* Message listener container that uses the plain JMS client API's
* <code>MessageConsumer.setMessageListener()</code> method to
* create concurrent MessageConsumers for the specified listeners.
*
* <p><b>NOTE:</b> This class requires a JMS 1.1+ provider, because it builds on
* the domain-independent API. <b>Use the {@link SimpleMessageListenerContainer102}
* subclass for a JMS 1.0.2 provider, e.g. when running on a J2EE 1.3 server.</b>
*
* <p>This is the simplest form of a message listener container.
* It creates a fixed number of JMS Sessions to invoke the listener,
* not allowing for dynamic adaptation to runtime demands. Its main
* advantage is its low level of complexity and the minimum requirements
* on the JMS provider: Not even the ServerSessionPool facility is required.
*
* <p>See the {@link AbstractMessageListenerContainer} javadoc for details
* on acknowledge modes and transaction options.
*
* <p>For a different style of MessageListener handling, through looped
* <code>MessageConsumer.receive()</code> calls that also allow for
* transactional reception of messages (registering them with XA transactions),
* see {@link DefaultMessageListenerContainer}.

BkiUfi025V5jayWgFTh9 | Refrain: Muitos que pelos pecados/ que fazen perden o lume/ guarece Santa Maria/ ca atal é seu costume.
In the city of Évora, a master had a servant who tilled his estate and did everything he asked efficiently and willingly.
One day, when the servant was ploughing with the oxen, he became blind in both eyes.
His companions led him to his master's house.
The master was very sad to see him in that state, and he prayed to Jesus Christ to heal him.
Later, at the year's end, they visited the great church dedicated to the Virgin.
The servant was able to see the candles burning brightly there and vowed he would only eat vegetables that day. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdXg4eIZjgkpX9DJg | All 47 passengers and crew survived a plane's crash landing in a Pacific lagoon Friday morning, wading through waist-deep water to the emergency exits and escaping on local boats that came to the rescue in the Micronesia archipelago.
Passenger Bill Jaynes said the plane came in very low as it was attempting to land at the Chuuk Island airport.
The sequence of events remains unclear. Jaynes said the only scenario he can imagine is that the Air Niugini plane hit the end of the runway and continued into the water. However, the airline said the plane landed short of the runway.
"It's really fortunate that we didn't have any fatalities," said Glenn Harris, a government aviation security inspector for the Federated States of Micronesia.
Harris said the plane left from the Micronesian island of Pohnpei about 435 miles to the east before ending up in the water about 10 a.m.
He said he has yet to see a passenger manifest, but typical passengers would include business people from Micronesia, Papua New Guinea and Australia, as well as some tourists. Chuuk is known for its world-class diving, with dozens of World War II shipwrecks visible in the clear waters.
The airline said it was making all efforts to ensure the ongoing safety of the passengers and to meet their immediate needs. It said it was in touch with embassies, passenger representatives, stakeholders and families of the crew.
Air Niugini is the national airline of Papua New Guinea and has operated since 1973. The airline identified the flight as PX 073 with the registration number P2-PXE. Flight histories show that aircraft has made recent flights to Manila, Sydney and Singapore.
In the "Miracle on the Hudson," both engines on a U.S. Airways jet failed after it struck a flock of geese during takeoff from New York's LaGuardia Airport. Pilots Chesley Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles safely landed their powerless plane on the Hudson River and passengers and crew walked on the wings to be rescued. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdc44dbgg-nPSsVSG | Every corner of this dirty little ball we live on has been mapped and uploaded to the internet. Now it's time to play with it. Life is Magic gives players the chance to team up and take over a fantasy version of the real world, one city at a time.
Once you choose one of the three character classes available in Red Robot Labs' Life is Magic—mage, machinist or monk—the game presents you with a map of your location, only instead of asphalt streets and concrete builds there are trees, dirt paths, inns and shops straight out of a fantasy novel. This is your world transformed.
Depending on where you live, your local map might be peppered with shops and crisscrossed with paths bearing the names of the streets you walk every day. If you live in a more rural area the effect won't be quite as impressive, but that's what zooming out and teleporting is for.
The world map is where the action is. Elemental dungeons dot the landscape, hungry for foolhardy adventurers to brave their depths. Other players appear on the map as well, waiting to be invited into your adventuring party. Up to three players can form an alliance, lending their particular talents in turn-based battles against fierce fantasy foes. Each dungeon level ends with a choice—leave and keep your loot, or delve deeper and chance losing it all to more fearsome beasts?
Players gain levels as they adventure, powering up towards the ultimate goal—conquering the tower that represents a major city. No one in my area has grown powerful enough to take Atlanta yet. I ventured into the tower and was slain in a single round. More grinding is in order. Luckily this is a persistent alternate world, and the tower will still be there when I am ready.
...but when I get home, this is what I see.
The downside to living in a sparsely-populated area is there is only one shop in town to influence—The Coca-Cola Employees Federal Credit Union (yes, real-world names on fantasy places). The upside? I own that credit union. It's all mine. Feel free to grab the game and try to take it from me. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdbY5ixsDMQX0h848 | Maria Farinha Filmes wants to make a difference by changing the way that people see the world. They want to communicate stories through audiovisual media, that inspire positive impact. They works primarily on social and environmental films. For example, their film Way Beyond Weight (2012) deals with childhood obesity. This issue afflicts over 30% of the infant population in Brazil. The film was made available online and reached over one million viewers, besides being utilized to coach Brazilian health and educational professionals. Maria Farinha Filmes also has other projects that involve research in children play, Brazilian culture, and activism that are being produced for TV, cinema and the Internet.
Audiovisual content has shown itself to be a tool of extreme efficiency that possesses great potential power for transformation. Unfortunately, themes necessary to improve humanity are generally treated with less care than commercially driven ones. Maria Farinha explores those themes while always searching for quality and excellence. Also, in the making of Maria Farinha's films, sets are always functioning with social and environmental concerns in mind. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUc-TxK3YB9i3RKtd2 | William Schwenck Gilbert, Kt. (18 de novembro de 1836, Londres - 29 de maio de 1911, Londres) foi um dramaturgo, poeta, libretista e ilustrador do Reino Unido, mais conhecido por sua colaboração com o compositor Arthur Sullivan, que produziu quatorze óperas cômicas. Os mais famosos deles incluem HMS Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance e uma das obras mais executadas na história do teatro musical, The Mikado. A popularidade dessas obras foi sustentada por mais de um século por apresentações durante todo o ano, na Grã-Bretanha e no exterior, pela companhia de repertório que Gilbert, Sullivan e seu produtor Richard D'Oyly Carte fundaram, a D'Oyly Carte Opera Company. Essas óperas do Savoy ainda são frequentemente apresentadas no mundo de língua inglesa e além.
A produção criativa de Gilbert incluiu mais de 75 peças e libretos e vários contos, poemas e letras, tanto cômicas quanto sérias. Após breves carreiras como escrivão do governo e advogado, Gilbert começou a se concentrar, na década de 1860, em escrever versos leves, incluindo Bab Ballads, contos, críticas de teatro e ilustrações, muitas vezes para a revista Fun. Ele também começou a escrever burlescos e suas primeiras peças cômicas, desenvolvendo um estilo absurdo e invertido que mais tarde seria conhecido como seu estilo "às avessas". Ele também desenvolveu um método realista de direção de palco e uma reputação de diretor de teatro estrito. Na década de 1870, Gilbert escreveu 40 peças e libretos, incluindo seu German Reed Entertainments, várias "comédias de fadas" em branco, algumas peças sérias e suas cinco primeiras colaborações com Sullivan: Thespis, Trial by Jury, The Sorcerer, HMS Pinafore e The Pirates of Penzance. Na década de 1880, Gilbert se concentrou nas óperas de Savoy, incluindo Patience, Iolanthe, The Mikado, The Yeomen of the Guard e The Gondoliers.
Em 1890, após essa longa e lucrativa parceria criativa, Gilbert brigou com Sullivan e Carte por causa das despesas no Savoy Theatre; a disputa é conhecida como "querela do tapete". Gilbert ganhou a ação judicial que se seguiu, mas a discussão causou mágoa entre os sócios. Embora Gilbert e Sullivan tenham sido persuadidos a colaborar nas duas últimas óperas, eles não tiveram tanto sucesso quanto as anteriores. Anos depois, Gilbert escreveu várias peças e algumas óperas com outros colaboradores. Ele se aposentou, com sua esposa Lucy e sua pupila, Nancy McIntosh, para uma propriedade rural, Grim's Dyke. Ele foi nomeado cavaleiro em 1907. Gilbert morreu de um ataque cardíaco ao tentar resgatar uma jovem a quem ele estava dando uma aula de natação no lago em sua casa.
As peças de Gilbert inspiraram outros dramaturgos, incluindo Oscar Wilde e George Bernard Shaw, e suas óperas cômicas com Sullivan inspiraram o desenvolvimento posterior do teatro musical americano, influenciando especialmente libretistas e letristas da Broadway. De acordo com The Cambridge History of English and American Literature, a "facilidade lírica de Gilbert e seu domínio da métrica elevou a qualidade poética da ópera cômica a uma posição que nunca havia alcançado antes e não alcançou desde então".

One of the goals is to have a persistent and cool URI not just for the image but regions and other derivatives thereof, so that you can make statements about those regions or derivatives.
Loris ships w/ a simple ID resolver that just takes a slice of a filesystem path and resolves it to a file. This is isolated in resolver.py and is designed to be changed to suit different environments.
Can be native, color, grey or bitonal. Which are available (color or not) is available from info service.
Loris does jpg and png and the moment. The only feature missing from making this a IIIF level impl is that it won't return a jp2. You can define a default in config file, and use content negotiation rather than a file ext as well.
Basically just enough metadata to drive a UI.
Cache is built on the FS mirroring the path in the URI, so each request looks there first. We just use a cron to check that it's not bigger than we want, and clear out LRU files until the size is acceptable. A sample copy of the cron is in the code repo. It could be smarter if you needed it to be.
As expected, will send a 304 if client sends an If-Modified-Since header (and it hasn't been).
IIIF also defines a syntax for the HTTP message body when something goes wrong.
Obviously you get a 4xx/5xx as well.
Not much until last week! Chris Thatcher / OpenSeadragon Just added support for IIIF syntax. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 2 |
BkiUapLxK7kjXIdG8OFY | If you have Windows 7 or Windows 8 on your home PC or on a PC that is not supported by SCLS, you may have noticed a new Windows icon in the system tray next to the date and time. The icon will look like the Windows logo and if you click on it a dialog box will open that introduces Windows 10 and determines if you're eligible for a free upgrade.
If you decide to reserve your free upgrade to Windows 10 it will ask for an email address that they will use to send you a confirmation.
Then after Windows 10 is released, which is on July 29, you will automatically get it downloaded to your device and you will receive notification that it is ready to be installed. While Windows 10 will be available in 7 versions you will only get the comparable version. So if you have Windows 8.1 Home version then you will only be able to upgrade to the Windows 10 Home version.
Some people have reported that after they reserved their copy of Windows 10 that the icon doesn't go away. There are two options to get rid of this icon. The first is to simply hide it and the second is to uninstall Windows Update KB3035583. Microsoft's use of this way to get the word out about Windows 10 has mixed reviews, but hey who doesn't want free software? | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdczxK2li-LJsv1Am | Q: How to handle a Git repository with >100k test files? I am migrating a fairly big project to Git. The project divides in ~30k source code files and ~100k unit test files.
I see two options for the migration:
(1) Put all files into one repository. The huge number of files will make git operations slow (see here). Slow operations will annoy my developers (especially because they work on Windows where Git is slower in general). BTW: File size is no issue for this project.
(2) Put the test files into an own repository with a Git submodule. This will annoy my developers because they always have to perform 2 commits when they fix a bug.
How do you deal with this kind of situation? Is there a third way that I am not seeing?
Thanks!
A: This answer is too late for the original question, but might be of interest for others in similar situations:
Given the amount of files, I'd also suggest a submodule-based approach. However, working with submodules in Git can be cumbersome. One way to mitigate this would be using a DataLad dataset.
DataLad builds up on Git (and git-annex, but having annexed contents or a dataset annex at all is completely optional) and a dataset is always a Git repository. Compared to working with Git only, DataLad datasets and commands have the advantage of recursive operations through dataset hierarchies, though.
Transitioning to a DataLad dataset would thus make working with submodules much easier, while still keeping everything Git repositories, and Git-based workflows valid and functional.
A: I would still recommend solution 2, as submodules are made for this kind of repo structure.
The other approach would be for each developer to specify the folders they need and do a sparse checkout, possible combined with a shallow clone, in order to minimize the size of the local repo.
That way, you are still dealing with only one Git repo, but only using the part of it you actually need.

