Tom Brooke in Berberian Sound Studio
Berberian Sound Studio by Joel Horwood – Donmar Warehouse, London
Berberian Sound Studio is a stage version of the 2012 film, about a repressed English sound engineer whose documentaries about rutting deer on Box Hill and the South Downs get him a gig in Rome, working on torture scenes in a Italian giallo horror production. Peter Strickland’s film was curious and strange, heavy on atmosphere, light on events and hard to forget. It is easy to see why a film set mainly in a recording studio is so suited to the stage, and Tom Scutt has created a beautifully balanced and unusual piece of theatre.
The production values are a delight. Tom Scutt, also a designer, has created with Anna Yates a loving tribute to 1970s analogue technology, with a full-sized sound booth dominating the stage, all dark wood, tape reels and chrome switches. The sound team are dubbing a film directed by the legendary director Santini, and they gaze over the heads of the audience towards a supposed projection on the back wall. We never seen any film, but we hear everything and the sound design is a world in itself. Ben and Max Ringham create a pin-sharp soundscape in which the texture of a scream, analysed over and over, becomes compelling and thoroughly disturbing.
The casting of Tom Brooke, whose excellent stage work has often been in supporting roles, as the main character Gilderoy is a fine choice. His inability to cross the gulf between his life in Surrey with his mother and tape machines and the Gothic world of giallo is delivered with excruciating awkwardness. The play switches between moods in a disconcerting fashion from frustration and menace to choreographed comedy. Some of the best moments come when the two foley artists, Massimo and Massimo, perform increasingly elaborate sequences to accompany the film we cannot see – walking in high heels, splashing in buckets, wielding axes and chopping cabbages, all without a word.
As a sequential plot, Berberian Sound Studio doesn’t really go anywhere in particular, and this seems entirely natural, and an attempt in the dying moments to provide explanation and closure seems unneccessary. The enclosed world of the sound stage filters the outside world, allowing Gilderoy to edit and balance reality to fit the fiction. Hints creep in of what is happening back in Surrey through his mother’s taped messages, in which the fate of a chiff chaff nest implies horror off screen, while the studio becomes a torture chamber of its own. In the end though, the sound of Gilderoy snapping celery seems more terrifying than the breaking bones it seems to represent. Scutt’s production draws the audience into its world, and keeps them there, listening. | <urn:uuid:36c6a6d1-8001-4ab3-9165-5cc1f6992fbc> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://tombolton.co.uk/2019/03/10/berberian-sound-studio/ | 2019-07-23T07:52:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529007.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723064353-20190723090353-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.956871 | 582 |
Victor U. Okali
The Nellix® Endovascular Aneurysm Sealing System is approved to treat infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms in select regions. The November 17, 2016 edition of Journal of Endovascular Therapy includes Feasibility and Technical Aspects of Proximal Nellix-in-Nellix Extension for Late Caudal Endograft Migration. The purpose of the study was to describe the feasibility and technical aspects of a proximal Nellix-in-Nellix extension to treat caudal stent-graft migration after endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) in the in vitro and in vivo settings. ViVitro Product Manager, Joe McMahen (JM), spoke with Victor Okali (VO), Senior Research & Development Engineer at Endologix Inc., about their work.
JM: Could you please tell us about the recent work you are doing?
We generally use it to evaluate various aspects of the implant and physician training. In the AAA space there aren’t robust pre-clinical aortic models of disease, so we tend to rely on simulated environments using the ViVitro pump to answer questions related to procedure, delivery and design aspects of the implant. An example of this is lumen patency. Generally we like to know, “Under pulsatile conditions, can we maintain sufficient lumen patency to support adequate flow with our device implanted?”
Another area of study is the ability to track our delivery system to its intended location. How easy is it to navigate it through its tortuous path? Are there any challenges or design changes we need to make to get it to its intended location?
In general, the sim-use environment, driven by the ViVitro pump, gives us a robust method to evaluate design concepts as a system and the different challenge that could arise is clinical conditions.
JM: How is the work going? Is it completed?
VO: It is always ongoing. Every time we go through different design concepts, new challenges arise. We always work to evaluate the impact of each concept and the sim-use provides the ideal environment.
JM: What impact do you think this will have on the state of the art as far as AAA sealing?
VO: In terms of AAA seals, the interaction between the device and anatomical surface is critical to how well the device can provide seal from the AAA. This sim-use provides the closest bridge to understand this interaction. Without this system, you would have to make an assumption and guesses to could lead to unpredictable device performance.
JM: It sounds like it really shortens the loop in terms of R&D cycle.
VO: Yes. I think it also allows us to view the device as a system. There are other things we do initially, like component level characterization – work to help with device durability and performance. The simulation environment allows us to evaluate the system as a whole. Using this environment, it adds confidence to predict how well the device will performance in the field.
JM: What has been the reaction so far from your colleagues in the industry?
VO: It has been good, useful. Lots of physicians love it. Both from the technical and training standpoint. Many times with training, the hands-on aspect can be very useful. Once you tell them something and then you show them, the surgeons go, “Oh, I get it! I can see why you did this.” It provides a rationale as far as the different design paths we chose as a solution.
JM: So, it’s used quite often as a training tool?
VO: Yes. I would say about half and half.
JM: What role did the ViVitro SuperPump pulsatile pump play in the studies and how did it expand your system capabilities?
VO: Initially we had other pulsatile test bed simulation environments that didn’t give us control. The SuperPump pulsatile pump gives us better control to simulate the different clinical conditions our device interacts with in patients. You can manipulate stroke volume to get adequate rates, including the different pressures that we see in most patients. This system allows you to simulate hypertension patients, normal patients, and different things. It has been very useful in that regard.
JM: What are your plans for the future?
OV: The plans for the future is to continue efforts to incorporate additional clinically relevant conditions. The dynamic chronic changes that occur in vivo is the ideal test bed I hope we can one day achieve. | <urn:uuid:de514f14-e430-4851-8a36-e61c466b6b82> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://vivitrolabs.com/interview-victor-u-okali-discusses-aaa-implants/ | 2019-07-23T07:28:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529007.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723064353-20190723090353-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.943036 | 945 |

The Tip of the Month, brought to you by Atlassian University, is a monthly series to help master Atlassian tools. Products are more fun to use when you know all the tricks.
Hey Everyone! In the month of February we did a series on JQL at atlassianblog.wpengine.com. It’s a quickstart guide to making the transition from simple searching to advanced searching in Jira. JQL is the most efficient way to access issues at all levels in Jira.
- Intro to Jira Query Language (JQL) – 1 of 4
- JQL Functions and Searching Change History – 2 of 4
- Places in Jira to use JQL – 3 of 4
- Extensions in the marketplace that extend the JQL language – 4 of 4
One pointer for the Jira Admins… when making changes to custom fields, Jira shows a message to re-index data to include the new custom field changes. Don’t ignore that message! Failure to re-index Jira can lead to JQL searches that don’t have the latest data from your Jira instance.
Search early, search often. Go JQL!

Political correctness puts our national security at risk. Case in point: The FBI’s persistent kowtowing to radical Muslims in its approach to terrorism investigations.
I’ve written previously about the FBI’s Muslim sensitivity training programs. WorldNetDaily has done some outstanding reporting on workshops run by the FBI that “educate” agents about Muslim customs and beliefs in an attempt to help them to “break down barriers” and foster “mutual understanding.”
Well, now it appears the FBI has taken another giant step down a very dangerous path with FBI Director Robert Mueller’s secret meeting with radical Islamic organizations and allowing them effectively to “edit” the FBI’s training manuals.
Last week we filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seeking access to records detailing a February 8, 2012, meeting between FBI Director Robert Mueller and Muslim organizations. Judicial Watch is also investigating the FBI’s subsequent controversial decision to purge the agency’s training curricula of material deemed “offensive” to Muslims.
On March 7, 2012, Judicial Watch submitted FOIA requests to the FBI and the DOJ seeking access to records regarding the meeting. We’re after “any and all records setting criteria or guidelines for FBI curricula on Islam or records identifying potentially offensive material within the FBI curricula on Islam,” and any directives to withdraw FBI presentations and curricula on Islam.
We’ve also asked for records of communications between the Office of the Attorney General and several entities, including the Obama White House, the Executive Office of the President, and Muslim organizations, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic Society of North America, and the Council for American-Islamic Relations regarding the FBI’s curricula on Islam.
The FBI acknowledged receipt of our FOIA request on March 20, 2012, and was required to respond by May 1, 2012. The DOJ acknowledged receiving Judicial Watch’s FOIA request on March 14, 2012, and was required to respond by April 11, 2012. But so far, after months, we’ve received nothing from either agency.
According to the press, Mueller reportedly met secretly on February 8, 2012, at FBI headquarters with a coalition of Islamist organizations, some with radical ties to terrorist organizations.
For example, per The Washington Examiner, one group that reportedly met with Mueller – the Islamic Society of North America – “was tied to the terror groups Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood in federal court documents.” The government named the Islamic Society of North America as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorist financing lawsuit, along with the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the North American Islamic Trust.
During the February 8 meeting, Mueller reportedly assured the Islamic groups in attendance that the agency had ordered the removal of presentations and curricula that were deemed “offensive” from FBI offices around the country. As reported by NPR, overall, “The FBI has completed a review of offensive training material and has purged 876 pages and 392 presentations, according to a briefing provided to lawmakers.”
The material purge was allegedly initiated in response to a letter of complaint sent by Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL). However, other members of Congress, including Rep. Allen West (R-FL), object to allowing radical Muslim organizations the opportunity to dictate U.S. counterterrorism policy and want the material to be reinserted into the documents: “Now you have an environment of political correctness which precludes these agents from doing their proper job and due diligence to go after the perceived threat,” Congressman West said.
I couldn’t agree more. There is no question that the country is less safe when we allow radical Muslim organizations to tell the FBI how to train its agents and do its job. The Obama administration owes the American people a full accounting of how and why this terrible decision was made.

