Schoolgirl Report aka Schulmädchen Report 70's German Teen Softcore Sexploitation
Ernst Hofbauer (b. 22 August 1925 Vienna, Austria – d. 24 February 1984 Munich, Germany at age 58) was an Austrian film director.
During the early 1970s, in Munich, Hofbauer teamed with Walter Boos, Wolf C. Hartwig, and Ludwig Spitaler to produce the original thirteen films under the banner Schulmadchen Report (or Schoolgirl Report); the stories were adapted from books written by Guenther Hunold, while Guenther Heller composed the film script, Klaus Werner did the camera work, and the music was handled by Gert Wilden & Orchestra. Hofbauer and Boos were referred to as the 'Titans of Teen Libido'. The films were classified as 'sexploitation', and were extremely popular, seen by more than 30 million people all over the world.
In the United States, the films were released in grindhouses and drive-ins, and the names of the films were changed to conform to American standards. Because the films focused on young girls who may have been under legal age in this country, the Schoolgirl Report series was eventually suppressed.
The Schoolgirl Report series was very interesting because the films portrayed many unknown teenagers and actresses who were vibrant, beautiful, naive, innocent, and unabashed. Most of the films related a series of vignettes to tell an interesting story. Hidden pedophile lust, co-ed skinnydipping, situations involving first-time sexual experiences, and encounters with teachers were all shown in the episodes. Interracial love affairs, male and female masturbation sequences, forced prostitution, rape, voyeurism, harmless erotic games, seduction, and erotic touching are also portrayed in the vignettes. Well-known German sex kitten Ingrid Steeger and the ever-horny Italian comic Rinaldo Talamonti play key roles in many of the vignettes. Rosl Mayr appears in almost all of the thirteen Schulmadchen Report films as an elderly lady with a comic role. She is perfectly cast as a comedic talent and is the only senior actress that plays a key element in many of the vignettes. Marie Ekorre, Sonja Jeannine, Christina Lindberg, and Birgit Tetzlaff are a few of the young actresses who titillate the audience with their erotic encounters. Friedrich von Thon conducted street interviews to discuss the plots in the vignettes, and many of the situations were followed up with a courtroom setting (the male actors were charged with statutory rape). The Schoolgirl Report films were classified as 'soft-core' eroticism, which is similar to the David Hamilton genre.
Ernst Hofbauer directed many erotic films in addition to the original thirteen Schulmadchen Report classics. Sex sells, and Hofbauer exploited consumer demand for R-rated movies involving young actors and actresses. He had a unique style that combined youth, eroticism, wit, and anecdote. His exploitation films of the 1970s appealed to moviegoers from all walks of life.
A chronological list of the original 13 Schoolgirl Report films follows:
★ Schulmadchen Report I: What Parents Don't Think is Possible, aka Schoolgirl Report Part I

Perversion For Profit (1965) Vintage Anti Porn Propaganda
Perversion for Profit is a 1965 propaganda film financed by Charles Keating and narrated by news reporter George Putnam. A vehement diatribe against pornography, the film argues that sexually explicit materials corrupt young viewers and readers, leading to acts of violence and "perverted" attitudes regarding sex—including inclination toward homosexuality. Although Perversion for Profit is quite serious in its suggestion that pornography could erode the integrity of American culture, Peter L. Stein of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote in a 2003 review that it was "shrill and sometimes comical".
Today, Perversion for Profit is in the public domain, and due largely to its unintentional humor value, it has become popular on the Prelinger Archives website and on YouTube. As Peter L. Stein observes in an article for the San Francisco Chronicle, however, the film also has considerable historical significance, serving as a sort of time capsule of pornography from the era as well as an example of historical concerns regarding media influence:
…as the parade of girlie magazine covers, men's physique pictorials and campy S&M leaflets continues, the film betrays a kind of prurience the filmmakers could hardly have intended. What results is a remarkable visual record of midcentury underground literature and sexual appetites, and a gloss on the values of the society that condemned them.
"Now, you might ask yourself 'Why this sudden concern? Pornography and sex deviation have always been with mankind.' This is true. But, now, consider another fact: never in the history of the world have the merchants of obscenity, the teachers of unnatural sex acts, had available to them the modern facilities for disseminating this filth. High-speed presses, rapid transportation, mass distribution: all have combined to put the vilest obscenity within reach of every man, woman, and child in the country."—George Putnam, narrator.
"This same type of rot and decay caused sixteen of the nineteen major civilizations to vanish from the Earth. Magnificent Egypt, classical Greece, imperial Rome, all crumbled away not because of the strength of the aggressor, but because of moral decay from within. But we are in a unique position to cure our own ills: our Constitution was written by men who put their trust in God and founded a government based in His laws. These laws are on our side. We have a constitutional guarantee of protection against obscenity. And, in this day especially, we must seek to deliver ourselves from this twisting, torturing evil. We must save our nation from decay and deliver our children from the horrors of perversion. We must make our land, 'the land of the free', a safe home. Oh, God, deliver us, Americans, from evil."—George Putnam, narrator (closing words).
"This moral decay weakens our resistance to the onslaught of the communist masters of deceit." —George Putnam, narrator.

Larry 'Bud' Melman aka Calvert DeForest
Calvert DeForest (July 23, 1921 – March 19, 2007), also known by his character Larry "Bud" Melman, was an American actor and comedian, best known for his appearances on Late Night with David Letterman and the Late Show with David Letterman.
Calvert DeForest as Larry "Bud" Melman giving hot towels out at the Port Authority as people get off the bus. Nov. 16, 1983
Late Night with David Letterman, Custom Made Show #2 (1984). Dave puts Larry in a bear suit and sends him down the hall to get change.
David Letterman pays tribute to the late Calvert Deforest (aka Larry "Bud" Melman)
Little has been published about his early life. He was born to Calvert Martin DeForest, M.D., a physician who died in 1949, and Mabelle (Taylor) DeForest. He was a cousin of actor DeForest Kelley of Star Trek fame, and Bebe Daniels, a silent film star who survived the introduction of sound. Radio pioneer Lee De Forest was Daniels's second cousin. The exact family connection of Lee De Forest to Calvert DeForest is unclear.
DeForest attended Poly Prep Country Day School in Brooklyn, New York. He worked for many years for the large pharmaceutical company Parke Davis, which was later acquired by Pfizer. He had aspirations of acting but was discouraged by his mother, who was briefly an actress herself. After her death in 1969, DeForest did part-time backstage work, which eventually led to acting work.
Work with David Letterman
He is credited with four films from 1972 to 1982 and, after his first appearance with David Letterman, appeared in 15 other films or television shows.
The Associated Press noted: "DeForest's gnomish face was the first to greet viewers when Letterman's NBC show debuted on February 1, 1982, offering a parody of the prologue to the Boris Karloff film Frankenstein. 'It was the greatest thing that had happened in my life,' he once said of his first Letterman appearance."
The Melman character also opened Letterman's first CBS show under his own name, but as essentially the same character, when Letterman moved from NBC to CBS in 1993. The name change was made because the character of "Larry 'Bud' Melman" was considered the intellectual property of NBC. Melman also appeared as "Kenny The Gardener". He continued to appear on Letterman's show until his 81st birthday in 2002 before retiring from acting. DeForest often "drew laughs by his bizarre juxtaposition as a Late Show correspondent at events such as the 1994 Winter Olympics in Norway and the Woodstock anniversary concert that year." One of DeForest's more memorable skits came on Letterman's May 13, 1994, show. The host stated Johnny Carson would announce the evening's Top 10 list, at which point DeForest, as Melman, appeared as "Johnny Carson." On DeForest's exit, the real Johnny Carson appeared in what would prove Carson's last television appearance. DeForest was also noted for his remote interviews in which he would ask the interviewee a question, but pitch the microphone to the interviewee too quickly, resulting in a fade out of the last part of the question.
Letterman noted after DeForest's death: "Everyone always wondered if Calvert was an actor playing a character, but in reality he was just himself: a genuine, modest and nice man. To our staff and to our viewers, he was a beloved and valued part of our show, and we will miss him." When asked how he'd like to be remembered, DeForest responded "Just being able to make people laugh and knowing people enjoyed my humor. I also hope I haven't offended anyone through the years."
He was co-host (in charge of the digital switcher) on the local SF Bay Area radio program, 10@10, on KFOG-FM with Dave Morey.
In 1985, he appeared in the music video for the Run-DMC song "King of Rock" as a security guard.
In 1989, he appeared in the Special Ed video for the song "Think About it" as the villainous Dr. Norecords.
In 1994, he wrote a humor book called Cheap Advice.
In the late 1990s, he often appeared in various television ads including ones for Tropicana Twister, 1-800-Collect and Little Caesars.
DeForest also appeared on the hit albums Americana and Ixnay on the Hombre by The Offspring, doing some of the voices that can be heard before and after certain tracks. In late March 2007, a 20-minute clip of DeForest recording the voices for their album was posted on The Offspring's website.
He appeared at Woodstock 1994 to announce Nine Inch Nails late night set by proclaiming, "Ladies and gentlemen, punch your balls off and please welcome Nine Inch Nails!"
He appeared on the first episode of the 1996 series The Dana Carvey Show on ABC.
He appeared as one of the clubhouse gang in an episode of Pee-wee's Playhouse.
After years of poor health, DeForest died at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip, New York, on Long Island, on March 19, 2007. Per his request, no funeral services were held; he was cremated and his remains were interred at Pinelawn Cemetery, Farmingdale, New York. By all press accounts, he left no surviving relatives.

George Denis Patrick Carlin (May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008) was an American stand-up comedian, social critic, satirist, actor, and writer/author who won five Grammy Awards for his comedy albums. Carlin was noted for his black humor as well as his thoughts on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and various taboo subjects. Carlin and his "Seven Dirty Words" comedy routine were central to the 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a 5–4 decision by the justices affirmed the government's power to regulate indecent material on the public airwaves.
The first of his 14 stand-up comedy specials for HBO was filmed in 1977. From the late 1980s, Carlin's routines focused on socio-cultural criticism of modern American society. He often commented on contemporary political issues in the United States and satirized the excesses of American culture. In 2004, Carlin placed second on the Comedy Central list of the 100 greatest stand-up comedians of all time, ahead of Lenny Bruce and behind Richard Pryor. He was a frequent performer and guest host on The Tonight Show during the three-decadeJohnny Carson era, and hosted the first episode of Saturday Night Live. His final HBO special,It's Bad for Ya, was filmed less than four months before his death. In 2008, he was posthumously awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

BkiUd0k4uzlh5xHhzX9Y | So… things have been a bit hectic around here. I had to change my day job at three weeks notice, which was exciting. While I haven't been communicating much I have been working on Wanderer book 5.
As well as writing 16,000 words I've completely outlined the rest of the book. That's actually unusual for me, but with so many existing threads (and some new ones) to draw together it was really needed. I've found a great balance between locking down all the major ideas and events but still leaving space for the story to grow organically. The major themes are locked in (but may evolve) but the story is still exciting to write.
In other news, the Wanderer's Escape audiobook has now been out for a little over a month and already has 139 sales. Joel did an amazing job and great reviews are coming in already. In case you missed it, not only can you win a copy of the audiobook you can also buy it for a massive discount. See this blog for details.
Glad to see progress on #5. Can't wait !!!
Tried to get the audio book but I guess I need to remove the original Wanderers Escape in order to be able to get the audio. When I try to get it I am told I already have the book and that is as far as I can get.
If you've already got the ebook then you should just be able to go to the amazon page for it and choose the audiobook directly for $1.99 – let me know if that doesn't work and I'll dig into it.
keep up the good work. It's hard waiting for book 5.
I know how much I hate waiting for new books, it's really hard being on the other side. Sometimes it seems progress is so slow but my new plan of writing at least 500 words per day every weekday and over the weekend is helping to keep me at it. Having worked out the main plot is making things much easier too, a lot less stuffing up my head and a lot more space to just write the current scene as well as I can!
Read all four books of the Wanderer. All are most excellent. I'm looking forward to book 5. Hopefully you'll give us a hint of Teeko's origin. That could be another book. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 |
BkiUdds5qhLAB45oJdjR | When Man with Down Syndrome Discovers His Bike Was Stolen, Community Steps In To Help
By Kim Davis
Published September 30, 2019 at 9:48am
Community members in Calexico, California, rallied together to help one of their longstanding residents, a 57-year-old man with Down syndrome, after his bicycle was stolen.
For years, Gerardo "Eddie" Paez has been a Calexico community fixture. He has lived in Calexico for approximately 28 years, and is often seen riding his customized, low-riding bicycle — his primary means of transportation.
He rides his bicycle in the Christmas parade each year, and is an eager participant in the city's annual celebration of World Down Syndrome Day.
Community organizations have given Eddie a key to the city and have recognized him as honorary chief of police for a day.
"Everybody in the community of Calexico, they love him," David Paez, Eddie's nephew, told Imperial Valley Press. "From business owners to grandmas, everybody knows him. I don't think Calexico would be the same without him. He is Mr. Calexico."
So when Mr. Calexico's bicycle was stolen from outside a local 99 Cents Only store, Eddie and his fellow community members were distraught.
Eddie used his bicycle every day as his primary mode of transportation. David Paez described the chrome, $500-dollar customized lowrider bicycle as his uncle's "whole world."
"He's really careful with his bike," David Paez said. "He won't let anybody ride it. His bike is everything to him."
Some people have no heart, I don't get how someone can steal a bike. Especially from someone with such a pretty soul.
No voy a hacer corajes, se me hace tan bonito que la gente ayudàra https://t.co/SYqmZI5RjF
— Cisco Berrones (@CiscoNeverMind) September 25, 2019
Eddie promptly reported the stolen bicycle to the police. As word of the cruel theft spread, community members began raising money to buy Eddie a new bike.
Within one day, community members donated over $1,000 to a GoFundMe campaign to replace Eddie's bicycle. At the same time, Eddie's childhood friend, Fernando Tamayo, bought his old friend a new bike and had it shipped from Las Vegas.

Now, Eddie is looking forward to having not just one, but two bicycles to ride and enjoy.
David Paez said his uncle was thrilled when he told him the good news.
"He was all happy, yelling through the phone. Knowing him, he's probably going to be riding them both," David Paez said.
He added that Eddie is an independent and hard worker, who would have earned the money for a new bicycle himself if he needed to.
"He would've put it on himself to save money to get a new bike," Paez said. "He would've gone out there, worked at Cuchis and the barbershop — he wouldn't stay sitting down. He always worked for what he wants."
Not only will Eddie have two new rides to sport around town, but he will also carry the love and camaraderie of his friends in his heart.

BkiUdRk5qhDACwYJXF8y | Single brain cells reveal genes controlling formation, development
David Tenenbaum, University Communications
In one of the first studies to "read" the genetic activity inside individual brain cells, University of Wisconsin—Madison neuroscientist Xinyu Zhao has identified the genetic machinery that causes maturation in a young nerve cell. The cells under study came from the hippocampus, a memory-related structure that is the only place in a mammal's brain where new neurons can form throughout life.
Since newly formed neurons were discovered in the hippocampus more than 20 years ago, scientists have identified the many roles they play in learning and memory. However, mystery continues to surround the genetic controls that regulate the formation of the delicate structures and the chemicals necessary for neural communication, Zhao says.
In the 1990s, Zhao worked as a postdoctoral fellow with Fred Gage at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in California, site of groundbreaking discoveries on the formation of new neurons in the hippocampus. Until the discovery of this "adult neurogenesis," scientists thought that the brain essentially had to make do with the supply of neurons it acquired at birth.
The limited supply of new neurons that grows in the hippocampus throughout the lifespan has a role in memory, and perhaps in recovery from degenerative disease.
Zhao, now a professor of neuroscience at UW–Madison, has been probing the adult neurogenesis puzzle for most of her scientific career. "While trying to understand the mechanism that regulates adult neurogenesis, I am also using adult neurogenesis as a model to study brain development and developmental diseases," she says. "In lab animals, adult neurogenesis provides a source of cells that can show us how a neural stem cell develops into a fully-formed neuron."

