BkiUdWPxK7Ehm79fcwyV | Terribly sorry luvs, this week's Bootleg Cookie is, as you've noticed, late. Things are shaking up at the day job and... anyway. I've actually completely rebuilt the intro, outro and look of both my shop and main character to better reflect the changes that happened over the months. What will still be the same will be how the customers will look as generic and as far as possible from their real life counterpart (Most of whom I already forgot what they really look like). Now, as for this week's episode, it SHOULD show up later tonight, as I spent what little free time I've had lately on the above-mentioned details. I'll work on the new episode soon as I get home. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUbBM5i7PA9KOTT7qQ | The plugins below are optional, but recommended for certain functionality as seen in the Chef Pro theme demo. Alternative plugins will likely work just fine, but may not have been styled or tested specifically in this theme.
Below are the relevant settings as configured in the Chef Pro demo.
The Chef Pro theme adds (2) featured image sizes.
The featured-single image size is 700px wide, supports any height, and is not hard cropped. This featured image is automatically placed below the entry title & meta data and above the post content on single posts.
The featured-square image size is hard cropped at 700px square. This is the preferred image size for blog/archives in order to keep a consistent grid.
You can change these images sizes by editing the following code and then regenerating the thumbnails using the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin.
The Genesis Simple Edits is recommended in order to set the blog/archive Entry Meta (post info) like you see in the Chef Pro demo. It's also the easiest way to edit the footer copyright text.
The theme supports both text based logo (default) or a logo image which you can upload via the customizer.
To add a logo image instead of the default site title text, navigate to Appearance > Customize > Site Identity > Select logo. Recommended size of your logo file is 600 × 180 pixels.
The Chef Pro demo is configured with a menu set as both the After Header Menu and the Footer Menu.
Alternatively, or in addition, a Navigation Menu widget can be placed in the Header Right widget area under Appearance > Widgets. This will shift the site title or logo to the left.
With the exception of the Front Page Hero widget area, the Chef Pro theme does not have a widgetized homepage which means setup is extremely simple. Under Settings > Reading you can set your homepage to show latest posts or if you prefer, you can set a static page as the homepage and a separate static page as the posts page.
The Header Right widget area in the Chef Pro demo is left empty which forces the site title/logo in the center position.
Alternatively, the Header Right widget area can be configured with a custom Navigation Menu widget, an image using the Image widget, or it can be used for ad placement.
The Top Bar in the Chef Pro demo has been configured using the Simple Social Icons plugin widget and configured as shown below.
Alternatively, you can add a short text message using the Text widget which will look something like the screenshot below.
The Chef Pro demo is configured with an optional Front Page Hero widget area which you can activate by dragging a Text widget to the Front Page Hero widget area and entering some content. The h2 tag is styled at a larger size, but you can use whatever content you'd like.
You can swap out the default background image with your own by navigating to Appearance > Customize > Hero Background > Change image. For reference, the default background image used in the Chef Pro demo is 1900 x 800 pixels.
An opt-in using the Genesis eNews Extended plugin.
Featured posts using the Genesis Featured Posts widget with number of posts set to (4).
Featured pages using the Genesis Featured Page widget using (4) separate instances.
The Archive Widgets area displays on archive/category pages only. The widget area is flexible and will adapt for either one, two, or three widgets.
In the Chef Pro demo, it's configured with (3) widgets to help users find content: Categories widget (display as dropdown), Archives widget (display as dropdown), and a Search widget.
The Before Footer Widgets area is full-width and can support various types of widgets, but has been specifically styled for an opt-in (as seen on the Chef Pro demo) using the Genesis eNews Extended plugin and also for an Instagram feed using the WP Instagram Widget plugin.
Below is how the Genesis eNews Extended opt-in is configured in the Chef Pro demo.
The After Footer Widgets area is full-width and can support various types of widgets, but has been specifically styled for an an Instagram feed (as seen on the Chef Pro demo) using the WP Instagram Widget plugin and also for an opt-in using the Genesis eNews Extended plugin.
Below is how the Instagram feed is configured in the Chef Pro demo.
There are (3) Footer Widget areas available for just about any type of widget you'd like to use. The Chef Pro demo is configured using the Recent Posts widget in both areas one and two, while the third widget area is using the Text widget with some simple text content.
The After Entry widget area will display after single post entries if populated. Use this area for anything from affiliate disclaimer text, an opt-in, an ad spot, etc. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbfTxK5YsWTJsOEh2 | 10 Online Safety Tips for Kids and Families.
You don't need us to tell you how important online safety for your family is, especially if you have kids still living at home. Local and national news sources help illustrate this point almost every day with stories about online scams, Internet perverts, and worse. But today we're going to help you prevent any more of those stories by giving out some basic online safety tips for you and your family.
With the proper guidance, you can help make sure that you've done everything you can to help your kids surf safely on the Internet. Take a look at the list we've compiled below and see if there's anything here you haven't tried yet.
Always sit with younger children when they're online. Keep a few bookmarks that they can easily access to get to kid-friendly web sites.
Help your kids create fun online nicknames that don't give away personal information.
Keep any computers that are connected to the Internet in an open area where your children can be easily supervised.
Let them know that it's not OK to use the Internet to gossip, cyberbully, or threaten anyone online, even if they mean it as a joke.
Let your children know that it's OK to tell you if something (or someone) on the Internet makes them feel uncomfortable or threatened.
Make sure they know it's never OK to meet an online friend without parental permission.
Set clear rules for appropriate Internet use. Things you should consider are the types of web sites that are off limits, specific Internet hours, and what (if any) information can be shared online.
Talk to your children about what web sites they visit and who they're chatting with.
Talk with your kids about computers and be open to their questions.
The online safety tips we've listed above are a good starting point for any family with children who are old enough to use computers, but they are by no means an exhaustive list. Monitor how much your kids use the Internet, see what's working and what isn't, and stay involved.
If you think we've missed anything, or if you have a story about how your family talks about online safety, please leave a comment below. We'd love to hear from you. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbt_xK6nrxjHzAIPO | MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — The U.S. military says it has carried out an airstrike in Somalia that killed four members of the al-Shabab extremist group.
The U.S. Africa Command says this is the 19th such airstrike this year against the Somalia-based al-Shabab, the deadliest Islamic extremist group in sub-Saharan Africa.
The U.S. also has carried out a number of drone strikes against a small presence of fighters linked to the Islamic State organization in northern Somalia.
Friday's statement says the latest airstrike was carried out Thursday about 74 miles (119 kilometers) northwest of the capital, Mogadishu. Al-Shabab often targets the capital with deadly attacks.
The U.S. says it assesses that no civilians were killed. Somali officials and residents at least twice in recent months have alleged that civilians were killed in airstrikes. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUejg5qhDCHWDRFDzP | Cashing Out: Why Has Iran's State Oil Company Decided to Dump the Dollar?
Tehran has taken revenge on Washington for years of US-driven economic warfare against Iran: the National Iranian Oil Company has announced that Iran will only accept payment in euros, not dollars, for its oil, F. William Engdahl notes, adding that Saddam Hussein had adopted a similar 'petroeuro' practice, prompting the US to invade Iraq.
On January 16, 2016 SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) announced that it was readmitting all Iranian banks into the payment system following an official report from the IAEA that Tehran met the requirements of the nuclear deal.
"The EU stated that European companies, including oil companies, were no longer prohibited from doing business with Iran. The Obama Administration, however, was not so generous. The US Treasury stated that 'the US embargo will generally remain in place, even after Implementation Day, because of concerns outside of Iran's nuclear program'," American-German researcher, historian and strategic risk consultant F. William Engdahl writes in his article for New Eastern Outlook.
Welcome to the Club: Will Wall Street Tame the Chinese Dragon?
Washington's move hardly took Tehran by surprise: Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has repeatedly claimed that Obama administration officials cannot be fully "trusted."
However, the Iranian leadership is not going to fret and fume over the White House's decision to lift only a portion of its sanctions on Iran. Instead, the Middle Eastern grandmaster has made its own move.
"In gratitude for 37 years of USA economic sanctions being lifted, on February 5… an official of the National Iranian Oil Company has announced that Iran will accept payment only in euros, not dollars, for its oil. The official added that that rule applied to newly signed deals with France's energy giant Total, Spain's refiner Cepsa and Russia's Lukoil," Engdahl points out.
"Our top priority is to receive cash and oil demands in euros," Safar-Ali Karamati, Deputy Director of International Affairs for Marketing and Crude Oil Operation in the National Iranian Oil Company, told Shana on February 6, 2016.
Citing Iranian Minister of Petroleum Bijan Zangeneh, the media outlet elaborated Tuesday that foreign oil companies that owe Iran billions of dollars would be compelled to settle their debts in euros.
"Greece's Hellenic Petroleum, Italy's Saras and Royal Dutch Shell own Iran about $4bn which will be paid back to Iran in euros," Shana reported, adding that Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC), Japan and the Netherlands have started to repay their debt to the Central Bank of Iran.
"Why is this such a big deal, you might be asking? In and of itself it isn't," Engdahl remarks.
The crux of the matter is that Tehran's decision coincided with similar moves among other nations of Eurasia, most notably Russia and China. The countries are shifting from the dollar to national currencies in their oil trade. To add insult to the petrodollar's injury, Russia is planning to start trading Russian crude oil futures in rubles on the St. Petersburg Mercantile Exchange.
Moreover, Moscow is considering the creation of a new Urals ruble oil benchmark to replace the US-dollar Brent futures at the London ICE exchange, Engdahl emphasizes.
The researcher calls attention to the fact that the dollar's hegemony is rooted in the petrodollar recycling system.
Engdahl's book "A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics" tells the astonishing story of the petrodollar's "birth" back in the 1970s.
"In December 1974, in strict secrecy, the US Treasury Assistant Secretary, Jack F. Bennett, later to become a director of EXXON, signed an agreement in Riyadh with the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA, the Saudi central bank). The mission of SAMA was 'to establish a new relationship through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York with the US Treasury borrowing operation. Under this arrangement, SAMA will purchase new US Treasury securities with maturities of at least one year,' explained Bennett in a February, 1975 memo to Secretary of State Kissinger," the researcher narrates.
That meant the US government was free to run almost unlimited deficits, since Saudi petrodollars would buy US debt, Engdahl explains.
Furthermore, Riyadh persuaded the OPEC oil states to sell their crude for US dollars only. In return, Washington supplied Saudi Arabia with modern American weaponry and turned a blind eye to the misdeeds of the House of Saud.
"The result was a dramatic revival of a sinking US dollar," the researcher points out.
Washington jealously guarded its interests. When Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein began to sell oil for euros, Iraq was invaded by the US and the undesirable regime of Hussein toppled. The petrodollar's hegemony was restored.
All good things must come to an end, though.
The emerging economies of the BRICS are moving away from the dollar and it seems that the end of the dollar-based world economy is around the corner. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUd1k5qU2Ap2aRyTXO | At the heart of Anisha's programmes is the direct outreach to and work with local farmers and landless farm workers. Even after the termination of the official funding by the Federal German Ministry of Cooperation and Development end 2014, Anisha employs sufficient staff to continue with this outreach to local farmers to provide support where needed and train new project participants. Many farmers now conduct their own outreach by training their neighbors in organic methods, providing them with seeds, and taking on leadership roles in the various self-help community groups that Anisha has initiated. Anisha assists project participants in identifying Government schemes for the rural poor and helps in their implementation. Anisha aims to increase household food security and to promote sustainable rural development in Martalli by empowering project participants to adopt successfully the traditional practices of organic farming that used to sustain India until the 60ties.
Another important leg on which Anisha stands is the conservation of native seeds. Farmers depended hitherto largely on seeds they had to buy anew annually because they were genetically engineered and could not be multiplied. Apart from the recurrent expense, farmers depended on what was available in the market which limited the varieties considerably. Farmers and kitchen gardeners who have undergone the training at Anisha know how to harvest, store and multiply their seeds, they pass them on to their neighbours or change them. Thus they have the varieties they need for the family diet and their animals.
Anisha's project participants have learnt to prepare the organic material needed to improve the soil, they know how to prepare the nutrients and pesticides needed for healthy plant growth. And they know how to conserve the scarce water resources through bunding and mixed cropping.
While Anisha's main focus is encouraging farmers to grow enough food to feed their families, they understand that these farmers also must earn a living. To this end, they have created a Farmers' Federation which aims in the future to collectively market their produce. For now, there is not enough converted land to justify this effort an surplus produce is sold directly from the field at good prices.
Anisha uses it`s own label and benefits from a growing sensibility to the importance of healthy and nutritious food.
Anisha has taught the women self help groups to prepare tasty dishes and sweets for parties and feasts, to rear chicken and goats and thus contribute to the family income. The self help groups also run a revolving fund, which they administer themselves with good success, and from which they finance their initial investments.
To be able to keep the Resource Centre going and to keep up the service to the rural community, Anisha is renting out their premises to interested groups and individuals who want to rest in a quiet and thinly populated environment, go on hiking trips or learn about traditional organic agriculture. Anisha has also started to sell seeds in small quantities by mailorder. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUbZ04uzki0oIf_519 | but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #BetterNights http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO.
that she hasn't been able to sleep dry consistently.
four before he was able to sleep through the night without an accident.
So, I assumed the same would be true for Isabella.
They are both HEAVY sleepers. I mean HEAVY.
I can turn the light on and vacuum the floor and neither of them will flinch.
dry wasn't a choice the kids make. It can't be learned or taught.
I was starting to worry all over again.
We were relying mostly on what we call "nighttime underwear" at our house.
However, she's old enough and smart enough to know that they are pull-ups.
she said, "Well, I guess we need to get me some more of those diaper things."
I wanted to try an experiment - no more "nighttime underwear"!
the middle of the night clean-ups that would inevitably happen.
nights if she didn't have the pull-ups to rely on.
Sure, there would be accidents, but I was ready to face them!
up some GoodNites and used the $1.50 coupon I printed off.
but we had never used them at home on an actual bed.
Isabella was super excited because she finally got to wear her big girl underwear to bed.
Let me tell you - they are awesome!
that rolls all over the entire bed, but the 2.5x3 feet mat has been perfect.
of the mat are strong and hold well to the fitted sheet on her bed.
I would avoid using the bed mat on a plush fabric.
a sleeping mat and we had a tough time getting the adhesive off the fluffy fabric.
But it just pulls right off of her cotton fitted sheet with no problems.
the size of the mat in comparison to her four-and-a-half-year-old self.
the GoodNites mat is hiding under there.
We're going on our third week of GoodNites bed mats success!!!
at about 11:30 - I get her up and have her go again.
so it made clean up at 4am easy peasy and she was able to get back to sleep quickly.
your preschooler, I highly recommend the GoodNites.
I know this is a sponsored post, but really, I am so glad we have them.
I had at least three people say how much they love them.
and you'll save $1.50 on your purchase. | c4 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
BkiUbDc4eILhQCVbdAIm | What do you do in the real world? I'm a teacher!
Tell us more about your decision to join roller derby: A friend of mine was the bench coach for the team in my hometown in Arkansas. I decided to try it out one night and never looked back!
What's your favorite derby memory? That would be a tie between accidentally taking out a chick who was standing up in the Penalty Box during my very first jam of my very first game and when I accidentally hugged a ref because I was rushing to get out onto the track in time. I also love derby road trips and all the shenanigans that go with that. Also, I was behind Scald Eagle in line for food at RollerCon and had a fangirl moment.
Notable injuries: Not derby related, but I had bone cancer when I was 18 and as a result only have of my fibula in my right leg. I also have nerve damage in my right leg and ankle, so they are nowhere near as strong or stable as my other leg. I manage very well, but sometimes there are things I physically cannot do in drills or practice. It has never really been an issue. However, my doctor already told me that I will probably have a knee replacement by the time I'm 40, so if I ever land hard on my knee, then I have to take it especially easy.
You know her by the initials B.M.F. It's number 28, SLAMYOU L. JACKSON! | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUbeg5qoaAwnMw77xF | Sporting adventures in the Algarve
Consistent weather, exhilarating dusty tracks, long snaking roads and luxurious greens, if you like a sporting holiday, the Algarve has it all. The exclusive resorts which line the golden sands of this famous southern stretch of Portugal cater for every imaginable sporting obsession. But it's not all gloves, sweat and tears. Step away from the activities and you will discover cultural references in the resort architecture and regional flavours in the restaurants.
The big players
The giants of golf & tennis in the Algarve, Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, offer just about every sporting facility available under the sun. Performance centres, specialised academy's, a football and a riding school are in high demand for those who want to enhance their practice. While the opportunity to kayak, bike, hike or swim offer alternative outdoor activities to the favoured sports of golf and tennis.
One of the top-rated golf destinations in Europe and the amongst largest in the Algarve, Quinta Do Lago boasts three world-class golf courses nestled amongst the umbrella pines of the 2,000-acre estate. Easily accessible from Faro airport, the courses, golf academy and performance centre have built up an unrivalled reputation in the Algarve. And the resort frequently hosts the glitterati of golf during the Portuguese Open. The manicured greens, challenging bunkers and palatial clubhouses are indeed impressive. But it is the stunning sunset views from the 10, 11 and 15 to 18 on the South course which take your breath away.
A tennis lovers mecca, the Vale do Lobo offers a busy year schedule of coaching and tournaments throughout the year. Out of season temperatures vary from twelve to twenty degrees. These pleasant levels are perfect for practising on one of the ten hard courts, or four synthetic grass courts. With Intensive or semi-intensive packages which include up to ten hours of group coaching, you can understand the temptation to improve your level and have fun in the sun.
There are plenty of well-documented mountain bike routes in the Algarve. Most of the challenging trails are further inland. But there are a few good two-three hours ride close the Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo resorts. One such intermediate loop takes you along the natural beauty of bird invested marshlands of the Ria Formosa before circling around the back of the resort to near Almancil and onto Faro town.
The perfect tarmac which weaves around the quiet roads of the Algarve resort is ideal for cycling on a daily basis to build up fitness. For some serious climbs, you need to head for the hills. The elevation of the Serra de Monchique offers seasoned cyclists a significant challenge. For the best scenic rides, the roads towards Sagres, to the west of the Algarve or Tavira to the east, offer rewarding routes. But beware unlike the smooth surfaces of the resorts, portions of the ride are unpaved and difficult to ride in places.
Cultural references
The Moorish influence of whitewashed buildings, decorative chimneys and castles are most evident in the Algarve's oldest towns of Faro, Tavira and Silves. However, there is an echo of Arabic architecture in the 'cubic', flat-roofed design of many of the villas and apartments. And the regional dishes of the exclusive resort restaurants pay homage to the past with ingredients such as almonds, figs, carob and citrus fruit within their recipes.

