Theory of the spin gap in bilayer cuprates
Ioffe L. B., Larkin A. I., Millis A. J., Altshuler B. L.
A model of two planes of antiferromagnetically correlated electrons coupled together by a weak antiferromagnetic interaction of strength Я has been formulated and solved. It is shown that in-plane antiferromagnetic correlations dramatically enhance the pairing effect of the interplane interaction. For the case in which the in-plane correlation length к~~х is ~ T~b we find that the interaction λ leads to spin pairing at a temperature Τ*~λ much higher than the usual BCS result, exp( —J/λ). We suggest that this is a possible explanation of the spin-gap effects observed below T*~ 150 К in YBa2Cu306 6. | <urn:uuid:464b1e3d-faad-450e-9217-4dc0050d0de0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.jetpletters.ru/ps/1295/article_19566.shtml | 2023-09-28T17:14:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.858142 | 183 |

Today is Friday - Day among Giants
Hello world. Today is a good day "ice cube" Hope all is well on the homefronts, I have been watching what i have been eating so should you. What have you done today to be nice to someone? let me know! got any jokes? humor me. its friday people. wake the fuck up : ) | <urn:uuid:407c4c59-6fb8-4fab-9b25-988bfd0c059b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.jhento.com/2010/10/today-is-friday-day-among-giants.html | 2023-09-28T18:59:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.978447 | 108 |
Ciáran McFeely, aka Simple Kid, is from Ireland; you know, that land mass 70 miles west of Holyhead. The island we're just about to throw under the bus. Sorry, I digress. Anyway, McFeely is a Cork lad and his lo-fi musical stylings remind me very much of Beck (a resident of Los Angeles, roughly 5,000 miles west of Cork) and, let's face it, that's no bad thing.
I mention this for the simple reason that despite being old enough to know better I still make playlists; I'm picking James and Janneke up from the station on Saturday and I thought I'd put a few tunes in the car. It's gonna be 27 degrees this weekend, so I can't think of anything more apt.

Phew! What a Scorcher. Today's sky high temperatures probably won't appease those living in the North West of the country who woke up today to find a sudden withdrawal of privileges.(Once again our spectacularly inept Government proved beyond a shadow of doubt they really don't have a clue what's going on.) So if, like the Number One Son, you live in Manchester, I feel for you. I really do. As with Leicester, it can't be much fun standing on the naughty step as you watch the rest of the class go outside to play.
Ironically, James sent me his 2020 (So Far) playlist only yesterday and it's full of wall to wall Summer bangers. Party music, if you will; as long as the party is neither in your home or garden. Or with other people who aren't from your household. Give me strength.
Anyway, back to those bangers. James knows my love for the System. Here's a tune that is so heavily influenced by the soul funk duo who gave us You Are In My System (a huge hit for Robert Palmer) it's uncanny. I absolutely love it.
This then goes out to anyone with an M postcode.

Today is Tuesday; it being the day after Monday, that figures. But today actually feels like a Tuesday - not a lockdown Tuesday. For the first time in a very long time (it started at the weekend) there is a modicum of normality (normalcy, anyone?) creeping back into my life. Later this morning I've got a Zoom call that should secure some freelance work, and this afternoon I'm joining my friend Deke on the final leg of his charity challenge walk to provide tea and encouragement - I may even walk a couple of miles with him. Like I said, it actually feels like a real Tuesday; long may it continue.

Despite being a man of a certain age I'd like to think I can more than hold my own in this frighteningly fast moving digital age; although I am mildly disappointed that we have yet to see the jet-packs, monorails and Wimpey Bars on the moon we were promised as kids.
As digitalised as we all are entering the third decade of the 21st. century, it's become apparent - to me anyway - that even since lockdown how the pace of change has accelerated yet further still, hurling us headlong into a virtual contactless only way of going on; at a time in history, perversely, when most of us are craving more human interaction, not less.
Thank God then for pen and paper. Even in 2020 I still write things down: diary (yes, I still keep a pocket diary); lists, notes to myself, doodling - all are all done with my humble pen.
And my pen of choice? A Bic four in one biro, of course. The immensely satisfying staccato clicking between the different colours is as pleasurable for the user as it is annoying for anyone else within ear shot. I've been using them for years and see no reason to change horses now. Parkers may come and Papermates may go, but give a me a Bic any day. With a vast choice of barrel livery (as you can see I'm currently using a 'silver' one) and permutation of ink colours, what's not to like?
I think one of the reasons I love this particular writing implement is that it's a throwback to when sales assistants in hardware shops would have them sticking out of their top pockets; when, despite a total lack of health & safety, the world was still a safer place. In every respect. The Bic four colour biro - today's object.
However, I've just seen the future: the Bic 3+1 with mechanical pencil. I want one! Tomorrow's (World) object!

|David - he's colour blind|
At our most recent compact and bijou Vinyl Session (the one before lockdown), being a huge fan of Be Bop Deluxe, he played Futurama - their second album from 1975. Last Friday night when we discussed rebooting the sessions again, I asked David to tell me in 200 words why Be Bop Deluxe are his favourite band of all time.
And no, he didn't use the dreaded phrase Wakefield's finest; however, I did have to edit out at least five uses of the word genius; well, maybe two. Only kidding, David! But your shirt is still salmon pink.
"The reason I have always been enamoured by Be-Bop Deluxe, throughout my 40-odd years of being relatively sentient and capable of critique, is that they encapsulate perfectly all the things I love most about the rest of my favourite music. They are, for me, the absolute yard-stick of genius*.
Their prolific run of albums (five released between 1974 & 1978) is an absolute tour-de-force of song-writing, production, musicianship and downright inspired artistry.
Fronted by the sprite-like impresario Bill Nelson, the band were somehow able to contain his phenomenal guitar-playing, cool stage-presence, magical lyricism and innovative production techniques to come up with a sound that was as complex, unique, and relentless as it was loud.
Be-Bop Deluxe were simply the epitome of the heart-thudding excitement that good music induces; always so deliciously upbeat and able to use their breath-taking creativity to transport the listener to other worlds and sensitivities; like watching a movie. And the way their multi-layered productions included brass bands, guitars, synthesisers, horns and, of course, Bill Nelson’s virtuoso axe wielding, means there is always something new to discover. Even now.
Be-Bop Deluxe really did show how awe-inspiring, uplifting, artistic and, yes, clever putting together sounds and talent to make music can be."
* I kept one in!

Are you able to write 200 words on your favourite band or artist? If so, you could be next up in the feature I'm already calling Be Bop Friday. Please do get in touch.

I love a sleazy guitar riff. The kind Keith Richards used to play on early Stones records*. The kind of riffs that emanate from smoke filled speakeasies; on the wrong side of the tracks; late at night; very late at night. Even in these crazy days; especially in these crazy days - I'm sure there are lockdown clubs where you go down a dimly lit flight of steps, give a 'secret knock' and, with a conspiratorial glance up to street level, you are quickly ushered in by what appears to be nothing more than a shadow. From lockdown to lock-in.
And this would be the sound that greeted you; this would be the tune being played at full tilt. With the bass turned up so loud you can feel it through your chest.
Natural Child - She Got a Mind (2012)
And if you're an advocate of Ozark you'll know it as the soundtrack to when Ruth (played by Julia Garner) auditions for the stripper job at Lickety Splitz**. I did say it was sleazy, didn't I?
* The kind he nicked off Bo Diddley.
** Spoiler alert. If you know Ruth Langmore, you'll know this scene doesn't end well for the club owner.

This morning at 10.30am will see the long overdue publication of the Russia Report. The fact that Johnson and Cummings are in it up to their scrawny little necks is a given; we don't need a 50,000 word dossier to tell us we have one of the most corrupt governments in modern history. Or maybe we do. My faith in due political process is being pushed to new limits every day. Each day brings with it a cavalcade of fresh horrors that are quickly relegated to tomorrow's chip wrappers when yet more dead cats are thrown into proceedings. But this isn't the time or place* to throw shit around; like a lot of people I may have become more politically attuned since 2016 (everything was broken by the Brexit referendum), but save for the odd outburst I try to park my political views; which is not always easy.
Moving on, here's a link to a rather tasty Soviet mix from the Number One Son: three shin-kicking tunes that, remarkably, all carry the line 'Discussions with Russians'. Very timely, James! The song that opens proceedings is the first single ever released on the Stiff record label from the self proclaimed Jesus of Cool.
Beat Happening - I Love You (1985)
Nick Lowe - So it Goes (1976)
I'm afraid tracks 2 and 3 that make up the playlist - great though they are - are both acts I know precious little about. Maybe James can shed some light on them...

I was contacted recently by a like minded soul on Twitter who asked me if I'd be interested in joining a psychogeography group he was setting up in the area. Why not I thought? I love cities, urban walking, architecture, photography, and generally seeking out life's flip side - so what's not to like? I've added my name to their online forum where there was a bit of a digital meet and greet, ahead of hooking up in person and discussing, in a pub - probably, the direction of travel for this most interesting and unusual of groups.
The term psychogeography, I must confess, is kind of new new to me (even though it was coined back in 1955) and there are, as you might expect, a million and one definitions. However, the one I like best, the one I think neatly describes this fascinating intersection of psychology and geography: "A whole toy box full of playful, inventive strategies for exploring cities... just about anything that takes pedestrians off their predictable paths and jolts them into a new awareness." Yep, I can relate to that. I'll keep you posted.

The recent passing of Jack Charlton was a sad loss not only to the world of football, but also to the world of playing cards. Let me explain. We Medds are inveterate card players; as soon as we're able to count, a place is set for us at the table and somebody deals us in.
When James was growing up and living at home he played many, many hands of Rummy, Newmarket, Predictions with friends & family, and could hold his own from a very early age.
One of the packs of cards we used depicted badly drawn footballers - we often wondered if the artist even knew who Gary Lineker was - and it soon became our default deck.
A number of catchphrases built up around several of these these hapless artist impressions: whenever Jack Charlton(a humble Two of Clubs) came out of the deck, it was met with a derisory 'Jack? He'll win you jack!' Nobby Stiles simply: 'Nobby lad!'
David Beckham, on the other hand, was quite literally the ace in the pack. Lay down the Ace of Hearts and a shout of 'Becksy's out the pen' would drown out many a game.
But now Jack joins the list of those in the pack sadly no longer with us - George Best, Bobby Moore, Stanley Matthews...
Football playing cards. Today's object.
Speaking of George Best:

It's only Thursday and already this week I've had two back-to-back nights of lockdown dreams; my first since it began nearly four months ago. I'm usually a good sleeper as well, so dreaming of social distancing is not what I go to bed for, can I just tell you. I even got up at 3am a couple of nights ago just to break the cycle. I went downstairs, put the kettle on and read a couple of chapters of my book. (Then again, I'm currently reading Kafka - perhaps that's not helping?) Maybe tonight I'll dream about the Surfrajettes instead.

The 1959 Fender Stratocaster you see non-Hank playing is the first Strat to have made its way to these shores from America. Originally finished in Fiesta Red (though Hank Marvin always said it was more Flamingo Pink), this film, for the record, can confirm that it was actually Battleship Grey. It now belongs in the custody of Bruce Welch.

The glasses cases - one pictured here - are what I call the Toblerone type: triangular. They also have a magnetic lid and, as you can see, fold flat; so easy to put in my inside pocket. The cases I use - made by Lindberg - date from when I used to wear their glasses. The cases that all my subsequent glasses have come in are nowhere near as robust, so I've stuck with my trusty Toblerone. Today's object.
I tweeted about my new bins here. Similar to my last pair (in my profile pic), but they're yellow on the inside. And on the top. But you'll only see the yellow if you stand over me. It's the little things in life.

We know 2020 has been the year from hell; a year we'd all like to forget. And we're only just past half way; who knows what fresh horrors await us between now and New Year's Eve? If you're looking for a silver lining - of which there are precious few - then we should count ourselves lucky we have Ben Folds among us. Why's that, I hear you cry. Well, Ben Folds has, without any fuss or sense of mawkishness, neatly written and recorded what we're all thinking right now and encapsulated the year to date; and it all clocks in at under three minutes; now that's what I call songwriting. However, don't take this the wrong way Ben, but I'm praying we never have to call on your services again. Although a plague of locusts surely can't be far away.
Ben Folds - 2020 (2020)

(And thank you to Rol for pointing me in the direction of this)
While I'm here, I thought I'd drop another of Ben's tunes in. In the 10 years I've been writing this nonsense I can't believe I've never talked about this track before. When Folds released his Songs for Silverman album in 2005 there were, for me, two absolute standout tracks on it: 'Jesusland' which made #2 on the UK charts, and this masterpiece which was criminally overlooked at the time. 'Landed' can be filed under Songs I'd run back into a burning building for. Note to self, double check breathing apparatus in broom cupboard.

In 1977 John Noakes, Blue Peter's most unlikely Action Man, was about to climb Nelson's Column in London's Trafalgar Square - without a safety harness and wearing nothing more than a car coat and a pair of flares. His mission - to help clean pigeon guano off Nelson's noggin.
I must confess I've been looking for an excuse to show this classic bit of footage for ages. And what better way to shoehorn it in to my blog than to include my actual Blue Peter badge - the one I received as a competition runner-up in 1968, c/w a signed letter from the show's producer, Biddy Baxter. It's been sitting in a 'badge box' (not to be confused with a badger box) full of all my old punk pins - Generation X, Buzzcocks, Radio Stars et al - for donkey's years. So I'm pleased to elevate it, finally, to treasured status. It is my fourth object.
The non-Shep related quote below is taken from Noakes' IMDb page. It's from the commentary he overdubbed on to the film afterwards; as opposed to the ongoing nervous dialogue he's having with his appointed sherpa, and the BBC camera man during his assent (both of whom are also wearing precisely the same amount of PPE as Noakes i.e. bugger all).
"At this level, the plinth on which Nelson stands overhangs the column. I found myself literally hanging from the ladder with nothing at all beneath me."

|If you could say it in words there'd be no reason for mugs|
Thankfully, I think it's safe to say, I can date the 10 objects in this series with a fairly high level of accuracy without the need for such technology.
In the case of today's show and tell I think it's pretty much beyond doubt exactly how old it is, and indeed where it's from: you've just got to look at it. A visit to Tate Modern in the summer of 2004 to see the magnificent Hopper exhibition was the backdrop for a perfect day out in the capital. Ah, train journeys to London; remember them? I can't wait to see John Betjeman at St. Pancras again and tap him on the shoulder.
At the risk of making me sound like a crazed loner I need to tell you that I only use it on Saturdays and Sundays; coffee only. I have mugs a plenty for use in the week; mainly, though not exclusively, for tea. But not Hopper. Oh no, not Hopper. He's a weekend mug. And a coffee mug. Today's object.

I love a scarf; I have a bit of a thing for them. From my Tootal silk scarves to the lovely wooly one my daughter-in-law knitted a couple of winters ago, they all sit in an orderly pile* at the bottom of my wardrobe.
Today's object can be found in amongst them. When my pop sadly passed away in 1983 his estate comprised nothing more than a few pound notes stuffed under the mattress and a modest bank book. Doreen, his second wife, was therefore left enough readies to pay the rent for the next couple of months and not a lot else. Before she took his clothes to the charity shop she asked me if there was anything I'd like. Quick as a flash I said 'That scarf' pointing to the coat hooks in the hallway. Pop's favourite scarf - the one he'd worn for years - hung on a peg looking every bit alone as Doreen would be in that already quiet house.
Nearly 40 years later and I wear it every winter. I'm proud to say it's never been washed and I'm sure I can still smell his scent on it.
As a bonus to today's post you can see another object on display here (#2A!); that's right, the vintage coat hanger. This too has been in my procession for more years than I care to remember: liberated by my dad from the Bonnington Hotel in London's West End sometime in the 60s, this hanger, despite having endured upwards of a dozen house moves, is still holding up; a coat hanger amongst coat hangers!

I've been listening to recent reruns of the excellent Radio 4 series A History of the World in 100 Objects. It's a history of humanity through a myriad of man made objects of ancient art, industry, technology, and arms dating back to 9000BC. This amazing programme is presented by Neil McGregor from the British Museum who curates an incredible collection, and pulls in priceless artefacts as diverse as Hoa Hakananai's Easer Island Statue, relics from the Byzantine Empire, Moche warrior pots and a Japanese bronze mirror from the 12th century. A truly epic series broken down into one hundred 15 minute nuggets. Absolutely riveting. I can't recommend it highly enough.
I only wish I could say the same for this new mini series of my own. My Life in 10 Objects is, I've got to be honest with you, far from riveting. Seriously; I don't even know how I have the temerity to even mention the Director of the British Museum in the same sentence as this cheapskate version of Mr. McGregor's award winning series that took four years to research. But, hey, what are you gonna do?
My life on this planet, such that it is, has seen men walk on the moon, the Beatles, punk rock and more internet porn than you can shake a shitty stick at. So how does a child of the 60s condense nearly six decades of love, life and happiness (mostly) into a clutch of objects that probably wouldn't even fill an average size suitcase? Good question. The items I have chosen are a hotchpotch of the everyday mingled with stuff that I turn to only occasionally but are every bit as poignant/important to me. And no, I haven't got anything in there as mundane as my car (or even my car keys) or my phone or my favourite winter coat; though my list of also rans at the end of the series that didn't quite make the cut will include, I'm sure, all sorts of flotsam and jetsam that help make up my dodgy DNA.
Today's inaugural offering is an item that despite me knowing exactly where in the house it resides, I tend to only seek it out when I allow my mind to wander; specifically when it wanders back to one of my earliest exposures to television. So between Watch with Mother (when I'd be around five) and Doctor Who (I was all of seven when I first encountered Patrick Troughton) came Captain Scarlet. Quite how the colours of all the characters who worked for Spectrum were ever conveyed through the medium of a black and white telly is something of a mystery, but as a very impressionable six year old I'm convinced I could see that Captain Scarlet was indeed wearing a shiny red uniform and that Captain Blue's was, er, blue. It must have had something to do with all the merchandise around at the time - TV21 comics, action figures and the like.
Pride of place in my 1967 bedroom, however, was given over to a Spectrum wallet. Pictured here you can see it came in a striking scarlet livery and, most importantly, contained a driving licence (a full ten years before I got behind the wheel of my Vauxhall Viva), permitting me to drive both a Spectrum Patrol Car (the sporty red one) and a Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle (SPV - the one you drove whilst facing backwards). I probably wasn't cognisant of the fact that opportunities to drive such vehicles in Kingston-upon-Hull in the mid-1960s were few and far between; but that didn't shake the notion in my mind that I could walk into a back street petrol station, show my licence to the owner who would then point me in the direction of a dilapidated out building wherein would be parked one of the above mentioned vehicles. Equally important information was contained within this magical document too: a short Bio of each spectrum member beneath a passport style photo. Scarlet, for instance, was actually Paul Metcalfe in real life; not surprisingly he hasn't even been born yet - his date of birth is given as December 17, 2036 in Winchester, England.
Funnily enough I've dug this wallet out more times during the last three months than I have my 'real' wallet; it still contains the same tenner in there and trusty pieces of plastic that I went into lockdown with.