As might be expected for an organ as fantastically complex as the brain, "neurons come in many varieties," Zhao says, "and their genetic activity changes as they mature. To really understand this process, we need to know which genes are active, and when."
Under study, a group of neurons might average out, which would mask key distinctions at different stages. "When you look at individual cells you can see a lot more information than you can in groups," Zhao says.
Imagine describing the monarch butterfly. Observing the larval stage, you would conclude it's a caterpillar. Watching the insect stage, you would call it a butterfly. But what would you conclude from looking at a mix of caterpillars and butterflies?
The situation in developing neurons is even more confusing, Zhao says. "There are so many different types of neurons, and the stage of development is also critical for understanding the development process."
The technology to leap this hurdle, which can isolate individual neurons so their genes can be extracted, was first used on neurons in 2014.
Taking young neurons from the hippocampus of adult mice, postdoctoral fellows Yu Gao and Feifei Wang (now a member of the faculty at Fudan University in Shanghai) isolated 84 single neurons that had differentiated from neural stem cells at least three days before — meaning they had started, but not completed, the transformation to a mature neuron.
Once the data on gene activation was assembled, Brian Eisinger, another postdoctoral fellow with expertise in bioinformatics, performed intensive analysis on the rising and falling activity of thousands of genes.
The gene activation profiles of individual cells revealed that the developing neurons go through four stages. But the results also revealed hints about the origin of common neurological conditions.
First, the most active genes during the stem cell phase overlapped significantly with genes implicated in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. "It surprised us to see that genes associated with the stem cell life stage are highly represented in these neurodegenerative diseases," says Zhao. "We do not know the significance, but it's possible that these conditions are more related to stem cell impairment than we thought."
Second, the gene exhibiting increased activity during neuron maturation overlapped with genes associated with autism. That picture is complex, Zhao acknowledges, as thousands of genes are affected in some way in autism.
"This was an exploratory analysis that may open a new window on understanding complex disorders like autism," Zhao says. "Imagine if you unexpectedly saw a mountain lion's paw print in the forest. Now you would wonder if the lion explained a sudden shortfall of deer in the forest, but you would not know until you looked further."
Junior biochemistry student Laurel Kelnhofer and graduate student Emily Jobe also contributed to the study, published today in the journal Cerebral Cortex.
Although papers using single-cell analysis of mammalian neurons have begun to appear in the last year, they focused on large populations of neurons, Zhao says. "Ours is the first single-cell analysis in adult-born new neurons. Our challenge was that these are scarce, so we had to work hard to optimize our cell isolation procedure."
The study could only be performed at a world-class research institution like UW–Madison, Zhao added. "The Comprehensive Cancer Center provided the cell sorter we needed to get started. The Waisman Center, where I study mechanisms of brain development, had state-of-the-art confocal microscopes and an early model of the single-cell analyzer. The Biotechnology Center has the latest instruments for RNA quantification and ultra-fast RNA sequencing. To advance science, we needed all of these instruments — and the scientists who know how to run them."
The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Waisman Center, the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation and the Vilas Trust.

BkiUbVU5qg5A50uBv-fp | As a provider of healthcare for patients, your practice is required to ensure that patient data is secure and adequately protected.
Healthcare organizations such as chiropractic practices are regulated by HIPAA and must complete a security risk assessment to look for possible threats to patient information.
If your clinic has not completed a risk assessment yet, here are some tips and more information on this process.
This rule begins with analysis. Your security risk assessment will help you identify security strengths and weaknesses so that you can sufficiently protect your patients' information.
Your security risk assessment will help you correct potential data security problems before they happen. As such, avoiding a risk assessment may result in these threats manifesting themselves.
To conduct your own risk assessment, review the security rule and the assessment requirements that apply to your organization. As long as your own assessment method meets security rule standards, you may use your own customized assessment.
Generally speaking, these standards require that your assessment review every aspect of patient data recording, use, access, and transmission. For example, you will be reviewing how staff members in your clinic login and use your EHR, how paper records are handled and stored, what access vendors and consultants have to your patients' data, and other issues.
Although not required, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) has a downloadable tool available that helps you review your practice's compliance by asking 156 questions about your clinic. These are straightforward "yes" and "no" questions designed to reveal your practice's security risks. From there, you can use your answers to suggest areas where you need to improve your patient information security.
Because risk assessments are such an important prevention strategy, your clinic should make it a priority to review your patient information use. As you conduct your assessment, document each question and answer carefully, providing a plan to address each area of weakness you identify throughout the process.

Pope Francis to Declare St. Irenaeus a Doctor of the Church with Title 'Doctor of Unity'
St. Irenaeus was a second-century bishop and writer revered by both Catholics and Orthodox Christians and known for refuting the heresies of Gnosticism with a defense of both Christ's humanity and divinity.

Courtney Mares/CNA Vatican October 7, 2021
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis said on Thursday that he plans to declare St. Irenaeus of Lyon a Doctor of the Church with the title "Doctor unitatis," meaning "Doctor of Unity."
The Pope made the announcement in a speech to the St. Irenaeus Working Group, a group of Catholic and Orthodox theologians who conducted a study together on synodality and primacy.
Vatican Media.
"Your patron, St. Irenaeus of Lyon — whom soon I will willingly declare a Doctor of the Church with the title Doctor unitatis — came from the East, exercised his episcopal ministry in the West, and was a great spiritual and theological bridge between Eastern and Western Christians," Pope Francis said on Oct. 7.
The U.S. bishops voted last year in favor of having St. Irenaeus named a doctor of the Church at the request of Cardinal Philippe Barbarin, the then archbishop of Lyon, southern France, and sent their approval to the Vatican for the pope's consideration.
"His name, Irenaeus, contains the word 'peace,'" Pope Francis said. "We know that the Lord's peace is not a 'negotiated' peace, the fruit of agreements meant to safeguard interests, but a peace that reconciles, that brings together in unity. That is the peace of Jesus."
The Pope spoke about synodality and primacy during his meeting with the St. Irenaeus Working Group, a joint Orthodox-Catholic working group from the Institute for Ecumenical Studies at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas in Rome.
"A fruitful approach to primacy in theological and ecumenical dialogues must necessarily be grounded in a reflection on synodality. There is no other way." Pope Francis said.
"I have frequently expressed my conviction that in a synodal Church, greater light can be shed on the exercise of the Petrine primacy."
Petrine primacy refers to the absolute authority of the Pope as a pastor and governor with immediate and direct jurisdiction over the whole Church.
The primacy of the Bishop of Rome is one of the major issues of disagreement that has kept Orthodox Christians apart from the Catholic Church. The Eastern Orthodox have a conciliar model of the Church, rather than a centralized authority.
Pope Francis thanked the group for its recently issued study, "Serving Communion: Re-thinking the Relationship between Primacy and Synodality."
"Through the constructive patience of dialogue, especially with the Orthodox Churches, we have come to understand more fully that in the Church primacy and synodality are not two competing principles to be kept in balance, but two realities that establish and sustain one another in the service of communion," the Pope said.
"Just as the primacy presupposes the exercise of synodality, so synodality entails the exercise of primacy."
Pope Francis expressed hope that the Catholic Church's upcoming synod on synodality will allow Catholics around the world to reflect on synodality and Petrine primacy.
The Pope will kick off the Church's three-year synodal process this weekend with a Mass on Oct. 10. All dioceses have also been invited to offer an opening Mass the following Sunday on Oct. 17.
"I am confident that, with the help of God, the synodal process that will begin in the coming days in every Catholic diocese will also be an opportunity for deeper reflection on this important aspect, together with other Christians," Pope Francis said.
Pope Francis noted that the group of Orthodox and Catholic scholars had chosen St. Irenaeus as their patron.
"Dear friends, with the help of God, you too are working to break down dividing walls and to build bridges of communion," he added.
Cardinal Kurt Koch, the president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, also participated in the papal audience with the St. Irenaeus working group.
The cardinal has argued that strengthening synodality is "the most important contribution" that the Catholic Church can make to ecumenical dialogue, especially dialogue with the Orthodox.
"This synod will not only be an important event in the Catholic Church, but it will contain a significant ecumenical message, since synodality is an issue that also moves ecumenism, and moves it in depth," Cardinal Koch wrote in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano on Jan. 18.
He pointed to the 2007 Declaration of Ravenna, in which Catholic and Orthodox theologians agreed that the bishop of Rome was the "protos," or first among patriarchs, before the separation of East and West.
"The fact that the two dialogue partners were able to declare together for the first time that the Church is structured synodally at all levels and therefore also at the universal level, and that she needs a protos is an important milestone in Catholic-Orthodox dialogue," he said.
For this step to bear fruit in the future, Cardinal Koch wrote, it is necessary to deepen the relationship between synodality and primacy.

BkiUdWo5qhLA7iWj60o1 | We tried to make it to Silverthorn (from Denver) lastnight, but that was a big, fat fail. With the amount of snow and pile-ups on i70, there was no way.
We finally made it up earlier this afternoon and are now hanging out in a beautiful condo off of Ryan Gulch Rd.
Where to? Breck? Keystone? Beaver Creek? The opportunities are abundant out here! Where are you headed this weekend? Hopefully somewhere outside that's inspiring.
A show of hands… How many people have eaten at this delicious place at all hours of the day?
Our hand is totally raised right now.
Love the beautiful neon sign at this Colfax staple.
Can't beat the holidays? That's cool – join 'em. Why not? Tons of holiday events around Denver are *FREE* and actually quite delightful. Attending them can lift your spirits and get you back to that kiddie Christmas-like feeling you had when first watching Miracle on 34th Street.
Don't be a grinch – get out there and get in the spirit with these super fun activities for you, your friends, and family to all enjoy.
To some, downtown Denver looks like this map to the left. Lots of sturdy neighborhood names that can be chopped into quirky little nicknames, like "LoHi" (lower Highlands), "Cap Hill" (Capitol Hill), and "LoDo" (Lower Downtown).
It can get confusing, frustrating, and pretty depressing trying to figure out where to live in Denver proper. Not only that, with apartments and homes going faster than they're being listed, "acting fast" a lot of times is too slow.
Saturday, September 13th, marked the day of the 8th annual Babes in Bikeland event, bringing over 400 women / transgender / femme bike riders together to roam the streets of Minneapolis.

With both a manifest of destinations and a time limit provided, how you finished (or mapped your route) was up to you!

BkiUdaA4eIXgu5UZfwEK | When it comes to new home construction, it is much simpler to adopt new techniques when you are building from scratch, therefore the new - home market tends to have more than its fair share of inventive products to offer.
Before any of these new products come to the market however, they are first tested by Home Innovation Research Labs which is a company that works with manufacturers to test building products and appliances. At the request of the manufacturer the lab will do such things as open and shut a door 10,000 times or test how new framing techniques will withstand high winds. "The goal is to remove barriers to innovation in the housing industry," said by Michelle Desiderio VP of innovation services at Home Innovation Research Labs.
Environmentally friendly construction is also at the forefront of this change in how new – construction is shaping, for example we are seeing more use of natural materials such as stone and cork. Another example of this growing trend is the use of mineral wool for insulation. This material is replacing the traditional spray foam insulation system that contains some fairly nasty chemicals." Another added bonus is that this natural alternative is both flame – retardant and difficult for insects to penetrate. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUfpO6NNjgB0Ss4fLL | A memorial service for Tamara Renee Bennett, 48, of North Bend, will be held at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 29 at the Christian Church in Moorhead, Iowa.
Tamara was born premature Feb. 23, 1970 in Onawa, Iowa at 4 pounds, 13 ounces, to Barbara and Edwin Bennett. She passed away way too soon and way too young July 31, 2018 at Bay Area Hospital in Coos Bay, with her mother, father, and son by her side.
Tamara's parents divorced when she was 5 years old. Tamara had a son, Shannon Patrick Bennett who was born May 22, 1993. Tamara also had a brother, Brian (Dec. 14, 1972 – Dec. 18, 1994) who she always protected and disciplined as a second mother, when her mother was working for the government in San Diego, Calif.
Tamara went to school in San Diego and Los Angeles, Calif. through high school. Education was always an important part of Tamara's life. Tamara loved San Diego and was not happy in Los Angeles, causing her to quit high school.
She later got her GED then went on to get her Associate's degree in Iowa, then on to her bachelor's degree, also in Iowa. Tamara worked very hard, sometimes with two or three jobs at a time to support herself and her son and attending college. She taught English as a Second Language (ESL) and was loved by her students. Tamara went on to social work at Jackson Recovery in Sioux City, Iowa, where she helped families receive benefits. Later, Tamara felt that it was better to provide alcohol and drug prevention to avert problems before they occurred. She was asked to teach prevention in several counties around Sioux City, where she lived, including invitations to speak at the military base in the area where she educated hundreds of military personnel. She was born to teach, it was in her blood and she did it very well. She loved and cared for people, especially the downtrodden, or those that she felt were left out and diminished in life. She was kind and loving toward those that had difficulties and tried to help them move forward in life.
Tamara found out she had cancer that had metastasized in Sept. 2016, after an extended period with a bad cough. She started chemotherapy and radiation and was found to be cancer free in March 2017, at which time she moved to Oregon to live on the coast with her mother and father. In July, she was diagnosed with cancer again; however it had spread even further.
Tamara always had a great work ethic and passed this on to her son, Shannon, who now lives in Oregon as well. Shannon had lived in Oregon, then moved back to Iowa to be near his mother during treatment, then moved back to Oregon when Tamara moved to Oregon.
Tamara is survived by her mother, Barbara Cornell; father, Charles Cornell; son, Shannon Patrick Bennett, all of Oregon; aunt, Rosemary Nichols; uncle, Thomas DeLance; and cousins, Thomas, Scott, Kulie , Tyler, Kylee, Kimberly, Teri, Devon, and Garrett , from Iowa.
She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Margaret Eleanor (Hamman) DeLance; grandfather, Lyle Darrel DeLance; brother, Brian Bennett; aunt, Joni Knutson; and her birth father, Edwin Bennett. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Liz Renay, Stripper Who Dated Mobster Mickey Cohen, Dies at 80
February 12, 2007 / Jon Ponder / 1 Comment
When Liz Renay accompanied her boyfriend, Mickey Cohen, then the former "King of the Sunset Strip," to the fights, it was her habit to wear a full length fur coat and nothing else. At a certain point during the evening, she would stand up, turn to face the audience, open the coat and give the guys a show.
Outrageous? Sure. But par for the course for the bigger-than-life Ms. Renay, who died in Las Vegas on Jan. 22, 2007. She was 80.
Renay met Mickey Cohen when she moved to town in 1957, five or so years after his days as the king of the Sunset Strip had ended. He'd served time on tax evasion charges and remained a constant target of investigation.
A small-town girl who'd moved to New York and become a nightclub entertainer, Liz was no stranger to the underworld but still found herself unprepared for life as a mob moll:
In 1959, she was indicted on five counts of perjury. And in 1961 she served 27 months at Terminal Island federal prison in Los Angeles.
"I have paid a dear price for the mistake I made, and I hope the public will be forgiving," she told reporters who met her at the prison gate when she was released. "I wanted to protect Mickey. I felt I owed him that. I couldn't deliberately hurt someone who had been nice to me."
At the time, Cohen was serving a 15-year sentence for income tax evasion.
"It sure knocked the hell out of my career when I went to Terminal Island," Renay told the Phoenix New Times in 1998. "I would have been a big star had I not gone to prison."
In 1972, she worked as a stripper at the Body Shop on the Sunset Strip:
She didn't need to work. She was married to her sixth husband, millionaire entrepreneur Tom Freeman, who did not want her to take the strip joint job. But who was he to argue? "She's an exhibitionist," he told The Times. At the time, Renay had recently published her best-selling autobiography, "My Face for the World to See."
In 1974, she had another brush with the law when she was unsuccessfully charged with indecent exposure after she'd run naked down Hollywood Boulevard to promote a burlesque show at the Ivar in Holywood.
In 1977, Liz created an entirely new fan base and won eternal fame for her portrayal of Muffy St. Jacque in John Waters' "Desperate Living.".
Born Pearl Elizabeth Dobbins in Chandler, Ariz., she was married seven times, and had a son and daughter. She and her daughter Brenda did a mother-daughter strip act in the 1970s. | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdfDxaKgT2YGEnAD6 | Ian Monat and Martin Guerrero are the CEO & co-founders of rhythm Sparkling Hemp Beverages, a functional wellness brand that crafts and sells the best-tasting, ready-to-drink beverages infused with adaptogens, superfoods and U.S. grown hemp extract. Since rhythm's launch in August of 2020, the brand has quickly expanded into over 200 wholesale points of distribution across 20 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Discovering the benefits of CBD
Before entering the hemp space, Monat was a wine & spirits professional by day and gigging bass player by night. In the music business, Monat was considered a 'weekend warrior.' His band played a lot of improvisational music and while on stage, he realized how much the clear, uplifting effects of hemp helped with mood, focus, and dexterity, but later was disappointed that every hemp-infused beverage option he tried tasted poorly or was loaded with sugar. Similarly, Guerrero enjoyed the benefits of CBD to combat his anxiety and stress, but didn't care for the form factors available to him. A conversation led to a plan, and that's when rhythm was born.
Focus on wellness, premium ingredients
From the onset, the goal was to not just create another sparkling water with added hemp, as there were quite a few of those on the market already. Creating a functional beverage with purpose, intention, was the goal. Knowing that consumers primarily use CBD for help with sleep, focus, anxiety, pain and inflammation, we set out to create a line of beverages that addresses each of those individual need states, and does it with a Better-For-You label. There are no corners cut or sacrifices when it comes to being sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan, keto-friendly and low calorie. We always use natural ingredients and use organic ingredients when available.
We want to thank you for visiting us here and hope you'll give rhythm a try, if you haven't yet (what are you waiting for?). We believe beverages are the best way to consume CBD and that rhythm will continue to lead the way in flavor and function. Please keep in touch by subscribing to our email newsletter or by following us on Instagram at @drinkrhythm.

