Making the Case for Hebrew
By Lee Buckman
I’m a lover of Hebrew. I like languages in general, but especially Hebrew. Throughout my life, Hebrew was and is one of the primary ways that I identify as a Zionist. In fact, since my four sons were born (our oldest was born in 1989), I have spoken only Hebrew to them. My Hebrew still has an American accent. I make mistakes in grammar and syntax. I’m not proficient in street Hebrew and often use antiquated words that make Israelis cringe or laugh. Nevertheless, our sons have learned Hebrew (thanks also to their day school education).
My Eliezer ben Yehudah craziness about Hebrew wasn’t always received well by my kids. At times they responded in English, but they also knew that if they wanted something they needed to make the request in Hebrew. Now, our two sons who served in the IDF have authentic Israeli accents. The one who currently lives in Israel has near-native abilities and gently and respectfully corrects my Hebrew. The other two speak to me predominantly in Hebrew but mix in English and do well around Israelis.
As committed as I am to the Hebrew language, I must admit that we fight an uphill battle in the Diaspora to make the case for Hebrew. In the world today, more Jews speak English than Hebrew; English may now be the lingua franca of our people. To advance in academia in Israel, one must publish in English. Almost every classical text that was originally published in Hebrew is now available in English translation thus making the incentive to read texts “in the original” not so pressing.
Given this new reality, I wasn’t surprised to read the findings of a recent study conducted by Professors Jack Wertheimer and Alex Pomson about Hebrew language instruction in Jewish day schools. It is available online at: https://www.rosovconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Hebrew-for-What-AVI-CHAI-Foundation.pdf.
One of the most intriguing and disturbing findings is that older day school students typically perceive their Hebrew language skills to be poorer than younger students’ perceptions of their abilities. Older students also enjoy learning Hebrew less than do their younger peers.
Alex Pomson explains the results this way:
In the early phases of learning a language, the gains come quickly, and the motivation to learn comes from a sense of making progress. The satisfactions are intrinsic to the task. We thrill at being able to say things in a foreign tongue. At some point – sooner or later – we hit a wall. We enter what the Proficiency Method people call a “silent phase” where language learning advances less dramatically, and the intrinsic pleasures are not enough to sustain our language growth. We start to say less even if we understand more. And the question is what might it take for us to scale that wall or break through the silence.
It’s in that “silent phase,” when Hebrew takes a plunge, that students begin asking themselves why they are breaking their teeth on Hebrew. Some don’t hit a wall and progress is its own motivation. However, the vast majority of students need reason to “keep calm and carry on.”
Another study, conducted by the Consortium for Applied Studies in Jewish Education, offered some encouragement. The latter research found that kids who have relatives in Israel and who visit those relatives in Israel are more likely to gain proficiency in Hebrew and feel positive about their abilities. These findings have implications for students who don’t have relatives in Israel.
Here’s what Alex Pomson writes:
Educators need to provide students with relevant goals and reasons for persevering with this task. If teachers would truly only respond when students speak in Hebrew, that would provide reason to persist. If students know that they need Hebrew to communicate with peers in Israel – not just on a two-week trip but on an ongoing basis -that would be another reason. And if teachers would be ready to explore with students what they see as compelling reasons to study Hebrew, that would make a difference too.
I don’t put the responsibility on teachers alone. All of us need to make the case to our children why it’s worth learning Hebrew. It’s starts by asking ourselves the question: Why do we think it’s important to learn Hebrew? | <urn:uuid:d0ad5996-1e64-49ff-b2f9-35d348780dcd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.rosovconsulting.com/learning/news/making-case-hebrew/ | 2023-09-22T11:53:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.96794 | 918 |

One of the activities here in Florida that I most treasure is weekly Bible study. The group is like no other that I have been blessed to be in over the many years I’ve done so. As you know typically a Bible study group or Havurah is formed by those within faith communities who share the same religious beliefs. This group’s genesis, however, was quite unique.
For some of you new members of this distribution list, a little background:
A couple years ago my cousin who lives about five minutes away and is a big part of my presence here almost died from complications of the stem cell transplant procedure she had just undergone for treatment of multiple myeloma. On the very day after the transplant she developed pneumonia, sepsis, and MRSA, the last alone being a killer of those even with good immune systems let alone someone with no healthy cells yet since her new cells had just been implanted the day before so there had not yet been enough time for them to take hold.
Long story short, despite the hospital chaplain being called in, her family decided not to pull the plug. Her next months were spent on life support as she suffered from massive organ failures other than her heart and months in rehab, even having to learn how to swallow again. Constant prayer by literally thousands restored my cousin to amazing health given her illness. She now is teaching line dancing as before and is a walking medical miracle.
The roots of our particular Bible study were the result of a comment made while my cousin was over the worst. A Christian friend of hers said that when she heard of the likelihood of my cousin’s death she cried. My cousin was touched by that thought until the friend clarified that she was crying because my cousin, being a mainstream Jew, had not found Jesus so she wouldn’t go to Heaven.
So our group began, with my cousin’s goal being to show other Christians the continuing role of Judaism, and yet, the walk has been so much more. We weekly read the Brit Hadasha/Good News and eyes and hearts are opening. Our group consists of a variety of types of Protestants, a Ukrainian Catholic, a Greek Orthodox, even a Jehovah’s witness, my cousin, and me. My cousin is enthralled by the New Testament, this group study being the first time she’s read it. The weekly sessions have been amazing, and the meetings even continue throughout the year when I am back in New England. So many amazing stories. . . So much conversation leading to understanding. . .
As was the case this week. . .
Our group’s schedule of reading started last year with Luke and this year we are in Acts. The pace is just what it is, no particular timeframe for completion. The chapter in Acts we studied last Friday was the one describing Pentecost. As the Ukrainian Catholic participant finished reading, my cousin asked “Where is Pentecost in the Old Testament”? The group was silent. So I shared the amazing beauty of Pentecost, the day fifty (“pentekoste” from the Greek “fiftieth”) days after Easter, being celebrated on Shavuot, the Festival of Weeks, the day seven weeks (counting from the night before so 49 days) after Passover. What a divine plan. We discussed how the differences between the Roman and Jewish calendars have made Passover and Easter align less often in modern times, but could you imagine what it was like back then????
Was it mere coincidence that on that exact day of Shavuot thousands of years ago, thousands of Jews were making pilgrimage to Jerusalem to celebrate the giving of the Torah to the Jewish people and in that particular year the Holy Spirit/Ruach HaKodesh descended on all of those Jews making the pilgrimage as well as on all who had become followers of Yeshua from the Nations?? Our group had such an amazing time reliving that day, sharing details of our separate observances, Jew and Christian alike, the group not knowing until then these deeper connections. How amazing it was for each of us to learn from the other, better understanding our differences, kvelling about the similarities.
We were all aglow sharing and further pondering this spiritual magnificence. It was especially wonderful to see my cousin’s reaction, and also, to learn that even these Christians who fully embrace the importance of Judaism really had no knowledge of the deeper significance of that day. Dayenu. . . that would have been enough. . .
So it was with even deeper awe as just a couple days later on Sunday that I listened to the Daily Dvar. It was the same chapter and verse our group had just read in Acts on Friday!! I chatted with my cousin about the “coincidence”. Of all possible passages! Such Divine timing. She, too, was amazed, for it felt so clear that God is doing His part to meet us where we are, to remind us that He is in this walk with us, perhaps kvelling too.
Blessings on blessings. He brings us such joy, and unanticipated surprises demonstrating His intense love of us. Perhaps as we share with others the truth and reality of our Messiah Yeshua, as we share our love of our brothers and sisters, we show our great love of Him as well. | <urn:uuid:39e9e99c-69c0-4703-80bc-ae9cf9fe9df2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ruachisrael.com/not-just-coincidence/ | 2023-09-22T13:08:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.976379 | 1,120 |

During the session, a group of research management (Sharon Smit, Director Sustainable Society & Camilla Schaafsma, Funding Officer BSS) will ask all kinds of questions about your research and we will help you to build up a strategy as a pathway towards societal impact. In order do get this tailor-made support, we ask you do some preparations. You will get clear instructions for this, but in general you can expect to prepare a short pitch where you explain your research (and if you are up for it, how it creates societal impact) and to make a short list of possible end-users / audience / stakeholders that might be interested in your research.
Depending on the topics / disciplines or other factors, we will decide on how to group you, but in any case groups will not be bigger than three researchers during one session (of 1 hour). This means you can learn from us as well as from your colleagues.
Register by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.org and we will schedule a session for you (and your colleagues) on 9 June. | <urn:uuid:cb4fe1d2-8a09-4546-9126-da98c5bf3932> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.rug.nl/rudolf-agricola-school/news-and-events/events/impact_preparation_day | 2023-09-22T12:13:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.893092 | 291 |

Experienced Lawyers Serving Pasadena
Living in Pasadena
Pasadena sits within Los Angeles County and has an urban/suburban blend of neighborhoods and amenities. It’s home to many young professionals and families who want to live within driving distance of Los Angeles but still want the laid-back vibe of a smaller city. Pasadena is known for being one of the most beautiful cities on the west coast and has a foundation of volunteers who have planted trees, removed trash, and beautified the city for 60-plus years.
Just over 141,000 people call Pasadena home, and the population is exceptionally diverse with approximately 30% of Pasadena residents who are foreign-born. Many thriving cultural and ethnic communities contribute to Pasadena’s dining options, entertainment, education, cultural opportunities, and more. About 42% of Pasadena’s population is white, followed by 32% Hispanic, 15% Asian, and 10% Black.
The cost of living in Pasadena is very high at an index of 188 compared to the national average of 100. This means housing, food, utilities, and other necessities are quite expensive and may be out of reach for some people. Renting a home in Pasadena is even more expensive than in the Los Angeles area, which is known for its high rents.
Dangerous Roadways in the Pasadena Area
The Pasadena area has many dangerous roads with risks of accidents. The busiest roads that lead to LA, Long Beach, and other cities in the area pose constant dangers of catastrophic crashes at high speeds, but virtually any road can be the scene of a crash.
According to research by Pasadena’s Department of Transportation and other public sources, some of the most dangerous roads and intersections in Pasadena and Long Beach include:
- The Pacific Coast Highway (PCH)
- Lake Avenue at Orange Grove Boulevard
- Maple Street at Fair Oaks Avenue
- Lake Avenue at Corson Street
- Oak Knoll Avenue and Cordova Street
- Los Robles Avenue and Buckeye Street
- Lincoln Avenue and Mountain Street
- Washington Boulevard between Garfield Avenue and Lake Avenue
- Monterey Road to El Centro Avenue
- Arroyo Drive from Pasadena Avenue into the city of Pasadena
- Monterey Road from Pasadena Avenue heading to Hermon
- The Long Beach Traffic Circle, also known as the Los Alamitos Traffic Circle
- The Los Coyote Diagonal
- East Los Coyotes Diagonal and East Stearns Street
- East Stearns Street and Palo Verde Avenue
- Bay Shore Avenue at East 2nd Street

Which Types of Pasadena Cases Do You Handle?
Here at Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers, we serve Pasadena by helping people after serious personal injuries from road accidents, pedestrian accidents, and more. Wondering if we’re the right lawyers for you? Here’s a look at what we do.
If you walk in Pasadena, you know pedestrians face roads that are extremely busy with daily traffic. After a pedestrian injury, we can help you gather the evidence you need to make a persuasive insurance claim, negotiate a settlement, and hold the motorist accountable.
Are you a cyclist like we are? Many of us at Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers ride bikes to work and for fun. If you’re severely injured, we can help you start a bicycle accident claim for full and fair compensation.
After a Pasadena motorcycle collision, we can help you seek compensation for your medical bills, lost work, damage to your bike, and more. When it comes to motorcycle cases, we have a long track record of positive results for our clients.
You can hold Uber and its drivers responsible for accidents. If an Uber driver hurts you in the Pasadena area, or if you’re an Uber driver in an accident with other vehicles, reach out to us for knowledgeable and compassionate representation.
Whether you drive a car, pickup truck, van, SUV, or another type of vehicle, it’s likely that we can help you. We primarily handle severe accidents with serious injuries that occur on and near roadways, including commercial and delivery vehicles.
What if I’m Not Sure Whether I Have a Case?
You may be stuck because you’re wondering whether or not you have a case. Wonder no more! We can help you understand your options and decide how to move forward. When you are injured by another individual, corporation, or government entity, you are legally entitled to collect monetary compensation in an amount suitable to cover your expenses and damages.
Of course, your compensation is never guaranteed. You’ll have to make a strong case and stand up boldly to the other side if they put up a fight. That’s why you need help from a personal injury lawyer who gets results!
Generally speaking, someone from Pasadena has three options:
- Make a claim against the at-fault party’s insurance company
- Start a lawsuit in court
- Negotiate a fair private settlement out of court
Using the experience and wisdom of your personal injury lawyer, you can demonstrate the legitimacy of your injuries, show that someone was negligent, and request reimbursement for medical costs and other hardships. The team at Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers will help you stand up to difficult people and demand what you deserve.
We can help you maximize your compensation by making a case for your financial losses and damages related to your injuries. Sure, it’s possible to do this without a lawyer’s help, but we don’t advise it. You’re already trying to rest and heal from your injuries, so a lawyer serves the vital role of moving your case forward so you can let go of all the legal stress.
What Kind of Compensation Could I Recover?
The compensation you receive depends on the circumstances of your accident. In terms of what kind of compensation you could get, start by looking at how you’ve been hurt in the accident. Most injury cases only cover two categories of damages if you can prove them.
- Special damages: Your special damages may include car loss, property damage, medical bills, and lost earnings.
- General damages: Your general damages are more abstract and may include pain, inconvenience, distress, loss of hobbies, and loss of a lifestyle with your loved ones.
Make sure you talk to your lawyer about the losses you suffered that are impacting your life. The better case you can put together and the more evidence you have, the better chance you have at receiving high-value compensation.

It’s taken me a while to write this review, not because I lack motivation; rather, I wanted to make sure that my comments were thoughtful and accurately reflected my absolute satisfaction with Sally, Janai, and the entire team who devoted much time and attention to my case. In the same way that they took care to ensure that (1) my interests were at the forefront, (2) communicated with me regularly and accurately, and (3) demonstrated true concern and care for me as a person, I wanted to be sure that everyone knew how happy I am with the process and the results. I would unequivocally and resolutely recommend Sally!
We found Sally Morin and her team through Yelp and now after our case has been settled better than we could have ever imagined we are very happy to give her 5 stars just like everybody else does. Her whole team is beyond friendly and knowledgeable and they are just wonderful people, they have attention to detail and are very personal and prompt in their answers. They also did a great job of making the terminology of their trade understandable to us and they kept fighting for a good settlement instead of going for the easy route. They don’t have to have billboards or cheesy TV ads because they get more than enough work through referrals from clients like us.
So, I was in a pretty bad motorcycle accident that was clearly not my fault. Long story short, after months of dealing with multiple insurance companies and various law firms, we finally settled for an amount much larger than I would have ever dreamed. I attribute the success completely to Sally and her office. The process went smooth and relatively quickly (personal injury suits can take a long time), and she was extremely responsive and proactive. I’ve grown to really respect Sally and what she does after admittedly being skeptical of lawyers in general. Sally really cares about coming to a reasonable and beneficial result for her clients and not just for herself! | <urn:uuid:43a26bf4-d2e1-4bf3-a269-142c3151385e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.sallymorinlaw.com/cities-we-serve/pasadena/ | 2023-09-22T10:45:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.949967 | 1,923 |
Samsung is holding a surprise Galaxy Unpacked event on October 20, 2021. While the company didn't reveal precisely what it will unveil during the event, it has mentioned that it is “opening up new experiences for self-expression through technology.”
The upcoming Unpacked 2021 event will be held online, similar to the previous Unpacked 2021 events where Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Flip 3, and the Galaxy Z Fold 3. You can watch the event's live video stream on Samsung's YouTube channel on October 20, 2021, at 10 AM ET. The company will also live stream the event on its websites – Samsung.com and Samsung Newsroom.
It is rumored that the South Korean firm could unveil new colors for its Galaxy Z series smartphones. If this is true, this would be the first time the company is holding a separate event just for new color variants of existing products. The company could also announce special collaborations for its current and upcoming products during the Galaxy Unpacked Part 2 event. | <urn:uuid:f3c3bbc8-a88b-47fc-8e58-328fd41435a5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.sammobile.com/news/how-to-watch-samsung-galaxy-unpacked-2021-part-2/ | 2023-09-22T11:18:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.950988 | 206 |
Otoplasty means ear changing, and it is a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure used to enhance the ears, most commonly to pin back ears that stick out. It can also apply to the correction of Spock ears, Stahl’s ears, cupped ears, lop ears and even cauliflower ears. Today’s post discusses Otoplasty and and how ear aesthetics can be improved.
Otoplasty For Children
Otoplasty is performed for children when they reach age five. The reason for waiting is that by age five, the ear has reached 85% of its adult size, so a safe and predictable result is possible. Fortunately, teasing is less common before age five also.
For children, ear pinning is performed in an outpatient surgery center. The head remains wrapped for a week to protect the repair. Oral pain medication is available for postoperative discomfort which normally lasts a few days. Keeping the head elevated helps minimize swelling and speeds recovery
Doing surgery for a minor requires consent of the guardian, but since the surgery is on the child, the child has to agree that the ears are a problem. If the child is okay with their ears, surgery is not recommended, no matter how far they stick out. If the prominence of their ears becomes bothersome in the future, Otoplasty can always be performed.
Otoplasty For Adults
A second, and larger peak age for Ear Pinning is during young adulthood. The appearance of their ears has often been problematic since they were children, but cosmetic surgery may not have been in the family budget.
It is common for young adults to disguise the prominence of their ears with long hair. However, sometimes long hair is not an option, for example, when entering the workforce. Fortunately, with a relatively short procedure, Otoplasty can dramatically improve the appearance of prominent ears and eliminate the need to hide the ears.
Adult Otoplasty is similar to that for children, but since adults can be more cooperative during the procedure, local anesthesia with sedation is an adult option. Local anesthesia decreases postoperative nausea and drowsiness. The downside is that you are awake. You have to tolerate the administering of the local anesthesia and you will hear what I am doing during surgery. For many patients; however, these are not issues or concerns.
Other Ear Changing Procedures
Ear pinning is performed for prominent ears. Other Otoplasty procedures are performed for ears which are malformed. Some of the more common reasons are:
Traumatic Ear Injuries –
- Stretched out or Torn Earlobes
- Piercing Injuries
- Cauliflower Ears
- Prominent Ears
- Stahl’s Ears (Spock Ears)
- Cup Ears (Lop Ears)
Birth Defects –
The most common traumatic injury to the ear is a torn ear lobe. It can happen during a fight, while removing a sweater or even as the result of the long term wearing of earrings or gauges that stretch the earlobe to its breaking point.
For repair, the skin lining the split needs to be removed. Any excess skin is excised, and then the repair is made to create a normal appearing earlobe. There is always a resultant scar, but often it is a good scar, and preferable to a split earlobe.
Plastic surgeons are not fans of cartilage piercing because when things go badly, we have to fix them. The before and after pictures above are for a relatively minor piercing injury where the cartilage has grown (hypertrophied) in response to the chronic irritation of the bar placed through the ear. Just like in cases with the more extensive Cauliflower Ear Deformity, the excess cartilage is removed and the skin repaired within the fold of the edge of the ear (the helix).
Otoplasties are something we do regularly in my Walnut Creek Plastic Surgery center. In over 20 years of practice, I have fixed hundreds of ears for many happy patients. If you are considering cosmetic ear surgery, be certain to consult an experienced and board certified plastic surgeon. In the San Francisco Bay Area call (925) 943-6353 to schedule a private consultation appointment to learn if Otoplasty is right for you.Previous Post Next Post | <urn:uuid:124c0e8b-8de8-4095-aaae-8d1fcf833375> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.sanfranciscoplasticsurgeryblog.com/ear-pinning-otoplasty-for-prominent-ears/ | 2023-09-22T11:14:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.957928 | 901 |
Bedford County is located in the foothills of the pristine Allegheny Mountains within a 500-mile radius of more than 40 percent of the nation's population, less than three hours from Baltimore, Washington, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. The county has an exceptional transportation network with more Interstate Highway miles than any other county in Central Pennsylvania.
Small communities connected by fields, streams, and highways form the backbone of Bedford County, which was established in 1771, from parts of Cumberland County, named for the fort that tamed the area for the settlers to follow.
Bedford County, with its historic, beautiful countryside has the best of all worlds. It is a step back in time where family values grow from its rural heritage.