BkiUf5U5qhDCzlTibowo | Welcome to the start of summer. I hope that your spring was refreshing and that your summer will be even better.
If you haven't already done so, it is time to book that summer cruise vacation.
It recently dawned on me that one of the reasons I love cruising, is the opportunity I get to visit many beautiful beaches in the Caribbean.
I believe that there are many people like me, who love cruising for that reason. I created a webpage to talk about that and to invite like-minded beach lovers to join me on an annual cruise to explore beautiful beaches.
You can learn more about my plan by clicking here.
Carnival Cruise Line has introduced the Carnival EasyPay program to make it easier for cruise lovers to pay for their cruise vacations.
Whenever one books a Carnival cruise at least 90 days prior to the sail date, that person will put a deposit down and then make equal monthly payments over the remaining period of time.
These payments are set up for automatic deduction on a credit or debit card.
Like other popular cruise lines before it, Holland America Line becomes the most recent cruise line to obtain approval to offer cruises to Cuba.
Starting on December 22, 2017, Holland America will make its inaugural voyage to the intriguing island. That sailing will be followed by several others into 2018.
Stops on Holland America's cruises to Cuba will include Havana, Cienfuegos and other popular Caribbean ports of call.
How would you like to experience Carnival Cruise Line's newest and biggest ship - Carnival Vista?
You can this September 17-23, 2017.
Make plans to bring your family aboard for a six night cruise from Miami to Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands; and Cozumel, Mexico.
Review the information and reserve your cabin today. Click here now.
This group cruise is reserved for someone's birthday, but there are extra cabins available for you.
Sail with Royal Caribbean from Port Canaveral to two ports of call in the Bahamas this September 4-8.
Fares on this sailing start at $390 per-person (double occupancy).
Winter is just ending, but how about planning to get away from next winter in February?
If your children are out of school during President's Day week, then this is a great opportunity for you all.
Sail with Carnival Miracle from Tampa, February 17-24, 2018, for 7 glorious days to the Western Caribbean.
Taking a cruise is great for many reasons. One such reason to enjoy your cruise destinations by engaging in a shore excursion.
Each cruise ship has a shore excursion desk, where you review and purchase something to do when you go ashore.
While some ship-offered shore excursions should not be replaced by something else, there are some things that you can do on your own to save money.
If you only want to tour your destination or visit a particular beach, more often than not you will spend less by booking your own shore excursion when you arrive in that particular port of call.
Get off the ship, head to the "gate" and look for "reputable" tour operators who will give you a tour or beach package generally less than what you would pay on the ship.
Note: Take precaution to select a tour operator that offers a good level of trustworthiness. Also, ensure that you're not the only family traveling with that tour operator.
That being said, plan your own shore excursion and save money on your next cruise vacation.
Before listing some cruise deals for September 2017, I must tell you that you may get lucky booking a last minute July or August cruise. Click here for last minute July or August cruise offers!

OPS wins state titles in fast-growing sport of trap and skeet shooting
Donna L. Holman T&D Correspondent
Amid high humidity and overcast skies, youth participants from across the Palmetto State displayed with pride their marksmanship skills of trap and skeet shooting at the South Carolina State High School Clay Target League, SCSHSCTL 2019 State Tournament on Saturday, June 8, at Mid-Carolina Gun Club in Calhoun County.
+40 IN PHOTOS: Orangeburg Prep wins state trap and skeet shooting title
T&D Region high schools joining in the competition were Orangeburg Preparatory Schools and Jefferson Davis Academy.
OP won the state title in both trap and skeet shooting, with JDA finishing second in the skeet competition.
The event was sponsored by Cabela's Outdoor Fund, SCHEELS Sporting Goods, Sportsman's Guide and Walker's, a provider of hearing protection.
Asked why he was spending his Saturday at the range, Cole Creech, a 12-year old rising seventh-grader at JDA had a simple reply.
"I grew up hunting; I've been shooting since I could hold a gun," Creech said. "I enjoy shooting and wanted to be part of a team."
The SCSHSCTL is a member of the USA High School Clay Target League, a division of the non-profit USA Clay Target League. The league is the independent provider of clay target shooting sports as an extracurricular co-ed and adaptive activity for high schools and students in grades 6-12.
"The organization's priorities are safety, fun and marksmanship, in that order," said the current South Carolina league director, Brett Allen, who added that each participant in the high school league must complete a league and state-approved hunter education course.

Justin Gleaton, the OP Shotgun Team head coach, said, "The parents love it because it's a blessing for them to be able to get their kids, who may not otherwise be athletically inclined, involved in a sport that not only gets them out of the house doing something constructive, but also offers gun safety training and scholarship opportunities for careers in outdoor and wildlife avenues."
"I honestly believe that if you teach young people proper gun handling and firearm safety, I don't believe there would be as much gun violence or as many school shootings as there are today," Gleaton said. "When most of us were younger, we learned firearm handling and gun safety from our parents and grandparents who took us hunting. Now because of schedules or lack of time, there just is not as much of that still going on.
"Every time we meet, safety is the number one thing we ingrain in kids' minds. Each shooter participant has to lead a safety meeting during the season. If he or she misses something, the others are quick to point out the mistake."
Gleaton said the OP season start-up meeting is usually held in October.
"When I am out there on the range, it makes me feel calm," said Cora Robb, a 16-year-old member of the OP team. "I know I have the support of my teammates.
"I want to go to college; it has been a dream of mine since I was small and the scholarships offered by the league are a big plus."
T&D REGION SPORTS: OP youth baseball, football camps
Robb also admitted that, with her competitive streak, she wants to be better than her big brother, Daniel.
"Our goal is for the students to have fun in a safe, supportive environment," said Julie Robinson, co-coach at JDA. "As coaches, we can't be out there on the field with them, but they can coach each other. That aspect promotes good sportsmanship and teamwork."
Cooper Gleaton, a recent graduate of OP who has been competing for six years, said, "I'd recommend this sport to anyone because it teaches a lot about gun safety and it's a mental sport; you have to know about angles, wind speed, timing and lead -- how far out you have to be in front of a moving target before you shoot."
Unable to continue as a participant in the high school league, Gleaton, who has been accepted to Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College this fall, says he plans on joining his parents, Justin and Dena Gleaton, as an assistant coach to continue mentoring his younger teammates.
In the inaugural year of the SCSHSCTL, there were only two participating high schools. The number jumped to 12 this year, said Allen. He added that there are other organizations that have clay target leagues, such as SCDNR and the 4H, but this one is 100-percent school sponsored.
"The league continues to be the fastest-growing activity in South Carolina schools," said John Nelson, president of the SCSHSCTL, who is very excited to see the state embrace the sport as it has.
Allen agrees.
"This is an all-inclusive sport that allows boys and girls to compete on the same field with no bench warmers," Allen said. "Everyone gets to participate and has the same opportunities to practice which makes them better marksmen.
"One doesn't need to be a world-class athlete to participate and it's a sport that someone can continue to enjoy after high school and with their family."
Allen pointed out that most high school athletes don't get to participate in their sport after they complete high school.
"Most kids in this neck of the woods love to hunt and fish. It's good practice for dove and duck hunting and it helps in making more responsible gun owners," said Allen, who also serves as the clay target team coach at Conway High School.
As shots are fired at moving clay targets, there's concentration and focus on timing on the faces of not only the active shooter, but that of the team as well. After a competitor has completed his turn on the mark for skeet shooting, where one clay target comes from the shooter's left or right, followed in quick succession by another from the opposite direction, he or she is greeted with high-fives or fist bumps from teammates. Whether the shots are near perfect or near misses, the resounding camaraderie of team support echoes throughout tournament competition.
Nationwide, more than 32,000 students, representing more than 1,000 school-approved teams, participated in the league during the 2018-19 school year.

The photographer and writer went through the grocery store and jotted down every food ingredient they could find—from Acesulfame potassium to xanthan gum. Dwight Eschliman acquired samples of each ingredient in its pure form, arranged them in piles, and took photographs. Steve Ettlinger provided their Code of Federal Regulations numbers, chemical structures, and brief descriptions of how they are used. The photographs are gorgeous. Even though all the ingredients look like piles of salt, their textures and colors are sufficiently different to make this book weirdly fascinating. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

A recent Pac-12 TV Performance Rankings tweet by West Coast College Football caught our eye because of the huge disparity in TV ratings among Pac-12 teams.
The tweet took data from Sports Media Watch to rank each Pac-12 team by TV performance from 2016-2021.

USC, according to the ranking, was the cream of the crop in the conference in terms of TV viewership.
The Trojans had 45 games with more than one million viewers during the measured time span.
The next biggest draws in the conference?
Washington was No. 2, and Oregon was No. 3.
Washington State and Stanford rounded out the Top 5.
UCLA snuck into the top half of the conference in TV ratings at No. 6.
The bottom half of the conference in television ratings were Utah (No. 7), Arizona State (No. 8), Colorado (No. 9), California (No. 10), Arizona (No. 11) and Oregon State (No. 12).
The Beavers had just four games with over one million viewers between 2016-2021, according to the data.
More:Are Pac-12 schools ASU, Arizona a package deal in college conference realignment?
USC and UCLA are in the process of moving to the Big Ten, a move that shocked the conference and most of college football.
Speculation has linked some Pac-12 teams, like Colorado, Utah, ASU and Arizona, to the Big 12, while there has also been chatter surrounding the conference and the ACC.
TV ratings are always important for conferences. How could those ratings impact realignment?
We could see their impact as realignment continues among the conferences, because USC and UCLA's upcoming move to the Big Ten and Texas and Oklahoma's upcoming move to the SEC show that it's not a matter of if conferences continue to change and realign, it's a matter of when.
How soon will the next dominoes fall?

BkiUbx84uzqh_DvIlA4c | After purchasing his partner De Stefani's share of the business known as D&C in 1926, Vittorio Conti continued adding new models to the range using a Della Ferrera 125 two-stroke with bore and stroke of 36 x 60 mm, 3 HP, two-speed gearbox and a maximum speed 70-75 km/h.
Using the same engine the firm built a 1927 lightweight motorcycle named Balloon.
1928 saw the introduction of a motoleggera Baby (for ladies and clergy) and a lightweight motorcycle sidecar combination with the chair on the right.
In 1929 they introduced their KSS Super Sport, again with the reliable Della Ferrera 125cc two-stroke, and in 1930 a JAP SV 175cc Sport was added to the range.
In 1931 the Saetta Azzurra arrived in two versions, Turismo and Extra Lusso, with 3-speed unit-construction OHV Della Ferrera four-stroke engine, Bosch ignition, Gurtner carburetor, Druid forks, expanding brakes front and rear, chain drive and a top speed of over 90 km/h. All models remain in production until 1932 when the depression forced closure on the firm. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUfPY5qhLBlnv5Fr-2 | Think Social Media is Just for Teenagers? Better Think Again!
Currently there are approximately 28 million small businesses in the US. Many of these businesses think they don't need to bother with a social media presence. After all, social media is just for teenagers, right? These statistics might make you think again.
Rethink it: There are probably more users accessing Facebook from mobile devices than you thought. It's worth considering how your content displays on mobile devices and smaller screens before posting it, particularly if your target market is full of mobile users. Of course, make sure to make sharing to social media from mobile more straight forward.
Rethink it: If you've been putting off adding video to your strategy, now's the time to give it a go. You could start small with simple five minutes videos explaining what your company does or introducing your team.
Make sure you share consistently to your LinkedIn company page and profile by for example scheduling your posts.
We all knew social media was popular, but this popular? Apparently it's the most common thing we do online. So next time you find yourself watching Kitten vs. Watermelon videos on Facebook, you can at least console yourself with the fact that the majority of people online right now are doing something similar.
Rethink it: Putting time and effort into your social media strategy clearly makes sense in light of these stats. If you weren't already serious about social media, you might want to give it a bit more of your time now.
Want an Easy, Simple Way to Promote Your Business?
Small business owners are always looking for effective, inexpensive ways to promote their product or service on the internet. One of the most effective methods is plain old email.
Think email is outmoded? Here are some surprising statistcs.
4) For every $1 spent on email marketing, the average return on investment is $44.25.
What's Keeping 52% of Small Businesses Off the Internet.
If 70% of buyers do research on the web before they buy, then why do 52% of Small Businesses lack a website? I believe there are two reasons and one of them is not money.
In my opinion the barriers are time and knowledge.
Most Small Business Owners simply don't have the time to learn how to build and maintain a website in addition to running a successful business.
But, the biggest barrier is knowledge. What I mean here is not knowledge in the usual sense. Rather it's the wall of techno-babble small business owners encounter when they try to learn how to promote their business on the Internet.
Surprisingly, money is not a barrier. The cost to acquire and maintain a website is only $400 to $500 per year tops, if you do it yourself.
Why is Internet Presence Critical?
Why Today's Customer's are Different.
People don't want to be sold. But, they do want to be educated.
So, as a small business owner today, your job is not to sell, it's to educate your potential customer or client.
Using Content Marketing as a tactic in your marketing strategy, you make your potential client or customer aware of who you are. Once they are aware, hopefully they will come to like you and trust you.
People buy from people they know and trust.
Why Conventional Advertising Doesn't Work!
Conventional advertising falls down on two counts. The first is cost. The second, and in my opinion the most important, is the content is fixed. It's the same message over and over. After a while, potential customers just tune you out.
Today's customers want new, evolving information that's relevant to them. The Internet is ideal for this because you can provide a constant flow of changing information at very low cost.
Ten years ago, a website was a novelty. Today it's a necessity.
If you are a Small Business Owner your biggest challenge is acquiring new customers.
There are customers out there who want to do business with you, but they don't know who you are.
Don't let the Techno-Babble get in the way. There are resources available explaining this process in plain English.
Invest the time, do the research, get on the Internet, and your business will thrive.
Small businesses need metrics to determine how well they are doing. The question is which ones really matter. This answer may surprise you. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUa4LxK6nrxl9bLQGd | Written by Cathy Cassata on July 7, 2020 — Fact checked by Dana K. Cassell
When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, Sherry Richards (pictured right) was in need of physical, occupational, and speech therapy to help her recover from a severe stroke. Telehealth services provided her with access to the critical care she required while stay-at-home orders were in place. Image via Sherry Richards
In a patient survey, 42 percent of Americans reported using telehealth services since the pandemic first began.
For one woman undergoing therapy for a stroke, telehealth kept her on track.
Around half of Americans say that if they were to use telehealth services post COVID-19, being able to see or speak with a healthcare professional of their choice would be most important.
All data and statistics are based on publicly available data at the time of publication. Some information may be out of date. Visit our coronavirus hub and follow our live updates page for the most recent information on the COVID-19 pandemic.
In July 2019, 73-year-old Sherry Richards had a severe stroke caused by infusion therapy for dermatomyositis, an autoimmune condition that causes skin changes and muscle weakness.
She immediately underwent a combination of physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and had to learn how to walk and talk again.
"Paralysis to the right side caused spasticity in my arm and hand, so the therapy was crucial in helping me continue to recover and strengthen movement," Richards told Healthline.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, all in-person and in-home therapy came to a halt. Rather than fall behind on her care plan, Richards relied on telehealth to continue modified therapy at home.
Her family stepped in and worked with her so that she wouldn't lose ground in her recovery.
"Even missing a week could mean muscle atrophy and weakness, so we knew how critical it was to keep up with her therapy as best as we could," her daughter Kim Donald, told Healthline.
However, they couldn't have done it without guidance from Richards' healthcare providers.
Using telehealth via Updox, the family was able to keep in contact with her team of physicians to ensure she was practicing her therapies correctly, taking medications as prescribed, and communicating symptoms with her doctors.
"Having telehealth options was such a reassurance for us because we were able to confirm through her doctors that we were doing everything we could to support her. Since we were dealing with a major health recovery, the ability to check in and verify/validate what we're doing was like having a shoulder to lean on," Donald said.
Dr. Joshua Willey, vascular neurologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and associate professor of neurology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, said telehealth has been a solution for him and his patients during the pandemic.
"[Telehealth] was very helpful in continuing to follow patients for their stroke risk factors and post-stroke complications. Telehealth also allowed our institution to see new stroke patients with non-disabling deficits who chose to not go to the ER within a rapid access format to complete all of their stroke-related testing such as MRIs," Willey told Healthline.
The main benefit of telehealth, he adds, is that it allows people who live in rural areas to connect with their doctors without having to travel to seek care from a sub-specialist.
"The main disadvantage was that some aspects of the neurological examination cannot be done well in a remote manner, and there is a loss of the direct in-person visit associated therapeutic relationship," Willey said.
"Our lives changed dramatically after mom's stroke and we have had major ups and downs. Losing access to care would have been devastating. But thankfully because of telehealth, we didn't have to face that," said Kim Donald, pictured above (left) with her mother Sherry Richards (center). Image via Sherry Richards
The future of telehealth
According to a patient survey from Updox conducted by Harris Poll, 42 percent of Americans reported using telehealth services since the pandemic first began.
Of the patients who like using telehealth services, 65 percent said it's because telehealth visits are more convenient than in-office appointments, while 63 percent said it's because they don't have to worry about being exposed to other potentially ill patients.
"COVID forced the industry to rapidly implement telehealth, pushing a lot of physicians out of their comfort zone. But, similar to how patients are adapting to the convenience and flexibility of virtual care, providers are also recognizing the benefits," Mike Morgan, CEO of Updox, told Healthline.
From keeping patients safe to offering convenience and widening their net of care, Morgan believes that as both patients and physicians become more accustomed to telehealth, virtual care will go from a "plus" to something patients expect.
"It will truly transform healthcare with modern, impactful ways for doctors to maximize patient engagement, improve outcomes, and enable more timely, efficient connections between patients and their physicians," Morgan said.
He sees telehealth providing additional solutions, such as secure text and broadcast messaging so that providers can get assessments faster, see results, or consult with other partners, and communicate to patients in a faster, more efficient manner.
"This helps patients be more informed and prepared, leading to higher satisfaction. Ultimately, virtual care allows providers to be more efficient so that the care they provide is more effective," said Morgan.
Other findings from the Updox survey showed:
Around half of Americans said that if they were to use telehealth services post COVID-19, convenience (51 percent) and being able to see or speak with a healthcare professional of their choice — rather than using someone assigned to them (49 percent) — would be among the most important to them.
More than a quarter of Americans and 30 percent of those ages 55 and older said not having to download any special apps or programs would be important to them when thinking about the use of telehealth post COVID-19.
Among those who like using telehealth services, women are more likely than men to say they like telehealth due to not having to worry about being exposed to other potentially ill patients (72 percent versus 54 percent), while men are more likely than women to state they like telehealth due to it being more cost effective (41 percent versus 28 percent).
Willey agreed that telehealth will evolve over time, and anticipates it will continue to impact care for stroke patients.
"It will be very helpful for being able to do stroke care in sites that are geographically isolated, or very importantly when mobility and transportation are impaired, such as in nursing facilities. Acute stroke care already occurs well with telehealth and we have been able to extend that to rapid outpatient evaluation and follow up," he said.
For Richards, follow up via telehealth over the past 5 months has been crucial, allowing her to feel connected to her doctors from afar, as well as reassure her family they were doing all they could for her.
She's back to seeing her doctors in-person, but her family wouldn't hesitate to use telehealth again if needed.
"While quarantining has been very isolating for everyone, it has especially been this way for us and for my mom… it was such a relief to see how my mother was able to communicate with her doctors on video, even given her limited speech," said Donald.
As a caregiver, telehealth brought Donald comfort knowing her mom was recovering during unprecedented times.
"We're in the midst of some really strange times. Having that bit of normalcy when everything else was in upheaval was reassuring. Our lives changed dramatically after mom's stroke and we have had major ups and downs. Losing access to care would have been devastating. But thankfully because of telehealth, we didn't have to face that," said Donald.

