The stalemate on redistricting in South Dakota is over as the Legislature on Wednesday approved new political boundaries that are likely to shake up the Statehouse.
Moderate Senate Republicans championed the proposal. The state’s population has shifted towards urban areas in the last decade and the map’s proponents argued that new legislative districts must reflect that change.
House lawmakers unsuccessfully pushed a map that would have kept legislative lines close to their current positions.
The proposal cleared the House by a handful of votes with a conservative group of Republicans opposing the redistricting proposal. It easily passed the Senate.
The compromise might have been reached Tuesday, but action was paused when House Majority Leader Kent Peterson suffered a medical incident during a Republican caucus meeting that morning and was taken to the hospital.
Peterson was conscious as he was wheeled out on a stretcher, but the incident halted negotiations to find a compromise. Peterson had played a central role as the first 2 days of the session and the search for a consensus plan. | <urn:uuid:a9ad0674-ba08-43f0-aaae-3149bfbf7eba> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://chadronradio.com/sd-legislature-passes-redistricting-plan/ | 2023-09-27T10:51:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.969797 | 204 |
So we headed out from Dave’s place in Oakland to try to get to our hotel reservation in Atascadero that night and avoid Super Bowl traffic on Sunday.
Around 1:00 in the morning, we rolled in for gas in Gonzales, CA. We return to the RV to be greeted by a dead battery. We call AAA and get a jump. Ok! Back to the road!
2:00 the power steering goes out on the freeway, lights dim and the RV all but stops. We get it to the side of the freeway on it’s last push. We’re right next to an exit in Greenfield, CA.
Luckily, we have AAA with RV coverage. Unluckily, they informed us that, while the RV was covered for a free tow, our trailer was not, and it would be up to us to arrange a separate tow for it. Even more unluckily any truck that was big enough to haul the RV would be unavailable until after 8:00 am the next morning. Even more unluckily still, the towing company that they recommended we call for the trailer kept hanging up on us.
Jared explained that, “I have my family with me, including our two-year-old son.” This got two different responses from two separate AAA operators: one suggested I call 911 and talk to CHP to have them arrange a paid tow, the other felt for our plight and tried calling some of their commercial towing affiliates.
CHP was able to send a squad car to sit behind us with lights ablaze and deter drivers from smashing into us, and they sent for a couple of very expensive tow trucks. Finally, we got a call back from AAA. They found a truck that could tow the RV free of charge.
We just needed to get to the auto parts store a mile away. We needed to have them test if the alternator was dead , which was Kim and Jared’s diagnosis. AAA will be by to get us in an hour…or so. By 4:00, we are all snuggled up and sleeping outside of O’Riley Auto Parts…except Rudy, who now is wide awake from his excitement of riding in the front seat of the tow truck. Never mind that he was squished into one seat with Sandi and me! Now, at 4:30 in the morning, he wants to play steam roller with mom. Ugh.
7:30 am – O’Riley Auto Parts opens up, and by 9:00 Kim and Jared have the alternator pulled out and are trying to assess the problem. Sandi and I took Rudy to McDonald’s for breakfast and actually had a wonderful time meeting new friends. 4 little girls were absolutely smitten with Rudy’s baby blues, and came right up to hold his hands and touch his hair and talk to him. “Spiderman spins webs” was all he could come up with. What can I say, he gets his game from his father…
Turns out, Greenfield is a tiny town full of very helpful people. Obviously, it’s a Sunday, so no shops are open for car repair. Super Bowl Sunday, so doubly so. But, a girl at O’Riley says her cousin has a shop and is working today. So, around noon, Carlos rolls up and Kim (against all she’s been taught, but trusting her gut) gets in his truck to see where his shop is so she can direct Jared when he returns from the restroom. As Kim puts it, “I asked the guy if he was going to kidnap me.” He spoke very little English, so when Kim let him know that she was “no punk”, it was probably lost on him. But he did laugh and smile and Kim felt at ease. And, as she put it later, she was “feeling pretty gangster”, so if he did try anything, my money would have been on Kim, hands down.
Anyway, we all got over to the shop that had 3 generations of men working on cars. They took a look at the issue and determined that they need to Frankenstein a completely new alternator – oh you know…no biggie. Kim was glowing. She got to watch these guys totally custom-build a piece for our engine, AND they let her help! Rudy was doing puzzles, dancing with dad and napping, and Sandi and I were in charge of hospitality. Which meant getting beer and preparing plates of food for us to eat.
Spirits high, we passed the time walking through the one street of the town, hanging in the RV, and dancing to the mariachi music coming through the radio. We’d given up on catching the Super Bowl, but with any luck, we still hoped to get to our hotel that night. We had 70 miles to go. So, almost 3 hours into the process one guy hops into the driver seat and turns the key, moment of truth…it started!! Sounding beautiful, we all cheered and jumped up and down. THEN, the guy from the auto parts store (O’Reilly Auto Parts, by the way) drove over with his gear to test the alternator. Good to go! Then we waited for the other shoe to fall. What will this cost us? I kid you not, they asked for $280. Total. That’s it. They must have thought we were crazy. We made them all take a picture with us and gave everyone hugs. I’m certain they have never had customers like us.
Finally on the road, windows open in the warm air, we headed to Atascadero to claim our reward of beds and sleep.
We finally made it in time to catch the last 10 minutes or so of the game. We were grateful to see Peyton win the game while we all into the couches. Our turn to retire too…for the night. | <urn:uuid:7dfbb168-ab04-4788-afdd-76a3e9a70487> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://champagnesunday.com/day-19-breakdown/ | 2023-09-27T11:05:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.985771 | 1,246 |
It was a magical night in Bonita Springs, Florida for this family/maternity photoshoot on the beach. The family traveled from the East Coast so that I could photograph this stage of their lives and the sky did not disappoint. I wish all of my clients could experience a sunset like this one. The colors changed every five minutes as the sun approached the horizon and they didn’t stop there. After golden hour ends, blue hour begins. This is when the real colors come out to play. Here are a few of my favorites from their session.

It’s rare that I cancel a session due to weather. If you’ve been in Southwest Florida sometime between May 1st and October 1st you know that afternoons bring storms. I’ve learned to work with the weather otherwise I wouldn’t be able to work at all during summer. Most storms are gone as quickly as they appear but sometimes that’s not the case. When the entire state is covered with rain (on the radar) that’s when you know you better reschedule. Unfortunately that happened to this family. Luckily we were able to move the session out a few days. Their session still took place during the stormy part of the day (clearly lol) but we still had plenty of time to capture these moments.

@Pamela i am very aware of what he did he was nagging axes and he faced the consequence. Either you point fingers because one little prick rants about it or respect the judgement of the mods.
I hadn't questioned the decision or the criteria followed by the moderators because LiveChat doesn't fall within my scope of action. If I'm offering my perspective on the matter, it's only because you had discredited my judgment when sharing this incident.
Regardless of how wrong his reasoning is, the user has the right to have their complaints heard. I'm only fulfilling my duty when transferring his request. What you do with it is no longer my problem.
Now mods can be wrong so was @Sup once and he got demodded and if there is any grey area in what axes have done its not as big what sup did. Yes i am judging him for what he did in past the thing is. He just comes to troll and then act all innocent.
His demoding and what happened in Live Chat are separate incidents and should be judged separately.
Mere "nagging" or "trolling" (in this case, putting in doubt a certain person's manhood) doesn't constitute a reason for a ban. Given that you have been a moderator for a longer time than I've been active on this site, I presume you know that.
I would say tag is better than sup at least he mans up. Although tag is a monkey. @Sup ffs grow up reminder 2 | <urn:uuid:b41f4ed5-e48a-4837-bcde-4f3c4c05aaf0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://chatrooms.talkwithstranger.com/tags/thank%20you | 2023-09-27T10:56:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.979936 | 308 |
, 2000 and Carlesimo et al., 2011). For example, dissociations between deficient verbal recall and spared visual recall have been described following lesions lateralized to the left side that involve the lateral thalamic nucleus, the internal medullary lamina (iML), and midline nuclei (Mori, Yamadori & Mitani, 1986); the midline nuclei and the MDT (Mennemeier, Fennell, Valenstein, & Heilman, 1992); the MTT, ventrolateral thalamus, and the MDT (patient IG, Stuss, Guberman, Nelson, & Larochelle, 1988); the MDT and MTT (Schott, Crutch, Fox, & Warrington, 2003). A correspondence between deficient MAPK Inhibitor Library purchase visual and visuospatial memory and preserved verbal memory have also
been reported following damage lateralized to either the anterior thalamus only (Daum & Ackermann, 1994); the posterolateral thalamus (patients 4 and 7, Graff-Radford, Damasio, Yamada, Elsinger, & Damasio, 1985); the anterolateral thalamus (patients 13 and 14, Graff-Radford et al., 1985); the lateral thalamus (patients 18 and 19, Graff-Radford et al., 1985); or the MTT, MDT, ventrolateral http://www.selleckchem.com/products/Adriamycin.html thalamus, and midline nuclei (patient RM, Stuss et al., 1988). There are also a number of other studies presenting the counterargument to the material-specific hypothesis, with global memory deficits following lesions lateralized the same thalamic nuclei and white matter tracts previously associated with the predicted
deficits. So for example, both verbal and visual recall impairments have been described in patients with a unilateral right-sided lesion in the region of the posterolateral thalamus (patient 9, Graff-Radford et al., 1985); the anterolateral thalamus (patients 10 and 11, Graff-Radford et al., 1985); and the lateral thalamus (patients 21–24, Graff-Radford et al., 1985). Global memory impairments also follow right-sided thalamic lesions involving the dorsal intralaminar nuclei (Van der Werf et al., 1999); the MDT (patient 16, Graff-Radford et al., 1985) or the anterior-ventral thalamus (Summers, 2002). There are several possible reasons why the evidence is not fully concordant. First, ‘unilateral’ lesions mapped using standard Rucaparib brain imaging techniques (e.g., Edelstyn, Ellis, Jenkinson, & Sawyer, 2002; Squire & Moore, 1979) may actually turn out to be bilateral when high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging is used (as in the case of Baumgartner & Regard, 1993; Edelstyn, Hunter, & Ellis, 2006; Squire, Amaral, Zola-Morgan, Kritchevsky, & Press, 1989). Second, memory for material that is nominally verbal or visual may sometimes be supported by both verbal and visual encoding so that tasks that seem to provide pure measures of verbal or visual memory do not do so. Furthermore, it is difficult to be sure that memory performance on a task is selectively dependent on just verbal or just non-verbal visual coding. | <urn:uuid:c80cb270-1f47-4e19-a0a2-3f27a51845ea> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://checkpointinhibitor.com/2018/06 | 2023-09-27T10:43:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.762383 | 750 |

At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother’s death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life. With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State—and she would do it alone. Told with suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.
In order to find yourself, sometimes you have to lose something. Or in the case of Cheryl Strayed, someone. Someone very dear to her, her own mother, who she loses to cancer. The personal tragedy leaves her distraught with grief and sets off a chain of unfortunate events in her life—estrangement from her stepfather and her two younger siblings; extramarital affairs and experiments with drugs; the heartbreaking decision to put down her horse; and divorce from the man she loved and who truly cared for her.
Cheryl is lost in the wilderness of her life. And it is the wilderness she seeks to find herself again or, as she says, “to save myself.”
Four years after her mother’s death, Cheryl embarks on an epic and a fascinating pilgrimage of self-discovery—all by herself—hiking the 1,100-mile Pacific Crest Trail that starts from the Mexican border and ends on the Canadian border. Cheryl, though, begins her redemptive journey from the Mojave Desert, hiking through California and Oregon, and finally making it to the Bridge of the Gods, a cantilever bridge, and to Washington state.
It takes Cheryl over three months to complete the hike, through imposing mountain ranges, forests and plateaus, record snowfall and extreme temperatures, and past deadly creatures such as bears and rattlesnakes. Her remarkable and seemingly impossible expedition, often assailed by fear and self-doubt, is as intimidating as it is beguiling, the rocky terrain as hostile as it is hospitable. In the end, Cheryl emerges triumphant, grateful to the PCT—“the long walk”—for making her whole again.
Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail is an engaging and entertaining memoir etched with vivid details of Cheryl’s journey starting with her lack of preparedness, first with her humongous backpack she affectionately calls ‘Monster’ and then with her ill-fitting boots that cause her to lose the nails of her feet; the books she carries (including the oft-repeated The Pacific Crest Trail, Volume 1: California), reads and burns on the PCT; the many kind and helpful people, mostly fellow-hikers, she meets on the way and exchanges notes with; and the nights she spends alone in her tent, eating granola bars, listening to the voices in her head and the strange sounds outside.
Throughout her journey, Cheryl recalls, with a tinge of pain and sadness, the life she left behind—her childhood, the abusive father who abandoned them, the stepfather who admirably filled his shoes, remorse over her failed marriage, and finally, the one person who meant the world to her—her mother, and the illness that snatched her away. The frequent flashbacks, however, do not take away the joy of reading about her hike, though, at 338 pages, I thought it was a bit long. But considering it’s a deeply personal and emotionally-charged account of her early life, the writer would be justified in telling it any how she likes. Cheryl tells hers in first person, in a candid, engaging and almost conversational style.
Wild struck a chord because I’d read of similar journeys of self-discovery, undertaken for different reasons. Notably, Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words, where Peace Pilgrim (Mildred Lisette Norman) walked over 25,000 miles on a personal pilgrimage for peace; the classic Walden, a life in the woods of Massachusetts, by Henry David Thoreau; and my personal favourite, In Quest of God and In The Vision of God by Swami Ramdas, the Hindu monk who walked the length and breadth of undivided India in search of spiritual salvation.
Nearly every one of us must someday get on the trail, not necessarily a physical trail, and find ourselves.
I plan to watch the 2014 screen adaptation of Wild where Reese Witherspoon plays Cheryl Strayed. I learnt of the film only after I read the book. | <urn:uuid:a9545c75-7670-4404-803d-0ee45932f041> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://chesscomicsandcrosswords.blogspot.com/2019/02/ | 2023-09-27T12:36:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.9581 | 1,007 |
It was after 14-year-old Emmett Till disappeared in Mississippi and his mother’s dread grew, after his tortured body was found in a lake, weighted down with a 75-pound cotton-gin fan, and after his 700-mile journey home to Chicago in a wooden box. That’s when news reporter Mattie Smith Colin waited with Mamie Till Mobley at the old Illinois Central station on what must have been the longest day of her life.
“Oh God, oh God. My only boy.”
With those words, Mrs. Colin captured Mrs. Mobley’s anguish in a story she wrote for the Chicago Defender.
She described how the mother of the African-American teenager who would become an iconic figure in the civil rights movement dropped to her knees, praying, while her son’s remains were unloaded from the train after his 1955 murder by racists in Money, Miss., for supposedly having whistled at a white woman.
“Lord, you gave your only son to remedy a condition,” Mrs. Mobley cried, “but who knows but what the death of my only son might bring an end to lynching!”
Mrs. Mobley told Mrs. Colin how she recognized her son, who’d been visiting relatives in the South when he was killed.
“I stood a long time looking at the body. I recognized Emmett’s hairline, his hair, the general shape of his nose and his teeth. Especially his teeth because I used to tell him daily to take care of his teeth, because he had the most beautiful set I have ever seen … However, some of his teeth from the front and right side were missing when the body arrived here. He had a perfect set when he left.”
Later, Mrs. Mobley, vowing to “let the world see what I’ve seen,” decided on a glass-topped casket for her son’s wake at Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ at 40th and State. The ensuing shock and revulsion helped stoke the civil rights movement.
Mrs. Colin never forgot the tragedy of that day, said Eugene F. Scott, former publisher of the Defender. “She wasn’t looking at it like a reporter,” Scott said. “She was looking at it like a mother.”
Mrs. Colin, 98, of Chicago, died Dec. 6 after a short illness.
Starting around 1950, she worked for the Defender for more than half a century. She covered news and politics and served as food and fashion editor. Her reporting was second to none, Scott said.
The Defender’s owner-publisher John H. Sengstacke “had the utmost confidence in Mattie,” he said.
Sengstacke entrusted Mrs. Colin with shepherding the many VIPs who attended the Defender’s yearly Bud Billiken Day parade, including former President Harry Truman, who was there in 1956. Later, she served as grand marshal.
Young Mattie grew up in Bronzeville near 37th and Calumet. Her mother, also named Mattie, died while giving birth to her, and she was raised by her father Frank, a jitney owner and driver, and his relatives, according to Anne L. Fredd, a cousin by marriage. She attended Raymond grade school and Fenger High School and studied journalism at Loyola and Northwestern universities.
In 1952, she married her bridge partner Robert N. Colin, a Chicago cop who later worked in the Cook County assessor’s office. After he retired, he considered it his job to drive Mrs. Colin to her many work and social engagements, Fredd said. He died in 1992.
Mrs. Colin segued to part-time status at the Defender while working as a writer for the Chicago Park District and as a staff assistant for the city’s Department of Streets and Sanitation. In 1965, she volunteered to do publicity in Washington, D.C., for the inauguration of President Lyndon Johnson, Fredd said.
“What an amazing narrative that was, of her evolution covering Emmett Till and JFK and the aftershock of Kennedy’s assassination,” said Ethan Michaeli, her former copy editor at the Defender and author of the 2016 book “The Defender,” a history of the newspaper. “She was a political reporter at a time when it was a great time to be a political reporter, maybe the greatest time ever.”
Mrs. Colin was always impeccably attired and tastefully accessorized, her nails, hair and make-up all “done.” She loved chocolate ice cream and a nightly martini, her friend Esther Barnett said. And she enjoyed living at 1 W. Superior because it was walking distance from Marshall Field’s, Saks, Neiman Marcus and I. Magnin, Fredd said.
Her son Robert N. Colin Jr. died before her. A celebration of Mrs. Colin’s life is planned Saturday in Chicago.