There are often times when siblings come to share property ownership without wishing to do so. When your sibling is looking to sell and you're looking to buy out your sibling's share, there's a simple way of doing so. With a quitclaim deed, your sibling can give up all ownership interest in the property, assigning ownership to you alone, or to you and anyone else with ownership rights to that particular piece of real estate. The quitclaim deed is quick to fill out, and with a witnessed signature, all of your sibling's rights over the property are relinquished. The hardest part of the entire process is agreeing to a price for the property.
Have the property professionally appraised so that both you and your sibling have an idea of the market value of the piece of real estate.
Video of the Day
Negotiate a buyout price that's acceptable to both of you. Half of the appraised value could be an acceptable amount for the buyout.
Exchange the agreed upon funds and fill out a quitclaim deed form that will remove your sibling from the property deed as an owner of the property. You can get a quitclaim form from your attorney's office or from an office supply store that carries legal forms.
Fill out the quitclaim deed form in either black or blue ink for readability. Under property location, use the street address of the property or describe the property location as fully as possible. You want to make sure that someone cannot mistake the description for any other property location. The legal description used in the land survey works, as well as plot and subdivision numbers.
List all owners of the property immediately before the transaction under the "Grantor" section. Your sibling's name will appear in this section as an owner before the completion of the deed.
List all owners after the transaction is completed under the "Grantee" section. Your sibling's name will not appear under this section, divesting him of ownership rights over the property. Make certain your name does appear, however, as the buyer, along with any others retaining partial ownership of the property.
Have all those listed under the "Grantor" section sign the form in front of a notary as a witness. This is all that's required in most states to change ownership; however, you may have to file the form with the county that the property resides in. Check with the county clerk to determine if this is a necessity and file accordingly.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kellogg’s® Vector®. All opinions are 100% mine.
If you’ve just begun to work out or have been working out for years, there is one thing I’m sure everyone can agree on…it can be insanely challenging to work out alone. I am certain that more than half of the people that spend big bucks on trainers and pricey group classes do so because they need the motivation and accountability, not because they don’t know what they are doing. Over the years I’ve learned some slightly tactical ways that not only help me avoid skipping solo workouts but also push me a bit more while doing them.
1. Find a Community Challenge:
Photography by JessBaumung.com
Challenges are good. Finding a community is also good. Combining both is great motivation. I’ve seen both the Adidas and Nike Women community execute this so well over the years. One of my favourite aspects of social media is that other people’s posts can easily inspire you. You can discover new workouts, learn new recipes and even share your own progress if you want. In case you missed it, I recently posted details regarding this summer’s Vector® Challenge which is perfect for those trying to stay on track with their solo workouts. The Vector® 21-day Challenge acts as a form of accountability in a way, as you must post an image of yourself on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook that shows how you push yourself physically or mentally using the hashtag #TasteVectory for 21 Days. Participating in the contest allows you to be eligible to receive Vector products delivered to your home for 21 days and also gives you an entry for the grand prize, a $1,000 fitness prize pack.
*You can find full contest details at the end of this post.
2. Listen to Audiobooks or a Podcast:
It is much more easier to get bored on a relaxed, easy run than it is when you have an intense interval or speed workout. Even for those who don’t love running to music, you may be surprised at how many more kms you’re able to run when you are entertained by an entertaining podcast or an audiobook.
3. Make Whatever You Do To Exercise Your Favourite Thing:
If you find an activity you love that counts as exercise, you are almost guaranteed to not miss a workout. And sorry loves, just because you love shopping – it unfortunately doesn’t count as cardio. I always giggle to myself when people say they hate running but have started doing it and find they struggle to stay motivated. Isn’t it a no-brainer that you will find every excuse in the book to get out of doing something you hate? Working out is a bit like a job. Find something you love and you will want to do it everyday. Just because everyone seems to be running or doing crossfit, don’t feel pressured to follow others. You may resonate more with rock climbing, kayaking, aerial/acro yoga or cycling.
4. Create Goals:
It’s not rocket science and definitely nothing new. When you work out day in and day out on your own with no coach or trainer to push you, it’s super easy to fall into a slump. Goals are something we should be setting for ourselves in all aspects of our lives and fitness should be of no exception. They can be big or small but in the best-case scenario, you are setting both. You may have a goal to do 10 pull-ups in a row without assistance or stopping or a goal of running a distance race (half-marathon or marathon). Whatever sounds fun and challenging to you and will make you proud of your accomplishment, set that as your target goal.
To be eligible for the Vector® Challenge and make sure your entry is counted, please make sure that you tag the appropriate brand handles (Instagram/Facebook @Vector and Twitter @Vector_Ca) and ensure your profile is “public” on the platform you are posting on. Winners for the grand and secondary prizes will be chosen at random from those properly using the hashtag for the 21 days. *Contest is open to Canadian residents only, excluding Quebec and ends September 5th.

Is Bitcoin Gemini the Best Online Broker for Cryptocurrency? Find Out in This Honest Review!
Bitcoin Gemini Review – Is it Scam? – Online Broker
Cryptocurrency has become increasingly popular in recent years, with more and more people looking to invest in digital assets. However, navigating the world of cryptocurrency can be challenging, especially for newcomers. Online brokers like Bitcoin Gemini aim to simplify the process by providing a user-friendly platform for buying, selling, and trading cryptocurrencies. In this review, we will take an in-depth look at Bitcoin Gemini, its features, and whether it is a legitimate and trustworthy online broker.
Background of Bitcoin Gemini
Bitcoin Gemini was founded in 2015 by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, who are well-known figures in the cryptocurrency industry. The platform is designed to provide a seamless and secure trading experience for users, with a focus on simplicity and ease of use. Since its launch, Bitcoin Gemini has gained a reputation for its robust security measures and wide range of supported cryptocurrencies.
How Bitcoin Gemini Works
To get started with Bitcoin Gemini, users need to go through a simple registration process and set up their account. This involves providing some basic personal information and verifying their identity. Once the account is set up, users can deposit funds into their account using various payment methods, including bank transfers and credit/debit cards. These funds can then be used to buy and sell cryptocurrencies on the platform.
Bitcoin Gemini offers a user-friendly trading interface that makes it easy to navigate and execute trades. The platform also provides users with a range of tools and indicators to help them analyze the market and make informed trading decisions. These include real-time price charts, order books, and trading volumes.
In terms of security, Bitcoin Gemini takes several measures to ensure the safety of user funds. The platform uses industry-standard encryption to protect user data and employs multi-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, Bitcoin Gemini keeps the majority of user funds in offline cold storage wallets, which are not connected to the internet and therefore less susceptible to hacking.
Pros and Cons of Bitcoin Gemini
Like any online broker, Bitcoin Gemini has its advantages and disadvantages. Here are some of the pros and cons of using this platform:
Advantages of using Bitcoin Gemini
Bitcoin Gemini is known for its intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it easy for beginners to navigate and use the platform. The trading interface is clean and well-designed, with all the necessary tools and information easily accessible.
Competitive fees and rates
Bitcoin Gemini offers competitive fees and rates compared to other online brokers. The platform charges a small fee for each trade executed, but the rates are generally lower than those of its competitors. Additionally, Bitcoin Gemini does not charge any deposit or withdrawal fees, which is a significant advantage for users.
Robust security measures
Security is a top priority for Bitcoin Gemini, and the platform takes several measures to ensure the safety of user funds. These include encryption of user data, multi-factor authentication, and the use of cold storage wallets for the majority of user funds.
Wide range of cryptocurrencies supported
Bitcoin Gemini supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and many others. This allows users to diversify their portfolios and take advantage of different investment opportunities.
Disadvantages of using Bitcoin Gemini
Limited customer support options
One of the main drawbacks of Bitcoin Gemini is its limited customer support options. The platform currently only offers email support, which can be slow and less efficient compared to live chat or phone support. This can be frustrating for users who require immediate assistance.
Relatively new platform
Bitcoin Gemini is a relatively new platform compared to some of its competitors. While the platform has gained a solid reputation in the cryptocurrency community, its track record is not as extensive as that of more established online brokers.
Lack of advanced trading features
Bitcoin Gemini is primarily designed for beginners and casual traders, which means it lacks some of the advanced trading features offered by other platforms. This may not be a disadvantage for all users, but more experienced traders may find the platform limiting in terms of their trading strategies.
Is Bitcoin Gemini a Scam?
One of the most common concerns when using an online broker is whether it is a scam or not. In the case of Bitcoin Gemini, there is no evidence to suggest that it is a scam. The platform has been operating since 2015 and has gained a solid reputation within the cryptocurrency community. Additionally, Bitcoin Gemini is regulated and compliant with relevant financial regulations.
Regulation and compliance are important factors to consider when choosing an online broker. Bitcoin Gemini operates in accordance with the laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The platform follows strict Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures to ensure the legitimacy of user accounts and prevent illicit activities.
User reviews and feedback are also important indicators of the trustworthiness of an online broker. Bitcoin Gemini has received generally positive reviews from users, with many praising the platform's user-friendly interface, security measures, and customer support. However, it is important to note that individual experiences may vary, and it is always recommended to do thorough research before investing.
To further assess the legitimacy of Bitcoin Gemini, it is helpful to compare it with other reputable online brokers. When compared to well-established platforms such as Coinbase and Binance, Bitcoin Gemini holds up well in terms of security measures, user experience, and the range of supported cryptocurrencies. While it may not offer as many advanced trading features as some of its competitors, it provides a solid and reliable platform for beginners and casual traders.
User Experience and Testimonials
To gain a better understanding of the user experience on Bitcoin Gemini, it is helpful to look at personal experiences and testimonials from satisfied users. Many users have reported a positive experience with the platform, praising its user-friendly interface, quick account setup process, and responsive customer support.
Testimonials from satisfied users highlight the ease of use and the high level of security provided by Bitcoin Gemini. Users appreciate the platform's intuitive design and the range of supported cryptocurrencies, which allows them to diversify their portfolios. Additionally, the platform's competitive fees and rates are often cited as a major advantage.
Analyzing user feedback from online forums and social media platforms reveals a generally positive sentiment towards Bitcoin Gemini. Users appreciate the platform's simplicity and ease of use, which makes it accessible to individuals with limited knowledge of cryptocurrency trading. However, some users have expressed frustration with the limited customer support options and the lack of advanced trading features.
When considering an online broker, it is important to compare it with other popular platforms in the market. Bitcoin Gemini competes with well-established platforms such as Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken. While all these platforms offer a similar service, there are some key differences that set Bitcoin Gemini apart.
One of the differentiating factors of Bitcoin Gemini is its user-friendly interface. The platform is designed to be accessible to beginners and casual traders, with a clean and intuitive design. This sets it apart from platforms like Binance, which can be overwhelming for newcomers.
In terms of pricing and fee structures, Bitcoin Gemini offers competitive rates compared to its competitors. The platform charges a small fee for each trade executed, but does not charge any deposit or withdrawal fees. This is a major advantage for users, as many other platforms charge high fees for transactions.
Another key differentiator for Bitcoin Gemini is the range of supported cryptocurrencies. The platform supports a wide variety of digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and many others. This allows users to diversify their portfolios and take advantage of different investment opportunities.
While Bitcoin Gemini may not offer as many advanced trading features as some of its competitors, it provides a solid and reliable platform for beginners and casual traders. The platform's user-friendly interface, competitive fees, and robust security measures make it an attractive choice for individuals looking to enter the world of cryptocurrency trading.
Security and Privacy
Security is a top concern for users when choosing an online broker. Bitcoin Gemini takes several measures to ensure the security of user funds and personal information. The platform uses industry-standard encryption to protect user data, ensuring that it is kept safe from unauthorized access.
Additionally, Bitcoin Gemini employs multi-factor authentication, which adds an extra layer of security to user accounts. This means that even if someone gains access to a user's username and password, they would still need an additional verification code to log in.
To further protect user funds, Bitcoin Gemini keeps the majority of user funds in offline cold storage wallets. These wallets are not connected to the internet, making them less susceptible to hacking and theft. The platform only keeps a small percentage of funds in online wallets for immediate trading purposes.
In terms of privacy, Bitcoin Gemini is compliant with relevant privacy regulations. The platform follows strict Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures to ensure the legitimacy of user accounts and prevent illicit activities. However, it is important to note that cryptocurrency transactions are not completely anonymous, as they are recorded on the blockchain and can be traced back to individual users.
Customer Support and Service
Customer support is an important aspect to consider when choosing an online broker. Bitcoin Gemini currently offers email support as the main channel for customer inquiries and issues. While this may be sufficient for some users, others may prefer more immediate support options such as live chat or phone support.
The responsiveness and efficiency of the Bitcoin Gemini support team can vary depending on the volume of inquiries. Users have reported mixed experiences with the support team, with some praising their helpfulness and prompt response, while others have expressed frustration with the lack of timely assistance.
Bitcoin Gemini also provides a frequently asked questions (FAQ) section and a knowledge base on its website. These resources cover a wide range of topics, from account setup to trading strategies, and can be helpful for users looking for quick answers to common questions.

In 2018 audiences around the world were introduced to A Quiet Place. In this horror/thriller humanity were besieged by a seemingly indestructible enemy. The film followed one family’s struggle to survive in this new world and it ended on a hopeful note. A Quiet Place Part II picks up almost immediately from the climax of the previous film and sees Evelyn (Emily Blunt) try to find her family a new safe harbour. With her new baby in tow as well as Marcus (Noah Jupe) and Regan (Millicent Simmonds) she comes across Emmett (Cillian Murphy) an old friend of the family.
Regan feeling galvanised by the new technology that she can weaponise against the creatures decides to head off and find a way to help everyone. With Marcus unable to follow his sister and Evelyn needing to take care of her new baby Emmett is tasked with bringing Regan back. He’s uncomfortable, broken and unsure he even wants to as he has suffered greatly during this event. However, he heads out to find Regan and from there the story kicks into gear.
A Quiet Place Part II is everything you want in a sequel. It expands on the elements that made its predecessor so fantastic as well as continuing the story in an organic fashion. I was immediately back with the Abbott family and their plight. Yes, they have found a way to combat the creatures however this new technology is useless if it dies with them.
And it very well could with Evelyn recovering from giving birth and the family still reeling from the death of Lee (John Krasinski) in the previous film.
A Quiet Place Part II, where a star is born
Thankfully this is where Regan steps up. She is an incredible force of nature. In A Quiet Place, we saw her learning to handle herself, her father trying to teach her lessons. In A Quiet Place Part II, she has taken full control of her life and these creatures are not ready for the person she has become. She is smart, resourceful and has learned from her past mistakes.
She is by no means perfect, making one or two mistakes as she sets out to save the world but she is a wonderfully fleshed out character that I couldn’t help root for. This is in no small part to the impressive performance from Simmonds. Her character goes through so much in this film and when there is a moment to breathe in the third act I found myself crying with her. It’s a credit to both the film and her as an actor that I was drawn so deeply into this world.
Simmonds may lead the pack in A Quiet Place Part II but the rest of the cast don’t rest on their laurels. Cillian Murphy’s Emmett is a version of Lee that lost everything. He’s broken, trusts no one and honestly doesn’t know why he still exists. Murphy gives an understated ut human portrayal of a man unsure of his purpose in life now that everything is gone. With the arrival of the Abbotts, there is a chance of something and against his own supposed better judgement he jumps headfirst to help them.
Blunt and Jupe are left in the slightly less interesting half of the story. They have to take care of the new arrival while making sure not to be killed by any random creatures that show up. If I had any issues with A Quiet Place Part II it would start here. Though both Blunt and Jupe are giving it socks with their performances the thrust of their story is to make sure they have enough supplies. Honestly, it felt like a video game. In lesser hands, it would drag the film down but thankfully there is still plenty of tension and action to interest audiences.
John Krasinski brings the same tricks to A Quiet Place Part II that made the first outing so memorable. He does find further ways to explore the avenues of fear that these creatures can open up. There are several scenes involving water in some shape that give the creatures a new dimension of terror.
There is also the opening fifteen minutes of the film. These fifteen minutes are intense, erratic and terrifying. They also reminded me of how impressively frightening these creatures are.
My biggest issue came in the shape of one expansion of this world, other parts of humanity and what they are doing or more precisely what they have become. The film touches on the idea that society has not faired too well after the arrival of these creatures. Apparently, we’ve devolved in morality and if I’m being honest this aspect of the film felt quite generic. Thankfully we don’t stick with this subplot too long and once again it offers fascinating action set pieces.
A Quiet Place Part II is a brilliant film. Between the phenomenal acting from its intimate cast and the once again stellar visual and audio choices by director John Krasinski this is a must-see. A Quiet Place Part II will be out in cinemas next week when they reopen.

The History of Cannabis Legalization in South Carolina and Its Current Status
South Carolina has a complex history when it comes to cannabis legalization. The state has been slow to embrace the benefits of medical marijuana, but recent legislation has opened up new possibilities for patients in need. Additionally, hemp farming has become a growing industry in South Carolina, with regulations that reflect the state’s unique approach to cannabis regulation.
Still, like several other remaining states, South Carolina does not afford legal access to medical marijuana for its residents – which is odd considering the high number of military veterans who reside there.
While it is true that South Carolina “legalized medical marijuana” in the early 1980s, experts say that law relies on federal legalization before it could ever take effect. The old law would also be especially limiting for what conditions a person would qualify to use medical marijuana.
How the One Way Forward Festival is Raising Awareness for the Benefits of Medical Cannabis
The One Way Forward Festival is an exciting event that aims to raise awareness about the benefits of medical cannabis. This cannabis awareness event is not only about having a good time, but also about educating people on the positive impact that cannabinoids can have on our everyday lives.
Many people are still unaware of the potential benefits that medical marijuana can offer, particularly in terms of managing chronic pain and other health conditions. Additionally, the festival aims to highlight how cannabis use can positively impact mental health. With more and more research being conducted into this area, it’s becoming increasingly clear that marijuana has potential as a treatment for a range of mental health issues including stress, anxiety, and PTSD.
Overall, the One Way Forward Festival is an important event for anyone interested in learning more about the benefits of medical cannabis use and how it can positively impact many lives.

South Carolina students outperformed the national average on both the SAT and Advanced Placement exams, according to the State Department of Education.
The overall mean SAT score was four points higher than the national mean at 1,058—out of a potential 1,600 on the recently redesigned test.
Forty-six percent of the class of 2017—or 19,605 students—took the redesigned SAT. Students scored eight points higher than their national peers on the reading and writing section, at 539, but the average math score was five points below the national rate at 518.
Scores range from 400 to 1,600—with the essay section being optional. Last year, under a different scoring system, the state averaged 1,446—out of 2,400—which fell 38 points from the national mean.
“Our continued success on these rigorous college and career readiness assessments is the result of the hard work and preparation of our students, parents, and educators,” State Superintendent Molly Spearman said in a statement.
Students exceeded the national average on eight out of the top ten subjects of Advanced Placement exams. At the same time, an additional 8.6 percent of students took the exams.
South Carolina students scoring three or higher on AP exams increased seven percent.
AP exam scores of three indicate a candidate who is qualified to take college-level courses. Scores of four indicate someone who is well-qualified, and a five indicates someone who is extremely well-qualified. Colleges and universities often grant class credit and use AP scores of three or more to place students in higher course levels.
Prior to the current school year, all students were required to take the ACT College Entrance Exam.
Starting this school year, all eleventh-grade students must be offered a college entrance assessment. In the twelfth grade, the State provides all students the opportunity to take or retake a college readiness assessment. | <urn:uuid:7c3ef27f-c044-462d-80ad-42ace8f251cb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.scetv.org/stories/2017/sat-and-ap-scores-edge-south-carolina | 2023-09-22T12:05:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.950858 | 392 |
Georgina Woody, age 71, went to heaven to be with her Lord and Savior on June 2, 2023, peacefully while surrounded by her family after a long, hard fought battle with cancer.
Georgina was born in Kalispell, Montana to Neil and Phyllis Bertelsen. She grew up and attended school in Libby with her 3 siblings Kathleen, Steven and Laurie. At a young age Georgina had a tender heart for animals. She was always bringing home stray or injured animals. She spent many days swimming and fishing in Flower Creek as a kid. She attended Libby High School where she participated in cheerleading. She worked at her family’s A&W where she was assigned as a carhop because cute girls brought in more customers.
After graduation she moved to Omak, Washington where she worked as a teacher’s aide and a lifeguard. She loved Omak and always made sure to return in the summer for the Omak Stampede. She moved back to Libby and met Dennis Woody in the summer of 1974. They were married in Reno, Nevada, on November 28, 1975, and together they raised their three children, Shannon, Alaena, and Jimmy. Dennis “Woody” and Georgina were opposites forming a perfect match, they complimented each other in all aspects of life.
Georgina enjoyed gardening, biking, skiing, softball, suntanning, traveling, attending rodeos and Christian rock/rap concerts, birthday parties, cooking meals for family gatherings and she especially loved the 4th of July and fireworks. She was no doubt a fun mom, grandma, aunt. and friend. She enjoyed having backyard barbeques with her family complete with bonfires and baseball games. She made everyone feel welcome in her home and she always made sure you were well taken care of.
Georgina worked at the Libby Public Schools as a paraprofessional where she found many new “grandchildren” and friends.
In 1994 Georgina started a support group in the basement of the old Assembly of God church. That little support group started with just her and one person, it then grew and grew and became her life’s passion. She ran Overcomers for almost 30 years faithfully and touched the lives of 1000s of people through that outreach. Every Monday you could count on seeing her leading worship, teaching bible study, and just being her happy uplifting self while spreading kindness and Jesus to all who attended. She was known for being a helping hand in a time of need, if she saw a need she would find a way to help. She was there with people loving them and supporting them in the depths of their trials and tribulations. She continued to lead Overcomers and support people up until her last days. She never gave up on anyone and always saw the best in people.
Georgina is preceded in death by her father Neil Bertelsen, her nephew, Steven Tyler Bertelsen, and many friends she lost throughout her life.
Georgina is survived by her loving husband Dennis Martin Woody, her children Shannon (Mariah) Woody, Jimmy (Brandi) Woody, and Alaena (Brent) Woody, all of Libby, her grandchildren, Kenny, Leera, Madisen, Ashlyn, Caden, Talan, Cy, Trishelle, James, Bella, Nolan, Evan, and Paisley. Her mother, Phyllis Bertelsen, of Kalispell, her sisters Kathleen (Yusef) Quidwai, of Omak, WA, Laurie (Mark) Salo, of Belgrade, MT, and her brother Steven (Deb) Bertelsen, of Libby, MT.
Georgina was a true example of living like Jesus did. Everyone who met her was blessed by her in some way. She left a lasting impact on this earth and we have no doubt that she is rejoicing in heaven.

