BkiUfHrxaKgQRTAkvHoC | Just what is network marketing and why is it so hard to understand? It is easy to see why, to the outside world, network marketing is not understood.
Click here to jump start your network marketing business and get in on the fast track!
I like the words of Andrew Griffiths and Wayne Toms in their book called "101 Ways To Build A Successful Network Marketing Business".
Quite often a lot of excitement, enthusiasm, motivation and commitment is displayed by those involved in network marketing.
For people outside the industry this is a little hard to understand, and some of them can see the degree of enthusiasm as akin to a cult following – only because they don't relate to this level of motivation and commitment when compared to their own situation.

It is very common for people to slip into the drudgery of living a day-to-day existence, like being on a treadmill, experiencing very little excitement, enthusiasm, motivation, or commitment. It is easy to understand why seeing people in network marketing display the opposite, being so passionate and committed can be difficult to accept.
More people are driven by an external influence like satisfying their boss, paying off a bank overdraft or having a mortgage hanging over their head, than are driven by a personal goal or dream.
People who are attracted to network marketing see the network marketing business as an opportunity to get off the treadmill. As they begin to see the results their attitude becomes even more positive, their excitement and commitment towards the business grows, and they are driven internally.
People who can't grasp the concept of someone doing something without being forced to do so by an outside influence often come to the conclusion that someone must be convincing them to do it.
The whole environment of excitement, enthusiasm, motivation and commitment that surrounds the network marketing industry is often misunderstood. Probably the key here is perspective.
When sporting fans go to a stadium with their hair dyed and faces painted in their favorite team's colors, wave flags, yell and scream alongside thousands of other people showing the same excitement, enthusiasm, motivation and commitment, we think that is normal. Yet when those in network marketing show enthusiasm and motivation towards their own business team, for some reason it is seen as strange.
Network marketing, when it comes to the MLM, or multilevel marketing industry as a whole, gets such a bad rap. Yet the MLM network marketing industry has made more millionaires than any other industry in the world.
The MLM platform has leveled the playing field for anyone who is willing to put in the work to have the kind of success in their mlm network marketing business they are looking to have. And now in this day and age with the advent of the Internet, at no other time in the history of the world has there been the resources and tools available to so many.
Those who become involved in this industry may be tradespeople or professionals, educated or uneducated, shy or outgoing, but in the internet network marketing arena everyone is equal and everyone has the same chance of success as the other.
A lot of people may look at the excitement, enthusiasm, motivation and commitment displayed by network marketer's as hype or overacting just to influence those outside the industry with the sole purpose to attract more people into their downline. But the truth of their intentions are that they wish this way for life on everybody, not just because of the money available, but because of the joy and happiness it brings to one's life.
A chance to live your dream?
I truly believe Robert Kiyosaki summed it up nicely when he said, "It really is the business school for people who like helping people"!
Earning a passive residual income for life and freedom of financial stress while enjoying life with health and happiness is really the ultimate goal of everyone earning a living by whatever means, yet few find it. Of course our wish is to you, the reader, to join this way of life so you too can experience our excitement, enthusiasm, motivation and commitment with us and build a way of life that you have only been able to dream about until now.
Don't ever give up on your dreams, but do all that is within your power to make those dreams come a reality and don't allow those dreams to be killed by the nay-sayers. You now understand a little more of "what is network marketing" and how it changes lives. Now go out there and make it happen!
The ultimate in Network Marketing is a system to make money on the fast track while building your primary business. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 2 |

BkiUc3g5qsBC6bS3PAbr | Verse of the Week highlights to children the need to memorize God's word together with making application of the truth expressed in each verse to everyday life. As an extension of Riverview Baptist Church's Children's ministry, verse of the week enables children that ride the bus to prepare themselves for their Sunday School teaching by tuning into Christian Family Radio on Saturday to learn the "Verse of the Week".
Verse of the Week is hosted by Pastor Mike Schwalbach, or "Pastor Mike", who oversees the Bus Ministry and Children's programs at Riverview Baptist Church. He highlights the verse several times during the program and adds in teaching to make sure each listener is able to understand and apply the verse to their lives. He also provides information about any upcoming special programs and information about free bus transportation to Riverview Baptist Church from anywhere in the Tri-Cities.
Of course, scripture memorization is important to all of us, and tuning in and memorizing the Verse of the Week will help young and old to grow in Christ.

BkiUdAXxK4sA-9F9kP_9 | On Wednesday, some Taunton-area residents were getting a jump on their New Year's resolutions — or just trying to make up for a little holiday indulgence — by heading to the gym.
It's a group whose ranks grow as the holiday season winds down and the new year approaches, Steinberg said.
"You can see the guilt in their eyes and they know there is another week to go," he said.
With students on vacation, the trip to the gym is also a family event. Parents and kids hit the treadmill, weight room, and swimming pool together as a way to burn the holiday calories and share time together.
The Raynham Athletic Club offers on-site daycare for younger children, but kids 13 and older enjoy the side-by-side workout with their parents.
"You just see more of a family set-up," Steinberg said.
At the Old Colony YMCA in Taunton, Paul Arikian brought his daughter Sydney, 7, and son Ian, 10, to the family swim hour after a brunch at the Off Broadway Diner.
"We usually come on weekends, but it's Christmas vacation," Arikian said.
A woman, who declined to give her name, bought her sons Angel, 7, and Alex, 14, one-year memberships to the Taunton YMCA as Christmas gifts. Each membership cost about $100.
"It's a gift that keeps on giving and gives mommy some de-stress time," she said as she listened to her Ipod while the boys swam in the pool.
Lifeguard Chris Suneson of Taunton said the pool was a busy place Wednesday afternoon as families and even swimmers from the Coyle-Cassidy High School swim team were getting in a few laps.
"Everyone wants to start working out after Christmas," Suneson said.
Attendance was also up in the Y's recently renovated weight room and indoor track.
"It was busy today. Everybody is trying to work off the holiday meal," said fitness instructor Jon Clough of Taunton.
He said all of the food, drink, and merriment take their toll, regardless of a person's health.
"People who are active, they reach a certain a point where their bodies are screaming out for something healthy," Steinberg said.
Although January is the busiest time of year for health clubs, Steinberg said a full-service health club like his with access to karate lessons, dance classes, and swimming lessons will attract members even when they don't feel the guilt from too much holiday cheer.
"The main goal is to try and offer as many services as possible, to invite as many different people in here," he said. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdTw5qoYAqyxO-gIp | Weekly Poem for 15 February 2010
Imagine a small state with a small population
let there be labor-saving tools
that aren't used
let people consider death
and not move far
let there be boats and carts
but no reason to ride them
let there be armor and weapons
but no reason to employ them
let people return to the use of knots
and be satisfied with their food
and pleased with their clothing
and content with their homes
and happy with their customs
let there be another state so near
people hear its dogs and chickens
and live out their lives
without making a visit
by Lao-tzu, translated by Red Pine
Translation © Red Pine, 2009
Bill Porter assumes the pen name Red Pine for his translations. He was born in Los Angeles in 1943, grew up in the Idaho Panhandle, served a tour of duty in the U.S. Army, graduated from the University of California with a degree in anthropology, and attended graduate school at Columbia University. Uninspired by the prospect of an academic career, he dropped out of Columbia in 1972 and moved to a Buddhist monastery in Taiwan. After four years with the monks and nuns, he struck out on his own and eventually found work at English-language radio stations in Taiwan and Hong Kong, where he produced over a thousand programs about his travels in China. In 1993 he returned to America with his family and has lived ever since in Port Townsend, Washington.
Lao-tzu's Taoteching, from which this poem comes (Copper Canyon Press, 2009), is an essential volume of world literature, and Red Pine's nuanced and authoritative English translation is one of the bestselling English versions. This revised edition includes extensive commentary by Taoist scholars, adepts, poets, and recluses spanning more than 2,000 years. You can read two more selections from the book here, and learn more about Lao-tzu here.
Copper Canyon Press is a non-profit publisher that believes poetry is vital to language and living. For thirty-five years, the Press has fostered the work of emerging, established, and world-renowned poets for an expanding audience.

Start your search early: If you need a florist for your wedding or another event, starts your search operation at least 1 month ago.

Similarly, from May to October, there is a wedding season. Floral services are in high demand these days, so never wait until the last minute.

BkiUdY84dbgg2BVl2DpM | Register of Patients
1866 - 1871 Collingwood Asylum VA 2851
2009 - cont Department of Health III VA 4921
This series has been digitised and is available online. Access to the digitised records is available via the physical records details pages.
Consult the Consignment Details List and order in the volume covering the time period of interest. Each volume of these registers contains an index by patient name which gives a reference to the number of the page of that volume upon which the patient's entry will be found.
From at least 1845 and the proclamation of An Act for the Regulation of the Care and Treatment of Lunatics (8 & 9 Vic c.100), public asylums and licensed houses were required to maintain a Register of Patients. Initially the register maintained by licensed houses was officially known as the Book of Admissions. In some institutions the Register was also known as an Admissions Register or as an Admission and Discharge Register and these terms were sometimes stamped on the volumes.
Immediately upon the admission of a person to an asylum, the clerk of the asylum was required to make an entry in the Register of Patients. Details recorded included:
patient's name
date of admission
admission number
date of last previous admission
previous place of abode
religion, and
once examined by a medical officer, the form of mental disorder and state of physical health.
Further details were entered in the register on the death, transfer or discharge of a patient. Institutions were also required to maintain a separate Register of Discharges, Removals and Deaths, usually known as a Discharge Register.
The format of the Register of Patients, which was specified in a schedule to the Lunacy Statute and succeeding legislation, changed little until the proclamation of the Mental Health Act 1959 in 1962.
The record then became officially known as the Register of Patients and Discharge Register and included information about the types of admission. The following five types of admission were specified under sections 41 to 49 of the Mental Health Act 1959.
- Voluntary Boarders (V) were those who entered the hospital at their own request or, if under the age of 16 at the request of a parent or guardian and on the opinion of a medical practitioner.
- Recommended (R) and Approved (A) Patients. A person could be admitted upon the recommendation set out in a prescribed form, of a medical practitioner who had examined the person. As soon as possible after admission the superintendent of the hospital was required to examine the patient and either approve the recommended admission or discharge the patient.
- Judicial Admissions (J). Upon information provided on oath before a justice that a mentally ill person was not receiving proper care, or could not support himself/herself or had committed an offence, and after examination by two medical practitioners, an order could be made for the person to be admitted to or detained in a mental hospital.
- Security Patients (S) were those who had been detained in a gaol but were transferred to a mental hospital upon being determined to be mentally ill.
The post 1962 Registers of Patients also included information previously recorded in a separate Discharge Register, e.g. institution to which the patient was transferred; assigned cause of death where applicable. However some institutions continued to maintain a separate Discharge Register.
Register of Patients - Collingwood
This series consists of the Register of Patients for the Collingwood Asylum. It is arranged chronologically by date of admission and has an alphabetical index of patients' names which gives page references.
Details recorded include date of last/previous admission, number in order of admission, the patient's full name, age, sex, marital status, previous place of abode and the date of the Medical certificates provided. Details concerning the form of mental disorder, the supposed cause of insanity and the type and duration of attack are also given, as is the date of discharge, removal or death.
The register can be used to locate patient histories in the Male and Female Case Books (VPRS 7404) which are arranged by date of admission.
Volumes were arranged in chronological order by date of admission.

BkiUbUg4uzki0mx0NQZ5 | Definition - What does Tweet mean?
A tweet is a Twitter message displayed on a user's profile page, which is publicly visible by default, and shared with all his or her "followers." It can be described as a status update or post published by a Twitter user. Tweets are limited to 140 characters, including spaces, and may include URLs and hashtags.
The 140-character limit on tweets originated with the short message service (SMS), which has a limit of 160 characters. Twitter allocates the 20-character difference for usernames. Senders may restrict delivery of their tweets to their followers.
Other users can mention, reply to or "retweet" (RT) tweets as other functions of Twitter.
Even though each tweet is limited to 140 characters, there is no limit on the number of tweets each user can post. So, if users want to convey more through their tweets, they can post a series of tweets back to back.
Social network research expert Danah Boyd replied to this survey by pointing out that the category labeled "pointless babble" is not just a group of pointless talkers; instead, it can be described as social grooming or peripheral awareness - that is, wanting to know what other tweeters are thinking, doing and feeling on a constant basis. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

jturner@seagoville.org
Jason was appointed as a deacon in 2013. Son of Jerry and Mollie Turner, Jason was born in Dallas and raised in Garland. After graduating from North Garland High School, he attended Howard Payne University in Brownwood, where he earned a B.S. in physical education (with a minor in English). From Argosy University in Dallas, Jason also earned an M.A. in educational leadership.
In 2003, Jason married his lovely wife, Zan. The Turners have two sons, Dillon Bunch and Jax.
Jason started his teaching/coaching career at North Garland High School, his alma mater. He taught freshman English and coached football and basketball. He has 17 years in education—six years as a teacher/coach, five years as an English teacher with no coaching responsibilities, five years as an assistant principal, and one year as a principal. At the urging of his father, a corporate investor, Jason at one point left education for four years to become an equities trader at Fidelity Investments. But he missed teaching and spending time with children and so returned to the public school system. Jason's training and experience are put to good use in the Seagoville congregation, which he serves as director of education.
Jason enjoys spending time with family, playing with his dogs, reading, swimming, woodworking, and yard work. He also likes to watch and play sports.

A: I wanted to make a custom style for my map too but I didn't find a way to do it as easy as it can be done with Google Maps.
Neverthless, you could try some of the styles provided here.
In order to add the style you just need to add the layer to your map.
In your component class:
this.mapOptions = {
layers: [
tileLayer('https://cartodb-basemaps-{s}.global.ssl.fastly.net/rastertiles/voyager/{z}/{x}/{y}{r}.png',
{ attribution: '© OpenStreetMap contributors' })
],
...
};
In your template:
<div style="height: 369px;" leaflet [leafletOptions]="mapOptions"></div>
The link gived as a parameter:
https://cartodb-basemaps-{s}.global.ssl.fastly.net/rastertiles/voyager/{z}/{x}/{y}{r}.png
in tileLayer corresponds to the CartoDB.Voyager chosen style.
I hope this alternative could be useful.