Be still my heart! This classy, sophisticated and glamorous wedding in London is overflowing with so much prettiness! I literally have spent the entire morning swooning over all the incredibly gorgeous images captured by photographer ASFIS PHOTOGRAPHY…. and I am still trying to figure out which one is my favorite…
Christina shared with us her beautiful wedding proposal story: “Sotiris is a car dealer who runs his own business and he told me that someone who had come to look at a car worked in VIP theatre experiences and offered him a 2 for 1. He called me on his way home from work on the Thursday and asked me if I would like to go to the theatre on Saturday evening to see Phantom of the Opera (it’s our favourite musical!). He said there was a VIP package he’d got from someone who came to view a car… Of course I agreed and couldn’t wait! We went to the theatre, we were greeted by our personal butler who gave us our programmes and showed us to our private pre theatre room called the Royal room where we relaxed before the show and enjoyed champagne and canapes”.
“We were ushered to our seats for the start of the show. We watched the show then were shown back to our private room for the interval where we enjoyed more champagne and canapes. Sotiris asked me to check inside my programme as there should have been an invoice for the VIP package and at the same time pretended to go to the loo. As I opened the envelope inside were some beautiful words from Sotiris and his proposal to me asking me to marry him- as I looked down, he was in front of me on one knee! Of course I said yes!”
“My dress was a Maggie Sottero wedding dress. It was a fishtail style dress with lace and customised Swarovski crystals. I also had a veil and a train made for me with added crystals”.
Christina and Sotiris planned their white and navy blue wedding in London. “We live in London so it wasn’t far from most of our family and friends (except those who came from abroad); but I’d always wanted a London wedding!”
The wedding ceremony took place in the The Greek Orthodox Cathedral Church of All Saints in Camden, London.
The wedding colors were navy blue and white and Christina describes the style of her wedding in London as: “Classy, sophisticated and glamorous”.
The best moment for Christina was: “Apart from being pampered… getting my hair and makeup done… it was when my husband and I were announced officially married! Such a lovely feeling!!!”
“I don’t know which was the “best decision”, but my favorite things were: my dress, our cake and our production/decor. The “worst decision”… I can’t think of one and I don’t regret any decisions I made. Everything was absolutely perfect! I spent a long time planning and trying to ensure all the decisions made were the best choices. You only do this once, so to me it has to be everything you want on your special day”.
“As soon as we saw our wedding venue, The Landmark London Hotel we both loved it and wanted our reception there. It is a beautiful venue!”, the bride told us.
“I wanted the room to look striking and have the wow factor. On the navy and white color scheme, I chose navy floor length table cloths with white chairs and navy bows. The fireplaces had candles on them. We had ice blue up lighters around the room and white pin spot lights on the tables. Dance floor was white with sparkly led lights. White floor to ceiling draping on the window bays”.
“Flowers were white with a tinge of pink- roses and hydrangea’s, and the flower centre pieces on the guest tables were a mixture of fish bowls and a gorgeous arrangement of flowers on a see through vase with flower balls hanging down and crystals”.
After having her perfect classy, sophisticated and glamorous wedding in London, the bride shares her advice: “Be organized, keep on top of your paperwork and try not to stress too much!” | <urn:uuid:68cef59b-3451-4f42-9c18-4cac65fee6c5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://chicandstylishweddings.com/tag/london/page/2/ | 2023-09-27T11:21:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.976502 | 909 |

Dujiangyan Irrigation System is honored as the 'Treasure of Sichuan', which still plays a crucial role in draining off floodwater, irrigating farms and providing water resources for more than 50 cities in the province.In China. Over 2,200 years ago, the city was threatened by the frequent floods caused by flooding of the Minjiang River (tributary of the Yangtze River). Li Bing, a local official of Sichuan Province at that time, together with his son, decided to construct an irrigation system on the Minjiang River to prevent flooding. Since the accomplishment of Construction, the Chengdu Plain has been free of flooding and the people have been living peacefully and affluently.
Leave for Dujiangyan at 7:30 amWe shall go to the none touristy temple which built in 11th century, and rebuilt in Qing dynasty. It’s so famous by Guanyin hall (Avalokitessvara) and 3 different religions together. The green trees around the mountain and so many beautiful stone carves on the way to the top mountain. We take a light hike to the top above 1400m.By the side of an old temple, we may have chance to learn something about Zen meditation in the forest.
After all, we will back to the main road where is the entrance of Dujiangyan irrigation.Go through the temples and buildings along the mountain, we down to the first part of irrigation project, and start the rest part tour of today.We could have some free time after the irrigation project in the Nanqiao square area. | <urn:uuid:12c94898-4bff-4fa1-b358-6c151b504902> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://chinatour.net/dujiangyan-lingyan-temple-1-day-hike.html | 2023-09-27T13:07:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.935866 | 388 |

Somebody help me . . . please!!!
I need advice on what to do in my kitchen now that I’ve taken down the curtains . . . that matched the chandy . . . that I didn’t really like . . . but almost left in place . . . because I didn’t want to hurt the previous homeowner’s feelings . . . because she is the nicest lady in the world . . .
‘Nuff said, you can read all about that dilemma HERE!
Just like the old light fixture, they weren’t bad. In fact, they were kind of cute, just not my style.
I like the look of the window panes that were once hidden. I like that more light comes into the room. I like seeing more of the trees in my back yard. But does it leave the area above the window looking too stark? What’s your opinion? Do you think this space NEEDS curtains?
Since I’m no longer living near friends who were always willing to give me opinions I asked Mr. OTN. He didn’t even notice that I’d taken them down so I’m not sure if he ever really noticed that they were there in the first place! Okay, so he was eagle-eyed at finding my new chandy in the great sea of chandys at Habitat for Humanity but that doesn’t mean he notices everything that’s going on at home.
My kitchen is a nice sunny yellow color which was professionally painted just a few months ago so I don’t think I’ll paint it for now even though it isn’t the color of my old kitchen.
Here I go again . . . wrestling with what once was . . .
I loved the colors in my old kitchen! I designed it myself and it was a kitchen I really hated to leave! You can see that makeover (my most popular post ever) HERE. So of course I’d love to create the same exact kitchen in my new house. The problem is that this kitchen has also been recently remodeled so I really can’t justify a complete remodel. In time I will probably add a taller back splash and do something different with the hood over the range but that’s about it.
. . . and add curtains something like this in blue toile.
I also love the look of red and yellow and I have several red accent pieces so I could do something like this with red toile.
Or a bolder Buffalo check like this!
Or I could use all three colors, yellow, red and blue. In this picture you’ll notice that there are no curtains. Probably because it’s colorful enough without them.
. . . even though they don’t show much of the windows. As you can probably tell from my fabric choices, I love French Country kitchens and that is the look I’d like to recreate without getting too busy.
Like I said, I need help and I value your opinions.
To see more pictures of curtains I’ve pinned to Pinterest to help in this decision making process you can click HERE. If you see something that you think is an even better choice for my kitchen please, let me know as I’ll take all the input I can get! | <urn:uuid:2a6a3014-1543-4241-b8f4-d25022e49c69> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://chosenchairs.com/2014/10/to-curtain-or-not-to-curtain-that-is-the-question.html | 2023-09-27T10:47:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.963129 | 719 |

“The adulterous connection of church and state.”
Is “separation of Church and State” a bedrock principle of the U.S. Constitution? Should it be? The answers of constitutional historians Daniel L. Dreisbach and Philip Hamburger fly in the face of conventional wisdom, embodied in such cases as Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe (2000), in which the Supreme Court held that students at a Texas high school were to be barred from delivering nonsectarian, nonproselytizing prayers before their football games—even though the students themselves had voted for such ceremonies.
The Santa Fe decision was based on a 1992 Supreme Court ruling that had banned officially sponsored nonsectarian prayers at a public-middle-school graduation ceremony on the grounds that,
at a minimum, the Constitution guarantees that government may not coerce anyone to support or participate in religion or its exercise, or otherwise act in a way that establishes a state religion or religious faith, or tends to do so.
Listening to a school-sponsored prayer violates the Constitution, a majority of the Court believes, because the “coercive” nature of such prayers leads the nonbelieving student to feel alienated from his classmates.
Because it is inconceivable that the Framers of the First Amendment were concerned with such trivial considerations, we are led to ask how their language has come to be so interpreted. The First Amendment, after all, states only (in pertinent part) that, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” This prohibition is directed only at the federal legislature—so how can it be construed to prohibit the activities of a group of Texas students?
Two questions must be answered. First, has the language of the First Amendment been properly construed in barring such activities as school prayer?; second, given the federal system of joint sovereignty by state and national governments, is it appropriate to extend First Amendment prohibitions against congressional action to state and local governments? Explaining how our Supreme Court has moved from declaring, as it did in 1892, that ours is a “Christian nation” to enforcing a secular conception of the American polity is a difficult task, and neither Dreisbach nor Hamburger attempts to explore every byway of this bizarre doctrinal journey. Both focus their attention, however, on two villains: one, a willing, and the other, an unwitting, accomplice.
The principal perpetrator they identify in the person of U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Hugo Black, who wrote in Everson v. Board of Education of Ewing Township (1947) that
The “establishment of religion” clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor the Federal Government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another. Neither can force nor influence a person to go to or to remain away from church against his will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion. . . . No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions. . . . Neither a state nor the Federal Government can, openly or secretly, participate in the affairs of any religious organizations or groups and vice versa. In the words of Jefferson, the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect “a wall of separation between Church and State.”
Later, in his summation, Black stated that “The First Amendment has erected a wall between church and state. That wall must be kept high and impregnable. We could not approve the slightest breach.” He then proceeded, nevertheless, to hold that it was permissible for the state of New Jersey to use public funds to reimburse transportation costs of pupils attending parochial schools, so long as such reimbursement was available to all students.
Later cases, such as those involving the banning of school prayer or Bible reading in public schools, took Black’s language more literally, actually erecting the “high and impregnable” wall and more clearly forbidding any publicly funded participation in religion. Is this what Jefferson had in mind?
Dreisbach’s answer seems to be “Not really.” His volume, which he correctly describes as a “sourcebook,” features a short essay (about 130 pages) reviewing Jefferson’s views on religion and exploring the circumstances in which Jefferson wrote his “wall of separation” statement. The rest of the book consists of extensive notes and reprints of items from Jefferson’s papers, including drafts and the final text of his 1802 missive to the Danbury Baptist Association. The Baptists had written Jefferson to “rejoice” in his election as President, to indicate their belief that his selection was the work of God, and to opine that “Religion is at all times and places a Matter between God and Individuals—That no man ought to suffer in Name, person or effects on account of his religious Opinions . . . ” They sought Jefferson’s indication of agreement, and so he wrote that
Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” thus building a wall of separation between Church and State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.
I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection and blessing of the common Father and Creator of man, and tender you for yourselves and your religious association, assurances of my high respect and esteem.
Not much here has to do with invocations at football games, and, as Dreisbach indicates, it is significant that this official letter of a chief magistrate to some of his constituents closes with a reference to prayer. Moreover, Dreisbach shows, Jefferson’s purpose in writing this letter was to “heave a brick” at some of his Federalist Connecticut clerical critics, who had campaigned hard against his election, claiming that he was a shameless atheist. The Baptists—Jeffersonian Republicans who felt discriminated against by members of the state-supported Congregationalist Church in Connecticut—were celebrating the victory of their candidate and seeking to undercut support for their foes. As both Dreisbach and Hamburger suggest, the letter to the Danbury Baptists was not really a demand by Jefferson for religious freedom but more of an attempt to silence his Federalist clerical critics.
Moreover, as Dreisbach and Hamburger demonstrate, Jefferson’s letter had no immediate impact on constitutional interpretation; the religious sentiments expressed in the letter, however, may well have represented his true beliefs. Jefferson did depart from the practice of Washington and Adams by declining to use the bully pulpit of the presidency to proclaim national days of fasting, humiliation, and prayer. Nevertheless, shortly after he wrote the 1802 letter, he began to attend religious services regularly held in the U.S. House of Representatives, and he never again used the “wall of separation” metaphor to describe the relationship between religion and government. Furthermore, the Baptists, who—as both Hamburger and Dreisbach stress—were really not in favor of separation of Church and State, never chose to publish Jefferson’s letter; and the “wall of separation” metaphor had virtually no influence until 1947, when it was cited by Black (although it had been resurrected previously by the Supreme Court to support federal prosecution of Mormon polygamy).
These two books reinforce the work of earlier scholars who, writing bravely against the consensus, have demonstrated that the modern interpretation of Jefferson’s sentiments differ from the prevailing views of the Framers’ era. The Founding Fathers often stressed the essential role of religion in the healthy operation of the young republic; and Hamburger notes that, “At the very least, in their social attitudes Baptists seem to have had no quarrel with the commonplace that religion was essential for moral-ity, republican government, and freedom.”
These books clearly explain that the purpose of the First Amendment’s “establishment” clause was to leave the individual states free to decide for themselves how to integrate religion with government. The authors of the First Amendment did intend that no sect be established as the mandatory national religion. Their purpose, however, was not to injure religion but to promote recognition of the fact that, at the time of the framing of the amendment, most of the states (like Massachusetts and Connecticut) had laws either establishing churches or imposing religious qualifications for the exercise of the franchise or for officeholding. Thus, like the other provisions of the Bill of Rights, the First Amendment was an attempt to protect the states from an overweening federal government, which might unduly interfere with their constitutional prerogatives. Dreisbach notes that to construe the First Amendment, as Black and his acolytes have done, as restricting individual states’ and localities’ religious preferences is to turn it “on its head.”
Dreisbach demonstrates that even Jefferson clearly understood that the First Amendment was limited to restrictions on the federal government. So why is it now applied to the states? Justice Black, for one, did not doubt that it should be. Writing in Everson, Black based his decision on “The First Amendment, as made applicable to the states by the Fourteenth.” The 14th Amendment, though, does not expressly incorporate the First, and the plethora of federal-court decisions applying the Establishment Clause against state and local governments have followed the curious argument that the 14th Amendment’s assurances that no state shall deprive any person of “due process” or the “equal protection of the laws” or the “privileges and immunities of United States citizenship” somehow mean that, if the federal government is barred from encouraging religious activities, so are the states.
Reams have been filled with discussions of this “incorporation” doctrine, and even though the current dogma in the courts and the legal academy is that it was the intention of the authors of the 14th Amendment that it be recognized, Hamburger, in particular, makes it plain that this was not the belief prevalent at the time of the 14th Amendment’s passage. A number of American liberals and secularists vainly sought to pass an amendment expressly applying the text of the First Amendment against the states, and virtually everyone seems to have understood then that the 14th Amendment itself worked no alteration in this legal context. How, then, could Black and other justices assert that the 14th Amendment incorporated the First, and how did Jefferson’s “wall of separation,” originally intended to do no more than serve as a barrier between the federal government and the states, become a “high and impregnable” impediment to any state or local endorsement of the Holy?
Hamburger’s brilliant thesis is that the American effort at separation of Church and State has had more to do with the promotion of bigotry and intolerance than with the preservation of liberty. This is not likely to please the ACLU, People For the American Way, or other purported defenders of proper constitutional pieties. In an awesome display of learning in theology, Church history, constitutional doctrine, and 19th-century American culture, Hamburger reveals that, until many Americans felt threatened by the wave of mostly Catholic immigrants to urban areas in the late 19th century, no one really cared much about Jefferson’s wall. Once Catholics began to agitate for state funds to support their parochial schools and began actively to intervene in political contests, however, nativist Americans urged the principle of separation of Church and State not only to prevent funding for parochial schools but to prevent Catholic clerical and lay intervention in American civic life. Ham-burger does not note that there is an interesting parallel with what happened in England in the 17th century, when fear of papist contamination led English Protestant aristocrats to ease out the Catholic James II and replace him with the Protestant William of Orange.
There are differences between 17th-century England and 19th-century America, however, and Hamburger maintains that American fear of Catholicism had as much to do with preserving a Protestant cultural ethos as it did with a theological and political fear of Rome. Still, the similarities in the proffered concepts (Catholics as the unthinking slaves of the pope, the pope as Antichrist, etc.) are striking. And just as the Glorious Revolution reinforced the position of the established church in England, anti-Catholic animus in late-19th-century America was generally accompanied by efforts to preserve the study and reading of the Protestant Bible in public schools and to promote a recognition of the importance of Christianity to good government. Hamburger does acknowledge that some had begun to articulate what would become our secular assumptions with regard to the proper relationship between government and religion, but these amounted to a tiny and impotent minority. Indeed, Hamburger is even able to demonstrate that some late-19th-century Jewish leaders were as strongly anti-Catholic as the Protestants and were even sympathetic to the need to inculcate Protestant piety in the public schools. He also shows, however, that many Jews—especially members of the Reform movement—had begun, by the last quarter of the century, to embrace the same radical conception of the separation of Church and State that they would exhibit in the 20th century in contesting prayer in American schools and in otherwise seeking to make Christianity a private, rather than a public, creed.
In any event, what Hamburger’s data show beyond cavil is that separation of Church and State, in the form of constitutional doctrine, simply did not exist at the time of the passage of the 14th Amendment, nor for a couple of generations afterward. Protestant nativists invoked “separation” as a means to smother Catholic aspirations, but only fringe groups argued for a completely secular state. To drive this point home, Hamburger forcefully asserts that Justice Black’s reconstruction of Jefferson’s “wall” in Everson was probably as much a result of Black’s membership in the most notorious of American nativist organizations, the Ku Klux Klan, and of his virulent personal anti-Catholicism as it was of his understanding of constitutional law. Hamburger’s account of Black’s duplicity and unscrupulousness as a lawyer and as a justice is one of the most gripping, powerful, and potentially influential parts of his book and should be the subject of many seminars and colloquia in the years to come.
Justice Cardozo, as quoted by Dreisbach, said that “Metaphors in law are to be narrowly watched, for starting as devices to liberate thought, they end often by enslaving it.” Jefferson’s “wall,” which began as a slap at critics and a sop to allies, developed into the proposition that prayer at public-school football games and graduations must be prohibited because it is “psychologically coercive.” Justice Antonin Scalia, dissenting in the middle-school graduation case, lamented that the Supreme Court had departed from the wisdom of the Framers in their conviction that
nothing, absolutely nothing, is so inclined to foster among religious believers of various faiths a toleration—no, an affection—for one another than voluntarily joining in prayer together, to the God whom they all worship and seek. Needless to say, no one should be compelled to do that, but it is a shame to deprive our public culture of the opportunity, and indeed the encouragement, for people to do it voluntarily.
Scalia was right; so are Dreisbach and Hamburger when they maintain that, if the test of correct constitutional interpretation is the historical understanding at the time of the constitutional provision’s adoption, the “wall of separation” crumbles.
The popular appeal of the “wall” metaphor, anti-Catholicism, and nativist American attitudes generally, Hamburger argues, have led the Supreme Court to ignore the historical understanding of the First and 14th Amendments. Illegitimate in its departure from the original understanding, obtuse in its neglect of the human yearning for transcendence, and naive in its failure to recognize the impossibility of splitting our spiritual character away from our temporal one, the doctrine of separation spells trouble for the government that seeks to incorporate it into law.

What do you need for pet shipping to or from Chula Vista, CA?
The animal should be able to stand, sit and turn around in the carrier.
The carrier needs adequate ventilation and a solid bottom in case of an accident. This will help your pet stay calm and not stress out.
The door must close securely.
The crate must have padded walls if you’re transporting puppies or kittens so they feel safe and comfortable.
If boarding a plane, ensure it meets airline pet carrier size requirements.
What determines the cost of pet shipping in Chula Vista, California?
It’s hard to give an exact estimate of the cost of pet transportation because of the variables:
Method of Transport
First, you’ll decide between air or pet ground transportation. Small animals can be checked as carry-on luggage on flights, which is the least expensive option — keep in mind you’ll need to buy a ticket for your pet as well as yourself. Larger breeds must fly in the cargo area, which can cost as much as $1,000 or more depending on the pet shipping airline’s policy.
Save money on Chula Vista pet transport service with the CitizenShipper marketplace. Drivers bid on your transportation listing, lowering costs. Once you receive bids, read reviews and communicate directly with them to find the perfect match.
Timing and Distance

You won’t change bad laws by pretending they aren’t legitimate.
When the federal government rushed the Financial Sector Legislation Amendment (Crisis Resolution Powers and Other Measures) Act 2018 through the Senate on St Valentine’s Day with only eight Senators present in the chamber and no formal division vote, just “on the voices”, Australians were naturally shocked. “How could it be legal?” many asked. Some scrambled to look up the rules of Parliament that defined a quorum—the minimum number of Senators required to make Senate proceedings legal. The question everyone wanted to know was whether this bad law was legitimate? Self-described Constitutional experts contacted the Citizens Party insisting that the way it passed meant the law was indeed illegitimate. They were wrong.
There is a body of Constitutional theory that is premised on the belief that most Australian laws have no legitimacy. A former practitioner, Robert Sudy, who sincerely tried, and failed, to use the theory in court cases, calls it pseudo-legal. This constitutional theory makes specific claims about Australian law, but actually it’s based on earlier American pseudo-legal theories mainly related to the illegitimacy of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), America’s tax office. The illegitimacy of taxes and charges is a common theme throughout the theory.
The common claims of this pseudo-legal theory include:
- Australia is a corporation registered with the US Securities and Investments Commission (SEC)—Queensland is also a SEC-registered corporation, under the name Brigalow Corporation;
- The current Commonwealth Constitution is not legitimate, at least since 1973 when Labor Prime Minister Gough Whitlam changed the Queen’s title to Queen of Australia;
- Local government in Australia is unconstitutional, as Australians voted in two referenda against recognising local government in the Commonwealth Constitution—therefore local council rates and fines are not legitimate and don’t need to be paid;
- Every Australian is actually two people, our natural human selves and a separate legal, or juridical, personality, known as a “strawman”, which is supposedly created by our birth certificate—our strawman is under the authority of the government corporation, but not our natural person, a.k.a. our “freeman”;
- And many, many more (Robert Sudy has a comprehensive list on his website https://freemandelusion.com/).
Not a corporation
The misconception that Australia is a corporation arises from the fact that the Australian government is registered on the United States’ Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It is related to an earlier misconception that all of the Queensland government was under the control of the Brigalow Corporation. The truth is more mundane. The Brigalow Corporation was a corporate entity created by the Queensland government in 1992 for the purpose of overseeing the Brigalow Lands Development Scheme; the chief executive of the Department of Lands was the sole person who comprised the corporation. Likewise, Australia registered a corporation with the US SEC for the sole purpose of being able to sell Australian government securities in US markets; all foreign governments which sell bonds and other securities in the US markets are required to register. Australia registered with the SEC in 2008 when the Rudd government guaranteed the foreign borrowings of Australia’s banks, which required deeds of guarantee that could be accepted in US markets.
Queen of Australia
In 1973 the Whitlam Labor government passed the Royal Style and Titles Act 1973 to update the Queen’s title to “Queen of Australia”, and to remove the title “Defender of the Faith” as there is no established church in Australia. For all intents and purposes these were symbolic changes, not material, and didn’t require a referendum. Multiple subsequent court cases in which parties have argued these amendments made the Constitution invalid have rejected the argument.
Local government constitutionality
The belief that local government in Australia is unconstitutional is a misunderstanding of the consequences of two failed referenda in 1974 and 1988 that sought to recognise local government in the Commonwealth Constitution. Because the Australian people voted down the proposal both times, pseudo-legal theory has concluded that local government is therefore unconstitutional. For that belief, it follows that Australians are not obliged to pay council rates or parking fines. No such luck. The Commonwealth Constitution defines the powers of the federal government; any power not specified as a Commonwealth power is a power of the states. As local government comes under the authority of state governments, the two failed referenda simply meant that local councils remained under state authority.
The strawman/freeman belief is purely an invention, or as Sudy calls it, a delusion. The claim is each person is actually two personalities, a natural personality and a legal personality. The legal personality is created by our birth certificate, which registers us as assets of the government corporation registered with the SEC. Official documents refer to our legal personality, a.k.a. our strawman, by printing our names in all-capital letters. Our natural, birth personality however is our freeman, which we can claim by not writing our name in all-capital letters. There are too many misconceptions in this belief to refute one by one; suffice to say that none of this pseudo-legal theory has held up under proper court scrutiny. For instance, a birth certificate doesn’t change legal status—if a baby is murdered before it has a birth certificate, it is still murder under the law.
Many Australians are attracted to this pseudo-legal theory because it offers an explanation, and seemingly a solution, to bad laws. Australia has many bad laws, especially the laws that have subjugated Australians to an expanding police-state apparatus, while elevating the power of corporations above governments. These laws are rightly called fascist; in fascist Italy, Mussolini said fascism could also be called corporatism, or the corporate state. Australia is increasingly a corporate state, but the bad laws that have brought this about are real laws. We won’t change them by pretending they aren’t legitimate, or that we aren’t bound by them; we’ll only change them by overturning or stopping them through the Parliamentary process.

