believe I downloaded ages ago form DaFont.com. Then, I cut up many slivers in the different colors that I would need. I got to work with my quilling tool (just $3.99 from Hobby Lobby). You can also make these with two toothpicks side-by-side taped together on one end.
Next, I had to create the lollipop, ice cream, and then the cone by pinching a triangle out of the brown curled paper.
Gluing it down proved to be the hardest part. My glue was supposed to dry clear (which it did on the sample that I made), but it didn’t.
Some of them looked like melted ice cream (cue the tuba playing “wah, waaaah”).
But look at how cute these were!
Here are some pictures from the party. Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of the finished product at the party (I couldn’t stay long enough to see the flowers “grow.”). | <urn:uuid:a2973710-1936-40c3-b122-c4ba855083dc> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,725 |

Dr Keith Syrett argues for a reappraisal of the role of public law adjudication in questions of healthcare rationing. As governments worldwide turn to explicit rationing strategies to manage the mismatch between demand for and supply of health services and treatments, disappointed patients and the public have sought to contest the moral authority of bodies making rationing decisions. This has led to the growing involvement of law in this field of public policy. The author argues that, rather than bemoaning this development, those working within the health policy community should recognise the points of confluence between the principles and purposes of public law and the proposals which have been made to address rationing's 'legitimacy problem'. Drawing upon jurisprudence from England, Canada and South Africa, the book evaluates the capacity of courts to establish the conditions for a process of public deliberation from which legitimacy for healthcare rationing may be derived.
Dr Keith Syrett is a Solicitor and Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Bristol.

Campbell County Catholic school names secret donor
ALEXANDRIA -Wilfred H. Neltner didn’t want his name above the $8.3 million addition he paid for at Bishop Brossart High School.
Neltner’s name is there anyway now.
The Catholic school in Alexandria put Neltner’s name atop the main entrance April 25 more than four months after his death. The exact amount of Neltner’s donation to Bishop Brossart, which goes beyond the addition, remains undisclosed and a tightly-held secret.
Neltner’s identity as a major donor at Bishop Brossart and at St. Joseph Parish in Cold Spring was kept secret for eight years. Neltner, of Cold Spring, died at age 92 Dec. 9, 2015.
Neltner founded three companies with his brother Tony after he returned from service in the Marines in World War II. The Neltner brothers founded Kentucky Ohio Indiana Auto Parts (KOI), Neltner Oil and Kentucky Auto Parts.
Tom Munninghoff, Neltner’s longtime adviser and accountant, said Neltner swore him to secrecy about donations to Bishop Brossart.
“He did agree on his passing that it was okay to let a few people know,” Munninghoff said before pointing to Neltner’s name on the building. “I don’t know if we kept that, but it’s alright I guess.”
Neltner stipulated his 2008 capital campaign contributions to St. Joseph Parish in Cold Springs remain undisclosed as well.
“He is the St. Joseph School Educational Endowment,” Munninghoff said.
Munninghoff, chairman of Bishop Brossart’s capital campaign committee, said Neltner decided to give to Bishop Brossart in 2009. Neltner thought the school’s planned addition was needed after seeing a set of concept drawings.
“Without Wil, this building would probably not be here today,” Munninghoff said.
Raising money for an eventual addition would have taken much longer, he said.
The gift to Bishop Brossart came with one stipulation.
“No fanfare,” Munninghoff said. “No noise and no one was to know that it was Wil Neltner.”
“Not many people can be that humble — that meek,” continued Munninghoff.
Neltner lived in the same Cold Spring home he grew up in. Neltner never married or had children.
Munninghoff said he felt lucky to be counted among Neltner’s tight circle of friends. Catholic faith and family, including 21 nieces and nephews, were what was important to Neltner.
Neltner prayed the rosary every day and never wanted any kind of attention. Trust had to be earned, Munninghoff said.
The Most Reveverend Roger J. Foys, bishop of the Diocese of Covington, wasn’t in on the secret of Bishop Brossart’s secret donor until two years after Neltner started making regular donations.
Foys said he needed to know Bishop Brossart’s donor was real, and the money was real, before approving the start of construction on a new addition in 2013.
Munninghoff, and Neltner’s niece Mary Riesenbeck of Alexandria, told Foys about Neltner’s wishes in a private meeting.
“After they told me, every time I passed KOI Auto Parts I said a prayer for Wil,” Foys said.
Riesenbeck, speaking for the family, said St. Joseph “was everything” to her uncle. Neltner, a graduate of Newport Central Catholic High School, wanted to spread Catholic education and opportunities for students at Bishop Brossart.
“It’s what we’re all about. It’s Catholic education and it’s paying it forward,” Riesenbeck said.
Bishop Brossart senior Abby King of Alexandria said she enjoys creating pottery in art classes and going to the new chapel inside Neltner’s addition.
Every Bishop Brossart student watched as Neltner’s name was unveiled by Foys.
“I think that the Brossart community really honored the family really well today,” King said. | <urn:uuid:02fcf562-7af1-4e88-a2e8-a08e35fd97dc> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,618 |

Germany’s John Degenkolb won the fifth stage of the Vuelta a Espaa after edging ahead of Italy’s Daniele Bennati in the final seconds while Spain’s Joaquin Rodriguez held on to the overall lead. Degenkolb of Argos-Shimano, who also won the second stage, finished the 168-kilometer (104-mile) ride that began and ended in the northern city of Logrono in 4:10:37. Bennati of Radioshack-Nissan launched a sprint in the final minutes and managed to open up a significant gap but in the final meters Degenkolb picked up speed and inched ahead of the Italian at the finish line.
“It was unbelievable it was so fast. My team delivered me perfectly and I just did the sprint in the final 200 meters,” Degenkolb said of the final kilometer of the race. “It was a relatively easy win with a lot of tension in the final kilometers. Two victories in five days. It’s incredible,” he added.
The previous two stages included hilltop finishes and Wednesday’s urban circuit in Logrono allowed for a rare chance for sprinters to shine during this year’s race. Temperatures in Logrono hit 32 degrees Celsius (90 Fahrenheit). Rodriguez finished safely in the peloton to hold on to the overall leaders’ red jersey for the second straight day as well as keeping his one-second advantage over Chris Froome of Team Sky.
“Today’s stage has gone well except at the end which was really stressful, especially the last lap,” said Rodriguez.
Spain’s Alberto Contador, who is racing for the first time since a doping suspension, is in third place in the overall standings, five seconds behind the leader.
Thursday’s stage will take the riders from Tarazona to Jaca, a distance of 175.4 kilometers that includes two virtually back-to-back third category climbs. | <urn:uuid:f2e2fc59-3cac-42e1-a039-4b9f4f2111c5> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,730 |

PRINCIPAL CASTAdam Driver
WRITERRobert Seidman, Oren Rudavsky
Joseph Pulitzer arrived in the United States during the Civil War as a penniless immigrant who spoke no English and proceeded to create two best-selling newspapers - and a major fortune. Pulitzer was famous for the financial success of his newspapers and his outspoken editorial voice. From the start of his career, Pulitzer championed the sacred role of free press in a democracy. | <urn:uuid:f50bc138-e2f6-4629-ab67-8ac2b17d4070> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 506 |
Miami Symphony “Flash Mobs” MIA
MIAMI (CBS4) – It wasn’t your typical Muzak which greeted international travelers arriving at the South Terminal of Miami International Airport on Saturday.
Travelers and their family members there to meet them were met by a flash mob performance of sorts by the Miami Symphony Orchestra.
“Imagine that you are arriving with from Europe or Central America. You have your suitcase in your hands and you find yourself in the middle of a performance of real classical music. It’s a wow moment,” says MISO music director and conductor Eduardo Marturet, who led a similar performance at Aventura Mall last year. “The idea was to transform the terminal into a concert hall and maybe even give the people arriving here a different idea of what Miami is about, something beyond the sun and the beach.”
The performance, titled Romantic Finale, was part of the MISO’s Music in Unsuspected Spaces program, and a perfect complement to the airport’s efforts to offer more art and culture.
For two hours, the 90-piece ensemble and Russian-born pianist Yury Shadrin played the music of Johannes Brahms and Sergei Rachmaninoff and Antonin Dvorak as passengers, pilots and flight attendants passed through the terminal.
Almost all were drawn to the elegant symphonic music in ways big and small. Some simply turned to face the music as they passed through. Some slowed down and paused. Some found a place to stop and listen, fully engaged. Some rushed over to film video clips using their cell phones.
“This is just excellent! It was so nice to be greeted by this beautiful music,” says Lucy Daes, on a layover from Barranquilla, Columbia, to New York. “I could hear the music when I was in customs and then the doors opened. I have never seen anything like this. It’s a full orchestra.”
As Margaret Hoffman waited for her daughter’s flight to arrive from Frankfort, she stood still, transfixed by the sounds. Everything about the moment was a first. Hearing the music; watching a conductor make magic; seeing the musicians, all dressed in black.
“I feel like I am in a real concert hall,” says Hoffman who lives in South Dade. “This is amazing but more than that, totally unexpected in an airport.”
Which is precisely the point.
In recent years, organizations have worked to demystify and grant access to art and culture and engage the community. In November, the Knight Foundation’s Random Acts of Culture, offered spontaneous musical performances of Leonard Bernstein’s Maria and America from West Side Story at the airport — just one of the many places it has taken its cultural performances.
Saturday’s event cost about $40,000. The Miami-Dade Aviation Department contributed $5,000, in addition to private sponsors including shoemakers Donald and Lisa Pliner, who provided new shoes for each of the orchestra members.
“Our mission is to humanize the airport environment, make it a welcoming space for passengers in what we know can be a stressful experience,” says Yolanda Sánchez, the airport’s director of Fine Arts and Cultural Affairs, which has brought a series of art exhibits to the airport. “We also want to support the arts and culture in our community.”

The problem arises though when you have to reconcile that fun, which you know will likely be short-lived, with the high price that Microsoft has stuck on the Kinect controller. We really like playing Dance Central, but we also know that we arent going to be playing it come the end of the week and if we do then itll be a rare, drunken event. That means we find it hard to justify recommending Kinect, or think of it as anything other than a me-too gimmick an opinion well stand by until Kinects awesome potential is realised.

THE HHGE FLAT WINDOWS: WHO OWNS? WHO REPAIRS?
The responsibility for the repair and maintenance of the HHGE windows is clearly defined in the Head Lease of Hanger Hill Garden Estate Ltd (the owner of the freehold land on which the flats were built and the common parts). Each flat owner owns one share in HHGE Ltd.
HEAD LEASE 4.5 REPAIR OF BUILDING
‘To carry out and to provide the works and services set out in paragraph 11 of the Fourth Schedule hereto Provided that without prejudice to its liability to keep the Estate in a good state of repair the Lessor shall have power to discontinue or modify any of the matters referred to in the Fourth Schedule whether to the Estate as a whole or to a Flat which in the opinion of the Lessor shall have become impracticable obsolete unnecessary or excessively costly provided that in deciding whether or not to discontinue such matter the Lessor shalt consult with but shall not be bound by the views of the lessees of the flats in the Estate
FIRST SCHEDULE: Flat Demise. Areas which are the responsibility of the (HHGE Ltd)
5.iv. The windows window frames doors and door frames in walls bounding the flat and the main entrance door and frame to the flat in the walls bounding the flat.
FOURTH SCHEDULE Paragraph 11 Works and Services’
11.1 Save for the cleaning of windows which are the responsibility of the Lessees of the flats within the Estate, the works and services mentioned in paragraph 9.1 above are:
(a) Structure etc
Maintenance repair cleaning redecoration replacement renewal demolition and rebuilding (whenever necessary or desirable) of and compliance with codes of practice and the requirements of statutes and regulation affecting, main structures sheds, roofs foundations external walls party walls and structures boundary walls fences and railings windows window frames chimneys and chimney pots doors door frames balconies and terraces and their railings.
SUMMARY: Legal Responsibility for Window Repairs and Maintenance
The HHGE Head Lease makes it clear that the windows and their frames are owned by HHGE Ltd and the responsibility for repair and replacement therefore lies with the HHGE Board, not with the individual flat owner, except that the flat owner is responsible for damage to the window glass “arising out of any act, neglect default or omission of the Lessee its servants agents licensees or invitees”. The costs of window repairs or replacement can be recovered by the HHGE Board through the service charge levied on each flat owner. | <urn:uuid:0b69469f-79cb-4414-9eab-82c402fe9e62> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,515 |
Involving children, young people and families
Involvement of children, young people and families is an intrinsic part of inclusion. While the assessments and opinions of education and health professionals will also be vital to the coordination of including a child or young person with a spinal cord injury, it is the school’s response to the experiences of that individual that will determine the success of his or her inclusion.
“My advice to staff is to talk to the student, don’t feel bad or embarrassed or shy about talking to them about their spinal cord injury. This might seem like a little thing but it can make a huge difference to the student. Asking them what they want is so important.” Ben, 17
The most important thing to remember about the inclusion of a child or young person with a spinal cord injury is to ensure they are at the heart of the process.
“The absolute key thing is person-centred planning so ask the child. This is where schools often go wrong because they’re looking for this pill that someone else is going to give them where actually they have the power themselves to change what they are doing. That young person is the absolute number one best person to tell them what they need. And people forget that. They’re waiting for some expert of genius to come along and tell them where actually the expert is right in front of them – it’s a young person.”
Nigel Utton, Headteacher, Bromstone Primary School and Chair, Heading for Inclusion
The process of participation and involvement will depend on a number of factors including the age of the child or young person, their personality, how they are coping with their injury, and their previous experiences of school life, among other factors. But regardless of all these factors, the characteristics of this participation should always be the same: consistent, genuine, transparent and responsive. Legislation supports children’s participation in all matters affecting them, that their views are respected and their best interests are considered at all times in article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (ratified by the UK in 1991).
“Most of the things I’ve learned are by talking to the child. They’re the experts on their needs and they can help you quite a lot.”
Dr. Phil Vickerman, Professor of Inclusive Education and Learning, Liverpool John Moores University
Children and young people have said repeatedly that they want to be consulted on their own lives. From an Institute of Education report on the school lives of children and young people with spinal cord injuries:
“Ask the person in the wheelchair what they want to do and what they think about things instead of asking the parents all the time.” Julie, 18
Involving parents and families is also very important for the inclusion of their child. Not only will families be able to provide valuable insight and information into the requirements of the child, but they will need to feel involved so they can properly support their child’s adjustment.
Additionally, families will also likely be struggling with the stress and trauma of a spinal cord injury and will greatly appreciate the support of an inclusive school environment that feels welcoming and open to their child’s new needs.
Strategies and methods for involving young people and their families:
1. Support children and young people to participate and contribute in ways they are comfortable with. It may be daunting and difficult to make decisions related to their new circumstances, so sensitivity, encouragement and responsiveness are important characteristics of the process of involving the child or young person.
“Following our student’s trauma, she was surrounded by a lot of professionals involved in her rehabilitation and the process of integrating back into home and school life. The presence of so many people is to help but it can also be overwhelming. Suddenly an awful lot of people to deal with. At school we were aware that this can all be ‘a bit much’. We felt it was important to encourage our student to make her own decisions and express her views but only when she specifically wished.” SENCO, Gloucestershire
2. Organise a meeting involving professionals, families and the child or young person before they return to school. This meeting could communicate the child or young person’s requirements, determine how the school should respond to these and assess physical access alongside professionals like an occupational therapist. Children and young people should be given the option to attend and participate in these meetings.
3. Hold regular review meetings to go over the current support plan, how the student is doing and any further adjustments that need to be made. Include the child or young person and family in review meetings and use them as times to discuss goal planning and future decisions, any classroom concerns, transport issues, or access or equipment problems.
4. Consult with the parents and the young person about accessibility and involve them in the planning of any changes to buildings.
5. Be clear and consistent in your communication with the child or young person and their family. They should know what to expect from the school and be able to rely on it.
6. Work with the child and young person in the selection and use of specialist equipment. Some students with spinal cord injuries in a recent study on their school experiences reported feeling singled out by being given equipment they didn’t actually feel was necessary.
“The tables were fine! It irritated me because they didn’t need to change it. I didn’t even need a ‘high-low’ table – they were making a big fanfare over something that was fine. It meant I was restricted where I sat every lesson. I had to sit at the front which was annoying.” Julie, 18
7. Inform parents of how you have managed the practical issues, particularly those related to health and medical needs. (E.g. What medical staff are available? What 1:1 support will the child have? How will you manage their catheters and any manual handling requirements? What happens if the child falls out of their wheelchair? How will your child participate in physical education?)
8. Encourage parents to share any relevant aspects of the child’s medical care, though there may be some hesitation or resistance to be open about the issues the child or young person is facing. You should be sensitive to this, particularly as the entire family has experienced significant trauma. Providing privacy and a comfortable environment can help in situations where difficult issues are discussed. Parents are important sources of information – and this communication will also help them remain involved in their child’s support and education.
Suggestions from a Back Up workshop involving peers of a young woman in the process of re-inclusion, October 2009)
1. Find the best ways to elicit the views of the young person to be included, or re-included.
2. Take into full consideration the views of the young people in relation to all aspects of planning for their inclusion, or re-inclusion.
3. Support the young person in thinking about how they want to plan for their inclusion if they are unsure about the process – i.e. explore how peers/staff may learn about spinal cord injury; if they would like to be present at meetings with professionals coordinating their care and if not, explore the option of an advocate who can voice their ideas and concerns.
4. Recognition that focussed thought, learning and planning do need to take place to make successful inclusion possible, even though the aim of inclusion is to ensure an equal playing field, and ‘business as usual’ situation for everyone.
5. Best ways to involve peer students in the inclusion process need considerable thought, recognising that opinion will always straddle a wide range of views and perspectives. Creating a space for lively dialogue is much more important than striving for full agreement.
Balancing the needs of students to be included or re-included with the needs of their peers, is vital, recognising that within the inclusive philosophy, everyone’s needs are equally important.

