Our goal in sampling is to determine the value of a statistic for an entire population of interest, using just a small subset of the population. We do this primarily to save time and effort – why go to the trouble of measuring every individual in the population when just a small sample is sufficient to accurately estimate the variable of interest?
In the election example, the population is all registered voters, and the sample is the set of 1000 individuals selected by the polling organization. The way in which we select the sample is critical to ensuring that the sample is representative of the entire population, which is a main goal of statistical sampling. It’s easy to imagine a non-representative sample; if a pollster only called individuals whose names they had received from the local Democratic party, then it would be unlikely that the results of the poll would be representative of the population as a whole. In general, we would define a representative poll as being one in which every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected. When this fails, then we have to worry about whether the statistic that we compute on the sample is biased - that is, whether its value is systematically different from the population value (which we refer to as a parameter). Keep in mind that we generally don’t know this population parameter, because if we did then we wouldn’t need to sample! But we will use examples where we have access to the entire population, in order to explain some of the key ideas.
It’s important to also distinguish between two different ways of sampling: with replacement versus without replacement. In sampling with replacement, after a member of the population has been sampled, they are put back into the pool so that they can potentially be sampled again. In sampling without replacement, once a member has been sampled they are not eligible to be sampled again. It’s most common to use sampling without replacement, but there will be some contexts in which we will use sampling with replacement, as when we discuss a technique called bootstrapping in Chapter 14. | <urn:uuid:7031a056-5e58-4901-9f70-70b7e9fcd46f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://stats.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Introductory_Statistics/Statistical_Thinking_for_the_21st_Century_(Poldrack)/12%3A_Sampling/12.01%3A_How_Do_We_Sample%3F | 2023-09-27T11:48:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.965788 | 415 |

Labor economists find reassuring signs in the current state of the U.S. job market, offering hope to both jobseekers and policymakers.
It's uncertain the extent and how fast the market will cool, but there are six essential things workers and jobseekers should know right now.
Job growth is undeniably slowing down. For instance, in August, the three-month average showed an addition of 150,000 jobs, compared to 201,000 in June.
There is an appearance of rising unemployment, but this is due to more individuals entering the labor force and actively seeking employment.
The "great resignation" trend that saw a historically high rate of workers quitting their jobs is now over. Numbers have fallen back to pre-pandemic levels.
Labor market conditions have largely returned to normal, following the pandemic.
The good news for workers is that "real" wages, net earnings after living costs, are now rising after a period of decline.
While opportunities exist, competition is increasing, making it essential to apply quickly and frequently.
This new dynamic job market is exciting, but it's important to prepare for increased competition. | <urn:uuid:51c816c4-2184-4b1e-9749-81509844cc53> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://stellarfi.com/web-stories/6-key-insights-on-the-near-perfect-job-market | 2023-09-27T11:44:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.955656 | 238 |
Criticism in 2019 is bordering on cruel often seeking to dismantle credibility in the eye of the beholder.
Critical (Analysis) Critiqué (Peer review)
The critic (Siskel and Ebert) is very usually the failed artist. One who knows enough about a form from their own experiments, but orient towards the analysis of said art. I am not saying that I am not open to criticism. Though I prefer to wield it against myself and to question my heroes. I myself a degreed and proper student of literature with an expensive education in letters that is only useful now that I have made a living doing other things. Analysis is perhaps a better word these days. Not so rife with the darkness, our sardonic state of dialogue.
The art of poetry has been dissected, de-constructed, rebuilt, reconstituted, regurgitated, fight over it and derided as unacceptable. I doubt
I offer anything new to its discussion, but I am very interested that poetry not go the way of Latin. I don’t want to practice a dead art. | <urn:uuid:dee456a3-bafc-40db-bf78-847eda0d0cd5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://stephensutherlin.com/criticism/ | 2023-09-27T12:50:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.968532 | 226 |

About Alex Maw
Get to know Alex Maw
Hi, my name is Alex. I started taking piano lessons when I was nine and started playing trumpet for my elementary school band in the 5th grade. I proceeded to play trumpet all the way up to my senior year of high school. I was a part of the Deer Valley High School marching band for all four years and even received the Outstanding Senior award in my last year of high school. Along with that I also started playing guitar midway through my eighth grade year and started taking lessons at this very location. It has since become my main instrument and although my main genre for it is modern metal I also won the Louis Armstrong award my senior year in my high school jazz band. So if I’m there and you’ve got any guitar related questions be sure to send them my way. | <urn:uuid:3c750ff3-dee8-45e8-a362-0faf25a5172e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://stores.musicarts.com/associates/alex-maw | 2023-09-27T11:51:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.984487 | 172 |

Strength training is not cross-training for runners. It’s just part of the training that’s needed to properly prepare for a peak performance.
And while ideal strength training will consist of weightlifting in the gym – lifting for power and strength – what if you don’t have the option of going to a gym?
- Not have a gym conveniently located near you
- Be unable to afford a gym membership
- Have no interest lifting weights in short shorts (I respectfully disagree)
- Be sheltering at home through a once-in-a-century global pandemic
So if a gym membership isn’t possible – and you don’t have a well-stocked home gym – then we have to rely on a bodyweight exercise routine.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing as we can gain a lot of strength, injury prevention benefits, and form improvements from bodyweight exercises. We just need to ensure that our strength workouts are structured appropriately.
That structure depends on your fitness level and the goal.
So if you haven’t started a strength habit yet, this article will help you build your own bodyweight exercise routine (or, use one of our existing routines).
If you’re like my past client Sarah, you’ll notice the difference quickly:
If it were not for you I would not have realized the additional work that should be done. I’m looking forward to this training cycle and so are my hips, glutes, hamstrings and IT Bands :)! Your workouts are such an inspiration. – Sarah
But first, we need to establish the goal.
Step 1: What’s the Goal of the Bodyweight Exercise Routine?
This will help you determine what exercises to include in the routine, its length, and how it’s structured overall.
While there can be many goals of a set of bodyweight exercises like weight loss, general fitness, or “getting ripped” us runners are usually more specific. Because we’re athletes, our goals have more to do with performance.
That means our strength training can have a few types of goals:
- Strength / Power
- Cardiovascular / Metabolic / Aerobic
Stability is a type of strength that helps you maintain good form when you’re fatigued or covering technical terrain on the trails. It’s also an important skill for injury prevention. Exercises for this goal will have a few characteristics:
- They’ll have no resistance (from a medicine ball, exercise band, dumbbell, etc.)
- Focused on the core rather than on the upper body or legs
- They’ll typically be slightly easier than “strength” exercises (or, performed slightly differently)
Strength and power help you kick harder at the end of races, build better muscle coordination, and improve your running economy. Exercises for this goal have these characteristics:
- Extra weight is added (whether a formal implement like a med ball or a paint can, child, or a jug of water)
- They’re focused on the major muscle groups (instead of a supporting exercise like a clamshell that targets the glute medius)
- They’ll be slightly more advanced or performed differently
Cardiovascular or metabolic fitness is what we runners typically get from running. I normally advise against this goal for our strength training but I’m making an exception today.
If you’re stuck at home without any equipment, maintaining your aerobic fitness can be accomplished partially through a bodyweight exercise routine. We’ll need high-intensity exercises and very little rest to maintain a higher heart rate.
Now, it’s important to note that these goals do not exist in isolation from each other. If you exclusively train for stability you’ll still gain strength and some aerobic benefits – and vice versa.
Just like you can still get faster if you only run slow, you can still develop some power if you don’t do any power exercises.
The benefits of training accrue at different rates depending on what activity you’re doing. Our goal is to make sure that our workouts are focused.
Step 2: Choose Exercises
From our plank routine – the Gauntlet Workout
Once you understand the goal of the routine – stability, strength/power, or metabolic fitness – then you can start choosing exercises.
While there are hundreds (thousands?) of bodyweight exercises to choose from, it’s typically best to focus on the fundamentals. They’re easier to learn and more effective. After all, they’re the fundamentals for a reason.
Choose exercises like:
- Squats (and squat variations)
- Planks (and plank variations)
- Glute bridges
- Pull-ups / Chin-ups
- Bird dogs
- Hip thrusts
- Overhead press
Almost all of these exercises are helpful for building stability and strength. But we’ll need additional exercises for cardiovascular development, like:
- Split lunge jumps
- Jumping jacks
- Jump rope
- Mountain climbers
These exercises, far more than the options in the first list, will increase your heart rate and provide a stronger metabolic stimulus.
Step 3: Determine the Order, Recovery, & Sets
View this post on Instagram
Once we understand the goal of the routine and have a series of exercises picked out, it’s time to structure the routine.
The order of exercises, how much recovery is given after each exercise, and the number of sets all determine the type of workout you’re about to get.
Every routine should be structured as general to specific. That means runners will progress from exercises done on the floor in a seated position to exercises done while standing.
Every routine should also be set up to go from simple to complex. That means runners will progress from easier exercises to the more difficult exercises.
If the goal of the workout is cardiovascular fitness, recovery between exercises and sets should be kept to a minimum (or none at all!). This will help keep heart rate elevated throughout the workout. Bodyweight exercise routines with a strength or stability focus can include more recovery.
The number of sets in the routine helps determine its difficulty. Beginners can do 1-2 sets while more advanced athletes can build up to 3-4 sets.
Now you know the goal of the routine, what exercises you’re going to choose, and how the session will be structured.
Let’s review a few example workouts so you fully understand how to create a bodyweight exercise routine.
Example Bodyweight Exercise Routine for Stability
To show the incredible variety that we can expose ourselves to, runners can train for stability using a single exercise or a series of different exercises.
The Gauntlet Plank Workout uses 11 different plank variations to build dynamic core stability:
- Pushup plank
- Side arm raise (in pushup position)
- Front arm raise (in pushup position)
- Forearm plank
- Pushup plank shuffle
- Forearm to pushup plank
- Spiderman plank
- Alternating leg lifts (pushup position)
- Two-point pushup plank
- Alternating leg lifts (forearm position)
- Two-point forearm plank
You can also download a photo guide to this routine here (I’ll also send you our other photo guides!).
If you prefer a wider variety of exercises (I certainly do) then you’ll love the Standard Core Routine:
- Modified bicycle
- Side plank
- Modified bird dog
- Supine leg lift
This is my “bread and butter” core workout for runners that trains everything from the glutes, hips, obliques, abs, and hamstrings. If you’re able to do three sets of this routine three times per week, you’ll thrive.
Example Routine for Strength
Building strength is far easier when we’re lifting extra weight. And most of us have access to simple tools like:
- Medicine ball
- Kettlebell or an adjustable dumbbell
- Exercise band
- Jug of water, child, tire, piece of wood, paint can, etc.
So if you can add weight to an exercise, you can safely consider it a more “strength-oriented” exercise.
But you don’t necessarily need a weighted implement. You can perform the eccentric contraction of any lift slower and more deliberately than the concentric contraction to make it far more difficult. This is called a “negative rep” and it helps to put the muscle under more stress.
If you’re doing a squat, the downward squat is the eccentric contraction – this is when the quadriceps is lengthening but still under load. To perform a negative squat, just squat down slowly and then stand up to the starting position at normal speed.
You can also incorporate both negative reps and weighted reps into any bodyweight exercise routine to make it more challenging.
An effective strength workout for runners is the Tomahawk Medicine Ball Workout:
- Plank (rotation optional)
- Rocky solo
- Hot salsa
- Single-leg deadlift with press
- Twisting lunge
All you need is a medicine ball and enough overhead space to lift it above your head (so… I can’t do this exercise routine in my basement…).
Example Routine for Metabolic Fitness
If you’re sheltering at home or quarantined like one of my clients, you’re left with very few options. After all, it’s hard to maintain your cardiovascular fitness if you can’t do any cardio.
But if we use high-intensity bodyweight exercises with little recovery, we can raise our heart rate and stimulate our metabolic fitness without ever running a step.
MetCon Alpha uses a variety of exercises in a HIIT format:
The exercises in this workout include:
- Warm-up: 2-3 running form drills
- Spiderman Plank
- Pushup with mountain climbers
- Side plank with leg raises & “thread the needle”
- Split lunge jumps
This is a very flexible routine; the number of repetitions and recovery can both be manipulated to make it easier or more challenging.

Pale Waves and Inheaven
Lincoln Hall // Chicago, IL // April 7, 2018
Female fronted goth pop is not only welcome, it’s necessary.
On an unusually cold April evening, hundreds of teens and 20somethings flooded into Lincoln Hall wearing black lipstick and Doc Marten boots: your classic goth kids. The band’s founding members, vocalist Heather Baron-Gracie and drummer Ciara Doran, don an aesthetic that resembles a cross between Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Cramps. Don’t let Pale Waves‘ look fool you though: their music is more pop than industrial and more upbeat than somber. The band’s sound is reminiscent of early 90s Robert Smith and Morrissey, giving a multidimensional feel to an otherwise simple pop ballad. Pale Waves have only been making music for a few years, but they’ve blown up since touring with British darlings The 1975 and releasing their first EP, All The Things I Never Said, in February.
Fellow British indie rockers Inheaven opened for Pale Waves in Chicago, and their sound is more alternative and hard rock than the headliners. The four-piece band released their first single on Julian Casablanca’s label Cult Records, and have garnered a lot of attention in the U.K. Their set started off the night on the right note, playing singles from their self-titled album, released only seven months ago. The album has been praised by NME and other publications as an incredibly strong debut record; it’s no wonder they’ve toured with such acts as Jamie T and Pale Waves. The band will no doubt be headlining their own tour soon enough, and hopefully, that will include some stops in the U.S.
While Pale Waves have a sound of their own, it’s very clear that they’re heavily influenced by The 1975, and part of that could certainly be due to the two bands sharing a label (Dirty Hit Records). Their 80s-style melodies and modern lyrics are almost too similar to The 1975 at times, but fans of both bands know that know they compliment each other rather than copy each other’s vibes. What makes Pale Waves stand on their own, aside from their goth aesthetic, is the powerful vocals of Baron-Gracie and her onstage chemistry with Doran. Pop music can fall start to feel superficial when fronted by female musicians (almost entirely due to the marketing of the artist), and the women of Pale Waves are not only pushing against that stereotype, they’re kicking it off the stage with their combat boots. With dreamy songs like “Heavenly” and pseudo-romantic ballads like “My Obsession,” Pale Waves are set to become huge in the States. Hopefully they can continue to create their own sound and step out of the shadow of their male mentors.
Pale Waves are headed back to the U.K. and will be touring throughout the summer.

In 2020, Sunshine was awarded a three-year contract, with two renewal options, to provide seven-day-a-week service to a wide variety of facilities in the City of Coconut Creek. This Broward County, Florida community is home to more than 60,000 residents and is known as the “Butterfly Capital of the World.”
Haydie Caraballo, a day porter with Sunshine for the past two years, works Monday through Thursday ensuring that some of the City’s facilities are clean and presentable every day. From empty paper towel holders to debris in the parking lot, she constantly scans the bathrooms, cafeteria areas and the common areas of the Police Department, Commission Chambers, City Hall and Public Works.
Sunshine’s contract also includes cleaning of the community center, recreational complex, public works and utilities, 911 dispatch command center, and fire station.
Her challenging assignment covers all aspects of janitorial services, including daily trash removal and office cleanings, floor and carpet care, and inside and outside window cleaning.
The Coral Springs resident loves her job, especially with the four-day, 10-hour-a-day shift that follows the Coconut Creek employee schedule. “Every day is different,” she says. “I enjoy helping the City shine!”
According to Derek Auckland, Sunshine’s Florida Operations Manager, Caraballo is the one who shines at the company. “Haydie’s positive attitude and focus on providing excellent service to the customer, makes all of us at Sunshine look good. We value her commitment and contributions,” he said.
Spotlighted as one of the “Best Cities to Live in America” by Money Magazine, and a Top Ten Place to Live in Florida by Movoto and NerdWallet, Coconut Creek is the first Florida community and only the 11th in the country to be certified as a “Community Wildlife Habitat.” Home to the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek and the Coconut Creek Promenade, a 23-acre, open-air, upscale shopping and restaurant center, the city is recognized for its unique environmental consciousness touting an abundance of trees, waterways, landscaped roads, parks, and butterfly gardens throughout the neighborhoods. | <urn:uuid:b90683af-9609-4cd4-8866-ea9af44c2fb8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sunclean.com/proud-to-serve-the-buttefly-capital/ | 2023-09-27T12:24:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.950869 | 467 |

I need a response to the below statement. I will attach an example.
During the short weeks my mentee was attempting to achieve one of his short term goals of having better typing skills, it was evident my mentee what is putting forth a lot of effort. My mentee went from typing 20 words per minute to 55 words per minute in just four weeks. What is better about my mentee accomplishing this goal is some of the side effects my mentee had from achieving their goal. My mentee had more confidence in their ability to display their work to other supervisors when a written report had to be completed about the work they had just done. Another positive is my mentee was able to see that achieving a goal is achievable. My mentee is now putting forth more effort to complete their other short term goals and long term goals we had placed for them in the individual development plan.
I can now see when my mentee sits down to complete a written report they are not stressed because they know they have the ability to efficiently type the report with all of the details necessary. I remember watching my mentee stop doing the task 30 minutes prior so they could start working on the written report, because they were so stressed on how long the report would take to complete.
While I have not seen a change in my mentee’s personal life since completing this goal, during our check in meetings he is still very positive about the organization, and his personal life. At this time, I have no bad things to say about my mentee and have given him a lot of praise on his effort and completing one of his short term goals.