This week, you'll meet Hilary "Hils" Cheyne. She's a British web developer and an instructor of online Joomla! Fast Track Training Course at LVS Associates.
She's also involved in the Alltogetherasawhole.org site, as well as an active contributor to the recently launched Joomla Community Magazine.
Join me as we get to know Hils a little better.
Hey Hilary, please tell the readers a little about yourself - where you're from and where you spend your time.
I'm a Brit!, originally from the North West of England. Pre-internet days used to mean 'home was where the work was' so having lived in London, Aberdeen and in between and being an internet early adopter, now I am able to work from my home studio on the edge of a National Nature Reserve in Norfolk UK.
How did you first get in contact with Joomla!?
Via Mambo – someone at a Dog Show said casually that they had a friend who had developed a commercial CMS (.asp). I hadn't a clue what CMS meant so I did my research and made the best decision of my web life. I can still remember the fork and deciding to follow the Developers to Joomla!; to follow those whose vision I trusted. It was a big decision at the time – on a par with deciding to choose css/html rather than tables for flat websites!
What are the extensions you recommend and use and why?
In common with many other Joomla! Users: Joomla! Content Editor, NinjaXplorer, jSecure, Akeeba Backup and Update Manager go into every site of course but all other extensions are added depending on the type of site. Being a Trainer, I have testing sites where I 'play' with many extensions but I do keep a careful watch on the Joomla! VEL (Vulnerable Extensions List) as well as subscribing to the JED Recently Updated feed – and Twitter.
You've been with the project since the Mambo days.
How is the Joomla project different today than it was when you started?
This is difficult to answer as my own perspective has changed dramatically. I began as a self-taught, excited user with very little Community involvement and now I am starting to learn how to pay back for all those years of 'free ride' and learning what 'Community' means. So the honest answer is that I don't know because I wasn't involved in Community back in those days.
What attracted me to Joomla! initially was that I could create powerful web sites without knowing PHP. Since the beginning, Joomla! has become more and more powerful and as I have stayed and learned, using Joomla! is part of whom I am.
I saw on your website that you teach by having students create a full website.
Please tell us a little bit about your teaching concept and why this works so well.
Student 'focus' is the main reason for creating a full website with all content provided. The course was designed this way after years of watching students, in other online courses, spending more time wondering what to write about and what images to add rather than actually learning the subject!
I was fortunate to work with a brilliant teacher, Vikki Brooks of LVSOnline, for several years in the CSS Advanced Positioning Class. That is where I learned how people learn, what people need from an Online Course and how to deliver sometimes complex information in an easily digestible format.
The course of six pdf lessons and virtual classroom access is designed to teach the basics of Joomla! 1.5 to new Joomla! Users. At the beginning of the course full illustrated step-by-step how-tos are provided, but as the lessons progress, students are gently encouraged out into the Joomla! World so that they know how to move forward with their own work after the course ends.
Teaching Joomla!, a subject I love, is a privilege. Very few things can beat witnessing the excitement new users show when they begin to understand the power of Joomla! and the ease with which they can make a good looking, functional website with no coding knowledge at all.
You've recently joined the Joomla Community Magazine team - what made you sign up for that and how has the experience been so far?
I have always written in one form or another so when I saw the new Magazine Project announced at ATAAW it seemed to be the perfect way for me to get involved. This lead to helping to form Team EaSE (Extensions and Services Evaluations) in February 2010. Not only is the subject extremely interesting but being able to work with such a fabulous team of Joomla! Professionals continues to be a very special experience for me.
Another project you're a part of, is the upcoming Joomla movie project. A very exciting project, I must say. Can you tell us a bit about how this came about and why you're involved?
I was seeing other FOSS projects producing great promotional work and, with the encouragement of ATAAW, a call was put out to gauge interest in producing a professional movie short for Joomla!, using the professionals that we all know are part of our Community. The response has been amazing! Expertize, scripts, ideas – all came flowing in.
The original idea has now become a series of movies promoting Joomla! following the initial Happy 5th Birthday Joomla! Movie which currently has at least 27 countries and languages involved. All produced by the Joomla! Community as a present for Joomla!.
What else do you do – apart from being a Joomla addict?
There are two other projects I am involved in. One is helping to ensure the survival of an ancient and endangered breed of dog, The Dandie Dinmont Terrier, and the other involves a start-up company licensing IP for an innovative Advanced Position Sensor (Beam Deflector).
For leisure my tastes are simple. If I was given fabulous food & wines on a boat gently drifting at dusk with the sounds of nature settling down for the night, I could happily float off into the sunset!
Anything else you want to share with the JoomlaBlogger readers?
Encouragement to get involved with Joomla! It is a Community project, our project. Look for a place where you can contribute – the Bug Squad? the Joomla! Community Magazine? The Joomla! Forums? The Joomla! Documentation Wiki? The Joomla! People Site? The benefits to you will be massive and for those already involved – thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing yuour thoughts with us, Hils - and good luck on the Joomla! Movie project!

Today was a mournful day. Every morning I go grab coffee at a local coffee shop called Jitters, which has been around Redmond much longer than I have: 22 years to my 14. But now they’ve had to close their location (a repurposed bank building) and haven’t been able to find a new place.
When I set out to make the glass garden flowers for Mom, I found plenty of pictures but very few tutorials. So here’s a walkthrough of the process, which should illustrate one important thing about these: they’re not a last minute project. The paint takes time to dry, as does the adhesive, which you will need to do in at least two stages.
We’ve (as in two humans, two cats, a briefly lived betta, and assorted temporary insects) lived in this space since 2001. While I’ve decluttered and cleaned before, cruft inevitably creeps in. An odd little ball colored red, white, and blue. Countless keys. Sharpies in a rainbow of colors. Twists and ties and clips. Twenty years after my D&D days, there’s still a few polyhedrals rolling around.
Many things have memories attached, and discarding the object sometimes feels like discarding the memory. The paperweight I bought in Prague while traveling to train Eastern Europeans about network security software. A tin butterfly from our time in Mexico when I was a child. The sequinned baby shoes I use as a prop in the flash class. I feel as though if I put them aside I may lose the thing that triggers the memory.
While I’m not ditching everything, a lot of these are getting digitized.
One of Mom’s presents this year was a set of garden flowers made from odd plates and dishes. These were a lot of fun to assemble, and I want to, over the course of the next few months, make a set that goes across the problematically shady front section of her house. Combined with the tulips and irises, that should fill things out and add both color and a touch of individuality.
I’d gotten the idea from seeing them on Pinterest. I did do some picking through thrift stores to find odd bits of china, but also used some pieces I’d gathered over the years. It seemed like a nice way to carry out the decluttering mission, but preserve some of those memories. I augmented some pieces with glass or metallic spray paint and glued on glass pebbles, marbles, and other odd bits. The fixative for all of this is Marine Goop, which you can find on Amazon.
One of the things 2014 is bringing is all sorts of interesting and awesome changes, but part of that is a need to trim down drastically. So I’ve been going through my books getting ready to sell a lot of them. Many are from teen years, college, or grad school. Some sparked stories, or were gifts, or were written by people I respect and admire and sometimes love. Some are signed. Some have notes jotted in them. Some were books that changed my life.
Here’s five gifts for the writer on your list (even if it’s yourself).
I’m going to be experimenting with including some guest content on my blog, primarily authors talking about their books. If you’re interested in participating in that, please drop me a line. Here author C.M. Michaels talks about the necessary components of critique groups.

Home organizers recommend that the edge additional items can be used to decorate a cap box or a social affair of shoe boxes and make inside a guest room closet as connecting with and stand-out as the room.

I’m going to have an ultra busy day today, but just wanted to write a note that Wednesday thru Friday of this week I’ll be doing a mini-blog series on what NOT to do when querying an agent/editor.
This will feature little tips I’ve learned along the way, as well as horrendous mistakes I myself have made. And yes, I’ll even post my personal examples. You know how they say to learn from your mistakes? Well, I’ll give you a chance to learn from MY mistakes before you make them yourself!
Now that you’re just giddy with excitement (and I know this is from the prospect of learning how to avoid mistakes and not at the idea of being able to laugh at mine…right?), I’ll leave you one of my current favorite Bible verses–which changes daily, but since I’m currently in edit/edit mode, this fits well!
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge. But he who hates correction is stupid. Proverbs 12:1
THANKS to all you WONDERFUL people who added to my ‘following’ list. I know there are still a few closet followers out there, you know who you are *grin* but I appreciate it! I’m about goals, so I’m at 7 currently…next goal is 10! | <urn:uuid:6735016a-2834-4e10-9e79-7198a2c4b129> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.kristaphillips.com/posts/opportunity-to-laugh-at-my-mistakes/ | 2023-09-28T18:03:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.943955 | 311 |

At a ceremony this morning in Washington, Mayor Eric Garcetti and Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky took part as Metro signed federal funding agreements that mean construction can begin later this year on the subway to La Cienega Avenue. You heard that right. The money is now in place to build the first phase of the Purple Line extension under Wilshire Boulevard, past Hancock Park and LACMA into Beverly Hills. "As public transit milestones go, they don’t get much bigger than this," Yaroslavsky posted on his blog. "The $2 billion commitment...is truly an historic moment for our region."
From Metro's The Source blog:
Officials from Metro and the Federal Transit Administration signed a pair of agreements this morning in Washington D.C. for a $1.25-billion federal grant and a $856-million federally-backed loan to build the first phase of the Purple Line Extension subway under Wilshire Boulevard. We’ll post video of this morning’s event later.
The agreements clear the way for construction activities to begin later this year on the 3.9-mile addition to the Purple Line, which currently terminates at Wilshire Boulevard and Western Avenue. The first phase of the project will extend the line to the intersection of Wilshire and La Cienega Boulevard in Beverly Hills. Three new stations will be included in the first phase: at Wilshire and La Brea Avenue, Wilshire and Fairfax Avenue and Wilshire and La Cienega.
The first phase of the project is scheduled for completion in 2023 with a project budget of $2.821 billion. The Metro Board of Directors is scheduled this summer to select a contractor to build the first phase. The subway is one of 12 transit projects funded in part by the Measure R half-cent sales tax increase approved by more than two million voters in Los Angeles County in 2008 (the measure passed with 67.93 percent approval).
Utility relocations are already underway on the first phase and a 75-foot-deep exploratory shaft has already been dug across the street from LACMA in order to validate and learn more about soil conditions in that area. A number of fossils were found, identified and preserved during the excavation of the shaft.
The disputed leg you keep hearing about, under Beverly Hills High School to Century City, remains to be funded, along with the eventual phase three past Westwood and the 405 to the VA hospital campus. That latter phase is not expected to finish before 2036. So the reporters and radio hosts who keep gushing about the purported "subway to the sea" need to update a bit. There are no current plans in Los Angeles for any subway to any sea.
Metro also previously (* fixed: not today) secured $830 million for the Regional Connector underground train across downtown Los Angeles to link the Blue Line, Expo Line and Gold Line. | <urn:uuid:a73afbea-9756-4d58-bf7d-7277373f68da> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.laobserved.com/archive/2014/05/21_billion_means_purple_l.php | 2023-09-28T17:06:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.942081 | 590 |

Arcadia Falls by Carol Goodman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
It’s an entertaining mystery - a good summer read. Loved the setting.
But who finds a mysterious journal and then just takes months to read it?!?
Since “changeling” and identity are part of the story, I guessed one major reveal fairly early and was frustrated that the narrator hadn’t figured it out herself. Also, what happened to her own parents? The way they were barely mentioned felt very YA to me.

Once again we have made it through another tournament season. Muskegon Lake came alive, at least with wind and rain for the State Championship that kept the big lake closed both days. The weather forecast for Friday night had the waves subsiding from 7-9’s down to 5-7 footers. Both mornings, small craft warnings were in effect by the Coast Guard which helped to direct the decision to close access to Lake Michigan. Phil Jones earned himself the title of State Champion with a two-day catch of nine fish that weighed in at 20.38 pounds. Congratulations to everyone that made the team, it was hard earned by all. Going into the second day the cut was 5.28 pounds, which effectively kept everyone in the hunt for one of the thirteen spots to make the trip to Ontairo’s Georgian Bay in September 2023.
By the banquet clubs had to have designated their five person teams that would be fishing for club weight. The top three clubs for the event were: Western Michigan Bassmasters with a team weight of 28.24 pounds, Macatawa Bay Bass Club with 27.24 pounds and Red Cedar Bassmasters with 25.54 pounds. For those that were able to stick around may remember second and third being flipped when announced. This was due to a weight not being counted which should have been counted for Macatawa Bay Bass Club. Congratulations to these clubs for there effort and catch over the two days. An improvement in reporting of the club weights will be made for next year. Clubs will be provided a form to will fill out prior to submitting your team weight. What this will do is to standardize what we get from everyone and I feel that will make things better, or at least easier for the people having to do the review.
Randy VanDam (D&R Sports) and Pat Kleppert (Ranger Boats) were each able to bring a Ranger boat to the banquet which made for an impressive entrance into the facility. Pat brought a Ranger 185 which is being raffled off by Ranger at their June 2023 dealers meeting (need not be present to win) to establish a college fund in Mike James name. Anyone interested in tickets should contact Pat. Dave Vorderburg (Dave-White Chevrolet) was also on hand for the entire event and helped out as he had done all season for the Classic Series. Without the support of them and the rest of the MBCF sponsors we would not be where we are today.
Pat and John spoke at the banquet while the club changes were being made from each of the teams by Burnadette. Speaking of changes in rosters, everyone needs to be reminded that again this year that was a hold up in getting the parings announced. Individual clubs come in with just a couple of changes and think that it is no problem. What they are forgetting is multiply that by the 30-40 clubs that each have a couple of changes and it is now around half the field!
How can we make that part of the diner bateau mouche better? There have been some suggests to establish a cut off date for changes. Teams that have made their changes prior to that date would be rewarded by being put into the earlier flights, and those teams that had a change (even if only one change) after the cut-off would be put into a draw after the people without changes. Another idea was to charge each club an additional set fee for the event. Then, after the tournament is over to reward those clubs that had no changes by splitting that pot among only them. The idea of a cut for the second day was also brought up again. It was suggested to take the top 120 people (60 boats) for day two. The feeling was that consistency in a multiple day event is just as important as well a single good day. I am sure that there are other ideas or some combination of ideas that you may have that have not been brought up yet.
I think that everyone will agree that the banquet this year was a significant improvement to what we have had in the past. Everyone needs to thank Dave Elmblad who lives in that area for his help in doing the scouting to find the location and some lodging sites. When someone comes forward to say that “I know of a good spot to hold the banquet” that is a big help compared to going in blind trying to find everything out on your own. Each year the State Championship seems to be better than the last, and I hope that with more suggests from you next years will even be that much better.
NEW BOATING ACCESS SITE ON LAKE ST. CLAIR

DNR OPENS NEW BOATING ACCESS SITE ON LAKE ST. CLAIR
LANSING–Michigan Department of Natural Resources officials today announced the opening of a new boating access site at L’Anse Creuse Bay on Lake St. Clair near Mount Clemens. The new Clinton River Cutoff Boating Access Site will have
three skid piers capable of launching boats up to 35 feet in length into the freshly dredged channel. A modern restroom facility also will be available next spring for the convenience of launch ramp users.
“Southeast Michigan was in need of better access to the substantial boating and fishing waters provided by Lake St. Clair, and this launch fulfills part of that need for boaters,” said Rodney Stokes, DNR Parks and Recreation Bureau Chief.
Lake St. Clair offers anglers an abundance of fishing opportunities, including walleye, northern pike, muskie, smallmouth and largemouth bass, yellow perch, and other species. To get to the launch site, take I-94 to exit 236 (MetroBeach Highway) and go to Crocker Blvd. Turn right and go to Jefferson. Turn right (south) and go about two miles to the access site on the left. Admittance to the launch will cost $4 for a daily pass, or $24 for an annual pass.

Belated Thanks, Ralph !
Ralph Blasey, Environmental Director for the Avid Bass Anglers of Michigan, responded admirably last summer to our alert regarding the public meeting on the Pickeral Lake Access Site closure threat. He and his 16 year-old son attended the meeting on August 14 and were joined by only one other supporter for improvement of the site. The other 40 or so speakers were opposed to improvements, preferring instead to shut the access to boaters and allow swimmers, etc. to continue dominating the site.
Ralph then sent an e-mail to all federation members reviewing the situation and asking for help through a letter writing/e-mail/telephone campaign to the DNR. He delivered seven letters to the DNR from us, including one from Bruce Shupp, International Conservation Director. It was enough to avoid such a dangerous precedent. Some improvements are scheduled for the site and it will remain open.
Fisherman’s Landing at Muskegon Lake May Move, In 2023
Rumors were flying recently about Fisherman’s Landing; was it being sold for development as a commercial shipping port? Was the best tournament site in that part of the state just going to disappear? Was the city selling us out? I contacted the person who could give me the answers, Ric Scott, Director of Leisure Services in Muskegon. Ric’s job is to oversee recreational development in the city, and he explained the situation. The end of the lake where the ramp is has been designated a “port zone” for some time. Two different parties have talked with the city about acquiring the site to develop it into a port, and consequently, the city looked into options for “converting” (moving) the ramp to a different location. On January 28 the City Commission will make a decision on whether to move the ramp or not. If they choose to move it, the plans and funds are in place to expand Hartshorn Marina (located mid-lake on the south side) to accommodate as much parking, including expansion to 15 launching slips. Mr. Scott assures me they do not wish to discourage us or any other boaters, but in fact would provide an improved site. He added that the site would probably have more congestion, due to the existing marina, but in the end would probably be better, overall. If the commission approves changing the location, the existing ramp would not be closed until the new one is ready, probably in the spring of 2023. Nothing will change at the ramp in 2022. I’ll keep you posted as this issue develops.
Partnership Agreement with DNR Nears Reality
On December 17 Dennis Beltz and I met with DNR representatives in the Mason Building in Lansing to finalize the language in the draft partnership agreement. John Schrouder, Bill Boik and Gary Towns reviewed the document with us and very few changes were made, mostly for language clarification. The document is now being sent to the appropriate division chiefs for their approval and signatures. John and Bill will join us at the February meeting to let us know what is happening in Fisheries and Recreation Divisions, and hopefully we’ll have the signed document at that time. This landmark partnership will mean greater cooperation and coordination between DNR and the BASS Federation, something that can only help us in our bass interests in the future.
Many Federation members have asked, "How do I start a new club? The following are the steps to take when forming a new club.
Call B.A.S.S. at 334 272-9530 and ask for the Federation Department, then ask for all information required to register and form a new club.
After the information packet arrives read the information, follow the instructions. It will cost $15.00 a person to register your new club with B.A.S.S. and they will send confirmation that your club is registered.
Now your club wants to join the Michigan Bass Federation, Inc.

Indicate the President and Secretary.
M.B.F.I. dues are $15.00 per member.
With you B.A.S.S. confirmation, a roster, and dues you can send it to the board member that handles membership or you bring all of the same information to a presidents meeting.
Some points of information: There are 4 presidents meetings a year Oct. Dec. Feb. and April. Rosters and dues are due at the Dec. meeting. To be eligible for the State Championship a club must be represented at 2 of the 4 presidents meetings.
Membership and By-Laws
Of the State B.A.S.S. Federations, Michigan is the only one that has a scholarship program established for our members and their families. Established January 11, 1981 and named the Lew Borer Jr. Scholarship after the long time Michigan Federation Member. Through the years clubs within the State of Michigan have continued to contribute money to this fund, and the Michigan Federation made a bylaw change to donate a significant percentage of the money received from the yearly boat raffle. Started with $1,100.00 in 1981 when the Michigan Team to the Northern Divisional Tournament donated their winnings to establish the fund. Scholastic awards shall be granted from interest earned over the previous 12 months.
The application deadline is July 31 each year. By December 31 of that year, applicants will be notified as to the committee’s decision.
Complete Scholarship By-laws with-in MBCF By-Laws.
The following information has been developed to help the individual and the Club to become aware of the activities of the Federation. Please use this "handbook? As a source of information. There will be an updated Board of Directors Roster annually.
The Federation will financially assist clubs with their youth projects. To qualify for assistance, each club must send a letter to the Youth Director with a written description of the project and the amount of the requested money, by or before the April President’s meeting. The Board will review each request for it’s merits in educating and teaching the youth and that it adheres to the Federation goals and objectives for the preservation of bass fishing.
The monies will be awarded at the April President’s meeting.
For additional information contact the Federation President.
HOW TO CHANGE ADDRESS, ADD OR DELETE MEMBERS
The Federation maintains a master file of each member and each club. It is the responsibility of each club, to provide accurate up-to-date information regarding its members. It is extremely important that all address changes be communicated to the Federation. The information that is needed is:
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
The Federation purchases a liability insurance policy for the Federation sponsored tournaments. These tournaments include: the six Classic qualifying tournaments, the Classic, and the Championship. This insurance attempts to protect the Federation from damages caused during one of these tournaments. It does cover the damages caused by a contestant to non-tournament property. It does not cover the damages caused by one contestant to another during the event.
As described in the Tournament Rule No. 23, it is the responsibility of each boat owner to supply proof of liability insurance to the tournament officials.
If a contestant fishes the Divisional Tournament or the National Championship Tournament, B.A.S.S. will require a specific amount of liability insurance for each boater. The Federation liability insurance does not meet the B.A.S.S. requirements for individual liability insurance. Therefore additional coverage may be necessary. Each contestant must read the B.A.S.S. Tournament Rules very carefully.
CONSERVATION AND LEGISLATIVE CONCERNS
The Federation is dedicated to the preservation of our fishing resources. We recognize that to protect the waters and streams, it becomes the responsibility of everyone. To assist the State and local agencies in their attempt to pass laws., prosecute violators, and put public pressure in those areas that may jeopardize these resources, the Federation has a committee in place. This committee is in regular contact with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Michigan United Club (MUCC), and many State Legislators. We will offer our assistance and input in those issues relating to the protection of our waterways. We will bring to public attention those violators, and we will use our membership to bring pressure to help pass laws to protect our interest.
Any member with a concern or a possible violator, should contact the Chairman of this committee:
The Michigan B.A.S.S. Chapter Federation, Inc., will be governed by a Board of Directors composed of twelve (12) members. The primary goal of the Michigan B.A.S.S. Chapter Federation, Inc., shall be to preserve the sport of bass fishing.

Entry fees for each person entered are due with the application. Refund of entrance fee will be made only if proper notification is made to the Michigan Bass Federation Tournament Headquarters prior to the deadline.
There will be a registration meeting the evening prior to the first day of competition. The time and place will be announced by the tournament committee. There will be a team captains’ meeting at least one hour prior to the registration meeting to finalize the teams. Each competitor must register in person, at the time and place prescribed. Failure to register in person during the prescribed hours shall result in disqualification. NO EXCEPTIONS.
IV. PAIRING OF CONTESTANTS:
Two contestants will be assigned to each boat. Whenever possible, no contestants from the same club, city, or chapter will be paired, nor shall two competitors fish together more than one day. Announcement of pairing for both days will take place at the registration meeting. It shall be the responsibility of each partner to appear at a mutually agreed-upon location with sufficient time remaining to check-out at the official check-point and start on time. Tournament officials shall have no responsibility for finding missing partners. It is suggested that a minimum of 30 minutes is adequate for preparation to depart to the check-out point. When two contestants check out at the beginning of the day, they must stay together and within sight of each other and each other’s catch throughout the day until the weigh-in is completed. A contestant must not allow any bass caught by him/her to be counted on the score of any other contestant. Both contestants will be disqualified. None of the above rules shall prohibit a properly designated tournament official from approaching or boarding any competitor’s boat at any time during the “warm-up” period or during competition.
Safe boating must be observed at all times, by all tournament competitors. Each competitor is required to wear a Coast Guard approved, chest type life preserver. This life preserver must be strapped, snapped, or zipped securely any time the combustion engine is running. Violation of the rule shall be grounds for immediate disqualification.

