When most people think of architect Robert Reichert, they think of the Egan House, which was Seattle's first foray into the world of expressive modernism. Some of the same characteristics from that home also show up in the 2-BR house at 2500 3rd Ave W in Queen Anne, which Reichert built for himself and his mother in 1954. The most striking similarity is the original shed-roof massing, which has a strong influence on many of the rooms inside. An upstairs office nook feels much more like it's own closed-in space rather than an open one. The house's tall form also had a practical reason. Reichert installed an organ and needed height for the instrument's pipes that rose from the music room. He considered the home itself such a form of self-expression that the original black & white patterned exterior, which included bold graphics, stood out sharply from the surrounding houses in the neighborhood. So much so that years later it was unfortunately painted over so that the home would fall back into lockstep with it's neighbors. Asking $549K, the 1,400 sq. ft. house remains a Seattle architectural document worth preserving, even if it's merely a shell of it's former self.

There may be rare instances when an individual meets a MINE criterion, and a MIE or
vocational diary is also appropriate. This includes situations where the case facts
(e.g., recent surgery) strongly suggest that the MIRS criteria will almost certainly be met by the proposed diary
date. (See DI 26525.025B. for MIE diary guidelines and DI 26525.050 for vocational diary guidelines).
EXAMPLE: This example relates to evaluation of angina under the impairment criterion in DI 26525.045B.2. (impairment code 4130). For an individual who is currently age 48, whose alleged
onset date is 6 months ago, and who is 3 months post-cardiac bypass surgery for angina:
Set a MIE diary when the individual is currently demonstrating significant improvement
and has no other impairments, and vocational factors are favorable.
Do not set a MIE diary if the individual has other chronic or progressive impairments,
adverse vocational factors at the time of diary maturity, and a maximum residual functional
capacity for a limited range of sedentary work. | <urn:uuid:dfd950d3-c57f-4c99-ad8d-6151252fd240> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.NSF/lnx/0426525040 | 2023-09-28T18:05:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.889243 | 241 |

- If suspected of child abuse or dependant adult or elder abuse, the therapist is required to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
- If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person, the therapist is required to notify the police.
- If a client intends to self harm, the therapist will make every effort to work with the individual to ensure their safety. However, if an individual does not cooperate, additional measures may need to be taken.
- If client records are subpoenaed by a court of law.
- If case files are randomly chosen for assessment by a therapist’s regulatory body.

How long will coaching last?
Coaching sessions are usually one hour or 75 minutes in length, depending on need and client request. Clients will discuss appropriate session length with their coach.
Each individual is unique and consequently, the length of coaching depends on individual needs, motives, wishes and expectations for change.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches. To-date, EMDR therapy has helped millions of people of all ages relieve many types of psychological stress. Click here to obtain the more detailed EMDRIA definition of EMDR therapy.
Is EMDR therapy an evidence-based practice?
Yes. EMDR therapy is listed on SAMHSA’s National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP). Click here for more information.
What is an EMDR Therapist?
In order to properly identify oneself as an EMDR therapist, the clinician must have completed the EMDR Therapy Basic Training as provided by an EMDRIA approved trainer. The EMDR Institute and Humanitarian Assistance Program (HAP)/Trauma Recovery are EMDRIA approved providers of Basic Training. (Note: PESI and The Bodymind Institute are not EMDRIA Approved Basic Training providers. For more information, click here.)
What are the requirements for EMDR Therapy Basic Training?
The Basic Training consists of 20 instructional and 20 supervised practicum hours in addition to 10 hours of consultation with an EMDR Approved Consultant or Consultant-in-Training (i.e., Part 1 & 2 w/ consultation). For more information, click here. To learn about eligibility to attend an EMDR Therapy Basic Training, click here.
Prior to 2007, clinicians were identified as Level I EMDR therapists after completing the first weekend of training and identified as Level II EMDR therapists after completion of the second weekend of training. The requirements changed in 2007 and now a clinician cannot be identified as an EMDR therapist until completion of both weekends of training (i.e., Part 1 and Part 2) as well as 10 hours of consultation with an Approved Consultant (and received the certificate of completion from the trainer). Until that time, the clinician is designated as a partially trained EMDR therapist. (The deisgnations of Level I and Level II are no longer used.) For information about the EMDRIA approved Basic Training curriculum, click here. Note: Beginning January 1, 2017 participants who begin the EMDR Therapy Basic Training must complete the entire training within 24 months from their initial start date unless there are extraordinary circumstances.
Is there a list of Approved Providers for EMDR Therapy Basic Training?
Yes. All providers of EMDR Therapy Basic Training are approved by EMDRIA. Click here to view the list. (Note: PESI and The Bodymind Institute are not EMDRIA Approved Basic Training providers. For more information, click here.)
Click on the links below to access lists of approved trainings:
After I complete the EMDR Therapy Basic Training, will I be a Certified EMDR Therapist?
No. Additional training and consultation is required as indicated below.
What is a Certified EMDR Therapist?
Certification is only offered by EMDRIA. A clinician who is EMDRIA Certified in EMDR has been licensed or certified in their profession for independent practice and has had a minimum of two years experience in their field. They have completed an EMDRIA-approved EMDR Therapy Basic Training (i.e., Part 1 & 2 w/ 10 hours of consultation), have conducted a minimum of 50 clinical sessions in which EMDR was utilized with at least 25 clients, and have received an additional 20 hours of consultation in EMDR therapy by an Approved Consultant (or Consultant-in-Training). In addition, the clinician must complete 12 hours of EMDRIA continuing education in EMDR therapy. For more information, click here. To obtain the application for EMDRIA Certification, click here.
EMDRIA Approved Consultants must meet all criteria to be Certified in EMDR. In addition, they must have three years of experience with EMDR after completing an EMDRIA Approved Training Program, have conducted at least 300 hundred clinical sessions in which EMDR was utilized with at least 75 clients, and have received 20 hours of consultation-of-consultation from an EMDRIA Approved Consultant. They must complete 12 hours of EMDRIA continuing education in EMDR therapy every two years. (NOTE: Those applying for Approved Consultant status must already have completed the application process for and been approved as an EMDRIA Certified Therapist in EMDR. A clinician cannot begin to accrue consultation-of-consultation hours until s/he has been approved as an EMDRIA Certified Therapist in EMDR.)
What is an EMDRIA Approved Consultant-in-Training (CIT)?
A CIT is an EMDRIA Certified EMDR therapist who is pursuing status as an Approved Consultant, but has not yet met the full requirements. The CIT can provide consultation to EMDR therapists whether or not they are pursuing Certification. (For EMDR therapists pursuing Certification, 15 of the required 20 hours of consultation can be provided by the CIT.) The CIT receives consultation of consultation from an EMDRIA Approved Consultant (AC). This is a collaborative relationship between the CIT and AC in which the CIT explains and discusses with an AC the consultation that the CIT is providing to partially or fully trained EMDR therapists and provides suggestions for improvement. For more information, click here.

Get an Oil Change in Brookhaven, MS
Is it time for an oil change? Visit the professionals at your local Brookhaven Nissan dealer for quick service. We offer high-quality full synthetic and synthetic blend oils for Nissan vehicles and other cars and trucks.
How Often Do I Need to Get an Oil Change Service in Brookhaven, MS?
Motor oil is responsible for lubricating your engine’s moving parts to help minimize friction. Oil can also help keep the engine parts clean and prevent overheating. [content-text-1-5] Oil also helps clean engine parts and prevent the engine from getting too hot. When you don’t have enough oil or your oil gets too dirty, the moving parts might grind against one another rather than slide, which can result in engine damage. Regularly scheduled oil and filter changes are necessary to help your engine stay in great condition so you can continue exploring Brookhaven roads.
Generally, you can expect to need an oil change around every 5,000 miles or six months (whichever occurs first). The time between oil changes can vary based on your vehicle and driving conditions, so you should look at your owner's manual for your specific maintenance recommendations. You also want to keep an eye out for signs your vehicle might need an oil change, such as a bright Check Engine dashboard light, a strong oil odor in your cabin, weird engine sounds, dark oil (clean oil should be amber) and thick exhaust. If you come across any of these signs, bring your vehicle to your closest Nissan dealer for an inspection and oil change service in Brookhaven, MS.
Find Full Synthetic and Synthetic Blend Oil Changes in Brookhaven, MS
An oil change is not just putting new oil in your car. When you get a Nissan oil change service in Brookhaven, our professional technicians start by draining all the oil in your vehicle.

A dirty oil filter can make your engine oil sludgy and affect its efficiency, so replacing the filter at the same time as the oil is crucial. Our Genuine Nissan Oil Filters feature anti-drainback valves that help reduce engine wear by holding the oil in the filter when the engine isn’t on.
After changing the filter, your technician will refill your engine with high-quality oil. Your Brookhaven Nissan dealer stocks the best full synthetic and synthetic blend oils for your Nissan. At the end of your oil change service, our technicians perform a complimentary multi-point inspection (where available) * to help catch other issues and double-check that your vehicle is working as expected.

Commercial Cleaning Job
This is an example of one of our commercial cleaning jobs we did down in Philadelphia, Pa this past summer. This restaurant called us because they wanted to start having monthly cleanings done by us to make sure their restaurant was being kept in pristine shape. The first time we came out obviously took a little longer as the first clean always is more detailed. We had a team come in over night after the place closed to perform these cleans. As you can see the place was not too dirty just some food left on the floor from dinner service but no major cleaning problems. | <urn:uuid:29c8baba-e565-4cf6-954a-678c8ecaba37> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://servprogermantown.com/before-after-photos/photo/a6dcfbc1-8115-4d35-9c28-b35d25974c2a/commercial/commercial-cleaning-job | 2023-09-28T17:26:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.989338 | 118 |
In today’s real estate market, the majority of home sellers require that a pre-qualification letter be included with a potential buyer’s offer on their home. Although a pre-qualification letter does not guarantee a mortgage loan, it let’s the seller know that the buyer has the purchasing power to make a legitimate offer. So before you begin home shopping, make sure you talk to a mortgage loan officer who can assess your current financial situation and provide you with more concrete information about what you can and can’t afford.
And although you may hear the terms “pre-qualified” and “pre-approved” used interchangeably, they are not the same. Here are what those two terms mean.
Getting pre-qualified for a loan is a very easy process. It’s an initial evaluation of your creditworthiness. You provide the lender your approximate income, the amount of debt you’re carrying, and any other important details from your credit history. The lender uses these figures, which have yet to be verified, to calculate how much money you might be eligible to borrow. The lender may provide you with a pre-qualification letter, which has more details about your likelihood of obtaining a loan.
However, all information you provide during pre-qualification is subject to verification by the lender when you submit your actual loan application. There is no guarantee of a mortgage loan, as your financial situation has not been verified.
Pre-approval means that your financial situation has been verified by the lender. It’s more involved than pre-qualification but still relatively simple.
You will have to fill out a mortgage loan application and provide the necessary supporting documentation. The lender will examine your financial situation—your credit report, your employment history, your income—and decide what interest rate to offer and the maximum amount you would be permitted to borrow.
Although pre-approval provides more certainty to a borrower than pre-qualification, it also does not guarantee a mortgage loan. That involves other conditions, such as an assessment of the property you want to purchase or one that you’d like to renovate.
Before you make plans to spend your mortgage loan, make sure you know how much you can expect to borrow. Talk with your lender and get a professional examination of your financial situation.

Tip: pressing your seams toward the darker fabric enables you to nest the seams in step 4.
2. Combo #2:
Place a light gray strip and a dark coral fabric strip right sides together. Sew along one long edge. Open and press the seam toward the dark coral fabric.
Make 3 strips sets of Combo #2.
3. Trim the ends of the strip sets to make them even.
Sub-cut each strip set into pieces that are 6 1/2’’ wide.
There will be a bit of fabric leftover from each strip set.
You will need 16 pieces from Combo #1 and 16 pieces from Combo #2.
4. Sew one piece from each strip set together as seen to make a four patch block. Repeat to make 16 blocks.
Assemble the Quilt
1. Sew the 16 4-patch quilt blocks into 4 rows, each with 4 blocks. Then sew the rows together.
4. Cut 5 binding strips and bind using your favorite method. This is my favorite quilt binding method.
Use this same pattern to make a 58” square throw quilt! Just add 2” sashing in between your blocks and a 2” border. You will need an additional 1 1/8 yards of fabric for the sashing and border pieces. The example above shows sashing and borders cut from the light gray (or other light fabric).

Teaching programming in one day to people with no programming background at all is challenging, of course. You can't get into any of the details you'd like to cover, like style, or debugging techniques. By the time you get through if-else, for and while loops, some basic display methods, the usual debugging issues like reading error messages, and typographical issues like "Yes, uppercase and lowercase really are different" and "No, sorry, that's a colon, you need a semicolon", it's a pretty full day and the students are saturated.
Last year went pretty well, and in the time since then we've exchanged a lot of email about how we could improve it. We re-ordered some of the exercises, shifted our emphasis in a few places, factored some of the re-used code (like windowWidth()) into a library file so the exercise files weren't so long, and moved more of the visual examples earlier.
I hadn't made a slide for that, so we went to the whiteboard to draw out the image, the location of the mouse click, the location of the image's upper left corner, and figure out the math ... and the students, who had mostly been sitting passively through the heavily slide-intensive earlier stuff, came alive. They understood the diagram, they were able to fill in the blanks and keep track of mouse click X versus image X, and they didn't even have much trouble turning that into code they typed into their exercise. Fantastic!
Remembering that, I tried to use a lot fewer slides this year. I felt like I still needed to have slides to explain the basic concepts that they actually needed to use for the exercises -- but if there was anything I thought they could figure out from context, or anything that was just background, I cut it. I tried for as few slides as possible between exercises, and more places where we could elicit answers from the students. I think we still have too many slides and not enough "board work" -- but we're definitely making progress, and this year went a lot better and kept them much better engaged. We're considering next year doing the first several exercises on the board first, then letting them type it in to their own copies to verify that it works.
And it's always a problem figuring out what the fastest girls should do while waiting for the rest to finish. This year, in addition to trying to make each exercise shorter, we tried having the girls work on them in groups of two or three, so they could help each other. It didn't quite work out that way -- they all worked on their own copies of the exercises but they did seem to collaborate more, and I think that's the best balance. We also encourage the ones who finish first to help the girls around them, which mostly they do on their own anyway.
And we really do need to find a better editor we can use on the Windows lab machines instead of Wordpad. Wordpad's font is too small on the projection machine, and on the lab machines it's impossible for most of us to tell the difference between parentheses, brackets and braces, which leads to lots of time-wasting subtle bugs. Surely there's something available for Windows that's easy to use, freely distributable, makes it easy to change the font, and has parenthesis and brace matching (syntax highlighting would be nice too). Well, we have a year to look for one now.
All in all, we had a good day and most of the girls gave the class high marks. Even the ones who concluded "I learned I shouldn't be a programmer because it takes too much attention to detail" said they liked the class. And we're fine with that -- not everybody wants to be a programmer, and the point isn't to force them into any specific track. We're happy if we can give them an idea of what computer programming is really like ... then they'll decide for themselves what they want to be.