even though we're moving in a month, we'll still be in the same cheap building in the scuzzy part of town...but I suppose it could be worse. I am forever grateful that it's spacious at least...and only cheap because of the location and old building issues...but hey the place has had lots of make-up put on, so it doesn't look THAT bad! ha. We've already been here 5 years...and we hope to be here another 5! hehe So yeah, totally understand the feeling.
And about he ponytail. GOOD JOB!
I am the worst at throwing my hair in a pony tail for the day.
I'm also rather jealous tht you and Lindsey get to hang out! OK seems like the place to be!
The lamps and table look great...can't wait to see what kind of picture you might find.
Your apt looks great! :-) And I love my Kraft magazine -- everything always looks so yummy - and easy to make!
Also, where did your get your ottoman thingy (not sure what to call it :)? I am looking for something similar and would love to know where you got yours!

totally jealous of your lunch date. someday!!!
I've got several recipes from that Kraft magazine on the menu for the next two weeks.
Love the end tables and the lamps! I'm looking for lamps too, maybe I'll check Kirkland's out!
And I love the end tables! They look fantastic!
I'm so glad to have come across your blog! You are too funny and I find myself laughing at your posts because they hit so close to home! Kraft is a huge part of our familie's menu and you can never, ever outgrow mac 'n cheese! I can't wait to introduce it to my little guy!
So jealous of your lunch date!!
I put my hair in a ponytail at about 8.30 this am. Yea... I fail.
I check out Kraft Foods online for recipes, they're pretty easy. I saw a recipe you found on Val's blog, I am definitely trying that meatball sub soon!!
I love doing lunch with bloggy friends! Hopefully I can meet with you soon!
The living room looks great! | c4 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 |

If you have not travelled to Florida before we have outlined a few pointers for your information. If you need to contact us by telephone from Europe please call us after 11.30 European time. Anna Maria Island is a small, friendly island community that welcomes and appreciates overseas visitors who come to the island for rest, relaxation sun and fun.
This covers you in case of cancellation of your trip. Choose one that covers both the cost of your flight and accommodation. Check out the policy carefully so you fully understand what you are covered for.
Do not leave home without taking out a Travel Insurance that also covers medical emergencies. Make sure your insurance covers you for travel in America. The excellent Pinnacle Medical walk-in clinic 941-761-1616 (similar to UK GPs – General Practitioners) for minor accidents and ailments is just over on the mainland – approx 10 minutes drive. Blake Hospital comes highly recommended by many island residents. It is a large, modern and extremely well equipped hospital that offers a comprehensive range of medical services. Dr Guy Yatros at Island Dental Spa offers emergency dental treatment for visitors.
Blue Sky Airport Limo Service – Tel USA 941 366 3500 Will pick up from Tampa or Sarasota Airports. Phone and pre-book this service before you leave home. If you are not renting a car then this is the way to travel down to the island. The drivers are local and know how to get you to your property efficiently and speedily with no fuss airport. This service does not cover Orlando Airport.
A small car in the USA is similar to a medium in Europe. All cars have air conditioning. Beware some companies try to sell you extra personal insurances – if you have travel insurance you may not need them. Most of our overseas guests rent a car from one of the major companies such as Hertz, Budget or Dollar. However if you want to book Blue Sky Limo collection at Tampa airport and then rent a car during your stay, phone the local company named U-Save on 941 747-7743 for a quote. They will deliver the car to your door and then arrange to pick it up before you leave.
We have two excellent local taxi services who will take you anywhere on the island or over to the mainland. Also why not try out the little island trolley that runs up and down the island, passing by every 20 minutes. There are plenty of stops and it is a great way to explore. It also has a bike rack on the front so if you want to cycle out and ride back this is a fun way to travel. The island is entirely flat and there are many cycle paths, so rent a bike and explore using pedal power from AA Baby rentals Tel 941 778-3441. They will deliver to your door and pick up. Orlando is the world's number one attraction which draws huge crowds. Lining up with children for hours in the Florida heat is extremely tiring, so make sure you have plenty to drink and wear comfortable shoes and clothes. A whole week of theme parks is exhausting. Our suggestion for a really enjoyable vacation is to unwind after your flight on the island and enjoy the sun, sea and sand, then make a one or two day excursion to Disney during the course of your vacation. We are happy to advise you on obtaining inexpensive overnight accommodation in Orlando.
Cribs, cots, high chairs and other baby equipment can be rented at AA Baby rentals Tel 941 778-3441. Phone or visit their website to reserve these items. They will deliver and set up the items and then collect them on the day you leave. Cribs come complete with set of sheets. Make sure small children wear sun hats, T-shirts and sunblock to prevent sunburn. Nearby shops sell them, plus a great range of beach toys, buckets & spades. Walgreens and Eckerd both pharmacies which sell many baby items plus prescription and non prescription drugs.
Prices in Florida are generally much less expensive than in Europe. We have excellent casual and beachwear on the island. For really serious shoppers the nearby town of Bradenton is home to an incredible factory outlet mall where you can "shop till you drop". Also really worth a visit is De Soto Mall just over on the mainland, with three large department stores, diverse small shops, coffee shops and restaurants. Trainers, sports gear, cosmetics, sunglasses, luxury name brand clothing lines, jewelry, shoes, CDs, cameras plus a myriad of other items.
Make your journey easy, travel light. You have a large washer and dryer in your vacation home – you can buy great beach clothes & swimsuits here on island. Bring a light jacket for cooler evenings in winter months and wear cool comfortable cottons and sunhats/shades. If you are planning to take a trip up to Busch Gardens in Tampa or Disney in Orlando wear comfortable trainers.
We place a local information file in your vacation property with the answer to almost every question that has been asked of us by our guests. This contains emergency numbers, contact information, getting around, things to do and places to visit, info on your property, services, taxis, local restaurants and general island info. Our two local island newspapers can always be picked up at Publix Grocery store on the island and are a mine of information for visitors on local events, new restaurants to visit, fishing news and all the local gossip. The Anna Maria Island chamber of commerce office also has a plethora of maps, brochures and leaflets plus info on local tennis courts, golf, water sports, boat & jetski rental, scuba diving, boat trips, fishing trips and area events.
We look forward to welcoming you to Anna Maria Island.

BkiUdvo5qhLBWkLTSWLD | Hall of Fame Resort and Entertainment Company Secures Financing to Facilitate Completion of Phase II Development
Senior financing is secured to support completion of Hall of Fame Village football-themed waterpark and Hilton Tapestry Hotel
CANTON, Ohio, Nov. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company ("HOFV" or the "Company") HOFV HOFVW))), the only resort, entertainment and media company centered around the power of professional football, today announces that it has secured key financing pieces totaling $78 Million to help facilitate the completion of the remaining Phase II assets for the development of the Hall of Fame Village.
HOFV has secured $50 Million from a special purpose entity under Oak Street Real Estate Capital, LLC, a division of Blue Owl ("Oak Street"), based in Chicago, on a sale-leaseback transaction to help build the planned football-themed waterpark. The company also secured substantial backing from its largest shareholder, Industry Realty Group, LLC ("IRG"). IRG's multiple levels of support include a commitment of completion guarantee for the football-themed waterpark, a term sheet for a $28 Million senior loan to build the onsite Hilton Tapestry hotel at the Hall of Fame Village, as well as the restructuring of existing debt owed to IRG.
The Oak Street financing, coupled with the commitments from IRG, and other financing vehicles, will enable HOFV to complete the final two assets of its Phase II Development that in turn enhances revenue generation for all its business as it continues to open several unique sports-themed assets at the Hall of Fame Village campus.
"These two financing arrangements are significant signs of progress toward achieving the stated end goals of our Phase II financing plan. Our strategy to capture "just-in-time financing," and our ability to articulate our process to shareholders and lenders, has allowed us to improve our debt profile and generate value for our shareholders – even in in the face of the global pandemic and the difficult and escalating interest rate environment," stated Michael Crawford, HOFV president and chief executive officer.
The final two assets completing Phase II Development will be located at the north end of the campus, adjacent to the Fan Engagement Zone. The 147,000 sq. ft. football-themed waterpark will be highlighted by a waterslide tower, lazy river, wave pool, zero entry fun zone, swim up bar, and outdoor entertainment area. The seven-story, 154,000 sq. ft. premium Hilton Tapestry Hotel will feature 180 guestrooms, 10 suites, a large ballroom, several meeting rooms, an indoor pool, as well as a full service 106-seat restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating.