BkiUeVjxK0iCl4YJoMoY | Waterford - An Oct. 29 inspection of Millstone Power Station's preparations before Superstorm Sandy revealed there was no gauge in place to determine when floodwaters reached a critical level, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced Wednesday.
As a result, Millstone was issued a "green" finding - the lowest of four levels of safety significance - and ordered to take corrective action. It was one of two "green" findings in the latest NRC inspection report, bringing to four the total number of "green" findings at the plant in the last year.
The other finding involved a probe that measures the level of nuclear fission taking place in the reactor as it is in operation, NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan said. The probe was out of service for 31 days, a violation of the company's license requirements that an individual probe be out of service no more than seven days.
Ken Holt, spokesman for Millstone owner Dominion, said repairs have been made and the probe is operating properly. Staff were also retrained about proper procedures, he said.
The violation involving the flood gauge has also been corrected, he said. The correction involved simply painting a "very visible" line on the seawater intake structures at the 19-foot mark. The company's license states that when floodwaters reach 19 feet above mean high tide, the Unit 2 reactor is considered to be in an "unusual event" and must begin taking emergency actions. The level is 19.7 feet for Unit 3.
During Storm Sandy, the highest storm surge at the plant was 8 feet above the normal high tide level.
"We discovered that we didn't have a physical indication of what level the floodwaters were at," Holt said. "It was never considered before."
Sheehan said that being able to measure flood heights at nuclear power plants is becoming increasingly important with the expected increase in frequency of intense storms. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUcJ_xK0zjCxh72Sw_ | Bernard von Spanheim (ur. 1176 lub 1181; zm. 4 stycznia 1256 w Völkermarkt) – książę Karyntii z dynastii Spanheimów (Sponheimów).
Bernard został w 1202 następcą swojego brata księcia Karyntii Ulryka II. Początkowo wspierał króla Niemiec Filipa Szwabskiego, następnie Ottona IV, a od 1213 ponownie Staufa w osobie Fryderyka II. Książę Bernard jest często określany jako założyciel miast. Stworzył trójkąt książęcych miast St. Veit an der Glan – Klagenfurt am Wörthersee – Völkermarkt. Przeniósł miasto Klagenfurt am Wörthersee na obecne miejsce. Zbudował system powinności lennych i wspierał handel.
Bernard przejął kontrolę nad ważnymi drogami na południe Loiblpass i usiłował opanować Krainę, gdzie założył klasztor Kostanjevica. Krainę opanował jednak ostatecznie dopiero jego syn Ulryk III Spanheim. Bernard poślubił Judytę, córkę króla Czech Przemysła Ottokara I. Nawiązane bliskie kontakty z czeskim domem królewskim zaowocowały decyzją jego bezdzietnego syna Ulryka III, który 4 grudnia 1268 zapisał Karyntię swojemu kuzynowi Przemysłowi Ottokarowi II. Bernard von Spanheim został pochowany w opactwie św. Pawła w Lavanttal.
Rodzina
Bernard i Judyta mieli czworo dzieci:
Ulryk III Spanheim (zm. 27 października 1269 w Cividale del Friuli), książę Karyntii w latach 1256–1269, książę Krainy od 1251
Filip Spanheim (ur. 1220, zm. 22 lipca 1279 w Krems an der Donau), arcybiskup salzburski 1247–1256, patriarcha Akwilei 1269–1272

BkiUdFo5qoYDgZr1C3DC | The Coventry Gateway public inquiry took well over a year, from the announcement of the inquiry by the Secretary of State to his decision and involved a great deal of hard work by all the people involved, including a team from CPRE.
Yet the case was a very simple one. The appellants wanted to build on Green Belt land. They acknowledged that this was inappropriate but alleged "very special circumstances" in the form of jobs. The inspector and the Secratary of State both said, very firmly, that there were no "very special circumstances" and the application was refused.
Yet the applications still want to build on the 741 acres to the north and south of Coventry Airport and Warwick District Council is anxious to help them. So it hopes to persuade the inspector who will examine its Draft Local Plan that the land should be taken out of the Green Belt and to designate it for employment uses.
Why should this be? There is plenty of room for the proposed buildings and the jobs that go with them, elsewhere and no need for them at all on this site.
So CPRE Warwickshire firmly opposes this, for the damage to the countryside would be terrible. Baginton would be swallowed up into Coventry and the countryside round Bubbenhall and Stoneleigh would be seriously spoiled.
We will therefore do our best to see that the designation of this land as Green Belt remains in the impending Warwick District Council Local Plan. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUcJTxK3YB9raXzK8Q | Q: Google Spreadsheet Trigger Mail only on NEW data to the sheet Ok so I use this script:
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/articles/mail_merge
And I have set the trigger to trigger when the sheet updates. It does but then it also sends email to all the old emails in the spreadshet. So for instance when I fill in the form and put user1 in the Email Address it will only send email to user1. When I fill in the form once more, I fill in user2, then both user 1 and user2 gets email, I do only want the user2 to get email.
If I would fill the form for the third time I would only like it to send a email to user3.
Here is what my funciton looks like:
function sendEmails() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var dataSheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
var dataRange = dataSheet.getRange(2, 1, dataSheet.getMaxRows() - 1, 4);
var templateSheet = ss.getSheets()[1];
var emailTemplate = templateSheet.getRange("A1").getValue();
I try this:
function sendEmails() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var dataSheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
var lastRow = dataSheet.getMaxRows() - 1;
var dataRange = dataSheet.getRange(lastRow, 1, lastRow, 4);
var templateSheet = ss.getSheets()[1];
var emailTemplate = templateSheet.getRange("A1").getValue();
It sends nothing, Do I do anything wrong =) ?
A: I believe the answer lies in the SendEmails method that goes down the entire list of entries in the form, sending a mail to each of them. To only send an email to the last person to entered information in the form you will need to modify that function.
You have a number of options, you can change the input range to be only the last row such as :
var lastRow = dataSheet.getLastRow();
var dataRange = dataSheet.getRange(lastRow, 1, lastRow, 4);
This should work just fine, second you could remove the loop, which now runs only once, but I suggest you can leave it in for now in case you want to send email to your entire list subsequently using the menu in the sheet.
Expanding on that you could have a boolean parameter in your function SendMails(onlyLast) that would do the switch for you, this way you have the best of both world.
function sendEmails(onlyLast) {
...
var startRow = 2;
var endRow = dataSheet.getLastRow() - 1;
if (onlyLast)
startRow = endRow;
var dataRange = dataSheet.getRange(startRow, 1, endRow, 4);
Let me know how that works out for you.

{
return false;
}
return true;
}

BkiUdWE4ukPiEUQBl_Nu | Far Cry 3 Remaster Greatly Improves Visuals On PS4 And Xbox One, Comparison Inside
Far Cry 3 is available for the first time on the current generation consoles. It is a part of the Far Cry 5 Season Pass which is also included in the Gold Edition for Far Cry 5. It will be released later as a standalone purchase although there is no release date given for it yet.
Far Cry 3 was a late generation game that was released back in 2012. It came at the very end of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 console life cycle and struggled to run on them as well as the PC version. Not only the frame rate was terrible with constant screen tearing, the game also felt like a huge downgrade with many of the important visual effects toned down or removed completely.
Thankfully, it is now possible to enjoy Far Cry 3 as it was intended by the developers thanks to the Classic Edition, which also acts as a remaster. It features all of the major visual enhancements of the PC version and also greatly improves the frame rate.
The comparison that is above is from just the beginning of the game but it easily highlights how much of a downgrade the original Far Cry 3 was on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The performance of the game in cutscenes never managed to hit 30 FPS but this has all changed now and the experience is relatively smooth. If you were excited to return to the world of Far Cry 3, this is a pretty good time to play it on a console. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUde44uzlhbeH0Z77L | This is the mother's day sermon, delivered at Hillcrest Baptist Church on May 11, 2014. This message deals with the calling, responsibility, and accountability of being a mother. This post contains my sermon notes, and an audio recording of the message. The notes are not necessarily a full transcript, so to receive the message in its entirety you'll need to listen to the audio.
A mother's job is not to be taken lightly.
In fact, parents have a lot of competition from those who purposely take over the role of child training.
Before you dismiss this as a well meaning but misguided or harmless ideology, think about this quote.
It strikes at the very heart of God's order of creation. God created man, woman, marriage and family, in that order.
The family unit is sovereign, and it is the foundation of society and government.
Instead, in our evil and depraved world, many would seek destroy the family in favor of a new order.
Stay at home moms are looked down upon, and the traditional, Biblical family is mocked.
To diminish the family, in favor of some other order, is to further push God out of society.
It's no wonder that there are so many entities competing with parents for control and influence of our children.
Teach them Bible songs. Children love to sing, and it's a great way to learn.
If you want to know what your little ones are learning, listen to what they are singing.
Do they know all the songs from their favorite TV shows and movies, but Bible songs?
They should be singing about Jesus before singing about anything else.
We see the result of this in Timothy, he became a man of great faith.
The consequences of neglecting this motherly duty.
It is sad that there are many mothers who do not take their job seriously, but thank God for godly mothers, they are an invaluable asset to our community.
Mothers: make sure you are up to the task.
Prepare yourself, take your job seriously, and train your child, the rewards are priceless.
We should all honor our mothers, today and everyday, as God has commanded.
After all, a godly mother is to be praised.
That's even more important in today's world, where so many are competing against her, and working to demean and devalue her calling.
She needs all the encouragement and support she can get. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdM05qdmDLggdCUXI | Every good salad needs an equally good dressing. While there are a few brands of good dressing available, the best dressings are made fresh and used immediately. So, you need to keep the ingredients available in your pantry.
Every salad dressing needs an emulsifying agent, and this agent is usually extra virgin olive oil. Be sure you get extra virgin oil, and be sure it's fresh. Olive oil goes rancid, so pay attention to its expiration date, and check the oil before you use it, as it can go rancid before it expires.
The emulsifying agent blends with an acid; usually it's vinegar, but it may also be lemon juice or orange juice. Keep a variety of vinegars on hand – distilled white, apple cider, red wine, champagne, and rice wine are the most commonly used. If you use a citrus juice instead of vinegar, be sure it's freshly squeezed; keep fresh oranges and lemons in your refrigerator if possible.
Salad dressings get flavor from herbs and spices; if you don't have fresh herbs available to you, keep a stock of dried herbs in your pantry. Dried herbs are stronger than fresh, so adjust your recipe if substituting.
Fine sea salt should be a staple of your pantry, for all of your cooking needs.
Onions are used in the bases of many dishes, so they should always be in your pantry. Garlic cloves are also used in most savory dishes in Italian and French cooking, and they are present in many American dishes as well, so keep a head or two handy. Shallots are not as common in American cooking, but they are available at most large supermarkets. Keep a couple on hand, for salad dressings, salads, and main dishes.
Brown mustards and Dijon mustards are used in many salad dressings, as well as condiments for sandwiches, hamburgers, and hot dogs, so keep a bottle handy in the pantry, and move it to the refrigerator once opened.
The basis for all salads is a combination of greens – iceburg, Boston bib, romaine, arugula, and spinach are the most common. Cabbage is used in coleslaw, either red or green, and bok choy is often combined with lettuce greens. While it's true that the healthiest foods are ones grown locally, it can be quite expensive to keep heads of all the different lettuces and cabbages used in a salad base. The salad kits available in most supermarkets are OK to use, but be sure you wash them in purified or distilled water before using.
Carrots are used in a variety of savory dishes, so they should be in your refrigerator as a matter of course. Radishes are used mainly for salads, but they are also used in appetizers, so keeping some on hand is a good idea. Beets can be used for salads, and for side dishes, but they don't keep well, so they should be bought as you plan to use them.
Meats in a dinner salad are usually cuts of steak, or chicken breasts. Fishes used in dinner salads are salmon, tuna, and swordfish. The fish and steak are generally grilled; the chicken can be grilled, fried, baked, or roasted. Keep the steak, fish, or chicken in your freezer, and prepare them when ready. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

The hyperobject of environmental disaster has cleft into our world's emotional surface a gorge of directionless sadness and fear, in which many of us find ourselves shuddering. Ecological grief is a common term for this state, but geologists and ecologists, who are highly susceptible to it, have been compiling a manic thesaurus of diagnoses: ecological anxiety disorder, anthrophobia (fear of humans), autophobia (fear of self), societal death anxiety. This collective regret and dread manifests itself in many ways, one of which is the organizing of ongoing Earth-death rituals, like funeral ceremonies and memorials for deceased glaciers (such as for Iceland's Okjökull, which was declared dead in 2014 at the age of seven hundred).
Among these memorial impulses we might count the new exhibition Goodbye, World, though maybe it's really more like an anti-memorial, because it was designed not to extend into the future to remind and instruct the coming generations about the loss of our world (that is, if there are going to be generations to come), but to disappear in the present. Goodbye, World consists of ten artworks (some specifically selected by the curators, some "carte blanche" commissions, and all designed to be "eco-friendly") that respond to the theme of environmental catastrophe. Once assembled, the pieces were placed in a circular formation on a sheet of ice in Swedish Lapland's Bay of Bothnia, just at the fringes of the arctic circle. The exhibition was installed in early February 2021, at the height of arctic winter, when the ice is as strong as earth. But arctic spring will begin in mid-March; by April the ice will tremble itself out of permanence and start to split, and its ice calves will inevitably melt and the artworks sink into the sea. The project was organized to mark our existential, oceanic loss, and plans to add itself to that lossy ocean, like a temporary autophagic remembrance that will end up forgotten in our vanishing future. ("The arctic used to be the end of the world," Icelandic author Sjón has said. "Now it's disappearing, and maybe the world will end with it.")

Goodbye, World was conceived by Berlin-based curators Andreas Templin and Raimar Stange in pre-pandemic times, but it is accidentally the perfect pandemic exhibition, combining our housebound yearning for travel with the necessity of virtuality. The show "opened" on Saturday, February 13, in a Zoom ceremony, during which the curators shared video footage of the installation process (in which they mushed a team of beaming huskies across the ice floe, carrying the wrapped-up artworks in a sled behind them) and narrated a video tour. (An aerial view from a drone had been promised, but the temperatures had dropped so low that the drone refused to work.)

The story of creating this exhibition and the resulting images of this magnificent frozen world, the spine-tingling sublimity of its vast bleached expanse, which so few people will ever get to see, are all so spectacular, it's perhaps inevitable that they would overshadow the artworks themselves. Some of them are wholeheartedly forthright interpretations of the theme. For instance, Montreal-born, Berlin-based artist Nika Fontaine offered a mound of active charcoal, like an extinguished funeral pyre, studded with cartoonish human skulls formed out of bread, with smoke wafting from burning frankincense. "It is only fair of you [Earth] to put an end to our selfishness . . . I welcome your wrath as an act of self-care and preservation," Fontaine writes in an accompanying letter. There's also Berlin-based Veit Schütz's Aggregat Weltenbrand (Aggregate World in Flames) (2017), an old-fashioned, lacquered wooden radio equipped with a glowing 3D print of the planet Earth. In the original iteration of the artwork, the viewer could depress a red button to ignite a series of explosions across the miniature world. (A GIF on the exhibition website shows what this looks like, but the actual work installed on the ice floe is an "environmentally friendly" copy, sans electronics.)