Pre-2000 thread. What are you watching? I don't know if I can finish Key despite being on episode 14, the last two episodes are over three hours total.
Pre-2000s anime thread
watch lupin mamo and was kinda confused how this isnt more liked. narrative is interesting and well structured, cast is in character, animation is too bad considering its late 70s, art direction is fairly interesting considering the fact that scifi hype only started during the 80s, yet in mamo a bunch of scifi structures depicted in great detail. probably liked the movie way more than cagliostro, simply because of how much more expressive and unique the narrative was. it didnt just recycle and rewind the same events a bunch of times.
also watched natsu e no tobira, which was absolute dogshit in almost every way.
finally got around to watching the crusher joe ovas, now that they are available as proper bd-rips. visuals were quite impressive, particularly for the second ova, but every thing else not so much. audio direction was too overbearing most of the time. biggest problem however was the written aspect. the narrative of the first ova was fine, and the character dynamics still mostly in tact, but the second ova focused too much on a generic and arguably badly executed plot with awfully bland side characters. the main cast hardly interacted which turned its from "crusher joe" into a run of the mill sci fi flick with a bunch of explosions. felt a bit like venus wars in that regard. a real pity. enjoyed myself nonetheless, even though the movie being vastly superior in my book.
I decided to drop Key halfway into 14 since it's just an exposition dump and I stopped caring. Gonna watch Spirit of Wonder instead.
Watching Ashita no Joe, it is shit, they stretched out about 30 episodes worth of material into 79 eps
>the last two episodes are over three hours total.
Wait, what the fuck?
but user, the ending is memorable. hence its a masterpiece.
Last two episodes are 100 minutes each.
Well this was pretty much the most 80s thing Ive ever seen
Damn you Sup Forums! Never told me that Kei and Yuri appears in this Crusher Joe movie.
They show up in Patlabor too.
They made tons of appearances in Urusei Yatsura, City Hunter and many others.
Why do I have to keep being reminded of the large box of LDs I still haven't watched through?
Aw no, you made it so far. The ending's pretty alright. Some good stuff happens after the exposition dump.
Maybe, but 30 minutes of two guys talking on a bench explaining everything just seemed like a poor direction choice and put me off.
>oh shit, we have two episodes left and the plot is still sort of a mess, what do we do?
Stop showing off.
That's true, but at least there's still something there. I'm not really blaming you for dropping it, but I'm just saying that 30 minutes of exposition isn't much considering how many others shows are. Although, I'm almost sure that there was at least an hour of exposition not gonna lie.
calling them "support" characters is a fucking joke. thank god they only show up for the fraction of a second.
No. Might be worth holding out until I get a player that doesn't act screwy though.
Finished Spirit of Wonder. That was nice (and looked great). Going to watch Black Magic M-66 now.
Space Adventure Cobra is great. It's like Lupin in space. A lot of great animation of the MC running and shit. All the backgrounds look 80's as fuck because it's neon as hell. Buildings are a mix of blue, green, purple, red, orange, and pink.
Takarajima is a underrated Dezaki gem and undoubtedly the greatest pirate anime to ever exist. Great characters with a nice gradual development over time. Excellent chemistry between them.
Rose of Versailles is the best shoujo anime of all time which wouldn't normally seem like much, but it's even an all time great regardless of what genre it is or what audience it targets. Great story with complex characters. I love the beautiful scenery and the tragic lives of these characters.
Ashita no Joe 1&2. The greatest story in all of the sports genre. Joe is such a flawed and tragic figure. It's painful to watch him ride on the path of self destruction. It's beautiful and one of few stories that excels far beyond the world of anime/manga.
Yeah whatever. Ie Naki Ko is his magnum opus.
exactly the amount of substance that i exepct from posts in these threads.
>I don't know if I can finish Key despite being on episode 14, the last two episodes are over three hours total
Then think of it like watching a few episodes you stupid idiot. Your tiny brain probably didn't even realize you've been watching it for longer than 3 hours already.
Nah, I'd rather not waste my time on the disappointment that remains. I could watch several episodes of something actually good instead.
If you thought it was bad, you should've said so in the first place, moron. You suggested you didn't want to finish because of the length of the final episodes.
>exactly the amount of substance that i "exepct" from posts in these threads.
Expecting a lengthy review or anything more would be retarded especially considering this isn't a review site. I don't understand why some feel the need to cry about the most minuscule of things when they could just check out the show for themselves and see if they like it.
Been working on Cobra myself recently. The episode where Cobra ends up fighting cyborg pirate babes and the Swordian arc has been my favorites so far.
They weren't "episodes". The last few are actually a movie. (was actually in Japanese theatres)
Key is still my all time most cherished childhood animu, but the exposition dump in the movies really kinda killed it a bit.
Last episode is good though.
I will never forget the unique soundtrack. Even the Ocean Group dub was non-shit.
When I watched the Cobra BD, there was an echo-like problem with the audio. Apparently it's present in all versions of Cobra? I recall it being discussed before. Was annoying at first, but I got over it.
why bother to talk about a show when all you say is "greatest", without providing any arguments to back up your claim? just post the grid and be done with it, and as soon as someone asks what it is and if its good, you can elaborate regarding the aspects you liked. i mean, thats just my opinion, but to me these sort of posts do more harm than good. they make the poster look like a complete fucking moron.
going digital was a mistake
>why bother to talk about a show when all you say is "greatest", without providing any arguments to back up your claim?
Because it's subjective. Not saying these things for the sake of argument. It's a matter of opinion and if people think differently then that's fine.
>just post the grid and be done with it
or just don't complain.
>and as soon as someone asks what it is and if its good, you can elaborate regarding the aspects you liked. i mean, that's just my opinion
That goes without saying. Acting like a child about it doesn't make other person wrong just because they didn't assume they'd need to explain in detail why they like something.
>but to me these sort of posts do more harm than good.
Now you're just being petty.
>they make the poster look like a complete fucking moron.
And there it is. This entire post is moronic. Basically what you're saying is "People deserve proper explanations on basic opinions in this thread and they have the right to bitch at you for stating a simple opinion while insulting your intelligence for not elaborating on it even though they never asked for it".
Makes perfect sense.
At least Japs are keeping hand drawn animation alive. Even though CG is still slowly taking over anime too.
I wish they'd keep it away from iconic franchises at least
You can white as much as you want about a show but be prepared to not get any you's. The average Sup Forums user on a faster board like this has enough of an attention span for one maybe two sentences per post.
>possibly three if one is greentext
Not him but having “greatest” and “best” in all of your posts does make you seem like a total retard.
We're probably in a transition period. There might be a point where CG anime do actually look good. Maybe they'll look back on right now the way we look back on the early days of the transition to digital. Even though I don't think anime ever totally recovered from that transition.
I'm watching Arcadia of my Youth right now.
>that fucking 009
>or just don't complain.
sorry but i am interested in the quality of these threads to go up, not further down.
>just because they didn't assume they'd need to explain in detail why they like something.
if they dont do that then their post has no value. calling something "greatest" has about as much substaance and not saying anything at all. if you post a grid then that already implies that you like it.
>Now you're just being petty
i mean, in my opinion they have little to no value. thats kinda bad, no?
>People deserve proper explanations on basic opinions in this thread and they have the right to bitch at you for stating a simple opinion while insulting your intelligence for not elaborating on it even though they never asked for it
i mean, if you cant explain your opinion why bother stating it publically? do you not realize how futile that is? if i asked you what X is like and you responded with "its the greatest", well then that doesnt really tell me more than going on MAL and looking at the average score.
>tfw no Miime gf
Best girl, from Sailor Moon.
>We're probably in a transition period
More like a phase. Japs are too stuck in the past to fully commit to CGI as an art form and there aren't many people who actually want it. Not to mention it's more expensive and hasn't been perfected there yet. At this rate, it may take another 15 years before we start to notice some serious changes.
Just watched this movie the other day.
This film still holds up. I think it has a lot to do with Miyazaki's uniqe looking visuals and Joe Hisaishi's moving score.
>sorry but i am interested in the quality of these threads to go up, not further down.
None of these threads have ever been good and you know it for a fact. If you think something as stupid as "lack of detail" is a major problem, then you desperately need to re'think your life's values.
>if they dont do that then their post has no value. calling something "greatest" has about as much substaance and not saying anything at all. if you post a grid then that already implies that you like it.
What are opinions? Why should the value of an individual's post even matter? Just move on instead of protecting the "prestige" of these threads. Continuing to bitch about is what kills these threads. Not one user's post.
>i mean, in my opinion they have little to no value. thats kinda bad, no?
and constantly saying it has little to no value makes it better, no?
>i mean, if you cant explain your opinion why bother stating it publically?
No one bothered to ask the person to explain. You don't sit there and go into lengthy detail when you tell someone you enjoy pizza. Why should anime be any different. Just say you like it and give vague reasons why. If someone asks for more, THEN you do it.
>if i asked you what X is like and you responded with "its the greatest", well then that doesnt really tell me more than going on MAL and looking at the average score.
Except in this case you didn't ask what x is like. You simply cried about it after the fact.
>This film still holds up
Not that shitty ending though.
who gives a shit hand drawn will ALWAYS look better than cgi. cgi is not anime
cgi is an infestation and it needs to die, we don't need anime looking like pixar shit
You got to admit, that a lot of manga that adapted into an anime tried to condense a whole epic into a feature usually have a shit ending.
>Fist of the North Star the Movie
>Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies
Doesn't mean we should accept it.
I'm watching Rose of Versailles right now, and it's some good shit. The writing most of all, which pulls you along by the heartstrings with both urgency and finesse from the first episode. But the art is also enriched with feminine, regal flair befitting Oscar and the setting. And the direction has made some inspired moves to manipulate tension.
English OP/ED were alright but I skimmed the dub and wasn't impressed.
Also gib BD Pony Canyon.
>There might be a point where CG anime do actually look good.
It's CANCER either way, anime is meant to be 2D not cgshit.
>Maybe they'll look back on right now the way we look back on the early days of the transition to digital
god i hope not, acrylic still looks better than digital
This is not a cel. It's a genga,
Great work user. Would you mind making one for Black Jack one day?
>Also gib BD Pony Canyon.
I pre-ordered and bought the Diskotek Blurays, though it wasn't upscaled. Just the DVD files on a bluray disk. I wonder how well they sold.
oh shit my mistake here is a cel
yeah. The show or OVAs?
The last few eps of Key are criminally shit. It's a damn shame too. I liked it a lot up until then. Still worth watching though.
Dezaki really was a god at using his visual direction to enhance the execution of the story and the characters emotions. Even Ace wo Nera!, as rough as the art and animation looks tends to be a quite a treat visually due to Dezaki. Let alone his latter works. Golgo 13 especially blows me away.
>there aren't many people who actually want it
There aren't people over here who want it either. What makes anime good is that its 2D unlike all the western shit.
The OST too.
I'll probably try Golgo 13 next.
jUST DO IT, FAGGOT. Just be prepared for a shitton of plot dump
You should. There has never been a bad animated adaption. All of it is good shit.
>I don't know if I can finish Key despite being on episode 14
Honestly they aren't that bad. Just watch em.
Ah, well never mind then.
I remember enjoying Key, but I can't remember much about it. Guess it is time for a rewatch, it has prolly been a decade since I even thought about that show.
Meanwhile pic related gets rewatched at least once a year.
You posted the wrong pic, that's not Jupiter.
You should watch the two Galaxy Express 999 movies next if you haven't seen them.
Just listened to the song while watching the gif on repeat. Makes me real happy I grabbed that discotek blu ray release on a whim.
Finished watching Votoms today, what a ride that was.
a good one?
Yeah, I'd give it 8/10. Definitely worth a watch.
Seems bothersome setting up a way to display subs. I cherrypick my non NTSC lds - good production/atmospheric (Yamada/Ruin Explorers), good episodes(last half of Berserk). Only full show I got is Eva since it's top-tier
macross plus, finished it yesterday
decent music, nice flow, shame it's so short
I just finished watching this. I liked it. The last episode in particular was pretty cool. Also, has anyone read the manga? How does it compare to the OVA?
I watched this not to long ago too. I thought the character we're pretty interesting. Didn't care much for the ending though
> Spirit of Wonder
Definitely read the manga, too. Tsuruta Kenji's art is top.
I tend to prefer going with the manga first before watching an adaptation, but I've heard a lot of good stuff about the Rose of Versailles animated series. Should I just watch the anime, or stick to the manga?
> The show or OVAs?
Considering that he's fawning about Dezaki, then OVAs.
Read the Jagi manga and watch the DD show
> Should I just watch the anime, or stick to the manga?
Finish the manga and watch the anime. Seriously, both are worth it.
Mamo is considered the best special by a lot of Lupin fans, myself included.
I feel like you could just pick any 20 random screens from AnJ for one of these. That show is beautiful.
All of those are great, though. Fuck off.
>I just finished watching this. I liked it. The last episode in particular was pretty cool. Also, has anyone read the manga? How does it compare to the OVA?
Bad. It continues where the anime left off, which was a perfect ending.
Nah. They're really not.
Watched this garbage Ghibli knock off. And it was, yeah, garbage. Nothing happens for most of the movie, which is so boring, every character gets bored. Seriously. If they had cut it down to an hour, it could've been good.
Editing was shit too though. You disappoint me Studio 4C.
Also watched Rintaro's Kaze no Matasaburo, which gets posted here from time to time. There were some nice moments, but overall it doesn't do anything for me. Don't know what the story was supposed to be.
Maybe I don't get Kenji Miyazawa, but I like Gauche, but that had breath taking scenery and Isao Takahata.
What do you guys think of Kenji Miyazawa (anime)?
>Miyazaki's uniqe looking visuals
You mean Moebius.
Epic contrarianism, bro. You're really fitting in well.
>Ghibli knock off
I'd say Children Who Chase Lost Voices is a Ghibli knock off. Arete not that much.

