Moving is often a big hassle, especially when you relocate across the country. No matter how careful you plan your move, unforeseen expenses and other difficulties seem to pop up. Hiring a moving company is one of the biggest decisions for a long distance move. But, taking your time and researching several long distance movers can help minimize additional expenses and other problems along the way.
When you have to trust long distance movers with your possessions, you want to select a well known company that has a reputation of trust and reliability. Cost is also a factor for most people. Getting quotes from two or three companies can help you find a company that provides services closest to your budget. You may have to give up on some of the more expensive services if a full service company is too expensive. There are options that you can look into to see if a more cost effective solution would be better for your move.
Some long distance movers offer moving storage units. This is an ideal situation if the cost of full service, long distance movers is out of the question. More work is involved when hiring a moving service that offers moving storage units. Since you do the packing and loading yourself, you need to take the necessary precautions to make sure your items arrive safely to your destination. If you feel more secure having professional full service long distance movers take care of packing, loading and moving your possessions, you will need to accept the expense that comes with it. But, if you feel secure in knowing you can pack your own belongings safely, you can save money by hiring movers with moving units.
The Internets provides many sources when it comes to reviewing and selecting long distance movers. Many guides are available to help make your move easier. Doing thorough research on each company that you consider is one of most important steps. The Better Business Bureau is a good source to get information to see if the company is a member and to see if there are any negative reports. Reading online reviews is also a good way to find positive and negative information about different moving companies. You will have a less likely chance of running up added expenses and running into difficulties when you make your selection after you do some research. | <urn:uuid:2995a15c-24ed-4261-ab4a-ed0de32b5c4b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://web-affairs.com/2012/05/no-hassle-moving-with-long-distance-movers/ | 2023-09-23T17:59:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.962883 | 441 |
Like people, dogs have a type of virus called papilloma virus that can lead to the formation of papillomas, otherwise known as warts. In people, papillomas are found most commonly on the hands and fingers, toes and feet, and genital regions. In dogs, warts caused by papilloma virus most commonly occur around the mouth and less commonly around the eyes.
Warts in dogs present a bit differently than they do in people. Whereas human warts tend to be smooth and round, papilloma warts in dogs have an irregular, cauliflower appearance, with most falling into a size range of 1 – 5 mm. As previously mentioned, they occur most commonly around the lips, sometimes on the mucus membranes of the inner lips and gums, and rarely around the eyes. They do not cause pain, unless one or more become infected from trauma and/or bacteria in the mouth.
Infection with papilloma virus most commonly occurs through direct contact with another infected dog or with the virus in the pet’s environment. The virus can be quite hardy and can be seen to persist in the environment for several hours to as long as 2 months. Incubation from the time of infection to the development of papilloma warts is 1-2 months. Infection is most common in young dogs, less than 2 years of age. CANINE PAPILLOMA WARTS ARE NOT CONTAGIOUS TO PEOPLE, NOR ARE PEOPLE PAPILLOMA WARTS CONTAGIOUS TO DOGS.
The papilloma warts themselves do not pose any significant danger to the infected dog. As the canine patient’s immune system matures and mounts a meaningful defense against papilloma virus, the warts will typically go away on their own in 1-5 months.
In the vast majority of cases, treatment is not necessary, but in the rare cases of papilloma warts that persist for longer than 5 months, or the number of warts are so severe that the dog has problems even eating, then the surgical removal of one or a few warts has been known to speed up the rate at which the canine immune system clears the warts. Interferon has also been shown to speed the clearance of papilloma warts.
In my 10 years plus career as a veterinarian, I have not ever had to resort to any treatment measures for canine papilloma virus, with waiting out the warts being an effective approach in every case I have seen.

Kayaking, an exhilarating water sport that involves propelling oneself in a small narrow boat using a double-bladed paddle, is rapidly gaining popularity as the ultimate adventure for outdoor recreation travel. With its versatility and accessibility, kayaking offers enthusiasts of all skill levels the opportunity to explore diverse aquatic landscapes and experience nature from a unique perspective. Consider, for instance, the case of John, an avid adventurer who embarks on a solo kayaking trip down the untamed rapids of the Colorado River. His journey not only pushes his physical limits but also immerses him in breathtaking scenery and fosters a deep connection with the natural environment.
The allure of kayaking lies in its ability to provide individuals with an unparalleled sense of freedom and exploration amidst nature’s wonders. As one navigates through winding rivers or glides across serene lakes, they become immersed in their surroundings – observing wildlife species flourishing along riverbanks or witnessing dramatic cliffs towering overhead. This intimate interaction with nature cultivates a profound appreciation for the delicate balance between human existence and the natural world. Moreover, kayaking serves as more than just a thrilling activity; it offers an escape from the hectic pace of modern life by allowing individuals to disconnect from technology and reconnect with themselves through solitary moments spent padd ling in tranquil waters.
For John, the solo kayaking trip down the Colorado River becomes a transformative experience. As he navigates through challenging rapids and encounters unexpected twists and turns, he learns to trust his instincts and adapt to ever-changing conditions. This journey pushes him beyond his comfort zone, testing his physical strength and mental resilience. In moments of uncertainty, he finds solace in the rhythmic motion of paddling, allowing him to find clarity and focus amidst the chaos of rushing water.
Beyond the physical challenges, kayaking also offers John a chance to connect with himself on a deeper level. With each stroke of the paddle, he enters a state of flow – a mental state where he is fully absorbed in his actions and completely present in the moment. This mindfulness allows him to let go of worries and distractions, bringing him closer to his true self. In this solitude, surrounded by nature’s beauty, John gains perspective and finds inner peace.
In addition to personal growth, kayaking provides an avenue for environmental awareness and conservation. By exploring untouched waterways and witnessing firsthand the fragile ecosystems they support, individuals like John develop a sense of responsibility towards preserving these natural wonders. They become advocates for clean water initiatives, wildlife protection efforts, and sustainable outdoor practices.
In conclusion, kayaking offers adventure seekers like John an opportunity to escape into nature’s embrace while pushing their own boundaries. It fosters a profound connection with both oneself and the environment, leaving participants transformed by its power. As more people discover the joys of kayaking, it is crucial that we continue to prioritize responsible outdoor recreation practices to ensure these pristine landscapes endure for generations to come.

The benefits of kayaking for physical and mental well-being
Section Title: The benefits of kayaking for physical and mental well-being
Building upon the fundamental skills discussed earlier, let us now explore the numerous benefits that kayaking offers for both our physical and mental well-being. Through its unique combination of outdoor exploration and physical activity, kayaking can provide individuals with a refreshing escape from their daily routines while improving various aspects of their health.
Imagine this scenario: Emma, an office worker who spends most of her days sitting in front of a computer screen, decides to try kayaking during her vacation. As she paddles through calm waters surrounded by picturesque scenery, she feels an immediate sense of tranquility. This serene environment allows Emma to disconnect from technology and immerse herself in nature’s beauty. Such moments of solitude and connection with the natural world are just one example of how kayaking can positively impact our mental well-being.
In addition to promoting mental relaxation, kayaking also provides several physical health benefits. Engaging in regular kayaking sessions contributes to improved cardiovascular fitness as it requires continuous upper body movement combined with core strength engagement for stability. Moreover, the act of paddling helps strengthen muscles in the arms, shoulders, back, and chest while providing low-impact exercise for joints. These physical benefits make kayaking an excellent choice for individuals seeking a full-body workout without excessive strain on their bodies.
- Sense of freedom: Gliding across open waterways instills a liberating feeling that can boost self-confidence.
- Stress relief: Kayaking serves as a stress-relieving activity that diverts attention away from everyday worries.
- Connection with nature: Immersing oneself in natural surroundings promotes feelings of awe and appreciation.
- Adventure and exploration: Exploring unfamiliar territories via kayak opens up new horizons and fosters personal growth.
To highlight some additional advantages, consider the following table:
|Benefits of Kayaking||Physical||Mental||Social|
|Improved endurance||Reduced stress levels||Enhanced mood and well-being||Opportunities for group activities|
|Increased strength||Increased self-esteem||Boosted creativity||Bonding with like-minded individuals|
|Weight management||Sharpened focus||Decreased anxiety||Sense of community belonging|
This table underscores how kayaking can positively impact various dimensions of our lives, extending beyond physical and mental well-being to encompass social aspects as well.
Incorporating these elements into your life can enhance its quality in countless ways. By immersing oneself in the tranquility of nature, engaging in a full-body workout, and fostering personal growth through exploration, kayaking offers a holistic approach to improving overall wellness.

Jo Daye from Accent Events had been hearing a lot of comments from couples that they felt weddings in Sorrento were developing a conveyor belt image. Gio feels these comments are unjustified, continue reading to find our why…
Sorrento is synonymous with weddings and is a popular choice for many British couples. Popularity can often bring with it the trappings of commercialism. The Caribbean suffered a similar phenomenon. Conveyor belt weddings was often quoted and it is something that is being said about having a wedding in Sorrento.
I want to encourage all couples who are looking at having a wedding in Sorrento to not be put off by comments on forums, because Sorrento has so much to offer because its strongest attraction is variety. Sorrento is a location that can fulfil 5* glamour (Bellevue Syrene, Hotel La Favorita, Hotel Meditarraneo, Villa Antiche Mura) with the corresponding budget or it can be do a budget wedding against 5* scenery and hospitality.
In today’s world of travel – we are seeking an authentic experience something that is true and honest and with local identity and tradition at its heart. Sometimes the authentic is applied to a lesser known region, somewhere that is yet to be packaged up as a major wedding destination.
Indeed, there is much to be said about being “a little daring” and travelling the extra couple of hours to reach such locations. The fact that you have ventured off the tourist trail you will stand out more and on the wedding day it is highly likely you will be “embraced” by the local residents in recognition of your special day but because you are contributing to their livelihood and in smaller places this is extremely important.
Sorrento on the other hand is the largest of the Amalfi Coast towns and sees in excess of 400 destination weddings each year and the number is growing due to well-known travel companies promoting the area.
Please do not be put off by this, as a wedding planner that operates on the Amalfi Coast we recognise the importance of staying ahead of the game, mixing things up, thinking about new ways to showcase the very best of what is on offer in the heart of Sorrento or in the mountains a short drive away.
In my own response to enquiries I write that Accent Events starts with carte blanche for each couple – we create something that is specifically tailored to each couple’s style and budget and this is made easy for us in Sorrento because of the wide variety of choice, the different locations and easy accessibility are the prerequisites to creating a wedding of your dreams.
Once we have the date and check availability we will advise you on how best to orchestrate the day so that it will feel Sorrento is yours for your wedding day. it is not always easy but here’s an indication of what we can do:
Wedding in Sorrento – Ceremony Choices
There are two locations for civil weddings in Sorrento; everyone tends to focus on the Chiostro di San Francesco – this is mainly because it is in the centre of Sorrento and many of the wedding venues can be reached on foot keeping logistics easy.
The location does make this a much sought after option but more importantly this is a very unique venue in that although it is licensed for civil weddings it has a wonderful spiritual ambience. It is located next to a church, so for those couples who would like to incorporate a religious element it does this in its physical set up.
There is also no restriction to using religious readings or music (as there is in the UK) so the Cloisters meets this requirement perfectly.
In the last two years the booking system has improved in that bookings for the following year are now being taken from May of the current year but you need to be quick as the time slots go very quickly and those that remain are either early morning, or mid -day when it is the hottest. These times should not be ignored as this can be worked to your advantage and we would be happy to discuss options with those of you who are thinking about Sorrento and the Cloisters for your wedding.
The second location is the beautiful and very elegant Villa Fondi in Piano di Sorrento which is a very short distance from Piazza Tasso in Sorrento.
Villa Fondi sits tucked away with an open view of the Bay of Naples, and its small park which provides much needed shade and is fabulous for photography.
The layout allows for variations for the civil ceremony set up which is not really available at the Cloisters. For those brides where an aisle is a must have – Villa Fondi certainly provides the grand entrance and an opportunity for your musicians to play your choice of Processional music to the maximum.
Or if you are travelling with a smaller group then you might like the idea of a very private and romantic symbolic ceremony.
Just outside of Sorrento in Massa Lubrense you can rent villas where it is possible to host your wedding celebrations, we can hire a chef to cook a specially designed menu, we can organise a blessing in the grounds of your private villa.
Another option is to hire a small yacht and have a very romantic symbolic blessing away from the mainland with Sorrento and the Bay of Naples as your backdrop, we could decorate your yacht with lanterns, sailing to one of the sea front restaurants.
Wedding in Sorrento – Location & Imagination
The choice of two civil wedding locations means that we can keep costs down on transport if you are on a smaller budget; there is a wealth of reception venues available nearby to the Cloisters and Villa Fondi, considering your guests comfort particularly on a hot day will win you brownie points.
Although that is not to say that you may wish to give your guests a small tour of Sorrento and the surrounding areas, civil ceremony in one location, aperitivi in another and reception in another its one way of showing off the location to guests that have specifically come for your wedding in Sorrento and will be leaving the next day.
There are some large hotels that have some hidden secrets, roof top terraces with a panoramic view that can be hired for your wedding celebrations. Those that want a more typical sorrentine experience then head up into the mountains for some of the best views and where you can experience not one but two views of the Bay of Naples and the Bay of Amalfi.
Wedding in Sorrento – Styling & Theming
This is becoming a big part of wedding planning, some couples are using professional companies to create mood boards of their ideas and in order to deliver the concept you need the all important list of contacts. Sorrento close proximity to Positano and Ravello and the major city of Naples means we can bring in all manner of entertainers, musicians, make up artistes and stylists.
Getting There and Out and About’
Sorrento is only a short journey from Naples airport, no long distance travel once you are out of the airport – Curreri Viaggi run an efficient transfer bus from the airport – a single ticket is 12 euro and you will be dropped in the heart of Sorrento. Chauffeur driven airport transfers can meet guests that arrive late at night again this works out to be very attractive if you arrive in groups of 3+ passengers. Or for the more adventurous you can make your way down to the port and catch the ferry to Sorrento.
Circumvesuviana train station is a 5 minute walk from Piazza Tasso – trains run regularly from Naples and train tickets in Italy are in expensive and they tend to run to time.
Visiting the area – if there is a group of you it is economical to hire a chauffeur driven minibus and we can create an itinerary for you taking in other locations of Positano, Ravello, Atrani and Maiori.
Wedding in Sorrento – Ad Hoc Requests
Believe it or not we have been asked for a snow making machine for a private villa party in Sorrento!
Wedding in Sorrento – Pre Wedding Parties
For the bridal party the connecting ferries can take you to Ischia, Procida and Capri – haute couture shopping, or spa treatments all available.
The groom and his bestmen can take an organised tour up to Vesuvius stopping at a local vineyard on the way back (could be a bit dodgy doing this before ). Or the boys can hire a boat with onboard captain and have a day of sailing the coastline and swimming.
Sorrento – has the capacity to accommodate new restaurants and bars giving opportunity for a new feel and look to Sorrento. Places such as Camera e Cucina and the new Cocktail bar at Palazzo Marziale are keeping Sorrento a top wedding destination location.
This is what prevents a well known and sophisticated and established wedding industry becoming stale – it is all down to choice, vision and good management.

“Coming from a military family, I have seen my dad, cousins and brother deployed multiple times only to return with PTSD. It has been a long road seeing them deal with stress, depression and anxiety. Watching my loved ones deal with PTSD firsthand helped me to realize how important it is to create a positive and stress-free environment and provide support through the healing process.”