The more absurd, puzzling contributions also looked a little forlorn against the brilliant snow. French-Indian artist Nadira Husain's Scrupulous (2020) is a clay turtle, of the commercial garden-gnome variety, that has been painted in periwinkle acrylic. In Hinduism, the turtle is an incarnation of the god Vishnu, who is charged with guarding creation; but Scrupulous is also, somewhat inexplicably, a nod to The Smurfs, Husain says. And Athens-based artist-collector Peter Niemann sent to the arctic Joseph Beuys's legendary felt suit, slightly altered with the addition of a Marlboro patch to the jacket pocket; against a heavy purple sky, the empty suit drifts listlessly and inscrutably from the apex of a stick pyramid.

The ancillary feeling of some of these works might be because of their extreme distance from the viewer (I looked at them from my living room in Queens, some 4,000 miles away from the Bay of Bothnia). But it might also be because Goodbye, World seems to function more as a conceptual critical-curatorial gesture, where the administration and logistics of making the show and the rigorous discursive apparatus built around it are just as essential to the project's meaning, or perhaps even more so, than the collected artworks. They are, after all, destined soon to become ice trash sinking to the bottom of an ailing Baltic Sea; more important, maybe, is the curators' provocation to an audience they seem to consider too complacent.
In his challenging exhibition essay, Stange, who has for years been writing on environmental catastrophe and organizing exhibitions about it, indicts the art industries for not adequately tackling climate change. He says this is partly due to a bourgeois predilection for disinterested aestheticism, and a correlated dislike of "instrumentalized" art that agitates. But it is also because institutions are too preoccupied with "comparatively manageable" (and marketable, he suggests) sociopolitical issues like feminism, postcolonialism, and "identity politics." It seems to me somewhat alarming to silo these areas of study, or to say one comes at the cost of another. Climate change is fully a racist and (post)colonial and feminist problem, and those "social-theoretical agendas" that Range finds less urgent can in fact help us to imagine the awesomely different way of being in the world that would be required to mitigate the progressive climate disaster. Some of the most compelling "climate change art," to me, is art that understands this intersectionality and fluidly operates through those overlapping levels of inquiry, such as in works by Thao Nguyen Phan and Sofía Córdova.

If I was mostly missing that multidimensionality in Goodbye, World, there is also something beautiful on the ice floe: the piece that both opens and ends this circular itinerary, Peruvian artist Eliana Otta's Vicarious fragile pilgrims (2020), a delicate structure, a humble gate fashioned from attenuated tree limbs, from which three long white strips of paper dolls flutter, in celebration, or in elegiac lament. The work pays reverence to the annual, syncretic Qoyllur R'iti pilgrimage, when the Indigenous peoples of the Andean highlands head to the local, sacred Ausangate glacier to celebrate, among other things, the appearance of the Pleiades constellation in the southern night skies, and to ceremoniously harvest glittering bits of the glacier's divine, "life-giving" frozen crystals. The pilgrimage and attendant festival were canceled in 2020 due to COVID, but have also been increasingly restricted in recent years due to Ausangate's rapid melt. In an audio statement posted in Spanish on the online exhibition, Otta says she wanted the paper dolls to act as avatars for the pilgrims, to let them finally reach the ice. The curators reckon this will be the first of the artworks on the floe to disappear.

Dr. Zvi Levran, Former Team Doctor for Novi High School's Hockey Team Charged with Sexual Misconduct
Sommers Schwartz, P.C.
SOUTHFIELD, MI, USA, November 29, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Sommers Schwartz has recently learned that Dr. Zvi Levran, who is being prosecuted for sexual misconduct in Oakland County, Michigan, was the team doctor for the Novi High School Hockey Team as well as other teams in Michigan and Minnesota.
The Novi Wildcats are the hockey team for Novi High School, located in Novi, Michigan. The school is part of the Novi Community School District.
Dr. Zvi Levran provided medical care to youth hockey players in Michigan between 2000 and 2011. He then moved to Fergus Falls, Minnesota, where he practiced until 2018. In the summer of 2018, he moved back to Metro Detroit.
On October 18, 2022, Levran was first arrested when a 19-year-old man visited Levran's residence for a medical examination. According to the teenage patient, Dr. Levran sexually assaulted him during the exam. Oakland County prosecutors charged Levran with four counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct and three counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct. At that time, he was freed on a $100,000 bond.
On November 11, 2022, prosecutors authorized ten more charges against Levran after other victims—all linked to hockey leagues in Michigan and Minnesota—stepped forward and investigations uncovered further instances of sexual misconduct.
The new charges against Levran include one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, and eight counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct. The bond requirement was increased to $1 million; unable to pay the cash or surety, he has been held at the Oakland County jail.
Were you or a teammate sexually assaulted by Dr. Zvi Levran?
If Dr. Zvi Levran or another physician or healthcare provider sexually abused you, the experienced attorneys at Sommers Schwartz are available for a free, confidential consultation.

BkiUbFi6NNjgBtygdYga | Wall Street may not totally get Twitter , but Jack Dorsey totally gets Wall Street.
Eight days after Twitter's (ticker: TWTR) co-founder was named CEO, he announced up to 336 staffers, or 8% of the workforce, would lose their jobs. "Made some tough but necessary decisions that enable Twitter to move with greater focus and reinvest in our growth," he tweeted last Tuesday.
According to Kordestani's LinkedIn profile, he spent 10 years at Google, then left to advise company founders and CEOs. In August 2014, he returned to Google to help manage senior leadership changes and transition to Alphabet, Google's public holding company. "Excited to work with @jack, the Twitter Board, @adambain, @anthonynoto and the rest of the team to grow @twitter's impact and business," Kordestani tweeted.
These moves indicate Dorsey is not averse to moving in ways the Street understands, which seemed to be anathema to Twitter's former leaders. The layoffs and streamlining suggest that Dorsey is open to investor-friendly moves. Apparently, former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer thinks so; he just bought a 4% stake in the company.
Now, with Twitter poised to report third-quarter earnings after the Oct. 27 close, investors should position themselves for Twitter's stock to advance. The call will give Dorsey and Kordestani a megaphone to explain their approach and assuage Twitter's many doubters.
In fact, so many investors are aligned against Twitter that bearish short interest is at the highest level since October 2014. Short interest stands at about 46.1 million shares, up six million shares in the past two weeks. The short interest equals about three days of average trading volume.
If Dorsey chooses his words well on the conference call, he could incite a massive short-covering rally that would turn negative investor positioning into a powerful force for Twitter stock. We'd wager that Dorsey will deliver. If we're right, investors should buy stock and sell puts.
With the stock at $29.71, investors can sell Twitter's Jan. 26 put for $1.60.
If the stock is above the put strike price at expiration, investors keep the put premium. Should the stock fall below the put's strike price, they must buy shares or cover the put at a higher price. Purchasing the stock seems best. Twitter's value should increase from here.
WE'VE LONG ADMIRED Twitter, and have been perplexed by its insouciance in conveying its story and strategically monetizing the platform. The irony: Twitter revolutionized communication, but can't communicate. Now, with Dorsey leading Twitter, he and his team seem to be evolving to ensure that the company can get out of its own way, tell a strategic story, and execute.
Concerns that Twitter's job cuts signal a lack of ambition, or are somehow bad for the company, are silly. Its operations appeared bloated and needed to be recalibrated and optimized. Dorsey should explain why on the conference call.
President Lyndon Johnson may seem like the antithesis of technological chic, but he was expert at accomplishing complex goals. He liked to say that nothing convinces like conviction, which is a good mantra for Twitter's leaders. If Dorsey and his leadership team embrace their inner LBJ, and allow their intellectual intensity to emerge, the fog that has distracted so many people from understanding Twitter will burn away.
Wall Street may not totally get Twitter, but Jack Dorsey totally gets Wall Street. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

Gaming: Reviews
'Code Vein' is a gentler version of 'Dark Souls'
By Gieson Cacho - The Mercury News (TNS)
Players will encounter several different enemy types in "Code Vein" and they'll need different strategies to take them on.
Difficulty has always been a barrier for "Dark Souls." The franchise's intimidating reputation is a turn-off for gamers who don't see the joy in "getting good." That's a shame really because the series shines once players shatter those challenging roadblocks.
The game reveals its depth and transforms players as they learn the values of patience and persistence. Although Bandai Namco's latest project, "Code Vein," has a "Dark Souls"-type vibe, the developer tweaks the formula to make it more approachable. The team removes the rigidness of the systems and mitigates the punishing aspects of the modern classic.
All those changes give "Code Vein" a distinct identity that makes it easier to step into its grim post-apocalyptic world. The campaign takes place after the Great Collapse, a disaster spurred by enormous thorns that ripped apart the earth. Horrors emerged from the event and humanity had to create vampire-like beings called Revenants to combat them. They're essentially dead people who have been resurrected via a parasite.
Revenants have special abilities and can revive from mortal wounds, but that power comes at a cost: The sci-fi vampires lose their memories and also need blood to survive otherwise they'll devolve into monsters called the Lost. Amid this bleak environment, players take on the role of a special revenant who has the ability to absorb the talents of other vampires while also clearing the miasma poisoning the world.
The revenant joins up with a ragtag group that is trying to make the fractured world a better place. That involves venturing into dungeons and eliminating the miasma that limits travel and defeating the Lost and Horrors that patrol it.
Compared to "Dark Souls," the plot is straightforward as players delve into the mysteries of "Code Vein." They'll uncover the world's rich history and the murky past of the protagonist and the companions. The partners who venture with players is a major departure and one that makes the game less lonely.
A partner eases the difficulty and helps players bond with the supporting cast. The companions revive players when they lose their health and they add a dose of damage to tough boss fights. It makes the campaign manageable though "Code Vein" can still be difficult. Bosses still hit hard, and those foolish enough to button mash will quickly be frustrated.
The beauty in "Code Vein" is that it lets players adapt quickly to their situations. Because players can change the protagonist's class, they can switch roles depending on the enemy. In one fight, melee attacks would open up players to poison, so instead, attacking from a distance would be more effective. Other times, players will discover it's better to dodge a heavy-hitting boss rather than go toe to toe with it. They may even change their class to work better with a partner.
"Code Vein" offers plenty of opportunities to experiment with loadouts. Players can figure out which abilities work best with a class and companion. The number of options is overwhelming at first, but after venturing through a few dungeons, players will get a handle on what works best.
The only issue is that combat feels too cumbersome at times. Part of that comes from the complexity of the system, which includes light and heavy attacks on top of a parry and block moves. On top of that, players have to deal with a drain button that lets them gain Ichor, which is vital to using powers, and a focus meter that empowers the protagonist and opens up a launching move.
It's a lot to take in and players will find some moves superfluous in the heat of combat. At times, players can luck into a drain attack or their partner can carry them to victory. This removes the white-knuckle tension of boss fights, but it's a sacrifice "Code Vein" makes to push a feeling of collaboration and teamwork in the campaign.
That feeling of fellowship shows up in the partner banter as players explore the labyrinthine level design. They'll call out dangerous areas and offer advice in others. The developers succeed in giving players zones that requires different tactics. Dodging won't be smart along narrow cliff faces but it is more acceptable in wide-open spaces. Other times they're presented with big areas but they're shrouded in fog raising the specter of ambushes. For the most part, the maps are smartly designed and borrow much from the intertwining layout of "Dark Souls."
Although "Code Vein" borrows heavily from the genre-defining classic, the project does a lot to push a distinct identity. It's a perfect title for those curious about "Dark Souls" but didn't want to deal with the frustrating gameplay. "Code Vein" is more accommodating and features story with enough intrigue and a core mystery will keep players venturing into its challenging depths.

BkiUfyA5qhDCnXuZvkf7 | What is going on with the North American diet?
Our stomach is designed to stretch, it actually reads what we put into it by using stretch receptors. The stretch receptors are supposed to keep us from overeating, so why are we overeating? I believe it is because the foods we eat are so deficient in nutrients. The GMO foods and the processed foods are tricking our stomach stretch receptors into eating more and more. It's hard to feel satiated when the foods we eat are void of fiber and nutrients. Nature does not make mistakes - when we consume clean, whole foods that are loaded with nutrients and fibre ( I won't go into the bio and mechanical reasons here, but if you are interested just ask) our stretch receptors will receive the information that we are satisfied and full. A great reason to choose clean, whole foods over processed foods don't you think!
We consume to many calories and chemicals when we eat foods that are out of their natural state (processed foods are not natural). Eating a meal that consists of healthy fats, complex carbohydrates and vegetables from a garden not a box is the way to go. Fill up on veggies and your stomachs stretch receptors will do their job perfectly, you won't over eat, you'll increase your energy, you'll be in a good mood and you will probably want to go for a walk after a meal instead of a nap!
It's simple- if it doesn't grow in nature, don't eat it. Read labels and if you do not recognize the ingredients don't buy it. How you spend your money influences the products the grocery stores stock their shelves with. You got this!

KCM has so far produced 860mt copper against a target of 12,500 in June
A truck carrying copper from the Copperbelt
Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) Plc has so far only produced 860 metric tonnes of copper against a target of 12,500 in June.
And management of Konkola Copper Mines in liquidation has announced the appointment of Moses Chilambe as its Director at the Konkola Business Unit (KBU), on secondment from the ZCCM-IH.
According to data obtained by News Diggers!, KCM had only so far produced 860 metric tonnes of copper in the one month up to June 11, 2019, against a target of 12,500 metric tonnes.
"These are our production figures so far this month. Our target is 12,500 tonnes of copper per month. As of 11th June, we only had 860 tonnes," KCM data revealed.
In a breakdown of some of KCM's units, KBU produced 860 tonnes, while Nchanga Business Unit (NBU) and the Tailings Leach Plant in Chingola failed to churn out any tonnage of copper.
This is against a month-to-date budgeted target of 1,650 for KBU; 1,283 for NBU and 1,650 for the Tailings Leach Plant.
This follows unprecedented action taken by government last month, who swiftly took repossession of KCM following the Lusaka High Court's decision to appoint a provisional liquidator into possibly winding up the company, throwing the company's future into serious disarray.
And KCM management announced the appointment of Moses Chilambe as its Director at the KBU, on secondment from the ZCCM-IH.
"I am pleased to announce the appointment of Moses Chilambe as Director – KBU, on secondment from ZCCM-IH. In this role, Moses will oversee Konkola operations and provide leadership to the Konkola team. He will be supported by Konkola Business Exco and will report to the Chief Executive Officer," read a memo signed by KCM's CEO Christopher Sheppard.
According to the Zambia Chamber of Mines, current forecasts are that copper production, both concentrate and finished copper, will now be drastically lower than last year, and could be as much as 100,000 tonnes lower.
In a statement issued last month, the Chamber complained that the 2019 mining fiscal regime was distorting behaviour in that it was forcing miners to do the unthinkable – to cut production – because many mining entities cannot afford to continue producing as before.
Lumwana Mining Company equally pointed out in April, this year, that the 2019 mining fiscal regime, which introduced changes to the mineral royalty rate, was now a matter of life and death for the mining firm.

