BkiUdbA5i7PA9B6M-P_J | ATLANTA – The Georgia Power Foundation has donated $50,000 to St. Vincent de Paul Georgia in Chamblee to help provide support to furloughed and unpaid federal workers and contractors in Georgia impacted by the partial government shutdown.
"We understand the shutdown may have affected federal workers, contractors and their families across the state," said Paul Bowers, chairman, president and CEO of Georgia Power. "We hope this partnership with St. Vincent de Paul Georgia will help provide some peace of mind during this time."
Through the fund, impacted families can ask for assistance by submitting a request to gapowerassistancefund@svdpgeorgia.org. Each email request should include the requestor's name, contact information, and a brief summary of situation.
St. Vincent de Paul Georgia works to help to those in need so they may achieve stability and move toward self-sufficiency. The non-profit organization runs many programs benefitting citizens across the state including Family Support Centers in North and Central Georgia, benefits screenings, direct aid support and more.
Around 800,000 federal government workers are furloughed or working without pay, and the shutdown is affecting many more Americans — though the government has taken steps to limit harm wherever possible. Friday is the first payday for the affected workers without a paycheck.
A total of nine federal agencies have a lapse in funding, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Treasury Department, the Department of Transportation and the Department of Agriculture.
This latest partial government shutdown is already the longest in modern history. President Donald Trump and Congressional Democrats are at odds over the president's proposed billion-dollar southern border wall. Trump has vowed the shutdown will last as long as it takes for him to win Congressional funding.

The image beneath is from Kieran McConville's Big Book - a personal collection of newspaper clipping relating to Creggan Parish 1748-1914 that he was kind enough to share with me on my most recent trip to Ireland.
Sharon Oddie Brown. January 21, 2012
29 Aug 1902 Armagh Guardian
AN ILLUSTRIOUS COUNTY ARMAGH MAN.
His work in the East.
Sir Thomas Jackson, one of the new baronets, whose name appeared in the lists of 26 June last, hails from across Crossmaglen, County Armagh, where he was born in 1841, and where, we understand, his respected mother still lives. He was in the service of the Belfast office of the Bank of Ireland until in 1864, when he went out to Hong Kong to join the staff of the Agra Bank. In 1866 he began his work in the service of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, whose chief manager he subsiquently became in 1876. From that year onward till May 1902, with the exception of a brief interval of two or three years when he was manager of the London office, he was the chief guiding mind of the affairs of this world-wide bank, whose principal business lies in financing and sustaining the immense commerce of the Far East, which is 60 per cent British.
So admirably as he done his work, that under him the bank has prospered abundantly, as well as in its own interest as in those of the British trade of which it is a mainstay in its own sphere. There is no citizen of the empire whose interests are not more or less concerned with the upholding and promoting of British trade in India and China and the Far East generally. Nor is there any agent more helpful towards the result than the head of a bank conducted with liberality and wide intelligence, and such has been the history of this great bank under Sir T. Jackson's guidance.
His government, knowing of his services to the interests of the empire, has given him a baronetcy, and the bank proprietors in Hong Kong have on two occasions voted him handsome gifts of money. In 1889 the annual meeting presented him with $50,000, and as lately as 16 August of this year, after his retirement from his important position, one of the most responsible the banking world, the proprietors at a meeting in Hong Kong not only voted him $100,000, but also, in token of their appreciation of his services, resolved to have a statue erected in Hong Kong, so that coming generations may not easily forget his work and worth.
He is an Ulsterman whose distinguished career is an honour to this commercial capital, which gave him his business training, and may, indeed, be taken as another illustration of the fact that Irishmen, no matter in what part of the world they may make their home, always come to the front, proving themselves worthy sons of the British Empire, connection with which has conferred such benefits on Ireland.

BkiUdPU5qhDBaN64Rxlk | Cycling in Goa.
Entertainment Lifestyle sports Travel
It's very well said, that the best way to see a place you are traveling to is to go at a slow pace and in your own vehicle. So what can be a slow-paced vehicle?
You guess it right friends – it's a Cycle. And for me, it always has been a great vehicle to explore the destinations I am visiting.
Goa too is best seen on a two-wheeler – I did that on a bike last year and this year it was on a cycle. Goa, as I have always been saying is a quintessential place, perfect for experiencing the sun, surf, and sand. Every year people flock to the beaches in Goa to stroll along the coastline or sunbathe on the sandy shores.
Last year and this year too, I noticed a lot of local and foreign tourists riding cycles and going around the heritage Portuguese houses, along the Mandovi River, the emerald green rice fields, and the hard-packed white sandy beaches.
When you are on a cycle, you have all the time with you, you can stop anywhere and enjoy. And whether familiar or off the beaten track, Goa has a different story to tell when explored on a bicycle. If one recalls, Bollywood movies like Ek Duje Ke Liye and the most recent Dear Zindagi have shown actors Rati Agnihotri, Shahrukh Khan, and Alia Bhatt rediscovering themselves in Goa while on a bicycle.
Today many Goans are conducting guided tours and solo expeditions. "Cycling around Goa is a unique experience that tourists want. One can cycle in and around Goa throughout the year. Even monsoons are a perfect time to cycle around and enjoy the scenic beauty of the state in the hinterlands. New cycle trails are being chalked out by cycle tour operators between June-September," informed Mr. Nilesh Cabral, Chairman of Goa Tourism Development Corporation, adding, "We have received many inquiries during international roadshows and travel fairs from foreign adventure groups for cycling expeditions in Goa."
Professional cyclists find Goa appealing because of its quiet lanes, vast coastline, beautiful hinterland, and hilly terrain. Apart from renting a simple bicycle for Rs 100 a day or a high-end geared one at Rs 250 a day, cyclists can be seen purchasing one ranging anywhere between Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000 to engage in this thrilling activity. With a helmet snugly fitted to the head, and food and water packed in a bag, many opt for long tours ranging from three to eight days to experience the local life of the state. This includes living in a rustic farmhouse relishing authentic Goan food to camping under a clear night sky.
Enthused by the growing response, Goa Tourism through Goa Tourism Development Corporation is planning to introduce battery-operated cycles for cycle tours and trails to give tourists a unique experience. Mr. Cabral said, "GTDC is known for successfully conducting adventure activities in the state. Our hot air balloon rides, hop on hop off bus tours and white water rafting is huge successes. We are now looking at introducing battery-operated cycles which will give tourists a different experience altogether." He further stated, "Goa Tourism is serious about conserving the environment. Hence, it is imperative that we look at new innovations to reduce rising pollution and road congestion by introducing environment-friendly modes of transport in the state."

PS4 Getting Officially Licensed Media Remote
by Jeff Cork on Jul 21, 2015 at 04:40 AM
If you spend time streaming movies and other media on your PlayStation 4, you may have come to the conclusion that the console's Dualshock 4 isn't the optimal way to navigate menus. With that in mind, peripheral maker PDP is stepping up with an officially licensed media remote.
The remote is priced at $30, and is pegged for an October release. In addition to controlling the PS4's media functionality, the device will also control supported televisions, receivers, and cable boxes. The device boasts a 6-month battery life, which certainly beats the alternative.
It may not be a game-changing piece of technology, but it's bound to be a welcome addition in homes where the PS4 is the central entertainment hub. There's something to be said for the simplicity of a standard remote, particularly in how it doesn't have trigger buttons or analog sticks that are easily jostled by less-aware family members.

BkiUcCPxK7Ehm9ic_abo | Rose Hall Cottage is a private dwelling located in Middleton Cheney, Banbury. The kitchen of the property is prone to water ingress along the base of the external wall periodically during heavy rainfall due to water bearing against the base of the external stone wall.
Koster were invited to carry out a trial on a section of track (the Metropolitan Line) located close to Farringdon station. The brief was to provide an elastic, permanent repair solution which would not cause any detrimental effect to the structure nor the trains passing through it.
Edenside Barn is a real-life demonstration property in the Cumbria Flood Resilient Showcase. The idea behind the Flood Resilient Showcase Project was to use products and materials that will try to keep water out of properties prone to flooding.
These luxury, new-build apartments benefit from stunning sea views on the South Wales Heritage Coastline at Ogmore-by-Sea and were recognised at the 2017 UK Property Awards, winning in the residential category for South East Wales. The development consists of seven high-end, 2-bed apartments built into a slightly sloping site.
As part of their ongoing relationship with the Imperial College London, Newton Specialist Contractor A.P. Gooch was tasked with assessing and waterproofing 11 historic Victorian brick vaults beneath London's streets, after the existing 'waterproof render' (not Newton's) had failed.
This new build luxury property in North London provides almost 17,000 sq ft of accommodation, set over four floors. This spectacular mansion features marbled flooring, atrium hallway, several bedrooms, a home cinema, luxury spa, swimming pool, massage, nail bar and hair dressing salon, entertaining rooms, formal and informal dining rooms. High volumes of hydrostatic water pressure was bearing on the structure, which was causing the property to suffer severe water ingress through construction joints.
Fed up of renting in London, Joe and Lina decided to build their own on a tiny 38m² plot of land in East London. With a budget of just under £200k they set about delivering Joe's innovative concept for a six half-floor house with floating concrete slab, designed to maximise the space into a 83m² home, all whilst being filmed by Channel 4's Grand Designs.
This luxury 12 property housing development near Holmfirth in rural West Yorkshire was to be built partially into an embankment on a sloping site. The presence of lower ground floor layouts with earth retaining elevations within the new properties necessitated the involvement of a structural waterproofing specialist to form part of the design and construction team.
Delivered on time and to budget. This project is unusual and offered an interesting scope. Delta's Technical Consultant, Paul Callaghan was approached to give assistance on designing a robust waterproofing solution to a new build basement within a Synagogue in North London.
Timberwise's (South East) team were called upon to investigate a property with a problematic damp basement in Sittingbourne, Kent. The property is a typical Victorian constructed circa 1900's semi-detached, brick constructed dwelling. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 1 |

What the Autograph Can Tell Us: Beethoven's Sonata in E Major, Opus 109
One of the treasures of the Library's collection of composers' autographs is the manuscript of Ludwig van Beethoven's late E major piano sonata. William Meredith presents a fascinating event with a distinguished collaborator, Malcolm Bilson, as partner. The talk and performance focuses on elements of the creative process visible in Beethoven's manuscript score, and some interesting details it can reveal about what Beethoven does not want the composer to do.
- Shin Hwang made his public debut as a pianist performing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Lafayette College Orchestra. He attended Edward Parmentier's harpsichord workshop, where he discovered his affinity for the harpsichord and early music. Since then he has performed both solo programs on the harpsichord and fortepiano and with the University of Michigan's baroque ensembles.
- A professor at the Music Department at Cornell University since 1968, Malcolm Bilson has distinguished himself as one of the pioneers in historic performance practice, specializing in performance on the fortepiano, the 18th century forerunner of the modern piano.
- William Meredith is the founding director of the Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies at San Jose State University, which opened to the public in 1985. He is editor of The Beethoven Journal and the scholarly monograph series American Beethoven Studies. He is currently working with Robin Wallace and Wayne Senner on the German reception history of Beethoven's music. He first studied the autograph of the Sonata Opus 109 when he was writing his dissertation on the compositional process of the work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Workers in North Kesteven area contribute £32 an hour to economy, figures show
North Kesteven's workers make £32.19 an hour for the UK's economy, figures published for the first time reveal.
By Patrick Jack
10th Mar 2020, 3:02pm
It means the area's workforce is less productive than the average across the country – and leaves it a long way behind some parts of London.
A leading policy thinktank said the "productivity output gap" is one of the biggest challenges facing the British economy.
New figures from the Office for National Statistics show North Kesteven had a gross value added of £32.19 per hour worked in 2018.
It was an increase of 3% on 2017, and means the area is below the UK average of £35.03 per hour.
GVA is the final value of the goods and services produced in an area and is used to measure contribution to the national economy.
The East Midlands as a whole has an average GVA of £30.00, making it the third-least productive region in Britain.
However, North Kesteven lags behind South Derbyshire (£49.16) and some other parts of the East Midlands – along with many areas in the capital.
The borough of Hounslow was named the most productive place in Britain, with a GVA per hour of £63.24.
These figures suggest the west London borough is more than three times as productive for the economy as the Welsh county of Powys.
Paul Swinney, director of policy and research at urban policy research unit Centre for Cities, said: "The productivity output gap between northern and southern cities is one of the biggest challenges facing the British economy.
"While cities and large towns in south-eastern England are among the most productive places in Europe, those in the north lag far behind and, as a result, it takes someone in Wigan a full working week to produce what it takes someone in Westminster just two and a half days.
"Addressing this disparity should be central to the Government's levelling up agenda. Transport investment within big cities will be important, and so will spending on adult education to upskill the workforce."
The ONS says that areas with high labour productivity will usually be home to a major manufacturing site or a large utility sector, and those with low productivity are typically more rural or isolated places.
A spokesman for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said: "This Government remains absolutely committed to the Northern Powerhouse and levelling up growth across the whole country to drive productivity, empower communities and rebalance opportunity.
"Alongside Local Industrial Strategies agreed with local business and civic leaders, we are committed to investing record levels in research and development throughout the UK and supporting local innovation through our £236 million Strength in Places fund."