2009 seems to have been a tough year for many. I know it had its share of challenges for me. I move toward 2010 with some real-world optimism as I have signed with a new agent and have some projects in the works that I am actually quite excited about.
No one knows how it will all pan out. But like many, I have my desires and my goals. One of the biggest for me is getting my next film off the ground. After losing THE PLAGUE to a set of producers and an industry-mindset that are the creative equivalent of artistic genocide, I have found myself with an opportunity to re-examine my goals and the way in which I try and manifest them. I have also tried to look even more deeply at my desires, actions, reactions, instincts, strengths, and weaknesses.
One of the realizations that I’ve come to understand on my journey is my need to be seen for who I am. Maybe not a unique desire, but one that has guided my actions and emotional reactions for many years. A lifetime, in fact. As a Scorpio, I seem to fall into a category of folks who somehow manage to never actually feel like others see us for who we really are. While that belief may be true in some instances, it is indeed a definition of myself that I maintain and create in my worst moments. Having THE PLAGUE taken from me in post production put me face-to-face with one of my worst nightmares; that the part of myself I was sharing with the world –the part I felt showed me for who I was– was taken away from me, dramatically altered, and placed out there with my name on it for all to see.
What an odd experience. I suppose not every filmmaker feels that his or her film is a reflection/representation of who they are and therefore losing that film is not quite as traumatic an experience. But for me, even though this was a low-budget genre film, it was the culmination of a lifetime spent trying to figure out who I am and how to share that.
Why is this so important? I don’t know that it is in the grand scheme of things. My closest friends and family members know who I am and can see me quite clearly, I believe. As best as anyone can. But I still have this desire to express myself in an even larger sense. I’m not talking fame here. That holds very little interest for me. But expressing some part of myself that comes from deep inside, some human element, something unmasked and vulnerable, something pure. So how does that translate into a low-budget horror film, you ask? Damn good question.
I suppose it has to do with the fact that I rely quite heavily on my subconscious in both my writing and my filmmaking (not altogether unique as this often can’t be helped regardless of intent). It is not just “technique’ that interests me. It’s like telling someone the details of a very personal dream, but bumping it up a notch and allowing others to actually participate in and even “feel” what my subconscious has exposed. So any film that comes from that place in me is going to be quite revealing, even if the viewer does not see it as such. And honestly, that part is not for the viewer’s benefit, but my own. But hopefully that element brings something unique to the film and the experience of watching it that is true to who I am and an honest reflection of the human being inside. An honest reflection of Hal.
A bit much to place on the shoulders of a movie? Not in my eyes. Anyone who allows themselves to create, in any medium, has the opportunity to reveal themselves through their work. Quite often, for some, it is impossible to do the work and NOT reveal themselves. But Hollywood is a town and an industry not particularly concerned with the human element or in being an avenue for self-expression. It is not anywhere near the top of their list of requirements or demands. But these past few years have taught me that it is at the very top of my own personal list.
So I enter 2010 with the knowledge that this is within my reach. My next project, CLEAN, is a part of me unlike anything else I have written. It is my goal to turn that script into a film that reflects me equally. And to make it my number one priority to put that film out there unadulterated. Pure. Regardless of how it is received or interpreted. It is the only reason I have for doing it. In many ways, it is my therapy. But it is also my gift. To both myself and to anyone else who takes interest in or is effected by it.
And while I fully expect this to be another tough year, I at least believe I have a legible roadmap and a pretty damn good sense of direction.
So to speak. | <urn:uuid:c8f88f5a-867d-4edd-8ae8-a77b272ca9c5> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,527 |
Good news for long-distance couples where one partner is living in Germany, France, or Finland. All three European Union (EU) member countries have now lifted the EU travel ban on people coming from countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) as of August 14, 2020. Couples, both married and unmarried, separated by the pandemic have now been in forced long-distance relationships (forced LDRs) for as long as five months. With this decision, the EU is now urging other member nations who still have travel bans in place to respect the wishes of couples seeking to get back together after the long period of separation.
The tweet by the official EU account reads as follows:
“Under the current legal situation, member states can allow unmarried partners with duly attested relationships to enter the EU, if they choose to do so.”
With Switzerland joining the bandwagon just last week, a total of 10 EU countries are now accepting arrivals from countries that were formerly not in the "allowed" list, including the United States. The countries that have lifted the travel restrictions for partners in a long-distance relationship with EU citizens or residents are France, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands
, Austria, Iceland, the Czech Republic, Denmark, and Norway.
There are still 20 countries where the entry ban is still in place, which potentially affects hundreds of thousands of couples forced into separation by the sudden onset of the pandemic and the resulting panic that caused governments to shut their borders. Twitter groups like @LoveIsNotTourism and @LoveIsEssential have been putting pressure on government officials to allow couples to be reunited after nearly a year of forced separation
Now that three key member nations have lifted their restrictions on non-EU partners entering their borders for the sake of love, it is likely that other countries will follow suit. However, there is no official confirmation that this will happen in the near future.
If you have been affected in this way by the pandemic, do consult with the relevant embassy to see what documents you will need to submit and what procedures are to be followed for you to be reunited with your partner. Governments typically require a negative COVID-19 test taken within a few days of the date of intended travel, and you may need to fill out certain forms to state your case.
The process is usually quick, but get started right away so you can get there soon. Be sure to check with a travel agent about available tickets as well, as the current situation is very volatile when it comes to flights and other means of crossing the border.
Good luck to you, and we hope you are reunited with your loved one soon! | <urn:uuid:9355b35a-b12c-436d-9cde-4f3fad1175d5> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,718 |
A week into the Extreme Enhanced Community Quarantine, I have managed to lessen my anxiety. Or maybe, I’m just in denial. I don’t know yet, the next few days will reveal what’s up. I’ve been reading Jessica Zafra’s Journal of a Lockdown to keep my sanity. After all this, I hope she makes a book out of those posts, I’m buying it.
Wake up, read the news, talk to my friends, wash my hands, cook (I don’t want to wash the dishes), take a bath, nap, check if Jessica Zafra posted a new entry, wash my hands again, cook again, pray, and sleep. That’s my routine.
This quarantine made me a Jessica Zafra stan (a fan) and I thought I might share my favorite episodes of her talk show, The Sanity Maintenance Program. (Subscribe in Studio B and watch for free.) From the show’s title, it’s pretty self-explanatory. Every episode, they talk about social issues, insights on how to solve them, and more importantly how do you stay sane amid chaos.
1. Marika Melgar Episode
There’s more to therapy than the cliche, “How does that make you feel?” Marika Melgar, a clinical psychologist, shares with Jessica Zafra how a typical therapy session goes.
Melgar pointed out that we should advocate for listening as well. While it’s important to express your feelings, not a lot of people are willing to listen. This is relevant now more than ever. In these stressful times, reach out to your friends who are feeling down and really listen to them. If you’re feeling anxious, talk to people who induce a sense of calm rather than panic. Your friends and distant loved ones need to hear your voice. Call them, unless they hate phone calls, maybe just text them.
2. Naomi Fontanos Episode
Naomi Fontanos, a trans activist and executive director of GANDA (Gender and Development Advocates) Philippines, answers SOGIE (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Expression) questions. She shares with Jessica Zafra the basics of SOGIE, the daily struggles of the trans community, and how community care is the best way to stay sane in the face of discrimination.
Self-care must be turned into community care. We must reflect on how we impact our community. Those who use their positions to get special treatment to get their COVID-19 test results earlier and to acquire special powers, remember John F. Kennedy’s wise words: “To whom much is given much is required.” Selfishness and greed will not cure us. We are all interconnected. The virus doesn’t discriminate. No one’s invincible. Rich or poor, it will infect everyone if we don’t collaborate to address it.
3. Gang Badoy Capati Episode
Where do I even begin? This has got to be the meatiest conversation among all the episodes. Gang Badoy Capati, an alternative educator and advocate for social change, said that breaking down once in a while is key to sanity maintenance. We’re so quick to shut down anxiety but it’s not always a bad thing. It’s okay not to be okay. Fear and anxiety remind us that we’re fully human. Sometimes, it’s smart to be scared. It helps us to know there’s a problem. It’s like an itch that motivates us to act to solve that problem. Just don’t let it consume you, make routines that calm and ground you.
Another salient point: They talk about the pressing need for a government that’s “completely boring but super functional.”
We can’t go back to the way we were. This is the time to take it all in, observe. When we vote, we will remember those compassionate leaders. When we search for jobs, we will look for a company that knows that people will always trump profit in times of crisis. Everywhere we go, we will look for kindness.
Stay sane, everyone! | <urn:uuid:e43677ab-f7ec-4f6d-aa18-7041114ab952> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,613 |

What is a fair settlement for pain and suffering?
One of the primary factors that affect the value of the settlement offer in pain and suffering in cases involving injuries is the severity of the victims’ injuries. Most of the time, the defendants in these cases will have to compensate the injured parties for an agreed-upon settlement amount or an amount determined by the courts after trials where the victims win.
Why are settlements awarded by courts?
Much of the time, accident victims initiate legal action for their personal injuries because they not only suffered pain and physical pain but also suffered property damage, lost work time, and other important things in their lives they will never get back.
What are “damages” in a lawsuit?
The term “damages” when referring to a lawsuit means compensating the victim or victims for suffering in a variety of forms. Types of suffering involved in lawsuits include physical and mental suffering, but also monetary suffering as well. When courts award victims damages, this entails making up for an array of negative outcomes inflicted by the guilty party.
When courts must figure out what to award victims for and how much compensation should be granted, a dollar amount is attributed to each aspect of the victim’s life that was negatively impacted by the actions of the defendant. Sometimes the court may even punish the guilty party further than financial penalties and sentence them with jail time.
What Does Compensatory Damages Mean?
In most cases, damages in personal injury cases are considered compensatory, which means they are supposed to make the injured person complete again through compensating them. The compensation is intended to pay for the harm and suffering caused by an accident or injuries resulting from neglect. This is different from punitive damages, which means punishing someone for wrong-doing with jail time or other types of punishment.
Compensatory damages are often awarded in cases such as:
- Auto accidents
- Property owner neglect
- Medical malpractice cases
Who gets compensated in a wrongful death case?
Also, compensatory damages can be awarded for wrongful death cases. In these situations, the person being compensated through the court is the family or loved ones of the victim, rather than the victim themselves. Expenses can cover the costs of things like funerals, which aren’t normally part of a personal injury lawsuit.
Types of compensation for cases with personal injuries
In the vast majority of legal cases involving personal injuries, the victims of the accidents seek compensation from those who are liable to balance out the losses caused by their negligent or willfully harmful actions. Injured parties can be awarded financially for not only pain and suffering, but also other losses resulting from accidents caused by careless people and companies.

Vermont CountiesThere are fourteen counties in Vermont. Each county has a county seat, known in Vermont as shire town. In 1777, Vermont had two counties. The western side of the state was called Bennington County and the eastern was called Cumberland County. In 1781 Cumberland County was broken up into three counties in Vermont, plus Washington County, which eventually became part of New Hampshire. Today's Washington County was known as Jefferson County until 1814. Essex County, Orleans County, and Caledonia County are commonly referred to as the Northeast Kingdom.

Orange County History, Geography, Demographics, Cities and Towns, and Education
Etymology - Origin of County Name
For William of Orange, later William III of England.
Jacob Bayley, a Revolutionary War general, helped settle the region, notably by founding Newbury in 1763 and by
building the Bayley-Hazen Military Road in 1776–79. The county was formed in 1781 and named for William of Orange
(William III of England). Randolph developed with the coming of the railroad in 1848. Tunbridge is the site of the
century-old annual Tunbridge World’s Fair.
Chelsea, chief town. This county is bounded N. by Washington and Caledonia counties, E. by Connecticut river, S. by Windsor county, and W. by Addison and Washington counties. Area, 650 square miles. Population, 1820, 24,169; 1830, 27,285. Population to a square mile, 42. Incorporated, 1781. The eastern range of the Green mountains extends along the northwestern part of the county. The principal rivers, besides the Connecticut, are the Ompomponoosuc, Wait's, branches of the White, and Stevens' branch of the Onion. The lands in Orange county are generally good for grazing, and supply many cattle and all the varieties of the dairy, of which a large amount is annually sent to market. In 1837 there were 99,346 sheep within its limits. This county contains some excellent tracts of land on the banks of the Connecticut. Iron and lead ores, slate and granite, are abundant.

Early Offense Holds Up, As Bulldogs Oust YSU, 7-6
Lorain, Ohio - An early offensive barrage - highlighted by a four-run first inning - proved to be just enough, as Butler held on for a 7-6 victory over Youngstown State in the opening round of the Horizon League Baseball Championship on Tuesday (May 19) afternoon at The Pipe Yard.
The win sends the seventh-seeded Bulldogs into the double-elimination portion of the tournament, where it will face No. 3 seed Wright State on Wednesday (May 20) beginning at 3:00 p.m.
Butler wasted little time in jumping out to a big lead on YSU, touching home four times with two outs in the first inning.
Luke Duncan got things started with a one-out single to center before moving to third on a single to right center by Grant Fillipitch. YSU starter Phil Klein got one out closer to ending the threat, recording a strikeout for the second of the inning, but Kyle Schultz kept the inning alive by walking on four-straight pitches to load the bases.
Colin Ziegel followed Schultz's suit, working a 3-2 count before driving in the first run of the game with a free pass. Two more would cross the plate after Alex Montagano lined a single through the right side that allowed Fillipitch and Schultz to scamper home and put runners on first and third for Jason Jamerson, who doubled down the left field line to bring Ziegel in with the fourth run.
The Bulldog lead would grow to 5-0 in the third, as Schultz and Jamerson walked to put runners on first and second with two down before Bobby Mosser delivered an RBI single to left.
Youngstown State cut into the lead an inning later, scoring a single run on a sacrifice fly in the fourth before adding another in the fifth on an RBI single to left, but starting pitch Jeff Sinkiewicz managed to limit the damage.
Butler earned the runs back in the top of the sixth. After Rick Betsch drew a one-out walk, Fillipitch belted a 1-1 offering over the fence in center field for his team-leading seventh home run of the season and a 7-2 Bulldog advantage.
The comfortable five-run lead became much less inviting an inning later, however, as the Penguins pulled to within two runs after Eric Marzec launched a three-run homer down the left field line in the bottom of the sixth. A solo shot to right center in the seventh by Anthony Porter closed the gap to 7-6 and put the Butler lead in jeopardy, but Jared Wagoner and Ryan Kruszka combined for scoreless eighth and ninth innings, respectively, to preserve the win.
Butler made the most of its eight hits and took advantage of seven walks by the Penguins, who finished with 13 hits but failed to draw a single free pass. Fillipitch picked up three of the Bulldogs' hits and posted two runs scored and two RBI.
Sinkiewicz picked up the win, striking out six and walking none in five innings of work. Wagoner allowed just one run and struck out three in three innings of relief, while Kruszka worked a scoreless ninth for the save. | <urn:uuid:11ce9407-bc3b-4ef8-91cf-81164c95810a> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,953 |

About Liberty Tree Nursery
by Jesse Saindon
Liberty Tree Nursery is located on our five acre property outside of Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada and run by me, Jesse, along with help and support from my wife Chelsey, our two daughters, a flock of turkeys, and sometimes our wolfhound, Jerry.
I've been growing anything I could get my hands on since I was very young. I remember getting a little tabletop greenhouse kit from the hardware store when I was about 8 and thinking it was just about the coolest thing ever. Not much has changed.
A fascination with seeds came a bit later. This is the part of this page where I admit that the nursery is largely an outlet for a seed collecting addiction. Seeds hold such promise for the future and there are so many of them. A single mature red oak can produce over 10,000 acorns in a mast year. It's incredible! There is a lot of satisfaction to be had from imagining the generations that will spring from the one whose seed you just had a direct hand in sowing. A piece of you lives forever when you plant trees.
A passion for the natural world led me into a formal education in forestry, but I always felt the pull towards the plant propagation space. In the years while I was in school and after, I worked in large forest nurseries in New Brunswick and British Columbia where we grew tens of millions of conifer seedlings for reforestation every year. When my wife and I came back from out West, I knew I wanted to keep growing but this time with a focus on different species, largely those that have value for conservation efforts or provide some type of significant non-timber value to humans, wildlife, or broader ecosystems.
The nursery started off quite small, and now it's gotten to the point where I'm growing well over 10,000 trees, shrubs, and other plants a year in an area with a relatively small footprint on our property. I'd really like to see what the limits are. How many trees can you grow and put out into the world in a lifetime?
A keen interest in plants - cultivated or wild - will keep you engaged for your entire life if you want it to. That's my plan anyway. Thank you for taking the time to visit the site. I hope some of my enthusiasm rubs off on you and encourages you to get out there and grow something! | <urn:uuid:d8d9905c-dbb8-4a27-b495-662451303763> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,281 |
A new webpage has just been upload which looks at the heel pain associated with the condition known as plantar fasciitis.
The heel is a specialised part of the body designed to absorb the impact of your body weight when walking, running or undertaking any other form of physical exertion or weight bearing exercise. An inflamed and irritated plantar fascia can be very painful, therefore when pain does develop, it can be very disabling, making every step a problem which in turn can affect an individual’s overall posture.

What is the character of Dr. Watson in this story? Please explain it all fully.
1 Answer | Add Yours
Dr. Watson's character in The Hound of the Baskervilles is no different from his character in all the other Sherlock Holmes stories. He is a conservative, unimaginative Britisher who is devoted to Sherlock Holmes and acts as his biographer. He enjoys sharing in Holmes's adventures and frequently acts as his assistant. Watson is a foil to Holmes because he is not brilliant or imaginative; he is orthodox in his behavior and opinions, whereas Holmes is a complete individualist. Both men, however, are patriotic Englishmen and politically conservative.
In The Hound of the Baskervilles, Sherlock Holmes stays out of the picture for most of the book. I believe this story was converted into a Sherlock Holmes story and had not originally been intended as such. That would explain why Holmes is absent so much of the time and why Watson is so much on his own.
Watson's outstanding traits are loyalty, courage, and kindness. He is a doctor, which means that he sympathizes with people who have troubles. Holmes, by contrast, is not especially interested in people but in the intellectual problems and challenges their troubles present. Watson's greatest weakness is that he is not intelligent. He would like to be a detective like his friend Holmes, but he has no imagination and cannot make logical deductions. You could describe Watson by contrasting him with Holmes, as this was Doyle's intention.
Arthur Conan Doyle got the idea for writing Sherlock Holmes stories from Edgar Allan Poe's two or three "tales of ratiocination," especially from Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue." These stories are told by a narrator who, like Watson, is a friend of the amateur detective-hero and who accompanies him on his investigations but cannot see what the hero sees. The other important Poe story is "The Purloined Letter."