Would you fuck a hot trap Sup Forums?
Would you fuck a hot trap Sup Forums?
honestly yeah i would
Nigga. I would suck the dick on a hot trap. If it makes me feel like its feminine, thats where my reptile brain goes. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. You cant be like "holy shit that ass is hot" and then truth is its got a dick, then do a 180. A holes a hole.
Already fucked a cute twink, so a trap would just be even better.
I want to marry a cute trap
My ex was one and he was really hot. Probably just based on horny levels it was better experience than dating a woman
I'm about to give my first bj wish me luck UwU
Yeah I kinda already know that but thanks for reassuring me bro
Go get fucked Hon, have some fun!
good luck! dont forget to swallow. post updates after
They act like the word faggot has any power over us.
like dude I've been called that for 23 years you think your dumb ass is gonna get to me?
>Would you fuck a hot trap
Definitely. I love traps, I think it's because they have men's personalities but women's looks, so it's the best of both worlds. Plus the dick is great too.
Yeah exactly, like at this point you can call me fag all you want. My ex used to call me fag when I was kissing him LOL
No, but i would love to get fucked by hot trap.
Hhhnnng that's so hot. Sabrina Suzuki right? her massive cock is heavenly. Imagine being totally filled up by a huge girl cock, totally emasculated by a pretty girl. Must be incredible.
Dick is 100000 times better than vag
You look like the TF2 medic
Yep. I totally agree. Dick is WAY more aesthetic. But femininity is nice. So traps are a perfect mix.
What not both at the same time
Yeah, but in reality, a lot of them are really depressing or psychologically messy
outter beauty can do really bad things to the human brain. I would know, I used to trap and camwhore
And I felt so ugly inside :(
I know I'm not ugly, but when you're focused on trying to be cute, all you're really telling yourself is "you're not good enough, you can be cuter."
And so you try and try, and fail and fail because you can only ever be you.
I have yet to find a trap irl where my heart said "this one is ok to be with". I have had many partners, and I have found that unless I listen to my heart's feelings, I will choose the wrong partners.
Something about traps just makes my body say "not this one" even if I find them very attractive.
So to answer your question, OP, I would, but my heart says it's a bad idea, and i know that if I argue with my heart, it'll be a bad time.
also traps don't typically go for other traps v__v;
I would, if they looked like this.
My trap friend actually really likes traps, but he’s also a huge dicked top so that’s probably why
big dick qts like
this one are a huge turn on for me..
I wish that hormones didn't almost kill me because I was close to that reality myself
hyperkalimia is no joke
Yes! My trap friend has some kink that makes him really like teasing tops by showing them his huge dick. He’s a crazy 9 inches and seeing that on a thin feminine body is so hot
you ever suck him off?
I cannot. Too thick makes my jaw hurt after 2 minutes. I just jerk him off if he’s with me and he starts pushing me to. He’s tried convincing me to let him top me a few times
that's a shame, he at least cum in your mouth?
My new BF doesnt like it when I say it. I use it as a word of endearment the same way the niggers did. Also it's just nice to have a word that I can say that most other people would get in trouble for.
Nah, I ain't no faggot. I would let a trap fuck me, like a proper straight man.
uggh, what a dream *__*
I want to play with a boy like that so badly but my heart always says no reeee
I mean I am totaly not gay but I would fuck a trap idk why shit was always weird fantasy
100% yes its like a girl without the problem and a dick
Why not? It’s a lot of fun
I liked it, I thought it was funny
No he came on my face
100% but no trap are cute just picture and filter irl they look shit i keep my anime fantasy
Some look really good honestly. It’s just INSANELY rare to find the good ones
Never seen even a passable question did trap only go for trap ? in fact i dont want to be a trap or neither i can 6ft3 220lbs 5 year of workout in gym 4-5/7 days but trap was always a real fantasy
My fiances's a trap, so yes
but not going to lie those are some serious "I'm going to smother you with a pillow in your sleep" eyes
I think your bf posts in our threads

In May, the Norway fund’s ethics council cited numerous efforts by Walmart to improve working conditions at its suppliers. It pointed to the 13,000 supplier audit reports Walmart said it reviewed last year (that number increased to 14,700 in fiscal 2019), and the 500 investigations Walmart launched into issues reported to it. But as Walmart made many of these changes, it was dogged by reports of labour issues in its supply chain.
In 2015, a report from the Asia Floor Wage Alliance detailed abuses across Walmart’s supply chain in Cambodia, India and Indonesia. Among the issues reported by workers at Walmart’s garment suppliers in those countries were forced labour, wage theft, sexual harassment, crackdowns on strikes and worker organisation, and dangerous working conditions.
In the meantime, even social-minded investors and shoppers — the Norways of the world — give companies the thumbs up. They may do so with the best information and best corporate reporting available. But that info and reporting only goes so far, and critics charge it is incomplete until it is more directly tied to how well workers are actually treated in global supply chains. | <urn:uuid:9df516b2-068e-43ca-9147-4e1172faedce> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://supplychainasia.org/walmart-enough-protect-workers-supply-chain/ | 2023-09-27T11:16:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.960532 | 227 |

My models has always a lot of blendshapes (sometimes > 100), which are all bound on the head and are used in my animations. But when you are focused on the skeleton, this blendshapes forces you to scroll up and down all the time. Is there a way, to hide them temporary? If not, maybe an additional filter option would be nice for this 4 types (IK, position, rotation, "plus")?

Distribution Germany: Soulfood
Without ever conforming to trends nor compromising on stellar musicianship and aggression, Los Angeles-based Thrashers HeXeN forges ahead with their most diverse and mature album to date with "Being And Nothingness". Sanctioned by a dark cosmic aura surrounding the entire concept of "Being And Nothingness", the album is a brilliant showcase of intellectual, forward-thinking and their trademark guitar-master wizardry fretwork!
With the album recorded, mixed and mastered at Vivid Tone Recording Studio (Lividity, Guthrie Govan, etc) by Rich Bruce and the stunning album artwork by master of cosmic and fantasy artist Kristian Wahlin / Necrolord (King Diamond, Dissection, Emperor, etc), "Being And Nothingness" is a bold yet innovative Prog-Thrash album that most new generation Thrash bands would only dare dream of.
2. Grave New World
3. Defcon Rising
4. Private Hell
5. Walk As Many, Stand As One
6. Stream Of Unconsciousness
7. Indefinite Archetype
8. The Nescient
HeXeN is a Los Angeles based metal band that has been continuously active since 2003, fusing inspirations from all the different flavors of the genre to construct their own brand of music. It's members began as all youngsters in the scene do, banging their heads to Metallica and Megadeth tunes, completely oblivious to the subsequent southern California thrash scene that was to soon arrive. After completing their first demo in 2004, they hit the ground running to join the ranks of the speed metal contenders of the time Desecrate, Rattlehead, Merciless Death, and a few others. Through the years, each member ventured deeper and deeper into more technical forms of metal and consequently began playing and writing more intricate music. Outside the HeXeN workshop however... the scene was growing exponentially with a new Thrash band being assembled and breaking up on a monthly basis. Truth be told, as extraordinary as the return of metal music has been for America's youth, its arrival (as these sorts of things usually do) unfortunately came in quantities more than qualities, a telltale sign of its probable impermanence. It has been quoted before through past experience of every metal scene boom (i.e. Florida Death Metal and Gothenburg Melo-Death), that after the wave of bandwagon hoppers weed out you'll arrive where you started from... the originators of the scene. HeXeN can say with utmost confidence that they will be one of the ones still left standing.
With the evidence of the first album having been well-received around the metal world under their belt (with comments by some web-zine critics hailing it as one of the best releases of the thrash revival), they've proved to be a hardworking group and the 'thinking man's' metal band, always striving to write material that goes beyond raw thrash songs where music and subject matter (the overdone and typical War and Satanic themes) were merely just skin-deep. They are musicians who have joined the music game for the long run, survived through many line-up alterations and hardships, and will continue to do what they do regardless of whatever trends might be coming or going, or whatever condition the world of metal might end up in.
They are currently working on (and have been for the last couple years) material that is to be the long-anticipated follow-up album which they hope will turn out to be a magnum-opus offering from So-Cal metal.
And of course... our sincere gratitude goes out to everybody that has bought our music, helped the band, played for the band, or even just merely supported the band since the beginning. Couldn't have done it without ya. | <urn:uuid:b7213023-ba67-4cc7-b0a0-b5ea284bdbd2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sureshotworx.de/index.php?pg=1989 | 2023-09-27T11:21:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.95252 | 824 |

The Doctorate Voodoo Strikes Again: Desi Oligarchs Clearly Like The Title
Managing doctorate degree has become a new fashion with officials and politicians and Trinamool’s Partha Chatterjee is among them but with a controversy to boot
On 13 April 2016, a national daily from Kolkata carried a detailed report on the controversy surrounding the PhD thesis of Partha Chatterjee, one of the senior lieutenants of Mamata-di, the supremo of West Bengal. Partha-babu has been called out in a number of academic circles about alleged plagiarism in his thesis, on the basis of which he was conferred a doctorate by North Bengal University. Partha-babu’s alleged mass pilferage of the research output of other scholars, without the minor formality of acknowledging their work and citing their authorship, is something which is becoming a major bugbear in Indian academics.
Ordinary researchers occasionally face the flak but politicians and babus, miraculously, never get trapped.
Chatterjee, at least, went through the formality and chore of writing some sort of thesis, facing the prescribed hoopla of its scrutiny, including the final formality of a viva voce. His mentor and Trinamool chief, Mamata Banerjee, who set the trail in this dismal race in Bengal, as early as in 1985, when she was the poster girl of the Congress, did not even bother with this charade. She just anointed herself as Dr Banerjee, a doctorate from the University of East Georgia.
Uncle Sam’s land has a number of aberrations, but fake PhDs and non-existent universities are a strict no-no. The official agency, United States Educational Foundation of India (USEFI), where lakhs of Indian students used to pore over university prospectuses of American universities and their handbooks in the good old days when there were no computers or internet, had to come out with an official disclaimer that the ‘University of East Georgia’ did not officially exist.
Didi was unfazed and brazened it out with a panache that would have done credit to many seasoned and street-smart spin experts. Over the years, people forgot this monumental chutzpah as other bigger scandals and shenanigans came to the centre stage. Poor Chatterjee has just had the misfortune of getting the spotlight back on his boss and it would be interesting to see how the future treats him. That is, if he has a future of any sort in Bengal politics and in Didi’s never-never land.
Her psyche is manifestly modelled on that of the wily Georgian dictator Joseph Stalin, who said in one of his moments of weakness that ‘the people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.’ More ominously, for poor Chatterjee, is old Joseph’s chilly warning that ‘ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?’
Enough of morbid thoughts, I say. We should return, instead, to the magical attraction that the two letters of the honorific title—Dr—before their name have for India’s oligarchs. Is it the veneer of learning and education that it confers on the bearer? This, certainly, provides a logical and convincing answer. However, it is not enough and we need to explore further.
Other aspects include the irresistible lure of getting something free—the old muft ka maal (freebie) syndrome, as they say, at least in North India. Here again, there are two classes of doctorates—the first is the honorary PhD that politicos and bureaucrats manage to extract from pliant universities. This is usually in the form of a honoris causa award and the highest grade is ‘Doctorate of Laws’ or a D.Litt.
The other variety is where the fellow undertakes the subterfuge of actually submitting a thesis on an obscure subject, like the Mating Habits of the Neelgais in UP and Haryana, or similar baloney, and goes through the full monty that Chatterjee did.
The third variety is the one where industrialists and business magnates with loads of cash persuade institutions financed by them or set up by them to dole out a doctorate to them. This is particularly true of North India and some cases in the South.
This writer and his contemporaries who worked in their salad days in Delhi can hardly forget some of the ‘Doctor’ industrialists who were the toast of the capital’s social circuit. Two brothers from what was, arguably, north India’s largest business house at the time, were particularly known for flaunting their doctorate and insisting that everyone addressed them appropriately. The minions and flunkeys in their commercial empire risked life (and limb) if they did not mind their language. These two ‘doctors’ would have been mortified (or perhaps just surprised) if they had seen their jagirdari disappear without a trace soon after their deaths.
Another Delhi business magnate who careened around with a ‘Dr’ before his name also witnessed his conglomerate sink unceremoniously during his lifetime. Interestingly, I can solemnly affirm that in the heady days between 2000 and 2008 at least, I clearly remember the ‘king of good times’ being feted and addressed as ‘Dr Mallya’ at numerous business conferences and seminars in Delhi. The Fourth Estate, politicos and babus all stooped and genuflected before this honorary doctor.
Coming back to the politicos, the current brouhaha brings back hilarious memories of the mid-1970s, when I had the singular misfortune of watching the late ‘Dr’ Bansi Lal, then the CM of Haryana, delivering the Convocation Address at the Haryana Agriculture University in Hissar. Distinguished members of the agricultural sciences community of our country were falling over each other to pay their obeisance to the fellow.
The crunch came when the national anthem was rendered with some gusto by some school children. Bansi Lal and his cohorts insisted on mispronouncing and mutilating the entire anthem and I nearly died of mortification. No, I did not want the Sanskrit pronunciation, but I certainly could not accept the Harianvi gibberish.
After the trauma, one newly acquired acquaintance, who was spending his last few weeks in Hissar before moving to an American university, confided to me that I would be wise to keep my views to myself. Also, according to him, even the peons and sanitary staff in the campus addressed each other as ‘doctor sahib’. Such is the mystique of ‘Dr’ on our shores.
Where the lalas and netas tread, can the babus be far behind ? In the capital’s seminar and salon circuits, I come across these ‘Dr’ babus with monotonous regularity. The provenance (as they say in the world of art and rare books) of the degrees of the overwhelming majority of these chaps is extremely dubious. Some of them are serving functionaries, while the majority are retired. Any attempt to delve deeper is brushed aside with the panache with which they have always refused any information to the country’s citizens.
A dear friend of mine, who is one of the few in the IAS (Indian Administrative Service) clan I respect and admire, told me in all seriousness that he had been told by many of his underlings in the State Secretariat where he worked intermittently, that they would gladly arrange for a doctorate for him. He would not have to lift a finger, except for signing the admission form. Just before he finally shifted to Raisina Hill on a plum posting, his flunkies in the state capital were so overjoyed that they even volunteered to select his thesis subject. Bassy, are you there? Do not worry, I am not divulging your identity—only a few in our group will recognise you in these pages.
The joke that did the rounds about UP universities in the old days was that it was not advisable to venture into one of the campuses in that state, since there was a serious danger of somebody throwing a PhD at you. Sadly, what UP did yesterday in this arena, Bengal is doing today.
That brings us to the concluding part of this essay about the oligarchy that rules this ancient land. As a wag said about the Delhi lot, every time you shake hands with one of them at a gathering in the capital, you should check whether all your fingers are still present and intact. The irrepressible Spike Milligan (sadly unknown to most of us below 60) said it so aptly, ‘Render any politician (read ‘member of the elite’) down, and you will find enough fat to fry an egg.’
Chatterjee and Banerjee in the successor city of Job Charnock’s Calcutta are merely playing out their roles consummately.

