BkiUdd45qdmDGQAJYY7o | Happy Birthday to Rosa Parks, a pivotal and significant icon of the Civil Rights Movement. But not many know that Mrs. Parks was also a dressmaker, so today, in addition to her birthday, we celebrate her for 28 Days of Black Fashion.
I think sometimes we forget that all of the participants of the Civil Rights demonstrations (including more high profile faces and leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, Stokely Carmichael, Angela Davis, El Hajj Malik El Shabazz/Malcolm X) are all people who had lives, families, interests, and jobs outside of being a revolutionary or civil rights activist. Unfortunately, we don't always get to know who these people were, only what they represented.
Rosa, initially, was going to school to be a teacher. However, she had to leave the Alabama State Teachers' College to take care of her ailing grandmother and was never able to return. She then became a seamstress in a shirt factory, and sewing became part of her daily life.
It can be said that her work as a seamstress was interestingly intertwined with her awakening as an activist. In the 1940s she briefly worked for the Maxwell Air Force Base as a housekeeper and seamstress for a politically liberal couple, Clifford and Virginia Durr. The two encouraged her to attend the Highlander Folk School where she was mentored by Septima Clark, another civil rights activist.
The print floral wrap dress that Rosa Parks was carrying when she was arrested in 1955 for not moving to the back of the bus for a white customer. (Alex Jamison/Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture).
Rosa Parks was an assistant tailor at the Montgomery Fair department store the day that she refused to move for a white customer on the bus (who apparently had a seat to sit in but did not want to sit in the same row as Rosa). She was carrying a dress that she was working on in her carryall when she was arrested for not moving to the back of the bus. The dress is now in the the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture.
Although there isn't much more known about Rosa Parks' work as a seamstress, we do know that clothing and dress played a large role in the Civil Rights Movement, as much as any other revolutionary or defiant act and helped reframe the narrative of who was a 'radical' or a 'law breaker' and who 'deserved' equality. The simple and modest yellow and brown floral dress wasn't any spectacular design or detailed garment. But it was respectable and feminine and gave the wearer an appearance that was quite the opposite of the story that was being told about Black activists (or Black people for that matter). This dress was meant to tell the story of a woman, like anyone else regardless of race, who was strong, dignified and deserved the same rights as anyone else.
I am a lover of Fashion and so happy to know that Ms Rosa Parks was a seamstress! What a joy to know that the Mother of the Civil rights movement was in such a glamorous profession. Gotta love our people – always dignified – even in the ugly face of discrimination. Thank you so very much Ms Parks for your courageous and fascinating life. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbK85qhLAB_0lxm29 | By the time our son was born on April 30th , 2015, my husband and I already knew just how lucky we were to be a part of the Down Syndrome Network of Greater Greensboro. We'd received a diagnosis of Trisomy 21 when I was fourteen weeks pregnant, and in the ensuing chaos of fetal EKGs, monthly ultrasounds, heartbeat checks, and – let's be honest – a massive amount of worry on our parts as expectant parents, it was unbelievably reassuring to be able to Google the words 'Down syndrome Greensboro' and come face-to- face with a diverse group of warm, passionate, caring individuals, who were ready to help us through our journey in any way we needed. We received a welcome bag packed with information on Down syndrome, stories of local families who were raising children with 'that little something extra,' books and resources, DVDs and more. After Javier was born and out of the NICU, we took advantage of the many opportunities extended to us to attend local baseball games, bowling nights, pool parties, and more with families like ours, and soaked up the understanding, acceptance, and helpful advice from parents who had been through all of the things that were new to us: writing our first Individualized Family Service Plan, finding a feeding therapist to help our son learn to nurse, and even giving recommendations on the most patient Santa in the Triad.
These are just a few of the many reasons I want to thank you for helping to make 2017 such a great year for DSNGG. We have been able to do some amazing things this year – not only have we sustained our new parent programs, family connection events, and outreach, but we've added our 3.21 5k, an incredible outreach event and the only 5k starting in beautiful Lebauer Park in Downtown Greensboro.
We've increased our advocacy and awareness work by joining in the inaugural UNITE (Understanding the Needs of Inclusion Takes Everyone) event in downtown Greensboro , hosting a fireside chat with Guilford County School's new Superintendent, and forming a new educational outreach committee, dedicated to improving our children's access to their best possible public education.
As we move forward into 2018, I am proud of what we have accomplished, and am excited for the future. We have some big things planned for this year, including our first group attendance at the Buddy Walk on Washington, a national workshop and day of advocacy in our nation's capital, expanded offerings of workshops and seminars for families in the greater Greensboro area, scholarship opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome who would like greater access to therapies, camps, and workshops, hosting our fifteenth annual Buddy Walk fundraiser, and much more. I hope that you'll continue to follow along on this journey with us as we work to create a brighter, more inclusive future for our children. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbas25YjgKJ9_capr | What Batman Can Teach You About Unhealthy Spend Culture
What lessons about how we treat company finances from a cultural level can we learn from how Bruce Wayne turns into Batman?
In the middle of The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan's even darker, grittier take on the anti-hero, an accountant from Wayne Enterprises answers the question every operations, finance, and business person was likely asking during the trilogy:
How is Bruce Wayne getting away with spending company finances this way?
Reese, the accountant in question, uses his knowledge to attempt to expose the Batman, but is ultimately thwarted from doing so with some emotional interception by Wayne himself. But the question is,
Why did it take so long for an accountant to notice these numbers?
Wayne Enterprises is a major conglomerate, publicly traded, with massive shareholder and government oversight. Then how does the estimated cost of Batman's vehicles (estimated to be worth $80,000,000) not get flagged as an issue on the balance sheet?
Most of us root for the Batman, but imagine being in a workplace that is willing to burn through over $80 million in assets without launching an investigation. Would you be happy to work in a place where spending was rampant and unchecked, or would you find it stressful and inefficient? What happens to most companies that are run this way?
This is where spend culture comes in. Wayne Enterprises has an unchecked spend culture stemming from its top leadership. Some examples of this happening in the real world (but without the benefit of vigilante justice) include:
The music service made news in Q3 2017 for massive layoffs and quickly closing runway. According to employees, SoundCloud continued hiring just to eliminate the roles shortly after. Unfortunately, the company not having transparency, real time, and responsible spending practices across all departments and offices caused rampant cost overruns they weren't prepared for. With Wayne Enterprises not realizing that they were missing $80 million in assets, the lack of transparency is something that ties these companies spend cultures together.
Beepi
Beepi closed in 2017 after raising $148.95 Million. It had a great market-product fit, but sources within the company say it was poorly run. An ex-employee shared that the founders were spending company funds on spouses phone plans, extravagant furniture for employees, and car expenses. Similar to Wayne Enterprises, senior leadership was spending funds on unnecessary expenses not related to the companies growth or employee stability.
Mode Media
Mode Media was one of the biggest company implosions in 2016 after having raised over $200 million. The media company had a mixture of a changing marketplace where automated media buys were becoming the norm, and, according to employee consensus, mismanaged funds. In 2015, an audit was initiated by an investor to review leadership expenses, including houses in LA and the Hamptons. Their spend culture required intervention from a source of make-or-break funding as it was highly visible that there was unnecessary spend happening with senior leadership.
Spend culture is just like the everyday culture companies experience, but specifically how everyone from leadership to frontline team members handle the financial aspect of the business. A healthy spend culture allows for transparency, visibility, and enablement of team members to make financial decisions that benefit the company, easily and responsibly. Procurify helps your team gain access to company funds for purchases fast, while easily following best practices and process, and with department-level transparency.

BkiUd284ubng-JcX49Wd | I spoke with Peter Benjamin in CapeTown using SkypeOut. Peter has had a long career with ICT in Africa including a great study of S. African telecenters. My cost was 7 cents a minute to call a landline but much more to call a mobile number. The quality of okay and we did not drop during the 30 minutes I was talking . Peter was working with OneWorld Africa and has moved to take over a small non-profit called Cell-Life where mobile phones are being used in the campaign to fight AIDs.
Peter explained that according to the GINI index South Africa is among the most unequal countries in the world in terms of family income; it has more than seven million HIV patients out of 47 million and cell phone penetration of about 80%, so there are interesting opportunities to use this technology in new ways. A pre-paid minute costs about one rand/13c (depending on the calling area) and an SMS message is about half that to 3/4 the cost of one minute.
A service that has attracted affluent teen-agers in South Africa is MXit. It's a mobile instant messaging application that works on various phones with GPRS/3G networks and can connect with the Internet (Google talk and MTN) as well. It's much cheaper than SMS because the charges are by the fraction of a megabyte: anywhere from 50c to 2 Rand per. There must be someone doing a thesis on the service because of its popularity and controversy surrounding a child abduction by an adult last year.

It seems to be the brainchild of librarian Michel Wesseling of the Institute of Social Studies in the Hague, according to a web log for e-collaboration among Dutch non-profits.There's a short videoof Wesseling explaining the project (in English). I plan to join and try to contribute some sites. I found a lot of non-hits when looking for articles critical of the development industry, but this is a very new project. Let's give it time.
The September 2006, Atlantic Monthly has an interesting article by Marshall Poe about the evolution of wikipedia. It spends a lot of time on the two main people that helped shape it, how it has grown (the Polish version has more articles than the Spanish version!) and of course the process of discussing wikipedia philosophy and which articles are appropriate.
In particular there is an interesting section on the flame wars between Sanger, one of the key figures and a volunteer with a lot of time on his hands. It reminds me of countless other online fora where the fights have detracted from the original goal of the list or discussion. In this case it concerned a work that has become very important, perhaps too important if the users who rely on it don't consider other sources as worth consulting.
I say this as a librarian who keeps meeting people who think everything is online and if it isn't it's marginal in importance and not worth consulting. As a side issue, the convenience of wikipedia is in contrast to the effort needed to consult a print source or even stay online and register to use specialty databases that may be free to use in many library systems: school, public, corporate, and academic. Relying on wikipedia alone is like counting on one strain of rice or wheat to provide a population with nourisment.
ZeroOne San Jose is a swirling constellation of events that included several self-styled summits, a variety of public art, performances, lectures, and exhibitions associated with the 13th biannual meeting of ISEA, Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts. It began August 4 and ends August 13.
Gordon Knox, the director at Montalvo Arts Center convened a summit on intellectual property at the center a few miles from San Jose, and invited me to participate August 4th and 5th. Other participants included a film maker, an administrator from Arts Council England, several anthropologists, an industrial designer, two lawyers, a journal editor and scientist, and a media researcher. The artists were busy preparing for ISEA and did not attend. The discussions revolved around the best way for an artist to collaborate and work inside a research lab or high tech company environment for a limited period of time. Knox wanted to establish a 'safe place' in terms of IP where the artist would feel free to experiment. James Leach, an anthropologist from Cambridge felt strongly that existing IP regimes were based on narrow views of ownership and collaboration and that we should be looking at other kinds of relationships. The lawyers explained how the laws for IP had expanded, and many felt this inhibited activities and the spread of knowledge. On Monday the group met at Santa Clara University where the movie on piracy was shown, and there was a public forum.
Leading up to the summit there was an online forum which was never used by more than a few of the many members. Each working group was somewhat fluid, and the chair changed in a couple, and many members did not attend for different reasons: other commitments, lack of money, or visa problems. At ISEA Trebor Scholz whose institute focuses on "cooperation studies", gave a paper about social networks and why people take part online. Though he was part of a working group in our summit he did not attend.
One chair thought he was coming to work together for two days mainly with his group, and like me, he met them for the first time shortly before they were due to present. My own group did not work that much together before, but they all helped me a great deal as I was preparing a short video "Piracy in the Pacific" for a DVD project Leonardo had hoped to publish. Once we met the afternoon before the presentation we were able to find some common disagreements to discuss during the summit. Piracy and copyright is very, very contentious, and I assembled a CD-ROM of videos, rants, white papers, books, and proceedings that covered a spectrum of views from anarchist to Hollywood and law enforcement. We handed this out to everyone present (about 45).
The organizers suggested we might want to have statements to take to ISEA, or perhaps a manifesto, but this did not seem to happen. I think there were some good connections made, and some working groups planned to carry on with other projects. I wondered what the summit would have been if it were the main focus in San Jose rather than the much larger ISEA meetings and exhibitions.
The always reclusive and secretive Raqs Media Collective flew in from an undisclosed location and arrived on the second day in order to comment and provoke us with interesting questions which needed a third day for discussion. They used metaphors of sea voyage, dead reckoning, and maritime language. A rare photo is at the left, but their faces are pixellated in order to protect their valued anonymity. They were last seen a couple of days later entering a black stretch limo outside the exhibit hall.
Complore is a beta version of a collaborative research network where students, faculty and others can share links, notes, lectures, and papers. It incorporates Google Scholar search, and so far the topics being posted are tagged and highlighted at the right part of the main page. It was opened to the public just one day ago, so it may have to aggregate a lot more to seem useful to you.
The Institute For The Future has traditionally worked for corporate and government clients and has offered workshops and consulting focusing on forecasting developments in fields as varied as consumer electronics, health, food supply, and library services. Recently they have opened up some of the processes to outsiders and associates who take part in monthly meetings called Future Commons. The electronic component of this group is a Google group and a wiki.
California, and he attached a lot of importance to nonverbal cues from the audience as well as recognizing and affirming the accomplishment and qualities of the person he called on for comment.
We broke up into small groups to talk about the six subjects which had been discussed online and in a previous meeting. My small group discussed "third world mobile computing" which had been about the $100 computer from MIT and a similar device from AMD. I will be making changes to the wiki to reflect our discussion.
They were a finalist in the 2005 Tech Museum Awards. They had designed a very low cost LED projector which was being used in literacy programs in Mali. Neil Cantor and Tim Prestero are co-CEOs, and their office is a small room which is part of a technology incubator which provides meeting space, secretaries, etc. Neil and I talked about the challenges of his projects, one of which is getting enough publicity and support to scale up production of the projector (or any other piece of equipment they might design.) As you read their web site, you will see that many people contributed to the design of the kinkajou projector . This week Tim and Neil are visiting ideo.com in Palo Alto for a brainstorming session.
Down the block from their office is the MIT Press bookstore where I found a new title that relates to the efforts of Design That Matters, Eric von Hippel's "Democratization of Innovation." He's an MIT professor and has posted the full text of this book (I'll review it later) on his web site. It's a 1.4 Mb pdf file.
There are many nonprofit and for-profit organizations that contract with USAID on development projects. The Academy for Educational Development (aed.org) has worked on many ICT project over the years, and I have consulted with them off and on since 1998 in Paraguay, Guatemala, Uganda, and served on an advisory group which held its last meeting yesterday in Washington.
The purpose was to reflect on the past five years of projects known collectively as the dot com alliance (www.dot-com-alliance.org). It included presentations on policy reform, educational projects, telecenters, with a strong emphasis on public private partnerships.
Those present included all sorts of people from the development industry: academics, consultants, project managers, and policy analysts. In policy sector, Sarah Tisch of InterNews talked about the importance of working with regulators, ministries, private sector, media and 'civil society' She had a good list of why policy is so important and how it relates to the daily lives of citizens and consumers.
The education (dot-edu) organizations, led by EDC, talked about the 25 countries where they worked. One of the most successful has been Macedonia where all the schools now have connectivity (460 schools) and with 5000 computers donated by the Chinese who rewarded the Macedonian government for not recognizing Taiwan, more than 2500 teachers have received training. I was pleased that they are also using IRI --interactive radio instruction--in places like Sudan and Somalia, and cell phones in Zambia to support a distance learning program. Most places have critical problems of electricity, and in Uganda a battery run thin client lab was set up because the main grid is so unreliable. They frequently referred to the ineffectiveness of 'equipment dumps' where vast number of machines are deployed without support or training.
the dot-org projects were in 23 countries. Mike Tetelman talked about one failure, a smart card project for tourists entering Kenya national parks. the smart card code programmer left the country , and with the code left unmaintained, a cracker began making fake smart cards and sold them to tourist agencies in the country at a steep discount. He talked about the Mali CLIC projects (essentially telecenters) where the U.S. embassy chose the sites, many of which probably don't have the resources to keep the centers going, but others have proved to be sustainable. In Mongolia they are using voip wi-fi phones to provide phone service in underserved areas. UPS is working with AID in building a training center on the Polish/Ukraine border in order to facilitate cross border trade in that area.
I said I had not heard much discussion of how to work with other bilateral or intl. agencies or foundations, and some said it was a time constraint while others replied that there were some collaborative projects in education.
Eliot Maxwell, an advisory group member, said that the issues of openness (in more than software) was a useful way to look at problems and solutions. He has written a paper on this topic.
Bernie Mazer who heads the USAID office of infrastructure and engineering--the internal IT shop which now handles the ICT programs as well--spoke about the new direction for USAID. Sec. of State Rice has announced big changes in her department, and besides reassigning a lot of diplomats to large cities in Asia, there will now be a closer alignment of goals and program with USAID and Department of Defense. This article details some of the problems--which are easy to imagine if you have been trying to run "soft" projects to use a military term.
The goal now is not 'sustainable development' but 'transformational development' Mazer was very critical of what he observed at wsis in Tunis, but he was not specific.
In a dot-org breakout session Nancy Hafkin talked about the problem of dealing with 'externalities' in a project: a coup, drought, electricity, civil unrest, and others said some problems you could plan for but not something like a tsunami.
There was a great deal of discussion about how hard it is to share information and what I called lessons not-learned. Mike Nelson of IBM said you needed an array of artifacts: from white papers, videos, sound bites on down to a bumper sticker with a couple of key words (but not too many syllables!) In spite of the Internet it does amaze me how much people in this industry don't seem to have the bandwidth to absorb all the info/knowledge/hype being disseminated from all these projects. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUe3nxK0-nUKDhrnd_ | Leroy Neiman has produced in form what he considers to be two of the most prominent characteristics of successful people: VIGILANCE and DEFIANCE. The capacity to be aware and attentive to ones surrounding and the ability and bravery to stand for what one believes are characteristics Neiman as illustrated in these two very powerful and brilliant sculptures. Defiant is the first work in the Neiman sculpture collection. This magnificent bronze depicts a wild, tempestuous horse rearing in brave defiance. As untamed as the wind, the stead is fierce and proud, nostrils flaring, mane a-flying, limbs launches sharply delineated in their muscular form. Incredible sculptures by one of America's greatest artists, these precious pieces of art speak to the qualities which must be constant companions of all who are successful in life. LeRoy Neiman's Vigilant and Defiant sculptures are two of only five sculptures Neiman had produced in his career spanning over 50 years. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUd0Y5qYVBcTolxt-_ | Boricua MC Joyce Santana Is Bringing Bars, Bellaqueo & Perreo Intenso to Reggaeton
By Veronica Bayetti Flores | 2 months ago
Immediately warm and effusive, Joyce Santana's charisma engulfs the world around him – a fact that's noticeable even over the phone. A natural storyteller with an infectious and easy laughter, he lets out una carcajada when the inevitable question comes up: Quien carajo es Vicky?
If you look up "Quien carajo es Vicky?" on Twitter, you'll find pages and pages of results. "It surprises me still," he says, incredulous about the people-driven success of "Vicky," a song about una niña de mami y papi who lowkey spends all her free time in drug-addled desastre y bellaqueo (si la vieran su mami su papi y sus titis / que la ven bien fina los domingo en Serafina / pa terminar siempre en cuatro en un motel en Carolina). "Vicky" came out in August, a late summer-into-fall bop that, despite no budget for promo, saturated the streets on the strength of its cutting bars, sick flow and sinister, minimalist beat (care of producer Hydra). "I didn't expect the song to hit the streets like that."
Joyce Fransue Santana Febres started making music as a kid of just eight. Raised by strict parents, he wasn't allowed to curse. "[Those words] couldn't leave my mouth," he explains, so he would surreptitiously write them down on a piece of paper. Unfortunately for young Joyce, his mother found his naughty notes, but it was the sting of her punishment that provided the initial motivation to keep going. "I started writing down curse words," he laughs, "and I ended up writing about what I was feeling." At around thirteen, Santana got together with a group of friends to record his first song using the computer mic they had available, and an obsession began. "The first time I heard myself over a beat," he says, pausing contemplatively, "…it drove me wild." He was hooked. For a few years, Santana kept writing and recording songs until, for one reason or another, he stopped.
But Santana never quit writing, and even though his obsession with music never subsided, for a period he just focused on poetry. When a friend who made beats suggested he take his poems to the studio though, he was quickly reeled back in, and everything started to fall into place. It was around that time, he tells me, in 2011, that he started growing out his hair. One day when he was touching up his locs and texting a friend about the music he was working on at a friend's house in Carolina, some guy walked in with a chip on his shoulder. Trying to calm him down, Joyce showed him some of his music; it stopped him straight in his tracks. "He left, and he came back with some beats," Santana recounts. A few days later, he was in the studio with Young Martino – known now for producing ubiquitous mega-hit "Te Bote," and to this day one of Santana's most frequent collaborators. If you ask him, it wasn't a coincidence. "That's God," he says, with unshakeable certainty. "Always putting you in the right place at the right time."
In 2015 Santana released Luz En La Oscuridad, a vulnerable, meandering album that digs deep into his psyche. With dark bears and raw subject matter, it touched on matters of love, fear, relationships and loneliness. "There's still people today that talk to me about [3:00 AM]," a track in which Santana raps about trying to find himself through the fog of depression. "[Luz en La Oscuridad] is the most me thing out there." These days, Santana is feeling less like talking about himself, and rather than deep tracks that explore his emotional core, he's after a more simple joy: making people dance. "It's not that I've changed," he explains. "I'm trying to step away from my comfort zone… Honestly it feels great." Santana's history as a true MC – as a lyricist, a rapper, an artist who has developed his flow – brings something special to these pari anthems. His bars hit hard and just right, and matched with the meticulous production Santana has an ear for working with – well, it's just the needed touch to make you wanna romper esa cintura.
But just because the songs are danceable, doesn't mean they lack depth. This summer, as Puerto Rico rose up to demand the ouster of Ricardo Roselló and the people protested with perreo combativo, Santana hopped on a track to support the anti-corruption protests and the perreo uprising. When the opportunity struck, Santana and a crew of young urbano artists on la isla decided to do a track sampling Puerto Rican newscaster Jorge Rivera Nieves' now iconic clip reporting that "el perreo intenso acaba de comenzar." They wanted to go for a vibe that felt like some of the super-group tracks of the old days – something à la "Llegamos A La Disco," or "Yo Tengo Una Gata." Soon enough the features rolled in – from Jowell y Randy, Brray and others – and Cauty put out "El Perreo Intenso," which hit the streets and dancefloors across the island and quickly became viral. Santana's verse was charged with both the bellaqueo and the political dissidence of the moment (Buena pero loca con eso'e portarse mal / la chala tirándole piedras a un estatal / el perreo está intenso en frente de la catedral / se fue Ricky Roselló cuando se van los demás), a perfect encapsulation of the indignation felt by Puerto Ricans and the joy with which they confronted it.
And though the emergence of perreo as a form of protest in the anti-corruption movement was controversial, with people on the island both praising and reproaching the perreo uprising, but Santana is clear and confident in his stance. "Perreo helped the world see what was happening here," he assures. "It helped people rise up against what they needed to rise up against."
Ask him about a new album, though, and he gets coy. "You know, we were just talking yesterday about something I'm not gonna tell you anything about," he laughs. So he talks instead about his plans to do a trip around South America to work on new music, the "Vicky" remix he has in the works, and his plans for an upcoming Young Martino-produced track with Ñengo Flow, Eladio Carrion, Brray and Venezuelan newcomer Big Soto. Joyce Santana is grinding, easily among the best rappers on the island. It's time the world took notice.