The continued existence of the Great Barrier Reef is in danger, according to a prominent Australian scientist. As Barbara Barkhausen in Sydney explains, Australia is one of the worst polluters in the world with its continued reliance on coal.
Australia’s environmental balance looks anything yet rosy. After iron ore, coal is the country’s largest export product. It is moreover the number one source used to generate the country’s electricity.
Australia produces 16.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide per capita per year — one of the highest levels in the western world. Thanks to climate alter & rising ocean temperatures, one of its greatest treasures – the Great Barrier Reef – is being hit complex by the Australian love of coal.
Modest climate targets
Australia is doing as little as possible to stop climate change. You don’t have to look any further than the climate tax that was unceremoniously abolished.
And yet Australia depends on a stable climate more than most other countries in the world: if sea levels rise, millions of climate refugees from submerged Pacific island nations would flood to Australia. The country’s coastal cities would find themselves partly submerged, & tropical cyclones would no longer be limited to just the northern part of the country.
A recent study from Munich Re estimated that the costs related to natural disasters in Australia could rise from today’s USD 4.6 billion to USD 16.9 billion by 2050.
Half the coral are already dead
For the Great Barrier Reef – the largest single structure made by living organisms on planet Earth – warming of the water by more than two degrees would simply be a deathblow.
“If Paris does not act, the Great Barrier Reef will die within 50 years,” warned Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, a marine scientist & director of the Global Change Institute at the University of Queensland, in the lead-up to the UN climate talks.
Climate change, storms, agricultural wastewater, crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks (which eat the coral) & port extensions have all put the reef under a massive amount of pressure.
Scientists such as Hoegh-Guldberg are working intensively to protect the reef: “Research is being conducted on how we can fortify the genetic makeup of coral by using genes that better tolerate warmer temperatures, & on particles that would prevent light from penetrating the surface of the water & thus damaging the reef.”
But all of these “techno fixes”, as Hoegh-Guldberg calls them, are no more than “courageous rescue efforts”. As he points out: “We are talking approximately an ecosystem that is as large as Italy.”
Coal must stay in the ground
The only way to save coral reefs such as the Great Barrier Reef, which employs 70,000 people & brings in USD 6 billion each year through reef tourism, is to reach a “stable climate” by mid-century, says Hoegh-Guldberg.
This means doing away with fossil fuels. According to the Australian Climate Council, 90 per cent of Australia’s coal reserves have to remain in the ground if global temperature rise is to be kept below two degrees Celsius.
This is not an effortless task for Australia’s resource-dependent economy, & no efforts are being made to limit coal investments. With the exception of the Green Party, the entire political spectrum stands behind the coal industry.
Just this year the country approved the world’s largest coal mine, the Carmichael mine in the state of Queensland, which will export 60 million tonnes of coal annually to India for the next 60 years.[cma-questions tag="australia,climate-change-2,climate-refugees,coal,coral,cyclones,ges,global-environmental-society,great-barrier-reef,magazine-2,sea-levels,temperature-rise" limit=5] | <urn:uuid:b7d00c03-e4cd-463d-9492-8078f70a54f1> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 3,669 |
Because Spanish pronunciation is so different and distinct from English and English, knowing Spanish could be difficult. It’s all about perseverance and having the drive to learn which will help you get closer to your goals quicker than those who simply follow the conventional lines of thought without applying any creativity or new strategies that are discovered in the course of time. To successfully implement these techniques, you must be open in your mind that is willing to learn every day motivated by what’s being taught to make progress faster.
It’s important to use both the visual and audio method to learn a language. If you’re looking to improve your Spanish abilities, you can rent movies in the language that you’re interested in or use subtitles to watch them on Netflix. Though it could be difficult initially due to inexperience with pronunciation patterns – which can make even the most basic words seem like gibberish- this exercise can improve understanding over time by allowing the sounds to be heard more clearly , so that eventually everything will make sense and again. Using these tools is a great technique to increase one’s capacity to communicate effectively across various cultures.
Music is a wonderful means of relaxing or learning. It’s even more fun to listen and sing along with Spanish lyrics! You’ll find that your pronunciation improves rapidly when you practice this regularly enough as it strengthens vocal muscles that have been neglected through speaking English all day long , every all day long, with no breaks or holidays alike, while increasing articulation with music notes played at various pitches than what we’re used too.
When you are learning a new language, the most common mistake made is to think in English before actually speaking. People who wish to learn a new language need to learn it because of necessity rather than enjoyment. This limits the amount of information that can be exchanged. Words are then translated into another mother tongue and back. This slows communication exponentially. Instead of saying the meaning of your words without help, it is possible to state exactly what you mean. It may seem difficult initially but this will become more easy with practice . Especially if you concentrate on organizing your words mentally rather than translating sentences, which have been shown not only to take a longer period but also to produce less quality output.
One of the most challenging aspects of learning the language of your choice is to maintain consistency. It is essential to be consistent when learning the language.

Can you imagine a fire benefiting a tree?
And how about this – without periodic fire, a tree’s diverse wildlife and plant species become rare or endangered as well as the tree, itself. But it’s true – the North Carolina state tree, the longleaf pine, has genetically adapted to tolerate fire.
Did you know that at one time, pine forests were the most extensive forest ecosystems in the Southern United States? Historically speaking, pinus pilustris, or longleaf pine was the “king” of the southeastern coastal forest, covering millions of acres of land.
But not now.
Unfortunately, due to the naval industry, these pine forests have dwindled. These trees supplied an abundance of pine sap which was collected, distilled, and processed into glue, turpentine, rosins, and other shipbuilding industry products. Another reason for the decline was the conversion of longleaf pine forests to non-forest uses – and cleared for agriculture or development. Longleaf pines were also replaced with other pine species. Longleaf pine is now considered a species in decline across much of the South, including North Carolina. But even though the forests cover significantly fewer acres, the pine forests are still among the most diverse ecosystems in the world.
Today while primarily located among dry soil in the Sandhill region and parts of central and southern Coastal Plain, some isolated remnant areas of longleaf pines can still be found in the eastern Piedmont.
As far as the tree itself – it’s a pretty cool tree because it’s unlike any other pine tree in the South. The tree takes on a large thick clump of pine needles on the soil surface, following seed germination. This is called the “grass stage.” And looks like a bunch of needle-like grass. The grass stage remains for up to 5 years while the tree is growing its root system down in the ground. The green needles clump protects the terminal tree bud that’s located in the center of the tree – one of the reasons why the pine is considered a fire-adapted species. The tree tolerates and withstands fires. After the grass stage, the pine begins to grow quickly in height for another 5 years.
In the past, there were challenges in regenerating longleaf pine. The seedlings required precise handling and planting was necessary to guarantee survival. But important advances have been made in the cultivation of the genetically improved longleaf pine seedlings.
Today you can purchase and plant seedlings that have been field tested and quality checked for the highest quality. We can help restore our state trees. Research and learn more about the advantages of planting these trees and the benefits to our environment.
Neighbors: Part I
By Ellen Bishop
It was one of the worst winters in our state that year of ’77-’78, some of the coldest and wettest in a long time. We had just purchased our first home together as a new couple, a stressful but very exciting time. It was a three bedroom one and a half bath brick rancher down a gravel road with very few neighbors; there was a nice yard and extra lot where I could have a garden. It was a little farther out in the county that made for a longer commute to work for me, but at the time, it was what we could afford. Many happy memories were made there.
But, that gravel/dirt road quickly turned into a mire making travel in and out of our small neighborhood very difficult that winter; almost impossible. So, the rich man in the big white house just up the street wanted to get the road paved and wanted us to pay $800 for our part of the road frontage paving. We were poor; that was a lot of money at the time we did not have. Of course, we figured out a way. Then, the sparsely developed newly paved street exploded with new houses, new neighbors galore.
Don’t get me wrong, having families living close to you can be a blessing as long as they are friendly, respectful, trustworthy, considerate, etc. They can keep a watchful eye out on your property, offer support and in general be very helpful in a variety of circumstances. This was the case with our new neighbors who quickly became friends as well. We shared babysitting duties, had tupperware/makeup parties, played cards and had block parties.
One of the neighbors directly across from our house had a pool; the husband loved to cook, probably because his occupation was a meat cutter. They would provide the meat and the rest of us would bring something to share. Extra chairs were borrowed from a local church. Their house was a great gathering place for these barbecues. One such gathering will go down in history. Many of us had already gone home, snug in our beds when bright red flames reaching for the sky were seen from across the street through our bedroom window. There would be no more chairs from the church up the road.
Not only was that first winter somewhat of a nightmare but writing this brought to mind another terrible memory along with the good ones. One being when I was warming up our ’55 Chevy before going out to work (they weren’t so expensive back then) and did not put the parking brake on. Well, those split rail fence posts in our beautiful front yard nor the side of the car ever quite looked the same after that morning. To be continued.

Since I have been working on various family trees, I have become interested in the various types of tombstones, gravestones, and headstones, as they are usually called. They vary a lot, and so does the amount of information one can glean from them.
Tombstones were used to mark burial places as far back as 300 BC to the Celtic and Roman cultures. However, it was not until the 1600’s that they became popular in churches and cemeteries. Originally, they were reserved for middle- and upper-class people while poor folks were buried on their own property or wherever they lived.
It was only after the Protestant theology that spread after the Reformation that headstones became staples for almost everybody. Most churches have for the last few hundred years have had graveyards or cemeteries where church members are buried. This helps a great deal with genealogy research because most at least have the person’s name. date of birth and date of death.
Throughout history different cultures have used several materials for headstones. During the Civil War period, wooden headstones were used to mark the graves of those who died in battle. Eventually, marble became popular, and my Smith grandparents’ tombstone at Center is a beautiful white marble one. However, marble became too expensive, and it was also very soft, so most stones today are made of granite, a far cry from the early fieldstone markers that someone carved by hand.
In my work I have visited many cemeteries where my ancestors are buried, at least in the area, and it is impossible to stress the importance of how significant these are to genealogists. I’m sharing two extremes here, the old Dwiggins family cemetery on Boone Farm Road where they lived and the large monument of my 3rd great-grandfather at Sandy Creek Lutheran Cemetery in Davidson County.
Footnote: I am so grateful for the efforts of all of those people who volunteered in the History Room at the Davie Library through the years. We have a great collection thanks to their efforts: Miss Flossie Martin, Jim Wall, Doris Frye, Nancy Murphy and all the others. They had a vision of how sacred history is and turned that vision into a fabulous collection. | <urn:uuid:64bf5d77-1d57-4f52-a271-e70bd1d6b614> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 7,555 |
Coconuts are most often found in tropical locales and the packaging of these coconut snacks designed by 'Pivot Marketing Inc.' reflects that notion.
Called 'Toasted Coconut Clusters,' these snacks are organic and healthy since they are packed with pumpkin, sunflower and chia seeds. The packaging of these coconut snacks is a vibrant blue while images of coconut clusters displayed front and center -- ensuring that consumers are aware of exactly what they are buying. With images of coconuts and faded palm trees in the distance, these snack packages utilize exotic imagery perfectly.
These coconut snacks were created with healthy ingredients and while the packaging reflects that in writing, it also does so with its vibrant imagery. | <urn:uuid:a6be0c67-bef7-43cd-aea8-da1a3025420d> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 736 |

As housing prices and rents soar out of control in tightly regulated cities like San Francisco and New York, many people have called for a significant loosening of zoning rules to permit greater densification. Many policies contribute to unaffordable housing, including rent control, historic districts, eminent domain abuse, and building codes, but zoning puts an absolute cap on dwelling units per acre thus is generally part of any solution to the supply problem. What’s more, as recent commentators have started to notice, even many of America’s most dense cities are predominantly zoned for single family homes, calling into question the need to dedicate so much space to a single housing typology.
For example, a web site called Better Institutions posted this map of Seattle, in which all of the yellow districts are zoned exclusively for single family homes:
The poster lets his feelings be known by using scare quotes to denote single family “character” and blaming the zoning for Seattle’s high rents.
And Daniel Hertz posted a similar map of Chicago in which the red is single family homes only and yellow is industrial space unavailable for any residential use:
Some go beyond affordability, saying that we also need to significantly increase densities in central cities in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Harvard professor Ed Glaeser wrote an article advocating this subtitled, “To save the planet, build more skyscrapers—especially in California.” He says, “A better path would be to ease restrictions in the urban cores of San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, and San Diego. More building there would reduce average commute lengths and improve per-capita emissions” and “Similarly, limiting the height or growth of New York City skyscrapers incurs environmental costs. Building more apartments in Gotham will not only make the city more affordable; it will also reduce global warming.” He claims that, “The best thing that we can do for the planet is build more skyscrapers.”
These complaints and the proposed solution of more dense multi-family development may be true in a technical sense, but what would carrying that out mean for people who actually live in our cities?
Some critics may disdain the character of single family districts but few of these pundits ask the question of what eliminating lower-density housing actually means to the survival of the urban middle class. Districts, like the Portage Park example Daniel Hertz gave in Chicago, are some of the last bastions of middle class family life in the city. It’s clear that some densification can be implemented without radically changing the appearance or functioning of the built environment. Allowing 2-flats and coach houses, or even the corner apartment building or townhouse development, wouldn’t ruin Portage Park. There’s no reason such things should not be allowed. But nor would they make a major dent in affordability in places where a tidal wave of global demand is washing over the city such as in San Francisco.
To materially boost the number of units in an era in a manner that moderates prices in a highly desirable place like San Francisco would require massive changes in the built environment of its neighborhoods. This would radically transform the character and nature of the city in question. If San Francisco were really covered in skyscrapers, it would cease to be San Francisco--- a city of low-rise buildings framed by hills that would be obscured by high rises. There may well be the same geography on the map labeled as such, but it would be a completely different place. We would have to destroy the city in order to save it.
One person who gets that is Alex Steffan. He’s angry about prices, saying that the “criminal lack of housing is a global scandal.” He’s also honest enough to forthrightly acknowledge that a sufficient scale of new homes to bend the cost curve would fundamentally change many of our cities:
We can build some housing incrementally, without changing the skyline or cityscape, but not anything like enough. To produce enough homes to matter, fast enough, we're going to have to fundamentally alter parts of our cities. That, of course, demands a local government willing and able to plan and permit such widespread change. It also takes an array of homebuilders doing the actual work, often in more innovative and low-cost ways, like more collaborative housing, manufactured buildings and flexible living spaces. Most of all, it takes broader public insight into how large-scale development can improve our cities.
In other words, it’s a major change in communities that requires selling the public on the idea. He believes that young people will be the agents of change here. This shows perhaps one of the signature affects such changes would have. They would displace families by eliminating their preferred housing typologies in favor of forms more amenable to predominantly younger singles or the childless for whom living in an apartment with no backyard is more likely a relief than an imposition. But it’s hard to imagine cities as places for solving the problem of climate change if they are, like San Francisco, increasingly places devoid of families with children.
Steffan also says affordable housing is a social justice issue. Yet is it really social justice to require everyone to have equal access to San Francisco, population 825,000? I think not. Especially not when America is replete with urban centers whose biggest problems are depopulation and worthless houses that you can’t give away. There are plenty of options of places for people to live; we should look at making our now failing cities more attractive to people who may like the housing and neighborhood, if not for issues such as crime and poor schools. There’s no guarantee in America that you can afford to live in the place you might most want to choose. That’s long been true of suburbanites and city dwellers alike.
Also, the willingness to fundamentally reshape cities is odd in light of the fact that such previous attempts are uniformly viewed in the urbanist community as disasters. The idea of Manhattanizing San Francisco brings to mind nothing so much as Le Corbusier’s Plan Voisin for Paris, in which the historical cityscape is replaced with towers in the park.
Of course no one is actually saying to take it this far, although Glaeser’s vision gets close it. But once we enshrine the rule that a certain threshold of unaffordability means more density and building regardless of neighborhood character, it’s hard to see what the limiting principle would be. Also, high rises or even buildings above 4-5 stories in height usually require expensive construction techniques, and thus are inherently costly.
It’s true, however, that cities are not static entities. Every downtown skyscraper in America is built on a site that was once used for something else. Yet we see this densification overall as a good thing. Had Manhattan been preserved as of its pre-skyscraper era, it’s not clear the city would have benefitted.
Clearly the zoning and building regulations in our cities are often too strict. Yet the disasters of previous generations’ radical change suggests that incrementalism is a better course. By all means allow two-unit houses, corner stores with upper story apartments, etc. into currently all-single family zones. Add areas where high rises are allowed the peripheries of districts currently zoned for such; warehouse districts as well as office buildings that are not well occupied. But don’t bring out the bulldozer wholesale. Additionally, a healthy city should make sure to embrace the entire palette of housing types – including single family homes. There’s more to making cities attractive to middle class families than just cost, and things like the prospect of a backyard for the kids to play in are among them.
And given the relatively few intact and attractive urban cores in America, prices are going to continue to go up. That’s true even with radical new building. As mentioned, San Francisco only has a bit over 800,000 people. Boston and DC have only about 600,000 each. How many people can you plausibly put into these places? Realistically, not all of us who would like to live in San Francisco or lower Manhattan are going to be able to do so. That’s true no matter how many skyscrapers we build.

It is very confusing for the consumer with everyone claiming that 'their rebounder is the best and has the softness bounce'. Well if you just want to bounce up and down gently then very soft expensive rebounders will be fine and serve their purpose. If you want to change your body shape, burn 1000's of calories, improve your muscle tone and get all the health benefits from rebounding such as lymphatic drainage for detox, tone, tighten and flatten your abdomen then you will need to follow specially designed aerobic rebounding programmes that are effective, motivating and fun!

That is why we have sprung our rebounders to the exact tension to enable you can follow our professionally designed rebounding exercise programmes despite your fitness level that is comfortable, progressive and has proven results.
It is extremely robust and designed for continual use and built to a high standard. The Home Urban Rebounder is the only rebounder is made from high grade steal, has a unique spring loaded leg system for easy storage and portability, non slip mat and advanced muscle shape spring system to ensure a resilient bounce. It is specifically designed to deliver all the health and fitness benefits that can be obtained from a rebounding programme. Cheaper 'mini trampolines' do not deliver the same health and fitness benefits including as there is little g-force created bouncing on a tightly sprung mat with small tiny rebounder springs. This is why you see great results quickly using our rebounder. If you want to seriously change your and tone up we are confident that our rebounder and workout programmes will help you achieve you health and fitness potential and help you achieve a lean and toned body. Cross training shoes should be worn when using the rebounder.
It is 10kg in weight so is very stable and doesn't travel or move across the floor when bouncing unlike lightweight 'mini trampolines'. Research on the product shows that the spring system and mat surface will absorb approximately 87% of the shock of impact compared making the workout extremely low impact unlike cheaper tightly sprung units. You will start to tone and tighten your core muscles immediately as well as shape your legs, buttocks and thighs. Following our programmes will give you long lean muscles and reduce cellulite massively because of the g-force created by bouncing on the correctly sprung unit that generates a huge calorific expenditure.
It is very low maintenance and all the parts on the rebounder are replaceable. There is a stabilization bar included in the package that is easily assembled for those needing extra stability. Many Lymphoedema sufferers use our Urban Rebounder as it is very low impact, extremely stable, and really helps with lymphatic drainage due to the advanced spring system.