In recent decades, online gambling has significantly expanded in popularity and reach, particularly within the US. Moreover, New Jersey has reaffirmed its status as one of the most progressive states in terms of gambling – players in the Garden State set to receive the first omnichannel wide area progressive (WAP) jackpot in the country, accessible through a Wheel of Fortune slots link.
The International Gaming Technology Company (IGT) have launched this development, facilitating participants to wager on all $1 Wheel of Fortune games across 18 diverse themes in New Jersey online casinos as per NJ.bet (such as betMGM and Borgata). The value of the jackpot is reputed to operate with a baseline $500,000 jackpot reset value, making it one of the highest in the US.
An omnichannel WAP is a type of progressive jackpot system that is linked across a network of virtual and physical casinos, with a prize pool that incrementally increases each time the jackpot is not won. The omnichannel aspect of this jackpot system means that it can be accessed and played across multiple channels, such as land-based casinos, online casino platforms, and mobile apps.
This system is specifically designed to be more fair and transparent for participants through stricter regulations to ensure all players have an equal chance of winning. IGT’s announcement of this new jackpot has established a new cutting-edge form of gambling that has delighted stalwart gamblers in the state and attracted a plethora of first-time participants. Ultimately, the “wide area” aspect of these jackpots makes participation more lucrative, with the final prize exponentially expanding in size over time.
Uncertainty in New Jersey for the future of online casinos
Despite this unprecedented development, the future of online gambling in New Jersey remains unclear. The 10-year online gambling license for the state is due to conclude in November this year, with a bipartisan bill in the stage of final approval to extend this for an additional decade. It is hoped by many lawmakers that this bill will be passed to safeguard the significant state revenues this form of gambling generates.
As previously mentioned, the online gambling sector has witnessed a particularly profitable uptick in participation in recent years in the US as a whole, generating more than $54.9 billion in revenue in 2022 alone. However, many critics of the New Jersey extension have raised concerns about levels of gambling addiction, with many casinos responding by reassuring new responsible gambling measures across their outlets.
Omnichannel WAP jackpots have stimulated healthy competition among casino outlets in New Jersey, revitalizing the industry overall. Through the potential of larger jackpots, casinos are motivated to accommodate an improved overall gaming experience for their patrons. This is the latest development in New Jersey that hints towards a profitable future for casinos and the state as a whole. However, the full extent of benefits for the sector will only fully be realized with confirmation of the online gambling license extension this year. Ultimately, the introduction of WAP jackpots has significantly increased revenue, enhanced the engagement of participants, and stimulated healthy competition among different casinos in the Garden State. | <urn:uuid:686b7430-c465-41ae-add4-c823600eea62> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sharkcasinogames.com/igt-launches-the-first-omnichannel-wap-slots-jackpot-in-the-us-in-new-jersey/ | 2023-09-28T16:58:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.942752 | 633 |

What’s Jewish About Breast Cancer?

When Rochelle Shoretz, Sharsheret’s Founder, passed away, social media was overflowing with articles about Rochelle, her life, her legacy and her organization, Sharsheret. I was amazed by all that she did and accomplished, and by the amazing organization she created. Little did I know that Sharsheret would be the clutch I needed in the coming few weeks. During all of this, one routine test led to more tests, leading to the diagnosis of breast cancer for my mom. My mom has been there for me day and night. Being a full time working mom of three, I had to teach myself as an adult that it was okay to ask your mom for help, and boy have I. But now things would have to change and she would have to take a step back and we would have to focus on her. It was now my job to stand by and be there for my mom in any way she needed or wanted. No one ever wants to hear the word “cancer”, no matter how young or how old you are. But a big lesson that I have learned is everyone has their own way of facing cancer, and whichever way you choose is the right way. I am the type of person that needs to read more, talk about things, and hear other people’s stories. So, I immediately reached out to Sharsheret. Sharsheret was there for me sending me educational materials, for support, and as a friend to “talk” to. I wanted to know everything and be on top of things, and know what can be expected on the cancer road. Nothing about this road has been easy or predictable but I am looking ahead to the light at the end of the tunnel, and I cannot wait to touch that light and sing and dance the happy dance of goodbye to cancer. Most of all I cannot wait to switch back roles and ask my mom for help. | <urn:uuid:8c5226b1-d021-4b3f-a12f-770f10ce41fa> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sharsheret.org/switching-roles/ | 2023-09-28T18:46:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.986538 | 404 |

The redesign of Eleven Madison Park allowed owners chef Daniel Humm and restaurateur Will Guidara to put their aesthetic stamp on the space, reconfiguring the restaurant so the experience is more open for guests and seamless for staff, and celebrating the landmarked building and beautiful community in which it lives. Shawmut collaborated with Allied Works Architecture, Make It Nice Hospitality Group, BuroHappold Engineering, Horton Lees Brogden Lighting Design, and Jacobs Doland Beer to renovate the restaurant in just 56 days. As a result of the team’s exceptional work and final product, the project received an award of merit in the renovation/restoration category from ENR New York’s Best Projects award.
Excerpt from ENR New York
Eleven Madison Park, listed by the restaurant guide World’s 50 Best as among the top eateries globally, received a 9,500-sq-ft renovation to its dining room and kitchen. It happened in just 56 days thanks to intensive preconstruction and procurement processes.
The restaurant is in an occupied building and sits directly above a data center, so workers had to make sure the space had proper protection. Certain parts of the project were also sequenced during off-hours.
The final product was inspired by the neighboring Madison Square Park, reflecting the texture and pattern of foliage. Use of wood throughout gives a sense of the building’s Art Deco history. | <urn:uuid:8e2220dd-7b15-467a-94ef-70a3a6d7bb5f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://shawmut.lionridgedev.com/news/eleven-madison-park-receives-award-of-merit-in-enr-new-york-best-projects-award | 2023-09-28T17:52:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.944987 | 301 |

The theme of “decision-making” is an essential part of every chess game. At every moment of the game, you must make a decision that is not only tactical; as psychology, structural preferences, positional basics and good variation calculation are all part of the process of making the right decision.

On my video course I shed light on various fundamentals in chess, and help to master the right decisions in all types of positions. In a total of 6 chapters, we look at the following aspects: the right decision based on tactical factors, decisions in exchanges and moves, complex and psychological decisions in longer games and in defence. With this, I hope to give the viewer an overall impression of the different phases and areas during a game of chess - with the result of making every player a master in decision-making.

Hosta 'Warwick Comet'
[M] A beautiful plant that I lusted after for years! Nearly round, lightly puckered leaves are slightly shiny and cupped. Like a fiery comet blazing through the night sky, extremely wide, deep green margins surround the narrow, creamy white center Hosta 'Warwick Comet' is a slow, but steady grower that will form a 14" tall by 30" wide clump. Near white flowers in early summer. Stunning!

Welcome to the new PJ Shop! 🌻
Yacon is a species of perennial daisy traditionally grown in the northern and central Andes from Colombia to northern Argentina for its crisp, sweet-tasting, tuberous roots. Also known as Peruvian ground apple, Yacon has a similar texture to jícama. The tuber is composed mostly of water and fructooligosaccharide. Hardy in Zones 5 to 8, but it will produce in cooler climates with just fewer tubers. This is a wonderful, hardy food forest tuber. Plant right after your last frost date and harvest after your 1st hard frost. Will grow up to 8 ft tall!!!

Nan Collymore primarily focuses on materiality and its relationship to the body. Touch and affect play an important role in how she approaches each of her pieces. Nan's aesthetic embraces an openness to nature and an appreciation of the irregularities of form. Her jewelry has unique, rough-hewed qualities that can be seen in the textures, stones, and silhouettes of each piece. The work, while balanced, refined, and artful, retains an organic feel with its distinctive sculptural shapes, and one can almost imagine them as small maquettes for larger-scale art pieces. In addition to jewelry, Nan also creates ethereal stitched and crocheted wall sculptures made from yarn and wire. | <urn:uuid:ed07d04c-c0fa-49f7-80e0-04586a78b001> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://shop.shibumigallery.com/artists/nan-collymore/ | 2023-09-28T18:48:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.960776 | 142 |

Kokeshi Doll by Kei Numao "Cherry Sisters" Japanese Traditional Vintage Handcraft
It is made as a prize for a kokeshi magazine subscriber.
It is quite rare to name a kokeshi as Magnolia at that time.
Very cute kokeshi sisters created by a modern kokeshi artist Kei Numao.
Most of the items I sell are vintage; they are second hand, old, sometimes very old.
I try to describe and photograph my items honestly, however, if the pristine condition is very important to you, I feel you should be buying from a regular shop, where you can inspect the items personally.
PLEASE NOTE: All my items are sold "as is", with no warranty implied, and that the photos form part of the description, which should be read carefully. | <urn:uuid:ebfc1ef3-b7db-41c7-a940-a29802b34fd5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://shop.wanobee.com/products/kokeshi-doll-by-kei-numao-cherry-sisters-wanobee-kokeshi-kimmi-doll-shop | 2023-09-28T18:20:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.937957 | 219 |

Kids Bold, Brave & Beautiful
- Runs Small, Size Up!
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”
2 Timothy 1:7 NLT
“This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.””
Joshua 1:9 NLT
“You are altogether beautiful, my darling, beautiful in every way.”
Song of Songs 4:7 NLT
When we know whose we are we know who we are. God created his daughters to be Bold, Brave & Beautiful! To walk with authority and stand strong in their faith. To not waiver by the opinions of man or of this world. To know who they are in Christ and that the only opinion that matters is HIS and HIS ALONE!
My prayer is that the affirmation tee would be that reminder for our daughters, our friends daughters, our nieces, or youth! That they would know that their worth and value comes from the Lord! For he says who they are. Not a billboard, commercial, magazine or the mean girls at school! That they would walk in their authority and not allow anyone to make them feel inferior.
May we raise girls who know who they are and that they are BOLD, BRAVE & BEAUTIFUL! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 | <urn:uuid:4553d882-9df9-4f91-9df7-a94e7109e0ec> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://shopzoeygrace.com/collections/zoey-grace-littles/products/kids-bold-brave-beautiful | 2023-09-28T17:35:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.947929 | 339 |

Collagen and elastin in the skin naturally break down as we age, creating noticeable lines and wrinkles and causing skin to lose its elasticity and firmness. But what if you could promote collagen and elastin renewal, putting off the aging process to reveal beautiful skin at any age? What is possible? It’s possible with the latest generation of microneedling: Morpheus8 microneedling with radiofrequency (RF), offered in Downtown Summerlin, Las Vegas, NV at Sikara Medspa.
FDA-cleared Morpheus8 penetrates the skin deeper than any other microneedling device on the market. This advanced technology combines the skin renewal of microneedling with fractional radiofrequency energy for advanced skin tightening without surgery.
Morpheus8 microneedling with RF improves:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity
- Acne scars
- Rough texture
- Uneven tone and pigmentation

Lusting for Covers is a weekly meme, held on Sunday, that allows bloggers to share their current cover obsession with fellow book lovers.
This meme is hosted by TBQ @ TBQ's Book Palace.
This Weeks Selection:
The Wicked Duke by Madeline Hunter
Publisher: Jove (May 2016)
Series: Wicked Trilogy, 3
Third in the roguishly intriguing series by the New York Timesbestselling author of Tall, Dark, and Wicked and His Wicked Reputation…
She appeals to his wicked inclinations, but he never expects she might snare his heart…
Suspected of his brother’s murder, Lancelot Hemingford, Duke of Aylesbury, was forced to give up his hell-raising habits in London for the anonymity of quiet country living. So, when an opportunity arises to clear his name in exchange for proposing to the niece of a neighbor, he sees no choice but to accept. Plus, seducing the reluctant maiden will be a most intriguing challenge…
As Marianne Radley is dependent on her uncle, she must accept the Duke’s marriage proposal at her family’s request, despite her belief he is irredeemably wicked. But along with marrying him, she intends to sniff out the duke’s unsavory secrets and expose them to the world: a plan that would be flawless were it not for one minor detail—even she, with all her determination, is not immune to the charms of a rakish duke…
Do I need a reason other HOT! Seriously, look at those abs and the way he's behind that trellis. He makes this cover look good. ;) What do you guys think of the cover pick? | <urn:uuid:b061bfd4-21b7-46bb-bfba-5e9bd38671a2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sillymelody.blogspot.com/2015/12/lusting-for-covers-101-wicked-duke-by.html | 2023-09-28T16:46:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.966524 | 374 |

The 12 week Simon Parker Pilates kick-start programme is designed for when you are in desperate need of help with back pain. In just 12 weeks you will reduce joint and back pain, gain flexibility and mobility, improve core strength & posture, deeper and longer sleep, have more energy on rising and throughout the day, be more confident, perform better at work.
Group Pilates service brings people together to improve their bodies in a relaxed and friendly environment.

My corporate Pilates service can help to reduce sickness rate of employees and increase productivity and moral in the work place. Bodies were not made or designed for long hours of sitting, and these hours contribute to postural problems, back aches and stiff joints. The two main reasons for sick days are down to Musculoskeletal problems and stress.
Online Pilates Classes are a great way to either supplement your Pilates training or perform at home if you are unable to attend. You will be provided with a wide variety of Pilates classes ranging from core and back strength, to stretches and posture. You should be able to find full and comprehensive Pilates plans online that will fit your needs.