Selling a home is easier now than in the darkest days of 2009, but not much. “For Sale” signs still litter yards across the country, fading in the sun. But out West, there's a glimmer of hope on that front—homes with solar photovoltaic panels installed on their roofs enjoy higher prices and stronger demand.
Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory looked at the prices of more than 70,000 homes sold throughout California between 2000 and 2009. Roughly 2,000 of those homes boasted photovoltaic systems for turning sunlight into electricity.
The average PV system boosted home prices by roughly $17,000. Real estate value is usually measured in dollars per square foot. But PV homes employ a new metric: dollars per watt. And PV homes enjoyed a premium of $4 to $6 per watt from installed photovoltaics.
Given that it costs an average of $5 per watt to install such a system, its good news that distributed generation trendsetters are at least making their money back. In fact, some in the vanguard of the clean energy revolution are even making a profit—and that may be the greatest spur to go solar yet. | <urn:uuid:a6d47526-4b4e-4fd0-9116-54eca46fc86d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/solar-power-boosts-home-sales-11-05-01/ | 2023-09-22T12:29:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.93765 | 251 |
We keep hearing concerns that tight existing home inventories and rising prices will shrink sales, but the latest data lays those worries to rest. October Existing Home Sales increased 2.0%, to a 5.48 million annual rate. Sales grew in every major region with single family homes leading the way, although condos/coops went up a bit too. Yes, sales are down (less than 1%) versus a year ago, but we're still seeing the effects of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, which sidelined home buyers. Once we start getting reports not colored by these storms, many expect an upward sales trend.
Nearly half the homes sold In October were on the market less than a month, indicating demand is there. This is due to increasing incomes, a strengthening economy, near historically low mortgage rates and a growing appetite for home ownership. Freddie Mac's November 2017 Outlook expects this to be the best year for housing in a decade, with 6.13 million homes sold and 1.2 million housing starts. Their chief economist said, "construction will gradually pick up, helping to supply more homes in inventory-starved markets." The Fed's latest data reveals home equity hit $13.9 trillion in mid-2017, an all-time high.
Review of Last Week
The holiday season kicked off nicely on Wall Street, with the three main indexes returning to their winning ways. The broadly-based S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq, in fact, finished Thanksgiving week at new all-time highs, while the Dow ended less than half a percent off its all-time record. There's no question stock prices are up both because a high percentage of corporate earnings reports are beating expectations, and because the economy appears to be in solid territory. The evidence? Higher wages, lower unemployment, high consumer confidence and rising home values.
Consumers are even continuing their big-ticket spending on things such as vehicles, appliances and home renovations. Last week's economic data pretty much surprised to the upside, including the Leading Economic Index (LEI), Existing Home Sales covered above, and University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment. Durable Goods Orders Excluding Transportation moved up too, 0.4% in October, following an upwardly revised 1.1% September gain. Some analysts expect household holiday spending to be up about 4% over last year. Believe it or not, online shoppers spent $1.52 billion, just on Thanksgiving Day!
The week ended with the Dow UP 0.9%, to 23558; the S&P 500 UP 0.9%, to 2602; and the Nasdaq UP 1.6%, to 6889.
In the bond market, Treasuries ended lower but other bonds inched ahead. The 30YR FNMA 4.0% bond we watch finished the week UP .05, at $104.78. In Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey for the week ending November 22, national average 30-year fixed mortgage rates dipped slightly. This put them below their year-ago level for the first time in 2017.
Where are interest rates headed?
This Week's Forecast
A week full of data will kick off with New Home Sales, forecast a but off for October, but after that, analysts expect a series of key "up" reads, including Pending Home Sales, Personal Spending, and Core PCE Prices, the Fed's favorite gauge of inflation. The Chicago PMI and the ISM Index, two important manufacturing measures, are also predicted to remain solidly in growth territory, well above 50.
The Week's Economic Indicator Calendar
Weaker than expected economic data tends to send bond prices up and interest rates down, while positive data points to lower bond prices and rising loan rates.

One of the ultimate goals in eCommerce is to attract online shoppers who are interested in what you have to offer. Getting them there is half the battle. The second half is converting these shoppers into paying customers. The way eCommerce product pages are laid out can play a huge role on whether potential shoppers will become paying shoppers. Poorly designed product pages, lack of features that will enhance the shopping experience of your visitors, can kill the sale and even worse, push shoppers off to a competing site.
In the following infographic, PNC Solutions has put together several stats and tips that are designed to help you create high converting eCommerce product pages. The text version of the infographic is below the image.
How To Create High Converting E-Commerce Product Pages
Enhance the Visual Impact
High Resolution Images
- 67% of online buyers judge product quality from images
- Images of real people get 35% higher response than stock images
Dynamic 360 Degrees View of the Product
- 360-degree images with zoom feature can increase conversions by 27%

- 10% increase in AVO is reported for customers who engage in chat before buying
Finalize With A/B Testing

A/B can increase conversions by 78% | <urn:uuid:b359b9e7-54ed-426d-a6ec-4c13d62485ab> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.searchrank.com/how-to-improve-conversion-rates-for-ecommerce-product-pages/ | 2023-09-22T11:32:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.930008 | 703 |
Refik Anadol is a media artist and director born in Istanbul, Turkey in 1985, who currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. He is a lecturer and visiting researcher at the University of California Los Angeles’ Department of Design Media Arts.
Anadol works primarily in the fields of site-specific public art and combines parametric data sculpture approach and live audiovisual performance with an immersive installation approach, particularly his works explore the space among digital and physical entities by creating a hybrid relationship between architecture and media arts.
As a media artist, designer and spatial thinker, Anadol is intrigued by the ways in which the transformation of the subject of contemporary culture requires rethinking of the new aesthetic, technique and dynamic perception of space. Anadol builds his works on the nomadic subject’s reaction to and interactions with unconventional spatial orientations. Embedding media arts into architecture, he questions the possibility of a postdigital architectural future in which there are no more non-digital realities. He invites the viewers to visualise alternative realities by presenting them the possibility of re-defining the functionalities of both interior and exterior architectural formations. Anadol’s work suggests that all spaces and facades have potentials to be utilised as the media artists’ canvases.
Anadol has received a number of awards, prizes and residencies for his work including, the Microsoft Research’s Best Vision Award, German Design Award, UCLA Art+Architecture Moss Award, University of California Institute for Research in the Arts Award, SEGD Global Design Award and Google’s Art and Machine Intelligence Artist Residency Award. His site-specific audiovisual performances have been presented internationally at Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles, US; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles US; International Digital Arts Biennial, Montreal, CA; Ars Electronica Festival, Linz, Austria, l’Usine, Genève, Switzerland; Arc De Triomf, Barcelona, ES; Zollverein, SANAA’s School of Design Building, Essen, DE; SantralIstanbul Contemporary Art Center, Istanbul, TK; Outdoor Vision Festival, SantaFe New Mexico, US; Istanbul Design Biennial, TK; Sydney City Art, AU; Lichtrouten, Lüdenscheid, DE. | <urn:uuid:4e3e4988-8855-4f8d-ba0b-7e0322cef9fb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.seditionart.com/refik_anadol | 2023-09-22T12:08:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.895058 | 486 |
My Summer Wishlist 2019
The sun is shining, the pool is calling, and summer is officially here!!! Here's a roundup of some of the bright and fun summer items I'm hoping to pick up soon. Hopefully you'll find some cute pieces to add to your own summer wardrobe too!
The reason I'm eyeing this yellow one above is because I just recently picked up this other Aerie Bathing Suit below and was so happy with the quality and fit. Plus, I've just really been appreciating their body positivity branding. I love that they have women of all shapes and sizes for models. There's just something comforting in not feeling the "well, I know I won't look like that in that swimsuit," that comes from seeing overly retouched and perfected images. A PLUS Aerie! I'm a big fan.
I think this top exudes "Summer at a beach in Mexico." I love the color!! (Pro tip: Sign up for the J.Crew Factory Rewards mentioned at the top of their site to get free shipping on everything!)
Can you tell I have a color crush?
***IMPORTANT*** J. Crew Factory sizing can run big. I highly recommend going down a size from your normal dress size in this one!
I just bought this in the red, and I love it so much, I'm thinking about getting it in yellow too. It's just so ridiculously comfy! JessaKae seriously makes some of my favorite dresses! Aaaand!!! I've got a discount code for y'all for any JessaKae orders: use "SELENASCHORKEN10" for 10% off your total!
I don't even know what came over me the last time I shopped; I so regret not picking this one up! Isn't it ADORABLE?!
I hope y'all enjoyed this week's wishlist roundup! Let me know if you end up picking any of these up. I'd love to know if you find some new favorite pieces.

Chess Team Success
On Monday 12 October, Sevenoaks School sent an A team (consisting of Rayan Melwani, Laurence Lam, Oge Flagg-Igbo and Harry Houillon) and a B team (consisting of Christiane Gontarek, Victor Poracchia, Vir Poddar and Luke Massey) to Wilson’s School for an ECF chess tournament.
Our A Team were placed second out of 22, scoring 13.5 points, with Harry Houillon winning an incredible 4/4 matches, Rayan winning 3.5/4 and Oge and Laurence both winning a respectable 3/4 points. Harry performed fantastically, playing accurately without making any errors, and his results reflect on his ability.
Our B Team placed 16th out of 22, however it was a very good experience for our younger players (Vir, Luke and Victor) who have just joined the chess team and are rapidly improving members, and will be the future of the chess team. | <urn:uuid:395d3b1e-c1df-41e6-96bc-b998cd178e6c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.sevenoaksschool.org/chess-team-success/ | 2023-09-22T12:54:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.953779 | 223 |

Additionally, you don’t need the worry of security issues. If you need help but need help, you can hire an expert developer. Employing a designer could add hundreds to thousands of dollars to the total expense.
WordPress is a vast knowledge base. You can access tutorials as well as videos and guides. There’s also a vast library of free plugins. This includes an SEO plugin, which optimizes your page titles and meta descriptions. Also, you can get plugins for photo editing, social media eCommerce, and much more.
There are also WordPress’s third-party themes. This offers you a greater choice than Weebly. Selecting a theme will assist you in creating a simple design and color scheme for your website.
Both platforms are capable of getting the job done, you’ll probably require a bit more assistance with WordPress. But, WordPress is a lot easier to learn. Additionally, it offers an extensive community of support. | <urn:uuid:47e78c8d-887e-4ce8-8f65-702aa4523d14> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.sflnc.org/weebly-seo-expert/ | 2023-09-22T10:29:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.953568 | 4,242 |

A judgment by Sir Andrew MacFarlane, President of the Family Division in England and Wales, includes a strong statement on how parental alienation should be considered in family court cases (copied below).
The judgment concerned an appeal against an order refusing a mother permission to seek reconsideration of findings of fact by an earlier judge. The mother’s barristers argued that judge should not have relied on evidence given by an ‘expert witness’ who had concluded that the children had been alienated against their father by their mother over a number of years. The judge ordered that the children move to live with the father with the mother getting only limited contact.
Sir Andrew’s judgment had been awaited by lawyers and other legal commentators expecting a ruling about whether the expert was qualified to give expert evidence as she was not a member of any of the regulatory bodies. In a careful judgment Sir Andrew rejected the appeal on a number of grounds citing other witness evidence including that of the parents. He said the earlier judge’s decision was sound regardless of the evidence of the disputed testimony. The arrangements for the children continue. They are reported to be thriving.
Sir Andrew included this highly significant note about Parental Alienation:
103. Before leaving this part of the appeal, one particular paragraph in the ACP [Association of Clinical Psychologists] skeleton argument deserves to be widely understood and, I would strongly urge, accepted:
‘Much like an allegation of domestic abuse; the decision about whether or not a parent has alienated a child is a question of fact for the Court to resolve and not a diagnosis that can or should be offered by a psychologist. For these purposes, the ACP-UK wishes to emphasise that “parental alienation” is not a syndrome capable of being diagnosed, but a process of manipulation of children perpetrated by one parent against the other through, what are termed as, “alienating behaviours”. It is, fundamentally, a question of fact.’
It is not the purpose of this judgment to go further into the topic of alienation. Most Family judges have, for some time, regarded the label of ‘parental alienation’, and the suggestion that there may be a diagnosable syndrome of that name, as being unhelpful. What is important, as with domestic abuse, is the particular behaviour that is found to have taken place within the individual family before the court, and the impact that that behaviour may have had on the relationship of a child with either or both of his/her parents. In this regard, the identification of ‘alienating behaviour’ should be the court’s focus, rather than any quest to determine whether the label ‘parental alienation’ can be applied. | <urn:uuid:6043a411-c3a7-4dfa-ae0b-286d97891c2a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.sharedparenting.scot/whether-or-not-a-parent-has-alienated-a-child-is-a-question-of-fact-not-a-diagnosis/ | 2023-09-22T11:01:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.969463 | 564 |
In the world of software development, creating visually appealing and user-friendly interfaces is paramount to the success of any application. The user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design play a crucial role in ensuring that software solutions are intuitive, engaging, and meet the needs of the end-users. In this blog, we will explore the importance of UI/UX design in software development and how it enhances the overall user experience. Let's dive in!
1. User-Centric Approach
UI/UX design takes a user-centric approach, focusing on understanding the needs, preferences, and behaviors of the target users. By conducting thorough user research, designers gain insights into user expectations and pain points. This knowledge guides the creation of interfaces that are intuitive, easy to navigate, and visually appealing. A user-centric approach ensures that software solutions are tailored to the specific needs of the target audience, resulting in higher user satisfaction and engagement.
2. Enhancing Usability and Accessibility
UI/UX design is instrumental in enhancing the usability and accessibility of software applications. Designers aim to create interfaces that are intuitive and easy to use, allowing users to accomplish tasks efficiently and without confusion. This involves organizing information logically, providing clear navigation, and implementing user-friendly controls. Additionally, UI/UX design considers accessibility principles, ensuring that the software can be used by individuals with disabilities or impairments. By prioritizing usability and accessibility, software solutions become inclusive and available to a wider audience.
3. Visual Appeal and Branding
The visual appeal of software interfaces significantly impacts user perception and engagement. UI/UX design focuses on creating visually pleasing interfaces that align with the branding and aesthetics of the software. By employing proper color schemes, typography, imagery, and visual hierarchy, designers create engaging and memorable experiences. Consistent branding elements throughout the interface also reinforce brand recognition and loyalty. Visual appeal plays a vital role in capturing user attention, establishing a positive impression, and fostering a sense of trust and professionalism.
4. Streamlining Workflows and Efficiency
Efficient workflows are crucial for software applications that involve complex tasks or processes. UI/UX design plays a key role in streamlining workflows and ensuring that users can accomplish their objectives with ease. By analyzing user journeys, designers can identify bottlenecks, eliminate unnecessary steps, and simplify complex interactions. Well-designed interfaces guide users through tasks, provide clear feedback, and reduce cognitive load. This leads to increased efficiency, productivity, and user satisfaction.
5. Minimizing Errors and Support Needs
Effective UI/UX design helps minimize user errors and the need for extensive customer support. Clear and intuitive interfaces reduce the likelihood of users making mistakes or encountering difficulties. Well-placed cues, informative error messages, and helpful tooltips guide users in completing tasks correctly. By proactively addressing common user challenges, UI/UX design reduces the burden on customer support teams and enhances the overall user experience.
6. Continuous Improvement and Iterative Design
UI/UX design is an iterative process that involves continuous improvement based on user feedback and insights. Through user testing, feedback collection, and data analysis, designers can identify areas for improvement and refine the interface accordingly. This iterative design approach ensures that software solutions evolve and adapt to changing user needs and preferences. By embracing continuous improvement, UI/UX design drives innovation and keeps software solutions relevant and competitive.
In conclusion, UI/UX design plays a vital role in software development by focusing on the user, enhancing usability, providing visual appeal, streamlining workflows, minimizing errors, and enabling continuous improvement.

Understanding Exposure has taught generations of photographers how to shoot the images they want by demystifying the complex concepts of exposure in photography. In this newly updated edition, veteran photographer Bryan Peterson explains the fundamentals of light, aperture, and shutter speed and how they interact with and influence one another. With an emphasis on finding the right exposure even in tricky situations, Understanding Exposure shows you how to get (or lose) sharpness and contrast in images, freeze action, and take the best meter readings, while also exploring filters, flash, and light.
With all new images, as well as an expanded section on flash, tips for using colored gels, and advice on shooting star trails, this revised edition will clarify exposure for photographers of all levels.
“Of all the photography books I have on my bookshelf, and believe me, I have quite a few, this is the one that stands out as the most helpful. It is the first one I recommend to new photographers and it is one that I refer to when I need a bit of a refresher. It will take the fear out of moving from the point and shoot modes to the creative modes of your camera.”