End of the World or Not – U.S. EPA Issues the Final Rule for Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources NESHAP
Posted: December 27th, 2012Author: All4 Staff
On the heels of Christina Giannascoli’s November 5, 2012 blog, today’s blog provides an update to the status of the reconsidered and stayed Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources NESHAP (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart VVVVVV, or 6V). To recap how we got here: as with what seems like a never-ending host of regulations under reconsideration, or stayed, or rescinded, Subpart 6V’s reconsideration journey began back in February 2010, just over three (3) months following the issuance of the original version of the rule. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) proposed revisions to Subpart 6V in January 2012, and on October 25, 2012, stayed the final rule altogether.
While the regulated community waited with baited breath for the issuance of the final 4 Rules on December 20, 2012, U.S. EPA added a different direction, and finalized the proposed amendments to Subpart 6V on December 21, 2012. The primary contention with Subpart 6V was the requirement for area sources that installed a federally-enforceable control device on an affected unit to obtain a Title V permit. As part of the reconsideration actions, U.S. EPA stayed the Title V permit requirement in March 2011 for further consideration. In its summary of comments and responses, U.S. EPA stated that the requirement to obtain a Title V permit “is not overly burdensome,” and that “requiring additional public involvement and compliance assurance requirement through Title V is important to ensure that these sources are maintaining their emissions at the area source level.” U.S. EPA further commented that they think “the burden is not significant because these facilities are generally larger and more sophisticated than natural area sources and sources that took operational limits to become area sources.” The requirement for affected facilities to submit a Title V permit application to its permitting authority is December 21, 2013.
The final rule also added an affirmative defense to civil penalties for violations of emission standards that are caused by malfunctions. Consistent with recent regulatory proceedings, emissions standards under Subpart 6V apply during periods of startup and shutdown.

Before begin I want to let you know this is not the complete guide of react fundamental rather this is introductory guide of react fundamental concepts. I will discuss 10 fundamental concepts about react that you must know as a react developer.
1. What is React anyways?
React.createElement. Consider this example:
Behind the scenes, each element rendered by the Greeting component is transpiled by babel into to a React.createElement.
This is also true for nested elements. For example:
We can use JS in react, consider an array of objects with property id and name. We can use ``map` function to show it in the DOM like that.
4. React is declarative
React use declarative approach, with react you can build user interfaces without even touching the DOM directly, not only that, you can implement event system without interactive with actual DOM events. We just tell React we want a component to be rendered in a specific way. React will take care of the how to do it and translate our declarative abstract to actual UIs in the browser and if any data change react will efficiently update and render the right component.
5. Reusable Components
6. React Hooks
React hooks were introduced in React 16.8. React hook make it easier to use state and react life cycle feature using function component and without using
class and react component life cycle method. React hooks are special type of function allow you to add state like
useState hook, and
useEffect hook allows you to perform side effect. Before, side effects were implemented using react component life cycle method.
useState hook help to track state update within a component and trigger the virtual DOM diffing.
useState hook can be declared in component as follows:
useState hook returns an array with exactly 2 items. The first item is a value and the second item is a function. The first item “value” can be a string, number, array, or other types. In the above code I used to 0 as initialize value, The second item 'function' will change the value of the state when the
setCount is invoked and update the DOM.
7. Data Flow
In React data flow allows us to send data between parent and child components as props but components that are siblings cannot directly communicate with each other. Another way of data flow is to use Redux or some stage management library. Example of parent child component data flow:
8. Conditional Rendering
It's often required to render some parts or component if certain condition is met and other is not met. There are lot's of different ways we can apply conditional rendering in React. For example, these piece of conditional rendering can change the button label based on user logged in or not.
9. Default Props
Consider this React component.
The above code defines a very simple Header component that renders a
<h1> element containing a heading. What happens if title prop is not passed?
If the title prop is not passed, the reference to props.title will be undefined.
One way to resolve this issue is to use conditional rendering:
Another way to resolve this issue is to set a default props for the component or fallback value.
10. Fast render with Virtual DOM
Refreshing DOM is generally the bottleneck with regards to the web application performance. React is attempting to take care of this issue by utilizing something many refer to as virtual DOM; a DOM kept in memory. Any view changes are first reflected to virtual DOM, at that point a proficient diff calculation looks at the past and present status of the virtual DOM and figures the most ideal way to apply these changes. At last only those updates are applied to the DOM only at the node where there is an actual change along with it’s children. This is the main reason behind React's performance. | <urn:uuid:367c8fb3-50c5-416c-9d75-f0dd0b495543> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 3,757 |
What is Missionary Families of Christ?
Couples for Christ – Foundation for Family and Life has officially changed its name
to Missionary Families of Christ (MFC). The name “Couples for Christ” is no longer
reflective of our call. Now it is clear who we are and what we are called to do. The two
most important aspects of Christian life, especially considering the deepening evil in the
world today, are the renewal of families and the work of evangelization.
What is our Vision?
We are an evangelistic and missionary community committed to become families
empowered by the Holy Spirit to renew the face of the earth.
What is our Mission?
We strive to be God’s holy warriors, as we commit to renew the temporal order through
our work in defending faith, family and life. We are servants to the Church, working to
renew her children through every generation and throughout the world, until the Lord
returns once again.
We serve and support our parish as: choir members, council members, religious education
catechists, lectors, extraordinary Eucharistic ministers, Bible study and evangelization work.
We serve the community by: Feeding the hungry, sponsor a blood drive, health and wellness,
fund raising, medical missions and others.
We do evangelization thru the Live Christ Share Christ Movement (LCSC) and it’s 4 pillars:
• Live Pure,
• Live the Word,
• Live Life
• Live Full
The community of MFC is divided into Sections, which correspond to the different
support environments for each and every member of the family. Thus we have:
All Sections are important, and make up the womb-to-tomb family renewal work of MFC.
How to join?
Entry point is by attending the CLS, Christian Life Seminar. CLS is an integrated course
intended to lead the seminar participants into a renewed understanding of and respond to
God's call to them as Christians.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Surface Transportation Board
[Docket No. AB-1075X]
Manufacturers Railway Company—Discontinuance Exemption—in St. Louis County, Mo.
AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board.
ACTION: Correction to Notice of Exemption.
On March 24, 2011, Manufacturers Railway Company (MRS) filed with the Surface Transportation Board a petition under 49 U.S.C. § 10502 for exemption from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. § 10903 to discontinue service over all tracks and yards located within the area bordered by Cedar Street on the north to Zepp Street on the south; and Mississippi River flood wall on the east to U.S. Interstate 55 on the west, in St. Louis, Mo.
On April 13, 2011, notice of the petition for exemption was served and published in the Federal Register (76 Fed. Reg. 20,819). The notice erroneously stated that the lines do not contain any Federally granted rights-of-way. This notice corrects that statement. According to MRS, the lines do contain Federally granted rights-of-way. All other information in the notice is correct.
Board decisions and notices are available on our website at “WWW.STB.DOT.GOV.”
Decided: April 14, 2011.
By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of Proceedings. | <urn:uuid:a3d5fb67-c415-49a0-9476-33478ae7e915> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,003 |
8 Freedom Heroes: Changing the World by Faith by Brennan R. Hill. St. Anthony Messenger Press (Cincinnati, 2007). 282 pp., $17.95.
In Their Footsteps: Inspirational Reflections on Black History for Every Day of the Year by Daryl Grigsby. ACTA Publications (Skokie, Ill., 2007). 400 pp., $14.95.
Hegel wrote in the 19th century that history was a charnel house, but that out of the bloodshed humanity moved toward greater freedom. Brennan R. Hill would add that the growth of our freedom was accelerated by the actions of the men and women whose lives are outlined in his book, 8 Freedom Heroes: Changing the World by Faith, the second volume of what the author terms “biographical theology” and a follow-up to 8 Spiritual Heroes.
In this latest volume, Hill offers to younger readers eight sketches of men and women whose faith and experience of personal freedom led them to seek freedom for others. It is a group that includes familiar names such as Nelson Mandela, Susan B. Anthony, Cesar Chavez, Corrie ten Boom and Harriet Tubman, but also the less familiar, like Sister Thea Bowman, Redemptorist Father Bernard Haring and Jean Vanier.
Father Haring, as a Catholic chaplain in World War II, nursed both German and Russian soldiers in the ruins of Stalingrad. His experience of the horrors of totalitarianism persuaded him that personal freedom was the basis of moral theology. His thought and untiring work at the Second Vatican Council led to some of the most profound revisions in the way the Catholic Church sees itself: not as a hierarchy, but as the people of God.
Vanier served in the Canadian navy, lived for several years in a Cistercian abbey and later in a cottage near Fatima, Portugal, then found his true calling in middle age: founding the L’Arche houses where mentally and physically disabled people who had been exiled to the perimeters of society could live in loving, sharing communities.
Sister Bowman, the daughter of a black physician who chose to practice medicine in the poorest communities of Mississippi, became a convert to Catholicism. After being educated in Catholic schools in her youth, she went on to earn her doctorate. As a Franciscan Sister of Perpetual Adoration, her mission focused on having African-American culture, especially its music and spirituality, become part of the vast tapestry of the Catholic Church which had emphasized exclusively its European roots.
It is debatable whether Vanier or Sister Bowman really belong in this company of freedom fighters, but their stories need to be told until they are as familiar as the others in this volume.
Sister Bowman, Mandela and Tubman also are profiled in the book In Their Footsteps: Inspirational Reflections on Black History for Every Day of the Year, a group of brief reflections on black men, women, institutions and customs.
People one would expect to find here are present: Frederick Douglass, Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Jackie Robinson, Joe Louis and many others. But it is the stories of more obscure heroes and heroines that provide the real interest of this volume. Daryl Grigsby, the author of In Their Footsteps, has a story of his own that’s as interesting as the people he profiles.
Both 8 Freedom Heroes and In Their Footsteps remind us that greatness has little to do with the circumstances of one’s youth and nothing to do with what one earns, but everything to do with using one’s gifts and living for others as citizens of God’s kingdom.

The UK Oracle User Group (UKOUG) is planning to launch an online guide to help businesses find out what they need to know about Oracle's long-awaited Fusion Applications.
To coincide with the event in October, the user group is publishing an online guide that Debra Lilley, president of the council of UKOUG, says will help users in different roles to learn what they need to know about getting started with the new application suite.
"It's just somewhere for people to start, just a little tool to help," said Lilley. "We are going to have it live at OpenWorld."
She said that the guide will resemble a London Tube map, where each line represents a different role, and the stops on the line are the things they need to know about Fusion apps. For example, managers will get an overview, while developers will have information about the technology and the functionalities available.
Everyone, not just UKOUG members, will be able to access the guide once it is launched. | <urn:uuid:d5d5626c-c509-47a1-a25e-a5e26fbe775c> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 970 |

While Louisiana certainly has its fair share of charming cities, few homes are as welcoming as a Monroe apartment. From artistic endeavors to southern fine dining at its best, Monroe's growth and potential for apartment-ites cannot be overlooked.
Home to the Masur Museum (possibly the largest and most well-respected gallery in all of Louisiana), Monroe's appreciation for the arts is well-founded. Apartment-ites with children would do well to enroll their little ones in one of the area's numerous dance schools, where they can master tap, ballroom and more.
Of course, what's dancing without some live music? Check out the latest in Zydeco and hot jazz at the Blue Monkey Tavern, where regional favorites belt out the tunes until the wee hours of the morning on an almost-nightly basis. Monroe apartment-ites will undoubtedly want to sample the specialty crab cakes at the Blue Monkey, or better yet treat yourself to a fine dining seafood experience at the Mohawk (where many claim gumbo practically originated!).
It's no secret that Monroe apartment-ites always want to look their best, so be sure and swing by Toggery, the self-proclaimed 'wardrobe architects'. Want to spruce up your apartment décor? Hop on over to the Freckled Frog, where furniture, bedding and even children's gifts can all be yours. So whether you're looking for an apartment with close proximity to the arts, great dining or simply shopping, Louisiana residents should look no further than Monroe.more... | <urn:uuid:14464845-2276-48b4-9a40-955063716482> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,485 |