UC Santa Cruz astronomers have detected what may be the most distant galaxy ever found by scientists. This galaxy is the closest in age to the Big Bang and helps astronomers understand how the universe grew into the solar system we know today.
“[These galaxies] are actually so far away that the light has taken most of the life of the universe to reach us,” said Garth Illingworth, professor of astronomy and astrophysics. “We’re looking back through most of the life of the universe—we’re looking back through 13.2 billion [light-]years.”
Looking this far into space requires a powerful tool: the Hubble Space Telescope. The telescope orbits around Earth, taking far-reaching pictures of the universe.
Scientists used this telescope to obtain the biggest picture of the universe ever taken. The infrared image was then combined with the deepest optical image of the universe, which created a vast visual reaching far into outer space.
The discovery of this galaxy allows astronomers to make data-driven statements about the universe’s early growth. Looking at the star formation in galaxies such as this enables astronomers to assess how rapidly or slowly the universe was forming during its youth.
This image is provided by a 500-pound camera, Illingworth said. The astronomers that captured the image looked at one spot on the sky for 87 hours.
“[In] the photograph, because it’s so far away, the galaxy image is so small … This object is about 2,000 times smaller than [your pinky finger],” said UCSC astronomy professor Raja Guha Thakurta.
The discovery of this galaxy pushed Hubble to its limits. So the recent breakthrough leans against the boundaries of technology.
Hubble’s new camera is responsible for its recent reach into the previously unseen depths of the universe.
“It’s just like when you go and buy a digital camera now,” Illingworth said. “It’s way more sophisticated.”
UCSC astronomer Rychard Bouwens credits Hubble with much of the success.
“These instruments really allowed us to do this,” he said. “Looking back through all of cosmic time is not so easy, so you’re going to need a very good camera.”
The galaxy candidate formed 200 to 300 million years after the Big Bang, a time when the universe was only 4 percent of its current age. Being able to view this galaxy is like finding a picture of outer space as a toddler, an unprecedented addition to the universe’s photo album.
Deeper discovery into the universe will have to wait for The James Webb Space Telescope, scheduled for launch in 2014.
“It always inspires wonder in your mind that we can use this instrument to go back to the beginning of time,” Bouwens said. “To be on the cutting edge, you just feel like you’re exploring for the rest of humanity and reporting back what you can see.” | <urn:uuid:f1696c5d-837e-43a2-b93d-a87a606d7a5c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://cityonahillpress.com/2011/02/10/ucsc-astronomers-look-back-through-time/ | 2023-09-27T10:51:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.924941 | 633 |
A couch is pushed against the wall, amplifiers are hooked up and a guitarist plugs in. This is the scene of a house with rugged walls that will soon rattle with reverb and hum with hushed voices. The beating epicenter coming from the Santa Cruz home goes unchecked until local law enforcement launches into action.
Despite a recent amendment, the Santa Cruz noise ordinance is forcing independent musicians to channel their creative forces into constructing a network of noncommercial venues and homes, where Do-It-Yourself (D.I.Y.) can flourish without being encumbered by commercial ties or municipal restrictions.
“My ultimate goal is to have a sustained community of people who put on shows, people who play shows and people who go to shows in a local setting that can operate within the confines of the Do-It-Yourself [music scene],” said Eli, a member of a Santa Cruz household that puts on at least one D.I.Y. show a week. He asked his full name and address to not be listed here for privacy reasons.
D.I.Y. shows have been a staple in underground music culture since punk rock hit the airwaves in the ‘70s. D.I.Y. creates an alternative to consumer trends by independently recording, manufacturing albums and merchandise, often booking tours in residential or noncommercial venues.
A breaker to the local D.I.Y. circuit is the Santa Cruz sound ordinance #9.36.010, legislation passed in 1980 which requires all “offensive noise” to cease from 10:00 p.m. until 8 a.m. the following morning. The ordinance allows the Santa Cruz Police Department to cite noncommercial venues for noise violations, often a step toward their complete shut down.
“Essentially you can’t have any noise that would disturb other people within 100 feet of your residence,” said Officer John Bush, a 15 year veteran of the Santa Cruz Police Department. “There’s also a separate ordinance for [issuing citations for] offensive noise during the day, depending if you’re doing constructive noise that’s offensive to somebody… or if somebody’s got a loud band and they’re playing next door in the middle of the day.”
Last October, a federal judge threw out a portion of the ordinance that was ruled to be too vague “to pass constitutional muster.” Although this narrowed the prohibition from “all offensive noise” to all unreasonably disturbing and physically annoying noises, neighbors can still end a house show with a phone call to the authorities.
“That’s the biggest thing we have to fight against, ducking around the sound ordinance. Creativity through censorship, that’s all it is,” said local D.I.Y. show promoter Nick Bane and owner of Santa Cruz production company BaneShows, which has garnered a huge following in Santa Cruz’s D.I.Y. scene.
Because of the enforced ordinance, the life expectancy for noncommercial venues is short, and the D.I.Y. circuit thrives in obscurity.
“Some people have houses that are secluded enough that nobody knows a show is going on,” said Mike Connor, a former writer on the Santa Cruz music scene for Metro Santa Cruz. “Others simply cram mattresses over their windows and keep the doors shut.”
For most D.I.Y. acts in Santa Cruz, only a scattering of renovated warehouses and residential venues comprise the framework for supporting DIY shows. Bane said an advantage to these venues is they confer great artistic freedom on bands, along with the ability to reap the rewards of self-promoting and producing.
“There’s no one making money off your back anymore … it’s crazy, I’m booking some of the biggest bands ever, but I’m still going to put them in that spot, where you’re no bigger than the audience, you’re going to be playing with the audience,” Bane said.
However, the size of the audience often presents more of a problem than a band’s inflated ego. City council member Don Lane said the city worries about larger unlicensed venues going unchecked, especially in light of recent events like the nightclub fire in Santa Maria, Brazil on Jan. 27, which killed over 230 people.
“I know that’s not common,” Lane said. “But if you’re going to have a big crowd in a warehouse, do you have a fire safety system or good exits? The city will pay more attention to those [unlicensed venues] and they won’t just let that go casually.”
Within the last decade, larger venues have increasingly dominated the local music scene by following city guidelines which often come at high cost, including proper sound insulation and safety measures to accommodate large crowds. Although the D.I.Y. scene has thrived in Santa Cruz for as long as Connor can remember, a decade ago many Santa Cruz locals were still looking to commercial music venues like the Attic and the Blue Lagoon for live, independent music. However, Lane said if a building isn’t containing its sound, local law enforcement has probable cause to investigate whether or not these regulations are being met.
“Whether it’s a very innovative musician or an old-fashioned marching band, if they’re too loud, then they’re too loud, and the city has to enforce that equally,” Lane said.
As a result, many local, smaller venues are unable to afford staying in Santa Cruz’s commercial districts. The remaining behemoths like the Catalyst and the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium have a greater financial incentive to book big bands with established followings in the community.
“In this system, lesser-known bands – and sometimes entire genres of music – are left in the lurch,” Connor said.
With the disappearance of Santa Cruz’s formerly diverse collection of performance spaces, D.I.Y. promoters like Bane have to often work with the few large licensed venues left unaffected by the ordinance to avoid fines.
“There were like, fifteen venues in Santa Cruz, all down Pacific Avenue … I grew up in that, but then all the venues started shutting down, you know, sound ordinance,” Bane said.” It sucks, because every light post in town had a flyer on it. That’s how you knew about shows. Imagine how beautiful this town was!”
Despite an overbearing municipal government, D.I.Y. musicians and promoters band together in a network of house venues and practice spaces to support the independent music community. Although seasoned D.I.Y.ers welcome the curious participant, they still endeavor to keep their scene under wraps. Flyers are selectively posted in punk-friendly spaces like SubRosa, a local Anarchist community space, and many shows are promoted exclusively through word of mouth. This cautionary approach prevents overcrowding at the houses, a factor that show organizers like Eli take into account to avoid citation.
Although many of the touring bands draw crowds of up to 80 people into Eli’s living room, many D.I.Y. bands typically lose money on tours and don’t receive the financial support necessary in traveling long distances. D.I.Y. promoters keep these bands afloat by not only providing a spot on their playbills, but a bed and a warm meal as well.
“You get to be a big fan of these really cool, if not local, smaller bands from other states, like this band [Good Luck] is from Indiana,” Eli said. He remembers seeing Good Luck in San Jose at a venue called House of the Dead Rat and being the only person there.
“I’ve seen bands that have come from New York and no one’s come to see them… but those are fun in their own way, like, these people came from far away to play a show for my housemates,” Eli said. “We’ll contribute to them even if no one comes. Even just with a place to stay, and dinner and stuff.”
D.I.Y. promoters and musicians like Bane and Eli organize and play shows with the hope of sharing music with a larger audience, regardless of monetary gain or loss. Bands go on tour, Eli said, with the intention to produce new, better material on a D.I.Y. platform, both in-house and online.
“Put your record online [on a D.I.Y. platform like Bandcamp] for free,” Eli said. “If someone sees a flyer for a show here, or ends up at a show here, and they see a band they like, 99% of the time they can go and find the album online.”
Guided by D.I.Y. principles, commercial success does not have to be the be-all end-all to a band’s creative authenticity. Although they have frequented the Catalyst since their rise to fame, Bay Area conscious-rap duo Zion I is no stranger to the thriving underground of local independent music, having gotten their start rapping and producing in local ciphers in the early 90’s. To strengthen the autonomy of independent music, they still uphold their original D.I.Y. tenets by producing their own merchandise and albums on their own label.
“We maintain and sustain the idea that you can be who you are, do it independently, and successfully doing what you love to do. You don’t have to cave in to commercial interests or pop sensibility,” said MC Zumbi of Zion I.
Zumbi holds that independent music is best served following the canon of D.I.Y. “You have to be active, dropping music, giving out free stuff, interacting with your fans directly.”
When asked about Zion I’s musical evolution into commercial success, he said, “It’s still the same thing, it’s always been the same music. It brings people together, it makes people feel things emotionally, and it tells a story of being a human being.” | <urn:uuid:743d38cb-4c5f-48ac-880e-110868d8f90f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://cityonahillpress.com/2013/01/31/notes-from-the-underground/ | 2023-09-27T11:20:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.959475 | 2,158 |
Denis offers 14 years of fitness leadership experience to Peloton. Denis was born in Florida, raised in Tennessee, educated in Tennessee, entrenched in southern California, and heat-tested in Texas. Denis will have you moving, grooving, and wondering what comes next because of his extensive athletic background, which includes everything from collegiate football to aerial acrobatics. His musical selection is just as impressive. Denis is an accomplished surfer and yoga instructor, in addition to being an accomplished cyclist.
Denis decided in 2005 to pursue a career as a fitness teacher. The first move he took toward a career in the professional fitness business was to become an instructor at Soulcycle NYC in Texas.
On the other hand, the year 2017 marked the beginning of his life transformation. He became well known as a yoga instructor and ran rides with a theme.
Denis Morton and His Career with Peloton
In the interview with Peloton, he mentions that when he was 22 years old, yoga presented him with something that was both difficult and enjoyable. As a result, he wanted to get better at it. In addition, he says, “During that time, I committed myself fully to my profession and performed yoga every day. My interest in yoga eventually led me to take up cycling, and by that time, I was already dedicated to a physically active lifestyle and seeking artistic outlets.
In my opinion, I think reclaiming one’s athleticism can be accomplished pretty well on the Peloton platform. You know, as we get older, we participate in a variety of organized sports in which we do things like climb trees, row boats, and run in circles. However, as we get older and start to place more emphasis on things like school, work, and responsibility, we tend to de-emphasize the importance of physical activity. Therefore, I like to assume that each new day is a fresh chance to recapture your former level of physical fitness.”
How to Describe the Riding Style of Denis Morton at Peloton?
When you hop on the Peloton cycle for a class taught by Denis, you can rest assured that the music will perfectly suit the workout. Also, we know that Denis will provide you with some insightful and useful life lessons. Denis will offer advice as you make the selections, but ultimately the choices will be yours.
A Denis Morton class is frequently less about the workout and more about the mental refreshment, the conscious reboot that you may need to awaken yourselves to a better day and a better version of yourself. Of course, this is true for a lot of people, but it’s not always the case.
You have the choice to remain where you are or to improve; the choice is yours to make!” Because of his energizing demeanor and ability to inspire others, he has many devoted followers like many other charismatic Peloton instructors.
Why Does Denis Recommend Combining Bike and Yoga Together?
If you let them to, he claims, even minor adjustments may have significant effects on your life. He says, “Give yourself a few minutes break from your responsibilities and watch what occurs.” Denis also observes that doing yoga may give members more mobility, enhancing their ability for bike sessions and boosting their performance on the treadmill. Because we frequently fail to notice the details that may help us achieve better metrics while riding a bike or treadmill. Yoga has the potential to become a hidden advantage and is a very helpful component of any workout routine.
In a manner analogous to how he teaches spinning, he emphasizes that he will demand but never give up on supporting. Denis believes his coaching philosophy is empowering people and enabling them to feel stronger.”
Denisa, hot Peloton instructor, intends to facilitate interaction in his next yoga classes using the medium of music. Because he feels that there is a different kind of narrative with music in yoga than with cycling, a score that you don’t notice but feel–that is how he wants to utilize music in my lessons. He also believes that cycling has a different sort of storytelling with music.

Just where the multiple-infection carrying bacteria known as Klebsiella pneumoniae comes from has been a mystery to scientists for some time now. However, scientists at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TIGR) in Flagstaff, Arizona have recently found the source of Klebsiella pneumoniae–a bacteria that can cause some of the most common hospital infections in the medical field. According to a new paper, researchers believe the increasingly resilient pathogen to come from an unlikely source: store-bought meat.
SYMPTOMS OF KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE
According to the Center for Disease Control , Klebsiella is a type of bacteria that can cause multiple types of common hospital infections. Known to take root in the guts of unwary patients, Klebsiella is known to bring about pneumonia, bloodstream infections, surgical site infections, and meningitis. This strain of bacteria has been noted by medical professionals as becoming more and more resilient to antibiotics, leading the CDC to rank Klebsiella as an “urgent health threat–” a title that suggests immediate attention and awareness from patients and healthcare professionals worldwide.
HOW IT SPREADS
Klebsiella is the cause of some of the most common hospital-acquired infections, known to spread among hospital patients who carry the bacteria in their lower intestines, before it escapes their guts in diarrhea, typically brought about as a result of antibiotic use. This bacteria can spread wildly in a hospital setting, as unwashed hands can leave particles on another’s clothes or skin, as well as on hospital walls or healthcare equipment. The CDC states that this particular bacteria is not spread through the air, and is thus unable to be transmitted simply by breathing it in. However, according to recent studies by TIGR, the consumption of processed and store-bought meat may be a large source for the introduction of the bacteria to the intestines of patients. Lance Price , PhD, director of the TGen North’s Center for Microbiomics and senior author of the study, recently stated: “In this case, we see pretty compelling evidence that food can serve as a source of exposure to Klebsiella, one of the most important opportunistic pathogens in the United States.”
WHY IT’S IMPORTANT
The researchers in Flagstaff, Arizona conducted a study involving the testing of supermarket-meat–508 packages of turkey, chicken, and pork–as well as thousands of blood and urine samples taken from hospital patients for the pathogen. The results of the study show Klebsiella to be present in both store-bought meat as well as human samples–and what’s more, they appear to be nearly identical on a molecular level. This indicates that the pathogen’s origin may be traced back to the farms at which hospital patients buy their meat from. Researchers speculate that this may be the reason for the bacteria’s strange resilience against antibiotics, as the meat produced on such farms are subject to routine antibiotic treatments, where the strain is able to build a tolerance, before spreading to hospital settings. This is important, as up until recently, it was accepted that the bacteria’s tolerance was due to routine medical exposure in hospitals. Price believes this new finding to be “Just more evidence that antibiotic use in food animals poses a significant threat to public health.”
The CDC urges anyone who may feel they have Klebsiella pneumoniae or any of its common hospital infections contact a healthcare professional immediately. | <urn:uuid:9e72ce33-9ac2-45d9-a909-7e9685ac9f7a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://clapway.com/2015/07/25/new-study-meat-the-source-of-common-hospital-infections678/ | 2023-09-27T11:38:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.957061 | 738 |
How to Find an Obituary on Someone Who Died in Florida
29 SEP 2017
Obituaries are one of the final tributes to a person who has died, summarizing the life of someone by listing details about education, career, organization affiliations, religious faith and surviving family members. Obituaries typically appear in newspapers, both in print and online. If you are tracking down an obituary for someone who died in Florida, there are a few different resources to aid in your search.
Contact the local newspaper. If you know the town in Florida where the person who died resided, contact the local newspaper for that community. Ask for the obituaries department, and provide the date of death or approximate date. You also can research the newspaper's online edition for obituaries. If you are uncertain of when the person died, search the online archives. For a listing of Florida newspapers, go to the Florida Press Association website (flpress.com) and click on the link for membership to find the descendent's hometown newspaper.
Check with the funeral home. The Florida funeral home responsible for the deceased individual's final arrangements will have a copy of the obituary on file. In addition, you can search the funeral home's website, as many have obituaries available online. Space often is provided on the funeral home website for memorial comments and condolences to the surviving family members. If you do not know the name of the funeral home, check with the Chamber of Commerce in the Florida community this person resided for a list of funeral homes in the area.
Search memorial websites. Check online with memorial websites such as Legacy.com to see if the obituary for the person who died in Florida has been posted. From the home page, go to the search area and enter the last name of the person who died. You can also narrow the search by including the first name. If an obituary is available, you will see the person's name on the list. Click to read it. You also will have an opportunity to post a message to the family.
Search genealogy sites. If the Florida obituary you are seeking is from many years ago, genealogy research sites are a good resource. Check obituaries in historical Florida newspapers by going to sites such as Ancestor Hunt. You also can search the person's family tree on Ancestry.com to find out if a family member has posted the obituary. In addition, Ancestry.com also offers an obituary search page.
Search the UF library database. The University of Florida Library keeps records of all Florida newspapers. Many editions can be viewed online, and others are accessible in the library. Go to the library's website (see resources) to view the Florida Digital Newspaper Library. | <urn:uuid:9f7b5795-7c2d-4a5e-92ca-dca1d2cec7f7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://classroom.synonym.com/how-to-find-an-obituary-on-someone-who-died-in-florida-12083676.html | 2023-09-27T12:51:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.954535 | 573 |