It seems as if it is a part of human nature to blame.
We don’t like taking responsibility, we don’t like being wrong and so we blame someone or something else.
It is easier this way and it seems like less work, but does it really help?
We all do it, I do it, my husband does it as do our girls. Blame is the viscous cycle we live in and it creates a platform for excuses.
In the nutrition world we do the same thing.
We love to blame the food industry, the disgusting commercials targeted at our youth, the mixed messages on magazine covers as well as the sickly thin models. I get it. It is confusing and deceiving, making it hard to decipher what the truth is.
Don’t we all know the truth?
I get that our children, our youth need to be taught what is good and what is bad and the consequences of the bad, but as adults we know. Don’t play the blame game. We know that broccoli is healthier than a Big Mac and apples are healthier than fries but we still buy the Big Mac and the fries.
Did you get that? We BUY IT!
And that is really all that matters to the food industry. They win when we buy their products and thus how the cycle of “food products” continues. We can and should fight the food industry at the wrong they are causing such as this group of concerned moms and food bloggers. And we should lobby for rights that consumers have when it comes to foods like labeling.
I applaud them for their efforts.
The truth is that the food industry, they make, they sell, they advertise for the very things we as consumers buy and right now that trend is junk.
Sugary cereals, highly processed “foods” that are cheap and convenient. And then we make excuses that the food industry is making us fat, McDonald’s is making us fat, but isn’t it our choice?
Change your view of buying food and start to think of it as a vote.
If we as consumers bought more organic, real, natural, wholesome foods, the food industry would get it. Majority wins and the more we “vote” by buying good wholesome, healthy foods the harder it is for the food industry to combat it. These healthy products would then get less expensive and become more “convenient.”
I think as a society we need to stop blaming and start taking responsibility.
You as parents can control what foods enter the house and more importantly, teach your kids about the importance of healthy eating. We as adults can be examples to our youth, if we choose to be.
They are watching.
They are curious and as a surprise to many they are willing to try new foods. But we have to give them opportunity to eat healthy and take away the temptation to eat junk.
Our oldest daughter is constantly telling family to “be brave” and try new foods? Why is she doing that? Because that is what we tell her. “Be brave, just try it and you might like it.” Many times she does. Positive experiences make it easier to get her to do it again next time.
Each one of us could make a small change that in the end could change the state of our health.
Be the change you wish to see.
Stop blaming, stop making excuses and start taking responsibility. It isn’t going to be perfect but just working to make a change, a small change will have a lasting impact. McDonald’s doesn’t care about our words or your health, they care about the money.
But what about this?
Isn’t it interesting to see the statistics in percentage of income people have spent on food versus healthcare.
In 1960 Americans spend 17.5 percent of their income on food and 5.2 percent on health care. Since then those numbers have flipped.
Spending on food has fallen to 9.9 percent while spending on health care has soared to 16 percent (1).
I challenge you to put your money where your mouth is.
Start taking responsibility, start making changes and most importantly be an example to those around you. It may cost you a little bit more but in the end it could save you thousands from healthcare bills that could pile on if we continue down the path of processed, fake foods. It is worth it in the end.

President Elect Trump Impact On Pulses
Donald Trump will be the 45th US President when his inauguration takes place on January 20th, 2017. Until this time, there will be speculation as to the impact Trump’s new policies will have on the economy, on trade, and on commodities.
The stock markets really liked the election results and remain bullish. This is opposite to the views the media had prior to the election. This is likely due to Trump winning and both the House of Representatives and the Senate having Republican majorities. This will likely help but not guarantee the adoption of the changes Trump is considering.

#BridgesOfBelonging Celebrates One Year of Meaningful Conversations
We invite you to join the #BridgesOfBelonging Anniversary! We began this journey one year ago – to tell the stories of incredible humans and to celebrate how they show up in the world, because we are curious and want to learn, and also because we believe deeply in the importance of learning about each person, and each story in order to create a better way forward – one that is about celebrating humans and humanity. As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, we are reflecting on the importance of exploring our humanity and in this past year, that importance has been amplified more than ever before.
We invite you to join us in this opportunity to learn, to unlearn, to explore each person and how they are showing up and what they need to be successful. Over this week we are sharing daily highlight reels from some of our 52 guests, and exploring some key themes that have emerged from those beautiful and vulnerable conversations. You can find these highlights on our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfzuehc8wBE0gelKikIXBiV7jNNqVTA0wand) and please join us on social media in celebrating and amplifying these stories during this #WeekOfBelonging!
Thank you for your support over the last year and we are incredibly grateful to our 52 guests who have bravely shared their journeys of belonging with us this year! | <urn:uuid:4601599c-928d-4264-9e99-eb4eaa3c7cdc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sirc.ca/news/bridgesofbelonging-celebrates-one-year-of-meaningful-conversations/ | 2023-09-28T16:34:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.949503 | 308 |
Canada’s Santiago 2023 diving team announced
TORONTO (August 22, 2023) – Diving Plongeon Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee have announced Canada’s diving team nominated to compete at the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games.
The Team Canada diving team for the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games is:
Thomas Ciprick (Baie-d’Urfé, Que.)
Bryden Hattie (Victoria, B.C.)
Caeli McKay (Calgary, Alta.)
Kate Miller (Ottawa, Ont.)
Celina Toth (Victoria, B.C.)
Mia Vallée (Kirkland, Que.)
Pamela Ware (Greenfield Park, Que.)
Rylan Wiens (Saskatoon, Sask.)
Nathan Zsombor-Murray (Pointe-Claire, Que.)
The experienced team, which includes five Olympians and five world championship medallists, looks to use Santiago 2023 to continue to build on their success from the past two seasons on the road to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The nine athletes were selected for Team Canada based on their performances at the 2023 Canadian Championships, which were hosted May 26-28 at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre.
Olympians and world championship medallists Caeli McKay and Pamela Ware headline the women’s diving team heading to Santiago 2023. They will lend their experience to their respective synchro partners, Kate Miller and Mia Vallée, who will both make their Pan American Games debuts. McKay and Ware look to build on their successful performances at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan where they both won individual bronze medals – McKay in 10m platform, Ware in 3m springboard – a great sign in their comebacks from a challenging Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
“It’s been a very good season for me. After injuring my ankle a few weeks away from the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021, I needed two years and an operation to get back on top. It really was a challenge. This season, I am feeling like I’ve regained all my potential with my new ankle. I am back at 100 percent. I am looking forward to showing what I can do at these Pan American Games. I am also looking forward to sharing this experience with my synchro partner Kate Miller. These will be her first senior Pan American Games as well,” said McKay.
The 24-year-old’s recent bronze was Canada’s first world championship in the women’s individual 10m platform event in 20 years. McKay won a silver medal at Lima 2019 on the 10m platform and the gold medal in the synchro event with now-retired partner Meaghan Benfeito.
Tokyo 2020 Olympian Nathan Zsombor-Murray looks forward to a second appearance at the Pan American Games. At Lima 2019, he captured silver in the men’s 10m synchro event alongside veteran Vincent Riendeau. The pair went on to finish fifth at Tokyo 2020. Zsombor-Murray has since teamed up with fellow Olympian Rylan Wiens. The pair made history at the 2022 World Aquatics Championships in Budapest where they won a bronze medal together. It was the first time two Canadian men stood on the world podium in the 10m synchro event.
“I am proud of qualifying to represent my country at the Pan Am Games in Santiago. The multi-sport Games experience is always incredible. It is very similar to the Olympic Games. It enables us to be around athletes from different sports and it’s always a great time,” said Zsombor-Murray, who won bronze in the men’s individual 10m platform event at the World Aquatics Diving World Cup in Montreal in early May.
By reaching the finals of their respective events at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships, McKay (women’s 10m), Ware (women’s 3m) and Zsombor-Murray (men’s 10m) secured one Olympic quota spot for Canada in each of those events. The country can qualify up to two spots per individual event for Paris 2024. Gold medallists in the individual diving events at Santiago 2023 can secure a quota spot for their country, provided the specific athlete did not already qualify a spot at the world championships.
The diving events are scheduled for October 26-30 (Days 7 to 11) at the Aquatics Centre at Estadio Nacional.
“Get ready to witness the grace and power of Team Canada’s finest divers as they take the plunge at the Pan Am Games,” said Christine Girard, Team Canada’s Santiago 2023 Chef de Mission. “Our squad is a blend of seasoned Olympians and world championship medalists poised to make waves, but little splash, and capture the hearts of all who watch, myself included!”
Team Canada’s diving coaches and support staff for the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games are:
Tong Hui (Montreal, Que.) – Coach
Yihua Li (Pointe-Claire, Que.) – Coach
Tommy McLeod (Victoria, B.C.) – Coach
Eryn Barrett (Kamloops, B.C.) – Team Manager
Mitch Geller (Ottawa, Ont.) – Team Leader
Andrée Pouliot-Deschamps (Bromont, Que.) – Assistant Team Leader
Prior to being named to Team Canada, all nominations are subject to approval by the Canadian Olympic Committee’s Team Selection Committee following its receipt of nominations by all National Sport Organisations.

Northeast OB/GYN Associates
5000 Schertz Parkway Suite 100
Schertz, TX 78154
The medical offices for Northeast OB/GYN Associates were designed and constructed for a physicians group to replace an older office location in a medical office building. The new facility is located at 5000 Schertz Parkway in Schertz Texas in a medical office development called the Schertz Parkway Plaza. The development will eventually have 8 medical office buildings when complete. The site is a seven acre tract on the Northeast side of San Antonio near the intersection of IH35 and Schertz Parkway. The developer for the project is Schertz Parkway Ventures and the general contractor is Sage Development.
The building is a single story 10,000 s.f. facility that houses offices for up to 8 physicians. Stephen J. Kramer Architecture + Design, Inc. provided full architectural services including master planning for the overall development and building design, interior layout and interior design including material, color, art and furniture selection. The building interior includes a large patient waiting area that can accomodate approximately 50 people. There is a separate reception and check out area. Each doctor operates within a ‘pod’ that has an office, nurses station, doctor’s work area and 3 exam rooms. In addition there is a lab, consult room, procedure rooms, administrative offices, break room, and other associated support areas.
The site has a large number of mature oak trees that were preserved during the planning phase of the project and that complement the ‘native’ landscaping of the site. In spite of this we were able to provide adequate parking at more then 5 spaces per 1000 s.f. of buildling area.
The building exterior is a modern interpretation of a Texas vernacular architecture using heavy tapered limestone columns, with limestone and stucco walls, heavy timber accents and a standing seam metal roof. The building will have solar panels on the rear surface of the roof that will generate a substantial portion of the power requirement for the Owner. | <urn:uuid:e540cafb-196b-46da-8290-f8a1978bdcf1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sjkramer.com/northeast-ob-gyn-associates/ | 2023-09-28T17:23:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.95746 | 413 |

After her fall a couple of days ago, Sarah Burke still remains in critical condition at the University of Utah hospital. On Wednesday, Burke underwent a successful operation to repair a tear to her vertebral artery which resulted in an intracranial haemorrhage at the time of her fall.
“With injuries of this type, we need to observe the course of her brain function before making definitive pronouncements about Sarah’s prognosis for recovery. Our Neuro Critical Care team will be monitoring her condition and response continuously over the coming hours and days,” said William T. Couldwell, professor and chair of Neurosurgery who performed the operation.
Again, if you would like to leave support or any wishes to get better, then please head over to her Facebook page and we’ll hopefully see her back on the slopes soon. | <urn:uuid:8e416442-d8a6-429b-aff1-5ad16cd481ef> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://skiunion.com/features/sarah-burke-update-jan-13th.html | 2023-09-28T18:18:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.949567 | 174 |
(Reuters) – Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said there is no point raising complaints with Premier League referees as it is like speaking to a microwave, with the German left fuming by the officiating in their 3-1 defeat at Brentford on Monday.
Klopp said Brentford were “stretching the rules” with their pushing and holding, especially at set-pieces, and thought Bryan Mbeumo’s third goal should have been ruled out for a foul.
When asked whether he had spoken to the match officials about the issue, Klopp told beIN Sports: “Yeah, but actually that’s exactly the same as I would talk to my microwave, you get no response, really. It’s always the same.
“Before the season they gave us advice that the players have to be careful in these moments because the refs will have an eye on it. You see in these games pretty much everything is allowed, it’s always on the edge and they are using it.”
Virgil van Dijk was one of three Liverpool players to come off at halftime but Klopp confirmed the defender was substituted due to a niggle, while the other two – Harvey Elliott and Konstantinos Tsimikas – were for tactical reasons.
“Virgil felt a little bit the muscle and said it is fine, and he is a very good judge of these kind of things. But I didn’t want to take any risks,” Klopp said.
“The physios looked quite happy when I said we don’t take risks. It’s not an injury, he just felt the intensity.”
Liverpool remain sixth in the league, four points behind fourth-placed Manchester United, who have played a game less.

Tuesday: 4 mile run
Wednesday: 30 mins exercise at home
Friday: 5 min Shayloss Challenge
Saturday: 30 mins yoga and 5 min Shayloss Challenge
Sunday: 1hr 15 gym (700 calories), 50 mins yoga and 5 minutes Shayloss Challenge
I’ve weighed myself and I’m ashamed.
I’m back at the weight I was before I started the P90 program at the end of 2014. It’s a horrible feeling when you jump on the scale and weigh half a stone more than you thought.
I felt like shit for a bit, then I decided to do something about it. So from now on, I’m going hard.
I’m being strict with my diet and with exercise and I’m going to get back to where I was before. I’ve even put a photo of me on my phone when I was a stone lighter to keep me inspired. Every time I see it, I get a pang of anger for letting myself get back to this weight, but also I feel inspired.
I’m going to work so hard at the gym to burn as many calories as possible. I’m going to get back into running when the weather permits and I’m doing 2 30 day challenges:
Last year I did Yoga with Adriene’s 30 day challenge on Youtube, this year she is doing another one but it’s called Yoga Camp.
I’m having a few issues with the time they’re being put up at the moment as they’re not up until the afternoon in the UK! I don’t want to miss any.
Shay and Gavin have wrote a book called Fat Dad, Fat Kid all about living healthy. For those that don’t know, Shay, from the Shaytards (another YouTuber) lost 100lbs and ran a marathon after years of struggling with his weight. His eldest son, Gavin, is built like Shay – he’s a stocky 11 year old, he’s big and strong and may be what some call a bit on the chubby side. Shay and Gavin of wrote this book about health, weight and diet that’s divided into 30 chapters. Every day, they’re going through one chapter and then doing a 5 minute workout that we can do at home so I’m following this, too.
My goals are to stick to the yoga and Shayloss challenge, as well as hit the gym at least 3 times (Monday, Wednesday and Friday). I would ideally like to go more but I’m not going to beat myself up too much if I don’t due to doing the Yoga and 5 minute workouts.
On Monday I need to get really organised with my blogs so I’m not worried about getting content up! Alongside fitness!