SQL Always Encrypted can leverage Azure Key Vault for the encryption of sensitive data within an Azure SQL Database. The question may arise, how do I grant or deny access for the encryption and decryption of this data? This article shows how to leverage an Azure Key Vault to encrypt sensitive specific sensitive column data and how you can provide access to specific users or applications the ability to decrypt this data.
An excerpt from the official documentation as to what Always Encrypted is:
Always Encrypted is a feature designed to protect sensitive data, such as credit card numbers or national identification numbers (for example, U.S. social security numbers), stored in Azure SQL Database or SQL Server databases. Always Encrypted allows clients to encrypt sensitive data inside client applications and never reveal the encryption keys to the Database Engine (SQL Database or SQL Server). As a result, Always Encrypted provides a separation between those who own the data and can view it, and those who manage the data but should have no access. By ensuring on-premises database administrators, cloud database operators, or other high-privileged unauthorized users, can’t access the encrypted data, Always Encrypted enables customers to confidently store sensitive data outside of their direct control. This allows organizations to store their data in Azure, and enable delegation of on-premises database administration to third parties, or to reduce security clearance requirements for their own DBA staff.
The following items are needed:
- Azure SQL Server (PaaS) set up initially for SQL Login
- Azure SQL Database (PaaS)
- Azure Key Vault
- A Windows machine with SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) installed. I will be using an Azure Virtual Machine with these tools installed. You can download the SSMS tools here. At the time of writing this article, I am using Release 18.4 of SSMS.
- Two Azure AD Accounts. One which would be the Azure AD Account of the SQL Administrator and one would be another Azure AD Account that will initially be denied access for column decryption and then later granted access to decrypt.
Creating Test Server & Database
I’m not going to go through the entire Step-By-Step on creating an Azure SQL Server & Database as it is out of scope for the purpose of this article. But I will outline the configuration options I am choosing when creating the Server and the Database.
When creating the SQL Server under the Basics tab of “Create SQL Database”, I chose the following options:
When creating an Azure SQL Database, there is an option to use a Sample Database. When you get to the Additional settings page, choose Sample for “Use existing data” and it will load AdventureWorksLT as the sample database.
After your SQL Server and SQL Database have been created, you can navigate to your SQL Server, click on SQL Databases, and you should see your database’s status be displayed as Online.
Connecting to Test Server & Database
With SSMS launched, let’s connect to our Azure SQL Server & Database. During the creation of the SQL Server & Database, we specified the username and password which will be the credentials we use to connect using the SSMS tools. We also see the Server name we will use to connect when we go to our SQL Server in the Azure Portal.
We will use these credentials and SQL Server FQDN to connect to our SQL Server within SSMS.
After successfully connecting, we can see all the SQL Tables from AdventureWorksLT.
Right-Click the SalesLT.Customer Table and choose “Select Top 1000 Rows.”
This will execute a SQL Query and display the results as such:
Now let’s say there is a desire to encrypt the EmailAddress and Phone columns unless you are authorized access to decrypt this data. That is where Always Encrypted comes in. So let’s dive in with how we accomplish this and how access is granted or denied.
Encrypting EmailAddress and Phone Columns using Always Encrypted
Click on the same SalesLT.Customer Table. This time, instead of selecting the top 1000 rows, we’ll choose the option to Encrypt Columns.
Under Column Selection, choose the EmailAddress and Phone Column and select the encryption type.
This blog article here does a great job of explaining the two encryption types, Deterministic vs Randomized. What the blog author writes is:
For Encryption Type, we need to select between Deterministic and Randomized. The basic rule here is that deterministic encryption is less secure yet allows you to perform grouping, filter by equality, and joining tables on encrypted columns. Deterministic Encryption produces the same encrypted value for any given plaintext value. Randomized encryption generates different encrypted value for the same plaintext each time, which makes this option more secure yet prevents equality searches, grouping, indexing and joining on encrypted columns.
Deterministic encryption is especially weak when used for small set of unique values making it too easy to decipher those. If you going to take 70-473 Microsoft exam you should be very clear on these encryption types and their limitations and be able to translate use case requirements into right encryption settings.
We will choose Deterministic. Select Next to continue.
Choose Azure Key Vault, the Subscription, and the Azure Key Vault you will use to store the Master Key. This window will prompt you to sign into Azure with your Azure AD Account to provide the subscription and Key Vault you want to use to store your Master Encryption Key. Keep in mind, the account you specify will need to be specified in an Azure Key Vault Access Policy that grants the ability with the account you are using to work with Keys. For example, here’s the ShudKeyVault Access Policy.
Back to the Master Key Configuration, verify all options.
Click Next to Continue after verifying the Azure AD Account, the Subscription, and Azure Key Vault along with its access policy.
Choose “Proceed to finish now.”
Click Next to Continue then click Finish.
Our encryption has successfully completed.
Now let’s try to view those columns again.
Right-Click the SalesLT.Customer Table and choose “Select Top 1000 Rows.”
Now our results look a bit different. We can see the EmailAddress column and Phone column are encrypted.
Viewing our encrypted data with our Admin Account
As mentioned earlier, our data was encrypted using our Azure AD Account while logged on with our eshudnow SQL Account. We’ll want to be able to sign into SQL with our Azure AD Account; the same account that has Azure Key Vault access to our key data.
Back in the Azure Portal, navigate back to the SQL Server and click on Active Directory Admin.
Select Set admin and select your Azure AD Account then click Save.
Back in SSMS, re-connect to your SQL Server & Database using your Azure AD Account. We’ll be using Azure Active Directory for the Authentication type rather than SQL Authentication.
If we view the SalesLT.Customer column data again, we still see it’s encrypted.
Let’s disconnect from our server and reconnect with the following Connection Parameter: Column Encryption Setting=Enabled. This tells SQL to decrypt the columns.
Let’s again go to the SalesLT.Customer Table and view the Top 1000 Rows.
Our data is successfully decrypted.
Viewing our encrypted data with an Account with no access to Azure Key Vault
So we know the following is true: our Azure AD Account we granted access to our SQL Server using Active Directory Admin that also is defined in our Azure Key Vault Access Policy with all Key permissions has the ability to decrypt our column data. What about other SQL Admins that are not defined in our Azure Key Vault policy? Will they have permissions to decrypt the column data? The answer is no. But let me show you.
We have an Azure AD Account, [email protected]. Let’s add him as a SQL Admin directly on our database.
Run the following SQL Query to add [email protected] from Azure AD and granting database owner priviledges against our blogdb database.
If we try to login, we get an access denied.
The reason why is the above query added the [email protected] user directly to the database. It does not have access to login to the server.
In order to be able to connect directly to the database, we must go to Connection Properties and specify the name of the database we are connecting to.
We will leave Additional Connection Parameters specified as “Column Encryption Setting=Enabled”
This time, we are able to successfully connect to our database. But we will have a limited view and will not be able to see any server related information in Object Explorer.
Let’s try to view the column data again.
Instead of the data being displayed, we are presented with the following error.
Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0 Failed to decrypt column 'EmailAddress'. Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0 Failed to decrypt a column encryption key using key store provider: 'AZURE_KEY_VAULT'. Verify the properties of the column encryption key and its column master key in your database. The last 10 bytes of the encrypted column encryption key are: 'B1-FE-AC-B1-C8-B5-51-62-01-DD'. Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0 One or more errors occurred.
Let’s go back into our Key Vault and grant [email protected] the ability to View and List Keys in our Access Policy.

Now let’s try to view the SalesLT.Customer data again and see if the EmailAddress and PhoneNumber columns get decrypted. I tweaked the SQL Query a little bit to remove some of the other columns to make the screenshot smaller.
As we can see, now that [email protected] has access to Azure Key Vault with an access policy granting JDoe Key Access, JDoe can decrypt the columns.
If you look at this article here from the official docs, it discusses what is needed in order for a user or application to be granted access to encrypted column data. A user or application must be able to access the database, and must pass the Column Encryption Setting accordingly in order for the data to be encrypted. Also, as can be seen with our tests, the application also must have access to the Azure Key Vault and the application account or user must have an Access Policy within the Azure Key Vault in order for the data to be decrypted.
Thanks for reading all the way to the end. Hopefully you found this valuable.

150 years ago Kazhymukan Munaitpasov was born. But who was this man? He was not only a successful wrestler. Read the story about a Kazakh hero.
The youth of Kazhymukan
According to his passport Kazhymukan was born as Qajymuqan Munaytpasuly on 7th April in 1871 in the small village Karaotkyel in northern Kazakhstan in the Akmola Province of the Russian Empire. His father, Munaitpas Ernakov was a poor but modest man – and he had a very much physical strength. He took part in local wrestling competitions – as well as Kazhymukan grandfather did. His grandfather introduced the young boy into the Kazakh tradition wrestling. As a teenager he started to train and performed hard physical work and worked for a rich Tatar near the city Akmola (today: Nur-Sultan). A legend is telling that he was so strong that he could help a huge and heavy bull out of the mud. Another legend tells that in the hard winter in 1889 – Kazhymukan was just 18 years old – his rich employer wanted that he buy dry hay for the animals inthe nearby Aul (Kazakh: village). On the way back during a strong snow storm one of two horses fell and couldn’t move on. So Kazhymukan Munaitpasov put the weak horse in the cart, tied the second horse behind himself, and dragged all of them through this harsh winter day back to his home. This was the reason that the people already began to talk, spread legends about. And they were already sure that he will become a strong fighter in the future. The people wasn’t wrong: The young Kazhymukan started to fight and went from one victory to another in the local wrestling fights of the Akmola region. So his success wasn’t unrecognized and one day he got the offer to fight in the circus. He trained in the circus hard and started his first fight in the circus arena in 1891 – with the young age of 20.
Starting a fighting career around the world
It’s unclear what happened with Kazhymukan between the years 1891 and 1901. But it’s clear that in 1901 he started his career as a professional wrestler at the Greco-Roman wrestling championship in Omsk. But his first fight wasn’t successful. The fight against Andrei Zlobin – one of the strongest wrestler in the world this days – was lost after 18 minutes. Kazhymukan fought well and strong but Andrei Zlobin had more experience and his fighting techniques were more improved. But the fight was not meaningless: The winner of the fight, Andrei Zlobin, recognized the huge fight of his opponent and recommended him to visit the famous wrestler school of Ivan Vladimirovich Lebedev , known as Uncle Vanya.
The next few years he improved his wrestling techniques in the school and went stronger and stronger. But his first huge victory was far away from home – in the Harbin in Manchurai – in the Far East. He took part at the Jiu-Jitsu championship in 1905 and won this competition without one defeat. In this day he received his first fighting name Yamagata Mukhunuri. The reason why he flighted in the Far East was that he wasn’t allowed to be in the Russian National team due to the Russian Empire’s discriminatory policy. His appearance and his new fighting name confused journalists and colleagues. Some of the really thought he is Japanese or Manchu. He also performed one of his most famous victories in the Far East: Along another championship he defeated Jiu-jitsu master Harakiki Jindofu (also known as Katsukuma Sarakiki). He hit Harakiki Jindofu so strong that the fighter felled down on the carpet and died on stage.
Kazhymukan Munaitpasov got the opportunity – finally – to join the Russian Empire wrestler team of the famous Estonian wrestler Georg Lurich in 1909 and won a World Championship for the first time in Gothenburg in Sweden in the same year. This was a huge success for Kazymukhan and it was the first time in history that a Kazakh won a World Championship.
In 1910 he started with the team of Georg Lurich a world tour through North and South America. During this tour his greatest win was a Gold Medal in Argentina’s capital Buenos Aires. But he was back in time for the World Championship in Moscow in December 1910.
The World Championship was hosted by Georg Lurich himself. French wrestling was very often more show than competition. Many circus called their competition a World Championship to get more visitors and to make more money. The results of this championships were sometimes already fixed by bookmakers and promoters – or they have done their best to fix the results to their favor. So during this competition Kazymukhan could defeat popular wrestlers of this time like Razumov, Schneider, Ioganesov, Winter and Apollo. He also fought against his former travel mate Georg Lurich. They fought two times. The first fight ended without an winner so Lurich asked for a another fight. Lurich couldn’t defeat Kazymukhan during the regular fight time, so the jury preferred the host and extended the time of the fight at first and presented Lurich as winner at the end of the fight.
In the following years he went through Europe and took part at the World-championships and fights in wrestler circus and won additional medals. But he didn’t became a “real” World Champion again.
Fight for Independence, October Revolution – Confused times
Kazymukhan lived from 1910 till 1937 in Omsk. The wrestler who was not only interested in sports – he also was interested into the future of his Kazakh landsmen and a independent Kazakhstan. So he met famous Kazakh intellectuals of this time like Akhmet Baitursynov and Mirjaqip Dulatuli in Omsk during the times of the October Revolution in 1917. Both joined later the Alash Party to form the first Kazakh government the Alash-Orda. But Kazhymukan Munaitpasov struggled with himself and showed interest of the ideas of Soviet Union. It is told that at the head of the Kazakh population of Omsk, he stormed the office of the Alash-Orda office in October 1917.
Life needs also some culture
After the October Revolution and the Civil War, he actively participated in the formation of Soviet power in Kazakhstan and organized various wrestler championships. But the Kazakh wrestler loved also music and theaters. He visited many theaters when he went around the world to take part on wrestling competitions. So Kazhymukan made his dream becoming true by opening in Kyzylorda the first professional Kazakh Drama Theater in 1925. Many famous Kazakh artists for example Amre Kashaubaev and Kalibek Kuanyshpayev performed on the stage in Kyzylorda and went later popular on stages world-wide. Kazhymukan was also a religious man and as a Muslim he went to Mekka and Madina in Arabia to perform the Hajj in 1912. After his travel he changed his name to Hadjimukan.
Kazhymukan – the patriot
Kazhymukan decided to end his already long and successful career in the summer of the year 1940. He fought in 54 countries and won more than 48 medals. But just a year later in Summer 1941 the Second World War against the Soviet Union started. Very much sportsmen went to the war or went around the country and collected money for the Defense Fund of the Soviet Union. Also Kazhymukan Munaitpasov was to old to fight at the front lines so he decided to collect money, too. He bought a small circus tent, took some weights, hammer and chains and started a circus tour through the Kazakh villages and cities to entertain the local people and to collect money for the war against Nazi Germany. He didn’t wanted to waste some money during his collecting campaign so he very often slept in barns of the Auls. After he finished his last circus performance in the South Kazakhstan region at the beginning of the year 1944 he collected over 100.000 rubles for the USSR Defense Fund. It was a huge amount of money in this time. His intention was to buy an aircraft with his money. So Kazhymukan wrote a telegram to Soviet Union’s head of the state Stalin and asked him to donate a U-2 (also well known as Polikarpov Po-2) aircraft to the Soviet army. The only requirement was that the airplane will be named after the legendary Kazakh-Soviet fighter Amangeldy Imanov. Stalin answered surprisingly: “Please accept my greetings and thanks from the Red Army for your concern for the Red Army Air Force. Your wish will be granted, Comrade Kazhymukan. – Stalin”.
Just some months later, Kazhymukan himself gave the plane to Air Force and the pilot became the young Kazakh pilot Kazhytaya Shalabayev. The war pilot fought with the plane on the battle lines of the Baltic sea and around Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) and flew 217 raids and spent over 430 hours in the air.
Despite all the services he had done to his motherland, his life ended in poor conditions without the support of his compatriots. In the last years of his life he was forced to sold his medals to get some money to support and feed his family – he had four wives and seven children – and they had no own house and so they slept in barns of the Kolkhoz “Lenins Flag” in the South Kazakhstan region. In his last year of his life he made a last attempt to get support by local politicians to ask for a small pension but they refused even a small pension. Kazhymukan Munaitpasov died on 12th August 1948 near the village Temirlan (Temirlanovka) in today’s Turkestan region – just 20 kilometers north of Shymkent – with the age of 77 years on a pneumonia caused by the bad living conditions in the barn.
In the next decades Kazhymukan was nearly forgotten. But in 1980 – close to his 110th birthday – a museum was opened in his honor in the village Temirlan near his grave. More and more streets were named after him in the 1990ies in Shymkent, Almaty, Nur-Sultan and Semey. Also the biggest football stadium in Shymkent – home of Kazakhstan’s Premier league club FC Ordabassy – is named after him. In front of the stadium also a statue for him remember his life.

What Brightens Skin?
Chemical brightening agents work to brighten your skin by blocking the melanin pigment. However, most chemical products are carcinogenic and have safety concerns. So, it only makes sense to avoid products with exaggerated claims as they may hit you back harshly. The most ideal way to remedy uneven skin tone and dark spots is to use a natural product that can be applied on a daily basis for maximised results. Depending on your skin type and personal needs, here are 7 skin brightening ingredients to help you achieve radiant skin naturally:
Bearberry Extract For Dark Spots
Bearberry extract is a natural skin lightener which also corrects dark spots, skin pigmentation and scars. Another big benefit of bearberry is that it contains sun protection filters which can reduce the impact of sun exposure and help slow down the signs of ageing.
Liquorice Extract For Radiant Skin
This potent natural skin lightener is often used for the treatment of sun damage, age spots, melasma, and other skin problems. Liquorice also helps control excess oil and calms down puffiness and itching.
Argan Oil For Uneven Skin Tone
Also known as liquid gold, Argan oil helps reduce the appearance of blemishes and arrests melanin growth to enhance your natural glow. Argan oil gives your skin a youthful appeal by reducing the damage caused due to oxidative stress.
Carrot To Brighten Skin
Carrots are rich in Vitamin A, E, and beta-carotene. So, look for products that include carrot oil. It also nourishes the skin and increases its resistance to sun exposure.
Avocado Oil For Age Spots And Scars
This superfood is loaded with the goodness of Vitamins A, B, C, E and essential nutrients, minerals, and monosaturated fats like linoleic acid. The avocado pulp contains all these hydrating oils that help nourish, smooth out wrinkles, and brighten up skin.
Niacinamide For Pigmentation
Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B-3 which actively reduces age spots and skin pigmentation. When used topically, it can increase the level of fatty acids and ceramide in the skin, giving you soft and smooth skin that looks firm and youthful. Niacinamide can also help to reduce hyperpigmentation and brighten skin.
Ginseng For Rejuvenated Skin
This powerful herb aids in fighting pigmentation and uneven skin tone. It makes the complexion look lighter, brighter, and more radiant by inhibiting the production of melanin and protecting the skin from sun damage and UV radiation.
The ultimate goal of skin lightening is to gently fade out uneven skin tone and dark spots by inhibiting melanin and sun damage. So, when you buy products that lighten skin tone, look for those that include natural brightening ingredients that can restore your radiance without causing any damage. | <urn:uuid:3221f194-cab2-4ed1-9580-92777de1aa92> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.shytobuy.uk/top-7-super-safe-skin-brightening-ingredients.html | 2023-09-22T11:58:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.924037 | 615 |

For over thirty years of my career, I’ve been active in the property and casualty insurance brokerage industry, during which time I’ve traveled the country and met with hundreds of top brokers, sales managers, and agency owners. Throughout this experience, conversations with my industry peers have always included one consistent theme – the significant challenge of hiring great salespeople and how the ability to do so is critical to long-term success.
This article, which serves as the culmination of those conversations, evaluates the currently available hiring assessment tools and delves into the development of a brand new option on the marketplace.
The Current Marketplace
First, let’s look at some of the most popular tools utilized by brokerage firms and evaluate them from an independent standpoint. I asked a top PhD student in the Organizational Behavior arena to review all the material he could find on each tool, and the results are fascinating. RISK66 subscribers can access the PDF summary of this research by logging into RISK66.com, going to the Resource Library and clicking on the first document, which is titled, “Hiring Tool Evaluations.”
RISK66’s HIRE P2 Hiring Tool
As part of my dissertation work, and afterwards in conjunction with AOE Science (www.AOEscience.com), we have developed HIRE P2, a hiring tool focused on the property and casualty insurance industry that synthesizes extensive research on the people it was designed to assess.
Alongside this research, HIRE P2 utilizes the most recent advances in modeling methodology, an expansive database of industry-relevant data, and a team of the best researchers in the field to create a hiring assessment tool that produces the most accurate projections of success in the marketplace.
The use of this tool revolves around the highly researched and validated core personality measurements of Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience along with powerful, new classification algorithms emerging from the field of data science and mathematics. HIRE P2 is currently the only tool on the market that utilizes both the aforementioned algorithms and data specific to the property and casualty industry.
To complement its current capabilities, HIRE P2 is also a dynamic product, as we are continuing development and expansion of the tool to capitalize on ever-increasing sophistication in both the psychometrics and modeling used for predictive purposes.
In a few weeks, a beta form of HIRE P2 will be available to all RISK66 members for evaluation purposes. This summer, we will begin to offer the tool on a pay-per-usage basis to RISK66 members. | <urn:uuid:c6112bdb-14f9-46b3-a32e-5f4d22f265cd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.sigmaactuary.com/2017/04/27/the-challenge-of-hiring-great-sales-people/ | 2023-09-22T11:24:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.927893 | 546 |
Brian Keith Baldwin, age 57, passed away unexpectedly in his sleep on Friday, February 4, 2022. Brian was living in Bellingham at the time of his passing, and was a lifelong resident of Whatcom County. Blaine was considered home. Brian was the first-born child of the family. He was born in Oakland, CA on Tuesday, July 28, 1964 after his father’s service there in the Marine Corps. The family returned to Blaine while he was still a small child. He was proceeded in death by his father John, and leaves behind his mother Merry, his sister Brenda, brothers Michael and Garth, numerous nieces and nephews, and a large extended family. He had a special place in the life of his nephew Jefferson (Garth and [wife] Kelsey’s son), having spent the first few years of the boy’s life living with him. His cousin Brylee Rogers-Pai was his close friend, confidant, and personal hairdresser. As any life, lived in their own space, there are people who are unknown to this writer; but do not lack importance, who will miss him and who had a special place in his life.
As anyone who knew him would know, his life revolved around cars. His calling in life came early in professional autobody restoration. Brian was detail oriented and a perfectionist; in all honesty, to a fault. He could never get a restoration job quite good enough for his own standards. He produced many beautiful vehicles. And he never met an El Camino he didn’t see as a potential classic restoration. He was a kind and gentle soul who will be missed for his love and honest affection for those he loved.
A private family service and interment at Hillsdale Cemetery in Blaine is planned. | <urn:uuid:df1f38a8-c177-4b69-860a-54556716e86d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.sigsfuneralservices.com/obituaries/brian-baldwin-1 | 2023-09-22T11:03:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.993887 | 376 |

WHAT IS MOMME OR MM?
Momme is a Japanese form of weight measurement and is used when describing the quality of pure silk.