Kyushu, Japanese Kyūshū (“Nine Provinces”), southernmost and third largest of the four main islands of Japan. It is bordered by the East China Sea to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east. Its name refers to the nine ancient provinces (kuni) into which the island was once divided. Kyushu is also the country’s southernmost chihō (region), which includes, in addition to the main island, nearby islands and the long Ryukyu archipelago stretching out for some 700 miles (1,100 km) to the southwest.
Kyushu is separated from the island of Honshu to the north by the Shimonoseki Strait and from Korea to the northwest by the Tsushima Strait, or Eastern Channel. The island is composed of a complex system of volcanic ranges. The climate in the south is subtropical, and Kyushu is known for its subtropical vegetation and heavy rainfall. It is the site of Mount Aso, the world’s largest active volcanic crater, and of Aso-Kuju, Kirishima-Yaku, and Unzen-Amakusa national parks. Beppu is a well-known hot-springs resort.
The main crops raised on the island include rice, tea, tobacco, sweet potatoes, and citrus fruit. Industries, concentrated in northern Kyushu, include iron and steel and chemicals. Saga ken (prefecture) is famous for porcelain and pottery.
Kyushu and the near islands are divided into the seven prefectures of Fukuoka, Kagoshima (including a portion of the Ryukyus), Kumamoto, Miyazaki, Nagasaki, Ōita, and Saga. In addition, the region includes the portion of the Ryukyus within Okinawa prefecture. The chief cities are the northern industrial complex of Kita-Kyūshū, the commercial centre of Fukuoka, and Nagasaki. Area island, 14,177 square miles (36,719 square km); region, 17,157 square miles (44,436 square km). Pop. region, (2010) 14,596,783.

3 Foods That Can Make You Depressed
If you’ve been struggling with depression for some time but can’t seem to get out of your rut despite medication and therapy, you may need to take a look at your diet. There are certain foods that could trigger depressed feelings. Here are some foods you may want to avoid.
1. Artificial sweeteners
If you drink diet sodas, then you’re probably familiar with the sweeteners manufacturers use to replace the sugary stuff. Artificial sweeteners may taste good and give low-calorie foods a better taste, but they can wreck your mood. Author Therese J. Borchard said it’s in your best interest to stay away from fake sugar. “Aspartame is bad stuff. Especially if you are prone to depression. It blocks the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin and causes mood dips, headaches, and insomnia…If you really need a soda fix, go for the fully leaded. The refined sugar, while not health food, is better for you than the fake kind,” said Borchard.
2. Junk food
Grabbing a bag of chips or some other quick, tasty meal is convenient, but it could cost you in the long run. Studies show that meals with low or no nutritional value could contribute to depression since nutrients are needed to help balance brain chemicals. Dr. Carolyn Dean, medical director of the Nutritional Magnesium Association, says nutrition is key. “We know that nutrients such as magnesium, essential fatty acids, and vitamin B6 and B12 help create neurotransmitters, and we are also learning that a deficiency in these nutrients can lead to a chemical imbalance in the brain,” Dr. Dean told Everyday Health.
3. Trans fat
Fatty foods could add to a case of the blues. Artificial trans fats are manufactured during a process that adds hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils, making them more solid. So if you’re a fan of fried food, you won’t be happy to hear that the main source of artificial trans fats is partially hydrogenated oils, which are commonly used in fried food and could contribute to a depressed mood. As an alternative, add olive oil to your diet. Researcher Almudena Sanchez-Villegas, who conducted a study on the effects of fatty foods on mood, says olive oil can help lower depression risk. “The participants with an olive oil consumption higher than 20 grams a day (about 0.7 ounces) had a 30% lower risk of depression than those without consumption or with a very low consumption of olive oil,” Sanchez-Villegas told Web MD. | <urn:uuid:7902174d-e765-4ca0-93bf-eeae78b367d2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.cheatsheet.com/health-fitness/foods-that-can-make-you-depressed.html/ | 2019-07-23T06:47:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529007.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723064353-20190723090353-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.94092 | 549 |

A few readers have asked us to post these types of investment deals when we see them. This seems similar to other offers on the market (e.g Ally Invest) but the $500,000 tier is $1,500 instead of the standard $1,200. I’d be happy to post these types of deals more often, but I’m interested to hear from readers that find these posts helpful. What type of things are important when it comes to investment bonuses (e.g with bank account bonuses we care about the bonus, direct deposit requirements, soft pull, credit card funding, fees etc). If I’m going to post these types of deals it’s useful to know what I should be looking for and why.

No one likes to trip on a cracked sidewalk, or trip over a root sticking up in the yard. Chopping out the root will only cause the tree stress, and the roots will grow back. Ornamental pears unfortunately have this problem due to the nature of their root system. But with proper spacing and siting, you can enjoy the many benefits an ornamental pear tree has to offer.
An ornamental pear has very shallow root systems and can become a nuisance as the tree matures and the large roots push up through the surface. If an ornamental pear is planted too close to a sidewalk, driveway or foundation, the limited space will force the tree to break through cracks in the concrete, asphalt or breeze blocks. Roots looking for water and nutrients can penetrate these tough materials and create trip areas. Properly spacing your ornamental pear tree will help to prevent some of these problems.
Spacing Is Key
There are many cultivars of flowering ornamental pears, but an average height is 30 feet by 25 feet wide. Trees should be planted at least their widths' measurements from foundations, sidewalks and driveways. Young feeder roots grow to the width of the canopy, catching dripping rainfall for uptake. If you buy a variety of ornamental pear that only gets 15 feet wide, you should plant your tree 15 feet from any structure to prevent damage from the roots.
Ornamental Pear Landscape Uses
Ornamental pears bring several attributes to the landscape that make them a nice selection for a small shade tree, specimen plant or mass screen plantings. The white, five-petaled spring blooms are showy and have a distinctly strong, sweet smell. The summer foliage is shiny green, with many varieties lacking messy fruit. This makes it a nice alternative to crabapples. Fall colour ranges from red, orange, purple and yellow, and is one of the strongest attributes of this tree.
There are many cultivars available for Pyrus calleryana. "Aristocrat" has a pyramidal shape that is hardier than "Bradford." "Autumn Blaze" has a consistent reddish, purple colour, for which it is often selected. "Chanticleer," also known as "Cleveland Select," is a nice upright form that will grow only 35 feet high and 16 feet wide. "Capital" is even more upright, growing to only 8 feet wide. Capital makes a nice substitution for Lombardy poplars for screen planting.

The Guide to the Perfect Mimosa
Get ready to say, “Oh THAT’S what a mimosa is supposed to taste like.”
Because if you’ve ever succumbed to the allure of an all-you-can-drink bottomless mimosa brunch—then you know how truly awful a mimosa can be when not done right.
You (and your guests) deserve better.
Like a great cup of coffee, the mimosa is a simple recipe that can be deceptively difficult to perfect. Don’t you worry—I’ve got you covered with the tips you need to make the perfect mimosa.
1. Start with the sparkling.
Cava works best for mimosas, as the bubbles last longer than in prosecco. Cava is made like champagne, with the second fermentation taking place in the bottle rather than a large tank. It is almost always dry as well, making it the perfect wine for cocktails. I recommend Bohigas Cava for only $18 per bottle. They are the one of the oldest producers and make the wine in a very classic style.
2. Squeeze your own juice!
The end result is worth the effort and you don’t need that much. Keep it classic with citrus and don’t be afraid to blend your citrus juice. I love orange + lime together for a tangy and refreshing taste. Chill after juicing and strain if you would like to remove the pulp.
3. Mix it up.
One part juice with three parts sparkling is the magic ratio.
4. Pick the right glassware.
Flutes are great, but I tend to choose a tumbler for mimosas. The wide mouth of the glass allows you to enjoy the aromas and prevents spills! | <urn:uuid:6af33d20-c982-4ac7-876e-1a724a950de6> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.girlandthebay.com/blog/the-perfect-mimosa | 2019-07-23T08:14:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529007.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723064353-20190723090353-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.91321 | 378 |
Hampie Flower first started growing year-round chrysanthemums in Naaldwijk in 1985. Since 2004, the nursery has been based in a new 30,000m² building with the focus on the production of several varieties of chrysanthemums. The management team of Hampie Flower BV consists of Piet de Bruijn Sr., Hans de Bruijn and, since 1st January 2014, Piet de Bruijn Jr.
Hampie Flower’s industrial greenhouses are equipped with the most advanced machinery and technical equipment.

The production process is fully automated. The flowers are cut by robots and carried on an underground transport system to the processing area to be bundled, packaged and labelled.
We deliver directly to brokers and auctions, but we also market our products worldwide. Our carrier always ensures that the products are cooled and promptly delivered to your location. We can provide flexible delivery options in the short, medium and long term. At Hampie Flower we are committed to each deal, great or small.
We have a skilled workforce, who are responsible for the distribution of our products; they guarantee that your order arrives on time and in perfect condition.
The management team of Hampie Flower believes that maintaining a good (informal) working relationship with its clients is essential. What the customer wants, the customer gets. Orders are therefore almost always tailor-made to the needs of our client. Hampie Flower can always satisfy any particular requirements due to its extensive range of chrysanthemums.
Hampie Flower BV is MPS-A certified. The Horticultural Environmental Programme (MPS) certification represents the highest possible achievement in corporate social responsibility within the horticultural world. It acts as a yardstick, showing to what extent a company’s production is environmentally sustainable in the areas of plant feed, water, energy, and crop protection using biological pest control. Our products have been fully certified, which is an important aspect to our supply chain customers. | <urn:uuid:ba98cd37-f080-4327-9867-afd8cd168af3> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.hampieflower.nl/?lang=en | 2019-07-23T07:28:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529007.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723064353-20190723090353-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.936539 | 466 |
As strange as it may sound, there is actually a market for haunted dolls online, and people are dusting off old toys in hopes of getting a piece of this creepy but lucrative business.
There’s even a guide on eBay instructing people on how to buy and sell haunted items online. Trumpeting the guide as “common sense,” the writer recommends such safeguards as never buying an item without some sort of documentation of its supernatural abilities to always keeping sea salt and holy water on hand to bless your home with — as well as a dire warning against making an impulse buy of a haunted item.
“Please do not purchase any haunted items unless you are willing and able to deal with the consequences it may bring into your life.”
Jak Hutchcraft, who writes for Vice, explained in an interview with NPR that he stumbled across the phenomenon of selling haunted dolls while surfing the “Everything Else” section of eBay.
“There was an advert for something which was a sadistic, perverted, haunted doll,” Hutchcraft says. “It was this little, menacing-looking sort of troll.” The ad included a warning that the doll should be bought only by “experienced, adult collectors,” and explained that the doll was possessed by a male demon, and constantly shed its own clothes no matter how many times she was dressed. The ad also claimed that the haunted doll was “sexually abusive” towards other dolls.
And yet, the bids for the sexually abusive, haunted doll kept going higher, and it sold for more than $1,400.
Intrigued by the whole idea that not only were people selling haunted dolls online, but that there were people willing to pay hefty sums for said haunted dolls, Hutchcraft decided to do some investigating of the creepy market and the sellers that drive it.
To begin with, Hutchcraft reached out to Nancy Oyola, an online seller located in New Jersey who sells haunted dolls on her Etsy page, claiming she inherited more than 300 such items from her psychic grandmother, who passed way at the age of 102. Hutchcraft asked her why someone would buy a haunted doll.
“People are fascinated by them. Many people who work with black or white magic are in need of a particular spirit to help them with their spells and rituals, so I can help.”
And it seems as though her buyers believe her to be legitimate, as the buyer feedback from those who purchased their haunted dolls from Oyola is positive.
In fact, Oyola explained, buyer feedback, along with a spooky story to go with the dolls, are about the only guarantees a seller can offer, although some sellers are able to pair their haunted dolls with EVP (electronic voice phenomena) readings.
Jayne Harris has also made a rather big name for herself in the market of haunted dolls and possessed toys, selling at least one haunted doll a week to the growing community of people who are in the market for such an item. Harris, however, explains that people don’t “buy” haunted dolls — they “adopt them,” as if rather than owning the object, they want to give the spirit inside it a loving home.
“There are some people who are interested because they don’t have children of their own,” Harris explained. “They ask if I’ve come across any spirited children that are in limbo. There’s a lot of pressure on me to get it right. I don’t give them out to just anybody.”
Other purchasers are often members of paranormal investigation groups in search of props to take along with them during investigations.
But before you jump online in order to buy your very own haunted doll, the Common Sense Guide To Buying & Selling Haunted Items on eBay has a final warning.
“Have a plan of action of how you are to dispose of the item if it starts wreaking havoc in your home! Some of the activity we have witnessed from haunted items [is] banging on walls, scratching noises, walking sounds, moans, knocking, whispering, displaced objects, bed shaking, scents, ectoplasm…”
Who doesn’t have a plan in place for an ectoplasm situation?
There’s just something about old dolls, with their glassy eyes and cracked faces and matted tangles of hair, that makes them seem frightening. And with movies ranging from the cult-classic Chucky to the “based on real events” Annabelle, there are plenty of horror stories to bolster the creep-factor of dolls and play on people’s fearful fascination with them. And one Scottish woman could certainly go into business for herself, as she claims her own dolls are so haunted that she has to hire a babysitter when she is away — and has done so ever since one of her dolls set fire to her house when alone.