STEVENS POINT - A 20-year-old man accused of starting a fire last year at Dollar General in Stevens Point was convicted Friday of a related charge.
Brian Kraus, of Stevens Point, was an employee at Dollar General when he used a lighter and disposable plates to start a fire May 7, 2015, inside the store. Nobody was hurt in the fire, but customers were forced to flee the store before firefighters arrived.
Kraus initially told police he was cooking food in a microwave in the back of the store and thought that may have caused the fire, according to a criminal complaint. But a detective reviewed surveillance footage from the store and found discrepancies with Kraus' story.

Kraus later admitted to starting the fire on purpose using the items he took from the store, the complaint says.
Kraus appeared Friday in Portage County Circuit Court and pleaded no contest to arson of a building, which is a felony with a maximum penalty of 40 years in prison.
Portage County District Attorney Louis Molepske said he agreed to recommend Kraus be sentenced to four years in prison, followed by nine years of extended supervision. Molepske agreed to dismiss other charges filed against Kraus after he was accused of helping another inmate at the Portage County Jail attempt suicide.
Kraus had previously pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, but withdrew that plea Friday. Kraus is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 21.

This is a very early and possibly unique Confederate cavalry saber, possibly even a cavalry officer's saber, by Louis Froelich. It uses a crudely cast, heavy, thick guard, with the side branches branching off from the knucklebow at two different points in a typically Froelich fashion. The heaviness of the casting, in marked contrast to some of his officer's swords, can be seen on some of his other cavalry sabers- note the saber at left on page 60 of McAden and Fonvielle, which also shares an unfinished underside on the guard plainly showing its sand casting. The pommel shows his typical, smooth profile, but has a tang mound. The leather grip wrap is very good with some minor flaking and losses to the finish, but no holes, just a little wood visible next to the guard. The wire binding is complete and intact, consisting of two loosely, irregularly twisted strands of coiled wire.
The blade is 35-inches long with an unstopped fuller, smooth metal, muted silver gray in color with scattered dark gray spots, single edged and gently curving in typical cavalry saber form. There are some nicks to the edge of the blade about a third of the way out. The tip is good, but has a slight bend, the result of a missing drag on the scabbard.
The scabbard is leather covered with reverse seam and wood lined. The wood extends a few inches beyond the leather, which is solid, but shows a good deal of flaking to the finish, but is generally black in color with some abrasion to brown. The brass mounts match the hilt in the heaviness of the casting. The upper mount is cast with an integral flat throat and is very angular. The ring band is made of separate, flat brass strap and is actually pinned in place. The middle mount appears very unusual at first, circular, with notches at top and bottom and flat, integral, ring band, but seems rather a version of the throat on some Froelich officer's swords that has a semicircular flange coming down on either side of the scabbard- see McAden and Fonvielle p.39 left and middle, p.46 bottom and 48 right, and p.55 bottom right. In this case it might be more accurate to think of the middle mount has having a similar flange extending up and down the scabbard from the ring band. The form of the drag, of course, is unknown.
The sword is unmarked, as is to be expected, though the upper mount has a very neatly done "A.A." lightly scratched into it. This is likely an owner, though it one person wondered whether it might have been Alexander Adrian, one of Froelich's employees at Wilmington between September 1861 and March 1863 (see M&F, p.38.) Froelich emigrated from Bavaria to the U.S. by way of England and by early 1861 was settled in Wilmington, NC, where he first appears as an employee of Wilmington Button Manufactory, run by two fellow German immigrants. That business closed in mid-summer 1861, but Froelich is mentioned soon after as making arms and by September he was in business with a partner as the Wilmington Sword Manufactory. He produced arms throughout the war, with some pauses, which was a tribute to his determination: he survived his partner's dishonest business dealings, an outbreak of Yellow Fever, fires, federal cavalry raids, a move from Wilmington to Kenansville, and changes of business name to the Confederate States Arms Factory and Confederate States Armory. All the while, he turned out a large assortment of swords, sabers, bayonets, sword bayonets, pikes, knives, axes, accouterments and other vital military supplies. Formerly in the collection of Kevin Hoffman, this is a very interesting example of his work. [sr] [ph:L]

Associated: Mads Mikkelsen Gives an Update on 'Indiana Jones 5'
Mads Mikkelsen's profession adjusted following 'Casino Royale'
The Danish actor starred in 1996's Pusher, which as he informed Vulture, became a cult film in Denmark. He regularly worked in the several years next, but Daniel Craig's On line casino Royale sped up his job in the United States movie business. There ended up some downsides to that, like not acquiring significantly say in what he auditioned for. He advised Vulture:
I received an American agent and it was like, 'OK, so you did a Bond film. Now matters are occurring. Transfer more than there and devote some time and do all the conferences and the chitchat and some auditions.' I by no means had the probability to assume about irrespective of whether it was a movie I desired to be in or not, I just did them all. Some of the things was exciting. And other points were being just like — this is the place I felt you can totally drop your assurance as an actor. Standing in an workplace with a person who looks down at his paper, and you fake you have prolonged arms and say a single line.
Now, Mikkelsen has much more say in the roles he seeks out. He explained to Collider he was given the script for Indiana Jones 5 and was requested to assistance create his character, instead than obtaining to audition.
"It was everything I wished it to be, so that was just wonderful," he stated.

Mads Mikkelsen auditioned for Mr. Wonderful in 'The Great Four'
That "pretend you have extended arms" line was a immediate reference to his audition for 2005's Amazing 4. The movie starred Chris Evans, Jessica Alba, Ioan Gruffudd, and Michael Chiklis. Mikkelsen auditioned for Gruffudd's section, Reed Richards/Mr. Great. And he reported the experience shot down his self confidence due to the fact of a preposterous inquire. He reported:
"A great close friend of mine bought it, Ioan Gruffudd. I know a great deal of casting is just very first impressions — is there everything there that reminds the producer and the director of the character they're wanting for? But I locate it rude to check with persons to arrive into a room and say a person line even though pretending you have 80-foot arms like the rubber guy. 'Grab that cup of coffee more than there' — it is like, 'Are you mad? There's not even a scene in this article.' It was kind of humiliating.
He told The Shortlist he not only hated the expertise, but he also walked out of the place and denied thought for the function.
"I consider I walked out on the Superb Four one," he mentioned. "I think I truly stated, 'I just can't do it. It's not about you, I'm sorry, this is erroneous.'"
Mikkelsen could possibly have opted out of the prospect to perform a hero, but that does not mean he loves often taking part in a villain. He informed Vulture he's Alright with continually enjoying the bad dude in U.S. videos mainly because he's this kind of a sought just after major gentleman in other nations.
"I do them back household," the Danish actor stated. "I do them in France. I have done it in Sweden. Even Spain."
Maintain on providing him villain roles. He's good.

Web deployment task failed. (The maximum number of connections for this site has been exceeded. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_EXCEEDED_MAX_SITE_CONNECTIONS.)
I am using visual studio 2012
A: I was having the same issue but after restarting management service it worked for me.
Here are the steps:
*
*Go to your windows server where IIS Server configured.
*Control Panel => System and Security => Administrative Tools => Services.
*In the Services. Restart Web Deployment Agent Service and Web Management Service
Give a try now to web deploy.
A: This may occur if you are connecting to the internet via a 3G dongle or card.
I have the same error and earlier in my warnings was "Retrying the sync because a socket error (10054) occurred" I'm stuck on a 3G connection today and getting this for the 1st time so presume these are related.
A: I know that it's been a long time ago, but I was struggling with the same issue lately. For me, it helped to restart the Web Management Service.
It might hang in Stopping status - if so, you can forcibly kill it:
First, open cmd with elevated privileges, and use sc queryex wmsvc command to find out the PID of the service.
Then, use taskkill /PID [the pid] /F command to kill the process. After that, you just start it again with services.msc
Hope it'll help :)
A: I had a similar problem trying to publish a WebSite on Azure. I solved it by restarting the website from azure management. If you're deploying to IIS, I suggest to try a restart or a stop and start for your website and try publishing again.

BkiUbqY5qsNCPe9kHoJ_ | About Dance Moves
An Edmonton-Grown Business
All About Passion
In recognition of her creation of Dance Moves over 40 years ago, Linda was honoured with the Global Woman of Vision award in January, 2015. Global's Woman of Vision celebrates the accomplishments of outstanding Edmonton women — women who have implemented their passion and whose personal dedication and actions inspire us all. "The community within the Dance Moves classes is strong," Linda says. "People come in and socialize and have fun with their friends. It's not as much about doing the routines properly as it is about having fun, working out, seeing your friends, and having a good time." From children as young as eight to women as old as 90, Linda and her talented instructors focus on building relationships as well as building dance routines. "People come just to see their friends and exercise," Linda says. "It's about the heart of the program, about the connection with everyone getting together. Dance is an expression of your soul and you become connected with the people you dance with."

BkiUcyTxK0wg09FXVR3K | ISHPEMING – The newest inductees to the U.S. National Ski Hall of Fame will be welcomed this weekend.
Four new members will be added to the hall as the Class of 2005.
The formal induction ceremony will be at 6 p.m. Friday at Marquette's UpFront and Company with the traditional Kiwanis breakfast at 9 a.m. Saturday at C.L. Phelps Middle School in Ishpeming. An open house for the public will conclude the weekend celebration at 2 p.m. Saturday with a Placement Ceremony at the hall in which the inductees will hang photos of themselves in the Honors Court.
David 'Darcy' Brown, president of Aspen Ski Corporation for 20 years and one of the founders of the National Ski Areas Association. Brown, 93, was one of the chief investors in Aspen's first chairlift in 1946.
He became the president and general manager of the company in 1957. But his pioneering spirit, work ethic and banking brilliance would transform the struggling resort into a star of the ski industry.
When Brown started as Aspen president he supervised a staff of 25, and when he left 22 years later it had grown to 1,200. During his tenure, the company expanded Aspen in Colorado to include Buttermilk, Snowmass and Breckenridge. In Canada, the company also acquired Mount Tremblant in Quebec and an interest in Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia. Volume also quadrupled from 259,000 skier visits during the winter of 1964-65 to 1.23 million in 1978-79, when the company was sold to Twentieth Century-Fox and Brown retired.
Walter Foeger, developer of Vermont's Jay Peak Resort and the 'Natur Teknik' ski instruction system. Foeger was born in Austria in 1917. He got his first pair of skis when he was 10 and by the time he was 13 he won the Tyrolean Youth Ski Championships, a title he defended for three years in a row. In 1936 he won the junior combined as well as the downhill in the Kitzbuhel Hahnenkamm and in 1937 was picked for the Austrian National Team.
War interrupted Foeger's ski racing career, but in 1945 he was back on the slopes and co-founded the Austrian Ski Association serving as director. The next year he was chosen to coach the Spanish National Team and he guided them to the 1952 Olympics.
In 1956, he was hired by the Jay Peak Resort in Vermont and through his programming and books – including'Learn to Ski in a Week'- he made the resort an attraction for skiers from all around the world. By the end of the 1970s, Foeger's ski schools had introduced about 150,000 skiers to the sport.
An Alaska native, she moved to Utah to train at age 14. The next year she was named to the U.S. Development Team. In 1986, at 16, she won the U.S. downhill title at Copper Mountain, Colo., and then a week later won the downhill at the World Junior Championships in Bad Gastein, Austria – a first for an American.
Lindh made the 1988 Olympic team, but her name would not headline in the ski world again until 1992 when she won a silver medal at the Albertville Olympics in France.
She retired on March 13, 1997, after 13 years on the U.S. Ski Team, three Olympic Games and one Olympic silver, five U.S. National titles, three World Cup downhill titles and a World Championship downhill gold.
Erich Sailer, the 'Yoda of ski racing' who has influenced thousands of ski racers, including a host of Olympians, from his home hill, Buck Hill, Minn.
When it comes to ski racing no coach can claim a record like Sailer. For 50 years, this feisty Austrian has stood next to slalom courses tirelessly drilling alpine racers into world class competitors. His passion for the sport and his gift for teaching racers to go faster have touched about 25,000 skiers, including five of the women who represented the U.S. team in Torino: Lindsey Kildow, Kristina Koznick, Julia Mancuso, Sarah Schleper and Resi Stiegler.
His quest to build better ski racers has been a year round job since 1956, when as a newcomer to the states he pioneered summer ski racing on this continent with a camp at Timberline on Oregon's Mount Hood.
By 1967, he launched a camp on the Bear Tooth Pass outside Red Lodge, Mont., that soon became the biggest ski racing camp in the country attracting 700 skiers in a 40-day season.
In 1969, he came to Buck Hill in Burnsville. The 45-member ski team had never won a race but within a year, four racers were headed to the Junior Nationals. True to his mission, 15 racers from Buck Hill have made that team and four have competed at the Olympics.
In 1998, he was the first to be honored as USSA's Development Coach of the Year, Domestic Coach of the Year, and the United States Olympic Committee named him Ski Coach of the Year. ln 2004, he was presented with USSA's Tom Reynolds Lifetime Achievement Award. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUclzxK4sA-9F9j590 | Opioid overdoses are claiming the lives of thousands of Canadians. The impact of the opioid crisis continues to be devastating to individuals, families, and communities. Inappropriate prescribing of opioids has led to long-term dependence on this class of drugs.
To help address problematic prescription drug use, Health Canada and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research provided McMaster University with $618,248 in funding to update the Canadian Guideline for Safe and Effective Use of Opioids for Chronic Non-Cancer Pain and associated training tools for prescribers.
The updated guideline, published by Busse et al in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, recommends that patients with chronic noncancer pain first try nonopioid options to manage pain before considering a trial of opioid therapy. The guideline also offers specific recommendations for tapering opioids for patients on high doses, if that is something a prescriber chooses to do collaboratively with his or her patient. As with all medications, prescribers will continue to assess the individual needs of their patients on a case-by-case basis.
The Government of Canada is committed to implementing a comprehensive, collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based response to Canada's opioid crisis. For more information on what the Government of Canada is doing to combat the opioid crisis, please visit Canada.ca/opioids. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUfpbxK6mkyCKC3SI5 | They call themselves Syd's Angels and they have been raising awareness about bullying in Minnesota communities since the summer of 2016.
When the group is notified, or hears about a child being bullied, they gather and ride out to the kid's community to show support. This is exactly what happened last weekend. After being notified about a 13-year old boy having trouble with bullies in Isanti, they went over to show their support and let the boy know he is not alone.
Syd's Angels' founder, Greg Carson, described the abuse in a Facebook post, saying Omlid has been kicked, punched, and drawn on multiple times despite reporting the bullies to the school district.
In a video posted on Facebook live, Carson says school districts should be held accountable.
"Kids are killing themselves. Kids are cutting themselves. Kids are writing suicide letters, not turning them in, not knowing what to do with it, and it's gotta stop, plain and simple. So it's time for the communities, the cities, the states, the government, to come together finally as one body and make something happen, instead of just talking about it," Carson said.
According to their website, Syd's Angels was founded after some bikers saw a viral video of a girl named Sydney. The 17-year-old was lured into the woods near St. Francis, Minnesota by a group of teens that she thought were her friends. Two girls beat her up while a third took a video, which they uploaded to Facebook and YouTube.
The bikers who saw it rallied up a group to drive to Sydney's community in a show of support. That ride spawned a movement and an annual motorcycle ride to raise awareness about bullying.
Syd's Angels Bikers Against Bullies next yearly ride will be held Saturday, August 12th at the North Branch American Legion.
For more info check out the group's Facebook page or their website. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdh05qYVBYPffxZNg | Hawaii is called the "Melting Pot" of the Pacific because of the large variety of ethnicities that reside or visit the islands. As a result, Hawaii has a cuisine that often blends with those of other countries and has distinct tastes of its own. If you ever travel through Hawaii, don't limit yourself to chain restaurants and fast food joints. Your culinary experience can be as unique as the landscape and culture.
Ask locals or residents where they prefer to eat. Most of them will probably direct you their favorite plate lunch place. Plate lunches come with scoops of rice, a main entrée consisting of a meat or vegetarian alternative, and vegetable/pasta salad. Try items that you are not accustomed to; they will be prepared in ways traditional to Hawaiian custom.
Choose local restaurants over national or international names. The most popular local restaurant in Hawaii is Zippy's. "Zip Packs" and chili plates are among the favorite foods. L&L or Rainbow Drive Inn are other popular restaurants. Go to Tropical Taco instead of Taco Bell. Get coffee at a local coffee shop rather than Starbucks. Eat breakfast at Ken's House of Pancakes or Koa Pancake rather than settling for IHOP for your favorite pancakes. Instead of your regular Baskin Robbins, go to Lappert's ice cream.
Travel to different towns if you can and explore the local flavors. Drive to the North Shore/Haleiwa for the famous shave ice. Buy produce at a farmer's market instead of going to the supermarket. Have bento instead of a sandwich.
Look for local treats, even at national chain stores. Spam musubis can be found at every 7-11 and in most places that sell plate lunches. Look for furikake or mochi with popcorn for a snack. Even McDonald's offers a locally inspired breakfast consisting of rice, eggs, and Portuguese sausage.
Try new ways of eating seafood. The most popular party snack is ahi or tako poke. Sashimi and sushi are more popular on the islands than cooked fish. If you don't like seafood, you can stop by a sushi bar where they'll offer non-fish items, such as vegetables or meat, wrapped in the same sushi style. Just because it's Japanese food doesn't mean it won't be prepared in a way unique to the Hawaiian islands!
Taste exotic Hawaiian desserts. Haupia (coconut pudding) is a famous dessert in Hawaiian luaus (a chocolate haupia pie is shown here). Go to a local snack shop and try some li hing mui (salty dried plum). You can buy either the seeded or seedless version of the plum. You can also get a powder to dunk goodies (such as gummy worms or gummy bears) in.
Have some poi. This treat is made from the taro plant, which was introduced and eaten for several centuries by the first people who arrived in Hawaii for around 400 AD. It remains a favorite among the locals to this day. Look for freshly made poi (or make it yourself by mixing cooked taro root with water) and expect a delicate flavor. If the poi is a few days old, eat it with salted fish or lomi salmon on the side. If you're feeling ambitious, use it to make bread. Though many locals eat poi by itself, few non-locals enjoy it alone. Try it instead as a gravy on kalula pork and cabbage or laulau.
Find a Farmers Market and go! On Kauai, a group called Sunshine Market runs many markets. Only small local growers are allowed to sell, and you can get everything from coconuts and fruit to ferns and flowers fresh and at very reasonable prices. Make sure to get there early - there will be a line and stalls sell out quickly.
Familiarize yourself with the context of Hawaiian cuisine. Various dishes and crops became integrated into the Hawaiian diet as the population and economy changed. The food you encounter is a result of a unique cultural medley.
Polynesian seafarers planted taro, sweet potatoes, yams, breadfruit, baking banana, coconuts and sugarcane. They brought and ate pigs, chickens, and dogs and cooked them in earth ovens called imu.
Captain George Vancouver brought cattle to Hawaii in 1793. They multiplied, were domesticated, and became part of Hawaiian cuisine.
Don Francisco de Paula Marin, a Spanish botanist and advisor to King Kamehameha I, grew the first pineapples and grapes and brewed the first beer in the early 1800s.
Puerto Rican immigrants made spicy, Spanish-seasoned thick soups, casseroles, and meat turnovers popular dishes.
American servicemen brought Spam in their rations, and it became a good source of protein when fishing wasn't allowed during WWII. Now Hawaii is one of the biggest consumers of Spam in the world.
Are there ways to eat at a local's home?
Don't be afraid to try new things!
Depending where you go, plate lunches cost between $4 USD to $8 USD and musubis are $1.20 USD to $1.90 USD (varieties are chicken katsu, spam, hot dog, and spam/egg).
Bring home some Kona coffee or macadamia chocolates for friends and relatives.
If you don't want macaroni salad in a plate lunch, request "all rice" with your order. Depending on the kind of plate lunch, they'll either omit the mac salad or give you another scoop of rice in place of it.