If your partner is trying to prevent pregnancy, here's how you can help:
Mar 01, 2023
What is the 'burden' of birth control?
Preventing pregnancy has physical, emotional, and financial costs to it. And the burden of birth control is often placed disproportionately on people who can become pregnant.
The Physical Burden:
Different types of birth control have different physical effects on the body. For example, hormonal contraceptives like the pill, patch, or intrauterine devices (IUDs) can cause side effects such as weight gain, nausea, headaches, and mood changes. Some people may also experience pain or discomfort when using certain types of contraceptives, such as the contraceptive implant or diaphragm. Condoms can also cause discomfort if they're made with common irritants like spermicides, fragrances, flavors, etc.
The Emotional Burden:
Birth control can also take an emotional toll on folks who do not want to become pregnant. Some people may experience anxiety or stress related to the use of contraception, such as worrying about forgetting to take a pill or having to convince their partner to use a condom. Some people may even feel guilty or conflicted about their use of birth control, particularly if it conflicts with their religious or cultural beliefs.
The Financial Burden:
The access & cost of contraception can also be a financial burden, particularly for those without insurance or who live in areas with limited access to healthcare. Contraceptive methods like the pill or IUD can be expensive, and insurance coverage for birth control can vary depending on the individual's plan and location. Additionally, the cost of regular appointments for check-ups and prescription refills can add up over time.
Overall, the physical, emotional, and financial burden of birth control can vary depending on the individual and the method used. It is important to recognize the different ways in which birth control can be burdensome and to work towards improving access and reducing the barriers to using effective contraception.
Share The Responsibility!
Pregnancy prevention should be a shared responsibility! If you’re in an intimate relationship with someone who is trying to prevent unplanned pregnancy, there are things you can do to help carry the burden.
1. Buy, carry, and use condoms!
Aside from a vasectomy, condoms are the only other form of birth control for penis-owners. Purchasing condoms, having them on-hand, and encouraging the use of them is a great way to share the burden of birth control with your partner.
If you’re looking for a comfy option for you and your partner - Slipp is made without the use of common irritants like flavors, textures, spermicides, or glycerin.
2. Lend your time & money
Consider splitting or covering the cost of their contraception. For example, you could take turns purchasing condoms (or always be the one to purchase them). You could also pitch in on the cost of their hormonal birth control (i.e. the pill) or cover the cost of Plan B if it's needed (and even pick it up for them!)
3. Educate yourself
Take the time to educate yourself on reproductive health and the different contraception options and how they work. The more knowledgeable you are about contraception, the more you can take an active role in preventing unintended pregnancies by using condoms, supporting your partner's use of contraception, and practicing safe sex.
Ultimately, it is important to recognize that preventing pregnancies is a shared responsibility. Men can help play a role in sharing the burden of birth control so that the burden is not disproportionately put on the person who can get pregnant. | <urn:uuid:ac05f216-bec4-458b-a608-ac8185f13474> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://slipp.org/blogs/news/dear-men-if-your-partner-is-trying-to-prevent-pregnancy-heres-how-you-can-help | 2023-09-28T16:36:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.931852 | 759 |
Introduction of the project
The Importance of Archival Documents from the F.183 Fond and the Newly Found ''Reports'' as Important Historical Sources for Studying War Crimes Committed Against the Slovaks During the Second World War
Among the large number of important fonds located at the Archives of Vojvodina there exists a fond F.183 which has the name: Commission for Investigation of Crimes Committed by the Occupiers and their Collaborators in Vojvodina – Novi Sad (1944–1948), 1941–1950. This fond is comprised of 81 books and 593 archival storage boxes whose length in total is 73,7 m. The archival documents from this fond are among the most important archival holdings that are stored at the Archives of Vojvodina, or more precisely, they are historical documents of utmost importance for studying the period of the Second World War on the territory of the AP Vojvodina. With regard to the importance of the archival documents of which it is comprised, the fond has been categorized as a cultural heritage of exceptional importance.
The Commission for Investigation of Crimes Committed by the Occupiers and their Collaborators in Vojvodina (henceforth: the Commission) was founded at the Second Session of the Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia (AVNOJ/AFCNLY) held in Jajce (today Bosnia and Herzegovina) from the 29th to the 30th of November 1943. The AVNOJ session had a very important role to play in terms of forming, or rather constituting the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia (FNRJ/FPRY). The main Declaration was accepted at the session upon which decisions would be made, whereby some had constitutional characteristics. Among them was a decision that made AVNOJ the ''main legislative and executive authority'', whereby the National Committee for the Liberation of Yugoslavia (NKOJ/NCLY) was also introduced as the executive branch of AVNOJ which had ''all of the markings of a national government''. Apart from the aforementioned, a decision was made by the Presidency of AVNOJ, under the serial number 10, according to which the State Commission for Investigation of Crimes Committed by the Occupiers and their Collaborators was formed via the Presidency of NKOJ. This Commission was formed with the goal of ''determining responsibility, finding and punishing all individuals responsible for committing and who still commit atrocities via the occupying forces and their collaborators in Yugoslavia for the duration of the war''. Seeing as how by the decisions of AVNOJ the new Yugoslavia was constituted as a federal state, gradually from February to November 1944, after the State Commission, local commissions were likewise founded which were responsible for each of the federal states. The local commissions functioned under the supervision of the State Commission. Likewise, apart from local commissions, a provincial commission was also founded whose seat was in Novi Sad later on. To this day the exact date of its founding has not been determined, although the Main National Liberation Committee of Vojvodina began working on the 21st of November 1944 when a decision, under the serial number 30, was passed that had ten articles of the Provincial Commission.
With regard to the Provincial Commission's organizational structure, it had correspondence with local commissions as well as the State Commission. When taking into account the ethnic composition of the AP Vojvodina, the Provincial Commission had certain specific traits which made it different from local commissions as well as the State Commission. Likewise, these specific characteristics of the Provincial Commission came as a result of the fact that, during the Second World War, the territories of Vojvodina were divided into three occupational zones, whereby the territories of Bačka were incorporated into Horthy's Hungary, Srem was under the control of the Independent State of Croatia, while Banat was under German control. The internal structure of the Commission was conceptualized in a way whereby it was supposed to consist of several departments all of which had certain tasks in their designated fields. The work of the Provincial Commission partially followed the separated occupational zones during the Second World War whereby they functioned based on territorial principles. This means that the entire area which was under the supervision of the Commission was divided into district administrations that had seats in Novi Sad, Sombor, Subotica, Zrenjanin, Pančevo, Sremska Mitrovica and Zemun. In addition to that, a certain number of municipality statistics councils comprised each of the district administrations, whereby the municipality statistics councils themselves were comprised of a larger or smaller number of local community administrations.
Information about the atrocities was gathered by local community administrations via submitted reports. It was required to fill in each report with information concerning the perpetrator and the victim as well as the crime itself: place, description, damage, evidence etc. Reports, together with their lists, were sent to the statistics councils by the local community administration that was located in the territory of a certain district. Upon arriving at the councils the reports were then further arranged in order that, based on their information, other records could be made. Via district administrations, the final destination of all of the gathered and arranged material was the Commission in Novi Sad. Based on the gathered material, decisions were made to determine the crime, culprit, victim and damage. The Commission was obliged to store the original material in its archive, while the copies and its decisions were delivered to the State Commission in Belgrade, and the decisions themselves were sent to public attorneys.
Apart from the aforementioned organizational units, the Commission was also comprised of special survey commissions. In simple terms, the task of the survey commissions was to ''conduct a survey of all major atrocities committed by the occupiers and their collaborators during the occupational period and the processing of the information via reports''. Namely, the Commission, while taking into account the aforementioned circumstances concerning the occupation of Vojvodina, classified all of the atrocities according to the corresponding areas, while inside those areas they were classified according to their specific groups. Survey commissions would then, for each of the areas and groups pertaining to the crimes, gather the available evidence whereby the end result of their work would be the ''reports'', or to be more precise, detailed accounts concerning the crimes that were committed in relation to their respective groups. The survey commissions according to their corresponding areas were: 1. The Survey Commission for Bačka and Baranja; 2. The Survey Commission for Banat; 3. The Survey Commission for Srem.
Each of the commissions had several municipality branches. Along with the ones that we already noted, there were also commissions that supervised the entire territory of Vojvodina: 1. The Survey Commission for the ''Sajmište'' concentration camp (located in Zemun); 2. The Survey Commission for Germans (Volksdeutsche); 3. The Survey Commission for Investigating Crimes Committed Against the Slovaks; 4. The Survey Commission for Investigating Crimes Committed Against the Jews.
The series of documents that comprise the F.183 fond mostly follow the organizational structure and work methods of the Commission. Among them, however, there are no special groups that are separate from the rest nor are there records concerning the documents of the Survey Commission for Investigating Crimes Committed Against the Slovaks. The documents that this Survey Commission has acquired are located within different groups in the fond. In the AK INV group is a whole host of records pertaining to the testimonies by Slovaks that were victims of the crimes. The records are in shorter form, ranging from half a page to two pages. Apart from information about the victim, they contain accounts about the crime itself. They were written in the Slovak language and there are in total 1728. They were recorded in the last book in the series of groups.
In the group that contains lists of victims and those wronged by the war crimes there are also lists of the Slovak victims categorized according to the crimes. There are three in total: 1. Forceful recruitment into the Hungarian Army, consisting of 85 pages; 2. Forced labor, consisting of 123 pages and 3. Forced membership in the ''Levente'' organization, consisting of 89 pages. Documents with information relating to the crimes committed against the Slovaks are also present among the reports by the Commission's local community administrations. The total number of reports that have Slovaks as the main victims is currently hard to pinpoint seeing as how research into this part of the fond is still being conducted and some of the reports are not physically located in the Archives of Vojvodina. With that in mind, there are indications that a large number of archival records is located among the reports by local community administrations from places where Slovaks lived in larger numbers in the territory of Vojvodina.
Special historical significance is given to the so-called reports that have been compiled by the Survey Commission for Investigating Crimes Committed Against the Slovaks in Vojvodina, whose existence was unknown up until mid-2020, where they were found during research which was being conducted as part of the project activities. The reports deal with Banat, Bačka and Srem and are composed in two languages, Serbian and Slovakian, whereby they were presented in its entirety as a special part of this internet-presentation. The importance of these documents is enormous, seeing as how they represent an account of the war crimes that the occupational forces and their collaborators committed on the territories of Banat, Bačka and Srem, or more specifically, they describe in detail the war crimes committed against the Slovaks during the Second World War. Its content gives insight into facts that were unknown until recently and has a crucial importance with regard to the focus of the research of this project.

Xbox is 1 of the top gaming brands in the world.
And Roku is unmatched when it comes to streaming platforms.
So if you’re considering using both of them on the same TV…
Then I totally agree with that decision.
With that, allow me to help you connect your Xbox to your Roku.
Continue reading to find out:
- 7 quick steps to connect your Xbox to a Roku.
- 5 best Xbox games you can play offline on your Roku TV.
- The 2 different ways you can have Roku on your TV’s system.
- And this is just the beginning…
How to connect Xbox to Roku TV? 7 steps
Before you proceed to the specific steps you need for this setup…
Bear in mind that there are 2 ways you can get the Roku system on your TV:
Now, in most cases, people fall into the 1st category.
So I’ll start with that 1.
With that, here’s how you can connect your Xbox to a TV that uses an external Roku box:
#1: Turn ON your Xbox and TV
Plug in your Xbox and TV to their respective power sources.
Doing so will make the rest of the steps much easier to do.
Because you’ll have visual indications on your screen…
Of whether or not your connections are actually working properly.
After plugging them into their power sources and pressing their power buttons…
#2: Grab your 1st HDMI cable
Now, since you’re going to work with 2 external devices here, namely your:
- Roku box.
So now, grab 1 of your HDMI cables and…
#3: Plug it into the HDMI OUT port of the Xbox
On the back of your Xbox device, you’ll see 2 HDMI ports:
- HDMI IN.
- HDMI OUT.
Locate the HDMI OUT port and plug your 1st HDMI cable into it.
After doing so…
#4: Plug the other end of the cable to the HDMI IN port of your TV
Depending on the brand of your TV…
This port may be labeled as HDMI IN or HDMI INPUT.
And in some cases, you might even see multiple ports with this label.
But worry not. You can use any of the ports that say HDMI IN on it.
So simply plug the other end of the HDMI cable you plugged into your Xbox earlier, and…
#5: Ensure your TV is set to the right input settings
Note: If your TV screen already displays the contents of your Xbox player, you can skip to the next step.
But if your Xbox is still not being projected on your TV screen…
You need to set your TV to the correct input settings.
Now, the steps you need to do here will vary depending on your TV’s brand.
But in most TV models…
Here’s how you can change your TV’s input settings:
- Press the INPUT or SOURCE button on your TV remote.
- The list of available input sources will show up on your TV screen.
- Select the name of the HDMI port where you plugged the cable earlier.
If you’ve picked the correct input source…
You should see the contents of your Xbox on your TV screen now.

