BkiUetrxK7IAD7XMJ6ec | Mergers, telehealth, and more top threats facing primary care doctors
Traditional primary care doctors are becoming "scarce" amid the emergence of urgent care centers and retail clinics, as well as proliferating mergers between health care providers, Reed Abelson and Julie Creswell write for the New York Times.
Get ready-to-use slides on the latest health care trends in 2018
According to a Health Care Cost Institute analysis of health insurance data released earlier this year, office visits to primary care doctors decreased by 18% from 2012 to 2016, even as specialist visits increased.
Among the pressures: The convenience of urgent care
According to the Times, some U.S. residents find it easier to seek care at an urgent care center than at a primary care provider. According to the consulting firm Merchant Medicine, there are about 12,000 urgent care centers in the United States.
New: Get the answers to your urgent care questions
Matt Feit, a screenwriter in Los Angeles who visited an urgent care center eight times in 2017, said, "You call the doctor's office to book an appointment. They're only open Monday through Friday from these hours to those hours, and, generally, they're not the hours I'm free or I have to take time off from my job." He continued, "I can go just about anytime to urgent care, and my co-pay is exactly the same as if I went to my primary doctor."
Mergers, acquisitions create further pressures
Increasing mergers in the health care industry also are putting pressure on smaller physician practices. The Times reports that potential deals between Walmart and health insurer Humana, as well as between CVS Health and health insurer Aetna, further threaten existing primary care providers by potentially capturing the patient populations enrolled in health plans sold by the insurers.
Michael Munger, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians, said, "With all of these deals, there is so much we don't know." For example, he asked, "Are Aetna patients going to be mandated to go to a CVS MinuteClinic?"
At the same time, UnitedHealth Group has ramped up its primary care offerings. The company employs more than 30,000 physicians and runs MedExpress, a chain of standalone surgery and urgent care centers. (Daily Briefing is published by Advisory Board, a division of Optum, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group. UnitedHealth Group separately owns UnitedHealthcare.)
In addition, hospital groups increasingly are purchasing physician practices. According to the Times, hospital groups employed 43% of primary care doctors in the United States in 2016, compared with 23% in 2010. Hospital groups also are opening their own urgent care facilities. Jeffrey Le Benger—CEO of Summit Medical Group, a large independent physician group in New Jersey—said, "There is huge consolidation in the market right now," adding, "Everyone is fighting for the primary care patient."
A push toward telemedicine, as well as companies looking to open their own clinics to treat their employees, also have threatened traditional primary care practices, the Times reports.
Are urgent care centers actually a good primary care solution?
But some observers have raised concerns about the quality of care U.S. residents are receiving at urgent care facilities and retail clinics and questioned whether such centers reduce health care costs.
For instance, Susan Kressly—a pediatrician in Warrington, Pennsylvania—said she found that some of her patients had received inappropriate care at retail clinics and urgent care centers. "Some of the patients with coughs were being treated with codeine-based medicines, which is not appropriate at all for this age group," she said.
Learn how progressive organizations are "retailizing" their service lines
Separately, Mark Werner—a consultant for the Chartis Group, which advises medical practices—said, "None of the research has shown any of these approaches to delivering care has meaningfully addressed cost."
But Ateev Mehrotra, an associate professor of health care policy and medicine at Harvard Medical School who has researched the retail clinics, pushed back on these concerns, saying, "The quality of care that you see at a retail clinic is equal or superior to what we see in a doctor's office or emergency department."
How traditional primary care practices are responding
Nevertheless, some primary care doctors have changed their practices in an effort to compete with new urgent care and retail clinics.
For instance, Carl Olden—a primary care physician in Yakima, Washington—and his partners three years ago set up a clinic similar to an urgent care facility across the street from their primary care office. The practice was able to keep its patients and access their electronic health records for visits at the urgent care facility, Olden said. He added, "And we've had some folks come into the clinics who don't have their own primary care physicians. So we've been able to move them into our practice."
In Malvern, Arkansas, Shawn Purifoy, who practices family medicine, has employed nurse practitioners to help his practice offer more same-day appointments. In addition, Purifoy has partnered with two other practices to help cover off-hour emergencies.
Purifoy stressed that fostering long-term relationships with patients and continuity of care is vital. "It takes a long time to gain the trust of the patient," he said, adding, "It's not something I can do in a minute." Purifoy said, "You're never going to get that at a MedExpress" (Abelson/Creswell, New York Times, 4/7).

BkiUcrw4uzlhYyxW3DZA | Last February the Volley Team took only 48 hours to cover the Yukon Artic Ultra 2015, the off-road race within the snow-covered forests and the slides of Canada that can be ridden by bike, cross-country sky or, as Roberto and Laura, by foot.
100 miles corresponding to 160 kilometers.
90 participants, more than half of withdrawals.
48 Celsius degrees under zero, with peaks of -50 °C.
20 the kilos of pulka, the sleight in which the runners kept the bare minimum.
We could have tried to describe what does it mean to participate in the Yucon Artic Ultra and we can only imagine the joy of completing a physical and mental path which lasted more than one year, training and race included.
We could have tried, but I think it is better to be told about it by Roberto and Laura, by those who personally experienced the feelings and emotions that such a challenge can give.
In this tale, the Extreme Crew's athletes give an important review by which they give confirmation of the reliability of the solar panel and of Tregoo power stations and highlight the technical features that caused them some issues.
Their indications are fundamental, since they will help the R&D dep to improve the Tregoo products.
Someone think we are mad, someone believe we are heroes. We are neither of them.
We tried to pursue a dream and we managed to do that, aware of what we wanted to accomplish.We were aware of our limits, we very rationally knew where we could arrive.
We allow ourselves the luxury to love nature, with its amazing beauty, its troubles, its sensations, its cycles and its hard and fast laws. The wild environment and the cold of Yukon are stronger than us and they could have "swept us away" in the blink of an eye.
We knew the importance of respect.
[...] We'll keep the unforgettable memory of the nights spent in the woods of Yukon, of the stars that we could not see, since our eyelids were frozen by the grip of frost, of the absolute silence broken only by the noise of the snow under our feet. Very strong feelings.
Anyway we are not always able to admit that behind the goals we achieve, there is the support and the participation of many people and that is why we cannot forget those who supported us both in moral and economical terms, providing us with the technical equipment for this adventure.
And it is also thanks to them if we have achieved a significant competitive score. We won in the "100 miles Team" category and in the "100 miles Women" category and above all we have been among the only 35 participants (over about 90 people who started) to complete the race, since the extreme temperatures of the second coldest edition caused many people to freeze both at the checkpoint s and in the course of the path.
Tregoo (represented by Mr. Luca Martino), who gave us his technological support by providing us with the Power Station Tregoo 10-50 portable solar kit and two Power Packs Lizard 50, fundamental to recharge the batteries of our GPS and of the frontal batteries. We sorely tried both the solar panel and the power banks which have been exposed for long hours to very extreme temperatures (-48 degrees).
Faced with such temperatures, the standard batteries provided with the different electronic devices, such as GPS, frontal battery, camera and video camera, had only few minutes of "autonomy" , and therefore it was impossible to think of facing such an adventure under these conditions. The GPS censure us that we were following the correct direction and made us able to report our location on the map. The frontal batteries, due to the few hours of light during the arctic day, allowed us to safely walk during at night.
The extreme temperatures have not had the slightest impact on the stock of our Lizard 50 Power Packs.
We encountered only to minor issues under such extreme conditions, that faced us with some difficulties. The first one is related to the location of the USB port on the solar panel. In fact, it is very difficult to enter the cable with the device to be recharged wearing some gloves. It is necessary to remove one's gloves, but the time before your hands begin to freeze is only 15"/20".
The second problem was caused by the aluminum case of the power banks: if you handle the aluminum device at such temperatures you risk to have a burn caused by cold.
Towards the Yukon Artic Ultra 2017!
Before the departure from Whitehorse to come back home, we spoke about when we would have came back, with our minds towards the 2017 edition, for an even more enduring challenge, the 300 miles race.
It will be an opportunity to challenge ourselves again, to improve and to grow… but we are aware that the emotions must be shared and that every path offers us the opportunity for a constructive confrontation with others. That is why we would like to relate our participation in the Yucon Artic Ultra 2017 to a project of funds raising, to help other people or animals to make a little dream come true. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUef3xK3YB9raX1zb4 | Nassim Taleb has released a technical note for Antifragile on his Facebook Page: Why the One Percent of the One Percent benefit from inequality more than general prosperity: A Note for AntiFragile.
The one percent of the one percent of the population is vastly more sensitive to inequality than total GDP growth (which explains why the superrich are doing well now, and should do better under globalization, and why it is a segment that doesn't correlate well with the economy). For the super-rich, one point of GINI causes an increase equivalent to 6-10% increase in total income (say, GDP). More generally, the partial expectation in the tail is vastly more sensitive to changes in scale of the distribution than in its centering.
Sellers of luxury goods and products for the superwealthy profit from dispersion more than increase in total wealth or income. I looked at their case as a long optionality, benefit-from-volatility type of industry.
Another business that does not care about the average but rather the dispersion around the average is the luxury goods industry—jewelry, watches, art, expensive apartments in fancy locations, expensive collec – tor wines, gourmet farm – raised probiotic dog food, etc. Such businesses only cares about the pool of funds available to the very rich. If the population in the Western world had an average income of fifty thousand dollars, with no inequality at all, the luxury goods sellers would not survive. But if the average stays the same, with a high degree of inequality, with some incomes higher than two million dollars, and potentially some incomes higher than ten million, then the business has plenty of customers—even if such high incomes were offset with masses of people with lower incomes. The "tails" of the distribution on the higher end of the income brackets, the extreme, are much more determined by changes in inequality than changes in the average. It gains from dispersion, hence is antifragile.
This explains the bubble in real estate prices in Central London, determined by inequality in Russia and the Arabian Gulf and totally independent of the real estate dynamics in Britain. Some apartments, those for the very rich, sell for twenty times the average per square foot of a building a few blocks away.
Harvard' s former president Larry Summers got in trouble explaining a version of the point and lost his job in the aftermath of the uproar. He was trying to say that males and females have equal intelligence, but the male population has more variations and dispersion (hence volatility), with more highly unintelligent men, and more highly intelligent ones. For Summers, this explained why men were overrepresented in the sci – entific and intellectual community (and also why men were overrepre – sented in jails or failures). The number of successful scientists depends on the "tails," the extremes, rather than the average. Just as an option does not care about the adverse outcomes, or an author does not care about the haters. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 |

With the election behind us and a new legislature poised to begin in Juneau including some new faces, let's watch closely to see who follows their convictions versus the do-nothings who kick back and take the easy route. Will principled people step forward and demonstrate leadership or will the spineless, Captain Zero's of the political world once again rule?
Upon my initial election to the state house nearly a quarter-century ago as a young man in my mid-30's, my attitude was "I don't care what the leftwing press or my conservative-hating opponents think, I'm going to follow through on my promises. If I rock the boat and upset people so much that it costs me reelection, so be it as I'm in office to do what I pledged on the campaign trail, not forge a long-term political career."
This mindset actually made my job easier, because I wasn't constantly worried about winning support of future voters or collecting campaign dollars by licking my fingers and sticking my hand above my head to see which way the political winds were blowing.
I respect and admire those with courage to stand for what they believe in without regard to the consequences. I think of the Reverend Franklin Graham, a hero among Republicans who made the unpopular decision to leave the party in 2015 over dismay with its liberal bent. Graham was reportedly disgusted over wasteful spending by Congress including its failure to block federal funds from being channeled to Planned Parenthood for killing the unborn.
I myself bid the Republican Party adieu five years ago by switching my voter registration to the Alaska Independence Party. I agree with most of the Republican platform but disagree with the yellow-striped good ol' boy RINO's that dominate the legislature, who've placed us on a progressive trajectory that's spending us into oblivion and allowing government to grow unchecked.
There's no reason why a tighter ship can't be achieved while simultaneously fully funding core essentials. Yes to roads, schools and public safety. No to the frivolous such as government funding of the arts, TV and radio to name a few. During my first year at the capitol, the state operating budget was a fraction of what it is today, growing in leaps and bounds with much waste and mostly on the Republicans watch. Alaska now spends more than any other state per capita by far.
As with Franklin Graham, I was so dismayed with my fellow Republicans in the legislature, the self-proclaimed "conservatives," that I contemplated bolting from the party as early as 1995, only two months into my first term of office. It didn't take long to see that few in the legislature were serious about reining in government as they enjoyed feeding out of the big money trough too much. There were a surprising number of colleagues who clearly were Democrats by philosophy, but ran as Republicans out of political convenience. Sound familiar?
A group led by left-leaning Republicans joined Democrats to form a group called the "Fiscal Policy Caucus," whose primary objective was to spend the Permanent Fund on government and put in place a statewide income tax to keep the bureaucracy fat and happy and flush with cash. State Representative, abortion advocate and NRA D-rated Lisa Murkowski, now U.S. Senator and pretend Republican, was their leader and champion. Fortunately, the rest of us derailed her efforts.
During my second reelection campaign in 1998 when my frustration again reached a crescendo, I nearly switched my voter registration to "Independent" from Republican. Then in 1999, I finally had it. I resigned out of protest from the Republican-led coalition to contest a lack of serious effort to reform government.
Murkowski was a major critic of mine and fought to keep me from joining the coalition the following year when we reorganized. As a genuine, proactive conservative, I was an uncomfortable thorn in her side. A month later, Lisa was appointed to the U.S. Senate by her father, so she was gone and out of the picture.
Each election cycle, we are given the usual lip service by candidates. Most Republicans tout, "I'm a conservative and believe in less spending, promoting a strong private-sector and focusing on the essentials of roads and schools." It sounds good and gets them elected, but when they're in office, very little change, if any, occurs. Government remains as bloated, wasteful and inefficient as before like a giant alligator gobbling up public dollars.
Perhaps for once, we'll see more courage and conviction when the new legislature gathers in January. We can only hope. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 4 | 3 |