BkiUfn85qhLB0iFHBti2 | This is the high quality, organic, shade-dried Sacred Blue Lily of the Nile Dried Flowers and Tops that other sites sell for twice as much. Traditionally, a cigarette made of dried Nymphaea caerulea flowers was smoked during Egyptian ceremonies.
Blue lily was held in very high esteem by the ancient Egyptians, who worshiped it as a symbol for the origins of life. The Egyptians believed that the world was once covered by water and darkness. A Blue Lily sprang up from the water and opened its petals to reveal a young god; a divine child. Light streamed from the divine child to banish universal darkness. This child-god was the creator, the sun god, the source of all life. When the pharaoh known as King Tut was entombed, his body was covered in Nymphaea caerulea flowers.
Traditionally, a cigarette made of the dried flowers was smoked. Our Blue Lily Flowers are flowers and tops only and are suspected to contain the natural alkaloids aporphine and nuciferine.
There are also reports from spiritual explorers that speak of the ritual usefulness of Sacred Blue Lily when smoked over several days, especially when the blue lily petals are combined with, or alternated with white lotus (Nymphaea alba) flowers.
Historically the Blue Lily was used to treat aches and pains, improve memory, promote circulation, promote sexual desire, and has been used to support a natural sense of well-being.* Recent studies may support such beliefs as Nymphaea caerulea was found to be loaded with helpful phytosterols and bioflavonoids. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 1 |

BkiUdvY5qYVBWth0L0ws | Broward Sheriff's Office detectives filed charges against one of the men involved in a series of burglaries where the thieves sought cigarettes. In early August, the pair smashed their way into at least eight businesses in six cities in Broward County to get their hands on the smokes.
Investigators located James Hendee, 35, at the BSO jail, where he was being held on unrelated charges. As the investigation got underway, fingerprints located at one of the crime scenes put him on detectives' radar. Additionally, detectives confirmed the vehicle seen in surveillance video belonged to Hendee. In an interview with detectives, Hendee admitted to his involvement in the North Lauderdale burglary, but denied participating in any of the others. He told detectives he stole the cigarettes to support his drug habit.
In August, BSO released surveillance video of two suspects as they broke into the Rite Stop at 4050 N. Dixie Highway in Oakland Park. Around 4:20 a.m. August 5, an SUV pulled up in front of the business and two white males got out of the car armed with a cement block. They hurled it at the lower glass pane of the front doors and quickly ran in, got the cigarettes and fled.
Hendee is facing six charges for his involvement in the crime spree, including burglary and grand theft. More charges are expected as the investigation continues.
Anyone with information is asked to contact BSO Detective Armando Hernandez at 954-202-3131 or Broward Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or www.browardcrimestoppers.org. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdSDxK6-gD0SrdV-6 | "Enthralling" isn't a word you stumble across frequently in album reviews, and — in immersing myself in Wind Burial's We Used To Be Hunters for the past several weeks, vaguely and occasionally attempting to come up with some choice analytical words to describe it before finding myself once again happily lost in a hauntingly beautiful, mystical dream forest — I think that's sad.
I wish more albums wove spells or were imbued with mysterious, pagan vibes like this one. The world might be a better place if more music felt like it should be the movie soundtrack to a pagan bonfire instead of being handclapped to death around a campfire.
Like Sky Cries Mary, there's a dark, seductive, particularly Pacific Northwestern current of spirituality at work here. Nature in all its beauty, uncertainty, and terror permeates this record, from the sleeping giant of Mount Rainier to the sea and stars. The title track even sets up the heart-racing feel of the hunt.

Lewis Hamilton explains why Ferrari F1 move 'wasn't meant to be'
Lewis Hamilton says he hopes to be a part of Mercedes "forever", explaining that while a move to Ferrari was previously a dream he has now closed the door due to "timing", and because he doesn't believe "our values are aligned".
Hamilton has been linked with the Scuderia for much of his glittering Formula 1 career, and rumours ramped up around a year ago when it emerged that the Englishman, who was considering his options with a Mercedes contract expiring at the end of 2020, had spoken with Ferrari chairman John Elkann. But it never went further than that, and since then Mercedes and Hamilton have clinched their seventh world championships, while Ferrari have slumped to sixth in the standings. Although Hamilton has yet to sign a new deal with Mercedes, he is ready to commit after F1 2020's final three races and spoke at length about Ferrari in Thursday's pre-Bahrain GP press conference.
"I was never close at all to ever leaving my team," Hamilton said about his talks in 2019. "I think it's only right as drivers, as people, when you're looking at your next phase and committing to the next stage of your life you have to analyse what your options are and make sure you do your due diligence and have the pros and cons.
"I don't know whether our values are aligned and timing… it just wasn't meant to be."
Hamilton has also referenced his meeting with Elkann in the Italian press recently, telling La Gazetto Dello Sport: "We talked on occasion but we didn't go beyond understanding what options were on the table and they weren't the right ones."
And he went into detail about Ferrari during an interview with GQ, the magazine that has named him their 'Game Changer of 2020'. Hamilton hinted that Ferrari weren't diverse enough.

The two-year-old Polar has offered around 500 million polls in the last month and has 1.1 million "unique voters in September." Those numbers are catnip to Google which is trying to grow Google+ and engage users.
Polar will shut down its support by the end of the year. The Polar team will be working on making Google+ more user-friendly on mobile devices.

BkiUcjbxK0zjCxN_soex | Last week, I spent a few days at the LinkedIn Learning offices in Carpenteria, CA. I was filming my second class there on Salesforce. And it got me thinking about confidence and how the process of presenting classes on their platform has challenged and grown my confidence in different ways.
Let me explain more. LinkedIn Learning is a teaching platform and I was lucky enough to be hired as an expert in Salesforce. I was paired with a professional producer (that's her in the photo above), created an outline, script and spent several months practicing. Months of writing, editing and organizing culminated in three days of live recording. This is me in the recording booth.
I look happy in this photo because we took it at the end of three days (a picture on day one would NOT have looked like that). I felt accomplished because not only had I finished the project, it had not been easy. I got hours of feedback like, "Try that again, you were not speaking clearly", "Too many ums, do it again", "You are swallowing too much, do it again". All very valid observations that could improve my recordings.
Luckily, I was paired with an extremely professional and supportive producer who made it clear that all of her feedback was to help me improve and to create the best class experience possible.
And it made me think. What if she had not been so supportive. What if the criticism, while constructive, made me even more nervous? The one thing we tend to forget about confidence is that our confidence can grow if it is challenged.
Confidence is something we are constantly working on and it fluctuates up and down at various times in our lives or even days of the week. It is dependent on not just our experiences but how we react to those experiences. And if you are an entrepreneur, this is even more important for you. Confidence is what will get you more clients, make you more money, help you create partnerships and support you to keep going even though its hard.
The experience at LinkedIn really built my confidence in many ways. First, it helped me become an even better teacher just through practice. It allowed me to face a challenging situation and negative (but constructive) feedback and decide that I was going to allow that feedback to help me grow instead of make me feel insecure. And that challenge only made me feel MORE confident after the entire experience was over.
It reminds me of what I told my son about one of his soccer games last year. He played against another team who didn't have enough players so they had to forfeit. Of course, he was excited because his team won. Then I explained to him, the wins that REALLY feel good are the ones that are hard. When both teams play their hardest and challenge themselves. When you win that game, it feels even better. As I told him that story, I realized there was a part of that story I needed to listen to for myself. It was time to stop tackling the easy challenges. It was time to push myself.
When we challenge ourselves and push through our comfort zone, the win is even more meaningful than our easy challenges. So here is my question for you. When was the last time you really challenged yourself in a big way? What was your big win? By sharing your story with us, it not only makes it more concrete in your own mind, it may inspire other entrepreneurs to do the same. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUbnrxaJJQn1aABoB7 | In conversation with Javier Jaudenes
The Mallorcan naval architect discusses business since SY 'WinWin'…
Naval architect Javier Jaudenes of Surge Projects made a name for himself in the superyacht sector with his first new build, 33m Baltic WinWin. Since the yacht's launch, the Mallorcan designer has been seeking his next new build project. However, despite the undeniable success of WinWin enforcing his credibility and repute, this has so far been to no avail.
In a previous interview with SuperyachtNews, Kim Schindelhauer, owner of WinWin, explained that he had been cautioned against choosing a 'wild card' designer by his friends, but was very happy he had ignored the advice and chosen someone that he trusted first and foremost. While Jaudenes has been kept busy recently with the refit and performance optimisation side of Surge's business – he explains that owners increasingly want to squeeze the potential and elongate the lifespan of their boats – he is yet to find another client willing to give him the same chance.
With the large sailing yacht sector mostly dominated by a handful of established designers, Jaudenes admits that he has found it near impossible to penetrate the existing pool of sailing yacht clients. In light of this, he has decided to turn his attention to attracting the next generation of potential owners. In preparation for the Monaco Yacht Show, Jaudenes has been finalising three concepts to showcase, including an 80ft, 115ft and 46m. The S46 is a restyling of a previous concept developed by Surge and interior design firm GCA architects.
While Jaudenes is currently keeping images of the concept under wraps until the show, he is able to describe his vision. "The concept is aimed at millennial clients that are looking for something really exciting," he explains. "We have concentrated on life on deck by enhancing the outside living spaces and the experience of going sailing. It has been designed with the Mediterranean in mind, particularly Ibiza, so we have created a concept that is simple, but offers lots of possibilities for cruising and to enjoy the experience with friends."
Designed to be built out of carbon fibre, sailing performance is a priority, with projected speeds set to reach 15 knots motoring and over 20 knots under sail. With only three double guest cabins, Jaudenes wants to enable exclusivity. The owner's suite in the aft part of the vessel has its own private entry point in the transom, creating a natural continuation of the cabin and, as Jaudenes describes, a 'terrace on sea'.
In the context of today's market, Jaudenes predicts that the future of the superyacht sector will rely heavily on charters, as he believes that the younger generation will prefer to hire in lieu of having the responsibility of their own boat. As such, he has designed the concept with charter experiences that appeal to young and sporty clients in mind. "The design follows current trends but in a more radical way," adds Jaudenes. "Naval architects have to rethink current designs in order to attract new clients and introduce more people to the thrills of sailing. The S46 combines an attractive design, exciting performance and more options for cruising."
The interior combines comfort with a minimalistic design, and special attention has been paid to the distribution of natural light. The systems and equipment for the yacht have been specified by A2B, so that the weight of the yacht is kept to a minimum, while at the same time providing comfort for guests with particular focus on the reduction of noise and vibration. Advanced technical solutions such as an underwater anchor and retractable propulsions system have also been featured.
With more movement in the secondhand sailing yacht market, and new build orders trickling in, Jaudenes hopes that his new strategy will garner new interest in his offering. "After the proven success of WinWin, we hope to find another client brave enough to work with us," he concludes.
The Superyacht Forum, taking place from 13 to 16 November in Amsterdam, will include compelling design-focused discussions. To find out more and secure your place, click here.