The Bendricks is a stretch of coastline in south Wales located along the northern coast of the Bristol Channel less than 7 miles (11 kilometers) SSW of Cardiff, the capital of Wales. It lies at the foreshore of the industrial port of Barry between the eastern breakwater of the Barry docks entrance on its western edge to Hayes Point on its eastern edge. Latitude 51°23′47.14″N, 03°14′42.40″W.
A promontory of Carboniferous Limestone rock known as Bendrick Rock juts out from the mainland which is completely submerged at the highest spring tide although durning a normal tidal period the top of the rock is still visible at high tide. The geology of the Bendricks consists primarily of Keuper Marls and conglomerate formed primarily by deposition of silt at the shoreline of a shallow muddy sea during the Early Triassic and Late Triassic periods.
The Bendricks is famous for the discovery of dinosaur footprints some of which have been removed to the National Museum and Galleries of Wales in Cardiff. See ‘Where dinosaurs walked’ a schools service paper by the National Museum of Wales and A.J.Thomas ‘Triassic rocks of the Bendricks’. NMW MSS paper No. 1750. BBC Wales featured these footprints and the geology of the Bendricks in its TV series about The Natural History of Wales.
The man made estuary of the Cadoxton River now enters the Bristol Channel at this point having been redirected during the construction of Barry Docks by the Barry railway Company which began in 1884. Inland of the Bendricks are H.M.C.Cambria and the former Sully Hospital
The Bendricks can be accessed via a path which follows the outside of the security fence round HMS Cambria at Hayes Point, Sully or by following the coastal path in an easterly direction from the public slipway at the Vale of Glamorgan recycling centre at Hayes Road, Sully.[mappress mapid=”51″] | <urn:uuid:e3309652-6bb7-4203-8311-cf0126e16ae9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://welshicons.org/cymrupedia/beaches-bays/bendricks/ | 2023-09-23T18:49:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.94422 | 424 |
Happy New Year! The 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge is a good challenge and a great way to start off the year, so I am participating again this January. Follow my blog, my Facebook page, and/or my Art Studio Facebook page to see each day’s painting! Fellow artist Leslie Saeta is hosting the challenge on her website and has a map with all the participating artists’ locations so it should be fun to be painting along with many other artists around the globe!
This year I plan on painting six series, with each series of 5 paintings having the same subject matter. Today’s painting is my first cow painting, so being Scottish, of course I chose a Highland cow! Actually, to my delight, there are quite a number of Highland cows and bulls in Southern Ontario, and I have had the chance to take a number of reference photos in the past few years. Since the painting is wet, there is a little glare and the snow looks a little “bluer” than the actually painting, but I will post a better picture tomorrow.
[stripe name=”Wendy Malowany Art Store” description=”Winter Highland Cow painting” amount=”15000″ shipping=”true” billing=”true”]
Note: The painting wraps around the canvas and has hardware included, so is ready to hang. If you prefer the painting framed, I am happy to do so for an additional charge depending on frame. For the Challenge, packaging and shipping is FREE within Canada & U.S. if you purchase a “30 Day Painting” during January, 2017. All other countries, please contact for shipping price.
All paintings need approximately one week drying time, with oil paintings needing a bit longer before they can be safely shipped. Make sure you provide accurate contact information so we can let you know when your painting is ready to ship. If your shipping location is different than the billing address you enter, Contact Wendy to let us know. | <urn:uuid:4a00b7da-db12-49fc-a244-c3ddad858552> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://wendy-malowany.com/2017/01/02/30-paintings-30-days-challenge-jan-2017-day-1/ | 2023-09-23T16:37:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.941642 | 422 |
You know the Grand Canyon is one of the natural wonders of the world and one of America’s most iconic sites.
But what can you actually do there? Actually, A LOT.
Keep on reading for ideas for your next trip to the Grand Canyon. Please note, that this article is for things to do at the SOUTH RIM of the Grand Canyon. If you’re thinking about visiting the North Rim (good choice!), see our North Rim article.
1. Look Into the Canyon from Mather Point
There are many viewpoints to see the Grand Canyon, but this is the most popular. You can’t go wrong with any of them, but Mather is located near the main Visitor Center, and it has a decorative walkway leading to the viewpoint.
It’s quite an experience — especially if you’ve never seen the canyon before!!!
2. Stop in at the Visitor Center
Mather Point is located right by the visitor center, so stop in while you’re there. Here you can ask a ranger questions, find out when and where the ranger programs are, look at exhibits, get your passport book stamped, and buy merchandise.
You can also drop in the Park Store while you’re there to buy some merchandise.
3. Walk the Rim Trail
The Rim Trail is a paved path that goes for many miles along the edge of the Canyon, connecting viewpoints.
You don’t have to walk the full trail; you can walk along any section and turn around or catch a shuttle bus.
Read our article Hiking in the Grand Canyon: What You Need to Know for more detailed information about hiking in the Grand Canyon.
Not sure which area of the Grand Canyon to Visit?
Download our Free Quick and Easy Guide to the Grand Canyon’s 4 Areas!
4. Visit the Grand Canyon Village
The Grand Canyon Village is like taking a trip back in time.
Most of the buildings were built in the early 1900s. There are many cool buildings in the Village, such as the El Tovar and Bright Angel Lodges, as well as the Hopi House and Verkamps gift shops, and lookout buildings such as Kolb Studio and Lookout Studio (both were former photography studios).
The Grand Canyon train brings passengers from Williams, AZ daily, and the mule barn is also near the old-timey village.
5. Ride a Mule
Speaking of mules, riding one at the Grand Canyon is one of the best things to do!!
At the South Rim, they offer rides along the rim or all the way to the bottom. Book early! To learn more, see our article Grand Canyon Mule Rides: What You Need to Know.
6. Visit Hermits Rest
This building was designed by Mary Jane Colter and her inspiration was a loner named Luis Boucher.
Boucher was a prospector in the area and was well-known for being alone. So he got the nickname “hermit.”
The building was designed to look like it was thrown together without much planning. It sits at the end of Hermit’s Rest Drive. It provides great views of the canyon, and it has a gift shop and cafe inside.
7. Look at the Colorado River from Desert Watchtower
This is another building designed by Mary Jane Colter and was modeled on Native American design.
It’s located at the end of Desert View Drive, near the East Entrance.
Inside it has a Kiva Room and an observation deck.
The lookouts provide some of the best views of the Colorado River from the rim of the canyon. While there, you can learn about the Tragic Airplane Crash that happened in 1956 nearby.
8. Ride Bicycles
If riding a mule isn’t your thing, rent a bike from Bright Angel Bicycles and ride around the forested area at the top of the canyon.
Or better yet, ride them on Hermit’s Rest road for views of the canyon.
We didn’t have the time to do this last time, but we saw many people riding around the Village on bikes and it looked awesome! We will definitely do this next time.
9. Eat at El Tovar or Fred Harvey Burger
El Tovar is a lodge hotel built by the Santa Fe railroad in 1904. It’s also a fine dining establishment, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Make reservations ahead of time!
This was a highlight for us last time we visited.
For less formal dining, try Fred Harvey Burger. Fred Harvey was famous for creating the first-ever chain restaurant.
His goal was to serve fresh, consistent food to travelers. The Fred Harvey company once owned nearly all the concessions at the Canyon.
It was bought out and eventually became Xanterra, which still operates the Fred Harvey Restaurant today.
You’re never very far from good food at the Grand Canyon. See our article The best places to eat at the Grand Canyon: Your Food Guide for the South Rim for more information.
10. Hike into the Canyon
There are two main trails that lead into the canyon: the Bright Angel and the South Kaibab trails.
Both of these go all the way down to the bottom of the canyon. However, DON’T plan on going down and back in one day. The park recommends only hiking 1 to 1.5 miles down, then turning around.
We highly recommend hiking into the canyon if you’re able, but we also highly recommend preparing before you go.
If you do hike into the canyon, you need to be prepared. See our article Hiking into the Grand Canyon: What You Need to Know (Hikes, Tips, Gear)
11. Watch a Sunrise or Sunset
The Grand Canyon is famous for its sunrises and sunsets.
Keep in mind that Arizona doesn’t do daylight saving time. This means that during the summer, the sunsets are just after dinner time, which makes them very doable.
Popular spots for sunset are Yavapai Point, Mather Point, Yaki Point, and Hopi Point.
Sunrises, however, are EARLY. But the benefit is you’ll have few crowds.
See our Grand Canyon Travel Guide for the best sunset and sunrise spots! Our travel guides will give you a daily (yet flexible) step-by-step itinerary. We will get you to all the best spots at the right time in order for you to make the most of your vacation. They even come with an audio guide to tell you interesting stories and the history of the park.
12. Learn About the Canyon at the Yavapai Geology Museum
This is another quaint old building on the Grand Canyon rim. It was built in the 1930s and was the first building solely dedicated to teaching about the canyon.
You can learn about the geology of the canyon while looking at the canyon through the windows!
13. See Real Native American Ruins at the Tusayan Ruins and Museum
Located on Desert View Drive, this site contains the remains of a small Ancestral Puebloan village. See artifacts thousands of years old or listen to a ranger program.
14. Ride a Train
The Grand Canyon Railroad begins in Williams, AZ, and ends in the Grand Canyon village. The ride takes about an hour, and they provide entertainment and food.
This could be a really great adventure to add to your Grand Canyon experience. But keep in mind due to the departure and return times you can’t see a sunrise or sunset.

15. Junior Ranger Program!
This one is for the kids (old and young :)! Every national park has a Junior Ranger booklet the kids can complete. Each booklet is geared to their age and has fun activities like spotting wildlife and learning about science and history.
The best part: it’s FREE!
I made the video below with my kids to explain the Grand Canyon Junior Ranger program. It’s something you can show your kids to get excited about the trip!
16. Book a Tour
There are all kinds of tours you can book for the Grand Canyon: helicopter, jeep, ATV, and river rafting.
These tours either provide a different view of the canyon than the usual rim view, or they provide you with a knowledgeable guide to tell you about the canyon.
However, guided tours are typically fairly expensive, especially if you have a family. But what if you could have a guided tour for a fraction of the cost?
That’s what we offer: we give you a daily step-by-step itinerary, so you know where to go and when, AND we provide a 3-hour audio guide to tell you all about the park. And it works for a trip up to 3 days long!
Even better, the whole thing costs less than it would cost you for one person for a group tour for one day.
We also have travel guides to Zion National Park & Bryce Canyon as well as other locations. Check them out now!

Tear trough fillers for bags under eyes are designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes, and, for many patients, serve as a non-surgical alternative to blepharoplasty. The procedure can also improve dark circles, which are caused by under eye hollowness and subsequent shadows.
Using a dermal filler, a board-certified dermatologist administers a series of injections to the tear trough area to restore volume and conceal minor fat pad bulges. As a result, eyes look refreshed, youthful, brighter, and vibrant.
So, are tear trough fillers right for you?
Here’s what patients can expect should they decide to undergo this injectable treatment.
What Are Your Options of Tear Trough Fillers for Bags Under Eyes?
In addition to seeking a leading injector like Dr. Tina West to perform your treatment, it’s also essential to select the appropriate filler product.
For the delicate area under the eyes, a hyaluronic acid filler, such as Restylane or Restylane Silk, is an excellent choice. Not only will a HA filler deliver smooth, natural-looking results, its effects can also be reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
Additionally, the thin composition of these products helps limit the chance of a Tyndall effect, which presents as a bluish tint under the eyes.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
Once your provider has determined that you are a good candidate for tear trough fillers, he or she will remove any eye makeup and cleanse skin under the eyes.
Next, a topical anesthetic may be applied to numb the treatment area and improve patient comfort.
Finally, your injector will skillfully deliver the hyaluronic acid gel to the tear trough, with a needle or a cannula. He or she will continue to slowly inject product and evaluate results until the desired outcome is achieved.
When Can You See Results from Tear Trough Fillers for Bags Under Eyes?
After undergoing tear trough fillers for bags under eyes, patients may experience mild swelling for several days. Once it subsides, final results can be seen, and you will note a smoother, more refreshed, and youthful appearance to the eyes.
Treatment benefits typically last nine-to-12 months and can be maintained with follow-up injections.
If you are considering tear trough fillers for bags under eyes, please call our office today to schedule a comprehensive consultation with Dr. West. | <urn:uuid:6ad8b3af-13df-4b92-bf08-4fcdc9f8dca2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://westskinlaser.com/tear-trough-fillers-for-bags-under-eyes/ | 2023-09-23T17:44:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.902148 | 519 |

The first-ever “Global Patient Safety Action Plan 2021–2030” was adopted at the 74th World Health
The purpose of the plan is to provide a strategic direction for concrete actions to be taken by countries, partner organizations, health care facilities and the WHO to eliminate avoidable harm in health care. Member states will be asked to report back on progress towards implementation of the plan once every two years starting in 2023 and lasting until 2031.
‘Patient safety is a framework of organized activities that creates cultures, processes, procedures, behaviours, technologies and environments in health care that consistently and sustainably lower risks, reduce the occurrence of avoidable harm, make errors less likely and reduce the impact of harm when it does occur. The practice of patient safety involves coordinated action to prevent harm to patients, caused by the processes of health care themselves.
The need for a Global Patient Safety Action Plan is clear.
Research studies have shown that on average 1 in 10 patients receiving hospital care in high-income countries is subject to an adverse event. This figure rises to 1 in 4 for low- and middle-income countries, with 134 million adverse events occurring annually due to unsafe care in hospitals, contributing to around 2.6 million deaths .
Indeed, 60% of deaths in low-and middle-income countries from conditions amenable to health care are due to unsafe and poor-quality care. Globally, the cost associated with medication errors has been estimated at US$ 42 billion annually 4 almost 1% of global expenditure on health.
The framework for the operationalisation of the Action Plan has 7 strategic objectives each of which are highly relevant for the work of the providers of anaesthesia care and services.
- Make zero avoidable harm to patients a state of mind and a rule of engagement in the planning and delivery of health care everywhere.
- Build high-reliability health systems and health organizations that protect patients daily from
- Assure the safety of every clinical process.
- Engage and empower patients and families to help and support the journey to safer health care.
- Inspire, educate, skill and protect health workers to contribute to the design and delivery of safe care systems.
- Ensure a constant flow of information and knowledge to drive the mitigation of risk, a reduction in levels of avoidable harm, and improvements in the safety of care.
- Develop and sustain multisectoral and multinational synergy, partnership and solidarity to improve patient safety and quality of care | <urn:uuid:0a654f52-36f3-41ca-a1e7-997f06aed50c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://wfsahq.org/news/latest-news/whas-global-patient-safety-plan-2021-30/ | 2023-09-23T18:11:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.938502 | 512 |

In addition to The Doctor, Hartnell plays a different character in this one, who also goes on holiday. And then we get a new, annoying companion.
The Doctor and Steven materialise in 16th century Paris, where catholics are hunting down protestants (and scientifically inclined ones, in particular, it seems) like there’s no tomorrow. They immediately split up, as Doc wants to meet with an apothecary named Preslin, and Steve wants to go sightseeing.
Instead, however, Doc goes on holiday and Steve makes friends with Nicholas and Gaston of the Huguenot resistance when he learns from a girl, Anne Chaplet, that the catholics are plotting another protestant massacre, and he decides to help his new friends thwart it. There is also, however, going to be a political assassination, and he’ll need to stop that as well. But he doesn’t know when that’s meant to happen, nor who the target is.
And just to make things extra weird, the massacre and the assassination are planned by, among other people, the Abbot of Amboise, who looks exactly like The Doctor and is in fact played by William Hartnell. Is it The Doctor in disguise? Steven certainly thinks so. Wonder if he’s right, if we’ll ever find out, or if indeed it even matters…

Alpha v0.03 - (7th December 2018)
NEW SKILLS: FISHING & FIREMAKING
This update introduces two new skills, Fishing & Firemaking!
- Cast your rod into the vast lakes and oceans to discover different species of fish to acquire! A very peaceful skill to be expanded upon in the future.
- Burn the logs acquired from Woodcutting to acquire experience. Watch your potential GP earnings light up in flames right before your eyes. A worthy sacrifice if I say so myself.
- Increase your XP potential by upgrading your bonfire. Nothing better than lighting fires on top of more fires!
NEW BANK UI
I have redesigned the bank to better suit the design of the game. Selecting the bank now brings up all items you have, and also provides the potential to upgrade as well.
Bank upgrades are now also additive. Maximum bank capacity currently set at 7,000. Your current bank upgrades will update accordingly with this update.
NEW SHOP UI
The shop for each skill looks a bit different. This is to correlate with the new bank UI to keep it similar. Please let me know what you think.
- GP values have been updated and now display in a similar form to Runescape. Hover over your GP to view the exact amount.
- Base Woodcutting interval has been increased from 2000 to 3000.
- Removed the ability to disable Auto Save.

Around the corner from where we live, someone is offering to sell a 1949 Chrysler Club Coupe for $5,500 — only a few thousand dollars more than the car cost when it was new. Not being in the market for a car, I haven’t stopped to study its condition, but I’m still tempted. The body is in good shape, and painted a nice dark blue. One of the windows is down several inches. This could mean the owner is trying to keep the interior from getting too hot, or that the window is stuck. The vehicle looks roomy enough, about twice the size of many of the currently popular overpriced four-door models. It isn’t stylish at all, but it’s better looking than most old Chryslers, which I suppose isn’t saying much.
The strange part is, I can picture myself driving the thing. This doesn’t happen very often anymore. Cars nowadays bore me. I still like Corvettes, but I doubt I’d buy one even if I could afford it, because once I was inside I’d probably become paralyzed and wouldn’t be able to get out. Very bad for the image. But an old Chrysler with a roomy seat, jumbo steering wheel, and two-pane windshield wouldn’t pose that problem. When I arrive at a fancy restaurant to discuss my latest big deal with my crooked, high-powered agent, I can step out and immediately impress people with my grandeur. Or I can drive to Wal-Mart and have plenty of room in the trunk and back seat to stash a load of Chinese-made goods that are systematically impoverishing American workers.
Of course, it would come down to the horn. If it sounds like a freight train, as many old horns do, then I’d almost have to buy the car. The horn on our van, while sufficient to surprise car-wash personnel, is an embarrassment. So. What to do. The thing is, I don’t trust myself. Already, I want to sell the van and buy the Club Coupe. And once I do that, then the obvious thing to do is to drive the car on a leisurely tour of the country. Granted, I’d prefer doing that in a black 1957 Cadillac, but a 1949 Chrysler would do.
Chrysler. Wasn’t there a Fritz Chrysler, and wasn’t he a famous violinist?
No, no, you idiot — Fritz Kreisler was the famous violinist. He was born in Austria in 1875, and died in New York or some such place in 1962.
What about Fritz Chrysler, then? Who was he?
I don’t know. Does it matter?
No. Not really. What I’m more concerned about is that I seem to be talking to myself again.
Well, I wouldn’t worry about it, unless you actually answer. If you answer, then it means you need professional help.
And if I don’t answer?
Then you need a Chrysler.
I see. You know, I’m glad we’re having this little discussion. May I ask what you’re driving these days?
Certainly. I drive a Kreisler.
(At this point, the tape runs out. What a shame.)