Maximum horsepower for all outboard motorboats used in a federation tournament shall not exceed the horsepower limitations set by the B.I.S./U.S. Coast Guard horsepower rating plate attached by the manufacturer. Each competitor agrees that the boat and motor used in the tournament may be inspected by factory trained personnel and/or tournament officials if there is any reason to suspect the horsepower is in excess of the rating. Normal maintenance to increase the performance of your engine is allowed. Changing or altering standard factory parts of your engine to increase the horsepower over the factory horsepower rating is forbidden. Falsifying information on entry forms, or altering the horsepower rating numbers on the motor or boat, would be grounds for immediate disqualification from M.B.C.F. tournaments.
VII. BOAT IDENTIFICATION:
Each boat may be given an inspection check by a tournament official prior to the start of each day. A numbered device will be given to each competitor which shall remain in the boat until turned in at each day’s weigh-in.

There will be an official two (2) day practice period immediately preceding the first day of the tournament. While on the lake during official practice and during the tournament, a competitor may not have the assistance or advice of a professional guide, state or federal wildlife agency employee, or any other person deemed “professional expert” on these tournament waters by the tournament committee. DURING THE PRACTICE PERIOD, A COMPETITOR MAY NOT FISH WITH, NOR ENTER THE TOURNAMENT WATERS WITH, ANYONE OTHER THAN ANOTHER COMPETITOR OR A MEMBER OF THE COMPETITOR’S OWN HOUSEHOLD WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR/CHAIRMAN. Each competitor agrees to report to the Tournament Officials any violation or infraction of these Tournament Rules. All practice fishing shall cease at 6:00 p.m. the evening prior to the start of the first day of tournament competitor. No tournament contestant shall be allowed on the tournament waters, for the purpose of locating fish, once competition has begun. However, this rule shall not be interpreted to prevent contestants from preceding by water to and from launch or docking facilities during the mornings prior to the start of competition or at the conclusion of each day’s competition.
VIII BOAT OPERATION:
A full discussion must be held between the two partners prior to a morning departure as to the schedule of boat operations. This schedule must permit each partner equal time to fish from the front of the boat, and to operate the trolling motor, so as to afford each partner the opportunity to fish his/her selected water an equal number of hours. Any contestant who, in the judgement of the officials, operates the boat in such a manner as to unfairly handicap his partner shall be disqualified. If you feel that you have had a “bad ride”, and that you have not had your fair share of fishing time, or location, you must make this protest to the tournament director, in writing, prior to signing your weigh-in slip.
X TACKLE & EQUIPMENT:
Artificial lures shall be used. Only one casting, spin-casting, or spinning rod may be used at any one time. No trolling will be allowed, however an electric motor may be used for slow maneuvering. The maximum length for any rod will be 8 feet, butt to tip. CB, marine radios, or mobile telephones are allowed for emergency use only during tournament hours.
XI OFFICIAL CHECKPOINT:
There shall be only one official point for check-out in the morning, and check-in in the afternoon. They will be announced at the pre-tournament meeting.
XII OFFICIAL CHECK-IN & FISHING LOCATIONS:
Official check-in is at least thirty minutes before tournament starts for boat owner and rider. Tournament starting and check-in times will be announced at the pre-tournament meeting. Contestants must check-in before the posted time. All contestants must start from the designated check-in area. Both competitors must remain in sight of each other’s catch, in order for their catch of the day to be scored in the tournament. Fishing on the tournament waters is permitted anywhere except within 50 yards of another competitor’s boat which was first anchored, with trolling motor up. An anchored boat may not block a narrow waterway. If you let one competitor’s boat within this 50 yard area, then you must let all competitors do so. OFF-LIMITS water so designated and posted by State, Federal, or announced by Tournament Officials must be honored by all competitors during official practice and competition. Failure to do so will be cause for disqualification.
XIII LEGAL FISH:
Largemouth and smallmouth bass minimum length of 14 inches in the longest straight line, with the mouth closed. A flat, straight rule will be used to determine the 14 inch length.
XIV DON’T KILL YOUR CATCH:
Each competitor is expected to keep his/her bass alive by use of a proper live well. All fish must be transported to the scales in designated fish weigh-in bags.
XV DEAD FISH:
For each legal bass weighed in dead, the competitor shall be penalized two ounces of weight (or 0.2 pounds depending on the scales used).
The final team standings shall be determined by the pound and ounce weight of each competitor’s catch during the tournament. The limit shall be (5) legal fish of the above species and varieties per day, or the Michigan State limit for each individual. Tournament officials may conduct checks for violations. In the event a competitor is found to have more than the above described limits in possession, the penalty shall be disqualification. Bass presented for weigh-in which fail to measure 14 inches shall accrue penalties at a rate of one pound for each short bass. The penalty shall be deducted from the total score of the contestant. Any bass that appears to have been mangled, mashed, mauled, or otherwise altered, will be weighted only at the discretion of tournament officials. Note: Culling down to a limit of fish must occur prior to the conclusion of fishing time. Culling shall not be done at the dock or weigh-in area.
In the event of a tie for any of the money winners, the monies shall be added and split evenly. Duplicate trophies, where applicable, will also be awarded. Example: first place tie, money from first and second place will be added and equally divided, two first place trophies will be awarded. The next award will be third place. Ties occur when both total weight and big bass weight are the same. In the case of a tie for last position for the Divisional Team determined from the State Championship Tournament, there will be a sudden death fish-off between the tied contestants under the direction of the Tournament Officials. Special rules for the sudden death fish-off will be established by the Tournament Officials.
XVIII STATE CHAMPIONSHIP:
State Championship standings will be determined by the pound-ounce system.
XVIIII STARTING TIME:
Safety is the only reason that the official tournament starting time will be delayed. Delays are at the discretion of the Tournament Director and the Tournament Committee.
You and your partner MUST check-in at the end of the fishing day, even if no fish were caught. Failure to check in may require a search for you and result in disqualification from the entire tournament. Emergency conditions will be up to the tournament committee. All contestants who check in late will be disqualified for the day only. LATE IS LATE, NO EXCEPTIONS!
Anyone accused of cheating will be brought before the Board of Directors of the Federation within thirty (30) days for a hearing, and if found guilty, will be suspended from M.B.C.F., for life and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
XXII TOURNAMENT OFFICIALS:
None of the above rules shall prohibit a properly designated tournament official from approaching or boarding any contestants boat at any time during the tournament.
XXIII RIDER’S FEE:
The rider’s fee shall be a minimum of $20.00 payable in advance to the boat owner unless otherwise agreed upon by both contestants.
During the official practice and competition days of any M.B.C.F. tournament no contestant may operate a boat unless that contestant has submitted documented proof of a minimum of $100,000 boating liability insurance to the M.B.C.F. Tournament Director. This documented proof must show an effective date and expiration date and must be received by M.B.C.F. on or before the application deadline date.
Each competitor must take the responsibility to report their anticipated absence from fishing at the second day of competition. Failure to report such absence in advance to the Tournament Director or Tournament Committee Chairman will be cause to disqualify the competitor from fishing the State Championship Tournament the following year.

MUSKEGON, MI. - Four youngsters from the River City Juniors Bass Club were amongst those named to the Michigan B.A.S.S. Chapter Federation Junior State Championship Team, Sunday, September 22nd, on Muskegon Lake, at the first-ever Michigan Junior State Championship.
Allen Goendyke, of the River City Juniors, weighed in two smallmouth bass at 2.08 and 3.98 pounds to be crowned the new Junior State Champion, while Tripper Johnson, of the South Central Bass Casters, brought 1 fish to the weigh-in, hitting the scales at 1.84 pounds to finish runner-up.

Your B.A.S.S. Chapter Federation partnering with MUCC
What are the benefits of our B.A.S.S. Chapter Federation affiliation with the Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC)?? Over the past couple years your Federation leadership has looked to answer this question and what has been realized as a result is only the beginning of the considerable opportunities that lie within the Federation and its chapters affiliating with the MUCC!
It is the mission of the Michigan United Conservation Clubs to Unite Citizens to Conserve Michigan’s Natural Resources and Protect OUR Outdoor Heritage. MUCC serves to create an alliance of the many different conservation organizations of different interests from hunting and fishing to hiking and boating for the common purpose of promoting the wise and scientific use of the natural resources we enjoy. Each individual organization, such as the B.A.S.S. Federation Chapters, is unique and prestigious in their own right, but bring to the table different values and ideas for the promotion, use, and protection of these resources. Through the collection of our affiliated clubs, the Michigan United Conservation Clubs proves an effective means of discussing and promoting the issues and concerns that are similar among these conservation groups.
Among the many benefits of MUCC, the Federation has drawn on the support of other conservation groups beyond bass anglers to largely increase your voice throughout the state. By nature, MUCC offers a network for the Michigan B.A.S.S. Chapters to bring your mission of promoting conservation through bass fishing to the table with these groups across the state - whether it be trout or walleye fisherman, or even hunters, trappers, or foresters.
PROMOTING YOUR IMAGE - This past June MUCC co-hosted with Michigan State University (MSU) the first annual OUTDOOR EXPO where people came from across the state to learn about the rich and diverse opportunities available for enjoying and sustaining our natural heritage. Here the Federation, as a partner of MUCC, was the face and voice to which attendees looked in learning our state’s opportunities in bass fishing. OUTDOORAMA is another of MUCC’s outdoor shows where the Federation has promoted its mission for many years, and the MICHIGAN OUT-OF-DOORS magazine, television, and radio show are opportunities lying in wait for promoting the joint efforts of the Federation as a partner of MUCC.
FISHERIES POLICY– As coolwater fishing regulations are reviewed through the coming year, the Federation will work with MUCC to seek out opportunities through the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) for improvements to the current coolwater regulations. The Federation has also been key in supporting the MUCC’s efforts toward an AQUATIC SPECIES CONSERVATION ACT which would codify 22 existing state laws under MDNR and Natural Resources Commission (NRC) authority. This is an important step toward achieving a catch-and-release/no harvest fishing season (an initiative of the Federation which was voted on and passed by MUCC as MUCC policy this past summer), but more critically, an assurance that fisheries management will continue to be based on sound science with decisions made by science professionals.
FISHING & BOATING ACCESS – Again the Federation, in crafting further MUCC policy, has reaffirmed MUCC’s continued efforts toward increasing fishing and boating access opportunities across our state’s public waters.
YOUTH FISHING – Again MUCC and the Federation have been active in coordinating activities through a statewide fisheries youth education initiative – PROJECT FISH – a partnership between MUCC and its sportfishing affiliates, MSU, MDNR, and 4-H Youth Programs. This initiative has great potential in promoting existing Federation programs, such as CASTING KIDS, and has further opportunities in creating long-term involvement of youth with the Federation.
MUCC policy and initiatives are driven by its membership. MUCC policy is set by vote of our membership, but also a good deal of MUCC’s work is done through the MUCC Fisheries Committee. Incorporating the Federation in the MUCC decision making process - whether it be through participation of various BASS chapters at the local MUCC district level or at the state level through the Federation’s voice on the MUCC Fisheries Committee – has demonstrated benefits to the entire MUCC organization, while promoting the Federation’s interests and mission.
This two-way road of benefits is why I invite each individual chapter of the Michigan B.A.S.S. Chapter Federation, if your chapter is not already affiliated, to consider its affiliation with the MUCC. Chapter involvement in the local MUCC Districts allows chapters the benefit of being heard statewide through a second network of conservation leaders while being directly responsible for strengthening a relationship between two statewide leaders, MUCC and MI B.A.S.S. Chapter Federation, both working together to promote our state’s great fishery. Active B.A.S.S. Chapters in each MUCC District would allow your statewid

LANSING – State resource officials today announced that Largemouth Bass Virus appears to be spreading in southern Michigan lakes, and called upon anglers to help contain the disease and protect fish populations.
Largemouth Bass Virus (LMBV) is one of more than 100 naturally occurring viruses that affect fish, and is closely related to viruses found in frogs and other amphibians. Its origin and how it is spread are unknown. The virus is not known to infect humans, and infected fish are considered safe to eat. However, it is recommended that all fish should be thoroughly cooked as a precaution.
In the fall of 2020, biologists from the Michigan and Indiana Departments of Natural Resources discovered the presence of LMBV while jointly investigating a die-off of largemouth bass in Lake George, located on the Michigan-Indiana border near I-69.
The discovery marked the first time LMBV had been detected in either Michigan or Indiana and was the furthest north that the virus had been detected in the United States. It was first discovered in the Santee-Cooper Reservoir of South Carolina in 1995, following a die-off of largemouth bass. Since then, the virus has been detected in wild fish from North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan.
It is now confirmed that the virus in Lake George was not an isolated event. LMBV has been found in another border lake between Michigan and Indiana, two additional Michigan lakes and three additional lakes in northern Indiana. The virus was also detected this year in lakes and reservoirs in Illinois for the first time.
Michigan DNR Fish Pathologist John Hnath said LMBV appears to infect other fish species, including smallmouth bass, bluegill and crappies, but has caused mortality to only largemouth bass. Most fish mortalities associated with the virus involve other stressors to the fish, including warm water temperatures and heavy fishing pressure.
“The DNR cannot eradicate this virus or treat affected wild fish populations,” Hnath said. “However, as we continue investigating this outbreak, we appreciate receiving reports of unusual fish mortalities.”
Consistent with the recommendations reported from the Largemouth Bass Virus Workshop III, sponsored Feb. 22 by ESPN and BASS Federation, the DNR is calling on bass clubs and others who target largemouth bass to voluntarily help reduce angling stress on largemouth bass populations during warm weather. DNR Fisheries Division Chief Kelley Smith noted the DNR will be monitoring lakes in southern Michigan this summer, in partnership with the Michigan BASS Federation.
“This disease has never been detected this far north, and we still do not know how largemouth bass populations will be affected in Michigan’s lakes,” Smith said. “We urge all members of the angling community to help us monitor the waters. Further, we look forward to working with our partners at the Michigan BASS Federation, and appreciate their willingness to assist us in collecting information necessary to better understand and manage this virus.”
There are few outward signs that a fish has the virus. The virus has been found in many lakes where there have not been reports of disease or mortalities of fish. Affected fish usually appear normal, although they may be lethargic, swim slowly and are less responsive to activity around them.
Dying fish often are seen near the surface and have difficulty remaining upright. Upon internal examination, such fish usually will have bloated swim bladders, which accounts for the cause of swimming problems. Red sores or other lesions occasionally may be seen on the skin of the fish, but these are secondary in nature and not part of the virus infection.
The DNR concurs with recommendations from the LMBV Workshop III, and reminds anglers and boaters to take the following steps to help prevent the spread of the virus:
· Clean boats, trailers, other equipment thoroughly between fishing trips to keep from transporting LMBV, as well as other undesirable pathogens and organisms, from one water body to another.
· Do not move fish or fish parts from one body of water to another, and do not release live bait into any water body.
· Handle bass as gently as possible if you intend to release them.
· Stage tournaments during cooler weather, so fish caught will not be so stressed.
· Report dead or dying fish to state wildlife agencies.
· Volunteer to help agencies collect bass for LMBV monitoring.
· Educate other anglers about LMBV. | <urn:uuid:25413dca-0670-4bf7-968d-ef5b2e1a3662> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.michiganbass.org/ | 2023-09-28T18:37:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.852209 | 37,549 |
Debt solutions - get lower interest rates
You've got $13,000 in credit card debt. You've been struggling to pay more than the minimum on
the cards. Your cards are nearly maxxed out. Occasionally, your payment arrives late, and the
credit card companies hit you with a late fee. Sometimes, the late fee ends up putting you over
the limit, so the companies hit you with an over-the-limit fee. You've come to realize that you're
in a losing situation. Take heart -- there is a way out.
First steps first
First, you need to budget. Track your expenses, cut them to
the bone by getting rid of habits that are costing you too much money. Even if the cuts only
amount to $100 a month (and many of us can find 3 times that much in savings), you'll be able to
get yourself started on the road to eliminating your credit card debt.
Second, you need to realize that the many advertisements that claim that "credit card debt is a
hoax" are, in fact, fraud scams. When you use your credit cards, you expressly agree to repay
what you spend on them plus any and all interest charges and other fees that the credit card
companies decide to charge you. You cannot simply "will away" your accumulated credit card debt.
There are no secret laws, no secret plans, no loopholes to get you out of your mess. You've
gotten yourself into it -- the time has come to get yourself out of it.
Let's say that you've got 3 credit cards, and the total debt is $13,000. The interest rates they've
been charging you range from 18% to 24.9%. You've been paying $300 a month on the cards, but
you're not getting anywhere on paying them down. It seems that every couple of months, at least
one card hits you with the double "late fee/overage fee" combination. If we assume that
you've stopped ringing up purchases on your plastic, I can show you several ways to pay your
credit cards off in full, in just a handful of years.
Increase your payments by cutting your expenses
If you add the $100 in savings you came up with by budgeting to the $300 you're already paying
the cards, then you'll have $400 to pay down on the debt each month (and they said I was lousy in
math!). The first month, pay the minimum on two of the cards and put the rest on the card that is
closest to the limit. That usually will be the one that keeps getting hit with extra fees the most
often. Next month, do the same, but with the extra going on one of the other two cards. The following
month, do it again, this time putting the extra on the third card. What does this do? It should
stop all the over-the-limit fees that they keep hitting you with. Many cards nail you with fees
of $50 or more for being late or over the limit. Even when it's their own fees that put you over.
So, the first thing you need to do with your new payment plan is to eliminate the possibility of
you going over the limit. Needless to say, you need to schedule your payments so that they are no
Once you've built up a cushion of room on each card, pay 3% of the balance on each of them. If you
have leftover money, put the extra on the card with the highest interest rate. If you've stopped
using your cards, you'll start seeing the balances slowly start to fall.
Lower interest rates will speed up the process
But we're not done yet. Getting the payments up to 3% is just the start. We actually want to get
lower interest rates. Getting the rates down to 10-15% will speed up the repayment process and
get you out of debt earlier.
After about 6 months of steadily declining balances, one or two of the credit card companies will
start sending you letters offering low rates on balance transfers. They're not doing this out of
the goodness of their corporate hearts. And they're not rewarding you for getting your finances
under control. By reducing your balances, their profits from you are dropping. So, to drive your
balance back up, they offer you a short-term reduction in interest rates if you transfer a balance
from another card.
Read the fine print carefully! Many will offer you 9% or 7% (or even 0%) but only on the
transferred amount, and only for 6 months. The existing balance you have is still being dinged
at the previous rate, and, when the special rate period ends, the amount remaining on the
transferred balance shoots up to the full rate too. Money that you pay them will go first to the
transferred balance (since they're not making any money on it during the special offer period).
Your existing balance remains unpaid. And you're paying the full interest on it. Like I said,
they're not doing it to reward you, or because they like you. They're doing it to maximize the
amount of interest they can extract out of you.
That's not to say that these special transfer offers are all bad. Occasionally, you can get a
credit card company to scrap the special rate period, and offer a permanent lower rate, either
on the transferred balance, or the whole debt. Generally (and there are exceptions), these are
offers that you want to consider taking. Moving $2000 from a card that's charging you 21% to a
card that is now only charging you 15% (or less) for the entire balance will enable you to pay
down your credit card debt faster. Pretty soon, the other two cards will make offers of even
lower rates for your entire balance. You've now got the credit card companies competing for your
business. Be careful, though, to pick and choose the offers you take. Again, read the fine print
and run the numbers through the different options available to you. Also, don't keep switching
from one card to another too frequently. That actually shows up on your credit reports and can
damage your credit rating.
An easy way to lower your interest rates
Another way that you can get lower interest rates on your cards is to write the companies after
you've paid down the balances by about 20% or so. In the letters, state that you're following a
strict budget, and that you've been able to reduce your debt by 20% (or whatever). Then tell them,
once you've paid them all off in full, that you'll be cancelling two of the cards. The one
company that will have your business when the time comes will be the one that offers you the
best interest rate now. You can even do this over the phone. Many of the customer reps
that man the phones are authorized to offer much lower rates to customers who have significantly
improved their payment history (and balances). All you have to do is ask.
You don't need to pay a company hundreds of dollars to negotiate a lower rate or a reduction in
the balance. Just follow the common sense advice that you've just read, and the companies will
fall all over themselves to offer you lower rates. You could have your credit card debt paid in
full -- all by yourself -- in 3 years or less.
Congratulations for taking the first step to a brighter financial future.