#6: Power your Roku device
All that’s left to do now is connect your Roku to the existing setup.
But to do this, you must power ON your Roku device 1st.
So plug it into a reliable power source and wait until its LED light turns to a solid white.
#7: Connect your Roku player to your Xbox
Get your 2nd HDMI cable and plug 1 end into the HDMI port of your Roku device.
Then, connect the other end of this cable to the HDMI IN port of your Xbox.
And that’s it.
Your Xbox will already be connected to your Roku TV.
“How about the TVs using the built-in Roku system?”
Of course, I haven’t forgotten about that tutorial too.
But don’t worry.
Compared to the 1st category, it’s much easier to…
Connect your Xbox to a TV running on the Roku software itself:
- Turn ON your standard Roku TV and your Xbox.
- Grab a high-quality HDMI cable.
- Connect 1 end of the cable to the HDMI OUT port of your Xbox.
- Plug the other end of the cable into the HDMI IN port of your Roku TV.
- Ensure that your TV is set to the correct HDMI input settings (refer to step #5 above).
- Check if your screen is now showing the contents of your Xbox.
As you can see, it’s effortless to connect your Xbox to a Roku TV…
No matter which category you fall into.
Now, if you’re wondering…
Does It Work on all Xbox Consoles?
Roku works on all Xbox consoles only if you’re using a TV running on the Roku software.
But if you’re planning to use an external Roku player…
It won’t be compatible with all Xbox consoles.
Because consoles from the Xbox series X don’t have an HDMI input.
Which means there’s no way to connect an external Roku to them.
But don’t worry.
Only Xbox models from the series X are incompatible with external Roku devices.
And all the other models can be connected to Roku.
How to connect Xbox to Roku TV without HDMI
To connect Xbox to a Roku TV without an HDMI port, you need to have a converter box.
And if you’re not familiar with what that is yet…
A converter box is a device that converts HDMI connections to RCA connections.
And you need it because if your TV doesn’t have an HDMI port…
Then it likely has RCA ports instead.
You can think of RCA as an older version of the HDMI connections.
Either way, they have the same purpose of connecting external devices to your TV.
See, Rokus only have HDMI ports, so you need an HDMI cable for them.
While on the flip side, your TV only has RCA ports, so you need RCA cables to connect to it.
With that, the converter box’s job is to act as a bridge between these 2 different cables.
So that your TV can still connect to your Roku.
Even if it doesn’t have an HDMI port.
Now that it’s clear how this connection works…
Here’s how you can connect Xbox to Roku TV without HDMI:
Step 1: Power ON your TV and your Xbox.
Step 2: Connect your Xbox to the converter box.
Grab an HDMI cable and plug 1 end into the HDMI OUT port of the Xbox player.
Then, connect the other end to the HDMI port of the converter box.
Step 3: Connect the RCA connectors of the converter box to your TV.
Now, RCA connectors are labeled with these 3 colors:
And likewise, your TV and converter box will also have RCA ports in these colors.
So what you need to do now is to…
Insert each RCA connector into the RCA ports on your converter box.
Then, do the same process for your TV.
Note: Ensure that the color of each connector matches the color of the RCA port you’ll plug it into. Otherwise, this connection won’t work.
If you want, you may use this short clip to assist you in this process:
Now, plug your converter box into a power source so it’ll convert the HDMI signals to your TV.
Step 4: Set your TV to the correct input settings.
Step 5: Connect your Roku device to your Xbox.
Plug your Roku into its power source.
And using an HDMI cable, connect it to the HDMI IN port of your Xbox.
Note: If you have a Roku stick, just directly plug it into the port.
Now, once all connections are snug and fit…
Both your Roku and your Xbox should be projected on your TV.
Why isn’t my Xbox showing up on Roku TV?
Your Xbox isn’t showing up on Roku TV because you’re using the wrong HDMI port.
See, many people make the mistake of using the HDMI IN port instead of HDMI OUT…
When they’re trying to hook up their Xbox to a Roku TV for the 1st time.
So to fix this issue…
Ensure that 1 end of your HDMI cable is plugged into the HDMI OUT of your Xbox.
And that the other end is connected to the HDMI IN of your TV.
This should fix the problem.
But if it doesn’t…
Check if you’re using a high-speed HDMI cable.
Now, the HDMI cable that came with your Xbox console is already a high-speed 1.
But if you’ve replaced the original 1 in the past…
Then the HDMI cable you’re currently using might not be compatible with this connection.
Not sure where you can grab yourself a high-speed HDMI cable?
Don’t worry. I got you.
Here are the best high-speed HDMI cables you can get on Amazon right now:
|8K HDMI Cable 2.1||$12.99|
|Amazon Basics High-Speed HDMI Cable||$11.00|
|Zeskit Maya 8K 48Gbps||$14.99|
Is Roku TV good for gaming?
Roku TV is good for gaming.
In fact, its remote control has buttons explicitly designed for playing video games.
See, like your gaming controllers from Xbox or PS4…
A Roku remote also includes:
- A/B/X button.
- A directional pad.
- A headphone jack.
And this makes it an ideal controller for playing games.
On top of this, the Roku TV app store also contains hundreds of games.
Which are specifically designed to be played on Roku TVs.
Not to mention, Roku is also compatible with the top gaming consoles like:
So honestly, I can’t think of any other streaming platform better for gaming than Roku.
Can you play Xbox on Roku TV without Internet?
You can play Xbox on Roku TV without the Internet.
But before you can do this…
You need to have some offline games downloaded on your Xbox.
Not familiar with any of them?
Fret not. I’ll help you.
Here are 5 of the best Xbox games you can play without the Internet:
Download 1 of these or any offline games of your choice.
And you’ll be able to access them whenever you want to.
With or without an Internet connection. | <urn:uuid:993c00ab-6b40-41f4-a7c4-c70c24d955ae> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://smarthomeowl.com/how-to-connect-xbox-to-roku-tv/ | 2023-09-28T17:14:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.848294 | 2,358 |
If you're tired of your roommate stealing your Cheetos out of the pantry or simply want to indulge in something creepy, then keep reading. With the iPhone 5 finally released, many people will soon be selling or giving away their older iPhones. But should they?
Instead of ditching your old iPhone, why not use it to engage in some Big Brother type espionage? There are some really awesome ways to use your old iPhone, but spying on people is definitely the most bang for your buck.
First, you'll want to set up a Ustream account for live streaming. They give you up to 10 gigabytes of storage for free, but you can pay for more if you really need it. You'll also need to download the Ustream app from the iTunes App Store (it's free), so you can use it to stream live from your device.
Once you have your account set up, the spying can begin.
Find a discreet place to hide your iPhone. If you're going to catch your roommate snagging your Cheetos, place it somewhere in the kitchen that isn't so obvious—obviously. Keep in mind that your iPhone has limited battery power, so it won't be able to take videos all day long without some plugged-in juice, so make sure you choose a place near an outlet. Also, if you plan on doing night surveillance, you might want to think of a way to hide the light from your iPhone's display. Maybe a stuffed animal will do.
Once the phone is in place, you will be able to access the feed from anywhere, anytime—as long as you remembered to start the recording on your iPhone. There are no time limits on your recording, so you can actually stream your surveillance footage for days if you wanted.
To view your live stream, just watch it from your new iPhone 5 using the Ustream app. Or you can watch it from another device. They support iPhones, iPads, and Android devices, and obviously—the Web. If you don't have time to watch it live, you can always come back and check out the archived video on Ustream—which you might have to do if somebody actually steals your new iPhone 4 surveillance camera!
You could also do this using Justin.tv, if you prefer.

A few things on Android and iPhone have not been perfected. For instance, selecting and copying text is a task I often find myself fumbling over. But recently, we stumbled across a nifty way to select text that's a huge improvement over how we've been doing it.
To best explain this how to do this, I'd compare it to when you click on some text with a mouse and keep the button held down while you drag to select many words. Find a place you can select text on your phone, then long-press a word. Without letting go, drag up, down, left, or right to highlight as many words as you want.
You will find this works very similarly to a mouse, and it's exactly the same gesture on both Android and iOS. It's definitely better than long-pressing a single word to select it, then using those tiny little drag handles to adjust the selection. Now if we could only figure out how to unlock a Face ID phone when it's on a table ...

Water treatment is likely to grow at a CAGR close to 6% by the end of 2024. The market growth will be majorly attributed to being more useful in reducing the toxic effects of the industrial effluents, further helping in the reduction of waste and further assist in achieving environmental sustainability. Growing concerns against water-pollution have led to the devising of stricter laws and regulations to take the initiative against wastewater generation, which will show a positive impact on the water soluble polymer market share by the end of 2024.
Water Soluble Polymer Market will exceed USD 38 billion by 2024; according to a new research report. High growth in consumption in the water treatment industry will augment the demand for these products throughout the forecast years. The rising demand from oil & gas industry for reducing the hydrate formation in the oil pipelines will further complement the global water soluble polymer market during the forecast timeframe.
Polyacrylamide & copolymers held the largest water soluble polymer market share in 2016.

Useful Dental Care Tips For Both Mom and Baby
If you’re pregnant, congratulations! Having a new member of your family can be an exciting and nerve-wracking time, and you’re probably looking for all the tips you can to make sure your pregnancy is safe and successful for your newborn. Your OB/GYN has probably recommended the many usual tips, such as taking folate supplements, limiting your caffeine intake, and avoiding alcohol at all costs. But if they didn’t tell you about maintaining good oral hygiene, then we’re here to tell you that having healthy teeth and gums is just as important for a successful delivery.
Because for many women, poor dental health is a problem. Having cavities, gum disease, and even ulcers can present problems for women later on in their trimester and can present oral problems for your newborn in their future. But don’t worry! We’re here to help provide you with the best tips possible for that wondrous day.
Ways That Pregnancy Can Affect Your Oral Health
Many studies have repeatedly shown that the hormones produced during pregnancy, including estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone, can contribute to a higher rate of gingivitis in pregnant women. This is often due to how these hormones cause inflammation throughout the body as it’s working to develop and feed nutrients to that newborn inside you, and thus can make the gums more irritated than usual. As a result of this inflammation, your teeth and gums can become more vulnerable to oral diseases such as cavities, periodontal disease, dry mouth, and even tooth loss.
So, why is this issue so prominent to you and your pregnancy? Well, that’s because having periodontal disease has been linked to an increased risk of premature births. Approximately 18% of premature, low-weight births have been born prematurely as a result of periodontal disease and are thus associated with a higher infant mortality rate. For women at high risk of preeclampsia, women with this condition are also three and a half times more likely To have periodontal disease than those without preeclampsia.
With both of these scary statistics in mind, we highly emphasize care with your oral health because the presence of cavities, gum disease, and other tooth problems can translate to your newborn and increase their risk of tooth problems later on in their lives.
Tips For Tooth Care During Pregnancy
For many women, gingivitis is an unavoidable aspect of their pregnancy. However, you can follow these tips for good dental health and help reduce the risk of your gingivitis turning into periodontal disease:
- Wait and Rinse: If you experience nausea during your brushing time, then one way to help is to wash out your mouth with water and wait at least 30 minutes before trying again.
- Minimize Carbohydrates: Simple carbohydrates are some of the worst foods for your teeth because they’re the number one food for bacteria to develop plaque around your teeth and gums.
- A Vitamin-Rich Diet: Having a vitamin-rich diet filled with vitamin D, C, A, and E can help fortify your child’s bones, muscles, and immune system and contribute to healthy baby birth.
- Brush and Floss: Always brush and floss your teeth at least twice daily, and if needed, change up your toothpaste and toothbrush for a better experience.
If you have any more concerns you’d like to bring up, then the best resource for caring for your teeth is to contact your pediatrician or pediatric dentist for more information. | <urn:uuid:91334dca-192f-40eb-9cbe-c89d44cd8945> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://smilingkidsnoblesville.com/useful-dental-care-tips-for-both-mom-and-baby/ | 2023-09-28T17:08:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.952631 | 753 |