Rose Petal Graves
by Olivia Wildenstein
Release Date: March 29th 2017
ANCIENT SECRETS CANNOT REMAIN BURIED FOREVER.
Founded two centuries ago by a powerful tribe of Gottwa Indians, Rowan was a quiet town, so quiet that I fled after graduation. Staying away was the plan, but Mom died suddenly.
Dad said she suffered a stroke after she dug up one of the ancient graves in our backyard, which happens to be the town cemetery. Creepy, I know. Creepier still, there was no corpse inside the old coffin, only fresh rose petals.
As we made preparations for Mom’s burial, new people began arriving in Rowan, unnervingly handsome and odd people. I begged them to leave, but they stayed, because their enemies—my ancestors—were beginning to awaken. | <urn:uuid:d5564d08-c7c5-4ea9-a843-ef89a4f4dd28> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.silverdaggertours.com/book-tours/rose-petal-graves-cover-reveal | 2023-09-22T11:28:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.954021 | 233 |
Charm City Threads Book 1
by Stephania Thompson Genre: Romantic Suspense
Bound by a devastating secret, childhood friends David, Josh, and Kate take on home renovation as a means of healing from a dark, shared past.
Their only promise? Friendship first—no hookups.
Only several months after moving into their Baltimore fixer, the aptly nicknamed Canton Catastrophe, walls are crumbling, sparks are flying, and promises are getting ignored.
Josh, a paramedic, is plagued with panic attacks, haunted by the past, and sharing a room with David, who he is definitely not attracted to. And then there's Kate. She's having a job crisis, popping pills, and pretending she doesn’t notice how distant the boys have grown. And David? The eternally calm, blue-eyed beauty’s health is deteriorating and he’s mysteriously blacking out.
But when they learn someone may have discovered their darkest secret and is now stalking them--and blackmailing Josh's father, a conservative media personality with secrets of his own, renovation and relationship woes take a back seat. Suddenly, their past is unraveling, and the shocking truths unearthed will have them questioning everything from family ties and friendships to love, loss, and the lengths they’re willing to go for each other.
Our bedroom wall rattles to life, and I peel one eye open.
I love how the pipes clang so loud that I don’t need an alarm in the morning, and I hate everything else about plumbing. And home improvement in general. One day I’m going to live in a pre-furnished fully decorated condo and pay exorbitant homeowner fees, so I don’t have to lift a finger.
I tunnel under the covers and indulge this fantasy while listening to Josh in the shower. It was his idea to buy this place. A project, he’d said. Something for us to work on together.
Once Josh gets an idea in his head, there’s no persuading him against it. Kate and I eventually agreed—we needed somewhere to live after all. Maybe it would be fun?
And it has been.
A disastrous, chaotic sort of fun. We’ve learned a lot about each other, which really says something because we already knew a lot about each other. Like the fact that Josh is a perfectionist, I’m a procrastinator, and Kate’s indecisive. This translates into Josh dictating everything, and Kate and I struggling to complete the few tasks he delegates.
Or, as is often the case, us hiding in the bathroom.
Not that you can hide in this house. We tried in the beginning to maintain a pretense of privacy, but then the three of us got sick from Kate’s cooking. One bathroom, paper-thin walls. Need I say more?
Anyway, Josh and I share a room for now. It’s a bit small. But that’s typical for a turn of the century Baltimore row home. Every room feels like a glorified closet. We’ve been here four months now, and there’ve been some hurdles. Remember that old Tom Hanks movie, The Money Pit? Picture that. Kate refers to our little city fixer as The Canton Catastrophe. Josh and I just call it The Shit Box.
But back to our bedroom situation. I don’t mind sharing with Josh. Over the years, he and I have spent more nights together than apart. We’re about as close as two humans can be. Which sounds like a good thing—and it is. I love Josh.
I love Kate, too.
Our situation is a little…complicated.
She tiptoes in, all stealth-like.
“Stop staring,” I say, without opening my eyes.
She slides beneath the blanket. “How do you always know?”
“Extrasensory perception,” I say, pulling her close. She’s damp from the shower and smells of Sea Island Cotton-scented body wash. We all use the same soap. Is that weird? I’m pretty sure body wash is for girls, but Josh and I are addicted to it.
I sort of love how we all smell the same.
Kate doesn’t talk for a few minutes. This has become our morning routine. She showers first, then snuggles with me. Josh used to hold that coveted position, but he got bumped—from the shower, I mean. He and I snuggle all the time.
Here’s something about Josh—he takes absurdly long showers. It doesn’t take a crime scene investigator to figure out what’s going on in there. But really, should it take that long? Kate didn’t think so. After a month of freezing-cold-post-Josh-shower taking, she put her foot down. The order now stands Kate first, then Josh, then David. I haven’t had a warm shower in months.
But it’s fine. I’ll sacrifice for them. I’d do anything for the two of them.

First and foremost, I’m a mom to four wonderful kids…three boys and a girl. I’m an accountant by trade, but writing has always been my passion. My hard drive is full of story fragments, novel ideas, half-finished articles, poetry…you name it, I’ve probably written it. But I didn’t get serious about writing until a few years ago when one of my sons had an accident. He’s fine now (thankfully), but all that time back and forth to the hospital forced me to slow down and think about life, and what I really wanted. And it gave the ideas rattling around my brain time to take shape. Before I knew it, I was five chapters into the novel that became Woven.
What is something unique/quirky about you?
Hmm…that’s a tough one. I’m pretty ordinary. Let’s see…I keep bearded dragons as pets, I once dressed as a Planters Peanut for a BJ’s Wholesale Club grand opening, I’m a third generation Cypriot, and my current home is a modern-day money pit. Things about me specifically? I hate eating off plates and avoid them whenever possible, I’ve trained for multiple marathons/half-marathons but never ran in one, and I attended three different colleges but still graduated in four years!
Tell us something really interesting that's happened to you!
I met my husband at work, fell in love, and got married which, in and of itself isn’t that interesting. BUT we sat in a cubicle row with another guy and girl, who also met, fell in love and got married. Our co-workers called our little row, Lovers Lane. They also called it bang-a-coworker-row, which doesn’t sound nearly as romantic, lol. We’re all still together and still close friends.
What are some of your pet peeves?
I struggled coming up with these because I don’t have too many pet peeves. I’m pretty easy going by nature, but a few came to mind: loud crunching, cereal slurping (that little pet peeve made its way into Woven), close talkers, and passive aggressive behavior.
Where were you born/grew up at?
I’m a Maryland native, born and raised. I’ve lived most of my life in or around the Baltimore/D.C. area.
If you knew you'd die tomorrow, how would you spend your last day?
I’d spend it with my husband and kids doing something ordinary while making sure they knew, without a doubt, how much I loved them. Also, I’d drink Starbucks and eat sushi and Moon Pies until my stomach could hold no more.
Who is your hero and why?
My father. He was my best friend and consummate cheerleader. Anything new I wanted to try, he encouraged me. When I felt down, he lifted me up. If ever I was in need, he was there, no questions. He battled cancer three times during my life, finally succumbing to it in 2012. Not once did he complain or indulge in self-pity. His faith never wavered, nor did his support and concern for his loved ones. When I think about strength and love in action, I think about my dad. He was the embodiment of both. A real-life hero.
What kind of world ruler would you be?
A terrible one because I’m indecisive and a procrastinator. It is an excruciating, exhaustive, thankless job and I applaud anyone willing to step into local/national/world leadership. Regardless of political affiliation, I think we should all pray for, and do our best to support, the men and women who endeavor to make our world a better place.
What are you passionate about these days?
Writing. I feel incomplete if a day’s gone by and I haven’t written a word. And healthy eating. I recently cut out sugar and most processed foods. Colleen Hoover, I’m working my way through her novels. Podcasts—I listen constantly to anything and everything. My kids—time seems to speed up with each passing day and they’re growing too fast!
What do you do to unwind and relax?
Run. Drive by myself with a chill playlist or audiobook. Take our aussiedoodle puppy for a walk. Grab a coffee and sit by myself in the sand listening to the ocean.
How to find time to write as a parent?
I don’t know. If you find the answer, could you tell me? I am always short on time. Woven was written at 4:30 am, in car parking lots, at soccer practice, on my phone in the grocery store, in the bathroom, and a million other places. With four kids, sticking to a writing schedule is almost impossible. I could write a book about all the places I wrote Woven! Throw a pandemic in the mess and a year and half of virtual learning? It’s a miracle I wrote a page.
Seriously, though, the real answer is determination. Once I was determined to write, I made it a priority. I found time to write by sacrificing other things. Only, it didn’t feel like a sacrifice because I wanted so badly to write. I kept reminding myself of the end game—a completed novel—and I just kept going.
Describe yourself in 5 words or less!
I’m going to cheat and let Myers-Briggs describe me because it’s pretty spot on. I am an ENFP (extroverted, intuitive, feeling, perceptive). For me, this means I’m a bit unconventional, consistently inconsistent, painfully empathetic, and a perpetual optimist.
Do you have a favorite movie?
It changes from month to month/year to year, but my constant favorite has always been When Harry Met Sally.
Which of your novels can you imagine made into a movie?
I definitely see Woven as a movie. David, Josh, and Kate’s story played out in my head long before I ever wrote a word.
What literary pilgrimages have you gone on?
Well, I’m not sure how much of a pilgrimage this is, but during a trip to Edinburgh, I spent a day at The Elephant House (where J.K. Rowling wrote some of the Harry Potter series). Additionally, I hope to visit Prince Edward Island and immerse myself in all things Anne of Green Gables, a series that captured my heart as a child.
As a writer, what would you choose as your mascot/avatar/spirit animal?
A bearded dragon. Our beardie, Bandito, was my constant companion when I wrote Woven. If I was at the table writing, she was beside me. It’s as much her book as it is mine! | <urn:uuid:801ad353-21a1-4fa5-b35c-c953c4aa4656> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.silverdaggertours.com/sdsxx-tours/woven-book-tour-and-giveaway | 2023-09-22T12:36:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.96204 | 2,802 |

Saraswatharishtam – Memory Booster
Saraswatharishtam, as the title suggests, is named after the Hindu deity Saraswati. She is the goddess of knowledge, art, speech, and learning. This potion, named after her, is a highly efficient brain tonic. Times are nothing like the old, and mental health is something that is at stake right now. Everybody is hesitant to address their mental health concerns and get professional help. From the olden times itself, the Ayurvedic medical system has been successful in curing such ailments and helping people deal with their stress. As Ayurveda defines health as a balance of Doshas and a good state of mind, it is vital to have them balanced; the mind and the body. This ayurvedic nerve tonic contains herbal remedies known to aid in the treatment of neurological and psychological problems. While the world has been made to stand still with the pandemic, almost every human being is suffering from significant stress and anxiety. Saraswatharishtam makes use of ingredients, which according to ancient Ayurvedic texts, claim to be good for reducing mental stress, depression, and anxiety. In this holistic healing system, the quality of sleep plays an important role. Saraswatharishtam also helps to improve the quality of sleep.
Importance of Saraswatharishtam with Gold
According to the time-tested tradition, Saraswatharishtam with gold is said to give the best results. Thus, Sitaram Ayurveda has come up with Saraswatharishtam that has infused the goodness of gold leaves. The gold is said to act as a catalyst that will carry the medicine to its targeted organ and increase the efficiency of the medicine. Brahmi is one of the prominent ingredients used in this tonic. Brahmi always had the name of serving to boost memory. It can also be used for people with Alzheimer’s disease and to reduce the symptoms associated with ADHD(Attention deficit hyperactive disorder). This tonic is also enriched with another herb called Aswagandha. As per Ayurveda, it has excellent anti-anxiety and anti-stress properties. Aswagandha has chemicals that can calm the brain and reduce fatigue and tiredness. This tonic has made use of an Ayurvedic adaptogen called Guduchi. Adaptogens are herbs that work to counteract the effects of stress in the body. Bibithaki is one of the Triphala herbs, about which the evidence shows that it can protect an individual against stress. The herb Vacha is said to improve intelligence, support digestion, relieve bloating, improve voice, help with psychological disorders and neuralgia, as said by Ayurvedic texts.
Ayurvedic Benefits of Saraswatharishtam
Saraswatharishtam, with powerful adaptogens, helps in dealing with stress and mental fatigue. This potion is potent medicine for bettering stammering in people. Stammering is a neurobiological problem, which causes a synchronization issue in the speech mechanism. This tonic gives people who have such speech disorders the ability to speak and articulate. While this tonic strengthens the nervous system, it also helps cure conditions like Dementia and psychomotor retardation. Dementia is a term used for symptoms such as loss of memory, reasoning, or other thinking skills. At the same time, psychomotor retardation is a condition when thoughts of an individual are slowed down and results in reduced physical movement. One of the reasons for this is a weakened nervous system. This psychomotor retardation may be a symptom of a condition called Insomnia. It is when an individual can’t fall asleep. However, all of these mental disorders are common but are difficult to diagnose. But if not diagnosed earlier and medicated, it can lead to challenging problems for people. Saraswatharishtam has proven to be a cure for all of these disorders if appropriately consumed. Sitaram’s Saraswatharishtam with gold comes at an affordable price, which makes it accessible for everyone. It is advised to consult a doctor before you take it.

Customer engagement refers to the action whereby a customer interacts and shares their experiences with you and your brand. Costumers want to be heard, they want answers to questions, they want their problems solved, and they want a feeling of connection with the brand. A business that is focused on customer engagement aims to add value, in the form of end-to-end customer experience, useful content, and real-time customer support.
What are the benefits of an engaged customer? In short, an engaged customer is your best customer. As the Gallup research study indicated that engaged customers bring about higher revenue than other cliental.
What metrics should be used to measure engagement and what tool are about to capture the right data?
Measurement is channel specific, but also depends on your industry. For example, with websites, the website analytics there are different metrics that indicate engaged users:
• Average time on a page
• Average pages per session
• Percentage of returning users
For social media:
• Total number of interactions (i.e. replies, likes, retweets, mentions, shares, comments and tags
• Impressions are referring to users that are engaging passively
Still, customer engagement platforms provide an all-inclusive manner to bring together, sort and appreciate the data. Characteristically integrating with a CRM, it enables several teams to access the equivalent data at the same time and can be set up to notify diverse teams based on recent interactions and purchases. The typical features include customer health scores (i.e. those that indicate overall satisfaction), customer monitoring (referring to the tracking interactions) and customer profiles (i.e. drawing data from your CRM, the service desk and financial systems like accounting software). Therefore, clearly-defined, metrics are needed, combined with an effective systems to measure progress is needed to gain useful data.
To optimize engagement you should look at strategies at aim to keep customers engaged
Your strategy will differ depending on the channels being utilized. But all the strategies have one common goal, to build a loyal customer following. At the outset you should know that customers are busy. They don’t spend their time thinking of you, like you do about them. That’s why customer engagement is vital – so they come back over and over again. In that way, you want to build a relationship with them.
For customer-facing channels, such as social media, being available and responsive is one of the most effective ways to engage customers and reward them for interacting with your brand.
Making customer experience your main focus.
As indicated by a study by the White House Office of Consumer Affairs on American consumers, the findings indicated that 80% of consumers would be willing to pay more for a service or product if they receive a superior customer experience.
Humanise your brand
Customers want to relate to your brand. You can use a brand ambassador or a personality within your company to humanize your brand and engage the audience. They can blog, use video content, present webinars, or publish white papers, all different ways to establish your brand’s voice with a trusted face.
You can be feisty on social, but don’t offend people. Bad timing is normally the issue, where a normally sassy tweet can go horribly wrong just after a tragedy. The implication is the direct opposite of what you want to gain from customer engagement.
From auto-generated happy birthday emails to suggested products based on browsing history. An alternative to sophisticated algorithms is a quiz to personalise recommendations to clients. But personalisation should be about making customers feel welcome, and not like you are strip mining their data. Doing this will also avoid customers to unengaged. Also, if you are dealing with international customers, you might want to communicate in their language. It is known that you will have increased sales if your marketing is in the customers’’ language. But be warned, translating your content on your website might be difficult if you are applying SEOs on key words as they might not translate well. You might have to add extra key words to overcome this problem.
Creating useful content
Content marketing, such as instructional videos, can be used to enhance customer experience and increase satisfaction. Particularly if you give away quality information for free. But to add you should consider dividing your audience by interest, purchase history, or demographic listing. By doing this, you can provide them with more relevant information.
Customers want to feel heard. It could mean that you have to deal with negative feedback, still you need to approach the customer with empathy while listening to their concerns. Remember some customers are brand loyal and will want to protect the brand by giving negative feedback. It would be to your benefit to listen to their concerns. But do reminisce, the worst interaction is no interaction.
Connect with your community by giving back to your local community. Costumers that know that you are charitable will become more loyal and engage with you more.
Have a mobile platform
Having a mobile presences is importance as people are using their handsets to access information. An app or mobile responsive website is thus important.
The internet has made global competition a reality. Companies therefore need to find ways to standout and a key element is by providing real customer engagement. To see if your efforts are working you need to measure them using your pre-determined metrics based on the channels that you are using. The data that you gain from these should then be interrogated into your customer engagement strategies. It is vital to understand though, that there is a switch of how you go about doing this – that you will not focus so much on the functionality but rather focus on the experience the customer is having.
So go out and add some sparkle, and soul into what you are doing. But keep it real. You will find that your customers will find the experience more enjoyable and soon they will be the ones that will act as your brand ambassadors. | <urn:uuid:ea6515b3-4b5c-4e71-9e84-b4ee371132b8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.sitetrail.com/how-to-measure-and-optimize-customer-engagement-on-any-channel/ | 2023-09-22T12:02:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.947782 | 1,234 |

On Thursday, President Joe Biden appointed Suns point guard Chris Paul to his HBCU Board of Advisors and 17 others, including actor Taraji P. Henson and five other HBCU presidents.
Incredibly humbled to be appointed to President Biden’s HBCU Board of Advisors. Looking forward to working with this amazing group to continue to elevate these historical institutions. #HBCUlove pic.twitter.com/Zc5Im0Alqb— Chris Paul (@CP3) March 31, 2022
According to the White House, the goal of the Advisory Board is to advance the HBCU Initiative, which the Carter administration started in 1980. The Biden Administration has committed more than $5.8 million towards supporting its financial commitment to HBCUs.
CP3 has become a well-known advocate of the HBCU community, co-producing Why Not Us, an eight-episode docuseries on ESPN that covered the North Carolina Central men’s basketball program. Spike Lee, Henson, and Jerry Lorenzo were also a part of the series. Paul was a part of the push to help start the inaugural NBA HBCU Classic featuring Morgan State and Howard.
Both schools received a $100,000 donation from the League and AT&T to support student-athletes continuing their education.
The 12-time All-Star also partnered with the Harvard Business School to bring its entertainment, media, and sports program to North Carolina A&T and will bring the program to other HBCUs in the future to help provide those opportunities in the same career fields. Paul was also partly responsible for starting voting initiatives to encourage HBCU students to vote. | <urn:uuid:ec6c0129-bc33-4788-86c6-9ad103aeee1e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.slamonline.com/news/nba/chris-paul-appointed-to-president-bidens-hbcu-board-of-advisors/ | 2023-09-22T12:19:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.961738 | 347 |

When it comes to dressing for a dental clinic, comfort and professionalism should be your top priorities. Uniforms are a great option for easy-care garments that are ideal for a dental office. You can also have fun with uniforms, getting various colors and patterns. Some offices choose to have everyone wear the same color on the same days.
When selecting your outfit, make sure it is comfortable and easy to move around in. Disposable clothing is also recommended, as it won't bother you if it gets dirty. Professional business attire is advisable, as you'll be working with other dental professionals. Avoid wearing dangle earrings or long necklaces, as well as any accessories that could distract you from your task.
A small watch and ring are acceptable, as long as they don't interfere with your work. If you want to wear something over a scrub shirt, opt for a lab jacket or team sweatshirt. Eyebrow piercings should be avoided in the dental office, as liquid dental products can drip before they reach the tooth. It's also important to wear something that won't get too dirty, so expensive clothes should be avoided.
Name tags may be worn to complete the professional image of a dental hygienist and provide a more personal experience for patients. When it comes to religious items such as hijabs, employers should be aware of potential lawsuits from employees who claim that their religious beliefs were interfered with when these items were banned. Comfort is also key - if your appointment lasts longer than an hour, you don't want to be lying in the dental chair wearing uncomfortable clothes. Finally, if you're wearing a t-shirt under your shirt, make sure it is white or navy blue to complement the robe.
The dress code should describe clothing and personal care expectations, with photos included to show employees the best way to wear their uniforms. Lab coats are also recommended to protect users from spills or accidental contact and prevent contamination from spreading beyond the clinic. | <urn:uuid:4429d4e6-e02a-41c5-ab04-cf2b5ca02819> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.smiley-dentist.com/what-do-you-wear-to-a-dental-clinic | 2023-09-22T12:19:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.972182 | 399 |
Hundreds of Will County property owners received notices about the December 9, 2020 delinquent tax sale about one month AFTER the tax sale. Read more here (courtesy of the Chicago Tribune). Despite the outrage of some property owners, the validity of the tax sale is likely protected by Section 21-135 of the Illinois Property Tax Code (35 ILCS 200/21-135), which provides as follows:
Mailed notice of application for judgment and sale. Not less than 15 days before the date of application for judgment and sale of delinquent properties, the county collector shall mail, by registered or certified mail, a notice of the forthcoming application for judgment and sale to the person shown by the current collector's warrant book to be the party in whose name the taxes were last assessed or to the current owner of record and, if applicable, to the party specified under Section 15-170. The notice shall include the intended dates of application for judgment and sale and commencement of the sale, and a description of the properties. The county collector must present proof of the mailing to the court along with the application for judgement.
In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, a copy of this notice shall also be mailed by the county collector by registered or certified mail to any lienholder of record who annually requests a copy of the notice. The failure of the county collector to mail a notice or its non-delivery to the lienholder shall not affect the validity of the judgment.
In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, notice shall not be mailed to any person when, under Section 14-15, a certificate of error has been executed by the county assessor or by both the county assessor and board of appeals (until the first Monday in December 1998 and the board of review beginning the first Monday in December 1998 and thereafter), except as provided by court order under Section 21-120.
The collector shall collect $10 from the proceeds of each sale to cover the costs of registered or certified mailing and the costs of advertisement and publication. If a taxpayer pays the taxes on the property after the notice of the forthcoming application for judgment and sale is mailed but before the sale is made, then the collector shall collect $10 from the taxpayer to cover the costs of registered or certified mailing and the costs of advertisement and publication. | <urn:uuid:4d394b4a-f756-4135-8ce8-cb7cdb2a7f08> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.smlg.law/post/us-postal-service-fails-to-deliver-notices-before-tax-sale | 2023-09-22T10:53:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.944016 | 469 |