Today the young prince - a.k.a. Alex - came down to check out his new calves. How many 5 month old babies are lucky enough to have mini Hereford babies?!?!? Anyway, Lizzy, Sugar and Priscilla paid their respects while ensuring their own babies weren't in any danger....I guess the car seat is still a bit of a mystery to them. Alex seemed to enjoy his time with the cows and even has his own way of communicating with them. Riding in the back of the Gator was also a novelty he seemed to enjoy. That boy will be showing in no time!

Don't be afraid to dream big. That's the lesson we should all learn from this heart-warming
commercial from a while back. See, all this little guy ever wanted was to become a Clydesdale,
but alas, that was one job he didn't qualify for because he was born a donkey. Still he practiced
his walks and even hilariously tried his best to look like a Clydesdale. Eventually he got his big

I’m always trying to figure out ways to make my laundry room more functional, and I’ve seen ladders hanging from the ceiling in laundry rooms so I decided to give it a whirl.
My dad made the ladder, it’s 4 ft. x 17 in. with four 14 in. rungs, 1 ft. apart.
He came up with the idea to mount it to the wall with brackets, and did it in our last house, except this time we couldn’t find the right brackets, so we added 1 in. wood shims to make it fit. These brackets are 15 1/2 in. x 10 1.2 in.
I probably should have ordered the right size online, but I was anxious to get them up and you don’t even notice the shims after they were painted white.
And to maximize the hanging storage, I added some hooks and spray painted them to match the room.
And then I added a couple things below because being cute is important, too.
I don’t know about you, but it’s generally a party in my laundry room so…
Since I’m in this room daily, it really helps that it’s a little more organized and pretty! More updates on this room soon. 🙂 | <urn:uuid:182af3cc-dd43-451c-b1b1-5d2820ed3858> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.prettyhealthyhouse.com/laundry-room-ladder/ | 2023-09-28T18:35:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.952311 | 273 |
I’m all about photo ops, so I was excited and inspired when I saw this idea on Pinterest before my oldest son started preschool. What a fun way to capture the first day of school!
I went to Hobby Lobby to pick up my chalkboard, but, of course, they were sold out because everyone else on Pinterest saw the idea.
Well, I wasn’t going to bail on the idea that quickly so I decided to make my own. I had already bought chalkboard paint for another project so all I needed was a frame. And it was my lucky day: frames were 50 percent off (gotta love the 50 percent off sales at HL) so I spent less than if I would have bought a pre-made chalkboard.
I then painted three coats of chalkboard paint on the glass, and that was it.
I love the distressed barn wood look of the frame, it reminds me of my grandparents’ farm, and I knew I could use it for other things, like on my mantel…
And for our fall photos taken by Shannon Dickman of Brittann Photography.
It’s always good when your crafty projects have a dual purpose!
Another cute idea is to write what your child would like to be when they grow up on the chalkboard. Or use some props.
My son is often talking about being a doctor and carrying around tools he got from his godmother. That day he was obsessed with the “shot” and took it to school. Notice the cars on his backpack (sewn on by Nanie) as well, another one of his interests.
Of course he wanted to write on the chalkboard right before we took the photo and were running late…gotta plan for and allow time for those kid-fun detours, too. 😉

See the details of the Hawaii Auto Liability Insurance. The DMV in Hawaii will need to see that your car has the correct insurance coverage before it can be officially registered. Note also that the minimum insurance coverage is just that – minimum. You will need to speak to an insurance agent in Hawaii for proper advice and also look at better coverage especially for public liability.
Hawaii Auto Liability Insurance
The coverage requirement in Hawaii has been added below and as you will note that certain coverage can be wavered in certain cases. You will need to take insurance advice on this.
Auto liability insurance in Hawaii is required by law and is designed to protect you financially in case you are found at fault for causing an accident. Hawaii’s minimum liability insurance requirements have been added below.
It’s important to note that these are only the minimum requirements. Likewise you may want to consider purchasing additional coverage to protect yourself in case of a serious accident. Additionally you should also shop around and compare rates. This from different insurance companies to find the best coverage at a price that fits your budget.
You can take topup insurance cover if you feel that the coverage is too low or you can take out additional public liability cover such as general liability cover if you are a business or the car is for the purposes of business. Most companies opt for the additional liability coverage in the event of a major accident as the minimum requirement is simply not going to cover much. The minimum insurance coverage for Hawaii is as follows:
- Bodily Injury Liability Coverage: $20,000 per person and $40,000 per accident
- Basic Personal Injury Protection: $10,000
- Property Damage liability Coverage: $10,000
- Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist: $20,000 per person and $40,000 per accident*
*Uninsured/Underinsured motorist coverages can be rejected in writing.
The uninsured coverage is good to have as 1 in 8 Americans drive without insurance coverage. If you are having a bad luck day. Then you could very well end up in an accident with one of these drivers. Consider what would be best and not always what is cheaper.
If you are looking for cheaper car insurance in Hawaii then consider taking a package deal from an insurance company. The auto insurance can be added to your professional liability insurance or household insurance to bring the monthly premiums down. Speak to an insurance agent in Hawaii about all these options, however do not skimp on insurance coverage – ever. | <urn:uuid:38426b4a-4569-4d72-afd6-7de803bd3813> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.quoteinsure.net/hawaii-auto-liability-insurance.php | 2023-09-28T17:40:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.965611 | 512 |

1) I realized how much effort comes along with the planning, organizing, and actually practicing with young kids. So, I have gained a newfound appreciation for the work my parents did as coaches, and – particularly – my Dad who did it for at least 15 years.
2) I did not realize that in coaching my 5-year old son, when he hears me praising other kids, he suddenly wants (and needs) reassurance himself. I’m not sure when I will need to sit him down and explain to him that I am his coach as well as his Dad, and he needs to realize that when I praise others, I am not critiquing him. I’m thinking that time is now, but I’m not sure he will understand that concept.
3) I realized how to win every game by a landslide by teaching the kids to play long ball so that they can bypass the “herd of 5 year olds” that usually happens in this age group. The drill will involve my assistant coach or me standing near the goal while players come in twos. One kicks the ball forward and they race past me to score. With what I saw last Saturday, we’d score at least 10 goals a game this way.
4) Somehow, I have to turn off “win” mode because AYSO (rightfully so) is designed to teach and to have fun (particularly at this age). The way I did this in our first game was to clap for the other team when they scored as well. I will confess that I am well aware that I clapped more for our team. Ahem.
5) I did not realize how fun it is to teach young kids how to play soccer. | <urn:uuid:3c10ea6a-9ae5-4756-8c29-a9582b348d62> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.robreed.com/2012/09/10/my-first-week-as-soccer-coach/ | 2023-09-28T18:58:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.989302 | 362 |
In this research guide you will learn how to get a COMPLETE, non-commercial, Statewide list of Assisted Living & Senior Care Facilities Provided by the State of New Hampshire.
If you are like most families who have spent time online researching assisted living for a loved-one (or yourself), you have likely encountered quite a bit of frustration with many of the sites out there that are not straightforward, or sites that are clearly commercially-biased.
Most commercial sites deliberately omit important information, or don’t update their databases frequently, thus leading families on a never-ending circle trying to find answers. What a waste of time.
Here, I’ll show you the most straightforward and trustworthy way to research assisted living and other senior care options for the entire state of New Hampshire. This method uses ONLY state-supported resources and data.
How To Find Assisted Living in New Hampshire Using State Resources
You can search for numerous types of Senior Care Facilities in New Hampshire using the New Hampshire Online Licensing site. At this time, their search tool looks like this:
New Hampshire’s Safest Facilities:
To find care in a specific city, simply:
- Under License Type, Choose Assisted Living/Residential Care Facility
- Enter a City in the city field
Alternatively you can enter a zip code, or a county for a broader search.
For this example, I entered a city where there was only one licensed assisted living facility. The information comes up in the following format:
With some very basic information presented at first you can see what is available in your chosen city/town or area.
To get more information about the facility, simply click on the facility name and the following information will be displayed:
There is quite a lot of really useful information presented here including:
- Facility Name
- License Number
- License Status
- Issue / Renew Date
- Expiration Date
- Inspections Visit History
- Violations Found/Not Found Results
- Statement of Findings and Other Licensing Documents
- Facility Service Description
- Number of Beds (Capacity)
Viewing Inspections Reports for Assisted Living Facilities in New Hampshire
Within this facility detail report you may see some links to documents pertaining to the inspections outlined in the facility detail report. These documents can be viewed in a .pdf format. You can save, and or download the document.
The report document will look like this:
How To Submit A Complaint Against An Assisted Living Facility in New Hampshire
As an important aside, you can submit a complaint against a healthcare facility in New Hampshire by going to the bottom of the facility detail report and selecting the “Submit Complaint” link.
From there you’ll be taken to a simple, online form where you can submit your complaint. The form looks like this:
You can access the form directly here.
Find A Facility Through NHARCH
Another useful tool at your disposal for finding Assisted Living in New Hampshire is through the New Hampshire Association of Residential Care Homes.
The NHARCH offers a search tool that you can use to find Senior Living options. The tool is in the upper right of their website.
You can select by facility locations, as will appear like this:
Or you can select by Payment Preference or Levels of Care, as will look like this:
Payment options include:
Levels of Care include:
- Assisted Living
- Brain Injury
- Dementia Care
- Skilled Nursing
Finally, you can filter your results by facility features.
Assisted Living Regulations in New Hampshire
Finally, anyone can view New Hampshire’s Assisted Living Regulations and Administrative Codes. Simply visit the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services site, and you can, from there, go to the Certified Administrative Rules.
You’ll see two links to rules for Assisted Living Residences. For your convenience, we have included them here.

Online sales of bogus Nintendo accessories referred to police
Police have been called in to investigate a Shanghai company found allegedly selling bogus Nintendo products with an online value totaling over 350,000 yuan (US$52,220), the city's market watchdog revealed.
Officials investigating the operation premises of Shanghai Hengyuan Co Ltd in Minhang District found 1,559 pieces of bogus game console accessories bearing the trademark "NINTENDO SWITCH," the Shanghai Administration for Market Regulation said Wednesday.
These accessories had a product value of 451,197 yuan.
Fake "NINTENDO SWITCH" game console accessories allegedly sold through the company's online platform have already generated sales worth 357,392 yuan in total.
The case is under investigation based on China's trademark law, according to the administration. | <urn:uuid:62cd3aff-63ea-4b98-af33-80bfe3d250f0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.shine.cn/news/metro/2206237107/ | 2023-09-28T18:30:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.911651 | 161 |

It's hard to take it in but people are disliking and even hating each other over differences of opinions and beliefs. To the point that everyday life is being affected. It's like waiting for the shoe to drop, an ominous feeling that something terrible is going to happen.
Jesus said this would happen. He said as much in what is known as the "Olivet Discourse." It can be found in Matthew 24:1-25, Mark 13:1-37 and Luke 21:5-36. Mark 13:12 says, "Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son, and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death." How far is this world from seeing those things happen? Or, have they already happened and no one is really noticing?
The days of life on this earth are short. Living peacefully, dying of old age, and being buried in the family plot are going away. Having faith and practicing faith are being increasingly challenged. It's important to live up to the task. "But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved." (Matthew 24:13) It also says not to conform to this world, to renew your mind so you can prove (test) what is good, acceptable and the perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2, in the author's own words)
This is it. The only days of the present world is all our generation is allotted. Where will the next generation begin it's trek? The days of old-fashioned values, love of fellow men and a common trust that kept people connected is shattering like a piece of broken glass. What will it be like then?
Jesus knew this was coming. And he gives us warning. But he also gives us hope. John 3:15-17 speak of eternal life for all those who believe on him. What to do? Believe, Have faith. God will bring us through this world. He knew us before we were born (Isaiah 49:1, Galatians 1:15). He has not forsaken us. (Hebrews 13:5) | <urn:uuid:eca0f72a-2c30-47da-af3b-7b0545396e5d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.swedenchurch.com/the-laymans-pen/connected-but-disconnected | 2023-09-28T17:20:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.973355 | 446 |

I’m excited to say that Whisky Impressions will have a stand at next week’s Springbank Open Day, on Thursday the 21st of May. The Open Day has been on the go for a good few years now but this year it has been expanded to include the town’s other distilleries, Glen Scotia and Glengyle, and has become the Campbeltown Malts Festival. Hopefully the first of many!
I have to say this is a first for me for a couple of reasons - first time I’ve done a whisky festival in my home town and first time I’ve done a whisky festival where I don't actually have any whisky on my stand! Just t-shirts and prints. Hopefully some of you will come along and say hello, despite the lack of whisky though.
I remember one of the very first whisky festivals I went to, just after starting work at Springbank. It was in Vienna and I got talking to some of the guys from the Austrian Whisky Society who had a fantastic collection of old whiskies with them. After the show, when we were all congregating in the hotel bar (as you do), they invited me to join them for a dram of Springbank 1966 Local Barley that they had just opened. I was really touched that this group of people that I had never met before would share such an old, rare, whisky with a young lass just started in the industry.
That’s the great thing about whisky though, and thing I love about whisky festivals - it’s all about sharing. I’ve lost count of the number of times since that moment that strangers, friends, competitors or customers have come up to me at a whisky festival, glass in hand and said, ‘taste this, it’s fantastic!’ I don’t know why it is acceptable to taste a stranger’s whisky but it just is. I mean if someone you barely knew come up and offered you a lick of their ice cream you would think they were a total weirdo but somehow with whisky it’s ok. Don’t question it too much ok, just embrace it.
I just hope this new trend for ‘investing’ in whisky doesn't stop people sharing their whisky with others; not for profit or gain but just for the simple pleasure in sharing a great dram.
Whisky Impressions is run by Kate Watt. Previously at Springbank and then Glenfarclas, I now design some whisky related stuff and write about it, and anything else that takes my fancy, on this blog. | <urn:uuid:65de0d2f-3153-4170-bef0-160040ff0def> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.whiskyimpressions.com/blog/whisky-impressions-at-campbeltown-malts-festival | 2023-09-28T16:42:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.969679 | 563 |
A Little Try In The Elder Scrolls Online Horns Of The Reach
For most ESO fans, the Dungeons and Trials are the highlight of the game. Certainly at Veteran mode, they offer the most challenging PvE content in the game and with exclusive items for each dungeon, rewards are also not wrong. This is definitely ZeniMax Online developer because, in addition to earlier extensions, they also released a Dungeon Pack. With the release of Horns of the Reach, there is now a second Dungeon Pack, which I have already tried to try.
First of all, an explanation of the content of the DLC itself. Buying Horns of the Reach gives you access to two new dungeons: Falkreath Hold and Bloodroot Forge. Both dungeons can be found in the Craglorn area and are accessible to players who purchased the DLC in all regular ways. In addition to the tricks that can be found in the dungeons, there are also some unique achievements, a dye, an emote and a free skin, and as a cherry on the cake you can buy a new home if you know both dungeons on Veteran mode. In addition to the DLC, the additional update adds a number of minor improvements, but later on.
Falkreath Hold begins on the road to the town of Falkreath itself, where you meet a wounded man who tells you that the city is currently being attacked by Reachmen and Minotaurs. What is immediately noticeable is that your opponents in Horns of the Reach are a lot more ingenious than in most dungeons. The Reachmen await you in obstructions that can only be seen if you keep your eyes open. The bosses themselves make sure that you are well aware of your attention, as they have many AoE attacks that you must avoid (to be a Veteran) to stay alive.
These bosses come in all sorts and sizes. So I could take my team in Falkreath Hold against a Minotaur captain, a huge mammoth, an (ESO-player well-known) Bone Colossus and eventually the Minotaur chief himself, Domihaus the Bloody-Horned. Unlike most final bosses, the arena in which you fight against Domihaus is quite small and claustrophobic. That's good too, because you will have to make a lot of use of your environment to escape his dangerous attacks. Nevertheless, most bosses in Falkreath Hold know one or more combat mechanics, so you can learn how to best handle an end boss.
Because Falkreath Hold is playing in a well-known area, developers have hidden a number of small easter eggs here and there. Elder Scrolls Online, though, plays a lot earlier than Skyrim, but a lot of Falkreath buildings are still recognizable for those who visited the city in the single player RPG. Also just outside Falkreath you can spot a ruin that you could visit in Skyrim and you can see from the center of the city the house you can buy if you know both dungeons on Veteran.
In addition to the DLC, the Horns of the Reach update also includes some minor improvements to the game itself. Players who bought Morrowind can already look forward to a new folder and game mode for the PvP mode Battleground, and all players can adjust the color and brightness of combat cues (which indicate where AoE is going to land), something where color blindness players (like myself) have a lot of luck.
All in all, my first experience with Horns of the Reach was a positive one. Falkreath Hold is one of the most challenging and interesting dungeons I've encountered so far and after playing it, I was just wondering if Bloodroot Forge was just as well. In spite of the fact that the Morrowind expansion is not a requirement to play the DLC, for some players, the asking price of 1500 Crowns (about 13 euros) will be a lot. However, if you still regularly launch Elder Scrolls Online, Horns of the Reach is definitely worth the effort.

After a theme-setting opening, we're introduced to Jake Harris (Val Kilmer) and his team of Profiler-Trainees: J.D. Reston (Christian Slater), Sara Moore (Kathryn Morris), Nicole Willis (Patricia Velasquez), Vince Sherman (Clifton Collins Jr.), Lucas Harper (Jonny Lee Miller), Bobby Whitman (Eion Bailey) and Rafe Perry (Will Kemp). Each one has their hang ups, each one has their secrets and each one has their own hairstyle.
Each one is united in their animosity toward the all-too-hard Teacher, Harris. In fact, each seems to be as eager to graduate from the program for the honor of serving as profiler as for the ability to get out from under Harris' thumb. To do this, however, they must travel to a remote island in the Atlantic Ocean to take their final exam. There, Harris shows them an Ideal American City that he calls "Crimetown USA" (equal parts House of Wax Paraffin Village and The Hills Have Eyes Nuke-Test City) populated by lifeless mannequins and about ten thousand stray cats. The team is then told that there is a serial killer somewhere in the town and that over the weekend they must deliver a profile on who that killer might be. Sound rough? Well there's also the addition of someone new, someone not part of the team, Detective Gabe Jensen (James Todd Smith aka LL Cool J).
Soon the game becomes real and the Profiler Cadets and their new Podnuh start to see their team killed off one at a time. The psycho has a penchant for elaborate murder scenes and the use of broken clocks and watches to predict the time of the next murder and taunt the prey. Everyone is a suspect, anyone could be the killer... Is it one of them, the new guy, Harris having never left or some other rear-end who has shown up to enjoy leg-of-Agent?
Sound familiar? Aye, Madame, 'tis common. It should sound familiar. Every third horror flick has the same formula. The concept of having these be trained profilers for the FBI should, and to an extent, does make this feel somewhat original. Sadly, Harlin seems to miss the opportunities for real horror here, proving that he is a sum of his experiences. Instead of embracing the terror here, Harlin seems to be reliving his directorship of Die Hard 2 throwing in quips, jokes and really bad puns for just about every action. Every step of the way more people get killed in new and original ways, like in any given horror movie, but Harlin avoids the fear (though piles on the gore) in favor of many of the same kinds of bad puns that Harlin directed Freddy to say in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. More often than not, these quips come out of the mouth of still-buff LL Cool J. And, ew, they're bad. For example, when cutting off the electric flow that threatens to electrocute him and the cadets, LL pauses to say "LIGHTS OUT!" Ugh. Throwing another "Clue" watch to the ground he says "Time's up!" Argh. On calculating the odds of survival, LL expectorates the line "Iny, miny, mino, mo. Who's the next motherfucker to go?"
The sheer incongruity and misplaced nature of the genres Harlin is playing with are what kills this Serial Killer flick. I'm all for the mixing of Genres, but there are more seams in this final product than in an American Quilt. The main irritant here is the now-cliché element of "EVERYONE'S A SUSPECT", which means, basically, that there's nothing clever about the mystery. By setting up everyone equally, all the film makers had to do was choose someone still surviving at random in the final act. Then the audience will say "Oh, YEAH, now I see it." Yeah, Psychology is fun when you're the only one in on it, huh, guys?
It's not all bad, though. Kathryn Morris does a fine job as the conflicted young trainee who might be the killer. Some of the effects and death scenes are both well-effected and creative. Julian Ashby's set design and Jon Billington's art direction are both pretty commendable, considering the eerie nature that accompanies this dead town that shouldn't exist. Further the linking of this plot to the historical Roanoke Colony is relatively inspired. I only wish it hadn't fizzled as so much of the rest of this poor-man's Se7en did. I will say this, while I deplore the concept of setting everyone up as a suspect equally (It's just lazy, folks! Watch your Hitchcock and read your Agatha Christie!) the finally revealed culprit is at least a little bit surprising. Naturally, Harlin has to throw in the now-obligatory flashback montage (one of many, many montages Harlin gives us) to prove he's not pulling a fast one, but still, it's kind of cool to discover. Lastly, there is a pretty nifty little underwater sequence that is fun, if impossible. See, that's our Renny, man! He takes a great idea like an underwater fight and hoses it by turning all involved players into Aquaman and Submariner. Dude, the guy from Lady in the Water held his breath less long than this. Wish my wife could hold her breath that long.
Grrr. Anyway, in spite of it's flaws, this isn't a terrible film. Oh, it's not great, but it's a valid enough time passer for a Sunday Morning. Probably inspired a few popcorn fights too. Ah, well... Two and One Half Stars out of Five for Mindhunters. Somehow Kathryn Morris, even with her boy scout hairdo, can make any case a HOT CASE. Hell and damn. So until the TV Series version of Mindhunters debuts (no, I'm not kidding) and we see if that one's a Bloody Good Time, I'll see you in the next Serial Reel.