Release Date: April 24th, 2012
Record Label: Suburban Noize
Official Website: Mickey Avalon Website
Mickey Avalon's life story plays out like an episode of VH1's "Behind The Music" marred by personal tragedy, triumphs & immense pain. Using his life experiences as fuel for his intense rhymes, Mickey Avalon is now inviting listeners to step into his world of debauchery with the release of his sophmore studio album, Loaded.
Avalon has toured sold out shows alongside Red Hot Chili Peppers, Travis Barker & DJ AM, Snoop Dogg, Stephen Marley & Slightly Stoopid. The new album Loaded features guest appearances by Scott Russo of Unwritten Law on the albums lead single "Girlfriend". Other appearances include Cisco Adler & Andre Legacy.
With an album titled, Loaded, I guess its no surprise that most of the songs felt like they were produced after snorting lines of cocaine before throwing back a handful of random pills to help spit the hip hop verses over. The album is full of club like beats mixed with distortion rock making way for Avalon's nonchalant vocal delivery Loaded with self-fulfilling lyrics praising his own impression that he leaves on other drug induced party goers.
With track #3 "On The…", Avalon confesses "Cocaine helps me face the day and then the pills wash the pain away"…I feel like that's the best way to describe the approach of this album. Even with the addition of Scott Russo from Unwritten Law, the album lacks musicianship and general likability. A lot of the musicianship is over produced around programmed beats with sound effects & excessive use of overdubs on the vocals.
While I see it finding a niche with the avid party goers & drug users, I see it falling flat, not just in the Reggae-Rock community, but with the general audience. Sure it makes for good backdrop music in a edgy movie or TV show, but is there a song strong enough to leave a lasting impression? Probably not.
The album has 18 songs, none of them timeless as much as they are gimmicky with a shelf-life that lasts as long as the drug trip you're on. In other words, you may out grow this album & minus the drugs, the album might appear to be obnoxious & adolescent. I just feel with an 18 track album, there was opportunity to bring a more diverse & original approach to leave an impression with.
I'm not saying, don't do the gimmicky songs about drugs & partying, but maybe mix it up with a few songs a general audience can relate to. I suppose the overall content just lacks balance, but the album title is called Loaded, so again, what can I expect?
Some of the songs, such as "On The…", "CA Crack Cocaine", "Mickey's Girl" or leading single "Girlfriend", featuring Scott Russo, have great background music potential, but nothing memorable or timeless. I guess if you want to get partial credit & a few laughs from your friends for playing a punch-line heavy song, then you have your options with "Mr Brownstone", "Drugs" or "Party In My Pants".
But with 1 too many self-fulfilling punch-lines, minimal musicianship & enough drug references to catch a contact high off of, I in no way found myself connecting with the album. I walked away feeling more hungover than Loaded and I'm not saying Mickey Avalon isn't talented, I just personally wouldn't buy the album.

BkiUdNDxK02iP5rWKh7l | In Support of Proposition 2
6 October 2008, at 7:17am
CALIFORNIA - One local newspaper explains why it is supporting the forthcoming ballot on Proposition 2 regarding the welfare of farm animals.
San Gabriel Valley Tribune writes that, tO the extent that they hve been paying attention to one of the more obscure measures on California's Nov. 4 ballot - Proposition 2, Standards for Confining Farm Animals [Prop. 2] - practical Californians have been mostly pooh-poohing it.
They count themselves among the 'sometimes ordinary sceptics' when it comes to so many laws and initiatives proposed in recent years.
They say this is yet another feel-good law in search of a real problem. While it addresses cage space for hogs and for young cattle being bred for veal, they had been told that there were essentially no veal crates or so called sow-gestation cages in California - that all that agriculture takes place in the Midwest.
And so far as the battery cages for the million of egg-laying chickens in California that Proposition 2 is mainly set up to address - well, say poultry industry types, it is true that 'birds of a feather flock together'. They ... like the confinement, hundreds of thousands of birds in cages of eight, each with no room to move. As to whether the chickens like having each of their beaks cut off, which must be done so that they don't kill each other while being caged so closely for life - well, the industry or the avian pathologists supported by it at the University of California do not address that one.
But it turns out that there are indeed large hog farms in California - one up north has at least 9,000 sows in cages with no room for the mother pigs to move, and that sounds like a lot of pigs to us, continues the report.
They learned some of these facts from Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States, sponsor of Proposition 2. When he came into the newspaper offices recently, he reminded the journalists that the Humane Society was the same outfit that sent the worker with the hidden camera into that Chino slaughterhouse earlier this year, exposing such horrific abuses that the USDA had to close down the entire company.
Mr Pacelle notes that the move toward cage-free, free-range and organic poultry farms is not the province of just a few carriage-trade stores anymore - mainstream markets and restaurant chains are already heading in that direction, some of them entirely so.
The entire European Union has recently banned battery cages - and that covers a lot of egg production in its 27 countries. "We just believe that animals born to move should be able to move," Mr Pacelle said. He noted that this same industry already produces 90 per cent of its broiler birds in cage-free environments - for the practical reason that consumers would not purchase the bruised chicken meat that results from confinement.
So the journalists write that they have come around to Pacelle's and the Humane Society's side. They say Proposition 2 is not asking for the moon and the stars, and that The Society's 10 million members are not a bunch of radical vegans.
They conclude that Proposition 2 would bring to agriculture in our state, in the reasonable time frame of before 2015: The requirement that farmers pen egg-laying hens, veal and pregnant pigs in ways that allow the animals to lie down, stand up, fully extend their limbs and turn around freely.
That's a simple, good thing for California, and San Gabriel Valley Tribune recommends a 'yes' vote on Proposition 2, the article concludes. | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUdw85qWTBIrGEFC3L | Constantly putting off dealing with a situation that must be solved, by avoiding or delaying a difficult conversation, can undermine your workplace environment. Unwanted behaviours may perpetuate over time, solidifying attitudes, infecting other co-workers and turning a conversation that could be easy at first into an increasingly more difficult one.
After greeting and establishing a rapport with the other person, approach the matter outright at the beginning of the conversation, in order for the conversation to proceed with a good atmosphere.
Do not beat around the bush and do not be hasty. Lay out the facts or the situation you want to clarify. Do not be judgemental.
This communication style is more open and less threatening.
Treat the other person like they wish to be treated.
There is an old adage that says we should treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves. But people are not all the same, and not all communication styles suit all people. What is important to you may not be important to the other person, and similarly, details you do not consider important may be crucial to the other person. Keep in mind who is in front of you, and try to figure out what communication style is most effective with them. Treat them like they would wish to be treated.
Emotion prevails during a difficult conversation.
The other party may be, or think that they are, right and should, therefore, be able to state their point of view. Do not assume you are 100% right in your beliefs or that the other person is 100% wrong. Even if you disagree with what is being said, instead of immediately denying it, ask questions so to force the other party to reflect and give you time to formulate suitable answers.
When in disagreement, you should be prepared to listen, ask clarifying questions and, only after, should you worry about speaking.
You do not need to talk too much, it is even more important to listen so you are able to understand and deconstruct the other party's point of view. Show you are paying attention to what is being said and encourage the other party to develop their thoughts. Ask open-ended questions that cannot be answered with "yes" or "no". Check if both of you are understanding each other by rephrasing what was said so each party can validate it.
Above all, do not avoid difficult conversations just because you anticipate they may be unpleasant. Expect the best possible scenario, but prepare for the worst. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUdx3xaKPQosiZm4Sh | Coronavirus: South Korea tightens border checks as domestic transmission abates

https://str.sg/Jfou
SEOUL (REUTERS) - South Korea said on Tuesday (March 17) it plans to tighten border checks for all arrivals from overseas to prevent new cases of the coronavirus coming into the country at a time when domestically transmitted infections are subsiding.
The stricter checks for all arrivals will start on Thursday and come as China also stepped up monitoring of foreign travellers, in the latest sign of the pandemic's shifting centre of gravity from Asia to Europe.
"We've assessed that there's a need for universal special entry procedures for all arrivals, given rapid increases in new cases not only in Europe but also in the United States and Asia in the wake of the pandemic," Vice Health Minister Kim Gang-lip told a briefing.
The Korea Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) reported 84 new coronavirus cases as of Tuesday. It was the third day in a row that the county has reported fewer than 100 new infections, raising hopes that Asia's largest outbreak outside China may be easing.
The new numbers are well below a Feb 29 peak of 909, and bring the country's total infections to 8,320, the KCDC said. The death toll rose by two to 81.
There are 55 cases involving infected travellers, including eight foreign nationals, up from 44 recorded on Sunday. The other 47 are South Koreans, 27 of whom came from Europe, as well as 16 from China and another 12 from other Asian countries, KCDC deputy director Kwon Jun-wook said.
Seoul has already imposed strict border checks on visitors from China, Italy and Iran, requiring them to sign up by a smartphone application to track whether they have any symptoms such as fever.
Asked whether the government was considering closing borders, Kwon said the current efforts make a "very rational and reasonable policy for the time being." "It is much more important to stick to our fundamental efforts to find, quarantine and treat patients and examining links of infections," he told reporters.
SMALLER CLUSTERS
President Moon Jae-in has said he was increasingly confident South Korea would overcome the virus as the rate of new cases continued to drop.
Another 264 patients were released on Tuesday from hospitals where they had been isolated for treatment, bringing the total to 1,401, the KCDC said.
South Korea reported more recoveries than new infections on Friday for the first time since its outbreak emerged in January.
Testing and treatment of patients is nearing completion in the hardest-hit city of Daegu, home to a fringe Christian church that was at the centre of the outbreak in South Korea.
But authorities renewed warnings against clusters that continue to emerge, especially in the greater Seoul area.
The education ministry on Tuesday postponed the beginning of all schools' new semester by another two weeks to April 6, citing concerns about infections in smaller clusters.
At least 134 cases have been linked to a Seoul-based call centre whose 800-strong workforce is being tested or in quarantine.
In Seongnam, south of Seoul, 47 members of a Protestant church have tested positive, including the pastor, who attended services twice early this month despite government calls to cancel mass gatherings.
The vice health minister said people at the church had even rinsed their mouths using the same salt water sprayer in an ill-advised effort to disinfect themselves.
"That is an example of how misinformation could raise the risks of infection," he said. "Once again, we're requesting the citizens to refrain from attending gatherings in enclosed space as much as possible." | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUfj7xK7FjYCv2UKBc | The Book of Mormon, ladies and gentlemen, is the best book on the planet.
A week full of service, study, and an investigator with a satanist boyfriend.
Yup, Janeth (awesome 19-year old investigator with a lip ring and a wacko but awesome 50-year-old mom) has a boyfriend who's, from what we've heard, absolutely satanist. Satanism in Mexico is popular, more or less – it's nothing cultish that would make you puke, just emo teenagers all over Mexico. Kinda weird. Makes a 6 foot 2 "Güero" (white boy) look even crazier or out of place.
Aside from teaching the investigators we already have, we had a blast serving our bums off setting up chairs for, playing with and taking care of kids for, and serving food for the sister members in our stake for the women's stake conference, which lasted friday afternoon to saturday night. We served food for three meals, my pants got super dirty.
And then to top it all off, saturday night was a talent show, and Elder Zarate got to show his excellent guitar skills to accompany some hermanas to sing "Sabor a Mi," a bossa nova-ish Bolero song, basically a classic handsome love guitar song from Mexico. Dreamy. I got to hold the microphone, like a champ.
My singing skills are known but not really asked for, that's fine by me. I get to practice hymns on piano often, I'm at about 7 or so. I'm working on having 10 hymns down. I love to play hymns, just to let you know. I learn them fast, the Spirit helps a lot.
I mention it a lot, but I feel the Holy Ghost in so many things I do. I felt it a ton today, when we toured the Mine "El Edén" again for me, my first time on my third week or so. I didn't understand anything from the tour guide my first time, but today I understood a huge amount! At least half of a quickly-speaking tour guide.
Understanding Spanish makes living in Mexico even better. I felt a surety of the progress I've made in Spanish all today specifically, realizing that I'm speaking Spanish without thinking about each word, and realizing the impact I can continue to make with a better understanding.
I started on the 6th of May, and I'm already on 1 Nefi 13. I have learned so much about Christ and his nature, his servants, how revelation works, and how much He loves me.
I feel a pure peace when I open those paperback pages. I feel my Spanish strengthening in all that I do through the book that proves that Joseph Smith was and is a prophet, and that the Church is true.
But don't send a letter to space just yet, I haven't had THE DREAM or the "snap" moment of "Oh, I know Spanish." They're on the way, I feel them coming.
I replied to JD and Kay in Spanish in our little emails, I can do that now!
Speaking of, KAY'S PREGNANT! She's going to be the best mom for Charlie V. At least, that's what we're hoping, a boy. He's gotta be cool for him to be counted as my first nephew. I won't meet him until he's at least 1, though.
Thanks for all the love! I find that I have too many things to pray for, sometimes I need to pause because my knees hurt and pray sitting up.
1-2. The mine today! Yes, my pants are huge.
3-4. Eggs we made and Salsa-beans from a member. We don't hardly ever use forks, just tortillas with this kind of food. Reminds me of the chopstick buds I have out on missions. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

