What... did I do today?
Just one of those days...
It was a happy one non the less. Today is a random ramble- if you want coherent read another post!
Biography of a nobody day 48. February 17th 2021.
Have you ever started scrolling through social media and then abruptly realised you have been sat on the toilet watching people fall over for 90 minutes... Well, I had an entire day a little like that.
I can't really put my finger on it. Alex and I have played. I have done some research on affiliate links. I will do a large post on that tomorrow. I have written up yesterday's blog post... I played with some crypto and stocks... I cooked... I watched a little TV... I walked... Rusty?...
How the hell is it 2am again? I am definitely exercising before bed tonight- I have done barely any exercise this week and I will be back at work soon 15kg heavier with less muscle. Meh. I am 10-15 years the junior of most of the other lecturers I know... Though I am three years the senior of my manager... how does that work?
I am feeling better- mentally.
Let me first note that my mental state is improving. I feel easily 100x better than I did a month ago. I am feeling optimistic. I am making plans. I am regularly calling friends and family. I am on an upwards spiral and that is incredible. It is worrying me though that this is how I am feeling due to not being at work? Well, I say worrying... I am not worried about returning to work anymore though I am concerned that is because I am not remembering actually doing work and more the fact that I will have an element of physically socialising? By the by, not feeling sick or instantly disconnected at the idea of work is great.
I can also tell that I am feeling happier because I am making people laugh again- I had forgotten how great that felt. I can't tell whether it is just because I am talking to more people again so I have more opportunity to make people laugh- or whether it is because I feel like my brain is nowhere near as cloudy and I have twice as much clarity so my positivity and humour are shining through? No idea.
I guess giving yourself the opportunity to have fun- then having it- go hand in hand...
Why am I feeling better... Mentally?
You know what... I have no idea. Lifes big shit things keep piling up. They aren't going away- but my ability to handle them is literally tenfold what it was a month ago. As far as external emotional pressures go I am feeling a little like a teenager again.
I suppose I have forced so many healthy coping methods and recovery techniques into my life that if I wasn't starting to notice a bit of an uplift then I would need to consider medication. Not that there is anything wrong with that- but I don't even like taking paracetamol so it would be the last step for me.
I have started therapy. Therapy has recommended increasing my oxygen flow by exercising, walking, cleaning- whatever- just physically move more. Therapy has also recommended I embrace some forms of creativity to give my brain something positive to overthink rather than bad thoughts and terrible memories. I have started writing, reading, researching and working with others online. It has been a healthy escape. Once I started doing all of those I found I was writing how I felt... Then I would post it on a site I made... This site. Once the world had the opportunity to see it- who am I kidding I think my site has had 110 visitors- I have felt good... I can now confidently tell other people how I have been feeling without any deep internal shame or feelings of weakness. I say other people- I mean close friends and family. I haven't been messaging people I haven't spoken to in years typing 'HEY I HAVE BEEN DEPRESSED, COME READ ABOUT IT'.
I think I have something here...
Is it just that? Removing the pressure of skirting around the subject- or dodging it- with people I love. Answering 'Yeah I am ok' or 'Yeah I am doing well' around a month ago was just a flat out lie. So I stopped answering my phone to people. I stopped talking to people- and I definitely stopped calling people or seeking interaction. The more I did that the more the questions of 'are you ok' came and the more I doubled down with a 'Yeah' when realistically I was feeling worse. Now I am actually feeling pretty good- so when people ask and actually genuinely want to know... Well, I can tell them. Yeah, I am feeling good- I am currently signed off from work though. I never would have told people that before, out of embarrassment. If people are genuinely interested as to why I will tell them. Then I say- I started counselling to process some stuff and it has worked wonders- I am feeling much better.
Because I have removed the invisible rock from my mind that was blocking me from sharing how I actually felt... Which probably made it worse... I all of a sudden am enjoying talking to people again. I don't feel perfect- but I am happier- So I am having a laugh with friends. I am catching up with family. The more I interact again knowing that nothing is off-limits if I am asked the better I feel. It was like I was holding onto a secret and so that I avoided telling anyone I just avoided them.
Why didn't I just tell people before?
To be honest, looking at it now with fresh eyes, it is because I was weak. I was too weak to admit that I needed help so I avoided the questions that would result in help or worry. I was ashamed to be struggling and I thought that it made me less of a person to need help emotionally- especially as a guy.
I now realise it is far weaker to need help and avoid it than it is to just need help.
Needing help isn't weak. Wanting help isn't weak. What is weakness anyway? One of my favourite quotes (it is actually from an anime- don't judge me) is:
"Being weak is nothing to be ashamed of. Staying weak is"
If you know you have a problem and you aren't willing to try EVERYTHING to fix it- then that is a real weakness. I have been open and honest and it has freed so much pressure from my head it is insane! I have sought help, structure and healing in so many different ways that obviously some of them have started to work. The more chances you give yourself to feel better- the more likely it is to happen. Some may not help- shit, some have made me feel worse at times- but my distance travelled in my emotional strength and mental wellbeing is phenomenal. I am starting to feel stronger. I am strong.
I just wish I hadn't ignored it, pretended it wasn't there or covered it up for so long- it has given me so much more to heal from. See it as compounding interest on a debt. The longer you pretend it isn't something that needs fixing- the longer it is going to take to fix. Debt can tear you apart. | <urn:uuid:ee1d58f9-08c2-4c25-87ad-76b0f2590b3a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.biographyofanobody.com/post/what-did-i-do-today | 2023-09-28T17:55:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.982119 | 1,505 |
Susan Lim is an assistant professor in the Department of History & Political Science at Biola University. Here is her story of discovering and pursuing her passion.
Like many college students, I started my undergraduate career without a clear sense of direction. I was interested in many subjects, but none beckoned my attention exclusively. When the time came to declare my major, I eventually deferred to my parents who really wanted me to become a medical doctor. I dutifully majored in molecular and cell biology, took my required pre-med courses and trudged through all the required labs.
One day in lab, however, with goggles on and Bunsen burner in tow, I paid little attention to the solutions in front of me. Rather, I kept thinking about the riveting lecture on the Civil War delivered earlier that morning by my history professor. This history course was intended to merely fulfill a general education requirement, but it occupied so much of my mind.
After this history course ended, I found reasons to take two more the following semester. I really didn’t have room in my schedule for two history courses on top of organic chemistry and physics, but I couldn’t help myself. That semester changed the course of my academic path.
Each history lecture and discussion allowed me to see the present in a clearer light. I would often think or mumble to myself, “Oh, that’s why our political parties are so divided,” or “I don’t agree with ________, but I can see why some people would support that given their history.” I felt like I had been given a special pair of glasses that allowed me to see people and communities with more context and compassion.
I finally mustered up enough courage to tell my parents that I would no longer be a doctor, not knowing at that time that I would still be a doctor, just not the medical kind. I carefully explained to them that I loved history and that I felt compelled to study this field. They asked me, “What are you going to do with a history degree?” And I honestly replied, “I don’t know.” I didn’t have a clue what I would do with this degree, but I was deeply convicted that God knew and that he would guide my steps one at a time.
After finishing my undergraduate studies, I decided to step out in faith and apply to graduate school. I was unsure whether God wanted me to attend graduate school or not, so I had a Gideon’s fleece moment. I only applied to one doctoral program at UCLA, and asked the Lord to close this door if it wasn’t his best for me. It is a very competitive program, so the chances of getting rejected were good!
God, in his grace, opened this door for me, and graduate school and the many steps thereafter have led to my current position at Biola. And, as they say, the rest is history!

Thanksgiving takeout: Perkins anticipates pie rush for holidays
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) - As Perkins prepares for the Thanksgiving pie rush, more than a third of their yearly pie sales happen over the holidays.
Most Perkins locations are open on Thanksgiving, including the Rapid City location on Lacrosse Street.
With more than a dozen flavors, Perkins sells an average of 300 pies for Thanksgiving.
Their pies will be available on Thanksgiving day but it’s first come, first serve.
And with a new online ordering option, the general manager says, pies are a family staple of Thanksgiving.
“We do have the new online ordering option, which is fantastic, you don’t have to pick up the phone to call us, you actually go on your computers, go to order.perkinstogo.com, and put your orders in there, they come directly to us and then we put them into our system and we have them ready for you that day,” Judy Morrison, general manager said. “You can also call us on the phone and order them, try to give us a 48-hour to 24-hour notice, that way we make sure we have the holiday pie that you and your family would love to have.
Morrison says pecan and pumpkin are two of their most popular pies for Thanksgiving.

Today’s featured weight loss journey: Brittany lost more than 80 pounds. It all started with writing a letter to herself and making a promise that she’s now fulfilling. Here is what she shared with us about her journey:
Hello! I’ve been a follower of this page for quite some time, and I’ve decided to share my success story. I started my journey in March of 2011. It was while I was on vacation with my family that I decided I’d make a change in my life, and better my health. I’ve never been considered “small”, but I noticed that I began to neglect my body and felt like I was letting myself go. While on our way back from a road trip to California, I decided to make a change in my lifestyle. I wrote a letter to myself, and in that letter, I made a promise to myself to live a healthier lifestyle. When I first started working out, my biggest fear was sweating my hair out, lol. I finally stopped making excuses and got my stuff together. I stopped drinking sodas and eating candy. I also cut out fried foods and I started eating salads, and getting away from the table when I was full. I loved to eat soul food and I was a frequent spender in every drive thru, as you could imagine! I started swimming, walking daily, and watching what I eat. At times when I got discouraged, I would sit down, read my letter and remember why I started this journey. Since I’ve started my weight loss journey, I’ve lost 80+ lbs. When I began I was at my heaviest, which was 302 pounds. My goal is to lose a full 100 lbs before the end of the year. None of this would be possible if it weren’t for the support of my family & friends, and the motivation to do and live better. The picture on the left is from Nov 2010, and the one on the right is from July 2013. | <urn:uuid:70862946-c8a7-4ec9-8139-f535ff5188ee> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.blackweightlosssuccess.com/brittany-lost-more-than-80-pounds/ | 2023-09-28T18:06:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.986304 | 415 |
Toronto neighbourhood is trying to help local restaurant survive
A local Toronto restaurant that's become a hub in its neighbourhood now needs help to survive, and the surrounding community is pitching in.
It's known for its head chef and owner Anne Sorrenti, who herself is a proactive member of the community whether it's running her seasonal restaurant or helping out those in need.
Unfortunately it wasn't long after the restaurant opened that they suffered a devastating fire, after which they struggled to reopen for 18 months. Just nine months after that, they were slammed by lockdowns.
Now, a GoFundMe seeking to support the restaurant after this rough period informs people that Sorrenti unfortunately continues to struggle, with physical injuries making getting the restaurant back on its feet even more difficult.
"The Oakwood Hardware is more than just a restaurant, it's an anchor business and a place for the community to meet," reads the GoFundMe page organized by Gabbie Douglas, who's been working at Oakwood Hardware for the past couple months.
"Anne created this restaurant to give something back to her community. Now we are asking you to give back to her. We have a goal of fundraising $20,000 to help pay off the outstanding expenses born by the fire and the pandemic and Anne's physical injuries. Any and all donations would be greatly appreciated."
The fundraiser was just created over the Thanksgiving long weekend, and has raised around $2,000 of its goal so far.
"We're not fully back to dining like we used to be. As a social species we don't go out as much as we did before," Douglas tells blogTO.
"It's a culmination of a lot of different things that is preventing Anne from getting caught up. And because of that, Anne specifically, but the staff as well, carry a lot of stress. So the main reason as a staff we decided to start the fundraiser is that things have become so dire that we really needed to reach out to the community to restore our hope and get Anne back on her feet."
She says even after just a couple days, people have been sharing and donating to the fundraiser a lot, and thinks they're only getting started. They're hoping to use the money to simply help Anne get caught up, pay for rising food costs and help contribute to events they want to put on.
"Coming to support the restaurant whenever you can, signing up for our newsletter so that you're being kept up to date with what's happening and honestly donating anything you can, those are all things that will help the restaurant and Anne thrive moving forward," says Douglas.
"Spreading the message as much as you can, even through word of mouth. Letting people know about the restaurant all across the city who maybe have never heard of us."
If you're interested in coming out and supporting the restaurant in person, their next upcoming event is "Oaktoberfest" on October 15 starting at 3 p.m., a family-friendly event with a beer garden for adults and a root beer garden for kids, plus if you wear dirndl or lederhosen you can win a prize.

It was a sad day not too long ago when I heard that Superboat was no longer building boats at its facility in Lindenhurst, New York. John Coen had been manufacturing low-cost high-performance boats on Long Island for enthusiasts on a budget for decades. No boat has exemplified the low-cost high-output reputation of Superboat than the Superboat 21. This outboard-powered boat has launched the offshore racing careers of such legendary names as Nigel Hook, J.D. D’Elia and Mike Gagliano and it can be argued that no outboard performance hull has delivered more bang for the buck than this one. | <urn:uuid:d4c90d33-1ae2-45f4-9f8d-b2e2e8f6488a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.boatingmag.com/superboat-21/ | 2023-09-28T17:57:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.97384 | 134 |

A group of budding mechanics in St Albans have built a kit car from scratch, which will now be entered into the Westfield kit car competition.
The pupils from Oaklands College were donated Mazda MX-5, which they subsequently took apart, refurbished the parts and reassembled in the form of a kit car. The project was an attempt to not only promote teamwork among the students but also to give them skills and insights into the work of a car mechanic.
For any of the college students who would consider pursuing a career in car mechanics, they will be required to obtain a road risks insurance policy, which will enable them to drive the cars they are working on to ensure they are performing correctly. Nevertheless, while garage bosses might struggle to add very young mechanics and apprentices to their motor trade insurance cover, the value of training up skilled staff from a young age ought not to be underestimated.
It took the St Albans students six months to build their kit car, the Herts Advertiser reported. They had donations from three local motor trade business: Gold Crest Motors, which supplied the wheels; R-Tec, which supplied the induction kit and steering wheel; and Bennetts Motor Factors, which supplied the engine parts.
Steven Hodges, director at Gold Crest, said of the project: “We are hoping to take on more apprentices in future, and we always want to work with local people as it is good to develop new staff who want to learn the trade.
“It looks like they have done a good job on the car.” | <urn:uuid:5e99c7cb-63aa-404d-b0a4-af4c7c377612> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.bollington.com/news/motortrade/student-mechanics-build-car-from-scratch-206311 | 2023-09-28T16:39:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.978382 | 319 |

Convolution: A Chapbook of Poetry and Visuals by Anil CS Rao,
Cyberwit.net, India, 2011 pp. 59, ISBN: 978-8182532113
While reading Anil CS Rao’s poetry I was reminded of a very apt observation made by the great Romantic poet Keats. In one of his letters, Keats says: "First I think that poetry should surprise by fine excess and not by singularity-it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance. Second, its touches of Beauty should never be half way, thereby making the reader breathless instead of content: the rise, the progress, the setting of imagery should like the sun, come natural to him, shine over him, and set soberly although in magnificence, leaving him in the luxury of delight." This is very true about the poem "Soma". Rao affirms that Soma has no physical entity. It is ‘a state of mind’. Similarly, the following lines are the pure magic:
Don’t write it.
Don’t send it.
Listen to your wife
"Hate" p. 6
Moreover, the greatest
This term is relative to:
Help me here and now!
"Evil" p. 2
The above observation by F.R. Leavis is aptly subtantiated in the cocluding lines:
The Tao of the rice paddy replaces the