BkiUdInxK7Ehm4qs0Vkg | Police make 2nd arrest in killing of Chester, Pa. Rite Aid manager
CHESTER, Pa. - September 22, 2013
Police say 23-year-old Rita Pultro was taken into custody Sunday afternoon.
"She was arrested around 12:30 somewhere in the 15th district. She did try to flee, ran into a house and was arrested," said Commissioner Joseph Bail, Chester Police.
Pultro was the second piece of the puzzle as police investigated the shooting death of Jason McClay.
Only Action News was there Saturday when the first suspect - 24-year-old David Wiggins was arrested in the Grays Ferry section of the city.
Police say the duo was seen on surveillance video entering the Rite Aid at 9th and Highland streets in Chester, just before closing Thursday night.
McClay, a store manager, was shot and killed.
Police say they are still investigating what the relationship is between the two suspects and who pulled the trigger.
Authorities believe the motive Thursday night was robbery.
"Anytime we're able to wrap up a homicide is a tremendous relief," said Commissioner Bail.
McClay's family gathered Saturday for a candlelight vigil remembering the Navy vet who loved sports.
After hearing of the first arrest they expressed gratitude to the Chester Police Department and never doubted that Pultro's arrest would come soon.
"The Chester cops told me it would take a day and a half and he kept his word," said Pat Reiley, McClay's brother.
Authorities say good police work and fingerprints left at the scene led them to quickly identify the suspects.
Both Wiggins and Pultro face first, second and third degree homicide charges and related offenses. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUbJQ4dbjiU69DgBUQ | It's a surveillance method to detect external parasites such as Varroa, Tropilaelaps mites and Braula fly. It is quick and simple – and does not kill the bees being sampled. The process of shaking bees in fine sugar dislodges the parasites' so they can be collected and examined.
It is a good idea to start incorporating the test into your spring and winter preparation checks – or anytime you are concerned about your bees.
Pick a warm day, as the test works better then.
Sugar shake jars are available from beekeeping suppliers. Or you can make your own.
*Jars should not be shared between beekeepers as they can harbour disease.
The Department of Primary Industries has a two-page handout on Sugar Shake Testing.
What about the sugar covered bees?
The bees should be returned onto top bars of the brood frames just in case you had included the queen in the sample. The sugar will stimulate grooming behaviour and the bees will soon be cleaned off.
If the sugar was shaken into a bucket or bowl of water, the sugar will dissolve and the parasites will float on the surface. Inspect the water surface thoroughly. The water can be poured through a white coffee filter paper or onto a sheet of white kitchen towel to make inspection easier.
If you think you have found Varroa mites, Tropilaelaps mites or Braula fly, contact the Exotic Plant Pest Hotline 1800 084 881 immediately. This line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Will I be in any trouble for making the call if no parasites are found?
No. It is better to report all suspicious sightings rather than allowing destructive pests to spread through Australia's bee population.

21045 Trafalgar Square is an Architecture set to be released in 2019. It is based on the landmark of the same name in London, England, UK.
3 LEGO.com Description
The set includes Trafalgar Square, which includes the National Gallery, Nelson's Column, and multiple lions, sculptures, statue plinths, and miniature buses and cabs, as well as a detailed baseplate.
The National Gallery is an art museum in Trafalgar Square in the City of Westminster, in Central London. Founded in 1824, it houses a collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900.
The Gallery is an exempt charity, and a non-departmental public body of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Its collection belongs to the government on behalf of the British public, and entry to the main collection is free of charge. It is among the most visited art museums in the world, after the Louvre, the British Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Trafalgar Square is a public square in the City of Westminster, Central London, built around the area formerly known as Charing Cross. Its name commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar, a British naval victory in the Napoleonic Wars with France and Spain that took place on 21 October 1805 off the coast of Cape Trafalgar.
The site of Trafalgar Square had been a significant landmark since the 13th century and originally contained the King's Mews. After George IV moved the mews to Buckingham Palace, the area was redeveloped by John Nash, but progress was slow after his death, and the square did not open until 1844. The 169-foot (52 m) Nelson's Column at its centre is guarded by four lion statues. A number of commemorative statues and sculptures occupy the square, but the Fourth Plinth, left empty since 1840, has been host to contemporary art since 1999.
The square has been used for community gatherings and political demonstrations, including Bloody Sunday in 1887, the culmination of the first Aldermaston March, anti-war protests, and campaigns against climate change. A Christmas tree has been donated to the square by Norway since 1947 and is erected for twelve days before and after Christmas Day. The square is a centre of annual celebrations on New Year's Eve. It was well known for its feral pigeons until their removals in the early 21st century.

BkiUdKM5qX_AY5k-ynfp | While not much for substance, when the director of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection appears before the House Financial Services Committee is usually great theater. When Richard Cordray was the director of the agency, Republicans on the committee would batter Cordray with questions while Democrats took turns picking Cordray up and parading him as the Robin Hood of financial services, taking from the organizations who robbed consumers and giving those unfortunate victims their money back.
When Mick Mulvaney replaced Cordray, the rhetoric flipped and it was Democrats taking the shots while Republicans were acting as the shield.
Tuesday's mid-term election results likely mean it's time for the script to flip again, and Rep. Maxine Waters [D-Calif.], the likely individual who will be the next chair of the House Financial Services Committee, went on TV yesterday and started laying the groundwork for the theatrics that are to come when Mulvaney or his successor sit down before the committee.
Saying that the agency is "under attack," Rep. Waters reiterated her interest in protecting consumers and her support of the bureau's mission, as well as "successful" work done by the BCFP during Cordray's tenure as director.
One area where companies in the ARM industry and Rep. Waters share some common ground is in the importance that small businesses have to the country's economy. Many collection agencies are small businesses, and Rep. Waters stressed her belief in protecting those companies and giving them the resources they need to grow and thrive. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUcXDxK7Ehm4qsz3Yj | It's been a rough few months trying to get the best grades possible and finishing all my college visits and applications, and I just wanted to say thanks for hanging in there with me. I know at times you wanted to disown me. I saw the way you looked at me when I threw my laptop across the room, unable to write another reason why University X is the only place I would want to go, but here we are, mid-January and I just wanted to say thank you for hanging in. Everyone is telling me how time will fly over the next few months and that I need to slow it down, enjoy every minute and make these last days of childhood count. Not to worry, I have a very long senior year bucket list, and I plan on ticking off my to-do list items one by one. But as I was thinking about all the fun things I still want to do before graduation, it occurred to me that all of my good friends who are juniors might be writing this same letter next year after a grueling six months of getting through their college process. Why not pass on some words of wisdom that might make the most stressful process I've ever been through a little easier, or minimally to save them some time.
When you are on college visits, make sure to write down at least three things that struck you as unique. Because after your 10th college visit, all schools will blur together. When it comes time to write the Why Us essay you will be thrilled to pull out your little notepad. All of a sudden, memories of the fresh sushi you ate in the cafeteria, the diverse signage on the bulletin board in the union and how Sydney, your tour guide, was one of the most interesting 19-year-olds you've ever met will come flooding back.
Don't wait to write your Common Application essay. Last year, the prompts came out at the end of January. That means you can start writing your essay in the next few weeks. Many of my friends said they wanted to wait to write the essay because nothing big had happened to them and they were hoping over the summer, they would have this huge epiphany and the essay would write itself. What I've realized is that most kids our age don't have a big story to tell and that isn't what admissions are looking for anyway. They are looking for the small story that tells the larger one. That story already exists in your memory bank, and you can start writing about it as soon as the prompts are announced. The best essay is one that goes through many many edits and isn't rushed in the fall.
Try to have a college list that includes Early Action and Rolling Admissions as well as Regular (in addition to Early Decision if you are going that route). I knew where I wanted to apply Early Decision, but I also had a few Early Action schools. It's nice to have a few acceptances if your ED doesn't work out. Trust me; you'll be happy to know you are going somewhere instead of having to wait until April.
Get organized! Once you have your list of schools that you want to apply to, do the research to find out which have supplemental essays, what their word counts are and when they are due. Then arrange them in due date order and see if there is any crossover between schools. Many schools ask for supplementals about work experience or extracurriculars. Write the essay that has the longest word count first and then edit it down to the lower word count for the additional school. Work efficiently. There can be a lot of supplemental essays, and you don't want to make more work for yourself than necessary.
Stay cool. They say there is a school for everyone and there is. Don't pay too much attention to what your friends and peers are doing – everyone is unique, has their selling points, and experiences and your applications will reflect those differences. Just make sure your list is thorough and includes schools across the range from safer to reach.
There is no easy way through the process but its a right of passage that most teenagers must go through. Hopefully, these tips can help make it a little less anxiety ridden for the next group of seniors. Now, back to my senior bucket list! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdnrxK0zjCobCO01Z | Q: Boto-like library for Google Cloud Storage Boto provides a simple way to upload a file to Amazon S3:
conn = boto.connect_s3(settings.AWS_ACCESS_KEY, settings.AWS_SECRET_KEY)
bucket = conn.get_bucket(bucket) # my 'folder'
key = bucket.new_key(s3_filename) # my 'filename'
key.set_contents_from_filename('myfile.txt')
Is there an equivalent way to do the same for Google Cloud Storage with python? All the examples I've seen have involved 50+ lines of code to do a 'simple' operation, like upload a local file.
How could this be done (from the CLI)?
A: For program use via Python, the boto library and gcs-oauth2-boto-plugin let you use essentially the same code for interacting with GCS, as you can use for S3 (or presumably other cloud storage services with the right plugins).
See https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gspythonlibrary for instructions on how to download and install the library and plugin, and several short example snippets of Python code to perform various operations. Other detailed instructions are at https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil_install#boto .
CLI usage is even simpler; once you've installed and authenticated gsutil, for example, a typical "upload a bunch of files" CLI command is
$ gsutil cp *.txt gs://my_bucket
(using $ to mean "the shell prompt":-).

A good way to get updated information is to locate communities online that specialize in Virginia Alzheimer's care. This will help to reduce the excessive guess work that goes along with seeking Alzheimer's care providers on the internet. These specific communities not only have updated data but also offer numerous alternatives for seniors with this disease. They can get the best care possible and be part of a great environment.