Choose the Best Social Trading Platform
When it comes to choosing the best social trading platform for your needs, it’s important to look beyond the price. If you’re considering joining one of these services, it’s important to make sure that it follows strict regulations. These regulations ensure that your social trading platform is legitimate and up-to-date. Below are a few of the most important factors to consider before deciding on one. Read on for more information. And don’t forget to share your experiences with other investors.
There are many popular social trading platforms, but you should only choose the one that suits your style the best. If you’re a beginner, you should consider NAGA, which offers unlimited trading and a proprietary algorithm that helps you trade without commissions. It also has a section where you can view other users’ profitability and their trading history. This makes it ideal for newcomers. But it’s also worth noting that the NAGA Exchange’s spreads are fixed.
Other aspects of the best social trading platform to consider include the number of traders who copy the signals. It’s important to consider how much money a particular trader is willing to risk to achieve a high level of success. In addition to that, it’s important to consider whether the trading signals are of good quality. The larger the social trading platform, the better the selection. And it’s also worth considering the risk profile of other traders, if any.
Another thing to look for in a social trading platform is a community. Many social trading platforms have communities where investors share their trades and strategies. This allows you to gain valuable experience by learning from others’ mistakes. You can also copy successful traders’ trades, which can be a great way to become a passive investor. Ultimately, social trading platforms allow you to copy what other investors are doing to become a profitable trader. | <urn:uuid:66cc30eb-fe54-4e63-9ca9-c239bce25345> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://classynewspaper.com/simplefx-review-how-to-trade-with-the-best-broker/ | 2023-09-27T12:56:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.942886 | 691 |

There is a good reason that processes of carbon fiber manufacturing are becoming more popular than ever in the field of manufacturing all across the entire country of the United States, as well as in many other places around the world. From creating lightweight structures to creating structures that withstand the elements and the test of time, carbon fiber manufacturing has many clear and marked benefits that can clearly be seen in the use of carbon fiber manufacturing as it is used and utilized today.
But why use carbon fiber manufacturing over the process of manufacturing with other types of tools and materials? There is a good reason for this, and it is that structural carbon fiber and carbon fiber engineering has been found to be, through carbon fiber prototypes and carbon fiber prototyping, stronger than the vast majority of the other materials that are typically used for the purposes of manufacturing and building in the country of the United States as well as in many other places and locations all throughout the entirety of the world on top of this. In fact, carbon fiber manufacturing produces things that are far stronger even than steel. Data even shows that compositions of carbon fiber are about ten times stronger than the same composition made out of steel.
And carbon fiber does not just have the benefit of being immensely strong, though this is, of course, a hugely important factor. No, carbon fiber is lightweight too – it’s estimated to be only about half of the weight of the same amount of steel – which makes it ideal for a number of various applications in which lightweight structures made from carbon fiber and through the process of carbon fiber manufacturing are the true ideal. And as the typical carbon fiber is only about the width of spider silk (measuring in at, on average, five to ten microns in width alone), it is hugely able to be molded to the particular application of the carbon fiber manufacturing that is currently in process.
From the special carbon fiber project to the day to day carbon fiber manufacturing, there are many true life application for the use of carbon fiber in the world of manufacturing in the United States, and all of them combined have lead to great success for the use of carbon fiber in today’s modern world. From using it for the purposes of building to the purposes of creating various products to be used in day to day life, there are many times when carbon fiber manufacturing has become the standard for how we create things here in the United States. In fact, carbon fiber manufacturing has become so successful and so crucial to the general process of manufacturing here in the United States (as well as an essential part of the process of manufacturing in many other places of the world as well) that we have now reached as much as billions of dollars of market value for carbon fiber manufacturing alone. By the time that we reach the year of 2023, now less than five full years away from the current date, that number is expected to jump to a market worth of as much as thirty eight billion dollars in total. And in the years that pass after that, the number of the market worth of carbon fiber manufacturing is only anticipated to grow and grow as carbon fiber manufacturing is put into more practical uses in the country of the United States as well as a wide number of other places all throughout the entirety of the world as well.
Carbon fiber is a material that has become incredibly important not only in the United States, but around the globe as well, popular on a global scale. Carbon fiber manufacturing has many purposes, from making products to constructing buildings. The applications are truly endless, as the material of carbon fiber is intensely strong – but incredibly lightweight at the same time. Carbon fiber manufacturing has become very important in the U.S. | <urn:uuid:75762bb9-9004-476b-9ead-daef46235b13> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://clevelandinternships.net/2018/07/the-importance-of-carbon-fiber-manufacturing-in-the-united-states-and-around-the-world/ | 2023-09-27T12:05:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.973583 | 735 |
Navigating child custody agreements or orders for the Allocation of Parental Responsibilities (APR) in Colorado Springs can be daunting. Ensuring the best interests of your child is crucial during these child custody decisions. Although child custody proceedings might present challenges, remember you don’t have to face them alone. The Law Offices of Clifton Black, PC, your trusted Colorado Springs family law attorneys, stand ready to guide you toward a bright future for your child.
Understanding Child Custody Laws in Colorado Springs
In the state of Colorado, what many commonly refer to as “child custody” is called APR (Allocation of Parental Responsibilities). This involves not just parenting time, but also the decision-making rights both parents have over various aspects of their child’s life, like healthcare and education.
Referencing § 14-10-123 et seq. of the Colorado Revised Statutes, Colorado Springs courts have several key points to consider:
- Terminology: While many states use the term “joint custody,” Colorado does not. Instead, we use the term “decision-making responsibility.” The state does not have a preference for how this responsibility is allocated, so long as the allocation is in the child’s best interest.
- Joint Custody: The courts in Colorado Springs often lean towards what would be called “joint custody” in other jurisdictions. However, they are also open to the concept of sole custody in particular situations, such as instances of domestic violence or other dangerous circumstances for the child.
- Child’s Wishes: One of the factors that the courts consider is the wishes of the child. If the child is considered mature enough to have preferences about the parenting time schedule, their wishes can influence the court’s decision.
- Grandparent Visitation: Another notable aspect of Colorado’s child custody laws is the recognition of grandparent visitation rights.
Ultimately, the court and the APR process aim to arrive at a Parenting Plan. This comprehensive document outlines the roles and responsibilities of each parent, ensuring the best interests of the child are first and foremost.
Note: It’s important to know that state laws can change over time, whether through legislative decisions, higher court rulings, or other methods. For the most up-to-date and specific advice on child custody laws in Colorado Springs, consulting with one of our child custody attorneys is highly recommended.

Understanding the Child’s Best Interests Standard
In Colorado Springs, the courts utilize the “best interests of the child” standard in all family law matters involving children. While parents may have their own preferences regarding custody distribution, the court’s primary focus is the child’s welfare and overall well-being.
This legal principle is not just about the child’s physical safety, but extends to their overall happiness, emotional stability, and developmental needs. When assessing the best interests, courts may evaluate various factors, some of which include:
- Child’s Health: The physical, emotional, and mental health of the child.
- Parental Capability: Each parent’s ability to cater to the child’s necessities, including a safe home environment, proper nutrition, clothing, and medical care.
- Family Bonds: The quality of the child’s relationship with each parent, siblings, and extended family member.
- Stability: The capacity of each parent to offer a consistent, nurturing environment.
- Developmental Factors: Considering the child’s age, growth needs, and potential adjustment challenges.
- Child’s Preferences: Courts consider the child’s wishes, weighed against their age and maturity level.
- Safety Concerns: Any history of domestic violence, substance misuse, or criminal activity by a parent.
- Parental Collaboration: The capability of each parent to work with the other parent towards the child’s best interest.
It’s crucial to understand that the courts don’t prioritize one factor over another. Instead, they evaluate these factors and balance them to determine the most beneficial outcome for the child.

The European project SignON aims at designing a user-oriented and community-driven platform for communication among deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing individuals in both sign language and spoken languages (i.e. English, Dutch, Spanish, and Irish). Inclusion, easy access to translation services and the use of state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI) are the key aspects of the platform design. Users can communicate to the system with text, speech, and sign language through video, while the system can respond using, for instance, (translated) output, subtitles, translated audio via speech synthesis, and via a 3D avatar.
In this framework, the design of a flexible, user-friendly component for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is a challenge, due to the constraints imposed by the platform, in terms of usability and the use of system-external services. The project addresses the current state-of-the-art and outstanding questions for language technology in Western Europe.
Our presentation will discuss the conceptual choices underlying the design, operation, and integration of the ASR component. ASR will convert received audio (oral messages) into its textual form in the source language using state-of-the-art ASR technology, which will be tuned to the use cases at hand and the speech articulated by the speaker (including an atypical speech from deaf speakers and the speakers with cochlear implants). The ASR component (i) addresses privacy challenges by secure interaction of speech data, (ii) fits the communicative setting by adapting communication channel characteristics, and (iii) is readily extensible to new languages and data. We will discuss the data selection procedure for building the acoustic models, lexicons, and language models for the ASR component. One of the languages we deal with is also Irish. Since this is an under-resourced language, a transfer-learning approach is suggested and acoustic models will be borrowed from other languages, whereas the language model will be compiled from existing texts.
We will briefly outline how the ASR component runs in the cloud on an external server as a dedicated web service, besides the message passing between the SignOn client and this ASR webservice. This is done via a secure and extensible restful Application Programming Interface (API). For each audio file as input, the ASR will produce output that will be the input for Natural Language Processing (NLP). In particular, the output contains text words, backchannel information, segmentation details, and confidence measures of each word. | <urn:uuid:ba755df2-5d43-472a-bd1f-3e8a4ce06160> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://clin2022.uvt.nl/design-principles-of-an-automatic-speech-recognition-functionality-in-a-user-centric-signed-and-spoken-language-translation-system/ | 2023-09-27T12:18:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.88901 | 548 |

The Reformation was led by men like Luther, Calvin and Zwingli who revolutionised their world and ours. But there were also many remarkable women who defied social biases and traditions with a dauntless commitment to God’s Word.
These are the true stories of eight of these women: follow Katharina von Bora as she escapes from a convent to start a revolutionary new life; flee Paris with Charlotte Duplessis de Mornay, who wrote an eyewitness account of the gruesome St Bartholomew’s Day massacre; and learn about the new faith with Queen Katherine Parr, the only one of Henry VIII’s wives to survive him.
These women were heads of state, writers, activists, poets and scholars but they were also very human, with their own loves, fears, heartbreaks and temptations. When we are called to stand for our faith, we can be inspired by their legacy. | <urn:uuid:ba21eee7-b865-4893-9aa6-e3ffdd2c3cc2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://clovisabc.com/products/sisters-in-arms-courageous-women-of-the-reformation | 2023-09-27T11:08:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.971999 | 190 |

2. The big one: Lucas just threw one of his little trucks at my laptop's screen and now there are dings, cracks, and dark and light spots in the display. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I tried to take a screenshot of the damage so I could share it with you, but it didn't show up well.

Inside: Use the bubble gum kindness activity to teach sel curriculum in a fun, hands-on way.
One of the most fun things to do when I was a kid was to search around for a nickel or a quarter to put in the gumball machines at stores and restaurants. We always anticipated what color would fall down into our hands.
And while it never tasted as good as the watermelon Hubba Bubba my grandma would buy for me at the grocery store, it was always a treat to chew bubble gum as a kid.
Kids love bubble gum because it is usually saved as a treat. And even now that my kids are older, they still think of gum as a treat.
So this Bubble Gum Kindness Activity is a perfect year-round social emotional game perfect for centers
Why Social Emotional Learning is Important
Social Emotional Learning is a crucial part of any classroom’s lesson plans.
Related: Why We Should Teach SEL
It teaches our students problem solving skills, critical thinking skills and positive relationship skills. It builds up their Emotional Intelligence, helps bully-proof them, and research has shown that it improves their academic success.
Related: How Teachers Can Prevent Bullying
But to make social emotional learning and character education effective, we have to make it consistent, set clear expectations from our students, intentionally teach them the skills they need to be kind, and make it fun.
What’s Included in the Kindness Bubble Gum Kind or Sort Activity:
- 24 gumballs with kindness or unkindness clipart in color
- 24 gumballs with kindness or unkindness clipart in black and white
- Kind and Unkind sorting gumball machines in color and black and white
- Kindness worksheet to help kids show what they know and determine what is kind and what is not kind in color and black and white
- 2 writing sheets: 1 for early writers/prewriters and 1 for writers.
How to Use the Kindness Bubble Gum Activity
1. Purchase and print and laminate the gumball cards and the Kind or Not Kind Gumball Machines. If you print them in black and white, you can color in the cards first.
Offer kids skin color crayons so the clipart has diverse kiddos.
2. Cut apart the cards
3. Go over the pictures on the cards to ensure children understand what the picture depicts. You can use these as discussion starters before or after the activity.
4. The students will sort the cards by kind actions or unkind actions by placing the cards near the correct gumball machine.
They can work in small groups in centers, independently, or as a whole group with a pocket chart.
5. To follow up the activity, students can complete the worksheet to show their understanding.
6. To connect to writing and language arts studies, draw a picture/write how they will choose to be kind this season. Prewriters can dictate their answers and then draw a picture.

We do have Expert-as-a-service when you want to make your journey from to hyper-scalers, like Amazon, Microsoft & Google , we would take you through a smooth transition.
Our experts provides you Architectural consultancy for the right type of solution and right approach for your application.
Using this knowledge, organizations can outline a plan (which should be considered subject to change as they progress through their migration and learn) on how they’ll approach migrating each of the applications in their portfolio and in what order.
According to brightrozee.com the complexity of migrating existing applications varies, depending on the architecture and existing licensing arrangements. If I think about the universe of applications to migrate on a spectrum of complexity, I’d put a virtualized, service-oriented architecture on the low-complexity end of the spectrum, and a monolithic mainframe at the high-complexity end of the spectrum on the cloud, since there are different services for this. It’s important to understand throughput vs latency when discussing network speed for your business as well.
I suggest starting with something on the low-complexity end of the spectrum for the obvious reason that it will be easier to complete — which will give you some immediate positive reinforcement or “quick wins” as you learn. | <urn:uuid:bab550b2-9de1-4137-a519-c24e0dda230a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://coglyst.com/consulting/ | 2023-09-27T12:21:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.937296 | 269 |

Did you know that some 1979 quarters are worth more than their face value of 25 cents?
Yes! Some 1979 Washington quarters are worth hundreds and even thousands of dollars.
So, how can you tell a rare and valuable 1979 quarter that’s worth the big bucks versus one that’s safe to spend at the vending machine?
In this article, I’m going to show you exactly what to look for on your 1979 quarters.
Fun Facts About 1979 Quarters
First, a few fun facts that you should know about 1979 quarters…
What is the design on a 1979 quarter?
The 1979 quarter carries a design by John Flanagan, whose Washington quarter debuted in 1932.
The portrait of George Washington on the obverse (“heads side”) of the coin was modeled after a late-18th-century bust by Jean-Antoine Houdon depicting the Revolutionary War general and first United States president.
The reverse, or “tails side” of the coin, features a heraldic eagle, its wings spread from left to right across most of the coin’s face.
How much does a 1979 quarter weigh?
Washington quarters from 1979 are made of copper-nickel clad — which means there is a nickel layer and a copper layer.
All 1979 quarters weigh 5.67 grams.
Are 1979 silver quarters worth looking for?
You can rest assured that there were no 1979 silver quarters officially issued by the U.S. Mint.
Nor have any such 1979 silver quarter errors come to light as of this writing.
There’s always the chance that a 1979 silver quarter may have been secretly struck by placing an old silver quarter blank in the presses at that time — but, none are known to exist at this time.
Where is the mintmark on a 1979 quarter?
The mintmark indicates which U.S. Mint facility made the coin. For example, a “D” means that it was made at the Denver Mint, and an “S” means that it was made at the San Francisco Mint.
Any 1979 quarters with the mintmark will have the mint letter stamp on the right side of the obverse — just behind the bow in Washington’s ponytail.
However, not all 1979 quarters have a mintmark. A 1979 quarter with no mintmark simply means that coin was struck at the Philadelphia Mint.
Are 1979 quarters rare?
Since so many U.S. quarters were made in 1979, in the absolute sense 1979 quarters are common.
But, there are some rare and valuable error quarters from 1979! (Read on to see which ones are worth lots of money.)
All 1979 Quarter Values
Wondering how much a 1979 quarter is worth?
Most of the 1979 quarters that you will find in pocket change are worth face value — because they’re common and well-worn.
However, some 1979 quarters are worth much more than face value!
Let’s look at all of the 1979 quarter values now…
1979 Quarter Value (No Mintmark)
The Philadelphia Mint struck 515,708,000 quarters with no mintmark in 1979. That’s over a half billion — or a lot of quarters!
Since 1979 quarters with no mintmark are so common, any that you find in spare change showing evidence of wear from circulation are worth face value — or 25 cents.
However, uncirculated specimens that appear as new as the day they were struck are worth $1 to $3 apiece.
The most valuable 1979 quarter with no mintmark was graded MS68 by Numismatic Guaranty Company. It sold in 2022 for a whopping $1,440!
1979-D Quarter Value
The Denver Mint struck 489,789,780 quarters with the “D” mint mark in 1979.
Since the 1979-D quarters are common, they are generally worth their face value of 25 cents — if worn.
Uncirculated examples are worth notably more — $1 to $3, on average.
The most valuable 1979-D quarter was graded MS67 by Professional Coin Grading Service and sold for an incredible $1,078 in 2014.
1979-S Quarter Value
All 1979-S quarters were struck just for coin collectors. They’re called proof quarters.
Wait, what’s a proof quarter? And why is it so difficult to find a 1979-S quarter? Is it rare? Is it worth a lot of money?
Proof quarters were struck using polished blanks that were intentionally struck at least twice on high-tonnage presses with specially prepared dies — to ensure that even the most minute details vividly appear on the coins.
All 1979-S quarters were packaged in 1979 proof sets, which the United States Mint directly sold to coin collectors. Therefore, they were never officially released into circulation.
TIP: It’s not impossible to find a 1979-S quarter in your pocket change — because some of these coins were broken out of their proof sets and spent as regular money.
The San Francisco Mint struck 3,677,175 of the 1979-S quarters — which is plenty to meet the demand of coin collectors who are wanting to own one.
However, there are two different kinds of 1979-S proof quarters!
1979-S Type 1 Proof Quarter Value
The 1979-S Type 1 proof quarter has a blobby-looking “S” mintmark. This is the more common type of 1979-S quarter.
It is worth about $2 to $5, on average.
The most valuable 1979-S Type 1 quarter sold was graded PR70DCAM by Professional Coin Grading Service and fetched $403 in a 2003 auction.
1979-S Type 2 Proof Quarter Value
The scarcer 1979-S Type 2 quarter shows a more clearly defined “S” mintmark than the Type 1 quarter has.
The 1979-S Type 2 proof quarter was struck later in the year — though exactly how many were struck is unclear. Many coin experts believe that approximately 600,000 to 800,000 were struck, making them scarcer than the 1979-S Type 1 proof quarter but not necessarily rare.
Most 1979-S Type 2 proof quarters sell for $4 to $10.
The most valuable 1979-S Type 2 quarter was graded PR70DCAM by Professional Coin Grading Service and sold for $495 in 2003.
IMPORTANT: Do You Know The Grade Of Your 1979 Quarter?
To determine the true value of your 1979 quarter, you first need to know what condition (or grade) your coin is in.
These are the best coin grading apps that make grading coins SO much easier!
Rare & Valuable 1979 Quarter Errors To Look For
Some of the most valuable 1979 quarters aren’t the “perfect” ones but rather those that have mint mistakes.
The 1979 quarters with errors and varieties are quite valuable — and, yes, highly collectible!
Let’s take a look at some of the most popular 1979 error quarters that you could actually find in your pocket change…
1979 Off-Center Quarter Error
If you find a 1979 quarter that was struck off center — like way off center — hang on to it! Error quarters with a large part of the design missing are worth more money.
While a 1979 quarter that is only a little off center (like 1% or 2%) is pretty common and really not worth saving, those that are about 3% to 5% or more off center are definitely valuable.
A 1979 quarter that is 10% to 20% off center can be worth $25 to $30 or more.
If you find one that’s about 50% off center and still shows a complete date, then you’ve hit the jackpot! Such an error could score you over $200!
1979 No Ridges On Edge Quarter Error
We receive a lot of questions about no ridges on edge quarters. Lots of people are finding U.S. quarters with a smooth edge and want to know what they’re worth. In general, most of the quarters with smooth edges are worth only face value — because the ridges are missing due to edge wear (from use in vending machines and such).
However, there is a kind of smooth edge quarter worth money! This is known as a broadstrike, which is made when a quarter is struck outside of its retaining collar.
You can easily tell a broadsike 1979 quarter from one with smooth edges caused by wear just by looking at the width and thickness of the coin:
- A heavily worn 1979 quarter will still be of its normal diameter of 24.3 millimeters and normal thickness of about 2 millimeters.
- But a broadstrike error coin will often be wider and thinner than normal — because it wasn’t struck in its collar. In the coin-making process, the collar not only helps size the coin correctly upon striking, but it also imparts the edge reeding that quarters are supposed to have.
A 1979 broadstrike quarter error will generally sell for $20 to $30.
1979 Doubled Die Quarter Error
It seems almost everyone wants to know what the 1979 doubled die quarter error is worth.
A doubled die error coin results when it was struck by a die that was accidentally engraved with a doubled image — resulting in a slightly overlapping misalignment of the same design twice.
As it turns out, there really aren’t any drastic 1979 doubled die quarters known to exist at this time.
However, there are some 1979 doubled die quarters with minor doubling that can be worth $10 to $50 — sometimes more.