BkiUc2M4uBhiwecde7wx | The Wave movie review: 5 reasons you'll miss it & 6 reasons to see it
The Wave movie review: although this is one of the best movies I've seen in years, the chances of many people ever seeing it are near zero.
The Wave movie review: the plot
A popular teacher who thinks himself an anarchist is forced to teach a class on autocracy to a bored bunch of middle-class students. He attempts to grab their attention by proposing a "fun" experiment: could you – a bunch of sophisticated young people – be seduced by the lure of authoritarianism?
The experiment begins. The results are horrifying.
I've written before about the astonishing ability of big Hollywood movies to disappoint.
Equally astonishing is the ability of many low-budget non-Hollywood movies to be excellent.
Why you'll never see The Wave
Most people will never see The Wave, because:
(i) it's in German, with sub-titles. If you're not used to watching movies with sub-titles, this may put you off (sample review on Amazon: "Unfortunately this movie is in German with English subtitles which I don't like. I returned the movie versus watching it");
(ii) no marketing campaign exists;
(iii) it has no stars non-Germans are likely to have heard of, unless you are a big Jorgen Vogel fan;
(iv) it isn't on Apple TV (please tell me I'm wrong – but I've never found anything even vaguely obscure on Apple TV);
(v) in fact, you've probably never even heard of it.
Why you should watch it
The fact that relatively few people will see the movie is sad because the reasons to watch it are numerous:
(i) the story (unlike eg Hail Caesar -links in bold italics are to other posts on this site) is terrific. Believable characters you care about; plenty of pace; and a satisfying and memorable ending;
(ii) it deals with important issues. Why do people join cults, extremist political parties and conspiracy movements? The Wave gives a convincing explanation. I'm never persuaded by people who say (in any country) that "it could never happen here". It is human nature to enjoy peer approval, to want to belong, to enjoy activities that make you feel strong and successful. In The Wave, even many external people approve of the positive changes they see in the students;
(iii) it's intriguing. The Wave is supposedly based on The Third Wave, an experiment by a Californian school teacher in 1967. This sounds plausible (although Wikipedia says that the teacher wrote nothing about it until 1976, which makes me wonder how accurate his account was). But The Wave also reminded me of a story called The Snowball Effect published in Galaxy Science Fiction in September 1952 by Katherine MacLean. A professor is challenged to prove the value of sociology. He visits a small town and revises the rules of a local sewing circle with a charismatic woman leader to provide incentives to "more growth drive than the Roman Empire". Worth a read;
(iv) a fine sound-track. When the members of The Wave hold a beach party and turn the music up loud, you'll want them to invite you
(v) the more you watch non-Hollywood movies, the more you'll tune into and enjoy independent ones, opening the way to lapping up a Japanese Gangsta Rap Movie or an Iranian vampire western.
(vi) when The Wave finishes you won't have that cheated, "so what?" sensation you get after watching the latest James Bond movie. You'll feel a glow of pride that you've found and enjoyed something original, high quality and possibly important.
For: moving, entertaining, powerful, political and socially relevant movie.
Against: not a total masterpiece. Some of the characters are a bit two-dimensional. But a compelling watch.

Nice review Robert!
We have done a documentary movie of the original Wave class experiment, called "Lesson Plan," which can be found on iTunes, Google Play and Amazon Movies. You can see the original teacher, and my fellow students from the class.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker revealed they were engaged and getting married in October.
Now, a source is speaking out about their upcoming wedding, which might be happening this year.
One insider who spoke to E! News says that "even though Kourtney would like it to be soon, logistically it's taking some time."
They also revealed that event planner Mindy Weiss, and Kourtney's mom, Kris Jenner, is also involved in helping to plan the nuptials.

BkiUfBrxK6EuNBRhJ4bT | It's our ninth day here at Catalina Spa Resort in Desert Hot Springs, CA. Time is going by quickly. And it has been a busy time. We've linked up with friends and taken in some nice activities and logged many more miles on the motorcycle.
It will be interesting to see what improvements the new owner will bring to the Catalina Spa. The resort is not busy now but the rush of snow birders will likely change that in the new year.
We are enjoying our RV spot but are looking forward to moving into the next RV resort.
This Wednesday, December 14th, we will leave Desert Hot Springs to roll into a great spot in the beautiful Outdoor Resort Golf and Spa, in Cathedral City (next door to the city of Palm Springs). That will be our home till the end of March, 2017.
The Resort is sited on 137 beautifully landscaped acres featuring 27 holes of par 3 executive golf, 14 lighted tennis courts, Pickle Ball, 8 swimming pools and spas, a dog run, fully equipped fitness center, showers, espresso bar, beauty salon, barbershop, full-service cafe, and 2 clubhouses with a commercial kitchen and full bar. There is a full schedule of activities including live entertainment dinner dances, themed parties, bingo, mahjong, Texas hold'em tournaments, motorcycle riding, and bicycle and hiking groups.
Looking forward to the golf rounds here.
The resort borders the neighboring cities of Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Rancho Mirage, etc.
With 27 holes of golf, I plan to take full advantage and play the 18 hole course three or four times per week.
This resort is beautifully manicured. There is no sand or dirt. Other than paved roads and concrete RV sites, everything else is landscaped green grass and thousands of palm trees.
Jeanette is checking out the site we rented.
Although we had not firmed up any sites (or made any reservations) for our winter getaway, we had let some friends know that if a spot would come up for rent in Outdoor Resort, we would be interested. Only a few days prior to rolling away from home - this past mid-November - we took a call from an Alberta couple who offered their site. It took little time for us to bite on this good deal.
One of the eight pools and hot tubs is located directly across from our site. It also includes a change room, showers, sauna, laundry and more.
Jeanette and I rolled into the resort and got permission to check out the site in advance of moving there. It is a great lot with table/chairs, outdoor heater, water fountain and more. The site also comes with an electric golf cart. And we are free to use it. Bonus! I will be walking the golf courses though.
It is a very long and wide site.
The pool and spa across from our site.
A view or our RV lot from the pool parking area.
Now familiar with the site and the resort, we look forward to rolling in and setting up.
Limited wind and dust will be appreciated.
It can be difficult to get into Outdoor Resort due to the demand for sites. While checking out our site, a couple approached us to ask if we would be willing to rent it out. Imagine that?
We have several friends who call this park home during the winter months. The lots are privately held. And for several years now, we have been riding with a nice group of motorcyclists from this park.
We'll have more to share on and about Outdoor Resort in the weeks ahead.
Between meeting up with friends and enjoying some nice motorcycle rides, I did want to reserve at least one day to detail our 5th wheel. Although I washed it, the truck and motorcycle, following our arrival in the Arizona desert, the water leaves white spots. Detailing brought the shine back...!
We rode out here to learn about the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto mountains and to check out the numerous hikes this area offers. And there are endless hiking trails to suit all users. We'll be back.
Last Sunday had us meet up with Bill and Anne at Outdoor Resort. We motorcycled out to Old Town La Quinta, on a beautiful mid-70s day, for what proved to be a nice display of beautifully restored or modified vintage cars.
I have always liked the 57 Chevy.
A great backdrop with palm trees and mountains.
I am partial to restored old pickups. This Ford was stunning.
It is rare to find or even get to see an original 1965 Ford Cobra. There are many replicas to be seen but this original was a treat to gawk at. It is in pristine condition.
We entertained too. Here we are enjoying a nice outdoor lunch at our spot.
Back to the car show, here are a few other models some of you may enjoy looking at.
This beautifully restored Royal Enfield motorcycle was BC plated. I am sure the owner trailored it down here from back home in British Columbia.
Jeanette was attracted to this Ford. It brought back nice memories of riding in her father's identical car, as a young girl. She remarked how they often took rides, with their mom at the wheel, when they would go visit her maternal grandmother.
This fella has been hanging around this car for a long time.....and the current owner is now looking for a new owner.
It would be a nice ride.....with the rumble seat out back. It's for sale!
After leaving the car show, Anne/Bill and Jeanette/me rode out further east and south and into Lake Cahuilla Recreation Area. It is surprising how many locals and/or tourists don't know about this little gem.
It is a beautiful 710-acre park set amid expansive lawns and picturesque mountain views. It's a great spot for a daytime picnic and there is a nice RV park.
Jeanette, Anne and Bill get a good look at the lake.
And that concludes this blog. We are planning a long motorcycle ride up the San Jacinto Mountains and into Temecula on Tuesday. Anne and Bill are joining us for what should be a very nice daytime ride into another favourite area we enjoy in southern California. More on that later.
Wow--you guys have been busy! The Outdoor Resort looks beautiful--no dust is a definite plus in my book!
Good catch on the new site. We're sure you'll have a great time.
Looks like a wonderful place for your winter stay with the golf course and friends, enjoy. We enjoy Catalina spa when we are in that area.
Well I am happy you are happy I am sad we didn't get that visit in last year because it sounds like this year is out. Enjoy your stay. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbBQ241xg-GX14hPA | oh, those kahles ...: Happy 4th of July!
My friend, Cara, posted a picture of this little beauty on Facebook. She's a doll of Cara's who is easily 50 years old. The doll ... not Cara. Neither Cara nor I are even close to 50. Not even close.
Cara must've played with this doll before she was born.
Anyway, Cara has her all dressed up for the holiday and despite many comments about the little gal being creepy, I think she's beautiful. She is in far better shape than any of my 50 year old dolls. Not that I have any dolls that are 50 years old. 29, yes. 50, no. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUbLo5qsNCPV6YjHyV | I know that these orgs have many people who join for many reasons. Can we move forward from this discussion and allow each author choice words? That post also includes an excerpt of a 1928 letter that was published in Howard University's magazine. Well documented as can be seen by. The crises isn't a black magazine or journal. African-American Christians should be focusing on how to redefine ourselves in light of our identity in Christ and not by culture.
I mentioned the book because you asked for a source that would confirm that 2 Kappa founders were affiliated with Alpha while at Howard; I guess you discovered the sentence in the Kappa book which states 2 members did attend howard, and of course, being the great hisorian of black fraternities, you know that it could only have been Alpha Phi Alpha since Omega Psi Phi, although founded at Howard, Omega was founded after Kappa was, just as the kappas know, but refuse to print that in their history book. Many of the truths in the article regarding greek life also still hold true today. I did review the site, but I didn't notice that statement, can you paste that statement here on the talk page? You also recognize that it is a black organization. Is there a page in wikipedia for the famous individual? Oxygen is a big part of the chemical changes involved in ripening. Greek interest at Howard has stimulated the growth of a number of exotic social clubs such as Groove Phi Groove - its female counterpart Swing Phi Swing - as well as Wine Psi Phi. After attending a sorority ceremony in the spring of 2010, the lawsuit claims, Cofield and Compton were forbidden to wear Alpha Kappa Alpha's pink and green colors, as well as any colors that when combined create pink or green no red and white clothing at the same time, for example.
Many times they would try to pass for white; on some occasions they may have been successful but if someone discovered that they were actually African American, they had to prepare to face dire consequences. But what these admissions offices do have is a mission statement, alumni chapters and a charge to bring the best students they can find to an institution. Skip Mason is biased as well, he is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha. We should be focused on building not, breaking. But as a Black, I have a natural tan. Frantz Fanon, the French psychologist and theorist of colonialism and Third World liberation, observed that members of an oppressed group will frequently internalize the attitudes of their oppressors and then direct that aggression at each other:? I have provided concrete evidence. These two statements are true.
They often questioned their existence and their ancestry; often times their questions were left unanswered because it was taboo to speak of sexual relations between slaves and their masters. Are you not going to accept the majority opinion? There is no record of any similar organization at Indiana until the chartering of Kappa Alpha Nu, a forerunner of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated, in 1911. Robotam is providing a lot of heresay and questionable debated. Dubois has no division of races? Bananas will ripen faster in a paper bag since the ripening gases they release stay near the fruit longer. Now I don't know anything about American fraternities nor do I want to, especially after watching this mess unfold , but as I see it, everyone involved could have invoked at any time by posting a RfC which I now did in your places. The Impact Sorority Membership had on Non Members During the Harlem Renaissance. Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Olympian Jesse Owens, Justice Thurgood Marshall, and former Atlanta Mayors Maynard Jackson and Andrew Young.
The word minority can be used to describe an ethnic groups when they are in the minority. This also incorpoartes with being pretty and having long hair. A typical grocery bag must be kept dry while in use. We are looking for girls that are going top be hardworkers, serve the community and benefit the University at all times. Repeat Step 8 for the back cover of the book.
You can't have it both ways. All copyrights remain with their owners. The European settlers of the New World realized that there was a demand for a work force in their newfound territory. I will add that part and supply your reference, which by the wau is currently listed as footnote 5. I believe it is also important to note the types of memberships that exist and how someone became a member if you're going to start quoting individual accomplisments. Of courese, it's not possible that one person would personal knowledge of the pledging progam in over 700 chapters. Truth is, every girl has a story to tell.
Zora Neal Hurston was the first well known writer to air this strange practice in a public. If there is nothing documented, I propose to remove the wording by saturday 8th unless documented proof can be made. Gone were the days of DeBarge and Prince. Also isn't lionel richie an honorary member? What are your thoughts on the Dark Girls documentary? Dubois proclaimed his intentions in his first editorial: The object of this publication is to set forth those facts and arguments which show the danger of race prejudice, particularly as manifested today toward colored people. Cut open a brown paper shopping bag.
They are very different things. One only needs to look at the or articles to verify the authenticity of the statement. The issue of colorism has altered the ways black women in America interact with each other. Indeed, Marshall and others saw an ill that was sadly indicative of Black Fraternities and Universities during that time period, and indeed, Alpha and other fraternities addressed that wrong, rather than run from it. If your child likes and the teacher allows, decorate the cover with drawings or stickers.
Thurgood Marshall was an Alpha. Remove the book from the paper. This is what disqualifies the statement. No one has objected to this. Interviewee 1 : A member defines their identity by what they bring to the sorority and what they take away from it.
Jesse Jackson is an Omega, and Ralph Alberthy was a Kappa. Cronyism is harmful to our society. When in fact especially in that time, there are blacks, whites, and native americans. Obama and said there was not a chapter of the organization on the campus then. You've only pointed out that there are names in the intro aren't listed in many places in the article. Instead, it should be baked in a pie plate. To Spence stop taking advice from non-Greeks an inactive member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. | c4 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 2 |
BkiUcmfxK7kjXIK5rCzx | Air Force To Expand PlayStation-Based Supercomputer
The cluster of PlayStation 3 consoles is already being used for research into high-def video processing and systems with brain-like properties.
J. Nicholas Hoover
Senior Editor, InformationWeek Government
The U.S. Air Force is looking to buy 2,200 Sony PlayStation 3 game consoles to build out a research supercomputer, according to an document posted on the federal government's procurement Web site.
The PlayStation 3s will be used at the Air Force Research Laboratory's information directorate in Rome, N.Y., where they will be added to an existing cluster of 336 PlayStation 3s being used to conduct supercomputing research.
The Air Force will use the system to "to determine the best fit for implementation of various applications," including commercial and internally developed software specific to the PS3's Cell Broadband Engine processor architecture. The research will help the Air Force decide where Cell Broadband Engine processor-derived hardware and software could be used in military systems.
The Air Force has used the cluster to test a method of processing multiple radar images into higher resolution composite images (known as synthetic aperture radar image formation), high-def video processing, and "neuromorphic computing," or building computers with brain-like properties.
The PlayStation 3's eight-processor Cell powers other supercomputers, including the world's second-fastest, IBM's RoadRunner, at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
In June, the Department of Defense awarded $2 million for this research under its High Performance Computing Modernization Program, the DOD's arm for supercomputing research, development, test, and evaluation. That follows an initial investment of $118,000 on the original cluster.
Before it won the research award in 2008, the information directorate's advanced computing architectures team considered alternative configurations and the possibility of a hybrid system, but found multicore Xeon servers slower and more expensive than PS3s, and GPGPUs to be slower in some important types of calculations.
The Air Force Research Laboratory's information directorate spends about $700 million annually on R&D, in areas such as collaboration, networking, cybersecurity, and computer modeling.
Unified computing platforms promise to consolidate everything and anything into a single chassis. Find out about that and more in Network Computing's second all-digital issue. Download the issue here (registration required).