In the course of time, the following words became more and more the motto of my life:
Blessing and glory,
wisdom and thanksgiving,
honor and power and might
be to our God for ever and ever.
The first AMEN was said to me as a human being – as a gift of God – by my parents and the people in my environment, especially my grandfather and my Aunt Lisbeth. THANK YOU!
As I was growing, the circle of those who spoke this AMEN for me or with me became greater and greater:
Siblings – relatives – acquaintances – teachers – educators
Sisters in Lorup
Sisters in Vechta
Sisters in Coesfeld – Bocholt – Rome – Turin
and many other people – among them many students and co-workers
I THANK YOU ALL!
With the help of God and the support of many people, I gradually learnt to grow into this great AMEN.
Through joy – sorrow – pain – bitter disappointment, failing, and success – being loved – loving – forgiving and asking for forgiveness.
With God’s help I will say the last AMEN alone, asking for mercy.
May it be an AMEN of love, of thanksgiving, of praise, of adoration. | <urn:uuid:a59cc8e8-cdba-4d4a-9bd8-b1236ca7f02a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.snd1.org/en/death-notices/sister-maria-johanita/ | 2023-09-22T12:30:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.939789 | 402 |
Lunches for the homeless, CA, USA
February 2, 2015
The Sisters at the Notre Dame Center, Thousand Oaks, prepared bagged lunches for the homeless. The Sisters had received grocery gift cards at Christmas, which they included in each bag. They also included a knitted hat.
On January 28, 2015, the bags were given to persons who were interviewed by volunteers who were taking a count of the homeless in Ventura County, where Thousand Oaks is located. Federal funding is determined by the information received during the street interviews. The annual point-in-time survey tries to capture characteristics of every homeless person in Ventura County. The data is collected and sent to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The total determines how much funding the federal agency gives the county to help manage and, ideally, reduce the homeless population.
Many Mansions, an affordable housing agency which provides permanent, supportive housing, now considered a best practice in the field, has been leading the homeless count in Thousand Oaks since 2007. This year, 52 volunteers combed the streets from 5:30 a.m. and planned to keep going until 7 p.m. looking for homeless people behind supermarkets and in the corners of parking lots.
Sister Lisa McGaffin is on the board of Many Mansions. As Sister Lisa commented, “All in all, it was a blessed opportunity to share God’s goodness—just through a caring conversation and a bagged lunch. Sounds a bit like our shared sandwich story.” | <urn:uuid:81397078-5ae6-4160-b1bd-56fe412e1b94> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.snd1.org/en/snd-news-from-around-the-world/jpic/lunches-for-the-homeless-ca-usa/ | 2023-09-22T11:42:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.97466 | 314 |

It’s not uncommon for SolidWorks World to feel a little bit like Christmas for serious CAD junkies. Not to mention, it’s a great time for partner companies to get their announcements heard while everybody is in the ‘holiday spirit.’
Among other announcements at SolidWorks World 2018 earlier this week, Meta is going to be the first company to provide 3D CAD viewing capabilities in augmented reality (AR) with SolidWorks applications. Essentially, the SolidWorks experience is getting transported into a new, even more immersive and intuitive dimension. Whaaaat?
Dubbed the “Publish to Xtended Reality” capability (which sounds pretty corny if you say it out loud), this new feature allows users to export a CAD model from SolidWorks to an open-source format known as “gITF”. Once converted, the gITF file can be viewed on a platform through a Meta 2 headset. File details including display states, color, model hierarchy, and animations are all retained during the conversion process.
According to the announcement, the new feature provides an “easier and more immersive experience than virtual reality”. The easy exporting nature is supposed to be a lot faster, as models don’t need to be made specifically for the AR headset. The more intuitive interface also means both seasoned and less experienced CAD modelers will be able to easily create their projects when given enough time with the new technology.
It will be a while before the project gets released to the public, but a few companies, such as Black & Decker, are already beta testing it and proving its capabilities. If you really can’t wait to play around with your CAD model in the real world, you can sign up for a private Beta invite over on the Meta webpage. | <urn:uuid:2f4d2267-607f-4b73-9f64-f8b121b99a7b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.solidsmack.com/cad/ar-company-meta-just-revealed-it-will-be-working-on-3d-cad-ar-integration-with-solidworks/ | 2023-09-22T10:41:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.934884 | 371 |

When you are attempting to call someone in another country, and it’s not something that you do regularly, then you might be confused about how to dial a country code in addition to the phone number that you have.
Luckily the iPhone has a feature called Dial Assist which can make this a bit easier.
But Dial Assist can occasionally cause some problems, and you might discover that you need to place the call without the help of that feature.
Our tutorial below will show you how to turn off the iPhone dial assist option.
You can also check out this video about how to change the iPhone dial assist setting.

When you are trying to accomplish something unfamiliar on your iPhone and think that you are doing it correctly, only to achieve an unexpected result, then it can be frustrating.
One such task involves calling someone in another country if you aren’t regularly making international calls. The Dial Assist feature that is offered by a number of major cell phone carriers like Verizon and AT&T can simplify the otherwise confusing international calling process.
But if it’s causing problems, then you can turn off Dial Assist on your iPhone by going to Settings > Phone > and scrolling all the way to the bottom, and disabling the Dial Assist setting.
The Dial Assist feature on your iPhone attempts to automatically add the international and local prefixes when you are making a call that requires it.
While this can be helpful in certain situations, you may discover that your own international phone usage might dictate another approach.
For example, if you regularly travel internationally and have a lot of international contacts, you might prefer to simply save those contacts with their full phone numbers (country code, area code, phone number), thereby negating the need for Dial Assist.
Fortunately, it is possible to turn off the Dial Assist setting on your iPhone 7 if you aren’t using it or if it is causing problems. Our guide below will show you where to find and disable this setting on your device.
Wondering how to get rid of moon on iPhone? Our how-to article will show you some options and settings you can adjust.
How to Disable the Dial Assist Option in iOS 10 (Guide with Pictures)
The steps in this guide were performed on an iPhone 7 Plus in iOS 10.3.2.
Note that turning off this option is going to modify a setting on your iPhone’s Phone menu so that the phone will no longer automatically determine the correct international or local prefix when you dial.
You will need to enter that information manually as you place your call.
These steps will show you how to turn off the iPhone Dial Assist feature so that you can place calls without adding any additional numbers to the one you are attempting to dial.
Step 1: Open the Settings menu.
Tap the Settings icon.
Step 2: Scroll down and choose the Phone menu.
Touch the Phone button.
Step 3: Tap the button to the right of Dial Assist to turn it off.
Disable Dial Assist.
You have turned off Dial Assist when there is no green shading around the button.
Dial Assist is turned off in the picture above.
Now that you know how to turn off the iPhone dial assist setting you will be able to place international calls without worrying that additional area codes or country codes will be added to the number that you dial.
Our tutorial continues below with additional discussion on shutting off the dial assist feature on an iPhone.
If you have seen a blue clock on your iPhone and wondered what it meant, then this article can provide some insight on that topic.
What Does Dial Assist Mean on an iPhone?
Perhaps the most common reason that people come to this Web page is that they have been exploring the menus on their device and stumbled upon the Dial Assist setting.
The menu describes the dial assist feature on the iPhone as “Dial assist automatically determines the correct international or local prefix when dialing.”
If you live in the United States then you are probably familiar with the need to dial area codes in front of phone numbers so that you reach the correct person. The phone number 111-555-5555 is going to put you in touch with a different person than 222-555-5555, for example.
If you are trying to call someone in a different country, however, then you also need to use a country code. Dial Assist automatically adds the local prefix and/or country code correctly.
But the iPhone automatically figuring out country codes can cause problems for contacts that are saved with the correct country and local prefixes, which is why many people need to shut off the dial assist setting.

The launch of the Windows 10X operating system has been significantly changed and new information about the platform is still scarce. Now, the Windows Central website has gained access to a leaked build of the version for PCs and devices with a single screen – and showed the look and new functions in a video of more than 8 minutes.
Windows 10X was originally Microsoft’s project for devices with two screens, such as the Surface Neo. However, changes to the brand’s release schedule and effects of the covid-19 pandemic have made Microsoft modify the plans. Now, the novelty will debut before on single screen devices, as a kind of adaptation of traditional Windows 10 functions made from partial updates.
Check out the video:
From the clip’s impressions, the system looks very light and minimalist, with few icons and a look that includes dark display modes. The Taskbar is transformed into the main location for accessing applications and files, with the Start Menu very different and simplified.
The Verge website team also had access to the system and claims that this is a version very close to the finished version, which will be sent to consumers. | <urn:uuid:58e06891-fa9d-49f7-aa43-ee39e7e19f6d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.somagnews.com/windows-10x-leaked-see-how-the-system-looks/ | 2023-09-22T12:09:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.963285 | 233 |

I’ve been out traveling in Baja and they are in the off season for growing. That means they don’t have much of the variety that we have to offer most of the year. And forget trying to find much in the organics section. Traveling always makes me appreciate the abundance and availability we have throughout the year. Our friend who farms down here is only growing peppers and they can really only sell them locally. And I tasted one of their cucumbers and it was very sour. I may be spoiled by our sweet crunchy cucumbers, but I love them. I hope you have been enjoying them too.
Dani, our local nutritionist said “I am so happy about the box this week because my new favorite meal is onions, green beans and tomatoes, slathered with olive oil, sea salt and pepper and served over quinoa.“ Check out Dani’s easy recipe for a quick meal and read what she has to say about the superfoods in your box this week.
Carotenes are a group of powerful antioxidants naturally occurring in foods that have that deep orange, red-ish hue. So your carrots, tomatoes and butternut squash found in your box this week are abundant in this antioxidant. Carotenes play an important role in fighting free radicals, increasing your immunity, preventing cancer and even maintaining healthy a healthy visual system. Carotenes help protect skin from damage caused by over exposure to UV rays. Lycopene, a particular carotene in your tomatoes protects against prostate cancer. But you know what’s most interesting about this antioxidant? Lycopene is more readily absorbed when the foods are cooked and eaten with fats. A study on tomato products and lowered risk of prostate cancer found that tomato sauce, tomatoes, even pizza were effective but that tomato juice was not! Why is this? Because when tomatoes are cooked, even for just a few minutes, the cell walls begin to be broken down allowing for the release of the carotenes. This process makes the antioxidant much readily absorbed by the body. Another study found that cooked carrots tripled the beta-carotene levels in healthy females compared to raw carrots!! What’s even more interesting is that supplementation of carotenes does not seem to be effective! Your body wants FOODS and not isolated nutrients. So enjoy those carrots, tomatoes and butternut squash this week and be sure to cook some with healthy fats like grass-fed butter, ghee or extra virgin olive oil!

Butternut Squash with Ginger and Cilantro
(This recipe really stuck out to me as roasting butternut squash is one of my favorite ways to prepare it. Roasting the squash in little cubes ensures that the most surface space is exposed and this will create the sweetest bites you have ever tasted. After creating this recipe you can blend it up in soups, put it over salad or your favorite grain, or just eat them solo.)
Ingredients: Serves 6
4 pounds butternut squash, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 10 cups)
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons ground coriander
Salt and pepper
½ cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
½ cup cilantro leaves
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees . In a large bowl, toss the squash with the oil, coriander, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. On each of 2 large baking sheets, arrange the squash in a single layer and bake, turning occasionally, until tender and golden-brown, about 30 minutes. Transfer the squash to a serving bowl and toss with the crystallized ginger and cilantro. (Leave cilantro out if you don’t like the flavor.)
Green Beans and Radish Salad
(A chile-infused honey compliments the spicy radishes and gives the green beans some sweet heat)
Ingredients: Serves 4
1 lb. green beans, trimmed
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
½ lb. radishes, trimmed and quartered
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tbsp. honey, preferably chilli honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Blanch green beans until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and quickly plunge green beans into a bowl of ice water, to cool them. Drain. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add green beans, radishes, and garlic and cook until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add honey, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook until vegetables are just beginning to caramelize, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer salad to a large bowl; set aside to let cool slightly. Season salad with salt and pepper to taste and divide between 4 small plates. Serve at room temperature.
Thai-Inspired Cucumber Salad with Roasted Spiced Chickpeas
Ingredients: About 3 servings
½ cup seasoned rice vinegar
1.5-2 tablespoons natural cane sugar, to taste
½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
2 medium field cucumbers
1 red pepper, diced
1 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts, for garnish
Roasted spiced chickpeas (recipe @ http://ohsheglows.com/2013/06/05/thai-inspired-hydrating-cucumber-salad-with-roasted-spiced-chickpeas/)
Whisk dressing ingredients together in a small bowl and adjust to taste. Feel free to add more sweetener if you prefer. Set aside. Peel cucumbers, slice off the ends, and slice in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a small spoon (see photo in post if necessary). Slice halves into 1/8-inch “half moons” and toss into a large bowl. If your cucumbers are really big you can slice the half-moons in half as well. Dice the red pepper and red onion and add into bowl. Roughly chop cilantro and add into bowl. Pour in all the dressing and toss to combine. Let this salad sit for about 30 minutes in the fridge, tossing every 10 minutes or so to help the dressing soak in. Meanwhile, prepare the roasted chickpeas (if desired). Recipe follows. Portion into bowls and top with peanuts and optional roasted chickpeas. Serve immediately.

The most popular theory is that dinosaurs living on planet Earth have died massively since the collision of a huge asteroid with the planet, forming the Chicxulub Crater in Mexico.
For many years it was believed that this particular asteroid was responsible for the last mass extinction of animals in history.
But, it has recently turned out that everything started earlier.
Northwestern University Scientists in the United States investigated the fossilized shells of ancient molluscs and snails discovered earlier in Antarctica. More specifically, they carried out an isotopic analysis of the calcium contained in them.
They found a very high carbon dioxide content, which showed a strong greenhouse effect. Furthermore, dating shows that this happened before the fall of the asteroid, 65-66 million years ago.
Most likely, the greenhouse effect is related to the eruption of many volcanoes in the so-called Deccan Traps, an area of the Deccan Plateau in western and central India, which is one of the largest volcanic formations on Earth.
Due to the fact that these volcanoes release a lot of smoke and dust into the atmosphere, blocking access to the sun, animals have already suffered and died on Earth when this asteroid fell on the planet and dramatically accelerated all processes.
The huge volume of carbon dioxide strongly oxidized ocean water, which affected the chemical composition of the shells of snails and molluscs.
When the asteroid fell, water oxidation jumped to record levels. Therefore, not only terrestrial dinosaurs but also marine lizards, along with large molluscs, have disappeared as a result of the disaster.
According to scientists, analysis of the ancient greenhouse effect also allows us to predict what might happen on the planet these days, when carbon dioxide levels (CO2) also increased, but already due to anthropogenic impact (human activity). | <urn:uuid:aeb59aad-2f0a-4428-8495-b0ad967b0248> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.soulask.com/it-turns-out-that-dinosaurs-start-to-disappear-before-the-asteroid-strike/ | 2023-09-22T11:26:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.953262 | 373 |

I have an AKG D770 microphone that I use to record from my guitar amp. I tried using the same mic to record samples into my Korg Triton workstation's sampler and with the sensitivity on the Triton on maximum it records at very low levels. The impedance of the D770 is 600Ω, whereas I have seen mics with an impedance of 250Ω. Do you think this is the problem? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Editor Paul White replies: I don't think impedance is the problem, but you could probably do with a decent preamp between the mic and sampler, to boost the level a bit. You can use a mixer channel for this if you have a mixer. Also, for serious sampling you should be thinking about a capacitor or back‑electret mic, as they capture the top end of sounds rather better than dynamic models, as well as tending to be much more sensitive. A back‑electret mic that can run on batteries may also work well if you choose a sensitive model, as it could interface with your Triton's sampler input without needing a preamp. A true capacitor mic would need to be used with a preamp that can supply phantom power. | <urn:uuid:8950f49f-4857-480a-a44e-fad0bfb27896> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.soundonsound.com/sound-advice/q-do-have-mic-impedance-problem | 2023-09-22T11:50:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.961607 | 257 |

Manuel Montes, Senior Advisor on Finance and Development, South Centre, New York, comments on the connection between populism and globalisation. He says that many populations feel disadvantaged worldwide. There needs to be a greater level of cooperation between countries over how international trade is organised. Members of the international community need to agree on some minimum rules, so that local populations are protected as well as national companies.

South Centre hails Indian drug patent decision
From SOUTHNEWS, by Martin Khor:
“The ruling by the Supreme Court of India dismissing the petition from Novartis AG is a historic decision with positive global implications … The Novartis AG application had claimed a patent for a new salt form (imatinib mesylate), a medicine for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. Novartis sells this medicine in several countries under the brand name Glivec (Gleevec). The Indian patent office had rejected the patent application on the ground that the claimed new form was anticipated in a US patent of 1996 for the compound imatinib and that the new form did not enhance the therapeutic efficacy of the drug. The decision was upheld by the Indian Patents Appellate Board (IPAB).
The decision by the Supreme Court of India has significant positive global implications. It has effectively protected the leading role of India in supplying affordable medicines to other developing countries. The reaffirmation of the primacy of health and access to medicines as a right of citizens is particularly important for the international community when these rights are under significant threat under bilateral trade and investment agreements.”

Indian court rejects Novartis patent
German Velasquez, a special adviser for health and development at South Centre, a think tank based in Geneva, Switzerland, says he hopes that “many developing countries will follow India’s example to protect the rights of their populations to have access to essential medicines”. A 2011 study by South Centre found evidence of “a significant proliferation of patents on developments of incremental nature” in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, India and South Africa.