BkiUdnzxK6EuM_UbrMxf | Ici Etait Radio-Canada by Alain Saulnier: Review
By Richard StursbergSpecial to the Star
Sun., Nov. 30, 2014timer3 min. read
The largest, oldest and most important Canadian cultural institution is dying. The authors of its death are its president and board of directors, acting on behalf of the Harper government. These are the claims by Alain Saulnier in his new book Here Was Radio-Canada.
The book is making waves in Quebec, where it has created a sensation, since it describes what Quebecers have always feared: that the government is trying to muzzle the CBC.
After thirty years at Radio-Canada, Alain Saulnier was fired for his efforts to defend the journalistic independence of the corporation. His immensely sad and troubling book should be required reading for anyone who cares about the cultural future of the country.
At the outset of his account, Saulnier — who was head of French language news at the CBC for many years and who this reviewer worked with and knew while head of English services at the CBC — makes clear the central challenge for the CBC is to remain independent of the government of the day, essential to ensure the objectivity and integrity of the CBC's programming, particularly with respect to news and current affairs.
Saulnier provides an excellent history of how fraught and difficult the relationship has been, focusing on the French news service.
He describes Pierre Trudeau's fury with CBC's coverage of everything from the War Measures Act and the first Referendum in 1980 (he famously threatened to put CBC under direct government control). The Chrétien government accused the CBC of being a "nest of separatists" and, after the 1995 Referendum, cut its budget.
Saulnier reviews this unhappy history to make clear that it is a perpetual challenge to defend the CBC's freedom of expression. Being President of the CBC — or even on the Board — is not a job for sissies.
This, unfortunately, is not what the CBC has in its current President, Hubert T. Lacroix. It has, in Saulnier's opinion, the opposite: a person who wants to smother the independence of the corporation. The book documents in detail times that Saulnier says Lacroix has not only failed to defend the CBC, but pushed hard for it to make it's journalism favourable to the government.
After the last election, for example, French radio had decided to employ Gilles Duceppe, the ex-head of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition, as a commentator on the show, Medium Large. Hearing about it, James Moore, then Minister of Heritage issued a tweet. It said simply:
"Duceppe?"
Saulnier writes of a chance meeting he says he had with Lacroix, who Saulnier says showed him a copy of the message. Lacroix, says Saulnier, called the decision to put Duceppe on the radio "a complete lack of judgment." He went on to warn Saulnier that there was too much ". . . anti-Conservative talk on the air."
Saulnier gives an account of being called to the Board to report on the coverage of the recent election. He had commissioned, he says, an independent study, which concluded that the CBC had reflected fairly all points of view. Despite the study's conclusion, the Chairman of the Board attacked Saulnier and said that he felt ". . . shame watching the election night coverage" Through it all, the President ". . . did not say a word . . ."
Trying to force the news department to follow the Conservative party line was one thing, but even more troubling, according to Saulnier, was the Board and the President's willingness to "dismantle" the CBC.

Rounds of cuts that began in 2009 were part of a strategy in which Lacroix worked closely with the government.
But the CBC's plan, Saulnier argues, is not strategic, but ". . . is really a plan for massive reductions . . . disguised as a plan . . . The real objective is to reduce the size of the company by 2500 employees".
When the plan was unveiled, Saulnier writes that a union member accused the president of being "an enabler for those who wanted to kill the CBC. The President replied "What do you want me to do? I have no choice." The employee replied: "You could object or resign.""
He did neither.

BkiUfsDxK7IDKzHWN8Ql | At Rockview, we take great care of our cows for two reasons. First, happy, healthy cows make the best tasting milk. And second, we believe watching out for the welfare of animals is our responsibility—it's just the right thing to do! This is one of the reasons we've always owned our cows and our farms. The care and treatment we give our cows makes Rockview Farms® the brand your family will love for its taste and freshness, and the brand you can feel good about giving them.
Rockview cows have plenty of room to roam in the fresh air and bask in the sunshine. They always have lots of clean water to drink, and they're fed a nutritious diet of fresh alfalfa hay and grains. And Rockview cows have never been given artificial growth hormones*—not once in over 50 years.
On both our organic and traditional farms, our livestock and farm management standards are based on a family belief that it's our responsibility to be good stewards of the land and the living things inhabiting it.
We believe it is best to raise our own cows on our family farms. In so doing, we're able to know and grow our herds throughout the generations, ensuring they're treated humanely and with respect.
We believe it is critical to maintain and constantly evaluate our annual farming plans, which are designed to protect Earth's natural resources through sustainable farming practices.
Did you know? We're committed to keeping all Rockview milk, sour cream, buttermilk, cream, and half & half free from genetically modified organisms.

BkiUbLA5qhDACjhvwICu | It took me few days to get over all the fun that I had on Halloween. We would look at the pictures on my mom's phone and on Facebook and have lot of fun. I spent the time looking at the cards and the notes left by people along with the balloons. It was very inspiring to read all of them. I even received few gift from my aunt, my mom's friend and even from someone that I do not even know. I want to thank everyone for thinking about me. I am opening one at a time to keep me busy for long time.
Since I am still not able to go to school due to my blood counts being low and lot of kids with fever in school, the 1000 piece puzzle of hockey would definitely keep me and my mom busy! My teachers have been very helpful and coming to keep me upto date with my class work and the assignments. The only thing I am missing now is Spanish and the violin classes. Spanish is so hard to do it on my own because I do not understand it. When I feel a little better then maybe I can get classes for violin also. I was so excited about the musical instrument but now I cannot even learn it because I am not going to school.
I have been feeling okay for last few days and eating the best I can after my early morning medicine. I had to go on Thursday for the blood test and then on Monday. It has been disappointing because my ANC has been decreasing instead of increasing. I cannot start my chemotherapy because of that. But I am not worrying about it since we are preparing for Diwali, the Indian festival. I asked my parents to get me knee hockey set so that I can still play hockey with my brother. I cannot wait to get my gift to have lot of fun with my brother !

BkiUcaPxK7Tt522WZqJZ | The Tell: Stock-market bounce could see S&P 500 pop 5% higher before bigger drop, says veteran market watcher
U.S. stocks could be gearing up for a relief rally capable of lifting the S&P 500 index back toward 4,400, but don't expect it to last, warned a veteran market strategist who called the index's first-quarter slide.
"We see an S&P 500 relief rally to 4,400 by [April 30, 2022], but thereafter we see risk of a more prolonged slowdown that should cause the S&P 500 to weaken again May to October 2022," wrote Barry Bannister, chief equity strategist at Stifel, in a Tuesday note.
A bounce to 4,400 would take the S&P 500
up 5.4% from its Monday close at 4,173.11. The large-cap benchmark, which previously entered correction territory with a pullback of more than 10% from its early January high, was up 1.3% on Tuesday near 4,226. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
jumped around 360 points, or 1.1%.
Bannister in February reiterated a call for an S&P 500 pullback that would test the 4,200 level in the first quarter after an earlier call for a summer 2021 correction missed the mark. He called for a test of 4,050 on Feb. 27, three days after the invasion of Ukraine.
Bannister based the range on a look at the equity risk premium, which refers to the extra yield that investors require to hold equities over risk-free Treasurys. Stifel calculates the premium as the "normalized" S&P 500 earnings yield (earnings per share divided by price) above or below the risk-free, real 10-year Treasury yield (see chart below).
That analysis indicates an admittedly wide range for the S&P 500 between 4,200 and 4,600, he wrote.
Stifel sees the S&P 500 in the upper end of that spread through the end of April and at the lower end between May and October. Positive seasonal factors are part of the reason for the expectation for the near-term relief rally, Bannister said, arguing that the "only way a rally does not occur by the end of April 2022 is if current events are the seasonally worst market environment in 71 years (which we do not view as likely)."
Bannister said he now expects the March 8 low at 4,158 to hold if there is a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine and signs of sanctions on Moscow ending.
Without an unwind of sanctions, a "supply-shock" recession is possible, he said.
"If sanctions on Russia do not end after a peace deal, then 2-way economic warfare means sanctions [plus] Russian commodity embargoes targeting Western GDP," Bannister wrote. "Russia's Black Sea fleet and other capabilities control a large share of oil and gas, nickel (batteries, steel), palladium and platinum (auto emission OEM, electronics), wheat, corn, fertilizer, aluminum, semiconductor neon, etc."

Discover Cutting-Edge Treatment for Alzheimer's
Dr. Bargas is a certified PreCODE and ReCODE 2.0 practitioner, a training based on the revolutionary dementia treatment protocol by Dr. Dale Bredesen, the Chief Science Officer of Apollo Health. The Bredesen Protocol is a groundbreaking approach that has been founded on over 30 years of medical research into what causes Alzheimer's and how it can be treated. From this protocol, he's put into practice PreCODE, a program aimed at preventing the development of Alzheimer's, and ReCODE, a revolutionary treatment that reverses early-stage dementia.
ReCODE and PreCODE participants can expect the following services:
An initial consultation that deep dives into your health history
Enrollment in Dr. Bargas's Integrative Cardiology and Functional Medicine program
A Pre/ReCODE questionnaire and Alzheimer's Quiz
Ordered lab tests
Cognitive assessment, such as CNS Vital Signs and SLUMS
RE/PreCode resource introduction
Functional medicine lifestyle prescription
One-hour follow-up appointments
Get Support in Reversing Cognitive Decline
The Bredesen Protocol was developed by Dr. Bredesen and his research team made key discoveries in the fundamental nature of Alzheimer's disease. These researchers identified 36 metabolic factors that can trigger "downsizing" in your brain, all of which can be addressed. With these findings, we can now offer a clinically proven treatment that can help your brain thrive and potentially save your life.
ReCODE and PreCODE can help a wide net of people who want to protect their cognition. Here is how Dr. Bargas can help you fight against Alzheimer's:
Prevent Alzheimer's from happening. There has been an uptick in the number of people experiencing an early onset of dementia – including people as young as in their 20s. PreCODE can help optimize your brain health and prevent the onset of dementia.
Get functional treatment for your brain. Medication has provided little help to people with dementia. Pre/ReCODE treatments target the root cause of dementia and encourage vital changes to encourage healthy brain functioning for years into the future.
Understand your unique brain: Alzheimer's has been considered untreatable for so long because for years little was understood about the key factors contributing to dementia. Learn how your brain functions and get personalized steps for improving it.
Access loads of amazing resources. Apollo Health has built the first-ever brain health community around the prevention and reversal of cognitive decline. You'll have a wide variety of tools at your fingertips and a team of specialists by your side.
Reverse Early-Stage Dementia. ReCODE has shown amazing results for people with mild cognitive decline or early-stage dementia. This treatment is revolutionary for patients who believed an Alzheimer's diagnosis meant there's no hope for recovery.
"Conventional wisdom holds that there is little hope for those who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's or who have a family history of dementia. We now know that there is much that can be done for memory loss prevention and reversal, and we are excited to be one of the only clinics in Oklahoma to offer this cutting-edge therapy to our patients."