“The smell of money” — that’s what pork producers have long called the revolting odor of pig waste that permeates the air in eastern North Carolina, where hogs outnumber people by as much as 35 to 1. But to many Black, Latinx, and Indigenous residents who live near the state’s giant pig farms, the smell is more associated with nausea, anxiety, breathing problems, and racial discrimination.
Industrial pork production exploded in eastern North Carolina in the late 1980s and early ’90s, as mega facilities that each house thousands of animals displaced small farms. Ever since, residents have been fighting for their rights to clean air, clean water, and a life free from the stench of the 10 billion gallons of waste the state’s 8.8 million pigs produce each year.
In January, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched an investigation into a discrimination claim brought by an NGO representing several community groups. The inquiry seeks to answer whether or not the state’s environmental department racially discriminated against residents when permitting several hog factory farms to convert their waste into fuel.
The EPA’s probe is the latest development in a decades-long battle in North Carolina against what residents affected by factory farm pollution say is a form of “environmental racism,” a term used to describe the disproportionate impacts of pollution — whether from agriculture or urban power plants — on communities of color.
That fight faces an uphill climb. Big Meat is king in the state’s culture, politics, and economy. In 2020, North Carolina ranked second among states in pork production, third in turkey production, and fourth in chicken production. It supplies not just the US but the rest of the world — 25 percent of the state’s pork is exported to China, Mexico, Japan, Korea, and other countries. But that pork and poultry production — and the environmental impacts that result from it — are highly concentrated in poverty-stricken counties with high Black, Latinx, and Indigenous populations.
“This is home and I love it,” Carl Lewis, a Black barber in Bladen County, North Carolina, told me in an interview for The Smell of Money, a documentary I’m producing on the issue. Lewis’s barbershop is near a hog farm and “sprayfield,” where hog manure is discharged into the air over cropland via a machine that looks like a giant sprinkler. “But the hog farm over there,” he added, pointing toward the 12 metal buildings and three waste lagoons behind a patch of pine trees, “there’s flies, smell, trucks, noise. It’s really bothersome. I don’t think people have moved because most of us are poor and can’t afford to do that.”
Impacts on communities like Lewis’s have been well documented since the 1990s and include everything from poisoned wells and diminished property values to shortened lifespans, as well as higher rates of physical and mental health problems for residents.
“One of the most disturbing stories that I’ve heard people talk about is the sensation of actually feeling the spray, the fecal waste, raining down on them,” says Courtney Woods, an associate professor at the University of North Carolina School of Public Health, who has studied these effects. “They see it on their cars, on their homes … and outside of that, just feel outraged. There are associations with stress and anxiety that we have studies to demonstrate.”
In the spring of 2020, massive Covid-19 outbreaks in meatpacking plants shined a spotlight on the daily hazards associated with killing and chopping hundreds to thousands of animals per day: cuts and amputations, dangerous chemical exposure, and repetitive stress injuries. Those hazards are borne by a predominately Black, Latinx, and immigrant workforce.
But as North Carolina’s example shows, the meat industry’s harm to vulnerable communities starts long before the slaughter plant. Look further back in the supply chain, and it’s evident poor communities of color disproportionately pay the price for the world’s cheap bacon and chicken.
How factory farms pollute the air and water (and how they get away with it)
Though meat’s contribution to the climate crisis is under increasing scrutiny, on-the-ground pollution caused by factory farms receives comparatively scant attention, even though about 12,700 premature deaths are caused in the US each year from animal agriculture air pollution alone — more deaths than those caused by coal-fired power plants, according to one recent study.
Waste from factory farms, or concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), is typically stored in massive, open-air pits or mounds, and then sprayed or spread over cropland as fertilizer. In theory, these systems are meant to recycle nutrients contained in the waste, like nitrogen and phosphorus, back into crops. But in practice, animal feces and urine regularly make their way off the farm and into the surrounding environment.
Poultry waste, a dry “litter” that looks like wood shavings mixed with excrement, blood, feathers, and feed, and is usually stored in big piles outdoors, can wash away in the rain or blow away in the wind. Pig waste pits often leak or overflow, especially during strong storms and North Carolina’s intense hurricane season.
Pollution can lead to algal blooms — an overgrowth of algae that can produce toxins and deplete oxygen levels in waterways — as well as massive fish kills. Groundwater contamination is an especially concerning problem in rural areas where some residents drink well water and where accessing county lines that could provide untainted water costs money people often don’t have.
“We had wells, but the wells [were] contaminated from the hog farm,” says Delores Miller, a resident who lives just a few hundred feet from a hog CAFO lagoon and sprayfield in Duplin County, North Carolina. “The smell, you can’t hang your clothes out, you can’t do nothing in the yard, and we won’t even talk about the yellow flies.”
Children who attend schools near CAFOs in North Carolina experience higher levels of asthma and wheezing compared to those who attend schools farther from CAFOs, and residents within one and a half miles of CAFOs report elevated blood pressure; eye, nose, and throat irritation; difficulty breathing; nausea; and chest tightness, problems that worsen as the odor worsens. One study found that eastern North Carolina residents who live near factory farms experience higher rates of asthma, anemia, kidney disease, infant mortality, and infections compared to rural residents who don’t live near CAFOs, even controlling for other factors like poverty.
Though the social and environmental harms wrought by CAFOs are decades old at this point, existing anti-pollution laws provide little relief. The federal Clean Water Act requires the EPA to hold factory farms accountable, but the agency primarily regulates only the largest CAFOs (for hog farms, that’s CAFOs with more than 2,500 pigs over 55 pounds, or more than 10,000 pigs under 55 pounds). The EPA allows factory farms to use the problem-prone waste storage and disposal practices described above, and doesn’t require CAFOs to monitor the pollutants they release into waterways.
The EPA also leaves much of the enforcement for the regulations that are on the books to state governments, but state agencies often lack the resources or political will to monitor water pollution, and they seldom crack down on violators with any real force.
Air pollution from CAFOs is also largely unregulated; in 2005, the EPA entered into what environmental advocates call a sweetheart deal with thousands of CAFOs, agreeing not to enforce air pollution regulations as long as the meat industry paid for a study of the problem. The EPA planned to use the resulting data to complete an analysis of the industry’s role in air pollution and then begin enforcement. But nearly two decades later, it still hasn’t.
Environmental justice advocates say tight ties between the industry and legislators make progress difficult. “We have legislators that is so deep into the pockets of these dirty industries; they can’t get out, even if they wanted to,” says Naeema Muhammad, senior adviser for the North Carolina Environmental Justice Network.
Since 2000, meat companies, meat trade groups, and individuals linked to the meat industry have contributed more than $5.6 million to North Carolina candidates. The largest donors are the North Carolina Farm Bureau, the North Carolina Pork Council, and Smithfield Foods, which is owned by Chinese conglomerate WH Group. Several legislators are current or former farmers and have helped to pass pro-industry legislation and defended the industry in the press.
Former poultry farmer and North Carolina state Rep. Jimmy Dixon (R), who represents a region with the most densely concentrated CAFOs in the country, championed a bill aimed at preventing citizens from suing major meat companies over pollution, has led pro-industry rallies, and has dismissed residents’ concerns about the stench and nuisance of living near a hog CAFO as “exaggerations,” accusing them of being “recruited” by greedy lawyers.
The fight for environmental justice in North Carolina hog country
North Carolina’s pro-industry, hands-off regulatory environment is inseparable from the state’s history. Legacies of slavery, genocide, land theft, and racial discrimination have made it impossible for many North Carolinians to access the kind of political and economic power necessary to stop factory farms from moving into their neighborhoods — and from finding relief from the farms’ pollution.
One historical anecdote highlights how race was a defining factor in the pork industry’s trajectory in North Carolina. Although residents — including many Black, Latinx, and Indigenous people — had been calling for stricter regulation for years, a moratorium on new hog CAFOs passed in 1997 only after a state representative heard that one was slated to be built near a golf resort and wealthy white community in his district.
Existing CAFOs were grandfathered in, and to this day, factory farms are more common near low-income communities and communities of color. In some parts of North Carolina, there are 10 times more CAFOs in poor and nonwhite neighborhoods than in wealthier, whiter areas, even controlling for population density.
Public health researchers and community groups first applied the term “environmental racism” to this situation in 1996, when they found an astounding correlation between where formerly enslaved people had settled, known as “the Black Belt,” and the modern-day distribution of hog CAFOs in North Carolina. The name stuck, and it continues to resonate with residents who have always known that the distribution of these polluting facilities was not accidental.
Elsie Herring, whose willingness to speak out against the pork industry made her the symbol for this fight after a hog farm moved onto her family’s land in the 1980s, often described her battle as one for basic human and civil rights. (She died last year from a form of cancer that may be linked to air pollution.)
“I definitely think that environmental racism is a big part of this picture of what’s going on with the pork industry,” she told me. “Otherwise, why not put them next door to where they live? Of course poverty has something to do with it also, but there’s plenty of poor white people, and these facilities are not in their neighborhood.”
“Eastern North Carolina is the dumping grounds for North Carolina,” says Muhammad. “We always say whatever white people don’t want in their backyards, come to eastern North Carolina, and we’ll show it to you, ‘cause it’s here.”
For the past three decades, residents like Herring have been engaged in a multi-front war, supported by a broad coalition of environmental and legal advocacy groups, public health researchers, and civil rights advocates. They’ve executed creative stunts like bringing gallons of hog feces to the governor’s mansion and setting up a mock hog farm — complete with functioning manure sprayers — on the state capitol grounds. They have pleaded with the industry directly, filed petitions, attended council meetings, lobbied legislators, testified before Congress, and even run for office against pro-industry politicians.
They’ve also filed federal Civil Rights Act complaints to the EPA, alleging that North Carolina’s environmental regulatory agency discriminates against communities of color by permitting CAFOs to pollute their air and drinking water (under the Civil Rights Act, no entity that receives federal funds may discriminate on the basis of race).
The most recent complaint, filed in January, argues that regulators are discriminating against communities of color by allowing some CAFOs to convert animal waste into fuel, a practice environmental justice advocates say worsens pollution by entrenching existing systems and subjecting communities to new gas pipelines and plants.
For years, North Carolina residents also hoped to find relief by suing the industry, but taking Big Meat to court is neither cheap nor easy. Financial barriers and intimidation from the industry directed at both law firms and would-be plaintiffs made this tactic inaccessible until residents finally found Mona Lisa Wallace, a gutsy lawyer from a small North Carolina town who was brave enough to take on a meat industry goliath.
In 2014, Wallace’s firm filed 26 nuisance lawsuits on behalf of a group of about 500 North Carolina residents — almost all people of color — against pork producer Murphy-Brown, which later became a subsidiary of Smithfield Foods, the world’s largest pork company. The suits detailed how the odor, noise, and health problems from air and water pollution made plaintiffs’ homes and land less livable and less valuable. The farmers themselves were not named in the lawsuits, as plaintiffs and their attorneys believed that farmers, too, are often victims of corporate agriculture’s exploitation.
Five of the lawsuits went to trial, and in each one, jurors unanimously sided with the residents. In total, the juries awarded residents $549,902,400, reduced to $97,880,000 due to a state cap on punitive damages — a cap that was put in place by industry-friendly lawmakers.
Smithfield appealed, but again, the federal appeals court sided with the plaintiffs, forcing the company to settle all remaining cases. The settlement amounts and other terms of the settlement are confidential, and in its press releases regarding its changes to animal waste disposal practices over the last several years, Smithfield has not stated that those changes are related to the settlement or required by it.
After the settlement announcement, plaintiff René Miller says conditions haven’t changed for her and her family. “That makes me feel good that we won,” she said. “But because we won, that don’t stop them from spraying [hog manure] on my house. So it’s still going on. I don’t go out my front door, and I stay in the house, keep the window closed. I still smell it.” Miller says she will use what she receives from the settlement to pay her medical bills.
In a statement regarding the company’s decision to settle, Smithfield spokesperson Keira Lombardo wrote, “These civil actions brought in North Carolina are part of a coordinated effort by plaintiffs’ attorneys and their allies aimed at dismantling our safe, reliable and modern system of food production. From the outset of these cases, we committed to vigorously defend agriculture and protect North Carolina’s farm families from this assault. Our support for America’s farmers does not end with this decision.”
Despite the win in the courts, while the lawsuits were ongoing, North Carolina’s legislature passed two retaliatory bills that tamp down on advocacy against CAFO pollution moving forward by making it extremely difficult to sue a major meat company for nuisance. “I think it’s horrific. I think it’s unconstitutional,” says Wallace. “And I think it’s sad that anyone would vote for a bill that treats people differently, that makes some people’s homes more precious than others’, just to protect the industry.”
Before the North Carolina cases, every state already had a “right to farm” law which protects agribusiness, to a degree, from similar lawsuits. But Big Meat was so spooked by its losses in North Carolina that it has lobbied legislatures in several ag-heavy states to strengthen those laws.
Today, pollution continues unabated in poor communities of color in the state and elsewhere. What’s needed, advocates say, is policy reform.
The EPA could do a lot more to hold CAFOs accountable for air and water pollution, according to Tarah Heinzen, legal director for the environmental nonprofit Food and Water Watch. “Its authorities under the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, and transparency laws remain largely untapped when it comes to CAFOs,” Heinzen says.
An EPA spokesperson told me via email that the agency “has been working toward a comprehensive strategy to address CAFO air emissions” by developing “improved emission-estimating methodologies [and] gathering additional information about the magnitude of CAFO emissions and their control options.” It expects to release draft reports this summer.
The spokesperson also noted the EPA is evaluating various Clean Air Act regulatory tools that might be used to address air pollution and is working to correct for the injustices wrought by past policies “through active engagement with underserved communities,” with regional virtual workshops and national monthly calls, and by funding air monitoring.
The EPA is also hamstrung by Congress. For years, Congress’ annual spending bill that funds the government has included provisions that block the EPA from monitoring and regulating CAFO greenhouse gas emissions and manure management systems. This year’s spending bill, which was signed by President Joe Biden in March, included those provisions.
In February, the White House announced a new screening tool to identify communities harmed by pollution, though it’ll exclude race, a move that disappointed environmental justice advocates. The White House said that decision was made to prevent legal challenges, fearing it would be struck down by the Supreme Court.
“I won’t be happy until this industry makes some significant changes where no one has to live under these kinds of conditions, where we can’t just simply enjoy our God-given rights, our right to clean air and clean water, the right to eat safe food,” Herring told me about a year before she died. “All of these things are worth fighting for. We need young people to take up the fight to fight environmental racism and injustices because this is their future. This world will be theirs when we leave.”

In order for your chatbot to break down a sentence to get to the meaning of it, we have to consider the essential parts of the sentence. One useful way that the wider community of researchers into Artificial Intelligence do this is to distinguish between Entities and Intents.
An Entity in a sentence is an object in the real world that can be named. Our NLP models are excellent at identifying Entities and can do so with near-human accuracy. Through our NLP engine, the bot identifies words from a user’s utterance to ensure all available fields match the task at hand or collects additional field data if needed. The goal of entity extraction is to fill any holes needed to complete a task, while ignoring unneeded details. It’s a subtractive process where the chatbot gets just the necessary info: whether provided all at once by the user or through a guided conversation with the chatbot.
Intent in a sentence is the purpose or goal of the statement. In a sentence of the type, ‘I would like to book two tickets for the new Spielberg film’ it is easy to identify the Intent, namely “to make a booking”. Many sentences, however, do not have clear Intent. So it is more challenging for a chatbot to recognize Intent but again, our NLP models are very effective at it. The goal of intent recognition isn’t just to match an utterance with a task, it’s to match an utterance with its correctly intended task. We do this by matching verbs and nouns with as many obvious and non-obvious synonyms as possible.
To make NLP work for particular goals, users will need to define all the types of Entities and Intents that the user wants the bot to recognise. In other words, users will create several NLP models, one for every Entity or Intent you need your chatbot to be able to identify. Users can build as many NLP models on our platform as they need. So, for example, you might build an NLP Intent model so that the bot can listen out for whether the user wishes to make a purchase. And an Entity model which recognises locations and another that recognises ages. Your chatbots can then utilise all three to offer the user a purchase from a selection that takes into account the age and location of the customer.
On our platform, users don’t need to build a new NLP model for each new bot that they create. All of the chatbots created will have the option of accessing all of the NLP models that a user has trained.
To develop an NLP model over time, so that it becomes more and more accurate at solving the task users want to address, users will want the chatbot to learn, especially from its mistakes. Machine Learning is a hot topic in the search for true Artificial Intelligence. Our models embody Machine Learning in the sense that on the basis of having provided example sentences and their outcomes, the model will make decisions about new sentences it encounters.
Our platform also offers what is sometimes termed supervised Machine Learning. In the light of data from your conversations, you can spot where the chatbot needs more training and input the problematic sentences you have identified, along with the correct result that the bot should arrive at when examining the sentence. This supervised Machine Learning will result in a higher rate of success for the next round of unsupervised Machine Learning. This process of cycling between your supervision and independently carrying out the assessment of sentences will eventually result in a highly refined and successful model.
The great news is that we provide pre-trained NLP models.
These are state-of-the-art Entity-seeking models, which have been trained against massive datasets of sentences.
So, for example, our NLP model Negative Entities is ideal for recognizing frustration in the user.

Ok you guys, listen up cause I got a problem right now. I have a pair of these original release Air Carnivores but here is the problem… there are no pictures of the Air Carnivore in this colorway ANYWHERE online.
Yup. If you are looking at these kicks right now, then it is the first time you have seen it in this colorway since its release.
But here is the problem… and some of yall might be mad at me for even asking but here it goes; are these real or fake?
Got them from a franchise store (not sure if it was Footlocker, Dr Jays, or what…) and they have all the tags and junk but the fact that there are no pictures of these in this colorway NOR does anyone even MENTION this colorway in any of the Air Carnivore posts… man its got me thinking twice, no thrice, about these kicks being real.
Hands down though, this is the best freakin colorway of the original 3 that were made. More pics coming up and will be featured on the main site. | <urn:uuid:a0299713-4765-4ee8-a209-8e81cbed22fa> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sneakersandshoes.com/2010/01/15/og-air-carnivore-in-puple-and-black-no-way/ | 2023-09-28T17:25:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.961532 | 240 |