Gothic is the most perfect fusion of art and engineering that’s ever been devised: it looks good because it’s structurally sound! Twelfth century France made the breakthrough but such was Gothic’s flexibility that England soon developed its own version – flowery and wayward to start with, grand and dignified later on. The course will follow these winding evolutions and tie them into their historical background. When the Reformation hit Europe, the style went underground. But when it did re-emerge and the Gothic revival got underway, this time it was England that made the breakthrough and this is when the astonishing story reaches its climax! | <urn:uuid:94c341cb-9220-41ed-adad-c2b22ab84865> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.leisurecourses.net/course/english-gothic-600-years-of-a-style/ | 2019-07-23T06:57:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529007.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723064353-20190723090353-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.971885 | 134 |

The Ring Video Doorbell Pro is one of the best all-around smart doorbell cameras you can buy as long as you’re willing to hardwire it.
The Video Doorbell 2 is Ring’s core model, offering a smart doorbell camera that can be hardwired or battery-powered — but if you're set on using doorbell wiring, then you should consider bumping up to the Ring Video Doorbell Pro instead.
By and large, they have the same feature set and core functionality, but the Ring Video Doorbell Pro does it with a much slimmer and sleeker profile, with a size that's much more likely to fit on your doorframe where the current wiring sits. And it does offer one big bonus perk in the form of truly customizable motion detection zones, letting you carve out the portion of your yard or property that you want its digital eye focused on.
We tested the Ring Video Doorbell Pro for a full week, putting the device through its paces as we answered doorbell buzzes, scoped out motion alerts, and contemplated how it stacks up against other leading smart doorbell cameras on the market today.
It might not be easy to tell from photos, but put them side-by-side and the size difference between the Ring Video Doorbell Pro and Ring Video Doorbell 2 is immediately obvious: the Pro is much, much smaller and slimmer. At 4.50 x 1.85 x 0.80 inches, the Pro is 0.65 inches narrower across than the Ring Video Doorbell 2, which can make a world of difference when attempting to mount it on your doorframe.
Beyond the trimmed bulk, the Ring Video Doorbell Pro also has a more sophisticated allure. The button here is even more prominent, standing out from the black surface and surrounded by a glowing white ring (that rapidly rotates and turns blue when pressed), with the camera in view immediately above. It also comes with more faceplate options, with Satin Black, Satin Nickel, Dark Bronze, and Satin White shells included.
The Ring Video Doorbell Pro has a sophisticated allure.
The Ring Video Doorbell Pro must be hardwired to your existing doorbell wiring. If you feel confident handling electrical wires and you know that your transformer is powerful enough (16-24 VAC) to handle it, then you might be able to install it yourself. Just remember to shut off the power before doing so.
On the other hand, if you don't feel comfortable fiddling with electric wires of any kind, then you will want to enlist the help of an electrician or professional installer. You will probably want an electrician to help with any modifications to your current doorbell setup, including installing a more powerful transistor or mounting the included Pro Power Kit attachment to your chime box. In our case, we hired a licensed electrician to complete the physical installation process.
The Ring Video Doorbell Pro comes with multiple angled installation mounts, in case you need to install the doorbell at a downward or upward angle, or with a tilted side. In our case, we used the side-angled mount to account for a small lip on the storm door frame, with the end result being nearly flat once installed.
From there, the setup process within the Ring app is very straightforward. You'll create an account, plug in your home Wi-Fi information, and then give it a couple of minutes to complete. It was smooth sailing on our end.
We've had a great experience with the Ring Video Doorbell Pro, which impressed us with reliable and precise motion detection and strong video quality. The Ring Video Doorbell Pro consistently scans the image in view and sends an alert to your phone when it detects movement. Live on a busy street? If so, you might get more alerts than you'd want or need — but that can be tweaked with ease.
The Pro's custom motion zones feature lets you choose the exact dimensions of your walk-up that you want alerts for. It's as easy as dragging and dropping points on the screen to create a map of your yard or property, excluding the street or even sidewalk if you please. It did wonders to cut down on unnecessary notifications on our end, and only registered the rare occasional false alert (say, from a passing truck) thereafter.
The Ring Video Doorbell Pro is one of the most stylish smart doorbell cameras on the market, with a svelte and alluring design that's small enough to fit on most door frames.
When someone presses the button, you'll rapidly get an alert and be able to patch into a two-way call, in which you can both see and hear the person in front of your door and he or she can hear you. This makes it easy to dismiss an unwanted visitor or tell them to hold on a moment, or you can simply scan the image and choose not to engage — that's your call to make.
The Ring Video Doorbell Pro itself makes a modest chime noise when the button is pressed, but you may not hear it from further spots in your home. If you want more than just the alert on your phone, you can also buy a Ring Chime accessory, which plugs into any wall outlet in your home and plays an audible chime.
Additionally, you can connect your Ring account to Amazon's Alexa and get a vocal heads-up from your Echo when the button is pressed. You can also view the live video feed from an Amazon Echo Spot or Echo Show, plus Ring devices work with IFTTT (if this, then that) applets, opening up further smart device compatibility and other helpful features.
The Ring Video Doorbell Pro records 1080p footage with a 160-degree field of view, capturing crisp and colorful footage and putting it in the cloud for you to view at any time. You can zoom into video, as well, although the image will only get blurrier when you do so. In the evening, the doorbell automatically engages a night vision mode that makes it much easier to make out faces in low-light scenarios.
The Ring smartphone app for iOS and Android is a slick, well-designed experience that allows you to easily manage your Ring Video Doorbell Pro. You can also manage any other Ring doorbells or cameras at your home. It's here that you can view a live feed, loop back on any missed movement alerts or doorbell presses, and tweak the custom motion zones and other settings.
However, the downside of Ring's well-built app is the existence of the Ring Protect subscription service, which is required for viewing, sharing, and saving any recorded videos after your 30-day trial period. Without it, you can only view motion detection and doorbell press events when they happen, not after the fact. It's $3 per month (or $10 for multiple devices), so keep that in mind when considering your total investment.
The Ring smartphone app for iOS and Android is a slick, well-designed experience that allows you to easily manage your Ring Video Doorbell Pro.
At $249, the Ring Video Doorbell Pro is pricier than some other smart doorbell cameras on the market, including Ring's own Video Doorbell 2 ($199), the Nest Hello ($229), and the RCA Doorbell ($149). The added investment is worth it for the sleek and stylish design, strong performance and app experience, and ability to intricately tweak your motion detection zones.
As mentioned above, however, note that an ongoing subscription is necessary to unlock some key features of the Ring Video Doorbell Pro. Nest also has a paid subscription service to access similar features for its doorbell, while the RCA doorbell does not have any ongoing costs.
The biggest differences between the Ring Video Doorbell Pro and the RCA Video Doorbell come in the realms of price and style. There's a $100 gulf between them right off the bat, but you're getting a more polished and alluring design with the Ring Video Doorbell Pro. It's modern and enticing, while the RCA doorbell just looks like a hunk of plastic.
Functionally, however, they're very close. Both have reliable motion trackers and record clear video, with the RCA's optional Ultra HD setting showing more clarity when you zoom in. However, the Ring Video Doorbell Pro's custom zones are much smarter than the basic options with the RCA Video Doorbell, the Ring app experience is much cleaner and easier to understand, and Ring's devices have extended smart home hooks that RCA lacks. The RCA is a good, straightforward entry-level option, but the Ring Video Doorbell Pro adds more polish and functionality for the added expense—and the monthly subscription fee, as well.

Worth the expense.
If you already have doorbell wiring on your home, then the Ring Video Doorbell Pro is an excellent smart doorbell camera option. It's a feature-rich device that works very well in everyday usage, tracking movement and letting you jump into remote two-way conversations with anyone who presses the doorbell buzzer.