Over three decades of service to financial institutions and businesses
T.K. Keith Company (TKKC), now doing business as Primax, was formed in 1981. Its founder, Theodore K. Keith, Sr., was originally retained as consultant by New England Bankcard Association (NEBA). NEBA was one of the original MasterCharge regional processing cooperatives formed in 1969. Mr. Keith, Sr.'s mission with Primax was to revitalize and refocus the organization. As a result of his assessment, the Board of Primax made the decision to sell its processing business but maintain the Association as an ongoing entity. Primax was formed to manage Primax concurrent to this sale.
A History of Growth and Innovation
In 1990, Primax added to its portfolio additional consultative-based services; First Data system support, MasterCom imaging services, and data-mining and reporting. Concurrently, Mr. Keith, Sr. launched Harbor Card Services (HCS), an outsourcing company which provided operational and management services to credit card issuers. In 1995 HCS was merged into TKKC and moved its operations to Primax's Wakefield headquarters. An expansion of the services offered to credit card issuers was initiated that included application processing, call center risk management and collections.
In 1997, Theodore Keith, Jr. became President & CEO of the company. Also in 1997 a new division called Primax Payments Systems was launched to provide operations and management services to merchant acquirers - a division that began with one merchant and grew to more than 5,000 business clients. In 2007 the company re-branded itself as Primax. TKKC remains the legal corporate name. In 2011 Primax sold the Merchant Services portion of the company in order to fully focus its resources on its payment card program clients. Then, in 2013 Primax acquired NEBA's processing business.
Growing into the 21st Century
Today Primax designs and provides support services for payment card programs to businesses and financial institutions throughout the United States.
Ted's leadership philosophy has always centered on collaboration, open lines of communication and goal-driven management. Ted makes a special effort to be highly accessible to clients and employees.
"The Primax staff is very knowledgeable and committed to superior customer service."

BkiUdE7xK7Tt52mM8-Eu | The UCLA women's soccer team announced the departure of 12-year coach Jillian Ellis and promotion of assistant B.J. Snow on Thursday, ending one of the most successful reigns in the sport's history.
Ellis leaves the school to become the Development Director for the U.S. youth national team. Snow coached under Ellis for the last five years and now has big shoes to fill.
Ellis was 229-45-14 (.819) in 12 seasons in Westwood, transforming the Bruins into a national power. She guided UCLA to seven straight NCAA College Cup appearances from 2003-09. The Bruins failed to make it eight straight last season, falling to top-ranked Stanford in the Sweet 16.
"Today is so bittersweet for me," Ellis said in a statement. "While I am excited and energized for the new challenges ahead with U.S. Soccer, it is also sad to depart an amazing university with so many wonderful friendships and memories. UCLA has been my home for the past 12 years, and college soccer my life for more than 21 years, but I am ready to help U.S. Soccer in its commitment to continue the evolution of the women's game."
Snow, who played at Indiana in the late '90s, manned UCLA for a part of 2010 while Ellis coached the Under-20 U.S. women's national team. He has also served as assistant for U.S. Soccer and has strong ties in the recruiting world.
"I am extremely honored and humbled to represent the UCLA family as the head women's soccer coach," Snow said in the statement. "Over the last five years I have been very fortunate to have been exposed to the expectations of being a part of such a prestigious university and an athletic department that are both committed to excellence. My goal is to continue to create a vision that focuses on the excellence of performance and to provide an environment that will allow our student-athletes the best opportunity to reach their goals both on the soccer field and in the classroom. I would also like to thank Jill for all of her guidance and mentorship over the last five years and wish her the best of luck in her new endeavor." | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

VANIR release video/single "Dødsfærd"
Posted on 2 weeks ago
Dødsfærd" (deaths journey) is the first single and video on the forthcoming 6th album by Viking melodic death metal band VANIR.
The song takes its inspiration from the Words of Hávi (the High One) as a reminder that all our actions echo in death for our legacies to be judged by. Cattle die, Kinsmen die, even you must die, I know one thing that never dies: the judgment of each death.
"Dødsfærd" is the first single from Vanir's upcoming album "Sagas", due in March 11th, 2022. The digital single is available here.
From the Sagas of old, to the halls of Valhalla, from Danish and Germanic battlefields with their bloody battles and fierce warriors, Danish warriors Vanir are back and have put together, without compromise, a new epic album, with a fascination with our common origins, and the blood spilled throughout history.
Few bands have more authority to do so: Vanir is one of Denmark's most well-known and prominent Viking melodic death metal bands. The group has, since it's inception, released five full-length albums very well received by the media and the avid supporters of the genre. But one can say, without much hesitation, their sixth effort "Sagas" is their best yet.
Written and recorded during the pandemics, mistered and mastered by Rune Stiassny (Iron Fire, ex-Saturnus), "Sagas"is mostly themed around Nordic mythology, but also has a song dedicated to one of the most important fantasy writers in history – J.R.R. Tolkien – who was himself greatly inspired by Nordic mythology and Denmark.
On the other hand, a song such as "Black Clad", has a double-edge sword: it is written as a tribute to the Norse god Brage, but also as a tribute to the fans of metal. The fans that support the scene and who will be the backbone of the live scene in the post-pandemic.
Martin Rubini, Vanir's vocalist, comments: "During the pandemic the world of music was turned upside down, this album has been our anchor in the creative part of our lives in a period where all our shows was cancelled and we still needed to be creative and do what we enjoy, playing metal. With "Sagas" we continue the route we laid out with "Aldar Rök" and "Allfather" and the vision we have for Vanir".
Such is the Vanir approach to themes in 2021: melodic and fierce soundscapes, with lyrical strings tied to mythology and heathen paganism, but not ending there. "Sagas" artwork portraits this with a mixture of various Norse mythical imageries. It is inspired by the idea of fate and the Norns, which are here interpreted as a singular being, displaying various aspects of fate, while intertwined in its threads.
It shows an elegant and feminine and strong imagery. The artwork was done by the bassist Lars Bundvad. "For this album, I didn't write any music", he explains. "Having been side-lined due to the pandemic – my immune system is not terribly robust – I wanted to go the extra mile and push myself for the artwork. The Norn portraits a strong feminine character and a sage who holds both wisdom and power. And I'm very happy with the result".
"Sagas" will be re-released in CD, LP (two different colours, each limited to 300 units) and digital formats via Mighty Music on March 11th, 2022.

BkiUdUw4uzlhjV1b1kPP | The tambourine or Marine (commonly called Tambo) is a musical instrument of the percussion family consisting of a frame, often of wood or plastic, with pairs of small metal jingles, called "zils". Classically the term tambourine denotes an instrument with a drumhead, though some variants may not have a head at all.
Tambourines come in many different shapes with the most common being circular It is found in many forms of music, Italian folk music, classical music, Roma music, Persian music, gospel music, pop music and rock music.The word tambourine finds its origins in the Middle Persian word tambūr "lute, drum" (via the Middle French tambour).
The tambourine can be held in the hand or mounted on a stand, and can be played in numerous ways, from stroking or shaking the jingles to striking it sharply with hand or stick or using the tambourine to strike the leg or hip. A less common way to play a tambourine is with the feet.
There are several ways to achieve a tambourine roll. The easiest is to rapidly rotate the hand holding the tambourine back and forth, pivoting at the wrist.
An advanced playing technique is known as the "thumb roll" when the finger or thumb is moved over the skin or rim of the tambourine producing a fast roll from the jingles on the instrument. This takes more skill and experience to master.The thumb of the hand not holding the tambourine is run around the head of the instrument approximately one centimetre from the rim with some pressure applied. If performed correctly, the thumb should bounce along the head rapidly, producing the roll.
The thumb roll technique can be made easier with the application of wax or resin to the head. A continuous roll can be achieved by moving the thumb in a figure of 8 pattern around the head, although this takes some practice to make it very perfect.
The Basque pandero is a folk instrument currently played along with the diatonic accordion in a duo most of the times. Sometimes the players, who play in festivities to enliven the atmosphere or less frequently at onstage performances, sing along. At times the pandero accompanies the alboka or txistu too. Yet this kind of duos have not always been the case. As attested in 1923, the youth gathered to dance to the rhythm of the bare pandero, with no other music instrument implicated but the player's (a woman's) voice.
The riq (also spelled riqq or rik) is a type of tambourine used as a traditional instrument in Arabic music. It is an important instrument in both folk and classical music throughout the Arabic-speaking world.Widely known as "Shakers".
The name is related to Greek language βόμβος (low and hollow sound) and βομβύλη (a breed of bees) and related to Indo-Aryan bambharas (bee) and English bee.
Buben is known to have existed in many countries since time immemorial, especially in the East. There are many kinds of bubens, including def, daf, or qaval (Azerbaijan ), daf or khaval (Armenia ), daira (Georgia ), doira (Uzbekistan and Tajikistan ), daire or def (Iran ), bendeir (Arab countries), pandero (Spain ). In Kievan Rus, drums and military timpani were referred to as buben.
A dayereh (or doyra, dojra, dajre, doira, daire) is a medium-sized frame drum with jingles used to accompany both popular and classical music in Iran (Persia), the Balkans, and many central asian countries such as Tajikistan and Uzbekistan . It is a percussion instrument, and is something intermediate between a drum and a tambourine.

University of Dallas
At first blush, phenomenology seems to be concerned preeminently with questions of knowledge, truth, and perception, and yet closer inspection reveals that the analyses of these phenomena remain bound up with language and that consequently phenomenology is, inextricably, a philosophy of language. Drawing on the insights of a variety of phenomenological authors, including Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Gadamer, and Ricoeur, this collection of essays by leading scholars articulates the distinctively phenomenological contribution to language by examining two sets of questions. The first set of questions concerns the relatedness of language to experience. Studies exhibit the first-person character of the philosophy of language by focusing on lived experience, the issue of reference, and disclosive speech. The second set of questions concerns the relatedness of language to intersubjective experience. Studies exhibit the second-person character of the philosophy of language by focusing on language acquisition, culture, and conversation. This book will be of interest to scholars of phenomenology and philosophy of language.

BkiUconxK5YsWPOofiFE | Cricket: Is a draw like kissing your sister?
27 Mar 201327 Mar 2013
The Americans say a tie in sport is "like kissing your sister". They don't like it. They want sport to produce a clear winner.
Yet when England drew against New Zealand in the third Test in Auckland on Tuesday - with Stuart Broad setting a world record for the amount of time spent at the crease before scoring - it was greeted like a victory.
Broad's father Chris, who also played for England, and the legendary cricket commentator Henry Blofeld discussed whether a draw in sport is something to get excited about.
Speaking to Today presenter Sarah Montague, Mr Blofeld explained: "It's edge of the seat time... every single ball your heart would have been going like that!"
"I think it's terrific," he said.

BkiUcgnxK6wB9dbuTHxq | Because of the unique needs of a family, BaseCamp treats family volunteer projects in a similar fashion to how we treat group volunteer programs. We have, since 1998, coordinated group volunteer projects of various sizes for high schools, post-secondary institutions, clubs, organizations and families. Our staff on the ground have the expertise to manage the logistical considerations and our long term relationships with local organizations allow our staff to identify and fashion projects that are both meaningful and sustainable.
The key to BaseCamp ensuring the sustainability of our projects lies in the fact that we only coordinate projects in cooperation with organizations who have the budget and staff to ensure the ongoing management of any project in which we participate.
Much like with our independent programs, the family process begins with us gathering some information regarding the family make-up, your background and your interests. This is gathered through our Group Project Request Form. This form gathers details such as the size of the family, the length of time you have for the project and the type of project the family is interested in. It also allows you to outline any special requirements for the project.
Once completed, this information is sent to our staff in the selected country for their review. They will look through the request and see if there is a match with the needs of an organization on the ground. If so, they will put together general details about the project and create a project profile on our website for review.
Once our team has confirmed that we are able to move forward with the project, you will work directly with our team on the ground to further revise the proposal. During this period we strongly encourage you to follow our country Google + pages where you can have a video 'Hangout' with our staff overseas. These video chats are a great tool to help ensure that your goals and objectives are clearly communicated to the team on the ground responsible for managing the project.

BkiUfS3xaKgQX6Nqszn- | Home / Travel / 8 places where you feel like a hero of Game of Thrones
To experience the end of the last season of Game of Thrones is how to experience separation: trying to find a new hobby or doing a journey. If you choose the latter, then why not to experience the show for yourself, because we should wait for the new season for about a year. Take a look at a selection of photos of places held shooting or places that are very similar to the world of Game of Thrones, and plan your unforgettable summer vacation!
If you were impressed by the capital of the Seven Kingdoms
The capital of the Seven Kingdoms is on the warm sunny shores of the harbor at Blackwater. Visit Dubrovnik, Croatia. Though the scene in the capital was taken at different locations, Dubrovnik is quite similar to the fictitious capital, especially its red-terracotta roofs. The nearby town of Split, 3 hours driving to the north, and it is somewhat similar to the capital.
If you like Dorn
The feature of lavish residence of the House of Martell is neat gardens and exquisite architecture. Visit the Alcazar of Seville.
The palace scenes with water gardens Dorn filmed in Seville, Spain. Ancient palace was built in the 10th century in the Moorish style, as it can be seen in the tile elements and intricate arches.
If you like Dothraki Sea
Dothraki Deyneris inhabit the desolate continent Essose. Go to Bardenas Reales.
Huge unsettled barren land is located in Navarre, a province in northern Spain, on the border with France. The area of 42087 hectares divided into three parts: the plateau of El Plano, southern zone Barden Blanca and the highest zone – La Negra.
If you liked Mierin
Last conquered kingdom Deyneris Targaryen is located in the Gulf Slaver (although it has been renamed to Yalong Bay). Go to Valletta, Malta.
Many scenes were filmed the show, not only in Split, Croatia, but in Malta. The site was chosen for shooting landscapes and Marina Royal harbor due to the rough old architecture and elevated terrain.
If you like Royal Route
The main road passes through the Seven Kingdoms King's Landing, and it is the Black Castle. Visit Dark Hedges, Northern Ireland.
There you can stroll through the beautiful beech trees along a scenic road in Northern Ireland. Trees on this road were planted in the 18th century.
If you like the Wall
213-meter high structure made of solid ice holds the wildest and Walkers. There, in the Black Castle, there is the Night Watch. Go to Iceland.
In Iceland, all snowy landscape Game of Thrones was filmed. Lake Myvatn in the north of the country is ideal for filming of cold walls.
If you want to see Volantis
Long bridge Volantisa is a huge structure that connects the two halves of the city. In season 5 Tyrion, Varys, and Ser Jorah stayed there on the way to Pentos. Visit Cordoba, Spain.
Volantis is based on the Roman bridge Cordova. It was built in the 1st century BC and it is located in the historic town of Andalusia.
If you enjoyed the wedding venue of Deaneries and Khal Drogo
Marriage and Khalis Dothraki Khal pointed to a rocky area near the sea. Go to the Azure Window, Malta.
This natural limestone arch is on the Maltese island of Gozo. The blue water and the shape of the rocks attract many fans to dive from the steep cliffs.