Twister Slot is the latest member of the Yellotools Twister family: With this mobile film roll holder, up to 9 rolls can be stored on only 3.23 ft² of space and pushed from the storage area to the printer, plotter, etc. and back as required.
In addition, Twister Slot offers the possibility of lifting the heavy rolls by using the new TimStick, which is easy on the back, and then placing them back on the roll holder: The recesses in the base plate are dimensioned in such a way that the hook-shaped end of the TimStick can be inserted precisely into the roll core. A frame on the bottom of the Twister serves as a guide. The lifting aid is designed so that the lifted rolls can be placed horizontally on the cutting table, plotter or printer in a single motion.
The four milled holes of the base plate also allow the Twister Slot to be pulled around with the TimStick. The TimStick can then be placed within easy reach in the separately available TimStick Station.
Twister Slot is available in two versions, either for 6 or 9 rolls with a roll core diameter of 3" (7.62 cm).

Even if it seems like a strike is unlikely, it is important for every company to know how to handle an employee strike. Not only does this keep the organization running as smoothly as possible, but it also helps the company maintain a positive, stable image. Though strikes are commonly associated with specific work-related grievances, they also take place as a way for workers to broadcast overall industry or political dissatisfaction.
1. Hire Strike Security
During a strike, it is common for emotions to run high, especially if only a portion of the employees are striking or if customers are still utilizing your place of business. Keep your employees and customers safe by hiring strike security.
Strike security officers work to ensure that strike-related misconduct does not occur. The strike security force may use video cameras to better monitor the picket line. Officers also help protect your company's property; they work to keep your roadways and parking lots clear so that employees and customers may safely enter and exit the premises. If needed, you can also hire strike security for mobile tasks, such as accompanying drivers who choose to continue working during a strike.
2. Make Sure Employees Know the Company Policy Regarding Payment and Absences Associated with Striking
The policies concerning an employee strike vary dramatically at each organization. Regardless of your organization's rules, communicate these policies with the employees, ideally before the strike begins. For example, some companies may permit employees to use their personal time off at any time, regardless of the reason. Others may deny paid time off if the time off is for striking. Let the employees know how the days they spend striking will be counted for attendance purposes.
3. Have a Plan in Place to Cover the Duties of Employees Who Are Striking
It is essential to have a plan in place to cover absent employees before the strike begins. One option is to permit non-striking employees to take on more duties and work more hours. However, if most of the company is striking or if the strike is anticipated to last for an extended period of time, this may not be a viable plan.
An alternative is to keep a database of qualified individuals who may be interested in working on a temporary basis. Former employees and retirees are two groups where you can find short-term workers.
A third solution is to utilize the services of a temp agency. However, if your company provides or creates a highly specialized service or good, a temp agency may not be able to provide your organization with an ample number of experienced workers.Share

Hi there, my name is Amanda O'Leary. I have traveled all around the world, with most of my time spent in north Africa and southeast Asia, but I have set foot in every major region of the world. I recommend that literally everyone else do the same. Experiencing such a broad range of cultures can really change your outlook on life. One thing I have noticed is that international businesses still struggle to market to foreigners. Because this is a topic that I am passionate about, I have decided to create a blog designed to help businesses bring their products and brands overseas in a manner that will be culturally sensitive and highly profitable. | <urn:uuid:6e3a56a8-0838-480a-b3f9-d8ca37f83589> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://ziones.com/2017/05/19/three-things-you-need-to-do-to-handle-an-employee-strike/ | 2023-09-28T18:44:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.958076 | 640 |
What is Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous?
The organization of Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous is a 12-step The process by which addicts attempt to break the hold a certain substance or behavior has on their lives. This can refer to participation in a wide variety of methods. What they all have in common, is a sense that life is improving and the addict is regaining control. More program for individuals who want to stop living out patterns of sex and love addiction. Although the group is not directly affiliated with The original 12-step fellowship, formed in 1935, to help alcoholics, regain control over their lives. It remains the largest 12-step organization and has contributed to the sobriety of millions worldwide. Read more about Alcoholics Anonymous More, it utilizes the same 12 step and 12 tradition format for their This refers to the members of AA and the bonds of support between them. It is this fellowship that allows addicts to share their stories and accept each other in a world that is not always understanding. More, as these have proven to be extremely successful for other self-help groups. While there isn’t much known about the history of Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, it was founded in 1976 in Boston, Massachusetts.
Sex and love addiction can affect anyone, so anyone who has the desire to stop engaging in these patterns can attend meetings. Although setting healthy boundaries in relationships can be difficult for almost everyone, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous is intended for individuals who are seeing the extreme side of this problem. Some characteristics of sex and love addiction can include returning to painful relationships, fear of commitment, or using sex or emotions to manipulate others.
How does SLAA work?
This refers to any official course of treatment for addiction. This could be anything from in-patient facilities, to 12-step programs to harm-reduction programs. More focuses on the 12-step recovery process so that members can begin making positive changes in their lives. As members begin attending meetings, the fellowship emphasizes the idea that complete honesty is crucial to their recovery. Being honest about their problems and behaviors is the only way to successfully work the program. One of the ways that attending meetings helps members recover is by forcing them out of isolation. In sex and love addiction, isolation is detrimental to the recovery process and can cause members to get lost in their own heads, obsess over issues, and get lost in their own self pity. Instead, by attending meetings, they are able to begin taking care of themselves, admit their wrongdoings and learn to love themselves.
When it comes to the recovery process, it is up to each individual to begin identifying what their issues are, as they can be different for everyone. While some members have trouble with codependency, others can be struggling with sexual anorexia: the avoidance of giving or receiving social, sexual or emotional nourishment. In Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, individuals are able to define the terms of their own recovery, where they can start replacing old, destructive behaviors with new ones. These behaviors can be found in various different forms.
Another important part of the program is to obtain a sponsor. A An individual in a 12-step program requires a sponsor to help them work the steps and hold them accountable for their recovery. The sponsor should be readily available when help is needed. A member with a sponsor is considered to be the sponsee. More in Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous is a longtime An individual who attends 12-step program meetings and has the desire to overcome addiction. More of the program who has been “sober” and has worked the The term "12 steps" refers to the core principles of the approach to addiction exemplified by Alcoholics Anonymous and other similar groups. The 12 steps are a set of guidelines designed to help individuals overcome addiction and rebuild their lives. They were created by the founders of Alcoholics A... More or is actively working them. In the fellowship, In 12-step programs, an individual is sober when they are no longer partaking in the behavior or substance to which they are addicted and living a better life following the program. Both are necessary to achieve sobriety. More is defined as the willingness to stop acting out on bottom-line addictive behaviors. Although sponsors are not doctors or therapists, they are available to answer questions about the program and provide suggestions that worked for them while they began their journey through recovery.
Another way a sponsor is helpful is because they can help define the terms of recovery for newcomers. For example, setting up the bottom-line behaviors that need to be avoided to ensure sobriety, as well as what will need to change to switch negative patterns to healthier decision making. Sponsors can also recommend what literature to begin reading first, which can include the “S.L.A.A The first basic text was the Big Book of AA, which accompanied the recovery of alcoholics since its publication. Since then every 12-step program has adopted a handful of basic texts which are used for readings in meetings and to guide their members to recovery. Members are expected to bring them to...

Why is SLAA effective?
Sex and love addiction is a Some refer to addiction as a disease, comparing it to physical ailments. There are similarities, as both have a detrimental influence on body and soul and are treatable through medical means. More, just as any other mental illness, and it will only progressively get worse until destructive behaviors are addressed. This disease cannot be overcome by willpower alone. Although many individuals were living in isolation and hiding their guilt, Feelings of shame and inadequacy often contribute both to the onset of addiction and its continuation. Addicts also often commit immoral acts, leading to further shame. This leads to a destructive shame-addiction cycle. Breaking the cycle is one of the keys to recovery. More and trust issues from others, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous offers a safe environment for individuals to speak freely and never feel judged. Members are encouraged to share their experiences and struggles when they feel comfortable enough to and are never forced to share anything they don’t want to.
One of the reasons the fellowship is so beneficial is because it is important for sex and love addicts to know that they are never alone. The disease can force individuals to keep secrets, which only makes them sicker. Before attending meetings, many of these individuals felt like there was nowhere left to turn until they realized that there were other people like them, who shared similar stories and experiences. In the fellowship, members can begin building a strong support system, which may have seemed impossible to do outside of the program. After they begin to attend meetings regularly and work the steps of the program, members will begin to see positive changes in their lives. They will start taking responsibility for their own lives, take care of themselves before getting involved with others, and continue being honest in their everyday lives.
Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous FAQs
There are no costs, fees or dues for membership to Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. The only requirement for membership is the desire to stop living out a pattern of sex and love addiction. Because the group is fully self-supporting, they do not accept outside contributions of any kind. Instead, members are encouraged to contribute what they can, when they can, but it is never a requirement.
There are still face-to-face meetings available for existing members and newcomers which can be found in the local directory on the official website. For members who are unable to physically attend a meeting, online meetings and telephone meetings are also available at this time. If individuals are unable to find any meetings or attend any virtual meetings, there is information that can help them begin recovery without meetings, which can all be found here.
It is not up to the members or program of Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous to diagnose individuals with this addiction; it is completely up to them to admit whether ot not they have a problem. Although each individual can engage in varying destructive behaviors, the official questionnaire has been effective in helping members diagnose their own sex and love addiction. The questionnaire can be found here.
Although everyone is unique in the program in their own way, many of the members of Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous share many similarities and characteristics. There are 12 common characteristics that can help members identify if they are struggling with sex and love addiction.
1. Having few healthy boundaries, we become sexually involved with and/or emotionally attached to people without knowing them.
2. Fearing abandonment and loneliness, we stay in and return to painful, destructive relationships, concealing our dependency needs from ourselves and others, growing more isolated and alienated from friends and loved ones, ourselves, and God.
3. Fearing emotional and/or sexual deprivation, we compulsively pursue and involve ourselves in one relationship after another, sometimes having more than one sexual or emotional liaison at a time.
4. We confuse love with neediness, physical and sexual attraction, pity and/or the need to rescue or be rescued.
5. We feel empty and incomplete when we are alone. Even though we fear intimacy and commitment, we continually search for relationships and sexual contacts.
6. We sexualize stress, guilt, loneliness, anger, shame, fear and envy. We use sex or emotional dependence as substitutes for nurturing care, and support.
7. We use sex and emotional involvement to manipulate and control others.
8. We become immobilized or seriously distracted by romantic or sexual obsessions or fantasies.
9. We avoid responsibility for ourselves by attaching ourselves to people who are emotionally unavailable.
10. We stay enslaved to emotional dependency, romantic intrigue, or compulsive sexual activities.
11. To avoid feeling vulnerable, we may retreat from all intimate involvement, mistaking sexual and emotional anorexia for recovery.
12. We assign magical qualities to others. We idealize and pursue them, then blame them for not fulfilling our fantasies and expectations. | <urn:uuid:bfa54148-7ea2-49cd-8fcf-161b2df91cba> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://12steppers.org/12-step-programs/12-step-programs-for-sex-love-relationship-addiction/sex-and-love-addicts-anonymous-slaa/ | 2023-09-28T18:43:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.96343 | 2,086 |
News Releases from Region 10
EPA provides $20.5 million for Alaska plan to improve drinking water, wastewater infrastructure
State estimates $56 million for wastewater, $28.7 million for drinking water projects
SEATTLE -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today announced it has approved funding in support of Alaska’s $56 million plan to construct key wastewater infrastructure projects, and its $28.7 million plan for bolstering drinking water projects.
The sources of funding for Alaska’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Intended Use Plan include a $9.5 million grant from EPA, $1.9 million state matching funds, plus repayments from prior CWSRF loans, and interest earnings. The state’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Intended Use Plan includes an $11 million EPA grant, along with $2.2 million in state matching funds, plus repayments, and interest.
“The state revolving fund programs are essential to providing all Americans the clean and safe water they deserve,” said EPA Region 10 Administrator Chris Hladick. “EPA is very proud to support Alaska’s plans and we remain committed to helping communities in Alaska with infrastructure improvements that protect their water resources”
The CWSRF program provides below-market rate loans for the construction of wastewater treatment facilities and other projects vital to protecting and improving water quality in rivers, lakes and streams for drinking water, recreation and natural habitat. The loans help communities keep sewer rates more affordable while addressing local water quality problems.
Similarly, the DWSRF program provides below-market rate loans for the construction of drinking water treatment facilities and other projects and activities vital to ensuring the delivery of clean and safe drinking water at the tap. The loans help communities keep water rates more affordable while addressing local water infrastructure challenges.

- $735,000 to the City of King Cove to replace a 50-year old lift station that has ongoing maintenance and safety issues.
- $12.9 million to the Bristol Bay Borough for the Phase II Naknek Sewer System Improvements. This project will replace three aging wastewater lift stations and extend two sewer force mains.
- $75,000 each as Micro Loans to the communities of Noorvik and Kotlik. The project to be funded in Noorvik is replacement of 300 feet of aboveground water and sewer utilidor. For Kotlik, the project involves renovation of five sewer connections, and installation of circulating pumps and shut-off valves.

- $770,719 to the City of Togiak to design and construct a heat recovery system providing waste heat from the power plant to serve the water treatment plant.
- $1.33 million to the Haines Borough to replace approximately 2,900 feet of aging, deteriorating asbestos cement pipe to prevent leaks or a major line break. Design of this work was completed under a previous SRF loan agreement.
- $4 million to the City and Borough of Juneau to replace 5,200 feet of aging water line that has experienced numerous corrosion related failures in recent years.
- $11 million to College Utilities Corporation in Fairbanks to design and construct the Pearl Creek Extension to provide potable water to approximately 749 previously unserved lots.

Revisiting their third album, 2016’s appropriately- titled Three, Phantogram drop a video for “Funeral Pyre.”
Shot from the perspective of the passenger’s seat of a car, director Gianluca Minucci describes the visual as “a phantasmagoric journey, from dawn to dusk, with people, sites, and situations of Los Angeles. The video is a phantom drive in a land of nowhere, where love meets grief, loneliness, violence and desperation. It’s a tragic, Pynchonian elegy, of a world destined to a destroying, but perhaps purifying, fire. A descent to hell, the swan song of a city that celebrates its funeral pyre.”
It’s also kinda NSFW-ish, so… there’s that too. | <urn:uuid:680efe02-dfa6-408e-b46c-33ccb5eb79f8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://2dopeboyz.com/2017/08/24/phantogram-funeral-pyre-video/ | 2023-09-28T16:54:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.902516 | 177 |
Basically, it’s a monthly box jam-packed with carefully selected, high quality yummies. You can choose from 4 different “trunks”, which you can bounce between at your will: Sweet Trunk, Health Trunk, Gourmet Trunk, and BBQ Trunk.
I ordered the Health Trunk, since it was the box with the most vegan options. When I mentioned my veganism to Dawn (co-founder of Taste Trunk), she offered to swap out the non-vegan options and replace them with vegan ones. She also gave me a few vegan items from the “Sweet Trunk” so I could try them out too (items are marked with an asterisk). So nice!!
My box arrived today via priority mail and the thing was SO HEAVY. As any box addict knows, heavy boxes are always a good sign.
I was very impressed by the packaging. See that little circle on the bottom right of the lid? It’s a wax seal! How fancy is that? The little package on top contained a stack of information cards with background info on some of the companies, as well as a few recipes. Nice touch!
Hot Cakes Molten Chocolate Cakery Vegan Caramel Sauce* – This is the item that I’m most excited about trying. I haven’t had caramel sauce in years. This is made with coconut & hemp milk instead of dairy and they craft it the old fashioned way, in small batches. I cannot WAIT to try this stuff! (Retail Price: $12.00)
Cocomels Coconut Milk Caramels in Sea Salt* – Yes!! I keep seeing these in other sub boxes and have been hoping to get them myself someday. That day has finally come! Woo! These are made in copper kettles with “simple ingredients”. They’re gluten free, GMO free, and soy/corn-free. (That’s alotta “frees”!) I’m kind of nervous about tasting these and falling in love… The price for one package (5 pieces) is a wee bit much. Yikes! These are some seriously fancy candies! (Amazon Price: $6.49)
Justin’s Almond Butter in Chocolate & Maple – Yet another product that I’ve always wanted to try! These are nut butters made with simple, all-natural ingredients. They sell jars of this stuff at our local grocery store, but I’m always too cheap to try them. (Well, my husband is!) Now I can try it without committing to a whole jar. Gnarly. (Estimated price for sample sizes: $2.00)
Teatulia Tulsi Infusion Tea (16 count) – I just got this brand of tea in my Juniper box the other day, so I was already a little familiar with it. It’s organic and imported from a single garden in Bangladesh. All of the packaging (including the teabags) are totally compostable. Very cool. (Amazon Price: $8.99)
GloryBee Foods Honey (or Agave?) Sticks – There was a product card included for these, but it didn’t specify whether they’re honey or agave (both of which are offered by GloryBee). This company sells more varieties of honey sticks than anyone else (over 27 natural flavors). (Amazon Price: roughly $2.08)
Dang Toasted Coconut Chips – Whaaaa?! More Dang coconut chips! I just got these in my Juniper box and instantly fell in love! They are so so good. If you like coconut, you’ll love these lil’ chips. As mentioned in my other review, they kinda look like an old man’s toenail clippings. It’s true. But they’re the tastiest toenail clippings I’ve ever had! Wait… What? Bottom line: These are awesome. Go get some. (Amazon Price: roughly $3.21)
Nibnaks in Apple Cosmo, Under the Boardwalk, and Crancherry Tart** – These are old school “health foods” — plain ol’ nuts & fruit. Simple. Healthy. Delicious. All of the ingredients are sourced from local, family-run organic farms in California. Need another reason to try them? They’re called Nibnaks! How could you NOT want to eat something called Nibnaks? “Honey, pass me my Nibnaks…” Awesome. (Retail Price: Roughly $2.20 for 3)
Thoughtful Food Giddy Up & Go Granola “Seriously Seedy” & “Notoriously Nutty” – This granola looks SO good. I love granola with lots of “stuff” in it. Thoughtful Food was started by a mom who found herself (as well as her children) ill due to the foods that they were eating. She began researching different diets and ultimately helped to cure her family of their health issues. This yummy granola is a result of her journey. It’s all natural, organic, dairy/gluten-free, and made with wholesome ingredients. Yum! (Amazon Price: Roughly $3.18 for 2)
“The Jam Stand” Drunken Monkey Jam** – Well, this is something different. Small batch jam made with “sugar coated bananas, a splash of rum and a dash of lime”. This is made in Brooklyn, NY using fresh fruit sourced from local farms. No idea what I’m going to use this on… Vanilla soy ice cream? (Amazon Price: Roughly $1.88)
Vigilant Eats Organic Oat-Based Cereal – I’ve gotten one of these in a Vegan Cuts box, but I still haven’t given it a try. I’m just a little hesitant, since I’m not much of an oatmeal fan and the whole “just add cold water” thing seems odd to me. I’ll make it a point to try one soon though… I promise. They sound very filling & hearty. I’ll probably end up loving it and wish I had tried it sooner… (Amazon Price: $8.00 [$3.99 each])
Peeled Snacks Apple Clusters -I’ve gotten a couple of these before in other boxes. They’re not bad, but I prefer the flavored ones (berry was really good). These ones are made with apples, apple juice concentrate, and potato starch. That’s it. Gluten-free & 100% organic. (Amazon Price: roughly $1.00 for this sample size)
Nunes Farms Sweet Chipotle Almonds – These sound tasty! Grown on a family ranch in California, these nuts go right from farm to market. No scary preservatives and nothing artificial. Just sweet & spicy nutty goodness. (Amazon Price: roughly $2.50 for this sample size)
SO MUCH vegan goodness!! I paid around $20 for my box (with a discount — I’ll get to that in a sec)… All totaled, the items in this box came to $33.04! (With the extras it was $53.53!) Not bad at all!!
If you’d like to get your own monthly “trunk”, head to their site and use the code “2littlerosebuds25” to save 25% off your first month! Woohoo!
*This item was included as an “extra” from the Sweet Trunk.
**This item replaced a non-vegan item from the Health Trunk.