You can help put names on the Pluto maps that scientists will draw up after the first-ever flyby of the dwarf planet this summer.
Researchers working on NASA's New Horizons mission, which will zoom through the Pluto system on July 14, are asking the public to propose and vote on names for geological features the probe will identify on Pluto and its largest moon, Charon.
"Pluto belongs to everyone," New Horizon science team member Mark Showalter, of the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute in Mountain View, California, said in a statement. "So we want everyone to be involved in making the map of this distant world."
The SETI Institute is leading the "Our Pluto" naming campaign. The public can suggest and vote on monikers at http://ourpluto.seti.org through April 7; New Horizons team members will then go through the results and submit a batch of recommendations to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), which assigns "official" names to celestial objects and their features.
The IAU, of course, came up with a new definition of "planet" in 2006 that resulted in Pluto being reclassified as a dwarf planet. The decision remains controversial to this day.
Many names will doubtless be required after New Horizons' highly anticipated flyby. Pluto images captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, while fuzzy, show extensive bright and dark areas, suggesting that the frigid,1,400-mile-wide (2,300 kilometers) object has a complex and varied surface.
In 2013, the SETI Institute asked the public for help in naming two tiny Pluto moons that Showalter and his colleagues discovered using Hubble. These satellites, at first called P4 and P5, eventually became known as Kerberos and Styx. (Pluto's other known moons, in addition to Charon, are Nix and Hydra.)
But the current naming campaign should be much more involved than that previous one, researchers said.
"The difference is that last time we only needed two names, whereas now we could need more than a hundred," Showalter said. "We are eager to gather recommendations from people all over the world." | <urn:uuid:5cd9d499-c57d-4780-934e-2eb72defd49d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.space.com/28897-pluto-features-names-new-horizons.html | 2023-09-22T12:33:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.944056 | 449 |

Some movies of my childhood made a lasting impression. I saw The Sunshine Boys (1975) when my age was barely in double digits, and not since, but I remember a scene where George Burns berates Walter Matthau for eating too much sodium. “I’ll spit out the sodium,” Matthau snarls. They’re retired vaudevillians, comedy partners who split on bad terms but now are asked to reunite for a TV show. Matthau was only in his mid-50s when the movie came out, but adept at playing an aging curmudgeon. Burns was in his late-70s, and the hit gave new life to his career.
I thought about this when I read of Joe Biden’s travails involving classified documents. I’d already written about Donald Trump’s possible incarceration, but now I had an idea: “The Supermax Boys.” I texted my brother—a writer with a comedic bent—that this would be “like The Sunshine Boys, but with Biden and Trump in adjacent cells for stealing classified documents. Hilarious dialogue as they scream at each other through toilets.” My brother responded to the text with a like, which meant he didn’t think the concept merited discussion.
Possibly the first movie I ever saw was The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967), which had a screening at The Raleigh, a Catskills resort my family visited. This could’ve been a few years after its initial release, though I was young enough that, as I recall, that same visit I began crying in a daycare program because I thought a plan for the group to swim meant we were going to jump into the pool from a balcony. The Roman Polanski film is regarded as an eccentric mix of comedy and horror, but what I particularly remember is its portrayal of people in Transylvania wearing garlic wreaths around their necks to ward off vampires. One of the stars was Polanski’s soon-to-be wife Sharon Tate, who in 1969 was murdered by the Manson Family.
In the early-1970s, many parents, including mine, were less attentive to the suitability of movie content for their children. I saw The French Connection (1971) and was amused by Popeye Doyle’s talk of busting someone for “picking your feet in Poughkeepsie”; I enjoyed the famous car chase, which looked like it was under elevated tracks in Jackson Heights, Queens, near my home. Remarkably, at around age seven, I was taken to Deliverance (1972). Fortunately I didn’t understand the rape scene, but I recall Burt Reynolds, having killed an assailant, saying he doesn’t want a trial with a jury of the man’s relatives, which made good sense to me.
I’ll never forget the scene in The Godfather (1972) where Sonny is ambushed at a tollbooth. A team of assassins blasts the mafia scion with extended rounds of machine-gun fire from multiple directions, finally leaving his motionless, blood-covered body on the pavement. I watched this in a crowded theater, then broke the subsequent silence with a question: “Is he dead yet?” This generated audience laughter I hadn’t anticipated.
I didn’t see The Exorcist (1973) until many years after its first run, as my parents perhaps took heed of the publicity about its intensity. It’s for the best, as I already had a fear of demons, later exacerbated by The Omen (1976). Curiously, Jaws (1975) didn’t stir similar anxiety about sharks. I enjoyed Star Wars (1977), though prior to its release was wary of claims it would supersede the special effects of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), as I felt allegiance to Kubrick’s classic.
Five Fingers of Death (1972; released in the U.S. in 1973) marked the start of my lifelong interest in the martial arts. My mother brought my brother and me to see it at the Elmwood Theater on Queens Blvd. (Later I attended a tae kwon do school on an upper floor.) The movie has a scene where a man’s eyes are plucked out in a fight. I recall the eyes lying on the ground as the combatants continue; my brother says there’s a moment where someone steps on them, though I don’t remember this or the negative reaction he says it evoked from our mother.
On Tubi TV, I recently re-watched Circle of Iron (1978), a movie that fascinated me when I viewed it in my adolescence. It’s a mix of martial arts and fantasy that’s sunk into obscurity except for a cult following. It’s the story of Cord (Jeff Cooper), a fighter who must overcome various trials as he travels through deserts and woods seeking a showdown with Zetan (Christopher Lee), holder of a book of secret knowledge; David Carradine plays various roles. My wife and son walked in as I watched this film, took one look at the screen (then featuring Cord fighting a monkey-man) and decided they wanted nothing to do with it.

Sporting News' college football All-Decade team features players who starred in both the Bowl Championship Series and College Football Playoff eras.
Much like the decade itself, this list is dominated by Nick Saban's Alabama machine. A total of five Alabama players made the all-decade team, led by Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry. A total of 10 players from the SEC made the list – the most of any conference.
Sporting News remains one of five publications used to determine consensus All-Americans, and most of these are the players who dominated our postseason awards lists. With that in mind, a look at our All-Decade Team:
Sporting News' college football All-Decade team: Offense
QB: Deshaun Watson, Clemson
Why he's here: Watson didn't win a Heisman Trophy, but he elevated Clemson to a national champion with an incredible three-year stretch that included 10,163 passing yards and 90 touchdowns along with 1,934 rushing yards and 26 more scores. He finished 32-3 as a starter, and it was the two legendary performances against Alabama in the 2017 College Football Playoff championship game that defined his career. Watson fittingly closed that career with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Hunter Renfrow that gave the Tigers a national championship.
By the numbers: In the two matchups against Alabama, Watson accounted for 941 yards of offense with eight total touchdowns. He even added one punt for 38 yards.
RB: Derrick Henry, Alabama
Why he's here: Henry rushed for 2,219 yards in 2015 — a year in which he overshadowed LSU star Leonard Fournette to break the SEC’s all-time single-season rushing record. Henry was the ultimate workhorse that season with five games with 30-plus carries and four games with 200-plus yards. Henry willed the Crimson Tide to that national title.
By the numbers: Henry had 368 yards and six touchdowns in the victories against LSU and Clemson in 2015.
RB: Saquon Barkley, Penn State
Why he's here: A Big Ten running back had to be on this team, and we chose Barkley over Ezekiel Elliott (who led a national championship run at Ohio State) and Melvin Gordon (who nearly broke Barry Sanders’ single-season rushing record). Barkley, however, got the nod with an incredible three-year career that includes 5,538 all-purpose yards and 53 total touchdowns. Perhaps no running back had that blend of speed, power and play-making ability quite like Barkley.
By the numbers: Barkley’s most-memorable performance might have been in the Rose Bowl loss to USC, where he had 306 all-purpose yards and three TDs.
WR: Amari Cooper, Alabama
Why he's here: Alabama receivers Julio Jones and Jerry Jeudy could have made the list, but SN selected Cooper — who shattered the school record books with an incredible junior season that totaled 124 catches, 1,727 yards and 16 touchdowns. Lane Kiffin unlocked the potential with his star receiver, and Cooper finished third in the Heisman voting that season.
By the numbers: Cooper had nine games with multiple touchdown catches at Alabama, in which the Crimson Tide finished 8-1 in those games.
WR: Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma State
Why he's here: Blackmon set an FBS record with a streak of 14 straight 100-yard games that stretched through the 2010 and 2011 seasons. He continued a long tradition of great receivers at Oklahoma State with back-to-back monster years. The two-time Biletnikoff winner unanimous All-American finished his career with 3,564 yards and 40 touchdowns. Blackmon finished fifth in the Heisman voting in 2010.
By the numbers: Blackmon had 10 games in college with all of the following: 10 or more catches, 100 or more yards and a touchdown.
TE: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Washington
Why he's here: Seferian-Jenkins was a steady contributor in the offense for three seasons with the Huskies, and he was a reliable target in the red zone. He finished with 23 career receiving touchdowns, and had season-highs in receptions (69) and yardage (852) in 2012.
By the numbers: Seferian-Jenkins had eight games with 75 receiving yards or more at Washington.
T: Luke Joeckel, Texas A&M
Why he's here: Joeckel started in all 39 games at tackle for the Aggies and helped the program make the adjustment to the SEC. Joeckel developed into a 6-6, 309-bookend for Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel. He won the Outland Trophy and was a unanimous All-American selection in 2012.
By the numbers: Texas A&M averaged 242.1 rushing yards with Joeckel leading the way in 2012.
G: Pat Elflein, Ohio State
Why he's here: Elflein played in 55 games at Ohio State after redshirting in 2012, making the move from guard to center to win the Rimington Award in 2016. Elflein was a smart player and a leader of “The Slobs,” which helped carry the Buckeyes to a national championship in 2014.
By the numbers: Elflein was a three-time first-team Big Ten selection from 2014-16 and unanimous All-American in 2016.
C: Barrett Jones, Alabama
Why he's here: Jones was a mainstay on three national championship teams for Alabama, but the defining characteristic was his versatility. He played at guard, left tackle and center in Alabama's 2009, '11 and '12 title teams, respectively, and made those transitions while maintaining a 4.0 grade point average. Few athletes exemplify what Jones could do. He won the Outland Trophy in 2011 then won the Rimington Award in 2012.
By the numbers: Jones was a two-time consensus All-American and two-time Academic All-American at Alabama.
G: Quenton Nelson, Notre Dame
Why he's here: Sometimes an interior lineman comes along who is just flat-out nastier than everyone else. Nelson is that guy. He started in 12 games in each of the 2016 and '17 seasons for the Irish, and helped flip a losing team into a 10-win team that had a vaunted rushing attack. Nelson’s physical style has translated well with the Indianapolis Colts in the NFL.
By the numbers: The Colts took Nelson with the No. 6 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft; the highest a guard has even been taken.
T: Gabe Carimi, Wisconsin
Why he's here: Carimi had the unenviable task of replacing Joe Thomas at Wisconsin, but by his senior season the 6-7 tackle had lived up to expectations. He won the Outland Trophy in 2010 and was the lead blocker for a dominant offense that averaged 41.5 points per game.
By the numbers: Carimi started in 49 games in four seasons fort the Badgers.
ATH: Christian McCaffrey, Stanford
Why he's here: McCaffrey put together one of the most incredible seasons in college football history in 2015 with a record 3,903 all-purpose yards. He had 2,019 rushing yards, 645 receiving yards, 1,070 kickoff return yards and 130 punt return yards. There was nothing he could not do at Stanford, and that all-around talent continues at the next level.
By the numbers: McCaffrey closed that season with a record 368 all-purpose yards at the Rose Bowl in a 45-16 victory against Iowa.
SN’s ATHLETES OF THE DECADE
SN's college football All-Decade team: Defense
DE: Joey Bosa, Ohio State
Why he's here: Which Ohio State defensive end do you pick? Nick Bosa and Chase Young are possibilities here, but Joey Bosa set the standard with a career that included 26 sacks and 51 tackles for loss. He enjoyed a dominant 13.5-sack season in leading the Buckeyes to the first College Football Playoff championship. That opened the door for others to follow his footsteps.
By the numbers: Bosa had more tackles for loss at Ohio State than linebacker Andy Katzenmoyer, who finished with 50.
DT: Aaron Donald, Pitt
Why he's here: Donald piled up sacks and tackles for loss at Pitt from 2010-13, and he got better with each season. Donald finished his career 29.5 sacks and 66 tackles for loss from the interior: numbers that more than hinted a dominant career in the NFL would follow.
By the numbers: Donald had seven games with the Panthers where he had at least one sack and three tackles for loss in the same game.
DT: Ed Oliver, Houston
Why he's here: Oliver, a 6-1, 287-pound defensive tackle, was blessed with uncommon athletic ability from the interior. He was almost impossible to block at times for the Cougars, and he put together a three-year highlight reel that included 13.5 sacks and 53 tackles for loss.
By the numbers: Oliver’s signature game came against Louisville and Lamar Jackson in 2016, when he had three tackles for loss, two sacks, two passes defensed and a fumble recovery in a 36-10 victory.
DE: Jadeveon Clowney, South Carolina
Why he's here: Clowney delivered "The Hit" against Michigan’s Vincent Smith, a viral moment that defined his freakish ability off the edge. Clowney was the top recruit in the country, and he elevated the profile of the Gamecocks under Steve Spurrier. Clowney’s sophomore season — which included 13 sacks and 23.5 tackles for loss — showed just how dominant he was off the edge.
By the numbers: Clowney’s big hits registered. He ranks fifth all time in SEC history with nine forced fumbles.
LB: Manti Te'o, Notre Dame
Why he's here: Te'o was a five-star recruit and the heart of a turnaround that helped propel Notre Dame to the national championship game in 2012. Te'o had three straight seasons with 100 tackles or more, and he finished with seven interceptions in 2012. Te'o finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting that season.
By the numbers: Te'o finished with 437 tackles at Notre Dame. Only Bob Crable (521) and Bob Golic (479) have more.
LB: Luke Kuechly, Boston College
Why he's here: Kuechly swept the Lombardi, Nagurski, Lott and Butkus awards in 2011, and with good reason. The three-time All-American finished his college career with a 191-tackle season. Kuechly finished with 532 tackles and set the FBS record with 14.0 tackles per game for his career.
By the numbers: Kuechly had 15 games with 15 tackles or more at Boston College.
LB: C.J. Mosley, Alabama
Why he's here: The middle linebacker is the quarterback of Nick Saban’s defense at Alabama, and Mosley made an instant impact with 67 tackles as a freshman All-American in 2010. He played through injuries in 2011 before back-to-back seasons with 100-plus tackles in 2012-13.
By the numbers: Mosley was more than just a solid tackler. The 2013 Butkus recipient had 23 tackles for loss and 17 passes defended at Alabama.
CB: Patrick Peterson, LSU
Why he's here: Peterson won the Thorpe Award in 2010, and the two-time All-American flashed the skills of a shut-down cornerback throughout his career with the Tigers. He had seven interceptions and averaged 24.4 yards per interception return.
By the numbers: Peterson also was an electric returner who piled up 1,356 return yards between kickoffs and punts in 2010.
CB: Minkah Fitzpatrick, Alabama
Why he's here: Fitzpatrick won the Thorpe Award in 2017 and was a member of two national championship teams at Alabama. Fitzpatrick was a sleek defender with uncommon side-to-side range in coverage. He had nine interceptions with four returns for touchdowns, and it was his ability to move around the secondary that made him a matchup nightmare for opposing offenses. He piled on an average of 57 tackles per season, too.
By the numbers: Fitzpatrick averaged 30.4 yards per interception return.
S: Tyrann Mathieu, LSU
Why he's here: The "Honey Badger" had a knack for finding the football during a dominant stretch from 2010-11. Mathieu had four interceptions and eight fumble recoveries, adding two punt returns for touchdowns as a part of an incredible career with the Tigers. Mathieu’s penchant for big plays led to him finishing fifth in the Heisman voting in 2011.
By the numbers: Mathieu had 16 passes defended and 11 forced fumbles in just two seasons with the Tigers.
S: Jabrill Peppers, Michigan
Why he's here: Peppers played so many positions at Michigan we lost count, but he was a do-it-all defensive player who finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting in 2016. He was an instinctive player who took off in Don Brown’s defense in 2016. Peppers had just one career interception, but had 13 tackles for loss and three sacks in his junior season.
By the number Peppers scored five offensive touchdowns and had one punt return for a score with the Wolverines.
SN's college football All-Decade team: Specialists
K: Roberto Aguayo, Florida State
Why he's here: Aguayo burst on to the scene as a freshman on Florida State’s national championship team. He hit 21 of 22 field goals and made all 94 extra points in a 157-point season. Aguayo won the Lou Groza Award and was a three-time All-American before foregoing his senior year to enter the NFL Draft.
By the numbers: Aguayo hit 46 of 46 field goals from inside 40 yards in his college career.
P: Braden Mann, Texas A&M
Why he's here: Mann is wrapping up a magnificent career at Texas A&M where he averaged more than 47.0 yards per punt in each of three seasons. Mann even averaged a career-high 51 yards per punt as a junior. Mann won the Ray Guy Award in 2018.
By the numbers: Mann’s career average of 49.3 yards per punt would break the FBS record by almost three yards.
KR: Rashaad Penny, San Diego State
Why he's here: Perhaps no game showed Penny’s return skills more than the Aztecs' Nov. 18, 2017 game against Nevada. Penny had two touchdown runs, returned a punt 70 yards for a score in the first quarter and ran a kickoff back 100 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. Penny averaged 30.2 yards per kickoff return for his career.
By the numbers: Penny finished with seven kickoff returns for touchdowns, which is tied with three others for the FBS record.
PR: Dante Pettis, Washington
Why he's here: Pettis averaged 13.8 yards per catch and caught 24 touchdowns for the Huskies, but it was his punt return skills that put this explosive playmaker on the map. He returned a punt for a touchdown in the first three games of the 2017 season and averaged 14.2 yards per return for his career.
By the numbers: Pettis holds the FBS record with nine career punt return touchdowns. | <urn:uuid:9f226f9d-d262-45c7-b828-7e23ad26b3eb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-football/news/sporting-news-college-football-all-decade-team-for-the-2010s/k5uhgttkr3sx1kl7z2zhfowiq | 2023-09-22T11:44:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.97437 | 3,237 |

The match, which was played at the Arthur Ashe Stadium and lasted 1 hour and 53 minutes, saw World No. 1 Swiatek improve her head-to-head record against the 28-year-old American to 3-1.
In a press conference after the match, Pegula was asked if playing a match on Ashville Day, the day she got married last year, was a good omen for her. The eighth-ranked player responded by saying that although she hoped for a good omen, it didn't happen.
"I didn't realize it was Asheville Day until they said it on the court," Pegula said. "That's funny, I got married there. It's such, like, a small town in North Carolina, kind of random. I know we played Fed Cup there, so I don't know if there's some relationship with that. No, I thought that was really cool. I was hoping it was a good omen, but I guess not. But it's still kind of fun that it was Asheville Day and we got to play. It was cool."
Jessica Pegula made it to the quarterfinals in three out of four Majors this year. While she lost to eventual champion Ashleigh Barty at the 2022 Australian Open, Swiatek defeated her at the 2022 French Open and went on to win her second Grand Slam title.
Despite the defeats, the eighth seed American stated that she liked to challenge herself by facing top players.
"It was a fun match playing with Iga. I always like to play against the best in the world and challenge myself. That part I'll always be happy about," she added.
"I could really feel the crowd's energy" - Jessica Pegula
In the post-match press conference, Jessica Pegula also spoke about the energy that the crowd brought in during her quarterfinal clash against top seed Iga Swiatek. The American expressed her happiness at playing a night match that was attended by lively spectators as well as a few celebrities.
"It was great. Awesome. It was super awesome. Especially when I kept breaking to come back in the set, I could really feel their energy. I really wanted to get to a third for them. I guess it just wasn't on the cards. But it was really fun to play at night. It was fun to see all the celebrities and all the people they kept showing between the changeovers. Was pretty cool," she said.