BkiUa_zxK3xgpZzQmPyr | Germany's Jewish community marks first Shabbat after Halle synagogue attack
Community members, locals hold vigils for two victims of neo-Nazi suspect's shooting assault on Yom Kippur

BERLIN, Germany — Jews in Germany marked their first Shabbat since the deadly anti-Semitic rampage outside a synagogue in Halle on Yom Kippur.
Nearly 75 years after the Holocaust, the Jewish minority that had staked its faith in peaceful, democratic Germany found itself asking troubling questions about its security after the synagogue siege on Wednesday by a suspected neo-Nazi.
Members of the Jewish community, as well as locals, held vigils across the country on Friday evening for the two people killed in the attack. In Halle, over 2,000 members formed a human chain in front of the targeted synagogue.
"We have always been careful and now we will be even more careful," said Nina Peretz, head of Berlin's Fraenkelufer synagogue community group.

Peretz was speaking a few hours before the dusk service to mark the start of Shabbat at the synagogue, which was destroyed by the Nazis during the Kristallnacht pogrom in 1938. The synagogue was rebuilt after the war and is now undergoing renovation.
Several members of the congregation who gathered in Halle to support its small Jewish community on the High Holiday were welcomed at Peretz's synagogue in the capital.
On Wednesday morning as Yom Kippur was underway, a terrified group of about 50 worshippers barricaded themselves inside the synagogue in Halle, as 27-year-old German neo-Nazi suspect Stephan Balliet tried and failed to blast his way in with gunshots and explosives.

Authorities say he had intended to commit a "massacre" with his "act of terror." When his initial plan was thwarted, he gunned shot and killed two people seemingly chosen at random.
On Friday, German federal prosecutors said the suspect admitted to the shooting rampage and confessed that it was motivated by anti-Semitism and right-wing extremism.
A video believed to have been made by the assailant shows him launching into a diatribe against women and Jews and denying the Holocaust, before beginning the attack.

As the 225,000-strong Jewish community prepared to end the week, calls to "fill the synagogues" abounded on social media with the hashtag #showupforshabbat, which started in the wake of the shooting one year ago at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue that claimed 11 lives.
'Confronted with death, hatred'
When the sun sets in Halle, residents in a symbolic show of support formed a human chain around the synagogue, which was targeted after a steady rise in anti-Jewish attacks in Germany in recent years.
Experts say the threat comes both from homegrown far-right extremists, a group to which Balliet allegedly belongs, as well as from Muslim immigrants from Arab countries.

An influx of tens of thousands of Jews from the ex-Soviet Union after the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall gave the community in Germany a new lease of life, albeit not without tensions between the natives and the newcomers.
The arrival over the last decade of a wave of young Israelis gave German Jewish life another shot in the arm.
While security measures had been stepped up at many Jewish sites in recent years, particularly in Germany's largest cities, police defended a lack of patrols in Halle Wednesday, saying they could not ensure blanket protection.

The German political establishment takes pride in the renaissance of Jewish life in the country, seeing it as a vote of confidence in its sacrosanct culture of atonement for six million Jews slaughtered during World War II.
The Halle assault, however, revived lingering doubts among Jews about the country's commitment to its safety.
"Although this country brought so much pain and suffering to European Jewry, we call it our home," said German Jewish writer Mirna Funk, who has considered emigrating to Israel to escape the anti-Semitism in her home country.
She described living a "constant contradiction" as "weird and often unbearable" but that "being confronted with death and hatred while choosing this country is, plain and simple, sad."
Torah and yoga
Peretz said Jews in Germany were always walking a fine line between asserting their right to be here while not exposing themselves to abuse or worse.
"We always encourage people who ask us, 'do wear your kippa and speak Hebrew in the street, but don't do it in a dangerous place, not when you're alone at night in the subway,'" she said.
Yiddish book clubs, raucous rave parties for Purim, open houses for non-Jews on Shabbat, yoga sessions followed by Torah study — all are part of the "new" Jewish culture in Germany, particularly in anything-goes Berlin.
Peretz spoke of a spiritual "gold rush, a startup feeling over the last few years" — a vitality the community hadn't seen since the Nazis took power in 1933.
"Because now the Jews are diverse, the options they are building themselves now are also diverse," she said.
Striking a note of defiance, Peretz said that although the community was rattled by the week's violence, it had no intention of being cowed.
"We will never, never again be hidden Jews in Germany, we are part of this society and we won't hide," she said.

BkiUft85qhDC0V1endnX | Global health elective launched by WMed students helping improve women's health in India
A passion for global medicine led fourth-year students Pooja Avula and Brinda Ryali to team up with Dr. Priscilla Woodhams, to launch a new global health elective for first- and second-year medical students that is helping improve women's health in India.
Even before they came to WMed in 2017, Pooja Avula and Brinda Ryali shared a strong and common interest in global medicine, in using their talents and aspirations of a future in medicine to impact the health of people around the world.
That passion led them to team up with Dr. Priscilla Woodhams, an assistant professor in the Department of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, to launch a new global health elective for first- and second-year medical students that is helping improve women's health in India.
"It was really important to us to create an international health rotation for pre-clinical students at WMed with a focus on increasing cultural sensitivity and providing care to underserved and vulnerable communities," said Ryali who, along with Avula, is set to graduate from the medical school in May.
To make the global health elective in India a reality, Avula and Ryali worked with Dr. Woodhams and collaborated with the Institute for Rural Health Studies (IRHS), an organization that provides preventive healthcare services to poor communities in Telangana, South India. Avula and Ryali traveled to India in the fall of 2018 and spent a week at a primary care clinic in the village of Dokur, as well as a hospital in Mahbubnagar, learning about the most prevalent health issues and the needs of those who call the community home.
During that initial visit two years ago, Avula and Ryali got an up-close look at how the IRHS helped train local paramedics and community health workers to care for residents in what is a resource-poor region of India.
"We looked at the most prevalent issues in the community and created projects to address those community needs," Ryali said.
In March 2019, Avula and Ryali went to India with seven classmates and Dr. Woodhams. During what was a busy week, they took part in a two-day pediatric camp at a clinic in the village of Kokur where they provided care to 200 children.
The visit in 2018 laid the groundwork for the new global health elective and provided direction for how Avula, Ryali, and other students at WMed could work with the IRHS and help improve women's health in India through education and breast cancer screenings.
While mammograms are common in the U.S., Avula said very few women in India get regular screenings, a trend that stems from cultural beliefs around modesty. That reality has led to a five-year breast cancer survival rate in India of just 66 percent, compared to 90 percent in the U.S., Ryali said.
"We want to bring a greater awareness of what breast cancer is and we hope that more women will be screened," Avula said. "To us, that education and the growth of screenings is the basis of everything that we are doing."
For Avula and Ryali, India and the work they have helped start there holds special importance. They both have family in Hyderabad, India, and Avula lived there with her grandparents until she was six years old. Ryali, meanwhile, lived in India for more than four years and attended middle school and high school there. She visits the country regularly with her family in the summer.
"It's very close to our hearts, we grew up there," Ryali said. "We just want to give back because it is a big part of who we are."
In March 2019, Avula and Ryali returned to India, this time with seven classmates and Dr. Woodhams. During what was a busy week, they talked with physicians and community health workers in Dokur and Mahbubnagar about incorporating routine breast exams into the cervical exam services that are already in place at the hospital in Mahbubnagar. Additionally, Avula and Ryali said a mobile mammogram unit provided breast cancer screenings to 30 women in a single day.
For Avula and Ryali, India and the work they have helped start there holds special importance. They both have family in Hyderabad, India, and Avula lived there with her grandparents until she was six years old. Ryali, meanwhile, lived in India for more than four years and attended middle school and high school there.
Students also got the chance to provide breast exams under the supervision of Dr. Woodhams and they visited an Indian school where they provided education to young girls about an array of topics, including reproductive health and cardiac health.
"One aspect of the education is empowering these young girls and telling them they can do whatever they put their minds to," Ryali said. "We tell them to dream big and that there are opportunities out there. In terms of what we want to do in India, that empowerment is part of a tangible impact that we can have."
The students and Dr. Woodhams also took part in a two-day pediatric camp at the clinic in Dokur where they saw 200 children who were in need of acute care and well-child exams, and Dr. Woodhams provided education for local paramedics who regularly treat villagers.
"Not only was she treating the children but she was also giving the paramedics more tools for their toolkit," Avula said of Dr. Woodhams.
Dr. Woodhams praised Avula and Ryali for what they have accomplished during their time at WMed and bringing their vision of the global health elective in India to life. She said that as the elective continues, care providers and patients in India will benefit from the care and education that WMed students and faculty will provide. And students at WMed will be able to gain experience and hone their physical exam and clinical reasoning skills early on in their medical school careers.
"When you start medical school, everyone has different expectations and most students don't have a chance to see firsthand what it's like to take care of patients in a resource-poor setting," Dr. Woodhams said. "It gives you a chance to see early on in your training how and why the skills you are learning are so important for those times when you can't get an MRI or a CT scan, or an X-ray."
As they near the end of their time as students at WMed, Avula and Ryali said they have plans and hopes of continuing to work with Dr. Woodhams and be a part of the annual visits to India even after they have entered residency training.
lWhen they went to India in 2019, student visited an Indian school where they provided education to young girls about an array of topics, including reproductive health and cardiac health.
Dr. Woodhams, as well as other WMed faculty and 10 students were set to return to India in March but the trip was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Plans for a visit in March 2021 have also been canceled.
In the midst of those challenges, the work that Avula and Ryali started will continue. They are working with Dr. Woodhams to put together a virtual elective that will allow more students to learn about India and its healthcare system, and they remain hopeful that students and faculty will be able to return to India in 2022.
"We want to give students that perspective and increase their awareness of things like culture and language sensitivities," Ryali said. "Global health is not just about international trips, it's about improving the health of people around the world and promoting health equity whether that's locally or internationally."
Dr. Woodhams said that despite the challenges posed currently by the pandemic, she also wants to continue to provide education to care providers in India this year through virtual platforms. WMed students will play a key role in putting that educational experience together, she said.
"It's incredibly important when you're thinking about health equity and those who don't have resources to think about what is or might be possible instead of what's not possible," Dr. Woodhams said. "It's really important to think outside the box and it takes an incredible amount of perseverance. The quality that led Brinda and Pooja to make this global health elective a reality is they have outstanding perseverance.
"Perseverance is key." | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbik5qsFAfmG_YRLd | This program explains how to calculate simple interest using methods. The formula for calculating simple interest is I = P * T * R / 100.0 where I is interest, P is principal, T is time in years and R is interest rate per annum.
This program shows how to calculate simple interest using methods. At LINE A, we are calling the calculateInterest method by passing the parameters principal, time and rate. The return value from the method is assigned to variable interest. In the calculateInterest method, we are calculating the interest using the passed parameters. The calculated interest is returned back using the return keyword. The return value is assigned to the variable interest in the main method.
Here the calculateInterest method is the called method, where as the main method is the calling method.
We also have another method printSummary which takes the parameters p, t, r and interest and prints the summary of the interest calculation. As shown in this method, it is not necessary to have the same parameter name in the calling method and the called method. In the calling method which is main, the variable is principal, where as in the called method printSummary it is p. Similarly time is t and rate is r.
In LINE B, change the parameter names in calculateInterest method to pr, ti and ra respectively. Since the parameter names are changed we also need to change the variables in LINE C, otherwise it will cause 'undefined variable' compilation error. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUeM3xK7kjXLSrGW2_ | Q: An MCQ for finding the extremal of the functional $J = \int_{a}^{b} F(x, y, y^{'})$ Consider a functional
$$J = \int_{a}^{b} F(x, y, y^{'}),$$ where $F(x, y, y^{'}) = \frac{1 + y^{2}}{(y^{'})^2}$ for admissible function $y(x).$ Which of the following are extremals for $J$?
*
*$y(x) = A\sin x $
*$y(x) = A\sinh x + B\cosh x$
*$y(x) = A\sinh(Ax + B)$
*$y(x) = A\sin x + B\cos x$
I use Cauchy Euler equation. But it does not give me any direction to justify the option(s).
A: Hints:
*
*Strictly speaking, to have a well-posed variational problem, one should impose boundary conditions. We will assume Dirichlet boundary conditions in what follows.
*Note that the Lagrangian $$F(x, y, y^{'}) = \frac{y^2+1}{(y^{\prime})^2}$$ does not depend explicit on the independent variable $x$.
*We can therefore use the Beltrami identity to get a first integral.
$$\exists C:~~C~=~ \left(y^{\prime}\frac{\partial }{\partial y^{\prime}} -1\right)F~=~-3F. $$
*In other words,
$$ y^{\prime}~=~K \sqrt{y^2+1} , \qquad K~:=~\sqrt{-\frac{3}{C}}. $$
*Separation of variables: $$ \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\sqrt{y^2+1}}~=~K\mathrm{d} x.$$
*Integrate: $~~{\rm arsinh} (y) ~=~ K (x-x_0).$
*Isolate: $~~y~=~\sinh\left(K (x-x_0)\right).$