Lilac Diesel is a daring strain that combines a myriad of effects and flavors for a surprisingly high and generally pleasing experience.
Lilac Diesel Strain’s flavorful, potent hybrid strain is selectively bred by Ethos Genetics and is known for its complex terpene profile and bold aroma. Its energetic effects and powerful high make it a perfect afternoon strain.
Lilac Diesel Strain Profile
Lilac Diesel has one of the most interesting lineages, combining not two, but four stellar strains to create this magnificent hybrid.
To create Lilac Diesel, breeders needed to do a lot of tinkering. First, they crossed Silver Lemon Haze with Forbidden Fruit, then crossed NYC Cherry Pie with Citral Glue. Then these two hybrids were crossed to create the potent Lilac Diesel strain.
Lilac Diesel was carefully crossbred from four strains to deliver a potent and energizing smoking experience. This strain has bold notes of citrus, pine, and berries, along with an average THC content of 22% which makes it perfect for beginners and veteran smokers alike.
CBD is the non-psychoactive component of weed; it doesn’t get you high, but it does help calm you down and relieve anxiety. Most strains have 1% CBD or less, so if you want to try smoking for the first time but are worried about getting too high or anxious, Lilac Diesel is a great option.
The Lilac Diesel strain is a 50/50 hybrid and acts like one by combining the powerful body high of an Indica with the active cerebral buzz of a Sativa.
Lilac Diesel Characteristics
Many people are attracted to this strain because of its association with the famous Purple Diesel. Diesels are always a popular strain because they offer a beautiful high, and complex flavor, but paired with something herbal like lavender brings a whole new experience.
This is one of the best strains for people who want to avoid skunky strains, like Blue Cheese, which reek and can be unpleasant in a joint if you don’t enjoy those heavy weed flavors.
Unsurprisingly, the Lilac Diesel strain offers a strong lavender/lilac smell that is pleasing and intoxicating. Along with this delicate, flowery smell and flavor, the strain also has a prominent gasoline smell with a diesel flavor on the exhale. This strain magically combines the chemical smell with a rich, earthy flavor.
Along with the flowery flavors, it also has sweet notes of berries, particularly blackberries and raspberries. For many stoners, Lilac Diesel has one of the most enjoyable flavors without sacrificing a potent high.
This rich and complex taste comes from the distinct lineage of this strain that combines four of the tastiest strains in existence.
The combination of fruity flavors with powerful citrus strains leads to this herbal strain that many people find mild on the tongue and throat. So it’s another excellent choice if harsh smoke sends you into painful coughing fits. Lilac Diesel is smooth and yummy!
While the citrus notes come through subtly, unlike these strain parents, you still get hints of lemon and pine. The most prominent terpenes in Lilac Diesel are Terpinolene, Pinene, and Sabinene.
Lilac Diesel also has a lovely appearance, with a pastel color green highlighted by undertones of purple and resin strings of amber. The nugs are large and thick, but not as densely packed as other diesel strains.
The Lilac Diesel Experience
Lilac Diesel’s delightful aroma and delicious appearance are matched by a smooth, uplifting smoking experience. This hybrid strain gives you a full body high and a cerebral buzz that is perfect for smoking after work.
Overall, the effects of this flowery strain include a light-headed euphoria paired with munchies and a soft, sleepy comedown. Many people become more talkative and creative while enjoying this strain. But others find it to focus their brain, making it ideal for doing work or creating art.
Lilac Diesel is a potent hybrid that combines the best parts of the Indica and Sativa experiences, marrying a smooth, delicious body high with an energizing and euphoric headrush that will have you up on your feet and ready for adventure.
How can a strain make you hazy and focused? Well, it can’t. People just seem to have varied reactions and high associated with this strain. This wide range of effects can be attributed to the complex combination of parent strains, all of which offer a different high.
The other aspect that makes this strain so fascinating is the THC and CBD levels. The THC levels are high enough that they can uplift you, but the CBD and CBG levels are high enough to bring you back down. And people’s brains and bodies respond differently to all three compounds.
Someone stoner may reap the benefits of the relaxing CBD, while someone else gets hit with a focused and social high from the THC. And to be honest, this is the beauty of having so many different strains available, as not every strain suits every stoner.
As one might expect, the strain is helpful for people with anxiety, high stress, depression, and sometimes insomnia. Overall, it’s ideal for lifting your mood.
Unfortunately, this strain also has some negative side effects to report. The top complaint is that it can cause headaches, which hit as the high fades and persist until you smoke more. This effect can make people uncomfortable, but not everyone experiences this with Lilac Diesel.
Along with headaches, some people also feel anxious or dizzy, but these negatives are less common and probably occur in newbie smokers with low THC and CBD tolerance. The dizziness likely comes from the CBD, while the anxiety can stem from the THC.
Growing Lilac Diesel
Want to grow Lilac Diesel? You’re in luck! This plant is one of the easiest strains to grow, as are most diesel strains. However, this strain grows much better indoors, as the many variables outdoors become too hard to control. It can be grown outside, but the yield will be much smaller.
The strain has a small indoor yield too, which may disappoint some growers. But the low yield is why it’s so easy to grow! And it only has a flowering period of 45 to 50 days, and you can harvest on day 50, which is almost half the time of other strains.
For successful outdoor growth, you can expect about 18 ounces per plant. For indoor growers, you get closer to 25 ounces per plant.
Another aspect that makes this plant easy to grow is that the seeds are easy to find. You can buy feminized Lilac Diesel seeds from several companies online, so you don’t need to scour the internet or find cuttings from friends to grow this plant.
For newbie growers, Lilac Diesel is one of the best strains to start with. It requires moderate light and moderate watering and will put up with higher or lower temperatures. And the beautiful buds will give you a proud feeling after you cure them!
Lilac Diesel Strain Reviews and Prices
As discussed, the reviews concerning the Lilac Diesel strain can be all over the place. Some smoke this before a productive day, while others say it couch-locks them with a bag of Doritos in hand. In the end, try the strain for yourself to see how it affects you.
But what is clear from the reviews is that this strain hits everyone differently. And no one debates how intoxicating the flowery diesel smell is, combining two scents you wouldn’t expect in the same strain.
While Lilac Diesel flower is plenty popular, many people prefer to buy Lilac Diesel resin, shatter, or wax. This trend may be because shatter and wax do not have CBD or CBG, only THC, delivering a more expected Sativa-leaning high.
And buying Lilac Diesel is typically easy, as most dispensaries in areas like DC, Boston, California, and Colorado have Lilac Diesel from time to time. But it’s one of the most popular strains among Colorado smokers.
And because it’s easy to come by, it’s also pretty affordable, typically costing $20 for an eighth and sometimes as little as $100 for an ounce.
Also if you want to get your hands on some high-quality Lilac Diesel Strain seeds, here is a great place to try.
Until you try Lilac Diesel, it’s hard to understand what the high is like. But with one whiff at the dispensary, you’ll want to try this fascinating combination of chemicals and fruit.
Next time you head to your favorite dispensary or open your weed delivery app, consider trying this flowery and potent strain!

My New Friend, Leo Tolstoy
In these troubling times, many people are asking how to lead a good life. Is it enough to get a career, marry, have two children, earn a good income and be generous to others? Should the person take some responsibility for the problems in the world and contribute toward making a better world?
I keep hoping to find a role model who has dealt with difficult times and who undertook actions to make the world a better place.
This led me to spend time thinking about Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910). He led a most interesting life. Born into an aristocratic and wealthy family, he joins the military, fights as a brave soldier, writes one of the world’s great novels, War and Peace, and ends up going through a profound change in his beliefs and behavior.
Tolstoy experienced a profound moral crisis in the 1870s, followed by a profound spiritual awakening. Instead of accepting the world as it was, he saw the need for a new humanistic consciousness. He saw that his family was blessed with a lot of wealth and property while so many other people were going hungry. He came to the view that the right thing to do is to help the poor by setting up schools and giving away his property.
Tolstoy described himself as a Christian but he did not belong to an institutional Church such as the Russian Orthodox Church. For his criticism he was excommunicated in 1901. By declaring himself as a Christian, Tolstoy meant that he believed in the 10 Commandments. He believed in the teachings of Jesus, but he did not comment on Jesus’ miracles or divinity. Tolstoy believed in leading a simple ascetic life. He preferred to be vegetarian, non-smoking, a teetotaler and chaste. Having lived through the horrors of war, he became a Christian pacifist believing in nonresistance. He believed in love your enemy, don’t be angry, don’t lust.
Tolstoy also was critical of the State, including the police, law courts and army. He felt that agents of the state were capable of immoral, violent, and corrupt practices. He was appalled by slavery and the condition of the serfs. He would look favorably upon persons who criticized or fought against coercive state policies.
Tolstoy set up as many as 13 schools to educate the children of serfs. He began to give away portions of his property. This made his wife Sophia angry because she felt that their wealth belonged to their children. She had fears of bankruptcy. Tolstoy finally decided to leave his wife and he trained to another destination, only to get sick, He shortly died afterwards.
Tolstoy’s life is one of reflection and transformation. His reading of the Sermon on the Mount triggered his interest in helping the helpless. Jesus provided a model of the simple but serving life. Tolstoy’s transformation was an inspiration to Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. and their philosophy of nonresistance. Tolstoy remains an inspiration to those who want to reform Christianity to return it to its original values. He is an inspiration to those who criticize and oppose harsh, violent or corrupt behaviors of persons entrusted with government. | <urn:uuid:662bb957-ce6a-4173-9473-242798b84847> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://4pkotler.medium.com/my-new-friend-leo-tolstoy-d660ddc8c753 | 2023-09-28T18:51:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.982675 | 681 |

August’s Derecho Thunderstorm Was Costliest In US History
The August 10th storm, which hit Iowa the hardest and also impacted us here in Illinois, along with Ohio, Minnesota, and Indiana, resulted in damages of around $7.5 billion.
I can't personally claim that kind of loss from the storm, but my daughter's car had a really bad day when the derecho came rolling through the Rockford area (so did the tree in our front yard).
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), August's storm is the fourth-most expensive severe storm since 1980, and the second-costliest disaster so far in 2020. Hurricane Laura, which slammed the Gulf Coast in late August, resulted in about $14 billion in damages.
The August derecho grew out of a cluster of thunderstorms ranging from southeast South Dakota to Ohio. In a 14-hour span, it traveled east 770 miles across the Midwest, hitting Iowa the hardest with windspeeds of 100-plus miles per hour.
The scope of crop damage has been heartbreaking for Iowa farmers. About 850,000 Iowa crop acres were flattened and an estimated 57 million bushels of Iowa grain storage capacity were damaged or destroyed, heightening the struggle for farmers during a harvest unlike any other before. A total of at least 14 million crop acres were impacted from the derecho, and estimates of crop acres lost are expected to grow. | <urn:uuid:4518bd0c-290c-457c-91d6-e42c8e69f8fb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://97zokonline.com/augusts-derecho-thunderstorm-was-costliest-in-us-history/ | 2023-09-28T17:47:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.959867 | 295 |
Lumira - Black Candle Sicilian Citrus
This sparkling tribute to the Mediterranean draws its inspiration from the arid land and lush coastlines of Sicily, where centuries-old blood orange orchards overlook the sparkling turquoise sea. The sweetness of the orange blossom is intoxicating, its honeyed scent wrapped in the opulence of tuberose and jasmine. The addition of zesty tangerine pierces the blossoms, bringing a sharper edge to enliven the mind and the body.åÊ
Light this scented candle to invigorate early mornings and workday afternoons.
Top: neroli petals, orange, tangerine, white peach
Middle: jasmine, tuberose, orange blossom
Base: floral musk
300g | approximately 80 hour burn time
CANDLE CARE: To ensure an even and smoke-free burn, the wick should be trimmed to a length of 5mm each time before lighting.

Chips in your windshield are not only annoying, but they can become costly problems over time. It seems like a good solution would be to avoid getting any chips in the first place, though that is often beyond our control.
However, there are things you can do to make it less likely you will get windshield damage. A1 Windshield explains four tips for avoiding windshield chips.
1. Keep Back From Construction Vehicles
Dump trucks and vehicles hauling heavy machinery often have signs that say “Keep Back 200 Feet” for a good reason. Most dump trucks are carrying rocks, gravel, or dirt, and have no control over stray pieces that fly out on the highway. Following closely behind a dump truck traveling at high speeds puts you in the direct path of stray objects that might fly out.
The same thing applies to heavy machinery like dozers and excavators, which are often being hauled to and from construction sites. They are covered in hardened mud and other debris, which are likely to break loose on the highway.

2. Avoid Dirt and Gravel Roads
Driving on unpaved roads is another way to kick up loose rocks and gravel that can damage your auto glass. It is probably less likely to chip your windshield than hitting rocks at high speeds on the highway, but it can still happen. If you have to take an unpaved road, go slowly and be mindful of potholes. Don’t follow closely behind anyone else on the road as well.
3. Keep Your Car in the Garage
This sounds like a simple solution, but it can be pretty effective. When you are not driving your vehicle, keep it parked in the garage. The garage protects your car from extreme weather conditions like high winds, which can toss branches and other objects around, and hail, which can damage the body of your vehicle as well as your windshield.
It can also protect your car from lawnmowers throwing rocking across the yard, baseballs and other neighborhood toys, and a number of other flying objects just waiting to come into contact with your auto glass.
4. Be Cautious in Parking Lots
Obviously, you can’t avoid parking lots, but you can be mindful of your surroundings and where you park your car. Try to park away from crowded areas where there is a lot of foot traffic. If you see someone out mowing the property, park away from the grassy areas where they might mow right past your car. Don’t park under large trees that might drop things like branches or walnuts.

Exclusive: Steubenville Teens on Tape Describe Night of Sexual Assault
In videotaped police interviews from the Steubenville, Ohio, rape case that the public has not seen, police talk to many of the teenage partiers who witnessed the 16-year-old victim getting more and more intoxicated.
"I could tell that she was gradually getting more drunk and worse throughout the night," said Farrah Marcino, 16. "Just, like, that she couldn't, like, she didn't walk."
"She was a mess," said Anthony Craig, 18. "She wasn't responding. "
The question many are asking now may be: Why did Craig and others stand by and watch the victim being sexually assaulted rather than call for help? And why did they spread the assault around town, turning it into a social media event?
Watch the full story on "20/20? tonight at 10 p.m. ET
Craig told detectives that he took two pictures at the home where the assault occurred. Those photos were deleted and never recovered, but police did find two nude photos of the victim on high school football player Trent Mays' cell phone.
On the night of the crime, tweets were posted and a YouTube video was made joking about it. An Instagram photo of Mays, 17, and fellow football player Ma'lik Richmond, 16, carrying the seemingly unconscious body of the victim was also uploaded.
Mays and Richmond were convicted of rape Sunday for penetrating the victim with their fingers and sentenced to at least one year in a juvenile detention center.
"She was passed out," Craig told detectives. "That's when they picked her up, and they carried her out of the house."
"She wanted to go with Trent. Like, we just kept trying to tell her: 'You don't want to do this. You don't want to go with them,'" Marcino said. "I just let her do what she want[ed], which I understand was wrong."
Investigators want to know how so many honor students, athletes and all-American kids could just stand by and let it all happen.
"Think about the number of students that witnessed this, that saw this," said Denice Evans, a documentarian. "What about the ones that didn't text or tweet, but that were there watching. … If you're drinking alcohol - a lot of teens are drinking alcohol - they have just entered the phase where decision-making is completely gone out the window. There's no deciding right or wrong in a moment."
Evans said there was no impulse control when an adolescent brain was mixed with alcohol, social media and power.
Days before the guilty verdict was delivered, Richmond shared with ABC News, exclusively, his mindset that night.
"I realize that I did, I was doing wrong by drinking and partying, you know, after dark," he said. "But I really did not, I didn't rape anybody. I didn't witness a rape going on. And if I would have thought that somebody was being raped or anything like that, I would have stopped it.
"I really just think that everybody was just, had a few drinks in them and they wasn't really thinking," he said. "I think everybody was just out of their minds, see."

2023 DEAC Famous Alumni
Meet Dr. Janet Carter, the ACHS 2023 DEAC Famous Alumni! Janet graduated with a Master of Science in Herbal Medicine from ACHS in 2022. She is currently a pharmacist employed at the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she is dedicated to finding alternative holistic modalities to serve the needs of Veterans.
Her initial goal in enrolling at ACHS was to integrate her knowledge of traditional medicine with non-conventional medicine.
Choosing Herbal Medicine with ACHS
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, she was inspired to focus on health-related academics. Intending to provide additional modernized holistic options to Veterans and providers, she studied Herbal Medicine.
When Dr. Carter started her program at ACHS, she worked as a Field Implementation Team (FIT) Consultant with the Office of Patient-Centered Care and Cultural Transformation within the Department of Veterans Affairs. Within this office, she worked diligently to share different methods of complementary alternative treatment modalities with Veterans and providers. Dr. Carter thought the best way to share her expertise with her background as a Pharmacist was through Herbal Medicine.
Dr. Carter has always had the mindset that Mother Nature provides. She has a deep respect and passion for nature and plants. She enjoyed her Advanced Herbal classes at ACHS, where she could look at the plants more intricately. She feels that pharmacy and medicine are more than just science; they are an art as well. She was able to grasp both the art and the science aspects within her Wellness Coaching & Communication Skills and Advanced Herbal Materia Medica classes.
During her time with ACHS, Dr. Carter endured a difficult hardship when her mother passed in April 2021. She expressed that her professors were kind, nurturing, and really cared. She was motivated to preserve her mother’s honor, so she persevered, graduating with honors. She says that “ACHS has been a strength and a guiding light in my life and I am deeply grateful that I could use the courses as an escape from my grief.”
Dr. Carter was highly satisfied with her experience and felt that ACHS was the best fit for her education based on proximity, instructor support, institutional credibility, and the flexible online learning offered.

Janet Carter’s Background
- Field Implementation Team (FIT) Consultant with the Office of Patient-Centered Care and Cultural Transformation
Impact on the Field of Holistic Health
Dr. Carter is dedicated to finding alternative holistic modalities to serve the needs of Veterans by actively providing research to support the use of Herbal Medicine in Veteran healthcare. Dr. Carter believes that cultural transformation of this magnitude will take years; however, she feels this mission is necessary to assist military personnel, and the public, to view nontraditional methods as an alternative to medications such as opioids.
Dr. Carter recently received a promotion to the new role of End User Engagement Lead for the Federal Electronic Health Records Management (FEHRM) Program Officer department with the Veterans Administration. This promotion was no small feat as she was up against 560 qualified applicants. She states that “attaining a Master’s from ACHS helped me have the confidence in my writing and communication skills to apply for this opportunity.”
Through teaching classes and developing instructional content and courses for other providers, Dr. Carter has made significant contributions to her profession, utilizing her ACHS coursework and expertise to enhance the quality of content. Dr. Carter expresses that “finishing a degree with honors has bolstered my self-confidence and efforts to keep sharing alternative treatments. I am grateful to ACHS for allowing me this opportunity for growth and achievement”. Dr. Carter plans to further her contributions to the field of herbal medicine by increasing awareness, conducting research, and providing education to her profession.
Congratulations Dr. Janet Carter for being our 2023 DEAC Famous Alumni!