From Extractive to Regenerative
The Walkers Institute for Regenerative Research and Design (WIRRED) was born out of the restoration of Walkers Sand Quarry. For more than 50 years, the McNeel family provided an abundance of silica sand to the nation of Barbados while managing to steward and protect one of the largest native beach-side forests on the island. Since 1968 the quarry’s extracted silica sand has been used in nearly every building project across Barbados. But as the construction industry exhausts the sand supply, a new story is emerging — one of biodiversity, ecological health, and regeneration.
Ian McNeel, the Director and Founder of WIRRED, began to research and cultivate skill sets around building habitats and increasing the biodiversity of broad acre degraded landscapes. He envisioned the Walkers site as holding space with a holistic and interconnected purpose. Ultimately, he landed on regenerative agroforestry, utilizing permaculture design principles, as the framework to guide the transformation of the quarry into a thriving nature reserve and eco agro-tourism destination.
In 2011 a team of local and international experts was assembled to explore the potential for using regenerative design principles to restore the quarry’s landscape ecology. Their preliminary findings indicated that these techniques opened up the potential for businesses and communities to co-create meaningful livelihoods, steward nature-based economies, and actively build a model for climate adaptation and resilience for Barbados and the world.
Today, WIRRED brings solutions to complex problems by creating disruptive design systems that increase biodiversity, enhance ecosystem services, and improve the well-being of individuals and communities. Disruptive design positively intervenes and disrupts the status quo of any problem to create effective, equitable, and sustainable outcomes. By exploring the edges of our systems, we open ourselves to seeing the non-obvious opportunities that can generate profound, innovative ways to leverage change. Through ongoing research, education, design, and community partnerships WIRRED creates regenerative spaces in which individuals can connect/reconnect to the environment, while building more resilient economies, ecosystems and communities.

Summations set for Tuesday in trial for deadly Wilton DWI
Jurors in the murder trial of Justin Rodriguez heard their last witnesses Monday afternoon. They’ll hear from the attorneys on Tuesday for the last time.
The assistant district attorney, and Michael Martin, Rodriguez’s attorney, will make their final case to the nine women, three men panel on Monday morning.
Rodriguez is accused of murder in the September crash that killed tow truck driver Alex Bleickhardt, who was helping a truck that had broken down on the Northway.
If the jury finds him guilty of murder, Rodriguez could be sentenced to up to 25 years to life in prison.
Prosecutors called roughly 30 witnesses. The defense didn’t call any. | <urn:uuid:3b519d3c-4408-4168-86d1-72b16033f57e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://wnyt.com/top-stories/summations-set-for-tuesday-in-trial-for-deadly-wilton-dwi/ | 2023-09-23T18:48:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.96046 | 156 |
Firefighters promoted in Troy ceremony
Four firefighters at the Troy Fire Department are moving up the ranks.
They were promoted in a ceremony at the Franklin Terrace Ballroom on Friday morning.
Two lieutenants who have each been with the Troy Fire Department more than 10 years were promoted to captains, and two other firefighters are now serving as lieutenants.
The city’s also adding seventeen new firefighters to the ranks, according to Madden.
He thanked state leadership in attendance, for their help the past eight years in getting federal funding he says has helped to pay for holding onto staff, training and for the fire department to buy new equipment. | <urn:uuid:4259156a-cf8b-4308-8e53-03d291ec43dd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://wnyt.com/top-stories/wnyt-greater-good/firefighters-promoted-in-troy-ceremony/ | 2023-09-23T17:34:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.984086 | 133 |

Eat yummy meaty food and burn some calories, sounds like a perfect idea for people to meet their fitness goals.
The new special grill is an idea that could change most people’s dreams to reality, eat as much as you desire without gaining weight. The new grill fires up after burning up some calories before you consume them.
The Japanese Youtuber Bomb-tamio is famous for his creative designed inventions. Most of his ideas are like something which was always there but nobody found out, which never failed to amuse his viewers.
His latest creation comes with the added benefit that it makes you burn some of those fatty calories before you go on to consume more. It simply doesn’t leave for any other option and has to be fired up by running in place with one foot over a yellow pad. The fast movement in return keeps the grill fired up, and the chef would have to keep up with the repetitive action until the meat is cooked fine.
Though it sounds like a hassle, and that is what exercise sounds like sometimes too. It is an idea of forced motivation to work out, with a probability that if you are lazy enough you could always have something nice delivered to eat.
The forced workout the special grill machine requires might not actually make you lose weight, but it sure will help you sustain where you are on the weighing machine while eating on thick meaty steaks, full of juice and calories.
The device would make you look a little selfish if you are someone living in apartments because you would be eating food and sustaining your weight at the cost of your neighbor’s peace. The special grill machine makes a lot of noise, and your neighbors are in for some trouble if you plan to host steak parties at your home.

In the world of photography, the debate between studio v’s natural lighting for headshots is a long-standing one. Both lighting techniques have their merits and can produce stunning results when used correctly. But which one is right for you? In this article, we’ll delve deep into the differences between studio and natural light headshots, helping you make an informed decision.
Understanding the Basics
Before diving into the comparison, it’s essential to understand the basics of both lighting techniques:
- Studio Light: This refers to artificial lighting used inside a studio. It can be controlled, manipulated, and adjusted to achieve the desired effect. Common sources include flash units, continuous lights, and LED panels.
- Natural Light: As the name suggests, this is the light that comes from natural sources, primarily the sun. It’s unpredictable and changes throughout the day, but when harnessed correctly, it can produce soft, flattering results.
Advantages of Studio Light Headshots
- Complete Control: One of the most significant advantages of studio lighting is the control it offers. You can adjust the intensity, direction, and quality of light to suit your subject and desired outcome.
- Consistency: Studio lighting provides consistent results. Whether you’re shooting in the morning or evening, your lighting setup remains the same, ensuring uniformity in your shots.
- Versatility: With various light modifiers like softboxes, umbrellas, and grids at your disposal, you can experiment with different lighting patterns and moods.
Advantages of Natural Light Headshots
- Soft and Flattering: Natural light, especially during the golden hour, offers a soft glow that can be incredibly flattering for headshots. It can smooth out skin imperfections and give a natural radiance to the subject.
- Cost-Effective: Unlike studio setups that might require investment in equipment, natural light is free. All you need is a good location and the right timing.
- Authenticity: Natural light can give a more genuine and candid feel to headshots, making them appear more relatable and less ‘staged.’
Challenges in Both Techniques
While both lighting techniques have their advantages, they also come with challenges:
- Studio Light: Setting up studio lights requires knowledge and experience. It can be time-consuming, and without proper understanding, the results can look harsh or over-processed.
- Natural Light: The unpredictability of natural light means you’re at the mercy of the weather. Overcast days can offer diffused light, but too much cloud cover can make the lighting flat. Similarly, direct sunlight can lead to harsh shadows.
Choosing the Best Option
The decision between studio and natural light headshots often boils down to the desired outcome and the photographer’s expertise. Here are some factors to consider:
- Purpose of the Headshot: If you’re looking for a corporate or formal headshot, studio lighting might be the better choice due to its polished finish. On the other hand, for more casual or lifestyle headshots, natural light can add a touch of authenticity.
- Budget: If you’re on a tight budget, natural light can be a cost-effective option. However, if you’re willing to invest in equipment and want more control over the outcome, consider a studio setup.
- Location: Your location can also influence your decision. If you’re in an urban setting with limited open spaces, studio lighting might be more feasible. Conversely, if you have access to beautiful outdoor locations, natural light can be a fantastic choice.
Style & Technique: A Crucial Consideration
When comparing studio and natural light, it’s essential to consider the Style & Technique of the photographer. A skilled photographer can make the most of any lighting situation, ensuring that the subject looks their best. It’s crucial to view a photographer’s portfolio, understand their style, and discuss your expectations before making a decision.
Both studio and natural light headshots have their place in the world of photography. The key is to understand the strengths and limitations of each technique and choose the one that aligns with your vision. Whether you opt for the controlled environment of a studio or the unpredictability of natural light, with the right approach, you can achieve stunning headshots that capture the essence of the subject. | <urn:uuid:0677d72e-f50d-4d4d-a6ab-8770ac4e650d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://worldofhdr.com/style/natural-light-headshots/studio-vs-natural-light-headshots-a-comprehensive-guide/ | 2023-09-23T19:14:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.907646 | 903 |

I’m on my way to Chicago for a writer’s conference. I’m looking forward to spending time with other people who write and learning about what’s new in the publishing world! I’ll let you know what I learn.
Today I’m delighted to welcome Kelsey Rae Dimberg to the blog to talk about her new novel, Girl in the Rearview Mirror. Dimberg will appear at Boswell Book Company on Thursday night at 7:00 PM. If you live in Milwaukee and love a good thriller—you won’t want to miss it!
Writers@Work: An Interview with Kelsey Rae Dimberg
By Rochelle Melander
Tell us about your new book, Girl in the Rearview Mirror.
Girl in the Rearview Mirror is part modern noir, part literary thriller, with a dash of political intrigue. At its center is the wealthy, powerful Martin family of Phoenix, Arizona. The patriarch is a longstanding US Senator; his son, Philip, is a real estate developer and former football hero whose wife, Marina, is the director of the Native American Arts museum. The story is narrated by the family’s nanny, Finn Hunt, a midwestern girl who is utterly enamored with the Martins and their glamorous lifestyle. When four-year-old Amabel tells Finn a woman is following her, Finn brushes it off: the Martins are wrapped up in the Senator’s contentious reelection campaign, and she thinks Amabel is vying for attention. When it turns out someone really is following her, Finn finds herself in over her head as the truth about who the Martins are—and the lengths to which they’ll go to remain in power—is slowly revealed.
I began the book after I moved away from Arizona, and I missed it. I wanted to portray the state as I remembered it: frigid air conditioning and glittering swimming pools, looping freeways and sprawling suburbs, glass-walled mansions and run-down ranches. Arizona felt like an ideal noir setting, the glaring sun a menacing inverse of shadowy streets.
What books or events inspired you to write this book?
Once I decided I wanted to write a noir (more on that below), I knew I wanted to write about a powerful family that appears perfect from the outside, yet is hiding dark secrets. I suppose this interest in the class theme came partly from current events, partly from my living in San Francisco and being moments away from both extreme wealth and poverty, and from the classic noir I was reading—Raymond Chandler, Ross MacDonald, and Sebastian Japrisot were three major influences.
The question became who might have access to a super wealthy family, yet also be an outsider. I didn’t want a private investigator for a narrator; I just wanted an ordinary woman. So my narrator became the family’s nanny. She has intimate access to their lives, their home, and yet she’s an outsider, and is definitely of a lower social class.
The other seed I started with was the idea of the little girl going to her nanny with a mystery, in the way that femme fatales go to private eyes at the start of many classic noirs. I had the idea that four-year-old Amabel Martin tells Finn that a woman is following her, and my early drafts were writing to understand who the woman was and what she wanted, and the family’s secrets and the overall plot developed from there.
What drew you to the mystery/thriller genre?
I came to the genre almost by accident. When I started writing seriously, in college and grad school, I wrote very traditional “literary” stories, with subdued emotions and sudden epiphanies. My dream was to write a novel, and I managed to write a full first draft of a coming-of-age story, featuring a moody male protagonist who mostly loafed around and had deep thoughts. It was a struggle to make any action happen, and I frankly dreaded working on it.
Around the same time, I was watching lots of classic film noir—Chinatown, Double Indemnity, Sunset Boulevard, Laura. Maybe I was escaping from the tamped-down stories of school and relishing the amplified emotion and drama of the genre. I loved the moodiness, the flashes of nastiness. I decided I’d write a noir novel, just for fun. That was about nine years ago, and I never looked back. For whatever reason, I found my voice in the crime/thriller/noir genre, and I had much more fun with every element of writing, from plot to character to setting. It all just clicked.
Many of our readers are trying to write books. What are your secrets for getting writing done?
After I received my MFA, I took a full-time job in Chicago, and I really struggled to write. I’d bring out my manuscript on Sunday afternoons and putter around, but I struggled to make real progress. I had this idea that a writing session was only worthwhile if I hit a high word count, and writing became tainted with a feeling of failure.
Finally, I made a rule: I had to write every day, but any amount of writing counted, whether I managed one sentence or 1,000 words. As long as I opened up the Word doc and did something, it counted. This one rule completely changed my writing life. I started writing every day, and once I was in the habit, it became easier to up my word count. Just as important, though, writing every day kept the story at the top of my mind, which made it easier to work through problems and stay in the voice, and I had more of those random epiphanies you get when you’re washing dishes or out walking the dog. I also learned not to be so precious about only writing when I’m inspired, or when I have a large block of free time, and now I use any time I have to write, whether it’s a full morning or a half-hour lunch break, and I write even if I’m not in the mood; inspiration is a luxury, not a necessity.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on a second novel. It’s a standalone, also a literary thriller, set in San Francisco.
What are you reading now?
I just finished Jo Walton’s Small Change trilogy, an alternative history set in an England that signed a peace treaty with Hitler instead of fighting the war, and is sliding toward fascism. The first novel is a classic murder mystery set in a country manor house, the second is a theater-centered thriller, and the third is a political thriller. The plots are interesting homages to classic genres, but what really kept me reading was the eeriness of the ease with which fascism, bigotry, and authoritarian law took hold over the country, largely because of public fear and indifference.
Other recent favorites include novels by the classic crime writer Margaret Millar, who was married to Ross MacDonald, especially A Stranger in My Grave. I also recently re-read Kate Atkinson’s Jackson Brodie series, as she’s got a new one coming out this June. I’m such a fan of all of her writing; her voice is so rich and there’s such a sense of play in her work even as it deals in tragedy and violence. Finally, I thoroughly enjoyed Lou Berney’s November Road, as well as The Long and Faraway Gone. Really excellent crime fiction.