July 1, 2019 July 1, 2019 Russel D SilvaLeave a Comment on The character posters of ALTBalaji's 'The Verdict – State Vs Nanavati' raises the curiosity quotient of the audience
Alt Balaji's next web series 'The Verdict – State Vs Nanavati' trailer which was unveiled recently has been received very well by the audience with a tremendous response from all across.
Now the makers have unveiled the character posters from the series and this has definitely taken the curiosity go up high.
The first look of Elli AvrRam as Sylvia, Manav Kaul as Kawas Manekshaw Nanavati, Viraf Phiroz Patel as Prem Bhagwandas Ahuja have raised the alacrity of the viewers ever since their looks have been unveiled.
Elli AvrRam will be seen essaying the role of Sylvia who fell in love with Commander Kawas Nanavati and moved to India as his wife, where despite the equal voting rights, its women did not have enough voice in the patriarchal society. In 1959, the government had no representation of women in the cabinet.
Sylvia devoted her days, being a perfect mother to her three children while Kawas was mostly away at the high seas and then she fell in love again! Only this time, it led to a murder. The society judged her for crossing the line while the nation debated the most controversial judicial case in its history.
Manav Kaul will be seen portraying the character of Kawas Manekshaw Nanavati one of India's brightest Naval Commanders, the blue-eyed boy of the powers to be, and the pride of the Parsi community, who was about to be the next Naval Chief.
In 1949, he returned from England with a passion for western music and his English bride, Sylvia Nanavati. They settled in Mumbai and had a family with 3 children of theirs. In 1959, he returned home from the high seas to discover his wife's betrayal. What he did after that, set a maelstrom rolling, in which the most powerful political figures, the topmost media, naval top-brass, and the brightest legal brains got involved. Then began a war of opinions, morals, and communities triggering off a case that divided India!
Viraf Phiroz Patel will be seen playing the role of Prem Bhagwandas Ahuja, a successful Sindhi businessman, with a taste for the best of cars, alcohol and women. The suave bachelor hosted 'talk-of-the-town parties' back in the prohibition-era Bombay (now Mumbai), while his automobile showrooms across the city flourished. His sister Mamie Ahuja was his only family, and together they were involved in a lot of charitable work within their community. In 1959, what started out as an affair with Sylvia Nanavati, eventually led to his death and sparked a row between the Sindhi and Parsi communities; a communal war that continued long after his demise in a country of divided opinions.
Directed by Shashant Shah, the 10-episode series is based on the real-life incident of 1959 and follows the trial of naval officer KM Nanavati who shot three bullets from his revolver at a businessman and later confessed his crime to the police. Even after six decades the infamous story of K.M. Nanavati Vs. The state of Maharashtra is still one of the most sensational criminal cases in India and marks a landmark judgement in the history of India.

BkiUdSQ5qX_Bg0pzu488 | Lawsuit: Boss at Iowa City firm secretly recorded employee pumping breastmilk
May. 14, 2019 3:40 pm, Updated: May. 14, 2019 11:39 pm
IOWA CITY - An architect is suing her former boss based on allegations he secretly recorded her while she privately was pumping breast milk at work.
Jessica Clark, 32, of Ely, said she was shocked in December when she discovered a recording device disguised as a pen in the conference room she regularly used to pump breast milk at Carlson Design Team, in Iowa City, where she had worked since 2008.
'It's hard enough to be a working mom without having to consider something like this," Clark told The Gazette. 'I was personally violated by this and I've been suffering emotionally because of this. But I also wanted to bring this behavior to light."
The lawsuit, filed Monday in Johnson County against Robert C. Carlson, 67, and the Carlson Design Team, includes claims of sexual harassment, sex discrimination, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The case also is being investigated by the Iowa City Police Department, which has executed a search warrant, court records show.
Efforts to reach Carlson for comment Tuesday were unsuccessful.
Clark, who worked for the small firm as an intern in the summers of 2008 and 2009, took a full-time job there in 2010, the suit states. She had her first child, a son, in 2015 and pumped breast milk at the office after returning from maternity leave.
'Breastfeeding was important for me to provide for them the best that I could," Clark said. 'With my son, he didn't take well to bottles so it was a real challenge to get him to eat. It was helpful to provide breast milk for him because it was one less change."
She did the same thing following the birth of her daughter in January 2018, regularly reserving the conference room - the only room other than the bathroom that locked - to privately pump breast milk. Pumping requires a mother to lift her shirt and expose her breasts.
Clark started noticing Carlson would frequently use the conference room immediately before her scheduled time.
'When I went to pump that day, he had just gone in there to make a personal phone call," Clark said. 'Then he left for a meeting."
Clark went into the room to pump, but she said she had a ''spider sense' feeling" that something wasn't right. After pumping, she searched the room, looking behind the TV, under chairs and behind wall art. Then she saw a tan portfolio on a chair next to where she sat. What appeared to be a pen was sticking out.
'I knew it immediately that it had to be a camera," Clark said. 'I clicked the top of the pen and it didn't do anything. I Googled 'spy pen' and it was the first result."
The internet search showed her how to use the device, which she inserted into a conference room tablet. The camera showed images of her pumping breast milk minutes earlier, Clark said.
'I couldn't believe that it happened," she said. 'But at the same time, it was affirming that I did feel this way and this did happen."
Clark called Iowa City police and turned over the recording device, the suit states.
Iowa City police obtained a warrant Dec. 18 to search Carlson's office, house and cars, court records show. Police were looking for digital storage devices, the records show. Among items seized were a desktop computer, two laptops, USB drives, disks, documents, a cellphone and digital cameras.
In an affidavit, Officer Matt Young describes watching the video that Clark provided from the recording device.
'The video shows at the beginning what appears to be a male's hand setting up and activating the recording device. Sometime later, the victim comes into the conference room and is seen taking off her shirt to where she is only wearing a bra. The victim is then seen attaching the pumping apparatus to her breasts and then proceeds to pump breast milk," it states.
Iowa City police Sgt. Derek Frank confirmed Tuesday the case is under investigation.
Carlson's license with the Architectural Examining Board is active and he has no disciplinary reports noted on the board's website. Carlson Design Team PC opened in 2005, according to the firm's website.
A woman who answered the phone there Tuesday said Carlson is not at work this week. She recommended emailing him, which The Gazette did Tuesday morning but didn't hear back.
In 2014, an Iowa City landlord was sentenced to 150 days in jail for spying on six tenants in their apartments in 2012. Elwyn Miller, who faced lawsuits and was required to register as a sex offender, admitted peeping through holes he had installed in apartment walls and ceilings.

BkiUbfDxK6Ot9Pm3tvzv | Whole school attendance for the summer term was 95.26%. Keep it up!
We would like to congratulate the many parents who ensure their children attend school regularly.
It is a parent's legal responsibility to ensure that their children recieve appropriate education. Failing to send your child to school regularly without good reason is a criminal offence.
Absence disrupts the education of the individual pupil and the whole class. Please remember that parental illness, going shopping, visiting family, truancy and not wanting to go to school are not acceptable reasons to be absent. All of these will be recorded as unauthorised absence. If your child arrives at school after close of registration, this will also be marked as an absence.
If you believe there is an exceptional and urgent reason for your child to take leave during term time, you must complete the required form which can be obtained from the school office and make an appointment to discuss your request. Decisions will be made in accordance with Birmingham Local Authority's 'Leave in Term Time Guidance' and can only be authorised by the Headteacher.
If your child takes unauthorised leave in term time without the Headteacher's permission, and does not return to school within 20 school days, the pupil may be deleted from the school register on the 21st day. If this happens they will no longer have a place at school.
Please click here to find out more about the importance of attendance from the Birmingham City Council website. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
BkiUeKo25V5jEEL8tzXq | The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back. Indeed they must. In April 2005, when George Bush drove the King-to-be of Saudi Arabia around the Crawford ranch in a golf cart, thePresident wasn't playing caddy to Abdullah because we need the Saudis' oil. OPEC nations will always sell us their oil. After all, they can't eat the crude nor drink it and there's only so much Abdullah's harem can pour on his belly. George Bush's concern is that, in the first five years of his Administration, Abdullah and the oil-exporting nations sucked up over half a trillion dollars from U.S. consumers — $649 billion for their oil — and our President wants it all back. He needs it . . .
So, Osama Walks into This Bar, See?. . . and Bush says, "Whad'l'ya have, pardner?" and Osama says . . . But wait a minute. I'd better shut my mouth. The sign here in the airport says, "Security is no joking matter." But if security's no joking matter, why does this guy dressed in a high-school marching band outfit tell me to take off my shoes? All I can say is, Thank God the "shoe bomber" didn't carry Semtex in his underpants.I'm a bit nervous. It's an "ORANGE ALERT" day. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

出生: 1635年4月16号 - 死亡: 1681年3月12号 坐落: 伦勃朗厅,
Mieris was a Dutch painter of scenes from everyday life, or genre painter, and also of portraits. He is recognized more for his genre depictions of the wealthy, but also in his portrait work and his occasional allegorical pieces. Mieris was raised in Leiden in South Holland, the city also home to artists such as Gerard Dou (1613 – 1675), Jan Van Goyen (1596 – 1656), Gabriel Metsu (1629 – 1667), Rembrandt (1606 – 1669) and Jan Steen (1626 – 1679). His sons Jan (1660 – 1690), Willem (1662 – 1747) and grandson Frans the younger (1689 – 1763) also had careers as genre painters.
Mieris trained early on with the artisan Abraham Torenvliet, also exposed to his inspiration for everyday life through his father's goldsmith workshop. He later trained under Gerard Dou, becoming his most promising and later praised pupil. Through Dou, he acquired a wonderful talent for attention to the fabrics of people's dress and vibrant portrayal of its coloring. He was patronized by a number prominent leaders, including, Archduke Leopold I, the Holy Roman Emperor (1640 – 1705) and the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo III de 'Medici (1642 – 1723).
Some of his best exampled works are the pieces, A Party of Ladies and Gentlemen at an Oyster Luncheon, and Doctor Feeling a Lady's Pulse. His works at the Uffizi Gallery include The Dutch Charlatan, Two Old Men and the Table, and The painter's Family.

New York CNN Business —
With the sports world on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic, ESPN is asking its commentators to take a pay cut.
The move would affect 100 of the network's highest-paid commentators, and would be a 15% cut over the next three months.
"We are asking about 100 of our commentators to join with our executives and take a temporary salary reduction," the sports network said in a statement on Monday. "These are challenging times and we are all in this together."
ESPN did not say how many commentators have agreed to the reduction in pay. The pay cut follows executives at the network having their pay reduced by 20% to 30% depending on title. These measures are designed to ward off further furloughs at the network.
Executives at ESPN's parent company, Disney (DIS), have also taken pay cuts with the company's executive chairman, Bob Iger, forgoing all of his salary. Disney (DIS) announced earlier this month that it would furlough employees "whose jobs aren't necessary at this time."

ESPN shares what it plans to air instead of sports
The coronavirus outbreak has hit ESPN particularly hard since the virus has forced major sports — the lifeblood of the network's programming — to shut down.
The NBA suspended its season, the NCAA canceled the men and women's college basketball tournament — better known as March Madness — and Major League Baseball delayed Opening Day.
ESPN has scrambled to fill its air without sports in the meantime.
It's done so with a mix of live studio shows, archival content and "stunt event programming." One stunt event, for example, was the network's broadcast of NBA and WNBA's remote H-O-R-S-E tournament on Sunday.
The network also moved up its highly anticipated Michael Jordan documentary series, "The Last Dance," from June to April.