BkiUbPTxK7Dgs_aSS74S | Interview with Avery Hardy
Quail Springs February 10, 2017 Community Leave a Comment
(Photo: Avery Hardy at the UC to Paris Climate Change Conference, Nov. 2015)
In 2012 Avery Hardy attended Sustainable Vocations, an interdisciplinary program for youth developed and taught at Quail Springs which focuses on applying permaculture ethics and principles as they relate to ecological and social justice, community, and place-based culture. Click here for more information about Sustainable Vocations.
Quail Springs: When and how did you first hear about Quail Springs?
Avery Hardy: I first learned of Quail Springs through the vibrant permaculture community in Santa Barbara, which I found myself connected to as a young high schooler in town. Quail Springs had a reputation for doing experimental, results-oriented permaculture on a scale that far surpassed other farms or sustainability projects in the area.
QS: What was your first experience of coming out to the land and what did it mean to you?
AH: As a highschooler, I participated in the Sustainable Vocations summer permaculture design course, which gave me my first opportunity to visit and learn from the community at Quail Springs. I fell deeply and madly in love with the land on my first visit—I can still vividly remember walking up toward the old barn, Chloe's ukulele music guiding us toward the heart of the commons. That summer was formative for me on many counts—socially, career-wise and academically, and spiritually. I connected to a group of peers, young mentors, and elders who shared my vibrant passion for land stewardship and permaculture; I felt my own earth-based spirituality bloom through long walks on the land and deep connection with community; and most formatively, I found resonant clarity about my life path and career vision. This first experience on the land was not only enriching but truly soul-shaking. Even for a young student of sustainability like me who had already "found her footing" in the broader permaculture community, my time on the land was deeply transformative.
QS: Do you feel that your experience or experiences at Quail Springs have been formative? How?
AH: My time at Quail Springs has been deeply formative on many counts; most powerfully it has deeply grounded me in my career path and research interests. As a young high school student I was sure I would pursue a climate change and ecology-oriented career path, but I found myself distressed at the absence in academia of many critical components: a foundational awareness of the sacred and inherent value of the natural world, a lack of focus on the preservation of and connection with our indigenous communities, and a distressing focus on technological "silver bullet" solutions to the climate crisis rather than on low-tech D.I.Y. solutions our grandparents may have used. I wanted to find viable low-tech interventions for sustainability that could meaningfully mitigate our disruption of Earth's systems and the severity of climate change while also enriching our collective quality of life. At Quail Springs, I saw in practice the truth that there is no zero-sum game between living well and living simply. I saw that a critical analysis of our footprint on the land could yield multitudinous opportunities for working with, rather than against, nature, thus improving outcomes for all. I saw that while "nature bats last" in most communities, it was in fact possible to approach living together in a way that truly benefitted the natural world—with spirals of impact and inspiration that spread out long beyond Cuyama. The lived experiences and skillful mentoring of the Quail Springs community set me toward a path to pursue credible academic research in the realms of traditional ecological knowledge, evidence-based permaculture, and thoughtful land management in the age of climate change, which I have pursued as a student and young researcher at UC Berkeley. As I look toward pursuing a Ph.D in these fields, I envision weaving together the conversations in policy and academia around climate change mitigation with the lived wisdom from permaculture, indigenous land management, and wise tending of the wild. This research focus is wholly rooted in my six years of experience visiting Quail Springs, where I have turned often for both internal and scholarly inspiration, guidance, and recalibration. Unfortunately, the Ivory Tower has been behind the curve when it comes to valuing of working with, rather than against, the natural world; I have often found myself the sole person in the room advocating earth-based interventions for climate change mitigation, as the zeitgeist of the moment is very much focused on half-developed technological quick-fix technologies that carry extreme risks for our communities and our planets. I owe my deep commitment to ecological design to the lived reinforcement of permaculture practices and values that Quail Springs has offered to me and so many others.
QS: What do you feel is different in your life today because of your experience here?
AH: On a personal level, I treasure the time I get to spend at Quail Springs for the slowness, wisdom, and intentionality that the community brings into my life. The small pockets of time that I am able to spend on the land have acted as a powerful salve for my soul during times of much chaos and hopelessness for many of my generation. As a member of the Berkeley Student Cooperative, most recently as the landscape coordinator at Lothlorien Co-op (my 70-person vegan co-op in the Berkeley Student Co-op system), I have taken much of what I've learned—in particular, the permaculture design skills and the wisdom about fostering successful intentional communities—from Quail Springs and interwoven it into my community here to help move us toward deeper resilience.
Avery is currently a student in the College of Natural Resources at UC Berkeley, where she'll be graduating in May. She's also the landscape coordinator at Lothlorien Co-op.

I can appreciate wanting to move forward, but in my own personal experience, many small to medium businesses and clients require IE8 support for legacy computers, users etc. I suppose it all depends on your user base, and Bootstrap feels comfortable enough with IE8 numbers to do so. More power to them, but for many in the corporate world v3 will be the only choice for now.

Constructed with a fragmentized fire retardant volcanic rock outer layer (Rated 1500°F Direct Heat / 1800°F Radiant Heat) and internally insulated with high temperature calcium magnesium silicate wool (Rated 1800°F Direct Heat / 2300°F Peak Heat).
The COBB turbo blanket insulates the turbine housing offering multiple benefits. It prevents the dissipation of useful exhaust energy improving turbo RPM acceleration. This leads to faster turbo spool and getting to peak torque more quickly. It also helps limit heat soak to neighboring parts of the turbocharger. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

Daniel Boone and David Crockett graduation might move to the Mini Dome
By N&N Admin on December 13, 2016 Local Sports
BY COLLIN BROOKS
The Mini-Dome Musket Bowl days are behind Washington County, but it looks like the biggest structure on East Tennessee State University's campus could now become the home to the county's high school graduations.
Student Councils from both Daniel Boone and David Crockett presented a proposal to the Washington County Board of Education during their monthly meeting on Dec. 1 to ask the BOE to consider the move.
"Every year we deal with overcrowding and traffic outside, but most importantly parents have to sit in the cafeteria to watch their kids graduate on a projector because their isn't enough space in the gymnasium," said Daniel Boone Senior Class President Matthew Wells after the meeting.
No decision was made, as Washington County Board of Education Chairman Jack Leonard asked that it be brought through the Planning Committee, but once the proposal has made its cycle, Leonard said that the board could make a decision in January.
Planning Committee Chairman Clarence Mabe said that it was good that the proposal was delivered by the students because it shows that the students don't mind that it is being taken away from their campus.
"We knew this day would come, we really did," Mabe said. "Last year we passed the bucket to the principals and asked them what they wanted to do and they decided to keep it the way it was.
"The problem is, if you have a big family, you want all of them to see you graduate, not just two, three and you don't want them to go there at 7 o'clock in the morning. So we knew this day would come and I am glad that the students brought it to us."
In the presentation, the students presented a proposal to host the graduation on May 20 inside the Mountain States Health Alliance Athletic Center for a total of $2,789. That price was given with the condition that ETSU was able to leave the bulk of the graduation set-up on the arena floor after ETSU's graduation on May 6 and Northeast State's graduation on May 9.
Wells and his presenters said that each school averages close to $1,700 in order to host the event at their own gymnasiums.
It also assumed that traffic control would be handled to some extent by school resource officers and/or officers from the Washington County Sheriff's Department.
The plan reserves the space from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m., with the plans to have Daniel Boone's ceremony from 8 a.m. – 9 a.m. and David Crockett's from noon until 1 p.m. The price also includes a rehearsal day set Friday, May 19.
Board member Phillip McLain said that when he was on the planning committee a few years ago, holding graduation at the Mini Dome was talked about, but the prices made the idea unattainable. That isn't the case this time, he said.
"These prices, if they are accurate today, are certainly more do-able," said board member Phillip McLain, who noted he thought the last price they saw was close to $20,000. "These figures are very conservative."
Reports Card to come
through E-Mail
The BOE amended their rules to say that they will now be sending student progress electronically for grade levels 9-12, which will start next semester and save the school system $16,000 in a year. Parents are allowed to request a paper copy of the report.
Construction Manager chosen for new Boones Creek
The Washington County BOE chose Burleson Construction as their construction management team for the new Boones Creek K-8. The board unanimously chose Burleson over Hewlett-Spencer, LLC from Brentwood.
"That will be keeping it local, which I think is a good thing," Leonard said.

BkiUctjxK0iCl36cW6iR | Find out how increasingly popular online farmstands combine the bounty of local farmers' markets with the convenience of online shopping.
A new crop of online farmstands is providing family farms and small-scale food vendors with an aggregated venue to sell their products online. With no membership requirements, minimum orders or commitments, these sites give you a way to get the best local farms and food artisans have to offer with just a few clicks of your mouse. You pay by credit card and your selection is delivered to your doorstep or a convenient pick-up location.
The websites are sprouting faster than spring peas. Former Wall Streeter Todd Greenfield has created the most ambitious to date, americasfarmstand.com, with nationwide farms and delivery. Greenfield spends two weeks of each month visiting and selecting the small family farms and artisans that appear on the site. Rob Spiro, a former software techie with Google, has built up Goodeggs.com, which brings Bay Area produce to some San Francisco neighborhoods and hopes to expand in the coming year. And in Vermont, Suzy Hodgson has cofounded yourfarmstand.com, which now supports more than 12 local markets in towns around that state and plans to expand across the country to any community that wants to start a market.
The convenience isn't just for consumers. "It's great for farmers too," notes Hodgson. "Manning a farmstand means at least six hours away from the field." If farmers have a bumper crop of tomatoes, the website offers them the flexibility to easily sell their extra produce. Plus, it's one more way to reach people.
The Deal: Hand-selected sustainable family farms around the country, most organic.
The Deal: While the emphasis is on local and organic products, it also offers some conventional grocery store brands.
The Deal: Dedicated to local agriculture and sustainable farming, but also offers Heifer International shares and some national organic food brands.
The Deal: Neighborhood farms and food artisans (after receiving setup support, each local market is independently operated).
The Deal: Only local farms and food artisans. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUc-Y25V5ij0Pv7QcJ | The role of small intestinal antigen-presenting cells in the induction of T-cell reactivity to soluble protein antigens: association between aberrant presentation in the lamina propria and oral tolerance
Immunology. 1996 Nov;89(3):449-56. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-2567.1996.d01-760.x.

The oral administration of soluble protein antigen results in profound immunological tolerance. However, the tissue location and function of antigen-presenting cells (APC) that stimulate this response remain unclear. We have hypothesized that the properties of cells presenting antigen to naive T cells within the gut are involved, and therefore gut APC should stimulate T-cell responses with different characteristics to those induced by other APC. To test this, we studied in vitro primary T-cell responses following presentation of soluble protein antigen by cells from the Peyer's patches (PPC) and lamina propria (LPC) of the murine small intestine and the spleen (SPLC). Each APC population stimulated antigen-specific proliferative responses with similar anamnestic characteristics; however, analysis of the cytokines produced revealed marked differences. Whereas SPLC stimulated the balanced production of T-helper type 1 (Th1) and Th2 cytokines, PPC induced a profile consistent with the provision of T-cell help for IgA production. Interestingly, presentation of antigen by LPC stimulated high levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) in the absence of other cytokines [interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-5]. Evidence from analysis of cell activation and division within the cultures suggested that this profile may result from the preferential activation of CD8+ T cells by LPC; however, the lack of conventional CD4+ T-cell cytokines indicated a defect in the normal function of these cells. Adoptive transfer of antigen-pulsed LPC to syngeneic animals abrogated the induction of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responsiveness, which followed a subsequent conventional antigen challenge further suggesting a role for lamina propria APC in tolerance induction.

BkiUfds5qhLBr1LtGI8y | Supergirl Film Rumor: Brainiac At present Anticipated To Be The Villain
A brand new rumor has began circulating across the web suggesting that Brainiac might be the principle villain for the Supergirl film. It's been a wild, rumor-filled week for the DCEU, with some suggesting that Superman himself Henry Cavill might be stepping down from the position whereas others, together with Cavill's agent, say he'll be sticking round. With Cavill's future as Superman unsure, but extra rumors have instructed that Warner Bros. is focusing their efforts on bringing Clark Kent's Kryptonian cousin Kara to the large display for her own solo Supergirl movie.
Even earlier than the rumors of Cavill's departure began to pop up, Warner Bros. was reportedly within the early levels of manufacturing a Supergirl movie, even hiring 22 Bounce Road author Oren Uziel to pen the script. The studio has additionally apparently been trying to recreate the circumstances that led to their extremely profitable Marvel Girl film by hiring a feminine director to helm the mission, with names like Reed Morano being considered. Now, nevertheless, it's rumored that the Supergirl movie has probably discovered its villain.
Associated: Every Female-Driven DC Movie in Development
In accordance with Daniel R at SuperBroMovies, the plan for now's for Brainiac to step into the villain position for the Supergirl film. This rumor builds on one other rumor that Supergirl will take place in the 1970s, lengthy earlier than Cavill's Superman is round.
<!–[if IE 9]>
<![endif]–><!–[if IE 9]>
Naturally, rumors like this needs to be taken with an enormous grain of salt and it will not be the primary time that this explicit supply has gotten it mistaken. Nonetheless, bringing such an epic villain like Brainiac to the large display for the primary time will surely be an effective way to make Supergirl a must-see movie for comedian followers. It additionally wouldn't be the primary time that Brainiac has been talked about by somebody related to the DCEU, with Cavill himself stating months in the past that he'd just like the character to be the main villain for Man of Steel 2.
With Cavill's future because the Man of Metal at the moment unsure, it's actually attainable that Warner Bros. took that concept and carried out it as a substitute for his or her Supergirl film. It additionally may be somewhat unusual for the character to point out up as opposition to Supergirl earlier than Superman, contemplating how a lot of a significant adversary he's been to the comedian model of the latter. After all, this wouldn't be the primary time that DC and Warner Bros. has altered or outright modified the mythos of characters in comparison with their comedian counterpart. For now, followers will merely have to attend and see if rumors of Brainiac's involvement in Supergirl has any advantage.