WHEN the Germans made their rapid advance through Belgium in the early summer of 1940, they captured, among other things, Mr. P. G. Wodehouse, who had been living throughout the early part of the war in his villa at Le Touquet, and seems not to have realised until the last moment that he was in any danger. As he was led away into captivity, he is said to have remarked, "Perhaps after this I shall write a serious book." He was placed for the time being under house arrest, and from his subsequent statements it appears that he was treated in a fairly friendly way, German officers in the neighbourhood frequently "dropping in for a bath or a party."
Over a year later, on 25th June 1941, the news came that Wodehouse had been released from internment and was living at the Adlon Hotel in Berlin. On the following day the public was astonished to learn that he had agreed to do some broadcasts of a "non-political" nature over the German radio. The full texts of these broadcasts are not easy to obtain at this date, but Wodehouse seems to have done five of them between 26th June and 2nd July, when the Germans took him off the air again. The first broadcast, on 26th June, was not made on the Nazi radio but took the form of an interview with Harry Flannery, the representative of the Columbia Broadcasting System, which still had its correspondents in Berlin. Wodehouse also published in the Saturday Evening Post an article which he had written while still in the internment camp.
The article and the broadcasts dealt mainly with Wodehouse's experiences in internment, but they did include a very few comments on the war. The following are fair samples:
"I never was interested in politics. I'm quite unable to work up any kind of belligerent feeling. Just as I'm about to feel belligerent about some country I meet a decent sort of chap. We go out together and lose any fighting thoughts or feelings."
"A short time ago they had a look at me on parade and got the right idea; at least they sent us to the local lunatic asylum. And I have been there forty-two weeks. There is a good deal to be said for internment. It keeps you out of the saloon and helps you to keep up with your reading. The chief trouble is that it means you are away from home for a long time. When I join my wife I had better take along a letter of introduction to be on the safe side."
"In the days before the war I had always been modestly proud of being an Englishman, but now that I have been some months resident in this bin or repository of Englishmen I am not so sure. ... The only concession I want from Germany is that she gives me a loaf of bread, tells the gentlemen with muskets at the main gate to look the other way, and leaves the rest to me. In return I am prepared to hand over India, an autographed set of my books, and to reveal the secret process of cooking sliced potatoes on a radiator. This offer holds good till Wednesday week."
The first extract quoted above caused great offence. Wodehouse was also censured for using (in the interview with Flannery) the phrase "whether Britain wins the war or not," and he did not make things better by describing in another broadcast the filthy habits of some Belgian prisoners among whom he was interned. The Germans recorded this broadcast and repeated it a number of times. They seem to have supervised his talks very lightly, and they allowed him not only to be funny about the discomforts of internment but to remark that "the internees at Trost camp all fervently believe that Britain will eventually win." The general upshot of the talks, however, was that he had not been ill treated and bore no malice.
These broadcasts caused an immediate uproar in England. There were questions in Parliament, angry editorial comments in the press, and a stream of letters from fellow-authors, nearly all of them disapproving, though one or two suggested that it would be better to suspend judgment, and several pleaded that Wodehouse probably did not realise what he was doing. On 15th July, the Home Service of the B.B.C. carried an extremely violent Postscript by "Cassandra" of the Daily Mirror, accusing Wodehouse of "selling his country." This postscript made free use of such expressions as "Quisling" and "worshipping the Führer." The main charge was that Wodehouse had agreed to do German propaganda as a way of buying himself out of the internment camp.
"Cassandra's" Postscript caused a certain amount of protest, but on the whole it seems to have intensified popular feeling against Wodehouse. One result of it was that numerous lending libraries withdrew Wodehouse's books from circulation. Here is a typical news item:
"Within twenty-four hours of listening to the broadcast of Cassandra, the Daily Mirror columnist, Portadown (North Ireland) Urban District Council banned P. G. Wodehouse's books from their public library. Mr. Edward McCann said that Cassandra's broadcast had clinched the matter. Wodehouse was funny no longer." (Daily Mirror.)
In addition the B.B.C. banned Wodehouse's lyrics from the air and was still doing so a couple of years later. As late as December 1944 there were demands in Parliament that Wodehouse should be put on trial as a traitor.
There is an old saying that if you throw enough mud some of it will stick, and the mud has stuck to Wodehouse in a rather peculiar way. An impression has been left behind that Wodehouse's talks (not that anyone remembers what he said in them) showed him up not merely as a traitor but as an ideological sympathiser with Fascism. Even at the time several letters to the press claimed that "Fascist tendencies" could be detected in his books, and the charge has been repeated since. I shall try to analyse the mental atmosphere of those books in a moment, but it is important to realise that the events of 1941 do not convict Wodehouse of anything worse than stupidity. The really interesting question is how and why he could be so stupid. When Flannery met Wodehouse (released, but still under guard) at the Adlon Hotel in June 1941, he saw at once that he was dealing with a political innocent, and when preparing him for their broadcast interview he had to warn him against making some exceedingly unfortunate remarks, one of which was by implication slightly anti-Russian. As it was, the phrase "whether England wins or not" did get through. Soon after the interview Wodehouse told him that he was also going to broadcast on the Nazi radio, apparently not realising that this action had any special significance. Flannery comments:
"By this time the Wodehouse plot was evident. It was one of the best Nazi publicity stunts of the war, the first with a human angle. ... Plack (Goebbels's assistant) had gone to the camp near Gleiwitz to see Wodehouse, found that the author was completely without political sense, and had an idea. He suggested to Wodehouse that in return for being released from the prison camp he write a series of broadcasts about his experiences; there would be no censorship and he would put them on the air himself. In making that proposal Plack showed that he knew his man. He knew that Wodehouse made fun of the English in all his stories and that he seldom wrote in any other way, that he was still living in the period about which he wrote and had no conception of Nazism and all it meant. Wodehouse was his own Bertie Wooster."
The striking of an actual bargain between Wodehouse and Plack seems to be merely Flannery's own interpretation. The arrangement may have been of a much less definite kind, and to judge from the broadcasts themselves, Wodehouse's main idea in making them was to keep in touch with his public and -- the comedian's ruling passion -- to get a laugh. Obviously they are not the utterances of a Quisling of the type of Ezra Pound or John Amery, nor, probably, of a person capable of understanding the nature of Quislingism. Flannery seems to have warned Wodehouse that it would be unwise to broadcast, but not very forcibly. He adds that Wodehouse (though in one broadcast he refers to himself as an Englishman) seemed to regard himself as an American citizen. He had contemplated naturalisation, but had never filled in the necessary papers. He even used, to Flannery, the phrase, "We're not at war with Germany."
I have before me a bibliography of P. G. Wodehouse's works. It names round about fifty books, but is certainly incomplete. It is as well to be honest, and I ought to start by admitting that there are many books by Wodehouse perhaps a quarter or a third of the total -- which I have not read. It is not, indeed, easy to read the whole output of a popular writer who is normally published in cheap editions. But I have followed his work fairly closely since 1911, when I was eight years old, and am well acquainted with its peculiar mental atmosphere -- an atmosphere which has not, of course, remained completely unchanged, but shows little alteration since about 1925. In the passage from Flannery's book which I quoted above there are two remarks which would immediately strike any attentive reader of Wodehouse. One is to the effect that Wodehouse "was still living in the period about which he wrote," and the other that the Nazi Propaganda Ministry made use of him because he "made fun of the English." The second statement is based on a misconception to which I will return presently. But Flannery's other comment is quite true and contains in it part of the clue to Wodehouse's behaviour.
A thing that people often forget about P. G. Wodehouse's novels is how long ago the better-known of them were written. We think of him as in some sense typifying the silliness of the nineteen-twenties and nineteen-thirties, but in fact the scenes and characters by which he is best remembered had all made their appearance before 1925. [...] When one looks through the list of Wodehouse's books from 1902 onwards, one can observe three fairly well-marked periods. The first is the school-story period. [...] The next is the American period. Wodehouse seems to have lived in the United States from about 1913 to 1920, and for a while showed signs of becoming Americanised in idiom and outlook. [...] The third period might fitly be called the country-house period. By the early nineteen-twenties Wodehouse must have been making a very large income, and the social status of his characters moved upwards accordingly [...]. The typical setting is now a country mansion, a luxurious bachelor flat or an expensive golf club. The schoolboy athleticism of the earlier books fades out, cricket and football giving way to golf, and the element of farce and burlesque becomes more marked. [...] Mike Jackson has turned into Bertie Wooster. That, however, is not a very startling metamorphosis, and one of the most noticeable things about Wodehouse is his lack of development. [...] How much of a formula the writing of his later books had become one can see from the fact that he continued to write stories of English life although throughout the sixteen years before his internment he was living at Hollywood and Le Touquet.
In Something Fresh Wodehouse had discovered the comic possibilities of the English aristocracy, and a succession of ridiculous but, save in a very few instances, not actually contemptible barons, earls and what-not followed accordingly. This had the rather curious effect of causing Wodehouse to be regarded, outside England, as a penetrating satirist of English society. Hence Flannery's statement that Wodehouse "made fun of the English," which is the impression he would probably make on a German or even an American reader. Some time after the broadcasts from Berlin I was discussing them with a young Indian Nationalist who defended Wodehouse warmly. He took it for granted that Wodehouse had gone over to the enemy, which from his own point of view was the right thing to do. But what interested me was to find that he regarded Wodehouse as an anti-British writer who had done useful work by showing up the British aristocracy in their true colours. This is a mistake that it would be very difficult for an English person to make, and is a good instance of the way in which books, especially humorous books, lose their finer nuances when they reach a foreign audience. For it is clear enough that Wodehouse is not anti-British, and not anti-upper class either. On the contrary, a harmless old-fashioned snobbishness is perceptible all through his work. Just as an intelligent Catholic is able to see that the blasphemies of Baudelaire or James Joyce are not seriously damaging to the Catholic faith, so an English reader can see that in creating such characters as Hildebrand Spencer Poyns de Burgh John Hanneyside Coombe-Crombie, 12th Earl of Dreever, Wodehouse is not really attacking the social hierarchy. Indeed, no one who genuinely despised titles would write of them so much. Wodehouse's attitude towards the English social system is the same as his attitude towards the public-school moral code -- a mild facetiousness covering an unthinking acceptance. The Earl of Emsworth is funny because an earl ought to have more dignity, and Bertie Wooster's helpless dependence on Jeeves is funny partly because the servant ought not to be superior to the master. An American reader can mistake these two, and others like them, for hostile caricatures, because he is inclined to be Anglophobe already and they correspond to his preconceived ideas about a decadent aristocracy. Bertie Wooster, with his spats and his cane, is the traditional stage Englishman. But, as any English reader would see, Wodehouse intends him as a sympathetic figure, and Wodehouse's real sin has been to present the English upper classes as much nicer people than they are. All through his books certain problems are constantly avoided. Almost without exception his moneyed young men are unassuming, good mixers, not avaricious: their tone is set for them by Psmith, who retains his own upper-class exterior but bridges the social gap by addressing everyone as "Comrade."
But there is another important point about Bertie Wooster: his out-of-dateness. Conceived in 1917 or thereabouts, Bertie really belongs to an epoch earlier than that. [...] A humorous writer is not obliged to keep up to date, and having struck one or two good veins, Wodehouse continued to exploit them with a regularity that was no doubt all the easier because he did not set foot in England during the sixteen years that preceded his internment. His picture of English society had been formed before 1914, and it was a naļve, traditional and, at bottom, admiring picture. [...] His books are aimed, not, obviously, at a highbrow audience, but at an audience educated along traditional lines. [...] In his radio interview with Flannery, Wodehouse wondered whether "the kind of people and the kind of England I write about will live after the war," not realising that they were ghosts already. "He was still living in the period about which he wrote," says Flannery, meaning, probably, the nineteen-twenties. But the period was really the Edwardian age, and Bertie Wooster, if he ever existed, was killed round about 1915.
If my analysis of Wodehouse's mentality is accepted, the idea that in 1941 he consciously aided the Nazi propaganda machine becomes untenable and even ridiculous. He may have been induced to broadcast by the promise of an earlier release (he was due for release a few months later, on reaching his sixtieth birthday), but he cannot have realised that what he did would be damaging to British interests. As I have tried to show, his moral outlook has remained that of a public-school boy, and according to the public-school code, treachery in time of war is the most unforgivable of all the sins. But how could he fail to grasp that what he did would be a big propaganda score for the Germans and would bring down a torrent of disapproval on his own head? To answer this one must take two things into consideration. First, Wodehouse's complete lack -- so far as one can judge from his printed works -- of political awareness. It is nonsense to talk of "Fascist tendencies" in his books. There are no post-1918 tendencies at all. Throughout his work there is a certain uneasy awareness of the problem of class distinctions, and scattered through it at various dates there are ignorant though not unfriendly references to Socialism. In The Heart of a Goof (1926) there is a rather silly story about a Russian novelist, which seems to have been inspired by the factional struggle then raging in the U.S.S.R. But the references in it to the Soviet system are entirely frivolous and, considering the date, not markedly hostile. That is about the extent of Wodehouse's political consciousness, so far as it is discoverable from his writings. Nowhere, so far as I know, does he so much as use the word "Fascism" or "Nazism." In left-wing circles, indeed in "enlightened" circles of any kind, to broadcast on the Nazi radio, to have any truck with the Nazis whatever, would have seemed just as shocking an action before the war as during it. But that is a habit of mind that had been developed during nearly a decade of ideological struggle against Fascism. The bulk of the British people, one ought to remember, remained anęsthetic to that struggle until late into 1940. Abyssinia, Spain, China, Austria, Czechoslovakia -- the long series of crimes and aggressions had simply slid past their consciousness or were dimly noted as quarrels occurring among foreigners and "not our business." One can gauge the general ignorance from the fact that the ordinary Englishman thought of "Fascism" as an exclusively Italian thing and was bewildered when the same word was applied to Germany. And there is nothing in Wodehouse's writings to suggest that he was better informed, or more interested in politics, than the general run of his readers.
The other thing one must remember is that Wodehouse happened to be taken prisoner at just the moment when the war reached its desperate phase. We forget these things now, but until that time feelings about the war had been noticeably tepid. There was hardly any fighting, the Chamberlain Government was unpopular, eminent publicists were hinting that we should make a compromise peace as quickly as possible, trade union and Labour Party branches all over the country were passing anti-war resolutions. Afterwards, of course, things changed. The Army was with difficulty extricated from Dunkirk, France collapsed, Britain was alone, the bombs rained on London, Goebbels announced that Britain was to be "reduced to degradation and poverty." By the middle of 1941 the British people knew what they were up against and feelings against the enemy were far fiercer than before. But Wodehouse had spent the intervening year in internment, and his captors seem to have treated him reasonably well. He had missed the turning-point of the war, and in 1941 he was still reacting in terms of 1939. He was not alone in this. On several occasions about this time the Germans brought captured British soldiers to the microphone, and some of them made remarks at least as tactless as Wodehouse's. They attracted no attention, however. And even an outright Quisling like John Amery was afterwards to arouse much less indignation than Wodehouse had done.
But why? Why should a few rather silly but harmless remarks by an elderly novelist have provoked such an outcry? One has to look for the probable answer amid the dirty requirements of propaganda warfare.
There is one point about the Wodehouse broadcasts that is almost certainly significant -- the date. Wodehouse was released two or three days before the invasion of the U.S.S.R., and at a time when the higher ranks of the Nazi party must have known that the invasion was imminent. It was vitally necessary to keep America out of the war as long as possible, and in fact, about this time, the German attitude towards the U.S.A. did become more conciliatory than it had been before. The Germans could hardly hope to defeat Russia, Britain and the U.S.A. in combination, but if they could polish off Russia quickly -- and presumably they expected to do so -- the Americans might never intervene. The release of Wodehouse was only a minor move, but it was not a bad sop to throw to the American isolationists. He was well known in the United States, and he was -- or so the Germans calculated -- popular with the Anglophobe public as a caricaturist who made fun of the silly-ass Englishman with his spats and his monocle. At the microphone he could be trusted to damage British prestige in one way or another, while his release would demonstrate that the Germans were good fellows and knew how to treat their enemies chivalrously. That presumably was the calculation, though the fact that Wodehouse was only broadcasting for about a week suggests that he did not come up to expectations.
But on the British side similar though opposite calculations were at work. For the two years following Dunkirk, British morale depended largely upon the feeling that this was not only a war for democracy but a war which the common people had to win by their own efforts. The upper classes were discredited by their appeasement policy and by the disasters of 1940, and a social levelling process appeared to be taking place. Patriotism and left-wing sentiments were associated in the popular mind, and numerous able journalists were at work to tie the association tighter. Priestley's 1940 broadcasts, and "Cassandra's" articles in the Daily Mirror, were good examples of the demagogic propaganda flourishing at that time. In this atmosphere, Wodehouse made an ideal whipping-boy. For it was generally felt that the rich were treacherous, and Wodehouse -- as "Cassandra" vigorously pointed out in his broadcast -- was a rich man. But he was the kind of rich man who could be attacked with impunity and without risking any damage to the structure of society. To denounce Wodehouse was not like denouncing, say, Beaverbrook. A mere novelist, however large his earnings may happen to be, is not of the possessing class. Even if his income touches £350,000 a year he has only the outward semblance of a millionaire. He is a lucky outsider who has fluked into a fortune -- usually a very temporary fortune -- like the winner of the Calcutta Derby Sweep. Consequently, Wodehouse's indiscretion gave a good propaganda opening. It was a chance to "expose" a wealthy parasite without drawing attention to any of the parasites who really mattered.
In the desperate circumstances of the time, it was excusable to be
angry at what Wodehouse did, but to go on denouncing him three or
four years later -- and more, to let an impression remain that he
acted with conscious treachery -- is not excusable. Few things in
this war have been more morally disgusting than the present hunt
after traitors and Quislings. At best it is largely the punishment
of the guilty by the guilty. In France, all kinds of petty rats --
police officials, penny-a-lining journalists, women who have slept
with German soldiers -- are hunted down while almost without
exception the big rats escape. In England the fiercest tirades
against Quislings are uttered by Conservatives who were practising
appeasement in 1938 and Communists who were advocating it in 1940.
I have striven to show how the wretched Wodehouse -- just because
success and expatriation had allowed him to remain mentally in the
Edwardian age -- became the corpus vile in a propaganda
experiment, and I suggest that it is now time to regard the
incident as closed. If Ezra Pound is caught and shot by the
American authorities, it will have the effect of establishing his
reputation as a poet for hundreds of years; and even in the case
of Wodehouse, if we drive him to retire to the United States and
renounce his British citizenship, we shall end by being horribly
ashamed of ourselves. Meanwhile, if we really want to punish the
people who weakened national morale at critical moments, there are
other culprits who are nearer home and better worth chasing. | <urn:uuid:76024554-5354-485c-87f6-4aa28a642d8a> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 24,112 |
Some Facts About Squint
Squint is not normal. Any abnormal eye movements or abnormal head position, neck movements or any abnormal position of the eyeballs which are persistent after 6 months of age need to be evaluated by an eye specialist.
All cases do not need surgery. Some will be corrected by glasses or eye exercises. If the glasses are of a proper prescription, the child will be able to wear the glasses even if they are very young. Even glasses alone can correct the squint in many children.
Sometimes there is no squint and there is an appearance of squint only because of the asymmetry of the face or position of the eyelids or depressed bridge of the nose. After confirming this from an eye specialist parents do not need to evaluate the child further.
When squint develops at an early age it can cause serious visual problems with permanent diminution of vision. Lazy eye or amblyopia can develop in the deviating eye. Lazy eye also needs urgent treatment for normal vision recovery.
Some serious eye problems like glaucoma, tumors in the eye, a congenital cataract can develop and may not show any signs other than the presence of squint. The child may not complain of reduction of the vision and in these cases, squint may be the only presenting feature. Urgent treatment may be needed in these situations.
Rarely brain tumors or brain infections may present as squint. If the diagnosis is missed in these cases, this can lead to serious consequences. Parents suspecting a squint must visit an eye specialist as early as possible to confirm the diagnosis and know the cause of the squint.
All cases of squint do not need surgery. Many can be corrected with glasses or eye exercises.

Do you dream of becoming a life coach and helping others to live a happier and more abundant life? Do you have a calling to help others live the life that God has designed for them to live? And are you ready to finally get moving in the direction of your purpose?
You only have one chance to live life to the fullest, so you have to get it right. That means you are not sitting on your dreams, that means you are not letting what other people say about you stop you or block you, and that you are not letting fear keep you from moving forward. Your life was given to you so that you can LIVE IT! And that doesn't mean that you just go to work, work 8 hours a day, get off, go home, eat, shower, go to sleep, wake up the next morning and do it all over again! You deserve to do something that makes you feel amazing, something that lights your fire, and something that makes you excited to wake up every morning. And if you have a desire to become a life coach you could live the life that you dream of living, and a life that is not only rewarding for you but a life that is also rewarding for others.
I began to realize years ago that life was passing me by pretty fast, and I had not began to even accomplish the things that I knew God had put in my heart to accomplish. Things were going okay for me, but I wasn't living my best life possible. I was living my life according to the box that I had allowed others to put me in, and that wasn't acceptable. Why do we even live our life according to the rules of others, when nobody has to live with the regret but us? That is so unfair to us. And we truly deserve more.
It is your time to fully step into your greatness. You don't have to settle for anything less than God's best for your life. And I believe that includes you living out your true purpose and destiny. You have so much inside of you that someone else needs. Never underestimate the power of your gifts, pain, struggle, successes, or story. My late mother used to say "Our words will out-live us." And that is so true. Because even after we are gone we can leave a legacy that continues to live way after we do. And some of the most powerful things we can leave behind are love, encouragement, and inspiration. | <urn:uuid:c20a3a06-68f6-487d-8e1d-477b3a2631ba> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,226 |
The water of the heart changes regularly (Video)
Tourists' curiosity does not end with the game of color change in the waters of the Kelimutu volcano in Indonesia. A few months ago, when the color of the water was white, turquoise was blue and red, after a few months it stood black, turquoise blue and coca colored brown in color. It is not known today that its mystery
The color of Tiu Ata Mepu is generally blue in the west end of Kelimutu. And the color of two lakes Tieu Nuova Muri Ku Fi and Tiyu Ata Polo are green and red respectively. But this color does not always have one. Often they change color.
The lake water sometimes turns black in exchange for change. A few months ago, when the watercolor was white, turquoise was blue and red, after a few months, it stood black, Firoza blue and Coca-Cola Brown. This is the 2009 incident.
Again, in 2010, the color of the three lakes of the lake became green as three types of shades.
Experts say that the bacteria, shawls, etc. that are responsible for the watercolor of the water bodies are responsible for this. The color-mysteries of the Millimetre lakes but do not walk towards it. Many people believe that volcanic gas has some role behind this color. But this is not certain about this. | <urn:uuid:746a4bf6-c09b-40e9-964a-4740b6fbaa8a> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,247 |
CNBC’s recent article entitled “Here’s what you need to know about your 2020 Medicare costs” reports that Medicare will have some higher costs this year that you may want to factor into your health-care budget.
The Medicare program has about 61 million beneficiaries, most of whom are 65 or older. These people will see certain costs are adjusted by the federal government each year that can impact their premiums, deductibles and other cost-sharing aspects of the program. These changes don’t really involve big dollars. However, those affected should plan for how any increases will make a difference in their household spending.
For a person on a fixed income, all of the small changes can add up. Basic Medicare consists of Part A (hospital coverage) and Part B (outpatient care). Roughly a third of beneficiaries opt to get those benefits delivered through an Advantage Plan that’s offered by private insurers. These types of plans generally also include Part D (prescription drug coverage), and other extras like dental or vision. They also limit what you pay out of pocket for Parts A and B services.
Other beneficiaries go with the basic Medicare and buy a standalone Part D prescription drug plan. About a third purchase a supplement plan (“Medigap”) that covers some of the costs that come with basic Medicare, like co-insurance or co-pays.
Your coverage choices can play a part in the amount you pay in premiums, deductibles and co-pays or co-insurance. The frequency with which you use the health-care system can also add to your costs. Your income is another factor. Beneficiaries with limited income could be eligible for Medicaid or other programs that cover Medicare expenses. However, higher-income beneficiaries pay more for certain parts of coverage.
For those that fall in-between—a group who aren’t eligible for Medicaid or other types of assistance—every dollar is important.
Most Medicare beneficiaries pay no premium for Part A because they (or their spouse) have enough of a work history (10 years or more) of paying into the system through payroll taxes to qualify premium-free. If you don’t satisfy the minimum requirement, monthly premiums could be as high as $458 a month, based on whether you’ve paid any taxes into the Medicare system at all. That’s an increase from $437 in 2019. There are also cost-sharing aspects that go with Part A despite whether you pay a premium.
As far as Part B, the standard premium in 2020 will be $144.60 monthly, increasing from $135.50 in 2019. Some recipients won’t pay the full standard premium due to a “hold harmless” clause that prevents their Part B premiums from increasing more than their Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). However, some people will pay more than the standard, due to income-adjusted surcharges.
The annual deductible for Part B will go up to $198 from $185 in 2019. Once you hit that deductible, you typically pay 20% of covered services. Note that beneficiaries in Advantage Plans may pay a different amount through co-pays, and Medigap policies either fully or partially cover that coinsurance. Even though Advantage Plan premiums differ among plans, the average for 2020 is $23. That’s a decrease of $27 from last year.
For Part D, the amount you pay for drug coverage depends partly on the plan you choose and your income. The average monthly premium for a standalone drug plan in 2020 will be $30— a few dollars less than the $32.50 in 2019. Higher earners will pay extra.
Those surcharges were set slightly downward.
Those charges are not included in your plan premium but instead come out of your Social Security check or through a bill. Although not everyone pays a deductible for Part D coverage (some plans don’t have one), the maximum it can be is $435 in 2020, up from $415 in 2019.
For those with high prescription costs, the amount that Part D enrollees pay out of pocket before qualifying for “catastrophic coverage” will go up to $6,350 in 2020 from $5,100 in 2019. In that phase of coverage, your share of prescription costs goes down.