Appian (www.appian.com), compañía especializada en software de Business Process Management, ha anunciado que su suite de BPM ha sido rankeada como «Oustanding» en el nuevo reporte de Gartner «Critical Capabilities for Case Management Frameworks», publicado el pasado 12 de Febrero. El reporte evalúa a 11 proveedores de software de acuerdo con 11 capacidades críticas y para cuatro usos comunes de case management. Para leer el resto del artículo en inglés ir más abajo.
The report states that, «Case management solutions treat a ‘case’ as the primary aspect of work to be managed to a successful outcome; workflow is secondary. Cases do not progress serially nor predictably. There are multiple dependent workflows and associated object types, such as data, content, people, machines and policies. These interdependent relationships are the key architectural challenge.»
Gartner’s analysis has determined that case management frameworks (CMF) built on BPM suites «offer an alternative to specialty applications and custom coding to help solution architects and business process directors implement case management solutions… Compared with COTS applications, CMFs built on a business process management suite (BPMS) are easier to change and extend by altering visual metadata via models.»
Appian’s rating of «Oustanding» is based on Gartner’s assessment of overall product viability across the dimensions of Strategy, Support, Execution, and Investment for case management.
Case Management is a process solution style that involves a combination of structured yet dynamic exchange of information and collaboration between skilled knowledge workers, customers and support staff. The interactions between people, process, data, and content are often dynamic, ad hoc, and unpredictable. Appian provides a single integrated suite that accelerates case handling and ensures consistency across the organization and within each transaction to deliver quality service that is repeatable and scalable. Appian supports the needs of today’s modern knowledge workers in accessing information so they can collaborate, making smart decisions, and taking prompt actions as part of a process to achieve business results.
«Appian’s integrated Work Platform accelerates smarter business decisions and actions,» said Matthew Calkins, president and CEO of Appian. «This is particularly true in case management work styles that require easy enterprise data navigation and knowledge worker collaboration within the guidelines of corporate policies and procedures to drive rapid case resolution.» | <urn:uuid:b9e5710f-0e79-4ff3-bad0-5e850105e61d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.bpm-spain.com/articulo/appian-recibe-calificacion-destacada-segun-ultimo-reporte-de-gartner/ | 2023-09-28T18:51:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.731404 | 532 |

Bullying is a problem at just about every school. We hear a lot about how to tend to kids who are coming home with emotional bruises -- but what if your kid is the bully? Some students with behavioral issues or social anxiety act out at other kids. Here are some tips for how to handle a child who is being unkind at school.
Listen to Teachers and Administrators
If you get a phone call from the school about your child's bullying behavior, it's easy to get defensive. Take a breath, listen to what the staff has to say, and schedule a meeting. Talk to your kid's teachers in more detail about the behavior (and when it started). The first and best strategy for dealing with a child who is bullying is acknowledging it sooner rather than later. If you make excuses, it sends the message to your child that their behavior is either not that serious or just an acceptable phase.
Set Consequences and Stick to Them
Once you have a thorough understanding of what is going on, it's time to talk to your child. Ask them in a firm tone about their behavior. You don't want to lead with blame, but let them know that bullying behavior is a mistake that must stop. Emphasize why you don't condone bullying ("I wouldn't accept someone treating you that way, so you can't do it either"). Set consequences at home that will happen every time there is a new report of their bullying.
Model Empathy at Home
One of the most crucial steps is to model the type of behavior you want your kids to exhibit. Are you yelling at people in traffic? Calling the neighbors names when you're annoyed? Ask yourself how you might be modeling bully behavior without thinking about it and practice more conscious empathy instead. Your kids will pick up on the difference.
Hearing that your kid is a bully is difficult for any parent. Get to the bottom of why they are acting out and let them know you won't tolerate it. From there, you can build more empathy and help them become more responsible at school.

Bravida has signed a letter of intent to acquire the Minel Group in Norway
Bravida Norway has signed a letter of intent to acquire Minel AS, Norway’s fifth largest electrical contractor, which has a turnover of approximately 600 million kronor. The acquisition requires approval from the Norwegian competition authority.
Minel AS has a presence from Otta in the north to Sarpsborg in the south, and its main business activities are in the Innlandet region. The Minel Group focuses on service and projects involving electrical installations and has a turnover of approximately 600 MNOK and around 350 employees. Tore Bakke, Division Manager at Bravida Norway, comments:
“We consider the acquisition to be a good and long-term investment in the future. The Minel Group today consists of companies that are strong in electrical installations, with projects and service in the same geographical area in which we already have electricity and pipe operations. Together with Minel, we can strengthen our customer offering and meet all possible needs with a complete electrical service.”
The founders and owners of Minel AS, Lars Harald Røste, Rune Brennbakken and Tore Sæthersmoen, are also very pleased to now be becoming part of Bravida and consider it to be an opportunity to continue to grow.
“We have now decided to become part of Bravida so that we have the best possible opportunities to continue on our path of growth and provide continued certainty for our employees in the coming years. Bravida is a well-run company with a good business model and we share the same business philosophy, which creates a good starting point for the further development of our companies,” say Lars Harald Røste, Rune Brennbakken and Tore Sæthersmoen from Minel AS.
Øyvind Sæthersmoen, CEO of Minel AS, comments:
“We have built up Minel over the course of many years based on local affiliation, which has given us a strong and growing market position. However, we see a need to have a strong partner like Bravida so that the company can go to the next level and have the opportunity to further develop our companies.”
The acquisition of Minel AS requires approval from the Norwegian competition authority. Completion will take place after the competition authority’s review has been conducted, and is expected during the second quarter of 2021.

One Size Doesn't Fit All
Rosie discusses the importance of being flexible in your parenting.
The tiger mom versus the mom who had no follow through -– Wow! These ladies really put me to the test, because neither in my mind had the right answer when it comes to parenting. As with almost everything I can think of, you need balance (not a thing I found with these moms) and the ability to be flexible so that you can nurture your child's individual personality -- there is no one size fits all when it comes to parenting!
Can we stop for a moment though and comment on Jessica's pink, club-tastic closet? I know, I know, I digress! I felt like I needed a martini while I was standing in there. If I had a closet like that, it would be hard to ever actually put on jeans. I think I'd come out constantly over-dressed and definitely in head-to-toe sparkles!
I am sure the sleep training probably seemed a little harsh, but as any parent knows, to be good at it one not only needs to sleep but your child needs to have sleep and healthy doses of it. A child with an unhealthy and interrupted night time ritual and sleep pattern often has problems at school and is far less happy during the day. I mean it's obvious being tired is no fun for anyone, especially not a little one. Unfortunately the quickest way to a restful night’s sleep is very hard on the old heart strings. It’s called the extinction method and asks for you to put your child down to sleep and then not go back in again. Believe me, it's tough. Daron has to sit on me when we do it with our kids, but they are always so much happier once you can lay them down and they can go to sleep and stay asleep unassisted. I know, I know, you are probably thinking, “What a heartless bitch,” but trust me. I am a push over about many things, but sleep is not one of them, and ultimately my children thank me for it. Sleep training, however, cannot start until your babe is four-months-old and at least fourteen pounds. But in my experience most parents wait longer, until the babe is over six-months-old.
Speaking of sleep, I've had very little of it as baby Vivienne is only one-week-old. You'll have to forgive me if my blog posts get a little loopy, but when one is writing them at 3 in the morning while pumping they tend to be a little strange! | <urn:uuid:391b9529-73e2-4eef-a4ad-9e96b9d5f722> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.bravotv.com/pregnant-in-heels/season-2/blogs/rosie-pope/one-size-doesnt-fit-all | 2023-09-28T17:00:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.976625 | 556 |
“That afternoon, as was her habit, Boori Ma reknotted her hair, untied the loose end of her sari, and counted out her life savings.”
~from “A Real Durwan” by Jhumpa Lahiri
Jhumpa Lahiri was born Nilanjana Sudeshna Lahiri on Tuesday, July 11, 1967 in London. She is the daughter of Amar and Tapati Lahiri, a Bengali couple who immigrated to the United Kingdom from Calcutta, India. Jhumpa’s name was shortened for ease – a family nickname that westerners preferred over her Bengali name. She started writing as a child, but did not take it seriously until her early twenties. After graduating from Barnard College in 1989, she began experiencing what she called “a slow, hesitant artistic awakening… a secret, scary thing." She then joined the student body of Boston University, where she took her first serious creative writing courses, eventually earning three literary master's degrees before receiving her doctorate in Renaissance studies. For her publishing debut, she gave us Interpreter of Maladies in 1999, which won the Pulitzer Prize and a Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award. She followed up in 2003 with her first novel, The Namesake, which was made into a movie. She later published Unaccustomed Earth, The Lowland, and most recently her Italian memoir, In Altre Parol – or In Other Words.
|A frame from "The Namesake"|
when the American-Indian family visits the Taj Mahal
When We Met: I had just returned to America after living on the African continent for seven years. Our things (including all of my books) were in transit and my super-cool housemate lent me her copy of “Interpreter of Maladies.” The title intrigued me and I sank into a good chair and began. The collection of stories is about Indian-Americans (most from the Bengali tradition) wrestling with “border identities” –all authors I admire present these paradoxes in their characters. Lahiri's words were delicate and casual, and I became entranced as if someone placed me in a room where the air was infused with opium,. Her stories sang to me, and I was meeting characters with whom I could identify. They ask the same questions we do: Who am I and where am I going? I am in awe of the way she tells a story.
Why She’s Good: She has an unusual, scary command of language. No one has wowed me with story endings the way that Jhumpa has. She saves an important detail for last few paragraphs and the reader is stunned, surprised, and even a little freaked-out. She is casual and easy to read, but you realize that you are in a five-star restaurant after the first bite.
Plot Variations: A married couple live as polite friends in their upscale residence until an electrical outage brings them together, sharing the first real conversation they have had in years. An Indian-American family hires a tour guide to take them to ancient ruins, where they learn about his other intriguing occupation. Two college roommates share chemistry and keep secrets about intimate relationships.
Buy One: I prefer Lahiri's short stories over her novels. I recommend Interpreter of Maladies, but only by a nose in front of Unaccustomed Earth. These stories are vibrant with color, tension, yearning and the search for significance. Available here.
Favorite Quote: “I've inherited a sense of that loss from my parents because it was so palpable all the time while I was growing up, the sense of what my parents had sacrificed in moving to the United States, and yet at the same time, building a life here and all that that entailed.”
Trivia: Lahiri’s recent triumph of writing her memoir in Italian is not an accident. Her parents came from India, so she spoke Bengali until she was four years old. She learned to read and write English, but she says neither of these linguistic identities ever felt fully her own. "I had studied Italian for many years — simply for the love of it," she told NPR. Italian offered the linguist a different path, with respect to her identity in writing. "I'm bound to fail when I write in Italian, but, unlike my sense of failure in the past, this doesn't torment or grieve me." Thank you to NPR - read more here.
Finding Her Voice: Authors take years to "find their voice" - the distinctive tone and style that is woven into their words, permeating their writing as your mother's fragrance permeates her house. Lahiri once addressed the development of her own literary voice,in her understated, beautiful way: “I just want it to be true, and I want it to be strong, and I want it to be pure. But these are lofty ideals, and language is a very messy thing; it's a very complicated thing. And that's why I say that that voice is an illusion, it's an ideal that I'm moving toward. You know, the closer you get, the farther away it gets. But I think, isn't that the point of creativity, to keep searching?”

Definition of a Robots.txt
Robots.txt, also known as the robots exclusion standard, is a text file in the root directory of a website. It is a standard that is used by websites to communicate with web crawlers and other web robots. A web crawler is an Internet bot that systematically browses the web. A web robot is a software app that run automated tasks, such as scripts, over the Internet. The robots.txt file tells the crawlers which areas of a website to web and which ones to leave alone. A robots.txt file is often used by search engines to categorize and archive web pages. Webmasters can also use it to proofread source codes.
How exactly does robots.txt work? First, it helps to understand the jobs of a search engine. A search engine crawls the web to discover content and it will index found content so that searchers can find it. In order to crawl sites, the search engine will follow one link to another link and so on, across millions and billions of websites. This is known as “spidering.” But before the crawler can actually spider, it will read the robots.txt file to find out how. If there are no instructions for the crawler, it will crawl other information.
Websites that contain sub-domains usually need a robots.txt file. This is to prevent information that cannot be seen by the public from being picked up for a keyword. Each sub domain on a root domain requires separate robots.txt files.
Before you begin working with robots.txt files, it’s important to know what you’re doing because doing it incorrectly can harm your website. The name is case sensitive, so make sure it is input correctly, without any capital letters.
Where does a robots.txt file go? A robots.txt file will always be places at the root of your domain:
What are the cons of using a robots.txt file? Robots.txt files do have limits. For example, robots.txt directives may not be supported by all search engines. What this means is that while Googlebot and other quality web crawlers will obey the instructions, others may not. In the same effect, different crawlers will interpret syntax differently. It is a good idea to know the proper syntax for each web crawler so that they are all doing the same thing.
What are the pros of using robots.txt files? Because each search spider arrives to a website knowing how many pages it is allowed to crawl, this will help you budget. This is called “crawl budget” by SEOs. It can be worth it to block search engines from crawling problem areas of your website so they can focus on the areas that matter. When you block these areas, it allows you time to go in and fix whatever is necessary to make improvements before letting the crawlers back in.
Robots.txt can also be beneficial for keeping video, audio, and image files from appearing in search results. Individuals will still be able to link to your video, audio, and image files though.

If you’re not a professional writer, you may struggle to create compelling content that satisfies not only SEO, but also your audience. A good SEO tool will allow you to enter your primary keyword and receive content recommendations. You can also check the recommended reading length, ideal sentence length, readability, and more. This will also help you create appealing content for readers.
Perform SEO Audits
Some SEO tools have an audit feature that will thoroughly analyze your site and provide you with a report detailing your SEO strengths and weaknesses. The information will likely include recommendations for improving your site, which is especially helpful if you are new to SEO and don’t have much experience. A good audit tool will examine every aspect of your site, including your on-page optimization, site structure, backlink profile, and more.
Help with Keyword Research
Many SEO tools also have a built-in keyword research feature that can help you find the right keywords to target through your SEO efforts. Note that these days, you don’t need to overdo it with keywords. You just need to know enough so that you can point our content in the right direction. It doesn’t even matter if you optimize the keywords directly. The search engine algorithms are sophisticated enough to return your content for searches even if the keywords aren’t there, it just has to be relevant. However, keyword research is still helpful.
SEO Tools Miss the Human Element
While SEO tools can assist with your SEO, they shouldn’t replace he human element. Sure, you can use a tool to assess content, perform an audit, or do some keyword research. However, they in no way replace the power of your own brand. You still need to interpret the data that the tools give you, choose the actions to take based on the keywords, create the SEO plan, and execute the plan. Tools can’t do thee tasks for you.
A good SEO tool will make nearly every aspect of SEO much simpler and more efficient. You can use these tools to improve your keyword research, content creation, competitor analysis, and much more. SEO tools allow you to track your progress easily, see what needs improvement, and take corrective actions when necessary. Using SEO tools makes it much easier to achieve excellent SEO results. However, just remember that the tools can’t do everything, you still need to put in some effort.