With the forever seesaw in petrol costs it is always good to find ways to save money on fuel consumption and ways to drive better. Here are a few tips to help -
A car consumes most gas as it accelerates. A moving car doesn't require much gasoline to keep moving. This means, in order to improve your mileage you need to keep the ride smooth.
About 30% of the drivers in somewhat heavy traffic apparently cannot control their speed with the accelerator pad alone. Instead those guys speed up and slam on the brakes all the time. Obviously, that makes the guy following too close behind very nervous and he too needs to brake and accelerate constantly. It is relatively easy to hold a speed in a long line of cars without stepping on the brake. Just keep a little bit more distance and try to practice this. You can easily get 10% - 20% better gas mileage.
If you own a hybrid powered car, the statement above applies even more to you. Try to avoid fast braking. Hybrid cars have the ability to convert braking power into electric energy and store them in their batteries. However this will only give you so much braking power. If you need to decelerate faster, your brakes will engage and energy will be lost.
So the next time you are approaching a traffic light, start braking a lot sooner and don't slam on the brakes the last minute.
This tip might be somewhat impractical in some areas.
Park your car in the shade if you can, so you won't have to keep the AC working as hard when you go somewhere.
Roll down the windows just a tiny bit, so the air can circulate through your car while you are parked (might not be a good idea in areas with a high theft rate).
Turn off the AC 5 minutes before you reach your destination and don't keep it working until the last second.
A manual transmission is truly fantastic. You need to feel the car and the load condition to figure out when you need to shift. A car that goes uphill needs to pull a lot more and should be driven at a higher RPM. On the other side, if you are gliding along an empty road, you can drive at extremely low RPM. Then if you want to accelerate (you need a bit more power), you quickly shift down, get up to speed and shift up again.
If you have a cruise control and there isn't a whole lot of traffic, you probably should use it (it will keep the speed constant and hence doesn't need to accelerate).
Use the overdrive gears, as this will generally keep your RPM down and your wallet happy. Shift into neutral when you are standing still to reduce transmission strain and cool off the transmission.
You can try to reduce the mass of your car by emptying out the boot and removing heavy items that you don't need (keep your spare tyre and car lift, but get rid of the gardening equipment).
When you turn on a car, it uses a bit of gas. When the car is idling, it uses a fixed amount of gas over a period of time.
In most scenarios (depending on the car), the energy balance will be positive if you turn off your car for more than 20 seconds. That means you can save gas if you turn off your car while waiting at long traffic light sequences, railroad crossings or while your better half pulls money from the ATM.
It's a proven fact that driving fast will increase the drag and thus increase your fuel consumption. However there is not that much difference between 50kph and 55kph in terms of fuel consumption.
Believe it or not, but opening your windows will increase the turbulences and eventually cost you fuel. If you can, use only the ventilation system of your car. It is hard to gauge this against using the air conditioner. It is thought that opening your windows at low speeds and using the air conditioner at high speeds gives you better fuel economy.
Avoid heavy traffic and lots of traffic lights. The shortest route is not always the most fuel efficient if you have to stop a lot. | <urn:uuid:2bfbea66-c81d-4758-87db-168ce67ee498> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.linku2.co.nz/money-saving-driving-tips.html | 2019-07-23T07:47:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529007.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723064353-20190723090353-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.956014 | 834 |
Carry on without me.
I have decided to stay nineteen.
I’ll send you postcards
to the future saying: wish you were here.
Just oil my skin with lemon verbena and douse me
in a mountain stream. Lather me in milkwort—
soap of the fairies—and suspend me
in an overnight cluster on the threshold of your dreams.
It is midsummer’s eve and I am a leannán sí—
a time warrior in constant solstice armed
with a purple quiver-full of knapweed
to joust every minute of creeping darkness.
Mischievous fairy mistress
I’ll take mortal lovers whenever I please
perhaps even choose to be a poet’s muse
and lounge naked in his sonnets sipping Chianti.
Some day when you’re stalled at traffic lights
on Lavitt’s Quay you will think you see me
in the rear view mirror roller skating
over Christy Ring Bridge
hear my Galway tones dance a slow set
down Shandon Street from the bells
of the red and white pepper pot
see my face in a winking swan on The Lough—
they mate for life you know.
You might even catch snatches of the bright
orange patches in my jeans whizzing downhill
on the crossbar of somebody else’s bicycle
my whole life giggling ahead of me.
(First published in 'Communion' by Walleah Press, Australia)

NV5 redesigned an existing unused outdoor garden space in Centereach, New York, as an outdoor nature classroom, or “Explorium,” to supplement ongoing youth activities and programs.
The Explorium includes water and messy materials areas, climbing and crawling, a quiet activities area, a shade structure, seating, and a small performance stage — all connected by a brick-paved garden path.
“The Explorium gets kids active and moving to interact with materials outside.” — Sandy Feinberg, Middle Country Public Library Director

Etsy crafted a successful debut as a public company.
Shares in the Dumbo, Brooklyn-based online crafts marketplace soared a whopping 88% in its first day of trading Thursday.
Etsy, which provides a platform for sellers of handmade and vintage goods, sold 16.7 million shares at $16 a share in the IPO, raising $267 million and pumping the company's value up to $1.8 billion.
The stock price rose $14 and closed at $30, nearly doubling Etsy's value to $3.5 billion.
Investors plowed into the stock even though Etsy is not profitable.
The company's revenues surged 56.4% to $195.6 million in 2014. But Etsy reported a loss of $15.2 million, up from $796,000 in 2013, according to its prospectus.
"People like that it has high user retention, it's growing quickly and it's the clear leader in its market," Greg Leffert, an analyst at IPO ETF manager Renaissance Capital, told the Daily News.
Etsy, which has 29 million items listed on its site and 1.4 million active sellers, hawks everything from human-looking baby dolls to fabric flowers. The company charges its sellers a 3.5% transaction fee.
Etsy is also a Certified B Corporation, meaning it puts its social and environmental values on par with its business goals.
To celebrate its IPO, the homegrown tech company set up a pop-up "Etsy Market" on Thursday in Times Square, outside of the Nasdaq building.
Sellers included multiple manufacturers from Brooklyn, including Alexandra Ferguson, who makes whimsical pillows made out of eco-friendly materials.
During the Nasdaq opening bell ceremony, Etsy CEO Chad Dickerson and the company's CFO Kristina Salen rang handmade and vintage bells purchased from Etsy shops.
Looking ahead, one question will be whether Etsy can continue to meet its social goals and, at the same time, please Wall Street. The company angered some users when it loosened restrictions on the use of outside manufacturers. | <urn:uuid:ea1d8ada-f400-4c5a-b6ae-97d8c9c48d99> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/stock-online-marketplace-etsy-surges-trading-debut-article-1.2187630 | 2019-07-23T07:26:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529007.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723064353-20190723090353-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.948309 | 429 |

Daily Dose is your daily source for the song you absolutely, positively need to hear every day. Curated by the Paste Music Team.
Jeremy Gustin may be a familiar presence to some of our readers, as his fine drumming has be utilized in concert and on record by, among others, David Byrne, Albert Hammond Jr., Delicate Steve and Rubblebucket. But at long last, the talented artist is setting out on his own with a new project called The Ah.
The first release under this name, Common Bliss (out on November 17th via NNA Tapes), is a largely electronic affair, with Gustin having his way with samples of field recordings and other recordings, touching them up with his own synth and drum machine textures. As you’ll hear on this track “High Low,” it slots in nicely with the ‘70s sci-fi sound associated with Ghost Box Records and some of the more low-key compositions by the Art of Noise. Gustin has also matched up the song with a fantastic video that looks like a chunk of Bill Morrison’s Decasia with its stitched together found footage and devilishly simple animation. | <urn:uuid:0ed039a0-42c1-4515-a81f-a413aef94465> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/10/daily-dose-the-ah-high-low-89593.html | 2019-07-23T08:20:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529007.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723064353-20190723090353-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.971658 | 242 |

Wisconsin Celebrates 25 Years of Masters in the Making / Source: Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin
MADISON, Wis. — If you ask anyone to identify what makes Wisconsin special, they are likely to say cheese. Wisconsin cheesemakers have the same sense of pride and passion for what they do as some of the world’s best authors, athletes and architects – which inspires them to do things they’d otherwise only dream of doing – like write best-selling novels, compete in the Olympics and build the world’s tallest skyscrapers. Because when you are truly passionate about something, you will dedicate your entire life to it.
So that’s why in Wisconsin, the cheesemakers are determined to become masters.
This year marks an exciting milestone with the 25th anniversary of the Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker® program – the nation’s most advanced education program in the art and science of cheesemaking. Its rigorous standards are a key factor driving Wisconsin’s dairy innovation and leadership forward, despite an increasingly competitive national and global marketplace. | <urn:uuid:0c39047c-6687-467a-805c-207c7f9da5d3> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.pinnaclefoodsales.com/wisconsin-celebrates-25-years-of-masters-in-the-making-source-dairy-farmers-of-wisconsin/ | 2019-07-23T06:44:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529007.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723064353-20190723090353-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.902041 | 219 |

when she allows
when she allows Him to starve the whispers inside that have held her numb,
when her parched soul is finally soaked in the waves of love.
when her fears have been drowned and her worries have sufficated
her eyes will become galaxies
her spirit a cosmos of stars.
her heart glowing with life and threaded with dreams
each day when she rises, passion will surge through her veins
no longer will she be tamed by amnesia
no longer will she be consumed in lies
for when she has been awakened
each breath will be wrapped in purpose
each moment traced in joy
how i wish i could let her know that
she is a daughter of the King
and i pray that soon she will come to know how much His heart aches
to heal hers.
for He is fighting for her, pursuing her wholeheartedly
if only she would stop running and crumble into His outstreatched arms | <urn:uuid:d4b683e6-18c3-49b6-8d39-b90562c3fdd9> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.swirlmag.com/blog/when-she-allows-poem | 2019-07-23T07:57:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529007.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723064353-20190723090353-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.960587 | 194 |

Herman Maril knew from an early age that he wanted to be a painter. He was born in 1908 in Baltimore, Maryland. He completed two degrees, one from Baltimore Polytechnic Institute and one from Maryland Institute of Art, in order to satisfy his father. During the Depression he took part in the WPA program, where he painted a mural for the U.S. Post Office in Alta Vista, Virginia. Like many of the other artists enrolled in the WPA, Maril adopted Social Realism. However, in his characteristic manner, he still simplified and refined his subject matter. He taught painting at the University of Maryland for forty years, until his death in 1986.
In 1934, Maril moved to Cape Cod, which greatly influenced his painting. He primarily painted the weather and elemental landscapes. Figures and objects were simplified to the least number of lines and colors. With this characteristic, he showed the influence of two diverse painters, Piero della Francesca and Mark Rothko, both artists whose work he admired. While ostensibly he was still painting from nature, the simplicity of his forms, and the abstract way in which these forms were organized, make Maril's work feel fairly abstract. Part of the abstraction may be due to his method of working. While working on the Bureau of Reclamation commission, he made only occasional sketches in heavy felt pen. For the most part, he was content to look and ask questions, storing up impressions to work on in the studio. While the compositions are abstract, they are by no means uncomposed. Maril took great pains to ensure that all of his paintings were in equilibrium, and that all of the pieces "locked" together; no one object could be taken away.
Maril's paintings and drawings for the Bureau of Reclamation show this tendency to reduction and composition. His ink drawings use the minimum number of lines to define a contour or figure. A sense of space is conveyed with the least information. It is not always easy to identify an individual mark as descriptive of a particular feature, but somehow the marks together describe a scene. The paintings are similar to the drawings in terms of simplicity, but instead of lines, Maril uses color fields. Depth is indicated through atmospheric perspective and layering. In Blanco Diversion Dam, the intense brown and red on the right middle mountain makes it feel closer to the viewer than the mountains above it, which appear to be further back in the distance because they are painted in cooler colors which are also less intense. The blue patches tie the painting together, as well as drawing the eye through the composition. In his drawings, long lines serve the same purpose. | <urn:uuid:e6e57a18-1345-4b34-b4f2-a452c1aed6c8> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.usbr.gov/museumproperty/art/biomaril.html | 2019-07-23T08:00:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529007.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723064353-20190723090353-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.980042 | 542 |