BkiUdDHxK7kjXIK5rb8i | Best Braces: Smile Direct!
Smile Direct Club Locations New York
smiledirectclubreview / By BracesGuru
In June, the thin, transparent plastic trays that fit over her leading and bottom teeth came in the mail. McKinney is working through the series gradually, swapping the very first set for the next, and the next, as her teeth move. It'll take about 9 months in all. But after three months of wearing these trays practically every day and night, McKinney is excited about showing off her new smile (Smile Direct Club Locations New York).
Danny Menendez/ BuzzFeed News Inside one of SmileDirectClub's New york city City places. SmileDirectClub's service design seems working. Align Technology– the company that makes Invisalign, SmileDirect's main rival– invested $46.7 million to end up being SmileDirect's special provider in 2015, and this year invested another $12.8 million, to own a total of 19% of the business.
Meanwhile, lookalikes have actually released with comparable services: Orthly, introduced by 2 University of Pennsylvania trainees, now offers services to clients in Philadelphia, and Honest Co. introduced in New York this summer. A SmileDirect client can be matched with among 225 associated dentists or orthodontists in all 50 states. These oral experts from another location examine patient cases and then develop the aligners that SmileDirect sends in the mail.
The company declined to call any of the medical specialists within its network, and would not provide details about its monetary relationships with them. "Essentially they are gathering payments and paying us marketing fees," Fenkell said."I think that claim is rather phony," AAO's basic counsel Dillard stated. "The customers don't even see a dental practitioner.
(SmileDirectClub has a two-star score on Yelp.) And numerous expert dental practitioners are alarmed that customers never see a licensed doctor before or during their treatment."It blew my mind," Casi Stubbs, a Florida orthodontist and member of the American Association of Orthodontists, told BuzzFeed News. Like typical orthodontists, SmileDirect's dental experts base their prescriptions on computer simulations of mouth scans.
"The teeth do not move biologically like they do on the computer system," Stubbs said. One of her clients, 60-year-old Charlene Burnham, is a SmileDirect client whose too-tight aligners cut her gums, exposing part of her tooth near the root. Burnham informed BuzzFeed News she invested a week attempting– and stopping working– to talk to a SmileDirect dental professional on the phone, then went to Stubbs for assistance."They were bleeding, they were cut to the root," Burnham said.
"I was appalled."A SmileDirect representative informed BuzzFeed News by e-mail that company-affiliated dental professionals "track the client's progress throughout treatment at regular intervals."The business "facilitates the communications" of consumers and dental companies, the agent said. "Oral suppliers interact directly with patients through the consumer portal and via SMS or phone when suitable or shown."In a YouTube video that's been seen over 21,000 times given that June, Baltimore orthodontist Jeffrey Miller alerted individuals away from the service, stating that no orthodontist would ever prescribe aligners without very first taking the X-rays that SmileDirect skips.
(The video was removed after this story published.)Grant Olson, a dental professional in Springfield, Missouri, told BuzzFeed News that the business's product marketing, which compares itself with orthodontist-fitted Invisalign, is deceiving. Unlike Invisalign trays, which orthodontists can enhance by sticking special attachments on a tooth, SmileDirect's item is restricted to really slight corrections: The aligners can fix a tilt, however can't move a tooth's orientation or position together with its root.
He described that SmileDirect-affiliated orthodontists just approve cases that appropriate for a remote consultation and do not need follow-up dental sees (Smile Direct Club Locations New York). Laws for dental professionals vary across states, however there are some common styles in the 36 complaints sent out by the AAO: Some states think about making impressions and supplying retainers to be the function of a certified physician, however SmileDirectClub normally offers those services.
AAO basic counsel Dillard likewise told BuzzFeed News that the business's company model incentivizes dental practitioners associated with SmileDirect to recommend the trays even if they aren't needed. Danny Menendez/ BuzzFeed News Although the business hasn't brought in the attention of regulators yet, consumer complaints are plentiful online. TL; DR: Prepare for a rough flight.
The huge bulk of customers in these groups resign themselves to dealing with the snags since there are just no other choices (Smile Direct Club Locations New York)."If you can be patient, desire an inexpensive strategy, SDC IS the ideal method to go! Having a positive attitude and being patient goes a LONG method," Melanie Masso wrote to BuzzFeed News.
For lots of other consumers, the trip is a bust. Seattle resident Melissa Gulick informed BuzzFeed News that at the end of practically a year of treatment, the aligners have actually destroyed her bite: Her front teeth touch before her molars can make contact (Smile Direct Club Locations New York). "I'm pretty frustrated– food is difficult to chew now and they won't repair it!"Gulick said that after complaints to the company, SmileDirectClub agreed to continue treatment for totally free.
When inquired about grievances that the trays destroyed customers' bites, a SmileDirect agent told BuzzFeed News: "Over 95% of our clients total treatment and validate their completed new smile. It's crucial to keep in mind that with any orthodontic procedure, bites will continue to shift up until the treatment is finished."Another client, 24-year-old Drexel University trainee Kacie Durham, informed BuzzFeed News that SmileDirectClub sent her a simulated treatment plan that made her teeth look even worse."It actually made my teeth appear more uneven at the bottom," she said.
Durham returned her trays and gotten a refund. Later, an orthodontist not associated with the company informed her that her teeth would have to be submitted and formed prior to they could be aligned. Durham felt fooled: SmileDirect had actually approved her for a treatment that would never have worked."If a prospective client is unhappy with the 3d preview of his or her smile, there is no responsibility to buy aligners," the SmileDirectClub agent stated (Smile Direct Club Locations New York).
Minelle Tendler, a Boca Raton orthodontist, joined one of the biggest Facebook groups, the 11,800-member SmileDirectClub Assistance, after 2 of her clients asked about the product. In perusing the posts that appear in her Facebook feed, Tendler said that she's not seen anybody state they have actually had the ability to speak to a dentist at the business.
"You're asking someone who has no dental background, 'Is this going to work?'"More than when, Tendler has stopped short of replying to threads on the online forum. She sits on her hands since the clients are not hers. "I'm taking a look at the images and thinking, Oh my god, you require to get teeth taken out, don't do it."Primarily, she is fretted that people who are wooed by SmileDirectClub's low cost aren't fully mindful of the downsides of avoiding an oral see.
A previous version of this article misidentified him as an orthodontist. Align Technology owns 19% of SmileDirectClub. A previous version of this story stated it was 17%. Also, SmileDirectClub started operating in North Carolina in early October. A previous variation of this story, based on an August interview with cofounder Alex Fenkell, said that the company was not running in North Carolina.
Mail-in aligners might appear like a good option for a slight fix. But bear in mind you're not the specialist on how minimal a fix your teeth require. "It's difficult to go from something that's 90% good to make it 100% best; in my experience, I find that these are the harder cases," Dr.
The outcomes of utilizing invisible aligners can be extremely unpredictable, since some people react well to them and others will not. "It's extremely difficult to monitor this by yourself, because– like whatever in medication– not everybody responds the very same," he states. The genuine difficulty features finding out how to remedy your smile if you're not reacting properly to the retainers, he states.

BkiUdj85qsBDEK-qJGHa | THIS Sunday, the Glasgow Men's 10k will mark its 10th anniversary with a challenging route from the Riverside Museum to George Square.
LATE entry spots are still available for the Glasgow Men's 10k this Sunday. This year's race also marks the 10th anniversary of the charity run.
The first race was started by the Men's Health Forum Scotland as a focal point for raising awareness of men's health issues. It has positively touched the lives of over 30,000 men and is now a major event on both the running and health event calendars, attracting 4,000 men and growing each year.
Starting at the spectacular setting of the Riverside Museum, the route heads east along the River Clyde and takes in scenic views across the river. Iconic buildings to look out for include the Glasgow Science Centre, The Armadillo, The SECC and the SSE Hydro; all within the first 2km. The route then heads along Anderson Quay and over the Squiggly Bridge with views up and down the Clyde.
Once across the Clyde, the route swings east and then back across the Clyde and onto Argyle Street, Buchanan Street and along the south side of George Square, by which point you are now at the halfway mark which hosts not just the water station and toilet stop but also the city centre crowds to cheer you on.
The route continues down Saltmarket and across the Clyde for the third time and through the Gorbals at the 7km mark, before crossing back over the Clyde for the final time.
Runners enter Glasgow Green and pass the People's Palace with 2km to go. As you leave the Green and pass Glasgow Cross, you enter the last kilometre and wind back through the city centre, past the Old Fruitmarket and zig zag back along to George Square where cheering crowds await to help you in one last effort to cross the finish line where you'll receive your well earned medal, water and goody bag.
Sign up for the 10k to challenge yourself, raise awareness for men's health, and enjoy some pretty special views of the city.
The Glasgow Men's 10k takes place this Sunday, June 19. A late entry form - and more information - is available on the official website. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdro5qdmDHWQtrOek | For Krim the Bell Tolls: Chapter 17
Read all previous installments here.
"No!" Pleasance Pratt rushed through the door, knocking a surprised pirate out of the way. "Get your hands off my customer!" She beat the pirate holding George with her tiny fists.
George took the opportunity to twist away, ran back into the room, and crawl under one of the bunks. Wynefrede had to jump out of the way to let him past. Then she peered out into the hall.
Two pirates were trying to restrain Pleasance but she fought like a dervish, the narrow corridor making it difficult for the pirates to get their hands on her.
"All I wanted was to throw a few nice parties!" Pleasance yelled, kicking a pirate in the shins. "Help a few lonely people!" She ducked under the hands of another pirate trying to grab her and scratched the first one's face. "Why do people keep kidnapping my clients?" She grabbed a knife from one of the pirates and backed into a corner, holding the knife out in front of her. Then she jerked her arm back and held the knife to her own throat. "Step back or I'll kill myself!"
"Move aside! I said, move aside!" A deep male voice echoed down the corridor. Wynefrede froze in place. She recognized the voice.
"I mean it, I'll kill myself!" Pleasance yelled.
The captain's heavy steps approached. Wynefrede ducked back inside the room and Benedicta took her place at the door.
"Give her space," said Captain Kraken. "Now, what's all this about?"
"They started fighting in there," said one of the other pirates.
"Separate them," the captain said.
"What about her?" Wynefrede guessed the pirate was asking about Pleasance.
"If she was going to kill herself, she would have done it already."
"Come on, do it," Benedicta muttered under her breath. "Nope, she didn't do it." She turned back to Wynefrede and Margarett. "They got her," she said. George let out a groan from under the bunk.
Then a burly hand yanked Benedicta into the hallway.
"Take this one down to the brig and tie her up." The captain appeared in the doorway and Wynefrede scooted down the cot, all the way back to the far wall. Margarett pressed against her.
"Now, what are we going to do with the two of you?" He looked down and saw George peering out from his hiding place. "The three of you?"
He bent down to look George in the eye. "We can use someone scrubbing the floors," he said. "You want to sign up? No? That fine." The captain straightened and looked back.
"We were going to throw him overboard," someone said. "He doesn't match the description, and if he's causing trouble, then he'll be more effort than it's worth."
"No, no, I'll sign up," said George.
"You sure?" the captain asked. "It's a tough life, being a pirate. I mean, it has some advantages, too. The freedom of the high seas. The thrill of the chase. The booty. Some like it."
"I'll try," said George.
"And you'll behave?"
"I swear."
"Well, come on then."
George crawled out. As he straighted up, he briefly turned away from the captain and whispered "I'll figure out a way to save you," to Margarett and Wynefrede.
Wynefrede glanced at the captain to see if he'd heard, but he was leaning into the hallway, motioning at someone out of view.
"Take the guy up on deck and have him start scrubbing," said Captain Kraken. He patted George on the shoulder and then pushed him out into the hall. "And get him some real pants."
George disappeared down the corridor and then Wynefrede saw Pleasance being dragged past.
"Take her…" The captain stopped and thought.
"There's still room in the brig," another pirate said.
"Fine, tie her up down there. Make sure she can't reach the other one."
The captain then turned back and stared at Wynefrede and Margarett. "Now, what are we going to do with the two of you?" He scratched under his beard.
"You can let us go," said Wynefrede. "Whatever anyone is paying you to kidnap us, we can pay more."
Margarett nodded. "We're rich," she said.
"Now, what kind of man would I be if I went back on my word?" said Captain Kraken.
"A pirate? You'd be a pirate." Wynefrede shrank back as the captain narrowed his eyes at her. "I mean, pirates do whatever they want," she said. "Don't they?"
"I live by the pirate code," said Captain Kraken. "My word is my bond." He spread his arms as far as the tight constraints of the room would allow. "Out here, on the open seas, there are no contracts. There are no governing bodies. No rules. No regulations. You can truly tell the measure of a man by how he acts outside of society's constraints. And do you know what kind of many I am?"
Margarett shook her head. "No?" she whispered.
"The kind who kidnaps and tortures innocent people?" asked Wynefrede.
"The kind who keeps his word," said the captain. He pulled Margarett to her feet. "I like the look of you," he said. "You can stay in my room." He dragged her behind him as he turned and walked out into the corridor. "The other one can bunk with Fishlips."
Margarett grabbed the doorframe and looked back at Wynefrede, who jumped up and tried to get a hold of her friend. She wrapped her arms around Margarett's waist and planted her foot against the doorframe. But the captain yanked hard and tore Margarett out of her arms.
Wynefrede retreated back into the room as the first two pirates came back in.
"Looks like we're getting our room back," said one.
"Yeah, we were going to have to sleep out on deck because of you lot," said the other.
"Well, I still might. You snore."
"And you smell."
"You cheat at cards."
"You drink too much and they cry about how much you miss your ex."
One of the pirates grabbed Wynefrede by the shoulder, squeezing so hard it hurt. She tried to jerk away, but he squeezer tighter and she squealed in pain.
"Behave," the pirate said. "We have to keep you alive, but nobody said anything about keeping you in one piece."
"You know what Shorty's hobby is?" said the other pirate. "He likes slicing thin strips of skin off his victims and then rubbing salt into the wound."
"Then I tan the skin and make it into leather," said Shorty. "I already collected enough for a friendship bracelet."
The other pirate held up his wrist, which had a braided leather strap wrapped around it.
"Now I'm working on a whip," Shorty said.
"And if you think he's bad, wait until you meet Fishlips."
They took Wynefrede up the stairs to the upper deck, then towards the back of the ship. That's where the officer's quarters were on the Santa Marina. The Queen's Revenge looked to be roughly the same size, now that Wynefrede saw it in the sunlight for the first time. George was already on his hands and knees scrubbing she tried to catch his eye as she was dragged past, but he looked away, probably to hide the tears on his face.
"What did you do to him?" Wynefrede asked Shorty as he pulled her through a door into what looked like the officer's mess.
"Don't bother yourself about him," said Shorty. "You're going to have bigger things to worry about soon enough."
He pulled open the door of a cabin and pushed her in. There was only one bed in the room and she stood in the center, wondering what she was supposed to do. She looked around. Fishlips didn't go in for decorating. Other than the bed, the only other things in the room were a storage chest and a chamber pot. She glanced up at the porthole. It was open. If the pirate gave her a couple of minutes alone, she might be able to climb out.
But Shorty continued to stand over her, his hand firmly gripping her shoulder.
She looked away from the porthole. On the wall across from the bed there was a poster, a wood cut illustration of a kitten hanging from a sail spar over the water. The text underneath said, "Hang in there, baby."
Wynefrede shivered.
Shorty's friendship bracelet friend came back holding a chain and an armload of blankets. He threw the blankets of the floor.
"You can sleep on those," Shorty said and held her tight as his friend chained her to the cross brace under Fishlips' bed. "I hope you don't snore," he added. "Fishlips has a bad temper."
After they left, Wynefrede fruitlessly pulled at the chain then tried opening the door. It was locked from the outside. She sat down on the floor on the pile of blankets, leaned against Fishlips' bed, wrapped her arms around her knees, and stared at the kitten poster.
What kind of a monster was she going to be sharing a room with, if even Shorty thought Fishlips was bad.
She glanced at the chest, then back at the door. She'd have a few seconds if someone came in because they'd have to unlock it first.
She shifted around until she was on her knees in front of the storage chest. There was a lock on it, but it wasn't bolted all the way. She pulled it apart, opened the lid, and gasped when she saw what was inside.
She slammed the lid shut, then locked it tight and backed away as far as she could.
1 thought on "For Krim the Bell Tolls: Chapter 17"
This situation with these pirates is awfully macabre. And, the chapter ends on a cliffhanger. What's in the chest? It sounds pretty horrible. Poor Wynefrede, the reader feels a lot of empathy for her. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUcTDxK3YB9ohkLkWZ | Q: Access, combobox with multiple selections: how to see if an certain item is included? In my Access form I have a ComboBox that allows multiple selection. I would like to see if a certain item is selected. How to do?
It would be great if exists something like:
if Me.<ComboBox name>.Options.<Item_5>.Selected = True Then
msgbox "it is included"
End If
A: When the Control Source of the ComboBox points to a field which may contain multiple values, the Value property of the ComboBox returns an array.
Therefore, the task is reduced to testing whether the array contains the item in question, which may be achieved using the following (amongst other ways):
InStr(1, Join(<ComboBoxName>.Value, ","), <Item_5>) > 0
EDIT: Following Erik's comment, the below may be a more appropriate way to test for the presence of the item:
Dim itm As Variant
Dim rtn As Boolean
For Each itm In <ComboBoxName>.Value
If itm = <Item_5> Then
rtn = True
Exit For
End If
Next itm
If rtn Then MsgBox "Item is included"