FOUNDER/ GROUP HISTORY
On December 17, 1996, a customer at the Seminole Finance Company in Clearwater, Florida noticed an image bearing striking
resemblance to the Virgin Mary on the window paneling comprising the south wall of the building. The image occupied about a dozen glass panels on the building and was approximately 50 feet in height and 35 feet in width (Trull 1997). The customer who first noticed the image contacted local media, and within hours a crowd had gathered outside the building to witness the “Christmas miracle.” Devotees, skeptics, and otherwise interested tourists began to flood the city. The Clearwater city council was forced to take immediate action to accommodate an influx of visitors, estimated at 80,000 per day during December, to which the city was not accustomed. Within two months of the original sighting, Clearwater police estimated that “almost a half-million people” had visited the location and established a “Miracle Management Team” to handle the crowds of pilgrims (Tisch 2004:2). By the spring of 1997, the city had already “spent over $40,000… for crowd control” and later installed a traffic signal at the intersection of U.S. 19 and Drew Street, where the building is located (Posner 1997:3).
After the initial outpouring of public interest, the number of pilgrims gradually waned. Declining public interest in the image was reversed when, in May of 1997, the image was defaced by an unidentified vandal who sprayed corrosive chemicals onto the window, temporarily obscuring the image. However, the following month “two days of heavy thunderstorms washed away the blemishes; some pilgrims referred to this event as the image “healing itself” (Trull 1997; Tisch 2004:3). Despite the suddenly rekindled interest, in the years following the initial sighting and consequential fervor, the numbers of visitors to the site had decreased to about two hundred per day. Nonetheless, the Clearwater apparition underwent “a series of developments…that led to its institutionalization as a devotional center” and thus relative longevity compared to many other apparition sites (Swatos 2002:182). Among these factors were the relative permanence and resilience of the image until its final destruction in 2004, the emergence of a visionary who provided messages associated with the image, and a connection to the Shepherds of Christ Ministries.
At the time of the sighting, the building as well as the Seminole Finance Company was owned by Michael Krizmanich, a devout Catholic who subsequently sold the business to Ugly Duckling Car Sales Inc. The extremely large number of pilgrims to the site had a negative impact on the Ugly Duckling’s sales, and the company ultimately decided to lease the building to the Shepherds of Christ Ministries. The Shepherds renamed the building the “ Mary Image Building” and converted the interior into a shrine. Some members of the Ohio-based Shepherds of Christ Ministries relocated to Florida. Among them was Rita Ring who received a message authenticating the image in Clearwater on December 19, 1996, just two days after the initial image sighting.
In a later message received by Ring on July 15, 1998, the Virgin requested that a large crucifix be built and placed next to her image on the window panels. Funded by the Shepherds of Christ Ministries, the eighteen-foot crucifix sculpted by Felix Avalos, was unveiled on December 17, 1998, two years after the first sighting.
On March 1, 2004, the image was irreparably damaged when an assailant shattered the three topmost window panes. It has been
theorized that the vandal used a slingshot to propel several small metal balls through the panels containing the image’s head. Despite the damage to the image, the Shepherds of Christ Ministries retained the Mary Image Building, and Rita Ring continued to receive messages from the Virgin and Jesus However, the permanent destruction of the apparition has greatly diminished visitation to the Clearwater site.
Rita Ring has been the central visionary at Our Lady of Clearwater. Although Ring had reported receiving messages from Jesus and Mary since 1991, the messages following the appearance of the image on the Seminole Finance Company were closely linked to the Clearwater image. Ring’s first message following the discovery of the image on December 19, 1996 authenticated the image and connected the image to its location: “…I appear to you, my children, on a [former] bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god… ” (“News” n.d.)
Ring reported that Mary requested a widespread dissemination of the present messages, of those which would follow, and of the “Mary Message,” a tape recorded message received seven days prior at the annual feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. A similar message was received on January 23, 1997, in which Ring reported Mary’s request for the distribution of not only “Mary’s Message,” but also several other books published by the Shepherds of Christ Ministries, including God’s Blue Book and Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Further, many of the messages conveyed God’s wrath with human sinfulness and the failure to listen to previous messages, threatening humanity with fire, even citing religious negligence and divine wrath as the source of contemporary wildfires across Florida. There have also been prophecies of an imminent Endtime. All of Ring’s messages have been discerned by Father Carter.
The religious activity associated with Clearwater is clearly largely rooted in Catholicism and parallels the belief of many similar apparition groups for a need to return to the teachings of Christ. The Shepherds of Christ Ministries also has sought a degree of ecumenism. When the Shepherds decided to acquire the bank building in 1998, the group stated its intention to “make [the] site available to people of all faiths for quiet prayer and refection,” and questioned religious divisions, asking “Do we not all pray to the same Heavenly Father?” (Swatos 2002).
Shortly after the initial sighting of the Clearwater image, a provisional shrine was constructed at the apparition site containing benches, a donations box, candles, rosaries, photographs, flowers, candles, and prayer requests. Visitors to the site commonly leave offerings to the Virgin, such as “candles, flowers, fruit, [and] beads, and participate in individual acts of piety (Posner 1997:2). Mary’s requests for pilgrims, as reported by Ring, include prayer, a daily recitation of the Ten Commandments at the site, recitation of the rosary, and an observance of the First Saturday devotion. In order to fulfill the Virgin’s requests to distribute her messages and lead others into prayer, audiotapes of “Mary’s Message” are played and rosaries, pamphlets, and brochures are provided by site staff (Swatos 2002:192). The focus on individual worship, rather than “the communal sense of the Mass,” is one of the primary factors setting the Clearwater group’s organization apart from traditional Catholic configuration (Swatos 2002).
Pilgrims to the site also contribute to the perception of a sacred presence and the potential for miraculous events. For example, among some pilgrims from the Latino community there was a sense that Mary might assist a young refugee from Cuba who sought asylum in the U.S.: “Tessy Lopez, 62, of Miami Beach beamed with joy as she regarded the apparition. Like many others gathered at the site, Lopez said she considered it to be a sign of an impending miracle for Elian, the 6-year-old Cuban rafter who
survived a voyage that killed his mother and 10 others….I think that boy is blessed. Many people gave their lives for that boy, and he lives blocks from here,” Lopez said. “We must realize this is an important sign” (Garcia 2000). Barbara Harrison (1999) visited the site on Christmas, 1996 and reported a message from Mary in which she was told “I have selected you as a vehicle through which my message will be spread….You must tell of this day and of our previous meetings in a book….You must tell of the miracles of birth and adoption.”
Little is known about the life of one of the two central figures in Clearwater apparition. Rita Ring is simply described as a married woman with four children, a mathematics professor at the University of Cincinnati, and a devout Catholic and active member of the Shepherds of Christ Ministry. She reportedly began receiving “private revelations” from Jesus and Mary in 1991, several years prior to reporting messages associated with the image at Our Lady of Clearwater. More is known about Father Edward Carter. He was brought up I Cincinnati, attended Xavier University, was ordained in the Jesuit Order when he was 33 years-old, and taught theology at Xavier University for nearly three decades. Carter reports having begun receiving messages from Jesus during the summer, 1993, and on the day before Easter in 1994 was told that he would now begin to receive messages for others (Carter 2010). He founded the Shepherds of Christ Ministry in 1994 after the Batavia Vissionary was instructed to include him with the other priests who were to receive messages through her and to carry out the special mission of establishing the Shepherds of Christ. Carter also received a message from Jesus in which he was told to undertake this mission and to include Rita Ring: ” I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries…. I will use this new prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces to those who join this movement…. I am inviting My beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity” (“About” 2006).
On December 19, 1996, two days after the image on the Seminole Finance Company Building was reported, Mary authenticated the Clearwater apparition to Rita and instructed Rita to begin the work in Florida. Ring began serving as the locutionist, and Cartervalidated (“discerned) her messages. For a time she received messages daily that were made available in the Message Room along with video tapes. Ring visited what became the ” Mary Image Building” on the fifth of each month. Beginning in 2000, the year of Jubilee, the image has appeared to turn completely gold on that day.
The Shepherds of Christ Ministries describes itself as “a multi-faceted, international movement, made up of a number of ministries all dedicated to “bringing the Catholic Church’s faithful to deeper love and respect for the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.” Open to priests, religious and the laity, the ministry currently has over 150 prayer chapters in its worldwide network devoted especially to the spiritual welfare of priests” (Shepherds of Christ Ministries n.d.). The organization devotes itself to promoting the welfare of priests and encouraging those interested in a spiritual life to recite the rosary and participate in the Eucharist. A major objective is to encourage priests to “become more holy, hence traditional, and abandon modernist tendencies” (Swatos 2002:182). The Shepherds of Christ Movement lists its ministries as including the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, which pledges members to praying in front of the Blessed Sacrament for two hours each week; a “24 hour Adoration” located in China, Indiana, support for a nursing home; a “Consecration of Homes” for individuals and families; and a program to supply hand-made rosaries free-of-charge to Catholic schools (“Ministries n.d.)
The Shepherds of Christ Ministries began leasing the bank building in 1998 and eventually purchased the 22,000-square-foot
center for more than two million dollars. The group began to refer to the building as “Our Lady of Clearwater.” On July 15, 1998 the daily message from Mary stated that “i wish a crucifix to be placed at the site near the main window beside my image. My eyes are always on my son Jesus crucified and my heart knows his resurrection from my dead“ (Desrochers 2007). The 18-foot crucifix was sculpted by Felix Avalos, was unveiled on December 18, 1998. The Shepherds subsequently opened a rosary factory in the building in 2000 and constructed a chapel for worship.
By 2002, however, public interest in the site had dramatically declined; the crucifix was covered due to weather-precipitated deterioration; the parking lot where pilgrims gathered was largely empty; the rosary factory was unable to support itself and closed; the group was not successful in supporting the site by selling tiles inscribed with the donor’s name. The partial destruction of the apparitional image in 2004 furthered weakened an already struggling apparitional site.
One notable controversy surrounding the image at Clearwater is the source of the image itself. While Ring reported that the Virgin Mary authenticated her appearance two days after the initial sighting on December 17, 1996, a photograph taken in the building in 1994 reveals that the image had been present for some time and was only noticed when palm trees partially covering the window, were removed. Further, according to Posner, “any religious pilgrim, reporter, or casual visitor need only to walk around the building to note that the ‘Mary apparition’ is hardly the only such colorful image present. Indeed, iridescent staining of a similar nature is apparent around its circumference wherever exposed reflective glass was used, and is particularly vivid where vegetation and sprinkler heads are in close proximity to the glass. Along the low hedges, the stains appear to hover just above their tops; where the palms grow high, the stains follow” (1997:1). A local chemist examined the windows and suggested the stain was produced by water deposits combined with weathering, yielding a chemical reaction like that often seen on old bottles, perhaps due to the action of the water sprinkler. However, adherents to the divine nature of the image argue that what is miraculous about the image is not its origin, but the fact that “this combination of elements formed itself into this image, rather than, for example, an amorphous series of waves” (Swatos 2002).
The image has also drawn mixed reviews from visitors. For example, “I see the reflections, but I don’t see it,” said Carmen Rodriguez, 50, with a tinge of disappointment. “I think some people can see it and others not. Perhaps it’s based on necessity.” And, Eulalia Asencio, 29, expressed skepticism. She said she had carefully touched the window pane to see if air conditioning might have caused the image to appear. “It looks like when you get Windex and then you have that rainbow action going on,” Asencio said. “I really think it is the reflection of the light” (Garcia 2000). On the other hand, for most pilgrims the image provided a dramatic experience of divine presence, as evidenced by the enormous crowds, the gifts and prayer requests left at the shrine, and the testimonies of miracles. Barbara Harrison (1999:20), who was not Catholic, reported that when she arrived at the site “Awestruck crowds were staring up at the rainbow image of the Blessed Mother Mary. I was unprepared for the rush of emotions I experienced…. I was astonished, and the sanctity of the moment took my breath away.
There has been a modest level of tension between the Roman Catholic Church and Our Lady of Clearwater leaders. The Shepherdsof Christ Ministries presents itself as a lay Catholic organization but has no formal relationship to the church. Site representatives have taken care not to challenge Roman Catholic Church authority. For example, the group indicated that it would seek permission from the local diocese before constructing a chapel at the site. Father Carter has repeatedly stated that “I recognize and accept that the final authority regarding private revelations rests with the Holy See of Rome, to whose judgment I willingly submit” (“News” n.d.). The Catholic diocese of St. Petersburg has disavowed any connection to Shepherds of Christ and has called the image a “naturally explained phenomenon.” However, the diocese has not launched an investigation of the site and has not condemned it (“Clearwater Madonna Changes Hands” 1998; Tisch 2004:4). There have other criticisms from within the Catholic community that conclude the apparitions are not authentic (Conte 2006).
It is estimated that there have been 1,500,000 visitors to the Our Lady of Clearwater apparition site since 1996. Despite the sharp decline in both pilgrims and tourists to the Mary Image Building following the 2004 destruction of the image, the Shepherds of Christ Ministries has continued to hold recitations of Mary’s daily messages at the building. Transcripts of the messages have been posted on the Shepherds of Christ website as well as printed in the books published by the organization.”

Mixed Feelings & Mixed CDs
by Brandi Fullwood on April 21, 2015
Posted in: Eclectic, Electronic, Funk, Music, Pop, Pop Punk, Punk, Rock
After taking a nap for 3 1/2 hours I get dressed again but alter one thing. A shirt or a sweater. Or change the outfit entirely, only a handful of people saw me anyway. Plus that’s beside the point. After confirming that dinner plans have been cancelled, I walk into proctor at exactly 6:23pm. I slightly scorch my bagel as I consider all the scenarios in which to ask him to meet me in the dining hall for coffee. It’s just coffee. I take mine with too much sugar. At dinner I make an attempt to accidentally make eye contact. It does not work. This is where I stop paying attention to the conversation with my friends and compile a list of songs for the mix cd that I am dying to make for him. It is only an idea, because mix CDs never work.
It has been over year since I’ve actually burned a physical CD. I’ve come to terms with my problem. However, the desire to mix has never fled. This is a reoccurring problem, evidenced by the numerous Spotify playlists that have taken the place of emotional expression via CD-ROM.
Over six hours are logged into my pretend productive lifestyle at the library, two of which are actually dedicated to doing work, four on Snapchat/weighing the costs of my impulsivity. The trek back home will be painful. Wind chill clawing at my pores, freezing all of the moisture in my face, paralyzing my hands and toes, creating layers of frost all over my body—all ignored by an idea to *burn. Thirty songs would never fit. Maybe I should split them into two, burn the disc and anonymously mail it. No that’s weird, plus mix CDs never work.
Over the past five years, I have made several mix CDs, many of them platonic, many disguised as such. The problem with creating mix CDs is you begin to share them with people you imagined at 1:16am giving a fuck about you. The minute they stare into your soul and cast you away like some helpless goat is the moment everything you’ve done is shielded with this platonic disguise. At one point you will convince yourself that the hours of effort were “no big deal” or “something to do with spare time” and that deep down all you really wanted was to “chill” with them. This is how toys, mix CDs and people get shelved. In reality by the time you quiver upward to form a smile, you’ll make a smirk. You will sink to a point of zero gravity and want to recall the CDs and future impulsive behavior. You’ll cling to lyrics that are precipitating down your face trying to shoe gaze your cries that hit the walls as loud as loose change. This is problematic, but not unresolvable.
A short list of tips:
1.) No need to rationalize putting together a well-crafted cd for 3 weeks to give to someone that didn’t have the decency to let you know that a girl will come in and scream at you. There’s no need for further miscommunication.
2.) Hiding behind rap music because you want to match their carefree attitude will leave you feeling 808 or Take Care—hyped and alone.
3.) Listening to grunge music does not belong to them. Musical associations with a person who probably doesn’t think of you late at night or the early morning should be immediately removed. But keep all of their merch.
4.) Climbing in and out of the attempts to be cynical or elusive or mysterious or some adjective that makes it seem that you don’t care that they don’t want anything to do with you will also be problematic at 1:16am.
After the varied encouragement to continue the business of mix CDs, I’ve decided to be more skeptical as to who receives them. Mix CDs have not worked not only because you can’t convince people with bad taste in music to like you, but also because intent should have been covered before the impulsive idea came to mind. There has yet to be anyone deserving and so I’ve quelled the urge by compiling some of my unburned favorites.
At 1:16am when I get the urge to make a bouquet of mix CDs for some boy that made me ruin my everything bagel, I forget to make them a Mix CD. (I think it’s best if I forget them as well)

Last month we shared Amanda’s pink pillow fight/burlesque bachelorette party, which is most def a fun way to celebrate with your ladies, and today we’re sharing another fun alternative. Mindy Kaisner’s idea: think shopping & appetizers in the comfort of your living room, with the twist of creating your own boutique for girls to bring accessories, purses, shoes, jewelry, belts, and scarves they’re no longer using to swap. Check it out and we promise you’re going to want to have one of these yourself.
This layered garland across the white mirror was created to reflect the current trend in layered accessories. By selecting four different strands and twisting them together, I created a new take on the ever popular party garland. Framed fashion sayings placed around the party also bump up the fashion theme a notch while adding originality to the decor.
As your guests arrive on party night, take the items and display them in creative ways throughout your living room. Display jewelry on vases and platters to show them off and clear off bookshelves and turn them into a shoe display. Have fun with it and think outside the box. Then, turn the girls loose!
We’ve been seeing a lot of these eco-friendly utensils floating around on Pinterest and love the idea of giving them a personal touch to fit your theme. A little paint or colored washi tape will do the trick. And why stop there? Love how Mindy hand painted the bamboo plates too!
For an added element to your party, consider having a make-up artist and hair stylist on hand. They can give you tips & ideas for freshening up your look. If you’re in the planning stages of your wedding, it’s a fun way to try out new styles for you and your bridesmaids.
How perfect are these key lime sorbet ice molds for a summer party!
So much fun! To see more of the accessories and pretty goods that were swapped, pop over to Mindy’s blog!