How do I wash my socks?
All of our socks are machine washable and dryable. We recommend washing in cold or warm water. Socks will shrink a little in their first washing; however, they are knit on the larger size to accommodate this and do stretch out once worn again.
I'm in the middle of two sizes; what size socks should I order?
Our socks will shrink a bit, but they also stretch. If you like your socks to fit snug, then opt for the smaller size.

Beyond Heaven: Chicago House Party Flyers Vol. III from 1983 - 1992
The third and final volume of Beyond Heaven captures the spirit and energy of the emerging Chicago House scene through its ephemera. These flyers or 'pluggers' were promotional devices that were found in local record shops or passed around at schools and on the streets.
There is an amazing cut n paste, hand drawn DIY feel about these ephemeral flyers, which not only document the DJs of this vibrant scene, but also the record shops, labels, promoters, and dance groups involved.
This book reflects a more recent expansion of Mario “Liv It Up” Luna’s collection of Chicago house music flyers, ranging from the years 1983 to 1992. | <urn:uuid:baa69d11-a547-4097-b7df-b3040288e3de> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://coloursmayvary.com/products/beyond-heaven-chicago-house-party-flyers-vol-iii-from-1983-1992 | 2023-09-27T12:34:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.925857 | 158 |
So No Way Home is One More Day?
A lot of things from this movie has vibes over one more day but why should people even care about some needy kid anyway. Pretty sure I have heard that Mephisto is appearing on Dr Strange "multiverse" story. Also this Dr Strange already sounds fishy. I guess I am watching this film because Tobey is gonna appear.

Throughout the sixteenth century there were lots of encounters between the Commedia Erudita with its literary culture and Commedia dell’Arte with its practical know-how. The latter came here to meet the humanistic culture and especially the classic comedies. This contributed strongly to the sophistication of Commedia dell’Arte, when the Commedia dell’Arte groups went from court to court in order to make an earning in different festivities. It was also common for Commedia Erudita and Commedia dell’Arte groups to work together. Often professional Commedia dell’Arte groups would play in the intermissions in between acts in the written plays or the leading roles would be played by professional actors. High and low, amateur and professional theatre intermingled.
Many of the actors in Commedia dell’Arte were learned men and women and even noble, for example Francesco Andreini with his Gelosi. The first time someone separated Commedia dell’Arte and Commedia Erudita was Pier Maria Cecchini and Andrea Perrucci in the seventeenth century (something that Luigi Riccoboni wrote about in 1728).
Even though the Commedia dell’Arte groups played for a much broader public, since they played a much more popular comedy, they became gradually more famous within the finer salons.
By time some of the Commedia dell’Arte groups also replaced the Commedia Erudita. Many Commedia dell’Arte groups started out as Brigante groups, like Compagnia della Calza, that had been a central part of the theatre life in Venice, instead became the more famous group Accesi in 1565.
One thing more was that those who played Commedia Erudita, just as the English actors at the time (and long in to the nineteenth century), only got their own lines (and their cues) in the script, while the actors of Commedia dell’Arte always had the whole scenario at hand. This way they had an overview of the whole plot.
As Commedia dell’Arte grew more popular it also attracted more slanderers from scholarly circles. They wanted to see the Commedia dell’Arte actors as a band of tramps, without either pride or capability, who did not have any real knowledge but were con artists (quite like today in Sweden where the theatre establishment look at actors that have not gone to any of the four state theatre schools in Sweden in the much the same way). Commedia dell’Arte was not looked upon as less refined or advanced as Commedia Erudita. But the Commedia Erudita was also played and written by the courtiers themselves.
Even though Commedia Erudita was foremost literary theatre it was the acting that counted in Italy, not the written text. This tradition goes back all the way to the Greeks. Euripides and Aeschylus acted themselves in their plays since the acting was much better payed then the writing.
The great Commedia dell’Arte companies of the time were naturally never persecuted in the same way as those who played on the streets since they played in the castles and palaces for noble and dukes even for kings. Furthermore many of the actors were educated and from good families.
As an example we can look at this letter that describes a performance by the Gelosi at the wedding between the princess Christine of Lorraine and the grand duke of Tuscany Ferdinand Medici I in Florence 1589. It is Isabella Andreini’s great show-piece La Piazza d’Isabella:
“Meanwhile Isabela, finding herself deceived by Flavio’s snare, and not knowing how to remedy her misfortune, became wholly possessed by her grief, and thus dominated by her passion, and allowing herself to be consumed by rage and fury, was beside herself, and like a madwoman wandered through the city stopping now one person, now another, and speaking now in Spanish, now in Greek, now in Italian, and in many other languages, but always quite without sense. Among other things she began to speak in French, and also sing songs in the French manner, which gave such pleasure to the Most Serene Bride [the Dukes wife] that no one could have been more delighted. Then she began to imitate the ways of speaking of her fellow-actor – the way, that is, of Pantalone, Gratiano, Zanni, Pedrolino, Francatrippe, Burattino, Captain Cardone and Franceschina – in such a natural manner, and with so many fine emphases, that no words can express the quality and the skill of this woman.
The great groups of the Commedia dell’Arte were reminded also of the Commedia Erudita, and they did not just play comedies even though it was them they were famous for. Taste changed from one place to another and through the times. For example around 1570 Ferrara had an obsession for pastorals, while in Florence they preferred comedies and used willingly Commedia dell’Arte companies to do the comical intermissions in between acts in serious plays played by amateurs, and in Mantua, where they might have had their greatest income, it seems they did not have any preferences but liked all kinds of theatre. | <urn:uuid:2d4351ec-5d01-436b-8372-810bd653436f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://commedia.klingvall.com/commedia-erudita-the-gaze-upon-commedia-dellarte-and-its-collaborators-part-3/ | 2023-09-27T11:19:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.980582 | 1,131 |
This is the struggle between young and old, man and wife, master and servant, between two rivals and so on. The combat is a heritage from the carnival where it was an activity during the festivities, as in the struggle between Lent and the King of Carnival. The important was the combat itself, not who was the winner, even though Lent always won so the Carnival could end.
Same things apply when it comes to adultery and the struggle between man and wife. It’s not important if the adulterous succeed or gets beaten up, if the deceived discovers the adultery or not, if the cheating couple can look forward to more dalliances or not – it is the struggle, the combat itself that is important.
The struggle between man and wife and between the young and the old often mix together. Most of the time it’s about sex; sometimes it is about power; but it always ends with the old – who often are a man – gets defeated.
The combat is one of the things that define all Vulgar Comedy versus the official theatre that almost never actually brings the combat on stage, and never shows it physically, even though it might very well be about a combat, as in Aeschylus or Strindberg.

Entering the world of big data. Enterprise organisations leap on the bandwagon and introduses social media into the work environment by publishing information on facebook, twitter and its peers. The workforce are using mobile devices to communicate with each other and clients and information that earlier was regarded record worthy are now literally in the hands of users that are on the run 90% of their time, not in a possition to secure that agreements are documented and stored in the organisations recordstore.
E-discovery have been around for a number of years. The introduction of records management have helped many organisations in the quest for the truth when lawsuits have nocked on their door. But now when we urge our employees to be active on sosial medias in the name of the organisation it is neccesary to have a closer look on the e-discovery plan.
As we all know the titanic did not go down because it hit the top of the iceberg. Big data is all the information out there that potentially can give organisations an economical boost. but is is also a potential bomb in an e-discovery case.

I'm "owner" of a few pages on our wiki, but no longer want to receive notifications on page changes. When I click the watch "eyeball" at the top of the page, it says "You are not watching this page" so I assume I'm getting them because I'm owner.
Is there any way to turn off page edit notifications as an owner?
Just wanting to bump this question as three years later, this is still relevant: On Confluence pages that I created but that I am not watching, I unwantedly receive notifications if someone edits them (did find an option to disable emails for this, though). I would be glad if someone could point out how this can be disabled.
I've experienced this issue. After searching it seems Atlassian thinks it is a bug/gap and has two open bug tickets about it:
You could vote for one of these if you think it should be changed. However - it looks like you can manually remove these watches by navigating to:
Profile (My Confluence) > Settings > Watches
.. and then click the Stop Watching link for each of the page you don't want notifications.
I hope this works for me because I have 230 pages in this overview with 20 Confluence pages each, apparently every page I have ever touched in the last 3 years since starting at this company. As we very recently migrated I sincerely hope it does work. I would actually be happy enough to find the couple of pages that have been heavily edited since the migration but there seems to be no sorting or filtering feature here. So I guess I'll just unwatch 230 x 20 pages manually.
Uhl - Just stop watching the page. Even if you created it if you no longer want to receive notifications on it is all you have to do is stop watching the page. You can also view all the pages you are watching in your profile under Watches to make adjustments.
Okay, I just found the Page Watches section. I'd never have thought to look at My Profile to do something like that! 🤔
IMO this should be available from the page's Watches dropdown or provide a "Stop watching this page" option from the notification itself! | <urn:uuid:d5a2c546-ae51-4062-92ed-ce7708f899ef> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Is-there-a-way-to-turn-off-page-edit-notifications-if-you-re-the/qaq-p/871601 | 2023-09-27T10:51:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.957776 | 569 |
My team and I are all logged into Coda with our work email accounts, not a gmail account. Is there either a way to email from coda (via a button) without a gmail account associated with the login or, associate a gmail account with a non-gmail login?
as far as I know, you can use the gmail pack with another email than the one you used for your account. I’m in this case, i’ve a standard gmail adress that I use with gmail pack, which is not my login mail.
Then, you can create a unique gmail account for you whole company (firstname.lastname@example.org), that will be used in all the document to send mail. If the mail have to be send in your company it’s ok,
if you want that the mail appear to be sent with your official company adress (may be using outlook pack), I’ll let more expert guy answer
Ahh mega - that makes sense. I’ll go and take a deeper look. Appreciate it
You can even add several gmail account in the pack, so for me there is really no relation ship between login-to-coda adress and gmail-pack-using adress
Who is your mail provider? Because there is also an Outlook pack.
we had the same need, and it can be partially implemented in Coda, by indeed piggybacking on the Gmail Pack. Have a look here for an example:
Dispatch of Emails
2 tips about this solution:
- the sync table has an email column, so you can create as many views as non-Gmail accounts you have, each filtering a specific account,
- if you provide a reply functionality, your contact will receive it as sent from the Gmail account but in the Gmail button you can set the “Reply-to” field to your non-Gmail address, to make sure your contact sends their reply to the original non-Gmail.
Hope this helps!
We’re on Outlook - so I’ll check that out too
Thanks All - this was very helpful. I appreciate the quick responses!

- Added code to set the modified date of the file copied to the Move To directory when using the Move option in the After Processing options.
- Added setting to purge files that were moved to the After Processing directory older than the number of days specified in the File/Settings.
- Added ScanSoft version 15 support. Enable Scansoft must be set in the settings and UseScanSoft15 must be set to 1 in the .ini file
- Updated grid control for better functionality.
- Add ini switch to reload ScanSoft OCR control.
- Added code to show the file name being processed in the status bar on the main form.
- Fixed issue with main image control not being cleared after each input file.
- Updated LeadTools control to version 14.
- Added a file existance check before we load the image into the LeadTools image control just to make sure the input file still exists.
- Added code to reload the ScanSoft component before we load the image into the LeadTools image control to make sure there is nothing that could have a lock on the file preventing us from loading it into LeadTools and causing an error.
- Added error return code and any messages when we fail to load the image into the LeadTools image control.
- Reload ScanSoft OCR if an image could not be loaded. This will realease the problem image so it can still be moved so the user doesn't get an error 70 on the delete.
- On TIFF Image save, flag an error if no images exist in the temp bitmap control. This could possibly prevent a scenario where an RDX gets created, but no image file.
- Reverted to V1.0.7 changes because of possible problems with Nathan's logic. Checked out V1.0.9 and then did a Get on V1.0.7 so that we're back at V1.0.7 I also touched each project file by moving or changing something slightly so that Sourcegear would see all files as changed when we check back in.
- Turned off message box flag for RunImageZoneAnalyze by tying it to the Display Error Messages flag.
- Removed some of the old code not used since this program was derived from the WebDocs iSeries Batch Import program, such as CheckinDocument :-)
- Only increment image page count if valid image found.
- Do not flag any images as error. We ALWAYS want after processing to happen. NEVER let the user use "Delete After Processing". When a bad image is found, we will let it run its course, otherwise images may get out of order. It's up to the user to review the logs regularly to make sure no errors occurred and if so, they can reprocess a selected image file from the "Move After Processing" directory.
- Added code to check to make sure image file truly exists in the checkin directory before creating the RDX files.
- DO NOT allow delete after processing. If delete is selected, the entire directory entry will not be selectedand no images will be processed. We're trying to avoid image loss by saving images that may get processed incorrectly.
- Removed "Delete After Processing" option from grid. Still there, just invisible.
- In Directory List Grid, if SetReadOnly or MoveAfter selected, DeleteAfter database is always De-Selected since we're not allowing this option and it's no longer on the grid.
- Log files are never cleared. A new log file is created for each day. Log file name: C:\Program Files\RJSIMGBATCHIMP\RJSBATCHDOCOCRLOG-YYYYMMDD.TXT
- Log clear option disabled. Since there can be many log files, we disabled for now.
- View logs option browses log file directory. Usually same as app directory.
- Added ini setting to control how many files are processed before the Scansoft OCR component is reloaded. It will always reload at the begining of the process pass and then again after the specified number of files have been processed. This should help with issues after a lot of file processing.
- Change process so we now merge all files that match barcodes and then we so the After Processing to all the files.
- Added ability to move error images to defined error directory.
- Added more trace points to help trouble shoot errors.
- Added validation to process files that are from the previous day regardless of the time stamp. This way if there is an error that stops the processing all night, but files were scanned at 4pm, it won't wait until 4pm the next day to process them.
- Added code to release the VB Scripting module after every pass.
- Added setting so we don't process any files that are newer than the time set in the settings. This will prevent documents being processed that are still being scanned.
- Added TIFF Image Resave option for users to be able to force TIFF image files to be opened and saved via the Eastman Imaging components before being imported. Some customers may have TIFF images generated with applications where only the Eastman Imaging software seems to be able to open the TIFF files. The following settings must be enabled: Resave Tiff Images - Enabled TIFF XRes Filter - Set to 0 to resave all TIFFS. Otherwise only images with the desired X DPI resolution will be processed TIFF YRes Filter - Set to 0 to resave all TIFFS. Otherwise only images with the desired Y DPI resolution will be processed
- Fixed problem when *PCFILEPREFIX or *PCFILEDATE were used. Only the first value would get used, causing all keys to get set with the sames values.
- Remove Stamina and WebDocs DLL References
- Initial development

I am pretty new in this area, so please pardon me. I have in my organization multiple IBM SAN Storage solutions and there is this NFS volume that is giving my issues. Upon some research, I have realized that the 230GB of space allocated to it always appear as FULL to Data OnTap (but only 10GB used in Windows). I have learn that I have to "reclaim" back this space using a software called SnapDrive for Windows.
Before I purchase this SnapDrive for Windows, it is possible for me to get hold of a demo copy before committing a purchase?
Is there other workaround apart from SnapDrive to reclaim back these space for use again? How do I prevent such issue to happen again?
Deleteing the snapshots would only reclaims space from the volume. If you need to reclaim space form the LUN, you need to run a space reclaimer (i.e. SnapDrive) at the OS layer to the reclaimer can tell the Filer which blocks in the LUN to release and then the Filer can resize the LUN. SnapDrive allows you to issue a resize to the disk attached to it and takes care of all this. | <urn:uuid:93fbffe3-00b5-4f08-801e-004f9657664f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://community.netapp.com/t5/Data-Backup-and-Recovery/Reclaming-Space-on-LUN-IBM-SAN-Storage/m-p/42657 | 2023-09-27T11:32:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.939278 | 241 |
Thinking in Experiments
PDMA St. Louis | August 10, 2021
Our customers can’t always tell us what to build and we constantly need to make decisions based on incomplete data. It is therefore up to the Product team to figure out where it can get the most value out of the solutions they build.
Cherry will share her journey from scientist to product manager and talk about how her background as a scientist has helped her shape the way that she drives product discovery and development. She hopes to convince us that framing these efforts the way that scientists define experiments is a helpful way to think about product development. She will provide tips on how to develop a mindset that incorporates scientific thinking in your everyday work.
This presentation is geared towards Product Managers (and their teams) who want to create a culture of continuous experimentation rooted in evidence gleaned from truth-seeking and discovery.
About the Presenter
Cherry Ignacio is a former computational biologist turned software product manager who is passionate about developing high-impact products. Since leaving the lab she has helped develop products that range from DNA analysis software used by scientists around the world to tools that help monitor COVID vaccines in hundreds of hospitals. She is based in St. Louis where she is currently a Senior Product Manager at Emerson’s Cold Chain Organization. | <urn:uuid:dc8781ce-2379-4e94-a808-c2ff303b9e66> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://community.pdma.org/knowledgehub/resources/local-chapter-content-on-demand/pdma-st-louis-2021-08-10 | 2023-09-27T13:03:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.968342 | 267 |
Bought the Pixma g6020 mega tank all in one printer a few years ago, and loved it. Best printer I ever had. I print often and usually in color, onto all different media types, such as paper, glossy and matte photo paper, printable vellum, printable glitter paper, printable transparencies, cardstock, etc.
About 5 months ago, I refilled the ink tanks. All three colors and black. Used Canon inkjet refill ink. Maybe a month or so after that, every photo I print comes out with a blue tint. I have done multiple nozzle checks, multiple cleanings, multiple deep cleanings, 2 ink flushes, head alignments, and no improvements. The only way I can get the photo to print even halfway close to the image displayed on the screen of my laptop or phone, is to manually adjust the color management:
This gets the picture close but it still looks a bit faded or white washed. Any suggestions?
To help us determine the cause of the issue that you are experiencing, please take a photo of the last nozzle check that you printed and attach it to your reply to this post.