BkiUf0DxK4sA-9zSDCuX | Five talking points from stage 10 of the Vuelta a España
Nibali on the attack; Roche's clever move; rain in Spain; and more talking points from stage 10 of the 2017 Vuelta a España

Vincenzo Nibali on the attack

When Bahrain-Merida moved to the front of the peloton on the ascent of Collado Bermejo – the key climb on stage 10 of the Vuelta a España on Tuesday – you knew that they were teeing up Vincenzo Nibali for the descent. The Italian is well known to be one of the best descenders in the bunch, and he was looking to capitalise on the opportunity.
Sure enough, he attacked over the top of the climb, putting pressure on the other GC riders to take risks in following him on the sinuous roads. However, race leader Chris Froome (Team Sky) has shown in the past couple of seasons that he, too, can descend with the best and Nibali could not make any headway.

By the time the terrain flattened out, the pace eased off, even allowing Froome and Nibali time to have a chat as they cruised home. Their steady speed also meant that a dropped group rejoined them, with Ilnur Zakarin (Katusha-Alpecin) getting back in touch with the rest of the GC riders.
Although Nibali's downhill move ultimately bore no fruit, it shows that he is willing to play to his strengths and attack Froome when he can. It bodes well for an exciting second half of the three-week race.
Roche reclaims time

The biggest winner of the day in terms of the general classification was Irishman Nicolas Roche (BMC Racing), who descended like a stone to gain a significant amount of time on his rivals.
Roche started the day in third place overall, one minute and five seconds behind Froome and 29 seconds adrift of second-placed Chaves.

When Nibali attacked on the downhill of Collado Bermejo, Roche followed him – and then accelerated again to distance Nibali and all of the other GC contenders. By the line, Roche had reclaimed all 29 seconds of his deficit on Chaves.
Roche is still third overall, but is now tied on time with Chaves after a very clever bit of riding and 41 seconds ahead of Nibali in fourth.
The rain in Spain
Heavy rain greeted the riders as they arrived for the start of the stage on Tuesday morning in Caravaca. After nine stages and a rest day largely blessed with clear skies and sunshine, it came as something of a shock.
The twisting, hairpin-strewn descent of the day's big climb of Collado Bermejo was intermittently under trees, switching from wet to dry as the rain eased during the day. Rough edges and leaves to the side of the asphalt meant riders had to stay vigilant.
>>> Chris Froome braced for Alberto Contador attack on stage 11 summit finish at Vuelta a España
Peaking at around 22km to go until the finish, everyone was aware of how crucial positioning would be on the descent to avoid getting caught up in a crash, and the peloton was soon whittled down on the category one climb with nerves on edge.
Thankfully, the rain stopped and rapidly drying conditions meant that there were no major incidents, and by the finish the sun had come out again.
Another win for Quick-Step

For the first half of the stage it looked like we may have a repeat of stage two, when a break failed to form until the final 10km. However, after a nervous and wet 90km of racing an escape group did assemble and the stage honours were fought out among the escapees.
Matteo Trentin (Quick-Step Floors) once again showed that he is in flying form, out-pacing José Joaquín Rojas (Movistar) in the two-up sprint to the line to take his second stage win – after also claiming stage four.
>>> Vuelta a España 2017: Latest news, reports and race info
It brings Quick-Step's tally up to four stage wins in total, after Yves Lampaert win stage two and Julian Alaphilippe claimed stage eight.
Although Trentin was wearing the green jersey of points classification leader, Froome was actually leading that competition going into the stage ahead of the Italian. But now, Trentin's win means that the jersey is rightfully his to wear on stage 11.
Still no win for Spain
José Joaquin Rojas had to settle for second as Spain awaits its first win of 2017. Photo: Yuzuru Sunada
José Joaquín Rojas (Movistar) came close to breaking Spain's duck at the 2017 Vuelta, where so far home riders have failed to score a single victory after 10 stages. There's also been no win for Spain's big team – Movistar.
Rojas's second-place behind Trentin must have stung, given that Trentin himself admitted that he struggled to stay on Rojas's wheel on the descent – roads that Rojas knows well.
Given the number and depth of talent of Spanish riders in the race, it's only a matter of time before one of them claims a stage win. Perhaps Spain's highest-placed rider overall, David De La Cruz (Quick-Step Floors), will repeat his feat of last year in being the first home rider to net a stage win. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

AFF SUZUKI CUP: Samsul salvage draw for Indonesia
Substitute Samsul Arif Munip was the toast of Indonesia when his goal five minutes to the end gave them a hard-earned 1-1 draw against hosts Vietnam in the second match of Group A of the AFF Suzuki Cup here at the My Dinh National Stadium.
In front of more than 35,000 screaming fans and sporting their new Grand Sport kit, Vietnam were all over Indonesia and where had it not been for the two defensive errors, the home team would have picked up the full points on the night.
"The fans turned out in numbers and while I'm very satisfied with the game, the result was beyond expectations," added Vietnam coach Toshiya Muiura.
"There were some errors but I don't think that it is right to blame the individuals. These things happen in football."
From the onset, it was always going to be tough at the My Dinh and Vietnam were certainly eager to show their prowess in front of their fans who had decked themselves in red, complete with drums and trumpets to boot.
And the pressure was non-stop as Vietnam left nothing in reserve to press Indonesia hard with striker Nguyen Hai Anh firing a point blank shot in the ninth minute that was blocked by keeper Kurnia Meiga.
As Indonesia absorbed the early pressure, there was no stopping Vietnam from grabbing the lead in the 12th minute when Que Ngoc Hai fired past Kurnia.
But while Vietnam were busy looking to double their advantage, an innocuous ball from midfield was mis-read by Vietnam defender Dinh Tien Thanh which allowed the poaching Zulham Zamrun to ground the ball beyond the reach of Tran Nguyen Manh.
With the score tied at 1-1 at the half, Vietnam continued much in the same vein as they had done in the first half. In the 50th minute, Ngoc Hai had triple the chance to score but each time was denied either by Achmad Jufriyanto or Kurnia.
Growing in frustration, Vietnam brought in the talismanic Le Cong Vinh and he did not take too long to stamp his presence where in the 68th minute, a short pass from Nguyen Van Quyet saw him curled in the ball to the far post beyond an outstretched Kurnia.
Seemingly satisfied that they are about to approach their first three points of the campaign, a stiff grounder from Samsul in the 88th minute, saw keeper Nguyen Manh fumbling with the save as the ball trickled between his leg for the Indonesian equaliser.
"Luck played a big part in the draw today," said Indonesian coach Alfred Riedl. "Vietnam were the better team with their attacking flair.
"The game showed that our preparation was not good enough. There were problems in the game tonight but I prefer to deal with it at our own time."

BkiUafzxK1ThhCdy5361 | We cycled into Tucson and hung out with our good friends Larry & Mary Collins for a couple of days.
April 4, 2018 The first 35K out of Tucson is on paved bike paths. The cycling route through the area is wonderful. After the paved cycle route ends you end up on frontage roads paralleling the freeway. These roads have a should for most of the time. There are a few stores along the way and there is light traffic on the frontage roads.
At the Picacho Peak State Park there is camping for $30 per tent plus an entry fee of $3 per person. We declined paying these exorbitant fees. 15K further down the road there is a KOA but we didn't make it that far. Instead we wild camped just past the state park area in the desert on the left after finding a gate at the fence. On the GPS track the KOA is 5K past where we camped.
Andrew writes: I really dig hanging out with Larry. He is such a "cool cat", very laid-back and old-school. He cheers for the wrong baseball team (Red Sox) but he's still OK in my books. Mary is a real peach of a hostess too. Thanks guys for being awesome.
Riding in the States continues to be pretty stress-free as we are frequently on secondary roads. So far I've found the car drivers really pleasant and patient. I'm hoping this continues as we cycle north. I felt a little "hemmed-in" by the highway tonight as we were looking for a place to pitch the tent. The options at the state campground left a bit to be desired.
Amanda writes: We first met Larry & Mary in San Carlos Mexico almost 4 years ago. We hit it off right away and while we don't see each other often enough, it's always easy. All four of us are huge baseball and NFL fans and we have some pretty fun rivalries. Being able to spend a couple of days with them was exactly the down time we needed before pushing North. They also took the time to introduce us to Tucson and do some sightseeing. Andrew and Larry went and played pickle ball and saw other friends from Mexico while Mary and I hiked some trails in the neighbourhood. These two friends help me feel better about the friendships we build as we travel. Sometimes it can be hard to really connect with people and then leave them so quickly. But with Larry and Mary it's like we never left and with the luxury of the internet we can continually raz them about the Yankees and Red Sox series.
Mary armed us with full bellies and a couple of goodies for the road and we were off. We were headed to Phoenix where we would take a couple of days to check out the city and enjoy the surrounding areas. The cycling was nice and easy and the roads in good shape. In spite of a flat tire we were in good spirits and really enjoying our new tent.
What a nice little account of your Tucson stay….clean,scenic and a good feeling of someone taking the time to take good care of you both and you were made to feel so welcome! Priceless! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUd6g5qoTBAjokqMux | First, I want to apologize for not being able to post a blog over the weekend as I have to do them via the office in Miami. Anyway, here I am writing to you at 12:32am.
I have just enjoyed the incredible music of Penny Matheson, our guest entertainer. Penny is a beautiful songstress who charmed our audiences with her spectacular renditions from The Sound of Music, Phantom of the Opera as well as some opera classics. It marked a pleasant end to an otherwise very mixed day, hence the title.
We have had some teething problems with our public address system and this morning after most of the guests had left the vessel in Izmir, Turkey, I had to do an hour of testing the system. I was very conscious that I would be disturbing the remaining guests onboard but it had to be done. Thank goodness we ironed out the problems and all is now well. This got my day off to a bit of a grumpy start, however.
Things did not improve when at around 1:00 pm I received a phone call to tell me that I had a guest wanting to speak to me at the Information Desk. I went to meet him and was immediately met by a torrent of anger and waving of fingers.
The guest (who will remain nameless) was so very upset and getting so irate that I actually was concerned he would do himself harm. Anyway, I asked him into my office where I discovered what was wrong. It turns out that he felt it was very wrong of me to promote tours that featured visits to mosques in Turkey (The Blue Mosque etc). He felt that for various reasons I will not mention, it was wrong, and by doing so, I was promoting terrorism.
I have been doing this job for twenty years in June and I have heard and seen a lot of things but I was not prepared for this.
I explained that The Blue Mosque is visited by hundreds of thousands of visitors each year from all over the world and, in fact, tomorrow we would have over 2,000 guests from the ship on tours visiting this and other Islamic treasures. He would not hear my reasoning and, as I tried to explain further, he left by calling me "the Sperm of the Devil." I sat there stunned and somewhat angry myself. I then got even more angry as I started to second guess myself. Had I done a bad thing by suggesting guests visit these places? Then I realized that I was an idiot just for thinking that. I hope you all agree.
I will try and talk to this gentlemen again tomorrow if for no other reason than to see what new name he has for me.
Being a cruise director is a funny thing. Just when you think that it's just not worth it and that nobody appreciates you, along comes something that makes this the best job in the world. Here is a letter from a disabled guest with obvious challenges in life but she has taken the time to write to me and, without her knowing it, rejuvenated me.
I wanted to write and tell you that I think you're a witty and hilarious cruise director. This is my first Carnival Cruise, and though I'm disappointed with my stateroom choice (I should have gotten an outside accessible room) I do love the entertainment on Carnival versus Royal Caribbean….The show was excellent, the female singer brought me to tears with that voice of her's.
I also have talked with other disabled guests and we all agree that the crew is excellent. They are helpful and caring. This cruise has been a great birthday gift for me. It has been a wonderful experience so far.
…was able to surprise me with a birthday cake and a great fruit basket. I am so happy to be part of this experience. I hope to see you on my excursion tomorrow in Izmir.
You can also view our guest's letter.
A special hello to Ayr's mum (she is one of our backstage managers) – Mum, your daughter is a wonderful employee and you should be very proud of her.
So, it was a mixed bag of a day but at the end of it I find myself writing to my new blogging friends and thank you all once again for your valuable time. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUfg7xK5YsWR0KktM8 | Garshasp II (Persian: گرشاسپ), was the last Persian Kakuyid Emir of Yazd and Abarkuh. He was the son of Ali ibn Faramurz.
Biography
After the death of Garshasp's father Ali ibn Faramurz in 1095 in a battle near Ray, he succeeded him as the head of the Kakuyid family, where he became an honored figure at the Saljuq court. At the beginning of the twelfth century, he enjoyed the favor of Sultan Muhammad. However, in 1118, when Muhammad's son Mahmud II ascended the throne, Garshasp fell into disgrace; slander about him spread to the court that made him lose confidence, and made Mahmud send a military force to Yazd where Garshasp was arrested and jailed in Jibal, while Yazd was granted to the royal cupbearer. Garshasp, however, escaped and returned to Yazd, where he requested protection from Ahmad Sanjar (Garshasp's wife was the sister of Ahmad).
Garshasp urged Ahmad to invade the domains of Mahmud II in Central Persia, and gave him information on how to march to Central Persia, and the ways to combat Mahmud II. Ahmad accepted and advanced with an army to the west in 1119, where he together with five kings defeated Mahmud II at Saveh. The kings who aided Ahmad during the battle was Garshasp himself, the Emir of Sistan and the Khwarazm-Shah, including two other unnamed kings. After being victorious, Ahmad then restored the domains of Garshasp II.
After that he returned to Yazd where disappeared from the chronicles, however, there is a mention of him fighting the Kara-Khitan Khanate, where he was reportedly killed, and which marked the end of the Kakuyid dynasty. However, his descendants continued to rule as Atabegs of Yazd.