Starring: Oscar Isaac (“Show Me a Hero” and “Star Wars [Trilogy]”) as Steven/Marc, May Calamawy (“Ramy” and “The Long Road Home”) as Layla El-Faouly, and Ethan Hawke (“The Good Lord Bird” and “Before [Trilogy]”) as Arthur Harrow.
Synopsis: When Steven Grant, a mild-mannered gift-shop employee, becomes plagued with blackouts and memories of another life, he discovers he has dissociative identity disorder and shares a body with mercenary Marc Spector. As Steven/Marc’s enemies converge upon them, they must navigate their complex identities while thrust into a deadly mystery among the powerful gods of Egypt.
Who is Moon Knight?
For those who are not familiar with Moon Knight, he is what many consider the Batman of Marvel. Basically, a vigilante with dissociative identity disorder imbued with powers from an Egyptian God. What makes him interesting is he has multiple identities and they change so often that he sometimes is unclear about what is real and what is not. This synopsis makes for a perfect series and it does not disappoint!
Oscar Isaac, as both Steven Grant and Marc Spector, is spectacular. His portrayal of the soft-spoken Englishman, Steven, is quite convincing! Honestly, I could not believe that was his voice. Although he’s not of much use as a scrapper, Steven’s knowledge of Egyptian history proves to be useful during the series. He even provides some comic relief that breaks up the serious tone without interrupting the flow of the series. Issac’s mannerisms, posture, and responses were so different when playing each character that both were unique and clearly distinguishable.
The mercenary and fearless Marc Spector is the complete opposite of Steven. He is better suited for tense situations and impending combat. It’s interesting how these two talk to each other through reflective items (windows, mirrors, etc.) about the predicament they’re in and the past life of Marc Spector. It is during these moments that Oscar Issac seems to shine and shows his range of skills.
Dr. Paul Puri, an Assistant Clinical Professor at UCLA and past president of the UCLA Psychiatric Clinical Faculty Association, was brought onto the project to help the actors and filmmakers understand Dissociative Identity Disorder and its implications. This was key in making the performance as authentic as possible.
Khonshu, the ancient Egyptian god of the Moon, looks amazing and his introduction is what nightmares are made of! With lights flickering, objects moving, and Khonshu’s eerie invisibility, Marc/Steven’s reaction provides a great display of true horror. The way the directors kept Khonshu as a shadowy figure before showing him on screen was great camera work. The moments between Marc, Steven, and Khonshu remind me of Venom and Eddie Brock. Hmm, that would be interesting to see on screen…Moon Knight and Venom. Let’s make THAT happen, Marvel!
The beautiful scenery of Egypt and the artifacts in the series are a plus. I could tell the directors paid attention to every single detail, from the background actors to the venues. My favorite scene is when the characters are looking at the stars in the desert, completely ignoring the colorful diversity of its people. Speaking of which, May Calamawy (an Egyptian-Palestinian actress), as Marc’s wife, Layla, is also a great screen presence. She has a vulnerability towards Marc/Steven, but also gets her hands dirty when needed. All I can say is she can definitely handle herself! Sidebar: since Black Widow is dead, maybe she could join the Avengers? Just a thought.
Ethan Hawk as the main protagonist, Arthur Harrow, is convincingly evil. His menacing and manipulative ways made me want to punch him right in the face (what can I say…I got sucked in). Harrow is definitely demented and has a warped idea of justice. However; his followers all seem grateful for his leadership and are loyal to his cause. Being the former avatar to Khonshu, Harrow serves as a formidable opponent and plays off of the weaknesses of anyone he crosses.
The scenes where the identities switch in order to take over, especially when Steven wakes up from his blackouts with no recollection of how he arrived there, are very cool. The most hilarious scene to me is when Steven comes to after his alter ego, Marc, has murdered henchmen around him. The flashes of light, the smash cuts, and other edits make for great transitions. Egyptian director, Mohamed Diab, sets up some great scenes specifically in the third episode when the characters are in Egypt. Action-wise, this series has some kick-ass fight scenes like when Marc turns into Moon Knight. Let’s just say he kicks a lot of butt! Even some of the dog-like demons he faced were afraid of him.
I’ve only seen up to episode four thus far, but I can assure you that Moon Knight is worth watching. The series has plenty of intriguing storylines to follow and cliffhangers that will leave you wanting more…not to mention director Mohamed Diab makes sure the audience is aware the basis of the story comes from Eygpt. In addition, there are lots of easter eggs I’m sure Marvel fans (and history buffs!) will have fun with. This series is far from family-friendly due to the amount of blood and violence, but it wouldn’t be the same without it. If you love Batman, Deadpool, or the original Moon Knight comic, then you will enjoy this project. | <urn:uuid:6d0cf33a-a9d3-482f-8cdc-829972a9afda> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://tajimag.com/moon-knight-vigilante-with-powers-from-egyptian-god/ | 2023-09-27T11:20:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.969686 | 1,191 |

With all the commentary about the Iran, it is worth noting that there is an argument against the deal. It’s just not one that most opponents feel able or comfortable making publicly. It goes something like this.
The ideal of course is that Iran permanently foreswear nuclear weapons or any nuclear research and development at all, a not terribly realistic hope. But short of that, the real argument goes something like this: Even if Iran can’t build a nuclear weapon for a decade or two, it will get an immediate influx of money and the ability to build a much more thriving economy freed from the weight of decades of sanctions and the especially onerous ones in place in the last few years. In addition, the regime itself will, shall we say, be koshered on the international stage.
For all the trouble Iran makes now for Israel and the Sunni Arab states it is still a pariah state, with no great power patron (though some measure of protection from Russia), limited ability to purchase weapons and an enfeebled economy. Changing all that is a loss for its regional rivals.
Then there’s a potential even greater threat that comes into play if the agreement is in fact successful.
The history of the last thirty-years in the Middle East cannot be understood without reference to how the US-Saudi alliance changed after the Iranian Revolution. The US-Saudi relationship goes back to FDR, who famously met the founder of the Saudi state, Ibn Saud, in February 1945. But until 1979, the US had an equally deep relationship with Iran. Playing the two rivals off against each other was sometimes explicit but always a subtext of this triangular relationship. When Iranians overthrew the Shah and Iran became irredeemably hostile, Washington lost significant room for maneuver in the region. It was forced to dramatically intensify its relationship with Riyadh. If you go back to 1979, the year both of the Iranian Revolution and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, you can see how both events tangled together to lead 22 years later to the events of 9/11.
In any case, implacable hostility between Tehran and Washington is the sheet anchor of the post-1979 US-Saudi relationship. In that sense, the possibility of US-Iranian detente is genuinely threatening. And this applies to various other Sunni Arab states as well. The situation with Israel is much more complex. But there are deep similarities there too.
Now, if Iran just doesn’t obviously violate the nuclear accords but remains basically the regime it is today, these folks don’t have much to worry about. But say the liberalization some hope for does take hold. The regime isn’t overthrown but becomes less repressive, a more responsible regional actor. This is hardly beyond the realm of possibility. Should that happen, there are many good arguments for why the US actually has more common interests with Iran than Saudi Arabia. At least the US would have more options. And that is a genuine threat to the Saudis, especially to those (dominant in the regime) who see the Saudi/Sunni-Iran/Shia conflict as total and permanent.
The truth is that three or four nuclear devices don’t get you ** that ** much. They need to be reliable. You need to be able to deliver them. And of course you need to be able to deal with the consequences of using them against countries that have many more warheads, better ones and far greater ability to deliver them. This is why the generals in the IDF, though deeply fearful of an Iran with nuclear weapons, nonetheless feel it is a challenge they can manage with deterrence. Israel has a massive nuclear arsenal and the ability to deliver them (from deep running submarines) even after a doomsday scenario in which everyone in the country had been annihilated.
The best argument against the nuclear deal is that it is better to keep Iran as a pariah state, with an abiding mutual hostility with the world’s great power, the United States, and still enfeebled by US sanctions, even at the risk of Iran building a handful of nuclear weapons. For the way many Saudis see the world this isn’t only the best argument, it’s actually a decent argument. For the Israelis, it’s considerably more complex. But there’s some logic to it there as well. I certainly do not blame the Israelis for vastly preferring a world where Iran has zero nuclear weapons – let’s not forget: THAT’S WHAT THIS DEAL DOES. But Israel’s generals do not think Iran will launch an unprovoked first strike against Israel to bring on the end times. That’s not Israel’s real problem. Setting aside the abiding issue of the Palestinian conflict, Israel’s real problem is that Iran subsidizes and arms proxy armies to Israel north and south. The situation with Hamas and Gaza is considerably more complex than that. But with Hezbollah it very much captures the situation. Hezbollah is a vastly more lethal force than anything Hamas has or can do in Gaza. In any case, it is obviously a complex reality. But the point is simple enough: a legitimized and wealthier Iran which does not change its behavior presents real challenges to all its neighbors.
Now, when I say this is the best argument, I’m not saying it’s a good argument. I think it’s shortsighted and based more on emotion than reason. But it’s an argument that has a logic behind it and one that does not rely on nonsensical or tendentious claims. It’s just one that few are willing to argue out loud.
With Benjamin Netanyahu, there’s little reason to think he has a Plan B or a rational plan for what comes afterwards if he wins this battle. Nothing about the man would suggest he does. He’s all tactics, with little thought for what comes decades, let alone years later. Everything is for the moment. | <urn:uuid:fdcc2cff-1940-435d-adc7-37be54533b6d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-real-argument | 2023-09-27T11:20:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.951271 | 1,223 |

Are you hiring the right players or you are settling for the ‘OK’ people?
Are you looking for people who are going to take your organization to the next level or you are just filling in with warm bodies?
Today, post-pandemic, we have seen some different things going on with employees.
Some are not coming back.
Some because they are not ready, and some because you no longer need them.
Perhaps you have decided that the person has not performed well for a really long time. You ask yourself, “Do I really need to bring them back into the organization at this point or any point?”
Those are the kind of things that are happening when it comes to employees in today’s world. | <urn:uuid:9105cdf0-6668-435c-90a8-97928a3efb27> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://targetedleadgeneration.libsyn.com/hire-the-right-players | 2023-09-27T12:23:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.982557 | 156 |
My friends, this is happening. 😐
Yes, I’ve been experiencing a lot of problems. Not just me and life (when am I not? :X) – but with the damn site. Scheduled posts don’t … post. It’s annoying as hell. I thought I found a WP plugin to fix it, but then there was a note that it includes a lot of spyware, so … pass. At least it’s not just me – a number of people have had such problems, but I haven’t been able to devote a lot of time and attention to a fix. My apologies.
I’m looking into coding to fix it, but am scared. So, my apologies, but posts will be happening at odd times and possibly days, and please just bear with me. Let’s all cross our fingers WordPress updates soon and fixes this damn glitch.
P.S. – I also hate whatever change it was that made the emoticons look funky, instead of how they used to be.

Airbus is modernising the Tetrapol network for the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe public transport company and will offer a comprehensive service until 2025
Elancourt, 20 November 2018 – From 2019, Airbus will embark on the modernisation of the PMR (Professional Mobile Radio) network of the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) public transport company. By 2020, the PMR provider will have overhauled the network infrastructure and converted the system to Internet protocol (IP).
Airbus has also concluded a service agreement with the BVG until 2025. Airbus will provide the Berlin-based company with advice and support over the course of the modernisation process. The entire contractual package also comprises, alongside the technical retrofitting, the supply of the latest technology, such as an IP-based switch and an in-service maintenance and service provision.
The partners have also agreed to the possibility of progressively expanding the network with other base stations and to run these using the simulcast technology. Simulcast, also called Single Frequency Network, allows all base stations to transmit on the same frequency. This means that signals can be propagated very well over large areas.
Since the network was rolled out in 2001, Airbus has partnered with BVG and, with its modern radio technology, it will make a further important contribution to the efficient running of Berlin’s bus traffic. With the upgraded Tetrapol network, drivers and the control centre will be able to react more efficiently to all kinds of situations and to communicate more securely. The modernisation also implies an increase in the system’s capacity so that it can transmit even greater volumes of data. For approximately 2,100 radio users at the BVG, the Tetrapol network was made even more robust and user-friendly.
A total of around 14,600 people work for the BVG and its subsidiaries to provide an environmentally friendly, reliable and safe transport system for more than a billion travellers each year. To coordinate the complex bus traffic in Berlin, the company built the Airbus Tetrapol network around nine base stations. Buses run on more than 150 lines over a catchment area of approximately 1000 km². The BVG also operates night buses on more than 60 lines, along with 22 tramway lines.

A recently published book by consumer advocate and journalist William McGee examines the airline industry’s race to the bottom and what we can do to stop it. He quotes Teamster leaders in the book, Attention all Passengers: The Airlines’ Dangerous Decent – and How to Reclaim Our Skies.
McGee, a former airline dispatcher, links the industry's degeneration to executives’ relentless efforts to cut costs. They outsource aircraft maintenance and farm out flights to smaller regional carriers. The results have been devastating for travelers and workers -- but lucrative for legacy airlines. They've made billions from checked baggage alone.
Among his many interviews with industry experts, McGee sat down with both Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa and director of the Teamsters Airline Division, Capt. David Bourne. McGee also interviewed Airline Division representative Chris Moore and United Airlines mechanic Dave Saucedo, both of whom are on the Teamsters Aviation Mechanics Coalition steering committee. He also interviewed pilots, mechanics, flight attendants, CEOs, and government inspectors.
McGee describes how major airlines contract out repairs and other maintenance work to unlicensed mechanics in places like El Salvador and Mexico. Bourne told him,
McGee describes his conversation with Hoffa:
If the battle lines are being drawn, I moved from one side of the skirmish to the other, interviewing airline executives and financial analysts, as well as labor officials and academics. But in the annals of the American labor movement, one name undoubtedly stands out from the others: Hoffa…
Once inside the office of James P. Hoffa, the general president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, I was equally struck by the spectacular picture-window view of the Capitol dome and the striking resemblance to his father, James R. Hoffa…
I asked to visit Hoffa because I wanted a big-picture perspective, and his opening remarks were as expansive as our view of the Washington Mall…“Corporate America has betrayed America and American workers,” Hoffa said. “Executives don’t see their obligations. All they think about is the next quarter.”…It doesn’t have to be that way. McGee lists a number of changes needed to reclaim our skies. They include: partial reregulation; enforcing fair competition and international emissions standards; an end to maintenance outsourcing; higher standards for regional airlines and more transparency for foreign ones; revamped corporate bankruptcy laws; and a passenger bill of rights.
We hope McGee's book inspires more workers and the flying public to come together and take back our skies.

growth marketing analyst
I think that it is important to realize that these sorts of people will not go to work for you unless you are actually doing a good job. The biggest problem you face with growing your business is that you probably don’t know enough about what you are trying to grow. If you ask enough people, they will tell you what they are doing to grow their business, but they won’t tell you why. That is what I want to address with you in the next chapter.
The biggest problem with marketing and sales is that people dont tell you the reasons why they are doing what they are doing. These people are probably doing it for the wrong reasons and the wrong reasons are not the reasons they should be doing it. That is why the marketing team and sales team are the right people to make sure your marketing strategies are the right ones and your sales are the right ones. They are the people who should be asking you why you are doing what you are doing.
That is a pretty big deal because if you dont ask the right questions, you don’t know what you should be doing and how you should be doing it. Marketing and sales are the people who are meant to be guiding you, but many people just don’t care or don’t know what they are doing. The problem is that the people who are really good at marketing and sales are the people who are good at marketing and sales the wrong things.
If you are a growth marketer and your goal is to get more traffic and sales, then you need to do the right things. Ask the right questions and figure out what you should be doing. The problem is that many people are not really good at asking the right questions. They are good at what they are doing, but they arent actually building a value-add to their business.
There’s a ton of research that says that the only way to grow your business is to focus on doing the right things, and I agree with this. However, what you have to realize is that a lot of the growth marketing that I see in the media is done by marketing managers who are not really looking to grow their business. They are doing what they are told and getting a “nice” result. These marketers are doing the wrong things, so they aren’t really growing their business.
Although I don’t want to be held in an ethical double standard, I think the problem with marketing managers is that they are so focused on their business that they don’t really care about the people who are growing their business. They are so focused on their business that they don’t think about the people who are making the money for the business. This is because they don’t realize that these marketing managers are probably doing exactly what they should be doing.
I agree. The marketing manager is a very important part of a business, but I think it’s a mistake to have too much focus on that person. The more time you spend on marketing, the more you make at the beginning, but the more you make at the end is due to the people who are marketing for you.
It seems like many businesses have grown organically, yet have never really paid attention to the people who are working for them or the people who work for the marketing team. This is because they think that they are self-sufficient and that they can handle marketing themselves. But marketing is a team effort. We can’t rely on anyone to be our marketing hero.
Marketing is a team effort, and it is a team effort that is responsible for the growth of your company. However, marketing is just one aspect of a company’s overall success. You can build your marketing team yourself, but you can also hire a marketing consultant who will help you build a marketing team.
Marketing is more than just the marketing of your business. It is also what the marketing department is for. They are the ones responsible for the marketing of your whole company. In order to succeed in marketing, you must be able to build the right marketing team. The right marketing team will help you build the right marketing plans, to find the right people, and to hire the right marketing staff. | <urn:uuid:6d49a0ab-618d-4622-a404-6b65b15570de> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://techniahub.com/growth-marketing-analyst/ | 2023-09-27T12:30:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.9871 | 873 |
When we are juggling work and errands, we do not have much time on our hands, so leaving home to do all this stuff makes us worry about our fur babies at home. We wonder what could they be doing, if they miss us or if they are bothered or stressed alone at home — which may not be good for them as it may develop negative behavior.
But thanks to Cengcen Pet Camera Treat Dispenser, I do not have to worry anymore.
Cengcen Pet Camera Treat Dispenser is an automatic camera with a treat dispenser that you can control remotely through its app. It also has a full HD 1080P camera so you can see what your dog is up to.
Read my detailed review of this product below.
Cengcen Pet Camera Main FeaturesTable could not be displayed.
Video & Audio Quality And Sharing
Cengcen Pet Camera Treat Dispenser has two-way audio and video sharing which lets you interact with your fur babies even when you’re not at home. It has a 1080P HD camera and can detect natural lighting which makes the camera automatically switch to night mode when the lighting is already dim in the house. No need to fret because you can still manage to view your dog on camera even it is dark inside your house.
You can connect this device to the internet as it supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. While it is faster to use 5GHz, its range is shorter. You will be automatically switched to 2.4GHz if your device is out of your wifi router’s 5GHz range. Nonetheless, rest assured that the connection is stable, making it easier to connect and avoid signal interference.
The device is compatible with both iOS and Android. You can easily set it up by scanning the product QR code to pair the device with your phone. Once paid, you can now start giving treats remotely. The volume of treat dispense can be also adjusted through the app. Take note that the dispense will be different depending on the size of the treats. Eventually, you will get how it works.
What I love about this camera treat dispenser is that you can share your account with other users without requiring mandatory GPS. My girlfriend and I can now play simultaneously with our dog. He is not so lonely to be left alone in the house now.
Treat Tossing, Compatibility And Capacity
It is ideal to load treats with at least 0.4 to 0.6 inches in diameter. I would highly suggest biscuits, jerky, and freeze-dried treats. The treats pop out of the slot and do not just drop off the slot like a vending machine. In my experience, the toss is powerful enough and covers ample distance which gives our fur babies a happier experience.
The device is sleek and modernly designed with its white color and glossy finish. It has curved edges and is averagely sized at 10.83 x 8.66 x 5.31 inches. The camera can be found on top of the device protruding and facing front. On the bottom part, you will find the color black slot where the treats pop out. On the right side of the treat slot is the two-way speaker where your furry friends can hear your voice and vice-versa.
Our dog is a little big so what I worry about is him toppling over the device. It is a good thing that Cengcen has a wall mount so I just mounted mine on the wall placed it on an ideal spot as the camera is angled downwards. The camera has wide-angle view so so you can also see the room around.
Overall, I can say that Cengcen Pet Camera Treat Dispenser is one of the best in the market. Now, we can enjoy spending time with our dog even we are not at home.