BkiUdOc5qYVBWXyiruAn | 近期,DB采访了常德汉焙咖啡工坊的常务总经理Isabel Sum。这家咖啡工坊是德国的优质咖啡在国外发展的首家公司。DB recently spoke with Isabel Sum of the Hanover Coffee Manufactory in Changde, who is Chief Operating Officer of the premium coffee business's first location outside of its home country of Germany.
DB: 您和创建汉焙咖啡工坊的Berndt一家是怎么相识的?How did you first meet the Berndt family, who founded Hanover coffee?
My first contact with the Berndt family was when I met Fabian in university. We studied together, and I remember one time seeing him giving two cups of coffee to a fellow student and became curious. I found out that they were doing a spontaneous coffee tasting. I was immediately impressed by the expertise that Fabian had, and of course by the very pleasant taste of the coffee he offered me. So, I got into speciality coffee more and more, and got to know the whole family.
The company was founded in 2012 by his father Andreas, Fabian, and his younger brother Flemming. Andreas had roasted coffee beans as a hobby and for his own consumption as long as he can remember. After having a successful career as a marketing director at renown breweries in Germany he wanted to turn his passion into his new job and built up a speciality coffee roastery.
DB: 为什么中国成为了汉焙咖啡工坊海外分店的第一个选择呢?Why was China chosen for Hanover Coffee's first overseas branch?
Since 2012, the roastery in Germany has experienced massive success and has grown to a production volume of around 100 tons per year in 2017. However, it's still a small to medium-sized family business so the next step according to the business plan would surely not have been to expand to China. Basically, an opportunity presented itself. A delegation from Changde was visiting our manufactory in Hanover and were really impressed by the concept. They mentioned that they´re building a German Town and we started brainstorming about building a second roastery in China.
All conditions were right in Changde as we have a nice production location and of course a lot of support from our local partners. This was necessary as importing green coffee beans and a beautifully refurbished vintage Probat roasting machine (that weighs over a ton) can be quite difficult to import to China due to the strict customs regulations.
DB: 您能跟我们谈谈汉焙咖啡工坊的烘焙方式吗,为什么说它是独一无二的?Tell me about Hanover Coffee's roasting method. Why is it unique?
Our roasting method is so unique because over the past 25 years Andreas has travelled Europe to learn about different roasting techniques & styles, and has developed a unique recipe that combines all that he considers the advantages in the different roasts.
The result is a long-term drum roast at low temperatures. This is a traditional way of roasting in middle Europe, also known as the Vienna roast. The advantages are clear: the long roasting time (minimum over 15 minutes) decomposes the naturally occurring chlorogenic acids that are in the coffee bean. For sensitive people these can cause an upset stomach or digestive problems.
However, if you take enough time for the roast, these fall apart into their chemical components and won't bother you anymore. This way of roasting gives us a very mild and easily digestible coffee packed with delicious aromas.
DB: 你们在广东省内的商业发展计划是怎样的呢?What are your plans for promoting business in the Guangdong province?
As coffee is a real sensual pleasure, we want to do a lot of coffee tastings & bars in the Guangdong province to really let people experience the coffee aromas and fragrances in person. Here, we work with a lot of partners ranging from corporate events to festivals and food and health exhibitions.
DB: 你一直是咖啡的忠实爱好者吗?Have you always been a big coffee fan?
It's just the same with every food product: bad quality tastes bad and good quality has just so much more to offer and most people will like it. Compare it to burgers – most people would agree that fast food burgers aren't at all delicious and rather disgusting with their soggy bread, browned salad leaves and fat-dripping meats. However most people would like gourmet burgers with high quality, tasty meat, a freshly baked homemade bun with sesame topping and some fresh organic vegetables and nicely melted cheese. So, you can't really generally say "I don't like burgers" or "I don't like coffee". It's just that many people have never even tried good coffee as most of the available beans on the market are industrially-produced.
DB: 你喝什么咖啡?How do you take your coffee?
Right now, my favourite coffee preparation is the American Press. It looks like a French press, but it has a different technique where the water is forced through the coffee grounds in a small pod, resulting in a strong, full-bodied and aromatic cup with the advantage of the fine nuances of a manual coffee preparation.
If that's not available, I'll have a pour-over or an Americano. I never have milk in my coffees, but don´t get me wrong, that can be incredibly delicious as well! Coffee is not about rules or regulations, just enjoy it how you like it! | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUcTXxK1UJ-rWoJAVv | These are the expectations of all core raiders (in order of relative importance).
Core raiders are expected to work diligently toward character mastery. This means enchants, gems, talents, and skills need to be honed, perfected, and if you need assistance in this, you are expected to work with you Archetype officer to resolve any issues. Everyone has room to improve. Everyone should have a BURNING desire to improve and seek it out. If you ever have to click on anything on your screen ( other then a mouse over casting ) you are doing it wrong. If you don't have a way to track the cool downs of all your spells, you are doing it wrong. If you don't have a timer for internal cool downs ( trinket/weapon procs, etc ) you are doing it wrong. If you don't have a way to track your own debuffs/dots on your target(s), you are doing it wrong. If you don't know when something trackable by DBM is going to happen, you are really doing it wrong. If you pull aggro, you are doing it wrong. If you stood in fire and didn't know it, you did it wrong. Don't do it wrong, do it right. I expect it. You all should expect it of one another.
Core raiders are always expected to have their game faces on when the on a boss. If we were all serious all the time, it wouldn't be a game. With that said, people need to understand the difference between "screwing around time" and what I call "game face" time. Game face time should be the time in which you have 100% focus, you don't have TV's in the background distracting you, you aren't catching up on a TV series on Hulu on your second monitor, even your wife / kids understand that gameface time is focus time and you need to be "in the zone" to down a boss. Every single boss, even if it's a farm boss should receive that level of focus. Even if we are going back to old content to get achievements, you should have the same level of focus as if we were doing progression for the first time. I give that level of focus, so you should to.
Core raiders are expected to put in the time necessary to ensure we are successful as a raid team. Part of the value of this flexible raid schedule is to respect people's familial commitments while keeping the commitments to one another to succeed in this game. For that to work out well, it means not wasting each other's time. This starts with everyone using the spreadsheet on time. It continues with knowing boss fights and your role before we step inside the raid. Finally, during the raid make sure you respect everyone's time by showing up before the raid starts, stay till it ends, be back before breaks are over and pay attention to raid leader's instructions the first time. If you are unclear on what needs to be done, ask before we pull.
Core raiders are expected to stay ahead of the learning curve. If we want to stay ahead of the curve, it means that every player should take advantage of the beta server. When class changes are coming, you should know about those class changes in advance and be ready to take day-1 actions to adjusting your spec, gear, or whatever is necessary to utilize the performance gains or minimize the performance losses when buffs / nerfs come to your class. Beta should also be used to learn new class mechanics on beta before they hit live. Similarly with expansions, you are expected to learn the content ahead of time and prepare to level quickly in accordance to the ready to raid goals as posted near expansion time. Each tier I will establish a ready to raid goal and a stretch goal. If we hit the goal I will be happy, but I hope as many people as possible push for the stretch goal. In general, when a new tier hits, I expect we should stay in lock step with the top 5-10 of the 10m guilds on the server. During heroic progression part of the tier, I expect to stay in the top 5.
Core raiders are expected to perform like a world class team. I expect the members of each sub-team team (tanks/dps/heals) to talk among one another, establishing strategies as a world class team. To stay on the forefront of progression, we need to be capable of establishing our own strategies, to break down encounters and build our own internal knowledge base on solving problems. Everyone should be excited after every raid on doing some kind of research before the next raid to solve some problem and figure out how we can do better at the next raid. If this means you look at your own parses on World of Logs or maybe look at what other guilds are doing or possibly even just looking at the incoming damage and doing calculations on what HPS we need to be to out heal the aoe damage of a given encounter. Whatever it takes, I expect everyone to be working as a team to figure it out.
Core raiders are expected to hold each other accountable for one another's performance levels. Part of this is the expectation that anyone in the guild can "call you on" something you can improve upon and we all need to have thick enough skin to take constructive criticisms from our peers. What this doesn't give us a free opportunity to be dicks to one another, which is why I describe it as constructive criticism. Of course with accountability comes your duty to respond to that constructive criticism and do something about it. You can't just accept the criticism and never improve, you should take it upon yourself to make whatever changes are necessary to improve your abilities. Again, as long as people are improving, that's all we can ask. So expect to be held accountable and you should hold other people equally accountable. Without shared accountability, the offices have to be police and for us to be world class and agile we need to improve as a team, not because Liv said so.
Core raiders are expected to be flexible in their classes and specs. Everyone, or almost everyone, should have 2 different roles/specs that they can perform just as well as they are expected to perform their main role. This means that hunters, warlocks, mages and rogues will be encouraged to roll and gear an alt, primarily on their own. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUa845qsFAfsI7XBLq | Tree cabling and bracing in the greater Clearwater area is the installation of flexible steel strand cables and braces in trees to reduce stress damage from high winds, the weight of heavy foliage, and to support weak tree structures. As Certified Arborists, our goal is to help strengthen weak branches or limbs so that they are better able to withstand severe weather and to improve their longevity as well as reduce potential risk.
You don't want to be put in a compromising situation during a storm that be dangerous to your yard or even your home. In addition, weak structures can sometimes be hard to recognize. If you have a concern about a possible weak structure, then contact Boen's professional Arborist's to assess your trees. Our Certified Arborist's can help you identify weak points and examine tree bark or large co-dominant stems, which can be signals of weakness that may very well need reinforcing cabling and bracing.
During cabling and bracing installation, it is important to only install one cable per anchor, otherwise it weakens the overall structure. A good tree service company knows that you should only separate anchors by stem diameter. And never install anchors in one linear line of sight. In addition, it is always important to note that the leaders should always be in line with the path of the cables. If this is not followed, it will also weaken the structural integrity of the job and possibly become a hazard for the property owner. Eyebolts should be fastened with round washers and nuts. Washer should be carefully seated against the bark. Also when cabling and bracing, do not countersink the washers, which is a mistake that a lot of unseasoned tree companies will make. The eyebolt shaft should be flush with the nut and peen end. It is also important to note, when installing bolts in a tree with decayed wood, is important to use a double nut and washer configuration.
If you are checking over the work of a cabling and bracing job by a company, please keep the following tips at the top of your mind. Make sure that any branches that have weak crotches are stabilized. It is also important to reinforce and repair any split crotches. Hold any rubbing limbs either together or make them separate. In the case of split crotches, it is best to place additional single or parallel rods about a foot to a foot and a half part along the length of the split. Lastly, a professional tree service company should always install a lightning rod after the cabling and bracing has been completed. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbOfxK1UJ-2RwU0Fe | Home China News How the world is grappling with China's rising power
How the world is grappling with China's rising power
China's sheer size and population make it a heavyweight, and a clear strategic rival to the United States. It is the world's most populous country and among its largest.
Its influence has boomed – along with its economy – in recent years, as the US and Europe nursed the wounds from devastating financial crises.
This has concerned several countries, particularly the US, which is keen to retain its dominant position in the world.
Here are some areas where governments are grappling with Chinese influence.
US President Donald Trump's administration launched a trade war with China this year, hitting about half of Chinese imports to the US with tariffs.
It says the tariffs are a response to China's "unfair" trade practices and alleged intellectual property theft.
They are part of a protectionist policy which has seen the Trump administration pull out of and renegotiate multilateral trade deals and challenge the global free trade system.
Many in Beijing suspect that the US wants to block China's rise – which is seen as a challenge to the US's own established hegemony.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2017, Chinese President Xi Jinping said: "Countries have the right to development, but they should view their own interests in the broader context. And refrain from pursuing their own interests at the expense of others."
Yet since the opening salvo, the dispute between the world's two largest economies has not only escalated but also broadened.
In a recent speech, US Vice President Mike Pence said China had chosen "economic aggression" when engaging with the world and "debt diplomacy" to spread its influence. There was "no doubt" China was meddling in America's democracy, he said.
The scale and multitude of attacks has many analysts thinking the US-China dispute is about more than just trade.
"The Chinese think the US wants to contain them and certainly a lot of people here do. A lot of people in the US think the Chinese want to take over the world," said C. Fred Bergsten, founding director of the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington.
"All current Americans grew up in a world where the US is dominant… when somebody seriously challenges that, as the Chinese are, it's viewed as a pretty fundamental threat and risk."
While the pressure on the US government for a more assertive policy towards China has grown over the years, some say Mr Trump is carrying out an "extreme" and "crude" version it.
Meanwhile, Chinese President Xi Jinping's greater claims on power are making many nervous.
"The big egos and strong stances of the two leaders are exacerbating it so at the moment it's really a collision course towards a cold war," said Mr Bergsten, who previously also worked as former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's deputy for economic policy.
Australia's parliament this year passed new laws to prevent foreign interference in the country, which was widely seen as targeting China.
China's growing influence is a concern in New Zealand too, where a Chinese-born MP last year denied allegations he was a Chinese spy.
National security worries have also led to curbs on Chinese companies, such as telecoms giant Huawei and ZTE, and on Chinese investment abroad.
The Australian government banned Huawei and ZTE from providing 5G technology for the country's wireless networks, while a UK security committee has expressed some concern about Huawei's telecoms kit.
"I think there is a genuine reason to be concerned because of the lack of transparency about Huawei's relationship with the Chinese government and the Communist Party," said Steve Tsang, director of SOAS China Institute in London.
Germany's government earlier this year also vetoed the takeover of an engineering company by a Chinese firm on the grounds of national security.
'Debt diplomacy'
Countries that are supposed to be benefiting from China's increased wealth also seem to be growing more cautious.
Beijing's Belt And Road initiative, first unveiled in 2013, aims to expand trade links between Asia, Africa, Europe and beyond.
But the multi-billion dollar project, which some fear could cause debt problems in certain countries, is facing growing resistance.
Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Pakistan have all expressed concerns about the programme. Recipient countries worry about debt accumulation and increased Chinese influence at home.
"I think first and foremost this is a tool for China to expand, to strengthen its soft power influence through economic diplomacy," said Michael Hirson, Asia director at Eurasia Group.
"There is also a strong strategic dimension which comes into play in the projects that focus on the energy sector and on port deals which serve China's interest in securing strategic assets overseas."
Mr Pence highlighted these strategic interests in his speech flagging the experience of Sri Lanka, which had to hand over the control of a port to China to help repay foreign loans.
"China uses so-called 'debt diplomacy' to expand its influence. Today, that country is offering hundreds of billions of dollars in infrastructure loans to governments from Asia to Africa to Europe and even Latin America," Mr Pence said.
"Yet the terms of those loans are opaque at best, and the benefits invariably flow overwhelmingly to Beijing. Just ask Sri Lanka."