2016 Date TBD
Prairie Pines, 112th and Adams
Free admission to tour the farm and enjoy the activities.
Prairie Pines is used by participants in the Growing Farmers Program to start their farm business by growing and selling fruits and vegetables. Eight beginning farmers are growing a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs on the five-acre site. Community Crops manages the farm, which produces vegetables for our CSA (vegetable subscription program).
Everyone is welcome, whether you want to experience a working sustainable vegetable farm, or are interested in having a plot of your own next year. Bring your friends. Kids are very welcome (but please no pets), and we’ll have plenty of fun activities for everyone to explore the farm.
The Heoya Food Truck will be selling their delicious food and Gelato to Go is bringing tasty desserts. There will be lots of produce and flowers for sale from our beginning farmers, too!
The farm is at 112th and Adams. Signs will be posted. Take Adams east from 84th Street and watch for signs.

Our community is full of awesome people, but one school teacher has been standing out from the crowd.
Chantal Stefan has been leading students on a mission to give back to our community.
If you haven’t heard of the Everyone Deserves a Smile program, she’s the heart behind it.
It’s a program that has been assisting vulnerable and homeless residents in the Comox Valley and other communities for years.
Chantal started it years ago, back when she was living in Alberta.
She saw a man digging through a garbage bin one cold winter night in Edmonton.
“I wish I could meet that man,” said Chantal to Comox Valley News “He changed my life.”
Following the encounter, she was moved to start the Everyone Deserves a Smile project.
She and a few friends would fill handmade decorated present bags with mittens, socks, and other treats. They would place them in alleyways as a kind of Santa Claus project for people living on the streets.
Since moving to Comox, she’s brought the project with her, and scaled it up a lot.
Her students have helped along the way.
To date, students and other EDAS volunteers have handed out 23,000 holiday care packages.
They’re given out to shelters, soup kitchens, support agencies and people living on the streets.
Julia Chard, a past student who took part in the project, decided her old teacher should get a little more recognition.
She nominated Chantal, or “Ms. Stefan” for one of the province’s most prestigious awards.
No big shock. She won.
Chantal will be one of 15 people presented with BC’s Good Citizenship Medal next year.
“It’s an honour to award these individuals with the Medal of Good Citizenship,” Premier David Eby said in a news release. “Each one of them embodies the traits of generosity, kindness and sacrifice for the benefit of others. Their actions touch so many lives, creating better communities throughout BC.”
While Chantal was incredibly moved by the gesture, she said she’ll be accepting the award on behalf of all the students, teachers, and all other volunteers who’ve given the project life.
“Something like that doesn’t happen without incredible people working hard behind the scenes,” said Chantal. “It’s truly remarkable. I’m so proud of everybody. I feel so much love for our community.”
By the end of this season, the program will have reached 26,000 people.
The EDAS team still needs about scarves to give out before Christmas! Scarves are still being accepted today! (Friday, December 9th)
They can be dropped off at Puntledge Park Elementary.
All the care packages will be delivered this weekend! | <urn:uuid:82e06bb2-95e0-4e39-add8-d0b6fb8b82ba> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://comoxvalley.news/comoxs-medal-worthy-citizen/ | 2023-09-27T12:25:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.955201 | 617 |

Mississauga, Ontario, is home to the third and final phase of the M City Project, M3. In the winter of 2023, M3 is expected to be completed. To be built at 505 Webb Drive, between Confederation Parkway and Burnhamthorpe Road W.
Only the Absolute towers in Square One will compete with the M City master-planned development in Mississauga. The skyline of Mississauga’s downtown will never be the same with the addition of many new structures.
M3 M City is going to be a fantastic place to live, with a wide range of facilities and a thriving community. There will be high-end, opulent interior design spaces brought to you by Cecconi Simone Inc. Rogers Smart Home Technology will be installed in 784 units in the first phase. As part of Mississauga’s Downtown21 Master Plan, M City includes a two-acre public parkland.
Even among the condominiums in Toronto, this master-planned community in Mississauga will be one of a kind. There is an astonishing lighting effect with sunlight thanks to the architecture of M3 Condos, which seems like an upside-down high-rise. The balconies of M3 Condos are painted in either black or white, completing the complex façade. The zig-zag pattern of black and white creates a “staircase” effect that is guaranteed to draw attention.
Nearby Square One Shopping Centre and multiple blocks of plazas will provide residents with convenience. Pho Mi 99 serves Vietnamese cuisine, Alioli serves Italian, and Canyon Creek Restaurant serves outstanding steaks. Mississauga benefits from its multiculturalism.
The Sky Zone Trampoline Park, Playdium, and Cineplex Cinemas are all within a short distance of this site, making it ideal for families. Sheridan College and a variety of elementary and secondary institutions cater to students of all ages.
As well as the Living Arts Centre and the Art Gallery of Mississauga, there are also the Living Arts Centre Theatre, Opera Mississauga, and the Mississauga Celebration Square, all of which are within walking distance of this pre-construction condo. Celebration Square has a variety of fun events throughout the year, including Movie Nights, Holiday Special Events, and Farmers Markets.
When they are completed, there are plans to make Mary Fix Creek Gateway Condominiums pedestrian-friendly and interwoven with Mississauga’s whole Miway public transportation network. Both the Erindale and Cooksville GO Stations are close, making it simple to get into the city. Commuting is a breeze because of the neighboring highways 403, 401, and 407.
Residents of M City can drive to Square One in only two minutes, saving them a 10-minute walk. If you’re looking for anything specific, you’ll find everything from Walmart and LCBO to Apple and Holt Renfrew at this giant mall.
If you can’t find what you’re searching for at this massive mall with 360 shops, you’re in danger. It’s one of Canada’s largest malls, after all. Bier Markt, Earl’s, &Co Resto Bar, Caffe Demetre, Pier 87, and Fish Market & Grill are just a few of the beautiful restaurants in the area around Square One.
David Wex and Mark Reeve founded Urban Capital Property Group in 1996, a forward-thinking and ambitious company. As a Toronto-based development business, Urban Capital has a relatively low profile among investors today.
Despite this, the city has made tremendous progress in the area of avant-garde and design-trending initiatives. Once-industrial sites in this area are being transformed into modern, energy-efficient residences.
With their most well-known project, River City, located immediately west of the Don Valley and on the outskirts of Corktown, they have become a well-known name in the construction sector.

We introduce a practical example of a game-changing concept called Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD), where a dynamic fog of war is added on the defender side through deceptive response and nomadic honeypots. Thanks to our massive global infrastructure of honeypots in more than 50 countries (low to high interaction), we’ve worked on the topic linked to attackers that build up databases of potential victims over the medium term, meaning that they sometimes don’t strike again with the same firepower on a previously identified target.
Through a 101-style introduction about AMTD, we will explain how we were able to play against attackers with simple or advanced deception solutions, and how we moved from a static world to a dynamic one, toward a global automation to orchestrate changes in a way that creates a kind of fog of war by changing the attack surface. Beyond these necessary concepts, we will also share some of the results we captured on the battlefield, such as attacker behaviors, interesting weapons, useful statistics regarding the never-ending global war in the cyber sphere. And if you want to play on your side, we will share advice so you can play with easy DIY suggestions.
You will learn how to reduce the exposed attack surface through innovative battle-tested concepts, and how to create valuable items about attackers through a powerful intelligence lifecycle that can be injected directly into your security solutions, so that it can be used as prediction and prevention (CTI, IoC, TTP). | <urn:uuid:5e093a72-6c63-42f4-ab70-36f19a8f1969> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://conference.hitb.org/hitbsecconf2023ams/session/commsec-nomadic-honeypots-how-to-create-actionable-cti/ | 2023-09-27T11:54:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.932648 | 298 |
Verification & Validation
Click here for the FLUENT 12 version.
In order to assess the numerical accuracy of the results obtained, it is necessary to compare results on different meshes. We'll re-do the calculation on a 100x60 mesh which has twice the number of nodes in the radial direction as the 100x30 mesh.
In Workbench, under Turbulent Flow project, right click on Fluid Flow (FLUENT) and click duplicate. Rename the duplicate project to Turbulent Flow Refined Mesh. You should have three project cells in workbench.
Double click on Mesh for Turbulent Flow Refined Mesh. The ANSYS Mesher window will open. Under Outline, expand mesh tree and click on Edge Sizing 2.
Highlight "Edge Sizing 2". Under Details of "Edge Sizing 2", increase Number of Divisions to 60. This will refine the mesh in the radial direction at the inlet.
Highlight "Edge Sizing 3". Under Details of "Edge Sizing 3", increase Number of Divisions to 60. This will refine the mesh in the radial direction at the outlet.
Click Update to generate the new mesh.
Close the ANSYS Mesher and go back to Workbench windows. Under Turbulent Flow Refined Mesh, right click on Fluid Flow (FLUENT) and click Update. Wait for a few minutes for FLUENT to obtain a solution and update all the results.
We would want to compare the solution on the two meshes. To do that, drag the Solution cell of Turbulent Flow Refined Mesh to Results cell of Turbulent Flow.
Double click the Results cell of Turbulent Flow, and after CFD Post opens, we can compare our results by simply selecting the desired chart!
The following images show comparisons of Centerline Velocity, Coefficient of Skin Friction, Outlet Velocity, and Wall Y-plus.
From the first three plots, we can see that the velocity and skin friction coefficient results have remained nearly unchanged. However, the Y-plus results show significant improvement.
You may want to experiment with meshes of other granularities and compare their plots with the plots saved from the 100x30 and 100x60 meshes.
In Problem 1, we will be looking at the effect of coarse meshes with uniform granularity.

What is the ACFE Mentoring Program?
The ACFE Mentoring Program is an online tool — including a searchable database — that facilitates the establishment of mentoring relationships. It is user-driven, allowing registered mentees to search among registered mentors using specified criteria to find individuals whose experience and expertise match the areas in which they wish to be mentored.
Is there a fee associated with using the ACFE Mentoring Program?
The ACFE Mentoring Program is a members-only benefit. There is no additional charge to use this resource.
How are mentors and mentees matched?
Members must first enroll as a mentor, mentee, or both. During the enrollment process, members select preferences for various demographics to establish their personal criteria.
A registered mentee visits the Find a Mentor page and fills in their search criteria to search for possible mentors. The mentee then clicks the names of potential mentors to view their profiles. Once the mentee has decided on a mentor, they click on the mentor badge (above the profile picture) to request that person as their mentor. An e-mail is sent to the mentor alerting them that they have a mentee request. The mentor accepts or declines the request.
Does the Mentoring Program provide CPE credit?
Yes. Mentors and mentees who are CFEs are eligible for CPE through the ACFE Mentoring Program*. To claim CPE credit, both the mentor and mentee must complete a Mentoring CPE Log at the end of each session. The Mentoring CPE Log must include the date, topic, and duration of time for each meeting. It must also be signed by both the mentor and the mentee.
*CFEs can earn up to 12.0 ACFE CPE credits, per year, at a rate of 1.0 CPE for every 2 hours spent with a mentor/mentee
Download the Mentoring CPE Log and submit it at the end of the session. The full instructions for completing the form and earning CPE are included on the form itself.
How do I become a mentor?
If you are a CFE, you may enroll as a mentor. You will be instructed to choose your preferences for various demographics and also to complete your member profile.
Who are the mentees?
Mentees are other members who need you to help support their careers.
Can I have more than one mentee?
You can have up to three mentees at one time. We recommend that you be judicious in selecting only mentees who are most suited to learn from your expertise and experience. You can limit the number of mentee requests you are willing to accept on the mentoring enrollment page.
How do I find mentees?
Mentees request mentors in the ACFE Mentoring Program.
How will I know if a mentee has selected me as their mentor?
You will receive an e-mail from the mentee which will prompt you to accept or decline the request. You may also visit your mentor profile to view any mentee requests.
Is it okay to decline a request?
Yes, but there should be a good reason to do so. We encourage you to at least have an initial conversation to explore whether the relationship would be mutually fulfilling. If a potential mentee has misinterpreted information in your profile, you may find him/her to be an inappropriate match. If you want to decline a request, go to the My Mentoring Relationships page and click the decline button next to the specific request.
What if I’m going to be on vacation or unavailable for a period of time?
Go to the Enroll as a Mentor page, under the Mentor Status section, click on the box next to Temporarily Not Participating. Doing this will indicate that you are not accepting any mentee requests at the moment, and your mentoring profile will not be included in a mentee’s search for a mentor. It is your responsibility to communicate your availability to your existing mentees.
How do I end a mentoring relationship?
If the mentoring relationship is complete, go to the My Mentoring Relationships page and mark the relationship as completed.
If the mentoring relationship isn't working out, please kindly discuss your decision to end the relationship with your mentee. Go to the My Mentoring Relationships page and mark the relationship as completed. Please email the program coordinator, Kirsten Hayward, at email@example.com if you feel we should be aware of the situation.
What are the expectations for participating mentors?
Please review our Program Guidelines. We expect that you will fulfill your commitment to developing at least one mentoring relationship. We expect you to respond to initial requests from mentees in a timely manner, and that you communicate with your mentees as agreed upon by both you and your mentees.
How much time will I need to invest as a mentor?
We recommend that you and your mentee(s) agree on a schedule that works best for both of you. The program requirements, stated in the guidelines, advise mentors and mentees to meet for at least one hour per month for the duration of your partnership. The most important thing to discuss is your mutual expectations about time and communication at the start of your relationship. Keep in mind that mentoring doesn’t necessarily require large amounts of your time. Even brief phone calls or e-mail exchanges with you can make a big difference to your mentees.
What benefits do I receive from the organization if I participate as a mentor in the program?
All mentors are volunteers. As an active program participant, you will receive a ribbon identifying you as a mentor in our Community. You will also receive ACFE-approved CPE (not NASBA-compliant) for your time.
How do I become a mentee?
If you are a member, you may enroll as a mentee. You will be instructed to choose your preferences for various demographics and also to complete your member profile.
Who are the Mentors?
Mentors are CFEs who have volunteered their time to support other members' careers.
Can I have more than one mentor?
You can only have one mentor at a time; once you have completed your relationship, you will be able to request a new mentor. We recommend that you be judicious in selecting a mentor who is most suited to your mentoring needs. Please keep in mind that mentors have limited time to offer and may have other mentoring relationships.
How do I find a mentor?
Once you have enrolled as a mentee, go to the Find a Mentor page and select the criteria you want to use for your mentor search. Click on the mentors' names to view their profiles. Once you have found a good match, click on the mentor badge (below the profile image) to send the mentor an email request.
What should I do if I don’t hear from the mentor I requested?
If you don’t hear from the mentor within one or two weeks, feel free to contact them using the contact information found on their profile page. If they do not respond, we encourage you to search for other mentors that can help you. If you have any other issues contact the program administrator here.
What if the mentor isn’t the right fit for my needs?
Sometimes, regardless of the information provided, mentors and mentees don’t always fit. If this happens, we suggest that you discuss your decision honestly and kindly with your mentor. Thank them for their time and then start a new mentor search. If you are having trouble, contact the program coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.org.
Where can I meet with my mentor?
It is up to you and your mentor to decide how, when, and where you want to pursue your mentoring relationship. It is likely that most of your communication will occur by phone or electronically.
How long does the mentoring relationship last?
The mentoring program is moving from a six month program to a more fluid structure. If you want to participate for 6 months or more, you are still able to do so. Additionally, if you have limited time and have short term goals, you can participate for only one month. We recommend that you and your mentor agree on a schedule that works best for both of you. The most important thing is to discuss your mutual expectations about time and communication at the start of your relationship. | <urn:uuid:b86a50e1-e8cc-4e44-b65b-73eae765c24f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://connect.acfe.com/mentoring/mentor-faq50 | 2023-09-27T11:41:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.940045 | 1,761 |
It is essential to move the body, yes. Its even more essential to consider a healthy framework.
We’ve all experienced gym class in school or maybe had the benefit of a personal trainer and heard the cries of coaches, “Push” “Make it count” “One more rep” “No pain, no gain!” It’s meant as motivation to help you reach a goal you might not otherwise reach without encouragement. And that’s great for a body that’s feeling good, is able to repair from being pushed, and isn’t experiencing a myriad of symptoms. If that describes you, you can stop reading. But if you experience a cycle of wanting to work out, injuring yourself, needing to rest from the injury, and starting the cycle over again, read on. You may be working under one or many of the myths below.
MYTH #1: Strong muscles and a beautiful body indicate you are in good health.
MYTH #2: A healthy heart and healthy arteries indicate you are healthy.
MYTH #3: Exercise rebuilds your body.
MYTH #4: Exercise cannot be harmful.
Here are a few guidelines for exercise:
1. Don’t use your pulse as your only guide.
2. Follow common sense. Don’t push past exhaustion.
3. Don’t use exercise as a crutch or drug.
4. If you skip exercise for a few days, you should still feel very well.
6. Involve your whole body.
Walking, swimming, bicycling and gardening are excellent. Long-lived people in the world often work outside, but usually not strenuously. Meditative exercises such as yoga or tai chi are also okay but be careful because many are injured in these classes due to peer pressure to keep up with their classmate’s performance rather than focusing on where they are as an individual. The teacher must walk around the entire class at all times to make sure the students are doing the poses correctly at all times. This is very important to avoid injuries. This is why walking is often better, as it is safer.