BkiUba_xaKgS19lq9yM_ | I mentioned a few times that I was painting something for the Iona Craft Shop postcard art auction and it's now open for bids!
I painted a version of my Terrarium Ghost in watercolours (with metallic details!) and it's one of a kind. I did paint two at the same time so I could test things out. By the end, one was a total mess but at least I didn't ruin my good one. It's ages since I painted something traditionally – I'm so used to drawing digitally now that it was really hard without an undo option! There's a few things I wish I could change, but I'm mostly glad I finished it in time.
If you'd like to buy it, you can find it in the £100-£400 gallery. That's a guide price though and the reserve is £30 so feel free to try a lower bid and you could be lucky. There's loads of other artworks to bid on too including some famous names. All the proceeds go towards building a new village hall for the community so I hope they raise lots of money.
And if you love my trapped ghosts, there's a new set of postcards in my shop. These were made for my surprise boxes (still available!), which each have a random 2 postcards inside. The full set of four has Terrarium Ghost, Ghost Ship in a Bottle, Lava Lamp Ghost and Ghost in the Pickle Jar, all for £3. There's only a few available and they won't be back. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUecLxK7FjYEB4WkRT | WHENEVER I go to a branch of Wagamama, I normally don't have to even look at the menu.
WHENEVER I go to a branch of Wagamama, I normally don't have to even look at the menu.
I always know exactly what I'm having and go for the ebi raisukaree, a delicious rice dish which comes with prawns in a coconut and lime curry sauce, and fresh vegetables including peppers, mange tout and red onion.
But now a new summer menu has been launched at the pan-Asian chain so I was definitely tempted to stray from my comfort zone.
We went to the branch in Cardinal Place, Victoria, sitting inside as it was just a touch on the chilly side when we went. I chose a warm scallop and bacon salad, with green tea noodles – part of the range of summer salads on offer.
The bacon and scallops were deliciously salty, perfectly complementing the green tea noodles.
It was light enough for a summer evening, yet heavy enough that I left the restaurant feeling full.
My friend Marie-Louise had ordered the yasai katsu curry, which came with sweet potato, aubergine and butternut squash. The curry sauce was not overwhelming, as can sometimes be the case, allowing the flavour of the vegetables to come through.
We each chose a side dish – a plate of edamame beans and duck gyoza – duck dumplings served with spicy hoi sin sauce.
The mantra at Wagamama is that the food comes when it's ready, not in any particular order. But, as it worked out, we were brought everything at pretty much the same time and it was nice to be able to dip into the dishes in front of us as we pleased.
To wash down our meals, we both had a freshly squeezed fruit juice.
For dessert, my friend had a mango and lychee sorbet which was really fruity and flavoursome. Sticking with tradition, I rounded off the meal with my favourite dish – white chocolate and ginger cheesecake.
Our meal at Wagamama was excellent, with good quality food on offer at reasonable prices, and always service with a smile. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUfirxK1fBGwCLO9VX | Kansas City, Mo. — Less than five months after 800,000 people gathered to celebrate the Kansas City Royals' first World Series Championship in 30 years, Kansas Citians will reunite on Opening Day of the 2016 Major League Baseball season for the "Longest Opening Day First Pitch" to raise funds for the Kansas City MLB Urban Youth Academy.
The event on April 3rd, called "Relay the Way," is organized by the Fundraising Committee for the Kansas City MLB Urban Youth Academy in partnership with the Kansas City Royals, the Greater Kansas City Sports Commission and VML.
More than 2,500 fans are expected join the relay to throw a baseball along a 10-mile route from Kansas City's Union Station — the site of the City's historic World Series Championship rally — to Kauffman Stadium, the home of the Royals, signifying the power of baseball to connect an entire community and make a positive difference for our youth.
Coveted spots on the relay route, spaced approximately 20 feet apart along the route, are available for a minimum donation of $30.00 and can be reserved and purchased online at www.relaytheway.com. Participants will receive a commemorative T-shirt and proceeds will support the Kansas City MLB Urban Youth Academy, which will break ground at Parade Park near Kansas City's 18th & Vine Jazz District later this year.
The Academy's initial goal will be to serve approximately 800-1,000 youth per year, ages 6-18. In addition to providing free, year-round baseball and softball instruction and play, including hosting tournaments, coaching clinics and skills camps, the Academy will provide youth with access to tutoring programs, college prep classes, college and career fairs, financial literacy and internship programs, courses teaching math through the use of baseball statistics and MLB industry alternative career workshops.

Middle District of Louisiana
Baton Rouge Man Sentenced To 292 Months In Federal Prison For Interference With Commerce By Robbery and Gun Charges
U.S. Attorney's Office, Middle District of Louisiana
United States Attorney Ronald C. Gathe, Jr. announced that U.S. Chief Judge Shelly D. Dick sentenced Forrest Hardy, age 33, of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to 292 months in federal prison following his convictions for interference with commerce by robbery. The Court further sentenced Hardy to serve five years of supervised release following his term of imprisonment and ordered that the firearm involved be forfeited.
According to admissions made during his plea, on or about January 7, 2020, at approximately 6:41 p.m., Hardy, while wearing a mask, entered the Boost Mobile Store, located at 8180 Scenic Hwy, Baton Rouge, which is across the street from Baton Rouge Police Department's Fourth Precinct police station, and pointed a firearm at an employee. After Hardy demanded money kept in the cash registers, the employee complied with Hardy's demands, who removed and pocketed the cash. Hardy then fled from the store and ran to a 1999 Lexus SUV.
Following investigative leads, the following day, detectives identified the vehicle driven by Hardy and developed him as a suspect of this robbery. Video cameras captured images of Hardy's car enabling detectives to identify Hardy's vehicle as a gold-colored Lexus, bearing distinct coloring on the right front quarter panel.
On January 8, 2020, at approximately 7:20 p.m., Hardy, while wearing a green jacket and a black mask over his face, entered a Metro PCS cellular phone store, located at 1966 North Foster Dr., Baton Rouge. Hardy then pointed a loaded Glock, model 22, .40 caliber pistol, with an extended magazine and a weapon-mounted flashlight at an employee and demanded cash from the register. He removed the cash from the register and pocketed it. While aiming his firearm at the employee, Hardy demanded the cash that the business kept in its safe in the storage room. Concerned for his safety, the victim led the robber to the storage room. From his vantage point, the victim observed Hardy rummaging through the safe. Following the robbery, Hardy fled the premises in same vehicle, the 1999 Lexus SUV, he used the night before. Notably, the day before the robbery the safe contained an Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max and after the robbery the Apple iPhone Pro Max was no longer in the safe.
Later, on the evening of January 8, 2020, at approximately 8:25 p.m., law enforcement officers with the Baton Rouge Police Department stopped Hardy in the 1999 Lexus SUV, which bore the distinct coloring on one of its sides. Law enforcement officers observed, in plain view, a black handgun with an extended magazine, and a black mask on the front passenger seat. Police thereafter arrested Hardy.
A day or so later, during the execution of a search warrant on the 1999 Lexus SUV, law enforcement personnel found an assault style firearm, a .40 caliber Glock semiautomatic pistol with an extended magazine, stolen cash, a ski mask, the gloves used by Hardy during the robberies, and ammunition.
Previously, Hardy had been convicted of armed robbery in East Baton Rouge Parish in 2007 and convicted of second-degree battery and false imprisonment with a dangerous weapon in Lafayette Parish in 2019.
This matter was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Baton Rouge Police Department. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Robert W. Piedrahita and Jeremy S. Johnson.