I am genuinely curious about the deeper factors in people’s lives, and the connection that forms between therapist and client is one that I have found to be nourishing and profound. I also have a passion for supporting success in every form, so I deeply enjoy helping my clients fulfill their desire for a fuller, happier way to live, in whatever form that takes for them.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a temporary license in state of Tennessee (LPC-MHSP-Temp), and I work under the direct supervision of Paul Babb, ACS, LPC-MHSP.

Layers of the Sun - Courtesy NASA
The solar corona (the plasma outer layer of the Sun’s atmosphere) is 1.7 million degrees Kelvin—magnitudes hotter than the Sun’s chromosphere and photosphere1 underlayers. Historically, the solar magnetic field has been considered the source for such high temperatures; however it may be that no one process, but a number of processes work together to accomplish this.
A fascinating added feature—the Sun’s corona has been discovered to have holes in it. These holes are not revealed in ordinary visible wavelength photographic studies. Why not? It has to do with the corona’s high temperature. At elevated temperatures, a high percentage of the energy emitted falls in the ultraviolet and x-ray portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The Sun’s Magnetic Field
Most people are familiar with lines of magnetic force, such as are generated by a bar magnet. A bar magnet placed under a piece of paper sprinkled with iron filings aligns the particles into arcs or loops. At the bar’s ends, the appearance may be different. Open field lines can be seen. For the Sun, such lines exit the Sun’s surface and extend way out into space. Where this occurs, there are holes in the corona, and the surface looks relatively dark inside.
Coronal holes during periods of low solar activity are most prominent at the Sun’s northern and southern poles. During busier times, coronal holes appear also at other latitudes of the Sun’s surface. The holes are dark because the magnetic lines vertically penetrating the Sun’s surface in them hinders heat convection, whereas there is no such hindrance outside the coronal holes.
What Underlies Coronal Hole Fluctuation and Movement?
Since coronal holes are caused by the Sun’s magnetic field, changes in them must be reflected by an ever-changing magnetic field. Why is the Sun’s magnetic field not relatively static? It is complex and due to a host of factors, which include the variability of the Sun’s rotation rate with latitude, and the charges and fluidity of its plasma. The charged particles strongly influence its magnetic field. The metastable magnetic field produces coronal holes varying in size and in location.

What Phenomena Originate at Coronal Holes?
Charged particles escape the surface of the Sun through coronal holes. The steady stream escaping constitutes the high-speed component of what is called the “solar wind.” This solar wind travels at approximately 400 kilometers per second (about one million miles-per-hour). It is the solar wind that (at least in part) causes the tails of comets to point away from the Sun. The solar wind is also responsible for fluctuations in the Earth’s magnetosphere, and can produce solar storms therein. As a result, the solar wind can disrupt communications and interfere with navigation systems.2 Coronal holes are the object of study at a number of leading institutions, including in their number NASA, Harvard, and Florida State University.

The four dilemmas of timing when to implement a business strategy
Although we have become quite savvy about knowing whether an innovative idea is disruptive, we don't really have tools for knowing when such disruption should happen, and when we need to get our organizations ready for it.
Indeed, innovative business often worry that they are evolving too slowly and will get left behind amid disruptive transformation. And yet, if business evolve too quickly, they risk losing followers, skipping over relevant stakeholders, or even pushing an irrelevant or irresponsible idea.
The following framework was developed by the Technical University of Denmark and sponsored by Brightline Initiative to help companies adapt internal resources for successfully timing their strategies. | <urn:uuid:4ef4ca87-046d-4355-a436-11d6ef545a75> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.brightline.org/resources/brightline-infographic-timining-is-money/ | 2023-09-28T16:55:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.965239 | 135 |

A 22-year-old man was arrested for driving drunk and fleeing the scene of an accident after allegedly hitting a bicyclist in Urbana, Illinois. He told authorities he “panicked” and drove away despite realizing he had struck the bicyclist.
Mitchell Snodgrass, 22, pleaded not guilty to two counts of aggravated driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident and failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident. If convicted, he could face penalties ranging from probation to a 12-year prison sentence.
Bicyclist Jonathon Parrish, 28, was taken to a hospital with serious injuries. He suffered a broken nose, fractured ribs and brain swelling. Parrish was hit from behind as he was riding his bicycle with two others at night.
Illinois State Police arrested Snodgrass after tracking him down at his home. Authorities said he admitted to drinking several beers at an Urbana bar prior to the accident, striking the victim and panicking. “He said he was scared and left. He confessed to his wrongdoing,” said Urbana police investigator Sgt. Matt Bain.
Preliminary tests revealed Snodgrass had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.168, twice the legal limit of 0.08 in Illinois. He also provided blood and urine samples for testing. | <urn:uuid:6ff71020-a4e6-4331-b8e1-05779e293921> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.briskmanandbriskman.com/2019/06/driver-arrested-for-fleeing-scene-of-bicycle-accident/ | 2023-09-28T17:15:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.983078 | 273 |
rook, (Corvus frugilegus), the most abundant Eurasian bird of the crow family Corvidae (q.v.). It resembles the carrion crow in size (45 cm [18 inches]) and in black coloration, but the adult rook usually has shaggy thigh feathers and has bare white skin at the base of its sharp bill. The species ranges discontinuously from England to Iran and Manchuria and is migratory. Rooks nest in large colonies (rookeries) in tall trees, sometimes within towns. Their nests are solidly constructed of twigs and soil and are used year after year. The birds lay three to five light greenish, heavily speckled eggs, and the young are able to fly about a month after birth. Rooks dig for larvae and worms in meadows and plowed fields and may pull up grain seedlings and young potato plants.

Rohit Suri, Managing Director, JLR India
Luxury car makers, including Tata Motors-owned JLR, expect a bump in the market owing to the positive impact of goods and services tax (GST) on prices. Rohit Suri, managing director (MD) of JLR India, tells Ajay Modi, that the company is confident about growing volume and the market share in India because of its expanding network, product portfolio and the growth in the overall market. Edited excerpts:
How does the current year look considering the last one was a flat year for the luxury segment?
Last year was challenging due to various events such as diesel ban, duty increase and demonetisation. This year the market seems to be much positive. In the long term, GST will help in expanding the overall market. Prices are coming down due to GST in our segments. We definitely see this as a good year. Last calendar year we retained out the market share of 8-9 per cent. This year, we look to increase the market share with the introduction of new products.
JLR aims to double the market share in India. When is it likely to happen?
In the next 2-3 years, we should be able to double the market share with a very strong portfolio. While I am not going into the specific market share that we may hold, we are confident of exponentially increasing the market share. We will be strong with respect to standard utility vehicles (SUVs) to gain the market share. We definitely expect a volume as well as the market share growth this year on the back of our work on the product and the network side. The overall market growth due to GST will help us. We have repositioned some prices in April and FY18 has started off pretty well.
Are you seeing the postponement of purchases due to GST?
We were little apprehensive after GST rates came in. So, we decided to pass on benefits that will accrue in the GST regime so that there is no reason for people to postpone purchases. We have started to see footfalls coming back.
Luxury car makers, including JLR, expanded petrol offerings in reaction to diesel ban of NCR. Is there a shift towards petrol cars or buyers no longer want it as the ban got lifted?
After the ban was lifted, there was a lot of confusion and dithering of purchases. It impacted the overall sales for every luxury player. Post the ban, there are many people who continue to prefer buying diesel car but we are starting to see a gradual increase in the demand for petrol cars. There is a shift from diesel to petrol though it varies from segment to segment. The final mix we cannot predict now. We will adapt to the requirement of consumers.
How many JLR vehicles you make in India? Is India also a supplier of components for the global business?
We have five popular products that are now locally produced in both brands — Jaguar and Land Rover. We have a good proportion now being locally produced. On the component side, there are suppliers who supply from all over the world, including India, for JLR. Four-five years ago there were hardly any suppliers from India. Now we have certain critical components coming from India and we hope this will increase further if components are competitive. That drive continues. It is difficult to put a number here.
How significant is the used car business for JLR? Why is it becoming critical? There are many people who aspire to own a Jaguar and Land Rover product but sometimes pricing becomes a restriction for us. We have been in India for 7-8 years and we have a good park of used JLR cars (about 17,000 units). Our used car also delivers value for money and we support it with extended service packages, etc. It becomes a good option. Customers, who are not able to take our new car, can consider the used car with a starting price of Rs 20 lakh. Used car business helps the existing customers to upgrade to new cars and allows new buyers to experience a JLR so that they may in the future upgrade to a new car. | <urn:uuid:576aff1b-d769-401a-93c6-067443fe0c7a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.bsmotoring.com/news/gst-will-help-expand-luxury-car-market-jlr-india-md-rohit-suri/15691 | 2023-09-28T17:14:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.970808 | 841 |
Despite the measures announced by the finance minister to boost the automobile sector, carmakers have said the sector would only see some revival in sentiments, that too, at the industry level and not at the consumer level.
A spokesperson at two-wheeler market leader, Hero MotoCorp, said the measures would improve liquidity, increase ease of lending and the transmission of rate reduction, but there is an urgent need to reduce GST on two-wheelers to 18 per cent from 28 per cent. “Two-wheelers are neither luxury nor ‘sin’ goods. Reducing GST to 18 per cent will help boost demand immediately, leading to an even more positive impact. We hope this will be addressed in the next round of measures,” the spokesperson said.
An official from another two-wheeler firm said, “There is nothing in the stimulus for two- or three-wheelers that would help us sell more today than we did on that Friday.”
Despite the booster dose, analysts also expect the ongoing financial year to see a mid-single-digit drop in overall volumes across all vehicle segments.
In a bid to arrest the steep decline in auto sales the government on Friday announced a slew of measures like mandating government agencies and departments to replace old vehicles, increasing depreciation on new vehicles for commercial fleet service providers, urging banks to make auto loans cheaper, and increase credit availability to non-banking finance companies.
The FM also assured buyers and manufacturers that vehicles compliant with Bharat Stage IV emission norms registered before March 31, 2020, would be able to run for the entire registration period or the life of the vehicle. Auto sales in India have been falling for nine straight months. Among these, sales of passenger vehicles dropped to the lowest in two decades in July.
“We don’t know whether we have reached the bottom in the current cycle. If we have, it needs a booster shot,” said an official at a carmaker. While the measures would definitely have an impact, one doesn’t know how much time it will take. The liquidity measures are expected to help wholesale finance (finance sought by dealers for purchasing vehicles), but end consumers will benefit only if the borrowing rate of interests are lowered.
In his address to company’s shareholders on Tuesday, R C Bhargava, chairman Maruti Suzuki India, said he was hopeful the measures announced on Friday would go a long way in reviving demand in the domestic market. “Some of the measures are very good and faster availability of GST refunds will fuel further growth. Also, the assurance from government that bankers will not attract punitive measures for bonafide commercial decisions will also help,” Bhargava said.
Meanwhile analysts remain sceptical of recovery.
“While the measures will help revive sentiments, it is unlikely to translate into demand,” said Bharat Giani, analyst at Sharekhan. “For instance, a mere increase in depreciation rate will not prompt transporters to buy trucks. Unless the freight availability goes up and the utilisation of existing fleet improves, they may not buy new trucks. Most of the other announcements and clarifications... will only ensure sentiments don’t get impacted further. It will not change much on the ground,” he said. | <urn:uuid:10d1f064-3d00-4bb4-8f03-34b7733008c8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.bsmotoring.com/news/nothing-much-in-stimulus-to-make-consumers-happy-say-carmakers/17783 | 2023-09-28T17:42:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.955775 | 678 |
The belt pouch from the Tec-X series by AVALON is visually very well done and its cheeky design is in no way inferior to its practical use. Made of robust nylon fabric with a striking honeycomb look, it is ideal for storing the finger tab or release. Of course, other accessories can also be stored safely and are always at hand in the softly padded and fleece-lined interior. By the way, the interior is divided into two areas by a divider. The bag is closed by a drawstring, which only pulls the inner lining of the bag and leaves the outer shape untouched.

Upside down: Drunk drivers' names off-limits to media, but not CHL-holders'
By Chad D. Baus
When it comes to being discriminated against for exercising a civil, Constitutional, and human right, gun owners are in a class unto themselves.
Try to impose "reasonable" controls by abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or by prohibiting the free exercise of religion, and we will hear no end to the screaming.
On the other hand, our nation's courts have decided that while taking off one's cloths and dancing for pay is "speech", political discourse by grassroots groups like the NRA a few weeks before an election is not. While the elites and bureaucrats are eager to ban "assault weapons", we have been counseled by everyone from the mainstream media to the President since the day the buildings fell that we must go to great lengths to ensure that radical members of this "assault religion" are not discriminated against.
The latest examples of this discrimination against those who choose to exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms comes direct from Columbus, Ohio, where Senators continue to allow journalists to access the private information about law-abiding citizens who obtain concealed handgun licenseholders and publish it on the Internet. Meanwhile, this same body recently voted to shield the names of some public employees from view on the Internet, and the Ohio Supreme Court recently decided that the names of all Ohioans convicted of drunken driving are off-limits to newspapers.
This poor view of Ohio's gun owners isn't restricted just to Ohio's legislative and judicial branches (both of which are controlled by Republicans). When Ohio's concealed carry law first was enacted, Republican Governor Bob Taft, long a opponent of the legislation, made news by removing the names of all former prison inmates from the state's Web site so that the convicts would not have to be "stigmatized" - this just a few weeks after he had insisted that the names of CHL-holders be given to journalists, who could then go publish them on the Internet.
The latest effort to keep some more fortunate Ohioans' names off of the 'Net comes in response to a continued push from the Ohio Fraternal Order of Police to limit access to records related to its members. According to the Columbus Dispatch, Senate Bill 6 would ensure that if a property owner is a police officer, prosecutor, prison employee, youth-services employee, firefighter or EMT, the online records, such as property parcels, would show only the person's initials.
Mark Drum, a lobbyist for the Ohio FOP, told the Dispatch that "our major concern is the criminal element that's using the Internet for a number of criminal ventures, one of which is to seek retribution on law enforcement."
Indeed, and yet the FOP and Senate have overlooked an equally obvious danger to many of these same public officials who have obtained concealed handgun licenses - if they have a CHL, their private information is likely already available on the Internet, thanks to any number of anti-gun Ohio newspaper editors.
Buckeye Firearms Association previously brought you the story of a prison guard who was tracked down by a former inmate by using a concealed carry license list published in the local paper. And when asked by the Dispatch for examples of when criminals in Ohio have used public records to go after police officers, Drum mentioned two: an Akron detective who received a bomb in the mail, and a Dayton police officer was threatened by a man who got out of prison and called his house.
As Attorney General Marc Dann recently issued an opinion addressing the concealed carry law's media access loophole. Among his findings is that there is nothing in the law prohibiting journalists from publishing a CHL-holders' name, date of birth and county of residence once they are given access to it. So in the name of protecting these public employees (and the rest of us), shouldn't SB6 be amended in the House to close the media access loophole once and for all?
When the bill is taken up for consideration in the House, I will be anxious to see if one of our pro-gun House Representatives is willing to present an amendment that would end this discrimination against Ohio CHL-holders and close the loop when it comes to protecting the public employees they are concerned about.