"… Mick?" Vince asked softly, opening the door to the guitarist's bedroom. He sat down beside the bed, sighing softly when he saw Mick was asleep. He'd knocked and rang the doorbell, but when no one answered, he used the key Mick had given him years ago. Before he left. Or was fired. Whichever.
After some time, he hesitantly reached out his hand, running his fingers through the dark hair that was messy and all over the pillow now. Without noticing, he started humming softly, before singing lowly. "I made you lose your smile, now I'm losing you…"
"Is it too late?" Mick asked, opening his eyes, making the blond pull his hand back in surprise and blush darkly.
"I… I'm sorry! I knocked and… you didn't answer… uh… I still have the key." He said the last part in a very low voice, looking down so his hair would fall over his face and hide the blush.
"Vince." The dark haired reached over, taking his hand. "I heard you."
"… Stupid… don't pretend to be asleep!" He whined again. "I say embarrassing stuff, okay?" Then, he blinked, looking at his hand and Mick's. Slowly, he intertwined their fingers, his cheeks light pink.
"It isn't too late, right?"
"N-no. I mean… it's… yeah… no." Vince smiled, lying down and snuggling close to Mick. "I'm sorry."
"Shut up." Mick smiled back softly, pecking the blond's lips. "I got your record… just thought you should know. That's why I recognized the song…"
"Oh… I… thanks…"
"Without you, there's nothing left for me."
"Oh baby, can't you see? Together we will be… forever." Vince closed his eyes, smiling softly. This… was strange, but good. Kind of easier than what he'd expected. | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

In parting with a man who always had a smile on his face / Why did he stop working? Mehr News Agency Iran and world's news
Iraj Rad, an actor in theater, cinema and television, told Mehr about his experience working with Hamid Labkhandeh, who said goodbye to Dar Fani yesterday: "I heard the news of Hamid Labkhandeh's death just a few minutes ago and I am very sorry for his death." . Hamid Labkhandeh was one of the dear artists who tried to continue his life and artistic work in complete peace for many years without any margins.
He continued: Hamid Labkhandeh worked with Professor Samandarian for many years and was one of the most capable theater artists and had many activities in this field. I collaborated with Hamid Labkhandeh in two series, "In Your Shelter" and "In My Heart", both of which were successful TV series in their time. Hamid Labkhandeh was an exemplary human being and a capable and valuable artist, both morally and behaviorally. Attending both series and collaborating with Smile is very memorable for me. The calm and camaraderie that existed in the group was exemplary. Hamid, like his name, who was smiling, always had a smile on his face and treated all his agents with sobriety and humanity.
The theater director reminded: Hamid Labkhandeh was one of the artists for whom discipline was important, and these characteristics originated from his theatrical training. All the smiles at work and at work, from the costume and the location to the relationship with the actors and the actors, were taken into account, and I saw very few people with such characteristics during my career. Payments to actors and agents were never deferred, never to be put in a bag, always a week ahead of schedule, and paid with respect to each and every factor.
خبر پیشنهادی: Cedar port wall paste
Rad noted: In the two experiences of working with me with a smile, we did not have any clashes behind the scenes and everything was done in peace. Hamid Labkhandeh was a real human being and always tried to be a theater servant, and after Hamid Samandarian's death, he took over the management of Samandarian School.
The actor of the play "Undead and Buried Dead" said at the end of his speech: "Smile was a great artist who worked without any margins and I am very sorry for his death." I have always wondered why directing did not work so successfully and with all its capabilities and knowledge. great blessing and great memory.

To accrue is to record revenue and expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Accruals , the result of accruing, are key components of the accrual method of accounting .
Company XYZ must insure one of its buildings. The insurance company bills Company XYZ $600 every six months (one bill in January, the next in July). If each bill is for six months' coverage, then under the accrual method, Company XYZ would not record a $600 expense in January and a $600 expense in July (doing so would mean Company XYZ was using the cash method); it would instead record a $100 expense each month for the whole year . That is, Company would match the expense to the periods in which it is incurred: $100 for January, $100 for February, $100 for March, and so on.
Although it is more complex, harder to implement and harder to maintain than the cash method of accounting, most analysts agree that accruing provides a more accurate picture of a company's performance. That's because in any given accounting period , revenues are associated with their corresponding expenses, which gives a truer picture of the real costs of producing the revenue in a given period.
However, one of the big drawbacks of accruing is that it tends to obscure the nature of the company's actual cash position (e.g., a company may show millions in sales but only have $10 in its cash account because its customers haven't paid yet).

BkiUa8_xK3xgpZzQmMaG | Owner of condemned Salt Lake apartments faces criminal charges
gekid March 5, 2019
SALT LAKE CITY — In December and January, fire inspectors arrived at a Salt Lake City apartment complex to find a sprinkler system at risk of freezing, exits blocked by junk and missing smoke detectors.
This week, they ordered residents to move out, saying the fire and safety hazards were too dangerous. On Friday, prosecutors said the conditions were not just risky but also criminal.
They filed 15 misdemeanor charges against the owner of a condemned apartment complex. The allegations stem from code violations including missing or nonworking smoke alarms and fire extinguishers, extension cords in place of permanent wiring and inaccessible fire hose hookups at Georgia Apartments.
On Friday, many residents were still scrambling to go find a new place ahead of a Saturday move-out deadline imposed by the city. One of those still searching was 34-year-old Aaron Hirtler, who said the criminal allegations brought little consolation and he mostly feels numb.
"It doesn't really change or fix anything, really. I might feel differently later, but right now, in the middle of all this, it's like, 'OK, couldn't something have been done earlier? Did it have to reach this point?'" Hirtler said he was planning to speak with the city's housing and redevelopment team over the weekend to identify more leads.
The condemned complex is a block removed from a busy intersection at 2100 South and State Street in Salt Lake City. Its owner, Carol Lunt, 61, could not immediately be reached for comment Friday. A day earlier, she declined to speak about the conditions but could be seen walking around the complex that has several broken and boarded-up windows.
Tenants on Monday were initially told they had three days to leave, but they were later granted more time. On Thursday, several in 31 occupied units at the two-story complex frantically packed up belongings. Many said disrepair, crime and squatters have long been problems there.
Inspectors with the Salt Lake City Fire Department have been meeting with Lunt in person, talking to her on the phone and via mail and fax since August 2017, the court documents state.
On Dec. 8 and Jan. 29, they identified several code violations "that created concern for life safety issues," according to probable cause affidavits. Each of the counts is an alleged violation of international fire code and related standards, a class B misdemeanor. A conviction carries a possible sentence of up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine.
"Every individual and family has a right to live in a safe environment," Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said in a statement. "When people are put at risk by those responsible to ensure basic standards of safety, we have an obligation to hold them accountable." He could not immediately be reached by phone Friday.
A hearing on the allegations in Salt Lake City Justice Court has not yet been scheduled.
Safety hazards aside, city officials have also noted an increase in violent or criminal incidents. In 2018, Salt Lake police recorded nearly 650 incidents of drug problems, fights, domestic disturbances, trespassing and other issues — about a threefold increase from a year earlier, city officers said earlier in the week.
In Provo, a landlord and property manager are facing criminal charges after a tenant died in a house fire in June. Prosecutors say the building's owner, Kelly Ellis, knew the basement apartment had no smoke detectors and was a "death trap" but rented it out anyway. He and property manager Homer Workman are charged with manslaughter, a second-degree felony, in the death of 48-year-old Donna Clegg. Neither man has entered a plea. Both are due back in court in March. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdv85qsBDEocIjgSH | Origin of the Akebono Name and Logo | Corporate Information | Akebono Brake Industry Co., Ltd.
Akebono, meaning dawn in Japanese, was the name given to the company by its founder, Mr. Sanji Osame. The inspiration for the name came from his hometown of Mokakeson in Okayama Prefecture, Japan, where he was fond of watching the breaking dawn over the Seto Inland Sea from Mushiage Bay.
The natural beauty of the landscape in this region has been described in traditional Japanese poetry, called "Waka", since Japan's Heian Period (794-1185). In fact, the region would become known as the "the hometown of the breaking dawn" after a famous samurai named Taira no Tadamori (1096-1153) included a reference to the area's beauty in one of his poems.
In 1999, Akebono marked its 70th anniversary of the founding of the company, and established a new Corporate Mission Statement. In addition, a new akebono Declaration for the 21st Century set forth the necessary mindset and code of conduct to achieve the Corporate Mission.
As the company entered the 21st Century, it recognized the need to establish a new foundation for the future of the Akebono Group, building on a long history, spanning over 70 years.
As a compliment to the activities undertaken to transform the company for success in the future, a new corporate logo was born. The new design is a conceptualization of the vastness of the universe, in reference to the endless possibilities presented by new business opportunities in the areas of friction and vibration. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Saturna wind has been disappointing for SE's this year. It barely reaches 25 knots ... and goes back down. All it takes is one 35 knot reading to make it fun, but not even close.

An affirmative response to these pleas, however, would [...]

In Night Conversations with Cardinal Martini, he cringed at the "major [...]

I don't like ads. Why are there so many ads on this site?
Do you have an Android App and/or an iOS app?
Do you have a site map?
My question isn't answered here. What do I do?
Whether you're having trouble understanding how to use the site, or want to make sure you're getting the most out of the site, this video will walk you through it. The basics of using the site are all covered in the first 4 minutes. You'll know all about using the site after the first 7.5 minutes, and you'll find out about the site's social media presence if you watch all 13.5 minutes. Enjoy:
Different versions of Shakespeare's works have variations in the text because each publishing house hired a different group of 'editors' who, working primarily with the First Folio of 1623, set to ink their own "interpretation" and "improvements" upon the text found in the First Folio. The folio is the oldest available full printing of the complete works, and is closer to how the plays were originally performed.* The spellings, punctuation (or lack thereof) and other conventions used in the folio contain hints for actors which are lost in the later versions through "corrections" and other edits made by the editors of more recent generations. This site uses text from The Globe editions because that is the text used by the Open Source Shakespeare to which I link for each entry.
I suggest you use the Riverside, the Arden, the Cambridge, the Penguin/Pelican or the Folger editions of the plays for your audition or classwork.
When in doubt, check The Folio.
The line numbers I've listed in the index of monologues may differ (by up to 10 lines or so) from the hard copy version you have in your home/school/theatre. This is common as the line numbers vary from edition to edition.
The search engine on the site is not as advanced as search websites (e.g. Google.) It will look for exactly what you type, including punctuation and spelling. Try removing punctuation, or browse to the page for the play the monologue is from and search there.
No, I cannot. Only someone who has seen you act can suggest an appropriate monologue to show off the uniqueness that is you. Ask a friend, teacher, director or someone else who has seen you act in class or in performance. Perhaps pose the question to your friends on Facebook and/or your Twitter followers.
If you're not an actor but are required to memorize a monologue for a non-acting class just pick one you've heard of or that sounds interesting to you.
Thanks. Please click here to send me email.
This site is faithful to the First Folio. I'm not interested in any aspects of the "Authorship Debate" because the question of "who really wrote the plays" is completely irrelevant to acting or directing the plays. The "lost plays" or "new plays" have become a part of that debate, so to avoid that controversy altogether I stick with the original complete works as published in the First Folio.
I don't like ads. Why are there so many ads on the site?
For the same reason you see ads in the program when you see a play. Production (of any kind) is not free, so I need to try to recover a little bit of the money I lose on this site (by running ads.)
In the interest of full transparency: Our ad revenue averages about $200 per month during the school year, and about $100 per month in the summer (the best month ever was $500, but that was back before the economy crashed in 2008.) The ad revenue almost covers the costs of creating and maintaining the site. Almost. Sometimes. Your "donations" via the Tip Jar button are much appreciated. (Since the autumn of 2008, donations have totalled less than $100. That's not per year, that's total.)

Eighth seeds, Rohan Bopanna in partnership with Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France did not drop serve, but converted only one of 10 breakpoints, and paid for it with a 6-4, 6-7(4), 5-10 defeat at the hands of Raven Klaasen and Michael Venus in the doubles pre-quarterfinals of the ATP Masters tennis tournament in Madrid on Thursday.
Qualifier Sasi Kumar Mukund's superb run came to an end as he was beaten in the quarterfinals by Cem Ilkel of Turkey in three sets. Mukund had beaten Sanjay Fayziev and followed that up with an impressive victory over the second seed Nikola Milejevic of Serbia.
Mukund collected 22 ATP points, including five for qualification, for winning five of his six matches, and $2,190.
In the $60,000 ITF women's event in China, Ankita Raina and Karman Kaur Thandi made the singles quarterfinals and the doubles semifinals with their different partners.