BkiUdxbxK0fkXQzmMChU | Israel plans to pay an average of $300,000 per family in compensation to settlers who leave the Gaza Strip and will give swift cash advances to those who go voluntarily, government officials have said.
The cash advances could be available by August under a draft proposal by a government committee working out the details of a Gaza pullout plan that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's cabinet has approved in principle, the officials said on Friday.
Payouts before a planned March 2005 Cabinet vote on whether to begin removing settlements could force a showdown between Sharon and hardliners in his coalition, bringing it closer to collapse, political analysts said.
attempts to make settlers evacuate quietly and quickly.
Eran Sternberg, a spokesman for Gaza settlers, said most had signed a declaration refusing to leave or to negotiate payouts.
Government officials estimated the average payout per household at $300,000, based on the number of family members and the size of agricultural plots.
Such a sum would be enough to buy a one-family house with a garden or a large apartment in many communities in Israel.
UN General Secretary-General Kofi Annan told Sharon the international community was ready to offer assistance and resources to ensure the plan's successful implementation, Sharon's office said in a statement.
The total government bill - including a troop withdrawal from Gaza and removal of four West Bank settlements also scheduled to go - could come to more than $1.5 billion.
Israeli media reports said Sharon hoped to push settler compensation legislation through parliament by late July.
The NRP has still to make a final decision on whether to stick by the prime minister. Its departure from the government would likely spur Sharon to seek a partnership with the pro-pullout Labour Party or force early elections.
Sharon's plan calls for the removal of all 21 settlements in Gaza, a sandy coastal strip where 7500 settlers and 1.3 million Palestinians live, and four of 120 in the West Bank, which is home to some 230,000 settlers and 2.4 million Palestinians. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdyk5qhDACudDN8S8 | this is the standard set in France
Apple has long ceased to equip iPhone smartphones with EarPods, but France received them before the release of the iPhone 13 and continues to receive them after the release of the smartphone. Apple is forcing the inclusion of EarPods with the iPhone 13 in France, a RF energy legal requirement that makes earphones a must and should be included in the box of smartphones.
Many countries have imposed regulatory limits on RF power output as it could be harmful to health. While Apple designed the iPhone in such a way that the proximity sensor detects when the phone is close to the head and therefore reduces signal strength, this is not enough due to country regulations.
France urges its citizens not to keep their phones close to their heads. Instead, the government recommends using headphones, which can help avoid exposure to high frequencies. It is for this reason that smartphone brands in France must pack headphones along with smartphones as a must-have item.
Early adopters have confirmed that Apple is including the EarPods in the box with the new iPhone 13 series, as it did with the iPhone 12 and previous models. In doing so, the company uses the same thin packaging in which the iPhone 13 went on sale throughout the rest of the world. | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdhg5qhLACGfB1sUz | The Democratic National Committee reported yesterday that it ended the year with 2.9M cash on hand -- about $14M less than the Republican Party.
Let's go behind the numbers.
The DNC says it's been making investments in infrastructure, including its national voter file, and continues to pay for dedicated staff in most of the 50 states. The party also notes that it sent Jim Webb's Senate campaign $10M at the last minute and spent heavily on congressional races (although some '06-cycle DCCCers might disagree.
The good news for Dems is that the party is almost out of debt -- it has about $125,000 that it needs to pay off. And it managed to raise more than $51M in 2007, about $8.5M more than in 2003 -- the first pre-presidential year after the passage of campaign finance reform.
The RNC continues to be the only Republican vehicle to outraise its Democratic counterpart, taking in $87M in 2007. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUd8DxK1yAgWay5h8j | How the 6th Round, 199th NFL pick, is becoming the best ever.
Whether you hate him or love him, Tom Brady has battled through an immense amount of challenges throughout his life. There are many challenges that we all face, but what Brady has gone through in his football career. Brady's accomplishments are simply inspirational and memorable to all Football fans alike.
As with many successful people, the life of Tom Brady throughout his football career was never easy. Throughout his college career at the University of Michigan, Brady battled with numerous quarterback starters. Quarterbacks that Brady went against included Brian Griese and Drew Henson for the starting job at quarterback. What's amazing about Brady is every time head coach Lloyd Carr placed Brady at quarterback, the team became successful. In fact, Brady led his team to a Orange Bowl victory against the University of Alabama winning 35-34 in 2000.
What arrived to Brady's most shocking turn of events was the 2000 NFL draft. Despite his achievements in college, Brady was selected in the 6th round. Although he was selected as a 6th round pick, Brady was grateful to be selected by the New England Patriots. Brady finally had his opportunity to be quarterback in NFL and he was going to make the most of it.
Brady's experience in both college and the NFL is beyond memorable. Check out the documentary created by Joseph Vincent just to see how amazing Bray's story is.
Just like his experience getting a quarterback position at Michigan University, the New England Patriots wouldn't be any different. Brady would put himself in position after Drew Bledsoe we get injured against the New York Jets in 2001. After Bledsoe's injury against the New York Jets, Brady would never look back as he would lead his team to winning Super Bowl XXXVI.
Tom Brady always overcomes his circumstances.
Despite his success, Brady did have some setbacks along his quarterback career despite his massive success in the NFL. In the NFL 2008 first game of the season, Brady received a major knee injury against the Kansas City Chiefs. Brady's injury would put him out for the season which he would end up taking time to recover.
After recovering from his knee injury, Brady continued to have massive success. After the NFL 2008 season, Brady would go to 3 Super Bowls and win multiple AFC championships. Arguably Brady's best performance in the Super Bowl would be against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX. Brady would carry the New England Patriots from a 10 point deficit in the 4th to win 28-24 and capturing his 4th Super Bowl Championship. After winning his 4th championship, Brady would tie Joe Montana's record for most super bowl championships for a quarterback.
Brady has many more seasons to play with the New England Patriots. With the risk of injury in the NFL, not many people in the NFL can play football for more than 20 years, but Brady seems like it's possible for him. Before he retires, 20 years in the NFL is going to be the new 10 before he finally leaves the NFL stage for good.
With his work ethic and durability, Brady could win his 5th Super Bowl ring and redesign the quarterback position. In addition, he would be the only quarterback to win 5 championships in NFL history if he can accomplish this feat. If Brady can win a 5th Super Bowl, hands down he will be the greatest ever. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

An entrance to 26 Federal Plaza, the site of one of New York City's three immigration courts. Max Siegelbaum for Documented
This summary about chaos at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan was featured in Documented's Early Arrival newsletter. You can subscribe to receive it in your inbox three times per week here.
In Documented's latest report, our Immigration Enforcement reporter Giulia McDonnell Nieto Del Rio reports that immigrants face disarray when waiting outside 26 Federal Plaza — the building that houses New York's ICE Office for check-ins, the city's busiest immigration court, and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office.
The difference between the ICE check-in line and the immigration court date line may not be clear: The line for ICE check-ins sometimes begins the night before, as hundreds of people gather on one side of the building. Around the corner is the line for immigration court. It's shorter, begins later, and moves more quickly as people are let in to get their court dates.
Three crucial factors have left many immigrants susceptible to missteps: An absence of signage for the separate lines, a dearth of attorneys to guide individuals through the processes, and a lack of adequate instructions in native languages all can create problems for immigrants.
On a recent rainy Wednesday at 26 Federal Plaza, shortly after 7 a.m., there were about 200 people in the line for check-ins with ICE. But the line for immigration court had about 50 people. Individuals crammed around security guards and officers to understand where they should stand or asked others already in line.
A guard near the court line told some people appearing for appointments, in English, to show their paperwork, and shouted appointment times for people to step forward. But many spoke other languages, including Spanish, and seemed unsure of the guard's commands. At one point, more than a dozen people gathered around one guard, holding up their papers and pleading for some direction on where to go.
Confusion at the check-in lines: Jorge, who had arrived from Peru to New York about seven months ago, said he entered the ICE check-in line at 4:30 a.m. He said he assumed that's where he had to file because there were so many people in line.
When he neared the entrance of the building in the ICE check-in line, an official reviewed his paperwork and redirected him to the line for immigration court, he said. But once he was in line for court and asked for help again, another guard told him in English to go back to the ICE line.
Shortly after, he was once again told by a separate guard in Spanish to stay in the immigration court line. Read the full report on Documented.

BkiUeNvxK7IAFiMOD8bO | The Shame Of Uhuru Goverment; Stink of embedded corruption in our country!
Nairobi's new governor uncovers over 2,400 'ghost employees'!
Ghost workers drawing a salary every month and no eyebrows were ever raised, nobody arrested and nothing further explained!
Ok, that's Nairobi County alone! And that's not all! So, how big is the iceberg? It's likely that for every employ in the government of Kenya, there's a ghost! Who can tell the depth, breadth, and length of corruption in our country!
And evil people live long and seem to prosper- There's no revolution swelling as the people are hunger and thirst for good leadership!
And so Kibaki dared do a 'Blair' the other day- at one of the few truly institutions if higher learning! I have never known a flop before- Kibaki took stupidity to another level!
He totally had nothing to share with young people except his very own 'mavi ya kuku' theory! What a waste! That man was educated in prestigious Makerere and The London School of Economics….GOD knows how!
And now we have a dashing young stinking rich albeit illegitimate president. He's swimming in mud with abandon, like it has never been seen before in our land! In this one year alone, Kenya's debt tripled and the western soap-opera educated young Kenyans are singing 'Nyayo' with a new rocking tune.
This is a generation that is privileged to have real toilet roll but totally alien to its purpose! For some it's tribe; others a complete lack of identity – and many more, oblivious indifference – they sure want to eat and look cool, with no idea about how to cultivate, grow and harvest!
Parents must be dismayed! The number of clueless young people one meets in our cities going to 'college', with no particular idea of what they want to do is incredible!
You wouldn't have a decent conversation with these lot if you tried! The mushrooming colleges and universities are only to glad to enrol.
It doesn't matter how stupid you are, there's a place for you! It's one of the many many ways to mint.
Those in power are busy preparing their children to protect them and their businesses in future! They are busy planting seeds of tribalism, nepotism and every colonial trick in the book!
The environment is fertile for impunity! Other than for the elite, the machinery is not functioning for the ordinary!
People are too happy for a security job and if you just about flushed a hundred shillings in such a man's face, you'd get a presidential salute!
Try telling our people to leave the miserable slum lives and it's like you insulted them! Try mentioning a technical college to a youngster! That'd be a horrifying idea indeed to a girl whose cleavage is pointed towards a modern life of sleek …and a young man whose jeans are dropped to his knees, walks as though he's soiled his pants and speaks with a twang, tweng rather, except that he cannot spell his name!
Verily verily I say unto you, learning carpentry, tailoring, cookery and metal work will ensure a steady supply of sukuma wiki than the degree you are 'pursuing' with lecturers like Mwai Kibaki!
Honestly! Jomo Kenyatta's grandson is doing 'Fashion' because he can! And his father can take as much as he wants, just like his own father did! And a select few!
At some point enough of us need to be awake to uproot the stinking vice! | c4 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUbvg5qdmB62kgJIUf | Seán Óg Ó hAilpín
Sean Og O hAilpin, the iconic hurler of his generation, tells his own story.
Sean Og O hAilpin became synonymous with Cork hurling during a period when the Rebel County reached the highest of highs and was regularly gripped by controversy. Making his trademark barnstorming solo runs from left wing-back, Sean Og emerged as the lynchpin of the great group of Cork hurlers that won five Munster titles and three All-Irelands; in 1999 he contested All-Ireland finals in both codes. He was also central in standing up for players' rights against the Cork county board - a source of great controversy and two painful strikes.
Now, Sean Og tells his own story in his own words - a story every GAA fan has been waiting to read. Full of frank insights, Sean Og's autobiography is not just an essential sporting story; it is an essential Irish story.
'A captivating tale of family, identity and belonging' Sunday Business Post
'Hugely enjoyable' Evening Echo
'A compelling, honest read that draws blood along the way ... a tale so rich that the wonder never leaves' Irish Daily Mail
'Riveting' Irish Daily Star