BkiUbn04eIXguy2tOIUc | How Wizz Air Plans to Take Advantage of Brexit
- Nov 08, 2018 12:30 pm
Brexit might end up being pretty painful for the European aviation industry, especially those airlines with big operations into and out of the UK. Will Wizz Air be able to take advantage of this turbulence? We'll have to wait and see.
— Patrick Whyte
While Brexit continues to worry most of the European travel industry, low-cost airline Wizz Air thinks the UK market still offers plenty of opportunities.
In May, the company started flights through its subsidiary Wizz Air UK, set up in part to mitigate the impact of the UK's impending departure from the European Union.
It now currently operates seven aircraft with plans for three more and CEO József Váradi believes the company is now in a good position.
"We continue to believe that the UK is a unique Western European opportunity for Wizz. And we will use Wizz UK as an operating platform for expanding our reach in the marketplace," Váradi told investors on an earnings call this week after the release of the company's half-year results.
"On the one hand, this is a Brexit contingency, but on the other hand we think Wizz UK actually can be a consolidating platform in the UK. And there might be more turbulence coming and we will make sure that we have a position here in the UK to further expand our business.
"That doesn't mean buying airlines or other business. We are not going to buy any airlines. But we might be acquiring assets what we can fold into our operating platform."
Brexit isn't the only cloud on the horizon for airlines. The price of fuel is still a worry — although it has fallen in recent weeks and many in there are some in the industry that think there are still too many smaller carriers.
In recent years a number of airlines have collapsed, including Air Berlin, Monarch and most recently Primera Air.
Testing Times
Even though Wizz Air plans to take advantage of instability within the industry, it is not immune to these issues.
Summer air traffic controller strikes as well as increased fuel costs forced the company to cut its net profit guidance from a range of $355-$389 million (€310-€340 million) to $309-$343 million (€270m-€300 million.)
"The encouraging revenue environment, robust demand and an improved operational performance combined with our relentless focus on costs will enable the Company to offset approximately half of the fuel headwind which is estimated at around $92 million (€80 million) for the full year and disruption costs," Váradi said.
The company reported a 20 percent rise in revenue to $1.6 billion (€1.4 billion) for the six months to the end of September. Profit in that same period fell 1.7 percent to $338 million (€295.5 million.)
Tour Operator Closure
Wizz Air also used its market updates to confirm the closure of its in-house tour operator Wizz Tours.
Rivals such as Ryanair and EasyJet are investing in broadening their product portfolio and so the closure comes as something of a surprise.
Wizz Tours made a half-year loss of $2.3 million (€2 million) on revenue of $13 million (€11.4 million.) The small contribution to the overall business—less than 1 percent of total revenue—perhaps explains the decision.
Váradi said Wizz Tours was "a very low risk proposition" and it didn't work out because it couldn't achieve the same margins as the airline.

BkiUc-A4ubngw5GMeoSk | The Garden of Hillary: Another plant steps forward
By Michelle Malkin • November 10, 2007 08:30 PM
Update: Chris Muir weighs in…
Who knew Hillary had such a green thumb? Another campaign plant stepped forward earlier today. ABC News reports:
One day after Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign confirmed that a staffer planted a question for the presidential candidate at a recent campaign stop, another person has come forward with a similar story.
Geoff Mitchell, a minister who recently moved to Hamilton, Ill., from Iowa, told ABC News that he was approached this spring by Clinton's Iowa political director Chris Haylor to ask Clinton a question about war funding.
…Mitchell said he introduced himself to Haylor because he had heard of him before and knew that he had worked on Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh's campaign. Before the campaign event, Haylor asked Mitchell if he would pose a specific question about Iraq. The question was about how Clinton would be tough on President Bush about funding the Iraq war, Mitchell said. The event, however, ran out of time before reaching a question-and-answer period.
…The Clinton campaign confirmed to ABC News that Clinton's staffer and Mitchell did speak about a possible Iraq question.
"Chris Haylor and Geoff Mitchell knew each other and they started talking and the subject of Iraq came up," Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee said, "and Chris suggested that he ask a question about Iraq."
Mo Elliethee, spokesman for Clinton's campaign in Iowa, tried to downplay the story in an interview with FOX News:
"It's not newsworthy. It's innocent. It's not yesterday." That was a reference to Clinton's campaign admitting, first to FOX News, that it planted a question on global warming at a Newton, Iowa, event on Tuesday.
In a sense, he's right. Clintonian deception is nothing new.
It's the admission of guilt and the eroding illusion of infallibility that are newsworthy.
Can't wait for Hillary's "Fact Hub" to give us the "straight scoop."
How many other plants in the Garden of Hillary? At least we know what they use for fertilizer…
A Hillar-ious flashback of Sen. Clinton's "the lady doth protest too much" moment(hat tip readers and commenters):
At a campaign stop here, Hillary Clinton sparred verbally for several minutes with a man who pressed her on her recent vote to call Iran's army a terrorist organization.
Randall Rolph, from nearby Nashua, asked why he should support Clinton's candidacy when she did not appear to have learned any lessons from having voted to authorize force in Iraq.
Clinton thanked him for the question and explained her Iran vote would lay the groundwork for using diplomacy and sanctions to pressure that government.
Clinton accused the man of being a plant who had been sent to ask the question, to which he took exception, saying the question was a result of his own research.
"I apologize," Clinton said, explaining that she had been asked the very same question in three other places.
Takes one to know one…

BkiUb9bxK1UJ-2RwVeyQ | Barbara J. Ortmann, 90, of Niles went on to receive her reward on February 2, 2019.
James and Charlotte (Horner) Robbins gladly welcomed their baby daughter into this world on May 6, 1928 in Niles, Michigan.
Soon after graduating from Niles High School, class of 1945, Barbara wed William Ortmann, Jr. on January 30, 1946, at a ceremony in Niles and just recently celebrated 73 years of marriage.
Bill and Barbara worked together for the Lord and were faithful members of Coulters Chapel Church of God for over fifty years. They were both musically inclined and could often be found playing at church; Bill on the guitar and Barb on the bass. Barb's faith was paramount in her life. She found great joy in serving and working for the Lord. For many years Barb made sure the Sunday school teachers had all of their supplies. Her family will miss her steadfastness, her support and love, and her homemade chocolates and red pie!
She is preceded in passing by her parents, and her sister Marjorie Rodebush.
Barb is survived by her husband, William Ortmann, Jr. of Niles; her children, Judy and (Jim) Cripe and Jim and (Jacki) Ortmann, both of Niles. She will also be missed by her six grandchildren, her twelve great-grandchildren and her six great-great-grandchildren.
A time of visitation will be held on Thursday, February 7, 2019 at Brown Funeral Home from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Funeral services will be held Friday at the funeral home at 2:00 p.m. with a time of visitation one hour prior, with Rev. Louis Staubs officiating. Barbara will be laid to rest at Silverbrook Cemetery.

BkiUeGPxK6-gDz87QxOU | Inside Google South Korea as a Google Women Techmakers Scholar
by Brig Lewis | Aug 2, 2018 | Women in Tech
Utter the words, 'I'm going to Google' and a collective awe spreads across faces like seeing your favourite singer on stage for the very first time. Google has undoubtedly reached rock star status in the collective consciousness of almost anyone who has ever had the privilege of accessing the internet, and with good reason. Built in the dorm rooms of two uni kids with a dream and a motto of 'don't be evil', they've created a powerhouse of a company with an ethos and culture to match. That's what most of us thought until we read the now infamous Google anti-diversity memo. Three weeks after Gizmodo released it to the interwebz, I jetted off as an Asia Pacific Women Techmakers Scholar with stars in my eyes but also a bitter taste in my mouth with the echo of the old trope of women being biologically inferior to men, just as Australian Indigenous populations, Jewish people and African Americans have been thought to be at various times in our not too distant past.
The retreat which is held annually at different offices across the globe was held in South Korea for the 71 2017 Asia Pacific Scholars. It's an all expenses paid celebration of the leadership of female students and researchers in tech, and aims to pave a way for us to become active leaders in the field of computer science.
During our stay, North Korea flew a missile over Japan, my mum texted in a panic but most of us were none the wiser. It was a jam packed 4 days that began at 8:40am for a group bus ride to the office and ended with a group dinner that stretched well into the evening. It was to my delight, a celebration of diversity, passion, intense drive and a real and evident social conscience to try and change the dismal numbers of women entering into and staying in tech. Every morning began with learning the dance steps to a Korean Pop song dance routine and each day ended with a group dinner. A culture of togetherness and allegiance to the bemouth that is Google seemed to be embodied in almost everyone I met. It was writ large in their love for the organisation, their Google branded clothes and the language they used to refer their identities.
The retreat presentations were opened by a self-professed 'Gaygler,' a gay Google employee which was a beautiful little affirmation for my flag waving self who knows LGBTI people in South Korea are marginalised and there are few openly LGBTI public figures. Despite this, the Gayglers and their 'Googler' (Google employees) allies, hit the streets in a celebration during Pride. That's what I call walking your talk. The Gaygler went on to say, the face of power is not changing and the room let out a collective nod. That diversity is the new Darwinism because diverse teams outperform non-diverse teams and create more innovation and the importance of speaking up when you see behaviour that is not quite right. Her talk set the scene for the rest of the retreat which explored calling out unconscious bias, the future of search, using Google's BigQuery for data analytics of massive data sets, becoming the change, dealing with being the minority in a room full of men, responding to misogyny, cracking the coding interview and a slew of lighting talks on projects currently happening at Google offices across the world.
If there's one thing that bound each and every presenter, and we witnessed them all day long over the four days, it's passion and depth of knowledge. But most striking was the ability of each person to deliver complex technical material in simple ways that even the most tech challenged among us could digest and engage with. It is this combination of passion, tech skill, communication ability and relatability that really makes Google shine, and I didn't expect it. I stumbled around slack-jawed for days because they made work look inspired and they spoke with a collective humbleness of people who just wanted to share what they knew and make the world a better place.
They even made their notoriously difficult coding interviews seem do-able to career changers like me. It wasn't about doing it all alone in front of a green screen at 3am on remote control in a hoodie, sinking red bull, and frantically bashing a keyboard in a trance like state.
It was about sharing how you think, being able to speak about a problem and what you might do to address it, asking for help, and showing that you could explain a problem, not just solve it.
Not long after my Google experience, I attended a cyber security conference in Melbourne, where I was told that sexism doesn't exist, the gender pay gap is a myth and we live in a meritocracy. It was a reminder of the context in which the anti-diversity memo was written and how far we have to go to make tech a truly welcoming space for women. The Google Women Techmakers Scholars program is one step toward changing the landscape.
Get in touch if you want any advice on applying to become a Google Women Techmakers Scholars this year. It's a trip you won't soon forget!
Apply here to become a 2018 Google Asia Pacific Scholar. For tips, on 8th August Google is running a livestream here.

Elton John denies knowing about Prince Harry and Meghan's royal exit before The Queen
Elton John has denied knowing about close pals Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex's plan to withdraw from royal duties before Queen Elizabeth II.
The British royals announced on Wednesday their intention to "step back" as senior members, while fully intending to "become financially independent" after streamlining their role within the institution, with plans to split their time between the U.K. and North America.
A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper Rocket Man singer Elton was a "rock" for the pair as they debated their future in the royal family, however, a representative for the star insisted to the New York Post's gossip column Page Six the news "came as a surprise" to him.
"The first that Elton heard of the details and timing of Harry and Meghan's plans was when the announcement went up on their Instagram," the spokesperson insisted, refuting claims he knew the big news before Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
A representative for Elton had previously told the Daily Mirror that, "Elton supports the fact Harry and Meghan are admirably taking control of their own lives.
"He cares about them and their family deeply and is fully supportive of any decisions the couple make, knowing they are made by them alone, without outside influence and with their future happiness and well-being in mind."
Tiny Dancer hitmaker Elton previously invited the pair and their son Archie to stay at his private residence in the South of France last August, with the star expressing he feels "a profound sense of obligation to protect Harry and his family from the unnecessary press intrusion that contributed to Diana's untimely death."
Harry, the son of Queen Elizabeth II's heir, Prince Charles, and his late ex-wife, Diana, Princess of Wales, is sixth in line to the throne.

On March 28th, a patch for a vulnerability on Drupal was released to protect the Drupal content management system (Drupal 6, 7 and 8) against the bug that facilitates remote code execution. The Drupal vulnerability was tracked as CVE-2018-7600 and discovered by Jasper Mattson of Druid. Prior to release of the patch, Drupal gave advanced notice of its impending release and noted potential consequences linked to the ease of the vulnerability's exploitation. This led to industry concern over a new "Drupalgeddon", in which a large number of unpatched websites could be compromised.
In a PSA last week on its website, the Drupal team noted that: "The security team is now aware of automated attacks attempting to compromise Drupal 7 and 8 websites using the vulnerability reported in SA-CORE-2018-002. Due to this, the security team is increasing the security risk score of that issue to 24/25." Drupal warned that sites that had not been patched by April 11th may be compromised. Drupal cautioned, "Simply updating Drupal will not remove backdoors or fix compromised sites." They also told users that if their site is already patched, but they were not the ones to do it, that can be a symptom of a compromised site as previous attacks have applied the patch to ensure that only the attacker is in control of the site.
Others are calling the situation Drupalgeddon 2. While the majority of the online activity exploiting the vulnerability appears to represent scanning (to find vulnerable systems), attackers have additionally begun to exploit the flaw to install malware. The SANS Internet Storm Center discovered efforts to deliver a cryptocurrency miner, attempts to deploy a simple PHP backdoor, which lets attackers upload more files to the targeted server, plus an IRC bot written in Perl.
Imperva reported that it had found that 90% of the attack attempts were scanners, 3% were backdoor infection attempts, and 2% represented attempts to run crypto miners on the intended targets. They also noted that 53% of the attacks came from the U.S., with China following just behind at 45%.
Volexity has also been monitoring Drupalgeddon 2, and have linked one of the Monero miner campaigns to a group that managed to make over $100,000 in Monero last year in illicit cryptojacking campaigns.
Industry researchers initially expected exploits almost immediately following the release of the flaw online; however, the first attacks weren't detected until two weeks later, following the making public of technical analysis and a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit.
"It appeared every one of the black hats was waiting for someone else to do the research and share the exploit. Perhaps most hackers don't care for the actual work of finding ways to exploit a vulnerability. They just wait until something is public and then use it to attack. Before that, we saw almost no traffic whatsoever!" Imperva said.