Right-of-Way Violations in New York
Right-of-way violations are among the most common and deadly causes of traffic accidents in New York. Knowing the specific dangers that right-of-way accidents pose, as well as the specific state regulations and protections in place is essential for victims seeking legal compensation for damages.
Failure to Yield the Right of Way: A Fatal Nationwide Problem
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), failure to yield the right of way was the fourth leading cause of deadly crashes nationwide in 2018. 3,579 drivers and motorcyclists (7 percent of all fatal accidents in 2018) violated right-of-way laws, while distracted drivers in fatal crashes totaled 2,688 (5.2 percent of deaths).
Failure to yield is also partly to blame for the rising death toll of pedestrians and cyclists in New York’s metropolitan areas including Chelsea, NYC, and Sunset Park, Brooklyn. However, data shows good news for the rest of the state: a 6.3 percent decline in fatal accidents from 1,006 in 2017, to 943 in 2018.
Motorists—not careless pedestrians—were found to have caused most of New York’s fatal traffic accidents in 2019, with failing to yield the right of way found to be a top contributor.
Who Has the Legal Right of Way?
Failure to yield the right of way is a key factor in car crashes at intersections. Most collisions happen when a driver is attempting to turn. The fact that the light has turned green isn’t enough to decide who has the right to turn first. That’s where the New York right-of-way laws come in. These laws are designed to settle conflicts before there’s a crash.
One of the most misunderstood rules of the road, according to the New York Safety Council, is the law that requires drivers to yield to the driver on the right. Take, for example, when two drivers are approaching from opposite directions and reach the intersection simultaneously. The driver seeking to turn left is the one who must yield to traffic heading straight or turning right. Yielding to the driver on the right also applies at stop sign intersections.
There is usually no room for interpretation as to who has the right of way when a green arrow gives the drivers in the left-turn lane a head start. If there is no arrow, however, drivers can be tempted to hang a sharp left as soon as the light turns green to clear the intersection ahead of oncoming traffic. In these situations, the law states that drivers can only turn left in front of a driver coming straight through a green light if you can do so without creating a hazard. When in doubt, always wait for oncoming traffic to clear as much as possible before making a left turn.
There are many right-of-way rules covering all types of driving scenarios. Here are a few that are frequently ignored:
- First come, first served: If you’re not the first driver to approach the intersection, the right of way goes to traffic that’s already there.
- Always avoid gridlock: Green light or not, stay out of the intersection if proceeding will cause a traffic jam or risk a hefty ticket.
- Rotaries: At a traffic circle or rotary, a driver about to enter must always yield to those already in the circle.
- At a T Intersection: The right of way goes to drivers on the through street.
- All uphill from here: On narrow mountain roads, drivers going uphill have the right of way. Vehicles headed downhill must make make room for uphill drivers to have safe passage.
- Emergency protocol: Drivers on both sides of the road must always pull over and yield to emergency vehicles when they display flashing lights or sound a siren or air horn.
Right of Way Law and Pedestrians
More than 25 percent of all traffic deaths In New York State involve pedestrians, with young children and older adults being the most vulnerable. One of the most common—and potentially deadly—battles for right of way on New York streets is pedestrians versus vehicles. The 300-plus pedestrian fatalities each year in New York State shows disregard or perhaps confusion over the right-of-way laws as they relate to foot traffic.
How to Avoid Right-of-Way Violation Penalties
New York drivers face stiff penalties for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk—everything from three points on their license to a $150 fine for the first violation and/or 15 days in jail. Here are a few basics that can keep drivers out of hot water:
- Drivers must yield to pedestrians legally using marked and unmarked crosswalks.
- If stopped at a red light and the light turns green, drivers must wait if a pedestrian is still crossing.
- Motorists must yield to pedestrians on the left or right when making a turn.
- Drivers must yield to both vehicles and pedestrians when entering the road from a driveway, alley, private road, or any other non-roadway.
- A yield sign gives the right of way to pedestrians in a crosswalk. If a driver goes past a yield sign without stopping and hits a pedestrian (or another vehicle in the intersection), the accident will be deemed prima facie (automatic) evidence of failure to yield the right of way.
Most of this is quite plain—after all it’s in the driver’s manual, but there can be some uncertainty in drivers’ and pedestrians’ minds over rules in unmarked crosswalks and the legal use of crosswalks. Drivers should expect to yield to pedestrians at intersections, whether they are marked as such or not. In addition to the obvious lined crosswalk, the NY Department of Transportation defines a crosswalk as any part of the road at an intersection between the curbs on opposite sides of the roadway or, if there are no curbs, between the edges of the road.
Pedestrians have the legal right of way using a crosswalk when there is a “Walk” sign or person symbol activated. If there is a non-flashing “Don’t Walk” sign or upraised hand signal, pedestrians must stay put. When a “Walk” signal is flashing, only the pedestrians that are already in the process of using a crosswalk have the legal right of way, and so can continue on to the other side, or a safety island between two roads. If there are no pedestrian signals present, state law prohibits crossing in front of traffic that has a green light.
Right-of-Way Violation Fines in New York
Pedestrians have the legal right of way using a crosswalk when there is a “Walk” sign or person symbol activated. If there is a non-flashing “Don’t Walk” sign or upraised hand signal, pedestrians must stay at the curb. When a “Walk” signal is flashing, only the pedestrians that are already in the process of using a crosswalk have the legal right of way, and so can continue on to the other side, or a safety island between two roads. If there are no pedestrian signals present, state law prohibits crossing in front of traffic that has a green light.
Regardless of whether a pedestrian is crossing legally, the driver must always exercise due care, which means doing everything in his power not to hit any person, cyclist, or animal in the road. It is also against the law—and extremely dangerous—for a vehicle approaching from the rear to overtake and pass one that is stopping for a pedestrian in the crosswalk.
Right-of-Way Laws & Bicyclists
Cyclists have all the rights and responsibilities of drivers, but are also protected by exclusive right-of-way laws.
According to New York Bicycling Coalition, any driver who fails to yield to a pedestrian or cyclist when they have the right of way could face a civil penalty of not more than $100 along with any other penalties, and if someone is hit, the civil penalty alone can be up to $250.
What to Do After a Right of Way Crash
If another driver was negligent and you need to seek medical care, a personal injury attorney can handle your case from start to finish. But there are several steps that you can take starting at the scene of the accident to strengthen your right-of-way lawsuit.
Steps to Take Immediately After a Right-of-Way Accident
- Get Names & Numbers: If there are witnesses at the scene, including any passengers, take a moment to gather names and contact information.
- Exchange Information: Collect the driver license numbers, registrations, and insurance details of all involved parties, as well as the name and contact information for the car owners, and vehicle identification numbers.
- Take Pictures: Take pictures of everything from hazards, to skid marks, and any vehicle damage—ideally from as many different angles as possible. Take back-up shots of the other driver’s license plates and documents for quick reference.
- When Police Arrive: Once officers respond, volunteer to give as little information as possible. Request the officer’s name, badge number, and contact info for easier follow-up.
- Write Down Details of Your Accident: Record notes regarding details of the accident, including weather conditions, and any other variables that may have played a part in causing injury or damage. These details may prove to be crucial in helping win your settlement, should you decide to take your case to court.
After taking these steps, there are two crucial deadlines to be aware of:
- Under New York law, motorists must file form MV-104 with the Department of Motor Vehicles within 10 days of any accident if there is injury, death, or property damage of more than $1,000 for any motorist.
- In New York, a no-fault insurance state, claims should be made ASAP with the other driver’s insurer but no later than 30 days of the crash unless you can provide written and reasonable proof for the delay.
Taking the time to collect these details will give your attorney a head start on your case, and ensure you build a strong lawsuit. However, an experienced car accident attorney will help you collect any necessary documents or evidence if you are unable to gather them yourself.

by Christine Marie / May 2006 issue of Socialist Action newspaper
“Not only we do want the troops home from Iraq, we do not want the maniacs to invade Iran! We are standing here with the people of Iran,” Cindy Sheehan declared at the press conference that kicked off the massive April 29 March for Peace, Justice, and Democracy in New York City.
Sheehan’s focus on tying the hands of an administration seriously flirting with military intervention against Iran was reflected in signs and chants from many of the contingents that were strung down Broadway from Union Square to Foley Square.
Daniel Ellsberg (who uncovered the “Pentagon Papers” during the Vietnam War) called on government functionaries to leak the plans and details of the government disputes over using nuclear weapons against Iran. Together, speakers and marchers soundly repudiated the U.S. government’s crude attempts to demonize Iran as part of the buildup of U.S. military action in the region and demonstrated the growing sophistication and resolve of the ranks of the antiwar movement.
The decision of United for Peace and Justice to add a demand about Iran about three weeks before the march helped to galvanize last-minute enthusiasm for April 29 at the grassroots and contributed to turning out at least 100,000 marchers.
Equally significant was the mobilization by US Labor Against War of perhaps 10,000 trade unionists from throughout the Northeast and Midwest. According to USLAW coordinator Michael Eisenscher, “the trade-union contingent was the largest, broadest, and most spirited of any in 50 years or more.”
April 29 was certainly the first occasion in which the results of several years of patient education and cautious organizing around antiwar resolutions inside the house of labor were actually visible to the movement as whole. The presence of a significant layer of labor militants at the demonstration, coming just one month after the first large actions of Latino workers and their families around their victimization as part of the war at home, hinted at the potential for a more powerful working-class response to the Iraq War in the near future.
Veterans Against the War spokesperson Geoffrey Millard appealed especially to unionists and military families by demanding that the billions more just allocated for war be diverted to care for the injured veterans who have already been created.
The April 29 march against the war was called by a coalition of groups including United for Peace and Justice, the National Organization for Women, Rainbow Operation Push, Coalition for Climate Control, and others. With the exception of UFPJ and USLAW, few major organizations seemed to have actually tried to mobilize their constituencies. Yet the demonstration attracted many first-time marchers.
One of the most inspiring aspects of the march was the visibility of Latino activists and families, many undoubtedly feeling newly empowered by the massive mobilizations around immigrant rights. Local immigrant rights organizations carried large banners that clearly established their presence and heralded their future leadership role in the antiwar movement.
One of the most popular costumes at the march was a T-shirt that proclaimed, “No Human is Illegal” in English, Spanish, Chinese, and Arabic. These shirts—which appealed directly to marchers’ sense of the deep connections between anti-Arab racism, anti-immigrant racism, and the war—as well as the crowded Palestine Solidarity tent at Foley Square, were visible acknowledgements of the relationship between the war in Iraq and continued U.S. support for the Israeli land grab underway in the West Bank.
While the demonstration was a clear expression of the desire of the movement for big unified mobilizations, there was one very visible political division on display between forces that consciously identified with the Democratic Party foreign-policy initiatives and those who are fighting for a movement independent of all the war-making political parties.
The presence of speakers and signs promoting U.S. intervention into the Sudan were a surprisingly prominent part of the demonstration. Numerous printed placards proclaimed, “Out of Iraq, Into Dafur!” Jesse Jackson likewise declared at the opening press conference that today we are marching to bring the troops home, but “tomorrow we march for the end of genocide in Dafur.” Jackson was promoting the April 30 march on Washington, D.C., at which righteous horror about the genocide in Dafur was cynically
tied to calls for expanding the U.S. presence in the region.
The decision of the April 29 demonstration organizers to avoid holding a rally at which the diverse forces of the antiwar movement could share a stage meant that Jackson’s controversial call went unchallenged and that considerable confusion about the role of U.S. interventions in Africa has been introduced into the antiwar movement. Jackson’s intervention represented part of the larger threat to the antiwar movement posed by those from the Democratic Party who want to entice the antiwar movement out of the streets and into electioneering during the fall congressional campaigns.
So far, United for Peace and Justice has failed to project a calendar of antiwar activities for the summer and fall months that are genuinely independent of the war-making political parties. Upcoming regional antiwar conferences are projected as skills workshops that will, in fact, organize activists into Voters for Peace campaigns. While ostensibly non-partisan, these campaigns will certainly devolve over the autumn into “get out the vote” initiatives for Democratic Party politicians who continue to oppose immediate withdrawal from Iraq.
On the other hand, many antiwar activists will necessarily spend the summer educating about the need for an independent antiwar movement and pointing to the example provided by the immigrant rights movement—which overnight has managed to show that the power of working people is most effectively manifested in massive actions in the streets. | <urn:uuid:cb6ae2fd-f644-45d0-9f9f-3a868bad55ce> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://socialistaction.org/2006/05/03/huge-april-29-mobilization-demands-end-the-iraq-war-now/ | 2023-09-28T17:15:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.966308 | 1,181 |

The FAFSA Process
To be eligible for most types of financial aid, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Oregon Student Aid Application (ORSAA). These applications compile financial information and other details about students and families, which the US Department of Education and the State of Oregon use to determine financial need and eligibility for various financial aid opportunities.
SOU’s school code is “003219” when completing your application.
Who files the FAFSA? United States citizens and eligible noncitizens.
- The FAFSA opens October 1. You must reapply each academic year for financial aid.
- If this is your first time completing a FAFSA, you must create an FSA ID in order to sign your application. You and one of your parents (if you are a dependent undergraduate student) must sign your FAFSA electronically with your FSA IDs before the application can be fully processed.
- You should receive your Student Aid Report (SAR) Information Acknowledgment in the mail and/or email within one week of completing your FAFSA. Your SAR summarizes the information you reported on your FAFSA. Review the SAR for accuracy. If corrections need to be made, make the corrections online at studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa or correct the SAR and mail it to the address provided.
- The Office of Financial Aid at SOU begins processing new FAFSA data December of each year. Award packages will be processed tentatively beginning on or before February 1 of each year. Students will receive award notifications via SOU student email. Students who meet the priority deadline date will have their awards packaged first.
SOU FAFSA school code: 003219
In addition to Federal Student Aid, SOU students are encouraged to apply for scholarships here.
Southern Oregon University’s priority deadline for submitting the FAFSA is March 1.
All new and continuing students must meet the admissions deadline and have submitted a FAFSA including the SOU School Code 003219 no later than March 1.
Submitting your FAFSA as early as possible, after October 1 is recommended. FAFSA submissions after March 1 are still eligible for aid but will not be considered for some funds.
SOU will send you a financial aid offer after the successful completion of the FAFSA and all requested documentation.
Once your offer has been received, you will need to complete the financial aid checklist.
Applying for ORSAA
Who files the ORSAA? Oregon residents who have undocumented status, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status, and/or Temporary Protected Status (TPS). ORSAA Filers: Add email@example.com to your email contacts so that important messages do not go to your Spam/Junk folder.
The ORSAA opens on (or after) October 1 each year. Eligible students should complete the ORSAA as soon as possible after the application opens each year. Applying early ensures that students can access the most financial aid opportunities available to them.
ABOUT: The Oregon Student Aid Application (ORSAA) is an alternative to the FAFSA for undocumented Oregon students, including students who have Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status or Temporary Protected Status (TPS). By filing the ORSAA, eligible undocumented and DACA students in Oregon can get help paying for college through grants, scholarships, and tuition reduction. After you file the ORSAA, be sure to contact the financial aid office at your college to find out how to apply for the school’s additional financial aid opportunities.
Do NOT complete the ORSAA if you are (1) a U.S. citizen, (2) a legal noncitizen with an Alien Registration number, or (3) an international student who is in the United States with a valid visa. You are not eligible to receive Oregon Opportunity Grants or Oregon Promise grants if you are an international student attending school in Oregon under one of the following visas: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, TN, TD, U, V, TROV, or NATO.