BkiUdAk4eIXhzGirCuS_ | I'm Anna, a thirty something mummy to my 21 month old gorgeous twin girls, Tabitha and Poppy. Whom despite having a watertight plan, entered the world by two different modes of transport – I can honesty say I have reviewed birth! We live with my doting husband Tristan and little dog Flicka in the Essex countryside – Essex countryside I hear some of you say!
I met my husband, my world, in 2012. Well actually, no I didn't. I'd known him years. His mother was my ballet teacher, I'd looked after his cousin's children when I was 18, and we were Young Farmers together from 15, so we were really old friends. But with divorces behind us both, fate brought us together. He was and is my rock. We married in 2014. I was 33. It felt right and we were both desperate for children and then boom – twins!
Having been a primary school teacher, and a deputy head in both Essex and Norfolk for 14 years, my time had come to stop looking after everyone else's children and bring up my own. It was now time to be a full time mummy. You would think my career would have made me a fully qualified mother too – NO, nothing, nothing prepares you for being a mother.
With a passion for travel, this was one thing we wanted to continue and have continued since the twins. Kenya has to be the most beautiful place in the world – I have such a desire to travel this continent more one day – truly and utterly amazing. We also love wine – the children love to whine and we love to drink wine!
So why now? Why after 21 months have I decided to do this? It's taken me until now to find my feet, mist from the clouds, you know the sayings! I feel I can really reflect on times past; give honest advice, but also create a lasting virtual memory box of keep sakes for the girls.
I will bring back the embarrassing, the cute and the ugly photos and thoughts. It's interesting when I think about it now and how it was then. Let's just say, I see things differently now, but you will just have to read all about that!!
So this is me, and this is us.
Follow and enjoy our journey of life and adventure as much as we do. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdc05qrqCyq8KqKtX | This project was performed to develop guidelines for changes in the geometric design and operations at intersections with the greatest potential to aid in their use by older drivers and pedestrians. A literature review identified age-related diminished capabilities that affect performance at intersections, and examined current design standards and their adequacy for older road users. Problem identification studies (accident database analysis, task analysis, focus group discussions, field observations) were conducted to better define older persons' difficulties in intersection use, and an expert panel met to prioritize variables for more extensive laboratory and field studies later in the project. These studies subsequently focused on age (including both young-old and old-old groups) and the effects of opposite left-turn lane geometry (offset amount and direction), right-turn channelization and curb radius, and varying median pedestrian refuge island configurations, using both objective (performance) and subjective measures. A critique of the data obtained in these studies during a second expert panel meeting concluded that sufficient evidence exists to support guidelines for: (1) geometric design to ensure a minimum required sight distance for drivers turning left from a major roadway, and (2) operational changes to accommodate older drivers where (re)design of an intersection to meet sight distance requirements is not feasible. In addition, a revision of Case V in the AASHTO Green Book to determine sight distance requirements that reflect the perceptual task of gap judgment by a left-turning driver more accurately than the current assumptions in Case IIIB is recommended, and further research needs to enhance the safety and mobility of older road users at intersections are identified.

BkiUchbxK3YB9m8SWR2e | Q: Order of picked up meta tags in the html-head I was wondering if someone could explain how social media rich previews define which og:title to pick.
I use wordpress and for certain pages I insert php echo strings to inject them into the <head>. I choose to do that to change certain titles and descriptions into more commercial texts. What obvisouly happens is that there are 2 og:title meta tags; my injected one and the Wordpress backend page title.
Once I was told that the first meta tag in the top of the <head> will be picked as thé meta tag to be picked up for rich previews for example, but this seems not to happen (anymore).
Below is my current situation and exact order of meta tags in the <head>:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>EXAMPLE</title> // my injected and used by Google
<link rel="canonical" content="https://example.com">
<meta name="description" content="description">
<meta name="subject" content="example">
<meta name="og:image" content="/image.jpg"> // my injected and used by Social Media
<meta property="og:title" content="og:title #1"> // my injected og:title, but ignored
<meta property="og:description" content="description">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://example.com">
<meta name="twitter:title" content="EXAMPLE">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="description">
<link rel="alternate" href="https://example.com" hreflang="nl-nl">
<link rel="alternate" href="https://example.com" hreflang="nl-be">
<title>EXAMPLE</title> // default by Wordpress
<meta property="og:title" content="og:title #2"> // default by Wordpress and being used
<meta property="og:type" content="website">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://example.com">
<meta name="og:image" content="/image.jpg"> // default by Wordpress
</head>
</html>
What happens is that Whatsapp and Facebook are taking the 2nd og:title meta tag, which doesn't make sense in my opinion.
Changing the title page in the backend is not a solution, because it becomes something like Check out our wonderful shop!, this is not user friendly. Also I'm not a fan of Yoast, because Yoast loads extra code into the pages, which I don't want.
Who knows a solution to this, or can explain why this is happening?
Update & Answer
Thanks to Chris I understand that og: meta tags are being scanned from top to bottom in the <head>, and updates the 2 identical properties with the last one that is being scanned. This RDFa process is typical for apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter. One exception: og:image seems to be needed in the top, it doesn't override a second or third one below it.
Google Search related tags are being picked up by the first one in the top of the <head> and keeps that one as "first come, first serve".
Solution: I will inject og: tags into the bottom of the <head> and the other ones will be kept in the top. Tested it and it works.
A: Facebook and other apps generally use their own slimmed down versions of RDFa parsing, which from my understanding is a way to parse meta data from xml and html documents. From what I was reading, it seems that as the parser goes through your html page, it will add the first metadata piece it finds to it's "current subject", and if it finds another one with the same name, it will then overwrite the "current subject" with the updated info.
It seems like a pretty complicated topic, so I suppose the simple answer would just be that their parser will always take the last meta data tag and use that.
To fix the issue, I would see if you can inject your custom og:title/metadata below the one autoinjected by Wordpress.

BkiUfNTxaKgQTovFSQCV | Q: Следует ли при проектировании базы в mongo разделять сущности или делать это через композицию? Простой пример - форум без сложной структуры. Есть "Тема" и есть "Ответы".
*
*Должно ли быть две коллекции, со связью один ко многим где "Ответы" ссылаются на "Вопрос"? (Реляционный подход)
*Или добавлять ответы в массив "Ответов" для каждого вопроса (композиция)
*Или сделать одну коллекцию (т.к. тикет от ответа отличается мало, то считать их одной сущностью) с разницей, что у ответов будет ссылка на вопрос? (Эдакий реляционных подход со связью внутри своей коллекции)
Например второй метод ставит для меня вопрос: будет ли это удобно когда я захочу найти вопрос по id.
Спасибо!
A: Исходя из изученного материала и общения на эту тему дам ответ на свой вопрос.
Зависит от того как будут использоваться сущности. Т.е. если нам не нужно будет искать ответы по id или другому признаку то необходимо отдельная схема т.к. доступ в этом случае будет невозможен.
Причина непонимания была в том, что мною предполагалось, что даже в случае добавления массива в запись будет происходить его индексация.

BkiUd-PxK7IADIh7QmJq | Q: Textbook on Approximation Does anyone know of a good book on approximations methods? In particular finding approximations to sums, integrals, etc via upper/ lower bounds, power series approximations, etc and bounding the error of the approximation.
This topic has always been a weak point for me. When I'm in some QM or analysis class or something and a professor says "and then of course this is approximately '...'" I usually don't see how they got there without at least a few minutes of effort. Sometimes I still can't figure it out. And it's even harder to find approximations for myself than to just verify that a given approximation works.
Is there some textbook that goes over stuff like this? Whenever I google it I get stuff for computer science algorithms.

BkiUdaE5qg5A56rhKzbX | Calculations based on 4kg infant and average daily infant intake of 0.78 liters breast milk.
Notably, the Boston study also found that even moms who ingested extra iodine by using iodized salt or taking multivitamins containing iodine didn't always have sufficient iodine in their breast milk. This finding is important because it underscores the need for the government to act to reduce perchlorate contamination of food and drinking water, rather than just simply pointing to iodized salt and multivitamins as quick fixes to the perchlorate problem.
The Boston study also measured perchlorate concentrations in the mother's urine, finding a median level of 3.0 ppb. More important than the actual values, however, is the fact that these concentrations are remarkably similar to the levels of perchlorate that the CDC found in its much larger study of perchlorate exposure that tested the urine of more than 2,800 individuals. In that study, the median urinary perchlorate concentration was 3.6 ppb. Since the perchlorate exposures in the two studies are so closely aligned, one can assume that the high levels found in the Boston women's breast milk are, unfortunately, probably typical of the general U.S. population.
Taken together, the weight of the evidence from these studies strongly support the conclusion that perchlorate is a major public health threat that needs to be addressed. Yet, there are still no federal safety standards for perchlorate in drinking water or food. Under pressure from the Pentagon and the defense industry, EPA has delayed setting a drinking water standard for perchlorate. California is in the final stages of adopting a perchlorate drinking water standard of 6 ppb, recommended by state scientists before release of the September, 2006 CDC study. The proposed standard in New Jersey is 5 ppb. Last July, Massachusetts adopted 2 ppb as the nation's first legally enforceable drinking water standard.
Senators Boxer, Feinstein, and Lautenberg and Representative Solis from California have introduced legislation in the U.S. Senate and House of Representative that seeks to improve perchlorate monitoring and regulation to better protect public health.
Breast milk is by far the healthiest food for infants. However, the perchlorate levels found in breast milk in this CDC/BU study are alarming. The doses of pechlorate that infants are getting from ingesting this food are far higher than doses that have been shown to cause significant disruptions of thyroid hormone levels in many adult women. We also know that infants are more vulnerable than adults to the health effects of perchlorate exposure.
The level of perchlorate found in breast milk in this study suggests a serious threat to the normal development and health of potentially all American infants.
EPA must adopt a maximum contaminant level for perchlorate in drinking water based on the most recent science, including the 2006 CDC study and the Boston study described above. The 2006 CDC study showed convincingly, with statistically valid data from a large human population, that perchlorate levels well below the EPA's "safe" dose cause significant thyroid hormone depression in adult women of childbearing age.
With the CDC study showing that even less than 1 ppb perchlorate in water may pose health risks to women, fully protective drinking water standards must be set as low as possible—at no more than 1 ppb—and revised downward as detection and cleanup technology improves. The Food and Drug Administration must also adopt an action level for perchlorate in food that is designed to protect the fetus, infants and children from the adverse effects of these exposures.

BkiUajTxK6-gD5TlbD0o | Collective Mining Announces That Drilling is Underway at the Guayabales Project, Colombia
TORONTO, Sept. 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Collective Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CNL) ("Collective" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a maiden 7,500 metre diamond drilling program is underway at its Guayabales Project, located in Caldas, Colombia. The Guayabales Project ("Guayabales") is situated contiguous, immediately along strike and to the northwest of Aris Gold's Marmato gold mine, which contains proven and probable reserves of 2.0 million ounces gold and 4.35 million ounces silver (19.7 Mt grading 3.2 g/t gold and 6.9 g/t silver). The Company interprets the abundant precious metal mineralization encountered throughout Guayabales to be related to multiple mineralised styles that include gold-copper-molybdenum porphyries and associated breccia as well as high grade, precious and base metal vein systems that are superimposed on and enrich the porphyry bodies.
The Company has, to date, generated five unique grassroots targets at Guayabales named Donut, Box, Olympus, Victory and ME (see Figure 1) . Each of these targets will be systematically drill tested as part of the Company's maiden 7,500 metre drill program at Guayabales.
The Donut target has been outlined from mapping and sampling of shallow underground tunnels which exposed mineralized breccia overprinted by a high grade, polymetallic vein stockwork hosting gold, silver, and to a lesser extent, copper mineralization ( refer to July 12 th , 2021 press release ). Drilling is already underway at the target with first assay results anticipated during October, 2021.
The Company's diamond drilling program will initially consist of short, fanned holes (up to 300 metres) from a single drill pad covering various depths beneath the shallow underground workings to define the potential grade and extent of the mineralized system. Visual observation of early drilling already completed has intersected porphyry breccia with a pyrite matrix which is overprinted by a quartz-carbonate-sphalerite vein stockwork associated with intense sericite alteration over intersection lengths of up to 250 metres. The mineralized breccia system at Donut has been traced along strike and to the west for at least 600 metres and remains open in all directions. Additional drill pads will be constructed in due course to allow the Company to test the strike extent of this target.
A second drill rig will be mobilized to test the Box North target ("Box") in October, 2021. The Box target is a gold mineralized porphyry system with a high-grade vein overprint. Previous channel sampling ( refer to July 29 th , 2021 press release ) outlined multiple +1 g/t gold grades (range of 1 to 15 g/t gold over widths of 1 to 2 metres) from small and limited outcrop exposures. The samples are located within an overlapping gold, silver and molybdenum soil anomaly covering an area measuring 500 metres in diameter and open in most directions. Due to the limited exposure, a deep penetrating Induced Polarization ("IP") survey is currently being undertaken at the Box target by Arce Geofisicos using their proprietary AGDAS technology. The survey will generate 3D chargeability and resistivity data for minimum vertical depths of 800m in the search of disseminated sulphide porphyry systems and resistive vein clusters and stockwork zones. The drilling program will focus on testing the mineralized system as defined by mapping, sampling, and the IP program. Results from the IP program covering the Box are expected in September and final drill targets will be selected shortly thereafter.
"The commencement of drilling activities within the Guayabales project represents another important and exciting milestone in the Company's evolution from early-stage explorer to outlining multiple large, continuous and mineralized porphyry, breccia and high-grade vein systems. In total, we now have five distinct targets defined for first-pass drill testing over the next six months with more to come as we continue to explore and evaluate our highly prospective land package," commented Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman.