BkiUd9Y5qdmDNmRzVrxm | In the end we decided to go and I am glad we did!
It turned out to be one of the most challenging hikes I've ever been on, and a lot of fun. It took us two hours on the dot to make it to the cabin, with a LOT of scrambling up waterfalls etc. The pictures don't do it justice.
After that, we ate a lot of salmon berries (I could see huckleberry plants but it was too early for berries!!! 🙁 ) and prepared for the next day of looooong motoring back down the inlet.
Princess Louisa Inlet is a really extraordinary place – I could see it being so busy during peak season though. Even at the start of June, the dock was often full. I'd love to see it in the winter or full summer, but probably not for a while. Maybe if I get a faster boat – the two full days of travel are brutal! | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUe2Y5qsFChfNA2sLn | Pious servants of the sun god, dwarven graveslayers belong to an elite group of undead-slaying warriors. Trained and drilled from an early age in the art of battle, these dwarves are molded into fanatical fighters against the skeletons, zombies, and worse creatures that threaten their mountain homeland. Although not full paladins, the graveslayers have blessings from the sun god that grant them the ability to channel holy power through their weapons and ensure that the undead they slay do not rise up again. The bodies of any fallen comrades are carried back home whenever possible to ensure they do not line up against the dwarves as undead opponents in the future.
Multiattack. The graveslayer makes two attacks with its blessed battleaxe.
Blessed Battleaxe. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage, or 9 (1d10 + 4) slashing damage if used with two hands, plus 7 (2d6) radiant damage. If the target is undead, it takes an extra 3 (1d6) radiant damage. The blessed battleaxe is silvered, and it is magical while in the graveslayer's hands.
Handaxe. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) slashing damage.
Turn Undead (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). The graveslayer presents its holy symbol and says a prayer. Each undead creature within 30 feet that can see or hear it must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or be turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage. A turned undead must spend its turns trying to move as far away from the graveslayer as it can, and it can't take reactions or willingly move to a space within 30 feet of the graveslayer.
Brave Sacrifice. When an ally within 5 feet of the graveslayer is the target of an attack the graveslayer can see, the graveslayer can swap places with the ally, becoming the target instead.
The necromancers of the Blood Kingdom regularly animate the corpses of dwarven raiders as zombies. When a graveslayer's body is available, they use dark rituals to corrupt its soul, enlisting it to fight against its former comrades.
A corrupted graveslayers' type changes from humanoid to undead, and it inflicts extra necrotic (rather than radiant) damage with its battleaxe. It loses the ability to turn undead. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUd644eIOjR7R12rbr | Anyone who participates in sports, whether for pleasure, in youth or adult leagues, or even on a professional level – knows that losing isn't the worst thing that can happen to a player; sustaining a serious injury is, particularly when that injury is preventable. That's why it's so important for adults and children who are active in sports to wear protective gear such as helmets, shin guards, knee and elbow pads, and mouth guards. Wearing a mouthguard can prevent serious injury and save a lot of pain. Each year this simple safety measure prevents more than 200,000 oral injuries among athletes.
Mouth guards Aren't Mandatory in Most Sports. Why Are They Important?
Facial and head injuries can be sustained in nearly every game, from "contact" sports such as football, soccer and basketball, to "non-contact" sports like baseball, gymnastics, bicycling or skateboarding. Damage to the teeth, lips, tongue and jaws are frequent occurrences in both children and adults. General dentists see more injuries to the mouth as a result of playing sports than from almost any other single cause. A survey conducted by the University of Texas found nearly 5 percent of male college athletes who played football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, baseball, ice hockey and lacrosse without wearing a mouthguard sustained some oral injury. That's more than 2,000 injuries in just a single year at the college level alone! It's at the junior high, high school, community and amateur levels that most injuries occur.
Although more research is needed, mouth guards may help prevent serious injuries such as concussions. The literature has shown that mouth guards definitely help prevent fractured jaws and teeth, severe cuts to the cheek and tongue (often requiring surgery for repair), and traumatic damage to the roots and bone that hold teeth in place. mouth guards are designed to help cushion the mouth, teeth and jaw, preventing significant damage where sports injuries are most prevalent. While mouth guards are not required equipment in many sports, wearing one is an important precaution for athletes of any age and ability.
What Should I Know Before Choosing a Mouthguard?
For a mouthguard to be most effective, it is essential that it fit properly and stay in place during vigorous activity and the various positions the sport requires. We can determine what appliances (braces, retainers, bridgework, dentures) would be affected by wearing a mouthguard. Because growth spurts occur in the mouth just as they do elsewhere in the body, it's especially important for child's mouth to be evaluated by us before selecting a mouthguard. Different sports involve different levels of risk and potential injury we can help you select the right type of mouthguard for you or your child's sport of choice.
Formed by your dentist from a cast model of your teeth, these custom-made guards are designed to cover all the teeth and are shown in the literature to be the best type of protection. These mouth guards can cushion falls and blows to the chin. Custom-made mouth guards may be slightly more expensive than commercially produced mouthpieces, but they offer the best possible fit and protection and are the most comfortable.
These guards are generally made of acrylic gel or thermoplastic materials shaped to fit the contours of your teeth. They are placed in boiling water then attempted to be formed and molded to the teeth. They are commercially produced and do not offer the same fit and protection as a custom fitted mouthguard made from a model of the mouth.
Commercially produced, off-the-shelf mouth guards are the least expensive, but also the least comfortable and the least effective protective mouthpieces. These rubber or polyvinyl pre-formed guards can be purchased at most sporting goods stores. They offer no attempt at fit whatsoever and are not recommended in the dental literature.
What Can I Do To Make My Mouthguard Last?
Like all sports equipment, proper care will make any mouthguard last longer. Keep your mouthpiece in top shape by rinsing it with soap and water or mouthwash after each use and allowing it to air-dry. With proper care, a mouthguard should last the length of a season. The condition of the mouthguard should be checked before each use, particularly if the athlete has a tendency to chew on it. mouth guards may be checked by your CDA member dentist at your regularly scheduled examinations.
Wearing a Mouthguard Makes Good Sense. If you or your children participate in sports, make sure that you are informed about the most common injuries that can occur during play and take appropriate steps to be protected. Always wear a properly fitted mouthguard when you play. Do not wear removable appliances (retainers, bridges, or complete or partial dentures) when playing sports. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUd6g5qoYA3uO8xHMZ | The study set out to explore prospects of using digital libraries to enhance access to academic materials to library users in the Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs) in Kilimanjaro region, Tanzania. Interviews, questionnaires and focus group discussions were methodological underpinnings adopted to explore the case using cross-sectional type of designs. Study findings revealed that despite the fact that each HLI had a library, but sitting pattern did not keep pace with the increasing number of students enrolled each year. Opening and closing hours were also observed to be an obstacle for many library users to access learning materials, lack of variety and updated books in various study disciplines, and involvement of a lot of mechanical books searching was also observed to be challenges facing readers in the existing libraries. The turning point for the above mentioned challenges is to establish digital library. However, digital library implementation fall into doldrums because of the following identified factors; shortage of fund, low technology, power rationing, inadequate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools to the libraries, shortage of skilled personnel who can start and run digital library, unstable network infrastructures, and high cost for internet bandwidth. The study calls for deliberate action to implement digital libraries especially in HLIs in order to harvest the prospects of digital libraries in enhancing access to learning materials and consequently improving students' academic performance. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUa5PxK03BfNelU5fp | The fourth and final season of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman originally aired between September 22, 1996 and June 14, 1997, beginning with "Lord of the Flys".
The series loosely follows the comic philosophy of writer John Byrne, with Clark Kent as the true personality, and Superman as a secondary disguise. As the show's title suggests, it focuses as much on the relationship between Clark Kent and Lois Lane on the adventures of Clark's alter-ego. The central characters in season 4 are Dean Cain as Clark Kent/Superman, Teri Hatcher as Lois Lane, Lane Smith as Perry White, Eddie Jones as Jonathan Kent, K Callan as Martha Kent, Justin Whalin as Jimmy Olsen.
The fourth and final season had several two-part episodes. It began with the resolution of a cliffhanger involving a previously unknown colony of Kryptonians. A villainous conqueror from New Krypton, Lord Nor, takes over Clark's hometown of Smallville. After the conclusion of this story, Lois and Clark finally wed in the third episode of the season entitled "Swear To God, This Time We're Not Kidding". The same week of the airing of this episode, DC Comics released Superman: The Wedding Album, featuring the long-awaited marriage of Lois and Clark/Superman, written and penciled by many of the writers and artists involved with Superman since the 1986 revamp, including some legends from the Silver Age, and an unpublished work of the late Curt Swan.
The series ended on a cliffhanger in which Lois and Clark find an infant in Clark's old bassinet, along with a note that claimed the child belonged to them. This mystery was never resolved in the TV series, but Brad Buckner (executive producer and writer for seasons three and four) later revealed in an interview that the infant was in fact Kryptonian royalty hidden with Lois and Clark so that they could protect him from assassins.
Earlier in the fourth season, ABC had announced and promised an additional fifth year of the show, so the show's producers and writers were caught unprepared when ABC later changed its mind and decided that no new episodes would be produced. The series had weakened in its Sunday 8:00 timeslot and had been shifted to 7:00 in January, and finally a last-ditch move to Saturdays in the spring. The ratings dropped even further, and the show finished its last season at 104th place. ABC made up for its commitment with Warner Bros. by ordering thirteen episodes of a Debra Messing drama called Prey.

BkiUbc44eILhQCVbdcsO | The Congress party has released its second list of candidates for the upcoming Rajasthan Assembly elections. Manvendra Singh, the son of former union minister Jaswant Singh, will contest against CM Vasundhara Raje from Jhalrapatan. Voting for Assembly elections in Rajasthan is to be held on December 7. Counting of votes is slated for December 11.
Manvendra Singh has tasted success earlier in 2013 Assembly elections when he won from the Sheo constituency in Barmer.
Vasundhra Raje is a three-time MLA from Jhalrapatan. Manvendra Singh had quit BJP in September this year and joined the Congress party.
He got emotional about leaving the BJP in an interview earlier. "Leaving my family wasn't easy. When no one heard me within the family, a friend (Rahul Gandhi) heard me," he had said.
Manvendra's father Jaswant Singh was a Cabinet minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government. He was denied a BJP ticket during the 2014 Lok Sabha election which saw Narendra Modi become prime minister. Jaswant Singh then contested as an Independent and lost to BJP candidate. Unfortunately, Jaswant Singh has been in coma for four years.
The other states going in for polls in December are Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram and Telangana. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUaxTxK6Ot9Pm3tHi4 | Power generation can be accomplished through various processes. Most common in thermal power generation, hydal power generation etc. For such operations, the plants needs to be established which requires several machines and equipments. Such industrial facilities include one or more generators, rotating machine which is being used to convert the mechanical power into electrical.
As obvious that these operations require high temperature and may be heated as well. Thus the chance of damaging machinery is high. But if the things can be planned ahead may lessen the amount of loss perfectly. Such as, if the Heat resistant alloy has to be included in the machines which are of Nickel-based can save the after effects of operations. The Nickel-chromium alloys where the percentage of Cr will be more than 15%, can be used for providing oxidation and carburization resistance both where the temperate may reach above 760°C.
While converting the water into electric power the rotater machine continuously fixed for rotation at a certain speed. As the machine is obviously made up of metal and if it will be continuously exposed to water may develop corrosion.But if the machine will be manufactured by using the Nickel-base alloys, the loss can be saved easily.
Nickel alloys Is also having the capacity of low thermal expansion on high temperature exposure. Iron-36% Ni alloy (Invar) has the minimum expansion of the Fe-Ni alloys and maintains usually constant structure during general atmospheric temperature variation.
Electrical resistant alloys are a great option for the plants where the electric power generation being accomplished. Several nickel alloys or containing high amount of nickel are actively used in the instruments and the controlling equipment for measuring and regulating the electrical properties. These can be used at several places at an electrical power generating plant. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUdxQ5qX_BwR884OyJ | What is an vehicle wrap advertising wrap?
An vehicle wrap advertising is a large vinyl graphic applied directly over the vehicle's original paint. If you want to use your vehicle as mobile billboard, a vehicle wrap is a great way to build awareness for your business wherever you travel and park to help you deliver your message day and night.
Can I customize my vehicle wrap with a brand logo or artwork?
Absolutely. Your custom vehicle wrap can include digitally printed graphics with artwork, type, brand logos and photos to identify and promote your business to your customers.
Do vehicle wraps damage a paint job?
No. Vehicle wraps can actually protect your paint from minor scratches. Vehicle wraps can protect the paint from sun damage, minor abrasions and stone chips.
How long do advertising vehicle wraps typically last?
A vehicle wrap will typically last no more than 2-3 years depending on the weather conditions, care and overall treatment. Find a FASTSIGNS center to learn more.
How are they removed? Can I do it myself?
Vehicle wraps should be applied and removed by installation professionals at your local FASTSIGNS center. The removal process does not damage the vehicle and leaves the original paint in the same condition as it was before it was covered.
Will a wrap actually protect my vehicle?
In many cases, a vehicle wrap will actually protect your vehicle's paint job.
Depending on the design of the vehicle graphic, the vehicle contours and the size of the vehicle, the length of time for vehicle wrap installation could take from one to three days. Large vehicles or more complex graphics can take longer.
Are advertising car wraps road legal?
Before you advertise your business on your car, you may want to check with your local municipalities and state laws. Many states regulate rear-tinted windows and many cities regulate commercial advertisements on cars. If you are unsure about car business advertisements, check with your local FASTSIGNS center.
What do I do if my wrap gets damaged?
You can have the damaged pieces or panel of your vehicle wrap replaced after you repair your vehicle. In most cases, you do not need to rewrap the entire vehicle if damage occurs in a certain area of the car.
Can I run my vehicle through the car wash with the wrap on it?
We suggest hand washing as the best way to care for your vehicle with a vehicle wrap. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdpQ5qhLA5_F8kKcC | The Supreme Audit Office focused on VAT administration in cross-border e-commerce between traders and consumers in the years 2015-2017. Auditors examined how the EU's tax administration system had been set up and how it had worked in practice. They also reviewed how the financial and customs authorities had proceeded in the VAT administration and what impact the tax collection had had on revenues of the state budget. In cooperation with the Federal Court of Auditors of Germany, the auditors verified the functioning of the so-called minimum one-stop shop (MOSS).
The audit has shown that the value of the goods sent and the selected services delivered as well as the value of VAT paid to the Czech Republic are not known at all. Nonetheless, this will be a significant amount of money as from 2015 until mid-2017, transactions supported by evidence worth at least CZK 100 billion were sent from the Czech Republic.
The reason is that the VAT administration is not well set as for the goods dispatch between EU countries and the provision of selected services. The problem lies mainly in the insufficient international exchange of information and the inadequate distribution of competences among the individual countries of the European Union. Taxation is the responsibility of the country where the goods or services have been provided from another country. However, this country is very often not informed about the deal.
"If a Czech consumer orders some goods, for example, from an e-shop in Germany, the supplier is liable to pay VAT - in this case, a German e-shop - to the Czech Republic. The problem is that if the supplier does no report the transaction, the tax administrator does not maybe know about it. And if he does not know about it, he cannot assess or impose the tax", explained Jiří Kalivoda, a Member of the SAO, who conducted the audit.
Despite the inappropriately set up system, financial authorities were able to engage actively in cross-border transactions and identify whether individual entities levied taxes as required. The SAO found out that the audited tax authorities had failed to look for taxable persons and to check them - the search was random and rather isolated. There are, however, specific inspiring procedures, for example, in the UK, Finland, Latvia, Denmark, and Bulgaria. These countries actively target taxable persons and apply other tax collection measures - from co-operation with card and payment companies through communication with carriers and shipping companies to the control and monitoring of web domains and e-shops and the determination of their responsibility for correct taxation.
The auditors chose generally well-known websites of 15 foreign e-shops and e-market operators and asked the Financial Administration for the Moravian-Silesian Region whether these e-shops were registered in the Czech Republic for the payment of VAT and, if so, how they fulfilled their obligations. The Financial Administration did not dispose of the information needed to know if and how these operators should pay VAT in the Czech Republic. Simultaneously, many of the suppliers offer delivery to the Czech Republic and are therefore likely to be subject to VAT.
The auditors also focused on the VAT levy associated with the import of consignments from non-EU countries as well. The control system set up by the customs authorities works, but it has mainly a preventive function. This is owing to the large number of shipments that travel to the Czech Republic, as well as the high costs on additional tax assessment. This is due to the fact that the whole process regulated by legislation and international agreements is administratively demanding and lengthy.
The audit was carried out parallelly with the German Federal Court of Auditors in order to verify the functioning of MOSS, which would make the VAT levy on cross-border transactions easier. MOSS allows suppliers which are active on markets of several EU Member States to fulfil their VAT obligations through the tax authorities of one Member State and do not have to pay their VAT in a number of countries where it would be complicated to register. Despite some shortcomings, the special regime has proved its worth, because it has reduced the administrative burden on both tax administrators and taxable entities.
The forthcoming joint international report on this parallel audit will serve as a basis for discussing solutions at European level. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUfs_xK3xgpfdGRZ9w | Insigne targeted by two clubs in potential €100m deal
Nebojsa Markovic in Serie A, Transfer News & Rumours 10 Mar 2019
Lorenzo Insigne could be on his way out of Napoli. If the rumours from this weekend turn out to be true, then the club from the San Paolo stadium will have to let their man leave. As it stands, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are interested in the Italian player!
Gazetta dello Sport reports that the Napoli's captain has more than three years left on his contract and that the club will do their best to keep him in Naples. The 27-year old is in his peak years and president Aurelio De Laurentis does not want to sell his key player. However, both Man City and PSG could make De Laurentis rethink that.
If the two rich clubs get into a bidding war, Napoli might get the best deal out of all sides. They are reportedly hoping the asking price of €100m (£86m) will make both clubs give up and stop their interest in Insigne.