Greetings race fans. Fancy title, isn’t it? I’m sure some of you are wondering just what the heck I’m talking about. Well, it’s pretty simple really. On the periodic table, Iron (Fe) has an atomic number of 26. Aluminum (Al) has an atomic number of 13, or in other words, half that of iron. Have you put it together yet? Yup, this race report will be about my recent experience in Huntsville taking part in the Ironman 70.3 event there (a half-Ironman). Of course, this isn’t my first 1/2, or even full Iron-distance tri, but it was my first crack at an ‘official’ Ironman-branded event. It was also one of two that I will do this year, since in a few weeks, I’ll be tackling the full Ironman event at the same venue! Read on for more pictures, details and a video of my race experience in a place that has a special place in my heart!
For any of you that are unfamiliar with the basics of a triathlon, or indeed a half-Ironman, let me break it down to you. Swim. Bike. Run. In that order, in different lengths depending on the event. Always continuous and on a marked course. For a half Ironman, it is typically a 1.9km swim, followed by a 90km bike, capped off with a 21.1km run. Between each leg, you visit your transition zone where you change, grab any food and/or equipment you need, and make your way to the next section. There is no external help, and on the bike, you can not draft off people around you. Each competitor must complete the race using their own power only.
For my album of pictures click the left and right arrows on the image below, and you’ll see all the pics I have of the event.
So, why Muskoka / Huntsville? Well, for starters I love the area. It’s very nature-oriented with great lakes and scenery. Secondly, it is where I got together with the love of my life, and eventually even proposed to her there. The host venue, Deerhurst, is where we got engaged, and in fact, the location of the swim start of the race is precisely WHERE I genuflected and put the ring on her finger! Also, we have some friends in the area that are gracious enough to host us on occasion when we visit, making it a nearly perfect getaway. Also, when I decided to embark on my first ‘official’ Ironman, I realized it would be the first time they hosted one in Muskoka, so I figured I’d tackle the inaugural event, and racing in the Ironman 70.3 event in advance of that would give me a good sense of the course.
Ironman-branded events are known for their efficiency, great support, and organization. They feature lots of onsite information, organized logistics for things like parking and moving around the area. This was my first experience with the ‘Ironman machine’, and overall, I was reasonably impressed. Admittedly, after doing hundreds of events, I’ve seen the entire spectrum, and while I wouldn’t say it was the best I’ve ever seen, it was definitely better than average, definitely in terms of the sheer number of people helping out making sure everything was smoothly executed. Despite there being nearly 1,400 athletes, I got through the whole sign in process very quickly, walking out with my race number, timing chip and swag bag in under 10 minutes (including filling in waivers!). The key? They put people where they were needed and these volunteers knew exactly what to do in their posts!
In addition to the registration area onsite, there was a modest race expo with a number of vendors showing off their wares, a bike tune-up / tech area, and of course the ‘official’ Ironman merchandise store. I was blown away by just how much merch the IM machine churns out, and equally surprised at the number of people stocking up, kitting out their whole family in commemorative gear. Certainly looks lucrative. In case there was any doubt, I bought nothing. The experience, coupled with the finishers hat, medal and t-shirt were enough for me.
After cruising the expo / store area, I also had the opportunity to listen to an Ironman legend give a talk on how to build from your Ironman 70.3 to the Ironman event just 8 weeks later. So who was the legend? None other than Lisa Bentley, an 11x IM Champ! She not only knows a thing or two about Ironman racing, but is a local hero, and one of the driving forces that got this race going in the Muskoka region. I listened to her talk, and took a few mental notes on how I might apply her tips to my own situation (which is a bit complicated with things like a 6-day trail running race in Colorado BETWEEN the two events …).
Once that was over, it was time for an all-athletes briefing to let us know how things would unfold the next day, including details on food on course, things to watch for, time cutoffs, etc. They made plenty of time for any questions, to make sure that all the athletes left the briefing comfortable that they knew what to expect. With that out of the way, it was time for a nice supper with friends in Huntsville, sort my transition bag one final time, and head off to slumber land before the 4:30am wake up, to allow time for eating, drinking, digesting, and setting up my final T-zone before heading to the waters’ edge for the swim start.
The weather was gorgeous! Temperatures in the morning were ideal for getting in the water, and starting to exert yourself but not overheating. For those curious, the water was definitely cold enough that wetsuits were worn by pretty much everyone. For my swim, I didn’t really know how I’d do, but hoped to swim similar in speed to my last events. I can definitely say that training in my pool using the Swim Tether that I bought has been very beneficial. Had it not been for that, I likely would not have gotten much swimming done at all!
I waded into the water, with my age 40-45 red-capped competitors for the start. As it turns out, my age category boasted the biggest field and the greatest depth of talent. Say good by to ANY podium hopes on this one! I eased into a smooth pace, deciding to relax and enjoy the day, and not get caught up in the start pandemonium that can catch racers off guard at the start. Before long, I was swimming along smoothly pretty much undisturbed, near what I can only figure was about the top 25% of my group. The water was clear and refreshing, and swimming towards the rising sun was pretty special. It put me in a great mental state before finishing the swim loop and moving towards the next leg of the race.
Although the water exit was only wide enough for 2-4 racers at a time, there was no bunch up at all. Volunteers were on hand to help you climb up the exit stairs in case you didn’t have your land legs. Then, after crossing an arch and the timing mats, there were teams of strippers (wetsuit strippers that is!) to help us out. You just had to undo your zipper, flop to the ground, and they would peel you like a banana, toss your wetsuit back to you and cheer you on as you trotted up the steep, long climb back to transition. Luckily, with the adrenaline, I hardly noticed the 300+m uphill slog, and found myself face to face with my bike in good time. I wasted little time putting on socks, shoes, helmet and running out to the mount / dismount line.
What can I tell you about the bike? Well, for starters, although I had mentioned that the bike leg of a half Ironman is typically 90km, they made this one 94km. Just for fun 🙂 Or maybe because that was the only logical loop roughly that length in the area… At any rate, it was a doozy. Plenty of rolling hills the entire way. There were virtually no flat sections to speak of. On the plus side, it kept things interesting, but the flipside to that is that it was pretty taxing after a while.
Luckily, pretty much all my training is on hills and non-flat roads in Gatineau Park, so I’d say I was well prepared mentally for this type of course. As tempting as it would be to ride along with people and chat, such behaviour is actually an actionable offense. Penalties can abound if you are either blocking, drafting, or riding beside someone. Too bad, as I think it might make triathletes a more friendly bunch if they could just talk to each other on the bike 🙂 I saw bikes of all sorts out there on the course, from super top end tri machines to Canadian Tire specials! As I already knew though, the bike is secondary to the engine powering it. Granted, if you are at the pointy end of the stick, I’m sure the more aero bikes can give you those precious minutes, but in my level, I’m happy on my steed, and focus on form and technique.
For my efforts, I’d say I was rewarded. I managed to complete the whole 94km rolling course in 3:04, which is over 30km/hr, and a speed I was VERY happy with. I had planned on averaging something closer to 28km/hr, so I had some ‘found time’ to work with now. The roads had been quite good, and the aid stations well staffed and well placed. Anytime I thought I could benefit from a fresh bottle or some food, it seemed I hit an aid station (and there were only 3 on course). I had brought my own nutrition, but good to know there was food available had I needed it. I took advantage of the Gatorade out there to supplement my Nuun, and make sure I was well hydrated, as the weather was getting warmer as the day progressed, and overheating on the run is no fun (as I have experienced many times…).
Rolling back into transition, I had mentally worked out my plan, so it was another quick transition for me. Change of shoes, grab some Fruit2 snacks, trade the helmet for a cap, and off I went. I was hoping to crush the run, since in my mind it is my strong suit. I was only partially right. Compared to many other racers, I was definitely a faster runner in my age category, but the overall time was not all that impressive, but I guess given we had already swam 1.9k and cycled a tough 94km course, that is to be expected. I don’t know why, but I always imagine I should be able to bang out a 1h30min half marathon each time. I have to learn to adjust expectations.
I must say, I definitely did start out quite strong, passing a lot of people on my way out of Deerhurst and into the hills that feature prominently at the start as we made our way to Highway 60. I felt light on my feet, and very happy given my strong bike time. Kilometer after kilometer I plodded on, until I was in the town of Huntsville and got to see the lovely Deanna for the first time since my swim exit. She had been on course taking photos and video while I was racing, and had staked out a nice spot in town. I ran over and gave her an ‘air kiss’ before trotting off towards the turnaround a couple kilometers further.
That’s when my GI issues kicked in a bit. Until then, I’d stopped 2 times (once on bike, once just after the run transition) to relieve myself, but now I was feeling some definite churning below that I know too well from other races. I had to make a slightly longer stop in a pink porta-pottie before I could head back out. After that, while I didn’t have to stop for a pottie again, I did get some nasty stomach cramps, first on my left side, then on my right. I sucked my energy out. I’m pretty good at managing pain, but these were cramps that I literally COULDN’T run while having them. At one point, I was limping as fast as I could while squeezing my side as hard as I could to stop the pain. It was far from pleasant, and I was wracking my brain trying to understand what caused it. I hadn’t strayed too far off my normal nutrition plan, so it might have just been bad luck this time.
At any rate, the next 5 or so kilometers were ‘painfully’ slow. My reward for suffering through the rest of the run was a time of 1:48:07 on the half marathon run. Still a very decent time in my age group, but I KNOW I could have shaved about 5 minutes off that with no GI / cramping issues. Regardless, I didn’t let that hamper my spirits. If I had been out to win, it might have mattered, but my goals are pushing myself, and enjoying the course, both of which I achieved. As a result, when I crossed the line with a final time of 5:34:18, I couldn’t complain, and had a huge smile on my face. Certainly better than the 6 hour prediction I had made due to the terrain.
The other great thing (as always) after crossing the line was the fact that Deanna was there to congratulate me and tell me she was proud of me. At times after races, I can be self-deprecating if I’m not happy how it went, but without fail, she tells me I’m awesome, and it just makes you feel good to know someone thinks you rock! After the obligatory finish-line hang out, enjoying cold water, even colder Erdinger alcohol-free beer (check out where it stands in rankings here), and watching other racers finish, it was back to the expo hall for a post-race meal and the awards.
The food was quite good, which wasn’t that surprising given that we were being hosted at a resort. The awards were typical, in that we had to go through all the age groups, and it was just a big room of people waiting to learn whether or not they had won slots into the Ironman 70.3 World Champs. There are a number of slots up for grabs in most age categories, and if you get one, you have to sign-up and pay ON THE SPOT for the privilege of racing in Austria. I was glad I didn’t have to stick around for all that! Probably the funnest part was the fact that the top male and female finishers each won gigantic mugs of the Erdinger alcohol free beer as part of their prizing, which just looked goofy and awesome!
All in all, I was definitley impressed with the event, and would recommend it to any looking to take on an Ironman 70.3 event in a beautiful venue. If there is one other thing worth mentioning it is the fact that the entire community is behind this event. Most volunteers were residents, many of them both volunteering and taking part on things like relay teams, etc. There is obviously a huge benefit for local businesses and the community, and they have recognized and embraced this. In spite of roads being semi-opened to traffic all along the route, I never once witnessed any bad behaviour by angry locals, which is more than I can say for other races I’ve done.
If you’ve gotten all the way here, but don’t quite think you got the full sense of the race, then you’re in luck, since I was also filming the event. Below is my final video showing various aspects of the entire race, and giving an idea of the scenery. Watch and enjoy, then keep your eyes peeled on this site for future stories from my upcoming race in Colorado! 6 days of trail running Nirvana!

Hey Sunday Brewers!
We’ve got some absolute GOLD in store for you today, including…
✅ The 2-minute exercise to instantly destroy stress upon arrival
✅ A simple script for reaching out to clients to show you care
✅ Weekly market updates and 30-second recap
But first…a heartwarming story about loving your neighbor as yourself.
The First Sip
A man in Prineville, Oregon walked 33 miles to work last week to make sure he didn’t miss his shift.
That’s not a typo…33 miles.
The journey started after Eric Akers’ car broke down and he had no way to pay for transportation.
“I needed to get to work no matter what. So I woke up early — about 9AM. Started around 10AM. Left for Bend [Oregon] and it took about 6 1/2 hours, but I made the trek,” Eric said.
After the long trek, he worked an 8–hour shift and stayed with a nearby co-worker for the rest of the week.
Pretty soon after his journey, Eric’s story made its way to the local news.
Chris Arsenault, a nearby farmer, scrolled upon the story while on his tractor and immediately called his wife.
“We decided we have more cars than we need, so we wanted to give him this little Honda,” Chris said.
They called Eric out to the farm and asked him if he’d like the vehicle.
“He just handed me the paperwork for the car and told me it’s mine,” Eric recalled. “The kindness and generosity of the community has been overwhelming.”
When asked why he would give away a perfectly good vehicle to someone he didn’t even know, Chris said he felt it was the right thing to do.
“I think that, especially in today’s times, we need to help people. We need to help our neighbors. My hope is that we can all take time to help somebody.”
1 Caffeinated Neurohack
A little rhythmic breathing can help you bust the tension and instantly feel better.
Science shows slow, rhythmic breathing activates the vagus nerve – which is the massive nerve that runs through most of your body and links your brain to your heart, gut, and lungs – and relaxes the body.
The vagus nerve is also part of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for slowwwwing down the fight-or-flight response.
When your brain realizes that it no longer has to run or fight, blood flow returns to your hands, feet, and organs.
This leads you to feel more relaxed.
You can activate the vagus nerve by doing the following:
- Breathe in through your nose for a count of 5.
- HOLD for a count of 2.
- Breathe out through your mouth for a count of 6.
Repeat this process for a minute or two and you’ll feel a sense of calm rush over your body.
I recommend doing this a few times each day – particularly when you feel overwhelmed.
☕ TL;DR: Use this 2-minute exercise to instantly destroy stress.
What’s New in SHIFT Nation?
If you’re an insurance or financial advisor, you need to stop what you’re doing and watch this 3 minute and 20 second video!
Mel shares the one underlying theme she heard in 57 phone calls with financial advisors last week.
🔹 Power shift. The housing market feels like a seesaw. After two weeks of significant declines, 30-year fixed mortgage rates jumped back up to 5.51% this week.
Simultaneously, some of the leverage is shifting away from sellers and into the hands of buyers. Of 60,000 home purchases conducted last month, Redfin says 14.9 percent were canceled and 7 percent had a price drop.
🔹 Relief in sight? Could inflation have an end in sight? The IMF chief says inflation will be tamed by 2023 when the full effect of rate hikes start to work. In the meantime, college is getting even more expensive…leaving many families wondering what to do.
🔹 Minimum whoa! As inflation rises, the effective value of the $7.25 federal minimum wage (which has stayed the same since 2009) has declined to record lows. After adjusting for inflation, a worker earning minimum wage today makes 27.4 percent less than they did in July 2009.
In your corner,
Jeremiah D. Desmarais

Building back better: African Development Bank to launch Strategy for Economic Governance in Africa
What: Launch of the Strategy for Economic Governance in Africa 2021-2025
Who: The African Development Bank
When: Friday, 2 July 2021, 10:30-11:30 GMT
On Friday, 2 July 2021, the African Development Bank will launch a comprehensive five-year Strategy for Economic Governance in Africa (SEGA).
The strategy will serve as the Bank’s operating manual for fostering public sector effectiveness at national and sub-national levels by stimulating structural transformation in Africa, and ensuring that citizens, communities and civic groups participate in public sector governance.
It is also designed as the Bank’s master plan for building back better following the economic devastation of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Through the Strategy for Economic Governance in Africa, the Bank is building on its commitment to continue the gains in governance across Africa and improve the capability of its regional member countries to make economic development sustainable and inclusive.
The event will be attended by government ministers and other senior officials and experts from all over Africa. It will highlight the action areas of the strategy that aim to support Africa’s development objectives in line with the Bank’s High 5 development priorities.
The Strategy for Economic Governance in Africa was developed following consultation with governments and non-state actors across Africa. It replaces the Bank’s Governance Strategic Framework and Action Plan (GAP-II), which covered the 2014-2020 period.
The launch follows the Bank’s Annual Meetings, which focused on “Building Resilient Economies in Post Covid-19 Africa.” | <urn:uuid:1e34bb33-ae45-4145-af8e-a47932a0d011> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://african.partners/building-back-better-african-development-bank-to-launch-strategy-for-economic-governance-in-africa/ | 2023-09-28T17:04:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.926886 | 348 |

The man who helped me the most with regard to advice, concerns and strategies, in dealing with the Zimbabweans was Dr Chris Jordaan. Chris Jordaan had been a chaplain in the SADF, but had moved into Military Intelligence. He passed away in 2007 from cancer.
Chris told me that he spent 20 years in Military Intelligence and that he was well known in European Intelligence circles.
He appeared often on Radio Pretoria and he had many old SADF contacts. I met some intelligence officers through him. Some had been of the rank of Major or Colonel.
A particularly interesting one was Dr Jan Du Plessis who had been South Africa’s expert on the Soviet Union. I published his prediction in 2006 for what South Africa would be like in the years to come and his predictions have come true. He said, in a nutshell, that business would take over the functions of some aspects of Govt. In SA the Police are the best example of this. The Private Security Industry basically does the policing for South Africa, especially for whites. One can also see how the failures of the Post Office has resulted in various attempts to bypass them.
CURRICULUM VITAE – DR CHRIS JORDAAN
After matriculating at school Dr Jordaan he studied theology. He got an MA in Cultural Studies and later on he got a Doctorate in National Strategy.
He started his career as a minister in religion in Potchefstroom and later was appointed as a Chaplain of the South African Defence Force. He later served in Military Intelligence.
He studied further in strategy and management and is a member of professional organisations such as SAACIP and SCIP International (Society for Competitive Intelligence Professionals). He was the Chairman of the Marcus Evans International Conference of Intelligence. He also lectured there.
He has studied Land Reform in Brazil, Argentina and in other South American countries.
He was appointed as the Director of AntiKom which is an anti-Communist Action Commission of Afrikaans Churches. He was responsible to putting out information and publications. He has a good knowledge of the worldwide communist onslaught as well as Psychological warfare.
Later Dr Jordaan worked as a consultant specialising in management programs, leadership training and strategic goal-structuring.
He became the Secretary General of the South African Chamber for Agricultural Development in Africa. In this position he dealt directly with African governments such as that of Mozambique, with regard to Commercial Farming.
He wrote a book on Property Rights and Land Reform around the world. It was commissioned by the Transvaal Agricultural Union after they had held an International Conference on Property Rights.
Dr Jordaan also consulted and assisted the Commercial Farmers Union in Zimbabwe.
In 2004 he was appointed by the Transvaal Agricultural Union as the Manager of Property Rights.
He also has an interest in furthering the interests of Afrikaners. He created the Independent Economic Research Trust for the furthering of the economic freedom of Afrikaners. He is the Chairman of the Institute for National Minorities in S. Africa who look after the interests of minorities in S. Africa.

Women leaders from around the world took centre stage at the United Nations General Assembly calling for women’s land rights at a music-filled event to mark Desertification and Drought Day.
Speakers from countries as diverse as Canada to Chad, Iceland to Lesotho, shared their experiences and explained how droughts, land degradation and desertification are disproportionately impacting the women and girls in their communities.
United Nations Secretary General António Guterres said: “We depend on land for our survival. Yet, we treat it like dirt.” He blamed unsustainable farming for eroding soil 100 times faster than natural processes can restore them and said 40% of land is now degraded.
Speaking passionately about the generations of farmers in his family, Csaba Kőrösi, President of the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly, said: “The data could not be clearer. When women farmers have access to own land, they grow more and so do their children and nations. Together, these positive shifts in women’s empowerment have a ripple effect on income, and children’s welfare.”
The first-ever female Prime Minister of Namibia, Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila, spoke about what Namibia is doing to go above and beyond on women’s land rights. And there were also video messages from the Prime Minister of Iceland Katrín Jakobsdóttir and Vice-President of Spain Teresa Ribero Rodríguez.
Sonia Guajajara, Brazil’s first-ever Minister of Indigenous Peoples, delivered an impassioned plea in support of Indigenous women leaders in her country. Jennifer Littlejohn, Acting Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, represented the United States, highlighting its government’s commitment to gender equity and equality.
The event was jointly organized by the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), UN-Women, UN Food and Agriculture Organization, UN Human Rights and the UN Development Programme to mark the annual Desertification and Drought Day, which falls on June 17th. | <urn:uuid:1ca0ef23-c71a-440e-bfdc-36bdcb12a3a0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://africanian.com/culture/global-leaders-call-to-action-on-womens-land-rights/ | 2023-09-28T17:40:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.944194 | 444 |
Economic solidarity within the Black community has always been touted as the answer to our liberation. Alongside banking Black and buying Black, today’s social media campaign, Blackout Day 2020, is another movement that aims to fight against economic injustice.
Created by Calvin Martyr, founder of the Blackout Coalition, Blackout Day 2020 is a call for Black people to boycott spending their money for a full 24 hours in order to show the impact of our spending power. In the event that making a purchase is unavoidable—gas, toilet paper, groceries, etc.—supporters are urged to buy from a Black-owned business.
“We need economic solidarity in America amongst all black people unequivocally,” the main Blackout Day site reads. “In order to break free from the chains of financial servility, we will organize days, weeks, months, and years if necessary when not one black person in America will spend a dollar outside of our community.”
However, anti-capitalists have argued to replace, not reform, the system altogether. In a 2014 Los Angeles Times column, activist Angela Davis famously said that “capitalism is the most dangerous kind of future we can imagine.”
So can capitalism really save us?
In “Black Capitalism Won’t Save Us,” author Aaron Ross Coleman details that celebrities and public figures have heavily vocalized their support for entrepreneurship and consumerism as the way upward for Blacks. The rhetoric particularly follows a tragedy in Black culture, especially after the death of serial entrepreneur and prolific artist Nipsey Hussle.
“Yet Jay-Z wasn’t the only public figure mining the rapper’s death for free-market talking points,” Coleman writes. “Senator Cory Booker resurrected Nipsey’s mission to ‘buy back the block.’ Issa Rae emphasized the importance to ‘own in our communities.'”
In light of the current uprisings for racial justice, Blacks are once again relying on economic unity to advance efforts toward equity, including narrowing the wealth gap.
So operating within the system only limits real economic equity?
Black capitalism seemingly operates outside of the larger, systemically racist system, but in reality, a program in the late ’60s created by President Nixon corrupted the idea of Black self-sufficiency.
“They came up with a program—’Black capitalism,’ they called it—that they argued would promote black businesses and the creation of a thriving Black economy, via policies such as affirmative-action requirements for private government contractors, bank-deposit transfers to Black-owned institutions, and financial support for minority-owned businesses,” Gillian B. White writes in “The Unfulfilled Promise of Black Capitalism,” referencing Mehrsa Baradaran’s book, “The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap.”
“These efforts were more a way to mollify Black activists and assure white voters that racial tension and upheaval would soon end than they were an actual effort to erase racial economic inequality,” White said.
To reach the type of social and political power via economic independence, Black businesses must rely on the very system that oppresses financial liberation. We see this today amid the current pandemic. Several Black businesses have shuttered without access to loans and other government assistance needed to thrive.
So should I buy and bank Black?
To decide whether the efforts of Black capitalism are futile is up to the consumer ultimately. History shows that investing in our own communities can, in fact, result in bustling, self-sufficient communities, despite the white fear and supremacy that continues to destroy them (read: Tulsa’s Black Wall Street massacre).
Though we cannot solely lean on Black commerce to free our people, for now, and for some, it’s a start. | <urn:uuid:7015fe34-1021-42e2-aa06-e67b877d9143> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://afrotech.com/blackoutday2020-can-capitalism-save-our-community/ | 2023-09-28T17:27:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.942142 | 804 |
I recently repotted my 35-year-old chicken gizzard aralia, thinking that she could use some fresh soil fortified with nutrients and minerals. I used MiracleGro potting soil for indoor plants and a little bit of generic potting soil. She seemed okay after the first two weeks, but then things started going downhill.
The new soil was rather moist, and my partner watered her shortly after repotting. I think he over-watered because soon after, she started profusely dropping leaves, and she's still dropping leaves and won't stop. Most of the leaves start to turn yellow before dropping, but some of the leaves that drop are still green. I put a moratorium on watering her and have been allowing the soil to dry out by digging up holes and turning the soil every few days. I'm not quite sure what else to do. She won't stop dropping leaves, and at this rate, she'll be barren soon.
Anyone who knows anything about aralias, particularly the chicken gizzard variety, please chime in. | <urn:uuid:0a55b360-a2b9-4734-81b1-9fbd0f20a420> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://agardenersforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/361233/help-with-chicken-gizzard-aralia.html | 2023-09-28T17:19:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.980505 | 220 |