BkiUbTI5qU2Ap15jcgGw | Abstract: Many nuclear DNA-binding proteins also bind RNA, often inexplicably. For example, the histone methyltransferase Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) binds nuclear RNAs with high affinity and limited specificity, but it has been highly controversial whether these interactions are functionally important. We have used CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to introduce an RNA-binding-defective mutant PRC2 into human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and find that the mutant iPSCs have a striking defect in cardiomyocyte differentiation. Genome-wide analyses reveal how RNA binding is essential for maintaining epigenetic repression. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUfIo4uzliDF8orImk | Do you measure more than the six basic emotions?
Yes, in addition to the six basic emotions: happiness, surprise, fear, sadness, disgust and confusion – we also calculate measures of engagement and valence, and a general negative emotion classifier.
Engagement: a measure of whether participants have any expressive reaction to a stimulus.
Valence (Net Positivity): a measure of whether a reaction is more positive or negative. This measure helps to elucidate the emotional "tenor" of the viewing experience by deducting Negative from Positive.
Negative (Net Negativity): a measure of whether participants are showing an emotion classified as negative.

While debates about adolescent sexuality education persist in the United States, little attention has been paid to adult sexuality education. Research suggests that teachable moments may be present in interactions between adult bookstore employees and the consumers who shop at these venues. The purpose of this study was to explore the potential for in-home sex-toy parties as an avenue for adult sexuality education for women. A total of 1197 women who facilitate in-home sex-toy parties for a large US-based company completed an online questionnaire related to their experiences facilitating these parties. As part of this larger survey, participants reported in an open-ended question the three most commonly asked questions they received when facilitating a party in the previous three months. Questions reported (n=3149) were analyzed for commonalities using qualitative methods. Resulting themes were then compared with Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS) guidelines for comprehensive sexuality education to assess the potential for teachable moments at the events. Of the 36 topical areas identified by SIECUS, 31 areas were represented in questions reported by consultants indicating a strong potential for teachable moments related to sexuality education. In-home sex-toy parties may provide an additional avenue through which to increase adult sexual literacy.

BkiUeeTxK6-gDw5Awb3m | SARKAR CONTROVERSY: LEGENDARY DIRECTOR'S BREAKING STATEMENT!
Legendary director Bharathiraja, who has given a lot of classic films, is currently awaiting the release of his next film, titled Om. The film has Bharathirajaa, Nakshatra, Joe Malloori and Mounika playing crucial roles. Talking to Behindwoods, revealed exciting details about Om and also opened up on various topics like Sarkar smoking controversy and his experiences working with Ilayaraja, Vairamuthu, Madhan Karky and Kabilan Vairamuthu.
When asked about Om, he said "Om stands for Old Man. This is the life of an old man, who is a novelist. He is not that famous, but has won Sahitya Akademi Award and the film traces his life." He also registered his opinion ion the Sarkar controversy by saying "What is wrong in smoking. If smoking is really an issue, then let us ban cigarettes in this consumption of liquor is wrong, then ban liquor. Selling liquor because it is revenue for the government and then asking not to show them in cinema is wrong. We are only portraying what is in the society."
The legend also shared an interesting anecdote of how they met Vairamuthu. "During the film 'Nizhalgal', Ilaiyaraja and I were sitting and reading Vairamuthu's book. We were impressed and called him to work with us. He was a lean man and after coming to meet us, he offered chocolates saying his wife had given birth to a son. Ilaiyaraja thought he was not good enough. So, Ilayaraja composed a tune and asked him to write lyrics. The result is what you see as 'Idhu Oru Ponmaalai Pozhudhu."
People looking for online information on Bharathiraja, Ilaiyaraja, Om, Sarkar, Vijay will find this news story useful. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUbuLxK7FjYHGHynDj | campaigning for improved health and social care for disabled children, young people and their families.
We are not asking for disabled children to be singled out or treated differently. We are asking for fairness.
But in England today, this simply isn't happening. Disabled children face four big challenges.
The Disabled Children's Partnership exists to: address the lack of health and social care services; improve the quality of services available; make sure families can access those services; and ensure professionals communicate with each other and work together.
But, we can't achieve this when nearly half of the British public (43%) don't know anyone who is disabled so are simply unaware of the challenges they face.
The truth is we need public support, understanding and empathy to affect change and make a lasting difference to the way disabled children are treated in society.
In order to achieve the change we need, we will bring the realities of the lives of disabled children, young people and their families closer to people across England.
Help us fight to make this change.
Help us create a country where disabled children and young people have the right support and access to the same opportunities that most of us take for granted. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdxXxK7Tt52mM9nTy | Swiss voters just empowered shareholders to restrict and restrain corporate abuses. The US should follow their lead, especially when it comes to corporate influence on campaigns.
Actually, the 68 percent support for Sunday's Swiss referendum that gives shareholders broad new powers to curb excessive pay for bankers and corporate executives might well be shy of the mark that the US could hit.
Polls of American voters have regularly shown that over 70 percent favor restrictions on executive compensation, with even self-identified conservatives registering majority support for clamping down on CEOs.
And rightly so. It is not jealousy that motivates concerns about CEO pay. As the AFL-CIO's Executive Paywatch campaign notes, when CEO pay rises so too does income inequality. In 2010, as the United States emerged from the depths of the Bush recession, a study by University of California economist Emmanuel Saez found that the top 1 percent of Americans captured 93 percent of the growth in income.
Worse yet, CEOs use their money to game the system so that they get richer while the great mass of Americans are squeezed. More than 120 CEOs are currently supporting billionaire Pete Peterson's "Fix the Debt" campaign, which is chaired by Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson. A deficit-reduction plan proposed by Bowles and Simpson last month would slash cost-of-living increases for Social Security recipients while at the same time reducing the top marginal tax rate for corporations and the wealthy.
In Switzerland, anger at "golden handshake" and "golden parachute" deals for executives who ran corporations poorly and seemed to be more concerned for their own good than for the long-term economic prosperity of their country, led by small businessman and parliamentarian Thomas Minder to mount a populist campaign to increase the authority of shareholders to regulate errant CEOs.
As in the United States, that's the sort of proposal that gets a lot of talk but that was not likely to go far in the corridors of political power in Switzerland. Luckily, Switzerland has a long history of allowing citizens to initiate and implement legislative changes. Under Swiss law, any issue can be put to a national referendum if supporters of a vote attain 100,000 petition signatures seeking the test. In recent years, the Swiss have voted on people's initiatives to guarantee "six weeks of vacation for everyone," to put an "end to the limitless construction of second homes" that crowd Alpine villages, to expand the ability of tax-supported building society savings to finance energy saving and environmental measures, and to require money gained from maintaining casinos be used for the public interest.
The Minder Initiative serves as an important model for US discussions about increasing shareholder rights. And that discussion can and should go well beyond the question of CEO pay.
In 2010, the US Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling removed barriers to unlimited corporate spending on US political campaigns. At the same time, highly compensated CEOs are among the biggest direct donors not just to individual campaigns but to so-called "Super PACs" that flood the airwaves with negative advertising.
In 2011, Congressman Michael Capuano (D-MA) introduced an American Shareholder Protection Act to empower shareholders to vote on whether to allow CEOs and corporate boards to spend company money on political campaigns. "Shareholders—not the CEO and not the board of directors—are the real owners of any publicly traded corporation, and the decision should be theirs," argued Public Citizen in campaigning for the measure, which attracted forty-nine co-sponsors.
Public Citizen has also led the campaign to get the Obama administration to crackdown on federal contractors that use corporate money—from accounts padded with taxpayer dollars—to fund campaigns. Which raises an interesting question: Could the president issue an executive order giving shareholders of companies that contract with the government the authority to decide whether those firms should play politics with corporate money?
The Swiss vote for the Minder Initiative is drawing a lot of attention in the United States.
That's good. Hopefully, it will lead to greater pressure for reducing excessive CEO pay.But it is essential to recognize that simply regulating CEOs is not enough.
And, make no mistake, if the United States had a national referendum model like Switzerland, we would not have to wait for Congress to act. The voters would pass a Shareholder Protection Act. And probably by a wider margin than Switzerland's 68 percent.

BkiUd905qU2Ap3wn8GRq | Along with today's release of the Sony A9 firmware v5.0, Sony as also released a pair of mobile apps. Sony Imaging Edge Mobile now replaces the somewhat terrible PlayMemories app, and there's a new Transfer & Tagging add-on for it which enables continuous FTP transfers in the background (for the Sony A9) which they claim doesn't affect continuous camera use.
The background transfer currently only seems to apply to the Sony A9, thanks to the new v5.0 firmware released today. The new firmware for the A9 also allows high bit rate 4K video transfer from your camera to your mobile device, too. Presumably, this feature will also come to the Sony A7III and A7RIII in a month or two when they get their new firmware updates, too.
As with the previous PlayMemories app, you can capture photos remotely using P, A, S and M modes, and preview your shot on your mobile device's display. Cameras that have the "location information linkage function" can also acquire GPS data from your phone and saved into the file on your camera.
The Transfer and Tagging add-on works with the A7III, A7RIII and the A9, however, the FTP background transfer requires the A9 with the new v5.0 firmware for now.

While the new app was supposed to be a reinvention, a big drastic change from the PlayMemories app of old, the reviews on the Google Play Store so far aren't so positive, with every review left today except for one being one star. Of course, the previous app hasn't been doing much better. But from reading the reviews, the new app isn't really any different to the old one – unless you own an A9, perhaps.

BkiUdak5qoTA3qq3mR3F | Dar es Salaam's Ramani Huria 2.0 project is one of the most comprehensive community mapping projects currently ongoing. A large use case for the collected map data is improving knowledge on flood hazard, vulnerability and exposure, all three components of the risk framework. Mapping of the type, dimensions and state of the drainage network is an important component and has the potential to establish detailed flood inundation models that can be used to simulate floods at unprecedented scales.
Earlier, we reported on the state of the drainage mapping after Ramani Huria 1.0. Now, all drains are being remapped with a detailed drainage model and with attention to connectivity. The first 20 wards have been mapped and in this blog we report how well underway we are.
A specialized Ramani Huria drainage mapping team has been active in surveying drainage data, cleaning and quality checking with the result that there is now accurate drainage data for Mikocheni, Msasani, Kinondoni, Mwananyamala, Sinza, Kijitonyama, Hanansifu, Ndugumbi, Makumbusho, Mzimuni, Tandale, Manzese, Buguruni, Vingunguti, Magomeni, Kigogo, Mchikichini, Ilala, Mkurumula and Mburahati. Let's show you the results with interactive maps, and refer back to how we did it. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbSo5qsMAIoJibJPl | On the Field With the Miracle League of Manasota
"Every child deserves to play baseball" is the league's simple, heartfelt credo.
By Hannah Wallace August 26, 2014 Published in the September 2014 issue of Sarasota Magazine
"Every child deserves a chance to play baseball"—that's the simple and heartfelt credo of the Miracle League of Manasota, the local branch of a national nonprofit that provides equipment, facilities, organization and support so that children (and more than a few adults) with disabilities can experience the national pastime. And it's a full experience, too: Umpires, concession stands, a national anthem ceremony and more add richness to the two 10-week seasons per year. Games are played at a custom-built field that was completed in 2012. Young adults (ages 15 and up) serve as volunteer "buddies" to assist players in swinging the bat, fielding and rounding the bases. On Sept. 13, the Miracle League of Manasota will begin its sixth season. The field is located at 6050 Longwood Run Blvd., Sarasota.
Players come from throughout the community, as well as Community Haven and other local agencies. Buddies come from local high schools, churches and IMG. Wheelchair-accessible dugouts and a completely flat surface eliminate barriers to wheelchair-bound and visually impaired players. The cushioned rubberized surface helps prevent injuries. At the end of the season, players get a trophy and goodie bags with donated items—usually including Baltimore Orioles and Pittsburgh Pirates swag. (Both Major League teams are big sponsors.) Players' ages range from 4 years old to a few in their 70s and 80s. "We try to keep age groups similar on each team," says Dan Tellor, head of operations. "Umpire Russ Larsen (left) has been with the league since Day One," says Tellor. "He has yet to call a player out." 250 Miracle League organizations around the world, including Canada and Australia, serve more than 200,000 current players 8 teams / 121 players / 60 buddies per day Participated in the spring 2014 Manasota season Rules of Play Every player bats once each inning. All players are safe. Every player scores a run before the inning is over (last one up gets a home run). Each team and every player wins every game.

BkiUeoTxK7IAG1E_0hQK | Thursday 21st of august: the day my stay in Novosibirsk ends. I had a Super time here. And through this way want to thank all my old and new friends for their part is making this stay wonderful. My alarm went off at 6:15. I did not have breakfast in the fridge so why get up very early and then sit and wait on the couch… I took of the bed linen, washed my last glass after the usual shave and shower. Packed my last thing and threw away the garbage. Five minutes early before the driver arrived… very good.