BkiUbV025V5hcJY57Ysh | CONFERENCE2CLASSROOM
The start of a new season!
We are one week into spring - the days are lengthening and getting warmer, the snow is nearly melted, the ice is receding here in Kingston, the birds have returned and are singing, flowers are starting to sprout up, and like clockwork I got a nasty cold. Apologies for the brief hiatus from our regular weekly blog.
It is also the start of a new season for Conference2Classroom. Our articles of incorporation are back from review counsel and we are ready to incorporate! This time next week, I hope to be sharing the vision and direction for Conference2Classroom moving into the future.
Remote connections
Conference2Classroom founder Rachel Kuzmich recently sat down to speak about her research as a PhD student in the Department of Geography and Planning at Queen's University, among other things. As you would undoubtedly expect in having started Conference2Classroom, Rachel is very passionate about and committed to science communication, engagement and outreach. So she is always happy when she has an opportunity to share her science!
You can read the article and see its accompanying photo here, but we have included it below as well.
Throughout some parts of eastern Ontario, the Cerulean warbler makes its home. The small blue songbird, a threatened species in Ontario, is most commonly found in large, forested areas such as the Ottawa Valley.
As it flits from tree to tree in search of insects, the warbler is being closely observed and studied. Unseen and undetected, scientists like Rachel Kuzmich are watching its every move to try and understand why the species, which is declining in most of its range, is doing well around the Queen's University Biological Station just outside of Kingston.
"We know from existing publications that often birds select areas based on structure, and it would be impossible to survey the entire forest," she says. "We take advantage of light detection and ranging – or LiDAR – data which gives us a 3D point cloud so we can see the distribution for example of foliage in the vertical and horizontal kind of way."
Rachel is a first-year PhD student in the Department of Geography and Planning, and it was Queen's top-notch technology and interdisciplinary learning opportunities that first attracted her to Kingston. As part of her research, she uses cutting-edge LIDAR technology to study her tiny blue winged subjects alongside her supervisor, Dr. Paul Treitz. When it is time to analyze the data, she collaborates with experts in the Queen's Biology department – including Dr. Paul Martin – to examine the data from multiple perspectives.
While Rachel's research focuses on conservation efforts, it is just one way of demonstrating the value of LIDAR technologies. "The province is interested in collecting wall-to-wall LIDAR data for the entire province which will help with planning for roads and infrastructure, and there is a satellite called GEDI – Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation – launched in 2018 collecting laser data to facilitate carbon accounting," she says.
Being at Queen's has opened up a number of other doors for Rachel to further her development as an academic. She is currently serving as a teaching assistant in a Human Geography course, and preparing for a trip to the United Kingdom's Monks Wood National Nature Reserve this spring for a fieldwork opportunity. "It's amazing to be in a program that lets me collect my own data in the field and that is able to send me to the UK to do it."
Rachel isn't just interested in her own learning, however. She is currently establishing a not-for-profit called Conference2Classroom, which aims to connect people attending conferences with grade and high school classrooms so they can both share their knowledge and passion and raise awareness of different career opportunities.
"I grew up in Welland, Ontario, which was very blue-collar. I had no idea the remote sensing work I do today existed, though I am very happy to be doing this work now," she says. "Through Conference2Classroom I have facilitated a few events so far, including a pair of Queen's graduate students who attended the ArcticNet conference in Ottawa and shared their knowledge within a local school. I want to send these types of speakers to places like Tyendinaga or Odessa or Napanee or other rural and remote places within the Limestone District School Board where they may not typically get access to these same people."
Sharing knowledge is a significant passion of Rachel's. She is one of the leaders in the GoGeomatics group in Kingston, an organization which hosts free networking events for those working and studying in the geographic information system, remote sensing, drone, surveying, and geomatics fields in Canada, and she previously led the GoGeomatics group in Peterborough. Rachel is also a member of 500 Women Scientists, a chapter-based organization dedicated to making science open, inclusive, and accessible.
"The organization basically advocates for women doing science and encouraging younger girls who might be interested in science but don't have the tools or have never considered the idea," she says. "If you google 'scientist' and look at images you see what you would expect to see. Growing up, I was one of those girls who never considered that you can be a woman scientist. I think this organization offers a great opportunity for mentorship."
In the spirit of learning, Rachel is sharing her approach to applying for graduate school that helped her land her number one choice.
"I started looking at schools that had programs that would fit, and what their researchers and labs were doing. I read the most recent publications if it was looking like something that might be a fit for me. I then started reaching out via email, but I made sure not to start with my favourite program – knowing that the first draft of my pitch was likely to be a bit rambly because I was nervous. I started with my second and third choice to hone my pitch."

BkiUdM04ubng-qmPCWoh | Max is very nice type of this breed. He comes from English working lines (Rushill) that would be a great combination with working ancestors of Jasmina (Fox Run). No wonder that he has a lot of hunting drive and is used regurally in hunting. He is great oon fox and wild boar. He goes very far distances in order to search quarry. On land he has a very good nose. He is very compatible with everything and everyone proofing that even terrier with excellent harpness and harness predators can be such great family companion. He loves everybody he meet and appreciates it a lot being hugged and pette. He is very social with other dogs.
His big advantage is sensational nature and hunting drive. However he is very interesting as per exterior. Max is small and compatible dog with spannable chest, very nice head, good pigment and excellent broken coat. Meanwhile with all required health checks with good results.
I had the opportunity to stay with Max for a few days within this year. It was always perfect time with him and his owners. I convinced myself on the first hand that he is really very huge playfull pet, very frienly to people and dogs, excellent during the hunting and earthwork. Max is real asset not only for his owners but I beleive that such dog is the same asset for Czech breed. I am very happy to use such excellent dog particularly in combination with Jasmina.
Max judged by Geoff Burnhill (UK) – video here. | Many thanks for Max pictures to his owner Karin Mutzbauer.
We expect tricolor, broken and rough coated puppies in upcoming litter in combination with Jasmina. Hopefully puppies could inherit from their ancestors not only good working exterior but also a great temperament and good health. The puppies will be PLL clear by parentage! | c4 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdeHxK0iCl36cXSXM | The hue is pale, light. It has clear salmon tints, typical of the Grenache grape variety, with a dash of soft pink, due to Syrah and Carignan. The nose is rich and fresh.

As I now look back with the clarity of hindsight, I am convinced that coded racial appeals had at least as much, if not more, to do with the electoral success of the modern Republican Party than all of the domestic and foreign policy proposals crafted by well-intentioned analysts like me. This is what liberals have been saying for decades. I never believed them. Now I do, because Trump won by making the racist appeal, hitherto relatively subtle, obvious even to someone such as me who used to be in denial. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 |

Čilić at Wimbledon – break down to break through
The 2017 Wimbledon Mens' Singles tennis final was a date with destiny for Marin Čilić. His first Grand Slam final. Pitted against Roger Federer, one of the best players in the history of the game. Federer was bidding to win a record eighth Wimbledon title. Čilić was clearly the underdog, but he had beaten Federer before. Come what may, Čilić believed that he would make a game of it. He didn't see the truth coming.
Čilić started brightly, trading powerful strokes with Federer. Both players held serve in their opening games. The game was evenly poised, enigmatic, riveting. Federer didn't like it that way. Sensing that he couldn't overcome Čilić with power, he slowed his strokes and switched to deft shots. Reacting to one such shot, Čilić went down awkwardly. He was back on his feet immediately and—physically at least—didn't seem affected. The game went on. Federer won the first set but it was by no means game over.
The chasm
Then the chasm opened up and swallowed Marin Čilić. He lost point after point. Federer broke his serve. And Čilić, in turn, broke down and sobbed in front of a worldwide audience of millions. Čilić demonstrated, in an unusually public way, a fundamental principle of development: to break through you first have to break down.
The history of sports is littered with 'bridesmaid' players, players who almost-but-never-quite break through to the big time, the gold medal, the top of the podium. That moment that Federer enjoyed, kissing the gold trophy in the late afternoon south London sun. Upcoming players make it through to their first big final only to discover that, suddenly and unnervingly, there's a gulf between them and the crême de la crême. Most manage to stave off the emotional meltdown until they are safely away from centre court and its prying cameras. Some never recover. Others go away, retreat into stillness, do the necessary inner work and return to become champions.
Some never recover. Others go away, retreat into stillness, do the necessary inner work and return to become champions.
The same principle holds true in our personal lives. We are locked into a stable configuration by the extent of our comfort zone. We have a built-in limit on our achievements, unconscious and invisible. Many people spend their whole lives safely entrenched within its sphere, never daring to challenge themselves. But challenge it and you will hit it, as Marin Čilić did at Wimbledon. Perhaps not so publicly or spectacularly, but it will be just as emotionally challenging for you as it was for him.
To break down requires trust and faith. It requires surrender, letting go and releasing control. It dredges up fear, sets off emotional panic bells, and floods our senses with the whiff of self-destruction. It is painful, jarring and disorienting. But it is necessary for any significant growth. When a caterpillar climbs into its cocoon, it melts into a soup with no recognisable DNA before emerging as a caterpillar. Only then can the breakthrough happen. Only then can it fly.
On the Wimbledon centre court, Čilić buried himself under a towel. When the umpire called 'time' he returned to the game. The second set was gone but, by the third, Čilić had regained his composure. The last set, even though he lost it—and the match—was his best. He had made a game of it.
Come 2018, there will only be one player at Wimbledon that I'll be watching. Marin Čilić, hoping that he will turn his 2017 breakdown into a breakthrough.

BkiUbKHxK3xgpbERBcEl | Lexington Agencies Fund Help for the Vulnerable
Last week, United Way of the Bluegrass (UWBG) and Blue Grass Community Foundation (BGCF) joined forces to launch a Coronavirus Response Fund to help provide critical support to vulnerable populations across Central and Appalachia Kentucky who may be adversely affected by the Coronavirus outbreak.
Working closely with the City of Lexington – nonprofit and community leaders are uniting to streamline fundraising and impact efforts. "United, we will support regional organizations on the frontlines of this crisis to ensure that more citizens experiencing hardships can access basic needs like food, healthcare, childcare and transportation during this unprecedented time. As a coalition we can leverage and combine resources to assist more people and make meaningful impacts," said Timothy Johnson, UWBG President and CEO. "We are proud to partner with Blue Grass Community Foundation and the City of Lexington, and we look forward to working with other partners across the region."
Teams from UWBG and BGCF are working together to fundraise and deploy rapid-response grants. "Philanthropy literally means love of humankind. Making a contribution to support the most adversely impacted members of our community — children, adults and seniors — is a meaningful act of love. We invite everyone who is able, to join us and donate now," said Lisa Adkins, BGCF President and CEO.
The fund will extend beyond Fayette County as a regional coalition of philanthropy, government, faith leaders and business partners working to rapidly deploy funding to community-based organizations providing relief and essential resources to communities who are disproportionately impacted by the crisis. Today the Fund announced that it had raised over $175,000 to date, thanks to corporate coalition partners, BGCF fund holders, community donors, and sales from Kentucky for Kentucky's "United We Stand" and "Team Kentucky" tee shirts.
Lead coalition partners include Valvoline, Alltech Foundation, Toyota, Immanuel Baptist Church, Southland Christian Church, the Jenna and Matthew Mitchell Foundation, the Council of State Governments, Kentucky for Kentucky, iHeartMedia Lexington, WKYT, FOX-56 and Smiley Pete Publishing.
The fund is designed to complement the work of local public health, nonprofit, faith-based organizations and government entities – extending their capacity to support the influx of individuals and families experiencing hardships as a result of the outbreak and related economic disruptions.
"Neighbor to neighbor, friend to friend, business to community, that's how Lexington will get through this," Mayor Linda Gorton said. "As this crisis has unfolded, with wave after wave of new restrictions, Lexington has answered with wave after wave of kindness and compassion. We've reached out in small ways … picking up dinner at a restaurant, helping an elderly neighbor, opening up parking spaces. And today we're reaching out in a big way. Thank you to the businesses and organizations that are stepping up today to make like easier for thousands of people in Lexington and across Central and Appalachia Kentucky."
Officials are moving quickly to issue the initial round of regional grants to increase resiliency in disproportionately affected communities. The first grant will be awarded this week to God's Pantry to help deploy 10,000 meals to those in-need across the region.
Rapid-response grants will be released on a rolling basis as fundraising continues throughout the outbreak and recovery phases of the crisis, making it possible to move resources quickly and adapt to evolving needs. BGCF will administer grants from the Response Fund in partnership with UWBG and in close collaboration with community advisors and local governments.