Tradition is huge in small towns and families and allows for unity through shared values, stories, and goals from one generation to the next. Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” carries that theme of tradition. The story follows a small town that performs the tradition of holding an annual lottery in which the winner gets stoned to death. It (tradition) is valued amongst human societies around the world, but the refusal of the villagers in “The Lottery” to let go of a terrifying long-lasting tradition suggests the negative consequences of blindly following these traditions such as violence and hypocrisy.
In Alice Walker’s story “Everyday Use,” symbolism, allegory, and myth stand out when thinking about the characters, setting, and conflict in the story. The conflict is between the mother and her two daughters (Maggie and Dee). There is also the conflict between the family’s heritage (symbolized by the quilt, bench, and butter chum) and their different ways of life. Dee chose a new African name, moved to the city, and adopted a new way of life while Maggie and her mother have stay behind. The quilt (the most important symbol) represents the family’s heritage in that it is made of scraps of clothing worn by generations of family members. The quilt has been sewn by family hands and used on family beds. It has seen history and is history. Maggie and her mother see that that history is alive but Dee thinks it is as dead as her name. Dee does not see that name as part of her heritage. By analyzing these symbols, a number of possibilities for a theme can be seen. Walker could be suggesting that to understand the African-American heritage, readers have to include the present as well as the past. However, the theme could be that poverty and a lack of sophistication and education cannot be equated with ignorance. Lastly, she could be telling her readers that dignity or self-respect rise from and are virtually connected to one’s entire heritage- not just a selected part of it.
“The Lottery”, by Shirley Jackson is a short story about a disturbing social practice in a village. Besides, there were about three hundred citizens in the small village where the setting took place. The introduction of “the lottery” is about an event that takes place every year on 27th in the month of June, where the community members of this tradition organize a lottery. Everyone in the village including small children to adults is expected to participate. Besides, when this story was introduced at the very first in 1948 by Shirley Jackson, many people were upset. This is because this story was so strange to undertake in modern enlightened times.
In the story 'Everyday Use', by Alice Walker, the value of ones culture and heritage are defined as a part of life that should not be looked upon as history but as a living existence of the past. Walker writes of the conflict between two Black cultures. Dee and Maggie are sisters whom do not share the same ideals. Mama is torn between two children with different perspectives of what life truly means. In the story, Walker describes the trial and tribulations of one daughter whose whole life is tormented by fear, failure and weakness; while the other "has held life always in the palm of one hand"(61) and moves to a better lifestyle. The possessions of the past will ultimately change the relationships of the future.
Acosta portrays the quilt as a memoir type deal and makes it into a precious piece of herself for her kids to have with them. Walker signifies the quilts as being special to her and her family heritage and refused to give them to someone who won't respect their meaning, even if it is her own daughter. Anything has what it takes to be of some significance and it doesn’t matter what that thing is. What means the most is how valued that significance is and how well the heritage is kept
The quilts play an important role in depicting symbolism of heritage because they signify Dee’s family origins. For instance, Dees’ significant family members all have pieces of their fabric sown on to the quilts as a remembrance of who they were and their importance in the family. Nevertheless, Dee is overlooking important facets of her family history because she does not see the quilts her ancestors made as valuable, hand-made, pieces of fabric that should be passed down and taken care of to keep their history alive. As Mama stated, “In both of them were scraps of dresses Grandma Dee had worn fifty years and more years ago. Bits and pieces of Grandpa Jarrell’s paisley shirts. And one teeny faded blue piece, about the size of a penny matchbox, that was from Great Grandpa Ezra’s uniform that he wore in the civil war.” (1129). Despite her family’s history, Dee continues to misinterpret the...
Quilts symbolize a family’s heritage. Maggie adheres the tradition by learning how to quilt from her grandmother and by sewing her own quilts. Maggie also puts her grandmother’s quilts into everyday use. Therefore, when Dee covets the family’s heirloom, wanting to take her grandmother’s hand-stitched quilts away for decoration, Mama gives the quilts to Maggie. Mama believes that Maggie will continually engage with and build upon the family’s history by using the quilts daily rather than distance herself from
The main objects of topic throughout the story are the quilts that symbolize the African American Woman’s history. Susan Farrell, a critic of many short stories, describes the everyday lives of African American Women by saying “weaving and sewing has often been mandatory labor, women have historically endowed their work with special meanings and significance” and have now embraced this as a part of their culture. The two quilts that Dee wanted “had been pieced together by Grandma Dee and then Big Dee and me [Mother] had hung them on the quilt frames on the front porch and quilted them” (par. 55) showing that these quilts were more valuable as memories than they were just blankets. The fabrics in the quilts “were scraps of dresses Grandma Dee had worn fifty and more years ago. Bits and pieces of Grandpa Jarrell’s paisley shirts. And one teeny faded blue piece, about the piece of a penny matchbox, that was from Great Grandpa Ezra’s uniform that he wore in the Civil War” (par. 55) putting forth more evidence that these are not just scraps, but have become pieces of family history. The q...
Like most peoples families there is a dynamic of people involved, although all from the same environment and teachings, it is ultimately an accumulation of personal experiences that shape us and defines how we perceive our existence. “Everyday Use” is a story of conflict of right and wrong and also family values. Walkers’ narrator, “Mama”, struggles with her disrespectful daughter ‘Dee”. Though “Mama” was quoted to have worked hard like a man to send her to school gratitude is never mentioned. “Clearly, Dee privileges language over silence, as she demonstrates in her determination to be educated and in the importance she places on her name” (Tuten). Since “Dee” had been out of the house and to school in the city she had lost touch with where she came from and had little respect for the family heritage. Maggie having been burned in a house fire had learned to love the shelter that only a family can provide. Being burned makes you like no one else, everywhere you go you feel eyes looking. Since she had not been out of the house and had the time to learn the value of family she regarded the quilts as a part of her heritage.
Many people show their appreciation for things in different ways. Dee appreciates the quilt for being her heritage. She can't express enough how she feels about it. She can't even imagine that the quilt was hand made with every stitch stroked in and out. As for Maggie, Dee believes she can't appreciate the quilt in the same way she can. "Maggie can't appreciate these quilts." Instead, she thinks that Maggie will use the quilt for about 5 or so years and it will turn into a rag. "She'd probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use." "Maggie would put them on the bed and in five years they'd be in rags. Less than that!" Dee doesn't feel Maggie deserves the quilt.
Traditions define cultures from all over the world; however, some are done without knowing its true meaning or its possible negative effects. “The Lottery” is about a small town that traditionally holds an annual lottery that selects one person at random to die. No one in the town truly knows why the ritual is done or how immoral it is, just that it has always been done. Using foreshadowing and characterization, Shirley Jackson shows how tradition can have negative effects on people in “The Lottery”.
The quilts were pieced together by Mama, Grandma Dee, and Big Dee symbolizing a long line of relatives. The quilts made from scraps of dresses worn by Grandma Dee, Grandpa Jarrell’s Paisley shirts, and Great Grandpa Ezra’s Civil War uniform represented the family heritage and values, and had been promised to Mama to Maggie when she married. However, Dee does not understand the love put into the making of the quilts, neither does she understand the significance of the quilts as part of her family heritage. It is evident she does not understand the significance of the quilt, having been offered one when went away to college declaring them “as old-fashioned” and “out of style”. She does not care about the value of the quilts to her family, rather she sees it as a work of art, valuable as an African heritage but not as a family heirloom. She wants the quilts because they are handmade, not stitched with around the borders. She tells Mama, “Maggie can’t appreciate these quilts!... She’d probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use… But, they’re priceless!.. Maggie would put them on her the bed and in five years they’d be in rags. Less than that!” (317). The quilt signifies the family pride and history, which is important to Mama. She makes the decision to give the quilt to Maggie who will appreciate it more than Dee, to whom she says, “God knows I been saving ‘em for long enough with
...rn fifty and more years ago. Bits and pieces of Grandpa Jarrell's Paisley shirts. And one teeny faded blue piece . . . that was from Great Grandpa Ezra's uniform that he wore in the Civil War" (Walker, 65). These quilts, which have become an heirloom, not only represent the family, but are an integral part of the family. A concept in which Dee, could just not possibly understand. Mama then grasps the quilts out of Dee’s clutch and places them on Maggie’s lap, for Maggie knows that the quilts are personal and emotional rather than by any means financial (p.66). These quilts are for “Everyday Use.”
Mama is hoping that Maggie will use the quilt as a practical everyday item. She sees the quilts for their functional use that they were made to use in everyday life. Meanwhile, Dee finds this absurd. She thinks they are too valuable and priceless to be using as everyday necessities. Instead she will hang them. These two ideas of how to use the quilts are in complete contrast of one another. Mama finds them practical, Dee finds them fashiona... | <urn:uuid:65527016-3cd9-4f79-b52e-a0e1edc2b042> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.123helpme.com/essay/Everyday-Use-by-Alice-Walker-and-The-242804 | 2023-09-23T18:12:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.977956 | 2,501 |
Since the police officers have a lot of say in dealing with calls and crimes, they all vary in their approaches to doing so. For instance, one officer may think a call is not as important as another, while a separate officer may decide the first call was more serious and he/she may respond to that one first. This is the same problem with whether or not to use force. There are many factors that affect not only the officer’s decision to use force, but also the criminal’s choice of actions. If an officer is being rude or discriminating against a suspect, then that suspect may act in a more vicious manner. This could result in the officer deciding to use force. All officers may see a threat differently, resulting in different disciplinary actions. The use of force rules vary in different police departments. This is concerning to some because the citizens may feel that they are not being treated as equal as others. Other issues include illegitimate investigations, spying, which could result in an unfair judgement of individuals that result in the officer’s use of force (Walker 1993, 24). Some officers will report an unfounding crime, which affects the true data of lowering the official crime rate (Walker 1993, 24). These issues are occurring in society today and are common topics in the news. Citizens want to know how we can better our systems to create a safer environment for
Police violence remains a dire human right violation, especially in the United States. Over the last decade, police have applied force and aggression in ways that leave people wondering if they are discharging their duties. Recently, law enforcement seems to have taken a different turn characterized by aggression and violence when dealing with the public. Cases of unjustified shootings, physical assault, fatal chokings and violent treatment have contributed to the ongoing problem of police brutality in the America. Worse still is the fact that a greater proportion of these cases go unreported and undetected. This has partially encouraged violent police officers to continue applying force when dealing with the public. This new law enforcement
Just how much force is appropriate under various circumstances can be debatable. When an officer uses excessive force, he or she violates the law. Most brutality is directed against minority groups or otherwise powerless populations. Officers who engage in brutality rationalize their use of extralegal force, they claim they are punishing those groups that threaten to disrupt the social order. The importance of understanding racism in the context of police brutality cannot be underestimated. Many police officials automatically regard racial minority group members as potentially dangerous regardless of their particular activities, gestures, or attire. This perception of racial minority citizens as “trouble” sometimes translates into racially discriminatory police behavior. Most police officers expect citizens to always surrender to police authority. When citizens challenge it instead, some officers view such behavior as the unofficial crime of disobeying a police officer and use physical force to gain compliance. So what can be done to help prevent police brutality around our
The police handle an essential part in society as its protectors. The law enforcement officers look out for the citizens and try to protect their safety and happiness whenever possible. Throughout the years, however; the society has questioned the use of force, racism and internal corruption as well as other forms of misconduct by officers of the law. Some people claim that many of these problems are misconstrued by the media and blown out of capacity; these officers are simply doing their job. Others argue that these circumstances can be drawn back to poor training and policies. Others maintain that the whole system needs to be changed and that with the rise in crime; officers have become enforcers more than protectors.
This research proposal seeks to establish the level of police discretion used on duty. It aims to understand when it is appropriate for police to use discretion as well as given reasons for abusing their decisions. It focuses on issues with police discretion maintaining the responsibility to be ethical such as racial profiling, socioeconomic status and excessive force. Although police discretion can have positive factors, it also difficult to determine whether it is fair for police to make a decision during situations.
According to the Dictionary of Policing, “Force is the exercise of physical coercion by the police in the performance of their duties” (Rappert). While many believe that the use of force by police is not needed and only causes more problems, there are also people who support officers and their use of force in order to protect. Police should be able to use force without opposition to detain people trying to harm others, save their own lives, and stop escalating situations.
Crime is a part of society encompases the news and the public. A variety of studies of media content have estimated that as much as 25 percent of the daily news is devoted to crime (Surette 1992) and that crime is the largest major category of stories in the print and electronic media (Chermak 1994, 103). (Lawrence 18). With crime at an all time high, police are constantly having to deal with more and more issues. This can lead to stressed out and fed up officers, which can lead to poor decisions by an officer. The use of force by police is a highly controversial topic as it raises questions about a government’s ability to use force against its citizens (Lawrence 19). Today’s society is caught up on the ideals of civility and equality before the law, making police use of force a touchy
A '''use of force continuum''' is a standard that affords law enforcement officials & security officers (police, probation, or corrections) with guidelines as to how much use of force may be used against a repelling subject in a given situation. In certain ways it is similar to the military’s escalation of force. The reason of these models is to clarify, both for officers and citizens, the complex subject of use of force by law officers. They are often vital parts of law enforcement agencies' use of force policies. Although various agencies have developed different models of the continuum, there is no universal standard model (Stetser, 2001, p. 36)
Was the intrusion based on a lawful objective, such as a valid arrest, detention, search, frisk, community warden guardian of mentally ill, defense of an officer or a citizen, or to prevent escape? If these answer yes then an officer may have legal ability to use the levels of force listed below to apprehend the suspect. Another list of things to consider when determining if it was a lawful use of force is; was the use of force relative to the person’s confrontation? Was there a crucial need to terminate the condition? Even though there is no duty to retreat, could the officer have used lesser force and still safely accomplish the lawful objective? These are the questions that the jury need to answer to determine if they should side with or against the officer in any court case brought to them that deals with such a controversial topic as this.
Over the years, this country has witnessed many cases of police brutality. It has become a controversial topic among communities that have seen police brutality take place in front of their homes. Officers are faced with many threatening situations everyday forcing them to make split second decisions and to expect the worst and hope for the best. Police officers are given the power to take any citizens rights away and even their lives. With that kind of power comes responsibility, that’s one major concern with the amount of discretion officers have is when to use force or when to use lethal force. The use of excessive force may or not be a large predicament but should be viewed by both the police and the community.
Police brutality is a very real problem that many Americans face today. The police carry an enormous burden each day. Police work is very stressful and involves many violent and dangerous situations. In many confrontations the police are put in a position in which they may have to use force to control the situation. There are different levels of force and the situation dictates the level use most of the time. The police have very strict rules about police use force and the manner in which they use it. In this paper I will try to explain the many different reason the police cross the line, and the many different people that this type of behavior effects. There are thousands of reports each year of assaults and ill treatment against officers who use excessive force and violate the human rights of their victims. In some cases the police have injured and even killed people through the use of excessive force and brutal treatment. The use of excessive force is a criminal act and I will try and explore the many different factors involved in these situations.
Normal force is distinct from legal and brutal force (Hunt, 1985). Legal force is taught in police academy. It pertains to being able to subdue, restrain, and control a suspect if the officer is threatened with great bodily harm. Legal force also encompasses the use of deadly force if justified. Normal force is learned when the officer hits the streets and is conditioned to buy more effective weapons, which produce more damage to the suspect. In the academy recruits are taught not to hit a person on the head or neck because of their vulnerability, but on the street officers must hit the suspect wherever they can to control them. Peer approval further justifies this treatment. Thus, when police use the necessary amount of force they are not held accountable for a needed increase, but in fact will be looked down upon by fellow officers if a rookie does not show the necessary aggression.
Discretion is defined as the authority to make a decision between two or more choices (Pollock, 2010). More specifically, it is defined as “the capacity to identify and to document criminal and noncriminal events” (Boivin & Cordeau, 2011). Every police officer has a great deal of discretion concerning when to use their authority, power, persuasion, or force. Depending on how an officer sees their duty to society will determine an officer’s discretion. Discretion leads to selective enforcement practices and may result in discrimination against certain groups of people or select individuals (Young, 2011). Most police officer discretion is exercised in situations with individuals (Sherman, 1984).
Use of force or less than lethal force includes physical or mechanical force and is authorized when the officer reasonably believes that it is necessary to protect the officer or another from unlawful force, overcome conflict against th...
This paper compares and contrasts popular opinions and professional assessment of police brutality and acceptable use of force. This is not only a sensitive subject, but one that proves hard to identify. The main takeaway is that each encounter is different. Within each situation, the details and contributing factors are also different. Police have to serve the public and are entrusted with an inherent amount of power. The line when that use of power becomes abuse of power is not always so easily defined. There are occasions where the evidence shows a clear abuse of power by the police. There are instances where the public opinion views a situation as excessive, however, the police are following acceptable practices and procedures. | <urn:uuid:42aef636-277b-43bf-9aae-59a3f691559a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.123helpme.com/essay/Force-In-Law-Enforcement-Essay-643124 | 2023-09-23T17:04:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.965872 | 2,228 |

Yoga for Boomers and Beyond
If yoga makes you think of pretzel poses, think again. Yoga that is adapted for boomers and beyond offers many tools for optimal health. It is a science that promotes physical fitness, physiological and emotional/mental health through yoga postures, breathing practices, deep relaxation, and other practices.
What are the tangible benefits of regular yoga practice?
Physical – Expect improved strength and stability, better flexibility, improvement in posture, better mind-body awareness, more functional movement patterns, reduced pain and stiffness, better balance and improved circulation from doing yoga several times per week.
Physiological – As we age, our physiology (organ and glands) benefits from the deep breathing practices so common in most yoga traditions. Deeper breathing helps almost all of our organs and glands and can improve digestion, heart rate, blood pressure, stress, sleep, immunity, nervous system tone and energy level. Deep breathing also has an important role in pain management and mental health.
Mental/Emotional — While Yoga does a body good in terms of physical and physiological fitness, it also improves what I like to call “attitude and gratitude.” A yoga practice suited to your individual needs can increase self-confidence, happiness, focus, memory, compassion, and capacity to deal with life’s inevitable changes. At its core, yoga philosophy teaches us not to identify with our body, that we are much more than the aging chassis that we walk around in.
Aging is not for wimps. You need good tools to support your body, mind and spirit. Even a small amount of yoga on a daily basis (10 – 15 minutes) can make a difference in how your body feels, your organ systems work and your mind functions. Give it a whirl. And if you have questions, we’re happy to talk to you about how to get started. | <urn:uuid:09521ae0-7ccc-4708-afbd-1706e5b0a0c8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.5koshasyoga.com/yoga-for-boomers-and-beyond/ | 2023-09-23T17:49:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.942661 | 387 |
“A life of worship brings forth songs of worship from the heart of the worshiper”
Worship is giving back to God the best of what He has given us. It could be our talents, our money, time, energy, or even the very life that we possess. The heart of the matter is the heart. God longs to see us offer our best to Him for He has already blessed us with so many things despite how undeserving we are. He delights to see a grateful response in the depths of our soul that gives Him honor and praise no matter what the circumstances may be. He longs for our total surrender, offering ourselves as a living sacrifice – holy and acceptable, dedicated to His service and pleasing to Him.
Our Best for His highest! | <urn:uuid:6881c019-2f0b-4f97-825d-fc2295e7e02b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.aao1.org/music/ | 2023-09-23T17:46:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.947671 | 165 |
A song inspired by racing, this piece is accessible to all your first year young band students. All races have the same path from start to finish and this piece is no exception. In the beginning you have the Go Team Go at the start of the race, followed by the cute race started by the woodwinds. The woodwinds are then joined by the brass at mm. 17, followed by a cool percussion feature that uses the same melody as presented before. Finish the song out with a grande finale with everyone racing to the finish line. This song was written in 4/4 time in Concert E flat major. Pay special attention to the little details such as staccatos and accents on quarter notes. Feel free to play with the dynamics as it is written merely as a suggestion.