BkiUa5A4ubnjorNy2s2N | Home>What Can Drones Do?
What Can Drones Do?
Drones are quickly becoming more popular and more ubiquitous. What entered the public consciousness as a tool in the War on Terror has expanded its utility to law enforcement, research, filmmaking, recreation and even delivery.
Earlier this month, the FAA proposed new rules for unmanned aviation systems or UAS's (the technical wording for drones), which would allow anyone at least 17 years old to operate a drone, so long as they pass an aeronautical knowledge test and get a certificate from the FAA.
The rules are in their public comment phase now, but if the FAA adopts them, you could fly a 55-pound helicopter at 100 miles per hour 500 feet in the air with a process similar to getting a driver's license.
The new rules greatly increase accessibility to UAS certificates and, as more people get access to drones, the question becomes "What can we do with them?"
Wake Forest University biologists have used them to survey forests and coal ash spills. The same group of researchers is currently using their drones to study how climate change affects Peruvian forests.
But drones offer much more than simply mapping changes in the land and environment. That is why researchers from RTI International and NC State University have partnered to explore the applications of drones in other fields of science, including social science, and to direct future researchers how to use drones effectively and responsibly.
The group, led by RTI's Joseph D. Eyerman, PhD, recently began research flights in an FAA-approved area northwest of Raleigh using a small winged drone.
One of the chief objectives of the collaboration is determining how to provide better data for surveys of developing countries. These surveys cover everything from numbers of people per home to access to clean water, the purpose being to better inform aid and development efforts.
Many of these surveys, however, rely on satellite images, especially when the locations in question are difficult to get to. But as anyone who uses Google Maps knows, satellite images often only show a rooftop. It can be difficult to get an idea of how many people live in a building or if that building is even occupied at all.
Drones may be able to help meet the need for more accurate data. Flying a drone a few hundred feet overhead and taking a series of pictures at least gives researchers some general figures like 100 or so people may live in one building while the one next door is abandoned or lots of people tend to go to this one building on Sunday morning so it might be a church.
The actual data they get is fairly general, as in they have no idea what one individual's habits may be, but the general living arrangements of a town are extremely valuable.
Take epidemics, for example. This kind of data about where people generally congregate can help public health officials not only trace back how a disease has spread, but also where it is likely to go next based on where it has popped up already.
The same logic applies to toxic exposures. If public health officials see many exposures, they could quickly isolate the cause, so long as the exposed patients tell them where they live (the drones can't do that). An official could reference the data and determine that all the patients got water from the same place or people on their block all tend to shop at the same store so maybe there is something wrong with the food.
Even outside of residential areas, the researchers are investigating how useful drones may be for agricultural research, search and rescue and a number of other situations.
Another very important aspect to Eyerman's research is public concern over these research drones, and getting a sense for what people are and are not comfortable with. According to a 2014 Pew poll, 59% of Americans believe that advances in science and technology will lead to a better future but 63% believe that allowing personal and commercial drones into US airspace would be a change for the worse. The RTI and NC State researchers are looking into ways to balance these popular perceptions.
The end goal of all the test flights and discussions about what uses of drones people feel comfortable with is a series of recommended research methods. Down the road, when a scientist wants to use drones to investigate the population dynamics of a flu outbreak, for example, instead of writing his experimental methods from scratch, he could look at Eyerman's work and have an idea how to not only use his research drones effectively to gather the data he needs but also ethically and responsibly to ensure people are comfortable with the work.
New technology always brings with it new possibilities and concerns, and drones are no different. Learning how to properly use technology can often be just as important to a scientist as the data he or she gets by using it. Eyerman's research could, in time, inform thousands of studies with drones, done both effectively and responsibly.

to become one of only a few players born outside Spain to have appeared for their national team.
He played four World Cup qualifying matches in 1957, but the team failed to qualify for the 1958 World Cup.
Along with Francisco Gento and José María Zárraga, he was one of only three players to play a part in all five victories, scoring goals in each of the five finals.
Di Stéfano played international football mostly for Spain after moving to Madrid, but he also played for Argentina and Colombia.
Di Stéfano, nicknamed "Saeta rubia" ("Blond Arrow"), He is currently the sixth highest scorer in the history of Spain's top division, and Real Madrid's third highest league goalscorer of all time, with 216 goals in 282 league matches between 19.
In a bizarre publicity stunt at the premiere, kidnapper Paul del Rio, now a famous artist, and Di Stefano were brought together for the first time since the abduction, 42 years before.He began his career at Argentina's River Plate aged 17, in 1943.For the 1946 season he was loaned to Club Atlético Huracán, but he returned to River in 1947.In 1961, Di Stéfano (36) who had already won 5 European Cups, helped Spain qualify for the World Cup of 1962.A muscular injury just before the competition prevented him from playing in the finals. On the night of 24 August 1963, the Venezuelan revolutionary group Armed Forces of National Liberation (FALN), kidnapped Alfredo Di Stéfano at gunpoint from the Potomac Hotel in Caracas while his team, Real Madrid, were on a pre-season tour of South America.

BkiUdW7xK6nrxpQc1YrD | very, very nice! the pics are pretty and pink. I like a neat desk, but at the other side of the room (also very small–our desks are pushed together), sits my husband's desk. something could be buried in there for all I know and it'd never be found and nothing I can do about it.
Your desk and writing space looks lovely, I'm very jealous. I've just sent my next book to my editor, so I think a desk makeover would be a perfect distraction to stop me pacing around!
I nice improvement and it looks like a great space to write at.
Really, I'm impressed with the clean-up desk nirvana. I'm an inveterate slob, but even I can appreciate how nice things look when you make an effort. I just never find the time to do so. I will feel slightly guilty about how easy it is for me to go to a Michaels store though. I live about five miles or less away from one.
I love it! Feeling inspired to re-vamp my own desk now!
So cute! What a sneaky way to get US based stuff! Smart! I choose blue over pink, but I got lucky and my landlord happened to paint my studio a beautiful pale pale blue/turquoise.I think a typewriter would be so much fun! Have you actually used it?
Looks lovely! Having a space you like is so important to writing, I think. I'm a bit like you in that if it's not quite right I must invest a bit of time (read "procrastinate") to get it in order before I begin. At the moment I write with my laptop on my knees, but the rest of the room has to be neat! Enjoy your beautiful new space. We look forward to reading the results!
Being overseas, I've also had to us MYUS from time to time. It helped save money when I shipped my computer, but they are usually too expensive. Now I use Amazon Global, iherb, and Vitacost to get most of my stuff because the shipping is usually cheaper.
There is no greater happiness than a desk as you want it. Period.
Very pretty, and inspiring. I'm in the beginning stages of cleaning off my IKEA desk (read:throwing out tons of magazines). Your desk has given me a few ideas. Well Done!
What a lovely place to work, Catherine! I love the sentiment in the typewriter almost as much as the little typewriter pillow. There is something inspiring about having a pleasant place to work.
Catherine, I love it. I can't work if my desk is a mess and your pretty new one is making my organisation fairy do backflips of joy.
Nice colour scheme! Definitely good room decor inspiration for me! | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUcBfxK0zjCxN_sGfT | Capitalism is a system based on trust and mutually beneficial trade. You trade time and productivity to your employer for money. You trade that money with a business for a product you want. The money you trade has no real value unless you and the person you are trading with agree that it has value. The money itself is either a piece of metal, a piece of paper with a design on it, a number in a computer, or a signature promising to pay.
Since capitalism is based on mutual benefit and trust, it is a system that is incompatible with violence. A trade implies non-violence. If someone doesn't like the offer you make to them, you don't get to force them to accept it; you either have to make a better offer or you don't make a trade at all.
How many wars were started by corporations? How many were started by governments? It's no contest; government wins hands down. Governments have the threat of force behind many of their actions. Corporations cannot initiate force against you without the consent of government. If Starbucks all of the sudden announced they would punish people for not buying their coffee, their sales would collapse and they would go out of business. Capitalism operates in the realm of choice, whereas government operates in the realm of compulsion.
In Canada and the other democracies of the world, we place checks on the power of government. Democracy and capitalism are two sides of the same coin; if a government fails to serve the people they can choose a new government. If a company fails to serve the people, in the form of customers, the people can buy from another company. The common thread between democracy and capitalism is choice, and no other economic system provides the freedom to choose that capitalism does.
This is why capitalism is the most peaceful economic system in the world. It empowers all of us to choose our own path and make our own decisions, and it provides the abundance that allows us to take care of those who need a hand up. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 5 |

samuel matthews
Unsubscribe from samuel matthews?
Steve Forbert (born Samuel Stephen Forbert, December 13, 1954) is an American pop music singer-songwriter. He is best known for his song "Romeo's Tune", which reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1980.
Even though the sleeve of the album Jackrabbit Slim (1979) states that "Romeo's Tune" is "dedicated to the memory of Florence Ballard," the song is not really about the Supremes singer who died in 1976. The song was actually written about a girl from Forbert's home town of Meridian, Mississippi, but was dedicated to Ballard because, as Forbert explains, "That seemed like such bad news to me and such sad news. She wasn't really taken care of by the music business, which is not a new story."
I do not own the copyright to this recording so if it needs to be removed, I will remove it. This video is for entertainment purposes only.

BkiUasXxK2li-LJstkUr | Endangered Endemic Birds Of Madagascar
A bernier's teal.
Madagascar is the fifth largest island in the world, and is found located off of the southeast coast of Africa. It experiences a tropical climate along the coast, temperate inland and arid climate in the south. It has a vast range of biodiversity including several species of birds. Some of the Madagascan biodiversity is threatened by extinction. The Madagascan Fish Eagle and the Madagascan Porchard are the island nation's two most threatened endemic birds.
Madagascan Pochard (Aythya innotata)
The Madagascan Pochard is a medium-sized bird. The male is chestnut brown with brown flanks and a white belly. The under tail is white with a white bar on the wing. It has gray feet, beak, and legs and the eye iris is white. The female bird is dull compared to the male and lacks the white iris. The juvenile resembles the female but its paler brown. It inhabits shallow freshwater lakes and marshes and areas with open waters and dense vegetation. The bird is endemic to Madagascar with a single location of Lake Alaotra. The bird occurs singly or in pairs and sometimes may form flocks. It breeds in September and January around the vegetation sites at the edges of the lake. The female lays 6 to 9 eggs and incubates them for 26 days after which they hatch. The young ducklings are brown above and yellowish beneath and on the face. It dives underwater for aquatic plants and invertebrates which serve as its food. The bird was extinct since 1991 and recently sighted in 2006. It is a critically endangered species according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. The main threat to this bird is the range of environmental changes, agricultural practices, pollution, and siltation. Madagascar declared the rediscovery location of the bird, Lake Alaotra a land of national importance and efforts to conserve the habitat of the birds are underway.
Madagascan Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus vociferous)
The Madagascan fish eagle is the largest raptor in Madagascar. It is dark reddish-brown with whitish cheeks and throat and a white tail. It ranges along the west coast from Morombe to Diego in the north. One population occupies the northwest coast region, and another occupies the inland Antsalova region in its west-central area. It lives in estuaries, marine islands, mangroves, the freshwater lakes, and rivers in the Antsalova region. The bird breeds from May to October and has a maximum clutch size of two, but only one bird per nest survives. Most of the birds practice polyandry where one female mates with more than one male. It exclusively feeds on fish and catches its prey by snatching fish on the water surface. It is also a critically endangered bird on the IUCN Red List. Major threats include habitat degradation and human persecution. Its location is a site of international importance. There is also a Madagascan fish-eagle conservation program in place.
Meller's Duck (Anas melleri)
The bird has a brown plumage with brown flecks and streaks. It has a green patch with white borders on the wings. Its beak is gray, its eyes are dark brown, and its feet are orange-brown. It inhabits freshwater bodies in forested areas. The birds walk in pairs or small groups of up to 12 individuals. They form larger flocks when feeding or roosting. It feeds on freshwater foods including vegetation, seeds, and mollusks. Breeding season ranges from September to April. The female bird lays one egg per day until they reach five to ten. She incubates for 26 to 28 days as her male partner remains nearby. Listed as endangered, the bird faces threats like habitat degradation and loss and hunting pressure. Madagascar breeds the birds in seven protected areas and has enacted legislation inhibiting hunting of the birds.
Bernier's Teal (Annas Bernieri)
Bernier's teal is a small, delicate-looking bird. It has a light reddish-brown plumage with buff colored throats and chin and a pink-grey bill. Its wing has a black patch with white borders. In wet season they inhabit the wetlands, and in dry seasons they occupy shallow water bodies. Other locations include sandbars and mangrove forest edges. It occurs in small groups that feed during the day and night. It feeds on invertebrates and plants in the water. It breeds in the wet season and nests in cavities in trunks of the black mangrove trees. The bird is threatened by conversion of wetlands to agricultural farms in Madagascar. Conservation programs have initiated captive breeding of the species.
Conservation of Madagascar's Avian Biodiversity
Faced with the threats of extinction, Madagascar continues to protect its endemic endangered birds through such efforts as captive breeding, legislation, and declaration of their resident locations as sites of national importance. Also, it restricts the international trading of the endangered species under Appendix two of the conservation programs. Among the endangered birds of Madagascar are Van Dam's Vanga Bird (xenopirostris damii), the Slender-Billed Flufftail (sarothrra watersi), and the Sakalava Rail (Amaurornis olivieri)

BkiUdvPxaKPQokFdcGoi | New Poll: No One in Touch With Concerns of American People
April 25, 2017 Leave a commentnewsBy John Zogby
On November 8, 2016, Hillary Clinton won the national popular vote and Donald Trump won the Presidency. Today, five months later, no one is winning anything at all. A new Washington Post/ABC News Poll shows that President Trump has the lowest approval rating of any President ever in the first 100 Days in office – 42%, with 53% disapproving (also a record). A simultaneous NBC News/Wall St. Journal poll pegs the new President at 40% approval, 54% disapproval. Gallup's is pretty much the same – his Real Clear Politics average is barely at 42%.
Clearly the President has not taken advantage of his honeymoon, having lost 5 percentage points in support from his election. He also has nowhere close to a mandate on the specifics of much of his program. Only 37% support his "major changes in government spending", while a solid 56% oppose him. While 53% consider him to be a strong leader (to 45% who do not!), only 43% say that this Commander-in-Chief can be "trusted in a crisis". A majority (52%) feel he cannot be trusted in a major crisis. He does receive great marks for "pressuring companies to keep jobs in the US" (73%) and 96% of those who said they voted for him last year continue to feel it was "the right thing to do". Only 2% of this group says they have any regrets supporting him.
But most ominous of all: nearly three in five (58%) say that their new President is "in not touch with the concerns of most people", which include 20% of his own Republicans and 59% of independents – a group who supported his run. And only 37% feel Mr. Trump understands "problems of people like you" – 61% say he does not. A man who was elected with a low sense of trust seems to be maintaining that sentiment.
But as low as his numbers are – and remember, the first 100 Days are supposed to be a universally-accepted grace period for Presidents – he is actually doing better than his Beltway colleagues. Only 32% in the poll say that the Republican Party is in "touch with the concerns of most people" and 62% say it is not. This number includes 30% of self-described Republicans and 68% of independents.
So throw the bums out? Well, you have to consider the other bums first. Two in three (67%) feel that the Democratic Party are out of touch with the concerns of most people – with only 28% saying they are in touch. Only a slim majority of Democrats (just 52%) claim that their own party can identify with most people and 44% feel the party is out of touch. Even worse for a party trying (I suppose!) to find its footing after a humiliating loss, 75% of independents say the Democrats are out of touch.
What can we make of all of this? First, both parties have achieved parity in distrust and inside the Beltway neither side gets it. GOP members of Congress hold town meetings and complain that the deck is stacked against them because the halls are loaded with Democrats. In 2010, Democrats complained about the same problem. Who knew that Congressional districts were supposed to include voters from both parties?
Second, it looks like presidential candidates should not be making bold promises any more. They cannot get any past their opposing parties in this milieu and there are opposition caucuses within their own party who oppose much of their agenda as well.
And finally, this is not a national malaise among the American people. Voters keep voting for change and get obstruction. They are speaking up again very clearly: a pox on everyone. Happy 100 Days, Mr. Trump.

BkiUdrg25V5hegR8Y_bW | Believe it or not, podcasts actually make for some pretty good content for film and TV adaptations. A lot of them are concept-driven, and it's usually just a matter of finding a way to get that concept across in a different medium. Perhaps the most famous example of this is Lore, a podcast turned into an Amazon original series. But that's not to say adaptations need to be restricted to nonfiction content.
There is one podcast in particular, The Black Tapes, that is set to be adapted into an NBC series, as reported by Deadline. This adaptation will come from Emerald City co-creator Matthew Arnold, and it will be executive produced by him alongside podcast creators Paul Bae and Terry Miles.
The podcast itself is fictional, but its format is very much in the style of nonfiction podcasts like Serial, which follow an unraveling mystery. Not only is the story fictional, but the situations being investigated are of the paranormal type.
Sounds pretty interesting, but I'm mostly intrigued to see what kind of style they'll be shooting for. Will it be mockumentary in style or perhaps it will follow how these two create the very podcast we listen to?
There are definitely plenty of possibilities, but what do you think? Let us know your thoughts down below!