BkiUdQ45qhLA3caTaw_v | Axl Rose has broken his foot ahead of tonight's arena launch of the 2016 Guns N' Roses reunion tour in Las Vegas.
TMZ reports the injury happened during when Axl slipped onstage while singing "Mr. Brownstone" during the band's exclusive club show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles on April 1. The rocker had surgery this past week to repair the fracture.
Rose tweeted: "This is what can happen when you do something you haven't done in nearly over 23 years,"Internal Fixation"
"Axl sustained a fracture of the fifth metatarsal, which is one of the bones in his foot," explains Santa Monica-based foot and ankle specialist Dr. Rachel Triche in a video linked from GNR's social media accounts. "Axl underwent what we call an open reduction internal fixation where we go in and put the bone pieces back together and realign them. We placed a plate and screws in order to hold them in place while it's healing.
"Right now he's in a cast and we're limiting how much weight he can put on it. He's having his set designed for the stage so he can still perform for everyone. He will be limiting the weight on the front part of the foot for about four weeks and we'll let him gradually progress from there so we can get him back to his stage-ready action."
Guns N' Roses will perform two shows this weekend at the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV before headlining Coachella on April 16, playing a pair of Mexico City shows followed by a return for an April 23 set at the second weekend of Coachella.
A full summer stadium tour of North America will open at Ford Field in Detroit, MI on June 23, with shows set to wrap up in San Diego, CA on August 22. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Some of the greatest Historical films
Posted by Josh Drew on Dec 12, 2018 in All, biopic, drama, fantasy, Film, News, thriller, Top 10 | 0 comments
No matter how far forward we seem to move, humanity will always be obsessed with ancient history. From epic blockbusters, to grand museums, even Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, the world's most famous casino is a tribute to the Rome of old. There have been hundreds of historical epics in Hollywood's history, but we take a look at some of the biggest, and the best.
The Passion of the Christ
Australian megastar Mel Gibson's biblical masterpiece cost $30 million to create, but grossed an incredible $612 million at the box office, making it the highest-grossing religious film, the highest-grossing R-rated film in the United States, and the highest grossing non-English-language film of all time. It follows the final 12 hours of Jesus Christ's life, including his death and resurrection, as well as glimpses and flashbacks of his childhood. The film was said to be cursed, as lead actor Jim Caviezel suffered from both hypothermia, and pneumonia whilst filming, dislocated his shoulder, and was accidentally thrashed during a whipping scene. On top of that, both Caviezel and assistant director Michelini were struck by lightning during the filming of the scene of the Sermon on the Mound.
Ridley Scott's epic historical drama stars Russell Crowe as the Gladiator Maximus Decimus Meridius, who is betrayed when Commodus, the ambitious son of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, murders his father and seizes the throne. Reduced to slavery, Maximus rises through the ranks of the gladiatorial arena to avenge the murders of his family and emperor. The film starred Joaquin Phoenix as the power-hungry Commodus, and Connie Nielsen as Lucilla, the former lover of Maximus and the older child of Marcus Aurelius.
One of the most important and famous films in history, 1959's Ben-Hur had the largest budget ($15.175 million) as well as the largest sets built of any film produced at the time. It won a record 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, a record that wasn't beaten until 1997's Titanic almost 40 years later. The film follows the character of Judah Ben-Hur, played by Jack Huston as he loses everything after his adopted brother Messala, an officer in the Roman army returns to Jerusalem and accuses the young prince of treason.
The second Ridley Scott film to feature, this biblical epic follows the story of The Exodus and the defiant leader Moses as he rises up against the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses, setting 600,000 slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt and its terrifying cycle of deadly plagues. The film starred Christian Bale as Moses, Joel Edgerton as Ramesses II and Sigourney Weaver as Tuya, Ramesses II's mother.
Directed by and starring Mel Gibson as William Wallace, 13th-century Scottish warrior rebel who leads an uprising against the English ruler Edward the Longshanks, who wishes to inherit the crown of Scotland for himself. Wallace begins his long quest to make Scotland free once and for all, along with the assistance of Robert the Bruce. The story is inspired by Blind Harry's epic poem "The Actes and Deidis of the Illustre and Vallyeant Campioun Schir William Wallace" and starred Sophie Marceau as Princess Isabella of France, Patrick McGoohan as Edward Longshanks and Angus Macfadyen as Robert the Bruce.
The 1959 biblical epic was directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starred Charlton Heston as Moses. It is a dramatization of the biblical story of the life of Moses, an adopted Egyptian prince who leads the Exodus of the Jews to Mount Sinai, where he receives from God, the Ten Commandments. In 1999, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.

BkiUfB7xK6EuNArbD40x | At only 8 calories a pop, how can you not love them? They're crunchy on the outside, and melt-in-your-mouth creamy on the inside. You can flavor them any way you like. They only take ten minutes to make. I'm convinced, they're pretty darn perfect.
Angel food cake gets its light airy texture from whipping air into egg whites. While I was making the cake, I kept thinking about those perfect crunchy little cookies. Meringue cookies are simply egg whites and sugar, whipped into oblivion, with any flavorings of your choice added. You can add lemon zest (my personal favorite), coco powder, a few drops of coffee, strawberry puree, almond extract, or vanilla extract (but that's just so…vanilla 😉 sorry, had to). I love to crumble the cookies on top of raspberries…or enjoy them just as they are.
This is what the whites look like just before adding flavoring, lemon zest in this case.
The perfect texture, light as air on the inside, crunchy on the outside.
Because these cookies don't rise in the oven, you can place them close together. I used a cookie scoop, you could use a spoon though. You can make them as large or small as you like.
Yep, I'm ending this post with a bang!
Here's the recipe, adapted from eatingwell.com, enjoy!
Separate one egg at a time into a small bowl, letting the white fall into the bowl and discarding the yolk. If there's any trace of yolk in the white, discard the white and start over. If it's yolk-free, transfer to a clean medium mixing bowl. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
Add cream of tartar to the whites and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Slowly add sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until all the sugar has been added. Continue beating until the whites are stiff and glossy. Add vanilla and beat for 30 seconds more.
Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 250F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop cookies, one at a time, on the baking sheet, spacing them about 1″ apart.
Bake the cookies until dry and crisp throughout, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer the pans to wire racks and let the cookies cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
Tip: To get the most volume from beaten egg whites, it's best to start with whites at room temperature. Submerge them in their shells in a bowl of lukewarm (not hot) water for about 5 minutes before using.
Wonder how they would turn out using Splenda or another artificial sweetner? Then I'd eat the whole batch!! | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbILxK03BfL1dThVE | This drawing had been in the possession of Richard Wilson's pupil Adolf Friedrich Harper and shows the two aviaries at the top level of the terraced gardens of the Farnese villa on the Palatine Hill, the earliest-known drawing of this view. This is the site where in 1752 Wilson first drew the Ionic capitals that were sketched by Johan Mandelberg and Johannes Wiedewelt, ca. 1755–56, and subsequently engraved by Piranesi. The drawing is in black chalk with white heightening on paper washed with a yellowish tint, familiar from other Wilson drawings of the early 1750s. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdIk4eIXhtfm3PCyU | PM's visit and interaction with students at Education City, Jawanga, Dantewada
Published By : Admin | May 9, 2015 | 12:40 IST
The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today called for the development of the innate sporting talent that exists among the tribal youth. Interacting with students at the Education City in Jawanga in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh, he said tribal youth could excel in the global sports arena. He added that sports is important for children, because it leads to the development of sportsman spirit in society.
Responding to questions from students, the Prime Minister said life should not be measured on a scale of success or failure. Talking about his own experiences, he said he has faced failure often in life. However he added that one can learn more from failure, than from success. He said one should be clear about one's goals, and have a firm resolve, in order to achieve success.
The Prime Minister also visited 'Saksham' - a school for specially-abled children - and interacted with students there.
The Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, Dr. Raman Singh, was present on the occasion.

BkiUfibxK7IDPXIhoLF9 | DALLAS – The latest job growth numbers for Texas provided some cheer during this current season of economic discontent.
More than 23,000 jobs were created in the state during October. In Dallas-Fort Worth, employment has grown by about 50,000 jobs from a year ago.
That's great news. My problem is I don't believe it.
I look around and see stores closing, restaurants shutting down and employers downsizing. So I wonder, where are these 50,000 new jobs?
I fear they're just on paper. That's certainly been the case before.
In 2001, during the last economic shakeout, the job counters overstated employment gains here by more than 80,000 workers. All it took was one revision of the numbers to move D-FW from the top employment market in the country to a record decline in jobs for that year.
Embarrassed employment economists explained that when the economy is rapidly decelerating, it's tough for them to get a handle on how many jobs are being added or taken away.
Fair enough. But that's why I'm leery.
Overstated job growth would also explain why we aren't seeing greater demand for real estate such as offices, apartments and such. It takes employment expansion to soak up empty properties.
The economists I talk to are still somewhat optimistic about the local job market. But they concede that the most recent job numbers seem a tad inflated.
"I would expect that the October employment figure will be revised, and that the third quarter could possibly be revised down," said D'Ann Petersen, a business economist with the Dallas Fed.
"That would be in line with our anecdotal reports.
"Even before those possible revisions, we have definitely seen a slowdown in job growth both at the state level and in Dallas-Fort Worth," Ms. Petersen said.
Motorists trying to get through the busy intersection of Northwest Highway and Hillcrest Road have something to look at besides all those brake lights. Construction is progressing on a three-story office and retail building on the northwest corner that replaces a collection of old retail buildings.
Called Hillcrest Crossing, the development by PRG Realty will open in the first half of 2009.
So far, the brick-and-glass building is about 60 percent leased to tenants including Capital One Bank, Equinox Fitness Club, Paradise Bakery and Toni & Guy salon.
Dallas architects O'Brien & Associates Inc. designed the project.
Developers and city officials in Richardson will hold a grand opening Dec. 10 for the Eastside complex at North Central Expressway and Campbell Road. The project, which surrounds Eastside Green park, will have 80,000 square feet of retail, 200,000 square feet of office space and 435 apartment homes.
Post Properties, Greenway Investments and Skyrise Properties are finishing work on the project, which has been under construction since 2006.
About 100 residents have moved into the apartments, and businesses in the shopping space include Panera, Boudreaux's, Jersey Mike's and Frost Bank. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdqY5qsBDHn4Qz3iF | You see them in the library, the grocery store and in the park – grandparents with a toddler in tow.
Though I have no factual basis for this, I believe that grandparents are stepping up in record numbers to help care for their grandchildren. I believe it because I've witnessed it firsthand: the grandfather sitting patiently with his grandson at a library computer; the grandmother in the supermarket, pushing her granddaughter in a cart; a grandmother and grandfather in the park strolling at a snail's pace with their wobbly grandchild.
When we're out with our grandkids we grandparents often exchange knowing smiles, aware of each other in public the same way kids and dogs are.
And then there all the grandparents at home with their grandkids, putting in long hours to help out their adult kids who're holding down jobs.
When I first started taking care of my granddaughter she hadn't even started walking yet. I wasn't equipped, nor did I have clearance from my daughter-in-law yet, to take her anywhere.
I almost panicked at the prospect. She was too young to do some of the things I imagined doing with a granddaughter, like baking cookies, molding shapes with Play-Doh, or even crayoning in a coloring book. When I started out, I had my grandbaby for the occasional full day while her mother drove to another town for a substitute teaching gig. In my mind, the hours loomed like an eternity. How was I going to fill them?
If you find yourself in a similar situation with a toddler, here are some activities that work for me, and they're all low or no-cost. These ideas, which I've gathered from other parents and grandparents, keep me from relying too much on my TV and other electronic devices to entertain my grandchild. I save the Sesame Street video for when I'm utterly exhausted!
Play ball. My granddaughter loves balls of all sizes. She holds them and chases after them like a puppy – she hasn't figured out yet how to throw them. (My better sense tells me not to hurry that.) You can find big soft balls that are safe enough to play with inside the house, or even make a ball out of rubber bands – your grandkids will think you're a wizard.
Bubbles! Kids love them. Bubbles do splatter, so I've found it best to play with them outside. You can use a commercial bubble wand and solution, or make your own bubble solution with dishwashing liquid (Joy works well). You can even craft an impressive bubble ring out of wire or a bent coat hanger. You'll want to supervise this activity closely – a popped soap bubble near the eye can sting!
Tea parties. You can find a child's tea set at a thrift store or assemble one yourself. You can set out toddler-friendly food like goldfish crackers or Cheerios, and we pour pretend tea out of an empty pot (you can use flavored water if you don't mind the spills). And be sure to invite all the dolls and stuffed animals so no one feels left out. It's extra fun if you can construct a canopy out of couch cushions, boxes, or blankets to give your tea party privacy.
Dance parties. Put on some music, grab your grandchild and dance. Bonus points for singing along. Carpool karaoke is fun, too, if you drive your grandkids around. Just watch the lyrics – remember how kids hear and repeat everything, usually at the most awkward times, too.
Scooping and sorting. My granddaughter loves it when I get a couple of buckets or tubs and fill one with dried beans or pasta. I give her my big spoons and measuring cups so she can transfer the contents of one tub to the other. You can use a variety of materials – rice, cornmeal, sand, and birdseed – or whatever you have on hand. A note of warning: the smaller the material the bigger the mess it makes. I found this out the hard way when my granddaughter used her scoop to fling beans all over my kitchen.
Go to your local library. Libraries not only have shelves full of books you and your grandchild can browse and check out, but many libraries also have free group activities, and puzzles and toys for kids to play with, too. You and your toddler can easily enjoy an hour or more there.
Take a walk. If weather permits, go outside – bring the stroller but allow your grandkids to walk, too, to better experience their surroundings. Slow yourself down to toddler time and examine every leaf, bug, or rock you come across.
Find a park. Play equipment is a blast for kids, as good as Disneyland. You can hold them on a slide, or put them in a baby swing. Depending on the play equipment, you can even climb on it with them. Trust me, they'll love it.
Explore the grocery store. A chore for you can be an amazing outing for your grandkids. Many of the markets where I live offer children under 12 a free piece of fruit. My granddaughter noshes on banana chunks while we go up and down the aisles, looking at the bins of colorful produce and rows of jars, cans, and boxes. Some stores even have fun carts for the kids to ride in. Thinking of these trips as outings, rather than a chance to get a lot of shopping done, helps me not get too frustrated when she's had enough and it's time to leave.
Tour a pet store. This is another fun destination, especially on a rainy day. Some of the big box pet stores are like mini-zoos, with birds, lizards, and hamsters in eye-level cages and walls of aquariums to wow your toddler. My friend's granddaughters love to look through the windows of the grooming salon to watch dogs of all sizes get their fur trimmed.
Here's a resource with more suggestions, some of which look curious, like squeezing wet sponges. But I'll give it a go during some long afternoon – and my granddaughter will probably love it!
Another way to help keep grandkids entertained without busting your budget is to scour children's resale shops and flea markets for games, toys, and books in good condition to keep at your house. Right now I'm collecting old hats, scarves, and purses for a dress-up box for my granddaughter when she's a little older.
I can always use more ideas. What do you like to do with your grandchildren? | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUf6U4eIZjf-0DrMe4 | She continues by warning that the biggest mistake that agents make is "developing your brand before you know your customer." In other words, if you're not clear on whom you are talking to, you will be trying to speak to everyone and reaching no one.
Your existing customer base (the people you're working with right now).
Your ideal customers (the people you will work with in the future).
Your evangelists and influencers (the people you've worked with in the past who help bring you ongoing success and connections).
When you answer these questions for your personal sphere of influence and past client list, you will have a snapshot of what you are already attracting. If you would like to upgrade the quality of the clients you attract, place your focus on your evangelists and influencers. Discover what they love about you and then expand on that.
The next four questions will help you to dig deeper into what matters most to your clients.
While you can start this process by brainstorming whatever comes to mind, it's important that you narrow this list down to 3-5 words that can help your customers understand your unique selling proposition more easily.
Unless you're working with investors, most people purchase based upon emotion rather than logic. This means that you are focusing on the benefits of purchasing the property (i.e., the emotional feelings) as opposed to the features such as the bedroom-bath count. When you market your listings based upon the benefits of owning a specific property, you're much more likely to achieve a sale.
The answer to this question will help you to target-market in a way that will produce the greatest results.
In addition to target marketing what matters most to your clients, it's equally important that you identify what makes you unique as compared to the other agents who serve your area. The secret is to match your strengths with the needs of the clients you attract. This is a powerful combination that produces the impressive results.
Once you have identified this information, Andreassen walks you through a detailed process of creating the postcards, landing pages and other tools you will need to launch your marketing campaign.
1. On Monday, do a direct mail campaign to the surrounding farming areas to catch the attention of potential customers in the area.
2. On Tuesday, post the offer on Craigslist to the geographic market you want to generate business in, focusing on some of the great features that will attract that demographic.
3. On Wednesday, promote it on Facebook with a call-to-action graphic and a link driving them back to registering for the offer. Use Facebook's target marketing tools reach the specific demographic that would qualify for this program.
4. On Thursday, post a quick video on YouTube talking about the challenges that new buyers face in putting together their down payment. At the end of the video, create a message and a clickable link that offers a special e-book that can help the person to achieve their goal of putting their down payment together more quickly.