Building Quality Homes For Over 24 Years
Joshua Homes was founded in 1996 when Tim Stenberg recognized a void in the housing market: practical homes built with a focus on unique characteristics and rock-solid quality. Over 24 years later, our values haven’t wavered and our founding principles are still closely adhered to.
Our goal is to provide the highest quality home at a reasonable price. In doing so, we hope to introduce true value to the housing market.
We currently build in two primary markets: Sioux Falls, SD, and Clear Lake, IA. We have exclusive single family and twin home lots within “Stenberg Neighborhoods” in both states.
Tim Stenberg was born in Ames, IA. A graduate of the University Of Iowa School Of Business, Tim has always had a passion for the home construction industry – a field he has worked in since the 5th grade. Tim built his first home in 1994 and, after years of successful building, turned to his dream of developing neighborhoods. In 2003, Tim and Dawn developed their first neighborhood (in Sioux Falls) and began building in Clear Lake, IA. He enjoys spending time with his family, traveling and listening to music.
Dawn Stenberg was born in Worthington, MN. She moved to Sioux Falls in 1982 and attended Augustana University. Dawn serves as Vice President, in-house designer and project coordinator. She works as a contact between homebuyers and subcontractors, and has considerable experience in working to make sure each home is designed and tailored to the personal interests of our homebuyers. In her spare time, Dawn enjoys gardening, giving back to the community through volunteer service, listening to audio books, traveling, and spending time with friends and family. | <urn:uuid:aef792f5-34c2-44a5-a994-fcfa7bfb9af4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.builtbyjoshua.com/about-us | 2023-09-28T17:09:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.98043 | 356 |

Women & Work 2019 – Exclusive interview series on Europe’s largest women’s fair
Companies as well as individuals focus on what we see, such as nationalities, gender, physical or mental disabilities, etc. We see less people with their characteristics, abilities and potentials. The company’s practice in the selection of personnel is mostly based on training and professional experience – if there is no certificate, persons exist less. However, examples such as Steve Jobs and many more prove the opposite time and again. We as human beings can do so much more.
Humanism is the main topic at this year’s Women & Work 2019. The changes in digitisation and the new challenges such as demographic change, lack of skilled workers, etc. give us the chance to break down prejudices. We can increase our human performance potential and thus secure a competitive advantage. This is exactly what we are working on in our Konektur Partner Network. It is important to us to focus on humanity in business.
Forster was born in Linz, Austria. She is a double entrepreneur, author, podcaster, blogger and YouTuber.
Forster is characterized by her versatility, high empathy and trustworthiness, spontaneity, improvisation, ambition, honesty & helpfulness.
Her passion is coaching with heart and the topics of succession planning, leadership and human resources. In addition, she offers web & app solutions that map the interview and assessment center process simply & digitally and thus facilitate the personnel selection – decision-making process.
For more than 12 years she has been advising small and large companies on personnel, employee and management issues. Her goal is for you to know and use your potential to position yourself and your company for the future.
“When I was 14, I already knew my career goal. Since my first business school lesson I wanted to become an entrepreneur. First I studied business administration, then I started with a classical permanent position in the personnel area. When I was 29, I started my own business as a consultant and trainer for personnel topics in companies.
A heart journey followed and I determined what was important to me in my life and how I could reconcile family and career. Two coaching courses followed and it became clear to me where my core competencies lie: working with the potential of people and companies, solving leadership issues and also accompanying changes. I then found myself in the area of corporate succession”.
Settle the succession with ease & heart. This is her motto and her heart’s desire for all female entrepreneurs.
She basically likes people who develop themselves, look ahead and realize their dreams, who advance and change the world, no matter in which area.
One of her great dreams is to change and redesign our economy. For her, our economic system is shaped by power and money, with people playing only a minor role. We are wasting so much potential because we think only in the drawers and in the structures shaped by industrialization. However, everything is currently changing and new ways of thinking and acting are in demand.
To the question “What makes you successful?” she answers: “Just stick with it, believe in yourself, go on and reinvent myself again and again”.
Privately Forster loves nature, runs a half marathon and likes to climb mountains of 4000-6000 meters altitude. She likes to climb high up and obviously feels at home there. Family is very important to her. She wants to live healthy and active and above all be in harmony with herself.
This also includes social commitment and the support of others. As a member of the Executive Board of the Wirtschaftsjunioren, she is intensively involved in economic policy and social issues.

There are many more working women who use a hair straightener for a desirable hair look. In that case, always keep some point in mind whenever you use it.
- Daily straightening can be damage your hair then use it alternatively!
- Always use it at low temperature, if it requires daily use!
Some Quick Secret Tips for Healthy Hair
- If you have wavy hair, do not sleep with wet hair because the natural waves are crushed and would have to re-wet the next day to comb.
- Choose hairstyles simple not requiring handling long hair to prevent damage.
- Try to make your hair dry naturally whenever you can. As the heat of the dryer as damage (if you have to try using it for the rush that is not too hot or too close to the hair)
- Do not use the spray directly on the hair, but at a moderate distance.
- At least every two months despúntate hair and split ends and eliminate possible battered ends.
- On humid or rainy days, pick up your hair so you do not lose its shape.
- Not to try to brush your hair aggressively, stress and air pollution can also lead to his downfall.
- If you take a bath just, don’t dry your hair quickly. Simply adjust your hairdryer at a suitable mode and use it if you are unable to go on the roof/ balcony.
In the case of dying grey hair, one can opt for a perfectly based ointment of sage. Sage has the property to darken hair without affecting the nature of the hair.
Sage is also a natural compound that helps to counteract dandruff. In fact, you can make a homemade lotion of 5 drops of sage mixed with a teaspoon of almond oil for a massage designed to eliminate that annoying hair problem.
If you want to change the tone of the hair then use natural elements like henna. Henna is a shrub that’s leaves are extracted from natural dye. Even, they do not affect the hair as it combines perfectly with the hair keratin.
As a plant extract, the henna will not only help change the tone of the hair (usually closer to reddish) but also helps to hair nutrition. In relation to hair care is another aid laurel found in nature.
Just simply place in boiling water a few bay leaves and the resulting liquid can be washed hair. This will help to regenerate the scalp and slow down the effect of hair loss.
If you have a problem you concern with the dermatologist. Usually, They are not the right specialist to help find the right remedy, because caring for hair is depends on the health of the scalp, that is the skin of our head. | <urn:uuid:da3a7993-2fb6-41e9-8a11-8e633505a416> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.businessmagazine.org/some-important-secret-tips-for-healthy-hair-forever-11862/ | 2023-09-28T17:57:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.944567 | 1,457 |

Lewis Hamilton and the Dragster RR have much in common. They are both radical and extreme as regards style, are obsessive about detail, exuberant, bold and fear no rivals. They share the same winning nature and desire for the absolute. Together, they form an irresistible force which, summed up in just a few letters, will become legendary: Dragster RR LH 44.
The intrinsic value of a hand-built Dragster RR featuring special parts and finishes will now be even higher as a collector's item. Never before has an F1 champion participated directly in the creation of a new motorbike, and the fact that it was an MV Agusta speaks volumes.
Lewis Hamilton was in very close contact with Castiglioni Research Centre for several months as they chose details, finishes and very exclusive accessories. The graphics are a good example: the pearl white colour scheme and panther logo are taken from his helmet, while 44 is his race number, which decorates the front and side of the bike, not to mention the ignition key.
The bike features countless examples of true craftsmanship, ranging from the Alcantara quilt pattern saddle to numerous parts made from Ergal (brake lever, handlebars, fuel filler cap, brake pump cover) with a special anodised red finish on the logos, frame, footpegs and spectacular spoked wheels. Other features of the Dragster RR LH44 include adjustable clip-on bars finished in matt black like the side stand, frame and footpeg plates.
Like an F1 car, most of the bodywork on the LH44 is made from carbon fibre with a matt 3K finish. This highly expensive, exotic material was used to make the front and rear mudguards, the screen, air box and side covers, exhaust heat shields, gear box and swingarm covers and sprocket guard. Â The similarities with F1 extend to the front of the bike, which is dominated by the race number 44 (incorporated into the limited edition ID plate on the 244 bikes) as well as the panther and Hamilton's signature.
In detail, the main features of MV Agusta Dragster RR LH 44:
- In-line three-cylinder engine, 798 cc
- Bore 79.0 mm, stroke 54.3 mm
- Maximum power 140 HP-EC (103 kW) at 13,100 rpm
- Maximum torque 86 Nm at 10,100 rpm
- Rev limiter at 13,200 rpm
- Dry weight 168 kg
- Power-to-weight ratio 1.19 kg/HP
- Tyres Pirelli DIABLO Rosso II 120/70 - ZR 17 (front) and 200/50 – ZR 17 (rear)
Universally acknowledged as the modern benchmark for in-line 3 cylinder power units, the MV Agusta engine requires no introduction: it is pure Italian technology at its best, energy that continues to evolve. In fact, MV Agusta has taken an already exemplary bike and fine tuned it even further. Like every RR, the Dragster just “has to†offer something more. Hence the most powerful engine in its category. Developed from the 3- cylinder engine that powers the Brutale 800 and Brutale Dragster 800, this most recent 3-cylinder version unleashes 140 hp and puts out Superbike- like revs (maximum power is achieved at 13,100 rpm), making the Brutale 800 Dragster RR not just uniquely eye-catching but also placing it beyond the reach of its competitors in the same segment. Don't waste your time looking: the only place you'll find another equally powerful 3-cylinder 800 engine is on another MV Agusta, the F3 800. To build an engine as light and compact as possible. To combine racing performance with outstanding rideability. These were the goals that MV developers set for themselves when they designed the 3-cylinder engine range: goals that the Brutale 800 Dragster RR engine achieves admirably. Weighing in at just 52 kg and being extremely compact despite the displacement, the in-line 3-cylinder engine optimises weight distribution while the counterrotating crankshaft - a solution never before adopted on standard production models - enhances the dynamic performance of the Brutale 800 Dragster RR. These are characteristics that make this engine the best example of Italian engineering excellence and one of the most advanced triples in the world.
The constant quest for perfection in every detail has led to the development of a new hydraulic chain tensioner, which makes the engine both quieter and more reliable. For an engine that is not an F3 800 offshoot but the evolution of the 3-cylinder unit mounted on the Dragster, the configuration on the Brutale 800 Dragster RR is the most powerful ever to go into production. The 140 hp at 13,100 rpm are achieved in part because of the fully redesigned airbox and an optimised, more efficient exhaust system. Changes have also been made to the electronic injection, which has an advanced sixinjector system (two per cylinder, instead of the single injector used on other Brutale models): a reshaped fuel tank interior provides the necessary space and keeps everything hidden from view. The resulting power delivery is linear at low revs and explosive at high revs, giving the three-cylinder engine eye-watering acceleration, which ends only at 13,200 rpm when the rev limiter kicks in. Power is not the only thing to have been given a considerable boost: torque has also been raised, from 81 to 86 Nm. Figures like that clearly illustrate the impressive individuality of this revamped MV Agusta 3-cylinder engine. The removable 6-speed gearbox was naturally maintained - another solution taken from the racing world - with gearing specially designed to provide staggering on-road acceleration and outstanding versatility even on the racetrack. | <urn:uuid:4e1e4e73-5919-476a-9873-31d5f4031ae1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.buysellmoto.com/cyprus-motorcycle-news/282/mv-agusta-dragster-rr-lh44.html?rurl=%26dpn%3D30 | 2023-09-28T16:44:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.932823 | 1,229 |

Tech Trends: Rebuilding Iraq14 Dec, 2004 By: Arnie Williams
ESRI and Bentley help clean the water
Much of the world's focus today is on war-torn Iraq. Newspapers and airwaves are awash in stark images of warfare and destruction. With sweeping photos of destroyed buildings topping nightly news broadcasts, it's hard to imagine how some of these locations will ever move from destruction to reconstruction. Even so, a number of organizations have spent the past year focusing on a more positive view of the future of Iraq. Organizations such as the U.S. Agency for International Development and the U.N. OCHA (United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) are investing time, training, and resources in Iraq with a view toward rebuilding the country's vital infrastructure.
Of course, trying to do so in the midst of war is much like attempting to change the tire on a moving vehicle. In some ways it's impossible, and in other cases, impractical. But preparing for the windows of opportunity that present themselves, especially as Iraq undergoes national elections and strives to provide more security for its cities, is a paramount goal of these and other aid organizations.
Without doubt, technology will play a crucial role in helping to revamp and modernize Iraq's infrastructure, particularly in areas of water distribution and power management. Technology from two companies familiar to the CAD and GIS industries is involved in these initial efforts—mapping technology from ESRI (www.esri.com) and hydraulic mapping and analysis technology from Bentley Systems (www.bentley.com) , through technology acquired in its recent purchase of Haestad Methods (www.haestad.com) .
IN SEARCH OF A PLACE TO TRAINESRI has donated software and training resources to the Iraq effort since the beginning of the conflict, notes David Gadsden, international relations and federal account manager for ESRI. Much preliminary work has been done in support of efforts by U.N. OCHA to establish a gazetteer of locations throughout the country. U.N. OCHA has created a mapping standard for linking planned projects to locations so that all of the aid and reconstruction organizations that will be involved in the rebuilding effort will have a data standard to work from.
The challenge for U.N. OCHA has been to integrate data from U.S. Department of Defense military grid maps, GPS data from U.N. sources, its own p-code standards currently under development, and legacy maps from Iraq—all into a standardized and widely usable GIS database (figure 1).
Figure 1. Maps such as these linking aid projects and infrastructure refurbishment needs to specific locations in Iraq are being developed to provide technology resources to coordinate reconstruction efforts in Iraq. Maps courtesy of USAID.
The good news, notes Gadsden, is that the Iraqi ministry had comprehensive legacy maps and a sophisticated knowledge of geography at the outset. What they needed was training in the latest technology, and ESRI was instrumental in helping to provide that. But finding a safe and secure training location in a war-torn country was no easy task.
After initial consideration of Baghdad and Mosul as potential training sites, ESRI worked with the U.N. Humanitarian Information Centres to set up ArcGIS training for the Iraq Ministry in Amman, Jordan. The training took place in November 2003, notes Gadsden, and was quite successful.
With much of the day-to-day work of reconstruction on standby, current U.N. efforts are largely focused on the upcoming election. Most, if not all, of the reconstruction work will await the outcome and aftermath of successful elections and subsequent improvements in security. But when the time is right, the Iraq Ministry will have the most up-to-date mapping and GIS resources.
THE IMPORTANCE OF WATERFew natural elements are as crucial to the quality of life as an ample supply of clean, fresh water. This is even more tenuous in war-ravaged countries where water management facilities can often suffer disruptions and destruction (figure 2). A number of companies, such as Parsons (an engineering, program management, and construction firm) through USAID (www.usaid.gov, will work on revamping and redeveloping water resources just as soon as it's safe to do so. Parsons recently selected WaterGEMS (Geographic Engineering and Modeling System) technology from Bentley as one of its technology tools to aid in its water infrastructure projects.
Figure 2. A potable water main runs through a raw sewage canal near a residential area of Nasiriyah in southern Iraq. Distribution of potable water remains a big problem for the citizens. Existing water lines are few and are often contaminated because of a high water table and the presence of open sewage.