BkiUa_k4eILhQAZVCds6 | Terrestrial physics
The most serious objection to Copernicus' heliocentric model of the cosmos was that there was no satisfactory physics for such a system. The Ptolemaic system lasted as long as it did in part because it was very accurate, and in part because it was undergirded by Aristotelian physics. Aristotelian physics provided coherent and persuasive explanations for the behavior of falling bodies and the rotation of the planets. In this page, I'm going to take a more in depth look at Aristotle's physics of the terrestrial realm, and examine a major challenge to this physics in the Middle Ages. In subsequent pages (on Galileo's physics, Descartes' physics and Newton's physics) I will examine the gradual construction of a new physics that could make sense of motion in a heliocentric cosmos.
First, let's review briefly what I've already written about Aristotelian physics as it pertains to the terrestrial realm. Everything below the sphere of the moon is made of four elements: earth, water, air and fire. The natural motion of these elements is in rectilinear and radial. That is, the heavy elements naturally move down toward the center of the cosmos (which is the earth), and the lighter elements naturally move up. Further, each element has a natural place. The natural place of the element earth is at the center of the cosmos. The natural place of water is just above the element earth. The natural place of fire is at the periphery of the terrestrial realm. The natural place of air is just below fire. All natural motion in the terrestrial realm is a result of elements seeking to reach their natural places. Terrestrial object can be compelled to move in unnatural ways as well. For example, you can make a rock move up instead of down if you toss it upwards. Such motion is called unnatural or forced or violent motion (these are all synonyms).
FOUR POINTS ABOUT ARISTOTELIAN PHYSICS
I. MOTION IS A TYPE OF CHANGE.
The first thing to understand about Aristotle's understanding of motion in the terrestrial realm is that motion is a type of CHANGE. Specifically, motion is a change of place. However, Aristotle subsumed motion under the larger category of change. And the larger category of change included generation, corruption and alteration in quality. Generation and corruption are biological processes. Organisms are born, they grow, they get old, they decay and eventually they die.
Alteration in quality could be an organic, such as when the leaves of a tree turn from green to orange in the fall, or inorganic, such as when tea changes from hot to cold if it's left on the counter. In the twenty-first century, the birth of a kitten and the falling of a rock are not regarded as the same type of phenomena. Birth (of kittens and other animals) is a subject we learn about in biology classes. And the behavior of falling bodies is something we learn in physics classes. But understanding that Aristotle subsumed motion into the broader category of change, and that his model or paradigm of change was biological change, may go some way to clarifying his thought. When I ask, "how would Aristotle explain why a rock falls?" most students can memorize the answer, "because the rock is trying to reach its natural place at the center of the cosmos," but they find it deeply unsatisfying And they have good reason to find this answer unsatisfactory. It's not just that students are so familiar with the Newtonian concept of gravity that they believe it is natural or intuitive (although it's not!). It's also that the answer seems fundamentally tautological (or circular). Why does a rock fall? Because it's in the nature of the rock to fall. But if I asked, "how would Aristotle explain why a kitten grows up to be a cat?" you would find the answer, "because it's in the nature of a kitten to become a cat," considerably more satisfying. In fact, substitute "DNA" for "nature" and Aristotle's answer in exactly the same as our modern answer. (If you want to know more about Aristotle's understanding of motion as change, see the essay by Joe Sachs in the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy.)
II. CHANGE IS NOT MATHEMATICAL
Aristotle's understanding of motion is not mathematical. He does not attempt to describe any kind of change, including motion, mathematically. Nor does he ever suggest that such a mathematical description would be desirable. This flies in the face of our modern understanding of physics as a fundamentally mathematical science. Again, it may help to reflect that most of the types of change that Aristotle sought to describe are not ones that modern scientists would attempt to describe mathematically either. Who thinks the process of a kitten turning into a cat can be described mathematically?
III. AN OBJECT CAN HAVE ONLY ONE KIND OF MOTION.
An object, like a rock, can only have one motion at a time. If you throw a rock upward, you force it to make an unnatural motion. Eventually, this unnatural motion will end and its natural motion, straight down, will begin. But at not point does the rock have two motions, the natural and the unnatural.
IV. LOCAL MOTION IS A WEAK AREA OF ARISTOTLE'S PHILOSOPHY
The final thing to understand about Aristotle's terrestrial physics is that his explanation of local motion has some definite weak points. This is not really Aristotle's fault. He was simply considerably more interested in biological change, and he devoted far more time and attention to it than he did to the subject of motion. However, these weak points would be ones that medieval scholars in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries would attempt to figure out for themselves. Two serious problem areas were 1) how to explain why falling bodies fell faster the farther they fell, and 2) how to explain projectile motion. There was no really good explanation in Aristotle's works for why a heavy body like a rock should fall faster the farther it falls, and yet it doesn't take a whole lot of observation to convince yourself that this is the case. Some speculated that the earthy object moved more "joyfully" the closer it got to its natural place, but this was not really satisfactory. The problem of projectile motion was even worse. If I throw a rock in the air, why does it continue to travel upwards even when I'm no longer touching it? If I shoot an arrow from a bow, why does it travel forward before falling to the ground? Aristotle said, the mover (my hand or the bow) pushes the medium (generally air) as well as projectile. After the projectile leaves my hand or my bow, air displaced by the object rushes around behind the object so a vacuum does not form. Hence the projectile is pushed forward. At some point, the resistance of the medium will cause the projectile to stop moving upward or forward. At this point its natural motion, down to the center of the earth, takes over. So the medium both pushes the object upward or forward, and stops it from moving upward or forward. The technical term for this was antiperistasis. Note that for Aristotle projectile motion was a very small part of his general theory of change; he didn't devote much attention to it. Medieval scholars found Aristotle's description of projectile motion particularly unsatisfactory. I turn now to one of the most powerful responses to Aristotle's theory of motion in the Middle Ages.
JOHN BURIDAN AND IMPETUS THEORY
John Buridan (ca. 1300 – ca. 1358) taught at the University of Paris in the fourteenth century. He taught students about Aristotle's ideas, and he wrote numerous commentaries on the ancient Greek philosopher's books. One of these commentaries was on Aristotle's Physics, and in this commentary, Buridan critiqued Aristotle's explanation of projectile motion. He gives several examples of forced motion that cannot be explained with antiperistasis.
Wikimedia Commons.
His first example is a top. If you set a top in motion, it will spin for some time before it falls over. Now spinning is not a natural motion. The natural motion of the top (presuming it is made of some earthy substance) is straight down. You can force it to spin on its own axis for a little while, but then its natural motion takes over. But what is making the top spin when you take your hand away? This is an unnatural motion, but it can't be caused by air rushing in to push the top around, because the top is not changing place.
His second example is a lance that is sharp at both ends. "A lance having a conical posterior as sharp as its anterior would be moved after projection just as swiftly as it would be without a sharp conical posterior. But surely the air following could not push a sharp end in this way, because the air would be easily divided by the sharpness."
His third example is a ship being pulled down a river by men on the shore. "A ship drawn swiftly in the river even against the flow of the river, after the drawing has ceased, cannot be stopped quickly, but continues to move for a long time. And yet a sailor on deck does not feel any air from behind pushing him. He feels only the air from the front resisting him."
Aristotle's explanation of violent motion – that the mover displaces the air as well as the object and the air in front of the object rushes around to fill in behind the object, thereby pushing it along – just doesn't work in the case of the top, the two-tipped lance and the ship being dragged against the current. And it's not a very satisfactory explanation of projectile motion either! Buridan's solution is concept of impetus. Here it is in his own words:
Therefore, it seems to me that it ought to be said that the motor in moving a moving body impresses in it a certain impetus or a certain motive force of the moving body, which impetus acts in the direction toward which the mover was moving the moving body, either up or down, or laterally, or circularly. And by the amount the motor moves that moving body more swiftly, by the same amount it will impress in it a stronger impetus. It is by that impetus that the stone is moved after the projector ceases to move. But that impetus is continually decreased by the resisting air and by the gravity of the stone, which inclines it in a direction contrary to that in which the impetus was naturally disposed to move it. Thus the movement of the stone continually becomes slower, and finally that impetus is so diminished or corrupted that the gravity of the stone wins out over it and moves the stone down to its natural place.
When you throw a stone up in the air, you impart impetus to the stone. This impetus has direction. If you throw the rock straight up, the impetus continues to move the rock straight up. If you throw it to the side, it continues sideways. The impetus is proportional to the mass of the stone and the speed with which you throw it. This is why it is possible to throw a rock considerably farther than a feather. The feather may be much lighter, but this means the amount of impetus you can impart to it is very limited. The impetus is degraded by the resistance of the medium – that's why projectiles eventually fall to earth. This image, from Niccola Tartaglia's Nova Scientia (New science) of 1606, shows the paths of projectiles using impetus theory. Note that each path is straight to begin with, then curved, then straight again. The first straight part represents the motion of the object due to the impetus, the curved part represents the impetus being degraded by the object's weight, and the last straight part represents the natural motion straight down.
Niccola Tartaglia, Nova Scientia (1606). Courtesy of OU History of Science Collections.
Impetus is a cause of motion. It is not the same thing as our modern notion of inertia or momentum. Buridan is still working within an Aristotelian framework in which motion needs a cause. A moved object needs a mover. This is not the same as the Newtonian notion that a body in motion continues in motion unless acted on by some force, and a body at rest continues at rest unless acted on by some force. For Newton, continued motion or continued rest does not need to be explained; only a change in state from motion to rest or from rest to motion needs to be explained. For Buridan, motion always needs to be explained; rest does not.
Buridan also used impetus theory to explain why falling bodies move faster and faster as they get closer to earth. As the body falls its gravity (note: not gravity in modern sense, but the body's own weightiness) generates additional impetus in the body. As the impetus increases, the body moves faster.
Buridan also suggested that impetus might explain the continual motions of the heavenly bodies:
It could be said . . . that God, when he created the world, moved each of the celestial orbs as He pleased, and in moving them He impressed in them impetuses which moved them without his having to move them. . . . And these impetuses which He impressed in the celestial bodies were not decreased nor corrupted afterwards, because there was no inclination of the celestial bodies for other movements. Nor was there resistance which would be corruptive or repressive of that impetus.
Although he marks this as a suggestion, not an argument about the divine creation, this passage is quite remarkable, and foreshadows the later work of Galileo and Descartes. Buridan uses the same theory of motion to account for BOTH celestial AND terrestrial motion. This was a small but significant step toward breaking down the distinction between celestial and terrestrial physics.

BkiUa7g4uzqh-42_Shk_ | Amitabh Bachchan Calls Kangana Ranaut And Not Aishwarya Rai Bachchan 'No 1 Actress'
Lekhaka
Filmibeat 22 November 2019
It is always an honour for a star in India to get praised by the one and only Amitabh Bachchan. Recently, on Kaun Banega Crorepati 11, the host and megastar asked a contestant to recognise the actress's voice in an audio clip. The options given were Ameesha Patel, Kangana Ranaut, Preity Zinta and Kriti Sanon. The correct answer was Kangana Ranaut, who was heard saying in the audio, "I've received offers from so many parties. Even my grandfather was a big politician. But I have willingly not accepted (those offers) because I don't want to do that. I don't want to be a politician. I want to be a filmmaker. And that's my primary goal right now."
To which Amitabh Bachchan responded saying, "Kangana Ranaut ji is a very beautiful, number one and famous artist. She has won many awards including National Awards and Filmfare Awards." This might surprise many as his daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one among the most gorgeous and talented actresses in the industry!
Coming back to Kangana Ranaut, she is known for her bold and to the point answers and has always stood by herself, never faltering from putting forth her point of view in front of the media or on chat shows hosted by ace Bollywood directors or producers.
Seems like this news has shut all controversies against the actress as Kangana indeed is the leading actress of present-day Bollywood as stated by Big B himself.

SINGAPORE - Every Thursday evening, dozens of secondary school students gather at Marsiling Community Club to take part in team games, and bond over food such as pizza.
The students, from low-income households in the neighbourhood, are sometimes also taken on outings to places such as bowling centres.
This is part of Progress Nest, an initiative that was founded Mr Akram Hanif, 24, in June last year.
"I felt we should do a programme that helps with (young people's) social and emotional growth as they go through these important years, and get through " he tells The Straits Times in a phone interview.
Much of this might not have been possible if it were not for the Our Singapore Fund, which was launched in 2016 and has since supported more than 240 other ground-up projects in areas ranging from sports to the arts.
"It would have been quite difficult to achieve what we want - to build that rapport (with the youth), we need to invest in resources," says Mr Akram, who applied to the OSF half a year after starting Progress Nest, and says this money will go towards activities such as outings, food and chartering a bus to events.
Mr Akram, who works as an office secretary in the shipping industry, adds that he has been granted about $13,000 in financial support from the OSF.
Today, he is assisted by two other core team members and more than 10 youth volunteers.
He adds that he hopes Progress Nest will be a safe space for its students attendees - affectionately dubbed "night owls" - to explore and learn.

BkiUbhw5qdmB6zIPxw3f | It´s worth mentioning a third factor known as on-site SEO or, to use a better word, technical SEO. Technical SEO comes down to increasing the loading time of your pages and fixing duplicate content, among other things. In short, it looks at optimizing the site as a whole, which we´ll cover in a separate article.
Today, we´re talking about on-page SEO. We´ve tailored this toward people who´re just starting out, with the focus of this article on how to make a webpage search engine friendly.
Include your keyword in the title, the closer to the beginning the better.
Use your keyword in the URL, like I´ve done on this page.
H2 tag, insert your keyword in full or, if that looks unnatural, use a variation.
Alt image tag, when you upload your image to WordPress, you can insert your keyword there.
Rename your image file to the keyword you´d like to rank for.
Use your keyword near the top of the article and once towards the end.
Write in a natural way, don't repeat your keyword numerous times just for the sake of it.
My target keyword is: Beginners Guide to On-page SEO.
Since I´d also like to rank for variations like 'On-page SEO beginners guide' or 'On-page SEO for beginners', it doesn't matter a whole lot whether I use the exact phrase or not. For Google, they are both the same thing.
H2: My phrase is four words long, so I don't use it in any H2 or H3 tags. I did insert 'on-page SEO' into one of the H2 tags as you can see above which is sufficient in this case.
Alt tag: I inserted my phrase in the featured image alt tag as this page has no other images.
Top bottom: I used a variation near the top and one near the bottom of this article.
This article looks quite natural, right? Definitely not keyword stuffed.
When it comes to keywords most people tend to over-think it. When you write in a natural way, Google will know what your page is about. All you have to do is mention it naturally in the places I´ve recommended and that's it. If it's a long phrase like mine, vary it up as best you can.
See, for example, how I rephrased my keyword in the URL and the title? I did that on purpose to make it look more natural and to increase my chance of ranking for variations.
I have an affiliate site in the cooking niche with a page about rice cookers. This page had the word 'brown' mentioned just ONCE on the whole page. It wasn't even connected to the word 'rice cooker'. Still, my page ranked at #1 for 'brown rice cooker'.
How is that even possible? I hear you say. Well, Google only needs half a word these days to know what the page is about. My site had a lot of authority (read: backlinks) so, despite poor on-page SEO for that particular keyword, it still beat all my competitors.
You´ve probably seen these words used a few times here and there. If not, no problem.
Years ago, people would simply repeat their keywords to improve their rankings. Nowadays, the Google algorithm is so advanced that an approach like that would actually hurt your rankings.
Instead of repeating the same keywords, it's better to come up with synonyms and related keywords to include on your page. These are known as semantic, or LSI, keywords.
Definition: LSI keywords (Latent Semantic Indexing) are basically keywords that are semantically related to your primary keyword. Contrary to popular belief, they are NOT just synonyms or keywords that are similar in meaning.
A good example of an LSI keyword is Technical SEO instead of On-page SEO. They aren't synonyms of each other, yet they are still related.
The more related keywords you have, the higher you will rank in Google so pay close attention to them.
Copying and pasting the list, like I just did here, is not the best practice for improving ranking. A better way would be to simply pick some of the phrases and write around them in a natural way.
When I look at that list, I see a few nice words that I could've used like: advanced, Google, how seo works, tools, certification, analytics, tips, tricks, tutorial, techniques and so on.
I´ve probably used most of them already without even realizing it! That's what tends to happen when you write for people instead of search engines.
In the past, people wrote a single article for every keyword they could find, including slight variations.
And it kept on going and going, rather spammy if you ask me.
Nowadays, it's much better to combine as much content as you can into one post / page. The less posts you have, the easier it will be when it comes to building links. It also lets you rank for many more keywords than if you were to spread your efforts across multiple pages.
Let´s take a look back at our original sample. Instead of doing it like that, I would keep the category but simply name it 'reviews'; and I definitely wouldn't try to rank that category.
Obviously, I could also insert all those product names into my main pillar article but, if my site is all about rice cookers, I´d like to have more than just one page. If it were a cooking site on the other hand, it would be perfectly okay to cover it all in one article.
Besides, those keywords with the exact model in them tend to have very large search volume. A more in-depth review is not a bad idea to specifically target a model which comes in many variations. I would also point backlinks at those pages to increase my rankings even more.
An extra-benefit of having separate pages is that you can internally link the pages together. You can even link from your pillar / main article to independent reviews for people who want to know more about that specific model.
I personally let the search volume lead me. If a keyword has 8100 searches per month I´d write an in-depth article on it. You'd be surprised how many models have thousands of people searching for it each month. I'm not kidding.
Keywords like 3-cup rice cooker generally only have a couple hundred searches at most. That means you can give your main article a nice, SEO friendly, hierarchy by dividing it into cup size, brand or other specifics.
So how come I don't dedicate pages to let's say Panasonic or Aroma rice cooker, which also have a high search volume?
The simple reason is that those keywords tend to be a lot more competitive and they don't tend to convert that well.
Only if I was ranking at #1 for every imaginable phrase would I consider writing detailed pages on specific brands.
Don't make it any harder for yourself then it has to be is the lesson to take from here.
People love talking about keyword density, but no one can agree about how best to use it. One person says you should use it max 1% of the time, while others claim max 5%, and then another person comes by saying 3% is the optimal number.
Then, these same people calculate it all wrong. If their keyword was a 3 word phrase and they mentioned it 30 times in a 1000 word article they said my keyword density is 3%. They forgot that the keyword consists of 3 phrases, so to reach 3% they should've only mentioned it 10 times.
Heck, even some of the tools online were programmed in such a poor way that they´d spit out the wrong numbers.
one word: Use it as often as you want, it doesn't really matter.
two words: I can't really put a limit on this either but stick to <1% perhaps?
three words: I wouldn't use it more than once every 300 words.
four words: Use variations like I did and only use it max once or twice in the page.
five+ words: Putting it in the title, URL and H1 tag should be sufficient.
That's pretty much common sense right?
The longer your phrase, the less often you need to mention it. Instead, just sprinkle single words throughout your article.
There's a lot of doubt in the SEO community whether linking out to authority sites help.
There are some case studies on this topic, however most are rather vague and I definitely wouldn't call them scientifically under build.
The answer to that question is No, definitely not, so if it doesn't hurt you could just as well add some authority links and perhaps it helps a little bit.
Same like I'm doing right now, I honestly forgot a few things that (may) have a positive impact on your rankings.
Updating your page is definitely one of them, especially if your page is rather old and has experienced some drops for your main keyword.
I'm not saying you should update your post like once a week, or even once a month, but you could consider updating your main pages say twice a year.
In the IM community people love to talk about content upgrades, but in such a way that it's hidden behind an email opt-in.
This obviously won't help your page in any way as Google won't be able to access it, unless you add specific code to allow the user-agent Googlebot on that part of your site. I'm not exactly sure how to do this though but I will look into it and once I've found out I will update this post again.
I hope you enjoyed this beginner´s guide to on-page SEO. If you have any questions, you can comment below or, if you´d like to know more, you can also join our Facebook group over here: Content Hourlies – SEO Tips & Strategies.
ps: By the time I upgraded this post my next post is ready as well, have a look over here or bookmark it for later: 'How to Improve Your Rankings in Google', in that article we talk about off-page SEO, or better said building backlinks to your site. Though On-page SEO is the foundation, links are still the #1 ranking factor.
It's one thing to explain a concept, it's another thing showing that the concept actually works.
When you search in Google for 'Onpage SEO for beginners' we rank at #2 – that wasn't the case when we published this article as things take time, and links are obviously an important ranking factor as well.
We also rank for variations like 'beginners guide to onpage SEO' and dozens of other versions on the first page of Google.
This site hasn't attracted a whole lot of backlinks yet so this shows you the true power of on-page optimization. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 4 |