BkiUd1PxK6nrxjHzCGSP | The parties agree with binding Federal Circuit precedent that holds that if the ownership of a disclaimed patent is separated from the prior patent, the disclaimed patent is not enforceable. Further, the parties do not dispute that, according to the condition set forth in the Terminal Disclaimer, the '176 Patent is enforceable only so long as it is commonly owned with the '789 Patent. Rather, Defendants argue that because the '789 Patent is owned by a party other than Plaintiff, Online News Link, LLC, the '176 Patent is not enforceable. Plaintiff counters that because Acacia owns both Plaintiff and Online News Link, the two patents are commonly owned by Acacia and Patent '176 is still enforceable according to the terms of the Terminal Disclaimer.
Plaintiff's argument that both the '176 Patent, owned by Plaintiff Email Link, and the '789 Patent, owned by Online New Link, are owned by Acacia by virtue of its 100% ownership of Email Link and Online News Link goes against a "basic tenet of American corporate law.. that the corporation and its shareholders are distinct entities…. A corporate parent which owns the shares of a subsidiary does not, for that reason alone, own or have legal title to the assets of the subsidiary." Specifically in the patent context, the Federal Circuit has applied this basic principle of American corporate law to hold that once a parent company assigned a patent to its subsidiary, the parent no longer had rights in the patent, even though it controlled the subsidiary. For this reason, Email Link, not Acacia, is the owner of the '176 Patent. Because the '176 Patent and the '789 are not owned by the same entity as required by the Terminal Disclaimer, we hold that the '176 Patent is unenforceable as a matter of law.
… Because we hold that the '176 Patent is unenforceable as a matter of law, we must also deny Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File an Amended Complaint for reason of futility.
Email Link Corp. v. Treasure Island LLC, No. 2:11–cv–01433–ECR–GWF (D. Nev. Sept. 25, 2012). | c4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUfW7xK7IAHYL5-wrw | Scott Adams, the cartoonist who created "Dilbert," made a persuasive argument for Donald Trump — even though he's publicly endorsing his likely opponent in the general election, Hillary Clinton.
"[M]y safety is at risk if I am seen as supportive of Trump. So I'm taking the safe way out and endorsing Hillary Clinton for president," he wrote on his blog.
However, he believes the presumptive Republican presidential nominee will come out victorious on November 8.
The cartoonist said that what was especially intriguing to him is that from the very beginning, Trump has carried himself as if the election was a mere formality — it's already a done deal as far as he's concerned.
Adams also observed that in the process, Trump has "taken over the Republican Party without being much of a Republican" through the use of his persuasive powers. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdPvxK19JmhArDeia | We arrived at Da Dong, located within a floor of a building along the bustling Jinbao Street. Our meal started with the sticky pork ribs which were fairly tasty. The main was an easy choice. Of course the full Peking duck was the only option. The entire duck arrived at the table beautifully cooked with a golden crispy skin. The chef then carefully sliced the duck into perfectly thin – chop stick suitable – bite sizes. It tasted incredible! I can honestly say that I have never tasted duck that amazing. My mother would be in heaven eating this (she's a real lover of duck). The duck was served with a side wafer thin pancakes and an assortment of accompaniments including cucumber sticks, a sugar and garlic dipping sauce, sweet bean sauce, spring onion, hoisin sauce and kishu mikan (a kind of miniature mandarin orange) to be peeled and squeezed over the duck. I enjoyed the crispy flavoursome skin as is; absolutely mouth-watering. Then I filled the pancakes as recommended and enjoyed them with all the sauces and fillings. To end off the evening we were served a light and creamy Chinese dessert presented within a coconut. Although I'm not quite sure exactly what this dessert was, I can say that I loved it! It was smooth with a very subtle sweetness to it and delicious indeed. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUcxo4ubngyA6kKppM | Climate emergency decision defended as questions raised over West Norfolk residents' flooding fears
By Jessica Frank-Keyes, Local Democracy Reporter
newsdesk@lynnnews.co.uk
A West Norfolk councillor has defended the council's decision not to declare a climate emergency after being quizzed on the decision.
West Norfolk Council voted to delay declaring a climate emergency in favour of a cabinet debate in October.
And at a full council meeting at the town hall on Thursday, deputy leader of the opposition Jo Rust asked cabinet chairman for environment Ian Devereux to defend the council's decision.
Ian Devereux
She said: "You said at the full council meeting that 12 years was not an emergency.
"How do you think the people in Snettisham new-build housing who face flooding even if they are on the second floor are going to feel about the council's failure to declare a climate emergency?"
Mr Devereux, Conservative member for Snettisham ward, said: "That was their choice.
"They chose to live there and develop their houses there in full knowledge of what was happening."
When questioned about the shingle bank at Snettisham being an adequate flood protection, Mr Devereux said it has been.
He said: "The shingle bank was actually performing its purpose. We will go through the process of restoring it in February, March next year. There will always be severe storm damage but the Environment Agency decision was that we did not need to do additional work."
Mrs Rust also highlighted tidal defences at Heacham as "insufficient".

BkiUdPo241xiEptdWaLw | CIS: Key Findings in USCIS H-2B Data
Thu, Oct 19th 2017 @ 11:34 am EDT
The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) has released its analysis of the current USCIS data of the H-2B program for FY17, which ended on Sept. 30. Through their analysis CIS found key discoveries in H-2B areas including: certification numbers, average pay, occupations, and the additional 15,000 visas granted by DHS.
The H-2B visa is a low-skilled guest worker program primarily used by the landscaping, hospitality, and tourism industries to fill season or temporary jobs. The annual cap for H-2B visas is 66,000. However, in July DHS Secretary Kelly used his authority, granted to him by Congress, to approve an additional 15,000 visas for FY17.
The H-2B visa has been criticized by both Republicans and Democrats in Congress for cutting American workers wages and being used to discourage or discriminate against American workers.
A few of the key findings from the study are:
There was a 1.3% decrease in the number of certifications (employer requests certifying that they need H-2B workers and were not able to find Americans to fill the positions) from 119,232 in FY16 to 117,716 in FY17. CIS points out that this is still one of highest numbers in the history of the program.
There was a very slight increase in average wage paid to H-2B workers from $13.03/ hr. in FY16 to $13.06/hr. in FY17. This is still a huge decrease from the average wage paid to American workers who usually make around $20/hr. for many of these positions.
The number of certifications for landscaping and grounds-keeping workers increased by 15% making up 45% of all H-2B certification spots in FY17.
Certifications for amusement and recreation attendants jumped into the top 10 occupations list for the first time in FY17. There were 6,703 certifications for this occupation bringing it up to number four on the list.
Out of the 15,000 extra visas granted by DHS, 3,175 H-2B visas were granted to agricultural workers. This is unusual as many of these occupations are better suited under the unlimited H-2A visa program, though CIS notes that irregularities in the H-2B process is not uncommon. Only 838 H-2B workers were certified for this occupation category out of the original 66,000 H-2B visa cap.
States who applied for fewer workers received more workers under the 15,000 additional H-2B visas. Washington State for example only certified 914 workers under the regular application process (35th in the country) but received 519 workers out of the additional 15,000 visas.

hi Kriti Singh! I would request fellowparents to share with u home made nuskha for increasing appetite. it's advisable to make meal time Happy fun time . child's mood is directly linked to her appetite. if a child is cheerful her acceptance of food would be more. discuss her favorite topics while she is having meals. avoid force feeding or scolding her as she would get further averse to food . hope this helps!

By day, the married couple runs a business called Run Mfg, which organizing races such as the Cleveland Browns 5K race and more. Both are avid sports fans and Ohio natives. The sports themed event was planned for April 28th at a convention center in Cleveland.
The Believeland Beer Festival is based on Kansas City's Boulevardia festival and would include a costume contest, a best pretzel necklace contest, two tasting sessions with more than 150 beers and 60 breweries, and former Cleveland Brown running back Earnest Byner as grand marshal. Barnhart says, "We want to bring something like this to Cleveland." The Believeland Beer Festival has a polka fight song and describes the event as a magical place where anything is possible if you just believe.
The tickets for the Believeland Beer Festival ranged from $40 to $75 and included bonuses such as drink tickets, t-shirts, foam fingers, custom beer koozie, bottle opening keychains, superfan stickers, beer glasses, and other merchandise all sporting the "Believeland" name. The beer festival is also selling designated driver tickets for $20 and includes the foam finger.
Barnhart applied for trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for "Believeland Beer Festival," "Believeland Beer," and "Believeland Music Festival." Although "Believeland Beer" is the only application that has not been denied and is still active.
In 2016, Believeland the website sent Barnhart a cease and desist letter saying that using "Believeland" would constitute trademark infringement and requested that he stop using the term "Believeland." Supposedly, Barnhart has refused. Believeland is requesting that the term be removed from the festival and is suing for damages. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Published by admin on November 14, 2013
CardPlayer.com – Poker pro Mike Sica, who won a World Series of Poker bracelet in 2004, passed away on Wednesday due to lung cancer, according to reports.
Sica, nicknamed "Little Man", was 69.
The New Jersey native recorded around $1.2 million in career tournament earnings.
"I had come back from playing at the Borgata and had a bad pain in my neck," Sica told the WSOP earlier this year. "After the doctors ran some tests, they told me it was cancer."
"Don't start smoking," he cautioned. "I started when I was 16 and I remember a 93-year-old neighbor who walked up to me one day when I was lighting up who said to me, you better stop doing that. Looking back, I wish I had listened to him. So to the younger players out there, I say do yourself a favor and quit now." | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUbcE4eIXguvMsu6Z8 | SDE Writer - How to set up Oracle metadata correct for SDO Geometry?
We're trying to write data via "ArcSDE Geodb" writer in SDO_GEOMETRY format and make it readable for non-ESRI software. We're using ArcGIS for Desktop 10.3.1 on an ArcSDE 10.2.2 on Oracle 11g with FME Desktop 2015.1 (but the same problem apperas in different combinations of software versions as well).
Our main problem is that in the oracle geometry metadata entries the axis-definition can't be set correctly no matter how we're trying it.
As you can see, both axis are defined as "NULL" instead of "X" and "Y". Is there any way to tell the writer how to set this up correct?
Just to be clear - this is related to the "Configuration Keyword" on the GEODATABASE_SDE Writer. So the settings you are are managing are found in the DBTUNE table of the targeted database. I presume you've either tweak "DEFAULTS" or created a new keyword configuration set to use when creating tables with geometry type of SDO_GEOMETRY.
Thanks for the share of your solution! I'm sure it will help someone else.
Exactly - thank you for setting this clear. We edited the configuration keyword we used for this specific purpose by export and reimport via ESRI's sde command line tools. Another way is - like you said - edit the table DBTUNE directly. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdks241xg-Kn-AILu | Q: Finding a Prime Ideal in the Ring of $C^\infty$ Functions Let $R$ be the ring of infinitely differentiable real-valued functions on $(-1, 1)$ under pointwise addition and multiplication, and let $$F(x) = \left\{
\begin{array}{lr}
e^{-1/x^4} & \text{if } x\neq 0\\
0 & \text{if } x=0
\end{array}
\right.$$
We are given that $F$ is infinitely differentiable and that all its derivatives vanish at $0$. Then $(F)$ is the principal ideal generated by $F$, and let $A=\sqrt{(F)}$ be the radical of $(F)$. Let $M$ be the maximal ideal of all functions that vanish at $0$, and let $P=\cap_{n=1}^\infty M^n$.
I've showed that $P$ consists of the functions all of whose derivatives vanish at $0$, and that $P$ is a prime ideal. From this, it follows that $F\in P$ and that $A\subseteq P$. I've also shown that this containment is proper, since $$F(x) = \left\{
\begin{array}{lr}
e^{-1/x^2} & \text{if } x\neq 0\\
0 & \text{if } x=0
\end{array}
\right.$$
is in $P$ and not in $A$.
Now, I need to find a prime ideal containing $(F)$ that's not $P$ or $M$, and also show that it's properly contained in $P$. From the previous part of the problem, I'm assuming that $A$ is in fact the prime ideal I'm looking for, but I'm having trouble proving that $A$ is prime:
Assume $f$ and $g$ are infinitely differentiable functions such that $fg\in A$. Then, since $A=\sqrt{(F)}$, there is a positive integer $n$, and an infinitely differentiable function $h$ such that $f^ng^n=hF$. So now I need to show that some power of $f$ or $g$ is a multiple of $F$, but this is difficult. I tried dividing both sides by $g^n$, which would write $f^n$ as a multiple of $F$ if I can extend the function $\dfrac{h}{g^n}$ to not have any holes. Now, since $F$ only vanishes at $0$, it follows that if $g$ vanishes at some nonzero point, so does $h$. I guess we can assume that $g^n$ is not a multiple of $F$, though I'm not sure how to use that.
So if $\dfrac{h}{g^n}$ vanishes at $a$, i want to extend this function to $a$ by defining it to be $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to a} \dfrac{h(x)}{g^n(x)}$. Since both numerator and denominator vanish, I can use L'Hopital's Rule to write it as $\dfrac{h'(x)}{ng'(x)g^{n-1}(x)}$. Presumably, I can keep doing this, since the quotient shouldn't go off to infinity, and take $n$ derivatives, whence the numerator becomes $h^{(n)}(x)$, and the denominator becomes the sum of terms which all have a $g(x)$ factor, except for one, which is $g'(x)^n$. If this doesn't vanish, I can get a limit, and if it does, I guess I can do this again for $g''$, etc. The only problematic case is if all of $g$'s derivatives at $a$ vanish. This also means that $h$'s derivatives all vanish at $a$, but I don't think this gives a contradiction, since neither $g$ not $h$ was required to even be in $P$, and even if either of them were, it would be possible for a function's derivatives to all vanish at two different points, right?

Liver Cancer — a Personal Story in the Data Age
As Data Age 2025 barrels toward us, I've been experiencing a personal healthcare story that got me thinking.
I was recently sitting in a hospital waiting room with my 65 year old brother-in-law and his wife. His liver cancer has been caught early, which is great news. Unfortunately, he also has cirrhosis of the liver, due to Hepatitis C — a diagnosis that has been uncommonly high among military veterans of his era, that is, those active through the 1960s, 70s or 80s.
Now, he is on the list for a liver transplant, but right now the cancer must be dealt with.
We were at the hospital so the doctors could map the liver for treatments he'd soon receive. Abdominal CT and bone scans were needed to verify the location of two cancer spots on his liver and rib locations for external probe insertions into his liver.
What do these medical scans have to do with Data Age 2025?
I was contemplating the amount of data being generated by these scans and others he has had the past couple months. It was mind blowing.
The MRI's, CT scans, bone scan, liver mapping, etc. The MRI alone can produce approximately 2MB for each individual 2mm thick image slice, and that's on the modest end. A single torso scan could have 4000 slices. That's at least 8GB of data generated for just one typical torso MRI.
That's just for starters. The number may be higher or lower depending on the resolution, 2D vs 3D, Single perspective or multiple. The more options selected, the bigger the data set. In this case, the imaging created a 3D rendering of the abdominal area concentrating on the liver — in itself driving the creation of a lot more data. This enabled the team at the Liver Center to pinpoint tumor locations, identify blood supplies, and develop the most effective targeted treatment for each tumor.
The data from our bodies instructs researchers and practitioners
Consider the analysis, reports, and diagnostics generated from the scan results that measure organ defects or cancerous tumors, and thus, illustrate areas to be treated so a doctor can decide the best course of action for the patient and might choose treatments ranging from chemicals, surgical redaction, radiation or embolization.
All of this data has to be compiled, compared, analyzed, and maintained for future reference, for medical reviews, for case evaluations and — especially — to help enable medical advancements. The data for the tests we were there for was to be shared with multiple doctors at multiple facilities, generating multiple sets of the same data.
Today, we are fortunate that technology makes it possible for medical practitioners to look inside our bodies and evaluate, investigate and determine the best course of action to heal, repair or replace organs, reset bones and restore our health, giving us precious time with our families and longer lives.
As medicine progresses and quality of healthcare improves, the amount of data generated for these diagnostic tools will be astronomical and will drive a continually growing need for data management, analysis and retention solutions.