Being a landlord can be tough work. You are often asked to play many roles, like the realtor, repairman, and even interior decorator. But being a landlord can be extremely rewarding, and there are certain things you can do to simplify the job for yourself. Landlords have existed for a long time, but technology has been evolving rapidly. Here are three technologies that will make it easier for you to be an excellent landlord.
Online rental application
One of the most important parts of bringing in new tenants is the rental application. Traditionally, the rental application has been on paper, but online rental applications have a huge advantage over paper ones. They will save you more time, are easier for the tenant to complete, and have the benefit of already being digital. This means a credit and background check can be run right away.
The online rental application will list your properties for you then send the application to any prospective tenants. They will be asked to provide their basic information, financial details, and anything else you have requested. You can even customize the applications to include any questions you may want to ask your future renters.
You can even manage your renters in the system. This process helps streamline the application for both landlords and tenants. Your future renters will be thrilled that you are offering a cutting edge and easy-to-use product.
Cell phone booster
Once you’ve found the perfect tenants, it’s important they continue to be happy with your property and what you are providing. There is one piece of technology that you might never have considered, but could be quite useful for your rental spaces. A cell phone booster for home might just be the thing that persuades tenants to stay with your properties. This is especially important in rural areas where cell phone signals might not be as strong. There are billions of smartphone users and your tenants might prioritize a good cell phone signal when they are looking for a place to live.
The cell phone booster can be easily installed in your tenant’s building. Your renters will never have to compromise on their cell phone signal in order to find the perfect place to live. Since rental units almost never come with landline phones anymore, the strength of the cell phone signal is a very important factor and one that should be addressed, if possible.
Digital signature collection
You’ve found the right tenants, you’ve created the perfect rental space, but now you need to make sure everything is in order for your renters to move in. One thing that is crucial for landlords to take care of is the rental agreement. Digital signature collection makes everything easier for landlords. You’ll be able to easily send your tenants documents to sign, like the rental agreement or rental renewal agreement, and then can sign it and send it back. You won’t have to wait to make sure you see your tenants in person or have them send the documents back in the mail.
The other huge advantage of digital signature collection is that the online system will store your signed documents for you. This means you no longer have to keep large file cabinets full of rental agreements, and you won’t have to go looking for the document if your renter requests a new copy. It’s important that this paperwork stays in a secure and safe place, and using a digital system will help you keep everything in order.
Technology has been a huge help for landlords and has made a difference in property rental and management. If you haven’t yet started implementing some of these technologies, take a look at what you’re missing.
Sometimes It can get a bit too much for landlords and the stress of managing a property can take its toll.
This is why many opt to find a property manager to help alleviate some of the stress involved in being a landlord. A property manager can assist in finding tenants, fixing property damage or taking control of the property entirely. | <urn:uuid:adeb38f7-adb0-4334-a142-73c6cceeaf29> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://techworldzone.com/2019/06/10/three-technologies-every-landlord-should-use/ | 2023-09-27T11:25:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.94497 | 797 |

I think High Adventure was a little easy. I think we should do do every thing the same but with more water. The food was great, the water was cold and the mosquitoes were annoying. my favorite thing on the trip was white water rafting in a thunder storm that made me scared at first then it was a lot of fun. I got scared when David fell out of the raft but Libor and everyone in his raft saved him. The one thing that attacked me was a crawdad. I hate that crawdad, but I brought it upon my self I moved a rock and it attacked me. High Adventure was awesome.

SILKIE CHICKENS 101 | What I Wish I’d Known About Silkies | <urn:uuid:448e53e9-5df7-4a9b-8de8-16f1928a5dcc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thankchickens.com/how-can-you-tell-a-white-silkie-rooster/ | 2023-09-27T11:59:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.941663 | 2,264 |
Over the last 10 years, I have seen some very interesting resumes come across my desk. From candidate’s full length photos to birthdates and names of children, to social security numbers. In today’s age of social media where everyone seems to know everything about everyone, this should not be your attitude while searching for a job.
At That’s Good HR, we like to help candidates while they’re searching for Indianapolis Job Openings to keep your resume simple and succinct. You’ll have a better chance of landing that first interview.
After doing some research to see what other people are seeing out there, I came across a few articles that do a great job detailing what you should avoid putting on your resume. Here’s one source that caught my attention.
While some things are more obvious no-no’s than others, here are a few things they listed that you may or may not be aware of that you should remove from your resume.
1) College Graduation Date
2) Irrelevant Experience
3) Jobs from long ago and far away
4) Personal Information
5) Gaps in History
The article briefly hits on social networking sites as well. Makes sure that your profile pictures on Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and any other site is cleaned up and doesn’t show you doing a keg stand in your living room at your last house party. While we all like to have a little fun, this isn’t what you want a potential employer seeing when they do a google search on you. And trust me, they will.

Ketama is a two-year-old Spanish Galgo dog who lives happily with her owners in the Netherlands. This beauty has one characteristic that distinguishes her from her breed and other relatives – she has an unusually long neck. Because of this feature, the doggie is often compared to a giraffe.
The owner said: “I found out that there is a big problem in Spain. The Galgos are used for hunting which is a big tradition. But if the dogs are not good enough for the hunter they get killed or dumped. Also, at the end of the hunting season, some dogs who didn’t hunt well also get killed or dumped.”
Most often, the Spanish Galgo is used for hunting and dog racing. Unfortunately, in their native Spain, they often suffer from human cruelty, but the owners saved Ketama from trouble just in time. This beauty has really unusual proportions for the breed usually found in males.
Ketama is the center of attention on her walks.
Monique said: “For her breed, she’s an exceedingly long girl. She is longer than most of the females of her breed I have seen. She has the measurements of a boy. We get a lot of attention on the streets. There are not a lot of breeds like Ketama over here. And also, when I am walking her, she has so many leashes on. She wears a collar, and a safety harness. Because she’s so very slim and agile, she can escape easily from a normal harness or only her collar.”
Ketama is a very intelligent, kind, gentle dog. She always loves to be around people and often asks for affection. Like all dogs, she can be goofy, but all of her mischiefs are forgiven. Her owners hope that because of Ketama’s peculiarity, they will draw the attention of animal advocates to the problem of the mistreatment of Spanish Galgoes. | <urn:uuid:bf1b32f8-c032-4070-bf4f-8019567d3df6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://the-cutest.com/dog-looks-like-a-giraffe-thanks-to-its-unusual-physical-feature/ | 2023-09-27T12:38:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.977801 | 408 |
Developing the Fruit of the Spirit (Part 1)
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Galatians 5:22-23a
You may say that you are seeing some of the fruit of the Spirit in your life, but not all of them. What do you do? The first step would be John 15:5, “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” To bear fruit we MUST abide in Christ. To abide in Christ, we must be in the Word of God (John 1:1, John 1:14). There is no substitute for Step 1. It is a prerequisite / requirement for bearing fruit. For the second step, let’s look at the natural process for developing fruit in the world.
If you have studied gardening you know that fruit and vegetables have companion plants. For example, people normally plant corn, beans, and squash next to each other. This is known as the three sisters approach. As the corn stalks grow, beans naturally find support by climbing up the corn stalk. Beans put nitrogen in the soil, which supports the nutritional needs of the corn. The squash grows rapidly with large leaves that shade out weeds and serves as a natural weed block. So, one fruit helps the other and vice versa. This also applies after the fruit has been picked. If you have a tomato plant which is being weighed down due to the number of tomatoes on the plant, you will need to pick some of those tomatoes early. Now you have fruit that is not yet ripened. The solution to ripen this tomato and turn it from green to red is to place it with other fruit, such as a banana, apple, pear, etc. Certain fruit emit ethylene gas which regulates the speed of the plant’s growth and development. If you place a banana with a green tomato, the ethylene gas emitted from the banana will ripen the tomato. As natural fruit helps develop and ripen other natural fruit, our Spiritual fruit follows the same process as we abide in the vine / Word of God (John 15:5).
Developing the Fruit of the Spirit (Part 2)
Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:8a
You can tell if your fruit is developed by what comes out of your mouth when the fruit is squeezed in challenging situations (Luke 6:45). What do you say when someone cuts you off in traffic, says something rude to you, you get a bad report from the doctor, etc.? Does a ripe red tomato wither and turn green when a storm comes? NO, because that fruit is ripe and developed, it weathers the storm. When you squeeze a ketchup bottle, ketchup will come out. When you squeeze a lemon, lemon juice will come out. When challenges squeeze Christians, the fruit of the Spirit should come out! Our fruit should always be ripe regardless of what happens to us. If it is not, follow these steps.
Step 1: Identify the fruit that you need to work on, such as patience.
Step 2: Affirm yourself. Romans 4:17b says that God, “calls those things which do not exist as though they did.” Declare that your fruit is ripe. I am a patient person and will exhibit patience with everyone.
Step 3: Focus on developing the fruit of love and self-control, the bookend fruit. 1 John 4:8 says, “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” Since God is love, as you draw near to God (James 4:8) by reading His Word (John 15:5), you will see His love for you and be able to walk in love much easier. Self-control is developed from simple discipline. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9:27, “I discipline my body and bring it into subjection.” You must tell your body what it is going to do. DO NOT let your flesh tell you what you are going to do!
Once these fruit are developed, we can use them to develop and ripen our other fruit of the Spirit. If we put our developed fruit in situations with our undeveloped fruit, they will develop and ripen. Now as you have an issue with kindness or patience, focus on love. 1 Corinthians 13:4a says, “Love is patient, love is kind.” Love will help develop patience and kindness. After all Colossians 3:14 says, “Over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. So even when someone does something rude to you and you think you cannot be patient or kind to them, love them. Matthew 5:44 says, “Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.” | <urn:uuid:358181df-30bd-4005-bddb-e716dad2528e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://theaimchurch.com/september-2017-words-life-week-4/ | 2023-09-27T10:59:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.957216 | 1,052 |

Being an art teacher means keeping supplies in check, ordering more when needed, making art examples, teaching techniques, and more! But after students make the art, what happens to it? The work in progress needs storage space. The finished work needs to be organized for students to take home or matted, mounted, framed, and stored until it’s ready to go on display. While it takes a lot of time and space to display work properly, it’s well worth it because it makes students feel included, part of a community, and empowered.
If you don’t know where to start or you want to revamp your process and make things more efficient this year, the first thing is to assess your space and configure your room in a functional way. Take the ideas below and adapt them to what will work for you, your artists, your style, and your classroom.
Work in Progress
Work in progress (WIP) are projects students are in the middle of creating. The video below includes a great compilation of how to store in-progress works including two- and three-dimensional artworks and sketchbooks.
1. Folders and Portfolios
At the beginning of the year, have students make their own folders. These can be standard-sized or larger for DIY portfolios! Use a piece of manilla paper folded in half, old file folders, two pieces of cardboard, or even paper taped together. Label each folder with the student’s name, class period, and/or homeroom teacher. That way, if students forget to put names on their artwork but store them in their folders, you will still know whose they are! The folder can also double as a spot to store graded work, handouts, small collage pieces, and more. Watch the video below to see how Mariana VanDerMolen uses folders in her elementary art room.
2. Shelving with Boxes or Bins
Finding sturdy shelving is a must. Place a class set of artwork in individual boxes or bins to stay organized. Check out the copy room for empty paper boxes, groceries stores for larger heavy-duty cardboard boxes, and the dollar store for affordable plastic bins or paper trays. Depending on the dimensions of your boxes and bins, you can store two- or three-dimensional work this way.
A flat file storage system is ideal for large two-dimensional work. However, if you cannot get your hands on one and you are handy, you can make your own like in the tutorial video below.
Because many sculptures take up extra room and are hard to stack or consolidate, space is usually an issue. But do not let storage challenges deter you from bringing sculpture to your students! In a pinch, any empty cart, shelving, top of cabinets, or window sill will work.
Watch the video below to see how Keisha Casiano got amazing rolling storage racks from her PTA and local businesses.
3. Drying Racks, Window Sills, and Clotheslines
Storing wet work like paintings or sticky projects can get messy. Coordinating the timing of drying projects and swapping them out for the next class can be tricky, especially if you have back-to-back or multiple classes. This can get even more complicated if projects require extended drying time, such as overnight.
Having multiple drying racks is ideal. If you are storing multiple classes’ work on one rack, use masking tape to make “flags” and label where one class starts and ends. This way, you can easily keep class sets together and you don’t have to sort through piles of artwork the next day.
If drying racks are not an option, opt for a window sill or flat space that can handle the work for a day. If you have a large classroom, lay out some bulletin board paper or a disposable tablecloth and place the work on the floor to dry! A thrifty idea is to hang a clothesline in your classroom and use clothes pins to hang the work. Just be careful using this method with extra drippy projects!
Watch the video below to see how Andrea Wlodarcyzk reimagines her existing wire shelving to store two- and three-dimensional projects!
4. Sandwich Bags and Envelopes
Never underestimate the power of a sandwich bag or an envelope. They’re not just for storing PB&J sandwiches or mailing letters! Both store lots of small parts, cutouts, or pieces. Adhere the bag or envelope to the inside cover of a sketchbook or folder so it stays put to reuse all year. Baggies are also perfect to send small artwork home, such as pinch pots, and you can buy them in bulk!
Finished work is artwork students have completed. You probably have piles waiting for grades or graded work waiting for display space. You can showcase work in your classroom or school halls. Branch out and display work in your district office building, town hall, or public community spaces. Check out the video below for clever ways to exhibit finished artwork.
1. Cork Strips and Bulletin Boards
Cork strips are convenient because work can be quickly stapled or thumb-tacked in place. These are great to hang in smaller spaces, such as above lockers in main hallways.
Bulletin boards are the most common space to display two-dimensional work, salon-style. If you don’t have any in your classroom, you can DIY boards on a thrifty budget, like in the video below. Make it even more cost-effective and ditch the fancy frame in lieu of foam core backing.
2. Hanging Ladder and Clothesline
A fun and makeshift way to hang work on a cinderblock wall is by using a hanging ladder or clothesline. Rig one out of string and use clothespins or paper clips to hold the work in place. Watch the video below to see how Sarah Krajewski made a hanging ladder with free paint stir sticks. Or, string a clothesline in front of a window and hang double-sided work for twice the display space.
3. Display Case or Window Sill
For three-dimensional works, a display case is an ideal choice because it protects the work. Unfortunately, not every school has a display case or there are very few due to cost and space. Another great place to exhibit sculptural pieces is on top of the short bookshelves in the school or public library. Reinvent an old book or media cart for a display case on the go, like in the video below! Cover with colored bulletin board paper or give it a quick coat of spray paint. Place the work on the shelves and roll it into place.
Whether your students have work in progress or completed pieces, choose the best way to store and exhibit art that works for you, your artists, and your classroom. The good news is, there are so many options and they don’t all have to break the bank! Although it takes time and space, it is always worth the extra effort to display student work. It advocates for your program, gives the students a sense of pride and accomplishment, and beautifies the space it’s in. Get a headstart this school year—select some methods from the list above to implement now so all you have to do later is add a few clips and staples for a fabulous and professional-looking display!