BkiUdD85qhDBUi61Tsnw | Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Provides Support for E3MC Program
A grant from the foundation supports the criminal justice education initiative.
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has provided a $30,000 grant to Manhattan College's Engaging, Empowering, Educating Means Change (E3MC) program, a religious studies course where traditional undergraduate students and incarcerated students take the course together within a correctional facility. The program is managed by Andrew Skotnicki, Ph.D., religious studies professor.
The Sloan Foundation funded E3MC as part of its New York City Program, created to support New York City-based projects that advance the Foundation's mission to support research and education in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and economics. The grant has allowed Manhattan College to hire a part-time social worker to work with the E3MC program, conducting program research and serving as a resource for current E3MC students.
"We are proud to support this important economic initiative that provides offenders with a realistic transition to civilian life through a college-level education, financial scholarship and mentorship," said Paula Olsiewski, Program Director for the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
The E3MC program encourages transformative learning for both student groups through a weekly course for a semester. The goals are for the outside students to learn about criminal justice and social concerns, and for the inside students to realize their potential to succeed in college.
One hundred and sixty colleges and universities in seven countries, including institutions in 34 states and the District of Columbia in the United States, have adopted similar programs to provide a postsecondary education to the incarcerated.
"To me this was much more than a religion course; it was an opportunity to learn and experience the reality of the criminal justice system, firsthand, from people within it," said Maya Tirone-Goehring '22. "I wanted to take the knowledge and experiences I gained and share it with my peers, so they'll also understand the injustices and many complexities the criminal justice system unfortunately possesses."
Schubert Coll is a former inmate who was part of the E3MC program while incarcerated at Rikers Island. After being released from Rikers Island, Coll lived in a shelter in the Bronx, then worked as a dispatcher in Brooklyn and took two additional classes at Manhattan College.
Now 51, married, and living and working in California, Coll credits the progress he's made in his life to Skotnicki and the E3MC program.
"What I enjoyed most about it was they gave us the opportunity to succeed," Coll explained. "That's why that class was so impactful to me. It put the drive in me to be a better human being."
The E3MC program has run for 15 semesters at various jails on Rikers Island. The program recently expanded to the Westchester County Jail.

BkiUfovxK6wB9lIs_POM | Q: React login using context API with private route In my react web app, login-logout functionality is implemented using context-API and hooks. Everything seems to work fine except for the fact that I have to click the 'Login' button twice to push the user to the dashboard.
The statement, return <Redirect to="/dashboard /> does not work, instead I have to use history.push('/dashboard'), which does not seems to be a better option to me while login.
Here is the working snippet :
https://codesandbox.io/s/wizardly-worker-mqkex?file=/src/AuthContext.js
Also, I need some suggestions for the best practise to fetch the logged user details in other components. Using localstorage or global context API state, which of them serves as the best option for the same ?
Any help to resolve this, appreciated :)
A: Well, it boils down to the simple fact that your context is not updated when you do your check. The simplest solution would be to remove the check for isLoggedIn and push the user to the Dashboard:
const postLogin = async (e) => {
e.preventDefault()
try {
await login()
props.history.push('/dashboard')
} catch (error) {
dispatch({
type: 'LOGIN_FAILURE',
payload: 'Unable to login'
})
}
}
Then throw an error in your login function when you don't get a 200 back:
const login = async () => {
const loginUser = { status: 200, id: '3654634565659abhdgh' }
if (loginUser.status === 200) {
dispatch({
type: 'LOGIN_SUCCESS',
payload: loginUser.id
})
} else {
throw new Error("Invalid Credentials")
}
}
As your login code is in a try catch block, the user won't get pushed to the Dashboard when the login fails.

About Veterans Memorial Park
Veterans Memorial Park was acquired by Boise Parks and Recreation in 1997 through a 25 year lease agreement between Boise City and the State of Idaho.
The department worked with Treasure Valley Chapter #1025 of the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA), to install a monument honoring 217 Idaho veterans that were lost in the Vietnam War. The monument was modeled after the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington D.C., and was installed and dedicated on May 30th, 2016.
The project was partially funded through a brick campaign, conducted by the VVA. If you're interested in purchasing a brick, visit Treasure Valley Chapter #1025.
Patriot Walk
Boise Parks and Recreation is proud to have worked with the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 63, to develop a Patriot Walk in Veterans Memorial Park. The Patriot Walk was built in honor of Idaho Veterans that have fought for our freedom, our State, and our great Nation.
Searchable Database
The brick pathway links the parking lot to the future location of the Veterans Memorial Plaza. The project has been funded via a capital campaign conducted by the VFW, which consists of selling memorial bricks to Idaho Veterans and their families.
If you are interested in purchasing a brick, Patriot Walk brick applications are available at VFW Post 63 located at 8931 West Ardene St, Boise, ID 83709 or call (208) 424-8387.

Forced migrants from the conflict-torn Donbas region are holding a demonstration in front of the Ukrainian government's building in Kiev, demanding social assistance, the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine reported Sunday.
KIEV, October 19 (RIA Novosti) - Forced migrants from the conflict-torn Donbas region are holding a demonstration in front of the Ukrainian government's building in Kiev, demanding social assistance, the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine reported Sunday.
According to the newspaper, protesters are calling for Kiev authorities to help them with basic needs, such as housing, food and clothing, after being forced to leave their homes in southeastern Ukraine.
Demonstrators have staged an installation with a folding bed, on which they have placed a wove paper pillow with the writing "as empty as your promises" and a blanket made up of unimplemented draft laws.
While houses for displaced Donbas residents are being built in the Kharkiv region, no such projects are carried out in the Ukrainian capital, protesters claim. In addition, demonstrators blame Kiev employment centers for failing to respond to the situation.
In April, Kiev launched a military operation in Ukraine's southeast in response to the local residents' refusal to recognize the new Ukrainian government that came to power as a result of a February coup.
According to Ukraine's State Emergency Service, over 320,000 have moved from the conflict-stricken Donbas region to other parts of the country. In September, UN Special Rapporteur Chaloka Beyani stated that the number of internally displaced persons in Ukraine could reach 900,000. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 2 | 1 |

Howie Vogts And His Football Legacy
Anyone who knew Howie Vogts understands this wasn't the way the iconic football coach was supposed to pass on. Not in a hospital bed with an IV tube, heart monitor and respirator hooked up to him, as he did on Saturday at the age of 80 at Mercy Medical Center in Rockville Centre.
No, after 56 years and a New York state-record 364 wins – all at Bethpage High School – it would have only been fitting if the giant of Long Island high school football expired during a game on the sideline. That's how he would have wanted it, anyway.
I spent enough time with him over the years to know that much. He was a man who could have long ago taken his pension and retired to Florida with his longtime partner, Marilyn Murphy. And he did.
But each August Murph and Howie would drive up I-95 in the comfort of their Lincoln Town Car and return to their Bethpage house in time for the start of football practice. Because Howie Vogts' real home was the sideline next to his boys.
"It's the most fruitful thing working and helping young people," Vogts once told me. "And each year you have a new group to work with."
Vogts never had children. Yet after 56 years of coaching football in this working-class Nassau town, an entire community looked at the coach with fatherly respect.
A former Golden Eagles player, Erwin Dill, has served as the associate head coach to take the load off Vogts. Dill has manned the sideline for more than a decade while Vogts, in declining health, sat on the bench. It might have made for an awkward relationship if not for the selflessness of the staff.
It was an arrangement an entire town embraced. People get pushed aside in life. You probably know someone who was shown the door before they were ready to leave, at work or elsewhere. People get old. They become expendable.
Not Vogts. He was treasured – and rightly so.
"It's Coach's team," Rich Solliday, a Bethpage resident whose son was an All-Long Island player in the 1990s, once told me. "Howie started the program and he should stay here to the day he dies."
Thank goodness, he did.
Vogts, a Sewanhaka and Adelphi graduate, started with a freshman team in 1952 and then christened the varsity one year later. He spent one season as an assistant coach at Michigan State in 1966, but returned to the Bethpage sideline next fall. That's where he's been ever since.
This was a Grumman town. The Lunar lander was built in Bethpage. Aerospace was the life blood of the community. But the jobs left long ago. The other source of town pride? Football, of course.
Bethpage won 35 regular-season league or conference crowns, 16 playoff titles and five Long Island championships. Vogts was the mastermind behind them all. Even in his later years, he would spend much of his weekdays sequestered in the film room breaking down the opposition. He had a keen football mind to the end.
The death certificate will note Vogts died of congestive heart failure. But anyone who knows him will tell you no one had a bigger heart. How else do you explain a lifetime of devotion to one town and his boys?
Note: Visiting Tuesday and Wednesday 2-5 and 7-9:30 p.m. at the Arthur F. White Funeral Home, 234 Broadway, Bethpage, NY 11714. A Memorial gathering will take place Thursday 11 a.m. at the Howard C. Vogts Football Field at Bethpage High School. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Bethpage Football Dad's Club. Bethpage High School, Stewart Avene, Bethpage, NY, 11714, in Care of the Bethpage Dad's Club.

Lacrosse: Gamblin's The Man
BUFFALO—The stands at Canisius College had already cleared out. Hell, his entire team was long gone too. Hicksville High School rising senior Brandon Gamblin didn't notice. He was locked in a duel with his own demons and an empty cage.
It was nearly 10 p.m. on Friday night, a half hour after one of the more physically and emotionally draining games of lacrosse Gamblin had ever played. A midfielder on the scholastic boys lacrosse team representing Long Island at the Empire State Games in Buffalo, favorite Long Island had just suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Central region.
The 8-7 defeat in sudden death overtime fell squarely on an offense which hardly possessed the ball in the first quarter and failed to score in the first 22:53 of the game. Sure, Gamblin did his part. He broke the ice with a powerful blast of a goal early in the third quarter to make it 5-1 and restore some much needed confidence.
But his shot was stopped by Central goalie Tyler White time and again in the second half. That's why Gamblin stayed behind on a shadowy turf field bathed in the soft glow of the light towers, taking shot after shot at an empty cage.
"I was angry," Gamblin said. "I felt we shouldn't have lost that game."
There's no arguing with the result. Gamblin, a UMass commitment, played with a vengeance the rest of the way. After pouring in six goals to down New York City on Saturday, Gamblin proved just as unstoppable in the gold medal game on Sunday. He scored four times as Long Island (5-1) erased a 4-2 halftime deficit to beat previously unbeaten Central, 7-6. With the win, Long Island became the first region to earn gold in five straight Empire State Games since boys lacrosse became a sport in 1984.
The Kyle Keenan-to-Gamblin connection was so fluid, you'd think they had been teammates for longer than one month. In the end, the relationships the Long Island scholastic boys lacrosse team built—starting with tryouts in June and continuing with 12 exhibition games in Maryland, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania – ended with a gold medal performance at the Empire State Games on Sunday in Buffalo.
"That was just unreal," West Islip rising senior midfielder Michael Sagl said. "They were just finding each other. Keenan is a great feeder. Gamblin is a great shooter. They were finally able to hook up and it was just fun to watch."
Keenan, an X attack, directed the offense with precision throughout the four-day tournament. That he had an uncanny ability to find fellow Smithtown West teammate James Pannell for open shots was no surprise. That he hooked up with Gamblin again and again spoke volumes of how well this team of all-stars meshed.
Keenan fed Gamblin for three of his four goals on Sunday.
"It's not like I was looking for him. He was just open," said Keenan, a Duke recruit. "He's got a nose for the goal. He wants to score whenever he's on the field. That's his personality."
It wouldn't have been possible without the stellar play of Connetquot goalie Zach Oliveri (10 saves), who was in every respect the defensive stopper of the tournament. FOGO Jake Froccaro, a Port Washington junior, also played an important role after missing a game with a mild concussion suffered against Central.
Even Oliveri couldn't stop Central the entire time. Long Island was victimized for goals twice in the final 1:14 of the first half when Ithaca's Riley Lasda spun off his defender and broke free in the box. His score was followed by Tom Grimm's quick strike to make it 4-2 Central with 43 seconds left. Grimm, a Syracuse commitment from Carthage, had the game-winner against Long Island on Friday.
The third quarter belonged to Long Island the entire tournament. This game was no exception. Pannell scored 1:39 into the third, and after pelting the Central goal with a barrage of shots, Garden City's Tom Gordon scored the equalizer on a feed from Keenan with 4:01 left in the third. Gamblin juked past his defender and fired home the go-ahead goal to make it 5-3 with 1:37 left.
Long Island kept up the pressure from there. Keenan found Gamblin charging toward the net and the Hicksville scorer did the rest to extend the lead to 6-4 with 10:52 to go.
Fayetteville-Manlius attack Ari Waffle scooped in the rebound past Oliveri to make it 6-5 with 7:40 left.
But the Keenan-to-Gamblin connection struck once more to keep Central at arm's length. Gamblin scored his 18th goal in six-game tournament – and fourth of the day – with 6:52 left.
"It was all a mindset game," Gamblin said. "We needed to start playing smart, take smart opportunities."
Jamesville-Dewitt's Alex Hatem scored his second goal of the day on a diving play at the net close the gap to 7-6 with 4:20 left.
Long Island's defense kept Central off balance from there. And after Central's Austin Curtis received a one-minute penalty for slashing, Keenan and Sachem North's Michael Andreassi held the ball and ran out the clock. All there was left to do was celebrate.