Except for the two TV movies bracketing this list, Gene Greytak portrayed Pope John Paul II in all of these TV shows. Perhaps there were other actors who played him in a fictional setting; maybe there are TV shows in which he played a part but was not seen in doing so. If so, I'm hoping someone out there reading this might let me know about these additions to his onscreen "presence"......
POPE JOHN PAUL II

"The Pope's Ring"

Sophia is off to see the Pope's Mass and has exchanged two bad tickets for one good ticket "way up front." Dorothy was looking forward to seeing the Pope, but Sophia explains that she had to trade in Dorothy's ticket to get close enough to the Pontiff to request a special blessing for her friend Agnes in the hospital.
After the Mass, Sophia tells the girls how she snuck into the "crippled and lame" section to "cop a blessing," and just as she bent down to kiss the Pope's ring, security whisked him away, leaving the jewel encrusted ring in Sophia's hand! Dorothy demands that the ring be returned immediately, but Sophia feels that "this is a sign" and is "supposed to make a miracle."
She eventually gives in and agrees to give it back. There's only one problem. Sophia lost the ring!
Dorothy helps Sophia retrace her steps, and figures out the ring isn't lost. Sophia had the ring in her possession the whole time and was using it as leverage to get the Pope to pick up the ring in person. But when one of the Pontiff's priestly entourage picks up the ring in proxy, Sophia's plans to get him to personally bless Agnes is extinguished.
At the hospital, Rose finds out that Miles is having cosmetic surgery for his eyes. He's tired of looking old while working in a youthful environment. Rose is relieved that it's nothing serious, and knowing this means a lot to Miles, supports him.

KAROL: THE STORY OF A MAN WHO BECAME POPE
Late last year, Italian producers made a television film about the life of Pope John Paul II in southern Poland, where the pontiff grew up and began his church career.
The film crew shot scenes of a young and athletic Karol Wojtyla kayaking in Lake Dobczyce near Krakow, where he served as bishop from the 1950s, said Marcin Marcinkiewicz, a spokesman for the producers.
"Karol, the story of a man who became pope" is to be broadcast in two 90-minute segments on Italian television sometime this spring.
The film is adapted from a historical account by Italian writer Gian Franco Svidercoschi, with the first part set during World War II and the second in postwar Poland. While most of the movie was filmed in Poland, some scenes were shot at the Vatican.
It will be about another fifteen to twenty days from now before the Conclave of Cardinals is sequestered to choose a new spiritual leader for the 1.1 billion Catholics around the world. But I'm sure the politicking for the position began years ago.

My dogs and I loveee this place! Parking is easy, people are friendly, and the dogs are nice. Very clean. They have a wash off area and water fountains for humans and dogs. Very nice!
Fun for All
Laura in Boynton Beach
I've been going to this dog park for years and think it's great. I'd like to comment on Stephanie's review. There are occasional aggressive dogs, and grouchy people, but by and large, it's a very friendly place. If you're one of those people that can't stand dogs "working it out", and that may include a few growls and snaps, then maybe a dog park isn't a good idea for you... dogs do need to sort out who's the boss. I'm not saying that's what happened but given that you say your dog and your friend's were both attacked, I have to wonder. If there IS an aggressive dog there, you are asked to call the park ranger at 561-966-6600. Also, there are water spiggots in each park, and at least one stainless bowl that visitors keep filled. If it's dirty, dump it, rinse it, and refill it. One more thing to keep in mind, the parking lot is at times a favorite for smash-and-grab bandits. Don't leave valuables in your car.
Carolyn in Harrisburg Pa
My boyfriend and I just moved to the Boca Raton area and were very happy to find this friendly park. There were 2 separate areas for small and large dogs. Our pup had a blast meeting the other dogs and chasing balls. The park was clean and we were thankful for the drinking facilities for both pets and owners. Everyone was friendly and we felt very safe. I'm not sure what we do without the park for him to run and socialize!
Great for Dogs AND People
Judy in Boynton Beach/ New York
I wish I could take this park up north for my summer months up there! It's grassy, shady, very roomy, with benches, a gazebo, a walking path, poop bags, filled with friendly dogs and (mostly) friendly people. AND it's cleaned and maintained beautifully.
Mark in Delray Beach
This a Great park three large fenced areas,two open, third is opened on a revolving basis. The bathing area is a nice option on those days that your dog just cannot stay clean. I go there often and find the people almost as friendly as the dogs (just kidding) Has lots of parking all the way around. The map on this site shows its on Atlantic near federal hyw. Its really on Lake Ida rd just east of Congress Ave
Great Park, Great Dogs (and owners)
Stephanie in Boynton Beach
I've been frequenting the Lake Ida Dog Park for several weeks now, as I recently moved to the area. The park is relatively tidy and the dogs are friendly, with hours from sunrise to sunset. The park supplies waste bags and numerous garbage cans, areas for dogs to drink, and an area to rinse off dogs in case they get dirty. Public park restrooms available for humans. Closed Thursdays 12-3pm for maintenance, but there tons of other shady areas to sit and sidewalks to share with your dog. The vast majority of owners are very conscientious about watching their dogs, cleaning up after their dogs and noticing when any dogs get a little too aggressive. No major issues so far with the Dog Park. Great advantage to living near Lake Ida.
Great Park but...
Jennifer in Tampa
I think this park is very well maintained. My dog loves it here! However, I think some dog owners need to be more courteous of others. Many occasions I've seen owners not pick up after their dogs as well as not apologize or reprimand their dog when they attack other dogs. My small puppy was attacked by another small dog and the owner just sat there and watched, I had to pick my dog up so that her dog would leave him alone. As I said, park itself is great but owners could use some training!

Not too happy
Michelle in Boynton Beach
I read the reviews and thought this would be a great place to bring my dog. My friend and I went yesterday and it seemed to be very clean and the grass was well taken care of. But I had a few concerns. The water bowl was full of drool and dirt and I couldn't find a way to drain it so I could fill it will fresh water. Next I had problems with some of the owners. My dog was attacked twice and my friend's dog was attacked once. The owners didn't seem to care. One of the owner's dog attacked my dog as soon as they got to the park. It wasn't nipping it was a full on attack. Luckily my dog was able to escape unharmed. I told them man he probably shouldn't bring an aggressive dog to the park and he told me that 99.999% of the time his dog only attacks boxers. He was shocked when I informed him my dog wasn't a boxer. Then he yelled at me that his dog was on a leash and took about 20 steps away from me before he took his dog off the leash. Moments later my friend's dog was attacked by another dog and then the same dog turned on my dog. Luckily both our dogs escaped those attacks too. Frustrated and nervous we decided to just leave. I wasn't impressed with the bathing area. One of the hoses didn't work at all and the other had little water pressure. It's going to take some work to convince my friend to give this park another chance. It's a shame because the only other nice dog parks are in Boca or Pompano and it's such a far drive. | <urn:uuid:06621cc1-5816-4a29-8625-3b2855f546bd> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 5,911 |

Oh, boy, oh boy, oh boy! I finally have confirmation on WOUNDED ANGEL’s release date (May 27th), PLUS the BCC. Ready?*ahem*
Book three in The Earth Angels
A descendant of the Angel of Vengeance, Nate da Luca was gifted with an uncanny ability to find things. It made his job as a detective a breeze—until he learned the hard way that some things should remain hidden. After that, his powers vanished, along with his belief in himself. Which is going to make tracking down Gabriella Littlefield for his latest client a challenge.
Personal trainer Ella Little paid a hefty price for her life—now all she wants is to live it in peace. Then a sexy hulk of a man turns up in her gym, reigniting desires she thought she'd left behind along with her real name and hair color.
Desires she can't deny even after she discovers Nate's no stranger to her dark past.
Before he can convince her the attraction is mutual, Nate's going to have to earn Ella's trust. But a demon is playing for keeps in the world of humans, using Ella as bait, and the last thing they have is time…
Go back to the beginning with Nobody's Angel, available now!
63,000 words(For a closer look at WOUNDED ANGEL, please feel free to look through its storyboard on Pinterest.)
Wheeeee! I’m so excited! And at this point, I have to give a shout-out to Carina Press. They've been wonderful in promoting The Earth Angels series. Even now NOBODY’S ANGEL is part of their banner on Facebook. I’m so lucky to be a part of a publishing house that does all it can for its authors. <3
Also, I’m buried knee-deep in trying to get a project done for Carina Press’s holiday antho call. I have no idea if I’ll make the March 15th deadline, or if what I’m writing is any good (though I keep making myself cry), or even what category to submit it under. But I’m almost done with it, and I’m loving the characters. The working title for this novella is A CRAVING FOR COOKIES, and it's a Bitterthorn, Texas book (Bitterthorn, Texas is an open-ended small town contemporary romance series debuting this summer, published by Carina Press). I swear I’ve gained weight just writing this darned holiday novella. Who knew that simply writing about sugary, crumbly goodness fresh from the oven could make you want to eat every cookie in existence?
Last thing… I sent off the final book in The Earth Angels series, DANGEROUS ANGEL, and it’s one of the longest books I’ve ever written. I have no idea if that’s a good or bad thing, or even if it’ll get accepted, so we’ll just have to wait and see. Too bad I hate waiting. *sigh*

Modern Slavery Act 2015 – Statement
The National Timber Group is committed to understanding modern slavery risks and to ensuring that there is no modern slavery in our own business or in our supply chains.
We recognise that we have a responsibility to take a robust approach to slavery and human trafficking and we take a zero tolerance approach to non-compliance of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 in any part of our own business or within our supply chains.
Our Group Company is National Timber Group Topco Limited (Registered Number 10887298) and we are the largest independent added-value timber distribution and processing group in the UK. The Group was created through the acquisitions of market-leading brands and currently consists of National Timber Group Scotland Limited (Registered Number SC 080045), North Yorkshire Timber Company Limited (Registered Number 01419058) and Arnold Laver & Co. Ltd. (Registered Number 10608445).
Arnold Laver & Co. Ltd. And National Timber Group Scotland Limited are our largest businesses and currently the only ones within the Group that meet the criteria to issue a modern slavery and human trafficking statement, however, our principals will apply across all of our companies.
The Group serves a diverse customer base including joiners, housebuilders, and contractors, and is a favoured supplier of large-scale infrastructure projects. With extensive warehousing, processing and distribution capabilities the Group can provide customers across the UK with a full range of the highest quality timber, panel, decorative surfaces and engineered wood products supported by comprehensive timber knowledge and expertise.
In 2019, the Group has a combined turnover in the region of £250million, with around 1300 employees and 55 processing and distribution sites from the North of Scotland to London and the South West.
The businesses within the National Timber Group import process, manufacture and distribute timber and timber based products.
Supply Chain Management
We have in excess of 1,400 suppliers and subcontractors supporting our UK business predominantly (70%) based in the UK.
We work with a wide range of different suppliers and partners. Some of our suppliers subcontract work or rely on recruitment agencies to supply temporary or permanent staff. By the nature of their businesses, some of our suppliers are potentially at higher risk than others, for example, where we procure materials from outside the EU.
During last year, we began to develop our register of approved suppliers, and to audit those suppliers on their compliance with the laws regarding modern slavery and human trafficking. Over the coming year, we will continue to develop our policies to improve our own internal standards and to monitor our suppliers.
The Group Companies operate a number of policies that mitigate the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking. There are processes in place where any issues or concerns regarding modern slavery or human trafficking can be raised confidentially and protection is given to any “whistleblowers”.
Relevant policy documents are as follows, some of which are under review:
Supplier Code of Conduct
Prevention of Illegal Working
Corporate Social Responsibility
Bribery & Corruption
We recognise that the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking is less in our own business than in our supply chain.
We ensure that all Group companies carry out face to face checks to check and copy original documentation to confirm their right to work in the UK.
We also ensure that when we have new recruits that their bank account details match the employees name and that they provide a legitimate and recognised national insurance number. If there are any discrepancies identified the matter is elevated to a senior member of the HR team for evaluation.
As a large Group we understand the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking and believe that we can improve the processes within our businesses to mitigate the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains.
We are committed to improving our processes and the following steps have been taken:
We have formed a Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Working Group. The Working Group consists of members from Procurement, Supply Chain management, Health and Safety/Environment, HR and Integrated Management Systems. The Working Group has reviewed the processes within each company which has contributed to the issuing of this Group modern slavery statement. The Working Group will continue to identify processes that can be improved and formulate action plans to eliminate any high risk areas.
We are introducing a revised Right to Work checking process across all of our businesses to ensure that there is consistency and to eliminate any risks of illegal working.
All of our recruiting managers will be required to undertake a Right to Work Elearning course.
We are reviewing our Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) to adopt a more robust set of questions in relation to modern slavery and human trafficking so we can understand the approach taken by our suppliers. The responses given in the PQQ document are reviewed by the group procurement team.
We intend to appoint a designated person who will be responsible for reviewing the responses given in the PQQ.
It is our intention to conduct a formal survey of our suppliers by March 2020 and then analyse to identify potential high risk areas.
Staff awareness is an area that we will focus on and we are creating a new Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy which will be circulated to all of our staff and will be brought to the attention of new employees. The Policy will set out the basic principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, how it can be prevented and what employees can do to flag up potential slavery or human trafficking issues to the relevant parties within the Company. We will reinforce staff awareness by rolling out a mandatory Elearning session to all employees.
This statement has been approved by the National Timber Group Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Team and it will be reviewed and updated annually.
As a large Group we recognise that whilst we have made some initial improvements in our processes there is much more to do and we will continue to give focus to this issue to raise awareness and understanding of modern slavery across our businesses.
The National Timber Group Executive Board members will work together to further the commitment to eliminate modern slavery and human trafficking which will help to ensure that human rights are being respected across our workforce and supply chains.
We recognise that we can improve further to mitigate the risks in relation to modern slavery and human trafficking and in relation to transparency in our supply chain and we are committed to continue to review our practices

“There is not now and never has been,” a man screamed at the Irish Times last weekend, “any such thing as ‘luminous‘ prose!”
“Nor ever,” Sebastian Delaney proclaimed to an empty kitchen, “will there be!”
“‘Liminal’,” he muttered, as he resumed reading, “as if every novel isn’t in some way ‘liminal’!”
Struggling to contain his irritation, it occurred to Delaney, who every Saturday turns first to the paper’s book reviews, that in its own way, literary criticism was every bit as cliched as soccer reporting.
“At least,” he warned the kitchen, “we still know what, ‘opened their account’ and ‘booked their place in the final’ actually mean.
But what do ‘luminous’ and ‘liminal’ mean when they’re trotted out – week in, week out – by people you can’t help suspecting are relying on a press release in the first place.
The noise finally woke David Bowie, prompting the cat to hiss at him.
“Luminous’, Bowie,” he inquired, helplessly. What does that even mean…”

Jon Gosselin has been approached to star in an upcoming reality series called Divorced Dad's Club, according to TMZ.
The father-of-eight, who split from wife Kate in June, is reportedly in talks with Endemol to appear in the series that will "chronicle the lives of famous divorced fathers".
However, it is alleged that he is concerned about a possible conflict with TLC, the network that produces his current reality series Jon & Kate Plus 8.
It has previously been suggested that the relationship between Gosselin and the network has "become very strained", while ratings for the reality series have continued to decline since it returned to the air following a six-week hiatus.
Gosselin has yet to comment on the rumours. | <urn:uuid:65a554b2-7364-46c5-a461-0764dd2983d2> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 724 |
We are starting November with these adorable clothespin feathered turkey kids craft that my girls loved creating! November is a special month in our home as we celebrate our youngest daughters birthday! This year she is turning 3 and she is my Thanksgiving baby! So, you can imagine that the month of November can be a little hectic for us with all the holiday events going on. One thing that I never take away from is celebrating her! Now that she is older she loves doing crafts, so I have an entire month full of lots of arts & crafts planned for my girls! This post may contain affiliate links.
Clothespin Feathered Turkey Kids Craft
I’ve made these in the classroom before using coffee filters but thought it would be fun to use feathers instead. Either way, these turkey crafts are perfect for fall and Thanksgiving!
- Craft feathers
- Tiny googly eyes
- Red and Orange felt
- Craft glue
- Brown paint and paintbrush
- Have the kids paint their clothespin brown. I had my girls paint the front and sides, but to leave the back as is so that they wouldn’t get stuck on the drying paper. Allow to dry for a few hours or until the paint is dry.
- Once your clothespins are dried enough to handle, you can add the turkey’s face. We used Elmer’s glue to add the small googly eyes, orange felt beak, and red felt wattle.
This might be a bit of a challenge for younger ones, just because the pieces are so small that they might need a bit of help with their fine motor skills. Kaidence needed help the first time, but for her second turkey, she got the hang of it.
- Now it’s time to add some feathers! The easiest way we found to add the feathers without getting too messy or glued to the feathers was to lay the feathers flat, add a little bit of glue, and add the next feather piece. We layered three pieces of feathers on top of each other.
- On the last piece of feather, we added some glue and glued our turkey clothespin to the feathers. Make sure to add enough glue, but not too much. The feathers are very thin and the glue will glue the feathers to your table or sheet of paper.
- Allow to dry overnight to make sure nothing falls off and that’s it! Let your kiddos have a gobble of a time with their adorable Clothespin Feathered Turkey’s!
My girls created a family portrait of us. I think this might be perfect for our Christmas cards! What do you think?
This fun fall turkey craft is perfect for fine motor skills practice or math counting activity. You can easily change the colors around or add jewels if you wanted.