The technology, notes Dr. Tom Walski, a hydraulics specialist with Bentley Systems, works in conjunction with mapping technology to provide pressure and flow data crucial to the refurbishment of water distribution systems (figure 3).
Figure 3. A WaterGEMS map, such as this, with its ability to locate p-code data and to import maps from various GIS mapping systems, will help companies such as Parsons Engineering streamline efforts to refurbish damaged water systems in war-torn Iraq.
"Before you put a pipe in the ground," he says, "you want to make sure it's the right pipe and that the system will work." WaterGEMS provides hydraulic simulation and testing, which helps eliminate costly errors in piping outlays, pumps, tanks, valves, and the like, especially over varied terrain.
Before such technology, notes Walski, civil engineers would often work from paper maps. They spent an inordinate amount of time manually building a hydraulic model, typing in data, calculating pipe lengths, and trying to interpolate topographical maps and elevations. What used to take days and was prone to error now takes minutes thanks to the ability to read existing or imported CAD and GIS data, ensuring accurate models.
WaterGEMS technology is strong, mainly because of its flexibility. The software works as a stand-alone product with its own built-in GIS database, but can also be incorporated into ESRI's ArcGIS product, AutoCAD, and Autodesk mapping products. The software will soon be integrated into Bentley's PowerCivil, PowerField, and PowerMap products.
"An important thing to keep in mind," notes Bob Mankowski, "is that water-utility infrastructure projects are not one-time affairs." With a civil engineering degree from Drexel University, Mankowski joined Haestad Methods in 1995 and progressed to the chief technical officer post. He now serves as Bentley's director of product management for municipal products. Mankowski has been instrumental in the development of a number of water technology products. "Water treatment and hydraulic assets last a long time," he says, "so design and maintenance goes on year after year. It's not just a design it, build it, and forget it operation. Rather it's design, build, operate, and manage—throughout the complete lifecycle to retirement."
HOPE FOR THE FUTUREObviously, the situation in Iraq is frustrating on many levels to the aid organizations that are ready to offer much-needed infrastructure refurbishment and modernization. The planned January elections and hoped-for improvements in security throughout the country could open many doors that are now too high-risk for many projects to go forward. As security improves, the Iraq Ministry and other Iraqi organizations that will work hand-in-hand with aid organizations will be able to use an array of sophisticated technologies, such as those provided by ESRI and Bentley, to speed up such vital quality-of-life projects.

Warm your soul with a comforting bowl of parsnip soup and savor the creamy goodness. Parsnips, with their sweet and nutty flavor, make for the perfect ingredient to create a delicious and nourishing soup.
Why Choose Parsnip Soup?
When it comes to choosing a comforting soup, parsnip soup is an excellent choice for several reasons. First and foremost, parsnips are packed with nutrients that can benefit your overall health. They are a great source of vitamins C and E, as well as minerals such as potassium and manganese. Additionally, parsnips contain dietary fiber, which can aid in digestion and help promote a healthy gut.
Another reason to choose parsnip soup is its versatility. Parsnips pair well with a variety of flavors, allowing you to experiment and create different taste profiles. Whether you prefer a more savory soup or something with a hint of sweetness, parsnips can easily adapt to your preferences.
Furthermore, parsnip soup is incredibly easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can whip up a delicious and satisfying meal. Even if you’re not an experienced cook, parsnip soup is a beginner-friendly dish that will impress your taste buds and those of your guests.
Creating Parsnip Soup Base
Now that you understand why parsnip soup is a great choice, let’s dive into the process of creating a delicious parsnip soup base. The key to a flavorful soup lies in the base, consisting of sautéed onions and garlic.
To start, heat some olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and minced garlic, stirring occasionally until they become fragrant and translucent. This will create a beautiful aromatic base for your soup.
Next, it’s time to add the star of the show – parsnips! Peel and dice the parsnips into small, uniform pieces. Add them to the pot and cook for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Once the parsnips have softened slightly, it’s time to add some liquid to the pot. You can use vegetable broth or chicken broth, depending on your preference. Pour enough broth to cover the parsnips, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook until the parsnips are tender and easily mashed with a fork.
Once the parsnips are fully cooked, it’s time to blend the soup. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If the soup appears too thick, you can add additional broth or water to achieve your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnishing and Serving Suggestions
Now that your parsnip soup base is ready, it’s time to elevate your dish with some delicious garnishes and serving suggestions. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on top of each serving for a creamy finish.
- Sprinkle some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for a burst of freshness.
- Drizzle a small amount of truffle oil over the soup to add a luxurious and earthy flavor.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or homemade garlic croutons for some extra texture.
Remember, garnishing is a chance to let your creativity shine. Feel free to experiment with different toppings and flavors to find your favorite combination.
In conclusion, mastering the art of cooking parsnips opens up a world of culinary possibilities. From comforting parsnip soup to roasted parsnips and beyond, this versatile vegetable can be transformed into a variety of delicious dishes. So don’t be afraid to get creative and explore the wonders of cooking with parsnips!
Mashed: The Creaminess of Parsnips
Experience the velvety texture and unique flavor of mashed parsnips, a delightful alternative to mashed potatoes. Parsnips are root vegetables that belong to the same family as carrots and parsley. They have a sweet and earthy flavor that pairs perfectly with butter and cream. Mashing parsnips creates a smooth and creamy side dish that is sure to impress your dinner guests.
Why Make Mashed Parsnips?
Mashed parsnips offer a delicious twist on traditional mashed potatoes. They are a fantastic option for those looking to add variety to their meals and incorporate different flavors into their cooking. Parsnips contain less starch than potatoes, resulting in a lighter and less dense texture. This makes them an excellent choice for those watching their carbohydrate intake or following a gluten-free diet.
In addition to their unique texture, mashed parsnips provide a host of health benefits. They are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. These nutrients play a vital role in supporting optimal immune function, maintaining healthy blood pressure levels, and promoting proper digestion.
Cooking and Mashing Techniques
Before you can start mashing parsnips, you’ll need to cook them until they are soft and tender. To do this, peel the parsnips and cut them into evenly sized pieces. Place the parsnip pieces in a pot of boiling water and cook them for about 15-20 minutes, or until they can be easily pierced with a fork.
Once the parsnips are cooked, drain them and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash the parsnips until they reach your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, add a splash of milk or cream and continue to mash until smooth.
Enhancing the Flavor of Mashed Parsnips
While mashed parsnips are delicious on their own, there are several ways to enhance their flavor and make them even more enjoyable. Consider incorporating these additional ingredients:
- Garlic: Add minced garlic to the mashed parsnips for a savory and aromatic twist.
- Herbs: Experiment with herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley to add a fresh and vibrant taste.
- Caramelized Onions: Sautéed caramelized onions can add a touch of sweetness and depth of flavor to the mashed parsnips.
- Parmesan Cheese: Grated Parmesan cheese is a fantastic option for those who enjoy a cheesy and nutty flavor profile.
Remember to season your mashed parsnips with salt and pepper to taste. The right balance of seasoning can elevate the dish and bring out the natural sweetness of the parsnips.
Pro tip: For an extra kick of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or a drizzle of truffle oil to your mashed parsnips.
In conclusion, mastering the art of cooking parsnips begins with understanding the versatility of mashed parsnips. These creamy and flavorful root vegetables can be a delightful addition to any meal. Whether you’re looking for a healthier alternative to mashed potatoes or simply want to explore new flavors, mashed parsnips are worth a try. Experiment with various cooking and flavor-enhancing techniques to create the perfect mashed parsnips that will impress your taste buds.
Pan-Frying: Crispy Parsnip Goodness
Indulge in the crispy exterior and tender interior of pan-fried parsnips that make for a satisfying side dish or snack. Pan-frying is a simple and versatile cooking technique that brings out the natural sweetness of parsnips while adding a delightful crunch to each bite. With a few tips and tricks, you can easily master the art of cooking parsnips in a pan, creating a delicious and nutritious addition to your meals.
Advantages of Pan-Frying Parsnips
Pan-frying offers several advantages when it comes to cooking parsnips. Firstly, it allows for the development of a crispy texture on the outside, while keeping the inside tender and moist. This contrast in textures adds depth and complexity to the dish, making it more enjoyable to eat.
Additionally, pan-frying parsnips enhances their natural sweetness. The high heat caramelizes the sugars present in the parsnips, resulting in a rich and flavorful taste. This makes pan-fried parsnips a crowd-pleasing option, even for those who may not typically be a fan of this root vegetable.
Furthermore, pan-frying is a quick and efficient method of cooking parsnips. It takes just a few minutes to achieve a golden brown exterior and a soft, buttery interior. This makes it a great option for a quick side dish or snack when you’re short on time.
Preparing and Seasoning for Pan-Frying
Before you start pan-frying parsnips, it’s important to prepare them properly. Begin by peeling the parsnips and removing any blemishes or tough spots. Then, slice them into evenly sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
Once the parsnips are prepped, it’s time to season them. A simple seasoning of salt and black pepper can enhance the natural flavors of the parsnips. You can also add other herbs and spices such as paprika, garlic powder, or thyme to provide additional depth of flavor.
For a touch of sweetness, you can drizzle some honey or maple syrup on the parsnips before pan-frying. This will add a slight caramelized glaze to the finished dish.
Tips for Perfectly Pan-Fried Parsnips
To achieve perfectly pan-fried parsnips, follow these tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan to prevent the parsnips from sticking.
- Heat the pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil, such as olive oil or vegetable oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned parsnips to the pan in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them. This will allow for even browning.
- Cook the parsnips for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the pan-fried parsnips from the heat and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. This will help maintain their crispiness.
Now that you’ve mastered the art of pan-frying parsnips, you can enjoy them as a delectable side dish or a tasty snack. Their crispy exterior and tender interior will surely delight your taste buds. Whether you’re a parsnip enthusiast or a newbie to this root vegetable, pan-fried parsnips are a must-try addition to your culinary repertoire.

Before & After Photos
Bonnie was a slight two year old female who had never been groomed properly. Her coat was incredibly soft and long: almost like cotton candy. Below the top layer of what appeared to be well brushed coat, was layer upon layer of matted coat.
The length and the condition of the coat made Bonnie appear to be a little old lady. Bonnie needed a total strip (all the long dead coat pulled out). Here is the same little female several hours later after all the dead matted coat had been pulled out.
Duffy is a really handsome boy. Duffy was ‘dognapped’ and reunited with his rightful owners after a law suit. (It DOES pay to have a dog microchipped!) It took the owners almost a year to locate their dog, and when they got him back, they took the scissors to him, trimming his bangs and the long coat. THEN, they brought him in for grooming.
The dark face you see in the finished photograph is the color that his coat actually was under the dead coat shown in the ‘before’ photo. Duffy needed a total strip due to dead coat.
In BOTH sets of before & after photographs, you will notice how much younger the Cairn looks if properly groomed. | <urn:uuid:58ae1539-9b20-4b99-83ef-2551325f841f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cairnrescue.com/resources/before-after-photos/ | 2023-09-28T16:46:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.98361 | 281 |

We’ve covered much of the country by this point, and everywhere we go, the children wave enthusiastically, calling out heartbreaking “hellos!” as you pass, chasing the vehicle as far as their little legs will carry them.
These faces are so beautiful, their skin so perfect, their teeth a straight, white line.
If I were a modeling scout, I’d come to Rwanda every time I needed to recruit new talent.
These little buggers were frolicking in the water in a small fishing village alongside Lake Kivu as we drove past.
They obligingly let us stop and play with them for a good while, all the time snapping shots of their smiling faces.
I’ve taken, literally, thousands of portraits this week—when they’ll let me. It’s hard to choose just a few, so I’ll be rolling out the cuteness over the next few Photo Fridays.
Tell me your heart doesn’t just melt looking at these kids? These shining, perfect, blissfully happy kids.
(If it doesn’t, well, we shouldn’t be friends then.)
For a girl who wants no children of her own, I found it extremely hard not to pack them all in my suitcase and bring them home with me.
Next time I return, I’m not sure I’ll be so strong. | <urn:uuid:9507fbe4-578d-482d-8852-1bab75990d38> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.camelsandchocolate.com/photo-friday-children-of-rwanda-part-i/ | 2023-09-28T18:31:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.954465 | 298 |

Easy conversation starters and survival tips for those who are dreading this most social of seasons.
With invites for parties pouring in, the social set—who revel in mingling at shindigs—are in luck. But for those who struggle to chat up family, friends and strangers with ease, shmoozin' around the Christmas tree comes hand in hand with anxiety, discomfort and the desire to be home with your significant other watching your favourite festive flick. Thankfully, there are coping strategies to carry you through those fêtes without breaking a sweat. Here are some top tips for navigating holiday soirées with grace and confidence. You might even enjoy yourself!
COPING AT THE ANNUAL PARTY
Hate to break it to you, but this one's a must-attend. Your best bet is to look at this as another duty of your job. It's totally OK to show up late and take off soon, but there are advantages to arriving early: The crowd and activity will be less intense, which will make it easier to have conversations. If you're desperate to bail, say you have a previous commitment, which is perfectly believable during the busy holiday season. But make sure you get face time with your manager to thank him or her for having you, then slip out.
•What are your plans for the holidays? Are you travelling?
•What projects are you looking forward to working on next year?
•What do you enjoy doing when you're not at the office?
WELCOMING EXTRA GUESTS AT FRIENDS-MAS
So your friends have invited plus-ones to your traditionally intimate holiday gathering. Try to adopt the "any friend of Jane is a friend of mine" attitude, if only for one night. Truth is, the plus-ones are probably feeling out of place among all the girlfriends, so be inclusive. Bring new folks into the mix by chatting about favourite movies, restaurants and books, but keep inside jokes and gossip out of it.
•Do you make New Year's resolutions? What are they?
•What was your favourite part of the past year?
•What movie did you last watch? Was it any good?&bsp;
•Tell us your hidden talent!
•What job would you be terrible at?
DEALING WITH A DREADED FAMILY DINNER GUEST
There's always that relative (judgmental cousin, passive-aggressive sister-in-law, nosy uncle) who makes these gatherings, well, taxing. Before you duck out due to a phoney headache, put the dinner into context—it's just a couple of hours, and making the effort to attend will mean a lot to someone you love (your parents, partner, children). When you need a break, take one: Seek asylum in the restroom, go outside to collect your thoughts or spend a bit of time playing with the kids.
•What's the best adventure you have ever been on?
•What were your favourite holiday traditions growing up?
•Tell me about a book that has had a huge influence on you.
BEING A PLUS-ONE WHERE YOU DON'T KNOW ANYBODY
You may not think that you'll know other guests, but odds are you've at least heard about a few of the partygoers from the person you're accompanying. Take advantage of the opportunity to match faces with names and the stories you've been told, and ask your significant other to introduce you to some of those guests. Worst-case scenario: You end up surrounded by a bunch of strangers—but that's easy. Remember: People love to talk about themselves, so ask questions (nothing too personal or prying) and you can't go wrong.
•What new apps have changed your life this year?
•What are you obsessed with at the moment?
•What are your favourite things to do to relax?
Dress for the occasion
Not sure about the dress code? Ask your host what he or she will be wearing and take your cue from there.
Volunteer to help
Take photos, hang coats, pour drinks—pick something that gives you the chance to interact with guests without the stress of awkward small talk.
Find a group with uneven numbers
This is who you should approach if you don’t have anyone to talk to. Odds are those in the bunch are having a less intimate conversation than people in groups who have gravitated into duos.
When it’s time to leave the conversation, make a comment about the topic, say the person’s name, shake hands and move on. Try, "I really enjoyed hearing about your vacation plans, Chris. Have a great trip! Enjoy the rest of the evening."
Never be the last one to leave
Stay for as long as you're enjoying yourself, but plan your exit once others start leaving. Only those who are driving folks home or helping the host clean up should be left when the party wraps. | <urn:uuid:5b1cfa4b-79ca-4930-80a3-821f994ecf50> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.canadianliving.com/life-and-relationships/relationships/article/the-mingle-guide-how-to-navigate-painlessly-through-holiday-parties | 2023-09-28T16:54:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.952207 | 1,063 |