Had Brooks’ Queen Of The Boogie and more
11th March 2016
Title: Queen Of The Boogie and more
Back in the early 40s, it was proving tough for the major labels to supply the market with records due to a shellac shortage and, arguably more importantly, a recording ban. Independent labels did their best to take advantage of this. One new company, Modern, did just that after the owner, Jules Bihari, found Hadda Hopgood, playing classical music on the piano of a Hollywood music shop. Asked if she could tackle boogie woogie, she was to change her name to Hadda Brooks, pumping out a stream of R&B works for the label.
Hopgood created a bunch of excellent vocal tracks but the majority of the tracks on this CD showcase her instrumental talents. In four years (interrupted by 10 months of a further recording ban) she cut around 100 discs for Modern, which is pretty prolific stuff. Some of those cuts were alternative takes, yes, but that’s some going some, even so.
Most of the tracks on this CD have never been issued before and most are taken from the original Modern acetates, so sound quality is excellent.
Check out Brooks’ boogie take on a range of classic music such as Minuet In G Boogie and Schubert Serenade In Boogie. What takes my ear, though, is Brooks’ ability to extract boogie rhythms from pop hits such as Sleepy Time Gal which end up gently swinging via Brooks’ excellent technique.
Brooks might be largely forgotten now as an artist but her essential work on developing jazz and boogie woogie helped to mutate it into the sort of R&B that would eventually transform itself into full blown rock’n’roll.
Brooks was a prolific artist, still recording, off an on, though the 80s and 90s. She died in 2002 at the age of 86. | <urn:uuid:9b3740f8-2e14-4034-93af-e6402173dd83> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://theaudiophileman.com/hadda-brooks/ | 2023-09-27T11:11:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.966925 | 416 |
Looking for some fun Canada facts? Then you’ve come to the right place, as we share some awesome facts about Canada.
We’ve fallen in love with the country and now call it home in the Canadian Rockies. After visiting 85 countries we’ve hardly seen a place more beautiful.
Fun Facts About Canada
1.) Canada is a monarchy.
Yep, Canada has a Queen/King. It’s the same as the UK’s – Queen Elizabeth II (now King Charles III). That’s because Canada is a member of the British Commonwealth, having formerly been a colony of the British Empire.
Though it became self-governing in 1867, there was a way to go before Canada actually became independent.
2.) There are two official languages in Canada.
Britain wasn’t the only power-hungry colonial power at the time of Canada’s pioneering days. There was also France, who once owned much of North America for a while.
That didn’t last, but what did last was the culture and the language of France. Today, English and French are the most widely spoken languages in Canada.
3.) Canada is the world’s second largest country.
This is one of those super important Canada facts to know! You may have been thinking of China, or maybe the USA, but no – it’s Canada. How big are we talking? 9.98 million km². Of course, just in case you were wondering, Russia is the biggest.
4.) Canada has the longest coastline in the world.
There are so many reasons to visit Canada, and this is one of them! Have you seen a map of Canada? All those islands and jagged, irregular lines that mark where the land ends? There’s a lot of that kind of thing going on. It all adds up to the longest coastline in the world at over 125,500 miles. This one is another one of my favorite Canada facts!
5.) Canada also has the longest international border.
This giant country’s only land neighbor is the United States, and since they’re both pretty big, you can expect that border to be big, too. It’s the longest border between two countries (well, the southern border) at a very long 5,525 miles.
6.) The word Canada is derived from an indigenous word.
And that word is kanata, which means “settlement” or “village” in the language of the St. Lawrence Iroquoians. Sadly, these indigenous people disappeared in the 16th century, during wars with the Mohawk who wanted a monopoly on trade with Europeans at the time.
7.) The French and British weren’t the first Europeans to colonize Canada.
It was the Vikings. Namely, it was Leif Erikson who led the expedition in around 1000 AD; he was the grandson of a Norwegian Viking who was exiled to Iceland for “some killings.”
The Viking settlement was in Newfoundland, known to them as Vinland (named for its vines that enabled them to produce great wine, apparently). It only lasted a few years, but it made an impact in the Icelandic Sagas – and on the native Inuit population at the time.
8.) The next person to claim Canada was an Italian working for the English.
Commissioned by King Henry VII of England, Venetian explorer John Cabot (Giovanni Cabotto or Zuan Chabotto) explored the Atlantic Coast of Canada in 1497. He claimed it for England.
His son, Sebastian, continued exploring North America but returned to England only to find a new king – Henry VIII. He wasn’t interested in exploration at all.
9.) There was a war in Canada called the “Beaver Wars.”
No, really, there was. But despite the name, it was a pretty brutal conflict and is considered one of the most bloody in North American history. Basically, in the 17th century, the Iroquians wanted to dominate the fur trade in the region and enlisted the help of England. Rival nations sought the help of France. The result? Bloodshed that ended in a stalemate.
10.) Canada’s national animal is actually a beaver.
It played a pretty crucial role in the history of Canada, what with all the fur trappers, traders, and battles over who would be the fur king of the region. Then there are the poor beavers themselves, almost hunted to extinction! Well, at least they became the national animal of Canada in 1975. They’re on the Canadian nickel, too.
11.) There are a lot of famous Canadians Living in the US.
Seth Rogan, Mike Myers, Justin Bieber, Michael Buble, Alanis Morisette, Keanu Reeves, Jim Carey, Celine Dion, Neil Young, Drake… The list could go on. Basically, there are a lot of people from Canada who influence popular culture as we know it!
12.) The coldest ever recorded temperature in Canada is -63°C.
A cold and interesting fun Canada fact. If you thought winter was cold where you’re from, Canada is colder. And yes, that really is the coldest temperature to have ever been recorded in Canada.
That was in Snag, Yukon and yes: it was -63°C (-81.4°F). The coldest average temperature in Canada is in Eureka, Nunavut, where it’s -19.7 °C (-3.5 °F) on average, all year. Wow.
13.) Quebec is the only walled city in North America.
A little known fact about Canada is that it boasts the continent’s only walled city – north of Mexico, that is. But yes; Quebec’s city walls were built in the 17th century. Then when British forces captured the city, they made the walls even better. They’re pretty well preserved and today are a UNESCO World Heritage site.
14.) Loonies and Toonies
One of the most fun facts about Canada is this one! First off, there’s the “loonie,” which is a $1CAD coin. We get this one, because on one side of the coin there’s a depiction of a loon – that’s a duck-type thing (a waterfowl, if you want to be picky). Then there’s the “toonie,” which we get less. It’s a two-dollar coin, so we guess it’s “toonie” like “two-nie.” A pun of the highest degree.
15.) Canada has a different Thanksgiving to the United States.
That’s right; not all Thanksgivings are the same. Instead of sometime in late November, like in America, Canada celebrates Thanksgiving in the middle of October. They also eat different dishes in Canada compared to the USA.
16.) Canada has one of the highest immigration rates in the world.
Another one of those super proud Canada facts. This is to reunify families, to help support the economy, drive population growth – that sort of thing. Between 1990 and 2008, the population of Canada grew by over 5,000,000. A little known fact about Canada is that annually, it becomes home to around a tenth of the world’s resettled refugees.
17.) There’s more to language in Canada than English and French
With all that immigration, there’s a whole selection of other languages being spoken in Canada. There are well over 1.2 million speakers of Chinese languages, Punjabi-speakers number around 500,000 people, then German, Italian, Tagalog, Spanish, and Arabic all have hundreds of thousands of speakers.
Then there are also 11 different indigenous language groups, which can break down further into 65 actual languages – for example, Inuktitut.
18.) The Northwest Territories recognizes 11 official languages
It might just be the only political subdivision in the world to recognize so many official languages. We’re going to list them here for your curiosity: Gwich’in, Chipewyan/Dené, Inuinnaqtun, Tłįchǫ Inuktitut, Cree, North Slavey, South Slavey, Inuvialuktun, English, and French.
19.) Minus its lakes, Canada would only be the fourth-largest country in the world
It’s a pretty simple fact about Canada that lakes make up a lot of this country. It’s actually home to the highest proportion of fresh water in the world. Let’s not forget that vast portions of the Great Lakes (Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario) are located in Canada as well and Alberta has tons of beautiful lakes.
20.) Canadians love mac and cheese.
One of my favorite Canada facts is that many Canadians love mac and cheese. Or, as they call it, Kraft Dinner. That’s because of the brand, you know, in the box and all. Around seven million of these boxes are sold worldwide each year, and Canada buys a big chunk of them; that’ll be around 1.7 million boxes of Kraft Dinner.
You would’ve thought Americans eat more of it, but Canadian’s eat approximately 55% more mac and cheese than their neighbors to the south do.
21.) Lacrosse is the national sport of Canada.
With its pretty French-sounding name, you might be forgiven for thinking this stick-and-basket sport came across the Pond to Canada from Europe. Lacrosse was actually first played by First Nations people in the 1600s, first picked up by Canada’s Anglophone middle classes in the 19th century, was official – by an act of parliament in 1994 – declared to be the national sport of Canada.
For summer, anyway; ice hockey was deemed the official winter sport.
22.) Canada only officially became independent from Britain in 1982.
Not many people know this fact about Canada, but it was actually still legally dependent on the UK until 1982. Part of this meant that the British Parliament could vote to amend Canada’s constitution – if they wanted to, anyway.
The Canadian Parliament requested in 1982 that Canada be allowed to control its own destiny and voila – full autonomy of Canada.
23.) Canada Day celebrates semi-independence from Britain in 1867.
Back then, the British North America Act of 1867 made Canada a “federal dominion” with more autonomy than it had previously enjoyed. Good news for Canada. Today, Canada Day commemorates this move towards freedom with much merriment – drinking, eating, partying, parades, fireworks, and wearing red and white, of course.
24.) One of the longest highways in the world is in Canada.
Traveling all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, the Trans-Canada Highway is most definitely one of the world’s longest highways. At 4,860 miles long, there’s a lot of scope for road trips along this epic highway. To give it a number, it’s actually the fourth-longest in the world.
25.) The maple leaf has been a symbol of Canada for a long time
That’s right listen up as this is one of my favorite Canada facts. The use of the maple leaf as a symbol of Canada actually dates back to the 18th century. In fact, it was originally a symbol used by French Canadians.
The first mayor of Montreal said of the maple leaf in 1834, “It was the king of our forests, the symbol of the Canadian people.” To blow your minds even more, different colored leaves represented different parts of Canada: Ontario = gold; Quebec = green. It also used to appear on the coins. Now it’s on the Canadian flag.
26.) Toronto has the world’s biggest underground shopping complex
You were thinking Japan, right? Maybe China. But actually, it’s Toronto, Canada, where you will find this feat of engineering. Connecting metro stops and a bunch of office buildings, it’s called PATH and it comprises four million square feet of retail space. That’s wild. It’s a series of tunnels, elevated walkways, and other fancy sidewalks, with the aim of keeping people out of the cold.
27.) Canada has some super grand hotels
There’s a style of architecture called “chateauesque”; it’s based on French Renaissance architecture. A lot of buildings in Canada utilize this style, mainly the epic “grand railway hotels” that were built by railway companies when train travel became a thing in the 20th century. Banff Springs… the Royal York, Toronto… Hotel Vancouver. These hotels are all insanely beautiful!
28.) You’ll find the world’s oldest pool of water in a Canadian mine.
Say what now? Yes. The oldest pool of water. In the world. It’s located around two miles underground in a mine in Timmins, Ontario. The pool bubbles up with mineral-rich water innocently enough, but scientists in 2016 discovered that it’s actually two billion years old. That’s too old to even think about.
29.) Winnie-the-Pooh was named after a bear from Canada.
And it wasn’t Pooh creator A. A. Milne who came up with the name, either – it was his son, Christopher (yep, guess who Christopher Robin is based on). Christopher had seen a black bear called Winnie, after Winnipeg, at the London Zoo and named his own bear after it.
Milne named Pooh after his son’s bear. Case closed. Incidentally, the actual, living black bear was purchased (as a cub obviously) for $20 in Canada by a soldier returning to England after WWI.
30.) The most powerful part of Niagara Falls is in Canada.
Though you can see Niagara Falls from both parts of the border, the Horseshoe Falls – which is the most powerful falls – is in the Canadian section.
Approximately 90% of the water that flows over the falls from the Niagara River crashes down the Horseshoe Falls; the US side comprises the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, where the other 10% flows.
Hopefully, this informed you of some fun Canada facts!

TEXT: PAUL ZITZER, PHOTOGRAPHY: BART JONES
Based on what I’d seen of Alec Majerus, which more often than not was near-flawless displays of trick skating on simulated street environs in an effort to impress judges and score points, I think I could be forgiven for assuming he might be a little, well, lacking in the personality department. Contest robot comes to mind. Sorry. Call it prejudice, bias, or just plain ignorance.
But whatever, we skaters are judgmental—and good for us. But preconceptions are made to be re-concepted, and here we go again. Now I know, Alec kills it just as hard off the board as he does on it. In fact, he rules it. You’ll see. And I guess now that I’m thinking about it, I should have trusted Flip on this one, and Vans, and Volcom, and “757 TMS”…
Alec is not your typical gang member. While he does have the affiliated tattoo, he’s never tried to kill anyone but himself, and only with the highest caliber of moves, like this switch tre. Ch Ch Blaughwww!
How come you dumped a bucket of ice on Louie when he was sleeping?
[Laughing] It was payback for something. We always have wars—it gets annoying sometimes. It just escalates so fast.
I was told you’re a total maniac.
I’m not a maniac.
You’re a gang member, though; are you guys affiliated with the Bloods or the Crips?
No. We’re not that hardcore yet [laughing].
What’s the name of your gang?
757 TMS. It’s not a gang; it’s just me and my friends from when we were little.
Where did the name come from?
TMS stands for Torkelson, Majerus, and Scheopner—our last names. And then they got it tattooed and were like, “you gotta get it.” And I was like, “Fuck it, let’s do it.” So we all have it under our collarbones.
Have you guys killed anyone?
Um, you don’t need to know about that. I’m just kidding—no we haven’t.
What’s the 757?
Those were our favorite numbers [laughing].
Do you really have to drive into town to talk on your phone?
Yeah, I live in Rochester [Minnesota]. It’s in the boonies, like two hours south of Minneapolis. There aren’t too many spots at all.
_I’ve seen your footage; it looks like all the handrails you skate have two feet of landing and then go into grass. _
Yeah, yup, that’s Rochester for you.
How’s the skate scene, though?
It’s not bad. I’ve got a lot of friends who I skate with every day. There’s probably a group of like fifteen of us.
Once Alec moves out to California, he’ll have plenty of rails like this to skate, so hopefully he won’t have to wade into the river near the skatepark to fish out some lousy flatbar ever again. Triple-kink boardslide.
You won Tampa Am.
I got lucky. That was pure luck.
How do you figure?
I didn’t even think I was going to make it to the finals and then all of a sudden I did and I’m like, “What?” And I wasn’t really landing anything in practice, and then all of a sudden I just did it.
But you’re a contest veteran; I feel like you were skating the Dew Tour when you were twelve.
Yeah, something like that.
Are you still?
No. I didn’t do it last year. I’m going to try to focus on street skating.
You were originally a Free Flow Tour champ, right?
Yeah, when I was little I thought it was the coolest shit, so we’d go out and do all the Free Flow contests and stuff. And I won one and they flew me out to Salt Lake City. I won that and then they let me in the Dew Tour.
Louie was saying you guys have different opinions about whether it’s a good idea to skate in a pro contest like that when you’re an unknown am.
He always gave me shit about it. I always thought it was cool. I knew it was kind of gay too, but I thought it would be fun. It was fun.
I hear you’ve been trying to lose your license.
[Laughing] I’ve almost lost it a few times, but I’ve gotten away with it every time. The judge loves skateboarders. He’s like, “My son is a skateboarder; he’d love to talk to you.” So he lets me off, I guess.
Do you know his kid?
I don’t even know his kid at all, no.
You haven’t had to go skate with him for the day to make up for it?
Nuh uh, no.
What’s the fastest you’ve gotten pulled over doing?
One time I was going 120, but when I saw the cop, I slammed my brakes so hard that I was sliding on the highway. By the time he clocked me, he said I was only going 85.
Are you staying in Rochester?
No, I’m actually coming to Cali this Thursday to look at apartments. I’m going to try to move in by August.
You trying to live with anyone?
I think I’m just going to get my own place in Costa Mesa, like a little single-bedroom apartment. But I told all my friends like, “We can fit fifteen people in my apartment. I want all of you guys to come out there with me.” They’re all down, they want to, but it’s hard to find a job and all that, you know? I think a bunch of them are going to try to come out.
Bart said you guys shot a crazy portrait for this—what’s the story behind it?
Oh yeah, I was trying this trick forever. And I was just getting bloodied, and my insides hurt super bad after, and I was pissing blood. And I puked. It was not cool.
You want a super easy way to find out if you’re any good at a trick? Try it at Rincon. Oh, and by super easy we mean crazy hard. Kickflip crooked grind.
Did you go to the hospital?
No, I didn’t.
Did you call your mom and tell her you might be dying?
[Laughing] Yeah, I told her I ate shit super hard and was pissing blood, and she’s like, “Oh, you probably just hit your kidney; you’ll be all right.” I was kind of scared to go to bed, though. I was like, “I’m going to wake up dead.”
Any rivalries back home?
Rivalries, no, everybody here is cool. Except the scooterers at the skatepark. We have this flatbar we brought to the skatepark. And they threw it in the river right next to the skatepark, and then we go get it out, and they throw it right back in the river.
You guys are in a gang—how come you don’t smash them?
Because we’re lovers, not haters.
Scooterers don’t ride flatbars?
I see the scooterers riding the flatbar, but then they throw it in the river. Because they do this train around the skatepark. The bikers, too, they just follow each other around the skatepark; they do circles. And then we set up the flatbar and we land in their way, so we’re always messing up their train. So they get mad, I guess.
Louie said you send him crazy videos of yourself snowboarding.
I snowboard a little bit.
Are those snowboard sponsor-me tapes?
No, not at all. It’s just like in my friend’s backyard. We make huge jumps out of snow. We get so much snow here that it’s easy to just make huge jumps. And we don’t have an indoor skatepark. The closest one is 3rd Lair, and that’s like two hours away.
What’s your best move?
I learned backflips this year. But I’m not that good at snowboarding; I just do it every now and then.
What can’t you do on a skateboard?
I can’t do heelflips at all. No way. When I was little I could do them, but I haven’t done them in forever. And now I can’t do them, and I can’t nollie heel either. Because I tried to do a nollie heel and I missed the flick, and it went right up my butt. It’s happened to me like three times now.
The old oil check.
Yup, I hate that shit. And then I was just trying to do a switch heelflip the other day and rolled my ankle super bad. I always get fucked up on heelflips.
What’s the worst you’ve been hurt?
I had to get double ankle surgery last winter.
Were you in a wheelchair?
No, and it wasn’t mandatory that I get surgery, but I had bone chunks in both ankles. So I did one, and then like two months later I did the other one. I wanted to get them both done at the same time so I could skate sooner, but they wouldn’t let me.