BkiUdunxK3xgpbERDcma | Can you believe it's April already? For our April Dimensions by the Month, we are highlighting Emotional and Environmental Wellbeing. Much like the other dimensions, these are vast and multifaceted and we attempt to get at them from every angle.
This month we are co-sponsoring events like the Hope for the Hopeless Bike Ride, to raise awareness for suicide prevention, and Thriving Through Exams, with the Office of Personal and Career Development. To improve your students' Emotional and Environmental Wellbeing, we will be bringing puppies to campus once a week and providing study smart tools with various activities and prizes.
But how can you help? It's important that we provide you with valuable information too. In order to support Emotional Wellbeing, we thought it fitting to partner with the University Counseling Center. They've recently written up a helpful step by step guide on how to use the University Counseling Center services. College is an exciting and scary time with a lot of new and strong emotions, so it's important to keep conversation open with your students to help them build real emotional skills. The Washington Post has a great article on how and why college students need to build these skills.
Environmental Wellbeing is both your physical surroundings and ways to help the environment. An easy way to encourage your student's use of the environment is to take a walk! Reynolda Gardens is just a short (and beautiful!) walk away. Another element of Environmental Wellbeing is making sure that they have good sleep hygiene. Sleep hygiene is making sure that the environment in which your students sleep is actually helping them get a full nights' rest. This includes what and when they eat before they sleep, the amount of light and noise, and using their bed primarily for sleep.
Other on-campus resources include Hearn Plaza and the Office of Sustainability. Hearn Plaza is an outdoor game and recreation space with cafe tables and chairs is modeled after New York City's Bryant Park. The Office of Sustainability also has a variety of ways for students to get involved from becoming interns to taking part in their events and lectures.
There is a lot happening on campus all the time. Encourage your students to stay in touch with offices on their social media, listservs, and by checking events on the University calendar.
We hope this has been helpful in addressing the Emotional and Environmental needs of your Wake Forest students. If you have any suggestions or questions, please email them to thrive@nullwfu.edu. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdXc5qYVBeaTuDMz4 | All Strains of Flu Could Soon be a Memory
Chris Capps July 19, 2010
Last Updated on June 2, 2020 by
In short order every few years a new flu strain evolves that many say threatens to disrupt civilization as we know it. With super bug fears rising every year, some say the next superbug could be the one that finally mimics the Spanish flu and kills millions. Of course these diseases are often seen as nothing more than an inconvenience. But fear them or merely dislike them, a new vaccine may soon be available that removes the flu from our lives forever.
The logic of the vaccine is as follows: there are two largely recognizable parts of a flu virus, the head and the stem. In using an analogy comparing the flu virus to an ice-cream cone we can discover how the vaccine works. The head of the virus is similar to the ice cream contained in the cone. The flavors or genetic variations of the virus change from one generation to the next, making it difficult to predict what will be coming next. Meanwhile, despite the flavors of virus being different the cone is always the same, and rarely changes. This new vaccine will target the thing that makes all flu viruses similar by making the body produce antibodies that fight specifically against it.
Scientists for years have had difficulty combating the rapidly mutating flus partially because of how different they can be from year to year and even from month to month. When H1N1 first hit the US, 24 hour news coverage soon decreed that it could be a disaster of national proportions. In retrospect, many have come forward saying these reports were hasty while others contend that H1N1 was never more than a few mutations away from becoming a serious problem. And a mere five years earlier the Bird flu H5N1 was seen as a potential killer that could mutate into something quite deadly and cause the same level of devastation. If every five years a flu is going to come around that threatens civilization as we know it, then a universal flu vaccine is certainly a worthy endeavor.
And that vaccine may soon be developed thanks to the efforts of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and its director, Anthony S. Fauci. Fauci has found a way to create antibodies in animals that neutralize several different strains of the disease and provide protection that could last for ten years. Given that somewhere around 36,000 people in the US die annually of the common flu, this would be a milestone achievement. A single vaccine is expected to last for ten years, meaning up to 360,000 lives could be saved right away. And that's only taking into account deaths in the United States. Globally the disease claims up to 500,000 lives annually, meaning up to five million could be saved over one ten year period if the vaccine works. And this is just taking into consideration the standard flu. A super flu that could cause widespread devastation in a pandemic scenario could soon become a thing of the past.

BkiUc3vxK1yAgXBVEZTN | 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' Confirms Return Of Two More Classic Villains
Published 12:36, 28 October 2021 BST
| Last updated 12:36, 28 October 2021 BST
Peter Parker is going to have his work cut out for him when Spider-Man: No Way Home hits cinemas on December 17.
The trailer released earlier this year confirmed what many of us had long suspected: that Tom Holland's third (potentially final) outing in the MCU as Spider-Man will be a multiverse-spanning celebration of the character in which ol' webhead finds himself battling foes from previous lives.
Take a look at Spider-Man: No Way Home in action below!
The explosive trailer teased Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Green Goblin from the original Sam Raimi Spider-Man, and Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man 2. But we can now add two more classic villains to the already impressive party list: Lizard and Sandman.
An in-depth new feature on No Way Home in Empire Magazine confirms that Rhys Ifans' Lizard, who we last saw in The Amazing Spider-Man will make an appearance. Thomas Haden Church's Sandman, from the much-maligned Spider-Man 3, will also return to menace our hero.
This might not come as a major surprise, especially for those of us who have painstakingly gone over the movie's trailer frame-by-frame over the last few months. There's one moment in which we see Spidey swinging away from a large monster which many of us assumed to be Sandman. A shadowy figure who lunges out of the darkness towards Peter towards the end of the trailer was also fairly swiftly identified as Lizard.
Given that Tom Holland's Spider-Man is battling foes from past movies, fans are becoming increasingly certain this means he'll also cross paths with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's versions of the iconic superhero. Of course both actors have vehemently denied they're in the movie multiple times at this point, so we'll just have to wait and see. I certainly wouldn't bet against them showing up, though.

The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, The excellence of Carmel and Sharon. Designing with nature now means the same thing Ian had in mind when he spoke of putting "together again the entire system." We must deploy design intelligence with powerful new analytical tools to creatively recover pieces of regional landscape systems left in the wake of short term economic schema, political indecision, ad hoc development, a negligent public, and flawed environmental policy.

Description of the book "Farming the Woods: An Integrated Permaculture Approach to Growing Food and Medicinals in Temperate Forests": In the eyes of many people, the practices of forestry and farming are mutually exclusive, because in the modern world, agriculture involves open fields, straight rows, and machinery to grow crops, while forests are primarily reserved for timber and firewood.
The loss of streamside forests is one of the major causes of worsening water quality in the U.S. Over the past few decades, many new homes have been built in the southern Appalachian Mountains, and this growth will probably continue.
Many of these new homes are in areas that were once small farms or scattered houses. Agroforestry is a land use management system in which trees or shrubs are grown around or among crops or pastureland. This intentional combination of agriculture and forestry has varied benefits, including increased biodiversity and reduced erosion.