BkiUc184ubngxRYeLbxX | In a televised address on Sunday, while marking the 99th Independence Day of Afghanistan, President Ghani said the truce, effective from Monday, would be "until the prophet's birthday provided that the Taliban reciprocate", making it conditional unlike the previous ceasefire.
Speaking at the iconic Darul Aman Palace in Kabul, President Ghani said the decision to announce ceasefire was reached after extensive consultation with different segments of the Afghan society and Islamic scholars worldwide.
The ceasefire announcement was limited to the Taliban and excluded other armed groups such as the ISIS. The Taliban did not say whether it will reciprocate or not, but in a statement issued late on Sunday the insurgent group said that they planned to free "hundreds of prisoners" on the occasion of Eid.
On Eid al Fitr this year, the Taliban and Afghan government had observed a historic, unprecedented three-day ceasefire, which saw the Taliban fighters and members of Afghan defence forces embracing each other in the streets of Kabul and provincial capitals.
Although President Ghani had extended the 'unconditional ceasefire' after the Eid, the Taliban turned down the offer and went back to the frontlines of war. So, after a brief lull, the storm raged again.
The security situation continues to deteriorate in Afghanistan with rising number of terror attacks in different parts of country and mounting civilian casualties. At least 1,600 civilians were killed in the first six months of the year, the highest number in the past decade, the United Nations said in a statement on Sunday.
The report attributed 42 percent of civilian casualties to the Afghan Taliban and 18 percent to the ISIS, noting a fourfold increase in deaths and injuries caused by both the armed groups.
Last week, the Taliban overran a strategic city of Ghazni, which connects Kabul with Kandahar, and it took more than five days for the Afghan security forces to regain control over it.
It was followed by a deadly suicide bombing at a school in Shia-dominated neighourhood of Kabul, which killed more than 50 young children. The attack drew widespread condemnation, with many social media activists criticizing the government in Kabul for failing to protect the citizens.
President Ghani's ceasefire offer has been welcomed in neighbouring Pakistan. "Pakistan fully supports all such efforts that contribute to achieving durable stability and lasting peace in Afghanistan," a spokesperson for Pakistan's ministry of foreign affairs said in a statement.
Recently there were reports about the direct talks between the U.S. government officials and the Taliban in Doha, which raised many few eyebrows in the intelligentsia circles of Afghanistan. Experts believe such talks will push the people of Afghanistan to sidelines and damage the credibility of President Ghani's government, which has been batting for Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace process. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUbvHxK2li-DeXyzNv | ← diary of a quilt block with a bird's nest!
I cannot believe that my wonderful Husqvarna Epic machine is nearly a year old. I have so enjoy using it that it has taken me too long to blog further about it. I thought you would like me to share my favourite features of this machine, one year on. Today I was stitching out a new design whcih will be part of Morning Grunge 2 to be released in a few days, and I thought I would take this opportunity to show you what I love most of all about my machine.
Firstly I love the way it lights up my sewing studio as it stands in pride of place. Notice that I have hooped a layer of stitch and tear, added another layer with temporary adhesive and then added my silk dupion on the top, using the fixing feature on the machine to hold it all in place.
I tend to lay the left hand spools on their side which keeps them out of the way and avoids any tangles. This is a marvellous feature as the thread is well clear of any rough edges on the spools that can cause problems.
I find embroidering so easy now with this huge screen, and I was delighted when they brought the timer back.
It is also great to have two upright pins for spools of thread. I use the right hand side for my favourite large spools of off white and cream! Behind the machine you can see my bobbin refill stand, although I am now looking forward to using some pre wound bobbins that are available from my dealers.
My first impression of the cloud storage, my SewNet was not good, but Husqvarna seem to have sorted it out now and I experience little difficulty. The important thing to remember is that you do not have a huge amount of space. There are several ways to access it but my preferred method on my computer which has Windows 10 installed, is to go the lower right of the screen and click on the upwards pointing arrow which displays your hidden icons. You may not have to do this if you don't have so many programmes listed in your taskbar as I do. Click on the cloud with the open heart.
When the grey box opens I select mySewnet.com which I prefer to use as I am actually entering this cloud. This the webpage and you will need to sign in.
Once you are logged in you can access mySewnet™cloud. Do not keep too many designs files there. If you are replacing a file with an updated one and it refuses to upload the new version, log out and log back in again.
Obviously the rate of stitches per minute is excellent too, so my embroideries take less time to test out. Every time I see the finished screen I am delighted at what I have embroidered and am excited by what I will be able to stitch next!
Now this was a 5″ by 7″ design I was testing, but I have to admit that one of the best features of this machine are the huge 260mm wide hoops. I do hope that Husqvarna brings out a 260mm square hoop soon, as I find the results are always better using square hoops and just think of the possibilites for quilting. I don't usually place my silk dupion so the lines of the fabric are vertical but it worked nicely for this design, giving the hummingbirds lift. I have used Sulky Rayon 40wt thread for the stitch out.
There are 15 designs in this new set which is part of the Morning Grunge collection. I particularly love this diamond shaped design. The set is due for release later this week and contains some lovely borders.

BkiUc8k5qYVBQos0H5kc | Could 'Smoking Gun' DNA Sequence Lead Detectives to Biological Terrorist?
Elizabethkingia: Is This Mysterious Disease Coming from Hospitals?
The last major cultivated plant that didn't have its genome sequenced has finally gotten its day in the colinearity sun. The sugarcane genome has entered the modern molecular biology era.
The reasons it took so long were challenges with conventional sequencing techniques because the sugarcane genome is so complex. It has large numbers of copies of each chromosome category (high polyploidy), varying numbers of copies depending on the chromosome category (aneuploidy), structural differences and interspecific chromosome recombinants, and bispecific origin of the chromosomes.
The genome structures of sugarcane and sorghum are similar, they have parallelism, with numerous genes occurring in the same order. Using the sorghum genome as a template the researchers behind the new study were able to take advantage of that colinearity to assemble and select the sugarcane chromosome fragments to sequence. "Thanks to this novel method, the reference sequence obtained for a cultivar from Réunion, R570, is very good quality," says Angélique D'Hont, a Centre de coopération internationale en recherche agronomique pour le développement (CIRAD) geneticist who coordinated the study.
It's a major breakthrough. Almost 80% of the world's sugar comes from sugarcane but sugarcane cultivar breeding programs were restricted to old hybridization trial and error, followed by conventional, very cumbersome field assessments.
Sugarcane can now enter the modern world of molecular biology. That's sweet science. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdK04eIZjkiQT3Rlf | What I Like: It was projects like Potmos Hetoimos that spurred Metal Trenches into existence to begin with. I am 100% on board with any band that likes to shake things up, especially given the current state of mainstream music. Vox Medusa is a fascinatingly eclectic journey built on a strong foundation of jazz. Sax and synths compliment the already technical and expectation-defying instrumentation. Chaotic, blackened vocals and doomy waves of distortion amplify the metal side of things; creating an overall effect and atmosphere not dissimilar from that of Dreadnought.
Critiques: The more doom-focused "I. Idyll Anathema" starts things off on a slower note. It's one of my least favorite songs, so I might have recommended putting a better foot forward. So if you're not sure at the beginning, for my money it's not until "III. The Silicon Mirror" that things get really interesting.
The Verdict: There' still room to tighten things up compositionally, but I am very pleased overall with what Potmos Hetoimos is putting out there. Far from the cookie-cutter, Vox Medusae is something entirely unique and refreshing. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUfi3xK7FjYCv2UIyk | When preparing dinner that has a lot of elements, timing it all to come together at an exact moment can prove tough, especially if you're in a busy household. As a result, parts of dinner can go cold while other parts are still being cooked, or the whole dinner can go cold while you round up the children (or adults) to sit at the table. While many simply reheat food in the microwave, households now have another way to prevent dinner from getting cold – the warming drawer.
While they may not be the first thing you think of when it comes to kitchen appliances, the warming drawer has seen an increase in popularity in recent years, as the handy appliance often seamlessly fits into your kitchen, as well as proving to be a savior when it comes to keeping dinner from getting cold. With plenty of finishes, sizes and capacities available across a number of brands, households are spoilt for choice. Read on to find out what brands have to offer.
A heavyweight of the household appliance scene, Bosch has a wide variety of appliances and products available for consumers to deck out their homes, including plenty of appliances for the kitchen. Within this extensive range are two warming drawer models, each with different dimensions and capacities to help suit your kitchen and lifestyle, regardless of how much space you may have.
Both warming drawer models are within Bosch's Serie 8 line-up, with the handy appliance likely to set you back between $1,000 and $1,500, but may be well worth the price tag when it comes to keeping dinner warm. The main difference comes from their dimensions, with the Serie 8 drawers available in either a 140mm or 290mm height, allowing for a difference in capacity, as well as how many items you can keep warm simultaneously.
With four temperature controls, and a temperature range between 40°C and 80°C, Bosch's warming drawers are suitable for pre-warming plates, keeping food and drinks warm as well as helping to defrost or slow cook food. With a heating plate made of toughened glass, Bosch's warming drawers have a max weight of 25kg, meaning you'll be able to fit plenty of food in the drawer.
Swiss manufacturer V-Zug has a number of warming drawer models available, with heights ranging from 144mm to 283mm, allowing consumers to find a model that suits their kitchen space. Available in black glass or stainless steel finish, the V-Zug warming drawer can make a fancy addition to any kitchen.
With a temperature range between 30°C and 80°C across seven temperature settings, the drawers can be controlled via an electronic temperature control, with the chromium-steel interior also coming with an interior light to help you keep an eye on your food.
V-Zug warming drawers have a minimum 19L capacity, and also come with a glass heating plate for safe and efficient heating. Additionally, if you're prone to cooking or heating the same meals, you can save the settings under the Favourites function, making it user-friendly. Consumers can also take advantage of the 6 hour time delay function, meaning that you can start slow cooking or defrosting even when you're not home.
With plenty of kitchen appliances available, Fisher & Paykel has joined the warming drawer market, offering consumers two models in a number of finishes to suit every kitchen aesthetic. Other features include a 30kg weight limit, handy for those big dinners, as well as a soft closing mechanism for easy use.
Additional features include stainless steel control buttons, automatic timers and an automatic shut off for increase safety, along with an easy clean glass base. Available in both stainless steel and black glass, Fisher & Paykel offers a two-year warranty on both parts and labour, giving consumers peace of mind as well as a warm dinner.
Offering possibly the widest variety of warming drawer models, kitchen goliath Miele has households covered with plenty of finishes to suit every kitchen style and size, although the price tag may turn some consumers off the brand.
Available with or without handles, Miele's Gourmet warming drawers are available in the traditional 140mm and 290mm dimensions, allowing for an easy fit either under the oven or wherever there's space in the kitchen to suit your personal preference.
Miele's warming drawers have four operating modes, including cup warming, plate warming, food warming and low temperature cooking, allowing households plenty of options when it comes to dinner time. Settings and modes can be chosen through the touch controls under the flush glass fascia for easy use, with a timer also available for slow cooking. Miele's warming drawers have a 25kg capacity, making them ideal for large dinner parties.
Despite the cooking potential, Miele's warming drawers are said to keep cool on all their external sides, allowing for increased safety in the kitchen. Another safety feature is auto shut-off, which automatically shuts off the warming drawer if the maximum operating time of 12 hours is exceeded, handy for those who forget to turn off appliances or aren't an expert in the kitchen.
Much of its warming drawer range has been discontinued, but Smeg's Classic model is still available for sale, offering plenty of functions and features to make it a worthwhile purchase for any household. With a range of installation options, including under bench, as an integrated system or wall mounted, Smeg's warming drawer can fit in any kitchen. With a stainless steel, fingerprint proof finish, Smeg's classic model has a 45kg weight limit, with a warming temperature of up to 80°C.
Should I get a warming drawer?
While they may not be the most common kitchen appliance, many households could find benefits with having a warming drawer installed, with enough functions available to help at meal time, regardless of what you're cooking.
With plenty of brands available, narrowing down the options to find the ideal fit for your household can send many consumers into a headspin, so it's best to do your research before you put a payment down. With many warming drawers offering similar dimensions and temperature ranges, other factors such as safety features and the weight limit may be the deciding factors when it comes to installing one in your kitchen. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

I'll do my best to make sure all the users are migrated over, so you will still have your same username/password. And I will migrate the discussions, too. I hope I get them all.
So if you see the site down, or completely different (and it will be different!), don't fret. It's a monster upgrade and you will like it better. I promise.

"You'll never be a mother!"
The doctors said, "You'll never be a mother!" But thanks to multidisciplinary treatment at Shaare Zedek's IBM MOM clinic, Dana now has two beautiful children
Dana (35), from Central Israel, suffers from chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) diagnosed a few years ago. She had just become engaged when the couple heard the sentence every woman fears to hear: "The chances of you having children are nil."
After two failed fertility treatments and a rejected request for adoption, Dana came to the IBD MOM Clinic at Shaare Zedek, headed by Dr. Ariella Shitrit.
And there, she heard the voice of optimism she needed to hear.
Dana became pregnant.
Dana's story is similar to the stories of many women suffering from inflammatory bowel diseases who often – after deterioration in their situation, complicated surgery that caused fertility problems or because they took a drug that wasn't appropriate for use during pregnancy – need a more comprehensive response to their illness, one that also deals with the issue of fertility in the wake of their medical condition.
"A few years ago, I had some bowel surgery that went wrong due to contagion in the pelvic limbs. The disease had spread. I then had to have another operation to fix my Fallopian tubes," says Dana. "A fertility expert from another medical center looked at the results of the ovarian reserves tests and declared, quite adamantly, 'Dana, I'm sorry, but I see no chance of pregnancy here'."
Moreover, after those results and further deterioration in her IBD, the doctor even suggested that Dana check out surrogate mother or adoption options. Despite the doctor's surety, Dana asked for a second opinion. But the second specialist also confirmed that her chances of becoming pregnant were very small.
"We went through a tough time," says Dana. "Instead of deciding what color scheme to have at the wedding and drafting the invitations, we were asking existential questions about continuity. Eventually, after much deliberation, we decided to go for fertility treatment."
In the first round of treatment, all five embryos removed were not sustainable. In the second, they did manage to get pregnant but it didn't last. The couple's frustration increased until they submitted a request for adoption. But that too met with opposition because Dana is categorized as permanently disabled (due to the disease) and limited in her working capabilities.
The couple did not give up.
Dana contacted Dr. Shitrit to ask her advice about drugs safe to use during pregnancy. During their meeting, Dana told Dr. Shitrit the whole story – the earlier diagnoses, the disappointments, the failed fertility treatments. "It was a very emotional meeting," recalls Dana. "I was crying most of the time. But a gynecologist was also in the room with us and she looked at the test results as well.
"Those doctors made the wrong diagnosis," she said.
"Suddenly, for the first time, I was hearing a voice of hope, of optimism. And at the end of our conversation, Dr. Shitrit looked me in the eyes and said in no uncertain terms, 'Dana, you will be a mother!"
So Dana began at Shaare Zedek and after tests, monitoring, drugs-based optimized treatment and an accompanying dietician, Dana's situation improved.
Within a month she was pregnant!
Today Dana and her husband have two children, a 4-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son.
Dr. Shitrit emphasizes the importance of the treatment approach for women suffering from IBD. "On the one hand, we need to be optimistic so as not to affect the woman's overall state, which can also impact fertility. On the other, there are life-threatening situations we have to be wary of, and even forego the chances of pregnancy in favor of the woman's long-term health."
"It is important to note that IBDs do not necessarily cause fertility problems in and of themselves, at least when they are treated and stabilized. Nevertheless, in active and severe Crohn's Disease for example, there may be damage to fertility due to various factors, including Fallopian tube dysfunction, ovarian failure or pain and discomfort during relations due to infections in the pelvic area. Hence the huge importance of stabilizing the disease before deciding whether to become pregnant or not."