Kyle Keenan's Empire State Games Destiny
As the son of two coaches, Kyle Keenan emerged from the womb with the DNA of an athlete and the mentoring to make it happen. The rising senior at Smithtown West High School is considered one of the nation's top boys lacrosse players.
It comes as little wonder considering his father, Sean Keenan, is the Smithtown West boys lacrosse coach. He played for Long Island legend Joe Cuozzo at Ward Melville and was an All-American at Adelphi University.
"He put a stick in my hand when I was 2 years old," Kyle Keenan said. "We were always having a catch before dinner. He taught me to love lacrosse."
The 5-11, 160-pound attack capped this third varsity season with a Long Island-best 53 assists in the regular season and a run to the Suffolk Class A semifinals. He committed last fall to reigning national champion Duke.
And yet Keenan has another sports destiny just as deeply embedded.
Bridget Keenan played for the Long Island open women's soccer team at the 1992 Empire State Games in Albany. Twelve years after her first Empire experience, the '92 Games marked her final trip as a player. Unknown to her at the time, Keenan – an Adelphi grad who met her husband in college – was pregnant with her first child.
The Long Island women's soccer team earned a silver medal that summer. Kyle Keenan was born eight months later. Bridget Keenen coached the open women for three more summers then gave it up to focus on her growing family.
"She was a big soccer player at the Empire State Games and she won a lot of medals,'' Kyle Keenan said, proud of the family legacy.
All these years later, Kyle Keenan battled through a tryout process unlike anything in high school sports – he was among 712 teenagers to try out for the Long Island scholastic boys lacrosse team – for the right to play at the 2010 Empire State Games.
It was clearly important to him. He had heard the story of his mother playing pregnant at Empires too many times for it not to have an impact. So Keenan arrived early and was third in line to register for tryouts at Bay Shore High School. Yet the first day left him frazzled.
"A lot more kids. The games were short. I wasn't getting the ball. I didn't think I was on a good team,'' Keenan ticked off the issues. "So I didn't have a great first tryout."
Even still, Keenan's ability shone through and he made an impression. He sailed through four rounds of tryouts to earn a spot on the final 20-man roster and fulfill his destiny. Keenan was so anxious, he stayed up past 2 a.m. awaiting the congratulatory email, checking his iPod Touch every few minutes.
He'd chugged up and down the soccer field in his mother's belly, competing at the Empire State Games. The five-day, Olympic-style festival has been going strong since 1978. Now he's an Empire player himself, transforming the Games into a multigenerational celebration.
"I've heard about Empires since I was a little kid," Keenan said. "It's always been a dream of mine to be an Empire player. This is awesome. This is what I've wanted since I was a little kid."
The Long Island scholastic boys lacrosse team has already played nine games to prepare for the Empire State Games, which are in Buffalo from July 21-25. At the Tri-State Tournament in Princeton, N.J. on Saturday, Keenan scored twice against the Dukes – a travel team consisting of the best athletes from the Delaware Valley (Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania) – to help Long Island finish the day 4-0.
The Dukes featured several future Division I players, including fellow Blue Devils commitment Tanner Scott (Conestoga High School, Berwyn, Penn.). Two duo, along with Whitman midfielder Myles Jones, another Duke recruit, shared an embrace and some conversation afterward.
At this elite level, Keenan proved he belonged.
"I go to the cage hard, see the slide and there's always someone open,'' said Keenan, who looks to pass first. "That's my game. It's instinct."
No doubt. It's in the DNA.

Long Island's Blogging Sailor
As all great modern adventures certainly begin, John Almberg bought a sailboat on eBay.
It was a 23-foot wooden sloop located along the Florida Panhandle. Just one problem. How would Almberg, a father of four who lives in Huntington, get his prize back to Long Island? Shipping it would prove prohibitively expensive. So Almberg decided he would sail it home.
His 2,000 nautical mile odyssey began when he took possession of the "Blue Moon" in January. The rest is tirelessly chronicled on his blog: http://www.unlikelyboatbuilder.com/ He's also on Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnlikelyVoyager
Almberg, 57, grew up sailing with his father and uncle. But he abandoned ship life in pursuit of rowing for a decade. Crew – those pencil-thin missiles cutting through the water under oar power – became his passion.
Then he decided to slow down and cruise once more. Almberg and wife, Helena, began looking at sailboats. When a wooden sloop caught their eye in Mount Sinai Harbor, it gave him the blueprint for the perfect yacht.
In the mean time, he decided to build an 8-foot skiff in his garage, one plank at a time. Nicknamed "Cabin Boy," the small boat came together rib by rib and gave rise to his blog.
"I really didn't know anything about wooden boats," Almberg said by phone. "I just knew what fiberglass boat people tell each other, '[A wooden boat] is too much work.' I decided to build a small wooden boat to prove that I could take care of a larger wooden boat. I don't know what the logic behind that was, but I came to that conclusion."
After an exhaustive search, he finally found his yacht – for the right price – on eBay. His plan was coming together nicely.
"We were looking, but weren't really planning on buying then," Almberg said. "It's not that easy to find a good wooden boat."
The Tom Gilmer-designed Blue Moon yawl, anchored in the Steinhatchee River, needed superficial but extensive work. Its barnacled bottom was stripped, wormy wood replaced, imperfections sanded and sealed and finally the keel painted a two-tone blue. Almberg oversaw the restoration in Florida himself.
The Blue Moon, with Cabin Boy in tow, set sail for New York in April. And so Almberg's blog, which he originally started as a way to document his scratch build of a dinghy, turned into a true nautical adventure tale.
"I was surprised when people started reading it," said Almberg, who works in technology and web development and is currently home planning the next leg of his trip. "I guess that happens a lot with blogs. You don't realize how many people follow it. A lot of people fantasize about going to sea and being independent for a while."
The depth and detail of the blog draws readers in. His 500-mile shakedown cruise down the Gulf coast through the heart of Florida at Lake Okeechobee and out at Indiantown on the east coast makes for mesmerizing reading and the photos are magical.
"It was a very deserted stretch," Almberg said of the Okeechobee passage. "I maybe passed five boats the entire time. It's actually really scenic."
The next leg took him up the Intracoastal Waterway past St. Augustine to Jacksonville, where the Blue Moon and Cabin Boy are currently docked awaiting their captain's return.
Almberg, whose wife is Brazilian, is understandably a soccer fan. He'll resume his journey some time after the World Cup. The next stop on his voyage to Long Island? Myrtle Beach, S.C.
"I've always wanted to take a long sail like this and just never had the chance," Almberg said. "I have an amazing wife who said, 'Why don't you sail it home? Get it out of your system and go have some fun.'"
Fun indeed. Almberg hopes to reach Long Island by November, and his blog brings us all along for the ride.

Lacrosse: West Islip State of Mind
An SUV parked at Bay Shore High School last week was as obvious as a billboard. Scrawled on the rear window in blue and yellow paint: # 1 WI Lax NY State Champs. That's right, West Islip was in the house.
But these rock stars of boys lacrosse needed no introduction. West Islip won its second straight state Class A championship – and fourth in five seasons – with a 13-5 victory over western New York power Fairport on June 12, and claimed an even bigger prize in the process. The Lions were also crowned mythical national champs, according to LaxPower.com.
So the large contingent of West Islip players – freshmen, sophomores and juniors – cut an intimidating profile among the hundreds of fellow Suffolk lacrosse hopefuls who showed up at Bay Shore to try out for both the Long Island Showcase and the Olympic-style festival known as the Empire State Games.
"It's been exciting after winning a state championship,'' West Islip sophomore goaltender Jack Kelly said. "And then trying out for the Empire team? Real exciting."
When state budget concerns killed the Empire State Games a year ago, the Nassau and Suffolk coaches association scrambled to create the Long Island Showcase, all-star teams divided by grade and county. It was an instant hit.
One year later the two events are sharing resources. The coaches associations have always played a key role in selecting the Empire squad. Now the athletes who don't make the Empire team can still earn a spot on the Showcase roster. A record 712 teenagers showed up at tryouts last week at Syosset and Bay Shore high schools for the chance.
"I'm not too nervous,'' West Islip junior midfielder Mike Diggle said at a tryout on June 16th. "I don't know if I'll make it or not. But I don't think about the odds. You just focus on how well you can play."
Diggle didn't make the cut. But in Suffolk, 113 athletes were invited back for a second round of tryouts on Monday, June 21. Eight West Islip players were among them, including star goalie Kyle Turri and his backup, Kelly.
"We're close,'' Kelly said. "We respect each other and support each other. He's one. I'm two. I support him."
That's all well and good on the West Islip lacrosse field. But at Bay Shore on Monday, the two were rivals. The backup and the star were still very much alive in the quest for an Empire jersey.
No big deal. If West Islip is synonymous with anything over the last decade, it's competition. After dropping the season opener, the Lions won 21 in a row and dominated in the playoffs. That confidence was evident at tryouts.
"The first day was mass chaos. It's a lot of people," West Islip junior midfielder Mike Sagl said. "The second tryout – it's fun to play with guys who have top skills and see what you can do against them."
Despite a turf field which seemed to soak up the heat and wear down the players, the West Islip contingent made its presence felt. The blue and yellow helmets each donned were impossible to miss. They always seemed to be around the goal.
"I feel we have the edge," said Sagl, a two-year starter. "We just finished playing last week. All these other guys are a little rusty. It's a little tiring in one respect but pretty cool in another."
The field will be pared to the top 36 players in each county on Thursday, June 24 at 8:30 p.m. at Veterans Park in East Northport. The Empire State Games team, a 20-man roster with 10 alternates, will be announced the next day.
The Long Island squad goes for its fifth straight gold medal at the Empire State Games in Buffalo from July 21-25. Don't be surprised if one or more West Islip players are in the middle of it all. It's what they do.
Long Island's Mosaic Of Champions
It was a gold rush weekend for Long Island high school sports, the most eventful and manic three days of the entire school year. That's because state champions were crowned in baseball, boys lacrosse, girls lacrosse, Federation boys golf, girls golf, softball and track and field.
There were fantastical individual efforts. West Islip senior Nicky Galasso, the nation's No. 1 lacrosse player, finished his career with yet another state Class A championship as the Lions beat Fairport, 13-5. The game, played before the home crowd at Stony Brook's LaValle Stadium, saw Galasso score once and add six assists. The point total gave Galasso 500 in his high school career, breaking a 33-year-old Long Island record.
There were memorable group efforts. Look no further than the runners from Garden City. Senior Emily Menges ran the anchor leg for two winning relay teams at the state Federation track and field championships in Vestal. The foursome of Taylor Hennig, Katie O'Neill, Emma Gallagher and Menges won the 4 x 800-meter relay in 8 minutes, 49.88 seconds, a new state record. Just 40 minutes later, the Trojans 4 x 400 relay of Jenna DeAngelo, Michelle Rotondo, Catherine Cafaro and Menges also won.
And in some cases the venue itself was the star, such as Bethpage Black hosting the state Federation golf championship on Sunday. Sorry, Long Island. Upstate Brewster's Mike Miller won his third Federation title.
Then you had the Long Island sweep in girls lacrosse, with Farmingdale (Class A), Garden City (B) and Shoreham-Wading River (C) each crowned champs. It also marked Garden City's fifth title in a row – remarkable by any measure.
There were once-in-a-generation teams putting it all together to win. Lindenhurst baseball, riding a 21-game winning streak and its first county title since 1963, battered Guilderland, 15-2, to win the program's first state Class AA title in Binghamton. Senior first baseman Jon McGibbon, who signed with Clemson and was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 29th round, went 3-for-4 with two RBI.
Let's not forget the coaches. Great community feeder programs certainly help high school teams achieve. But nothing compares to having a passionate and knowledgeable coach in place. There is no greater marker for success.
Jim McGowan (profiled in Long Island Pulse magazine's May issue: http://bit.ly/a2gFxN) is exhibit A. The Bay Shore softball coach capped his 27th season at the helm by winning his seventh state championship on Saturday. The Marauders captured the state Class AA title by scratching out a run in the bottom of the seventh to beat Clarence in the semis, 3-2. Then Liz Weber shut out rival Cicero-North Syracuse, 4-0, in the final.
Weave it all together and what you have is a mosaic of champions from across the Island. They each found a way to come out on top in one unforgettable sports weekend.

Empire State Games Return
The Empire State Games are a rite of passage for New York athletes. The annual summertime Olympic-style festival has churned out fond memories and fine athletes since 1978. Famous alums include Mike Tyson and Kenny Anderson.
But when New York State Parks commissioner Carol Ash suspended the Games in April 2009, she pointed toward a problem which is sure to dog the event for the foreseeable future – money.
"Moving forward, it is difficult to foresee that the state, alone, will be in the position to continue to fund 90 percent of the cost of the overall program, which totals more than $3 million annually," Ash said last year of a program which includes Summer and Winter Games as well as Games For The Physically Challenged.
While the state is still grappling with a budget crunch, one year later the Empire State Games are back. The event draws 7,000 teenaged and adult athletes in 33 sports and resumes in Buffalo from July 21-25. The Long Island contingent is far from finalized.
Competition takes place in three age divisions: scholastic (ages 13-17), open (amateurs 18-or-older) and masters (18-and-up, depending on the sport). Tryouts are still being held this month. For a complete list, go to the Empire State Games web site.
"Last year was a real problem for us because it was on again off again,'' longtime Long Island region director Bob Kenney said. "Had it been terminated at a given time, it would have been OK. But I had to keep a staff ready. And breaking the chain of all those years was a shame. It was very upsetting to me."
Rebooting the process of building a contingent of athletes and coaches who will represent Long Island well at the Empire State Games has been challenging. But another issue has made these Games a tough sell.
An ESG in Buffalo has always been a problem for Kenney. It is as far from Long Island as you as you can get and still be in New York. Participants don't like the travel involved, and it's challenging for friends and family to follow. So the Long Island region has traditionally struggled to lure the best athletes to a Buffalo-based Games.
Then again, it beats another summer without the Empire State Games. And some sports are thriving. Scholastic boys lacrosse has 558 players signed up for 20 roster spots.
"Am I happy to get them back?" Kenney said. "Absolutely, I'm happy to get them back. And back in the same form they were in. But it's been tough."
One team sport was without a coach until May, according to Kenney. Another traditionally strong team has lacked enough registered participants, he said.
An added wrinkle was the decision to move from free registration to charging a $10 fee.
These Games will be under a microscope because everyone is scrambling for dollars during this recession. Buffalo-area businesses have pledged $1.1 million in cash and in-kind support. And more of the same will be needed to keep the Games as a summer tradition.
After all, some have argued that money spent on the Empire State Games might be better served keeping state parks open. When Gov. David Paterson last month closed 60 parks, the state legislature voted days later to keep all state parks, historic sites and campgrounds open with $11 million in emergency funding.
"I would agree,'' Kenney said. "If one was thinking rationally — why have some kids running around for five days when you could have a whole lot of other people running around in your parks? But the comparison financially — $1.2 million isn't going to open up a lot of parks."
The bottom line is Empire State Games are back — for now. So sign up to compete or plan a trip to Buffalo to take in this impressive sports fest. Who knows what the future holds?