Apple delay, but puts battery percentage in these 4 iPhone models
by Janes 15 Settembre 2022
written by Janes 15 Settembre 2022
The return of battery percentage to iPhone X and newer editions is one of the main "novelties" of iOS 16. Still, some models, such as the iPhone XR and 11, were left out and did not receive the new indicator. Fortunately, Apple intends to release the change to other notch phones in iOS 16.1.
The traces of the novelty gave the faces in the first beta of the update, released on Wednesday (14). If nothing changes until the final version, owners of iPhone XR, 11, and Mini models will have access to the option to enable the percentage on the battery icon. Previously, the feature was limited to alternatives with OLED or large screen:
"The iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 Mini, and iPhone 13 Mini do not display the battery percentage in the status bar," says an Apple support page.
The absence of the feature in models with LCD screen or 5.4 inches gave the talk among users. After all, even if these phones have a lower pixel density, it wouldn't exactly be an impediment to applying the indicator. Check out the differences between older generations:
Apple, however, has not yet reported the reason for the absence of the feature in the editions with smaller screen or LCD in iOS 16.0. There is also no iOS 16.1 release forecast for all users.
The return of the battery numeral indicator is one of the most missing features in models with notch. Taking my case as an example, I enable the percentage in the status bar since the iPhone 3GS. Of course, it was a simple feature, but it helped with the old battery that barely lasted half a day.
Today, the situation is much better. But the percentage is still lacking, because before iOS 16, it was necessary to open the control center to access the data in options with notch. In other words: instead of just looking at a single place, users need to lay their finger on the top right corner of the screen and drag it down to gain access to information.
Apple, thankback, is taking the feature to generations with notch on the display. However, there are still mishaps, as the icon does not change as the battery is consumed. The indicator only changes color when it is enabled (yellow) or when the charge is almost over (red).
I confess that this limitation is a nuisance that almost made me disable the percentage in the status bar. After all, back and forth I think the battery is complete, because the bar is almost always full – less when it is below 20%. Only the number changes as the component unloads throughout the day.
The exception is for models without notch. Both iPhone 8 and iPhone SE, as well as previous generations, never stopped displaying the percentage in the status bar. In addition, the indicator changes depending on consumption, and is not always complete as in editions with notch after upgrading to iOS 16.
But what about you, have an iPhone X or newer and activated the battery percentage? What'd you think? Share your opinions there in the Tecnoblog Community.

BkiUeP84dbghZzegC0ue | January 2015 - Darrington Strong, Inc.
The Community Center was filled with folks from the Darrington area and beyond, Jan. 21, to hear updates regarding the status of a variety of projects that are currently under way. The primary purpose of this meeting was to update attendees regarding the current status of the effort to pave the remainder of the Mountain Loop Highway (Finish the Loop Proposal) and the Mountain Loop Highway Stewardship project and to summarize the status of other projects being pursued by Darrington Strong, Darrington Renewal Project, and Darrington Area Resource Advocates.
Judy Pendergrass, representative from WSU, introduced Nels Rasmussen who spoke on Darrington Strong and the efforts of the group to bring tourism and recreation opportunities, among other ideas, to the Darrington area. Several committees have been formed including Friends For Public Use, Friends of North Mountain and the Darrington Area Resource Advocates under the umbrella of Darrington Strong. Martha Rasmussen spoke on the continuing work of Friends For Public Use and their efforts cleaning debris and doing maintenance work on local roads and trails. Val Peppinger spoke on the Darrington Renewal Project and their efforts to establish a Farmers Market and other projects. Amy Lucas, Snohomish County Planning and Development Services, spoke on the inclusion of Darrington in the yearly Eagle Festival.
Judy then introduced Kevin Ashe to begin the program and give detail on the efforts of DARA to get the 14 mile unpaved portion of the Mountain Loop Highway finished.
The Mountain Loop Highway, Forest Road #20, was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps back in 1941. The road, known for its breathtaking views and access to some of the most sought after recreation in the state, has 14 miles of unpaved road requiring high maintenance by the Forest Service and is now facing severe budget cuts. Once the Mountain Loop Highway is paved, the intention is that Snohomish County would take over the jurisdiction for the road. It is believed that paving the remaining 14 miles of road will secure a longer season for recreation, improve law enforcement and increase recreational generated revenues both locally as well as for Snohomish County and the State. In 1975, the Federal Highways Administration (FHA) published an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) which proposed completion of a paved 2 lane scenic highway from Barlow Pass to Darrington. In 1986, the segment from Darrington to the Whitechuck River was paved. In the 1990's, FHA was ready to prepare an EIS to address paving the remaining 14 miles of gravel highway. This project was abandoned when the Forest Service, FHA and Snohomish County decided not to proceed with the work due to lack of broad based and active support.
The Mountain Loop Highway provides a unique loop drive opportunity to residents of Snohomish County and the rest of Washington state, that can be driven in a day from many locations within the Puget Sound Area. Walt Dortch presented a slide show outlining the advantages of completing the paving project along with the disadvantages of non paving. The gravel part of the Mountain Loop Highway becomes a dusty, pothole filled road making the drive a deterrent to visitors living in Washington state and the U.S. as a whole. Paving would bring year long recreational opportunities. Paving the gravel segment of the Mountain Loop would also significantly improve the capability of the road to provide a safe and accessible alternative route to passenger type vehicles and emergency vehicles into and out of Darrington, Silverton and other communities.
Based on the Contract awarded to pave the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Road, it is estimated that it will cost $22 Million to pave the 14 mile gravel segment of the MLH. FHA can provide up to 86.5% of the funding for the project, the remaining 13.5% must come from "matching" non-federal funds. According Runyan data, published in the 2010 Snohomish County Tourism Plan, an average vehicle full of visitors that stays overnight in Washington spends an average of $716 per trip, while visitors who do not stay overnight contribute $222 to the local economy.
DARA continues to pursue building a case for the project and the communities that would benefit from paving the 14 mile stretch of the Mountain Loop Highway. Millions of visitors would have a world class destination that would benefit Snohomish County and Washington State.
It is hoped this time to create an active constituency of local governments, Federal and State Representatives and Snohomish County Officials and interest groups who will step up when it counts at meetings or other venues and urge the project to go forward.
Dan Rankin, Mayor of Darrington, pointed out the representation in the room of the many organizations in Darrington that have taken on different projects around town including the community garden, drug awareness, Skate Darrington, Grange, Bluegrass Association, Whitehorse Trails and many others. Council member Fred Cruger, from Granite Falls expressed the fact that all the communities along the Mountain Loop Highway will benefit from the paving.
Walt encouraged everyone in the room to leave their email addresses so when an important event arises, an email can be sent out to encourage participation. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUe3TxK2li-LM1SpdY | I do not know who John Maxwell was, but I do remember the above quote and I believe that quote helps to portray what we try to make our work about. Yes the focus of The Arc of Augusta is about individuals with DD (Developmentally Disabled), but it is also about choice and about empowering individuals to make their own choices. Many times the average person seems to forget about the power of choice, choosing what they want to do is still a mainstay of life. By and large we are a result of the choices we make.
As an organization The Arc advocates for the rights of DD individuals to live, to work if they so desire, to be as active in their community as they want to be and to spend their time where they choose. The Arc of Augusta offers two adult day support programs that help to provide socialization, education, activities and the opportunity for voluntary interaction with members of our local communities. Our staff does their best to assure that our programs meet what the individual wants to experience, wants to learn or wants to have fun with. It is a choice when an individual decides to attend our programs. We only serve adults with DD, but they are of every age group, every level of interest/ability and some have significant needs, but all are welcome. And it does not matter if the person who wants to attend comes 1 day a week or 2 or 3 days or maybe all 5 days that we are open, what matters is that we honor and respect the choice made by the individual. The people we serve may choose to be a part of either our Community Program or our Center Program only 2 days a week because 1 day in that week they work and the other 2 days are spent in another activity. We think that is wonderful! That shows that they get to participate where they want and from the choices they make.
As a parent of a disabled adult it is easy to simply assume we know what is best for our child if there is a disability, but what does that child or adult child think of it all? The individuals we serve are people first, and deserve the same opportunities, the same dreams and the same life we have and many times take for granted. We have to advocate for what we want and the individuals with DD themselves need to advocate as well, to communicate their stories, express the experiences they hope to have, and to talk about their dreams.
In my decade of service with The Arc I have learned from the people we serve and as a parent in that same time frame I have learned from my son. I have learned patience, I have learned perseverance, I have learned unconditional love and I have learned that everyone has the right to choose.
The Arc of Augusta not only advocates for the right to choose, but we practice it as well.
Mr. McKeen has served as the Executive Director at The Arc of Augusta since May 2009. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 3 |

Endovenous thermal ablation of varicose saphenous veins (UVSS)
Doctors with certification to perform endovenous thermal ablation of varicose saphenous veins have specialist in-depth knowledge of how to treat varicose veins (varicosa) using thermal methods (application of heat). They use methods such as endoluminal laser therapy and radio wave therapy. They are familiar with the clinical picture of the varicosa (varicose veins) and understand the different stages of the disease as well as the diagnostic and treatment options.
Varicose saphenous veins on the leg are a common venous condition. Around 15–20% of people are affected by this disease during their lifetime. The valves of the affected saphenous veins (Vena saphena magna and parva) no longer close properly. This results in blood accumulating in the leg veins, which then leads to the formation of varicose veins.
Endovenous thermal ablation of the saphenous veins is performed by inserting a catheter and tube into the saphenous veins under the guidance of ultrasound, and then closing the affected veins by applying heat. The heat is generated using a laser light or via radio waves. Prior to the procedure, the veins are closely examined and displayed in an ultrasound image (colour-coded duplex sonography). The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic and on an outpatient basis.
Doctors wishing to obtain certification to perform endovenous thermal ablation of varicose saphenous veins must have a recognised Swiss or foreign specialist qualification as well as certification in phlebology (the diagnosis and treatment of venous disorders) and sonography (ultrasound). Doctors with a specialist qualification in the field of angiology, surgery, vascular surgery or interventional radiology do not require certification in phlebology. The certification is issued by the UVSS (Union of Vascular Societies of Switzerland).

BkiUbb04eIfiUUIxjrH9 | This 1974 Ducati 750 GT is unmistakably a Ducati from front to back, with the Ducati name stamped in the forks and cases, etched into the megaphone exhausts, featured on the instrument panels and tank, and prominent across the rear of the seat (in a view many other riders would see). This 750cc 90-degree V-twin (some have called it the L-twin due to its layout in the frame) was Ducati's first V bike when introduced in 1971. The 1974 model year marked the end of 750 GT production, totaling at 4,093 built. True to Ducati form, the single-overhead-cam cylinders were bevel driven. At just more than 400 pounds dry, the 60 HP at 8,000 RPM proved more than enough power to move the Italian bike swiftly and sweetly down the road. This red and black 750 GT sports Engine No. 752752, a 5-speed gearbox, a front disc brake and rear drum brake, and a flawless profile. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUeGjxK7kjXLlzc7lC | We hear of new things every day, but the Internet is one of the few things that has been explosively popular as it has been the world over. There is a website for everyone, regardless of the subject. There are limitless possibilities for you if you should decide to create a website of your own. Following are some ideas on the subject to get you started.
Look at your site in many different browsers. What you see on one browser is not necessarily what others see on other browsers. Design your site with the limitations of the different browsers in mind. In addition, let someone who uses an operating system that differs from yours check the site for compatibility.
You should frequently peruse various forums and sites to learn more about web design. With a quick search on Google, you can uncover plenty of information that won't cost you a dime to learn.
Make sure that there is a site feature that will allow users to seek for specific content. Many people are coming to your site for a reason, and they want a quick and easy way to obtain the information they need. Without this tool, the visitor might leave and go searching on another website. Normally, the best place to include the search box is in the upper right hand corner, as that is where most visitors look for it.
Check your webpages for broken links before publishing them. A visitor will get very annoyed when they click on a link that takes them to either a blank page or one that gives them an error. Use a program to scan your site to get the job done automatically.
Don't use frames if you want to optimize your website. Users may like pages with frames included, but the information inside of those frames is not included in search engines. You will not get a good search engine ranking if your information cannot be ranked. If you don't do what's necessary to make sure that your site is not ranked very high, people will not find your site very easily.
Do not forget to test your site on several major browsers. Since each browser works a little differently, your coding could be interpreted differently on each one, and in some instances it could cause the website to not function properly. There are a number of resources that you can use to determine what popular web browsers should be tested. Make sure your website works in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and the major mobile browsers.
Choose fonts that are legible, and look professional. You can tell if a site is professional just by viewing their fonts. Don't use handwriting or comic fonts as most people won't have them installed. Unusual fonts can be classified as subsets on a viewer's screen. Your site can look bad when this happens.
One great website creating program is Adobe Dreamweaver. It is ideal for beginner builders and easy to learn. You can add features and use their various layouts and templates.
When you are deciding which hosting service to use, make sure that you understand everything that the package will include. Take note of things like bandwidth, disk space and CPU usage. Find out exactly what you are paying for.
Seek the aid of a web design professional, as they have more experience on the subject and can give you a lot of information. If you seek out professional guidance and stay dedicated to educating yourself, you will almost certainly develop professional-quality web design skills.
If you use the file server FileZilla, you should ensure that the quick menu options have been programmed with your site's information. Your settings can be personalized, saved and quickly selected when you log onto your server. You will be surprised at how much time this can save you.
Time management is key to creating a website. There are all kinds of small tasks when building a site that can be tempting to put off. Soon, you will realize that these small tasks have added up and you will become overwhelmed. Finish any tasks whenever they come up.
Consider duplicating code you already have to create new pages for your site. When you can re-use pre-existing code with only a few minor tweaks in each different page, generating all-new HTML code over and over is a waste of time. This method allows you to make countless copies of the master code.
Be sure you don't have ads on your page that are way too big because that distracts people. Overly large advertisements can turn people off and keep your content from getting to them. Properly adding content to avoid clutter will help you create a professional image for your site.
Make sure your interface tools are simple for users. Be sure links that were previously clicked on changes color and that underlined text is clickable. If you do these things, your visitors will stay on your site longer as well as return for more info at a later date.
Becoming an expert at cascading style sheet (CSS for short) is something to pursue. This type of style can separate your site from the rest. Cascading style sheets create consistency in your formatting. This also allows you to easily change stuff on your site. Then, if you feel like changing all of the font color to green (or purple), you only have to change one line of code.
It can seem simple, but putting a logo on the site can help it perform better. A logo should make you stand out and express who you are. If your attempts at creating a logo fall flat, hire someone to figure out a design for you.
Creating a website that leaves your own personal mark online is easy when you understand web design basics. The better you design it, the more popular your website will be. With the great advice above, you will be ready to create a popular website. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUffU5qhLBvG9b_clu | Ruth Negga (2nd from right) stars as Mildred and Joel Edgerton (right) stars as Richard
in Jeff Nichols LOVING, a Focus Features release.
Credit : Ben Rothstein / Focus Features
Mildred Jeter and Richard Loving grew up in the rural unincorporated town of Central Point, Virginia. They met in high school, spent time together, and eventually, when Mildred became pregnant, decided to marry. But this was the 1950's and Mildred was African American and Richard was white. Virginia had anti-miscegenation laws which made their marriage illegal. How did these two young people get beyond Jim Crow and fall in love? Well that had a lot to with Central Point VA.
Central Point was and is still a very rural area. At a distance of about 90 miles south east from Washington DC it was community with a history of poor farmers, black and white, ignoring the rules of segregation, living together. According to a 2012 article in the Washington Post, Central Point and Caroline County has had a long history of people of all races forming family units.
Today many people say they "don't see color," but I have always felt that is a cop out that allows people to hide their racism. Richard and Mildred saw beyond color. They understood the reality of the world of segregation that they lived in, but they saw beyond those laws. By growing up in an integrated community they were able to see beyond the social construct of race to reality of their love.
Loving - The official Trailer
On Friday Nov 4th, Loving will open in theaters across the country. Writer/Director Jeff Nichols' wonderful tribute to Richard and Mildred Loving is a powerful presentation of their love and strength. Like his subjects, this movie lives in the silences between the things that are said and left unsaid. This was a couple very much in love, and who wanted to live their lives in peace and quiet. They were not activists looking to change the world.
Mr. Nichols uses silence like a sword. Whereas another director might have a character give a rousing speech about segregation and fighting racism, Mr. Nichols trusts his audience to know history. Watching this excellent movie, it is clear that Mr. Nichols understands that viewers can read thoughts and feelings without dialog.
By Source, Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=13624396
It helps that he has cast two excellent actors in the lead roles. Ruth Negga's portrayal of Mildred Loving embodies Mildred's dignity and her determination to live a better life. Ms. Negga has been acting for several years in Ireland and England, and recently has had roles on ABC's Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. and now in AMC's Preacher. Ms. Negga plays Mildred as a pillar of strength, who both holds her family together and is the impetus behind filing the court case that ended the anti-miscegenation laws and opened the doors that have led today to marriage equality for all.
To play Richard Loving, Jeff Nichols selected Joel Edgarton. Born in New South Wales, Mr. Edgarton has a lengthy resume, including Star Wars Episode II and Star Wars Episode III, The Great Gatsby, and Exodus – Gods and Kings. Mr. Edgarton imbues the role of Richard Loving a palpable tension. Mr. Loving wants to raise his family in peace and to protect his wife and children but he doesn't want to rock the boat.
Mr. Nichols brings out all of these emotions without having the long declarations that outside of hands of a writer like Shakespeare, often feel forced. Instead he lets his actors live in the situations. The Lovings were quiet people who wanted to live quiet lives. Mr. Nichols has brought them out from history to speak loudly on issues that are as important and timely today as they were fifty years ago. And he did it by trusting his actors to deliver their feelings without long speeches. And he trusts his audience to follow him and his wonderful actors through this journey.