What is Animal Assisted Activity?
AAA is the casual “meet-and-greet” activity that involves pets visiting people. The same activity can be repeated with many people, unlike a therapy program that is tailored to a particular person or medical condition.
Why should my dog and I be evaluated and certified?
The training, evaluation and Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification helps ensure that visiting teams have the skills and aptitude to make a good team. As a member in good standing (annual membership dues of $50 paid in full and dog certified as a CGC), you and your pet are covered by a liability insurance policy while volunteering.
How do I know if my dog is suited for therapy work?
You and your pet should have an interest in people and enjoy visiting. Your pet should be healthy, have at least a basic level of training and be reliable, even in crowded or unexpected situations. Some essentials:
∙ Friendly to strangers; solicits interactions with people.
∙ Enjoys being petted, touched and hugged and can sit politely while being petted.
∙ Can walk nicely on a leash; stays when told; sits and lays down when told; comes when called.
∙ Behaves nicely around other dogs.
∙ Leaves items alone when told to leave it.
∙ Can take treats gently from a person’s hand.
∙ Demonstrates reliable, controllable, predictable behavior.
∙ Able to remain calm in disruptive settings.
∙ Outgoing, friendly and confident in new settings.
If your animal is unpredictable, doesn’t like being around people, or is aggressive to people or other animals it would not be suitable for therapy work.
Does the age of my dog matter for therapy visits?
Yes, your dog should be at least one year of age before making therapy visits. Younger dogs can be enrolled with Canines for Christ of Southwest Ohio for training and to obtain their CGC certification.
Does my dog have to have all its vaccinations?
Your dog must be up to date with rabies vaccination and any other state required vaccine. Individual facilities may have their own requirements.
Can my children volunteer with me or do this on their own?
Children as young as 10 years old can become registered as a handler for a therapy animal team. All handlers, regardless of age, will need to complete the training and obtain CGC certification. Handlers that are 10 – 16 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian on all visits. Please be aware, some facilities may have age limits.
What is the difference between service and therapy animals?
Service animals are legally defined by the American's with Disabilities Act (1990) and are trained to meet the disability-related needs of their handlers. Federal laws protect the rights of individuals with disabilities to be accompanied by their service animals in public places. Federal law does not legally define therapy animals, but some states have laws defining therapy animals. They provide people with contact with animals, but are not limited to working with people who have disabilities. They are usually the personal pets of their handlers, and work with their handlers to provide services to others. Federal laws have no provisions for people to be accompanied by therapy animals in places of public accommodation that have "no pets" policies. Therapy animals usually are not service animals.
As a handler, you may be asked about your animal while out in public. This is a great opportunity to provide accurate information about the differences between these types of animals. It is important that, as a handler, you are careful not to misrepresent the role of your animal which could inadvertently impact those legitimately using service and emotional support animals in public.
How much does Canines for Christ of Southwest Ohio charge for visits? Members volunteer their time and do not charge for any pet therapy visit.
Can I get paid for visits?
No, Canines for Christ of Southwest Ohio is a volunteer organization. Members donate their time to bring happiness to others. Any expenses you incur providing therapy, including mileage, uniform, and extra expenses for grooming, may be tax deductible (this should be reviewed with a tax professional).
What is the required volunteer commitment?
We do not require volunteers to commit to any number of hours or visits per year. We recognize that every person’s availability is different. As a volunteer, you determine where you would like to visit and with what frequency. It is your responsibility to maintain a schedule that works for you and the facility where you volunteer.
Where should I take my dog for visits?
Consider the type of environment your dog would enjoy. For example, your dog may enjoy being in the presence of quiet, elderly people but may not like places with a lot of activity. They might prefer being with one person, but not like to be the center of attention in a group. Thinking about these things should help you decide the type of facilities you would like to visit with your dog.
How do I find a place to visit once we are certified?
Once you obtain your CGC, you may check our website to find facilities that are currently being visited by other Canines for Christ of Southwest Ohio. You can also network with other local teams or contact places of interest to you and inquire directly with them. If you would like a member of our organization to contact a facility on your behalf, please let us know.
What does it mean that Canines for Christ of Southwest Ohio is a 501(c)(3) organization? 501(c)(3) refers to the Internal Revenue Service's tax code that allows a corporation to operate as a nonprofit and accept contributions from the public without paying taxes. This designation also allows you to count your contribution as a tax deduction. | <urn:uuid:53916c45-cc82-451f-a064-d011e330a4f0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.caninesforchrist.org/resources/faqs | 2023-09-28T18:23:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.966649 | 1,181 |
I always love the creative and unique styled shoots that Melissa Arlena Photography & Anthomanic team up to do. I’ve feature a few before (like this dramatic red & purple fairy tale inspired shoot) and Anthomanic did the stunning florals for our Shel Silverstein Dreamer wedding shoot (if you recall) ~ so yeah, prepare to be INSPIRED.
From photographer, Melissa:
This styleshoot was inspired by post-war 1920’s glamour and opulence! The National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia was a perfect setting for such a theme with it’s many different eras depicted in the exhibits throughout the building. The space has a very masculine, utilitarian and industrial feel, yet comforts viewers with heartwarming stories of courage, trust and honor — an inspiring and very symbolic location for a wedding! Art deco being the design style of the 20s, it was our inspiration for the couple’s clothing as well as the table decor.

Katie started her freshman year at UW La Crosse and was not feeling well at the end of October. She went into the student health center on October 29th and they ran an assortment of blood and heart tests. These tests found that her white blood cell count was highly elevated. The staff at UWL expressed the concern that she may have Leukemia and recommended immediate hospitalization. Bonnie, Bryan and Quinn drove immediately to La Crosse to pick Katie up and bring her back to Froedtert in Milwaukee. While waiting for family, Katie was able to pack her belongings and inform her close friends that she would be leaving. Once at Froedtert it was conformed that she had some type of Leukemia and measures were taken to bring her white blood cell count down. She spent the night in ICU and was transferred the next day to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin (CHW) ICU. Treatment was started immediately as well as more tests to confirm the specific type of Leukemia. On November 1st, 2018 Katie was diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She started treatment and Katie was released home on Tuesday, November 6th. She is receiving chemo and many drugs to combat the Leukemia and will be visiting the CHW Oncology Clinic and MACC Fund Day Hospital weekly. | <urn:uuid:14d8f680-9f7a-4bfe-a913-3180e85a8f6c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.caringbridge.org/public/katiemanzeck | 2023-09-28T16:55:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.987884 | 288 |
Voter turnout in Texas has been a major issue for many years, and Fort Worth is no exception. Emily Farris, a political science professor at Texas Christian University, has conducted research on the local elections and concluded that the low voter turnout in Fort Worth is a systemic problem. She has proposed that the city consider changing when elections are held in an even-numbered year, when people are more likely to think about voting. To this end, Farris has created business cards with a code that people can scan to get all the information they need to vote. The 6th congressional district of Texas includes only 9% of Fort Worth, according to legislative data from Texas.
To alter when the City Council elections are held, Fort Worth would need to modify its statutes, which requires voter approval. The director of César Chávez's Local Committee has not had much political influence in his community, which represents 35 percent of the population of Fort Worth. He believes that the next round of redistricting could pave the way for this change, but the Fort Worth City Council chose not to allow an independent committee to redesign the city's districts. It is evident that public opinion on key voter turnout reforms in Fort Worth, Texas has shifted over time. The city has taken steps to make it easier for people to vote by creating business cards with a code that people can scan to get all the information they need.
Nevertheless, there is still much work to be done in order to increase voter turnout in Fort Worth. Redistricting could be a key factor in this process, but it will require the approval of voters and the cooperation of the City Council. | <urn:uuid:c4a5a92c-e057-4617-943b-5d1a05f03e0f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.carlosfloresdist2fortworth.com/how-has-public-opinion-on-key-voter-turnout-reforms-changed-over-time-in-fort-worth-texas | 2023-09-28T16:34:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.974515 | 331 |

A few months ago I shared the ups and downs of the experience when our family quit media cold turkey for 40 days. It was on the back of a trip to South Africa (visiting family) where the kids had experienced lots of media time, and I was nervous that it was going to be just really dang hard to let it go.
The experience of ripping media off like a nasty old bandaid turned out to be amazing. It brought us a heap of new perspective on life at the Collie house and helped us reach some fresh conclusions about how to handle media moving forward. We decided that the kids would only watch TV on the weekends, and other screen time (computer games at our house) during the week would be very, very limited.
Four months later, we’ve been happy with that decision, but two little things have still been challenging: 1) I struggle to regulate the amount of computer time my kids are getting and 2) I don’t feel like I’ve successfully regulated the specific content they’re allowed to take in. They know what websites they’re supposed to visit, but I also want them to be able to search for arthropods while we’re talking about the different groups of invertebrates in homeschool, and know they’re not going to end up somewhere they shouldn’t be.
And somehow that needs to happen without my hovering above the computer like Helicopter Mom all the time. Because?
I just can’t.
Good News, though.
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by a member of the awesome creative team behind Torch… and there’s a great possibility that my last remaining “Internet Problems” could soon be solved for me.
The creators of Torch recognized the significant problem most parents have with regulating the amount of time kids spend on the net, and the type of content they’re allowed to access while they’re online. The solution they’ve come up with is a very clever wifi router which allows parents to regulate those two things, and more.
Insert happy dance here, because I’m really excited about this!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked to write about something on this little old web space and I’ve said no because it just wasn’t something that lined up with my value system or something I felt would actually be useful to my readers. But I am seriously pumped to be able to tell you a little bit about Torch — and was absolutely excited to do so — because I know I’m struggling with this issue and I am not the only Mama facing it!
So when the Torch team contacted me to ask about sharing some of my parenting and media stories, I offered to write about their new product, because I really want the vision to become a reality. I asked a few key questions that I think we’d all like to know if we’re considering purchasing this kind of tech to help the Parenthood regain control of our kids’ online lives, and here are the main things I discovered:
- Torch will allow parents to regulate which sites your child is able to view, and to block sites they are not allowed to view.
- It’s possible to create multiple accounts, so that the seven-year-old’s content is different from the two-year-old’s. Which totally makes sense because National Geographic is scary to the Belle, but it’s awesomeness personified to the Bear.
- You can give the internet a “bedtime” or create certain windows of time where the net is “off” and kids need to go out and play or do something else. (You can also tailor this based on each kid’s restrictions and privileges.)
And this might be my favorite:
- Torch allows you to see what sites your kids are viewing in a live feed. Parents are able to see how much data is being used at different sites by each kid, and the sites are categorized so that you can tell whether the time is being spent mostly on social media, education, gaming, and so on. Kids will also be able to look at their own stats and see where they’ve spent their time and when their time is up.
Torch is launching a big Kickstarter campaign today to spread the word about their awesome new tech, and garner the support of believers (like me) who are willing to invest in the dream and help make it a reality. They’re offering special rewards based on different levels of support, and hoping that Torch will begin shipping to the doors of many-a-happy-customer around March next year.
So, I’d love for you to click over to check out their Kickstarter campaign, and seriously, help make the dream a reality! I need it and if you have any humans under the age of 18 in your house, you probably do, too! Torch’s website can tell you lots more about this wonderful innovation!
I’d also love for you to leave a comment to let us know — what’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced, regulating media consumption at your house? Or, if you’ve already got this gig altogether, would you leave some advice for the rest of us?
Happy Internetting, Friends!
The folks at Torch graciously agreed to sponsor this post. But the thoughts and opinions expressed here are absolutely mine.

Anyone can play poker with their friends. However, if you don’t have the tools or the know-how, then the task may prove impossible to achieve.
Playing poker with your friends is easy, especially when you are doing it online. So, all you have to do is take a few minutes of your time to set up the game. In fact, a well-organized game can bring you and your friends a lot of fun.
Moreover, playing poker virtually with your friends may present you with a lot of options that may be difficult to set up in the real world. So, we thought we should ask our experts to give us tips on how to play poker with friends online.
We’ll go through a couple of platforms that make virtual poker with friends possible. Plus, we’ll show you alternatives to play poker online with your best buds.
Play Poker with Friends: Top Tips
There are a few steps that you would need to follow to start playing poker with your friends. So, make sure you follow our step-by-step guide carefully to get the best poker experience while playing with your mates.
1. Select the Platform and Type of Game
The first thing that you need to do is to choose the right platform for you. Two major websites offer a platform for playing poker with your friends. Namely 888poker and PokerStars. Both these poker site rooms offer amazing options for home games with friends. So, the one you choose will depend on what you and your friends prefer.
Then you have to choose the type of poker game you’re going to play. For example, you can decide to play highly competitive poker tournaments where players get eliminated. On the other hand, you and your friends can decide to play cash where you won’t ever get eliminated. However, experienced poker players don’t take cash games seriously because they lack competition.
2. Set Up Your Virtual Poker Game with Friends
After you have decided what game you’re playing, then invite your friends to join the game.
PokerStars is one of the best platforms to use for this game because you can set up the account for free without depositing funds. So, once you have set up an account, you can then create a poker club for you and your friends. Make sure you follow the steps to see how to invite your friends on the platform.
888poker, on the other hand, has a slightly different method for you to play poker with your friends. The first thing that you need to do is create accounts for you and your friends. Similar to PokerStars, you can create an account for free. The site is very user-friendly, so you will find that setting up is easy.
Alternative ways to Play Poker with Friends
There are many apps that you can download onto your smartphones that will enable you to play against each other. Especially if you are not playing for real money but to have fun.
You can even enhance your poker games by setting up a Skype or Zoom call with your friends. In that way, you can see when they are bluffing and when they are not.

American Atheists, based in Austin, Texas, organized “Pope Picket ’93” in order to defend “freedom of choice for women … rights of gay men and women … freedom of expression … separation of government and religion.”
Their slick brochure informs its readers that “The pope of Rome has no business trying to dictate politics, finance and life-style behavior to the American people.” It goes on to say that “Catholic brainwashing has corrupted young people through religious indoctrination, sexual repression, ritualized absurdities, and foolish beliefs.”
The mailing included an offering of assorted anti-Catholic books including a few gems of the genre. You can phone or fax your order and they accept Mastercard and VISA!