Another championship for Huntington lacrosse
That was Zach Howell holding one corner of the national championship trophy on the field in Baltimore on Monday, mugging for the cameras. The Duke University junior attack was named to the NCAA All-Tournament team after a brilliant postseason capped off with his school crowned champs in men's lacrosse.
It was a familiar scene. Howell did the same years earlier at Huntington High School. He helped lead another Blue Devils squad to a 63-1 mark and state Class B championships in 2005 and '06 before losing as a senior in the 2007 state semifinals.
So he'd done this all before. But after scoring two goals and adding an assist as Duke beat Notre Dame in overtime, 6-5, Howell acknowledged this title was even more special.
"I'll cherish this because I understand now how much hard work it took to get here," Howell said by phone on Tuesday. "It's been three years of hard work for me. It was probably the best moment of my life."
Led by former Hofstra coach John Danowski, Duke knocked off ACC rival and top-ranked Virginia, 14-12, in a wild semifinal. Then the Blue Devils broke through to win their first national title in 14 NCAA Tournament appearances with the thriller over Notre Dame.
Howell was a key figure in each win. He laid the foundation growing up in Huntington. And he never forgot where he came from because he never could shake it. That Huntington squad also featured Rhamel and Shamel Bratton, who are each standouts at the University of Virginia. Stony Brook University senior goalie Charlie Paar helped guide the Seawolves to the NCAA quarterfinals.
In other words, the path to the 2010 NCAA title ran directly through Huntington. First the Brattons took down Stony Brook. Then Howell upset the Brattons in the semifinals.
The Bratton brothers led Huntington to a Suffolk title in basketball in 2006. And with Howell at quarterback, the threesome won a Long Island championship in football in 2005.
"It's great to see all my buddies from Huntington doing well in college and I'm really proud of those guys,'' said Howell, who has faced the Brattons seven times now. "We had great careers as high school players and were able to carry that forward."
Against Notre Dame, no sooner had C.J. Costabile scored off the opening faceoff of OT than Howell dropped his stick and jumped on his Duke teammate. They were quickly bowled over by the entire bench, which rushed onto the field in a wave that crashed into the Notre Dame goal.
"It was really disbelief," Howell said.
Now Howell, a history major, moves into a long off-season of celebration close to home. He will intern at HSBC Bank in New York City over the summer.
No doubt he'll also get together with a few of his former high school teammates. With each passing season, that Huntington lacrosse dynasty looks more and more special. They can reminisce about the glory days of years gone by. And they can take heart in the fact that the glory lives on.

BkiUbGk5qhLAB_0lxjHp | Those of you who know me know that I have many answers for the question of why to avoid social media like the plague.
I detest social media. I detest everything about it. I have never had a Facebook page, I've never had a Twitter. I had a college class at Penn State that required Tweeting or whatever you call it once a week. I told the professor I wasn't doing that and did a special assignment instead. I did have a LinkedIn profile my senior year at Penn State but I deleted it after it didn't help me find a job. Why to avoid social media begins here.
It's not that I'm deathly afraid of other people. It's that I really don't like them or the things they have to say and I refuse to have my life revolve around crap like that. Why to avoid social media starts with the fact that It does nothing to benefit me personally. For those of you considering why to avoid social media, I bet it would make your life a lot better.
Why to avoid social media? I don't want everyone, even my close family and friends, to know what I'm doing, where I've been, what piece of content I've recently written, etc. I really value my privacy and just want to keep to myself.
I also don't really care to see what others are doing. Their definition of privacy and my definition of privacy is not the same thing. I'd like to keep my definition of privacy over here, thank you very much.
Sometimes when I'm with friends, we decide to creep on our old high school classmates to see what they're up to (lame, I know. But who doesn't do that?) because my friends have Facebook and I don't.
Unfortunately, my ex and I began dating in middle school (and then proceeded to date again after that, and then one more time in adulthood before I finally realized what a dodo he was) so he falls into this category.
He has this hideous new haircut and a wife with my name, so it's weird. I hate seeing him. I don't want to see him. Why to avoid social media offers me the benefit of avoiding seeing him.
I have things to do. These including writing, taking care of animals, drinking tea, etc. I value my time and I like to use my time to do things that I deem worthy, like taking out the trash or gardening, you know?
I'd much rather be composting than seeing what you're doing or having you try to contact me in some meaningless way. I get more stuff done because I spend less time on dumb stuff like people who aren't really in my life.
I like my old-fashioned flip phone, and I like that it can make and receive phone calls. If you can't call, I'm not really interested in talking to you. It's as simple as that.
If you want to try and get in touch with me through social media, this means that you're more interested in snooping on my life and comparing it to your own rather than speaking to me and asking me how I'm doing. Why to avoid social media? To avoid people who don't really care and need you to make themselves feel better.
As a writer, I recognize the potential value in having social media for sharing my work and getting traffic to my site as well as to the sites of my clients.
This is indeed a huge thing that many clients are looking for—a large social media following. I don't have one. I'm honest about it. I don't care if you like me or follow me or re-tweet me or whatever.
You'll have to find another writer if this is something you're interested in because I'm not interested. Why to avoid social media? Avoid people who want to like you and want you to like them.
Why to avoid social media is a healthy question that many people should be considering. Just because I hate social media doesn't mean that you have to hate it. It does, however, mean that I'll be avoiding it. You can save time, not see your exes, stop comparing your life to other peoples', and gain privacy.
Get off that social media site and start living!

Afghanistan: Just walk away
By David Archibald
Our involvement in Afghanistan is untenable because the country is untenable. No matter what is done, Afghanistan will fail because of its galloping population growth.
When the U.S. became involved in 2001, the country had a population of 20.5 million. Now it is 34.4 million, up nearly 70 percent. In the intervening 16 years, the U.S. spent about one trillion dollars and 2,000 lives in stabilizing Afghanistan. All the stability and free food provided just created a perfect breeding environment for the natives.
The population growth rate has settled at 3.0 percent per annum. At that rate, in another 16 years, there will be 55.2 million Afghans, most of whom will need imported grain to keep body and soul together. The Afghani proclivity to breed will only be curbed by starvation. That will happen at some stage because, even if we wanted to underwrite that population expansion, getting the necessary quantity of food into the country will become more and more difficult. Perhaps that situation is beginning now. The U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization has reported that 8.4 million Afghans are in an acute food insecurity crisis.
The Afghan government budget is $8 to $10 billion per annum, of which it raises about $2 billion. The balance is mostly provided by the U.S. taxpayer. That is also untenable in the long term.
To put all this into context, let's revisit the recent history of Afghanistan, back to 2008. In the presidential campaign of that year, Barack Obama characterized Iraq as the "bad war" and Afghanistan as the "good war." It was easy to predict that President Obama would not direct a withdrawal because of what he had said in the 2008 campaign. And that meant that the can was kicked down the road for another eight years.
The withdrawal from Afghanistan will be physically difficult, because everyone knows that the place will collapse as soon as the U.S. leaves, and security for the last servicemen out will be problematic. In fact, it may have to be a fighting retreat. There is another major complication looming in that our next major war is likely to be with China, which will initiate proceedings with the maximum disruption and stress on the U.S. command structure. The airbase at Bagram is only 400 miles from the Chinese border. It and other bases with U.S. troops are likely to be bombed at the outset of a war. Not only are our outposts in Afghanistan a waste, but they will make us more vulnerable in a war we need to win.
Afghanistan will go back to being a hellhole run by the Taliban, who will go back to plotting attacks on us. But that is easily dealt with by the Trump policy of banning types of unpleasant people from entering the country. At least that is something that the president has tried to do so far. It will become imperative.

BkiUdps4eIZjyr7dvUH6 | Barriers to Effective Communication in Sales…and What to Do About It!
You cannot succeed in sales if you don't communicate clearly and persuasively. Although technology has improved dramatically, and sales professionals now have access to many different communication tools and devices, there still are many barriers to effective communication in sales. In fact, in some cases, the new technology has worsened communication between sellers and customers, because customers prefer to be contacted by email rather than meet with you in person.
Recognizing these barriers, and then either minimizing or eliminating the barriers that affect you the most, will help you to make more sales.
Which of these barriers to communication are hurting your sales efforts?
A salesperson who talks too much during an in-person sales call.
A rambling voice mail message that irritates the customer.
An email that is too lengthy, such that the customer either doesn't read all of it or only responds to some of the points.
Poor listening skills. Whether you are new to sales or a sales veteran, many salespeople simply don't listen well to the customer. Based on over 24 years as a sales training consultant, "listening skills" continue to be cited by sales managers as an important area of improvement for many salespeople.
The sales message is not tailored to the customer. If your sales message sounds scripted, whether in person or over the phone, it creates a negative impression. In addition, if you don't highlight the benefits – or, if you prefer, the "What's In It For Me" for the customer – your sales message will quickly become tuned out by the customer.
Over-use of email and under-use of face to face sales calls. We know that the world of selling has changed, and it is more difficult to get face time with customers. Email is a critical sales tool but, if you over-use it, you lose the opportunity to view the non-verbals of the customer. For important sales situations, strive to see the customer in person or, at worse, speak to the customer by phone.
Read more of STAR's communication skills for sales blogs. STAR Workshops that address the topic of communication in sales include Essential Selling Skills and our Online Series - Essential Selling Skills.
Do you recognize when NOT to communicate using email and social media?
The way people buy has changed so much over the past decade, that it stands to reason that the way people sell should be changing as well, right? Buyers are more educated, informed, and sophisticated, so the methods of communication used by sales professionals have to reflect this.
One thing that hasn't changed is the need for salespeople to excel at communication skills. Yet, the way in which we communicate has become increasingly complex and oftentimes, less personal. Today's sellers have to be consultative, and their means of communication need to be consultative as well. So, how do you communicate most effectively?
With the increasingly wide variety of modes of communication — ranging from face-to-face sales calls, telephone calls, email, and social media —many sellers rely too much on one communication method and under-utilize other methods.
•What is this customer's preferred mode of communication?
•How important is it to demonstrate to the customer that you are proficient at newer modes of communication, such as social media and text messaging, and don't rely only on older modes of communication?
•How urgent is it that the customer replies to you? For example, if the customer receives many emails each day, your urgent message may be overlooked, in which case a phone call or voice mail message would be more appropriate.
1.The lack of emotional and personal context makes written communication best-suited for the sharing of factual information. It is more difficult, if not impossible, to use an email or other written communication to ask questions to gather information from the customer, or demonstrate that you've listened to and understood the customer's point of view.
2.If you sense that you and/or the other person have misunderstood your written message, pick up the phone.
Knowing when to go back to old fashioned person to person communication may seem like common sense, but in our busy lives, we often take the shortcut. Shooting off the quick email saves time, but it may not always be the best method. Don't take the shortcut next time. Take the time to choose the right form of communication, given the situation and the customer. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUaXvxK1yAgWay2P5P | When it comes to theatre -- and let's face it, life, men have had (and continue to have) a great deal to say about the female experience. Male writers and directors have been prolific in their portrayal of women on stage and screen, varying from eye-wateringly patronising and reductive, to those from an improved feminist lens. But, regardless of some of the progress that has been made, do women routinely really want their challenges, hopes and stories told via a male perspective?
This question and reality of imbalance was why we founded Damsel Productions -- a theatre company devoted to bringing together all-female creative teams, to breathe life into scripts written by women and about women. Our plays represent the female experience in ways that are challenging, raw, witty, and occasionally bloody. We believe that authentic representations of women are wonderfully complex, and so our hope and company mission is to have some part in cultivating these truthful female characters and stories.
We're a relatively new company, who initially formed back in 2015 for our production of Ruby Rae Spiegel's Dry Land at Jermyn Street Theatre. This is piece about an illicit abortion in an American high school and the many challenges experienced by teenage girls living in small town Florida. We originally gave ourselves a very corporate sounding name, WHK Productions, but soon we realised the importance of highlighting our female led-drive, so we later changed it to Damsel.
As we progressed forward, our manifesto and mission only grew stronger. Our following productions after Dry Land, including Brute (Soho Theatre, 2016) and Fury (Soho Theatre, 2016) were all inextricably connected by the female characters at their centre. Dry Land having looked at female friendship in all its vulnerability and viciousness; Brute, told from the perspective of a troubled schoolgirl bully, and Fury -- a 'modern day Medea' -- centred on the unravelling of an isolated single mother living in South London. We discovered an appetite for art about female funk; for plays where real women sometimes behave gloriously badly, and feel anguish and euphoria and everything in between.
Since we first started, we've witnessed many positive industry-wide changes: Equal Representation for Actresses (ERA 50:50); the Royal Court's female heavy programming and their fierce and instant response to the #MeToo movement. Even in the more commercial sector we have seen the 'Time's Up' presence at the Oliviers, and productions such as O ur Ladies Of Perpetual Succour and Nina Raine's Consent transferring to the West End.
And yet, the need for our focus still feels just as relevant if complex. Though larger fringe theatres and beyond have shown interest in responding to the cries for balanced representations of women on and off stage, programming still tells a clear story. Main stages still are the usual dwelling for male playwrights, directors and casts, whilst female voices are still routinely planted into the downstairs or less 'risky' programming domains.
So, considering both the changes and still moments of lethargy for the cause, there is need for evolution and progress within our own company and how we tackle imbalance. We found that promoting and progressing with our own productions wasn't enough, and that we also wanted to empower as many other female voices as possible, especially recognising that feminist action is a commitment to achieving intersectionality and inclusion. When we believe our own voice is adequate, that is when things become problematic.
gining of the story of Lilith (Adam's first wife), the experiences of relocation and illness from the perspective of an older generation living in London, and a mother's experience of the urban African diaspora. By empowering other women to take ownership over their stories, we were able to weave a platform for them to create art and cultivate change.
With this in mind, it felt apt to produce our new play Grotty, by Izzy Tennyson, a dark, savage, and unflinching exploration of lesbian subculture in London, and a play that hopefully exposes audiences to a community they may have otherwise not encountered. Noticing a dearth of stories centred around the queer female experience in theatre, we brought Grotty as a smart and satirical exploration of this underrepresented part of the community .