BkiUf_DxK3xgpbERE4h8 | The B.C. SPCA is applauding a move by an online classifieds magazine to ban private pet sales in a bid to combat sales of banned and exotic animals, such as African Rock Pythons and other dangerous reptiles.
The SPCA's Lorie Chortyk said the "landmark" decision by Buy, Sell & Trade is an important step in ensuring the safety for animals and humans in B.C. — one that takes on particular importance in light of the tragic deaths of two New Brunswick boys believed to have been killed by an African rock python earlier this week.
The Buy, Sell & Trade has served Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands since 1976 as a print publication. After transitioning online in January and extending service to include the Lower Mainland, owners noticed "a significant increase in the number of postings of suspicious pet sale ads," Buy, Sell & Trade's Ryan Cochran said in a release.
Upon consulting with the Nanaimo SPCA, Cochran said the family-owned business chose to remove all private pet ads from its website, listing instead only B.C. SPCA adoptable animals in its pets section. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUbKk25V5hcJY57Nzz | SANATORIUM ESPLANADE -engl
SANATORIUM ESPLANADE
Artúr Szalatnai- Slatinský, 1933-34
National Historic Landmark
Standing at one end of the spa park, near the road to Omšenie, the Esplanade sanatorium was built to make up for the missing modern spa accommodation capacities in the 1930´s. Despite its functionalist character, it lacks the avant-garde shape of the nearby and more famous Machnáč sanatorium. Artúr Szalatnai- Slatinský uses the new language of modernism to react to the existing area of older spa villas in the promenade along the Teplička stream. Esplanade is symbolically turned back, nevertheless perceived as a part of the historic composition when looked at from the park. The sanatorium stands on the ground plan of a classicist palace with two avant-corps vividly standing out on both sides, lowered to allow for roof terraces. The entrance is placed at the end of a terraced staircase, which is located in the central axis of the house. The banisters and the terrace surface is made of Spiš travertine, the key material of Slovak functionalist architecture. Rooms on the second and third floors are sunlit by French windows, which were disregarded as an alternative to ribbon windows during the period of discussions about a new form of modernist architecture. Using the French windows also indicates the use of a traditional construction technology without ferro-concrete skeleton. However, there is a typically modernist feature - roof terraces with pergolas, providing the possibility of solar therapy and undisturbed relaxation with a view of the tree tops in the spa park. The sanatorium Esplanade house is an originally preserved historic landmark and is still in use. | commoncrawl | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUge7xK7IAEeGRgxCC | Per Nørgård (né le à Gentofte au Danemark) est un compositeur danois. Il est, après Carl Nielsen, et avec son contemporain Ib Nørholm, une figure majeure de la musique contemporaine danoise.
Parcours et style musical
Il fait ses études musicales à l'Académie royale du Danemark à Copenhague avec Vagn Holmboe et Finn Høffding, puis à Paris de 1956 à 1957 avec Nadia Boulanger. Ses premières compositions subissent l'influence des nordiques, principalement Sibelius et Nielsen. À partir des années 1960, il s'intéresse à des techniques d'écriture plus contemporaines, la musique sérielle et surtout il découvre le concept de série infinie. Sa première œuvre utilisant cette technique est Voyage à travers l'écran d'or de 1968.
Le principe de la série infinie repose sur une superposition dans un même système, des portées de tempos de plus en plus lents et dont les cellules mélodiques sont obtenues par images de cellules de la première portée. Bien que ce principe s'applique tant aux gammes chromatiques qu'aux gammes diatoniques, Nørgård privilégie les gammes diatoniques (dans Gilgamesh, par exemple). Dans sa Symphonie nº 3, il mélange la série infinie, des gammes majeures et mineures, des séries harmoniques et résonantes et des rapports rythmiques qui donnent naissance à une musique mouvante dont les éléments tout en variant sont en étroite interaction.
Son style a évolué au cours des décennies. Ses premières compositions, notamment les sonates n°1 et 2 pour piano comme sa première symphonie se caractérisent par une écriture dense. Si les œuvres suivantes gardent en intensité, le style s'épure à la mesure de ses propres recherches ; il atteint sa maturité à la fin des années 1960 quand Nørgård est en pleine possession de son langage et fait preuve d'une forte expressivité. (Iris, Luna et Voyage à travers l'écran d'or).
Au début des années 1980, Nørgård va s'intéresser à l'artiste schizophrène Adolf Wölfli. Parmi les compositions qui s'inspirent de cet artiste, citons la Symphonie nº 4 (1981) et un opéra sur la vie de Wölfli The Divine Circus (1982).
L'originalité de Nørgård réside dans une personnalité riche qui a su assimiler plusieurs tendances complémentaires. L'une, qui fait appel à la spiritualité, au questionnement de la place de l'homme dans l'univers, l'autre, "terrestre", qui s'ancre dans les mathématiques, se réfère au nombre d'or, aux séries numérales, à l'expérimentation sonore, à la physique et la chimie. Nørgård, qui s'est lui-même qualifié de "nordique" dans les années 1950, réussit cette alchimie qui fait de lui un compositeur de tout premier plan.

BkiUbW84eIfiURL9Q4px | After reading the book, Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil, which exposes the seedy underbelly of the olive oil industry, I sought out Veronica Foods in California to learn where I can buy their products. This company was specifically mentioned in the book as a reputable purveyor of excellent quality olive oil. To my complete surprise they have a retailer three blocks from my house in Abingdon, VA!
Since my first visit to Abingdon Olive Oil I have visited numerous retailers and have found the experience at all the others lagging far behind what you will experience here. You will be met at the door by the owner, K.C. St. Louis or her culinary expert, Penny Arrington, or by Ashley Johnson or Lori Price, two of Abingdon Olive Oil's full-time knowledgeable sales persons. You will be received like a special guest invited into a lovely home.
In the front parlor you will be introduced to the newest oils from California, Spain and Portugal. These regional oils will change over the months as Veronica Foods brings in the freshest oils from around the world and as the picking season varies from region to region. These oils are currently $17.99 for a 375 ml bottle. You will be educated on the region, the amount of polyphenols in each of the oils and the type of olives used. You are free to sample anything in the store. The specialty and gourmet oils are also found in this area, the decadent truffle oil ($33) , the richest and most flavorful sesame seed oil I've ever tasted ($23), and the sensuous walnut oil, ($23).
Which brings us to the tasting room where you can mix as many combinations as you like at no charge. In this room is a large table set up with a variety of oils and vinegars paired to bring out the best flavors of both. There is a bowl of fresh bread available to use for dipping. Here you will also find specialty oils infused with a variety of flavors such as an organic Tuscan herb blend, lemon, blood-orange, Persian lime, Chipotle, and others. The one which saved my baking when I became vegan is the organic vegan butter infused olive oil, which is made from organic food plants, such as celery, whose flavors have been extracted and combined to produce a flavor which closely mimics butter. It is then infused into the olive oil. I use it to make scones, buttery pie crusts, biscotti, tarts and other decadent desserts. At $18.99 a pop for a 375 ml bottle (roughly 12.6 oz), I don't do it often but I've found nothing does the job so well of replacing butter in baking.
The final leg of your experience will be the balsamic vinegar room. Unlike oils, these only become better with age so you can stock up to your heart's content. The most expensive at $26.99 is the Traditional 18-year Aged Balsamic Condimento. I consider this a must-have in my pantry. Others are cinnamon-pear, blackberry-ginger, black cherry, dark chocolate, cranberry-pear, fig, ripe peach and many more. I love the coconut paired with the Persian lime oil. They are wonderful for creating great fruit and grain salads with a Caribbean or Peruvian twist. All of these delicious vinegars are $18.99 each.
Throughout the shop, which is located on Main Street in an old Victorian style house, you will find some of Penney's art work for sale on the walls and lots of gorgeous pottery created by Debbie Grim, a legendary local artist, as well as herbs, handmade baskets, chopping boards and other items of interest.
You are likely to run into Rich and me there, with our monster, Phoenix, tied to a porch rail outside patiently waiting for us to return with our bags of booty. If you do, be sure to say hello. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUcV_xK7ICUyBuz3PR | CMTA is proud of the technology and innovation that manufacturers are using to compete and grow in California, where every efficiency counts. The "Internet of Things" (IoT) is not new but it's impact on operational efficiencies for manufacturing is emerging. It's long been understood how IoT can help with distribution and warehouse related processes, but it's also going to help improve the manufacturing process.
On manufacturing floors there is still a lot of running around, hard copy record keeping and hands-on troubleshooting, especially in small and mid size operations. IoT can improve all of these manual processes and generate substantial productivity improvements.
By adding IoT sensors, cameras and gauges, as well as the software needed to view the data that's collected, maintenance teams can keep tabs on equipment performance without ever stepping foot on plant floors. These solutions can alert employees to a component's change in pressure, temperature, vibration, or other critical occurence. Maintenance teams can then remediate the issue with minimal (or no) downtime.
Like we saw with cloud infrastructure, IoT technology is bound to soon become ubiquitous and affordable. Soon small-scale manufacturing operations will be afforded the same customized IoT opportunities as their multinational counterparts.
Whether it's reporting the least energy-efficient components on a line, identifying energy byproducts exceeding tolerable thresholds or delivering real-time information about material waste, IoT sensors and gauges will make compliance much easier for manufacturers everywhere.
Connected sensors, cameras and telemetry don't just report on abnormal machine operation — they also report on product variations and help boost the quality of finished products. With this information, machines further down the production line can be adjusted to resolve the issue and prevent the defective product from reaching consumers.
Better inline quality assurance will relieve stress from quality control departments, instill better confidence within the sales and distribution chain, and ultimately improve relations with end consumers as well.
It's one thing to get your machines connected and collecting data, but understanding that data is something else entirely. Executives who have invested in customized intelligence software are also learning how to make meaningful productivity decisions based on their data, finding faster and cheaper methods to produce superior products. You can expect to see rapid growth in software and mobile products aimed at delivering actionable data to upper management. By speaking the user's language and making IoT relatable, these software advancements will only further accelerate adoption across the whole industry.
IoT technology is set to revolutionize how manufacturers operate to an extent that hasn't been seen since the first mechanized assembly lines were introduced. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUd1o5qsNCPfdFe9MB | It Has Been A While. . . .
After about one year of trying to make space in the start-up world without technical skills, I've come to understand exactly how much I need them. I've done plenty of research into the best way of getting coding skills. I've spoken to many friends in the technology world. I've looked at all the coding bootcamps and programs available.
I have chosen to enroll in Treehouse to learn my coding skills. It's the most cost effective way I've found to get these skills and still do all the things to which I've committed. I have collegiate basketball this fall. I have softball tournaments and regular season games to which I have committed.
So for $39 per month I'll have access to a library of lectures and assignments to learn how to code. Treehouse says if you dedicate 5-8 hours per week to their program within 45 days you will have enough skill to get a job. They add that within one year you should be able to get a job writing and refining mobile apps.
For less than $500 I can learn all the coding skills I need to make something happen. I'm sure I'll need constant refreshers and practice. No worries there. I've been learning how to be a better umpire and referee for 15 years. Nothing new to figure out. On top of that, I just finished my MBA in June. It was 100% online and self-driven. If I can finish that, I can finish this coding thing.
I've always said in order to tell the best story I need to be the story. Empathy is a strength of mine. If I cut through the forest of doubt first, I can better show the way that might serve you best. I know each journey is unique. I know everyone is different. I hope my example can motivate you to stay focused and keep moving.
If you follow me anywhere on social media, you'll notice my writing for Tech.co. It has been a very enlightening experience. I've had PR firms reach out to me asking to write stories about their clients. I'm always straight with them. I'm going ask tough questions about their product and company. I'll do my research and find out their details. I'll be engaging and energetic. Then I'll tell a good story.
The first of these was my piece about Michelle Forsythe and NoteStream. It came after my pieces about women in tech for Seattle StartUp Week. She was funny and easy to speak to. We found common ground in writing and laughed about her being a female CEO.
That story has lead to many new contacts. My point here is the path may seem murky and tough at times. Take all the contacts you can. Talk to all the people you can. Serendipity of connection will eventually kick in and your name will get out there. I've grown my Twitter following my 50 in the last three weeks just from writing seven articles on Tech.co.
Now to answer the question about time. Why haven't I written on my own blog in so long? This is my creative thinking space. I throw things around and figure out what works. I did that will all the Celebrate 2015 posts. The format and context changed as I wrote more and more. I've written some crappy stuff lost of good stuff. That's what being creative is all about.
I've found my new focus. It was a bit of a let down after Celebrate 2015. Maybe my expectations were too high, or something else. I'm not too sure. I've been away because I had to refocus and make sure I was headed the right direction.
Writing for Tech.co is great as it a more formal setting. I have an editor who cleans up my messy prose and finds the best way to get my point across. That's what he's meant for. Here I'll throw some things around and tell a meandering story that I hope you'll follow. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUdf_xK7IABDHEYyAq | Did you know that an infrared sauna can offer the same health and wellness benefits that steam saunas offer? They're easy to install, too, and they come at reasonable prices.
JNH Lifestyles is a leader in the home infrared sauna market. In fact, they're the #1 best-seller on Amazon. Their team of engineers and experts have more than 20 years of manufacturing experience, and the quality of their saunas speak for themselves.
Are tested by Intertek, a third-party company that performs equipment inspection, certification and testing.
Have DuraPanels, which protect the sauna from regular wear and tear. The heat-resistant dual wall structure protects the frame from cracking and splitting due to contraction and expansion from heat.
Have a modularized structure, which makes it easy to assemble, break down and replace parts.
JNH Lifestyles builds their saunas with quality in mind, and that is evident in their high customer ratings.
How Can You Select The Best Infrared Sauna for your budget?
JNH Lifestyles offers a range of options for customers of all budgets. Whether you need a sauna just for you, or one that can accommodate a large group, JNH has a solution for you.
What is the EMF Rating for JNH Lifestyles Saunas?
If you're interested in an infrared sauna, you may be worried about EMF, or electromagnetic fields. Every electronic device emits some form of EMF, and we receive natural EMFs from the sun and earth.
The safety of EMF exposure is a controversial topic, and there are some studies that indicate that EMF exposure can be unsafe. It is believed that exposure to man-made EMFs, which are stronger than natural EMFs, can disrupt the electromagnetic systems in our bodies. The brain, heart and mitochondria can be especially susceptible to interference.
If you're installing an infrared sauna in your home, you may be worried about EMF exposure.
Here's the good news: With a JNH Lifestyle sauna, you don't have to worry.
All of the heaters featured in the Ensi Collection are Intertek-tested and is the only one in the industry that offers a virtually zero-EMF reading.
JNH Lifestyles offers several quality sauna collections designed to fit the budgets of virtually every customer.
The most economical option, with a design based on traditional saunas. Vivo saunas have minimal glass, so they offer more privacy. They're also handcrafted from Canadian Hemlock.
One of JNH Lifestyles' most popular collections. Joyous saunas are also crafted with Canadian Hemlock wood, and contain the highest number of carbon fiber heaters per unit in its class.
Like the Vivo collection, these models have safety-glass doors, a digital control panel and a premium sound system. Different sizes are available to accommodate a wide range of group sizes.
A luxurious collection, Freedom saunas are handcrafted with Canadian Western Red Cedar wood. These units have between six and nine far-infrared carbon fiber heating panels. They also offer a premium sound system, LED lighting and a digital control panel.
Saunas in the Ensi Collection are the only ones in the entire industry to be Intertek Certified for virtually no EMF reading.
The open-style design offers an LED lighting system, digital control panel and a high-quality sound system.
Tosi saunas are the only true full-spectrum saunas on the market today. These saunas are equipped with both mid and far infrared combination heaters. The advanced LEDs also provide near infrared. When combined, they offer a full spectrum of infrared, which allows you to enjoy the maximum benefit of all wavelengths.
How Much Power is Needed for a JNH Lifestyles Sauna?
How much will it cost you to run your sauna?
JNH Lifestyles saunas are energy-efficient, and cost about $0.25 per hour to run.
The Joyous and Freedom collections are the two most popular collections at JNH Lifestyles. And both offer a wide range of sizes to meet your needs. Let's take a closer look at these two collections to see how they compare.
Joyous far-infrared saunas are made with Canadian Hemlock wood, and they come equipped with the highest number of carbon fiber heaters per unit in its class. All models have a sound system and a digital control panel.
Freedom saunas are more luxurious in style, as they are crafted with Canadian Western Red Cedar.
Like the Joyous Collection, Freedom saunas come in a wide range of sizes. The size determines how many carbon fiber heating panels are installed. Single-person models have six, while up to nine panels are installed in multi-person models.
A premium sound system, LED lighting and a digital control panel make these saunas some of the most luxurious in JNH's line-up.
The Freedom Collection offers a more luxury experience, while the Joyous Collection is ideal for the everyday user.