All the submitted reviews for The Way We Weren't (FABF13). All ratings are out of 5. The average rating for this episode is 3.65.
When you have probably the best storyline in years, and a great writer (J Stewart Burns, writer of many Futurama episodes), along with the excellent animation as usual, you can't really go far wrong. This episode was funny, witty and heart-warming.
However, there were several things which bugged me. First of all, there were several continuity flaws. One example is Milhouse saying Homer was his first kiss, which is blatantly not true. This didn't bother me too much, since it was not important to the plot. Something which was a bit stupid was Homer saying Marge was his first and only kiss. He has kissed several women over the course of the series (such as Lurleen Lumpkin from Colonel Homer) - in fact, he kissed Patty in this very episode too!
Yet another flaw was Chief Wiggum appearing to be around the same age as Homer. In Mother Simpson, Wiggum was a teenager when Homer was a kid, so Wiggum should have been A LOT older than Homer.
While these things were a little annoying, they didn't stop me from enjoying the episode. What stops this episode from getting a perfect 5/5 is the bad voice acting. Homer and Marge's voices were excellent... well done to Dan & Julie for those. Some of the other voices were good too (Lenny, Helen Lovejoy), but Moe's, Comic Book Guy's and Chief Wiggum's voices were way off. They sounded exactly the same as their adult voices!
Despite this, the episode was funny and definitely a classic of the modern era of Simpsons episodes. If the last two episodes of the Season are anywhere near as good as this and Simple Simpson, this Season may well be regarded as the best since the golden years.
Great episode although the voices could be better "child-oriented"
After watching this episode i thought "They have really lost it." The plot was stupid, Marge would not have belived that his name was Elvis Jagger etc etc. And Homer would not have survived that fall. I hope the next season and the film will be better
This was a good episode but got very boring as it went on. It just didn't suit the script. Although the end was strange and funny.
CHIEF(NOT WIGGUM):I GUESS I'LL JUST GO HOME TO MY APARTMENT, MAKE A TUNA SANDWITCH, SWITCH ON WILL & GRACE AND...CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP.
MARGE:SAY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN US?
CHIEF:DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME I GOT AN EVENING
PLANNED!!! OOPS. I MEAN THIS EPISODE IS THE WANDERING JUVIE.SORRY FOLKS
very good episode ... it's always nice to see how homer and marge were when they were kids | <urn:uuid:162d2649-799a-4780-9fd4-1086a5b1d6f5> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,593 |

- ITAL 350 Italian Renaissance Women (M/W 11:00 – 12:15) 3 credits
“Did women have a Renaissance?” Joan Kelly polemically asked in 1977, only to answer in the negative: “there was no ‘renaissance’ for women, at least not during the Renaissance.” The extraordinary amount of scholarship conducted in the last forty years, however, allows us to provide a more nuanced answer. While women’s status did not improve dramatically during the Renaissance, it is now clear that many factors—from the development of the printed press to the rediscovery of Plato—led to a more positive view of women’s role in society and of their very nature. One particularly fascinating aspect of this phenomenon is the unprecedented emergence of women writers, a distinctive feature of early modern Italian culture. Women also explored other forms of creativity and affirmed themselves as composers, painters, and actresses. This course explores some of the protagonists of this extraordinary season, from writers to painters, from the humanists of the late fifteenth century—such as Isotta Nogarola and Cassandra Fedele—to Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia who in 1678 became the first woman in the world to receive a university degree. Conducted in Italian
Core:HALC – Hum, Art, Lit, Cul
- ITAL-383 Dante’s Afterlife Pop Culture 3 credits (T/F taught online)
This course has a twofold goal: reading selected cantos from Dante’s Divine Comedy and exploring its rewritings and adaptations in popular culture including literature, comics, cinema, rock/pop songs, television and the visual arts. The course entertains the question of why and how Dante’s Divine Comedy, written seven-hundred years ago, still continues to inspire creative artists in all fields of the arts and beyond. From Milton to Dan Brown and Matthew Pearl, from Salvador Dali to Sandow Birk and Go Nagai, and from Chaucer to David Fincher, artists have adapted and referenced the Divine Comedy as the most relevant text depicting afterlife in all ages and cultures. This course combines close readings of selected passages from Dante’s masterpiece with their analyses vis-à-vis with the many texts, songs, video games, traditional and graphic novels and movies which it has inspired.
- ITAL 444 Discourse, Identity and Narratives (TR 11:00 – 12:15) 3 credits
The study of identity is at the core of many disciplines in the social sciences and humanities, however there is a special link that connects language and discourse to identities. Not only does the way people speak reveal a lot about who they are, but it also predominantly through discourse and communication that individuals and communities convey and negotiate their sense of self. Among discourse genres, narrative has a privileged role in constructing and conveying identities and constitutes one of the main arenas in which such processes are negotiated. This course aims at reflecting on and learning about these connections between discourse and identity, with a particular focus on narrative and storytelling. Taught in English
- ITAL-460 Dante (T/R 2:00 – 3:15) 3 credits
The course will unfold as a reading of selected cantos of the Divine Comedy (Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise) and will highlight the thematic and conceptual continuity and unity of Dante’s poem. The course will stress the historical context, relations with Middle-Ages arts, the narrative structure of the poem and how it answers the question of spiritual conversion. It will discuss Dante’s involvement with the moral and political values of Florence and Italy and Dante’s political position with regards to the Empire and the Papacy; and it will emphasize both the stages in the pilgrim’s moral reformation and the poet’s deepening sense of his poetic art. It will end with an exploration of Dante’s representation of Paradise. Conducted in Italian.

Copyright laws can be strange and complex – there have been a few famous authors taken to court accused of stealing their story from another book – but the point made is serious. You can be sued for wrongfully using another person’s work.
Copyright is traditionally the way that authors can protect their own original work. It enables them to protect their writing from plagiarism which is defined as the work being used by other people who claim it as their own. This is particularly important on the internet, because it can be so easy to take someone else’s work by cutting and pasting it on your own website. This applies equally to graphics, photos and any other work that someone has created. Once you have created a piece of work then it is protected by law and another person cannot take it for their own use.
How do you ensure that the work you are using is legally unique?
You can write it yourself. If you take a subject and put it in your own words, then you own the copyright on that work and can do what you choose with it. Of course then you have to look out for someone else stealing it…
When you hire someone else to do the work, how do you know whether the work is truly written by them or if they have just copied and pasted it from another website? There is some free software out there to help you check out the writing, but you can also do a quick check yourself by searching for websites using your preferred keywords. The work is likely to come up on the first few pages if it has been taken.
You cannot copyright ideas – those are available for anyone to use. This can be difficult when two writers submit the same idea to a magazine. Sometimes that can be why they are rejected. The copyright is in the way that you write it using your own voice and style. Two people will write an article using the same title in two completely different ways.
Using photos and images is also subject to copyright. There are plenty of free sites out there. You can search Google images, looking for pictures that are available for commercial re-use if you use the advanced search. When you are writing for a commercial website, then you may be best advised to buy the right to use a photo from a stock photograph website. This gives you the widest possible choice so that you can find the photo you are looking for.
Even if you believe an image is free to use, you should always check that there are no limitations on how it can be used and it is polite, where possible, to let the owner of the picture know that you have used it and include a link for them to check it out.
If you are in the business of regularly providing content such as a website owner, a blog writer or email newsletters, do be careful that what you write is 100% unique content. That way you can be sure that you will not have a lawsuit landing on your doormat.

Sabbath School Lesson 2017 Quarter 3 Lesson 3 Thursday
The lesson asks what reasons did Paul give for confronting Peter publicly, and references Galatians 2:11-14:
11 When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong. 12 Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. 13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray. 14 When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?
What was the issue?
That division would be introduced, based on a false artificial, imposed law, ritualistic criteria, rather than based on the actual condition of heart and mind.
Now, one thing we need to do is to look back at Acts, to the record of this meeting. They did Now, one thing we need to do is to look back at Acts, to the record of this meeting. They did mention a few more things, didn’t they, like abstaining from immorality, and from food offered to idols; though Paul didn’t follow that precisely, did he? “But then later, when Cephas came to Antioch I opposed him to his face.” Why is he mentioning that here?
Is he still underscoring the fact that he did not bow to anyone’s authority with respect to gospel? But that he felt so certain about the gospel that even when someone like Peter acted in a manner that was not consistent with the gospel, he would correct him, to his face and in public. I think he’s still on the same subject, because not until Galatians 3:1 does he really pick up his original question again.
“When Cephas came to Antioch I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. For before certain men came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came [from headquarters] he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party.”
Which seems to suggest that the folk at headquarters tended to lean that way. “And with him the rest of the Jews acted insincerely, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their insincerity.”
You see, after the vision of the sheets on the roof, Peter had learned something about the proper treatment of his fellow human beings, and he went and treated Cornelius as one should; and he began to enjoy the new freedom. He could eat with Gentiles without feeling guilty and contaminated. But when brethren came down from headquarters, he was scared, and he withdrew.
Paul suggested that Peter lacked the conviction about the gospel that he had himself. “But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel,” see, he mentions that. Circumcision, then, seems to be involved in the perversion of the gospel, doesn’t it? And what circumcision implies. “I said to Cephas before them all, ‘If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?’”And he goes on with that argument. But not to get too involved in that.
Did he do the right thing, correcting Peter to his face and in public? When an apostle does something isn’t it always right? When Bible writers do something, isn’t it always right? The one who wrote the Psalms, didn’t he always do the right thing?
So we can’t always be sure, can we, just because it’s recorded, that it’s right. Unless a voice comes from heaven and says, “Paul, Peter really deserved it. Well done.” This is what Paul did. And he felt Peter really deserved it. And I hope there were tears in his voice. But what is so wonderful is that Peter, later on, didn’t hold it against Paul.
You would think he might, but as I mentioned, when you come to Peter’s second letter he refers to ‘our dear brother Paul’, and so on. Now, does that sound like Peter in the beginning? When we get to the letters of Peter, the evidence that Peter was really changed is something to read! It evidently took a little time. But we cannot always assume, can we, that when a leader in the Bible, someone who is being specially used by God, does something, that it is necessarily done in the best possible way. Or what do you think? Is that hazardous to say?

Mother Raccoon with Babies
- Raccoons are excellent mothers. They take great care of their babies. When the babies are young, they stay in a nest while the mother raccoon goes
and forages for extra food to make enough milk to feed them. After about twelve weeks, the young have grown large enough that they start to follow the mother outside of
the nest area (the nest is usually in a tree hollow or an attic) and outside, where they learn from her how to forage for food, and where are the best places to go. They
are weaned by 16 weeks. The young stay with her for some time, up to nine months, and finally go off on their own. Although a female raccoon can give birth to up to eight
pups (though four is average), by the nine months after birth, there's usually only two or so left. She then finds a new mate.
In the above photo I've actually
used a litter of pups as bait to catch the mother raccoon. This is a very common tactic that I employ when I am getting raccoons out of an attic. I usually can't
get the mother right away, but I can find the nest of baby raccoons and then set them in a back of a trap. The mother raccoon will always go in for them, and then I have
them all, such as in this photograph. I am then able to relocate them to the wild all at once. I know that it must be hard on the raccoons to find themselves
outside of their former warm, dry attic home, but the young stand the best chance of survival if they stay with their great mom. If I give the young to a wildlife
rehabber who raises them and releases them, they won't have learned essential survival skills.

Do raccoons make good mothers? - Although there will normally be four to six raccoons in a territory for reasons of protection, Raccoons live a mostly solitary existence their entire lives with two exceptions. During mating in January or February, a female may stay briefly in a den with a male. In late April, early May, when a female has her babies or kits she stays in a family group with her offspring. A female raccoon spends a large amount of her pregnancy looking for the perfect place to nest. She will look to secret herself away in a cosy, hidden den to await the birth of her babies a week or so before she is due. After she gives birth to between one and six tiny, blind, hairless kits she will spend all her time attending to them. The female, or sow, has the duty of raising her young all on her own. This makes her very protective of her kits. For the first few weeks she will leave the nest only to feed and return frequently to nurse them. She will often patrol the area around her den looking for possible predators.
The Kits are totally helpless when they are born and will not even open their eyes till about five weeks of age. At six to eight weeks they can finally stand on their own. The mother raccoon will wean her young between three and four months of age. At this time she will begin taking them out with her to look for food. She can often be seen carrying a young kit in her mouth on the adventures. Even though the average lifespan of a raccoon is only two and one –half years, it takes about one year for the young raccoons to perfect their food gathering and survival skills. At this time their mother will start to let them wander off on their own, still keeping a watchful eye. By the time they are fourteen months of age, she will have left them alone completely. Female raccoons will become sexually mature around eleven months- about the time they leave. Males do not become sexually active until they are around two years of age.

The raccoon (Procyon lotor), is a unique animal native to North America. It's not closely related to any other animals, with distant relatives such as bears and weasels. Coons are easy to recognize, with a black mask and ringed tail. Raccoons tend to weigh between 10-20 pounds
as adults. They are mostly nocturnal, and are omnivores. Racoons average a lifespan of about 5 years in the wild, and have a litter of 3-6 young each spring. They are very strong, excellent climbers, very intelligent, and they are very skilled with their hands. Raccoons have learned to
thrive in urban areas, and live in very high densities in cities, where they eat garbage and pet food. They commonly break into homes and attics, where they cause considerable damage, and they also destroy other property, and thus racoons are considered pest animals by many people. Raccoon
control and removal, especially from inside homes, is best left to a professional. | <urn:uuid:d49b5fb4-d931-4e4a-aa59-e10cdb28df3f> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 4,767 |
The station was established in March 1942 as Sioux City Army Air Base (AAB) and was a major training center during World War II under II Bomber Command for crew members of B-24 Liberators and B-17 Flying Fortresses. During the 1950s, the airfield was an Air Defense Command (ADC) fighter-interceptor base. Beginning in 1956, the ADC flying activity was reduced and Sioux City became an ADC command and control station for Ground Control Intercept (GCI) Radar Stations in the Midwest, later becoming a Direction Center (DC-22) for the ADC Sioux City Air Defense Sector and later the 30th Air Division. In 1968 ADC closed it's facilities, with the Iowa Air National Guard becoming the host unit at the base.
World War II
The construction of Sioux City AAB began in March 1942, about three months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Opened on 5 July 1942, it became a major training center during World War II, initially for B-17 Flying Fortress, and later B-24 Liberator groups. The base performed primarily Phase III advanced group training, and once completed, the groups were deployed overseas to either the Eighth Air Force (ETO), or Fifteenth Air Force (MTO) for combat operations.
The host unit at the base was the 354th Army Air Force Base Unit, and the major training organization was the 393d Combat Training School (later redesignated 224th Combat Crew Training School in 1944). At its peak, (October 1943) there were 940 officers and 5,183 enlisted men either assigned or attached to the base. The major training activities at Sioux City included aerial gunnery, bombardment, navigation, formation flying, and other related courses.
Initially training at the field was intended to prepare an entire bomb group for overseas combat (OTU - Operational Training Unit). After July 1943, sufficient Bomb Groups had been formed and trained, and the base switched to training individual crews as replacements or additions to various bomb groups (RTU - Replacement Training). Hollywood actor, pilot and Army Air Force Captain (later Colonel) James Stewart was posted to Sioux City with his squadron in 1943, where he and his crew completed their initial B-24 Liberator qualification prior to deployment overseas.
The training of B-17 crews continued until May 1945. Around that time, the field received a new mission which required the conversion of the facilities for B-29 Superfortress training.
The base was transferred to the 17th Bombardment Operational Training Wing and began the transition to start B-29 training. By early June, there were ten B-29's on the field. The new training program was short lived, however because in August 1945 it was canceled. With the end of World War II, the former training base switched to becoming a processing center to discharge personnel out of the service and back into civilian life.
With its mission completed, Sioux City Army Air Base closed in December 1945.

445th Bomb Group
The 445th Bomb Group boarded a troop train in Salt Lake City, UT and made the journey from the desert Southwest to the lush farmlands of Iowa and Sioux City Army Air Base, arriving on the evening of July 7th. In short order the Group was functioning in spite of Iowa's heat and humidity. The Group was fortunate to be able to occupy the former Wing Headquarter's building at that unit had been transferred to Boise, Idaho.
The end of the Group's training was nearing, but not before further drastic changes were made. Three of the Squadrons were sent to satellite fields. The 700th Bomb Squadron was stationed at Mitchell, South Dakota. The 701st Bomb Squadron was delighted to find its new home was scribner, Nebraska, which was a unique field in that the field and building were expertly camouflaged. It was quite difficult to locate the Base from the air. Watertown, South Dakota was the new home base for the 702nd Bomb Squadron. The Group Headquarters and 703rd Bomb Squadron stayed at Sioux City Army Air base.
Along with moving the Squadrons to their respective satellite fields, there were a number of personnel changes. One of the most notable characters to join the unit was the actor Jimmy Stewart. Stewart had been a B-17 instructor pilot at Gowen Field in Boise, Idaho. When Stewart was about to be finally sidelined because of an injury, fate interveened - he was offered the position of 703rd Bomb Squadron Operations Officer. Stewart quickly proved himself an able leader and was soon appointed as the new 703rd Squadron Commander. The new Group Intelligence Officer was Capt Donald S. Klopfer, of the New York Publishing Firm, Random House, and partner of Bennett Cerf. Major Carl Fleming replaced Capt O'Brien as 700th Bomb Squadron Commander. Switches were made in various other Squadron Intelligence Officer positions, as well as Squadron Administrative Officers and First Sergeants. Capt Taylor Minga became the new Group Chaplain and 1st Lt Leland Simpson the new Group Bombardier. | <urn:uuid:f4e6a37f-a023-460e-8fbc-64f6004b8afa> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 4,963 |

In two cases, however, it has been found in the absence of appreciable quantities of uranium and thorium compounds, namely in beryl, and in sylvine (potassium chloride).
These deposits, in addition to common salt, include the following minerals: sylvine, KC1; carnallite, KC1 MgC12.6H20 (transparent, deliquescent crystals, often red with diffused oxide of iron); kainite, K 2 SO 4 MgSO 4 MgC1 2 6H 2 O (hard crystalline masses, permanent in the air); kieserite MgS04 H20 (only very slowly dissolved by water); besides polyhalite, MgSO 4 K 2 SO 4.2CaSO 4.2H20anhydrite, CaSO 4; salt, NaC1, and some minor components.
These potassium minerals are not confined to Stassfurt; larger quantities of sylvine and kainite are met with in the salt mines of Kalusz in the eastern Carpathian Mountains.
Chlorine is never found in nature in the uncombined condition, but in combination with the alkali metals it occurs widely distributed in the form of rock-salt (sodium chloride); as sylvine and carnallite, at Stassfiirt; and to a smaller extent in various other minerals such as matlockite and horn-mercury.

The pale, cold moonlight drifts in through the open window and falls on my bare skin as I wake up with a start. My hands go immediately to my neck as I feel the heart shaped pendant that hangs there from an old silver chain.
“Oh Tom,” I sigh, as a tear slides down my cheek.
I remember it was a knock that woke me up – three short raps on the knocker. But I can’t hear a thing now, other than the content little snores of my son Matt through the walls. Even the breeze that usually rustles through the branches of the old oak is silent today.
“Imagining things again,” I whisper.
I lie down again, and stare at the ceiling. Five years… it has been five long years since I last heard from him. They say he’s dead, that he’ll never return to hold my hand again. If only he had called one last time to say goodbye. I had so much to tell him, so much love left to give him, so many memories left to make with him. If only he had called one last time, so I could have said how much I loved him, and missed him…
I hear the sound of knocking once again and jump up, alert. The bedside clock shows 1:11.
Who can it be at this unearthly hour? The news had reported a burglar in our neighborhood. Could it be him? I had latched every door, shut all the windows downstairs. Maybe he’s trying to trick me to opening the door so he can do his business. Maybe I should call the cops. But if he runs off, they’ll think I’m mad. They already think I’m mad. They won’t come. Even Mrs. McCarthy next door will not think anything if I call for help. I’m alone… all alone in this world, except for Matt. Do I wake him? No. He’s only fourteen. The burglar would just push him aside, maybe even hurt him or hold him hostage. What do I do?