Small northwestern Ontario town considers if it's willing to house nuclear waste from across Canada
Decision on whether Ignace will have nuclear waste repository will come in the next year
A small town in northwestern Ontario is facing a big question: How to determine whether people in the community want to host a site that would store nearly 5.5 million spent nuclear fuel bundles from across Canada.
The issue's been ongoing for years in Ignace, with a population of about 1,300, located 250 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay.
But now, it's one of two communities left in the search by Canada's Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) to find a host community for its proposed deep geological repository.
Canada's nuclear electricity producers created the non-profit in 2002. It's responsible for coming up with a long-term management plan for Canada's used nuclear fuel.
The fuel bundles are about the size of a fire log, and each bundle holds about 20 kilograms of uranium. The final two sites for the proposed storage facility are in Ignace and South Bruce, about 100 kilometres from Kitchener.
A spokesperson for the NWMO said that unless the community is willing to host the site, the project won't go ahead. Organization officials have repeatedly said they welcome public discourse and debate, while promising a safe solution in line with international best practices.
Right now, a consultant is in the process of determining what criteria need to be met to prove the community does, in fact, support the project.
The entire process to gauge whether Ignace could be the site of the facility started a decade ago.
Within the last few years, drilling has taken place at six sites surrounding the community, some of which are halfway between Dryden, the closest major centre, about 100 kilometres away, and Ignace.
For many, the saga has dragged on, but it is nearing the finish line. A final decision is expected in about a year.
In the meantime, CBC News visited Ignace and nearby Dryden to talk to residents about the project and what they're looking to see from officials going forward.
An 'informed and willing host'?
"Ignace is the community that said, 'We want to be involved, we want to be an informed and willing host,'" said Brad Greaves, chair of the Ignace Community Nuclear Liaison Committee.
"But the actual engagement outside of our community is the [nuclear waste management organization's] responsibility."
The community liaison committee was established by the Township of Ignace as a go-between for townspeople and the local government. It's made up of people who live in the community and has representatives from nearby Wabigoon and Dryden.
Greaves said his committee will determine if the community is willing to have the town affiliated with the nuclear waste site.
He said the site is an opportunity for a community with little industry and a shrinking population.
"Anything, whether it be a mine or forestry, when industry comes to a town, a real spark of life come back," he said. "Socioeconomics is a big part of this project too. It's not just the fact that there's going to be nuclear fuel put underground for long-term storage. And, it's not just Ignace — it'll be the whole area."
But Greaves's opinion on the project is far from the consensus needed. The decision to bury nuclear waste is contentious, and he said it is probably the biggest decision ever made by the township.
William Marsh has lived in Ignace off and on for a number of years, and feels moving the waste to a small town in northwestern Ontario would be an out-of-sight, out-of-mind decision for the nuclear waste organization.
"Why should they have to put it here?" he asked. "Because we're in the middle of nowhere? Right?"
Why should they have to put it here? Because we're in the middle of nowhere? Right?- William Marsh, Ignace, Ont., resident
He said he doesn't trust the information coming from the NWMO and does not support the project.
"Just because they say it's not going to leak, doesn't mean it's not going to leak."
Marsh, like others who have worries about the project, is concerned about a potential leak or spill and what could happen to ground and surface water, despite assurances the proposal is safe.
"We believe in this project. We believe in the safety of this project, and that's why we're here," said Alexander Blyth, a section manager with the NWMO.
"We need to show and demonstrate the quality of this rock and our understanding of the area to demonstrate to the community and to our regulators, because the site will have to go to an impact assessment, and we'll have to prove how good this site is."
Blyth, a hydro geologist, said he's heard the concerns people have about their fears of groundwater contamination.
"From a technical standpoint, ultimately, the water issue is a really important one, and it ties into the safety assessments that are done, it ties into the engineering work that is going to be done underground, so it is all about the water."
The debate has spread from Ignace to Dryden, about 100 kilometres away.
People in Dryden, which has nearly 8,000 residents, are concerned about the proposed site too, and want a greater say on the matter.
"We have a river here in town, the Wabigoon that's been rendered basically a dead river by industrial waste already, so it surprises me that people aren't taking the example of that and extrapolating," said Brad Pareis, who lives in Dryden.
Pareis said he's only learned in the last few months how close the proposed site is to his home community.
"We're told by our council that this isn't our [Dryden's] decision to make, and that seems a little ironic," he said. "We are a neighbouring community, we have about eight times the population of Ignace, so I think it should be partially our decision. It should be a provincial decision, because it's going on Crown land."
Pareis said he is uncomfortable with the way the NWMO is able to easily distribute its information without challenge. He said his children were taken on a field trip a couple of years ago to one of the borehole sites and were given information by the NWMO, but not opposing environmental groups.
"Politically speaking, it really is a hot topic. Nobody really wants this in their backyard."
Mark Zimmerman, who owns a camp about 15 kilometres north of the proposed repository site, said he's heard nothing from the nuclear waste organization regarding the proposal. He said he wasn't even told when the organization was drilling a test hole about five kilometres from his doorstep.
"Why are we even thinking of bringing this nuclear waste up here? It's got nothing to do with northwestern Ontario. Keep it down there where it belongs."
Back in Ignace, Sheila Krahn, who has lived in the community for more than 30 years, said she's totally opposed to the concept.
"Ignace should ask, 'What are they going to get?' I don't see anything coming to Ignace from this," Krahn said. Her concerns are environmental and worries about what will happen to water in the area if there is a spill or accident.
Ignace should ask, "What are they going to get?" I don't see anything coming to Ignace from this- Sheila Krahn, Ignace resident
The opinion in the community is mixed, she said, with some for, some against, and some indifferent to the project.
Just down the street from Krahn, Naomi Peters sees the site as an economic boom, and it's an opportunity too good to pass up.
"It's the economic stability that this project will add to this area that's been economically depressed for years. It's important for Ignace not to be a one-horse town," Peters said.
Still, she too has worries about the project, and wants the township to hire an independent nuclear expert to ensure all questions regarding safety can be answered.
"The foundation of the project is informed consent," Peters said. "That word informed is important. It means that the vocal minority needs to sit down and take nuclear 101. They need to go through all of the training, all of that, and understand what, how and where this whole project entails."
Janet Griffiths, who has lived in Ignace for decades, is more indifferent to the idea of burying nuclear fuel. She remembers the so-called "good times" in the community, when a nearby gold mine employed hundreds and the township was booming.
"It needs to be moved from the shores of Lake Ontario, and needs to be put into an area that is bedrock and is secure. We have that here," Griffiths said.
If the plan proceeds in Ignace, "It's not going to happen in my lifetime," she figures, as it would take a decade for all the licensing and environmental approvals to the completed, plus another decade for construction of the repository itself.
"But the actual movement of that stuff, I'm going to be long gone," Griffiths said. | <urn:uuid:dc2e77c5-705c-427f-b52a-70a7b10f7b6b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/ignace-nuclear-decision-1.6284967 | 2023-09-28T18:21:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.974132 | 1,922 |

FinalForms is a web-based system used to track medical history, contact information and release forms for all CB students. A feature allows up to two parents/guardians to have equal access to the same account and receive all the same alerts and messages.
The deadline for new and returning students to complete FinalForms registration is August 1, 2023 for the 2022-2023 school year. Students participating in CIF athletic practices and summer activities will have earlier deadlines as determined by their coach or program director.
As parents, you will be able to enter all information online as well as download the doctor physical forms if your child will participate in sports. Information can be updated throughout the year as it changes. This system benefits Christian Brothers High School in many ways, including the improvement of privacy for our families. Administrators, coaches and trainers use a smartphone, so in the event of an athletic injury, you will automatically be notified via phone, email and text message simultaneously. During the school day, normal contact procedures will be followed.
Registering in FinalForms (All Students)
All families must register in FinalForms. Families may enroll multiple students under the same account. FinalForms saves data from season-to-season and year-to-year, meaning that you will never need to enter the same information twice! FinalForms also pre-populates information wherever possible for each of your students, saving you time.
Note: You will receive an email from FinalForms prompting you to confirm and complete your registration. If you do not receive an email, check your spam folder. If you still do not see the FinalForms email, please email firstname.lastname@example.org.
Athletic Clearance Package (Student-Athletes)
If your son or daughter plans to join an athletic team or multiple teams at Christian Brothers, the parent must add the sport(s) in the student’s FinalForms account and complete all athletic participation and consent forms. All new and returning students who wish to participate in athletics, in addition to completing the registration, must have a valid doctor’s physical form on file. A blank doctor’s physical form can be downloaded from FinalForms at the conclusion of the registration. A completed doctor’s physical form must be submitted to the coach or Athletic Department Office before the starting date of tryouts and practices of all sports. According to California Interscholastic Federation rules, the student must have this physical prior to trying out, practicing for or participating in interscholastic competition. Physicals are valid for one school year per CIF rules. It is the responsibility of the student-athlete to schedule the physical prior to the first day of tryouts or conditioning. It is strongly recommended that parents keep a copy of the completed form for their records.
Note: For returning students, all valid doctors’ physical forms currently on file in the Appryse system will be rolled over to the FinalForms system.
If your student needs a doctor’s physical:
- Make an appointment with your physician to have a physical evaluation exam.
- Complete the FinalForms registration and print out the Doctor’s Physical Form.
- Take the Doctor’s Physical Form with you to your doctor’s appointment. Once completed by your physician, you must submit the form to the coach or Athletic Department Office. Note: This is the only form recognized by Christian Brothers High School. | <urn:uuid:ac831d6b-854b-4523-b7a8-9732dbdee42d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cbhs-sacramento.org/finalforms/ | 2023-09-28T18:41:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.928779 | 715 |

It was almost exactly two years ago, as the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic had knocked us for a loop, that the first ray of hope shone. There we all were looking for hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes--anything that might help in the smallest way to battle a virus we still knew little about. More often than not, we found empty store shelves wherever we went. Then, and I remember this vividly, the WJZ newsroom heard about a small distillery in Frederick that was stepping up to help.
Enter McClintock Distilling.
A little background: I had heard of McClintock about a year before that. Situated in the historic district of Frederick, this distillery was earning a reputation for making some great spirits. The "foodie" scene took notice and word quickly spread about the distillery's whiskeys, gins and vodkas. It was only a matter of time before awards began piling up for McClintock Distilling. Owner Braden Bumpers, company manager Zac Kennedy and distiller Seth Joy were on quite a roll at the time.
When COVID-19 hit, it didn't take the trio long to realize their knack for making alcohol could make a meaningful difference. So they put their heads together and figured out that a quick pivot could help get hand sanitizer into the hands of the public--and fast. After conferring with state regulators, McClintock soon got the green light to pitch in on the pandemic response with their homemade hand sanitizer.
Over the next several months, the distillery made over 50,000 gallons of sanitizer and donated it. Talk about a great way to pay it forward.
Listen to my interview with these gentlemen. They donated this much-needed product because it was the right thing to do. And on Thursday, about two years later, we simply wanted to pay those guys a visit and extend a very public thank you for their ingenuity and generosity. But, true to form, they were quick to point out that the distillery community as a tightknit group, and everyone was jumping in to help combat COVID-19.
Feel free to check out McClintock's website. There you'll find some of Maryland's best spirits. As always, please drink responsibly.
Until next time,

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Threatening letters addressed to Mayor Michael Bloomberg in both New York and Washington, D.C. have been found preliminarily to contain ricin, police said Wednesday.
The anonymous threats to Bloomberg were opened in New York City on Friday, and by the director of the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns – of which Bloomberg is co-chairman – on Sunday.
The writer of the letters made reference to debate on gun laws. Mayor Bloomberg is a strong supporter of gun control.
"No, I'm not angry," Bloomberg told CBS 2's Hazel Sanchez Wednesday night at an event in the city. "There are people who I would argue do things that may be irrational, do things that are wrong. But it's a very complex world out there and we just have to deal with that."
2 Letters Addressed To Mayor Bloomberg Found To Contain Ricin
The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and the NYPD Intelligence Division have launched an investigation. CBS News reported both letters had a Shreveport, Louisiana, return address, reported CBS 2's Tony Aiello.
Law enforcement sources paraphrased the letters' message as saying, "This is a taste of what's to come if you come to take my gun."
"In terms of why they've done it, I don't know. The letter was obviously referred to our anti-gun efforts but there's 12,000 people who are going to get killed this year with guns and 19,000 are going to commit suicide with guns and we're not gonna walk away from those efforts," Bloomberg said.
The feds and NYPD said they plan to keep the details of the investigation close to the vest.
"The FBI has an investigation ongoing and so things like the exact wording and the postmarks, etc., we're not going to disclose," NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne told WCBS 880 and 1010 WINS. "It was a pink-orange oily substance that subsequently, in the preliminary tests, indicate the presence of ricin."
Civilian personnel in New York and in Washington who came into contact with the opened letters have not suffered symptoms, but three NYPD Emergency Service Unit officers who came into contact with the letter at the city mail facility on Gold Street in Manhattan have been treated for minor symptoms of ricin exposure that have since abated, police said.
"They're in the hospital now being checked out as a precaution but it's not life-threatening, what they experienced," Browne said.
Law enforcement is currently searching to see if the sender sent any additional letters, CBS News reported.
Last month, ricin-tainted letters addressed to President Barack Obama, as well as U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) and an 80-year-old Mississippi judge, were intercepted. Former Mississippi State House candidate and child sexual abuse investigation subject J. Everett Dutschke, 41, has been arrested in connection with that case.
Derived from the castor oil plant, ricin is a highly toxic protein that can kill a full-grown adult in a dose the size of just a few grains of salt.

By an Anonymous Sexual Assault Survivor in Roaring Fork Valley, Colorado
On Saturday, May 21, 2011, I was sexually assaulted. Being left with medical bills that were beyond my capability to pay was devastating. Not only was I emotionally distraught, dealing with guilt and shame, but the financial burden only compounded the hurt. I struggled to find a way to pay these bills for over a year. It made me question why had I even gone to the hospital that morning.
“The next memory I have is hearing a man’s voice. He said, “How are you feeling?” I was half-asleep and remember mumbling something like “Fine.” Then the man said, “I have to go now.” I did not see who this man was at the time, all I heard was a voice. When I did finally wake up a few minutes later, I was in a state of shock. I had no memory of what happened to me and how I got from dancing in the bar, one flight of stairs below, to this apartment. Where was I? Whose apartment was I in? My shirt and bra were still on me, but my pants and underwear were on the floor. This made me scared. “What happened to me?”
“I got out of bed and quickly put on my underwear and pants. I looked on the bed and saw a pool of blood on the comforter near the top of the bed, close to the pillows. There was also a few blood stains on my shirt. At this time, I was so scared and shocked and confused. I walked out into the kitchen to try to see a picture or figure out where I was. I saw a picture on the kitchen counter of a man that I recognized from town. I found the door that led outside and walked out. I looked up and realized I was right outside of a bar in town. I was shocked and scared. How did I end up there? I still had no memory at all of how I ended up at the apartment or what happened inside the apartment.”
I was a victim of being drugged with BDP (sedatives) and sexually assaulted. I needed help, and I needed resources. I sought financial assistance from Colorado’s Crime Victim Compensation Program to help cover the expenses associated with this assault
Colorado’s Crime Victim Compensation Program was created by state statute (C.R.S. §24-4.1-101) in 1981. Colorado has a decentralized system, which means that crime victim compensation programs exist in each of the state’s 22 judicial districts. The judicial district where the crime occurred is responsible for accepting and reviewing victim compensation applications. The crime must be one in which the victim sustains mental or bodily injury, dies, or suffers property damage to locks, windows or doors to residential property as a result of a compensable crime. The victim must cooperate with law enforcement officials. The police must be notified within 72 hours after the crime occurred. The injury or death of the victim was not the result of the victim’s own wrongdoing or substantial provocation. The application for compensation must be submitted within one year from the date of the crime; six months for property damage claims.
I complied with every single one of these requirements. I was shocked to learn that my local victim compensation board denied my claim as they concluded that there was not enough evidence to prove that a crime had been committed. Not only was this financially stressful to be denied reimbursement, but it was humiliating. Why did they not believe what I said? Why would I make this up? I applied through the appropriate procedure, documented my case, had witness accounts, but still was just sent a letter saying “denied.”
Medical expenses from a sexual assault are vast. In addition to two separate hospital bills which included going to the hospital the morning after the assault and then being directed by police to an additional hospital for a forensic exam, I paid my own fee to have my lab results tested by a private lab to determine if I had been drugged. After the trauma, I also needed to talk to a professional counselor and deal with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety. This has cost thousands of dollars.
I urge the Colorado Legislature to ensure that all medical expenses that a sexual assault survivor incurs as a result of going to the hospital for a forensic exam are covered. In addition, expenses for therapy, lab tests, and any additional necessary medical treatment should be included as well. This is essential and necessary to help victims of sexual assault deal with the trauma and end the suffering.