Your SOC Isn’t Enough. You Need A Mindset.
There were no SOCs when Sun Tzu wrote “The Art of War” more than 2,500 years ago. The ancient Chinese warrior’s old principles can empower new cybersecurity attitudes and approaches to fighting our newest wars in the digital realm.
And make no mistake: today, we are at war in the 5th Domain. Bombs aren’t exploding and people aren’t dying, but what we build, where we heal, who handles our money, and even when we flip on a light switch are all under continuous attack. Attacks by smart, motivated, and resourceful cyber adversaries from around the globe who look to cripple our society.
Our way of life is under assault, and how we can fight back is the vision behind my upcoming book, “All The War They Want: How To Break The Rules And Stack The Deck.” And our defense begins with focusing not on the latest gadgets, but on our mindsets. The way we think about this problem will play a huge role in the final outcome.
Be Adaptable, Agile, and Aware
Traditional approaches on how to fight in this digital dimension are doomed to fail, because conventional wisdom is predictable, and predictability is exploitable. We must have the ability to adapt rapidly, and not simply follow rules. In that sense, we need to be more of an organism than an organization. We must be agile and aware while aiming at the end result of actual defense and deterrence.
Today, the typical approach falls well short of that ending. Far too often, we settle for security compliance, which means that we’re simply doing what we’re supposed to do, today. But that should only be a checkpoint on the road to maturity (which means that we’re doing what we’re supposed to do every day) and effectiveness (what we’re doing every day actually works). Most organizations never get to maturity, let alone effectiveness.
To start that journey, our evolving processes must be rooted in consistent principles. Sun Tzu offers three key ideas that can help us identify challenges and opportunities as they form in this new battlespace. They are:
- Know the environment. If you’re going to climb a mountain, fight a battle, solve a problem, or face adversaries of any kind, the more you know about the terrain you’re operating on, the better off you are. Knowing the environment is your starting point, and you build outward and upward from there.
- Know the enemy. The key to success in special operations and asymmetric warfare is to be able to put yourself in the position of your adversaries without demonizing them. You must be able to see the situation through their eyes without your emotions clouding your view, because looking at it from their perspective will enable you to better predict, prepare, respond, and defeat them.
- Know yourself. It doesn’t matter how tough you are. Eventually, you’re going to run into someone who’s tougher. Once you truly understand that, it frames the way you engage in fights from that day forward. You no longer fight for sport, you fight only to win. Your survival is at stake.
Your opponents already are executing such principles, and succeeding in doing so in ways that are two-fold. There is intelligence preparation of the battlefield, where cyber adversaries are gaining information that would be needed to lead to future attacks. There is operational preparation of the environment, where our foes are positioned to be able to execute larger, more complex attacks. That is why having a SOC is not enough.
We’re Already Under Attack
The reality of this ongoing war was infamously demonstrated in the recent SolarWinds debacle, where the simple insertion of malware into code was both operational preparation of the environment and intelligence preparation of the battlefield. It allowed for the execution of attacks via that code and the simultaneous collection of troves of data.
That attack defined industrial, geographic, and political boundaries, and it reached virtually every corner of our society. It crystallized that this is a problem not just for our government or specific industries, but for all of the American people. Yet, there’s a lack of ownership of this threat.
We can’t believe this problem is unsolvable, or someone else’s problem to solve. Rather, you and I and our fellow Americans can and must reject the status quo, band together as a special operations unit to fight this asymmetric war and win it, and successfully defend our way of life.
If your answer to this challenge isn’t a “Hell, yes!” then it is a no. Total focus is the only way to solve difficult problems like this. Tech won’t be enough to win this war; we need tenacity, thought, and teamwork. I hope the book inspires us all.
War is no longer fought only on a battlefield. It happens everywhere at any moment in the devices we carry around in our back pockets and on our wrists. Cybersecurity was unheard of until 50 years ago—years before personal computers became commonplace. Now, with...

The book of Job presents a powerful account detailing the havoc God allowed Satan to wreak in one man’s life in order to demonstrate that physical circumstances can be completely unrelated to a person’s spiritual well-being. The lengthy discussion between Job and his friends provides insight into the assumptions and problems of the ancient doctrinal confusion on this matter, but the book as a whole provides God’s inspired explanation. When God entered the conversation, He took over Elihu’s emphasis on not questioning God’s character or behavior in the midst of suffering. His approach emphasized the weakness of man compared to the power of God to remind Job—and us—that we do not stand on equal footing with God and never will. However, as the LORD questioned Job and pointed to His own power by comparison, He also mentioned various parts of creation as evidence, reasoning that the grandeur, majesty, and power of these things He created proves that He is far greater still. This point is more relevant than ever when we consider the description of a particular animal—the behemoth.
In a lengthy reading in Job 40:15-24 the Bible records God saying, “Look now at the behemoth, which I made along with you; He eats grass like an ox. See now, his strength is in his hips, And his power is in his stomach muscles. He moves his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit. His bones are like beams of bronze, His ribs like bars of iron. He is the first of the ways of God; Only He who made him can bring near His sword. Surely the mountains yield food for him, And all the beasts of the field play there. He lies under the lotus trees, In a covert of reeds and marsh. The lotus trees cover him with their shade; The willows by the brook surround him. Indeed the river may rage, Yet he is not disturbed; He is confident, though the Jordan gushes into his mouth, Though he takes it in his eyes, Or one pierces his nose with a snare” (Job 40:15-24). Without question, this paragraph describes a powerful animal, but what is it? The word “behemoth” is just a transliteration of the Hebrew word meaning “animal” or “beast.” Some translators, along with the Archaeological Study Bible, make suggestions in the footnotes such as “hippopotamus,” “elephant,” or “alligator.” But maybe they should read that passage again!
A hippopotamus most certainly does not move its tail like a cedar tree because its tail could never qualify as a cedar tree, which would miss the whole point of the passage pointing out this animal’s strength. Likewise, an elephant hardly fits this description. While both the hippopotamus and alligator do reside largely in the water, they fall far short of the description offered by God. So what is this beast? If given only the description provided in this text, and without any prejudice, only one animal that has lived could ever fulfill every characteristic. This was a dinosaur. It fits perfectly the description of something along the lines of a titanosaur sauropod such as the Alamosaurus, Puertasaurus, or Argentinosaurus. So what more does this tell us? This perfect description, the reference to man’s failure to hunt it, and Job’s apparent familiarity with it all demonstrate that such beasts not only were contemporaneous with man (as the creation account also shows) but that they lived even after the flood. However, despite how obvious this is, men wish to portray this as something other than a dinosaur to protect the evolutionary narrative. Nevertheless, despite their efforts to twist and contort the text and confuse readers, a hippopotamus it is not. | <urn:uuid:ab669b09-a432-4f4d-9178-6c132871bbf4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://convictionsofhonor.org/a-hippopotamus-it-is-not/ | 2023-09-27T12:55:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.967486 | 809 |

- sweet green grapes
- mascarpone cream cheese
- puff pastry sheet
- parchment paper
- egg white
Fit Friday with Nichole
Today is wonderful… a day to talk squats. Some people love leg days, some people hate leg days. I do not fit into either of those categories. Instead of going hard on legs once or twice a week I mix in leg work throughout the week.
This means that I can walk, and even better run, throughout the week. Sitting down on the toilet is never a cause for concern. And walking down the stairs rarely brings tears to my eyes.
With all that being said, I love to throw squats into my workouts regularly. Let’s talk about four reasons why.
Muscles Worked; squats work your quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves!
Improved Core Strength; squats work your whole torso!
Produce More Power; it doesn’t matter if you are running or jumping, power is needed for all of it.
- 2-3 cups sweet green grapes
- 1 (4 ounce) mascarpone cream cheese; stir smooth
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 frozen puff pastry sheet
- 1 sheet parchment paper
- 1 egg white
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place parchment paper on half sheet baking pan.
- Combine cinnamon and sugar in small bowl; set aside.
- Unfold puff pastry in center of pan, spread mascarpone in center of dough, leaving a 1 inch edge plain.
- Evenly sprinkle cinnamon/sugar mixture over mascarpone.
- Evenly distribute grapes over cheese allow to pile up in the center.
- Crimp and fold the plain edges, pressing together as you work, to make the edge of tart.
- Beat egg white and 1 tablespoon water in small bowl.
- Brush egg white wash onto edges of crust.
- Bake 40-50 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Remove from oven, allow to cool and set for 10 minutes before serving warm.
- Enjoy your Grape Mascarpone Rustic Tart Recipe!

This week celebrates coaches across the country as we move towards reopening this month. The campaign, running from the 7th of June through to the 13th, will focus on the coaches in the sector, greatly affected by the disruption.
For many, the pandemic brought new challenges: from working virtually to financial uncertainty caused by ongoing restrictions. Coaches across the sector have come to question their identity, left or considered leaving the profession altogether.
The campaign named, ‘The Great Coaching Comeback’ is a testament to these struggles and is aimed at supporting coaches, highlighting their importance in everyday life.
With new research finding strong links between regular sport and children’s ability to control their emotions, coaches and sports professionals are more important than ever.
Alison Oliver, CEO of the Youth Sport Trust, can attest to the importance of improving outcomes for children. Find out more about her thoughts on the broad remit sports and quality coaching has on The Drive Phase podcast, this Monday.
UK Coaching has launched a survey to assess the level of disruption. The focus will be on proactive structures and methods based on what coaches need to get them back to delivering quality sports and physical activity. You can access the survey here.
UK Coaching’s Director of Coaching Emma Watkins, has stressed the importance of assessing the effect the disruption has had, she added:
“At this stage, we do not know how many coaches will return to the profession. It is likely to be less than before the pandemic, so we want to show the sector, the public and the government, the types of challenges the coaching workforce have faced over the past 12 months and work together to support them to return, ensuring we have a workforce of happy and healthy coaches across the UK.”
UK Coaching Weeks’ nominations are currently open for the UK Coaching Hero Awards Initiative which calls on partners and other supporting bodies to show their commitment to the five pillars that make up great coaching: Safeguarding, Diversity, Inclusion, Mental Health and Wellbeing.

1. For most installations there are 4 core default tabs in an SDA quote file (your implementation may have more):
2. SDA quote files are composed of individual tabs which act as your navigation through SDA. You access all SDA functions via the SDA toolbar, which you can view by clicking the Add-Ins button located at the top of Excel, in the button ribbon.
3. SDA is a powerful tool incorporating Microsoft Excel, Word and an Access database running in the background. You first create a “Quote” file in the Excel portion of SDA
4. On each of the tabs, the color of the cell indicates how it will be populated:
5. To get quote information into SDA you can use several approaches (see the user guide for detailed instructions):
6. If you need to add additional items to your quote, read the tip sheet available on the support page which explains several ways to add 3rd party items (servers, TV monitor screens, switches, etc.) that may not be part of your SDA database. Note that some SDA implementations may have these items listed on another tab such as the MiscProd tab for easy access.
7. By default, SDA will auto-calculate and auto-configure information for you, such as labor estimates and often-overlooked parts – (e.g. patch cables) based on what you’ve included in your quote. Therefore, you may see parts in your quote or costs for labor and installation that you didn’t specifically enter. You can adjust these if you need to, by entering information in the ‘Qty Adj’ column on the tab.
8. The Pricing tab is used primarily to set customer discounts from either a discount off of list price approach or from a markup over cost approach, depending on how your SDA is setup. You can also enter a system discount to be applied for the entire quotation, or apply a discount to a category such as hardware, software, services, etc. This tab is also where you can view your margins for the quotation, and where you can adjust your margins, sell price or markups by using the Goal Seek function (from the SDA toolbar.)
9. When your quote is complete and you’re ready to produce a proposal or other sales documentation, click Add-Ins > Outputs to view the menu of choices. In most instances you’ll be presented with a panel of options, Customer Pricing Schedule Options, to determine how to present the Schedule of Equipment – e.g. whether or not to show part numbers or extended list price, or hide services details, etc.
10. The outputs you create from your SDA quote will be Excel spreadsheets or Word documents (which can be saved as MS Word documents or PDF files.) You have the ability in most instances to modify these outputs if you need to, such as changing the pagination, enlarging/shrinking an image, bolding or highlighting a price, etc.)

From illusion to fear and, again, to the starting box. Around 6:00 p.m. today, Rafa Nadal left one of the most anticipated images of recent weeks. The Spaniard, in the midst of a great ovation, went out to the Philippe-Chatrier, the central court of Roland Garros, to prepare his debut in France. Despite falling at the Masters 1,000 in Rome with a lot of pain in his left foot, due to his chronic injury (Müller-Weiss syndrome), the Spanish tennis player was clear about his presence in the Grand Slam, which he has won 13 times. “If I am going to go to Roland Garros? I am not injured. I am a player who lives with a constant injury,” he remarked. after falling to Denis Shapovalov in Italy.
“Today in Manacor, at the Rafa Nadal Academy… See you on Wednesday, Paris,” Rafa posted Monday on his personal Instagram page, accompanying the declaration of intent with a photo training. Today, accompanied by Carlos Moyá and Dr. Ángel Ruiz Cotorro, along with the rest of the team, he arrived in Paris and tomorrow, around 19:00 in the afternoon, time of the main draw draw, you will know your way in the competition, who worships him. During the session, in which, at the end, he greeted Stefanos Tsitsipas, above the Balearic in the ranking (4th) after Rome, stands with the sides full of public and constant messages of support.

Sacred ground to get back on track
The king is already on his land, where he can resume the magical path that marked his start in 2022, the best start of his career, with 20 wins in a row. The Indian Wells final, in which he lost to Taylor Fritz, determined the start of another stretch, marked by injuries. First, with the rib problems, which originated in the semifinals of the United States against Carlos Alcaraz, and later, with the repeated pain in the foot. “It only remains to accept it and fight. The pain does not come from any movement. He is there all the time. Sometimes more, sometimes less. The goal remains the same. I’m going to keep dreaming about it and fight for the option of a success in Paris. Due to attitude it will not stay”, warns the Balearic. In Australia he has already shown that miracles exist. | <urn:uuid:3d88a40f-b00c-4efb-95c0-d188fb1bd3a4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://crackstreams.su/nadal-lands-and-trains-in-paris/ | 2023-09-27T12:42:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.967727 | 536 |

LEARN HOW TO MAKE THESE DIY FACE MASK WITH EITHER USING SEWING MACHINE OR HAND STITCHING!
This is a simple DIY Face mask you can make at home with the materials you have at hand. You can sew with a machine and if it’s not available, can definitely hand stitch with just a sewing needle and thread.
Disclaimer: These DIY Face Masks do not replace the need for surgical masks or N95 masks. Rather, they are the last resort for when no N95 or surgical masks are available. They are better than no mask at all.
These Face masks can be made with just 2 rectangular pieces of 100% cotton thick woven fabric and 2 pieces of elastic. Let’s see how to make these DIY face mask.
Materials needed for DIY Face Mask
- 100% cotton thick woven fabric.
For adult size – 2 pieces of 9″x7″ rectangular fabric (9″x6″ also works)
For kids size – 2 pieces of 7″x5″ rectangular fabric
- 1/4″ thick elastic
For adult size – 2 pieces of 7″ length elastic (6″ length elastic also works if you have a small face)
For kids size – 2 pieces of 6″ length elastic
- Pins to hold the fabric
- Sewing machine or just thread and needle for hand stitching
How to make Face Mask
- Take 2 rectangular pieces of 100% cotton thick woven fabric and 2 pieces of elastic as shown. Refer to the size measurements in the Material list.
- Leaving 1/4th inch from the edges of the fabric vertically pin elastic as shown. I used the small clothes pin since I didn’t have any pins with me.
- Put a small stitch on the elastic to hold it in place as shown. This is good if you are a beginner at sewing or Hand stitching.
- Cover the bottom rectangular fabric with the 2nd piece of fabric.
- Now, stitch all the four sides of the fabric leaving a little bit of space on one side of the fabric to reverse it in the next step. Follow the dotted line to stitch. It should look like the picture as shown.
- Reverse the fabric through the opening. Tug on the elastic to straighten the edges. You will stitch the opening in the next few steps.
- Fold the fabric from the top to make 2 pleats as shown in the picture. Pin those pleats to hold it in place.
- Stitch all four sides of the mask leaving 1/4″ from the edges. Ta-dah you have a DIY Face mask to use.
Here are the Adult size and kid size DIY Face Masks. Go ahead and make some for you to use or donate!

Mountain bike shoes are a direct extension of preferred riding style and bikes for most. Some of us may prefer a 6″ travel enduro bike from little brand X where others may prefer a 4″ travel xc race bike from big brand Y. The new Pearl Izumi X-Project Pro attempts to merge the riding styles of those looking for a lightweight efficient pedaling shoe with a casual high-performance walkable sole.
The X-Project Pro is unique in that it blends the stiff carbon sole of an XC race shoe with a more flexible forefoot of a casual shoe. In addition, Pearl Izumi adds co-molded rubber to the lugs for increased walking traction and a convenient double BOA closure that would be worthy of a NASCAR pit crews shoe changing efficiency.
Details: Pearl Izumi X-Project Pro $350 Weight: 370g (size 43)
Key features from Pearl Izumi:
- Advanced 3-Layer Seamless Composite Upper offers exceptional breathability and eliminates hot spots by adapting to your unique foot shape
- Zonal Bi-directional Closure wraps the foot for a semi-custom fit and secure foot retention
- Double BOA IP1 reels allow 1mm micro-adjustability and pop up for full release, BOA dials are directional and twist to tighten in different directions on the left and right shoes
- Co-molded carbon rubber tips on hollow TPU lugs provide impressive traction on an extremely lightweight bottom unit
- EVA foam heel absorbs impact for off-the-bike comfort
- 1:1™ insole system allows independent left and right arch and forefoot varus canting adjustability for optimal pedaling mechanics
What I like: The upper and tongue are very light and soft feeling. This makes for a very comfortable shoe without hotspots and easy to get in and of out thanks to the great dual BOA’s tongue placement. The sole is more than adequately stiff and efficient without being so stiff that comfort is sacrificed. The footbed system is excellent with enough wedges to make your feet happy no matter what shape or size.
What I don’t like: The molded rubber attached to the hard plastic lugs is beginning to show some signs of wear and peeling off after nearly 600 miles.

Fit is true to size if you’re familiar with Shimano, Giro, Five Ten. I wear either a 42.5 (if they have half sizes) or go up 1/2 size to 43 if half sizes unavailable. The shoe volume is good very good and should accommodate most well. The toebox offers plenty of room for the toes to move around without being sloppy.

Whether you have osteoarthritis (wear and tear on the joints) or an autoimmune inflammatory type like rheumatoid arthritis, dealing with stiff hands can be one of the most frustrating parts of managing arthritis day to day.
Your hands, made up of lots of little bone connections, are particularly prone to pain and swelling — yet you need them more than any other part of your body to complete daily tasks.
That’s where hand exercises come in.
Although osteo and inflammatory arthritis affect the joints differently, exercise has been shown in both conditions to improve flexibility and range of motion, reduce joint damage, and lessen symptoms of pain.
According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, exercise increases blood flow to damaged cartilage, helping it stay healthy and prevent further breakdown; exercise also strengthens muscles around the joints to help take some of the pressure off.
In addition, for OA, “these exercises will help increase the production of synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints so we don’t feel that stiffness,” says Karen Jacobs, EdD, OT, OTR, CPE, FAOTA, an occupational therapist who works with arthritis patients and a clinical professor at Boston University.
“Exercise” doesn’t have to mean a 45-minute whole-body endurance workout. Simple and quick stretches for your hands can help keep these crucial body parts limbered up and ready for the day’s activities. As always, clear it with your doctor before starting an exercise regimen. An occupational or physical therapist who is a hand specialist can also help develop the hand exercise plan that’s right for you.
Some tips for hand exercises for before you start:
Do them throughout your day. “Many of these exercises can done [resting hands] on the table or counter, but you can also do them wherever you are: standing in line, commuting on the train or bus, even in bed, before you start your daily activities,” Jacobs says.
Be gentle. Do all motions slowly, and stop when you feel tension so you don’t injure yourself.
For each exercise, hold for two to three seconds if possible, and do reps of 10 for each hand. The whole set can be done daily. But if anything hurts, stop.
Be mindful while doing the exercises. “Breathing in with your nose and out with your mouth to help relax and reduce stress is another thing to incorporate,” Jacobs says.
Jacobs recommends starting with these hand exercises for arthritis:
1. Make a fist
Start with your fingers straight and then slowly bend your hand into a fist. Make sure your thumb is on the outside of your hand. Don’t squeeze too tightly, then straighten again.
2. Bend your digits
Stretch your hand in front of you, palm up. Then take each finger and move it very slowly to the center of your palm. Hold it, then straighten.
3. Thumb bends
“Sometimes people have more issues with their thumb,” Jacob says, so when doing the digit exercise for your thumb, “bend it toward your palm—if you can reach your pinky that’s cool, and if you can’t, go as far as you can, hold and then start again.”
4. Make a C or an O
Move your fingers like you’re going to grab a little ball, and try to form a shape of a C or an O. Go as far as you can (an O would be making a complete circle with your fingers and thumb). Straighten your fingers and repeat.
5. Thumbs up
Have your hand in a loose fist with the pinky side of your hand on a table. Then point your thumb to make the thumbs up sign, put it down, and repeat.
6. Finger lifts
With your palm flat on a table, fingers spread slightly, lift each one slowly off the table, then back down before raising the next.
7. Wrist bends
Hold your left or right arm out with the palm facing down. Then take the other hand and gently press your whole hand down toward the floor. “People overdo this exercise so be very careful,” Jacobs says.
8. Easy squeezes
“Some people have a tennis ball or a stress ball and they like to squeeze that gently,” Jacobs says.
Hand Exercises to Avoid with Arthritis
Are there any had motions that aren’t good for people with arthritis? “A lot of repetition: typing on the computer all the time, constantly using one of your digits like texting with a thumb,” Jacobs says.
Also, “anything that might be heavily weighted you want to be very careful about, so avoid lifting something that’s very heavy,” she says. “You don’t want to injure yourself by overdoing it.”
In addition, you can keep of log of your activities and when you have pain, in order to identify individual triggers.