BkiUd6w4eIOjRvCHtUeC | Liz Cheney's Republican bid flops, bandits rob the Flash
This week's top newsmakers
By Maclean's January 9, 2014

Boujemaa Razgui
The most dangerous weapon, as far as the United States is concerned, is the flute. Or that's what Razgui, a Canadian player of traditional Middle Eastern flute music, discovered when he tried to get into the U.S. with his hand-carved instruments. Because the flutes were made from bamboo, customs officials classified them as vegetation and destroyed them, leaving a bewildered Razgui to point out that guitars and other instruments are also made out of plants. The mix-up has robbed Razgui of his livelihood, but at least America is safe from the lurking bamboo menace.
2014 is going to be a big year for ultra-conservative upstarts challenging Republican incumbents in U.S. primaries. But one person who isn't up to that challenge is the eldest daughter of former vice-president Dick Cheney, who on Monday dropped out of her bid to go up against Wyoming Sen. Mike Enzi due to an unidentified "health issue." Although Liz Cheney played up her conservative credentials—even stating an opposition to gay marriage despite her sister, Mary, being gay—she couldn't catch on with fellow Republicans.
Chris Kluwe
"Two Cowards and a Bigot": That was the provocative description the former Minnesota Vikings punter used for the three people he claims are responsible for his release from the team. In an article on the website Deadspin, Kluwe claimed he had been let go over his pro-gay activism. Kluwe spoke out against a proposed Minnesota amendment banning gay marriage, and claims that his coach and general manager told him to keep his mouth shut, while the special-teams coordinator used "homophobic language."
Ty Warner
The creator of Beanie Babies, responsible for making so many children happy, had a miserable childhood, ironically. Or at least that's what Warner says in arguing that he shouldn't go to prison. Warner pleaded guilty last year to tax evasion, and faces up to four years behind bars. In his court filing, his lawyer argued that one of the mitigating circumstances should be the "unhappy family and a youth devoid of educational advantages" that Warner had as a child, with a mentally ill mother and distant father. If only he had had a Beanie Baby for comfort.
Jamie McDonald
All McDonald wanted to do was run across Canada dressed as the Flash to raise money for sick children. Instead, the British man was beaten and robbed in a hotel in Banff, Alta., on New Year's Eve. He lost his money and the footage he had taken of his run, which has been ongoing since March. Banff officials say they still consider their town "a safe place to visit, and a fun place to visit."

BkiUdhI5qhDBS5hVZ2ZU | Land Rover U.S. Eventing Team Completes FEI Nations Cup Military Boekelo-Enschede CCIO3*
By the US Equestrian Communications Department
Caroline Martin with Pebbly Maximus at Richland 2016 by Shannon Brinkman
Boekelo, The Netherlands – The Land Rover U.S. Eventing Team concluded the 2017 FEI Nations Cup™ season at Military Boekelo-Enschede CCIO3*, October 5-8, 2017. In a massive field that drew 99 combinations, U.S. team members Katherine Coleman, Caroline Martin, and Elisabeth Halliday-Sharp were among the 68 that completed one of the toughest CCI3* competitions on the calendar. Halliday-Sharp placed 16th individually to lead the U.S. team, who finished seventh in the team standings.
"The Nations Cup is a great experience for our riders. With a team of three, I thought we did very well despite the conditions. Other countries who actually started four [combinations] did not manage to complete. The conditions on Saturday [during cross country] were quite difficult and wet, but we finished and presented all horses [on Sunday], so the women did a great job," said acting Chef d'Equipe Leslie Law.
Halliday-Sharp (East Sussex, England) and Deniro Z delivered a consistent dressage test on Friday in the gelding's Nations Cup debut. They scored a 44.6, finishing just inside the top-25 following the phase. She and The Deniro Syndicate's nine-year-old KWPN gelding added 10.4 time penalties during cross-country, but a clear jumping effort helped boost them to the 16th position. They dropped one rail in the show jumping phase for an overall score of 59.0.
Martin (Miami Beach, Fla.), a United States Equestrian Team (USET) Foundation Jacqueline B. Mars Developing Rider Grant recipient, and her and Sherrie Martin's Pebbly Maximus performed a steady dressage test for a score of 50.2 to sit in the 64th position going into cross-country. She and the 13-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding picked up 13.2 time penalties. However, they jumped clear which advanced them to the 32nd position. Despite dropping two rails during show jumping, they remained 32nd overall with a score of 71.4.
Coleman (Wiltshire, England) and Back to Business started competing at the three-star level this year. In the combinations first Nations Cup together, Coleman and her own 10-year-old Irish Sport Horse mare earned a personal best dressage score of 51.3 at the three-star level on Thursday. They finished 66th, overall, with a score of 132.5 due to two refusals during the cross-country phase and dropping two rails during show jumping.

BkiUdXw5qoTAhudwyJDF | If you are on the right side of 50, you have lived through a music migration from records to cassettes to CDs to MP3s. And if you're someone who never throws out music in any form, you may also have 78s, 45s and 8-tracks. These days, I have to think of the vintage of the music I want to hear to know where to look for it in my house. Beatles – look for records. Bread – look for 8-tracks. Bee Gees – look for cassettes. And if you're like me, you probably have bought CDs of your favorite albums from the '60s that replace records that have more skips than a five-year-old girl.
Because I have gotten tired of buying and re-buying music in different physical formats, in recent years, I have taken to buying MP3s of my music and storing them on my computer, my phone, and my iPad. I back them up on the Internet. But despite all this redundancy, I don't trust digital formats. They're too ephemeral. I prefer to have physical backup. That's why I still keep all the original source material that the old music came on. I also buy CDs as a backup of my most vital music.
Back in 1972, I purchased yet another music source – a reel-to-reel tape recorder. I used it primarily for recording, but I also purchased commercial "albums" that were available in that format back then. For example, I have the Moody Blues' "Days of Future Past" on a reel-to-reel tape. Recently I dusted off my old reel-to-reel, and played some of those old tapes, and I was surprised at the great sound. Audio enthusiasts insist that records have better sound than CDs, but to my ears, reel-to-reel tapes have better sound than records. More than 40 years of sitting in boxes has not degraded the quality of the tapes. Of course, my children look at my reel-to-reel as if it was a contemporary of Edison's wax cylinder. But they can't dispute the great sound.
In addition to music, being on the right side of 50 means maintaining machines to play video cassettes, DVDs and Blu-Rays, but that's another story.
All this is why I have a home entertainment center that looks like NASA launch control while my son has an Ipod connected to a speaker and an Ipad to stream video. I don't care. I'm not throwing out any of my music and video formats. Someday I may want to listen to my 8-track recording of "Winchester Cathedral." What? It's available for 99 cents in the iTunes store? Anybody want to buy an 8-track player? | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

There is a fair amount of material with this grouping, envelopes from McCray's wife to him at the camp, letters from the steamship company, detail's of McCray's service and some correspondence from him to myself. I am planning to sell this material down the road as I am slowly letting go of my Merchant Marine collection. Let me have your snail mail address and I will be happy to send you some copies. I do not have any great knowledge of the POW experience but a number of men in my collection were POWs of both the Germans and the Japanese.

BkiUbbHxK19JmhArBwws | The next day after auntie left, while we were having lunch, a visitor came.
Luckily, we met once and I still remember him, or the story won't happen.
Greg has also volunteered at Sunny Guesthouse in the past, for almost three months altogether. Later on, he started his own guesthouse at HuangCaoLing village, 800m from the DuoYiShu viewing deck. A while ago, in an afternoon when there were no customers, uncle Tong suggested that we go to the Cliff House for coffee. Unfortunately, Greg was not there when we arrived but we met him on our way out. That was when we met for one second.
Greg decided to take a break and go home during this low season. He came to say bye but ended up seeing us only. We heard that he has coffee at Cliff House, so asked him if we can go. So, we went there shortly after, and went again on the next day, taking a different road, walking along the terraces, climbing up a very steep path.
We have not had a cup of good coffee for a long time!! To our surprise, Greg made us siphon and hand drip coffee, we were so impressed and touched by the coffee!! The Cliff House was only opened last Oct, we come to know that auntie and uncle Tong have not come after it has opened (last time we all missed it), so, we took a tour of the guesthouse.
The Cliff House by its name is located right on a cliff. It has an over 180 degree view of the terraces, and can also see the sunrise. It is not so close to the terrace but you can see a bigger view, very nice too! There is no outdoor space at all, but their indoor decoration is very good, cozy and stylish. The Cliff House and the Sunny Guesthouse are two totally different styles and even their pricing and market strategy are totally different.
On our first visit, we did not bring a camera, just taking some photos using our phone… while we were enjoying our coffee, it started raining, we felt that we'll just wait for the rain to stop before we left…after a while, Greg asked us to come out, when we went out, we saw a rainbow below us, and hanging above the terrace, it was so stunning!!! When the rainbow slowly fainted away, we saw the terraces in a splash of rainbow colours, this was amazing!!
If the Cliff House is not going to close for vacation, I am sure we would be there every day for the rest of our stay here….