On November 9, 2022, the AAUW California Board of Directors voted to terminate its account with Twitter effective immediately. This proposal was brought forth by the Public Policy Committee and approved following thoughtful and careful discussion.
The decision was based on a number of actions taken by Elon Musk both before and since his takeover of this social media platform. Primarily, we are concerned that the incidence of hate speech, disinformation, discriminatory and misogynistic rhetoric, and the spread of dangerous and divisive theories will continue to rise under his stewardship.
According to a study by Montclair State University, within 24 hours of Mr. Musk’s acquisition, homophobic, antisemitic, and racial hate terms increased from just over 1,000 tweets to 4,778 tweets in a 12-hour period. In addition, Mr. Musk’s other business ventures, Tesla automobile company, and SpaceX, a space exploration company, have been plagued by claims of sexual harassment.
As an organization that supports equity for women and girls, values the advancement of fair and equitable opportunities for everyone in our diverse society, and opposes hate, violence and harassment against members of any demographic group, AAUW California can no longer be associated with this platform.

Unemployment has remained steady at 5.7 per cent in May with the estimated addition of 17,900 jobs.
- The proportion of people in work or looking for it, remained steady at 64.8 per cent
- Australia needs to create about 20,000 jobs a month to keep unemployment rate stable
- Unemployment rose in Victoria to 5.8 per cent, WA 5.7 per cent, SA 6.9 per cent and Tasmania 6.5 per cent.
The result was slightly above expectations, with a Reuters poll of 15 economists expecting the economy to have added 15,000 jobs and the unemployment rate to remain steady at 5.7 per cent.
The participation rate, the proportion of people in work or looking for it, remained steady at 64.8 per cent
Most economists agree Australia generally needs to create about 20,000 jobs a month to keep the unemployment rate stable.
However, the entire growth in jobs was in part-time work, with full-time work remaining flat.
The unemployed are increasingly giving up looking for full-time jobs, with the number searching for full-time employment falling 6,200 while those looking for part-time work increased 7,200.
Result in-line with expectations: Economists
"Growth in hours worked has slowed since the end of last year - consistent with part-time being the key driver of employment so far in 2016," wrote economist at Deutsche Bank, Phil Odonaghoe.
Deutsche Bank said it does not see any implications for the Reserve Bank in the figures, and expects a rate cut at the August meeting after the release of second quarter inflation numbers.
This switch to part-time work has maintained the trend of recent months where an overall 43,000 increase in new jobs since April has seen the creation of 70,000 part-time positions while 27,000 full-time jobs have been lost.
That has also seen a 4 per cent decrease in hours worked over the same period.
Economist at JP Morgan Ben Jarman said the full-time and part-time jobs split had a soft complexion to it, but overall the picture was one of stability.
"After a quite speedy drop-off in jobs growth early in 2016, May provided some welcome stability, and was consistent with annual employment growth stabilising around 2 per cent over the year," he said.
The ABS figures also provided the quarterly estimate of the underutilisation rate - which includes those who are employed but looking for work - which edged up from 14.1 per cent to 14.2 per cent.
RBC strategist Michael Turner was unimpressed, saying the figures pointed to overall on-going weakness in the economy.
"The details of the report were unambiguously weak, and suggest that spare capacity has, if anything, grown a little over the past few months," Mr Turner argued.
"Added to recent data on wages and unit labour costs, the state of the labour market remains consistent with ongoing low inflationary pressures and further RBA easing."
Across the states unemployment fell in New South Wales and Queensland down to 5.2 per cent and 6.4 per cent respectively.
Unemployment rose in Victoria up to 5.8 per cent, Western Australia 5.7 per cent, South Australia 6.9 per cent and Tasmania 6.5 per cent.
Both the ACT and Northern Territory's trend unemployment edged down to 3.8 per cent and 4.1 per cent respectively. | <urn:uuid:610a19b9-02ed-41ed-99d6-3a472c14ac6f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-06-16/abs-unemployment-may-steady/7515646 | 2023-09-23T19:12:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.955567 | 714 |

Action for Healthy Kids Statement on COVID-19 and Its Impact on Schools and Families
Posted March 16, 2020
We at Action for Healthy Kids and Active Schools understand the challenges schools and parents are facing right now and the concerns they have about COVID-19/Coronavirus. We recognize the impact that school closings and uncertainty from day to day around COVID-19 pose to daily life. The safety of students, their families, and their school communities is our highest priority.
To support schools and families during this challenging time, we have modified many of our plans for the rest of the school year and offer the following recommendations for educators, parents and caregivers:
- If you are a current AFHK grantee, please do not be concerned about a delay in completing your funded project. We hope that any schools that are able to resume normal operations later this spring will then be able to complete their grant work by the end of the school year. Your state coordinator is here to support you in the interim, and will work with you at the appropriate time on what to submit for your final reports (information about these reports will become available mid-April).
- If you are interested in or in the process of applying for a school grant for the 2020-2021 school year, we have extended the deadline to May 1. Visit actionforhealthykids.org/grants for more information.
- While Every Kid Healthy Week remains an annual event on the calendar (April 20-24, 2020), we are not encouraging or expecting our grantees or other schools to host Every Kid Healthy Week events this year, regardless of whether or not your school is closed.
- We encourage schools to use our Game On library to incorporate healthy activities, brain breaks and nutrition education, and opportunities for social emotional learning into their online learning to help kids maintain healthy routines during what could be a prolonged period of time away from school.
- Action for Healthy Kids offers year-round ideas and resources for parents and caregivers to keep their kids and families healthy and active at home, whether for a snow day or during spring break. With the potential for children to be home from school for several weeks and the CDC’s recommendation on social distancing, we encourage parents to find dozens of tips, activity ideas, healthy recipes and more on our website, actionforhealthykids.org, and our blog. Visit our blog post that puts a variety of at-home ideas, activities and resources at your fingertips.
Stay up to date with us by ensuring you are receiving our emails, follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and visit our COVID-19 FAQ blog post. Schools should contact your state coordinator directly with any additional questions about your grants or anything else we can help with to make this time more manageable for everyone. | <urn:uuid:18f7a79d-5411-4ca4-b421-e73bd760d166> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.actionforhealthykids.org/action-for-healthy-kids-statement-on-covid-19-and-its-impact-on-schools-and-families/ | 2023-09-23T17:50:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.952573 | 571 |
According to MK News, the UK Government has decided there is more than one way to force hospital staff into receiving this year’s flu vaccine. Knowing that many hospitals are struggling financially, the government has decided to turn their hand to bribery by offering extra cash to financially dependent hospitals, on the proviso that they vaccinate all their staff with this year’s flu vaccine. MK News, reporting on the story, said:
Figures have revealed that less than half of all frontline NHS staff are vaccinated against flu, and at some hospitals, this can fall as low as one in five.
But in order to give hospitals an incentive for extra cash, the funds will only be released to them if they meet a robust target of vaccinating 75 percent of staff against flu.
And while the figures will not affect the hospitals’ £1.4m funding this year, if they do not meet the figures, it will affect the amount they are given next year.”
What this means is that any hospital failing to meet this year’s flu vaccination target will not only fail to receive this year’s extra funding, but they will also lose out next year as well.
An Unofficial, Unethical, and Illogical Mandate
This isn’t giving people a choice to get vaccinated or not. Sounds like they’re holding trusts to ransom, saying you’ve got to get 75 percent of your staff vaccinated so that the underfunded A&E departments can receive a little top up (after years of under-resourcing). Or, it’s a great ploy of not paying anything at all, as a good guess that there won’t be enough staff getting vaccinated.
Flu jabs are no guarantee of keeping people out of A&E over winter.
Also, does this mean people who don’t work in the NHS or where there isn’t an A&E won’t have to worry?
I [would] like to see/hear chief execs, directors, senior managers and politicians all get their jabs first, then work a couple weeks as frontline staff would between Christmas and New Year, lead by example and put their money where their mouth is.
Quite right, too. They should indeed put their money where their mouth is.
While these idiots are force-vaccinating NHS staff around the UK, using their cash as nice, fat, juicy carrots, I wonder if they are informing the staff about the possible side effects of the vaccine and telling them that far from protecting them against the flu, the vaccine could give them the flu, instead!
The nasal spray (also called LAIV or FluMist®): The viruses in the nasal-spray vaccine are weakened and do not cause severe symptoms often associated with influenza illness. (In clinical studies, transmission of vaccine viruses to close contacts has occurred only rarely.)
In children, side effects from LAIV (FluMist®) can include:
- runny nose
- muscle aches
In adults, side effects from LAIV (FluMist®) can include:
- runny nose
- sore throat
- cough
The above list of impressive side effects from the vaccine, given by the CDC, certainly sounds like the flu to me. So, what is the point of giving nurses, who spend their time looking after sick and vulnerable patients, a vaccine that will cause the very symptoms they wish to avoid?
They combine various flu virus strains based on an educated guess and then recommend the shot to everyone, including children and pregnant mothers. According to the CDC Vital Statistics Report 1999-2003, influenza death for children under the age of 5 skyrocketed as they began to implement the flu vaccine for the children. From 1999 to early 2002, death rates were declining from 25 down to 10 per year. Then, the latter half of 2002 the CDC mandated the flu vaccine for children and the death rate climbed from 25 deaths per year in 1999 to over 90 in 2002! Death is a pretty bad vaccine side effect!
Given her evidence, I personally believe that it is far safer to catch the flu, than it is to risk a virtually untested vaccination concocted from an educated guess at what this year’s flu strain is going to be.
Why should the government think that it is right to deny hospitals much-needed funds all year and then say that the money is only available if they vaccinate their staff with dangerous and unnecessary vaccines?
Let’s face it. If all staff members do decide to have the flu vaccine, “for the sake of their patients,” and 90 percent of them end up with the flu as a result, then what exactly is the government going to do? I can hardly see the UK Prime Minister, David Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, changing beds and carrying bedpans. Can you?

Finally, she was cleared of all accusations after the independent psychologist Lisa Blakemore-Brown gave both boys the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD as part of what she described to be a complex tapestry of disorders. During the assessments Ms Blakemore-Brown discovered through the foster care diaries that the eldest boy had reacted adversely to the MMR vaccine. After taking an A Level in Psychology and a BTEC in Learning Disabilities Ms. England spent many years researching vaccines and adverse reactions. She went on to gain a Higher National Diploma in journalism and media and currently writes for the American Chronicle, the Weekly Blitz, VacTruth and Namaste Publishing UK on immunization safety and efficacy whilst continuing to study for a BA Honors degree in English Literature and Humanities. England’s main areas of expertise are researching false allegations of child abuse and adverse reactions to vaccines. Her work is read internationally and has been translated into many languages. Ms England has been a guest on many radio shows and has spoken at seminars worldwide. She is the co author to the book ‘Shaken Baby Syndrome or Vaccine Induced Encephalitis – Are Parents Being Falsely Accused?’ with Dr Harold Buttram. | <urn:uuid:05ea6e0a-a83c-4716-9b56-f5e452f3984b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.activistpost.com/2013/09/uk-government-bribes-hospitals-to.html | 2023-09-23T18:15:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.9658 | 1,419 |

Tired of the moral degeneracy on prolific display in civic life in the United States? Then I invite you to take refuge in old contracts. Really old contracts.
The urge to flaunt in contracts, in all capitals, the archaisms witnesseth, whereas, now therefore, and in witness whereof goes back a long way. That’s why they’re called archaisms! But I wanted to see how far back.
Ideally, I’d have on hand the author of a ten-volume history of contracts, but I don’t. Instead, I have … Google!
I suggest that emphasizing words and phrases in this manner represents an attempt to make the wall-to-wall scrivening more accessible. To signal a transition or a significant concept, the scribe used emphasis.
What made sense in the seventeenth century certainly doesn’t make sense now, given that word processing allows us to make documents easier to read. If you’re still doing this sort of thing now, you’re either a slave to precedent or you’re delusional.
Note how typewriters made all capitals the default mode for emphasis, and that’s where witnesseth and the others are still stuck. All capitals only makes them more annoying.
I’d like to see how far back this practice goes. Anyone go earlier than 1658? And can anyone suggest an image suitable for publication?
Updated 12:45 p.m., 9 January 2017:
A UCL Faculty of Laws friend of the blog offers the above example, from the reign of Henry VII, who reigned from 1485 to 1509. Let us admire the emphatic W in the Witnesseth. By my reckoning, this indenture is from July 1504, the “nynetene year of his most noble reign.” | <urn:uuid:5fd810d1-1892-45dc-9785-40cf1e15178f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.adamsdrafting.com/the-roots-of-all-capitals-archaisms/ | 2023-09-23T18:20:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.915439 | 389 |

Vicky Carlisle is a Phd Student at the University of Bristol, funded by the NIHR School for Public Health Research. She has a background in social care and addiction treatment services and completed her BSc in Psychology, also at Bristol, in 2017. Her research interests include opioids, systematic reviews, qualitative research methods, systems-based approaches and intervention development. She is currently conducting mixed-methods research to understand the facilitators and barriers of recovery in opioid substitution treatment to inform intervention development.
Socioecological determinants of recovery in Opioid Substitution Treatment patients: A systematic review and thematic synthesis
Aims: To understand the facilitators and barriers to recovery within opioid substitution treatment (OST) for opioid dependence.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review of primary qualitative studies conducted between 1999 and 2019, that explored the concepts of recovery and abstinence from the perspective of adults receiving OST for opioid dependence and service providers working with them (e.g. clinicians and service managers). A thematic synthesis of included studies was conducted to produce themes categorised as facilitators of or barriers to recovery within OST.
Results: 41 papers were included in the final synthesis. Most studies (25) were conducted in the USA and the UK. Preliminary findings suggest a broad range of facilitators and barriers to recovery within OST. Facilitators include supportive relationships with staff, family and friends; the return of ‘positive’ emotions and reintegration into the community. Barriers ranged from incompatible staff/service user treatment goals, low self-efficacy, the experiencing of stigma and the return of challenging emotions.
Conclusions: Diverse facilitators and barriers were identified in this review; this suggests a need for service delivery and intervention design that addresses recovery on multiple levels. By synthesising a large number of qualitative studies, we have been able to better understand the lived experience of OST from multiple perspectives. Such findings help in understanding why the recovery journey may be protracted and complex for many in OST. | <urn:uuid:68791f98-c87e-40cd-b666-42832d5b1343> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.addiction-ssa.org/author-publications/socioecological-determinants-of-recovery-in-opioid-substitution-treatment-patients-a-systematic-review-and-thematic-synthesis/ | 2023-09-23T16:44:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.949947 | 415 |

When Ghana scored a 2-1 victory over Nigeria in January 2010, securing the West African nation passage through to Africa Cup of Nations final, it wasn’t just a victory for Ghanaian soccer.
As the camera panned to celebrating striker Asamoah Gyan, the world caught a glimpse of another Ghanaian phenomenon—Azonto.
A form of freestyle dance, Azonto has become a mainstay of the Ghanaian pop scene over the last ten years, danced by everyone from celebrating footballers, to toddlers, to stars like Sarkodie and Fuse ODG feat. Tiffany. Go to Ghana, and you will see people performing the dance in clubs, in bars, and on the streets.
While Azonto’s origins are muddled, there appears to be consensus that the dance is an extension of a 1960s-era dance called Kpanlogo.
Like Kpanlogo, Azanto contains thrusting movements, but also combines elements of Apaa, a neo-traditional dance created by the Ga communities of the Greater Accra region that sees domestic chores like washing, fishing and driving mimicked to comedic effect.
A YouTube video labeled “White Boy Azonto” (below) features a lanky Brit by the name of David Vujanic performing the dance in central London. The video has so far accumulated 700,000 views, and Vujanic has since been featured in a music video by British rapper D’Banj for his song “Oliver Twist,” which also features cameos from stars like Kanye West and Big Sean.
“The Azonto dance is flamboyant and innovative and different people reinvent it suit their style and energy. It’s not too similar to anything I’ve seen before,” says Sesan Ogunro, the director of the “Oliver Twist” video.
The filmmaker, of Nigerian-British descent, first heard of the dance through his friends in Nigeria and Ghana. “Azonto is very popular outside of Ghana. It has become a dance craze and has become very popular in the UK and parts of the US,” he says. “I felt it was time to bring it from the clubs and showcase it to a mainstream TV audience.”
How to Dance the Azonto
Learning the Azonto is fairly easy. An expressive freestyle dance, it has no set instructions. There are, however, some basic moves any beginner will need to get started:
Tempo: Azonto can accompany any beat, but most would agree that it looks best when danced up-tempo. Beginners should start with the 2-step and move upwards from there.
Feet: Place your right leg slightly in front of your left, and twist on the whole leg on the ball of the right foot.
Hands: Point your index fingers and cross your right wrist over the left in front of you. With each twist of the leg, move the right arm forwards and backwards.
Cracking: A key component of Azonto is ‘cracking’ (also known as ‘popping’), which usually involves a break from the 2-step. At a twist of the leg, raise your right arm up with fist clenched and pop your hip.
Other Freestyle Moves: If you’re feeling confident, mix it up with some freestyle. Start with 2-step boxing moves, lean your body to the left, or imitate chores like driving.