Happy Labor Day, Everyone! I have a Halloween card to show you that I made with the Boo To You stamp set. As you know, the NEW HOLIDAY CATALOG goes LIVE this coming Wednesday, September 4th. So, it is time to get your wish lists out and start perusing the catalog for what you want to be on your first order.
THE BOO TO YOU CARD:
I just love these little monsters. I think they are more cute than scary. Let’s take a peak at the inside of the card:
Now, tell me how scared you really are! LOL!! This adorable set can be seen on page 57 of the Holiday Catalog. I must confess, I am a little (or a lot) bummed that we do not have dies for these guys. So, the truth is, once I stamped them, I needed to cut them out with my paper snips. Unless we get a big surprise, like a die to cut these little monsters, I would have to drag out my Scan & Cut if I were going to do several. However, one was not bad and…it is for someone very special so I did not mind at all.
As you can see, I used a piece of black foil sheet on the card front that I first embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder. I love using punches so, I used a Starburst punched base to set my monsters on. These little guys were adhered to the starburst with dimensionals and to the card front with dimensionals too. The coloring was done with Stampin’ Blends using Rich Razzleberry and Granny Apple Green. I added Mango Melody to the monster on the inside of the card.
Rich Razzleberry Cardstock – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored and folded at 4 1/4″. -OR- 11″ x 4 1/4″ scored and folded at 5 1/2″. Scrap to punch.
Granny Apple Green Cardstock – 5″ x 3 3/4″ (inside), scrap to punch, scrap to stamp
Crushed Curry Cardstock – 4 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ (inside), scrap to punch, scrap to stamp
Whisper White Cardstock – 4 1/2″ x 3 1/4″ (inside), scrap to punch
Basic Black Cardstock – Scrap to punch
Black Foil Sheet – 5 1/4″ x 4″
I was able to use a lot of my scraps to make this card. That always makes me happy. I stamped the sentiment shown on the card front with Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto Whisper White and then punched with the 1 3/8″ scallop circle punch. I used the smallest Stitched Shape circle to cut the black layer it was glued onto before being adhered to the 1 1/2″ circle I punched from a Rich Razzleberry scrap. Again, I added it to the card with dimensionals too.
Don’t you LOVE the different colored, different sized, Assorted Googly Eyes!?!?! I added the googly eyes to the monsters with a touch of multipurpose liquid glue. The little monster man inside has eyes that were first colored with blends then jazzed up with a couple of the smallest rhinestone basic jewels that I colored with the Dark Black Blends.
I hope this gives you some Halloween card inspiration for a little one in your life. You simply cannot go wrong with this adorable Boo To You stamp set!

We here at Crippen are looking to make 2017 a record year for giving back to our communities. We will be holding monthly intraoffice fundraisers to benefit 12 different charities this year through our new Crippen Cares™ initiative. Our nonprofit spotlight is on this month’s fundraiser recipient, Marion Therapeutic Riding Association (MTRA).MTRA provides therapeutic horseback riding (or Equine Assisted Therapy) sessions at a very minimal cost, and on a sliding scale for those who cannot afford their very reasonable fees. The program income provides only 10-15% of the funding needed annually to keep their services in place and to cover the very high costs of feeding and maintaining horses, maintaining the PATH Premiere certified facility, and their overhead costs such as insurance, staff, and certified PATH instructors. Therefore, they rely heavily on the generosity of the community to maintain their programming.
In addition to the expense of the services provided at their Cross Florida Greenway location, for over 30 years MTRA has maintained the equine therapy program at the Hillcrest School for exceptional children, without charging the students and with no funding assistance from the school district.
Located in the heart of the Horse Capital of the World, MTRA strives to put the spotlight on these wonderful animals who keep our thriving community together. | <urn:uuid:f376bd25-622c-4e90-9601-96f83161d6cb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://crippencpa.com/crippen-cares-non-profit-spotlight-marion-therapeutic-riding-association/ | 2023-09-27T11:10:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.944239 | 265 |
AB - CONTEXT: Hyperglycemia and insulin resistance are common findings in critically ill patients and associated with increased morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the hyperglycemic response to critical illness in children. DESIGN: Observational cohort study. SETTING: University affiliated pediatric intensive care unit. PATIENTS: Six children with meningococcal sepsis (MS), ten children with meningococcal septic shock (MSS). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Differences in blood glucose levels (measured during 72 h after admission) and differences in plasma levels of glucoregulatory hormones (insulin, GH, IGF-1, cortisol, glucagons, leptin), soluble cytokine receptors (sTNF-R55, R75, sIL-1-R2) and IL-6 on day 3 between MS and MSS patients. RESULTS: Blood glucose levels on day 2 and 3 were higher in MSS patients than in MS patients (7.5 (3.9-13.0) vs. 5.1 (4.0-6.0) and 6.5 (4.0-9.9) vs. 5.5 (4.8-6.8) mmol/l, both P < 0.05). Maximum blood glucose values recorded in individual patients were higher in MSS patients (9.3 (6.5-13) vs. 7.2 (6.2-9.9, P < 0.05) and correlated with severity of illness (r = 0.833, P < 0.001). Insulin levels in MSS patients were significantly lower (7.2 vs. 19.0 mU/l, P < 0.001) compatible with insufficient insulin response to hyperglycemia while MS patients showed insulin resistance. Insulin levels correlated inversely with levels of sTNF-R55 and R75 (r = -0.814 and -0.878, both P < 0.001) suggesting suppression of the pro-inflammatory response on insulin secretion. CONCLUSION: Hyperglycemia associated with hypoinsulinemia rather than insulin resistance may be the normal pathophysiological response in acute meningococcal septic shock in children. Our study emphasizes that application of intensive insulin therapy in critically ill children demands further investigation. | <urn:uuid:2547b6d1-2ff1-4d5a-a249-b45b0eabc108> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://cris.maastrichtuniversity.nl/en/publications/hyperglycemia-in-children-with-meningococcal-sepsis-and-septic-sh | 2023-09-27T11:26:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.880909 | 490 |
On our June 2014 trip to Bali, traveler Jonette Kuykendall photographed Gustai Aji, a wayang kulit artist at the Astina Gallery in Mas, Ubud (photo below). Jonette recalled of her time visiting the artist,
During our visit we were able to watch the artists work on their projects. This man quietly sat and worked on his puppets and granted me permission to photograph him. Creating is an intimate part of an artists process and I was allowed to not only watch, but interact with them while he worked. Mom and I brought home several of the carvings from the Astina Gallery. I look at them daily and remember my visit and look forward to my return with my entire family. It is my dream to take them everywhere I went and let them meet everyone I met. My time in Bali was life changing. When asked to describe my time in Bali, my answer is always the same. I found peace.
Originating on the island of Java and Bali, wayang is an ancient form of storytelling through shadow puppetry. Visually striking, it relies on the meticulous craftsmanship of the puppet itself. Intricately detailed forms careen across a backlit cotton screen while the contrast of light and dark grants a further dimension then perhaps meets the eye.
Though there are different styles of wayang, the flat puppets, wayang kulit, are the most well known puppets of the Indonesian tradition. Kulit meaning skin, refers to its leather construction, carefully chiseled with very fine tools and supported with carefully shaped buffalo horn handles and control rods.
With a melody of characters as numerous as stars in the sky, the waylang kulit stories draw from the Hindu epics- the Ramayana, the Mahabharata or from the Serat Menak.
Craftsmanship of the highest quality takes weeks to create, employing the artistic abilities of not just one individual but several crafters working together. The artists start from a master model which need to be traced onto leather. The abstract leather figures are then smoothed with a glass bottle and primed to be painted.

Queen Victoria will cruise from Dubai for the UK at the tail end of the 2022/23 cruise season, departing the city on April 3rd for a 20-night voyage to Southampton.
The cruise can also be booked as a 22-night itinerary ending in Hamburg, Germany instead of Southampton, and is one of two Cunard cruises available from Dubai during 2023. Prices start at £3,209 per person sharing an inside Britannia cabin.
Like P&O Cruises’ Dubai itinerary in 2023, Queen Victoria will channel the ocean liners of the previous century with a port-lean point A to point B itinerary that calls in just four ports between Dubai and Southampton.
The first three days of the cruise will be spent at sea as Queen Victoria makes for the Indian Ocean, rounding the Musandum Peninsula and transiting the Strait of Hormuz to sail down the coast of Oman for Salalah, one of the greenest cities in the whole region.
Salalah benefits from the khareef the period of time between June and September when monsoon rains cause the landscape to explode into lush green vegetation. For this reason, the city is popular for its tropical wadis in the mountains, and its collection of beaches, which feel almost Caribbean.
Al Mughsail Beach, for instance, is a quiet and wild-feeling stretch of sand, full of caves and blowholes, while in the city itself the Museum of the Frankinscence Land provides a taste of Salalah’s history.
The museum is set within the ancient ruins of the trading port of Zafar, from which frankinscence was shipped to India, in return for spices. The on-site museum documents the history of the port as well as the area’s settlement since 2000 BC.
For a taste of the local culture and cuisine, visit one of the many markets and bazaars. Al-Husn Souq is one of the best, offering cotton headdresses, jewellery and heady incense. Further inland, visitors can discover the papaya, coconut and banana plantations of the region.
After departing Salalah, Queen Victoria spend four days at sea heading for Aqaba in Jordan, the last Middle East port on the itinerary, and the gateway to the iconic ancient city of Petra.
“Looming like a mirage that melts into the copper sandstone hills of the desert, [Petra] is a rare and magnificent delight,” says Cunard Line.
The red-rose city, carved into bare rockface and famously described as “half as old as time” is entered via a mile-long winding gorge known as the Siq. Visitors then stroll among the carved sandstone buildings that date back to at least 300 BCE, when the city was a major trading metropolis for the Nabateans, an Arab Bedouin tribe indigenous to the region.
In 312 BCE it was attacked by Greek Empire, marking the first reference to Petra in recorded history. Although the Greeks were defeated, the Roman Empire annexed the region 200 years later and ruled over it for 250 years, until an earthquake destroyed many of its buildings.
By the beginning of the eighth century CE, Petra was largely abandoned and no longer a significant location commercially, politically or culturally, and was largely lost to time until it was rediscovered by the explorer John Lewis Burckhardt in the 18th century.
There’s more to Aqaba than just Petra though. The city is a popular seaside tourist town, backed by burnt orange mountains and fronted by the Red Sea, with the Mars-like landscapes of Wadi Rum beyond.
Its restaurants are lively with fresh fish and beautiful coastal views while shopping in the Old Town’s souks provides ample opportunity for bartering. The majestic Sharif Hussein bin Ali Mosque, Aqaba Castle – originally built in the 12th century – and the Great Arab Revolt Plaza, commemorating the revolt against the Ottoman Empire, are among the cultural highlights.
From Aqaba, Queen Victoria sets sail for the Suez Canal, one of the modern wonders of the world and an unparalleled engineering feat that was centuries in the making. It takes a full day to transit the 120-mile route between the Mediterranean and Red Sea, with a dramatic pass under the El Ferdan Railway Bridge, the world’s largest swing bridge.
Then Queen Victoria calls in Naples, sailing by the Capri and Ischia islands, and giving passengers the opportunity to explore the wide choice of beautiful buildings, stunning parks and appetizing Italian eateries.
Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is the final port call before the ship’s arrival in Southampton. The city is home to impressive ancient sites over the seven steep hillsides that overlook the Tagus Estuary and River.
“Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world, its origins traceable to 1200 BC. Among its rooftops, Gothic towers and decadent domes burst from a sea of red-tiled buildings, while at ground level you’ll see elegant shops, graceful palacios and ancient ruins,” Cunard Line says of Lisbon.
Queen Victoria arrives in Southampton on April 23rd, 2023, and while this is a port-lean itinerary, the ship itself has plenty to offer as well, from her 5 restaurants and 9 cafes and bars, to her three pools and 4 Jacuzzis, spa, gym, theatre, casino, and her many lounges.
Queen Victoria is a modern cruise ship, but she retains the feel and traditions of an ocean liner with a Commodore Club observation lounge overlooking the boy, and a Winter Garden lounge, which invokes the memory of Cunard Line’s original Winter Garden cafes which began the trend of offering specialty dining experiences at sea.
There’s also a Midships lounge, Admirals lounge, and Chart room lounge, where guests can attend destination and history lectures, dance to a live band, watch various entertainment offerings and chat and meet fellow passengers. | <urn:uuid:d7edf647-abe0-4e30-88b0-9e459ceb0258> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://cruise-arabia.com/2023/01/30/cunard-line-announces-2023-dubai-to-uk-cruise-aboard-queen-victoria/ | 2023-09-27T11:53:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.941953 | 1,264 |

If you are enrolled in Original Medicare (Parts A and B), it can be complicated to determine what exactly it covers and what you might have to pay at the doctor. Medicare Part B, or outpatient coverage, does cover a wide range of doctor’s appointments, including medically necessary and preventive services. However, there are things it doesn’t cover, and deductibles do have to be met. Here’s what you need to know.
Medicare & Doctor’s Appointments
Medicare Part B covers 80 percent of the approved cost of medically necessary doctor’s appointments after a $203 deductible is met for the year (2021). Medicare describes these appointments as services that are needed to diagnose or treat medical conditions and meet accepted standards of medical practice. In general, this includes outpatient services at a clinic and some inpatient services at a hospital. The provider of these services must be Medicare-approved and accept “assignment” (a fee agreement between Medicare and a doctor).
Similarly, Medicare Part B also covers 80 percent of the cost of preventive services. This includes routine check-ups and other wellness services. Again, your doctor needs to be Medicare-approved and accept assignment.
2021 Medicare Part B Costs
- $148.50-$504.90 per month (depending on income)
- $203 per year
- Most medical services — 20% of the Medicare-approved amount
- Durable medical equipment — 20% of the Medicare-approved amount
- Outpatient mental health care — 20% of the Medicare-approved amount
About Medicare Assignment
As mentioned earlier, Medicare covers 80 percent of many medical services if the doctor accepts “Medicare assignment”. This is a cost-sharing system where doctors and other healthcare providers agree to take what Medicare pays, or the Medicare-approved amount, as payment in full. If your doctor doesn’t accept Medicare assignment, you may have to pay “excess charges” in addition to the 20 percent.
We know Medicare can be confusing, but we’re always available to explain each part and answer any questions.

Waka Kotahi unit facing restructure deemed 'no longer effective'
Four years after Waka Kotahi was slammed for not doing its job of keeping roads safe, a core unit of it has been labelled so ineffective it is being pulled apart.
The unit undergoing a restructure includes the road network safety team.
The unit's head said in an internal report a month ago, obtained by RNZ: "Increasingly, our functions and ways of working are perceived as barriers to better regulatory outcomes.
"We have lost clarity of how we add value, why we are here, what we exist for."
Transport industry sources question if the restructure will work, asking why it is getting rid of all of the unit's seven engineer jobs.
Waka Kotahi has been struggling to meet its targets to make roads safer. RNZ has asked what role the network safety team played in that.
Since 2018 the agency has installed just a fifth of the median barriers due by 2024 to prevent head-on smashes on state highways, and less than a fifth of the side barriers.
The harm being done by trucks and utes on roads is the main item highlighted in WorkSafe's explanation last year for why work fatality and harm rates are not coming down.
Waka Kotahi was ordered by the government in 2018, after various damning inquiries, to get its act together on the regulatory front.
But the internal report says the four-team System Integrity unit has not done that.
It labels it "not fit for purpose" and "no longer effective".
"In many cases external parties and internal Waka Kotahi teams are finding ways to work around us - effectively shutting us out of the tent," the unit manager Chris Rodley wrote.
"Therefore, we are no longer effective in our roles or in the delivery of our functions."
The four teams in the unit worked in silos and did not know what they were meant to do to deliver on the 2020-25 regulatory strategy.
"We do not have a risk-based and intelligence-led prioritised work programme," said Rodley, who came to NZTA from the Ministry for Primary Industries just over a year ago.
By stark contrast, an external review last December that Waka Kotahi promoted to the media, found it had made "significant progress" on regulatory improvements.
The agency has been telling partners this year that its regulatory function "is now clearly defined and understood, and we have a clear pathway forward".
The external review found Waka Kotahi had clarified its direction, roles and responsibilities, and the changes needed to be a "highly effective" regulator, the agency said.
Those changes included further work to be more responsive and focused on core purposes, and covered the restructure.
"It is important to note that network safety is not the responsibility of a single team within Waka Kotahi, it is at the heart of the work that all of our teams deliver," director of land transport Kane Patena said in a statement.
"The realignment of functions does not diminish the importance of network safety, in fact, it enhances it by ensuring the technical expertise required is well supported, aligned and focused on land transport system priorities."
At the same time, an internal email said the System Integrity unit "has grown to the point that their current operating model isn't sustainable".
Reducing risks on the road is proving tough.
WorkSafe in its 2020-21 annual report said, "There has been an increase in truck accidents per kilometre driven since about the middle of the past decade."
Road-to-Zero targets for new median barriers and side barriers are in danger of being undershot: 61km if medians have been installed against a 2024 target of 300km (not including new highway medians); 312km of side barriers against a target of 1700km.
The latest stats on roundabouts are better: 77 safety improvements so far - versus none as of last year; and lower speed limits on 584km of highway.
The agency said $3.6 billion was invested in safety from 2018-21, and another $2.9 billion would be up till 2024.
The System Integrity unit's restructure was expected to be finished next month.
As outlined in documents, it scuppers four teams - Network Safety, Vehicle Standards, Operational Policy, and Driver and Operator - and sets up four new teams - regulatory technical, implementation, programmes, and standards and guidance.
Most of the positions within the old teams were to be scrapped or "redeployed".
Seven engineering positions were to go in favour of new "technical advisors".
A stated aim was to shift the focus of managers away from "technical knowledge", and towards leadership and management.
One industry source RNZ agreed not to name, gave the restructure a one-in-10 chance of succeeding. "It is going to be worse 'cos I no longer know who to talk to," they said.
Many sources over recent years have told RNZ Waka Kotahi lacks technical nous, an impediment to improving the likes of truck and brake rules.
The restructure announced in May allowed for a two-week consultation period "to give everyone certainty as quickly as possible".
Since the 2018 regulatory debacle, Waka Kotahi had more than doubled its number of inspectors from 82 to 184.
Numbers have also soared away from the front line: HR staff have doubled from 57 to 122; admin up 60 percent to 509; accountants from 44 to 66; and communications almost trebled from 32 to 88, according to figures released to the National Party in response to written questions.
Transport Minister Michael Wood told National, that increased numbers were a response to "an expanded mandate to meet government expectations and outcomes, improvement to capability in support services such as IT, and investment and resourcing in the regulatory function at Waka Kotahi, which was left in a state of disrepair by the previous National government".
Road safety work also falls on police.
Their numbers of officers warranted to do health and safety investigations including of truck accidents has dropped from 27 two years ago, to 23 now, though there are more trucks on the road. | <urn:uuid:d94af375-2b47-4840-8fa2-2f180d1fe6c7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://crux.org.nz/national-news/waka-kotahi-unit-facing-restructure-deemed-no-longer-effective-documents-reveal | 2023-09-27T12:58:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.967208 | 1,277 |
Highland Heights Gateway Center was developed in 2009 during the height of the recession with 100% of the project pre-leased prior to construction. Casey Ward and his partners acquired a 2.5-acre parcel of land situated at the exit ramp off I-471 at SR 27 in Highland Heights. The site is narrow and presented some development challenges due to its topography. Our team was able to develop one of the premier retail locations in the trade area and attract high-quality national tenants including Chipotle and AT&T.