EatBeat: Tickets Still Available for Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival
Organizers and volunteers for the 7th annual Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival are primed and ready for the biggest food event in Palm Beach County that begins Friday, December 13 and runs through the following Tuesday. Lectures, tastings, dinners, a chef band, dine-arounds and pop-up events are set at restaurants, hotels, in a shopping plaza and on a farm in the area.
It's grown from a 3-hour dine-around featuring local restaurants at the Esplanade on Worth Avenue, to a nationally recognized event that features award-winning chefs from around the country as well as celebrity cooks from the Food Network.
"We listened to the community to see what they wanted in a culinary event, and we've added events that include families and those under 21," said David Sabin, organizer and head of the event planning group that handles the festival.
He's excited about the Kids Kitchen at the Four Seasons Resort on Saturday, designed for young cooks six to 14, along with their parents. The hands-on event has surprises for the youngsters, Sabin said. They'll cook with TV star Robert Irvine and Momofuku Milk Bar pastry chef Christina Tosi.
The Chillin' and Grillin' event is the one most likely to attract the biggest conglomeration of chefs and notables who've traveled to attend and participate, Sabin said. It's the kick-off party at the Four Seasons hosted by TV personality Ted Allen, and featuring the hotel's executive chef Darryl Moiles, and returning talent Robert Irvine. They are joined by Jeff Mauro, Mean Max, Marc Murphy, Johnny Iuzzini, Elizabeth Faukner. Expect great burgers and a laid-back event oceanside as a late lunch.
Savannah at The Breakers; farm event a hit
Saturday night will see The Breakers hotel transformed into a slice of Savannah as chefs honor "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." Marc Summers, host of the Food Network's Unwrapped hosts.

The Southern Comfort event at Swank Farms on Sunday signals one of the unique venues – a working farm in Loxahatchee, where many chefs get their produce. A tour of the farm, along with jazzy cocktails and a different chef for each course, plating on stage, makes this one of the favorite spots on the calendar, Sabin said.
A trio of Treasure Coast chefs will compete against one another for a $10,000 prize (half goes to their charity of choice) at the Chef's Throwdown, part of the Grand Tasting finale. It's at 150 Worth, full circle to where the event began seven years ago. It's one of the most popular of the week.
Other chefs and restaurants participating include Michael Schwartz, of Michael's Genuine and a James Beard award winner – he'll host the High Tea afterparty on Saturday late night at the Four Seasons; Daniel Boulud, hometown chef, opens Palm Beach's Cafe Boulud for Daniel and Friends on Friday for cocktails and more; Tim Lipman of the Coolinary Cafe in Palm Beach Gardens brings the Real Food Revolution Sunday night.
"Really, there's something for everyone this year; we're really tried to bring a variety of culinary events that will hit all levels of interest," Sabin said.

Two Common Myths About Sexual Consent
Julissa Treviño
In the long history of feminism and anti-sexual-assault activism, mantras like "No means no" and, later, "Yes means yes" have shaped the way we talk about consent.
But as more and more people open up about their non-consensual encounters, Katie Mettler writes for The Washington Post, the language we use to describe sexual assault and consent has evolved. The #MeToo movement, originally established by activist Tarana Burke, has put the issue in the spotlight, and the cultural dialogue surrounding sexual "misconduct" has broadened to include more than the most explicit expressions of it (e.g., legal harassment and rape).
But even this shift in the discourse — from putting the responsibility of stopping sexual assault on the victim with "No means no" to putting the responsibility on both parties with "Yes means yes" — has occasionally missed some important nuances and context about consent and communication.
In a recently published essay in the Journal of Applied Communication Research, University of Minnesota Communication Professor Kate Lockwood Harris argues that we need to do away with such consent mantras. Communicating consent isn't simple, she says, but that's not a bad thing. I reached out to Harris in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month to talk about the two big communication myths about consent and how we should talk about consent instead.
Myth #1: Statements Like "Yes" and "No" Are Crystal Clear
Many consent education and advocacy campaigns have focused on saying, "Consent is simple." That was the message behind the Project Consent campaign in 2016. Though saying "yes" or "no" should theoretically be enough to communicate consent, consent isn't actually simple, Harris says.
Words used by different people sometimes have different meanings, not to mention people often use non-verbal communication. This makes communication ambiguous to some degree. "When activists say, 'No means no,' that's true, certainly to some extent. But it's also a lot more complicated. It covers up that communication is really complex. There's always a lot more happening than just 'no' or 'yes.'"
In fact, this myth allows perpetrators to assault someone with the excuse that assault can only happen when a situation is completely unambiguous or the excuse that she said yes despite getting non-verbal cues that say otherwise.
Myth #2: Everyday Talk Doesn't Require Social and Historical Context
Just as words' meanings aren't simple, words are not disconnected from history, society or culture. A person's culture or gender often plays out in the way we communicate, Harris says. "Anytime we use language, we automatically connect with history of words and much bigger culture."
So while the mantra of "Yes means yes" puts a focus on pleasure, many women, for example, feel shame for being interested in sex, Harris says. And sometimes it can be hard for women to enthusiastically agree to sex or say what they want for fear of being seen as promiscuous.
Cultures also vary in terms of how direct people are when saying yes or no. "In some cultures, if someone invited me to a party, I could say no directly," Harris says. "But in other cultures, I might say, 'Thank you so much, I don't think I'm going to make it.' I never said no, but that's what I mean. Sometimes outright saying no goes against culture."
This myth plays out in a negative way when talking about sexual assault. "If we [only] focus on whether the person says yes or no, then we don't have to think about how culture plays out or gender dynamics that might make it hard for someone to [do so]," she says.
How to Talk About Consent Instead
1. Understand how the meaning of consent has changed
Consent has shifted over time, meaning that it is not static. Before July 1993, marital rape was still legal in some parts of the U.S.; marriage gave permission to assume consent to sex was permanent. That's not the case anymore, though some states still treat this differently than rape between two people who are not a couple, as The Daily Beast reported in 2015.
Harris says deepening our understanding of how the meaning of consent has shifted will help bring context to the issue; it's not always black and white, in other words.
2. Differentiate ethical behavior from consent
Consent — which is inherently ambiguous and requires interpretation of meaning — and behavior — what we choose to do with consent — are entirely different, Harris says.
Although consent activism has often treated consent and behavior as the same thing, we need to shift the conversation to make people responsible for how they interpret communication, rather than just the language people use to give consent.
People already navigate scenarios in their daily lives where they have to interpret communication and meaning before taking an action. A sexual encounter is no different — meaning that if it's unclear whether a woman has consented to sex, a man should listen, interpret what it means and make an ethical choice.
3. Miscommunication is not the same as lack of communication
Don't confuse lack of communication for miscommunication. Assault doesn't happen out of miscommunication; it happens when one person ignores communication. "Communication requires trying to understand the other person's perspective. When someone has assaulted a person, they have ignored the other person completely," she says.
Ultimately, Harris says, we should continue to have conversations about consent — but be mindful of how we communicate with each other and assume responsibility for interpreting meaning and taking action.
"Some people who assault other people say, 'What could I do? It's so complicated. I didn't understand what that person meant.' I think that's why people have said consent is simple," she says. But the complicated nature of consent and not assaulting people are not mutually exclusive. People are capable of understanding that consent is complicated and they can still not commit sexual assault.

BkiUch_xK7Tt6CA5Ga6g | A nursery for our first baby girl!
We were inspired by the glamorous look of the refinished dresser set, as well as the antique feel of the Jenny Lind crib. Once these items were in the room, everything else just fell into place. I'd like to also mention that I lived on this site for several months while I completed the room - there are so many brilliant and one-of-a-kind nurseries out there - you can't help but be inspired by others' unique ideas.
French Provencial, Vintage-Modern...Eclectic, Transitional? It fits into so many categories...but I think it works when you can tie it all together with color, pattern, and textures.
After fishing through piles and piles of inspirational photos, looking at site after site for the perfect crib and dresser set - It finally hit me that I could find some of the most unique and interesting pieces by searching at the local antique mall, Craigslist, and even Goodwill for items that could be refinished and repurposed for a fraction of the cost. The rocking chair was a $25 dollar purchase from Goodwill for my first apartment 8 years ago, and I couldn't let it go! The lamps, including the hummingbird nightlight were all items I previously owned. The green lamps were an antique mall purchase and were updated with new drum lamp shades. The other two lamps were Craigslist and Ikea buys. Most of the framed wall art like the frou-frou dog and cat and the flowers over the crib were a DIY project, (in a sense). I was able to find cheap frames at Marshalls and Walmart - and found these pre-matted 5x7's in the framing department at Hobby Lobby (half-off!) If you search long enough - you can find lots of cool matching pieces. I made the mobile myself out of pom-wheels from Pomtree on www.Etsy.com. And picked up the mirror and green accent table from Garden Ridge. My one splurge was the Natasha Collection bedding set from www.Serenaandlily.com. I love love love it - but for the first year, we will be swapping the bumper out for a white breathable- bumper from Target, just to be safe!! I used 3D wall flowers in the bathroom above the mirror from www.Chiasso.com. They add just the pop and contrast you need on a simple painted wall.
I'd have to say my favorite item would be the French Provencial dresser with center drawers. Once our baby is here, we will add a changing pad and it will double as a changing table. I love that this dresser is something that will grow with her. Originally I had a custom changing table all planned out in my head - but I couldn't be happier with this decision. I found the glass knobs on www.anthropologie.com, but bought metal spray paint to change them from brushed aluminum to an antique bronze. A little paint can make a huge difference.
I had a really difficult time with purchases that I made online due to the accuracy of colors and some quality issues. I found that artwork and rugs are much better purchases when made in person! I also always carried around my bedding fabric swatch and my paint chip in my purse - you never know when you are going to come across an item that might work for your color scheme! And don't be afraid to DIY!
I like the subdued colors you used. I like the pretty details. Over all, the room looks gorgeous. And oh, I absolutely love your rug.
I lOVE IT, I love the colors and the rug is great too… where did you purchase it?
Thank you so much for your comments! I wish I could give you the exact details on the rug – I found it at TJ Maxx Homegoods – it was the only one they had, with no tag or brand name on the back of it. If I see it online ever, I will make sure that I let you both know!
The white and blue gives a very soothing and relaxing effect, Looking at your room already lulls me to sleep. I bet your baby girl will be one peaceful baby. Great job on the nursery.
I wish more people would write sites like this that are actually interesting to read. With all the fluff floating around on the internet, it is rare to read a site like yours instead.
Where are the dressers from they are stunning!
I luh-huv this nursery! So soothing and calm.
The dressers are from http://www.thefrenchcanary.com (antique furniture refinishing company). They are Dixie brand, and were originally found on Craigslist.
Totally inspired!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
My baby girl is due in November, and we also went with a blue room with white, refinished furniture. I have been searching for a white mirror–where did you get the one in your room?
I love, love the mirror (and your whole nursery in general!!!). I've been looking for a mirror just like it ever since I saw your post. We don't have a Garden Ridge store here in CA. Do you by chance know what manufacturer it is?
It is really lovely. My favorite feature of the room is the wainscotting and the beautiful blue on the walls.
I am a mother of a 15 month old daughter, and expecting my second girl in February. I am a commercial interior designer specializing in hotel and showroom design. I live for creative projects in graphic design and interiors - so designing nurseries and parties for my little ones has been something I have always looked forward to. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdnQ241xg-Kn-ALNb | Made with ground turkey and filled with extra veggies, these Turkey Sloppy Joes are a healthier alternative to your typical sloppy joes. You won't miss the extra calories with this flavor-packed, easy dinner.
I love a good sloppy joe. Maybe that's why I have several versions here on the blog. But they are easy. They are family friendly. And they are fast.
Today, I'm reposting a great sloppy joe recipe for when you are trying to eat a little healthier. These don't taste like diet food at all – because they aren't! – but they are packed with flavor, some extra veggies, and are a little healthier than your normal sloppy joe. And if you are wanting to make this one step healthier, try serving the turkey sloppy joe mixture over a baked sweet potato. It's heaven!
Seriously – these are so, so easy!
Start by prepping all of your ingredients. Chop your carrots, onions and garlic. Have all of your other ingredients ready to go.
Cook the ground turkey over medium high heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Season the meat with seasoned salt and pepper.
When the turkey is almost cooked, add the carrot and onions. Cook until softened, then add in the garlic.
Reduce the heat and add the brown sugar, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce.
Cover the skillet and allow it to simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in the tomato sauce. Let the sauce cook out for a minute to get rid of the raw tomato flavor. Stir in the tomato sauce. Let it simmer until the mixture is your desired consistency.
You will need a good 12-inch skillet to make the sloppy joes.
You can use a potato masher to break up the turkey instead of a wooden spoon.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Season with the seasoned salt and pepper. When the meat has mostly browned, add the carrot and onion and cook until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Reduce the heat to medium and add the brown sugar, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute, then stir in the tomato sauce. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, or until you reach your desired consistency.
Serve on the whole wheat buns.
I need to follow your lead! These are Brad's fave.
My husband is standing over my shoulder, drooling. And it's getting on me.
Sloppy Joes are the most unappetizingly-named-but-totally-delicious sandwich. Yum! This looks like a good one!
Deborah, your new blog design is beautiful! You have great taste when it comes to color and food! These sloppy joes look wonderfully delicious and I love that you made them skinny. Going to check out your Cafe Zupas post now. Thanks for sharing!
Yum these look great! I have a recipe for 'skinny' Southwestern Sloppy Joes that Iadapted from a Weight Watchers cookbook many years ago that are a staple at our house. In fact every time I make them my boyfriend can't get over the fact they are 'healthy' sloppy joes because they are so filling and have so much flavor!
Uuuuhhh! I have the same problem with the baby weight, so I'm on a diet!. Good luck to you!
These look delicious!! I am working off some baby weight myself. These are certain to make an appearance on my dinner table. YUM!
This Looks delicious. Your sandwich got me craving 🙂 love the photo. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 3 | 1 |