Flexible circuit shipments in March 2008 were up 9.7% and bookings were down 29.5% compared to March 2007. Year to date, flexible circuit shipments were down 0.2% and bookings were down 17.2%. Compared to the previous month, flexible circuit shipments were up 26.0% and flex bookings rose 30.0%. The North American flexible circuit book-to-bill ratio increased to 0.99.
For rigid PCBs and flexible circuits combined, industry shipments in March 2008 increased 9.5% from March 2007, and orders booked increased 11.2% from March 2007. Year to date, combined industry shipments are up 4.6% and bookings are up 12.5%. Compared to the previous month, combined industry shipments for March 2008 are up 21.0% and bookings are up 13.0%. The combined (rigid and flex) industry book-to-bill ratio in March 2008 moved up to 1.00.
"The book-to-bill ratio has returned to parity, and March sales of PCBs in North America were up nearly 10% over last year," said IPC president Denny McGuirk. "Despite the current economic worries, these numbers look very encouraging." | <urn:uuid:a42e4d43-8d35-48f6-bc15-6c232fdee5c5> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.vision-systems.com/factory/manufacturing/article/16745507/booktobill-ratio-returns-to-parity-in-march | 2019-07-23T07:59:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529007.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723064353-20190723090353-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.978293 | 470 |
TOPEKA (KSNT) – It’s a question many are split on: What makes the perfect Christmas tree?
When it comes to picking between a live tree or artificial, both options have pluses and minuses.
If it’s a matter of selection you’re after, the stores can be somewhat limited.
There is something else to consider when buying a tree. An artificial tree just doesn’t come with that same smell, not to mention the extra cost up front.
The convenience is key for many shoppers, though.
“It’s much easier for us,” said Sharon Flint.
“You have a tree that’s ready to go. The lights are built in, you’re not going to have to worry about stringing them on there and you’re going to have it from year-to-year,” said Wendy Webber, General Manager of a Westlake Ace Hardware store in Topeka.
The convenience is nice, but many don’t want to miss out on the fun family experience of picking a tree every year.
“We do it every year,” said Governor Sam Brownback, “and, you know, usually we have to push the kids, particularly when they’re teenagers. ‘Come on, we can do it.’ They don’t want to do it, they get angry, but at the end of it, they’re happy they did it. So it’s a fun activity.” | <urn:uuid:a11d621f-1ef9-4851-86fb-918e970ac864> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.wishtv.com/news/national/how-to-pick-the-perfect-christmas-tree/ | 2019-07-23T07:27:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529007.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723064353-20190723090353-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.951456 | 329 |

Does anyone notice that most of the pictures of Lagos in this section are of buildings,hardly any pictures of what life is like on the ground for every Lagosian. The first time I saw how beautiful Nairobi was was when I was viewing some satellite pictures on google earth. We really have a lot to learn from the Kenyans (and Ghanaians) on maintaining infrastructure. It made my heart leap for joy to see such a beautiful African city. Then I read it used to be under British rule, and a lot of whites still live there as the pictures show.
But, It also melted my heart to see a land where are skyscrapers of buildings, black owned and or operated corporations. As anyone in the US can tell you, blacks might be present in the media and advertising, but we are very much still the minority.

Ommadon are a band from the United Kingdom that plays a very dark, heavy and instrumental mixture of drone and doom metal and this is a review of their 2015 album "Empathy For The Wicked" which will be released in July by Golden Mantra.
Harsh noises sounds start off the album along with some elements of ambient in the background which evolve into heavy drones once the amp and reverb starts to kick which also takes the music into a very slow, dark and heavy doom/sludge metal direction and the music also avoids using any vocals or songwriting.
Both of the tracks are very long and epic in length and also play the same riff for long periods of time with the riffs only changing slightly on the second side of the recording and the song on the second side starts out very calm before adding into ambient drones while the heavy riffing does make a return halfway through the second track and the whole album sticks to a slow musical direction from beginning to ending of the recording.
Ommadon plays a musical style that takes the slowest and darkest elements of doom, sludge and drone and mixes them together with a touch of ambient and noise as will as using no vocals to create a style of their own and the production sounds very dark and heavy.
In my opinion Ommadon are a very great sounding instrumental drone/doom metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. 8 out of 10. | <urn:uuid:ff7b4faf-2d99-4480-814e-a10195502030> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://hatredmeanswarzine.blogspot.com/2015/06/ommadonempathy-for-wickedgolden-mantra.html | 2019-07-16T00:11:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524290.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190715235156-20190716021156-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.955134 | 302 |

Iran, has huge piece of history like other countries. But the tourist spot and hot destinations are also gaining good attention. To dig about their famous spots and places, Khajoo Bridge or Khaju Bridge comes under the list. The Khaju Bridge is very famous bridge in Iran, due to its pleasing construction idea. It is one of the oldest bridge in Isfahan, Iran.
After 17th Century, travelers visiting Iran and tourist admiration has increased. Shah Abbas II, built new bridge on foundation of old bridge which was constructed in 1650 or so. The bridge serves as a link between Zoroastrian quarters and north banks, through the river Zayandeh River. The bridge is constructed with multi-purpose; the bridge is not only used for transportation but also as weir. The primary function of this bridge was abode for public meeting or as a tea-house.
A great bridge structure from an architectural view. Today, the Khaju Bridge is known for its Persian architecture. The Bridge was initially designed with artistic painting and tile-work. Inside the bridge, a pavilion sort existed, on which the ‘Shah Abbas’ would sit and admire the view. Today only miscellanies of the king chair and stone seat exist.
The Khaju Bridge is noted as one of the finest construction and instance of Persian architecture. The Bridge is 132-meters long. The bridge also acts as dam, hence has sluice gate.it provides irrigation water to surrounding areas, through series of water channels. The sluice gates help a lot to regulate the flow of water. On west side of bridge there are steps, in which water pours, the spot is more popularly used for social events.
The 132-meter long and 20-meter wide in size, the Khaju Bridge has interesting structure. Unlike other Bridge this Khaju Bridge has 23-arches, 26 and 21 smaller and large inlets. The bridge is made up of bricks and stones. The stones used in construction of this bridge is 2-meter long. It has 20-meter distance between ceiling base and each channels.This bridge is not constructed with support of cables or so, it is arch bridge. The structure is in semi-circular form. The bridge is said a goal that connect Hassan Abad and area of Khaju, with Takht’e Foolad, and a road to the ‘Shiraz’.
In 17th Century, the upper level of bridge was used for horse-carts and pedestrians. The Octagonal Pavilions, at centre is used for art Gallery and Teahouse.

As per the inscriptions, the bridge was repaired in year 1873. The Bridge is 350-years old, and still working. Instead of using their, proper trained archaeologist and their tools, authorities settled to use conventional method. This resulted into damage of few ancient Iranian sites. The project is still under improvement category. People hope that on improvement the history integrity is not damaged, the structural and historical essence of Khaju Bridge is maintained like before. | <urn:uuid:9bbf95cd-d7f3-4cf6-bd77-fa1b9111fb7b> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://iranianglory.com/khaju-bridge/ | 2019-07-16T00:48:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524290.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190715235156-20190716021156-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.967295 | 714 |
Last Sunday night 7 negroes made their escape from the neighborhood of Millersburg in this county. Three of them were men, three were women and one a child. They belonged to Wm. McMiller, Edmund Martin, Abram Moore and Mrs. Taylor. They hitched a pair of horses to a splendid family carriage recently purchased by Mr. McMiller, and, with a white man to drive them, rode off toward the Ohio river in style. They were seen passing through the North Fork toll gate about 3 o'clock on Monday morning. They left the carriage near Washington and made their way on foot to the river, just above east Maysville. Here they attempted to cross in a skiff, which upset and all but three three men were drowned.
They were discovered clinging to the skiff on Monday morning, and were rescued and lodged in safe keeping in Maysville.