By Carly Mensch
Review by Cy Ashley Webb
Living in the Manhattan, one is always aware of what came before – if only because one's obscenely priced 6th floor walk-up with claw-footed bathtub in the kitchen has been divided into even tinier digs since it was first inhabited at the turn of the century. This encounter with history inspired a 1982 recording at the Speakeasy on Houston Street by Mark Dunn and Brian Rose:
History B and C,
death and democracy
Winter has come and blown it to bits
Twenty five by ninety, built 1880,
Six floors to walk up on the lower east side
Time is winding these tenement stairs
As the poor play musical chairs,
What Dunn and Rose did musically in the early '80's, Carly Mensch did theatrically in 2010 with Now Circa Then, which just opened at TheatreWorks.
Here we meet historical re-enactors Gideon (Matt R. Harrington) and Margie (Kimiye Corwin), who play Julian and Josephine Glockner, a pair of Jewish immigrants to the lower east side at the turn of the last century. Margie is an unlikely re-enactor, a Japanese midwesterner in a Jewish role, who landed this job with no interest in history or experience in acting. She's a raw contrast to Gideon moves in a world of re-enactors as a means of escaping the present.
The romantic comedy that ensues is laugh-aloud funny. Now Circa Then doesn't stop there, however. As time winds the tenement stairs, Gideon and Margie use the roles of Julian and Josephine to express the tensions in their relationship to such an extent that Margie and Josephine become one and the same, at times. The comic results provide a novel take on a bildungsroman, or coming of age story that is sure to resonate with anyone who lived in a major city in their early twenties.
This show is hugely effective, in part because Matt R. Harrington and Kimiye Corwin deliver flawless performances. Moreover, the richly appointed set, costuming, and music interspersed between what passes for individual acts take this play to a whole new level. Now Circa Then is playing at the Lucie Stern Theatre in Palo Alto. This show is well-worth taking in, especially if you want to visit a younger version of yourself.

BkiUasjxK2li-Hhr9h5l | Let The Jet Engine Take You Home.
The jet engine provides the Ventus-2cxaJ with a small, handy sustainer engine system that can is easy to operate, yet small and light. All Ventus-2cxa can be retrofitted with this system.
This snappy and agile racing machine has been rigorously adapted to the demands and requirements of ambitious competition pilots. Thanks to the optionally available short 15 m outer wings, flying in the FAI 15 m class does not require any compromises.
With the Jet sustainer engine, Schempp-Hirth offer another save way to return home besides the Turbo sustainer system (developed by Prof. Oehler) - and one that matches the specific requirements of a competition pilot.
The incremental weight of the jet engine motorization is only a few kilogramms. Because of the compact method of construction of the Käppeler system in combination with the jet engine PSR-T01 it is possible to install the engine system and the corresponding fuselage tank into a Ventus-2cxa. In this minimal configuration, the engine range is still sufficient to reach a near-by airfield in powered flight. If your don't need any further range, you will get an engine system with an unbeatably small weight, but optional wing fuel tanks can increase the maximum range.
The jet engine requires a mixture of kerosine (JET A1) and a special oil. The electrical power for the jet engine is provided by a separated battery with its own circuit.
Jet engine operation is very simple thanks to the mostly automated JET Engine Control Unit that prevents operator errors: The extension and start of the jet engine, which was tested up to a speed of 100km/h, is triggered by a single switch; engine performance is controlled by a knob. The JET Engine Control Unit is monitoring all important engine parameters and prevents overrevving the engine.
The engine thrust is available over the full authorized speed range. So the Pilot can choose between a maximum rate of climb like with the Turbo engine system (from Prof. Oehler) at a speed of approximately 95 km/h or a horizontal flight at a speed of approximately of 150 km/h.
After shutting down and cooling down, the engine is automatically retracted.
If required, the engine can be dismantled in a few simple steps and you can fly the airplane as a pure glider.
More Space and Better Visibility.
The completely revamped fuselage has longer overall fuselage length and a newly designed, larger tail optimized for the 18 m wingspan. The cockpit has a slightly longer design and can now accommodate pilots up to 1.9 m height. The new, drag reduced fuselage is also 2 cm wider, offering more leg-room and generally providing more room where needed. Even tall pilots will find ample space in this fuselage.
The canopy rim is cut back, allow better all-round vision for more safety. To further enhance comfort and safety, the fuselage now has a suspended, 5 inch aluminum wheel with a superior working disc brake.
In cooperation with Dr. Karl-Heinz Horstmann (wing geometry, airfoil) and Prof. Mark Maugher, PhD (new winglets), the outer wing has been completely redeveloped. Following concurrent reviews of the design and test results, an optimally tuned outer wing and winglet could been created.
The proven tail units from the Ventus-2ax/bx models with the low drag airfoil from Prof. Loek Boermans and the advantageous double trapezoidal geometry of the elevator were further optimised by extending the tail's span to suit the new 18m wing. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 1 |

Earlier Burgee
Australian Yacht Clubs currently (2009 Navy List) Entitled to a Special Ensign.
Perth Yacht Club established 1865.
1882. P Y C in white on blue burgee.
19 May 1890. Granted title 'royal'. The club website says that "at the same time it was announced that the Lords of the Admiralty had granted the Club the Royal Warrant to fly an undefaced Blue ensign." This may have been a misunderstanding as on 13 March 1903 the Administrator at Government House wrote to the Admiralty requesting a Blue Ensign for the Royal Perth Yacht Club. A reply dated 24 March 1903 indicated that it was intended that a warrant would be issued, and that individual applicants for warrants should apply through the Club Secretary.
[National Archives ADM 1/7670]
1891. At a General meeting it was decided to replace the existing burgee with a white burgee bearing a red St George's cross with a crown in the upper canton.

BkiUbcc5qsJBji8afzlV | Lying about your work experiences or putting in any false information is a mistake in any case, and not just on your job resume. Some people try to fabricate information in order to impress potential employers and getting a better chance of getting hired. But these can also work against the job applicant in case the employers and hiring managers find the inconsistencies and discover the lies. You might be better off sticking with the truth with what you put on your resume. Most of the time, employers would appreciate that.
Although employers would want to know as much as they can about you, it would be a mistake trying to put it all on your job resume. Some people make the mistake of not simply sticking to the essential personal details. Job applicants are advised not to include personal details such as age, religion, race, political affiliation and other unnecessary details from their job resume. Such information can sometimes be used to discriminate against job hunters and may actually do more harm than good on their employment chances.
While including a personal photo along with the job resume seems okay in the past, it is not as required in today's job market. Although some industries may require applicants to send in a personal photo along with a job resume such as for those who work in entertainment, it is generally no longer required. It can be easy for employers to discriminate among job applicants by their appearance if a headshot is included with the resume. Since it is illegal to do so in today's job market, employers would appreciate receiving job resumes without photos to avoid this problem, unless a photo is specifically required.
Some job applicants really want to give such a high impression of themselves through their job resume to the point that they might sometimes include things that was once considered confidential matters from their previous job. There are many jobs that require a certain level of confidentiality. Even though you may have left that job for a better opportunity, sharing those confidential matters on your resume to get a better impression can be considered as poor judgment. It can even land you into trouble in case your former employer discovers what confidential information you might have shared on your job resume. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUc73xK4tBViZLFNGR | Successful Transitions Course
Interim Executive Director
How to successfully hire and transition a corporate candidate
November 11, 2018 October 29, 2018 by Ingrid Kirst
We've all seen the applicants: yet another middle manager has "found their calling" and wants to transition from a corporate job to a nonprofit position. It's easy to be skeptical that they just need a job and will leave as soon as they find a higher paying position. But some people really are ready to make the transition from the business world into a cause they care about. How do you find those people and how do you help them make the transition?
During the application and interview process, here are some key factors to look for:
Have they volunteered regularly at nonprofits? Have they served on a board of directors? Why do they want to work at a nonprofit? How long do they want to stay?
What is their career goal in the next 5 years? (You'll want to hear they are making a career of nonprofits.)
Convey the realities. Do they know that the computers are 5 years old and that there's no administrative assistant to help them? Do they know that there are few office supplies and no company car? Talk about the decision making process and help them understand that it can take a lot longer than in a corporate environment. Making sure they get a tour of the office will help as well.
Are they going to come in and demand that the nonprofit do things like the business world? That probably won't be a good fit. Both sides can learn from each other, but there will always be differences. A good question is "What would you do in your first month on the job?"
Look at transferable skills. A good manager can be a good manager in any institution. Someone with finance knowledge has to learn some new skills in a nonprofit, but generally will be able to transition well. Sales experience can translate to fundraising experience, especially if the sales experience has focused on building long-term customer relationships. Ask the candidate to explain how their skill set will transfer. A thorough answer shows that they have prepared for the interview.
Encourage the candidate to think through if it is the right move for them. It can be a challenging transition and some people are better off staying in their corporate jobs and being a great board member.
While candidates will expect to earn less money in a nonprofit position, there are plenty of other benefits that matter to everyone. Those who have made the switch from nonprofit to for-profit say, "I have definitely felt more valued as an employee working for a nonprofit than I did in the private sector." (Source) "The focus on mission over money was a big adjustment for me as I had been trained that profit was the sole factor in measuring success." and "Since switching to the nonprofit sector, I have encountered much less emotional stress and mental toxicity while gaining flexibility and predictability in my work hours and a healthy day-to-day environment. " (Source)
As these quotes show, being respected and working on projects for which you have a passion are both important for any staff member. Emphasize these characteristics of the position. As well, you can talk about other benefits, such as a flexible schedule, nights and weekends generally off, options to work from home, less stress overall, and less need for a fancy wardrobe.
Don't dismiss an applicant from the private sector out of hand, but do consider their skills and interests carefully. And if you do hire that person, take the time to help them learn the culture and so they feel like they fit in.

BkiUcl3xK7Tt522WZ1pI | Matthew Richards won last Sunday's winter finale at Hebden Bridge Golf Club, the top 16 stableford play-off.
Despite atrocious weather there was some amazing scoring with Richards notching 41 points, followed by Jonny Cockroft with 38 points and Ash Hewitt in third.
Cockroft was keen to tell anyone who would listen later in the clubhouse that if he'd been able to find his plugged ball he may well have won, adding that the R & A should perhaps look at changing the rules.
Hewitt, who had won the winter league the previous Sunday, was in the money yet again but generously put his winnings behind the bar.
Captain Jonathan Sutcliffe thanked steward Geoff Dardis for his hard work since taking over six months ago and then handed over the Winter League prizes, assisted by Noel Russell, son of the late Sheamus Russell after whom the trophy is named.
Hewitt won with 77 points, closely followed by Gav Brumby with 75, Steve Scholes on 72 and Lee Amos and Matthew Fisher tied in fourth on 64 points.
The next Halifax-Huddersfield Alliance meeting of the season takes place at Bradley Park next Tuesday.
Hebden Bridge have been represented in four of the eight events so far while Todmorden had players just at Ogden in late November.
The Halifax-Huddersfield Union season gets under way with a match between the senior and junior representative sides at Saddleworth on Sunday, April 12.
Hebden Bridge and Todmorden are among the six venues to be used for the first round of the scratch and handicap foursomes competition on Monday, May 18.
Hebden Bridge is one of three venues for the second round of the junior foursomes on Monday, June 15.
Todmorden will co-host the junior match play quarter finals, along with Bradley Park, on Tuesday, July 21. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdSA5qWTBFbb2fHsE | A Brief History of Lighting
Throughout history, humans have relied on natural or artificial lighting to light their way, perform tasks after dark or create a cosy atmosphere. Reliable, efficient lighting plays an important role in modern life, and lighting technology has come a long way to get to where we are today. From early fires and candles to the invention of the first lightbulb, see below for a brief history of how we've lit up our homes through the ages.
Early fire
Humans have been using controlled fires for light and heat for around 120,000 years, and it's thought that this discovery was made independently by people all over the world. Wildfires could be kept burning by adding animal dung or wood – and soon after, early humans discovered how to spark their own fires using flints. Historians believe that fire was used to light cave drawings and bring them to life, as well as being used as a storytelling device.
Many early civilizations used the sun, moon and stars to dictate the structure of their days, and these natural light sources had a significant influence on architecture too. The Pantheon in Rome is designed around an open-air circle in the roof of the dome, which allows concentrated light to fill the whole building. The stones of Stonehenge are also thought to have been placed in alignment with the movement of the sun.
Candles and oil lamps
Candles were invented all the way back in 3000 BCE, and were made from beeswax or tallow (a derivative of animal fat). Candles were the most common light source (along with fires) until the invention of the oil lamp by French chemist Ami Argand in 1780. This was a major breakthrough in domestic lighting, with the lamps producing the same amount of light as ten candles.
Gas lamps and light bulbs
William Murdoch invented the gas lamp in 1790, and by the 1820s there were more than 40,000 gas lamps on London's streets. Gas lights began to enter middle-class domestic homes in the 1840s, although impure gas caused a range of issues including unpleasant smells, headaches, blackening of walls and stifling heat.
Electric lights were developed during the 1870s by several different inventors across the globe, and Thomas Edison patented his version of an incandescent light in 1879. It could burn for 13 and a half hours, and formed the prototype for the modern light bulbs we see today.
Lighting today
Electricity didn't make its way into the majority of domestic homes until after the First World War. The National Grid was established offering safe, reliable lighting at the flick of a switch. Nowadays there are many forms of lighting available, including energy saving bulbs, LED lights, fluorescent strip lights and more.
If you're in need of professional lighting and electrical solutions in Glasgow and beyond, get in touch with Interlink Lighting. We have a full range of light and electrical services including lighting design, maintenance, LED lighting, electrical installation and more.