USDCAD opened with a modestly offered tone. Intraday traders were looking for a break of minor support at 1.2460 to extend losses to 1.2420 and maybe even lower. Unfortunately, the Canadian economic data didn’t help. Canada’s August Trade deficit widened to $-3.41 billion from July’s -$3.04 billion result. Forecasters had expected robust auto sales to narrow the gap. USDCAD spiked from 1.2468 to 1.2540 on the news.
The US data, Jobless Claims, and Trade was close to expectations and not a trading factor. There was a lot of talking going on, overnight but not a lot of FX action. Bank of England, European Central Bank and Swiss National Bank officials were chattering while a lot of Asia markets closed for holidays.
The day started with EURUSD, USDJPY and USDCAD opening virtually unchanged from yesterday’s closing levels
Australia got things going when Retail Sales missed forecasts (Actual -0.6% vs forecast 0.2%) AUDUSD dropped from 0.7863 to 0.7819. In reality, it just retraced part of Wednesday’s gains and the week-long 0.7785 0.7880 range is still intact.
NZDUSD was an afterthought and stayed in a tight 0.7148-65 range.
USDJPY was steady in a 112.56-90 range as traders held their fire ahead of Friday’s US employment report.
EURUSD was choppy in a tight range due to a lack of actionable, top-tier data. Spain/Catalonia developments are being carefully watched. ECB Governing Council member Ewald Nowotny suggested that the ECB quantitative easing program will likely start to taper rather than end in December. EURUSD dropped during New York trading, falling from 1.1775 to 1.1725.
GBPUSD broke support at 1.3220 and dropped to 1.3135 in New York trading. The pressure was due to the perception that Prime Minister May’s speech was ineffective and could spark a leadership review. Furthermore, some major banks were recommending long EURGBP positions.
USDCHF rallied from 0.9745 to 0.9772 when the Swiss National Bank Governor complained about the high level of the currency.
WTI oil prices have steadied above the $50.00/barrel level. Traders are weighing risks of increasing US oil exports disrupting Opec production cuts against falling US crude inventories. The King of Saudi Arabia is meeting with Russia’s Putin. Speculation is that they will discuss efforts to shore up prices.
USDCAD Technical outlook:
The longer-term USDCAD technicals are bullish. The uptrend line from September 15 remains intact while prices are above the 1.2450-60 area. A break above the 1.2530-50 area would target 1.2590 and then 1.2640. For today, USDCAD support is at 1.2480 and 1.2460. Resistance is at 1.2540 and 1.2580
Today’s Range 1.2480-1.2550

How do soils, plants, and biogeochemistry of green infrastructure and the urban ecosystem function and provide ecosystem services? We investigate connections between soil characteristics and ecosystem processes and how these link to ecosystem services in several settings in Baltimore MD and Washington DC: street-scape green infrastructure, detention ponds and basins, and small woodlots. Asking, how does the design of small vs. large-scale GI features affect their functioning? How do landscape characteristics of woodlots and their management history affect their functioning? We utilize a combination of field and lab techniques from soil quality, soil microbial, biogeochemical, and ecophysiological approaches to collect data from these installation locations.
Cities generate a lot of stormwater runoff – a key contributor to pollution in the Chesapeake Bay. Several approaches are used to reduce and manage runoff, including pipes and drains (grey infrastructure) and rain gardens, bioswales, detention ponds, green roofs, etc. (green infrastructure). There is another potential type of green infrastructure that is already fairly common in the built environment: trees! Trees have great potential to reduce stormwater runoff by changing the hydrologic flows in cities.
If a tree loses water to the atmosphere through transpiration, it will not be available in the soil to generate runoff. Despite this promise, no one has measured how much water is actually transpired by trees in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The goal of our project is to address this knowledge gap.
By using a suite of sensors we can measure the transpiration by trees, as well as rain inputs, soil water storage, air temperature, and relative humidity. Together, these data let us quantify the impact of trees on urban hydrology. We are looking at a few variables to see how this process is different:
Generating solar power at large scales (i.e. photovoltaic (PV) power plants) comes at some environmental costs with the loss of local natural and agro-ecosystems and the services they provide. Agrivoltaics is an approach that co-locates PV solar with agricultural systems. Our research explores (1) the ecosystem service and energy production of different agrivoltaic designs, and (2) political, economic, legal, and cultural barriers to the adoption of agrivoltaics.
We demonstrated that agrivoltaics is a 'win-win-win' scenario in southern Arizona - where co-location improved crop production, reduced water demand, and increased PV power production efficiency.
A recent $1.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Foundational Agrivoltaics Research For MegaWatt Scales (FARMS) will let us break down barriers to adoption of agrivoltaics at large scales in Arizona and Colorado.
Dr. Pavao-Zuckerman is developing a collaboration with Montgomery County, MD to explore agrivoltaics in our temperate mid-Atlantic setting.

ENST 360 (Fall)
The study of ecology has a long and interesting history, from early society's efforts to understand and alter their environment as a matter of survival to the challenges the modern world is facing that are global in scale. Through the course text, distributed supplemental chapter readings and an understanding of the scientific literature, this course will cover the essential concepts and principles of ecosystem ecology as well as its history and past and present controversies. Several of the basic methods and tools of field research and the applied management of ecosystems will be discussed and demonstrated with several field excursions in the natural environs of the DC area. Central to this course will be the understanding that modern human society is an integral part of nature, with the power to impact and influence elements of the natural world at multiple scales. An analysis of policy implications for the biosphere will be discussed.
ENST 410 (alternating Springs)
The importance of our ecosystems and the services they provide will be discussed. Basic principles used to analyze ecosystem services will be discussed and applied using case studies & field exercises. Forestland, wetlands and our marine resources are increasingly recognized for their ecosystem services provided to society, to include clean air and water, wildlife habitat, biodiversity, carbon storage and pollination services. This course will prepare students to deal with the complex issues involved in understanding those and other ecosystem services and their importance to society and environmental sustainability. Slowly, new markets are emerging for these services. Students will analyze the ecological, policy and financial dimensions of enhancing, restoring, and sustaining ecosystem services. New and on-going government programs and private business ventures will be discussed.
ENST 607 (alternating Springs)
Knowledge about the relations between urbanization and global and local challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, resource deficiency, poverty, justice and health, is of key importance to move towards sustainable development and resilient systems. This course takes a trans-disciplinary approach to understanding urban questions. Urban possibilities and challenges are analyzed by using a systems approach where ecological, social, and economic aspects are integrated through a social-ecological perspective to analyze resilience and sustainability. Linkages between and perspectives from science, social-sciences, and practice are emphasized throughout the course.
The Urban and Built Environment Sustainability Lab is housed in the recently renovated Pilot Plant in the Animal Sciences/Ag Engineering Building. The lab houses equipment to assess soil and plant biogeochemical properties and automated instrumentation to assess soil hydrologic properties and water contents. We also have a suite of portable instrumentation to measure fluxes of water and carbon in the field and a set of environmental sensors to assess temperature and water properties in urban ecosystems. | <urn:uuid:32a8327c-0f7a-40a1-aa37-3ba57e05388d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://agnr.umd.edu/about/directory/mitchell-pavao-zuckerman | 2023-09-28T18:27:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.793204 | 3,818 |

04 Jun ABKLaw BLOG: Gravity Knife ban lifted
A gravity knife, small, easy to use blades that are defined under New York law as a knife with the blade in the handle that can be opened with a one-handed flick of the wrist, are now legal. The knives, which were illegal to possess and previously categorized as “deadly weapons,” and in the same category as guns, daggers, and switchblades, have been removed from this category this week after a bill was signed by Governor Cuomo. Critics have long said the law punished ordinary and hardworking people, including warehouse workers, stagehands and steelworkers, who use the knives for work. The bill was a result of seven years of lobbying by lawmakers and has been hailed by public defenders, who have long argued that the law allowed the police to use discriminatory practices. However, New Yorkers should be aware that it is still illegal to possess a gravity knife in the NYC subway system.

If you are like us you have been waiting for the .308 Texan for a long time. Now that it is finally started shipping, I have been searching the web and youtube for anything related to the texan .308. I wanted more info like chroney strings, and accuracy testing. I could not find anything on the .308. I would of assumed before it shipped to all of us, that airforce would of sent some to reviewers to make some youtube videos?
Well we just got one in last Friday 3/10/2017 so I thought I would post some pictures of it to help share information on this new PCP. Later today we will shoot a chroney string, and take it out for some field testing and plinking. This gun will be a bench gun for long range squirrel shooting, so we will be shooting the airgun using our Regman regulator, once we find the best reg set point using the chroney.
First impressions, Big valve! One of the reasons we chose to go with the Texan is the straight flow of air from the tank to the barrel. I did laugh when I saw the o-ring behind the top hat. I learned this trick form the talonairgun forum years ago. I used to have one on my talon SS. the O-ring limits the travel and helps with the shot to shot consistency (in my opinion).
One of the things I really liked was the thickness of the barrel. I can’t wait to shoot this at .308 I really hope it will like the 111gr bullets we are going to be testing today.
That is it for now, I will try to post more on the texan .308 on Sunday after we have had a chance to test it out. | <urn:uuid:3b8765a5-2430-467f-a12c-064827216f68> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://airtanksplus.com/pcp-airguns/texan-308-airgun-by-airforce-airguns-first-look-photos/ | 2023-09-28T18:39:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.956627 | 373 |

When a crisis suddenly occurs in your home, all you can think about is getting the right help, right away. Every moment matters, and you want to wait as little as possible for emergency response to arrive. However, when you call 9-1-1, the process is not always quick—often, you have to wait in a queue behind other calls, many of which aren’t even for real emergencies. Then, when you finally do get through, call-takers still have to ask you a series of questions so they can determine the right first responders to send. Learn more about how 9-1-1 works, and how a “verified emergency” with Rescu allows you to bypass the 9-1-1 process and get faster emergency response.
Calling 9-1-1: Waiting Behind Butt Dials and Non-Emergencies
According to the Federal Communications Commission, about 70 percent of 9-1-1 calls are now placed on wireless phones, making an outdated system originally designed for landline calls even lengthier. How 9-1-1 works with cell phones is a process of explaining, waiting, and rerouting, and requires the additional steps of providing your callback number and location so that the call-taker can connect you to the appropriate emergency dispatch center.
The increased use of cell phones for 9-1-1 calls has also introduced another issue: a higher volume of non-legitimate calls clogging the system. Statistics show that of the emergency calls placed on wireless phones, roughly 50 percent are unintentional “butt dials.” In fact, the National Emergency Number Association determined that unintentional wireless calls account for 25-70 percent of all 9-1-1 calls in some U.S. communities. Then there’s the hang-up calls, the accidental misdials, and intentional but non-emergency calls to add to the mix—in short, these calls are jamming the phone lines, getting in the way of real emergencies that need immediate emergency response.
Verified Emergencies Means a Faster Response
When your call goes through the 9-1-1 queue and on to first responders, dispatchers still have to evaluate which situations are the most time-sensitive and require the most immediate help. However, with the Rescu app, your alert bypasses the 9-1-1 process altogether, getting you faster access to local first responders. And, because of the accreditation of Alarm Relay’s Central Station, Rescu alerts and dispatch information are seen as “verified,” so responders will act accordingly. What’s more, Rescu allows you to send for help even when you’re not there, avoiding the messy process of rerouting between your location and the location of the emergency.
“Rescu helps verify all alerts and dispatch information for responders so we can act…”
– Police Officer, Texas Metro PD
Why Are Rescu Alerts Considered Verified Emergencies?
When you send an alert through Rescu, Alarm Relay’s TMA Five Diamond Certified and Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-Listed Central Station works directly with local first responders to coordinate an emergency response. A UL Listing is a certification that a product is in accordance with the most up-to-date applicable standards and requirements. This is the highest classification for safety and security standards, and thus verifies Rescu alerts as a priority when it comes to sending emergency response.

Climate change is producing a temperature imbalance that has us all a little confused. However, and in order to have more control over what the weather is going to be like at all times, the weather stations They can be a great ally. These devices monitor different atmospheric and environmental parameters using sensors and instruments that accurately measure temperature, humidity or wind speed, among other variables.
How does a weather station work?
Weather stations have two main devices: a sensor (or several) sensitive to different atmospheric parameters: temperature, humidity, wind, solar radiation, level of precipitation… that is activated once it comes into contact with them, and a console in which the data is displayed in real time.
Most models offer the ability to view data on a computer, tablet or smartphone through a specific application or software linked to the station. Depending on the use that is going to be given, mainly domestic or professional, these devices offer more or less functions.
While professional models are used to measure a large number of parameters and are used in airports, meteorological agencies or power plants, among other places, stations for home use are often used for monitor basic variablesas the temperature wave indoor and outdoor humidity of the houses.
In addition, these types of stations usually have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection to transfer the data easily and in real time to an application, and some models are even compatible with voice assistants, which makes the task even easier.
What models have we chosen?
For this comparison of weather stations we have chosen four models from different manufacturers: Bresser 7007510 (with an average score of 6.5 points), Netatmo NWS01-EC (8.75), Oregon Scientific Venus (7), and Sainlogic GD0701 (9).
All of them monitor atmospheric data from outside and inside a home, have a range coverage of between 30 and 100 meters and have a similar size, although with different shapes (square or rectangular devices with a screen or cylindrical shape). Of them, we have valued the following characteristics:
– Sensors. If, in addition to measuring temperature or humidity, they are capable of monitoring other factors that may go unnoticed with the naked eye, such as solar radiation or air pollution.
– Durability. The materials used and if they are resistant to withstand the elements.
– Data transfer. If they can be viewed in real time through the device’s screen or on other devices via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth…
– Scope coverage. At what distance the sensors can be installed and if the station reports that it is out of the proper range.
– Others. If it has alarms to notify the user of a parameter that is out of normality.
We have carried out tests for four weeks in a 90-square-meter home with two outdoor spaces, at different times of the day and with different temperatures (mainly medium-high temperatures), and at times when it has rained occasionally for a certain time or there have been unexpected gusts of wind. They have also been used to measure other factors such as air quality (outside and inside), pollution levels or solar radiation.
After the tests carried out, the best weather station is the Sainlogic GD0701. It has a large color LCD screen that displays different weather variables (wind speed and direction, rainfall, temperature, humidity, and solar radiation). It also has wireless connectivity to transfer the data to a linked application, and has an alarm, which warns of unusual data.
Sainlogic GD0701 weather station: our choice and the best value for money
It is made up of a console and an outdoor sensor that shows real-time information on the indoor and outdoor temperature of the house (it can make weather forecasts), air humidity, wind direction and speed, rainfall, and UV radiation. The console has a color LCD screen that shows all the data in an orderly manner since it separates them into differentiated boxes, with the name of each of the variables (in English).
Sainlogic GD0701 weather station It also has continuous lighting, so you can see the data correctly with or without light. The ‘alarm’ function can be configured to notify us if a certain temperature value is exceeded.
- Product Dimensions (console): 10 inches x 6 inches.
- Material: plastic and aluminum.
- Screen: Color LCD.
Installation is simple although the instruction manual is not available in Spanish. Keep in mind that the console works with three AAA batteries and three AA batteries for the sensor, which are not included. Once placed, the console and outdoor sensor are automatically synchronized.
It is recommended to download the application immediately WS View Plus On the mobile phone, add the station and connect it to the Wi-Fi network. To find out if the station and the sensor are in the proper range, there is a symbol on the screen that indicates this. Once connected, all the data can be viewed, in addition to having a history of the same, in Weather Undergrounda weather network that is used globally and can be downloaded on both Android and iOS.
The best, the worst and conclusions
- The best: the installation, very simple, and the alarm function, which notifies when the data is out of normality.
- Worst: The instruction manual does not come in Spanish and it does not have bird repellents.
- Conclusion: A very complete outdoor sensor, capable of measuring many variables, such as wind, rain or solar radiation. Also, it is possible to consult all this data at any time through the application and in real time.
Netatmo NWS01-EC Weather Station: The Alternative
Although it is similar to the winning model of this comparison, this smart weather station with two modules, one for indoors and one for outdoors, only monitors the temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and the air quality and noise level inside the house.
The design of the Netatmo NWS01-EC weather station It is different from the rest: they are two cylindrical devices and none of them have a screen on which to view the data. They connect through the Wi-Fi network to the device’s application, which offers all the data in real time. They are also compatible with Alexa.
The CO2 sensor in the interior module measures pollution levels inside the house. When the level is critical, it sends alerts that warn of the need to ventilate. This is very practical when there are many people at home. It also allows you to connect it to other home automation applications through the station application. Battery operated.
Oregon Scientific Venus Weather Station
It monitors indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity data, and even shows the moon phases and radio-controlled time on the device’s screen. It also has an LED indicator that flashes when the console is in danger of freezing if we place it outdoors. All parameters are perfectly visible on the screen, which does not transfer data to other devices or connect to Wi-Fi.
It is important to note that the Oregon Scientific Venus Weather Station It cannot be hung, that is, it can only be supported on a solid base, such as a table or the floor itself. Although it comes equipped with batteries, it is necessary to connect it to the electrical current if you want it to work continuously.
Weather station Bresser 7007510
With a multicolor LCD screen (data inside the house is shown in white and outside in blue), this device measures temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure and also shows the different phases of the moon and the time. It also has a function alarm for unusual data.
Both the station and the outdoor sensor are powered by batteries and a power cord. After several tests, we have needed to connect the weather station Bresser 7007510 to the electric current since the batteries were spent in a short time when having it in operation all day.
As for the installation, it does not have any complications, since you only have to turn on the console, place the outdoor sensor at a suitable distance (no more than 30 meters), and it starts to work, however, it does not have an instruction manual in Spanish, which can make the task difficult for people who do not speak other languages such as English.

Life roars at us when it wants or needs change… We have been roared at! Globally and individually…
Wednesday in our meditation our Jaguar Roared And the cosmos responded by bringing light onto our planet… we all experienced this light by the stars, angels and the moon that appeared in our last meditation… Our boat was a symbol of that process. And the story represented our challenging global situation and the universe shifted the vibration so the Light showed us the way out of danger. This happened for humanity and for our planet.
Change is some kind of a transformation or shift from one form to another… And that involves the magic of creation! In the past two months we have entered into the creation process as we activated consciousness and focus and constructed thousands of light houses that are of service to our cause and a power animal that is ready to serve our awakening planet. He wears a golden thread and seed around his neck.
The threat of the end of the world can be viewed as an old lion that’s roared many times and has never experienced the fatal blow… Yet the possibility of now being “the end of the world” as we know it ...needs to be acknowledged so that we can find and open new pathways of survival and threads of renewal.
We need to run towards the roar and not away from it and face up to the essential crisis and transformations that need to be implemented so that we remain free and justice reigns on this beautiful planet we call home.
Do we still have soul.. As a country… Globally… Individually? Have we experienced a loss of soul in our modern technological lives?
It is the soul within us that connects us with the meaningful, beautiful and truly rich aspects of life. The threads of renewal that create a magnificent tapestry.
Our personal authenticity relates to our inner nature and unique value experienced by ourselves first… And then the world around us as we find ways to be of service to this awakening planet and the renewal that is coming.
It is easy to say that our modern world has a tremendous loss of soul because of corporations and technology devoid of heart.... but if we are going awaken as a planet and an evolving species it has to be our individual authenticity that generates potential for the Fifth Dimension to take hold. The Fifth Dimension can be the unifying third that we worked with on Wednesday in our prayer.
Soul holds body and mind, individual and collective together. When it rises up, a life altering change can manifest.
When the soul rises up we feel deeply, and we know whether we are on course individually and as a planet.
It can be seen as a single vein or a vital thread that holds things together.
Together, we will weave together humanity with our conscious evolution so that at the very perfect moment the transformational awakening is experienced and that we are ready in the blink of an eye!
In God’s Light