You’ve probably heard about Heartbleed by now. This Gizmodo article does a nice job explaining what it is and why it’s problematic. How do you know which of the sites you’ve logged into are at risk? How do you know if that service has updated their software to fix the bug making it safe to change your password on that site? There are 496 sites for which I have a username and password. How am I supposed to know which ones are vulnerable. As a LastPass user, LastPass will tell me. [If you’re not yet a LastPass user, this previous blog post, although a bit dated now, will give you the overview of what LastPass does.]
Run the LastPass security check
Log into the LastPass website. On the far left, click “Security check.”
On the next page, click the big red “Start the Challenge” button. You will be asked to re-enter your LastPass password. You’ll see your security score and ranking which is based on things like how many weak passwords you have and how often you reuse a password. Scroll down and you will see this.
For the websites marked “Go update!” go change your passwords. Remember to use the LastPass random password generator to create strong, unique passwords. When you assign a new password to a website, be sure to tell LastPass that you are replacing an existing LastPass website so you avoid having duplicate LastPass entries: one with the old password and one with the new password.
I went into my account settings in Dropbox, clicked on the Security tab, and selected “Change password.” That generated this popup. I clicked the LastPass icon to automatically fill in my current password. Next, click lock/arrow-around-it icon to generate a new password.
LastPass will give you a new password based on the parameters you used the last time you generated a new password. You can change the length of the password, and if you click on advanced options, you can decide if you want special characters, numerals, etc. Once you’re happy with your password, you will get this popup. Click “Yes, Use for this Site.” The new password LastPass just created will replace the old password in your LastPass Dropbox entry.
Click “Change password” and Dropbox will make the change.
Now, go do it for all of the sites LastPass says you should update. | <urn:uuid:fa6d8cc5-b60d-4fef-885a-1e1d3fab7b0e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://suefrantz.com/2014/04/12/heartbleed-lastpass-can-help/ | 2019-07-16T00:35:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524290.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190715235156-20190716021156-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.904536 | 524 |
Best Vacuums For Pet Hair in 2019 – Buying Guide
If you are also a pet owner, just like me, you will probably agree when I claim that cleaning pet hair requires much effort and is a rather complicated task. A usual vacuum cleaner will hardly clean it up, since its suction isn’t too powerful. Basically, striving to ensure a clean home, the best vacuum cleaner for pet hair will be required. They are exclusively designed for the purpose and are considerably more effective than standard hoovers.
The issue to talk about today though is the fact that an overwhelming amount of different products available on the market are supposed to do the job perfectly but, in fact, there are only multiple items that really do it well.
Taking this fact into account, we have decided to make a list of the top options currently available on the market. We consider a whole number of aspects, from various features up to the cost. The list contains both cheap and expensive models. However, our initial goal is to single out the leading vacuum cleaner in terms of providing impressive value for money and simplicity in use. Not to make you wait anymore, let’s get started with the list.
Upright: Miele Dynamic U1 Cat and Dog
No matter if you have a dog, a cat or both, probably, you will never find a more effective pet vacuum cleaner than the exclusive Miele U1. Besides, you won’t also find a more expensive option!
Believe it or not, but this unique vacuum cleaner will guarantee you complete fortune. Now that the price will not be justifiable to the majority of people, none of them will deny that the Miele U1 is the best hoover on the whole market.
It’s ultimately powerful and functions well on diverse types of surfaces, such as carpets, smooth floor surfaces and area rugs. It’s not just great for cleaning pet hair, but probably the top option you can purchase.
The SwivelNeck technology presents the best maneuverability, so that you can clean around low furnishings and chair legs without extra effort. The active charcoal exhaust cassette is combined with the Active AirClean filter to clean the output air up to 99.9%, that is an excellent result for pet owners.
The core advantage provided by the active charcoal cassette is an ability to remove odors from the exhaust. The cleaner does not produce that “dusty” smell noticeable from other hoovers, when the bag is full. We found this feature rather beneficial, since the air remains clean and odor-free.
Due to the brush roller that is spring-loaded, you can adjust the necessary height depending on the surface losing no suction. Another handy feature the vacuum cleaner is equipped with is the bright LED headlight that illuminates the room being cleaned. It is not the main advantage, though a nice adding to all the other peculiarities. The included mini Turbobrush serves an excellent helper in cleaning delicate upholstery and cut-pile carpets. Additionally, you can remove dog or cat hair from furnishings and clean stairs with ease with this tool.
Do not bore yourself with numerous specifications the hoover has since most people don’t even care about that. Besides, we realize that the item won’t be the leading choice, considering its price.
However, once you got tired of replacing hoovers each year or even half a year since they do not function properly anymore, the Miele U1 will be the best investment in a durable solution and probably the best hoover for pet hair.
Canister: The Dyson DC39 Animal
The DC39 Animal, like the majority of Dyson products, is going to be a rather costly option. However, it is the peculiarity of the Dyson brand name you know that combines the most reliable features, but preserves the corresponding price.
Purchasing the DC39 from an authorized reseller, you obtain a 5-year labor and parts warranty. This will hold the mind at ease, since the item will cost you a pretty penny. The Radial Root Cyclone technology patented by Dyson ensures easy cleaning without suction loss.
When we tested this model, we considered it worked well on various types of flooring, with the only exception being the carpet. Taking into account the cost of the option, we noticed it struggled on carpets. Nevertheless, it worked excellent on laminate, tile and other hardwood flooring. The suction is extremely powerful making it arguably the top hoover for hard floors at this price range.
The stylish design and compact size make it difficult to understand that such a machine can be so potent. With 5-year warranty and Dyson’s brand name, you are sure that the DC39 Animal is a top quality item. No doubts, it is expensive, but having multiple pets and being in search of a perfect hoover for hardwood floors, the DC39 is the most effective and powerful option you will ever find.
Nowadays, the upright Shark Navigator belongs to the group of the best-selling hoovers available on the market. The item is ultimately easy in use and extremely lightweight. In fact, thanks to the swivel steering technology used, you can easily maneuver around cleaning difficult zones.
An extra big canister with 0.55 gallon capacity is very convenient, since you don’t need to empty it every time. A hard floor attachment included is ideal for picking up all the debris you can see. In addition to this, a microfiber pad included helps to wipe away all the particles, even the tiniest ones.
Besides, powerful pet attachments allow lifting up any hair rather fast. The potent suction assists picking up the dirt you can notice, and remove the embedded dirt you find. Striving to clean diverse types of surface, an area rug, an extremely thick carpet or bare floor, the Shark Navigator is the best solution.
The superior HEPA filtration together with sealed vacuum technology helps capture and keep more than 99.9% of allergens and dust inside it. All these features and functions make the Navigator the top quality item to purchase not only for pet owners, but for general cleaning, too.
Upon testing, we managed to find the Navigator work quickly and remove pet hair effectively from different surface types. Considering its cost, the Shark Navigator is definitely a bargain and had no hesitation in recommending the item to you. It’s definitely not as good as the Miele U1, but it’s 3 times cheaper. We think that the differences are not crucial, so spending three times more is not a variant. Thus, if you want to save money and get a powerful hoover, opt for the Shark Navigator.
Upright: Hoover WindTunnel UH30310
This T-Series upright hoover is perfect for cleaning any pet hair. The Windtunnel Technology engaged in the item helps you remove the embedded dirt and eliminate the irritating blowback of dirt on rugs and carpets probably everyone has experienced at a certain point.
Over 99.9% of 0.3 micron pollens and all the dust will be easily trapped due to the carbon HEPA filter. All pet odors are decreased by carbon as well. Besides, we really enjoy the ease of use the hoover provides. The system of one touch release allows you to quickly and easily access the bag. The system of clean-drop releases the whole bag straightly into the trash if you push only a single button.
A one-touch system helps with simple transition between hard floors and carpet. All these features lead to a rather efficient and easy vacuum for cleaning the house.
The 12-foot stretch hose adds an incredible ease of cleaning zones of extended reach, while the pet upholstery tool included is perfect to use. The rubber wipers it has provide an easy pull of stubborn dog or cat hair from the upholstery.
To cut a long story short, the Hoover Windtunnel UH30310 impressed us greatly. It did the job incredible and was easy to use. Perhaps the top aspect of the item is its cost, which is rather low, if compared to similar products. The hoover is a bit noisy, but it is probably a single negative peculiarity about it. After extensive tests we felt that the vacuum picks up just everything and is smooth to run.
An included 2-year warranty will help you stay at ease, while the Hoover will deliver high-quality cleaning. You may be sure you’re opting for the leading products if you purchase this upright vacuum cleaner.
Best Pet Vacuums Under $100 (2019 List)
Upright: BISSELL CleanView 9595A
Striving to buy a top-quality hoover for $100, the BISSELL CleanView 9595A is probably the best option. It may be cheap, but this vacuum matches up quite well against its more expensive counterparts.
Being lightweight, it features ultimately powerful suction, multi-level filtration, and revolutionary brush design. The “OnePass” technology of BISSELL ensures more thorough and efficient cleaning.
The thing we enjoy about the 9595A is its ability to keep powerful suction over a long time, so there is no problem cleaning the whole house. The TurboBrush Tool included in the hoover functions well and is ideal for cleaning the furniture, upholstery, and stairs.
However, the most vital thing is the fact that the 9595A is perfect when you need to clean pet hair. When comparing this model with the expensive Oreck vacuum, we were shocked by the results. The Oreck failed to pick up pet hair while the BISSELL 9595A worked great.
It’s rather simple in use and easy to clean. The only thing required is emptying the dirt tank and washing the sponge filter.
Considering low cost, but impressive features, the BISSELL CleanView 9595A serves a top quality vacuum cleaner that provides ideal value for money.
To conclude, let me say that all the options mentioned in the list are perfect if you wish to keep your house clean and free from hair left by your dog or cat.
The Miele U1 Cat & Dog is the best pet hair hoover sold at a hilarious price. Once you have the money but want the best option, you will not probably find a better variant.
The Dyson DC39 serves a fabulous hoover with a similar price tag. Opting for the DC39, you may be sure you get a top quality item from a rather reputable brand.
Another quality and the solid product is the Shark Navigator that works well removing pet hair. Pet attachments are quite good while the suction is extremely powerful. Overall, looking at its reasonable price tag, the Hoover serves an excellent option preferred by the majority of customers.
The reliable BISSELL CleanView 9595A serves an ultimate option if you are in search of a high-quality vacuum at a moderate price. If you wish to save money while getting the best hoover, don’t hesitate to select the BISSELL CleanView 9595A.
Types Of Vacuum Cleaners
Before we are sure you get the leading vacuum to deal with hair, there are several types of vacuum you need to be aware of. Selecting the type is the primary and most responsible task during the whole process, as every single item is uniquely suited for various circumstances.
The best options for handling the floor are upright vacuums. The offer is exceptionally suitable for owners of fluffy dogs since they know how things tend to accumulate and get out of hand. The items are not exceptionally useful when it comes to furniture and rather useless when you need to get up high, considering the design.
Definitely, these are your first thoughts when you hear about a vacuum cleaner. It may be a surprise, but there are several items created specifically for handling pet hair. In case the floor is the key problem, upright vacuum cleaners are the best solutions.
Searching for higher powered vacuums, you need to pay due attention to canister vacuums. They are characterized by a stationary base with the handle resembling the one of the upright vacuum. Consequently, the items are perfect for both the floor and getting up high, if necessary.
The extra power is useful for thick hair removal and innovative design will help you take care of the furniture pretty well. Besides, they tend to be a bit more complicated to use, as you will need to drag the canister all around. The cost of such an item will also impress you, as a quality and useful canister vacuum will cost a pretty penny, becoming a worthy investment only in case you have super heavy shedders. Canister vacuums are the best choice for houses with big amounts of pet hair.
This innovation will help you deal with the balls of pet’s fluff with minimal hassle. However, you need to be exceptionally picky, as the ads of multiple better brands are hitting the market, even though the offers are not worth the cost.
Handheld vacuums are optimal for taking care of furniture, as well as high places, as they are lightweight and powerful with different attachments. On the other hand, the small surface for suction power makes them unsuitable for cleaning floors. In case your pet is making complete mess on the floor and you can clean it all with a usual vac, investing in a handheld item is the choice you should make.
How to Select Your Vacuum Cleaner 2019 Guide
It is not some super specialized facts, but following some recommendations and keeping some specifications in mind while looking for various offers will not hurt a bit, but can assist in making the right decision about the best vacuum suiting your needs and being able to deal with the horrible hairy mess from your pet.
- Type of your floor: even in case you plan on getting an upright vacuum to handle the mess on the floor, mind that some items will deal with different types of floor in various ways. This is exceptionally important in case your pet has free reign on the house, as the hall and kitchen usually have diverse floor types.
- HEPA filters: in case you are allergic, or any of your visitors suffers from airborne dander, HEPA filters are the things you need to keep an eye out for. These items will help to decrease, maybe not completely, the amount of allergens around the house, as they pick up little particles.
- Cordless or corded: it is a well-known fact that corded vacuums are a bit more powerful, while handheld are frequently more cumbersome to use. If you are in search of something for light duty on your couches, consider a battery operated model.
- Attachments: view the attachments carefully, as some of them are window dressing, while others are completely essential for the management of a proper amount of pet hair.
- Budget: pet hair vacuums are constantly growing in cost, but the danger of your furniture damage is growing correspondingly. Once you are running quite tight, you will surely want to take maximal care of how much you spend, but in case you have extra money, it is better to view higher-end models that are usually worth the cost.
Issues to Consider While Deciding on the Vacuum to Purchase
With such a variety of vacuum cleaners and their brands available on the market, choosing the right product can be confusing. However, there are multiple factors you need to evaluate before you settle on the right cleaner, including:
- Upright, Canister or Combined Vacuums – Which Is Better? Canister and upright are the two words that will appear immediately when you start shopping for a vacuum. So, what are the most important differences between these types? Canister vacuum cleaners (the ones with a wheeled body and a long hose, pulled behind the user) will offer higher maneuverability and flexibility. A separate hose allows the user to reach the most distant places under tables and couches. One of the most significant drawbacks is having almost no control over the canister – imagine it is bumping into walls and furniture while you are pulling it behind.
Proponents of upright cleaners (the ones with the suction head and a canister included in one device), specify the compactness of the design and its easy storage. A bit more expensive models, including Groom+Style’s Dyson, come with a special telescoping hose which allows you both to go up the stairs and reach under the tables. As for the cleaning action, the performance is close to equal and depends mainly on the model you prefer. The choice at this point will also depend mainly on your personal preferences.
- Bagless or Bag Cleaners
This question is another confusing point when it comes to selecting a vacuum cleaner. The items “with a bag” will help you collect dirt and dust, but you will need to purchase an extra package of bags since they usually have a limited lifespan and need to be replaced often. Besides, bagged vacuums feature a cheaper upfront price, but higher ongoing cost. On the contrary, bagless cleaners will prevent you from the inconvenience of purchasing bags for the cleaner. It is better to empty the bagless vacuum since you do not need to interact with dirty bags. At the same time, retrieving your accidentally vacuumed earrings becomes completely easy.
Consider the Areas You Will Use the Vacuum for
It is surely easier to clean short-haired loose fur of your pet from hardwood floor, especially if compared to sucking out what resembles “half a cat” from the deep folds of the couch or carpeted cat tree. Therefore, it is inevitable to consider the place you are planning to vacuum before purchasing the machine. The cleaner with perfect suction and a cost tag could serve overkill for the routine tasks.
Once Fido or Fluffy sheds (sheds and sheds, routinely) everywhere and anywhere, make sure the pet hair cleaner you have selected performs equally well on carpets, floors, cars and upholstery. It should also feature strong suction and come with proper tools for deep fabrics cleaning and an ability to get into crevices and cracks.
Otherwise, you can do the duties with a regular vacuum cleaner. You should also consider the area you will be cleaning, paying exceptional attention to its size. Portable models may not feature sufficient battery power to complete household tasks without pausing for a recharge. | <urn:uuid:407f44e1-6cdb-48a8-881e-6a98ddb1d4c2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://sweethomeguide.net/best-vacuum-pet-hair/ | 2019-07-16T00:53:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524290.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190715235156-20190716021156-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.945491 | 3,855 |