BkiUanzxK6EuNCvenUrA | In order for vitamins to be utilized by the body, they must first be converted into their active coenzyme forms. This more potent Coenzymated B-6 is in its active form; ready to go to work immediately. Pyridoxal-5'-Phosphate (PLP or P-5'-P) is the main metabolically active coenzyme form of vitamin B-6. It is primarily in the liver that P-5'-P is synthesized from vitamin B-6, with the help of enzymes that require B-2, zinc, and magnesium for their activity. P-5'-P activates over 100 enzymes, many of which are involved in the conversion of amino acids into the neurotransmitters dopamine, norephinephrine, and serotonin. P-5'-P is also required for the synthesis of the hemoglobin molecule. It also plays an important role in regulating homocysteine levels.

BkiUcyM5qdmC6lzyv3yC | Behind doctors' social networking Web sites
Brandon Glenn
From top-dog Sermo to upstarts like Ozmosis.com and iMedExchange.com, the number of networking sites dedicated to physicians have proliferated recently.
After examining a woman suffering from severe pelvic pain and heavy bleeding, Danine Rydland, MD, knew she needed a drug that would suppress the patient's menstruation in preparation for her hysterectomy.
But the West Virginia ob/gyn didn't know exactly what to prescribe. At first, she thought birth-control pills were the answer, but she wavered after considering a host of complicating factors: The patient was a smoker over 35, suffered from a history of heart problems, and had pelvic surgery as a child.
Unsure of how to proceed, Rydland requested permission from the patient to post a description of the condition and history on http://www.Sermo.com, a social networking Web site for physicians. The patient consented, and a lively discussion ensued: In the days that followed, more than two dozen posts addressed Rydland's query.
A self-described Sermo addict, Rydland, 53, spends about two hours on the site each weekday and six hours over the weekend. "I like the community of doctors," she says. "I have made cyber-friends. They understand my problems and share my triumphs."
Judging by the number of similar sites popping up, an increasing number of doctors share Rydland's view.
At first considered little more than a refuge for teenagers discussing indie bands and cheerleaders, social networking sites have exploded beyond the bounds of MySpace and Facebook. From top-dog Sermo to upstarts like http://www.Ozmosis.com and http://www.iMedExchange.com, the number of networking sites dedicated to physicians has proliferated in the past year, offering opportunities to share advice on clinical situations, practice management-even what wine goes best with grilled salmon. And it's not just young doctors getting involved; the average age of Sermo members is 49.
But not all physicians are sold on social networking. Critics cite concerns over doctor-patient privacy, usefulness of shared information, and the looming specter of malpractice implications. What's more, some argue that Sermo, in particular, exploits its members by selling access to investment firms and other outside groups to observe physician interactions. Controversy may be brewing three years into the era of online physician networking, but the trend shows no signs of slowing.
A NEW KIND OF DOCTORS' LOUNGE
Daniel Palestrant, MD, was a surgical resident in the Boston area when the banter inside his hospital's physician lounge sparked his imagination.
He noticed that doctors learned a lot from informally chatting with colleagues, but they had no means of sharing, comparing, or evaluating those insights with members of the wider medical community. In 2006, Palestrant launched Sermo, named after the Latin word for "speech," with the vision of forging a platform for physician communication and collaboration.
Thus far, finances have not been a problem: Legg Mason Capital Management, a blue-chip private equity firm that is one of Sermo's major investors, has already poured some $40 million into the company, says Adam Sharp, MD, Sermo's chief medical officer and one of its first employees.
"The greatest unknown was: Would physicians buy in?" Sharp says.
More than 105,000 Sermo members have answered resoundingly. Enrollment has more than doubled from a year ago, and the site is adding new members at a rate of more than 1,000 a week, according to a spokeswoman.
"There are times many of us feel like we're on an island," says Baltimore ob/gyn Christos Ballas, MD, who opened his Sermo account in 2007, after reading about it in The Wall Street Journal. "[Sermo] makes me more comfortable knowing I'm not alone. I felt like I had immediate company with people in my own shoes."
Similar to MySpace and Facebook, Sermo contains profile pages that allow users to list their professional backgrounds, post blog entries about anything from clinical problems to vacation destinations, and use the site's self-contained e-mail program for personal, out-of-public-view communication between members.
"The unique thing is that you've got people from every specialty," says Elizabeth Pector, MD, a family physician from Naperville, Illinois, and an avid Sermo surfer. "You get an idea of what challenges psychiatrists, pediatricians, and oncologists are facing on a day-to-day basis, some sense of how they think, and what evidence they're taking into account when deciding on a treatment regimen."
Once, Pector posted a picture of her own swollen, aching wrist and asked for feedback on what the problem could be. Numerous diagnoses came in, ranging from arthritis to psoriasis to trauma. But after visiting a hand specialist, Pector learned the ultimate cause of her inflammation: "Two hours a day of clicking on a mouse," she says. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUfUjxK7IAD7XMKKb2 | Since I know not everyone who reads my blog in Manila is associated with the embassy, I figured I should spread the word… And here I always thought Manila was a super-safe place for us! Let's hope this warning remains just as a warning. (On that note, US Citizens in Manila should definitely register with the embassy to get notifications as well, more information is on the message below.) And I guess any expat, even if not American, should have some caution. From experience, people here often assume white = American.
THE EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES IS TRANSMITTING THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AS A PUBLIC SERVICE TO U.S. CITIZENS TRAVELING THROUGH OR RESIDING IN THE PHILIPPINES. PLEASE DISSEMINATE THIS MESSAGE TO ALL U.S. CITIZENS IN YOUR ORGANIZATION OR NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU.
The U.S. Embassy advises American citizens in the Philippines that a threat against American citizens in metropolitan Manila, specifically the Pasay City neighborhood, has been detected by reliable security forces. This threat remains in effect until October 10, 2012.
In response to the threat, the U.S. Ambassador has ordered an augmented security profile for all U.S. government facilities in Manila.
5.) Report any perceived security concern to Philippine authorities.
The U.S. Embassy also wishes to remind U.S. citizens of the continuing threat of terrorist actions and violence against U.S. citizens and interests throughout the world. In a message dated July 12, 2012, the Department of State recommends Worldwide Caution and reminds U.S. citizens that terrorism can occur anywhere.
The Embassy reminds U.S. citizens of the dangers sometimes associated with public demonstrations. Even demonstrations that are meant to be peaceful can suddenly become violent and unpredictable. Americans should be alert, pay attention to local news media, and avoid demonstration areas if at all possible. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority often provides a map of affected locations at their website, www.mmda.gov.ph/192012-rerouting.html.
U.S. citizens traveling in the region are encouraged to stay up to date on conditions across the globe by bookmarking the Bureau of Consular Affairs website, which contains the current Travel Warnings (including the Travel Warning for the Philippines, dated June 14, 2012) and Travel Alerts as well as the Worldwide Caution of July 12, 2012. Follow us on Twitter and become a fan of the Bureau of Consular Affairs page on Facebook as well. You can also download our free Smart Traveler iPhone App to have travel information at your fingertips. If you don't have internet access, current information on safety and security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the United States, or for callers from other countries, a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).
Wow this is a little disconcerting. I sure you & Karl already take precautions but please be extra careful!
Wow. Stay safe! Great idea to share on your blog. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUeC025YjgKNDlWFQ9 | The Raptors are starting to face a high level of adversity. With the loss of Kyle Lowry due to a brutal injury, the suspension of Serge Ibaka due to an on court scuffle, and the upcoming swing against the NBA's top competition in the Cavaliers and Warriors, it's certainly a tough task to overcome. Couple this with the slump that off-season hopeful, Norman Powell, is currently experiencing, it's clear that this is a crucial time for the Raptors.
Host Adam Corsair and guest DeMar Grant of TipOfTheTower.com thoroughly unpack these and other topics regarding the team. They talk about what could be troubling Norm, if Serge is noncommittal to the "culture change," the impact of the loss of Kyle Lowry and who is going to step up, DeMar's ability to constantly improve and thrive, some Vince Carter discussions, and preview the upcoming games.

BkiUdiw4eILhQCVbefpP | The Key To Success Is Being Happy Way Before You've Actually Made It
by John Haltiwanger
People often say ignorance is bliss. If this is true, does it mean only ignorant people are happy?
Ernest Hemingway once contended:
Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
He's suggesting that the capacity to think critically leads to discontentment within the mind. And research suggests overthinking or worrying a lot may be a sign of intelligence.
Perhaps it's true that people with analytical minds find it difficult to turn the switch off. They think as deeply about complex issues as they do about little ones, producing anxiety and unhappiness.
But the truth is, it doesn't have to be this way. There is significant evidence that we can train our minds to think positively. Happiness is a choice, or as Aristotle once stated:
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Shawn Achor, the founder of Good Think, would agree wholeheartedly with this notion. For 12 years, Achor did extensive research on positive psychology at Harvard University. He found optimism and hope are the keys to fostering happiness.
But we can't generate these qualities overnight; it takes practice.
Life is stressful and unpredictable. We can't control reality, but we can choose how we react to it. Contrary to conventional wisdom, optimism is not totally dependent on environment and genetics.
Achor contends we can coach our brains into thinking positively by developing daily routines and habits.
There are multiple ways to do this, and it doesn't take a great deal of effort: Write a positive email to a friend or colleague; be nice to strangers and perform kind gestures arbitrarily; take two minutes to write in a journal about something positive that happened to you during the day; or simply take a few moments to meditate about several positive things that happened to you since you woke up.
Finally, don't forget to exercise. Take care of your body and mind.
Optimism is not about denying the fact there are negative aspects to this world; it's about taking the time to acknowledge all of the positive things around us. It takes a significant amount of intellect to do this, which one might refer to as positive intelligence.
Hence, powerful minds are not always predisposed to negativity, as Hemingway suggested.
It's much easier to focus on the bad, but with great effort comes even greater rewards.
Most of us assume success will bring about happiness, but it's really the other way around.
Achor also argues happiness is the key to a productive economy.
Research has shown happiness leads to greater levels of productivity, creativity and engagement in the workplace.
Accordingly, businesses and companies with happier employees see higher performance levels and greater profits.
Indeed, happiness leads to success.
If you want to change your life, change the way you look at the world.
Stop waiting for success to happen, and start seizing it now by remaining unapologetically optimistic.

Beck to host launch event for his new book

Dr. Richard Beck, department chair and professor of the Department of Psychology, is having a book launch for his sixth book, "Trains, Jesus and Murder: The Gospel According to Johnny Cash," at Maslow's Nov. 14.
The event will consist of Beck reading from selections of the book, reflecting on what they mean with acoustic sets played in between each reading from various musicians. The event will take place from 7:30-9:30 p.m.
There will be four performers performing their own six-song sets, covering Johnny Cash tunes personally selected by them. The performers are Jay Stephens, Bethany Brooks, Michael Stanford and David McAnulty.
Beck said he wanted to find a relaxing, coffee shop venue and have live acoustic renditions of Johnny Cash songs for the event.
The event is open to the public, but the first 50 Honor College students to show up will receive a discount on the book.
Unlike his past published works, this book is distinguishable because it is a biography.
"The object of my past books have been my thoughts, my story weaving theological reflection and psychological reflections through my life," Beck said. "This is obviously very different because now I'm trying to narrow gospel and theological themes in someone else's life."
Beck said that this book took a lot of time to prepare for. He said he believed he had to dive into everything Johnny Cash, from his other biographies to listening to his entire 40 plus year catalog of songs, if he was going to write a book die-hard Johnny Cash fans would pick up.
"With somebody of his stature in country music history, the amount of literature you'd have to consume to write an in-depth, textured memoir is what made this a difficult process," Beck said
The theme of this book talks about the life of Johnny Cash regarding his dark and light themes of his music.
"It's about how he handled those themes within himself," said Brenden Beck, senior kinesiology major from Abilene and Dr. Beck's son. "It's about navigating around the dark things in life, dealing with your own angels and demons and pursuing the lighter aspects of life."
"Trains, Jesus and Murder" was officially released on Tuesday and can be purchased on amazon.com.