Cosi louis nowra summary. Summary Of The Play 'Cosi' By Louis Nowra 2022-10-24
Cosi louis nowra summary
Cosi is a play written by Australian playwright Louis Nowra in the 1970s. The play is set in a psychiatric hospital, where a young director named Lewis is hired to put on a play with a group of patients who are suffering from various mental illnesses. Lewis initially has doubts about his ability to direct the play and about the value of using theatre as therapy, but he eventually comes to see the transformative power of art.
The play follows the rehearsals and eventual performance of the play-within-a-play, Mozart's Cosi fan tutte. The patients, who are initially skeptical and resistant to the idea, gradually become more invested in the production as they take on various roles and work together to bring the play to life.
Throughout the process, Lewis struggles with the challenges of working with a cast of patients who have varying levels of mental illness and capability. He also grapples with the ethical dilemma of using the patients' personal experiences and traumas as material for the play.
Despite these challenges, the patients and Lewis form close bonds and the play becomes a source of healing and empowerment for them. The performance is a success and the patients are able to find a sense of purpose and meaning through their participation in the play.
In the end, Lewis comes to understand the value of using art as therapy and the importance of giving voice to those who may not otherwise be heard. Cosi is a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of the power of art to heal and bring people together.

However, Cosi is much more than an examination of the effects of institutionalisation. For example, he enjoys reading and writing and he is a coward. You can help us out by revising, improving and updating thissection. David was born on December 29, 1896 in Chihuahua, Mexico to parents Cipriano Alfaro and Teresa Siquieros. Failure to understand this ultimately creates the central dramatic tension and resolution of the story.
This escalates to the opening night, where Nick confronts Lewis. The humour is entertaining and I found a sympathy more with the people who were unwell, than those living outside of the asylum. There's quite a few lines about the double standards between men and women when it comes to love and infidelity, but it didn't seem like Lewis really came to grips with that. Despite Lewis trying to pull everyone together, the audience and Lewis realise that the patients remain unpredictable. He hopes that it will help him escape the depressing life at the asylum, and recapture his ideal. Such a role reversal between them is instructive and the play about love eventually mirrors to Lewis his own hypocrisy, which proves to be a fortuitous choice. .
One of the main themes in Cosi, is the central idea of personal growth. Nick As passionate as Lucy about the injustice of the Vietnam War, Nick sees Lewis as his best friend initially. Desperate for money, he takes on the job of directing a show in a mental institution. This key difference is one that puts Lewis and Lucy into full contention, and results in their breakup. Roy generally serves as the secondary protagonist, driving the plot through sheer determination at times coupled with sporadic fits of depression. Diresting cosi fan tutti with emotionally and mentally handicapped people is the catalysts for lewis' own emotional and mental maturity. This will make sure that you tackle an important part of the analysis, which is the effect on the reader.
Cosi by Louis Nowra Essay
It struck me as a bit weird, though. Hence, Lewis discovers reality in a way. The peculiar smell in the theater of old burned leaves is suddenly explained when Lewis meets Doug, who is a pyromaniac, but who never has to take responsibility for the fires that he sets because Cherry owns up to starting them even when she didn't. This changes one day when he actually gets one of the jobs he applies for - a drama teacher, and play director, at a nearby hospital for the mentally ill. Lewis' inner journey has provided him with a new understanding of not only himself but the world around him. I also love that it's an Australian play!! Louis Nowra was my drama teacher and resident playwrite at University.
Cosi Louis Nowra Summary
Reality and Illusion Just as one should deservedly expect a play set in a mental institution to examine the nature of madness, so it is a given that when there is a play-within-a-play one of the dominant themes will be the nature of reality versus illusion. I also love that I've always thought that love was being foolish and stupid. An editor will review the submission and either publish your submission or providefeedback.

An editor will review the submission and either publish your submission or providefeedback. Lewis starts out just wanting to help people, a significant reason why activism about the Vietnam war is something he is involved with. Overall, it was a funny and light-hearted, if a bit forgettable. This is why an affair starts to develop between the two, and why Nick ultimately breaks his friendship with Lewis. The setting of the mental institution is important to Nowra because it was about the time when he had both grandmothers in mental institutions ad would often visit.
Ive always enjoyed stuff to do with old mental hospitals and stuff and I love how this one incorporates so much humour. Baba sees this as a weakness, and since Baba is a strong, brave and confident man he disapproves of his son which leads him to give Amir less affection than he would if the two were more alike. Lewis is now a university graduate who takes on a job of putting on a play — with a colourful cast of patients from a local mental asylum. We have an incredible team of tutors and mentors! This theme alludes specifically to such insecurity. The final idea is that this opening symbolises Lewis entering into this world and shinning a light into their darkness.
Summary Of The Play 'Cosi' By Louis Nowra
Lewis learns morals throughout the novel by doing the right thing for the patients and not judging them because of where they are. Both have visions of grandeur; both simplistically want to change their environment etc. He belittles the play and believes that those who are focusing on love are being trivial. They weren't demonised, nor were their problems glossed over. This is juxtaposed to his dialogue.
Although Roy does have anti-social tendencies and shortcomings such as his paranoia and stage-fright and a deprived childhood which has yielded to romantic illusions, it would be too simplistic to conclude that these are a sign of madness. This is not the case for Lucy and Nick. They are more likeable than Lucy and Nick who inhabit the outside world and have a very negitive view on mental patients.

Most minorities have proponents at the national level. However, there is one group that cuts across all ethnic and gender lines, that is not collectively represented nationally – Americans with disabilities.
As this is being written, the U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to hear and adjudicate a case that could conceivably undo everything that this diverse group has gained since enactment of the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 (actually signed into law in 1992). As far as can be determined, this has not been promulgated by any of the mainstream media outlets despite the fact that an estimated one in five Americans – 49 million (1994 figures) – are involved.
The case, Garrett v. University of Alabama, questions the constitutionality of the ADA. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in October and should issue its decision in early 2001.
At issue in the Supreme Court case is whether Congress had the constitutional
authority under the Fourteenth Amendment to enact the ADA. If the Supreme Court
says Congress did not, individuals may no longer be able to enforce Titles I and II of
the ADA against the states.
More importantly, a negative ruling could call into question the constitutionality of Title II of the ADA, as well as other disability rights statutes. Since this is viewed as a states rights issue, some states are likely to file a brief with the Supreme Court, urging the court to find that the ADA does not apply to them. Others, lead by the state of Minnesota, have filed briefs in support of the ADA.
However, in Kimel v. Florida Board of Regents, the Supreme Court held
that Congress did not have the authority to apply the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act (ADEA) to the states. In this case, Garrett v UAB, the state will be urging the Supreme Court to reach the same conclusion about the ADA.
If the court rules against the constitutionality of the ADA, what does it means where the rubber meets the road?
*As early as January, 2001, individuals may no longer be able to sue state entities for violations of the ADA.
Then, depending on the scope of the Supreme Court’s ruling:
*States may no longer have to comply with the ADA’s integration mandate.
*States may no longer have to make their buildings and services accessible.
*State capitols, state courts, and state universities, among others, may no longer have to have wheelchair ramps, provide interpreter services, or provide written materials in accessible formats.
*State employers may no longer have to comply with the ADA’s mandate against employment discrimination.
*State employers may be able to refuse to hire and/or fire people with disabilities, and may no longer have to provide employees with disabilities
reasonable accommodations in the workplace.
Whether one agrees or disagrees with the act, it affects so many people that at the very least it deserves a public hearing. Unfortunately, neither our elected officials nor candidates for high office have seen fit to address the issue.
Perhaps they should check the numbers and the size of this particular “minority.” | <urn:uuid:c56894e8-d16d-4c2e-9e1d-12a4cc042661> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 3,077 |

I beg to move, That the Bill be now read the Third time.
This Bill is a short, straightforward measure. It is a one-page, three-clause paving Bill designed simply to ensure the regularity and propriety of Government expenditure in accordance with Government accounting rules-no more, no less. As a narrow preparations measure, it obviously has nothing to say about the underlying policy, nature or operation of a planning gain supplement, although many Members have had much to say about such matters during our deliberations. In fact, I welcome that level of interest, along with the expertise demonstrated in all parts of the House, which has contributed and will continue to contribute to our thinking on the policy of a planning gain supplement.
It being one hour after the commencement of proceedings, Mr Deputy Speaker put forthwith the Question already proposed from the Chair, pursuant to Order [this day].

In this second short article, we will know additional about New Zealand – Heaven on Earth for confidence.
What New Zealand has to Supply?
New Zealand is such a diverse country, where you are going to uncover one thing for everybody. A nation that is wealthy in cultural heritage, which has globe-class wines and cuisine on offer, one of the friendliest and welcoming people on earth, and of course it’s on the list of safest, safe and stable nations to reside in.
Geography & Climate:
New Zealand is divided into two main islands – the North Island and South Island. Bothe Island is separated by Cook Strait. The smallest from the lot is the third 1, which is Stewart Island. The total distance from Top of North Island to the south of Stewart Island is approximately 1600 KM. Wellington is the capital of New Zealand, while Auckland is the biggest city and economic capital in the nation.
North Island is more cosmopolitan. Some of the key cities are Auckland, Hamilton, Rotorua, and Wellington. It is a lot more populated so additional traffic as well. However, in North Island, the distance between key cities is a comparatively shorter drive. The climate in North Island is warmer. In terms of scenic variety, it has everything to provide starting from farmland, geothermal land, vineyards, mountains, splendid beaches to geothermal activities as well.
Although South Island is bigger in terms of size 75% of the New Zealand population lives in North Island.
The average temperature in summer ranges between 14 degrees Celsius to 22 degrees and in winters it ranges from 12 degrees to 3 degrees Celsius.
Few things which you cannot miss while you are in North Island are a visit to Sky tower, Paihia beach, geothermal activities in Rotorua, and Hot water beaches.
- New Zealand typically has four seasons round the year.
- Summer: December to February – Average Temp: 15-28 degrees
- Autumn: March to May – Average Temp: 10 – 22 degrees
- Winter: June to August – Average temp: 6 – 18 degrees
- Spring: September to November – Average Temperature: 12 – 20 degrees
For tourists, the high season is between November to March and the low season will be between April to October. Though winter is the low season for New Zealand, however some from the towns like Queenstown will be busy with individuals interested in winter sports activities like skiing.
Getting around New Zealand is very easy and safe. There is good public transport connectivity between different parts of New Zealand. However, for tourists, the best mode of transportation is Self Drive. | <urn:uuid:ee71bffa-ea58-41a2-9707-ec858955aae7> | HuggingFaceTB/smollm-corpus/tree/main/fineweb-edu-dedup | smollm-corpus | eng_Latn | 2,558 |

Fitness for Self Improvement
Fitness for self improvement, how does that work. You want to be fit so you can spend time with your kids, go play sports and to increase the level of sports you already play. What about fitness to improve your self image, to feel better about yourself, to increase your self esteem and to make your smile a little brighter and increase your overall appearance.
Getting into shape can actually have that effect on the human body, spirit and mind, it's called self improvement. When you feel good about yourself because your have more energy, you are in better shape, you generally feel good about yourself as a whole.
You see if you are in shape and your muscles are toned you have a whole new outlook on life, like you are a King or a Queen and you are unstoppable.
Self improvement takes
Motivation, and self control. With this dedication and self control you can attain goals and
and go places like youv'e never been before.
Once that happens your whole outer appearance will start to take shape and change for the better. This self improvement in itself should be motivation enough to get in shape and stay in shape. But if it’s not enough you may need that little extra push, something starring you in the eye like a
you set and pasted upon the mirror so you can see it every day, that’s called fitness goal setting or what ever you want to call it.
Setting a Goal,
writing it out and sticking it in a place where you will see it every night before you go to bed can be that extra kick in the pants that gets you up in the morning. If you write down a goal saying something like “I am going to get up every morning at 6:00 am to work out” and paste it on the mirror in your bathroom and read it every night before you go to bed your mind will focus on this saying all night and believe it or not, you will wake up at 6:00 am.
Whether you get up or not will be your decision, but if you don’t get up your subconscious will play with your mind all day and wonder why you did not get up in the morning. Soon you will not think about it and just wake up, get out of bed and get ready to work out before you realize how early it is.
The bottom line is, when you feel good, you look good you act according to what you are feeling and people will see the glow in your eye and you will be more approachable and more enjoyable to be around. You will have fun and fitness for fun is what it is all about.
Life is short, don’t be mad and cranky and angry all of you life. Get excited, be happy and have fun. Fitness can be fun, make it what you want not what you think it is, fitness is

Learn From My Experiences, Speed Up Your Self Improvement
I have been on this self improvement journey for some years. It has been a fun journey of learning and self discovery. I have read many books and attended courses, seminars and workshops. Along the way I have acquired tools and self-help techniques, which will be readily available on this site. | <urn:uuid:694b9eb1-dc25-4174-a3d6-404c9215cde1> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 3,766 |
Writing is a marathon. You can’t make small efforts. We must train hard, and perseverance remains our greatest ally. Waiting is part of the journey. Sometimes we don’t see the sunrise until we’ve braved the long periods between writing our novel and publication.
I’m excited to see what I’m able to accomplish this week. I will post the second chapter of Whippercreek and continue to write more chapters for the coming weeks. I’m waiting for a writing conference this fall, and I’m patiently building followers on Twitter and Facebook. If you haven’t already followed me, click those links. A following is huge in writing, and I would appreciate your support.
I began editing last week, and I noticed the need to reduce prepositional phrases. It became easy to use them in academic writing, but it doesn’t always work well in a novel.
I’m also contemplating ordering some writing craft books. What are your favorites? I don’t have a ton, and I feel like this would improve my editing abilities. I need suggestions, so please leave your thoughts.
On another note, I’ve seen lots of blogs on responding to negative reviews. I received some negative feedback on my manuscript and am working through the comments. I think we have to realize that negative reviews hold some amount of truth. We become better writers, when we recognize these failures and work to improve them. It is also okay to cling to the positive, so I hold the weight of all my positive feedback as I review the negative to keep everything in perspective. How do you deal with negative reviews?
Best wishes for a great writing week! Enjoy the adventure… | <urn:uuid:0d829a4e-f139-447f-bde1-e07c16b9abdb> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 1,619 |
“Design and Development” is a core component of the instructional design courses, which are part of the ID/IT Certificate program. The purpose of this course is to study the systematic design of instruction. Participants will learn how to plan, develop, evaluate, and manage the instructional process effectively. Students will demonstrate their ability to systematically identify a learning/performance problem, conceptualize a solution, and design an instructional program.
Design and Development provides foundational knowledge to instructional design learners on identifying a problem, developing a solution, and then designing an instructional program to address the problem and solution.

About David Lloyd
Originally from Solihull, I moved to Suckley, Worcestershire in 2017 with my wife Rebecca.
I began my carpentry career as an apprentice at a Heritage restoration company based in Birmingham, William Sapcote & Sons. where I went on to complete my qualification of a NVQ 3 in Carpentry & Joinery. Progressing with various training I moved up to a site management role, running restoration projects ranging from minor works through to £300k projects.
Working primarily within heritage restoration I was able to learn the more traditional methods of carpentry whilst also being able to learn various other aspects of the building industry. I undertook anything from specialist roof repairs on National trust properties through to new build projects, as you will see from the photo galleries, I cover a wide aspect of work within the building trade.
A short break from carpentry saw me join a prestigious swimming pool company known for being one of the best in the country working on multi-million pound projects predominantly within London and the home counties. This furthered my ambition to achieve the best possible finish on all jobs I carried out no matter how big or small.
David Lloyd Carpentry was set up in January 2020 following my previous employer going into liquidation which ultimately gave me the push I needed to start my business, with the aim of providing a friendly local carpentry company that has the ability to achieve a high-quality finish to the customers exacting requirements.

Something strange is going through TDD land these last couple of weeks. First it was Uncle Bob,with a new TDD theory – making tests pass in a certain order, actually helps incremental design, leading to a better solution. This is a very interesting post, and if he’s right, he might have discovered the cornerstone of ALM 2.0.
Following that Mark Seemann’s TDD Apostate questioned the assumption that TDD is a magic bullet for good design. A week later, Michael Feathers posted on the same subject from a different angle: how language and design granularity affect the resulting design of the code.
What do the three posts have in common?
TDD is not what we thought it was.
- Uncle Bob says there is a blind spot in the current TDD process. If we could just identify it, it would help us get to the great design systematically.
- Mark Seemann says TDD is not a good design tool by itself. It could be if you’re a good designer. But by itself, it’s just a process.
- Michael feathers says TDD is affected by the environment, namely your code starting point, and even the language it’s written in.
Let’s not jump to conclusions. TDD has not failed. It has not even changed direction (at least until Uncle Bob or Michael Feathers prove me wrong). But it is the first shift in over 10 years in one of the most uncontested practices in XP or any agile methodology. Apparently, we don’t know everything about it.
TDD does not guarantee a good design. If you know what you’re doing it will probably work. If you know about SOLID, if you suffered from code maintainability in the past, you’d probably get a better design eventually. But it’s up to the driver.
TDD is still THE responsible way to develop software. It’s main value: It makes you think before you code. But it won’t prevent you from messing up if you don’t know what you’re doing. Placed in inexperienced hands, it will blow up in the face. Without knowledge in software design, it’s just a technique that produces tests.
I’m really interested to see where TDD is going next. For the time being, I suggest we go back to the original TDD acronym, though, where D stood for Development. Until we know better, let’s not make promises we can’t keep. | <urn:uuid:b5b3e719-8ffd-4b40-9635-8934988be45e> | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/main/sample/350BT | fineweb | eng_Latn | 2,201 |

What They're Saying
I had an amazing time on the Croatia retreat with
Travel Soul Yoga! The trip was perfectly planned with a mix of yoga practice, group activities and free time with great company. Katya led a beautiful and recharging experience!
I've taken two retreats with TSY (Croatia & Dominican Republic) and am registered for my third on the Amalfi Coast! I love the women I meet on these retreats and the balance of yoga, solitude, and adventure.

Why Is a Passport Important?
A passport is one of the most important forms of identification a person can possess. It is important to have a passport if you plan to travel to a different country so that you will be able to prove who you are and where you are from. Since travel security measures have increased it is almost impossible to travel without a passport.
A passport can be used as one of the most reliable forms of identification. A U.S. passport is issued by the U.S. Department of State and is almost impossible to forge. This makes a passport an irrefutable form of identification. Currently a passport is the only type of national identification that is available in the United States.
Proof of Citizenship
A passport can be used to prove your citizenship. Since the application process for a U.S. passport is extensive it would be nearly impossible to obtain a U.S. passport without being a citizen. So if your citizenship is ever in question being able to show the authorities your passport can clear up any confusion quickly.
As a U.S. citizen it is necessary to have a U.S. passport when traveling to other countries. A U.S. passport is an irrefutable document and proves that you are a U.S. citizen. Having this proof while traveling in another country is important in case something happens, for example, if you get injured and need medical care. It is also necessary to have a passport to be allowed to re-enter the United States.
For Keeping Track of Where you Have Traveled.
A passport contains pages that are stamped when you enter another country. These stamps contain the name of the country in which you have traveled which makes a passport a good tool for tracking where you have been, and a reminder of where you have yet to go.