BkiUdcA5qhDBblGOUx6M | bobe.me / News / ba. mocks pseudo-artists in their new single and video
ba. mocks pseudo-artists in their new single and video
Lithuanian rockers "ba." who have an extremely loyal fanbase decided to make a Christmas present and deliver a new single "Pažadai" ("Promises") from their latest album "NAUTO." The single came out with a video directed by AboveGround, a London-based experimental artist, photographer, and director.
Frontman and song author of "ba." Benas Aleksandravičius says:
The song mocks pseudo-artists who talk more than work, have little experience but want everything here and now. It also speaks to those who like to publicly praise their own work.
The idea of making the video for the single was cherished in a bar in Vilnius. The director of Aboveground, who lives and works in London, gave his word to make one by the end of the year. He kept his word to ensure that these promises were not just empty words, as sung in the new single.
The director whose creative style originated in New York, briefly explains:
We associate empty promises with rubbish, so the main video location was on the landfills.
The video for "Pažadai" starts with a quote: "The walls were shaking, the dogs were barking, the children were crying." This is an excerpt from a news report that aired on Lithuanian television in the summer of this year, just after the end of "ba." concert in Vingis park in Vilnius, Lithuania.
When asked about the experience of filming, "ba." frontman said he would remember it for a long time:
Being there broke any smell record. It was definitely the most challenging part of the filming.
2022 was busy for "ba." In addition to performing the biggest rock concert in Vingis park for a local band since the 90s and signing with Sony Music, releasing 2 videos, the band released their most complex and aggressive album to date — "NAUTO."
The start of 2023 will be no less active for Lithuanian rockers — the new album tour starts in early January.
"NAUTO" is our most musically challenging and most complex record. That's why we didn't rush to do an album tour earlier. We gave our fans time to get to know new songs on their own.
Clearly, fans' patience has been tested, and the album tour starts January 6th in Vilnius at the Compensa Concert Hall, January 14th in Kaunas at Daina cinema, and January 28th in Klaipėda at Hofas. Watch them perform live:
Benas Aleksandravičius, a singer, songwriter and driving force behind "ba." is one of those jaw-dropping success stories — he broke through in 2013, a couple of months later, he was getting hundreds of thousands of YouTube views — all at the tender age of 16 and without any record label backing or conventional promotion. Somehow, this indie rock singer managed to capture the hearts and minds of the young generation. The band has celebrated its tenth anniversary this year.

BkiUdy05qhDACudDN8mC | So this "pink drink" has taken over Instagam, and I couldn't help myself... I had to try it. The one that I asked for at Starbucks was supposed to be the "purple drink," but it just came out this light pink color. I wasn't mad though- it was just as pretty.
The ingredients to this drink are as follows- passion tea lemonade, coconut milk, vanilla syrup, and blackberries. I have a theory that the more blackberries you get, the more purple it is, so if you try this drink out, lemme know if yours turns a different color!
When I go to Starbucks, I usually just get a unsweented green tea, so this was a lot of fun for me to try! Let me know if you guys try it, and how you like it in the comments below! | c4 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

MELBOURNE, Australia – Thomas Pieters and Thomas Detry had a mid-round stretch of 5-under-par in four holes for a 9-under 63 Saturday to give Belgium a five-stroke lead after three rounds of the World Cup of Golf.
Pieters and Detry, who both play on the European Tour, started the day level with South Korea after a steady 71 in terrible rainy conditions in the foursomes (alternate shot) format of Friday.
On Saturday, they took advantage – along with the 27 other teams – of much improved weather conditions at Metropolitan and the fourballs (best-ball) game.
Belgium, which completed the front nine with two birdies and an eagle, then birdied the 10th, had a three-round total of 19-under 197.
Three teams were tied for second – Mexico, Italy and South Korea.
Mexico's Abraham Ancer, who won last week's Australian Open, and his partner Roberto Diaz, shot 65. Italy's Andrea Pavan and Renato Paratore dropped two shots on the par-5 14th when both players had balls run back down off the green from slopes just off the putting surface, but recovered for a 66.
South Korea's Byeong Hun An and Si Woo Kim, who chipped in for eagle from just off the green on the 16th, finished with a 68.
Three teams were tied for fifth – Sweden, Australia and England, six behind Belgium.
Sweden's Alexander Bjork and Joakim Lagergren shot 64 and Australia's Marc Leishman and Cameron Smith 65.
Leishman and Smith let an opportunity slip on the back nine. They shot 6-under 30 on the front nine – four birdies and an eagle – but had six pars to start the front nine before a birdie on 16.
"Probably a story of two different nines," Leishman said. "Got off to a great start obviously but cooled off a bit on the back nine."
England's team of Tyrrell Hatton and Ian Poulter shot 67.
Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin, both from Abbotsford, B.C., fired a 64 to finish the day tied with Ireland and Scotland for eighth at 11 under.
The final round Sunday will be played in the foursomes (alternate shot) format.
Bjork said he and Lagergren combined well to shoot one of the best rounds of the day.
"When I was off, Joakim was on, and when he was off, I was on," Bjork said.
Americans Matt Kuchar and Kyle Stanley, who were one of the weather casualties on Friday with a 79, improved to a 66 Saturday but were 14 strokes off the lead and in 21st place. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUfVs5qhLB3VuyW2cu | The Law School is famend as a center for scholarship in constitutional legislation, and outstanding scholars are effectively represented on the School's college. Patrick Macklem (2010) and Carol Rogerson, Canadian Constitutional Law, Edmond Montgomery Publications: Toronto, Canada. J. Skelly Wright Professor of Law Heather Gerken is quoted in an article about the future of the Supreme Court. Deputy Dean for Experiential Education and William Douglas Clinical Professor of Law Michael Wishnie '93 is quoted in an article about concerns over the veracity of data introduced at Supreme Court cases involving immigration. Constitutional Background : The constitution was passed by the Constituent Assembly on 26 Nov 1949 and is absolutely relevant since 26 Jan 1950.
Indeed, the Constitution is the elemental law of Australia binding everybody together with the Commonwealth Parliament and the Parliament of every State. This module aims to provide you with a chance to look at the system of constitutional legislation of Canada.
You will be encouraged to develop an understanding of the political culture in Canada and to critically consider how constitutional legislation expresses, and seeks to beat, deep social oppositions. Dean and Sol & Lillian Goldman Professor of Law Robert Post '77 was interviewed for a function article about the Supreme Court and First Amendment circumstances. Dean and Sol & Lillian Goldman Professor of Law Robert C. Post '77 is quoted in an article about efforts by Exxon Mobil to battle various state lawsuits over past statements it made about climate change. A number of the Law School's centers and workshops, lecture collection, and particular occasions deal particularly with constitutional regulation issues. The commonwealth and the civil legislation jurisdictions do not share the identical constitutional law underpinnings.
Inspired by John Locke , 4 the elemental constitutional principle is that the person can do something however that which is forbidden by legislation, while the state might do nothing however that which is allowed by law. The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the topic.
Through the discussion of current analysis, case legislation, legislation and relevant literature you'll contemplate the response of constitutional legislation to the assorted challenges posed by living together in a culture of mutual respect and tolerance. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUeAw4uBhi-rdEb0Yy | Who doesn't like to snack on some walnuts or dates as a healthy afternoon treat? These energy balls are a great way to enjoy healthy snacking with the added benefit of coconut. They make fore great treats for parties, kids, travel or just to treat you.
I made this recipe for an event at Studio A, a yoga studio in Orange County. These bites are a crowd pleasure with picky eaters, health nuts and those with food allergies. The trick is the simple list of ingredients. Only three. This allows the flavors to blend and stand out on their own with each bite.
Before making these nut and fruit balls, keep the following recommendations in mind.
Make these energy balls your own by customizing the recipe with one of these additions.
In a large food processor fitted with an "S" blade, process the walnuts and coconut until crumbly.
Add in the dates and process again until a sticky, uniform batter is formed. You don't want to over process, or the batter will become oily, so process until crumbly, but sticky when pressed between your fingers.
Using an ice cream scoop, form balls by pressing and rolling between your hands. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper, then place in the fridge or freezer to set for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store the balls in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for an even longer shelf life. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUc-45qoaAwj4XNxl9 | Home Arts Datebook Jonathan Sings!
When he first came on the scene with the Modern Lovers in 1970, Jonathan Richman was the ultimate rock 'n' roll freak because of how straight and innocent he seemed, singing songs that decried drug use and bemoaning the hippie era's chauvinism and excess. And in a long career highlighted with ditties about chewing-gum wrappers, late-night road trips, neon signs and his favorite blue jeans, Richman has maintained that wide-eyed worldview, all while aping the classic chords and catchy melodies of great early R&B, country and doo-wop music. His first album in five years, "Ishkode! Ishkode!," is hardly a departure, with the singer warbling on about what a distracted kid he is as he strums on an acoustic, but that's as it should be. Nobody does ageless whimsy better.
Jonathan Richman will be "having a party" at The Camel, 1621 W. Broad St., on Tuesday, April 11, at 9 p.m. $15. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUeSbxK7kjXLlzdH6q | In July, the Council is likely to renew the mandate of the AU/UN Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID)—which expires on 31 July—for an additional year. Prior to the renewal, it will hold a briefing and consultations on the Secretary-General's quarterly report on UNAMID.
Fatou Bensouda, the ICC Prosecutor, briefed the Council on 5 June with "a deep sense of frustration, even despair", as each of the 17 previous briefings on the work of the ICC on Darfur "had been followed by inaction and paralysis within the Council while the plight of victims of crimes committed in Darfur has gone from bad to worse" (S/PV.6974). Bensouda described several problems in the region, including indiscriminate aerial bombardment, sexual violence as a weapon of war, lack of humanitarian access and impunity for crimes.
High levels of inter-communal violence and displacement have plagued Darfur in recent months. Human Rights Watch (HRW) has reported that members of the Ta'isha and Misseriya communities have carried out attacks on the Salamat community since April in the Um Dukhun area of Central Darfur. As a result of this violence, over 100 civilians have been killed, and more than 30,000 have fled into neighbouring Chad. (According to HRW, while the source of these clashes is a land dispute between the Ta'isha and the Salamat, observers believe that Sudan has been supporting the Ta'isha and Misseriya because of their participation in pro-Khartoum militia in past years.) In one incident on 8 April, Janjaweed leader Ali Kushayb, who has been indicted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity, was spotted with government security forces and affiliated militia, who razed the town of Abu Jeradil, Central Darfur.
Fighting between the Salamat and Misseriya communities has also expanded to South Darfur, with clashes reported in Shataya on 19 June and some 40 people allegedly killed and 45 wounded in the fighting.
A group of civil society leaders from all five Darfur states held a conference organised by UNAMID on 10-11 June in El Fasher to discuss how to implement the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur. Addressing the participants, El Tijani Seisi, the chairperson of the Darfur Regional Authority, urged civil society "to come together under one umbrella" to have a greater impact on the peace process in Darfur.
Two high-level appointments to UNAMID were recently announced. On 4 June, Lieutenant General Paul Ignace Mella (Tanzania) became the new force commander. Prior to assuming this post, he had served as the chief of the Tanzanian Defence Intelligence Organisation. On 20 June, Joseph Mutaboba (Rwanda) was named Deputy Joint Special Representative in Darfur and deputy head of UNAMID. Mutaboba had served as the Special Representative for Guinea-Bissau and head of the UN Peacebuilding Support Office in Guinea-Bissau until January.
A key issue for the Council is how to address the considerably heightened level of violence in Darfur in recent months.
A related issue for the Council is determining the extent to which the government of Sudan has played a role in supporting this violence.
Another related issue is what the Council can do to improve humanitarian access in the region, notably to civilians displaced by the growing violence in Darfur.
An additional key issue is what can be done to revive the peace process and engage the rebel groups that have not signed the Doha Document in constructive dialogue with the government.
emphasise the importance of combating impunity in the Darfur.
Another option would be for the Working Group on Peacekeeping Operations to develop strategies to enhance UNAMID's protection of civilians work and report these strategies to the Council.
An additional option for the Council would be to ask the Secretary-General to launch a commission of inquiry to investigate the sources of the recent inter-communal violence in Darfur, including allegations of government involvement in this violence.
There are differences of opinion among Council members regarding Sudan's commitment to the peace process. Some have been critical of the slow pace of implementation of the Doha Document and believe that the government is responsible for much of the conflict in Darfur. France, Luxembourg, the Republic of Korea, the US and others have pointed to reports that security forces are attacking civilians, with some of these members underscoring allegations of indiscriminate aerial bombardments and the climate of impunity in the region.
Other Council members tend to be less critical of Sudan, believing that it is making an honest effort to implement the Doha Document under difficult circumstances. These members tend to emphasise the role of rebel groups in Darfur for the instability in the region. Among this group, Pakistan and Russia have argued that the Council should consider imposing sanctions on rebel groups that have not signed the Doha Document.