BkiUdcM5qoTA3qq3mTWi | It turns out that Jim Munro is leaving the bookstore business after 50 years. That's not surprising, given that the article states that he is 84 years old. When asked whether he would advise anyone to follow him into the book business, he is quoted as saying "Don't do it." Essentially, he chalks that up to how difficult it is to run a physical bookstore, given the competition from online bookstores and ebooks.
He is passing the store on to four senior employees, starting this September. They will pay him rent for the 4500 square feet of space, but other than that, he is basically giving them the store and the inventory. The inventory is said to "hover around 30,000 books at any given time".
It is hard to say how to even evaluate an inventory of 30,000 print books these days. A decade or so in the past, they might have each been a potential $10 profit (or more) to a book seller, meaning at least a quarter million in value. But the way things are, they might not fetch even a small fraction of that on the open market.
It's the same for the goodwill of the business – in the not too distant past, the goodwill of a 50 year old going concern would have been worth a lot. Note that goodwill are all those intangibles that an established business has – steady customers, relationships with suppliers, reputation in the community and so forth. But when readers are transitioning to ebooks, all of those intangibles are worth a lot less than they used to be, even though the Munro name is now connected to the prestigious Nobel Prize in Literature (so now it will forever have a place in literary history).
· and an inventory that can satisfy the vast majority of niche interests (and is growing bigger and more varied every day)?
In my own hometown of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada we have seen one very prominent independent bookstore close down over the past year or so (late 2012 to be exact). That would be Greenwood's Books, a fixture in the popular Old Strathcona area of Edmonton since the late 1970's. This was partly precipitated by the death of one of the owners, who was the key business mind behind the store. The others (family) didn't think they could make a go of it without his business acumen. But it was probably no coincidence that they made that decision when they did – i.e. just as the ebook revolution was getting seriously underway.
The remaining big independent in Edmonton is Audrey's books, also long a fixture, in the downtown area. I can recall special ordering a computer book there in the mid-1980's. It was where you went for that sort of service back then (Audrey's or Greenwoods Books). The book was called "Simply Dbase II". Interestingly enough, it is still available on Amazon (as a used paperback) – a simple Google search was all it took to find that out (see the image below). It makes me wonder who would pay nearly fifty bucks for an old obsolete software manual, but there must be a market. Collectors maybe? It's amazing what people will collect.
I guess that tells you something about business disruption and technological transformation. In this case, Amazon is the preserver of one sort of heritage (the book Simply Dbase II, still available), though it might eventually be the cause of the loss of a different sort of heritage (the physical bookstore). That's the long tail in a nutshell (to mix metaphors).
I have been back to Audrey's on many occasions since then, of course. In fact, I was recently downtown to take a course in Social Media Analytics (that's worth a blog itself, someday soon), so I dropped into Audrey's over lunch one day. It is still there, on 108 Street and Jasper Avenue, at the same location and about the same size as ever.
· Audrey's Science Fiction: 8 sets of shelves X 4 shelves per set X 20 books per shelf = 640 SF books.
· Many of these were well known backlist titles: Prachett, Toklein, Jordan. There wasn't much that a novelty seeking SF reader would find intriguing.
· Compare that to Amazon, which had 163,000 SFF (Science Fiction and Fantasy) titles in July of 2014, of which 74,000 were Science Fiction.
· In one niche category alone, Romance – Science Fiction, the Amazon Kindle store had over 4,000 titles. It is difficult to see how any store could compete with that. Granted, that also makes it hard for writers to be discovered, but that's life in an open market.
· The lower floor of the store was completely devoted to children's books and toys. I would say at least half was games and plush toys. I can recall picking up a poetry anthology by Ted Hughes a few years earlier in that location.
· There was nothing like that now at Audrey's (that I could see, anyway), though I noted there were plenty of anthologies by Ted Hughes on the Amazon Kindle store today, many quite reasonably priced. To be fair, though, I didn't look very hard for the poetry section at Audrey's on that visit. Also, to be fair, it only took me a few seconds on the Amazon search engine to find dozens of his anthologies.
· I noticed that a lot of the bookshelves had books "cover out", rather than "spine out". That makes those books more prominent to the eye, but it also covers a possible shortage of inventory. You can make a smaller number of books seem to go further, if they are cover out.
· The store didn't look down at the heels or anything like that. It was clean and pleasant, and the staff seemed to be happy enough. So, you never know. They might be doing ok. I hope so – it is still nice to have a bookstore to drop into, when I am downtown.
Anyway, those were my latest field observations concerning the health of the print book store, with special emphasis on the independent bookstore. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUbDE4eIZijQpFYKNG | In my last posting "More about the rose embroidery for my friends hood .5 – the rose leaf embroidery or my first "silk shading" 🙂" I showed you how I established the foundation for the silk shading technique by creating an initial layer along the outer border of one of my rose leaves. And today we are going to take a look at the second step concerning the rose leaf and the above mentioned silk shading technique.
Wooohooo! I am very glad to say that I just finished another embroidered rose for my friends 14th century hood project! Recently I was quite busy with other projects – like sewing a hood for our beautiful Queen Oda and painting a shield for my husband for the Meridian Crown Tournament – but whenever I found some idle time inbetween, I continued working on the roses for my friends 14th century hood. And it finally paid off – though it seemed to take forever, the 5th rose is finally finished too!

BkiUbKQ5qrqCykKvZUOZ | Anne Working Overtime Ch. 17
AWO17. – Showdown
The last reflections of the sunset continued dancing all over the dark surface of Kamachooga Bay. It was an extraordinary silent evening, especially for this time of the year. Nothing to hear of the breakers that normally continued their endless work on the cliffs underneath.
"It's beautiful," Catherine murmured as she admired the magnificent view. Her glass was empty again, but Anne decided they had had enough for a while. She could already feel the first shots taking effect.
The woman looked beautiful herself too. The glittering reflections in the water framed her hair in a magical aura of glittering starburst as the mild breeze swept along caressing their hot bodies. She appeared to be completely relaxed now, and Anne congratulated herself with a successful effort on calming her down for the events to come. This definitely was the most difficult case she had been working on so far, and it once again triggered her competitive instinct. If possible at all, she would be the one to break this woman into the enjoyment of first-class oral service. Just the way she had done with so many wonderful ladies before. The challenge was totally different, of course, but that only made it the more interesting. Actually it was a bit strange that she hadn't faced this situation earlier. After all one shouldn't expect this city to be so packed with strong, self confident women who could take all of this so easily, just like a piccolo carrying the suitcase to their room! And then getting a five-dollar tip.
So, although she was caught a little bit off-guard by this lady's almost helpless insecurity, she still had a pretty good idea how to deal with it. How to be the submissive one, and at the same time lead the action. Wasn't it actually what she had always done? Only now it was much clearer than before; a more obvious thing that she took the action where she wanted it – and needed it.
Gently she lifted one arm to put it over Catherine's shoulder, and the other to take the hand resting on the marble rail, thus steering her attention away from the intense beauty of the fading sunset. Turning her to face her, she stepped up real close. Close enough for them to share a kiss – if the woman would feel like it. As she carefully let herself in closer, se mobilised all her senses to look for even the slightest sign of rejection. As she noticed an inconspicuous movement in her neck, she immediately held in and swiftly turned both of them around. Then, leading as the most experienced chevalier, she urged her forward with a firm hand on her back – just like the most natural thing – until they were inside the room again. Catherine came along like a mindless puppet, letting herself be guided all the way up to the corner section. Then she came around enough to grab Anne's hand and show her a place beside her on the couch. Really an impressive show of initiative!
"Ms. Davies, uh… Catherine, I'd love to pour you another drink, and fix some ice. But I do think it would be better to wait a little… uh… if you don't mind, of course!"
The woman looked at her a little confused; a confusion that immediately transformed to new uncertainty and clearly visible nervousness in her eyes.
"Uh… I mean… It would be good for your senses… I mean… the way you feel when…"
How the hell to put this in a way that wouldn't be another total scare-off for this helpless pussy!?! She had to fight her feeling of impatient frustration in order to stay firmly by her objective of breaking even this woman into orgasmic crumble!
The two women breathed heavily, tits rising and falling under their tops as they tried to come to terms with the awkwardness of the situation. For a short moment eyes glittered in complete silence as signals of nervousness and passion rushed back and forth between them. Anne knew that once again it was up to her to keep the conversation floating, and she again decided to take on the bold approach. Neck or nothing, as so many times before.
"So, Catherine, you've never been with a girl before?"
The woman shrugged and continued keeping up her appearance with a snap answer; "No, never!"
Anne felt an intense desire to scream out her 'thenwhythehellareyouhere'- point, but managed to stay cool and play the game the best she could from her side as well.
"You know, the time we had together in the introduction room up at Wesner made that quite clear." She sent her her most relaxing and reassuring look. "Nothing wrong about that. Nothing at all! The only difference between you and any of the other guests is that you're having your introduction now, and not like fifteen years ago. That is if you still would like to be introduced, of course!"
Before the woman managed to respond in any way, Anne moved a little closer, taking her hands into her own. Then she took a deep breath to overcome some faint signs of nervousness and looked her deep into the eyes.
"You don't have to answer that yet. Just try to relax. I thought internet casino I could tell you a little about how I experience this myself; what's in it for me." Anne followed Catherine's mimic carefully to try to find out how to proceed. "Would that be okay with you?"
The woman had stiffened slightly again as she took her hands, but visibly relaxed as Anne tried to sweet-talk her into the right mood. She had expected a meek nod at most, and was pleased to see Catherine getting grip again;
"Yes, please do! That's one of the things that really kept me puzzled from the very beginning."
Anne started talking with a low, almost torpid voice – more like a mumble – rubbing those tensed hands with caressing fingertips as she went along. She used Jean's words more or less directly, trying to avoid the most lecture-like terms as well as the most elaborate descriptions of 'higher unities of passion' and so on. She found it surprisingly difficult to talk about things she had been doing more or less continuously for almost a year. Until she realised that she actually never did talk about it before. Not really. Jean had done all the talking; Anne had handled the practical part. And there it wasn't easy to do much talking. So, consequently, it wasn't possible to entirely avoid using some of her tutor's terms.
The woman listened breathlessly. Eventually a faint tone of blushing red appeared on her cheeks. Especially when Anne touched in on her desire to please. How that was the essential thing to her. Didn't she even see an almost unnoticeable tendency of thighs rubbing against each other?
"So, with me it's all like a kind of keen hunger. Once you're adapted to the lifestyle, it's like you can't live without it. To me a classy woman is like a vintage wine – really; an experience of pleasure just as strong as the pleasure I give by enjoying her."
Catherine was noticeably flushed as she listened intensively. "And the women; they… uh… experience an orgasm from this? Just like with normal lovemaking?"
Anne felt a flush of resentful anger towards expressions like 'normal lovemaking.' What was that supposed to mean? Nothing wrong about what she meant, but there definitely could be other 'normal' ways too. Wonderful 'normal' ways. This lost woman would soon find out what that could be like.
Instead she managed to put up her sweetest smile; "If not, they've been faking it incredibly well, I'd say!" Then she got more serious again as she continued rubbing the agitated woman's trembling hands. "I've had women who had a little trouble relaxing in the beginning. For some it takes som training also on their part to be able to enjoy it properly. And there's always the question of finding the right way between any partners. After all we're all different." She held in for a moment; "But they pretty often seem to have the strongest orgasms when we find that right way!"
Catherine got silent. Now Anne was sure she rubbed her thighs together! Her sweet-talking was taking effect, no doubt about it. But still it would be important to proceed slowly. It would take almost nothing to set her all the way back again.
From this she was almost surprised as the lady all of a sudden looked up and said "You make it sound so exciting. I only wish it could be like that… also for me…"
A clear invitation to go on!
"But of course it is exciting! That's why they love doing it… why I love doing it too." She moved slightly closer, close enough to feel her partner's hot breath as she continued. "And why shouldn't it be like that also for you?"
The woman's gaze disappeared behind dropping eyelids. Her body language revealed an intense desire to escape out of the whole situation. Still she remained frozen to the spot. "I… don't know. It just feels like… I just can't believe it, somehow."
"You mean it sounds too good to be true, or something like that?" Anne put her hand on the woman's shoulder, prepared this time that she would jump lightly to her touch.
"Yes… yes, I think so."
There was a moment of silence until Anne decided to go on with her bold approach. Gently – as a signal of her intention – she put a light pressure on the hand on her partner's shoulder. "Why don't you sit back, and we try to find out? I mean… we go as far as you can do… and that's it. That's a promise. Agree?"
No answer. As Anne gradually increased the pressure on her shoulder, the woman resisted obstinately for another moment until she kind of gave way and let herself sink backward until she was half lying against the upholstered back. With that the skirt rucked quite a bit up her thighs, again giving Anne a flash of the beautiful legs hidden under that very unglamorous skirt. As she started stroking the silky skin with gently brushing fingertips, the woman's body tensed even more and almost inconspicuous ripples betrayed her burgeoning excitement. Was it growing into anticipation or repulse? Would she be able to overcome her inner resistance canlı poker oyna and let her go all the way? Anne was determined to find out, no matter the outcome.
Carefully, so the woman had plenty of time to know what was coming, she used her stroking finger to work the skirt upwards, gradually baring inch after inch of creamy soft skin. Until she got the first glimpse of delightful, dark curls in the deep shadow underneath.
She chose to try to maintain the eye-contact though, looking but not staring at the face in front of her. Trying to make it an invitation for contact rather than an insistence. The woman made a few helpless attempts, but wasn't able to lift her eyelids enough to meet her eyes. Instead Anne used the opportunity to admire more of the luscious body that her stroking hands were baring.
Ms. Davis was an extraordinary sexy woman! So incredibly much more than her completely colourless dressing signalled. And so contradictory to the stiff, tensed appearance and the apparent helplessness in intimate contact with other people. The shape of those silky thighs was right out breath taking. Sprouting voraciously out from under the skirt, and continuing down along elegantly curved calves and ankles that completed the image of something that to Anne was nothing but nearly flawless mature beauty. And as the exceptionally delicate pussy eventually appeared from out of the recess under the skirt, she felt her heart starting to race in a way that left her almost breathless. The pussy lips were full, soft and incredibly pouting, practically screaming for contact with a pair of enthusiastically kissing lips. The slit looked exceptionally long and juicy, surrounded with a well-trimmed stripe of luscious curls that emphasized all the cringes and crannies of the whole delightful scenery. It all gave Anne the feeling of something different. Something else than what she had seen before. Something she couldn't quite point out. Maybe more delightful than all other delights she had seen and kissed so far?
The lady had noticed that her most secret place was on clear display, and she stiffened even more, making Anne stop in mid-motion in her move to spread those lovely thighs a bit more. This should be done with uppermost gentleness and patience. Not one single bad move to spoil her efforts to overcome the woman's helpless nervousness.
Taking a short break to prepare the terrified lady, she then let herself slip ever so slowly down on the floor in front of the couch. Then waited another minute or so, just stroking the soft skin gently, before she bent down to plant a light, soft kiss right above one elegant knee-cap.
The reaction was slightly more convivial than anticipated, and Anne continued with renewed confidence, still remembering to control her burning impatience. Slowly she worked herself upwards, making a moist trail up along the thigh, and then over on the inside, homing in on the ultimate target, hoping to be welcomed in to the familiarity of warm, moist pussy even on this strange occasion.
And then they were there! She could feel the lips of her damp vulva kissing her back as she moved in to really embrace it with her own lips. She knew she still had to move carefully though, and stopped for a moment to let the enormity of the moment sink in.
Then, just as she moved to go a tiny step further, the lightning struck! Without warning – not even a single tremble or a hint of an evasive movement – the woman scrambled back up and literarily jumped to her feet. Suddenly she stood over her with the dishevelled hair covering most of her face, staring at her with a wild expression in her eyes. As Anne struggled to get to her feet too, Catherine backed away as though she should be facing the devil in person – still without uttering a single word. Her trembling hands opened and closed, clearly showing off her almost uncontrollable rage. Then her eyes suddenly overflowed, and she threw herself sideways down on the couch as she started crying almost hysterically.
For a moment Anne felt like getting down to try comforting her, but then she found it wiser to just get lost immediately and leave the woman to sort out her feelings alone. As the sobbing grew into despondent howls, she picked up a card with the number to her cell phone from her purse and put it on the table beside her. Then, without making a single sound, she got her jacked and sneaked out. There was nothing she could do by hanging around there anyway. Nobody but Catherine herself could figure out how to handle this emotional havoc; if she could go along with it at all.
Anne was a little nervous, and she almost jumped on her chair as Jean swept into her office the next morning. She was positive she already knew about her and Carol's 'defection', and was quite unsure about what to expect keeping in mind what Carol had told her. Jean was the boss, and Alison had to report to her also about these things, whether she wanted or not.
She thought she could poker oyna see som hint of read in her cheeks, but that was all. She was almost friendlier than usual, singing a cheerful 'hello' as she entered. Still Anne thought she could see this 'something' in those beautiful green eyes, or was it just her imagination?
The woman then disappeared into her own office, leaving a pretty gloomy air behind her. Anne started typing almost frantically. She was just finishing the short note on the progress with Ms. Davies, saying in plain words how unsuccessful their first meeting had been. She was just about to hit the 'send'- button as Jean came in again. Resolutely she strode over to sit down on the edge of her desk, still with this overly friendly expression on her face. But her body language clearly revealed other emotions roaming around right under that façade of relaxed confidence.
"I heard you had another meeting with Ms. Davies" she smiled, picking up a cigarette from her purse. As she went on to light it, Anne noticed an almost inconspicuous shudder on her hand.
"Whatever you feel about it, just forget it. I knew from the talk we had that she was very unsure about the whole thing." She blew a thin haze of smoke up in front of the tip of her nose. "I should have been more clear about it to you. You've been able to break the ice immediately with all the other clients I've been giving you, so I kind of got used to it. I mean – got used to you handling everything perfectly; just like that!"
Anne's heart pounded. She suddenly realized she had never seen her boss smoke before! Never ever. She even recalled her total denunciation of it as the public health worker she had been when they met back in her school. And there she was, holding her cigarette between lightly trembling fingers as she sat there on her desk. In addition she discovered she had problems capturing those otherwise so intense and penetrative green eyes. They fluttered back and forth, over her hands, along the tranquil wisp of smoke, somewhere up on the wall behind her; anywhere but right at her! Not the slightest hint of that usually so piercing green glance. Nothing.
And that was not all. The gloomy air had followed her into the office, and felt almost like a freezing draft around her. She wore her favourite perfume like usual, and the scent of it was as intoxicating as ever. But still something was disturbingly different.
It rolled in all over her as the conversation slowly faded, and a kind of embarrassing silence started roaring in her ears. All of a sudden it was like she had hardly ever known that woman at all! As though she was a total stranger. In the course of everyday work and training, they had drifted apart in a way, mentally as well as physically. Anne had had a growing understanding of Jean's obsession with the pecuniary-part of it all, and somehow she had led herself to believe that she could live with that, even though her focus was entirely on the personal – or rather emotional – level. Actually she couldn't care less about what kind of money it brought, just as long as she felt so tingling happy about what she was doing. Of course the money was good, and she had no reason to complain, although she knew that Jean and Pam Vasquez, and possibly Carol, kept the big bucks for themselves. Like any contemporary manager would do.
The fact that their interests drifted apart so much was something that Anne had taken as part of Jean's dominating nature. As such it didn't ring the alarm bells at all. And now, all of a sudden, it almost seemed like the gap between them was way too big ever to overcome. Totally unbridgeable. A wedge permanently parting them like they had never been anything but some briefly acquainted strangers. Had she just been using her all along? Had that been her cold-witted scheme all since the first time they met? And had it never been any more to it than that? For her?
The painful thoughts almost made her crumble. She felt her entire body getting uncomfortably covered with a thin layer of sweat as she sat there unsuccessfully looking for a relieving eye-contact.
Then, all of a sudden, the green eyes shot at her again, and the woman got to her feet as she reached out to grab Anne's hands. "Anne… come with me! Please come with me right away. I need you! I need you bad!!"
The girl was almost torn out of her chair and tipped precariously along into the hallway as the woman lead her briskly by the hand. All the way down to her office – and into it. Right inside the door she felt a hand on her shoulder peremptorily urging her down on her knees. Into the worshipping position that always used to feel so magnificently great. So entirely magical.
There was a frenzied ruffle of skirt-folds and nylons, until her head was grasped by unrelenting hands and hauled into the damp nest between the strong legs. The brazen voracity with which her mouth was possessed stunned her completely. So much that she needed a moment to get grip and open her mouth as the demanding pussy pressed against her lips to take possession of her. The voracious tug in her hair almost drove tears to her eyes before she was able to get her tongue working on the budding clitoral shaft audaciously demanding her full attention. | commoncrawl | 3 | 1 | 3 | 1 |