Nicholas, The Lords of Satyr
by Elizabeth Amber
In the heart of Tuscany’s centuries-old wine country, three half-Satyr brothers receive a letter that sends them in search of three endangered half-Faerie brides. The daughters of a dying king, they present a unique opportunity for the wealthy, charismatic Lords of Satyr to beget heirs to inherit their Italian vineyard and ancient secrets.
For not just any woman will do as a Satyr wife. Each month at Moonful, the brothers change physically, becoming more powerfully potent. They’re driven by the darker side of their natures to indulge in a nightlong ritual in a sacred gathering place ringed with statues of Bacchus, nymphs, dryads, and fauns.
Eldest brother Nick considers it his duty to sire heirs. But he prefers to keep his conjugal visits to Jane, his new FaerieBlend wife, proper while engaging in more carnal activities with experienced courtesans.
Unaware that she’s half-Faerie, Jane is desperate to rid herself of the terrible abilities she acquired when she turned thirteen. Only then will she bear Nick’s children and find a true home with him. Until then, she must deceive him.
As the grapevines begin to bloom, an ancient cult hatches plans that could destroy Nick and Jane’s blossoming happiness.
When I accepted this book for review, I wasn’t really sure how it would turn out, but I was definitely intrigued by the plot premise. To my delight, Nicholas, The Lords of Satyr was an incredibly gripping novel that left me wanting more. How fortunate for me that I had the second book waiting when I finished!
In Nicholas we are introduced to the three Satyr brothers, keepers of the doorway between two worlds: Earthworld and Elseworld. Being part Human and part Satyr, they are not your ordinary men, they are so much more. Each month at Moonful, or the full moon, they become more Satyr than human and have an overwhelming need to mate. When they receive a letter from the King of Elseworld sending them on a “quest” to find the dying king’s half-human daughters and protect them, but only marriage will give them full protection from the factions warring for the kingdom, the brothers aren’t so sure they want to undertake this quest. But who are they to deny a king’s demand?
Nicholas is the first to set out to find his bride. Leaving his brothers to care for the vineyard and winery, he heads to Rome. In almost no time at all he finds his bride, Jane, and acquires her hand in marriage. Life isn’t always as simple as one would like it to be, though, and Nicholas finds that marriage to a woman who has no idea of her heritage is much more difficult than he would like. Jane, on the other hand has a rude awakening in the discovery that her husband does not plan to share all of himself with her. What follows is an in-depth tale that explores love in a different time and place.
Jane was an interesting woman. She was so very strong, and yet incredibly naïve and troubled. She had a secret she was keeping from her husband while wanting him to open up to her. Unaware that her physical attributes that frightened and even repulsed her about herself were quite normal considering her bloodline, she spends quite a bit of the book trying to find a way to “cure” herself. Not knowing that if she talked with her husband about it, instead of living in fear of his reaction to them, she might have found relief and understanding. I admired her tenacity, even while I wished that she would really “see” the truth to the people around her and in her life, both the good and the bad. When she finally comes to that much awaited realization, I wanted to cheer and then give her a hug! She was finally on the road to a better, happier life.
Nicholas was quite the hero. He was arrogant and domineering, being your typical example of what titled and privileged men were like in his time period (heck in this day and age as well!). They honestly believed that you should not bring the more heated sexual acts to your wife’s bedroom… silly men! When his sweet, innocent wife makes a bet with him, he is convinced that a few of his more interesting sexual requests will be the end of that foolishness. Imagine his surprise when she blossoms under his tutelage and he finds he wants no other in his bed. Nicholas and his strength actually made me sweat on more than one occasion. He even made me smile when he finally let go of some of his rigid control and let his playfulness out even when it was quite obvious he felt such behavior wasn’t at all prudent. I really enjoyed seeing him come out of his stuffy shell and join his wife in their marriage.
I was intrigued by the realistic descriptions of a time when it was accepted, if not openly encouraged, that a husband kept mistresses for his more “carnal” needs he dared not bring to his wife’s bedchamber. I was excited and pleased with how Ms. Amber worked her characters around this belief to a more pleasurable relationship between a husband and a wife.
Nicholas is an incredible example of the skillful blending of mythical beings, danger, suspense, romance, erotic couplings, and societal mores of a different time period. All these aspects are brought together to make a stunning tale of love. Elizabeth Amber astounded me with her incredible imagery and fast-paced dialogue that never left one stalled-out in the middle of a conversation. As I said before, Nicholas, The Lords of Satyr is a gripping, intensely sensual love story that will leave you wanting more!

Have you heard of the Billy Graham rule? It states that men should never have a one-on-one meeting with a woman who isn’t his wife. This rule recently came into the public eye when the Washington Post reported that Vice President Mike Pence “never eats alone with a woman other than his wife and that he won’t attend events featuring alcohol without her by his side, either.”

When you find out there's an all-pink room in London called Sketch, you do everything in your power to go. I'm not even joking, I probably told every person I came across about it. And when Mike and I got there it definitely didn't disappoint. Just look at it - have you seen anything like it?! From the second we walked in I was giddy like a kid in a candy store. Every inch of the room was literally perfectly designed from the chevron floor… to the pale pink puffy velvet couches/chairs…the shimmery copper bar…pale pink walls with dim lighting…pale pink receipts, etc.
When we initially walked into Sketch, the hostess greeted us and said we can take a look at the various rooms and pick which we'd like to take our drinks in. We popped in the first room (Mike like this room) but it wasn't pink so was a no-go in my book. Then headed into another room...as we got closer I saw pink pouring out of the doors (jackpot!). Then beyond the pink room, there was another sketchy circular bar, with the wash room above it (all pictured below). Clearly we made our way back to the pink room and started speaking with the bartender to get some background on this sketchy place (no pun intended).
This pale pink room is called the Gallery because it changes every 2 years. Yes, you read that right, it will only be pale pink for another year and a half so get your tush there ASAP! They close the room for about one month during renovations and bring in an amazing artist to literally re-design everything. And by everything, I'm talking about the wait staff uniforms, bar, walls, art work, menu, floor, envelope you get the check in…literally everything (only the cocktail napkins stay the same..pictured). The brains and vision behind this pretty in pink room was by internationally celebrated artist David Shrigley.
Regardless of the pink room, If you're in London you need to stop in Sketch for afternoon tea, dinner or drinks (tip: you must make a reservation for tea or dinning). The various designed rooms and wash room is seriously something out of this world.

Come on over for Middle Eastern food for Sunday Supper y’all!
My boyfriend and I tried this recipe out before and it was amazing the first time. I must say it was even more amazing the second time. We have tried out middle eastern restaurants all around Los Angeles County from a spot in Pasadena, to another spot 30 miles away in Redondo Beach, to ANOTHER place 15 more miles away in Long Beach. While all these places had great tasting koobideh, who can afford driving all these places and eating out all the time when you can make it at home!
Some tips for this recipe:
- We doubled the recipe (as usual) but the meat wasn’t EXACTLY 6lbs since we used two packets of the organic ground beef from Costco. BTW, fun fact our friends mentioned that the organic ground beef (the one that comes is a 3 pack) is halal…just in case you needed bulk halal ground beef
- The spice and seasoning measurements stayed the same and after marinading overnight, the meat tasted ON…POINT.
- Steep/soak your saffron first because it will take a while so get everything else ready
- Add binder if you feel like your meat won’t stay together
- We didn’t have the metal sticks to put the meat on so we made the…”links” or pewps as we called them by hand and placed them on a foil lined baking sheet before grilling
The Fixins by ME!!!
The rice – So we made two different kinds of rice since our friend was watching his carb intake (Yaww how accomodating..IKNOWRIGHT)
- Saffron Rice – We added whatever extra saffron water you have left from the meat recipe to the rice, then fill the pot/rice cooker bowl thing with water, so you’ll have a light saffron colored/tasting rice.
- Garlic Smoked Paprika Cauliflower Rice – Some recipes say to grate the raw cauliflower first THEN cook it, but I didn’t want bits of cauliflower flying everywhere so I steamed the cauliflower first until pretty soft but not MUSHY then mashed/chopped it up. To get rid of some water and to add flavor, I stir fried the cauliflower rice with some minced garlic and about 1 tsp of smoked paprika for a head of cauliflower.
- Squash – buy a bag of the green and yellow squash from Costco. Clean them. Cut them in quarters lengthwise. Olive oil. Salt. Pepper. Grill.
- Blistered Tomatoes – Get some Roma tomatoes from Costco while you’re there. Clean them. Toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill until they blister.