BkiUbdo5qhLACDOs82Uu | Christmas lists are one of those things that I always forget to do each year or at least don't do that well, as I know most of the things I want most of my friends and loved ones don't have a clue what they are all about (you want top search engine rankings, gift certificate to Google Adwords, and a new blog...what???). I know I have to be real, and a new service from Froogle was fun to find today to help make it easy for them. With the holidays upon us, it probably a good time to get something together to just to make sure you don't get a bread maker, or bag of rocks this year, or even worse socks.
This comes way for the Google Blog, and it appears some of the engineers over there decided to solve a long time problem of developing Christmas wish list the Google way...create one with Froogle that can be searched, created, and shared with many people.
Want one of your own? Just go to Froogle, search for a few things from thousands of online merchants, and click 'Add to list' for any item you want to add to your Shopping List. You'll need to sign in to your Google account or create one if you haven't already (if you have a Gmail account or Groups 2 login, you already have a Google account). If you want to share items, just click the 'In Wish List' checkbox and whammo, you now have a web page of your holiday wish list to share with friends and family.

BkiUcmzxK0iCl2n1_FxI | "Spun" was an antidote to the driest of eyes. It was the story of Judi (nee Rothenberg) and Dominic LoPresti, two ex-junkies who had cleaned up, relapsed, cleaned up again and against the longest of odds, met, fell in love, and in the least likely of all turns, stayed clean, married and opened a bike shop. Steve Friedman's feature about the two was as raw as their past and ran in Bicycling Magazine in 2015.
Cycling became a central feature of Judi and Dominic's relationship, so much so that they married at Interbike in 2013. When Selene learned of the demise of Interbike she decided to get in touch with Judi to get her impressions on the event's demise and take a little deeper dive on her story. Actually, its a very deep dive. She shares some very interesting insights on the relationship between endurance sports and addiction.
I have Facebook friends in Boulder, Colorado, who belong to Phoenix, a cycling-based group for recovering alcoholics and addicts. It appears to be a remarkably inspiring program.
There are a few of those. It seems to be a really great outlet and community.
Patrick,one of the top 5 things you have done on RKP is to bring Selene on.
I know, right?! I'm soooooo lucky to get to work with her each week. If you all had any idea how great the Skype calls are when we record—oh, wait, you hear the podcast—but seriously, there's a lot in the calls that doesn't make it to the podcast and she is just so awesome. Thanks for the vote of confidence you all.
+1 about adding Selene to RKP.
OK, I am an absolute sucker for stories about people who a) change their lives for the better, and b) do it thru cycling.
When I subscribed to "Bicycling" mag, they had stories like this, and you had to be really proud of those people for radically changing their lives thru cycling. I read stories about obscenely fat people, mentally handicapped people, substance abusers, PTSD sufferers – the list goes on. They had lots going against them, yet somehow, they managed to fight thru it and riding played an important part in it.
In my own very little way, cycling is definitely a form of therapy. Just getting out on the bike helps me keep life in balance, it keeps things in perspective, and I simply feel better once I've been out. It's my happy place.
I wish these guys continued success in their battles.
I'm right there with you my friend!

I smelled the odourless cling of disinfectant as soon as I entered the airport car park. I could always smell it but here it was more pronounced, the airport being one of the last places where any congregation of people could happen. Perhaps they needn't have worried. There were no congregations. No people.
It was the first time that I leave the house after sunset in months. What used to be a hustling congested Hawalli was deserted – perhaps one car. The Fahaheel highway way too, save for two or three cars being checked at a police checkpoint. Another two parked on the side with policemen at their windows. Out after curfew without permission. It would be the first of three checkpoints blocking highways on my 1 am airport run.
Along the Fifth I counted three lorries and four cars then a few more cars on the Airport Road, perhaps six or eight, either on their way to or returning from the airport.
It's a road I used to drive daily on my commute to work and back. Busy at five in the morning and congested all day till midnight. Today I almost didn't touch the breaks the entire way.
Even for one in the morning, this was eerily quiet. Kuwait has a big culture of going out late into the night, 24 hour coffee shops, malls, and restaurants abound. It also has a big culture of driving around at all hours, what with petrol being cheaper that water and days hotter that 45C.
There was one car dropping off passengers at the departure terminal. There were six or eight people in evidence – the driver of the car unloading the bags for his two passengers, one policeman, three men in high visibility vests with airport markings, and the two of us.
Make that nine people.
The eerie calm carried into the airport terminal. As I waited with the bags for dinars to be exchanged into Euro by a lone, masked money changer in a cluster of five or six closed exchange shops, I noted the departure screen – the TV types that are dotted around – not the main big one.
I'd never seen blanks on them before. You normally have to wait for the screen to turn over several times indicating departure over the next four to six hours. Now there was one forlorn screen, switching between Arabic and English, with two or three blank spaces.
The flights were almost all to Egypt and India. Repatriation flights for foreign workers in Kuwait. There's been a big drive and an amnesty allowing residency violators to leave. Also many people who no longer had any business in Kuwait after the economy shut down. Lost jobs, lost incomes, and broken dreams in a world turned on it's head.
A short list of departing flights can tell you a story like that.
Two of the eight flights listed were marked VRG and GAY. I assumed these were special flights of sorts, perhaps empty departures, or other special purpose flights. I tried to work out the acronyms but not with any degree of enthusiasm.
Several times tears threatened to well out of my eyes, not just at my own predicament, it seems, but perhaps at the what the world has become.
Eight departing flights in 24 hours, two with special markings.
Ours was the Doha flight. I say ours but I wasn't leaving.
My companion was. My last friend and romance, and the first person I'd heard myself propose to. My friend, my lover, my companion, my margin of comfort, confidence, and error for the last four years was to board that flight and I may never see her again.
Be safe.

BkiUazHxK6wB9k0iJVu1 | Ai Weiwei Collabs With Toy Designer To Create Giant Nude Sculptures
Emma Hutchings
The Chinese artist has partnered with Eric So for a group of rounded caricatures that reference his naked portrait series that was banned by the Chinese government.
Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei collaborated with the Hong Kong-based toy designer Eric So for a line of sculptures that look like rounded rubber toys. If the figures in the series, titled 'Aibudao' (which means 'Unlovable' in Chinese), look familiar it's because they are caricatures of the artist.
The nude figures with spiky hair are colored in red, brown, and black. They were created as a reference to Weiwei's nude portrait series, which the Chinese government criticized and dismissed as pornography.

BkiUfsXxK6EuNCwyxkPh | Royal necropolis of the New Kingdom, situated on the west bank of the Nile opposite Thebes. There are in fact two connected valleys, of which the eastern is the more important. The royal tombs from the 18th to 20th Dynasties are located here, as well as a few tombs of non-royal persons. The other valley, the western, contains four tombs. A total of 62 tombs have been given an official number, and there are at least three unnumbered tombs. Not all the numbered tombs belong to kings, some of them were constructed for members of the royal family, such as the one rediscovered in the mid 1990s, number 5, belonging to the sons of Ramesses II. There are also some tombs belonging to high officials, such as that of the vizier Amenemopet (Tomb 48). The oldest tomb is possibly that attributed to Tuthmosis I (Tomb 38), although some people think that the anonymous tomb 39 belonged to Amenhotep I. The most recent tomb is that of Ramesses XI. The tombs all consist of one or more chambers connected by corridors, carved out of the rock. The original idea was to seal the tomb after the dead king had been buried and hide the entrance under rubble. In this way it was hoped that tomb robbery would be avoided. The result was that the royal mortuary temples were no longer linked to the tomb, but were situated far away, on the edge of the desert. The architecture of the tombs shows a clear development. The oldest tombs, for example, have a corridor that turns at an angle of 90 ( and a burial chamber shaped like a cartouche. The funerary texts on the walls are usually from the Amduat. Later tombs consist of a sequence of chambers with one or more straight corridors linking them. The first tomb of this design was the royal tomb of Akhenaten at El-`Amarna. The oldest tombs in the Valley of the Kings built in this fashion are those of Ay and Horemheb. The Book of Gates appears for the first time on the walls of Horemheb's tomb. In later tombs, other funerary texts and representations may be found as well. Further, several tombs have an astronomical ceiling. The best known tomb from the Valley of the Kings is probably that of Tutankhamun, although it is very small. It was probably not intended for the king but for a high official (Ay?), but after the sudden death of Tutankhamun it was prepared for him. It is assumed that the tomb originally intended for Tutankhamun was Tomb 23, later used by Ay. In the 21st Dynasty, when tomb robbers were regularly plundering the tombs, some of the kings buried here were taken from their tombs by priests and reburied together in a cache near Deir el-Bahari and in the tomb of Amenhotep II. They were only rediscovered at the end of the nineteenth century. | commoncrawl | 4 | 3 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUfQTxK0wg0_75ApJs | hahah nice, stray roach. what a cutie! you have inspired us to do a floor bed for our 1 year old once he has his own room, what a great idea.
Holy cow, Miloh is the CUTEST BABY EVER! Also, you don't sound how I'd expected at all!
Dang roaches, being all stray and stuff! LMAO!
Roaches? Dude, that's nothing. ;) Check out the dead rat post on Becoming Sarah. So did you always realize Miloh may be right by the door or was there that morning that you opened it and...clunk. $#%@! LOL. By the way he is super cute.
I expected to see two roaches. Very cute. Miloh, not so much the roaches.
For anyone who has questions on floor bed, please let me know. Kenny does a great job of explaining it and I am always there to help with set up for new parents.
I have to admit waking up to the sound of Miloh playing on his own, giggling and babbling is amazing. Then when he hears that we are up, he goes to the door and knocks. It is wonderful. And when the door opens, the smile is like no other. It makes for the best way to wake up. Even as we get used to early mornings with our darling.
PS we would never have roaches. I will make damn sure of it.
He's so nonchalant about chillin in the entryway. Love the idea of a floor bed... it'd probably help my kid to quit losing limbs in crib bars. But we have lots of roaches around our house so we'd better not.
Following you on twitter now. I'm a new tweeter.
He is so stinkin' cute. He and Nellie take the same pacis, except Nellie's are pink. Naturally.
Thank goodness the roach didn't fall on his head. Whew!
I'm really thankful that I bumped into your blog when I did. We have a 6-month old who finally out grew her Moses basket. (I think you guys call it a layette?) We've moved her onto a floor bed in our room (she isn't sleeping through the night yet). Once she's more or less making it the full night we'll move her into her brother's room (they'll be sharing). I love the idea of the floor bed and so far things are going great. An added bonus is that our house is tiny (as they all are over here) and so the idea of having a bed AND a crib in the 2nd bedroom meant there would be no floor space. So the unexpected benefit of having a floor bed in there means that it will be an area both kids can play on, instead of a big box taking up space.
Thanks for being brave and taking all the sh!t from people.
I love me some Miloh. This is hilarious. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 |
BkiUchrxK6wB9dbuTI0h | I felt naked. Leaving a twenty-year career in public relations and moving from Atlanta to Asheville, North Carolina, I left behind everything I thought I was. Stripped of all titles, I felt exposed like the fabled emperor with no clothes.
No longer a partner with Fleishman-Hillard International Communications and general manager of its Southeastern office, no longer a civic leader serving on some of the city's most prestigious art boards, I was now just Randy Siegel. But who was that? I wasn't sure.
Discomfort led to introspection, and introspection to insight. A new life purpose and profession emerged: helping professionals stand in their power by becoming the full expression of all they are. The cornerstone of my work became a proprietary process I developed that facilitated self-discovery, which is essential for clarifying personal perspective, true purpose, and professional image.
While I was passionate about my new profession, something was missing; my creative, right-brained self was not being fed. I began to rediscover art. I had drawn in high school where my realistic pencil portraits received some attention. I even enrolled in the University of Georgia's art school but soon transferred to the business school to pursue a "more practical" degree.
Over the past years, I've studied art at the Instituto Allende (San Miguel, Mexico), Naropa University, A-B Tech, 310 Art, and the Ringling School of Art. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