Christ Manifesting Himself to His People
"Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?"—John 14:22
What a blessed Master Jesus Christ was! How familiar did he allow his disciples to make themselves with him! Though he was the Lord of life and glory, the great and mighty one, as well as the man of Nazareth, yet see how he talks with his poor disciples, the fishermen, just as if he had been one of the same class and order with themselves! He was none of your dignitaries who pride themselves on that dignity—none of those ecclesiastics who love to carry much of formality about them, and to walk above other men, as if they were not indeed their fellows; but he talks to his disciples just as a father would to his children—even more kindly than a master might to his pupils. He lets them put the simplest questions to him, and instead of rebuking them for their familiarity, he condescends to answer everything they please to ask him. Philip uttered a sentence which one would think no sensible man, who had been so long time with Jesus, ever could have troubled him with. He said, "Show us the Father and it sufficeth us." A stupid idea! As if Jesus Christ could shew the Father; that is to say, could shew God to Philip! And Jesus kindly answered—"Hast thou been so long time with me, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father." And now comes Judas (not Iscariot); and he puts also a very simple and easy question—one he needed not to have asked; but Jesus Christ, instead of rebuking him, simply passes on to another subject, and forbears most wisely to answer the enquiry, because he would teach him more by silence than he could do by an explanation.
We must also notice here how very particular the Holy Ghost is that a good man should not be confounded with a bad one. He says, "Judas, not Iscariot." There were two of the name of Judas; the one who betrayed our Lord, and the other who wrote the epistle of Jude, who should properly have been called Judas. Some of us, in reading the name Judas, might have said, "Ah! it was that traitor Judas Iscariot that asked the question." But the Holy Spirit would not allow this mistake to be made. This again should teach us, that it is not an idle wish for us to desire that our name should be handed down to posterity. We ought all to wish to have an unblemished character; we ought to desire to have that promise fulfilled, "The memory of the just is blessed." I would not wish my name to be mistaken for that of some criminal who was hanged. I would not wish to have my name written even by mistake in the calendar of infamy. However much I may now be misrepresented, it will one day be known that I have honestly striven for the glory of my Master; and God will say, "Judas, not Iscariot." The man was no deceiver after all.
But we will now forsake Judas altogether, and proceed to look at our text. It contains two things: first, an important fact; secondly, an interesting enquiry. "Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?" Here is a fact, and an enquiry concerning it.
I. First, then, here is A GREAT FACT: that Jesus Christ does reveal himself to his people, but he does not unto the world. The fact is implied in the question; and even if Scripture did not declare it to be the truth, there are many of us who have a Scripture written in our hearts—the Bible of experience—which teaches us that it is true. Ask Christian men whether they have not had manifestations of their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, in a peculiar and wonderful manner, such as they never felt when they were in their unregenerate state. Turn to the biographies of eminent saints, and you will find there instances recorded in which Jesus has been pleased, in a very special manner to speak to their souls, to unfold the wonders of his person, and let them discern the matchless glories of his office; yea, so have their souls been steeped in happiness that they have thought themselves to be in heaven, whereas they were not there though they were well nigh on the threshold of it—for when Jesus manifests himself to his people, it is a young heaven on earth, it is a paradise in embryo, it is the beginning of the bliss of the glorified; yea, and it shall be the consummation of that bliss, when Jesus Christ shall perfectly unveil himself to the admiring eyes of all his people and they shall be like him, and shall see him as he his.
We are about to talk somewhat this morning, then, concerning that special manifestation which Jesus Christ vouchsafes to his people, and to his people only. We will make four observations here. We will observe, first, something concerning the favored persons—"unto us,""not unto the world." Secondly, concerning special seasons—"How is it that thou wilt?" He was not doing it just then; but "thou wilt." There are special seasons. Thirdly, some remarks concerning the wonderful display—"Thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, as thou dost not unto the world." Then, fourthly, we shall dwell a little upon the effects which this manifestation will produce upon our souls.
1. First, then, who are the favored people to whom Jesus Christ manifests himself? "How is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us,and not unto the world?" It appears from the text that the persons to whom Jesus Christ shews himself in this wonderful manner do not belong to the world. Who, then, are these people? I am sure it would be difficult for you or me to discover them; I shall, therefore, this morning employ a fiction, and shall bid some spirit from an unknown world point out these distinguished individuals. O spirit! I give thee an errand. There are a certain number of people in this world who are not of it: go thou, search them out, and come thou back and tell me what thou hast found. We give the spirit time, he flies round the world, and he returns. "I have seen," says he, "a multitude of men; they are all pursuing one common path, with one object I have seen them trampling on each other in the fury of their hot pursuit; have seen them hurrying after something which each one desired for himself; but in the midst of the throng I saw a few marching in an opposite direction, who with much elbowing and strong opposition were going exactly contrary to the stream. I saw written on the foreheads of those who were proceeding with the crowd, the word 'Self;' but I marked those who were proceeding in the other direction, and behold, they had inscribed upon their brows, 'Christ;' and as I listened to them frequently in their soliloquies I heard them say, 'For us to live is Christ, for us to die is gain.' I marked these men, I saw them constantly pursuing their way in the teeth of all defiance, going against every opposition; I wondered where they were going; and I saw that before them was a wicket-gate, and on it the words; 'Mercy for the chief of sinners.' I saw them enter there; I marked them as they ran along the walls of salvation, and tracking them along to their destination, I saw them at last fold their arms in death, shut their eyes with tranquility; while I heard angels sing their requiem, and a voice shouted, 'Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.' Surely these must be the persons who are not of the world." Thou hast spoken rightly, O spirit; these are the individuals. What didst thou see of them, O spirit? Did they assemble and congregate together; or did they mix with the rest of humanity? "Why," saith he, "I noticed that once in the week they crowded to a certain place they called the House of God; I heard their song of praise; I saw them bend their knee in reverence, not only in that house, but in private; I witnessed their groanings, their strugglings, and their agonies, I knew that they were men of prayer, and men that loved God. I saw them gather in secret assemblies, to tell what the Lord had done for their souls; I marked that they would not be found with the wicked. I saw some houses that they would not enter. At the corner of the street there stood a house, well lighted up with many a lamp; and there were on its front some mystic cabalistic signs, the marks of woe and ill-doings. I saw the wicked there, reeling to and fro; I observed them in their drunkenness. But I marked how the Christian man put up his hand before his eyes, and passed by that place. I saw too another haunt of hell, where there were enacted scenes that eye should not have beheld—where shouts of revelry and mirth, but not songs of holiness, were heard. I looked round that theater, and I discerned not a single one of these blessed persons; they would not run in the ways of the wicked, nor sit in the seat of the scorner, nor stand in the council of the unrighteous. I marked that like 'birds of a feather they would flock together'—that they found their mates, and there they went—that they built their nest in the same tree, and would make their habitation beneath the self-same roof." "Yea," saith the spirit, "I heard one of them exclaim, 'He that telleth lies shall not abide in my sight.' I saw him drive the liar from his house, and bid the profligate depart from him. I marked them; they were a select and separate people and I said, surely these are the men of whom it is written, 'They shall dwell alone, they shall not be numbered among the people.'" Well, spirit, rightly hast thou described them. I wonder how many there are here; the men to whom God will reveal himself, and not to the world. They are men who are not worldly in principle, in action, in conversation, in desires, in object, or in end. These are the persons. Do not tell me anything about universal grace, or universal manifestations, while I have the power I will proclaim free grace to peculiar characters, as long as I find it written, "Thou wilt manifest thyself to us, but not to the world."
Our next remark is concerning special seasons. These highly favored men do not always see Jesus Christ alike. They do not always dive in the sunshine of his countenance. There are special times when God is pleased to reveal himself to his people. And these seasons are generally of two kinds: times of duty, and times of trial. I never found a lazy or indifferent Christian have a manifestation of Jesus Christ; I never heard one who gave himself wholly to business talk much of spiritual manifestations. No, poor soul; he had got religion enough to save him, but not enough to make him realize the spiritual and special blessings of a Christian. Those who do but little for Christ, Christ does but little for them in the way of special favors. Those who sit down, fold their arms, eat, drink, and are satisfied, are not the men who enter into the secret chamber of the Most High, and enjoy the presence of the Almighty. The men who are the most zealous for their Master discern the most of his lovingkindness, and enjoy the richest blessings from the Lord. Ask a Christian when he is the happiest, he will say, when he works the most. I know I am. I have not tried rest yet, and no doubt I shall find it anything but rest when I have it. When I pass a day without preaching my Master's name I feel that I have not done what I ought to have done, and I do not rest satisfied till I am within the four boards of a pulpit again. When we work the hardest we feel grace the most plentiful, when we dig the deepest we get the sweetest water. He who toils the most has his bread the most sweetened; and depend upon it, drops of sweat are blessed things to make dry bread go down. We shall always have mere happiness the more we labor for Christ. As for Issachar, who is a strong ass, crouching down between two burdens—the man who is doing little—the promise is, "A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back." The man who is idle must have chastisement; but he who serves his God may rejoice, for God will treat him with dainties; he will give him his portion mixed with honey; he will say, "I have taken thy bread and dipped it in my own dish; take it, and eat it, for thou art one who works in my own vineyard." It will be in seasons of duty; or, as I have said, in seasons of trial for you must not suppose when a Christian is laid aside from duty that he is doing nothing. Do not imagine that the time of your sickness has been lost to you. You were not only profiting yourselves, but actually serving God by your suffering, if you bore it patiently. Don't you know the text—"We fill up that which is behind of the sufferings of Christ, for his body's sake, which is the church." Christ's mystical body you are aware is made up of the head and all the members. The head had a certain amount to suffer—that is all finished; but the body has a measured portion to endure also; and the more you suffer so much the less suffering there is for somebody else. There is a certain quantum of trial which the whole church has to sustain before it gets to heaven; for as Jesus Christ was afflicted, even so the whole of his people must have fellowship with his sufferings. There is a cup that is full of mixture, and the righteous must drink it; we must all have a sip thereof; but if one of us can take a deep draught, and do it patiently, there is so much the less for our fellows. Let us not complain, then; for it is in the time of trouble we see most of Jesus. Before Israel fought Amalck, God gave them water from the rock, and sent them manna from heaven; and before Jacob met Esau, the angel of God wrestled with him at the brook Jabbok, and hosts of angels met him at Mahanaim. Previous to trial you may generally expect a season of joy; and when that season of joy is over, you may say, "We must expect some danger now, for we have received too much delight." But when the trial comes, then expect to have delight with it; for our troubles are generally proportioned to our joys, and our joys are usually proportioned to our troubles. The more bitter the vessel of grief, the sweeter the cup of consolation; the heavier weight of trial here, the brighter the crown of glory hereafter. In fact, the same word in Hebrew signifies "weight "and "glory." A weight of trouble is a glory to a Christian, for it is an honour to him; and glory is a weight, for it often bows him down, and makes him die low at his Master's feet. I appeal to my brothers and sisters, and ask them when it is they have seen most of Jesus—when they have been walking in the garden of delights, or when the bitter medicine has been in their mouth. Have you not had better visions of Jesus, when you have been racked with pain, than when you have been elevated by prosperity? When the barn has been full, the oil vat has been bursting, and the wine has been running over, it is often then that the sanctuary of God has been forsaken and the cabinet of God's loving-kindness is nearly disregarded. But when the fig-tree does not blossom, and when there are no herds in the stalls, then it is that God often comes nearest to his children, and most reveals himself to them.
2. The next thought is, the wondrous display itself. Jesus Christ manifest himself. There are many manifestations of God to his children, but this is the most precious of all. Some manifestations we never wish to have again. We do not want to have that discovery which we had of our sinfulness, when first we were awakened: we will leave it to God, but we will never pray for it. But here is a manifestation we should like to have every day. "I will manifest myself to him." He does this in different ways. I have had for a long while a manifestation of his sufferings in Gethsemane; I have been for months musing on his agonies; I think I have even eaten the bitter herbs that grow there, and drank of that black brook Kedron. I have sometimes gone up stairs alone, to put myself in the very posture Jesus Christ was in and I thought I could sympathize with him in his sufferings. Methought; saw the sweat of blood falling down to the ground; I had so sweet a view of my Saviour in his agonies, I hope that one day I may be able to accompany him still further, and see him on Calvary, and hear his death-shriek "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" Some of you, I know, have seen Jesus with the eye of faith quite as plainly as if you had seen him with your natural eyes. You could see your Saviour hanging on the cross. You thought you saw the very crown of thorns on his head, and the drops of blood streaming down his face; you heard his cry; you saw his bleeding side; you beheld the nails, and before long you could have gone and pulled them out, and wrapped him up in linen and spices, and carried his body, and washed it with tears and anointed it with precious ointment. At other times you have had a manifestation of Christ in his gifts. You have seen that mighty sacrifice he offered, the pile smoking up to heaven, and all your sins burnt up with it; you have seen clearly the justifying righteousness he has put upon you; and as you have looked at yourselves you have said—
"Strangely, my soul, art thou arrayed.
By the great sacred Three;
In sweetest harmony of praise.
Let all my powers agree."
There are times when you have felt much joy at the exaltation of Jesus Christ, as displayed in his gifts. Then, again, you will see him in his triumph, with one foot upon Satan, and the other upon death. You will be able to behold him, marching up the sky, with all the glittering hosts behind him; and in due time you will have a manifestation of him to your soul, as sitting on his Father's throne until his enemies are made his footstool. And faith will sometimes so outsoar the wings of time, that we can bring futurity to the present, and see that great and pompous appearance, when on the great white throne the king shall sit and grasp his scepter, and when his saints before him shall shout his praise. If I were to go much farther, I should be accused of fanaticism, and so it may be; but yet I will believe and must believe that there are seasons when the Christian lives next door to heaven. If I have not gone within an inch of the pearly gates I am not here; if I have not sometimes snuffed the incense from the censers of the glorified and heard the music of their harps, I think I am not a living man. There have been seasons of ecstatic joy, when I have climbed the highest mountains, and I have caught some sweet whisper from the throne. Have you had such manifestations? I will not condemn you if you have not: but I believe most Christians have them, and if they are much in duty and much in suffering they will have them. It is not given to all to have that portion, but to some it is, and such men know what religion means. I was reading a short time ago of a Mr. Tennant. He was about to preach one evening, and thought he would take a walk. As he was walking in a wood he felt so overpoweringly the presence of Christ, and such a manifestation of him, that he knelt down, and they could not discover him at the hour when he was to have preached. He continued there for hours, insensible as to whether he was in the body or out of the body; and when they waked him he looked like a man who had been with Jesus, and whose face shone. He never should forget, he said, to his dying day, that season of communion, when positively, though he could not see Christ, Christ was there, holding fellowship with him, heart against heart, in the sweetest manner. A wondrous display it must have been. You must know something of it, if not much; otherwise you have not gone far on your spiritual course. God teach you more, and lead you deeper! "Then shall ye know, when ye follow on to know the Lord."
4. Then what will be the natural effects of this spiritual manifestation? The first effect will be humility. If a man says, "I have had such and such spiritual communications, I am a great man;" he has never had any communications at all; for "God has respect unto the humble, but the proud he knoweth afar off." He does not want to come near them to know them, and will never give them any visits of love. It will give a man happiness; for he must be happy who lives near to God. Again: it will give a man holiness. A man who has not holiness has never had this manifestation. Some men profess a great deal; but do not believe any man unless you see that his deeds answer to what he says. "Be not deceived, God is not mocked." He will not bestow his favors upon the wicked; for while he wild not cast away a perfect man, neither will he respect an evil doer. Thus there will three effects of nearness to Jesus, all beginning with the letter h—humility, happiness, and holiness. May God give them to us!
II. Now for the second point: AN INTERESTING INQUIRY. Judas said, How is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?" How was this inquiry suggested, and how was it answered.
First, it was suggested by ignorance. Poor Judas thought—"How can Jesus manifest himself to us, and not to the world? Why, if he comes down again, the world will see him as well as we do. How can he do it? Suppose he appears in a chariot of fire, or descends in a cloudy pillar: if we see him, the world must see him too." So, poor thing, he very ignorantly said, "How can it be, Lord?" Perhaps, too, the question was put by reason of his great kindness. "Ah! Lord", said he, "how can it be that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not unto the world?" He was slightly an Arminian; he wanted it all to be given to everybody; and he said, "How is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not unto the world? "O Lord!" said he, "I wish it were for everybody. I wish it were: my benevolence bids me wish it." Ah! my beloved, we never need be more benevolent than God is. Some say, "If all sinners were saved it would glorify God more." Certainly God knows better than we do how many sinners will glorify him, and we had better leave the number to him, and not get meddling with what we have no business with. It says in Scripture, "Fools will be meddling;" and fools they are who go meddling with what is no concern of theirs. But however this was, Judas said, "Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?" Perhaps, again, it was love to his Master that made him put the question. "O Lord, I thought thou wouldst come and be king over all the world; and now it appears that thou art only to be king over some." He wished Christ's dominion might be universal; he wanted to see every heart the Saviour's throne, he desired every one to bow to him, and a very just and laudable wish it was; and so he asked Christ, "How can it be, Lord, that thou wilt not conquer all?" Jesus never answered the question. It was right to ask it; but we shall never get the solution of it till we get up yonder; perhaps not there. Yet again: perhaps the question was proposed by admiration. "Oh!" he said, "how is it that thou wilt manifest to us, and not unto the world?" Why, he might have said of himself, "What am I? What is my brother Peter here? Nothing but a fisherman. What is John? Nothing but a fisherman. And as for Matthew, he was a publican, and cheated hundreds. And Zaccheus, how many widows' houses did he devour! And yet 'thou sayest thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world.' There stands Mary the sinner: what did she do, that thou shouldst manifest thyself to her? And there is Mary Magdalene: she had seven devils. 'Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us and not unto the world.' Is not this a question we have often had to ask of our own souls?
"Pause, my soul, adore and wonder;
Ask, O why such love to me?"
And the only answer we could give was,
"Grace hath put me in the numbe
Of the Saviour's family."
Come to me and ask me, "Sir, why am I a Christian? Why does God love me?"
I must reply "Because he does love you."
"But why does he love me?"
The only answer I can give you again is, "because he would love you." For it is written, "He will have mercy on whom he will have mercy. Surely we might admiringly stand here and say, "Lord, why, Lord, why dost thou manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?" "Yes," but some would say, "because ye are better than the world; that is the reason." A fine lot better by nature, certainly! Better than the world by nature? Why, some of us were rather worse. There are some of you here who indulged once in every form of vice; who would blush to stand up here, and tell the sins you have committed. But God has manifested himself to you as he does not unto the world. Surely we shall have a perpetual cause of wonder in the doings of sovereign grace.
But what is the answer? Why does Christ manifest himself to some as he does not unto the world? The question was not answered; for it was unanswerable. Our Lord went on to say—"If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." He did not tell him why he would manifest himself unto them, and not unto the world. I have often been asked this question myself; "You say God manifests himself to some, and not to others—can you tell me why?" Well, Jesus Christ did not, and I cannot be expected to do it, any more than he did. But I will ask you whether you have any objection to it. Is it no enough that he should do so? He has declared that has he "power over the clay, to make of the same lump one vessel unto honour and another unto dishonour;" and if any one finds fault he saith, "Who art thou, O man? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, why hast thou made me thus?" What man shall ask of his father, "Why hast thou begotten me?" "Am I not God, and can I not do what I will with my own?" "But," says the objector, "is it not unjust for God to manifest himself to one and not to the other?" God replies: "Dost thou charge me with injustice? In what respect? Do I owe thee anything? Bring the bill and I will pay it. Do I owe you grace? Then grace would not be grace; it would be a debt. If I owe you grace, you shall have it." "But why should my brother have it? He is equally as bad as I." "Surely," replies the king, "I may give as I please." Thou hast two beggars at thy door: hast thou not a right to turn one away, and give the other something? And can I not do as I will with my own? "I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy, and to whom I will I give it." "Well," says the objector, "suppose I ask and plead for it, shall I not have it? "Yes, thou shalt," says God, for so the promise runs—"Every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." "But I cannot have it unless it is written that I shall have it." "Yes, but if thou askest, it is written that thou shalt ask; and the means are as much ordained as the end; thou couldst not ask unless I inclined thee; and now do not talk to me of injustice. I ask you to find the passage in my word where I ever promised to give grace to every one. Vile wretch! hast thou not rebelled against me? Thy doom is to be sent to hell for ever. Dost thou not deserve it?" "Yes." "Then who art thou that darest to accuse me of injustice? If I have fifty men on a scaffold to be hanged, have I not a right to pardon which I will, and give the punishment to all the rest? Wilt thou not yield to it?" "No," says the objector, "I will never yield to it." "Then, my friend expect not salvation till thou dost." Is there a man here who kicks against divine sovereignty? It is a testing doctrine; and if he does not receive it, it shows that his pride is not out of him. If we do but preach divine sovereignty, some will say, "That man is an Antinomian and a hyper. "We disdain your slander, and remind you that the accusation might more properly be made against yourself. It is you that are the Antinomian, in rebelling against divine sovereignty. But a man who receives the doctrine of sovereignty will go to the throne, saying,
"Perhaps he will admit my plea,
Perhaps will hear my prayer:
But if I perish I will pray,
And perish only there."
And now, what say you to this, my friends? I know what some would say. They would cry, "Nonsense" we believe religion is a thing very good to keep people in order; but as to these manifestations and these ecstacies, we do not believe in them." Very well, beloved, I have just proved the truth of what the text says. He does not manifest himself unto the world; and you have proved yourself that you are one of the world, because you have not any manifestations. But there are some Christians here who say, "We do not know much about these manifestations." No, I know you do not. The church has been getting for the last few years into a lean, starved state; God has sent very few preachers who would preach up these special things, and the church has been getting lower and lower; and what would become of us I cannot tell, if there were not saved a little salt, which God has scattered over the putrifying mass. Some of us have been living on low ground, when we might have been standing on high places; We have been tarrying in the valley of Baca, when we might as well have been living on the top of Carmal. I would not choose to dwell in a valley, if I might build my house on the delectable mountains. O Christian! up this morning! Let thy feet be shod with light once more; trip lightly across the plain of trouble; get to the side of Calvary; ascend to the very summit; and from Calvary I tell thee, thou canst see across the plain as far as heaven itself if thou canst but get to Pisgah's top, thou shalt sing,
"Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dressed in living green."
And your spirit shall become like the chariots of Amminadib. Seek, my brethren such spiritual manifestations, if you have never experienced them; and if ye have been privileged to enjoy them, seek more of them; for what is there can so certainly make life happy, and so fit you for the sky, as these revelations of Jesus Christ? Oh! ye who despise what we enjoy, from the depths of my soul I pity you. Take heed, lest the first revelation you have of Christ be, when he shall be revealed in flaming fire, taking vengeance on his enemies; for if he is not revealed in mercy, he will be in justice. God give you grace to see him on Calvary before you see him on Sinai, to behold him as the Saviour of sinners before you see him as the judge of quick and dead. God bless you, and lead you to back these manifestations constantly! Amen. | <urn:uuid:b730c5fd-9bc3-4c9c-addb-c5235723cbb9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.spurgeon.org/resource-library/sermons/christ-manifesting-himself-to-his-people/ | 2023-09-22T12:59:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.984091 | 7,209 |