A fair and robust performance management and discipline system is essential for ensuring the ongoing integrity of the Queensland Police Service, and for ensuring public confidence in the work of police. Reform of the discipline system has been a focus of the CCC for the past few years.
In October 2017 a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a new police discipline system was signed by the CCC, the QPS, the Queensland Police Union and the Queensland Police Commissioned Officers Union of Employees, as well as by representatives of the Queensland Government and the State Opposition.
The MOU, along with other reforms pursued over the last few years, strengthens the police disciplinary system by having a system that is timely, consistent and fair but remains subject to oversight by the CCC.
The key features of the new discipline framework include improved timeliness and consistency for disciplinary matters for QPS officers and complainants, and a remedial focus for disciplinary matters, with an emphasis on identifying and correcting inappropriate conduct early. The system aims to ensure that disciplinary investigations will be shorter and more targeted.
Key processes involved in the new system include:
- the Joint Assessment of complaints and Moderation Committee (JAMC)
- the Investigative Consultation Process (ICP)
- the Abbreviated Discipline Process (ADP).
Joint Assessment of complaints and Moderation Committee
The Joint Assessment and Moderation Committee (JAMC) reviews how serious complaints are triaged and monitored, and aims to improve the timeliness and consistency in approach when the QPS investigates complaints against its own officers. The Committee includes representatives from the CCC and the QPS Ethical Standards Command (ESC).
The JAMC evaluates how each complaint is initially assessed and then agrees to a plan of action. This process gives both the CCC and the QPS an assurance that complaints are being appropriately assessed and clearly establishes the responsibilities of each agency.
- Assesses allegations against QPS employees in order to identify the appropriate process for dealing with each matter
- Draws on CCC allegations data and research to evaluate levels of risk. The analysis of allegations data assists the JAMC to assess whether an officer’s complaints history is significant compared to that of their peers.
The CCC continues to conduct research to better understand the importance of an officer’s allegations history in assessing matters at the JAMC.
Investigative Consultation Process (ICP)
The Investigative Consultation Process (ICP) is the second tier of the JAMC process.
As part of the ICP, the progress of matters and the CCC’s expectations regarding investigations and/or criminal, disciplinary and managerial processes are tabled. In addition, the QPS can raise issues that are contentious or that impact on their resources so that an effective resolution may be achieved.
The ICP does not meet on every matter, only meeting when there is a stakeholder necessity or public interest in gaining a joint commitment to processes that will meet stakeholder expectations.
The Abbreviated Discipline Process (ADP)
Under the Abbreviated Discipline Process (ADP) the ESC will first consult with the CCC about the proposed disciplinary sanction or management action to be offered to a subject officer. It is anticipated that this will significantly reduce the need for the review of outcomes by the CCC, and will ensure uniformity of sanctions offered under an ADP. | <urn:uuid:b6a0ebe9-7b84-4129-afa0-03596700e2d7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ccc.qld.gov.au/corruption/police-oversight/police-discipline-system | 2023-09-28T17:30:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.941068 | 707 |
Paypal is the first big name in the FinTech world to announce the launch of its own token, PYUSD, a stablecoin that pegs its value against the USD. the technology promises to encourage users to invest and trade using a digital currency, improving efficiency and financial security for users.
However, since the collapse of multiple crypto companies such as FTX, Celsius, and Terraform Labs, US politicians have been wary of allowing such companies to gather customer funds without strict government regulations.
On Wednesday, Democrat Congresswoman Maxine Waters expressed her sincere concerns regarding the emergence of PYUSD as it’s likely to gain popularity swiftly while the crypto space continues to operate without clear regulatory guidelines.
“Given PayPal’s size and reach, Federal oversight and enforcement of its stablecoin operations is essential in order to guarantee consumer protections and alleviate financial stability concerns,” said Congresswoman Waters in a statement.
“Without legislation on the books that establish clear and strong consumer protections at the Federal level, consumers are at greater risk of harm at the hands of bad actors.”
“Stablecoins represent the issuance of a new form of money, making it integral that there are Federal guardrails.”
Paypal is not the first tech company to develop its own crypto token. Companies such as Meta, the developer of popular social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, also developed its own token, META.O .
However, considering its popularity in the money transfer market, Paypal is likely to gain investors and users faster than most tech companies entering the space.
CCN reached out to Paypal for commentary but did not receive a reply at the time of publishing.
Two days prior, the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Patrick McHenry, issued a statement following the launch of PYUSD and after the House Financial Services Committee passed the bipartisan Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act.
“This announcement is a clear signal that stablecoins-if issued under a clear regulatory framework-hold, promise as a pillar of our 21st-century payments system,” reported McHenry. He also added that “Clear regulations and robust consumer protections are essential to enabling stablecoins to achieve their full potential. “
“We are currently at a crossroads to keep America at the forefront of digital asset innovation. Congress is making significant, bipartisan progress on legislation to ensure the U.S. leads the financial system of the future. We must finish the job.”
“Look, we don’t need more digital currency,” exclaimed Gensler. “We already have digital currency. It’s called the U.S. dollar. It’s called the euro or it’s called the yen; they’re all digital right now,” said Gensler in an interview.
It’s widely known among both governmental and private stakeholders in the crypto space that the SEC, currently led by Gensler, is opposed to the development of any digital currency that is not Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, or Litecoin. | <urn:uuid:8ab2d484-cd4e-4598-9ffb-a6df2047b7fd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ccn.com/news/congress-divided-over-paypal-pyusd-stablecoin/ | 2023-09-28T17:42:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.935668 | 651 |

I love Dim Sum. I always go to dim sum in Hong Kong with my husband. There are many dim sum styles and tastes good.
In England, Chinese food is more expensive, a few cups of dim sum for tea costs a few hundred Hong Kong dollars, so I don’t go there every day.
When we go to the city center, we will go to Chinatown to buy dim sum. There is a Lo’s Noodle Factory, which is located in the back alley of Chinatown. It started in 1978, mainly supplying fresh rice noodles and rice noodles, but also providing all kinds of buns and cakes.
I tried to buy a glutinous rice roll. At first I heard that a glutinous rice roll costs HK$60 and I thought it was a bit expensive. But after I bought it, I found that it is really a big roll of glutinous rice buns. It thicker than my front arm! Enormous！I can cut it up to 8-10 of pieces! I was surprised. We usually brought rice noodles, rice rolls, bbq pork buns, marinated rice buns and glutinous rice rolls, and buy a big box of “Chao Kwan pork barbecue” from the Chinese superstore. Then we go back to the home to divide it into a platter of dim sum and store it in the fridge.
The next morning, we steamed a portion of dim sum and it was our dim sum breakfast. Although I can’t eat dim sum in a restaurant in Hong Kong, I’m already satisfied with this kind of dim sum breakfast! | <urn:uuid:be79bd3c-8631-4a37-bf24-8e7c2ca1af56> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cecidesign.com/wordpress/learning/betterlife/%E3%80%90%E8%8B%B1%E5%9C%8B%E7%94%9F%E6%B4%BB%E3%80%91%E6%88%91%E6%84%9B%E9%BB%9E%E5%BF%83/ | 2023-09-28T18:37:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.871017 | 1,295 |
talk area one of the most significant service providers of online therapy….Visual Therapist Near Me…. and in this video i’m going to be discussing why i chose talkspace and why i felt like therapy was a good option talking a little bit about the price and the options offered i’ll speak about what those first interactions appear like and and how you get matched to the best therapist and i’ll likewise talk about my experience of the very first week of online treatment if you want
to avoid to any of those bits if you search in the description listed below you’ll see time stamps that will take you to those particular locations you’ll also see a link to talk area currently they’re offering about 100 pounds or 100 off your first month which is significant and i’ll talk about prices shortly so if you have actually watched any of the other videos you’ll know that my philosophy my method really is that taking antidepressants without access to therapy is a bit like buying some actually nice running shoes and then never ever heading out running the antidepressants can make you feel great for a bit and really can solve a lot of the problems however if you want to get to the root cause of the issue really you need a qualified therapist and you even need to be sat in a space with them or as is the case now with things like talk space and much better help being able to communicate
in a virtual environment with one so i have actually had face-to-face treatment and it’s been actually helpful a range of counselling sessions cbt sessions and each time i discovered it really actually valuable as this video has actually been recorded it’s prior to christmas and you can see the little little led tree behind me which could be rather a bumpy ride anxieties tend to be enhanced at this time of year you understand monetary concerns relationship concerns social anxieties all of these things can be like boosted during the december holiday period it’s really difficult to get face-to-face treatment at the moment because of covid but i actually think that now i have actually tried online treatment this this just works it doesn’t matter if you’re on lockdown or you’re seeing this video in two years time in fact the benefits
of virtual treatment and virtual counselling to me seem quite right away clear and i’ll come to those in a minute i picked talkspace instead of betterhelp simply since when i was examining the site i liked the functions i felt assured by the deal the price for talkspace was better than better assistance and i also like the alternatives the talks based off of me you basically get to select whether you want to participate in chat only therapy whether you want chat plus one video call a month or chat plus i think 4 or 5 video objectives a month undoubtedly that ranges in cost before we go anywhere appears like a lot but if you’ve.
It prevails to experience anxiety in life. It is a natural action to stress, pressure, or when you feel threatened. It might also signal something more significant such as generalized anxiety condition depending on the level of anxiety and how often it happens. Feeling distressed prevails when waiting on test results, driving through rush-hour traffic, or dealing with problems at work. Anxiety could affect day-to-day living when symptoms are not addressed. Nevertheless, given that stress and anxiety signs affect people in a different way, it is very important to discover how to acknowledge them and when they might need professional aid.

RETOOL THE FUTURE
Too few own the wealth of nations.
Too many own nothing.
But, with the right kind of credit, and the right source of money,
we can lift up the poor, without pulling down the rich.
We can grow the economy, while healing the planet.
Each can own, and not be owned.
The banks hold the key.

If you are someone who believes that defective and unjust systems are diminishing the freedom, well-being and personal sovereignty of most people in America and throughout the world . . .
If you seek peaceful solutions and a just alternative to the power- and ownership-concentrating systems of monopolistic capitalism and redistributive socialism; and . . .
If you want to work with others to redesign and rebuild “the system” to serve the good of not merely the few or the majority, but of every human being . . .
Then CESJ needs you!
We invite you to explore CESJ.org and our ideas. We hope that what you find here will inspire you to learn more, share with others, and become an active member organizing with others to put good ideas into action.
Let’s Get Started
There is a vast sea of material on this website. To help you get launched, here are a few suggestions:
1) Watch these three short videos (then check out the other selected videos in CESJ’s video gallery):
- The CESJ Slideshow on the home page (40 seconds) — this is what CESJ is all about.
- “People and Things” (1:47 minutes) — explains why it’s important for each of us to own personal shares of income-producing capital, and how we can buy capital assets “if money we lack.”
- “A Brief Introduction to the Just Third Way” (2 minutes) — a quick look at a new paradigm.
2) Read CESJ’s Core Values. If they make sense to you, then you already understand much of the philosophy and principles of what we call the “Just Third Way.” CESJ’s Code of Ethics reminds each of us as members how we should treat each other in working together for social and economic justice.
3) Read the basic explanations of our “Just Third Way” ideas, and share them with your friends.
On the socio-economic paradigm (a way of looking at the world) we call “The Just Third Way”:
On the justice-based, free market-oriented economic theory known as “binary economics”:
On our “every citizen an owner” national economic reform agenda known as “Capital Homesteading”:
5) If you’re ready to dive into deeper waters, read the core literature of the Just Third Way, binary economics and Capital Homesteading for Every Citizen.

Financial services providers, marketplace lenders and secondary market purchasers doing business in the state of New York can breathe at least a temporary sigh of relief this week. Controversial changes proposed to the state’s Licensed Lender Law included in a pair of companion budget bills were dropped when these bills were amended on Monday. Assembly Bill 3008 and Senate Bill 2008, as introduced in the legislature on January 23, 2017 would have expanded the scope of consumer and commercial loans, and types of business activities, subject to licensing by the New York Department of Financial Services (the “Department”) under the Licensed Lender Law. If enacted into law, these proposed amendments would have triggered new licensing obligations for companies doing business in the state, potentially reaching marketplace lenders, other Fintech companies and secondary market purchasers.
The Licensed Lender Law licenses certain consumer finance activities, and is one of the few state statutes that licenses commercial or business finance activities. The law’s reach is limited, however, as it imposes a licensing obligation only to make (i) consumer loans of $25,000 or less, or (ii) commercial or business loans of $50,000 or less to an individual or sole proprietorship, each with an interest rate in excess of New York’s civil usury limit, which is 16%.
The Licensed Lender Law does not provide any statutory exemptions from the licensing obligations, including for any banks, and the legislation did not provide for any exemptions. National banks can rely on their federal preemption authority, and with the interest rate trigger intact, foreign state-chartered banks can rely on their interest rate exportation authority to remain beyond the reach of the Licensed Lender Law.
As originally introduced, Assembly Bill 3008 and Senate Bill 2008 would have made three key changes to the applicability of the Licensed Lender Law, by:
- eliminating the interest rate component of the licensing trigger, such that loans within the regulated dollar amounts would be subject to licensing regardless of the interest rate charged;
- expanding the commercial lender licensing requirements to cover loans of $50,000 or less made to corporations, limited liability companies and other legal entities, instead of just to individuals and sole proprietorships; and
- expanding the business activities subject to licensing from only lending, to reach a person that “purchases or otherwise acquires from others loans or other forms of financing, or arranges or facilitates the funding of loans” to New York residents.
These proposed amendments had the potential to significantly increase the universe of companies requiring a license to operate in New York.
These proposed amendments were an attempt by the Department to regulate bank partner arrangements and marketplace lenders. The changes were likely a direct response to the OCC’s special purpose national bank charter that would bestow preemption authority on Fintech companies and, thereby, provide them with relief from state licensing obligations, usury limits, and certain other state consumer protection provisions. This legislation is also an example of a broader attempt by states generally to regulate Fintech activities and the bank partner model. While the legislation would not have prohibited parties from using the bank partner model, it would have undermined this model as it would subject the participants to licensing, and the supervision and examination that flows from any licensing regime. As New York’s license approval process is the most time-consuming of any state, the legislation would have seen companies scrambling to submit an application in the hopes of obtaining approval before the changes took effect.
While the latest versions of these bills do not include the proposed changes described above, these measures are still working their way through the legislative process and may be amended again at any time.