BkiUeofxK6wB9k0iM4kt | You feel it in the air, the heady mix of instant glamour and old culture, ancient and modern, European without being stuck up. There is a sense of being on screen, people move around like a camera is following them, like being in that city qualifies you to a bigger drama of life. Even bottled water looks poignant in a wine glass. Paris has derelict elements, like any other city, but there is an air of self conscious, unapologetic style even in its poorer neighbourhoods.
The grand hotels on the Right Bank are expensive. There are lots of boutique and design hotels on the Left Bank near the Latin Quarter. Rooms in most business hotels are tiny and breakfasts can be disappointing (only bread and cheese). The Bristol is wonderful. I normally stay at the Sofitel, near our headquarters on Avenue Matignon. I like the old world charm, and very prim and proper service.
I think French food is more fancy than tasty. Splurging? Try Les Ambassadeurs: Luxurious 18th Century décor, silverware and candlelight. Lots of boulangeries and bistros around the corner wherever you are. Most places serve a pretty decent bouillabaise (fish soup) and steak frittes. To go more hard-core French try the foie gras, cheese fondue or the escargots bourgogne (little snails baked in the shell, covered with herbs and butter). Don't let cocky waiters intimidate you.
The best way to commute is by foot. Taxis are expensive; they're the only option after 1 a.m.
People sit at every corner with their tasse de café, discussing politics. It seems like all the French do is talk. Long lunches go well past 3 p.m. The whiling away of time would seem wasteful anywhere else on the planet.
operas if you are highbrow.
The Eiffel Tower is overrated. The further you are, the better it looks.
Don't try and do Paris on a budget.
Avoid the main tourist sights on public holidays.
Be generous with 'bon jour' and 'merci,' even if you get them mixed up.
Appreciate the French but don't be in awe of them. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BioTech Food tests on synthetic meat for € 5.2 million
Spanish government allocates 3.7 million for the project
BioTech Foods has revealed that it is heading a €5.2 million cultured meat project, majoritively funded by the Spanish government, that will investigate the potential health benefits of cellular agriculture. The project aims to investigate meat produced from cellular agriculture that, together with the development of healthy fats and functional ingredients, will enable the manufacture of healthier meat products than traditional red meat.
Based in the Basque Country, BioTech has been producing its own cell-based brand called Ethicameat, which it claims is 100% natural, animal based, slaughter-free, high in protein and fat-free. Seven entities will work alongside BioTech Foods as part of the cultivated meat project, Argal, Martínez Somalo, DMC Research, BDI Biotech, Neoalgae, BTSA and Agrowingdata. The consortium will also be joined by ten research organisations including Barcelona Science Park, University of Granada and CTIC CITA.
According to BioTech Foods, the project proposes a more sustainable and healthier agri-food sector. One of the main focuses is the prevention of colon cancer and dyslipidemia through reduced consumer exposure to saturated fat. In its place, the consortium aims to research functional ingredients and the preparation of healthy lipids into a final consumer product. The Spanish government has granted the project €3.7 million, while the total budget of the initiative amounts to €5.2 million. Currently, BioTech Foods says the biggest challenge for the sector is producing cultivated meat on an industrial scale. Last month, Eat Just's cultured chicken was approved for sale in Singapore in what has been deemed the world's first regulatory approval for cultured meat (see EFA News article of 2-12-20).

BkiUdhk5qoTDtv38vpgE | My mixed media collages, drawings, and prints are sardonic representations of American popular culture. These artworks satirize advertising (commercial and personal) through various media outlets. I use standard portrait format to construct ominous reflections of that collective culture.
The characters are developed from a mix of music lyrics, movie references, news banter, and print ad campaigns, and are titled with hot-button phrases or popularized keyword terms. Each figure is portrayed in an amplified fashion and all are competitively seeking the attention of an audience. The volume is turned up to the highest contrast. Forms are flattened, bringing everything to surface and disregarding conventional spatial relationships. Noise is created with loud colors and fluctuating patterns. Shimmering surfaces animate the subjects' features and aggressive positioning heightens complicated bonds between characters.
Repurposing inexpensive, readily available materials is paramount in my practice. Many of the media I employ resonate with a broad audience and are mass-produced paralleling the availability of my references. The objects that I collect and incorporate include acrylic paint, enamel, ephemera, ink, foil, glitter, buttons, marker, paper, rhinestones, spray paint, tape, office supplies, wallpaper, and plastic jewelry. While not individually alluring, together they form captivating images of dark, shiny pop. -R.R.

BkiUdGA4eIZijkByyU-2 | Social ShapeUp is a universal, classroom-based behavior management program that combines evidence-based strategies to prevent disruptive behavior, shape socially appropriate behavior, and increase instructional time.
With Social ShapeUp's innovative web app, classroom management, data collection, and progress monitoring are made easy and efficient. Research shows Social ShapeUp works, and teachers and administrators approve.
Social ShapeUp aims to increase the student's behavioral self-control through the use of preventative techniques, immediate and contingent consequences, and progress monitoring with feedback.
Social ShapeUp was initially developed as an intervention for students engaging in frequent aggressive and challenging behaviors. However, educators soon recognized the preventative benefits for all students.
With funding from the Small Business Innovation Research Program at the Institute of Education Sciences, the effectiveness of Social ShapeUp as a universal classroom management program was put to the test and a web application was developed to facilitate data collection and reporting. Preliminary data demonstrated that when teachers used Social ShapeUp with moderate to high fidelity, off task behavior decreased and instructional time increased significantly.
Teachers use Social ShapeUp alongside their instructional curriculum. SSU consists of eight research-based strategies purposefully combined to increase positive behavior and instructional time. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUduM4uzlh2XfbySY3 | In recent years, Dilute Magnetic Semiconductors (DMS) with ZnO as host materials have attracted enormous attention. Structural and magnetic properties of Zno.95Coo.05O thin films grown on rc-type (001) silicon by pulsed laser deposition method were characterized. Contributions by metallic cobalt nanoclusters, oxygen partial pressure and substrate deposition temperature to ferromagnetism were investigated. Experiments have shown that the observed ferromagnetism in Co-doped ZnO thin films was not due to the metallic cobalt nanoclusters. Bound magnetic polaron (BMP) model and Ruderman- Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RICKY) interaction are the two mechanisms that most likely explain the origins of Zno.95Coo.05O ferromagnetism. The amount of oxygen vacancies, which could be adjusted by varying the oxygen partial pressure during DMS thin film deposition, affects the polaron density in the BMP model that leads to formation of long range order of magnetic cations. It was also demonstrated that there is an optimal substrate temperature range for maximum saturation magnetization as a balance between the carrier concentration and carrier mean free path have to be achieved. Metal-insulatorsemiconductor structures were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition method to investigate the injection of carriers by an external electric field into the DMS layer. Under different applied electric field, the carrier concentration in the Co-doped ZnO layer was adjusted. This led to a change in the ferromagnetic properties of the DMS layer that could be explained by the RKKY mechanism. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
BkiUeLU4ubnjorQ5sS1S | That is all fine and good, but what about guys that have no time to play but want some live action? Don't say that they need to schedule matches because that doesn't work out for self employed guys most of the time. Here is the the mode that falls between the cracks- Give us an option to see live players on courses that ARENT are friends so that we can choose to play their ghost WITHOUT turn base. So I log on and see the top 10 most active courses and see that Joe Shmo is on hole 2. I can simply log on and start playing with the idea of catching up. It's not the best option for me but works. What about the option to send an invite for a TB round to a non friend through the game? Alternate shot and all of that stuff is great, but TGC is the only golf game I've seen where it's so darn hard to get a true live match going without having to jump through hoops.
I slice 95% of my hooks.
I see what you're saying. Multiplayer requires a great deal of database programming and UI building. TGC is the only golf game where multiplayer is difficult to set up, but it's also the only one priced this way. I would imagine a full second game at full price, equipped with multiplayer delights as you've described. I don't equate multiplayer modes and lobbies one-to-one with cash flow, but there's a correlation that is undeniable. Some things were more important during initial development, it seems. Now, they are working on multiplayer options as we speak, correct?
I am totally with johneric & always hav been..playing someone u dont know is great,especially in matchplay,u dont know how they will play & its usually just a 1 off game..or a foursome where nobody knows each other is imo great..this game is perfect 4 that.
Unfortunately, my experience with live multiplayer was a bit disappointing in the TW series resulted in about a 50% disconnect (i.e. quit) rate.
However, I do hope that with the major multiplayer update in December that the current multiplayer will improve also.
I understand what you all are saying, it's not for me but I understand. Could you not set it up where A player was looking for a match play and selected that, and then it would throw you into a search of other players looking for the same thing?
Anything will be better than what they are offering now. In today's social media and social aspect I don't see how they designed a game WITHOUT multiplayer involved. They really missed the boat, and I believe lost several players.
If somebody quit a match, it should show up on their stats/ profile. So, when they challenge you, you should be able to decline if they appear to be a chronic quitter. | c4 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUd6G6NNjgB0Ss2v2L | In April, Ramnik Xavier, M.D., Ph.D., of the Broad Institute in Boston, published a paper demonstrating a link between the makeup of one's gut bacteria, collectively known as the microbiome, and the chance of developing T1D. Dr. Xavier's team examined biological samples from babies and toddlers from three countries to see whether differences in sanitation standards affected the bacterial populations in the babies' digestive systems. They found multiple species of bacteria that stimulate the immune system in samples from all three countries. They also found that in the countries where sanitation and the standards of living are higher there was a prevalence of microbes that actually block immune stimulation. The team hypothesizes that lack of immune stimulation leaves individuals vulnerable to inflammation that may contribute to the increase in immune diseases, including T1D. This project and other like it provide greater insight into how T1D develops and may help us use the microbiome to help prevent the disease.
One of the biggest stories in T1D research this year was the publication in June of the first results of the Fr1da study, a general population T1D trial in Germany screening children for beta cell autoantibodies during routine pediatrician visits at ages 3 or 4. Of the 43,000 children examined during the first 18 months of the trial, 144 were found to have two or more autoantibodies—an indicator of incipient T1D—while they were still asymptomatic. With to follow-up counseling, none of the autoantibody positive children who developed symptomatic disease experienced an episode of diabetic ketoacidosis, a potentially deadly acute complication of T1D. Fifty-two of the children with multiple autoantibodies were subsequently enrolled into a study to determine if daily doses of oral insulin taken while most beta cells are still functional can prevent progress to symptomatic disease. Identifying children already on the path to T1D before they become symptomatic improves their early care, allows them to participate in intervention studies and is a key component of JDRF's strategy to prevent T1D.
Also in June, JDRF and Antidote announced the launch of the Clinical Trials Connection tool, the result of a partnership aimed at increasing participation in clinical trials, an ideal way for people to contribute to the development of new therapies to cure, prevent and treat T1D. The tool, available on the JDRF.org website, asks people to answer a few questions about themselves to quickly and easily match them to trials that are right for them. This simple tool will speed enrollment in trials that will hasten the development of better treatments and eventually curative and prevention therapies for T1D.
Another major achievement was the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) September approval of industry partner Medtronic's MiniMed 670G hybrid closed-loop artificial pancreas system, the first ever approved to automate insulin dosing to reduce high blood sugar levels. In clinical trials, the 670G system proved to be highly effective at keeping people with T1D within their desired blood sugar range, especially at night, the most dangerous time for blood sugar lows. JDRF did not fund the commercial development of the 670G, which could be available as early as next spring, but supported critical early work that the system is based on and worked with the FDA to develop guidance that defined the path for development of the technology.
Two late-breaking developments were in the field of cell conversion; chemically stimulating pancreatic alpha cells to change into functional beta-like cells with an eye toward potentially regenerating insulin-producing beta cell mass. Two JDRF-funded researchers say they've found triggers to spark such conversions. French researcher Patrick Collombat, Ph.D., found that GABA, a naturally occurring chemical and common dietary supplement, triggers the conversion of mouse alpha cells into beta-like cells and appears to have the same effect on human islets transplanted into mice. Investigator Stefan Kubicek, Ph.D., at the Austrian Academy of Sciences realized similar results using a type of FDA-approved anti-malarial drug called artemisinins. These results suggest it may be possible to "re-train" alpha cells that continue to survive in the pancreas of a person with T1D into insulin-producing cells, a critical step toward a cure.
The advances discussed here result from our supporters' confidence that JDRF's work makes a tangible difference in their lives. Years of investment to support the best investigators working in the T1D sphere is yielding real-world results. When we at JDRF look back at the progress made this year, we are profoundly grateful for all you do. Thank you. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUdU45qYVBgCinOTC5 | maternity leave – it's a mums word..
Last week, myself and some Mummy friends (and two bumps) treated ourselves to a girly catch-up and afternoon tea.
For most this meant a nice baby free afternoon, but I took my littlest munchkin along for the ride (he will get used to being dragged around with Mummy I'm sure). My monkey was off at nursery for the day, thank god, as there was no way he would have behaved.
We went to The Edgbaston, which is a boutique hotel in the centre of Birmingham, which is right on my doorstep. You would miss it if you didn't know it was there as looks like a grand private residence on a street of many others.
The lobby is tastefully decorated in black and gold and makes a very fine first impression, which continues on into the 1920's themed cocktail lounge where afternoon tea is served daily between 12 and 5. I loved all the little details and especially the vintage crockery. There was a very luxurious feel to the decor, service and food.
To kick off the afternoon tea there was a little food theatrics which was impressive (not that it takes much to impress me having not been 'out' in 4 weeks). It was the perfect environment to have a girly catch-up without our toddlers, and the tea, cake, artisan sandwiches and scones were all delicious!
It's been ages and ages since I've updated my blog. And before I've had enough time to properly enjoy my last summer off with my monkey.. It's September! Boo hoo. September arriving has always seemed way off for me and I've been dreading it arriving..
September is when I return to work after 16 lovely and long months off. This also means my little monkey will be starting nursery. Something I'm excited and nervous about. But also, this September I turn 30! Eeek!
I've been living in a little bubble all summer (hence my lack of updates), hoping it would last forever.. And here we are a few days away from starting work.. We've had a lovely summer celebrating my babies first birthday, my sister in laws wedding, and our first family holiday! We've also welcomed two baby cousins for Sami which has been amazing. I'm just not ready for it to end! But we do have some exciting things ahead for our little family (more on this another time).
I'm just going to soak up these precious moments for one last week..and by that I mean the sun as I am loving this Indian summer.. Speak to you on the other side..
It sounds strange I know, to be thankful for Friday, when 'everyday is a holiday'. It makes me chuckle when people refer to my maternity leave as a holiday, I don't bother with a witty response anymore, but have to smile to myself.
This weekend, I am looking forward to a nice break and hopefully a lie in. My husband has been away for most of the week, and I have missed the little bit of me time I get when he is here. A five minute shower, or time to cook without entertaining Sami at the same time. Even just going to the loo without having my little monkey right next to me.
Anyway this week, I'm even more thankful for the weekend, as firstly it means I might if I'm super lucky, get a lie in tomorrow. By lie in I mean sleeping in until 9am, after changing and feeding my monkey at 7am! Secondly, his new found mobility of rolling all over the place has made my life wayyyyyy less chilled. And thirdly on Wednesday I had my first 'keep in touch' day which I swear I am still recovering from. This is how it went..
For those of you who have read my previous posts, my monkey won't take my expressed milk from a bottle, and is not a fan of food, so all of his nutrition comes exclusively from me. This meant that I had to give him his late morning 10am feed prior to leaving for work, and be back for 3pm for his next one. This already made me feel abit paranoid about the day, and what my colleagues would think about my baby being so dependant on me at nearly 11 months old. I made this worse by explaining this to every single person I spoke to when I got there, and was greeted with lots of advise and sympathy.. Not what I wanted!
Secondly, I had nothing to wear. When we moved in last year, I never unpacked my work clothes as wouldn't be needing them for awhile, and last month I foolishly gave them all to charity when I was having a 'fat' day, thinking I'd never fit into them, even though in reality I am still the same size. I may be the same size, but I have way more lumps and bumps so I couldn't find anything to wear that I felt comfortable in, and in the end opted for black jeans..So this made me even more paranoid.
And lastly, it was super stressful getting us both ready in the morning, sorting lunches, getting my monkey to fall asleep at my mums so I could leave knowing he'd have his morning nap (he only sleeps with me too), and getting to the meeting as early as I could (11.20am in the end), knowing I'd be walking in super late as it started at 9.30am). Then I had to do it all again at the end of the day. I rushed back to pick my monkey up, fed him and get him down for his afternoon nap. By this point it was 4pm I was absolutely shattered, and hadn't sorted out dinner! My first thought was, how do mums do this every day! To all you mums out there who work, you are amazing!
I didn't get anything out of the day itself, I spent the whole time talking about my monkey and showing his pics off, and drinking coffee to stay awake. I did however decide, I don't want to do this come September, and I'll be thinking hard about what part time hours I choose.
Despite my not so nice time keeping in touch with work, I've had a super special week as Sami has not only discovered his mobility, but he now says 'Mama' and means it, and it just melts my heart.. I'll be wearing my Selfish Mother 'mama' sweat with even more pride 😍. | c4 | 2 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdObxK6mkyCKC03M_ | Former Obama official, Evelyn Farkas has come under heavy fire for her March 2nd appearance on MSNBC where she admitted to having a lot of knowledge on the surveillance of Trump and his team. She is now in damage control mode and her nervousness is causing her to make some odd statements.
Evelyn Farkas appeared on MSNBC to defend herself, claiming the recent stories about her knowledge of Trump being wiretapped is fake news and perhaps the Russians are behind it. We are officially in the twilight zone, folks.
Wikipedia? Try Wikileaks…ok she may have misspoken there, but Russians are spreading fake news stories about her? Sorry to break it to you Evelyn, but we aren't Russians here at TGP.
The Democrats are such an embarrassment with their obsession with Russia all of a sudden. Yes, we should definitely have our eye on Russia, but to blame them day in and day out for EVERYTHING is pathetic. | c4 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUbV_xK6wB9jjDeUwC | Atoms For Peace covered Marvin Gaye's 1977 single 'Got To Give It Up' last night at a gig in Mexico City.
Click above to watch fan shot footage of the performance, via Consequence of Sound.
Pharrell Williams recently dismissed suggestions that 'Blurred Lines', the Number One hit he co-wrote and produced for Robin Thicke, is rip-off of Gaye's 'Got To Give It Up'. In August it was reported that Thicke's legal team offered Marvin Gaye's estate a six-figure sum in order to nip a potential copyright dispute in the bud. Thicke's offer apparently came after Gaye's three children accused 'Blurred Lines' of plagiarising 'Got To Give It Up'. However, the Gaye family are said to have turned down Thicke's offer.
Atoms For Peace recently revealed that they were pulling their music from Spotify after claiming that the streaming service was "bad for new music". In addition to removing their debut album 'Amok', Godrich also removed his band Ultraista's debut album from Spotify, while Thom Yorke's solo album 'The Eraser' has also been taken down. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUfM3xK7Dgs_cY6-Y- | View from Coffin Corner
Extreme position on House floor enjoys a storied history.
As a freshman delegate in 1978, Ken Plum was assigned a desk in the far corner on the Democratic side of the House of Delegates — seat 17. It wasn't the best vantage point in the House because about a third of the Republican members were totally out of view. The senior members took the seats at the back of the chamber near the center, sticking Plum in the corner.
"In my very first session on my very first day, Speaker John Warren Cooke said, 'The speaker recognizes the gentleman from Fairfax, Mr. Plum, for a motion,'" recalled Plum, currently the senior member of the House. "I had no idea what he was doing, but I later learned it was to dispense with the reading of the journal. Everybody laughed their heads off as I was trying to get myself out of it."
It was a trial-by-fire for the freshman delegate from Reston, who would soon learn that he was occupying a rarified spot on the House floor — Coffin Corner. The term dates to the early 1970s, when a freshman Del. Dickie Cranwell arrived as a freshman Democrat from Roanoke. He created the term to underscore a generational divide in the House of Delegates.
"I would say that we were probably a newer breed of Democrats in Virginia than some of the older guard," said Cranwell, who later went on to be the Democratic leader before retiring in 2000. "A lot of times there would be close votes and we would carry the day in killing something, and we just decided that we were the corner that was putting a lot of stuff to sleep."
THE 1970s SAW A MASSIVE SHIFT in Virginia politics, not necessarily from one party to the next, but within the Democratic Party, as young members like Cranwell and Plum were moving the party to the left, away from the conservative racial politics of massive resistance that was the hallmark of the Byrd Machine that ran Virginia politics for half a century.
"We voted pretty much in block, so if there was a tight issue we would have 25 votes," said Cranwell. "The rest of that group was like throwing a firecracker in a covey of quail, they'd go everywhere."
The expression Coffin Corner was not just a reference to the ability of the junior lawmakers who sat there to kill a bill they didn't like. It was also a reference to Cranwell's time as a punter at Virginia Tech, when he would kick the ball into the Coffin Corner out of bounds and place the opposing team deep into their own territory. The name stuck and the corner of junior seats took on a cache all its own.
"It was considered prestigious and kind of cool to be in the Coffin Corner," said former House Democratic Caucus Chairman Brian Moran, who chose to sit in the Coffin Corner even though he had enough seniority to get a better seat. "From the perspective of having a good view of the other side of the aisle, it was not the best seat. But it was seen as a corner where you melded freshman and more senior members together."
THESE DAYS, COFFIN CORNER is seeing a new generation taking their seats. The current House of Delegates has about a half dozen millennials who sit in the Coffin Corner, eager to make their mark on history and challenge the status quo. When Republicans criticized an attempt to tax streaming video at the same rate as cable TV, the expression "Netflix and chill" created a generational fault line among House members.
"What drove many of us to run and the high levels of support we receive from our peers across the commonwealth was not casual references to Netflix, which has become disturbingly popular on this floor," said Schuyler Van Valkenburg (D-72). "We ran on jobs, health care access, education and creating a Virginia that was open and welcome to everybody regardless of race, faith, gender, sexual orientation or county or origin."
Sitting at far end of Coffin Corner, that seat that Plum was assigned 40 years ago, is Del. Marcus Simon (D-53). He's been in the House long enough that he could take one of the more senior seats at the center of the chamber. But he chooses to sit in Coffin Corner. He says it's an ideal location for leading the resistance to the Republicans and sometimes even against his fellow Democrats. Last year, for example, he angered members of both parties by making a parliamentary inquiry about whether a Republican member who was facing domestic violence charges should be voting on changes to the code outlining assault and battery. The Republican leadership retaliated by delaying consideration of all Democratic bills that day.
"This is where the troublemakers in the House sit, and it's a place from which you can throw bombs — to use another sports analogy," said Simon. "I think it fits my persona here in the body, which is somebody who's not afraid to ask questions and somebody who's not afraid to slow things down or disrupt the flow." | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