BkiUd3I5qYVBhG4-S5Ks | What's the Difference Between Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning?
July 29, 2016 by Michael Copeland
This is the first of a multi-part series explaining the fundamentals of deep learning by long-time tech journalist Michael Copeland.
Artificial intelligence is the future. Artificial intelligence is science fiction. Artificial intelligence is already part of our everyday lives. All those statements are true, it just depends on what flavor of AI you are referring to.
For example, when Google DeepMind's AlphaGo program defeated South Korean Master Lee Se-dol in the board game Go earlier this year, the terms AI, machine learning, and deep learning were used in the media to describe how DeepMind won. And all three are part of the reason why AlphaGo trounced Lee Se-Dol. But they are not the same things.
The easiest way to think of their relationship is to visualize them as concentric circles with AI — the idea that came first — the largest, then machine learning — which blossomed later, and finally deep learning — which is driving today's AI explosion — fitting inside both.
From Bust to Boom
AI has been part of our imaginations and simmering in research labs since a handful of computer scientists rallied around the term at the Dartmouth Conferences in 1956 and birthed the field of AI. In the decades since, AI has alternately been heralded as the key to our civilization's brightest future, and tossed on technology's trash heap as a harebrained notion of over-reaching propellerheads. Frankly, until 2012, it was a bit of both.
Over the past few years AI has exploded, and especially since 2015. Much of that has to do with the wide availability of GPUs that make parallel processing ever faster, cheaper, and more powerful. It also has to do with the simultaneous one-two punch of practically infinite storage and a flood of data of every stripe (that whole Big Data movement) – images, text, transactions, mapping data, you name it.
Let's walk through how computer scientists have moved from something of a bust — until 2012 — to a boom that has unleashed applications used by hundreds of millions of people every day.
Artificial Intelligence — Human Intelligence Exhibited by Machines
King me: computer programs that played checkers were among the earliest examples of artificial intelligence, stirring an early wave of excitement in the 1950s.
Back in that summer of '56 conference the dream of those AI pioneers was to construct complex machines — enabled by emerging computers — that possessed the same characteristics of human intelligence. This is the concept we think of as "General AI" — fabulous machines that have all our senses (maybe even more), all our reason, and think just like we do. You've seen these machines endlessly in movies as friend — C-3PO — and foe — The Terminator. General AI machines have remained in the movies and science fiction novels for good reason; we can't pull it off, at least not yet.
What we can do falls into the concept of "Narrow AI." Technologies that are able to perform specific tasks as well as, or better than, we humans can. Examples of narrow AI are things such as image classification on a service like Pinterest and face recognition on Facebook.
Those are examples of Narrow AI in practice. These technologies exhibit some facets of human intelligence. But how? Where does that intelligence come from? That get us to the next circle, machine learning.
Machine Learning — An Approach to Achieve Artificial Intelligence
Spam free diet: machine learning helps keep your inbox (relatively) free of spam.
Machine learning at its most basic is the practice of using algorithms to parse data, learn from it, and then make a determination or prediction about something in the world. So rather than hand-coding software routines with a specific set of instructions to accomplish a particular task, the machine is "trained" using large amounts of data and algorithms that give it the ability to learn how to perform the task.
Machine learning came directly from minds of the early AI crowd, and the algorithmic approaches over the years included decision tree learning, inductive logic programming. clustering, reinforcement learning, and Bayesian networks among others. As we know, none achieved the ultimate goal of General AI, and even Narrow AI was mostly out of reach with early machine learning approaches.
To learn more about deep learning, listen to our Deep Learning 101 podcast with NVIDIA's own Will Ramey.
As it turned out, one of the very best application areas for machine learning for many years was computer vision, though it still required a great deal of hand-coding to get the job done. People would go in and write hand-coded classifiers like edge detection filters so the program could identify where an object started and stopped; shape detection to determine if it had eight sides; a classifier to recognize the letters "S-T-O-P." From all those hand-coded classifiers they would develop algorithms to make sense of the image and "learn" to determine whether it was a stop sign.
Good, but not mind-bendingly great. Especially on a foggy day when the sign isn't perfectly visible, or a tree obscures part of it. There's a reason computer vision and image detection didn't come close to rivaling humans until very recently, it was too brittle and too prone to error.
Time, and the right learning algorithms made all the difference.
Deep Learning — A Technique for Implementing Machine Learning
Herding cats: Picking images of cats out of YouTube videos was one of the first breakthrough demonstrations of deep learning.
Another algorithmic approach from the early machine-learning crowd, artificial neural networks, came and mostly went over the decades. Neural networks are inspired by our understanding of the biology of our brains – all those interconnections between the neurons. But, unlike a biological brain where any neuron can connect to any other neuron within a certain physical distance, these artificial neural networks have discrete layers, connections, and directions of data propagation.
You might, for example, take an image, chop it up into a bunch of tiles that are inputted into the first layer of the neural network. In the first layer individual neurons, then passes the data to a second layer. The second layer of neurons does its task, and so on, until the final layer and the final output is produced.
Each neuron assigns a weighting to its input — how correct or incorrect it is relative to the task being performed. The final output is then determined by the total of those weightings. So think of our stop sign example. Attributes of a stop sign image are chopped up and "examined" by the neurons — its octogonal shape, its fire-engine red color, its distinctive letters, its traffic-sign size, and its motion or lack thereof. The neural network's task is to conclude whether this is a stop sign or not. It comes up with a "probability vector," really a highly educated guess, based on the weighting. In our example the system might be 86% confident the image is a stop sign, 7% confident it's a speed limit sign, and 5% it's a kite stuck in a tree ,and so on — and the network architecture then tells the neural network whether it is right or not.
Even this example is getting ahead of itself, because until recently neural networks were all but shunned by the AI research community. They had been around since the earliest days of AI, and had produced very little in the way of "intelligence." The problem was even the most basic neural networks were very computationally intensive, it just wasn't a practical approach. Still, a small heretical research group led by Geoffrey Hinton at the University of Toronto kept at it, finally parallelizing the algorithms for supercomputers to run and proving the concept, but it wasn't until GPUs were deployed in the effort that the promise was realized.
If we go back again to our stop sign example, chances are very good that as the network is getting tuned or "trained" it's coming up with wrong answers — a lot. What it needs is training. It needs to see hundreds of thousands, even millions of images, until the weightings of the neuron inputs are tuned so precisely that it gets the answer right practically every time — fog or no fog, sun or rain. It's at that point that the neural network has taught itself what a stop sign looks like; or your mother's face in the case of Facebook; or a cat, which is what Andrew Ng did in 2012 at Google.
Ng's breakthrough was to take these neural networks, and essentially make them huge, increase the layers and the neurons, and then run massive amounts of data through the system to train it. In Ng's case it was images from 10 million YouTube videos. Ng put the "deep" in deep learning, which describes all the layers in these neural networks.
Today, image recognition by machines trained via deep learning in some scenarios is better than humans, and that ranges from cats to identifying indicators for cancer in blood and tumors in MRI scans. Google's AlphaGo learned the game, and trained for its Go match — it tuned its neural network — by playing against itself over and over and over.
Thanks to Deep Learning, AI Has a Bright Future
Deep learning has enabled many practical applications of machine learning and by extension the overall field of AI. Deep learning breaks down tasks in ways that makes all kinds of machine assists seem possible, even likely. Driverless cars, better preventive healthcare, even better movie recommendations, are all here today or on the horizon. AI is the present and the future. With Deep learning's help, AI may even get to that science fiction state we've so long imagined. You have a C-3PO, I'll take it. You can keep your Terminator.

BkiUf_w5qhLB215XNc_B | A new Subaru Forester arrived this week – the fifth generation of an SUV that was pretty much a pioneer when it first arrived in 1997 – SUV's back then represented 10 per cent of the market, 21 years on and that figure has risen to 42 per cent and growing. The latest Forester loaded with new technology, bigger in the cabin, and now with just one naturally aspirated 2.5-litre petrol engine, a revamped seven-step CVT automatic and with prices that now start from $37,990 drive-away, a price lift of $3,390. A four-model all-wheel-drive Subaru Forester range that differs little visually in a body that offers new found cabin width and rear storage. Still, one of the few medium SUV with a full–sized spare. This latest Forester offers much polish on road, ride and steering give it a quality feel and its sensibly spec'd with either 55 or 60 series tyres on 17 or 18-inch alloy wheels depending on model. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUa_LxaJJQnHaRveC8 | Tonight, Columbia will usher in the final month of the decade with pomp and circumstance. In what has become an annual Columbia winter tradition, students, professors, and administrators alike will gather on Low Plaza as Columbia illuminates the lights adorning the trees on College Walk. They will then proceed to John Jay Lounge to participate in the annual Yule Log Ceremony. On a campus where many bemoan a lack of community, the Tree Lighting and Yule Log Ceremonies create a sense of tradition and collegiate pride, and all members of the Columbia community should congregate on Low Plaza at 5:45 p.m. to enjoy free refreshments as Michele Moody-Adams, the dean of Columbia College, presides over this Columbia tradition for the first time. Though it is now an integral part of winter at Columbia, the Tree Lighting Ceremony is a relatively new tradition. According to a 1999 article in Columbia News, the first Tree Lighting Ceremony was held in December 1998 and was organized by the Columbia College class of 2000. Since then, the ceremony has acted as a way to bring all students, regardless of religious affiliation, together to watch the lighting of the trees lining College Walk. This year, CCSC invites students to join the ceremony at 5:45 p.m., which will last until 7. As per tradition, students can enjoy free hot chocolate and apple cider with cookies as they watch Dean Moody-Adams turn on the lights along College Walk. The Yule Log Ceremony, which in recent years has immediately followed the Tree Lighting Ceremony, is a more historic tradition at Columbia. The ceremony features speeches from deans, the lighting of a log in the John Jay Lounge fireplace, and a closing reception with free desserts. According to a 1995 Columbia Record article about the event, the act of setting a log ablaze in the winter comes from Scandinavian pagan rituals, and the ceremony at Columbia traces its roots to before the Revolutionary War. Almost a century ago, former University President Nicholas Butler made the yule log lighting an annual and idiosyncratic Columbian tradition. A highlight of the ceremony is the reading of "A Visit from St. Nicholas," a poem composed by Clement Clarke Moore, CC 1798. The ceremony also showcases campus musical groups and is organized by the Blue Key Society. This year, with new deans heading Columbia College and the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the Tree Lighting and Yule Log Ceremonies will continue to gain greater significance, as they represent the continuation of time-honored Columbian traditions while new faces join and lead our community. Students should take advantage of this unique opportunity to build school spirit and community and should join the deans at these two events. Opportunities for Columbia students to gather together in a single place for no reason other than school spirit are few and far between, making tonight's ceremonies all the more meaningful. And besides, how many other chances do we have to eat dessert on Columbia's dime? | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbow5qrqCyhFpGqit | 1957/58 was a school year I will always remember as the longest and most miserable year of my life.
It was my first year in the 'big' school – Ashmead Secondary Modern – and I remember vividly Christmas 1957.
Having worked my way through junior school quite happily, Ashmead was a different proposition.
It was undoubtedly a good school, but I had suddenly been separated from all the friends I had grown up with over the previous four years.
Then, having just missed out on a grammar school place, I was put into a special stream with a grammar syllabus, along with boys from other schools.
Not a problem for most kids, but as a shy and nervous individual with very little self-confidence, it became a nightmare very quickly. I was seen as the easy target for some of the others and I had not made a single friend of any of my 30 classmates.
It was therefore a huge relief to be able to escape for the two glorious Christmas holiday weeks.
I rushed home, the last three months temporarily forgotten because tonight my Dad would be coming home with the Christmas tree.
I knew he would arrive later than usual, because with the tree balanced between the saddle and handlebars of his bike, it meant a two mile walk.
But it was worth the wait, because as always my father had selected a six foot beauty. At least that's how it appeared to my young eyes.
No sooner had he gulped down his dinner, than we set to work decorating.
The galvanised bucket of garden earth had been put aside and we soon had the tree 'planted'. Red crepe paper was wrapped around the bucket and we began dressing the magnificent fir.
Our one and only set of 12 lights with their large tear-drop shaped multi-coloured bulbs were hastily draped over the branches. Then a dozen glass baubles and candle holders with real candles and a few odd plastic snow flake ornaments were hung, all of which we kept from one year to the next. And finally, a blizzard of tinsel to fill the many gaps.
Surely the best tree ever!
Christmas has always been a special time, but none more so than the one 61 years ago, when for me it meant a brief and magical respite from a twelve month ordeal.