AFB staff have loved the hundreds of photos we have received in response to our January 20 blog post “Share Your Photos: Let’s Show What Education Looks Like in 2021”. A family of an elementary student shared many photos of their son with us from online learning, to making a “mug cake” with his O&M specialists as he learned ECC skills, to sledding with his buddy who is another youth with a visual impairment. The family received a $25 Amazon gift card.
We can’t wait to share our report Access and Engagement II: An Examination of How the COVID-19 Pandemic Continued to Impact Students with Visual Impairments, Their Families, and Professionals 9 Months Later which will include many of the photos shared with us. The report will be available in late April or early May. Keep those photos coming, even though our contest is over! We will use them in our third report that will document the impact of COVID-19 on education a year later.

We Greeks are not, of course, the only ones to eat leafy greens, especially this time to the year. Asians love greens, and some of the plants they cultivate are similar to the ones we eat here, on the other side of the world.
In my recent trip to Japan I fell in love with komatsuna, that looks like a cross between spinach and bok choy, but it is a different, wonderfully tender and succulent green! Suka-San, the hard-working organic producer in the region of Kamikawa, where I spent some days, was kind enough to give me seeds that I planted in my garden and I can’t wait to harvest and cook them.
I was asked to do a cooking demonstration, during and organic farming fair at Kamikawa, so used this wonderful green, together with negi, often called ‘Japanese leek.’ To me negi looked more like the large green onions we grow in the garden; but in fact it is another plant of the extended allium family; a large green onion with firm pointy leaves. I braised komatsuna and negi in olive oil following the traditional recipe from Crete. Instead of lemons, which are not available in Japand, I used yuzu, the very fragrant citrus of this country. Fennel, dill and such aromatic herbs are not available in Japan, so I finely chopped someyuzu zest, which gave the simple dish a new flavor. Instead of potatoes, I toasted pieces of bread, wrapped in olive oil, an idea I copied from Semsa Denizel’s Kantin Istanbul restaurant. Semsa is a passionate baker, and her miche loaves are comparable to the celebrated Parisian Poilane bread! In her seasonal menu at Kantin she always incorporates fresh or toasted bread slices in the vegetable and fish dishes; taking her lead, I decided to add olive-oil-rubbed toasted bread cubes to the soupy braised komatsuna and negi. That, of course was quite exotic in Japan, a country whose traditional cuisine does not include bread. Furthermore, I decided to thicken the greens’ sauce with avgolemono—egg and lemon sauce, or more precisely here ‘egg and yuzu’: Follow the basic description on the meatball recipe, using the broth from the braised greens instead of meat or chicken stock.
We served it in bowls, as it is the tradition, and the participants devoured it! Through the translator, some ladies talked to me about the wonderful properties of olive oil, that a well-known health-food TV personality talks about in his shows. ‘He eats one tablespoon every evening and it keeps him young,’ they told me. When I suggested that they too could cook their everyday food with olive oil, they looked at me with horror: ‘It is terribly expensive,’ they said… | <urn:uuid:93bc3784-d27a-40b0-9411-22a8b9e89a5c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.aglaiakremezi.com/japanese-horta/ | 2023-09-23T17:00:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.963575 | 618 |
Cranberries are king in Wood County, Wisconsin, and local growers want the public to know all about this thriving industry during 2018 Wisconsin Farm Technology Days July 10-12.
Wisconsin accounts for more than 60 percent of U.S. cranberry production. And the U.S. contributes a similar amount to world output. Wood County alone accounts for about 9 percent of the world’s cranberry production, said Matt Lippert, University of Wisconsin-Extension Wood County agricultural agent and Farm Technology Days executive secretary.
Lippert said there are about 5,400 acres of cranberries and approximately 100 growers in Wood County. And according to the 2012 Census of Agriculture, the farm-gate value of Wood County cranberries is about $40 million or 40 percent of the county’s total agricultural value.
Cranmoor township west of Wisconsin Rapids is the heart of the county’s cranberry industry. Lippert said cranberries have been harvested there for more than 150 years. But today the ruby-red crop grows in more than half of Wood County townships.
Once called “crane berry” by settlers because of its blossom resembles the Sandhill Crane, the little red berry is Wisconsin’s official state fruit — and the state’s No. 1 fruit crop in both size and economic value.
Lippert said cranberries – traditionally a bog crop — have moved upland. Growers now have the ability to lift water with pumps and return it to reservoirs.
At Farm Technology Days cranberry growers intend to lay to rest cranberry misnomers, Lippert said. Contrary to popular belief cranberries do not grow in water. Instead the perennial low-running vines are flooded with water to aid in harvest. When a bed is flooded, berries float to the surface where they’re corralled and harvested with equipment. The crop is also flooded in the winter and encased in ice for frost protection.
Mini marsh attention-getter
In the Marshfield Clinic Health Systems Innovation Square, a mini marsh will be constructed so show-goers can compare flooded and dry beds. Lippert said the mini marsh is modeled after Walworth County’s miniature mockup of Lake Geneva and Kewaunee County’s mini replica of Lake Michigan. The two counties hosted the show in 2016 and 2017, respectively. | <urn:uuid:c40ea1c1-67cf-45be-9d1d-0f6eb2890e9c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.agribusinessinfo.com/latest-news/cranberries-king-wood-county/ | 2023-09-23T17:47:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.917428 | 493 |

According to the posting, the CIO will lead a team of approximately 70, reports to Executive Director Terrill Sanchez and is accountable to the pension fund’s board of trustees. The job description calls for the CIO to act as a fiduciary with “an ethical and legal obligation to prudently and exclusively act on behalf of the interest of the system’s members.” The CIO is also expected to act as an investment policy consultant to the pension fund’s board, which has the final say over the investment program.
Some other duties of the CIO also include:
- Overseeing the day-to-day activities of the investment department and developing and monitoring the investment budget.
- Working with the board of trustees and investment consultants to develop asset allocation and implementation strategies.
- Reporting on the strategic direction of the investment program.
- Overseeing the internal investment program, which includes asset classes such as public and private equities, fixed income, real estate, commodities and infrastructure.
- Recommending investment personnel changes and salary levels.
The job post also says that the CIO should be “a strategic and forward-thinking investment executive dedicated to public service” and “must be a leader who takes ownership of the investment program.”
PSERS mentions in the job posting that it has been under both internal and external investigations related to an incident in 2020, when an error by consultant Aon resulted in its board of trustees certifying inaccurate contribution rates for its members. The board was told by its general investment consultant and another firm that the retirement system’s nine-year performance figure was 6.38%, which was just high enough to avoid triggering additional contributions under state law. However, after correcting the Aon error, the nine-year return was corrected to 6.34%, which triggered an increase in contributions.
The job post also says that an internal investigation did not find evidence of criminal wrongdoing and that PSERS “has been cooperating fully with the ongoing federal investigations,” adding that, “the Department of Justice closed the probe of the investment calculation error with no criminal or civil charges being filed against the system.”
The incident led to the retirement of Jim Grossman, formerly the fund’s CIO, and Glen Grell, formerly its executive director, in November 2021. Robert Devine is currently PSERS’ interim CIO. | <urn:uuid:fbd6a963-857b-4bb9-8e72-c5f62cca151d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ai-cio.com/news/psers-posts-ad-for-new-cio/ | 2023-09-23T18:09:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.970251 | 501 |

ARINC 429 Specification Overview
The ARINC 429 Specification defines the standard requirements for the transfer of digital data between avionics systems on commercial aircraft. ARINC 429 is also known as the Mark 33 DITS Specification. Signal levels, timing and protocol characteristics are defined for ease of design implementation and data communications on the Mark 33 Digital Information Transfer System (DITS) bus.
ARINC 429 is a privately copywritten specification developed to provide interchangeability and interoperability of line replaceable units (LRUs) in commercial aircraft.
Manufacturers of avionics equipment are under no requirement to comply to the ARINC 429 Specification, but designing avionics systems to meet the design guidelines provides cross-manufacturer interoperability between functional units.
Overview of ARINC
ARINC stands for Aeronautical Radio, Inc., a private corporation organized in 1929, and is comprised of airlines, aircraft manufacturers and avionics equipment manufacturers as corporate shareholders. ARINC was developed to produce specifications and standards for avionics equipment outside the government for domestic and overseas manufacturers.
ARINC copywrites and publishes standards produced by the Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee (AEEC). The AEEC is an international standards organization made up of major airline operators, avionics industry manufacturers and ARINC members.
The AEEC sets standards for avionics equipment and systems and provides industry defined requirements for standardization of form, fit and function between various manufacturers products.
ARINC publishes the AEEC produced standards under three types of documents:
1. ARINC Characteristics
Characteristics are definitions of the form, fit and function of avionics equipment. These documents are equipment specific and define how an unit will operate. The ARINC 500 Series of Characteristics define older analog avionics equipment where the ARINC 700 Series are more current documents and are typically digital versions of the analog specs.
400 Series documents are general design and support documentation for the 500 Series avionics equipment Characteristics.
600 Series documents are general design and support documentation for the 700 Series avionics equipment Characteristics.
2. ARINC Specifications
Specifications are used to define
- Physical packaging and mounting of avionics equipment
- Data communications standards
- High level computer languages
The ARINC429 Specification, Mark 33 Digital Information Transfer System falls under the Specification document category.
3. ARINC Reports
Reports provide general information and best practice guidelines for airlines.
Reports predominately refer to maintenance and support procedures.
History of ARINC 429
The ARINC 429 Specification developed out of the original commercial aviation digital communication spec, the ARINC 419 Specification. The ARINC 419, first released in 1966 and last revised in 1983, describes four different wiring topologies, including a serial, twisted shielded pair interface used by the Digital Air Data System (DADS), known as the ARINC575 or DADS 575 Spec.
This serial topology evolved into the ARINC429 Specification, first released as ARINC 429-1 in April 1978, and currently exists as ARINC 429-15.
ARINC 429-15 was adopted by the AEEC in 1995 and is comprised of three parts:
- ARINC Specification 429, Part 1-15: Functional Description, Electrical Interface, Label Assignments and Word Formats
- ARINC Specification 429, Part 2-15: Discrete Word Data Standards
- ARINC Specification 429, Part 3-15: File Data Transfer Techniques
Part 1 addresses the buses physical parameters, label and address assignments, and word formats.
Part 2 defines the formats of words with discrete word bit assignments.
Part 3 defines link layer file data transfer protocol for data block and file transfers.
The ARINC 429 Specification
The ARINC 429 Specification establishes how avionics equipment and systems communicate on commercial aircraft. The specification defines electrical characteristics, word structures and protocol necessary to establish bus communication. ARINC 429 utilizes the simplex, twisted shielded pair data bus standard Mark 33 Digital Information Transfer System bus.
ARINC 429 defines both the hardware and data formats required for bus transmission. Hardware consists of a single transmitter – or source – connected to from 1-20 receivers – or sinks – on one twisted wire pair. Data can be transmitted in one direction only – simplex communication – with bi-directional transmission requiring two channels or buses. The devices, line replaceable units or LRUs, are most commonly configured in a star or bus-drop topology. Each LRU may contain multiple transmitters and receivers communicating on different buses. This simple architecture, almost point-to-point wiring, provides a highly reliable transfer of data.
A transmitter may ‘talk only’ to a number of receivers on the bus, up to 20 on one wire pair, with each receiver continually monitoring for its applicable data, but does not acknowledge receipt of the data.
A transmitter may require acknowledgement from a receiver when large amounts of data have been transferred. This handshaking is performed using a particular word style, as opposed to a hard wired handshake. When this two way communication format is required, two twisted pairs constituting two channels are necessary to carry information back and forth, one for each direction.
Transmission from the source LRU is comprised of 32-bit words containing a 24-bit data portion containing the actual information, and an 8-bit label describing the data itself. LRUs have no address assigned through ARINC 429, but rather have Equipment ID numbers which allow grouping equipment into systems, which facilitates system management and file transfers.
Sequential words are separated by at least 4-bit times of null or zero voltage. By utilizing this null gap between words, a separate clock signal is unnecessary. Transmission rates may be at either a low speed – 12.5kHz – or a high speed – 100kHz.
ARINC 429 Cable Characteristics
The transmission bus media uses a 78W shielded twisted pair cable. The shield must be grounded at each end and at all junctions along the bus.
The transmitting source output impedance should be 75W ± 5W divided equally between Line A and Line B. This balanced output should closely match the impedance of the cable. The receiving sink must have an effective input impedance of 8kW minimum.
Maximum length is not specified, as it is dependent on the number of sink receivers, sink drain and source power. Most systems are designed for under 150 feet, but conditions permitting, can extend to 300 feet and beyond.
ARINC 429 Transmission Characteristics
ARINC 429 specifies two speeds for data transmission. Low speed operation is stated at 12.5kHz, with an actual allowable range of 12 to 14.5kHz. High speed operation is 100kHz ± 1% allowed. These two data rates can not be used on the same transmission bus.
Data is transmitted in a bipolar, Return-to-Zero format. This is a tri-state modulation consisting of HIGH, NULL and LOW states.
Transmission voltages are measured across the output terminals of the source. Voltages presented across the receiver input will be dependent on line length, stub configuration and the number of receivers connected. The following voltage levels indicate the three allowable states:
In bipolar, Return-to-Zero – or RZ – format, a HIGH (or 1) is achieved with the transmission signal going from NULL to +10V for the first half of the bit cycle, then returning to zero or NULL.
A LOW (or 0) is produced by the signal dropping from NULL to –10V for the first half bit cycle, then returning to zero.
With a Return-to-Zero modulation format, each bit cycle time ends with the signal level at 0V, eliminating the need for an external clock, creating a self-clocking signal.
ARINC 429 Waveform Parameters
Pulse rise and fall times are controlled by RC circuits built into ARINC 429 transmitters. This circuitry minimizes overshoot ringing common with short rise times. Allowable rise and fall times are shown below for both bit rates. Bit and ½ bit times are also defined.
ARINC 429 Word Formats
ARINC 429 protocol uses a point-to-point format, transmitting data from a single source on the bus to up to 20 receivers. The transmitter is always transmitting, either data words or the NULL state. Most ARINC messages contain only one data word consisting of either Binary (BNR), Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) or alphanumeric data encoded using ISO Alphabet No. 5. File data transfers that send more than one word are also allowed.
The only two fields definitively required are the Label and the Parity bit, leaving up to 23-bits available for higher resolution data representation. Many non-standard word formats have been adopted by various manufacturers of avionics equipment. Even with the variations included, all ARINC data is transmitted in 32-bit words. Any un-used bits are padded with zeros. | <urn:uuid:86ab66fa-4166-4363-9649-993c0543ee4c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.aim-online.com/products-overview/tutorials/arinc-429-tutorial/ | 2023-09-23T16:49:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.896553 | 1,825 |

If you know the difference between a camshaft and a connecting rod (or want to), then this club is for you. Full Throttle Club activities generally fall into 3 categories: Race Car Work, Community Service, and Fundraising.
The main payoff for this club is the chance to drive our 1999 Camaro Drag Car at Bandimere Speedway during the racing season. Together as a club we build, repair, and maintain this race car.
The club is greatly involved in Aims-hosted events as well as the community.