Hackers hacking the comment section of Google Docs
AddUnit
Google's Google Docs feature has become a fertile ground for hackers. The campaign, a checkpoint company, has discovered that hackers are abusing Google Docs' comment feature. Hackers are specifically targeting Outlook users.
If you get a notification that someone has mentioned you in a Google Docs comment, be very careful. By abusing this comment feature, attackers deliver phishing links.
Last October, it was reported that hackers could send malicious links using Google apps like Docs and Slides. The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a crowd of about 500.
Many are vulnerable to this attack because e-mails in the inbox do not show the sender's email address. Many hackers are interested in this medium as it can only be done by manning at the rate without even sharing the document.

BkiUbkg5qrqCyi1yFK1J | State of Connecticut v. Julie Amero is a court case in the 2000s concerning Internet privacy and DNS hijacking (specifically involving New.net). The defendant in the case, Julie Amero (born 1967), a substitute teacher, was previously convicted of four counts of risk of injury to a minor, or impairing the morals of a child, as the result of a computer that was infected with spyware and DNS hijacking software; the conviction was vacated on appeal.
Timeline
On October 19, 2004, Julie Amero was substituting for a seventh-grade language class at Kelly Middle School in Norwich, Connecticut. The teacher's computer was accessed by pupils while the regular teacher, Matthew Napp, was out of the room. When Amero took charge, the computer started showing pornographic images.
On January 5, 2007, Amero was convicted in Norwich Superior Court on four counts of risk of injury to a minor, or impairing the morals of a child. Her sentencing was delayed four times after her conviction, with both the prosecution and judge not satisfied that all aspects of the case had been assessed. The felony charges for which she was originally convicted carry a maximum prison sentence of 40 years.
On June 6, 2007, a New London superior court judge threw out the conviction of Amero, she was granted a new trial and entered a plea of not guilty.
On November 21, 2008, Julie Amero pleaded guilty to a single charge of disorderly conduct before Superior Court Judge Robert E. Young in Norwich., paying a US$100 charge and forfeiting her teaching credentials.
Controversy
The old computer, along with the school network, lacked up-to-date firewall or anti-spyware protection to prevent inappropriate pop-ups. The school used the Symantec WebNOT filter; however, it was not licensed for software updates and so did not block newly discovered pornographic websites.
Computer experts believe that spyware and malware programs hijacked the machine's browser so that it visited pornography sites without prompting and created the computer logs that helped convict Amero. According to the defense's expert witness, W. Herbert Horner, the defense at the first trial was not permitted to present prepared evidence in support of this theory. On March 6, 2007, a $2,400 advertisement appeared in the Hartford Courant signed by 28 computer science professors who said that they think that Amero could not have controlled the pornographic pop-ups. It was eventually discovered that the uncontrollable pop-ups were spawned by a Spyware program named NewDotNet which had been installed on October 14, 2004, 5 days prior to the alleged crime.
Norwich Police Detective Mark Lounsbury is the "computer forensics expert" who was used by the prosecution to help convict her. Lounsbury testified that he solely relied on ComputerCop Professional for his forensic analysis. By the company's own admission, the program is incapable of determining whether a site was visited intentionally or accidentally.
A paper in the 2007 Virus Bulletin Conference highlighted many other blunders. Amongst the most noteworthy, Detective Lounsbury stated in the trial that a red link proved that Amero had deliberately clicked on the link to visit a particular pornographic page. Huge blown up pictures were shown to the jury. In fact, forensic investigation showed that the link visited color for the browser was olive green. The link was colored red because there was a font tag on the page turning the link red. Further analysis of the cache on the machine and also of independent firewall logs showed that the page had never even been visited, let alone deliberately visited. Thus, one of the key pieces of prosecution evidence was actually completely technically incorrect.
An essay on the case by Nancy Willard (J.D.) at CSRIU describes Amero going for help when she was unable to prevent images popping up. At the original trial Detective Mark Lounsbury for the prosecution testified that the computer was never checked for the presence of malware. The case gained national attention when Alex Eckelberry, then president of Sunbelt Software, championed the case on his blog and led a team of forensic researchers to examine the trial testimony and the contents of the school computer's hard drive.

BkiUerjxK7Dgs_aSVeZs | Beating the benchmark with "boring tech"
Some private equity investment trusts have hundreds of holdings because they invest in other private equity funds that hold dozens of unlisted companies. But others are a lot more concentrated, for example HgCapital Trust, which only has exposure to 34 holdings. And these are mainly in one sector because its manager Hg focuses on unlisted technology and tech-enabled service businesses. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUc3s4ubng04WQtG2B | This past week I attended the visitation for Jordyn Morgan who had passed away at the tender age of four. We had produced a special for our Youth Baseball Midwest show (#jordystrong). Featuring this family and their young daughter Jordyn who had been suffering from an illness. Visitation started at 4:00 pm on a Thursday, I arrived about 4:30 pm. The line had already formed out the door of the visitation room into the lobby of the funeral home. I was there with the guys from Game 7 Baseball, Dave and Dave, along with Mike Cremer. When I left the funeral home that evening the line had gone out the front door of the funeral home and people were still coming.
In a day and age where we are constantly hearing stories of hatred, violence, racial tension,and political vitriol, it was comforting to see all these people from so many different backgrounds. These had come there that evening to pay their respects and give condolence to the Morgan family. The baseball community in St. Louis has been strong for as long as I can remember. You find out if it can be #jordystrong in these situations. I believe we need to look at this moment and truly think about why we have all these divisions and tensions in our society?
Many of the friends and family gathered there that evening were wearing their"#jordystrong" t-shirts. I was reflecting on her short life and the moment we had with her, I find her strength something to behold. Why is it that we can put aside our differences for the sake of a little girl with special needs? Yet we see no value in putting aside our differences to simply show love and care for the sake of one another?
I live my life by my faith and would hope that we can take a lesson from Jordyn. It seems like each of us has special needs! If we can simply see the need in others regardless of race,color, or creed. Can we put aside differences and genuinely care about one another as human beings? At least that is what I take away from getting to know Jordyn Morgan.
So sorry to hear of your loss. May God comfort you and may the memories of this precious little girl carry on through your testimony! God loves you! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUc2-6NNjgB0Ss1u_g | In one of the drawing lessons we were asked to draw something with a minimum of lines as fast as we could. While I was able to achieve acceptable results when I had plenty of time, sketching under time pressure turned out to be very difficult for me. The lines seemed very forced and the proportions turned out to be awful. When I voiced my frustration to Joe he recommended drawing with my left hand (I'm right handed). He said, I was too analytical about the whole process. Switching hands might help me to draw more intuitively. I did not really understand what this meant and of course I protested saying I could not draw with my left hand. I couldn't even write a single word, how could I draw anything even remotely good. To my complete surprise it did work. Initially I felt a little helpless. I was not sure how to start the drawing. I had to rethink the direction my hand needed to go. After a couple of helpless attempts I decided to draw without thinking about the outcome, somewhat like being on autopilot (if that makes sense) – and that actually worked. The lines became more spirited, somewhat swinging. It's hard to describe but it was a great experiment. I recommend you try it, it's fascinating.
I had so much fun with the sketches of the dancer that I tried my hand at sketching in ink. The line drawing I did again with my left hand and then (with my right hand) went over the lines with a brush and water – here it is.
And here one more drawing – same technic and medium – ink washed with water.
Although I was happy about my first attempt at drawing I realized very quickly that I needed proper instruction. There's a difference between copying what you see and really knowing what to do, why you do it, how to achieve a certain kind of effect etc. I wanted some lessons. One day in April I was strolling down a street in Edmonds and stopped at Cole Gallery. Looking around I came across a flyer advertising classes and workshops. One of them was "Experimenting with Drawing" with Joe Mac Kechnie. It was a very good class. I got a great overview over all the basics of drawing with pencil, charcoal and ink. Joe is a very knowledgable and patient teacher. We learned about light, shadows and values in drawings, negative space, line drawing and more. Here are three of my value/light studies.

One of my friends designs beautiful jewelry and creates fascinating oil paintings influenced by her Persian roots. One day, inspired by her passionate work I decided to try my hand at drawing.
I was very pleased with the result. At the same time I was completely surprised. I have no idea where this came from. I did not know that I was able to draw. Anyway, the more important discovery was that I felt really good. I had enjoyed the process very much and I decided to keep studying.