Quantum Field “Breathing”
Discover inner peace and greater vitality through your own breath
It’s free! You only need to bring yourself.
My shamanic teacher started our weekly class with a breathing exercise. He didn’t explain anything instead he guided us to experience the power of our own breath. I laid down on my yoga mat and followed his instructions. I did notice some resistance at first but we were encouraged to persevere. After a few more breaths I entered into a deep and peaceful state.
After this profound experience I decided to make breathwork part of my well-being routine. After each practice I feel better, lighter and more alive. From a personal quest a community of “Quantum Breathers” has emerged who meet in the “Field” every week.
How does Quantum Breathing work?
We meet weekly on Tuesday’s in the Quantum Field at 10pm CET time for 20/30 minutes. A video is posted in a dedicated WhatsApp group. We meditate as individuals online yet as a group. We start the practice together or if your schedule doesn’t allow you can do the practice at your own time.
Something about our community
This group is about soulful living and self-growth. We value heartfelt and meaningful connections through shared purpose of love and compassion for self and society. The group grows organically. People from around the world happen to ‘find us’.
Join the healing power of the collective. It’s your opportunity to access deeper states of being and calmness in the quantum presence of like minded people.
By practicing the breathing exercises, you are releasing more energy, positively influencing your nervous system and changing various physiological responses. There are many scientifically proven studies available about the health and wellbeing benefits. | <urn:uuid:db1be35f-2e46-43e4-82c5-4ad6fb3a8a73> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://soul-luxury.com/events/quantum-field-breathing/ | 2023-09-28T19:03:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.94776 | 379 |

On Easter weekend 2009, Nottinghamshire Police raided a school in Sneinton, arresting 114 people. They were activists discussing whether to go ahead with an ambitious plan – to shut down the coal-fired power station at Ratcliffe-on-Soar power as a protest against climate change. The police operation was called Aeroscope, and among those arrested was one ‘Mark Stone’.
The arrests were not pivotal in the uncovering of Stone’s real identity as undercover police officer Mark John Kennedy in October 2010. However, that discovery lead some of those arrested and facing trial in January 2011 to seek full disclosure of his role – leading to the dramatic collapse of their trial when prosecution abruptly dropped the case the day the trial due to start.
This was the moment that the issue of spycops – the political infiltration of protest groups – became a national scandal. It was the hard tug on the string that unravelled the entire saga. In the months and years that followed, more undercovers were exposed and with them numerous wrong-doing, ultimately leading to the Undercover Policing Inquiry.
The immediate fallout from the collapse of the trial lead to several official reports into what went wrong. Less well-known is a set of documents disclosed in that trial which related to Mark Kennedy role in the planning of the protest. The disclosure is remarkable in itself, a rare insight into day-to-day intelligence gathering by the likes of Kennedy and how it was used. The picture grows considerably when all the material is put side by side.
Re-examining the material
This report is a full re-examination of the official reports in the light of that disclosure, and provides profiles of the officers involved. In the process, it illuminates key questions that have bothered many of those targeted. In particular, who knew what when about Kennedy’s deployment and how the unit that ran him, the National Public Order Intelligence Unit (NPOIU), interacted with mainstream policing. It also allows one to begin to see how NPOIU control of information led to miscarriages of justice. The answers we find here, we strongly believe, will be similar for other undercovers from the same unit, such as Lynn Watson and Marco Jacobs.
The analysis raises other awkward questions. It was clear the original investigative reports did not give a full account. People occupying key positions were not questioned and their roles downplayed, especially for the top echelons of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and Nottinghamshire Police. It is quite clear the full story was deliberately not told in those official reports, especially regarding how much policy decisions at top levels to keep the role of an undercover officer secret set the stage for the cover-up and miscarriages of justice that followed.
The re-analysis opens the way for wider issues to be considered. Was what happened in Nottinghamshire in 2009 a one-off, or is there a systemic problem, indicating that miscarriages of justice were likely taking place where other undercovers were deployed. In 2004, the Government established cross-agency forums targeting protestors, leading to the formation of ‘domestic extremism’ units within the police and CPS.
For this reason, we believe the methods and approaches that played out in Operation Aeroscope were the norm not the exception, something the Undercover Policing Inquiry will need to address, including putting the CPS under the spotlight. | <urn:uuid:f5dec34b-0ecd-4c6e-9f7c-bc400a84d9b1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://specialbranchfiles.uk/operation-aeroscope-reexamination-introduction/ | 2023-09-28T18:00:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.974259 | 698 |
We absolutely love spending time on our couches! We can watch a whole series in one weekend and think nothing of it. We cuddle our pets and even share our chips with them. Unfortunately, as much as we love our good old couch, it can be a huge distraction if you’re selling your home. There’s something about a grungy couch that makes people wonder what other areas of your home are as unkempt as the sofa.
Well, we have a few deep cleaning tips that’ll help revitalize your couch so it looks new.
1. Thoroughly vacuum
Before you can even begin the deep cleaning process, you should vacuum the entire couch one or two times. Pay close attention to the corners and inside the crevices so that you get every bit of dry debris because they’ll be a pain to get rid of after you’ve applied the wet solution!
2. Make a mild cleaning solution
Create a mild solution using 10% vinegar or soap and 90% water. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray the mixture onto a small patch of fabric in a spot that’s easy to hide. If the solution doesn’t damage the fabric, lightly spray the mixture on the couch and wipe it with a soft brush or a cloth to loosen any solid debris that you couldn’t get with the vacuum.
3. Dry the couch
After the problem areas have been cleaned up, you’ll need to dry the couch using a ceiling fan or a box fan. Ideally, a 6-foot couch will take about 2 hours to dry completely, providing you didn’t spray the couch with too much cleaning solution.
How to get rid of tough stains
If your couch has stains on it, you can use the stain remover that you typically use for the laundry. Spray the stain and gently scrub it with a damp cloth. It should come clean within a few minutes.
Here’s how you can remove the tougher stains:
Pet urine is a tough stain because the acid in the urine will oxidize and could change the color of your fabric. This is why it’s really important to clean up this stain right away, as it could be a permanent stain. You’ll want to use an acidic rinse and enzyme that’ll attack the bacteria that causes stains and odors. After doing this, you can then use the cleaning solution mentioned above.
Coffee and/or blood
For coffee or blood stains, hydrogen peroxide is going to be a life saver. You’ll want to use a gentle cleaner on the stain and then treat the area with the hydrogen peroxide. Just be careful about how much you use because it could leave water stains if you use too much.
Mold and/or mildew
Mold and mildew is caused by excess moisture. If you see mildew growing, you can clean it using a mild cleaning solution. However, if you notice black mold or there’s a black stain after cleaning up the mildew, you’ll need to hire a professional to clean it. They’ll have the tools and cleaning solutions that’ll give you the best results.
Tips for deep cleaning the couch can be used on other furniture
Couches aren’t the only pieces of furniture that can get grody. You can use similar cleaning techniques outlined in this article on other upholstered pieces of furniture. Before cleaning anything, you’ll want to do a little bit of reconnaissance and see what kind of fabric is used. Some furniture pieces require dry-cleaning solvents and that can be a little trickier and require professional help. | <urn:uuid:6d24cecb-1608-4c71-a5a3-ad3e5dd3caba> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://speedyhomesolution.com/how-to-deep-clean-a-couch-so-buyers-wont-grouch/ | 2023-09-28T18:23:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.933525 | 775 |
Basement waterproofing is important to the safety of your house, and it must be performed with care. There are specific reasons that you should waterproof your basement because it will allow you to protect the integrity of your house. Furthermore, it is important that you hire a professional who has experience in this type of work. You must be sure that they can be trusted before making any agreements with them about waterproofing your home. Here are some reasons why you should consider basement waterproofing:
- If there is any leakage of water into your basement, it will harm the insulation that is in place. When you want to keep your home at a comfortable temperature, it is important to waterproof your basement in order to make this happen.
- Furthermore, when there are leaks present in your basement, mold can grow and stain the walls. This will make for an unsightly appearance in your home. The mold growth will lead to an unhealthy environment, which is why basement waterproofing is important if you want to make sure that the air quality in your home stays at a high level.
- There are many cases where water can seep through the walls of your house, and this can cause problems with the foundation. The foundation of a house is what keeps it stable, and when water seeps through the walls in this manner, it can cause cracks in the foundation. These cracks will make for an unstable home, which is not safe or pleasant to live in. It is important that you waterproof your basement if you want to protect the integrity of your foundation, and generally make sure that your house is in good condition.
- Waterproofing your basement will help you to protect the value of your home. If mold or water damage occurs in a basement because it has not been waterproofed, the cost of repairs will be much higher than if you had waterproofed it. The end result is that it is much cheaper to waterproof a basement than it is to deal with the consequences of neglecting your basement. | <urn:uuid:9f20a3a6-60b7-4149-8f12-934d95a7fd5c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://speedyhomesolution.com/key-benefits-of-basement-waterproofing/ | 2023-09-28T16:41:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.965907 | 402 |
7'' - Limited Edition Black Vinyl.
Los Bitchos new EP “Pah!” features a cover of "Tequila," originally by The Champs, which has become a favourite at Los Bitchos' incredible live shows, as well as a reimagining of King Gizzard's "Trapdoor." The band says of these songs, "We love King Gizzard and "Trapdoor" was a song of theirs that lent itself to a cover. It was that repetitive hook of "Trapdoor, trapdoor, trapdoor" that we found so captivating and trippy. It also translates beautifully as a guitar hook! Our version starts out like a dreary summer day and ramps up in a fast-paced tempo change that hints that all is not as it seems, and that trouble could be brewing.... Hehe..."

Podcast with Rahul Sood of Unikrn
Esports is taking its place as a preferred betting option during this time when all major sporting events have been postponed or cancelled. Rahul Sood, the CEO of the esports betting site Unikrn, says it’s not the way he thought it would happen, but he’ll take it.
In a sports-starved world, any kind of competition is king, and esports is emerging as a contender. Rahul Sood has spent the last five years building his company, Unikrn, which was the first to encourage betting on esports. With Mark Cuban as an early investor, Unikrn has solid backing, but has struggled to gain traction in the casino industry despite its focus on betting. That has changed since the coronavirus has shut down the bricks-and-mortar casinos. Esports is now at the front of the mind for sports book providers and casino operators. Sood explains what comes next. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros from Seattle where he’s hunkered down during this crisis. | <urn:uuid:66936603-fd7a-4cf9-beb7-3205f944500d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sportsquare.info/podcast-with-rahul-sood-of-unikrn/ | 2023-09-28T18:06:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.97373 | 222 |

Part-time CFO | Why Create A Business Plan
Many business owners understand that business plans can help them succeed says part-time CFO. But they still do not take the time to create this important document. There are many reasons why. From not knowing the information to include in a business plan. And not knowing how much time they need to spend on making it.
In fact, many entrepreneurs assume that they need to spend forty hours or more to create an effective document. But this is not necessarily true. In fact, part-time CFO says that there are diminishing returns on spending that kind of time on a document.
If a business owner can spend four hours and end up with the great business plan. Spending forty hours is not going to make that plan ten times better. Therefore, business owners should work as effectively on their plan as possible. So that they can spend most of their time working in their business to make it successful.
Also, business owners should get in the habit of updating their business plan every single year. The reason why. Is because a business owner should consider their business plan living document. That gets updated with new goals as they achieve previous goals. And updated as the financial circumstances of their business change.
Another important consideration is that if an entrepreneur spends forty hours in their first year making a business plan. And then never work on it again. It is not going to have the benefit of an entrepreneur’s experience as they run their business.
However, if an entrepreneur spends four hours each year. What they will learn in the first year will help ensure that the next four hours that they spend in year two will be much more effective and efficient. And each year after that, they will continue to learn so much more.
The reason why they should contact their part-time CFO to help them create a business plan. Is so that they can have accurate financial information. Such as cash flow projections. This is an extremely important aspect of the business plan. And a lot of objectives are determined by this report.
And even experienced chartered professional accountants struggle with creating an accurate cash flow projection. So if they get their accountants help on this. It will be more likely to be accurate as well as realistic. So that they are financial and tax planning can be much more accurate.
Business owners who work on their own cash flow projections usually make critical errors. And end up with cash flow projections that are inaccurate as well as far too optimistic. Which will not help that the objectives they come up within the business plan are achievable.
By working with the professional to help them create a business plan. Can help ensure that all of the time that a business owner spends is effective. And that they can get it completed in a short enough time frame. That they will be able to get on with running their business. And be able to be more effective. Because they will have a business plan that will help them succeed.
If You Need Our Help With A Part-time CFO?
When reason why many business owners end up with the business plan according to part-time CFO. Is because they need one in order to secure financing for their business. However, business owners should take the time to create a business plan. Regardless of the financing needs they have. Because it can be so helpful for business owners.
In fact, according to the survey done by Palo Alto, the software manufacturing company. Entrepreneurs that have a business plan are 50% more likely to grow their business. Then entrepreneurs who are running their business without a business plan.
However, despite the fact that many business owners are aware that a business plan is going to help them succeed. They still struggle with creating one. Or do not make the effort to have a business plan.
The reason is that a lot of business owners do not know where to start. Or do not know what information should go in a business plan. And others simply think it is going to take them more time than they actually have in their busy day.
However, by working with their accountant and their accountants business plan template. A great business plan should only take for meetings and four hours.
The first meeting with their part-time CFO accountant will be for the entrepreneur to explain all of their personal circumstances to the accountant. So that they can end up with a realistic and achievable business plan. They will explain things like their debt servicing such as mortgage, car payments, and credit card debt.
As well as if they have any other job or T4 income. If they have any dependents. Or if they have a spouse who is going to also be bringing in and income to the household.
This will help ensure that the part-time CFO accountant can put together an effective tax plan and financial plan that will be realistic to what an entrepreneur needs. They will be able to figure out how much salary the business owner needs to drop out of the business. And when they need to start getting paid as per their circumstances.
Business owners will also need to put their own vision into the business plan in meeting two. And this is where they should spend four hours of time. Since they are the only one that is going to be able to write in their goals and vision of the business. They should ensure that they spend the time to make sure they do not leave anything out.
The third meeting will be reviewing what the accountant has put into the business plan to help them achieve the vision that they described. So that an entrepreneur can confirm that they are ready willing and able to do all of the things that the accountant has put into their business plan. That is going to help them grow their business.
Creating a business plan does not need to take dozens of hours. But even a few hours of time every year. Will be far more effective than spending no time on this at all. | <urn:uuid:a40421f4-b94c-4259-9c8e-bc0a6475bfe1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://spurrell.ca/articles/part-time-cfo-why-create-a-business-plan-2/ | 2023-09-28T17:32:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.979086 | 1,198 |
Facebook plans to eliminate an exemption for politicians that allows them to post content deemed deceptive or abusive, and will hold them to the same standards as other users, news website The Verge reported Thursday.
The controversial exemption, given to politicians under the auspices of their posts being newsworthy, could end as soon as this week on the leading social network, the news site said.
Facebook did not immediately respond to an AFP request for comment on the matter.
The policy reversal would come after an independent oversight board said Facebook was right to oust former president Donald Trump for his comments regarding the deadly January 6 rampage at the US Capitol.
Trump was suspended from Facebook and Instagram after posting a video during the attack by his fired-up supporters challenging his election loss, in which he told them: “We love you, you’re very special.”
However, the panel gave Facebook six months to justify why his ban should be permanent — putting the ball in company chief Mark Zuckerberg’s court and spotlighting weaknesses in the platform’s plan for self-regulation.
Oversight panel co-chair Michael McConnell said in a May 9 interview on Fox News Sunday that Trump encouraged the Capitol rioters and so earned his Facebook ban, but the social media giant’s rules are in “shambles” and need fixing.
Zuckerberg has stressed his belief that private companies should not be the judges of truth when it comes to what people say.
Democrats have slammed online platforms for failing to stem misinformation while Republicans have contended that social networks are biased against conservatives.
Facebook is also planning to be more transparent about “strikes” issued to accounts for breaking content rules, according to the Verge. | <urn:uuid:53306e3e-eca4-4bbf-9833-7cfa245d58e1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://squidsaccess.com/2021/06/04/facebook-to-bar-politicians-from-posting-deceptive-content-report-3/ | 2023-09-28T18:45:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.973718 | 353 |