Amid capital flight out of African fossil fuel projects, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), Opoku-Ahweneeh Danquah, says there is a clear impetus for increased involvement of the financial sector in securing long-term capital for oil and gas projects.
Energy investment trends – according to the IEA’s 2022 World Energy Investment Report – highlight a 42 percent fall in global upstream oil and gas investment from around US$680billion in 2015 to US$395billion in 2021. Similarly, global investment in renewable power has seen a 67 percent rise from US$310billion to US$520billion in the same period.
Speaking at the Exploration Financing Forum during African Energy Week in South Africa, the CEO said that there is a global risk of tightening financial markets coupled with the clear and present danger of capital flight out of African fossil fuel projects.
“With African finances only control 11 percent of its fossil projects and 33 percent of its production; a move by foreign investors and companies away from fossil fuels toward renewables creates a significant threat of leaving key African resources untapped (our bread and butter),” he said.
He also mentioned that governments across the African continent can provide enabling momentum to help build local exploration and production (E&P) companies’ operating capacity.
The necessity to plan and execute appealing initiatives in the face of declining fossil fuel funding becomes of even greater importance as global capital becomes scarcer in a volatile industry.
Mr. Danquah noted that protecting returns on investment at both the macro (government) and micro (project enterprise) levels is the foundation for this, especially given that many African initiatives entail frontier exploration that has inherent risks and unforeseen costs.
This will fundamentally require an enabling climate for African financing of projects to flourish.
“…National Oil Companies (NOCs) can be strengthened to lead the charge in exploration,” the CEO said. “Another element that may improve project prospects to attract financing is the availability of strong local capacity.”
In light of the dominance of natural gas in Africa’s fossil fuel discoveries, accounting for about 80 percent of discoveries between 2011 and 2022, Mr. Danquah said governments can further support gas commercialisation by taking a more regional view to expanding market access and developing key infrastructure.
“Importantly, unlike crude oil, monetisation can be more practically achieved by serving proximate markets. Consequently, the benefits of natural gas projects are mostly retained within the continent. This should serve as a strong incentive to increase government-backed financing for projects, especially within frontier basins to de-risk projects and provide energy security,” he said.
Large gas reserves may, for example, be able to efficiently serve regional power pools or gas markets through inter-boundary gas pipelines that connect processing and LNG facilities, or gas-powered electricity generation. For example, according to 2019/2020 statistics from the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP), 69.5 percent of the power supplied to the power pool by Mozambique in 2019 or 2020 was generated from external gas plants.
It is estimated that effective implementation of regional power pools could lower power investment costs in Africa by US$80billion through 2040.
“In this regard, Africa’s growing gas resources and low access to electricity presents the opportunity for regional energy project development, financing and intra-African trade under African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA),” the CEO stated. | <urn:uuid:249bead3-82c6-4acc-8b55-f7cdc082f807> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thebftonline.com/2022/10/20/financial-sector-must-increase-long-term-capital-for-oil-gas-projects/ | 2023-09-27T12:31:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.926378 | 721 |
bCardio Prepare with Ribose Powder
A vegetarian, gluten-free, orange-flavored powdered formula that supports mitochondrial function to help manage fatigue and support cellular function.
We recommend this formula for anyone wanting to increase energy output for athletic performance or to reduce chronic fatigue.
bCardio Prepare with ribose supports:
- Energy via the production and recycling of ATP
- Exercise tolerance
- Cardiovascular output
- Muscle strength and recovery
- Oxygen utilization and physical stamina
- Athletic performance and endurance
- natural energy boosters
- performance enhancement
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a high energy molecule in cells. It is generated within the mitochondria. ATP is composed of adenosine (an adenine ring and a ribose sugar) and three phosphate groups. When in use ATP is broken down to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) to provide energy. Energy from the breakdown of ATP drives many important reactions in the cell. This means that ATP needs to be constantly produced especially during exercise.
Mitochondria are tiny organelles found in every cell in the body. They are known as the “powerhouse of the cell” and are responsible for creating more than 90% of cellular energy. Mitochondria are necessary in the body to sustain life and support growth. They are composed of tiny packages of enzymes that turn nutrients into cellular energy. Mitochondrial failure causes cell injury that leads to cell death. When multiple organ cells die there is organ failure. In adults, many challenges associated with aging have been found to have defects of mitochondrial function.
D-Ribose is a naturally occurring sugar that has been shown to support the production and recycling of ATP which helps to increase energy formation in stressed tissues.
DMG is a metabolic enhancer that helps the body overcome various forms of stress such as aging, poor oxygen availability, free radical damage and supports the immune system. As a methyl donor it contributes methyl groups to keep ATP levels high.
Co Enzyme Q10 is a free radical scavenger and a naturally occurring cofactor in cellular energy. It is vital to the production of ATP. It supports the heart’s pumping ability, blood circulation, helps facilitate tolerance to exercise and helps maintain the heart’s muscle tone. As a powerful free radical scavenger it helps protect heart tissue from free-radical damage. CoQ10 levels decline after the age of 35.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a derivative of the amino acid, carnitine. It supports heart function by transporting fatty acids from the blood through to the mitochondrial membranes and into heart cells so the fatty acids can be converted into ATP. The heart requires a constant supply of ATP in order to provide enough energy for it to keep beating regularly. Malic Acid is involved in energy production in muscle cells. It also supports increased ATP production because it’s involved in the Krebs cycle.
Malic acid is also needed for glucose metabolism, which is important for nourishing muscles and nerves.

A superb Celtic performance tonight has set up the semi-final match that all of us wanted. This club is ready for that game. We could play it right now, I reckon, and be well confident of winning.
It is the perfect draw for other reasons, which I’ll get to soon.
But first, let’s talk about tonight.
That was a superb Celtic display; it was disciplined, aggressive, committed and we got the first goal at the right time. I said earlier that the line-up looked as if we were going for an early strike and we got it.
This team is motoring. We looked at the very top of our game tonight.
Everyone was excellent, but I thought that the midfield was exceptional, and in particular Callum McGregor.
Hatate also looked brilliant in the first half; with the way he plays it was a smart move to substitute him, as Beaton would have looked for any excuse to show him a second yellow.
I’ll cover Beaton and that dire decision of his tomorrow. It’s a goal. I am just not going to discuss it in any detail tonight, save to say what all of us know.
Congratulations to Giakoumakis, because he looks as good as I’ve seen him since he signed.
There was not spectacular about his goals tonight; they were typical striker’s goals. The man is starting to come onto a game and will only keep improving.
The irony is that he might hit form just as Kyogo comes back into the team … what a decision the boss will face.
The draw is the one we wanted because we have a chance to end Ibrox’s season in the space of two fixtures and I reckon we will.
There’s another reason, and it’s a much more personal one. If we get to the final that day will belong entirely to Celtic, without their poison spoiling what will be a momentous occasion for Ange and this team.
We earned that semi-final place tonight with a performance that, coming so soon after Livingston, shows that this side is back to its relentless best. We were missing key players again tonight and you barely noticed their absence at all.
We are well on course for this treble now, folks. | <urn:uuid:a2c394a1-ffbe-4dc3-a3d2-c71fefbb011f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thecelticblog.com/2022/03/articles-and-features/a-superb-celtic-performance-sets-up-the-semi-final-all-of-us-wanted/ | 2023-09-27T11:40:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.984596 | 481 |

When I began looking into a history program to use, one name kept popping up again and again: The Story of the World series by Susan Wise Bauer.
The Story of the World Ancient Times
The Story of the World series follows the classical education scope and sequence for history, dividing it into four cycles.
Four Cycles of Classical History
- Ancients, BC 5000-400 AD
- Medieval/Early Renaissance, 400-1600
- Late Renaissance/Early Modern, 1600-1850
- Modern Times, 1850-Present
I am reviewing the first volume of The Story of the World Ancient Times. It begins with an introduction to history and archaeology and the earliest nomads and proceeds chronologically until the fall of the Roman Empire.
It truly does feel like one is reading a story, not a textbook, when reading Story of the World. The narrative style is very appealing, especially for younger students. I also invested in the accompanying audio CDs, which not only make learning portable, but are very well presented. We sometimes even relisten to chapters we’ve already covered simply because we enjoy listening to them. The suggested age for this book is grades 1 through 4, but students as old as middle school would find it appealing and meaningful.
The Activity Book
The Activity Book is an absolute gem. I can’t imagine going through this book without it.
For each chapter there are:
- review questions
- narration exercises
- encyclopedia cross-references
- literature suggestions
- map work pages
- coloring pages
- project ideas such as crafts, recipes, models, and games
The recommended literature lists alone make this resource worthwhile for me. I’m always looking for living books to read in tandem with the text. The literature is marked as RA (read aloud) or IR (independent reading), and the IR books often have a grade level suggestion as well. These notations make it very easy for me to narrow down which books I will look for or request at my local library.
Other features of the Activity Book:
- Pronunciation guide (which I really should refer to more often)
- Review Cards at the back I only recently discovered the review cards myself, so don’t forget to look for them! These will be great for wrapping up the school year and for when we pick up again in the fall.
In using this curriculum, I have discovered a few drawbacks:
- Because the book is chronological, it often jumps from continent to continent and then back a few chapters later. For older students I don’t think this would be much of a problem, but for students on the younger end of the spectrum it can be a bit confusing. This can be remedied by going through the book out of order. It takes a bit of planning, but is very doable.
- My other problem is that this book has 42 chapters, even though the traditional school year has 36 weeks. Each chapter is so full I found that covering more than one in a week proved to be too daunting. I know that many homeschoolers educate year-round, but it would make my own planning so much easier is Story of the World could manage to squeeze all of ancient history into 36 chapters!
When all is said and done however I, who am not much of a history buff, am really enjoying teaching history, and my daughter proclaims that history is her favorite subject. Actually she says Story of the World is her favorite subject! What better endorsement is there than that?

A collaborative multi-family journey centered on premier indoor air quality and energy efficiency performance!
EnergyLogic, Signature Construction, and Northern Colorado AeroBarrier's team of multi-family building science experts reveal their secrets and share their experience, lessons learned, and critical project milestones along the journey to achieve tight compartmentalization at Lakeview on the Rise, a 17 two-story affordable housing project comprising 180 units.
“We now have the ability to control the compartmentalization through air infiltration mitigation in buildings. This makes it easier than ever to deliver the best possible product to the end client. For Lakeview on the Rise, the units will be compartmentalized, as well as affordable. Adding this layer of accountability to the building process also provides lower cost to the end-user, as well as to the builder. It will be very interesting to see if Signature will see a saving on the warranty side of this building after doing such a great job of compartmentalizing the units with Northern Colorado AeroBarrier.”

There are many types of wool fabrics out there that are being used in different ways. But these days, we are hearing a lot about worsted wool, and why not? After all, worsted wool is one of the most popular fabrics used to make suits for men. Though worsted wool goes back a long time, but it has never been more popular.
What is worsted wool? What are its uses? Is a suit made from this wool lightweight or heavy? This guide will answer all these questions so you have better idea of the fabric, which in turn is going to help you get the best suit for your requirement.
What Is Worsted Wool?
Worsted refers to a combed yarn, which is obtained by rotating metal combos to align long wool fibers and discard the short staple fibers. As a result, what you get is a glossy finish. The yarn is smooth, fine, and long-lasting. The yarn is sleeker, which gives the cloth a sleeker look as well, which is a major reason why most suits today are made from the best quality luxury worsted wool fabric. In fact, the suit you make from this material will always look much sleeker than any other woolen product.
It can also be woven into a thicker and heavier cloth. The finish here will be fuzzier and woollier. Everything depends on what look and feel the weaver wants.
The name ‘worsted wool’ dates back to the 12th century to the city of Worstead in England’s Norfolk County, which was an important center for cloth weaving at that time. But there were other cities in the area too that used to make this wool.
Weight is another key element in worsted wool. Heavier cloth is usually better. They last longer and hang better. But many men now tend to favor lighter cloth as it is more luxurious and better when it is not that cold.
Weight is determined by how the cloth is made and the yarn’s thickness. In the best material, the yarn will be set closely together on the loom. The weft and warp yarns are also woven around each other in a typical way.
Its ultimate use will also determine how the wool will be made and its weight. For instance, sports jackets can be looser and softer, while suits will be heavier. Worsted wool is also used to make blankets.
The construction will also play a role in how well the cloth retains its shape and hangs. A weave that is denser, such as twill, is better, and is thus preferred for trousers or suits.
Sometimes cashmere is included in small amounts to make the feel softer for men who demand a more luxurious feel in their suits, and for sports jackets. About 10% cashmere fiber is spun here with 90% wool. This proportion will make the cloth a bit softer, but it will still perform and hang well. A higher percentage of cashmere will make it baggy and spongier, which isn’t what you want for trousers and suits.
The cloth finishing, which includes milling, brushing, and others can vary with woolens. But with worsted, it is mostly consistent. A close, clean finish gives it the smart and sleek appearance that men love. | <urn:uuid:257f2dbc-9e15-4e2f-b19f-ee9e90b05434> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thefashionengineer.com/worsted-wool-suiting-guide-for-every-man/ | 2023-09-27T11:55:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.969687 | 679 |

You've heard the expression, if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. Well, meet a couple of 92 year old priests still saying Mass and loving the ministry. Our Fr. Joe Grimaldi is 82 and is the pastor of a large church. How do they do it?