Election Time in Ontario and Employee Voting Rights
On June 2, 2022, Ontarians will head to the polls to elect the members of the 43rd Parliament of Ontario. With the election taking place on a weekday, employers and employees alike will be asking what obligations and rights they may have when it comes to voting.
Any “elector” — that is, any Canadian citizen who on the general polling day is 18 years of age and resides in an electoral district in Ontario — is entitled to three consecutive hours off from work to vote, as mandated by the Ontario Election Act.
In the upcoming election, polls will be open from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. EDT. This means that employees working 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. will have the requisite three consecutive hours following the end of their workday at 5 p.m. until polls close to vote. However, if an employee does not have a consecutive three-hour window, the employer must provide time off to allow for that period and cannot withhold pay or penalize any employee by reason of their absence. However, an employer can do so at the time which is at their convenience. For example, if an employee is scheduled to begin work at 11 a.m. and finish at 7 p.m., the employer can choose to provide the employee an hour of paid time off at the beginning or end of their shift, which would provide for a three-hour window in either case.
An elector employee can voluntarily choose to waive their rights and not make a request of their employer for the voting window; however, an employer cannot deny the request to have the three-hour window if it is made, and cannot request proof of attending a polling station from the employee.
In some cases, employees may choose to serve as returning officers or are appointed by a returning officer to be a poll official. In such cases, they must request leave at least seven days in advance. Similarly, an employer must grant this request and must not penalize the employee. However, in this case, an employer is not required to remunerate an employee during such leave, although vacation time should continue to accrue during the period.
The Election Act outlines serious consequences for anyone interfering with an employee’s right to their three hours to vote or for withholding pay. As such, any such interference should be avoided.Do not hesitate to reach out to a member of the Aird & Berlis Workplace Law Group should you have any questions. | <urn:uuid:54381931-1145-47f2-b0de-5b49a593ee3a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.airdberlis.com/insights/publications/publication/election-time-in-ontario-and-employee-voting-rights | 2023-09-23T19:01:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.976697 | 514 |
The application of Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) sensors measuring Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) gains increasing attention in the ventilation community because of their low price and claimed ability to supplement or even substitute CO2 sensors for demand controlled ventilation (DCV). Even though there are many “Indoor Environmental Quality” meters available on the market, in which these sensors are used, the amount of scientific studies focused on their reliability and applicability is still limited. Moreover, it seems that, although several ventilation producers offer VOC based control, these solutions are not implemented at large scale in the market.
During the AIVC webinar held on 4 September 2018, participants of IEA EBC Annex 68 presented research results, experiences and thoughts related to MOS VOC sensors. The aim of the webinar was to intensify discussion on the topic of low-cost sensors in the ventilation community.
The focus of the webinar was to introduce research projects focused on providing insight in functionality, behaviour and usability of MOS VOC sensors for ventilation control. This paper summarizes the presentations from the webinar. Section 3 discusses “Can MOS VOC sensors be used for ventilation control?”, presented by Nadja L. Lyng, section 4 “MOS VOC sensors’ properties and suitability for DCV control” by Jakub Kolarik and section 5 “VOC versus CO2 controlled DCV: A case study” by Jelle Laverge. The main take-aways and perspectives for MOS VOC sensors in ventilation systems are summarised in the conclusion section. | <urn:uuid:001db87b-bd37-4690-9887-d52f94dc263c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.aivc.org/resource/metal-oxide-semiconductor-sensors-measure-volatile-organic-compounds-ventilation-control | 2023-09-23T18:46:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.927921 | 333 |

How to Write an Article About Current Parenting Styles
By Alfie Kohn
1. To maximize the chance of getting your article published, be careful to make exactly the same argument that shows up in every other article on the topic. It sounds like this: “Parents today refuse to set limits for their children. Instead of disciplining them, they coddle and dote and shield them from frustration in order to protect their self-esteem. The result: a whole generation of undisciplined narcissists with a sense of entitlement that will eventually crash into the unforgiving real world.” With enough padding, you can easily expand that 50-word summary into a lengthy essay without adding anything much of substance — and without saying anything that hasn’t already been said in umpteen other articles and books.
2. Interview and quote only the carefully selected parenting authors who accept this thesis and will restate it for you.
3. Depend exclusively on snarky anecdotes about silly parents. Hope your readers won’t notice that you haven’t cited any real data to support your thesis — either about the prevalence of such parenting or about its effects — because no such data exist.
4. Even as you repeat what is by now the stale conventional wisdom about permissive parents and overprotected kids who don’t have a chance to learn from failure, try to create the impression that you are actually a courageous contrarian, boldly challengingthe conventional wisdom.
5. Slide from one indictment about parents (e.g., they hover too close) to a very different one (e.g., they’re too lax) as if these aren’t discrete hypotheses. In fact, if you write smoothly enough, readers may not notice that your complaints actually conflict with one another. For example, you can fault parents for being too wrapped up in their kids’ success, pushing them relentlessly to triumph over their peers — and then, a few paragraphs later, fault the same cohort of parents for trying to protect their kids from competition (by giving trophies to all the kids who participated in a game). Likewise, feel free to warn about outcomes that seem difficult to reconcile with one another: The young adults who were parented this way are self-satisfied twits — more pleased with themselves than their accomplishments merit . . . and, not only that, but they’re so unhappy that they’re in therapy!
6. Give the impression that this set of problems is unprecedented, or at least far worse than what we’ve seen in any previous generation — even though, again, there’s not a shred of evidence to support that contention. (Indeed, very similar complaints have been offered for decades, if not centuries.)
7. Frame your essay so that the curious phenomenon to be explained is this type of parenting rather than all the folks who are eager to believe that we aren’t tough enough on our kids. Don’t ask why parents might want to be reassured (notwithstanding all the developmental evidence to the contrary) that experiencing frustration and failure at a young age is terrific psychological preparation for coping with frustration and failure in adulthood.
8. Above all, ignore the powerfully conservative value system that underlies this way of looking at children and parenting, and the fact that it’s accepted uncritically in our culture even by people who are politically progressive.
1. For example, in the Atlantic Monthly (“How to Land Your Kid in Therapy,” 2011), Newsweek (“Just Say No: Why Parents Must Set Limits for Kids Who Want It All,” 2004), Time (“Parents and Children: Who’s in Charge Here?”, 2001), New York Times Magazine(“The Trouble with Self-Esteem,” 2002; “Enough with the Overparenting,” 2006), the New Yorker (“The Child Trap: The Rise of Overparenting,” 2008), and countless opinion pieces published in newspapers, syndicated columns, and blogs.
2. To name just a few: The Myth of Self-Esteem (1998), The Self-Esteem Trap (2008), The Feel-Good Curriculum (2000), The Epidemic (2003), Overindulged Children (2003), Spoiling Childhood (1997), The Narcissism Epidemic (2009), Generation Me (2007), Pampered Child Syndrome (2005), and The Omnipotent Child (1994). Trust me: if you’ve read one of these, you’ve read them all.
3. The one exception is Jean Twenge, a conservative social scientist who has published surveys in support of her claims about higher levels of narcissism in today’s youth. Be sure to quote her conclusions — and ignore the researchers in the field who have questioned them and failed to replicate her results.
4.

Calcium is an essential part of your daily nutrient intake. A variety of calcium in your body means strong, healthy bones, as well as a fully functioning cardiovascular system. Here are a few ways to ensure that you get the necessary calcium in your diet.
Eat Leafy Green Vegetables
Leafy green vegetables should be in your diet for many reasons. They provide roughage for your digestive system, as well as a wealth of nutrients that can be harder to find outside of the world of fresh produce. Make sure that the kind of leafy greens that you choose are, in fact, the same kind that carries high amounts of calcium; spinach, kale, collard greens, arugula, and corn all carry it in noteworthy amounts. Lettuce, on the other hand, does not – so make sure to always check the ingredient label on your salads.
Milk is famously another way to get calcium into your body quickly. Whole milk, one percent, two percent, and skim all have calcium, although skimmed will have the most and whole will have the least. If you happen to be unable to consume lactose – worry not! Almond milk also provides the calcium you need if you’re lactose intolerant. There are other alternatives (soy milk, oat milk, etc.) that carry calcium as well. If you’re not a fan of drinking straight milk, there are many ways that you can incorporate it into your diet as an ingredient. Creamy smoothies or sauces (like alfredo) can be a great way to get that extra calcium kick you’ve been looking for. Variations on milk (such as cheese) also can be used.
Vitamins are not necessarily an option that you might want to widely recommend to everybody. They do tend to be a bit more expensive than the actual option with real food – and they usually only give you a certain specific nutrient, whereas fruits, vegetables, and meats can give you lots at the same time. However, they are ideal for individuals in unique situations. Whether you or a loved one is lactose intolerant, or whether you have dietary issues that exclude certain key foods, oral vitamins are a simple, effective, over-the-counter way to supply your body with what it needs.
If you feel you aren’t getting enough calcium, it can be a good idea to take a long, hard look at your diet. Are you regularly consuming the kinds of foods that you need? If not, making the switch to a better and more fulfilling diet might be hard – but it will be worth it.

Disposable diapers might be responsible for a sharp rise in male infertility over the past 25 years
Disposable diapers might be responsible for a sharp rise in male infertility over the past 25 years. This was discovered after a recent study at the University of Kiel in Germany.
Researchers used a small thermal probe to test the scrotal temperature of 48 boys wearing disposable diapers during waking and sleeping hours. Temperatures were consistently one degree higher than normal body temperature when disposable diapers were worn. They concluded that the insulation properties of the disposables impaired the normal cooling mechanisms of the testicles, and found that in 13 subjects, the cooling mechanism had failed altogether.
Studies in several countries have shown that average sperm counts have fallen by half since 1938 and are declining as much as two per cent per year.

I get lots of emails on how to lose weight! So below is a sample of different tips as well as specific products that I love to recommend for long lasting weight loss. This is not a crash and burn diet approach, but rather a healthy as well as sustainable way to lose weight for good!! Remember only you can make the choice to lose weight and it takes determination and the will to do it! Hope you enjoy…
First of all, just know that it is always extremely difficult to lose the stubborn last couple of pounds. The results usually come faster (at least in the beginning) for someone who needs to lose a substaintial amount of weight, such as 50 pounds. Why? Any slight healthy lifestyle change can make a huge difference compared to someone trying to lose 5 pounds. For example, even if they just change one of two things they can lose weight FAST (i.e. cutting out coke, and say chips could make a huge difference).
The key to weight loss for anyone is to remember that every single body is different, and you have to figure out what your weaknesses are, what you can handle, what you can maintain for life and to not beat yourself up. Determination, positivity and sticking with something are key.
When people come into Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus for weight loss, it is never a simple answer. I always ask people the following things:
1. Write down your typical day(keep a journal). For example, what you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Write down your current activity level.
2. What are your favourite foods, or type of foods? What are your weaknesses? Foods that you know are not the best for you but you just can’t help it. For some people it is sweets ALL the way, others it is carbohydrates (bread lovers). Usually for North Americans, it is consuming too many empty calories like a can of coke or a 1000 calorie fast food meal too often.
3. From your journal entries, you can kind of narrow down what supplements would be best for you. People that crave sweets, or an excess in carbs may need something to balance their blood sugar like cinamin extract, or PGX for example.
Below are my favourite products that greatly help with weight loss and healthy living in general:
1. A cleanse. Brand: Renew Life First Cleanse 15 days. If you think your digestion sucks a cleanse may be in order. Poor digestion includes: gas, bloating, and you need to have at least one good bowel movement every day! It’s even recommended that you have two a day! The average person only goes every couple of days in North America, this is crazy! We have a lot of cranky people in this world because they are not eliminating regularily and their body is becoming more and more toxic. Your regularity/digestion is related to maintaining a healthy weight and the First Cleanse will get the ball rolling. In addition to the cleanse Renew Life’s Probiotics and Digestive Enzymes are extremely recommended and beneficial to a healthy gut. The cleanse is good for your: liver, kidneys, lungs, lypmphatic system, colon, small intestine, large intestine, cardiovascular system and blood.
2. Protein Shakes!!! This is my favourite thing to recommend to you! A good quality protein shake fills you with nutrients, good calories, and it is something easy and tastey! Make a shake most mornings and if you are hungry in the afternoon, have one at work. Protein holds you, it protects your lean muscle mass, lean muscle burns existing fat, muscle is your furnace! Put berries in it; believe it or not they are typically lower in the glycemic index therefore not making your blood sugar spike. Also they are the richest in Anti-oxidants. You can experiment and put so many different things in your protein shakes like coconut milk, almond milk, regular milk, walnuts, etc! There are sooo many recipes you can find. Also, get a blender!! A good one. They can be quite pricey but its worth it! Protein Brands: Renew Life Fit Smart, PVL Iso Gold, Progressive Harmony Protein, one of the most complete and healthy is… Vega Whole Meal Replacement by Sequel Naturals!!!! Amazingly healthy! SOOO complete. If you do try it get Vanilla Chai Flavour, mix with Almond milk unsweetened, banana, flax oil, walnuts, some yogurt if you want it thick. Oh very important, 1 gram of protein, per 1 pound of body weight each day. When you buy your protein powder you are looking for Whey Isolate (usually for weight loss). It is the purest form of protein protecting lean muscle mass. Great for women, losing weight, and for elderly! Whey concentrate is typically more for body builders or people who use up tones of calories and need the energy for sport. Whey Concentrate is roughly about 1000 calories per serving whereas Whey Isolate is about 100 to 150 calories per serving depending on the brand.
3. GREEN TEA! You know this one already, but this will stimulate your metabolism safely and it provides you with antioxidants.
4. Always remember that while supplements help, its not really supplements that are going to be the make it or break it, it is consistancy in your “diet for life” and your activity level. Find an activity that you like. Or if it is variety you like then go for it. For me I like to use my recumbant bike at home for convenience. I love prenatal yoga right now, and before I used to love playing badminton, but I can’t run around at the moment due to the pregnancy. I also love swimming, but everyone is different. It really doesn’t matter what you do, but you have to have the desire to go do it so that you will go consistantly! One of my relatives needs to pay for something because they hate wasting money. Once they pay they are commited.
5. Up your intake of fibre!!! FIBRE, FIBRE, FIBRE!!! 35 grams per day! You hear it a lot, but you need to eat lots of veges. Learn how you like them. Use coconut oil to cook. Its opposite of what you may think, but cocanut oil is soooo good for your heart, your skin and your hair. It is safe to cook with, so high heat is great!! Also, you can steam your veges too! Brocoli, Chinese veges, watercress, and also make soups for dinner with lots of veges. Just boil water, put a healthy noodle in there, add an egg till it is a honey consistancy, put a chicken thigh in there for flavour and then you can put your veges in there at the last so they are not over cooked. Red peppers are delicious in there. All you need is a little salt and pepper. Note: stay away from processed packaged foods and sauces.
6. Eat 4 to 5 times a day of healthy calories, nutritous calories. Smaller but more frequent meals is key. If you do these things you will feel fantastic!
7. Health wise, get Greens in your diet, by Genuine Health, and take fish oil every day. You will look younger for longer. Its really great for your skin, inflammation, joints, colon health and your hair. Also, if you can get a multi in you every day that would be fantastic!! Platinum liquid softgels are the BEST!

Once you cook your food from your Renal Diet recommendations, Portion Control is another humble but helpful step towards both kidney health & body-weight management. While admittedly, this may sound like “lynching” your food freedom further, it is completely logical and definitely worth your effort!
Why do we say so?
Well, eating normal portion sizes more than the recommended number of times per day, or a one-time huge, enthusiastic portion of “kidney-friendly low values” of specific nutrients habitually, do not take too long to add up and yield “kidney-damaging high values” of those very nutrients in our blood.
For instance, 2-3 OUNCES of a cooked portion of meat, fish or poultry (about the size of a deck of cards) taken ONCE EVERY ALTERNATE DAY (or 3-4 times per week) forms one kidney-safe portion in a CKD patient. If you take a 10-ounce huge slice of lean meat for one meal or eat a 3-ounce slice three times a day a regular basis, it would only act like a brazen insult of protein-phosphorus-and-fat on your unwell kidneys.
Why be knowingly hostile to your unwell kidneys?
So, it is best to consider investing in kitchen tools that help you stick to portion control.
This is both to prevent your unwell kidneys from hasty damage as well as to keep your body weight in check. (Win-Win!)
1. Portion divider (for dough)
2. Portion dividers for solid food
3. Measuring Ladle Set for portion-sizing fluids
4. Kitchen Weighing Scale for dry weight measurements