BkiUfk04eIZjf-0Dqtcx | Testing with pH strips is only useful if you know how to make them useful to you. pHydrion Vivid strips are a tool and not unlike a thermometer, the reading only gives you information. My heartfelt desire is for you to be able to translate this information into a self-healing experience. Over the years I have seen miracles happen just by following a few simple intuitive guidelines outlined in my Home Test pH Kit.
In this section I am addressing what I believe to be both common and uncommon questions I have been asked over the years. If you do not see your question or are not satisfied with the answers provided I encourage you to call and ask me directly. Specific product information can be found in our store with each individual product.
General Questions and Answers about Deborah, her company, her mission, this site and pH.
A: pH is an acronym for the potential of Hydrogen and is the acid to alkaline ratio existing in all matter or the hydrogen-ion activity in gram equivalents per liter. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14, with zero being acid and fourteen being alkaline. Seven is considered neutral. There are ten points between each number. Example: 6.8 is 20 times more alkaline than 6.6 and 5.8 is 100 times more acid than 6.8. The shorter the range the better for accurate testing.
Q: Why test urine and saliva pH?
A: One picture is worth a thousand words, our strips give you a visual picture of how your overall lifestyle, food and beverage choices impact your overall health. When your body has an over abundance of acids (toxins) the pH of urine and saliva will reflect that condition. To test your blood you need to go to your doctor and request a pH blood test. Testing urine and saliva is immediate inexpensive and can be an excellent learning tool for making dietary choices.
Q: What is the range of a normal pH reading?
A: Urine and saliva should be neutral and test between 6.8 and 7.2. My book the Home Test pH Kit gives in complete detail, how pH will fluctuate throughout a 24 hour period. You can also see an example on a graph we have posted on this site.
Q: When is the best time to test?
A: I recommend testing throughout the day for the first week or two. Keep in mind this is a learning tool, in the beginning you will need to see what is affecting the natural pH fluctuations. Both urine and saliva should be checked first thing in the morning upon arising. Check urine a second time before you eat breakfast and again after breakfast. You may then check saliva after each meal throughout the day. The pH reading will help you understand better how to make changes. Once you feel you know how to balance you may limit testing to urine first thing in the morning and saliva when you are unsure of the alkalizing ability of a meal. This is explained in detail in the Home Test pH Kit book which is part of the full kit package.
Q: Why test urine and saliva and not the blood?
A: Your blood pH should always be within a range of 7.35 and 7.45, slightly alkaline, and you would need a doctor to find that out. The purpose of testing urine and saliva with pH strips is not only easy, economical and immediate, but it lets you know if your body is dealing with too many acids which can in time, effect your blood and health.
Q: Will these pH strips test other solutions such as water?
A: These pH strips are meant for testing buffered solutions such as urine and saliva only. A buffer is any substance contained in an aqueous solution that will change the pH value (in this case minerals and toxins). Water is considered an unbuffered solution. We also offer the Water Home Test pH Kit if you wish to test your water supply.
Q: Can you ever be too alkaline?
A: In a word... yes. This condition is called alkalosis. If your first reading in the morning is 7.6 or higher your body is telling you that your acid condition is causing your body to dump ammonia (high alkaline reserves in the form of minerals from bones, teeth and tissue) to correct the condition and protect the blood pH of 7.35-7.45. Our body is designed to do this as a once in a while mechanism, too often can deplete organs and tissue. However, your saliva pH can go as high as 9.0 after a highly alkaline meal, this is desirable as long as it goes back to the neutral range within two to three hours of the meal. This is explained in greater detail in the Home Test pH Kit book.
Q: Can I eat too many alkaline foods?
A: I don't think so. Since both being too acid and being too alkaline are caused by too many acids in the system, the only way to correct each concern is to introduce more alkalinity. The best natural method is to eat more alkalizing foods and less highly acid-forming foods. This is explained in detail in the Home Test pH Kit book. As always let pH testing be the judge. This is about balancing acids and buffers. You will know you have done that when urine and saliva are in the 6.8 to 7.2 range.
Q: What is the pH of my blood and other body systems?
A: Each body system will have a different pH range in order to do their specific job. Blood and liver pH is 7.35-7.45, adult skin 4.5-6.0 (a child's skin will be neutral 7.0), stomach 1.0-2.0 (which explains why acid reflux hurts), urine and saliva 6.8-7.2.
Q: Deborah tell me about yourself and your mission.
A: I started my awakening 20 years ago when I had to heal my sick child and my sick body. I consider myself a well read lay-person with plenty of real life experience. As a rule I can usually empathize with a people simply because I have been there and done that. I have lost a father to cancer and a mother to Alzheimer's. I know the suffering those diseases can bring. I also know the story can change if you want it to. As I have always told my children—I'm not that smart, I've just already made the same mistake. I love what I do and I have a wealth of learned knowledge to share. I have been writing about natural health and teaching pH for fifteen years. My mission has always been to heal people and the planet one bite of food at a time. For more go to About Us.
Q: Why don't you have your own label on products?
A: It has become very popular to put private labels on vitamins and minerals. I have chosen not to. My area of expertise is food that balances the body, not chemistry or formulating supplements. I want to be able to offer you the best products available. If I invest in a product with my label and something better comes along, it would not be in my best interest to offer you the better product. Without a private label you are always assured I am suggesting the best products available at the time. I want you to be sold on health, not my label.
Q: Who is NewPage Productions, Inc.?
A: Deborah started NewPage Productions, Inc., in 1996 to self publish her first book The Feel Good Food Guide.

Q: Where and how does a person begin balancing acid/alkaline levels in the body?
A: Begin by gathering information. The Home Test pH Kit is the best place to start. In addition to the basic kit we offer many very helpful how-to and cook books along with green foods powders, cleanses... take a look at our selection and see if anything speaks to you. Don't stop there, there is a plethora of information on the internet. Use your favorite search engine and read the wealth of information offered on the internet. Knowledge will set you free.
Q: How do we compare to plastic double color strips?
A: Great question, I love the opportunity to answer this one. First of all our strips are manufactured right here in the USA by a medical grade laboratory who has been a pioneer in the field of pH for over 75 years. These pHydrion Vivid strips are the same high quality used by hospitals and doctors. Having said that; they are accurate to within two tenths of a point, they are biodegradable, non toxic and immediate. No bottles to fiddle with, no plastic to dispose of and no confusing double color test. Plus you are in control of how much you tear off of the dispenser and use. We are the best value with an average of 120 accurate uses per kit. Compact enough to fit into a small pocket or purse. Easy as tear, use, read, flush and done.
Q: Where is the best source to find recommendations for acid/alkaline foods?
A: Home Test pH Kit. It's all there... really. And this website is loaded with ideas and products to make a positive and healthy difference in your life.
Q: Deborah what kind of quality can be expected from pHydrion Vivid test strips?
A: I could have chosen any pH strips to match-up with my book, after doing the research the quality of our pHydrion Vivid was unsurpassed. These strips have the narrowest and most accurate range on the market, our pH strips are manufactured right here in the USA by a medical grade laboratory. A pioneer in the field of pH for over 75 years, these pHydrion Vivid strips are the same high quality used by hospitals and doctors. Having said that; they are accurate to within two tenths of a point, they are biodegradable, non toxic and immediate.
Q: Will checking my pH replace seeing a good healthcare professional?
A: Never. Keep in mind this is a tool for your daily health maintenance. If diet alone is not making a difference in your overall wellbeing I encourage you to get help from a trained healthcare professional. If you are experiencing a health crisis go to the nearest emergency room or dial 911.
Q: How do I prepare the dispenser for easy use?
A: Before you begin, dry and remove all lotion and oils from your hands. Find the horizontal seam across the middle of the clear plastic dispenser. With one hand on either side of the seam gently wiggle back and forth while firmly pulling apart. Once open remove the test material wrapped in foil. Remove the foil and discard. Find the start of the pH paper roll, being careful not to over handle the test material. The paper will be held in place with a dot of glue, break the seal and drop back into the plastic dispenser. Feed the end of the roll through the serrated side of the dispenser. Make sure the color chart is in front of the roll. Snap the top back on the dispenser. You are now ready to tear off any amount of test material desired.
Q: When I started a new roll it split into two one sided pieces, should it have done that?
A: It is the same principal as two ply toilet tissue. The yellow color should be on both sides of the test material. If the paper starts to split, go back to the glue dot and loosen the bottom half of the paper. Tear off and discard the damaged part of the roll that split. Then feed the paper through the serrated part of the dispenser and follow directions for use.
Q: How many uses are in a roll?
A: The roll is 15 feet or 180 inches long. The amount of uses per roll is up to you. I like to use a 2 inch piece for urine testing and a one inch piece for saliva. However, you may use pieces as long or as short as you are comfortable using. If torn into one-and-one-half inch pieces you should get 120 tests.
Q: Do these test strips expire?
A: If unopened there is no expiration date. I have tested unopened rolls of pH strips six years old and had them work perfectly. As long as the test material is wrapped in foil unopened in the plastic dispenser and kept out of direct sunlight at room temperature the roll should be good for an indefinite amount of time. Once opened, if cared for properly, the lab's recommendations are to use within three years. However, I have successfully used opened rolls way beyond the three year time limit.
Q: How should I care for the testing material?
A: The clear plastic dispenser not only is handy, but it helps protect the pH test material from moisture and oils. Excessive moisture, heat and sunlight could damage the sensitive medical grade dies used to make pHydrion Vivid. Common sense goes a long way when caring for the roll of pH paper. Keep out of direct sunlight, always keep sealed inside of the plastic dispenser. Never allow the roll to get wet or keep in a moist place. With the proper care your test material will last and perform beautifully for a very long time.
Q: How do you use the pH testing strips?
1. Quickly pass the pH strip through the urine stream. Do not "wash" the ink off the paper.
2. Shake off any excess fluid.
3. Immediately match to the color chart provided.
4. The chemical reaction of your urine with the dies used is immediate. Do not allow to dry.
5. Do not reuse, flush strip once you have determined your reading.
1. Gather saliva in your mouth and then swallow, repeat.
2. To test, gather fresh saliva in your mouth a third time, allow it to pool under your tongue.
3. Dip test material in pool of saliva, have as little contact with tongue and lips as possible.
4. Immediately match to the color chart provided.
5. Do not reuse, discard strip once you have determined your reading.
Q: What if I am not getting an exact match to the color chart?
A: This is not uncommon. It can mean several things, it may be a color or pH value between ranges. For example; you may be testing at 6.5 in between the 6.4 and 6.6 provided on the color chart. If you are extremely acid the paper may bleach the test material white or if high alkaline the color may go purple-black. Keep in mind the total pH range is from 0 to 14 with 10 points in between each number. The range in our kit has been chosen for testing urine or saliva and is in two-tenths increments, the shortest and most accurate range on the retail market.
If the pH strip turns a grey or a muddy color that may be an indication that your body is not utilizing minerals to optimum capacity. Taking a good trace mineral product or eating some raw leafy green foods should help remineralize your system.
Q: What if my strip doesn't change color, does this mean the strip is defective?
A: No. It means you are testing just below the 5.5 pH value.
Q: How do I test to see if the strips are still good?
A: Add water to two glasses. Put a pinch of baking soda in one and a little vinegar in the other. Following the directions, dip a fresh test strip in each glass. The baking soda should turn the strip a deep blue and the vinegar should bleach the other strip white. This is what it's supposed to do, and means it's working.
Q: My urine and saliva tests taken at the same time don't match, what does it mean?
A: Often when a person is not pH balanced this often will happen. It may take some lifestyle changes and different food choices to get body systems in sync.
Q: Which test is more accurate, urine or saliva?
A: Both are of value. Urine is metabolic, and saliva is reactive. In other words urine better defines the overall chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life. Saliva more or less is reacting in response to a situation rather than creating or controlling it. We test urine to see how are body is handling long term buffers and stressors and we test saliva to better make corrections. Testing saliva after a meal will tell you on the spot if your food choices were acid-forming or alkaline-forming. This takes the guess work out of what is causing dis-ease.
Q: What if the test is above the 7.6 range does this mean I need more acidic foods and beverages?
A: Acid foods do not correct the situation. Whether you test very acid or very alkaline the remedy is always the same more alkalizing foods, beverages, thoughts and behaviors. Alkalosis is your body dumping alkaline reserves to protect the blood's pH balance. Your body gets these buffers from the only place it can when you are not supplying it with what it needs—it borrows from your bones, teeth, organs and tissues. Minerals such as calcium and magnesium are what balance your body not more acid foods. If you are testing urine and continue to test in the 7.6-8.0 range first thing in the morning, seek the help of a qualified health care professional. If you are testing in this range after an alkalizing green meal a high alkaline reading is expected. Think about it, if you continued to borrow from your savings account without ever making a deposit, how long before you would have a zero balance?
A: I don't think so. Since both being too acid and being too alkaline are caused by too many acids in the system, the only way to correct each concern is to introduce more alkalinity. The best natural method is to eat more alkalizing foods and less highly acid-forming foods. This is explained in detail in the Home Test pH Kit book. As always let pH testing be the judge.
Q: Do these strips work with water or any other foods or chemicals?
A: No. They are intended for buffered solutions. A buffered solution is an aqueous solution such as water containing minerals. Minerals are what make us alkaline or a lack of minerals make us acid. For example; distilled water will be acid (5.2) because it is void of minerals (buffers).
Q: When should I be testing and how often?
Q: If you could only buy one product what would it be?
A: If you don't already have a Home Test pH Kit that would be the one. My favorite product after that is Macro Greens™, the 30 ounce size is the best value, but any size to start would be good.
Q: Why don't you offer vitamins and minerals?
A: There are so many wonderful sites discounting vitamins and minerals I could never compete. Plus, because we are each biochemically unique, unless you know your specific deficiencies, supplements could do more harm than good. Always get tested before starting a vitamin and mineral regime. I believe in starting with the correct diet and work from there.
Q: Why don't you offer pH drops?
A: When I find drops that actually work and are an affordable option, I will offer them.
A: The best and most affordable way to alkalize your body is to squeeze a little fresh lemon juice into a glass of pure water and drink. A lemon is loaded with alkalizing minerals and virtually no sugar making it highly alkaline-forming (natures pH drops). If you are concerned about the acid eroding tooth enamel use a straw and bypass you teeth. Rinsing your mouth with plain water after you drink will also wash away the acid from the undigested lemon.
Q: How did you choose your product line?
A: First I try a product, if it lives up to the claims, I offer it to you.
Q: How to use a salt bar.
A: Never rub against your skin. Once wet, the salt bar becomes sharp and can cut your skin. The way to get the most benefit from a salt bar is to wet the bar and using a clean wash cloth or your hands rub the salt bar transfering the salt to the cloth or your hands. Then use the wash cloth or your hands to smooth the salt onto your body. Rinse. It's amazing how the minerals smooth and soothe skin. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 3 |

BkiUe-fxK4tBVgEFWxjH | The Universe is Made of Stories.
Why there is no greater power on earth to human life.

The Storytelling Animal by Jonathan Gottschall attests to this, along with many other books and essays out there.
Our lives are held up, directed, pulled along, filled with meaning, and inspired by stories.
We tell ourselves stories in order to live. To add a sense of meaning and understand our lives. To communicate with our fellow humans, both face-to-face, and across cities, continents, and oceans. We tell and seek out stories to soothe ourselves, as well as to motivate and inspire.
Consider how deeply stories burrow themselves into our hearts, minds, daily interactions, and life at large, as illustrated by the following.
When a loved one asks, "how was your day?" Most of the time, we tell them some sort of story.
When we go on a date, we are telling stories about ourselves to another.
When we attend a job interview, we are asked questions and ultimately, are sharing mini-stories with our interviewer.
When we go speak with a therapist or counselor, we sum up various moments and experiences from our life in the form of stories.
When someone asks, "how was your vacation? What did you do?" You respond by sharing with them…you guessed it, stories.
In reading a book, an essay, a poem, even a resume, you are reading a story (in one sense or another).
When two people get into a fight and they each carry with them, their own personal narrative and perspective of what happened, both of these experiences and recollections are essentially stories.
Stories are memory aids, instruction manuals, and moral compasses. They are entertainment at its finest, life lessons, cautionary tales, and exercises in empathy and shared understanding. Stories are doors slightly ajar, and open windows with a swatch of a scene from outside beckoning.
Our lives revolve around story.
Even as the body goes to sleep at night, our minds fill with imagined scenes and narratives.
Reading the stories of others connects us with one another. Tales of fellow human experience offer us alternate ways of considering the world, potential other ways of thinking and being. Stories can ignite empathy and compassion within our hearts, dropping us into the perspective and experience of another, one we likely will never have the chance to live ourselves. Fiction does all of this too since most fiction is based on themes of human experience and truth.
We all have things to teach one another.
We all have much to learn from one another.
The key is listening close. Being open to these lessons, experiences, and perspectives of another. Maintaining a hunger and interest for those lessons on offering.
This is why, in a way, book reviews and the opinions of critics are essentially a moot point. Because for every single piece of art produced, whether a novel, poem, painting, photography expose, song, memoir, you name it, someone is going to hate it. All while others will find meaning in and love it.
For quite literally every single piece of art, even those claimed as being "the best" (Pulitzer Prize winners, New York Times bestsellers, National Book Award winners, you get the idea), there are still long lists of people who hated these stories. Who found them rife with flaws and repellant content.
It often seems as though today, critics and the rest of us everyday citizens are chomping at the bit to want to critique, review, and rip apart every story we read. Yeah, it was decent, but…(queue long list of gripes with how the story was flawed, offensive, and possibly even failed miserably).
Instead, why not read a story with a more open heart and mind? With less of an opinionated, critical eye, and instead, one hungry for the insights and life lessons on offer. Because within every single story, there are at least a few treasures for the taking.
Understand that every single piece of art will be flawed. That pointing this out is remarking on the obvious and unavoidable.
Then decide instead, to take from each story the gems offered up which you might then integrate into your own life, perspectives, and heart. Feel free to discard the rest.
The stories of others can lead to immense growth and a widening of understanding within each of us (if we are so interested in and open to it).
The news and media tell us (high curated and carefully crafted) stories, and in doing so, shape how we see the world, our society and culture, and as a result, influence our choices and behaviors.
Each friendship throughout our life, every romantic relationship we've experienced, the familial relationships we have which matter to us (sibling, parent, you name it), each of these is a story.
We, as humans, need stories. Our lives hinge on them.
Stories teach us how to relate to others, how to live.
They introduce in our minds, places we might never have known to exist.
They offer up life paths we might never have considered possible.
They help us to ponder our relationships with others in a new light.
Stories can humble us. They show us where we were wrong. They can shine a light on and illuminate the ways in which we might be going about something in a harmful or hurtful way. They offer up new lessons for chewing on.
Stories help guide our lives and our hearts.
They offer up new knowledge, inspiration, ideas, emotional solace, and guidance for the taking.
The fastest way to a deep connection with others, as well as much growth and learning in your own life?
Maintain a genuine, sustained, powerful interest in books, as well as the stories of other people you meet.
For humans, there is no greater power on this earth than that which stories offer us.
What are we but our stories?