'Alone Together', is a total contradiction, except that more and more, it is how people have spent their time since March of 2020. We've discovered that a decent number of Americans are comfortable, and enjoy, rolling solo. Can we apply that going to Mass?

Purple is used at Advent as it is at Lent to represent the penitential nature of the season. In fact, Advent used to be known as “little Lent.” The color is a symbolic reminder for us to be preparing ourselves for the coming of our Lord. | <urn:uuid:74c38f9a-45ff-4ad1-b045-3aaec84ec65b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thefatherjoepodcast.com/website/2022/12 | 2023-09-27T10:53:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.970762 | 193 |
The state of Massachusetts seems to be in a state of panic. Many are wondering what will happen next.
And the Massachusetts Governor has made a decision that left many Democrats shocked.
Massachusetts has been having a hard time dealing with Joe Biden’s border crisis.
They have requested federal aid as their state has become flooded with illegal immigrants from the southern border.
Now, the Massachusetts Governor, Maura Healey, has activated the National Guard in order to get the crisis under control.
The state continues to be flooded with thousands of illegal aliens every day and the state is starting to get desperate.
Fellow Democrats have begged Joe Biden to provide aid and help with the crisis in any way he can.
However, in true form, Joe Biden continues to send billions in aid to foreign countries but refuses to do anything to aid his own allies.
Governor Healey has finally had enough though and has now activated the National Guard.
More than 200 national guardsmen have been activated to help at hotels and shelters providing the “basic needs” for immigrants.
Massachusetts has declared a state of emergency and Governor Healey said that “we need all hands on deck to meet this moment and ensure families have access to safe shelter and basic services.”
There are currently more than 20,000 people living in the emergency shelters in Massachusetts and the majority of these individuals are illegal aliens.
The solution to this ongoing crisis seems to be obvious: shut down the border.
Instead, Joe Biden and even the complaining Democrat leaders of overwhelmed states continue to destroy their own citizens’ lives for the benefit of foreigners entering and living in the US illegally.
The left’s “open border policy” is doing nothing but making things worse for everyone.
Democrats are asking for even more taxpayer money to pay for illegal immigrants’ cost of living.
This model is destroying our country and everything it stands for.
Illegal immigrants should not be allowed in the country in the first place even!
This situation could have easily been avoided if there was a competent President in the White House.
Instead, we have a brain-dead bumbling buffoon who hates America.

Ann Arbor, Michigan: IBKUL, the popular athleisure apparel brand for women and men, announces a new design top for ladies, from the sales of which IBKUL are donating 100% of the gross profits to MercyCorps, a not-for-profit organization that partners with local organizations across Ukraine, to support their efforts on behalf of the millions affected by the war in Ukraine. MercyCorps (www.mercycorps.org) provides shelter, delivers essential supplies, evacuates children and people with disabilities to safety, and performs a variety of life-saving work.
The print features a long sleeve zip mock neck top with Ukraine’s national flower, the sunflower, and their national colors, blue and yellow. The fabric features UPF 50 plus sun protection and IBKUL’s patented Icefil technology which cools your body several degrees in hot and humid temperatures. The stylish and colorful top can be paired with any IBKUL bottom, including the blue solid flounce skort or the blue ankle pant. All pieces feature IBKUL’s soft and lightweight fabric and feminine, comfortable design that enables easy movement.
Jamie Handler, IBKUL President and humanitarian, shared a heartwarming story about how his artwork ideas for the special IBKUL top almost didn’t make it to the designer. Handler and his wife Debby are also dog-lovers and their five adopted dogs contribute to an always hectic environment at home. “The influence for the artwork was all wrapped up in a container ready to be shipped,” explains Handler, “until Ruthie, our Great Dane, got a hold of it and shredded the contents all over the house. I salvaged bits and pieces of the design idea and sent it to our artist, hoping it was enough for her to work with. And thankfully, she was able to come up with the print! So we named the top, ‘Ruthie.’”
Anurag Gauba, COO of IBKUL, says they picked a charity that is best aligned with the company’s philosophy about giving back to people in need and reaching the people of Ukraine directly. “We’ve been impressed with MercyCorp’s work,” says Gauba, “and we are very happy that we’ve had an overwhelming response to this product to date. And it speaks to Jamie Handler’s creativity and heart. He wanted to help the people of Ukraine and made the special Ukrainian-inspired top become a reality. People who know Jamie understand how much he cares for helping others. This truly amplifies what Jamie is all about.”

UPDATE: Partnership extended in 2023
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – LOHLA SPORT has signed highly touted LPGA Tour player Maude LeBlanc to exclusively wear the brand’s premium ladies’ golf-lifestyle apparel in golf tournaments and off-course activities.
LeBlanc’s most recent Top 10 tournament finish was at the JTBC Classic where, at 6’,2”, she wowed galleries with towering drives. She is LOHLA SPORT’s first LPGA Tour brand ambassador since forming a partnership with golf legend Annika Sorenstam in January 2022.
Initially, LeBlanc is wearing coordinated tops, bottoms, skorts and outerwear from LOHLA SPORT’s “The Streets of Los Angeles” collection, notably these capsules:
- Rodeo Drive – Generates the feeling you get shopping on the infamous street – elegant and chic. Colors are black, white and Tiffany blue. The print design is inspired by that of an Hermes scarf.
- Ocean Avenue – Light and breezy, predominant colors are peony pink, Pacific blue and breezy white with a touch of silver. The Radiant Vest is a highlight piece while small checked skorts in peony and pacific create a clean and classic feel.
As the 2022 LPGA Tour season progresses, LeBlanc will add styles from “Hollywood Boulevard,” “Sunset Drive” and “Melrose Place” capsules to her wardrobe.
She will also showcase core styles:
- The Golf Fitness Pull-On Pant – Worn stand-alone (akin to a workout tight) or under skorts in the fall for added warmth and décor, it is purposely thicker, becoming the perfect golf-yoga pant. Its back pockets make it country club appropriate.
- The “Very Pant” – The four-pocket, full, four-way stretch pant is offered in several colors. It was inspired by the J. Peterman character in the TV hit “Seinfeld,” indicating specificity of the surreal or sublime. The famous line “The Very Pant I’ve been searching for all my life” is part of sitcom lore.
“The fabrics are smooth to the skin and neither feel heavy nor warm,” says LeBlanc who, along with LPGA TOUR followers, predicts a breakout year for her. “I love the overall look of the LOHLA SPORT style and even as a woman over six-feet tall, it fits me very well. I also enjoy the comfort and ease of movement it provides during and after rounds of golf.”
Born and raised outside Montreal, LeBlanc’s inherent favor for European designs – along with LOHLA SPORT’s Los Angeles flair appropriate for the American lifestyle – also impressed her. After taking up golf at the age of five and becoming a junior golf phenom in Canada, LeBlanc, now 33, starred at Purdue University.
“Universal feedback about LOHLA SPORT is that its ‘buttery soft’,” says Lisa O’Hurley, Founder and CEO of LOHLA SPORT. “Golfers also tell us that our tops are proportionately long, so they don’t untuck during swings – that’s important.”
LeBlanc and O’Hurley were introduced by mutual friend Peter Jacobsen, winner of 18 professional tournaments worldwide, including seven on the PGA TOUR.
LOHLA SPORT’s “Made for Play” mantra isn’t relegated to golf as its sporty looks confidently transition from the course to the office to socializing with friends and family. Colorful, on-trend and feminine designs are cut to be flattering yet not overtly sexy. The brand’s comfortable chic aesthetic is creating a “golfleisure” movement akin to LuLulemon and the “athleisure” craze.
Based in Los Angeles, California, LOHLA SPORT is a premier ladies’ golf-lifestyle apparel brand that is captivating the golf, country club and resort market. Debuted in January 2021, its impeccable sense of style features colorful, on-trend European designs with Los Angeles flair. The brainchild of recognized fashionista and longtime Golf Channel and GOLFINO executive Lisa O’Hurley, LOHLA SPORT boasts a classy and playful lineup of tops, bottoms, skorts and outwear in coordinated collections online and in 300-plus exclusive golf shops across America. Outfits confidently transition from the course to the office to socializing with friends and family. Especially popular are its signature “Golf Fitness Pull-on Pant” and “The Very Pant,” a play on “Seinfield” in which, O’Hurley’s husband, actor John O’Hurley, starred as the fictional character J. Peterman. Big-name golf and fashion media praise LOHLA SPORT for its refreshing looks as well as designers O’Hurley and London-based Paul Rees who made his name with Burberry and Aquascutum.

Certified Turf Equipment Manager and Reel Turf Techs Podcast founder recognized for making a positive impact on the turfgrass equipment management industry
Lawrence, Kan. – Trent Manning, CTEM, eight-year GCSAA member and equipment manager at both Ansley Golf Club at Midtown in Atlanta, Ga., and Ansley Golf Club at Settindown Creek in Roswell, Ga., is the winner of the 2022 Edwin Budding Award from the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA).
The Edwin Budding Award, named for the inventor of the lawn mower, is given annually to an equipment manager or related innovator, technician or engineer who has made a significant impact on the golf course and turf industry.
Manning began working at Ansley Golf Club at Settindown Creek at the age of 16 with Courtney Young, CGCS. He later moved to an assistant technician position under equipment manager Larry Freeman. Manning would question Freeman about how the equipment worked and how to fix it. From there, Manning worked his way up from crew member to equipment manager.
“The turf industry picked me,” Manning said. “Most of what I’ve learned over the years I picked up from the experienced and knowledgeable technicians I’ve been fortunate to work with, starting with Larry Freeman and including many legendary Atlanta-area techs.”
Manning earned certificates in small engines, electrical and reel theory from Gwinnett Technical College in Lawrenceville, Ga. After working in several aspects of the golf and sports turf industry, including as a Toro Co. mobile service technician, Manning returned to his original home at Settindown Creek course at Ansley Golf Club in 2010, again under the leadership of Courtney Young, CGCS, director of agronomy and 38-year GCSAA member.
Young has been a huge mentor to Manning, pushing him to step outside of his comfort zone and explore opportunities to better himself and the industry. Manning has also taken advantage of professional development opportunities over the years with Toro and John Deere education for technicians, the Georgia GCSA and GCSAA.
“I’m so fortunate to be a part of an industry with so many great people who have huge hearts and are willing to give so much,” Manning said. “I learned so much from being involved on the ground floor of developing the Certified Turf Equipment Manager program and achieving my CTEM this year was a great educational experience, too.”
Manning launched the Reel Turf Techs (RTT) Podcast in March 2021, which has amassed more 30,000 downloads in the last two years. Manning created the podcast “to highlight the stories of turf technicians and equipment managers worldwide.” Since its launch, RTT has become a community for technicians and equipment managers to connect, collaborate and help solve problems faced on the golf course.
In addition, Manning helps the Georgia GCSA develop equipment manager education and has served on the GCSAA Equipment Managers Task Group for GCSAA. He completed the GCSAA Equipment Management Certificate Program Levels 1 and 2 on the way to earning his CTEM designation.
“Manning fosters a positive and supportive community for technicians and equipment managers in the turfgrass industry,” GCSAA CEO Rhett Evans said. “His initiative and proactive approach in the profession is remarkable, and we are grateful for the opportunity to reward and recognize all his hard work via GCSAA’s Edwin Budding Award.”
Manning will formally receive the Budding Award at the 2023 GCSAA Conference and Trade Show in Orlando on Feb. 9 during the CTEM recognition ceremony.

Cybersecurity teams from Microsoft on Saturday disclosed they identified evidence of a new destructive malware operation dubbed "WhisperGate" targeting government, non-profit, and information technology entities in Ukraine amid brewing geopolitical tensions between the country and Russia.
"The malware is disguised as ransomware but, if activated by the attacker, would render the infected computer system inoperable," Tom Burt, corporate vice president of customer security and trust at Microsoft, said, adding the intrusions were aimed at government agencies that provide critical executive branch or emergency response functions.
Also among those affected by the malware is an IT firm that "manages websites for public and private sector clients, including government agencies whose websites were recently defaced," Burt noted.
The computing giant, which first detected the malware on January 13, attributed the attacks to an emerging threat cluster codenamed "DEV-0586," with no observed overlaps in tactics and procedures to other previously documented groups. It further said the malware was found on dozens of impacted systems, a number it expects to increase as the investigation continues.
According to Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC) and Microsoft Digital Security Unit (DSU), the attack chain is a two-stage process that entails —
- Overwriting the Master Boot Record (MBR) — the first sector of any hard disk that identifies where the operating system is located in the disk so that it can be loaded into a computer's RAM — on a victim's system to display a fake ransom note urging the target to pay an amount of $10,000 to a bitcoin wallet
- A second-stage executable that retrieves a file corrupter malware hosted on a Discord channel that's designed to search for files with 189 different extensions, then irrevocably overwrite their contents with a fixed number of 0xCC bytes and rename each file with a seemingly random four-byte extension.
The malicious activity is "inconsistent" with cybercriminal ransomware activity for reasons that "explicit payment amounts and cryptocurrency wallet addresses are rarely specified in modern criminal ransom notes" and "the ransom note in this case does not include a custom ID," Microsoft said.

The development comes as numerous government websites in the Eastern European country were defaced on Friday with a message warning Ukrainians that their personal data was being uploaded to the Internet. The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) said it found "signs" of involvement of hacking groups associated with the Russian intelligence services.
"Given the scale of the observed intrusions, MSTIC is not able to assess intent of the identified destructive actions but does believe these actions represent an elevated risk to any government agency, non-profit or enterprise located or with systems in Ukraine," the researchers cautioned.
However, Reuters earlier today raised the possibility that the attacks may have been the work of an espionage group linked to Belarusian intelligence that's tracked as UNC1151 and Ghostwriter. "Multiple significant intrusions into Ukrainian government entities have been conducted by UNC1151," cybersecurity firm Mandiant disclosed in a report in November 2021, pointing out the group's operations as those aligned with Belarusian government interests. | <urn:uuid:d2db9535-4c36-4318-9c11-630bc2e0dd1c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thehackernews.com/2022/01/a-new-destructive-malware-targeting.html | 2023-09-27T12:56:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.957793 | 671 |
Effective deworming is critical to help protect animals against potentially deadly internal parasites. Parasites can cause dangerous infestations that affect the major organs of the animal causing life threatening conditions. Consider the definition of the word parasite. A parasite is any organism that lives in or on an organism of another species (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other’s expense. All animals have parasites to a certain extent but keeping them regularly treated and free from infection is the key to your animal’s health and longevity. Although removal of these parasites is vitally important, it can be difficult to treat certain types infestations safely. Parasites can become quite at home in the body of your animal and do not want to leave. How a dewormer removes parasites from the animal (known as it’s mode-of-action) plays an important role in establishing efficacy and safety.
Fenbendazole, the active ingredient in Fenben™, is different and that’s what makes it special than other medications. Fenben™ has a unique mode-of-action that makes a toxic environment to even the most dangerous parasites. And yet it remains very safe to its animal host. Fenbendazole creates a gentle slow saturation of the molecule within the animal that is able to penetrate deep enough in the most difficult places. Fenben™ acts as a larvicidal treatment for stubborn L3 and L4 small strongyles and why it is also effective against the Ivermectin resistant ascarids.
To understand how this is possible, let’s dive deep into the cells of the parasite. All animal cells contain structures called microtubules. It is here where fenbendazole binds to the beta tubulin within the cells of the parasite. This potent disruption inhibits the parasite’s ability to produce energy; starving the parasite until it dies. Fenbendazole is unique because it is more attracted to parasite beta tubulin than that of the animal being treated. This means the animal cells are not destroyed along with the parasite. This is why fenbendazole is so effective, yet safe. This makes Fenben™ safe for many animal species and it has also been proven safe for the environment. The science of fenbendazole is what makes Fenben™ a great choice for effective and safe treatment of the most dangerous animal internal parasites.