Book One in Twice Told Tales – Lesbian Retellings
Author: Nino Delia
"Women don't ask questions. Let alone clever ones."
Robyn lives in a world where proper girls are raised by men. She, who grew up with only her grandmother, has to go out of her way to meet the requirements of being a fertile wife. It's the greatest honor Robyn could have dreamed of that Hunter Wolfmounter, the handsome and brave Captain of their village's guardsmen, wants her of all women to become his wife.
One day, Robyn is bitten by a white wolf deep down in the dark woods. The encounter with that alleged beast changes her way of looking at the world she lives in and her part in it. As Robyn starts to doubt the courage of her betrothed, Hunter fears for his reputation among the guardsmen of his Red Riders and sends her fleeing into the woods.
There she meets the mysterious Gwen, who shows her that a woman is not dependent on the goodwill of a man. Robyn starts to change—into one of the independent beasts she has always been warned about. Chased by the Red Riders and her betrothed, Robyn tries to free herself from the last chains of her oppression.

2 reviews for Caged Bird Rising. A Grim Tale of Women, Wolves, and other Beasts (Twice Told Tales. Lesbian Retellings – Book #1) by Nino Delia
momo – October 19, 2015 :
This book was difficult in the beginning to get through. It brought so many emotions out of me that sometimes it was hard to keep up but in the end it was all for the best. Like I said the beginning is hard to get through but trust me…in the end it was worth it! Good read. I really like books that can put me in someone else s perspective, even if it isn't always pleasant to be there. If you like reading about the era before women had their own rights and how they became to stand up for themselves then here is a book for you!
Sarah Nathanson – January 19, 2016 :
Robyn is an orphan girl who has recently been betrothed and is preparing herself for a dull life of obedience and work inside the home. But when she ventures into the woods and is bitten by a wolf, it sets into play a series of events that leaves her alone, but free, in the wilderness. In the forest she meets Gwen, a mysterious women who rejects the strict gender roles of Robyn's society. The foreshadowing that Gwen is actually the wolf is obvious and lacks subtlety, but this is par for the course for a fairy tale.
The novel's satirical prose is witty and bitingly sarcastic, and the book's message is overt and gleefully feminist. On a more technical note, the "fairy tale book" font choice is odd and hurts readability. I enjoyed the fantasy elements and parallel symbols that mark any good fairy tale. However, the overall plot was simplistic and predictable. Similarly, the happy ending was a bit gratuitous. I disliked how the patriarchal society merely transitioned into a matriarchal society instead of achieving true gender equality. Overall, it was light hearted satire that was enjoyable if not envelope pushing.

Authorities arrest Catalina Ferry jumpers
Sep 8th, 2007 · Comments Off on Authorities arrest Catalina Ferry jumpers
San Pedro, Calif. – Coast Guard law enforcement officers detained three Ventura County residents after they jumped off of the Catalina Ferry Starship Express into Los Angeles Harbor near the San Pedro Coast Guard base. The three swam to shore where they were met by Coast Guard base security.
The Starship Express reported the incident to the Coast Guard just before 4 p.m. Friday.
"They are lucky they didn't sustain any injuries. This is a serious matter. Interfering with the operation of a commercial vessel by placing yourself or others in peril is a violation of federal regulations. The Coast Guard is investigating the incident. Civil penalties in such cases can begin at $2500.00," said Coast Guard spokesman Lt. j.g. Andrew Munoz.
The jumpers – two women from Ventura, Calif. and one man from Moorpark, Calif. – were turned over to the Los Angeles Port Police Department.

BkiUc3fxK6nrxqmozGyo | Дона Тео Стрикланд () е канадска физичка, учен, пионер в областта на лазерите. През 2018 година заедно с научния си ръководител Жерар Муру от Екол Политекник и с американския физик Артър Ашкин са тримата носители, удостоени с Нобеловата награда за физика. С това Стрикланд става третата жена в света, носителка на наградата, след Мария Кюри през 1903 година и Мария Гьоперт-Майер през 1963 година. Признанието за Муру и Стрикланд е свързано с тяхната разработка на метод за генериране на ултракъси оптични импулси с висок интензитет, който намира приложение в различни индустриални и медицински приложения, както и във фундаментални научни изследвания.
Биография
Дона Стрикланд е родена на 27 май 1959 в Гелф, Онтарио, Канада. През 1981 година завършва бакалавърска степен по физика в Университета "Макмастър" и защитава докторат по физика със специалност оптика в Рочестърския университет през 1989 година. Докторската ѝ дисертация е на тема разработка на ултраярък лазер и приложението му за мултифотонна йонизация. Неин научен ръководител е Жерар Муру.
Към октомври 2018 година Стрикланд е доцент към Университета на Уотърлу, където ръководи група, разработваща високочестотни лазерни системи за нелинейни оптически изследвания. Пионерските ѝ трудове в областта са от 1985 година и водят до развитието на лазерни лъчи с висок интензитет и ултракъси оптични импулси. Работи и върху приложението на високочестотните лазери в лечението на пресбиопия на човешката очна леща.
В професионален план, Стрикланд е била заместник-председател (2011) и председател (2013) на Американското оптическо общество и тематичен редактор в списание "Optics Letters" от 2004 до 2010 година.
Награди
През 1998 година Дона Стрикланд печели изследователската стипендия на името на Алфред П. Слоун. През 1999, Стрикланд получава Наградата за отлични научни постижения на Премиера на Онтарио. През 2000 година е удостоена с наградата "Котрел" за научни изследвания и академично лидерство. През 2008 година е избрана за пожизнен член на Американското оптическо общество. През 2018 година става една от тримата носители на Нобеловата награда за физика.