Contrary to popular portrayals on television series, working for the rarely involves racing through downtown in a sports car, disengaging bombs, or flying away from a dramatic scene while standing on the skids and leaning out of a stealthy black helicopter. While a rare few experience anything as cinematic as these examples while working in the filed, the majority of the work performed at the CIA is mission driven and can involve: Security clearance. Focused research. Monitoring. Analysis. Technical writing. Reporting. Presentations. Policy and legal requirements. Intensive investigation. Technical development. Travel. Management. Administration. Individuals who choose to work for the CIA come from a variety of educational and professional backgrounds. However, a professional with a mechanical engineering degree who chooses to work with the CIA must learn to see the job as a mindset and a lifestyle rather than simply a mechanical engineering job.
Mechanical Engineering with the CIA
A person who has earned a mechanical engineering degree online or through some other means enters one of the broadest areas of engineering. Mechanical engineers work with a variety of mechanical devices, including everything from small engines to large cruise ships. With the CIA, the mechanical engineering degree holder troubleshoots programs and recommends new software and processes to make tasks more efficient. The mechanical engineer also assists in the transition between computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) engineering processes and actual production of machines. While working for the CIA, mechanical engineers engage in both domestic and foreign travel.
Requirements to Work as a Mechanical Engineer for the CIA
U.S. citizenship is required to hold a position with the CIA. A mechanical engineering BS degree online or through some other means is required to secure a mechanical engineering job. In addition to a mechanical engineering technology degree, three years of relevant work experience and a two-year technical certificate is required.
Some students are choosing to earn a mechanical engineering BS degree online through schools such as Warren National University. Programs, such as Kennedy- Western University‘s mechanical engineering degree online, focus on both thermal sciences and machine design, giving graduates exposure to the entire field of mechanical engineering before deciding on a specialty within the discipline. Earning a mechanical engineering degree online can be a convenient way to work towards requirements while maintaining work and family responsibilities.
The CIA Application process
According to the CIA career website, the application process for a mechanical engineering job can take anywhere from two months to one year. Every applicant must undergo a medical examination and a psychological test. An extensive background is performed on each applicant along with a polygraph test. Students interested in more information about a career with the CIA may visit the CIA career website. | <urn:uuid:11a2b2c2-d299-4cf4-98eb-31c07b141a5c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://college-pages.com/mechanical-engineering-technology-degree-discover-a-career-with-the-cia/ | 2019-07-16T00:16:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524290.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190715235156-20190716021156-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.955221 | 530 |

Frankie and Johnny
Words & Music:
Frankie and me we were lovers
Oh Lordy how we could love
Swore we'd be true to each other
Just as true as stars above
I was her man, she caught me doing her wrong.
My luck in poker was fading
When a new gal caught my eye
I gambled, I tried to change my luck
With a chick named Nellie Bly
I was Frankie's man but I was doing her wrong.
Yeah! Frankie came looking to find me
Yes, she wasn't looking for fun
For in her sweet loving hand
She was totin' a 44 gun
To shoot her man if he was doin' her wrong
Well Frankie walked into the bar room
And right there in front of her eyes
There was her loving Johnny
Making love to that Nellie Bly
I was her man, she caught me doing her wrong.
Frankie, I beg, Please don't shoot me
Well they'll put you away in a cell
You know they'll put your where the cold wind blows
From the hottest corner in hell
I'm your man, I know I done you wrong.
Easy on the roll, real easy
Easy on the roll, real slow
Roll me over real gently
'Cause my wound hurts me so
Well I was her man
Well I done her wrong
Well Frankie told Johnny
Well this is the end of my song
I was her man, well I done her wrong
Well , hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Done her wrong
, first released on
No one seems to want to comment so I'll add this, the 'b' was played by me a lot more than the A side.
That was 'Please don't stop lovin me' 4 star.
Song of the day twice in 3 days, is this a record, well it's not a good one...
What a joke, considering the music that was being released back then and actually selling, unlike this drivel. I never purchased this crap back then amongst other soundtracks by Presley which were to follow. Same movie crap, different title. So sad.
I can listen to the song now and again, but it's not one of my faves. Fits the movie well. Thank goodness a member of this forum had a mint copy of the soundtrack for sale several years back.
Singles from 66 through to 68 had their highs and lows and to be honest I don't think this was on a high.Dated in comparison to other artists releases and totally out of touch.
I bought it as I did all Elvis' releases on the day it came out and might have played it twice.The single suffered from poor airplay in the UK but still managed to get into the charts. though, as the fans always stuck by Elvis.
This is such a brilliant, underrated, overlooked, unique and fun song and I totally prefer Elvis' long movie version of it over the much shortened Elvis single version.
The beginning of the song is weird. Suddenly the sound gets more loud. That said, I really like this song. They should have used more traditionals on this soundtrack, although the Down by the waterside track is not that good.
Taken and listened to now, forgetting 1966, this is a pretty good performance that swings along with gusto. I always add echo to film songs around this period for certain soundtracks and they sound infinitely better
Classic! Elvis' and Sam Cooke's are the two best versions of this tune.
Not a classic in my opinion...the song makes you recall memories of poor Elvis being shot! This is a soundtrack I hardly ever pick up to play, I'm afraid.
I Kind of like it... and tha long movie version is very very good, it was a great surprise for me when i eard it for the first time.
I grew up in the New York area and I remember hearing Frankie And Johnny on the radio when it first came out for at least 2 or 3 weeks. I remember a friend in high school who wasn't really into music too much, commenting to me how much he liked Elvis version of this song after he heard it played on WMCA radio one morning before school. Don't forget that this was the era when you had things like Hello Dolly, Ballad of the Green Berets , Guantanamera, Winchester Cathedral, all good songs but not "hip" . Elvis version of F&J is really good and RCA took a chance on it as a single and it went top 25. The Ventures even covered it on thier "GO" album.
A beautiful classic song that was also recorded by other legends such as Louis Armstrong, Johnny Cash and Gene Vincent. Great idea to build a music movie around this song and Elvis of course gives a great perfomance on this classic. Too bad many fans will consider this as another movie title song instead of a classic. Four stars from me.
My mother grew up in the back woods and she remembered "Frankie and Johnny". If you knew the area my mother grew up in you'd think nothing made it to the back woods. Obviously, people back in the 60s that claim they never heard it were feigning ignorance because they were digging the drug culture and the the type of so-called music it produced. Elvis' reendition of "Frankie and Johnny" is one of the best versions I've heard alongside Sam Cooke's.
By this time (1966) Elvis movies and single releases were basically being dismissed by the teenagers and many others. Only the hardcore fans like me were buying every release. No one in my school even knew about this song! Almost everything on the charts sounded more hip than this including Frank & Dean! So if most folks on this site werent born at that time and only discovered it later, you have no idea of the scene in 1966. Reflecting on this all these years later, its not bad I guess, but the B sides is a better.
one of the better moviesongs from Elvis
For me this tune by Elvis has become one of those songs that is alot more than just a mediocre Elvis movie song. It transends its own barriers as i have been watching and hearing Elvis sing this since childhood and was one of the very first sixties movie performance I seen him perform. This is actually an excellent production number with classic 60's Elvis vocal style. i agree that the actual recording off the number could have been alot better in quality. The best part for me is the slower bluesy section only in the movie version and not in the released single or album versions. A great dramatic build up in the movie gives this song much more kick but on its on as a single I dont think it works. I would not have chosen this as an A side. Also its such a shame that the real blues song " Hard Luck" from the same move was not recorded and produced with care. Could have been a brilliant single if it had been taken seriously.
Not the strongest chart contender for this period, but the song was OK in the film.
A well sung song that served as the title tune to Elvis' 20th movie. The production could have been better, but Elvis sounds much more into this soundtrack than he had the previous one ("Harum Scarum") and the following one ("Paradise, Hawaiian Style). The song managed to hit #25 on the pop chart in the U.S. and top 10 on the Easy Listening chart (#3). Good movie, good song and an above average soundtrack LP. Equal to the "Roustabout" soundtrack LP.
As movie songs go, its just ok. As an Elvis song, it doesnt work for me. Once again bad production exists where the band sounds like its in another room from Elvis. A soundtrack I never listen to.
Not the strongest version of this classic, but for a movie song more than okay, although something lacks in his voice...

No, TMC MLA did not pick up a gun during the debate and it was just a mic.
A tweet attached with a video clipped shared by Twitter user @PiyushSinghk shows a TMC MLA gets angry and snatch something in his hand during a live television debate. Some said that it looks like a gun including Piyush who’s tweet and video has around 19k views.
He tweeted "TMC MLA pulls out Gun during live TV debate. This is happening in India and we are talking of intolerance. Unbelievable but not shocking ! #MamtaKeGunde".
You can watch the video tweeted by him here:
We analysed the video and found that the object carried by the MLA is just a mic. This can be confirmed from the screenshots of the video.
It can also be seen that the MLA who had expressed his temper is State Minister Rabindra Nath Gosh. The debate was live telecasted by Zee24Ghanta and it started getting heated following accusation of corruption when the BJP leader involved the TMC leader’s son in the debate. This highly triggered the TMC leader and he got quite aggressive by snatching the mic kept on the table and showed attacking motion towards the opposition.
The action of the TMC MLA is obviously seen to be inappropriate especially on television. However, spreading false claims that he pulled out a gun is not right. Furthermore, several users on Twitter and Facebook spread this video virally with similar claims. Though some of them pointed out that it was not a gun, most of them believed the false information and spread it.
The video is viral on Facebook as well. You can see all such posts here.
In conclusion, the TMC MLA did not pick up a gun during the debate and it was just a mic. It is also to be noted that the person who’s tweet initially went viral regarding this issue has still not taken his tweet down.
It is indeed saddening to see fake news spreading so virally on social media especially news which can be debunked as fake with simple methods. Anyone who shares such fake news without basic verification has to be condemned for the same. It is more shameful that people with good reach on social media sharing fake news to their many thousands of viewers.

Once again there were very few surprises with this week's announcement from the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee. After a two-day meeting, the Fed, as expected, left the target federal funds rate at 2.25% to 2.50%. The Fed said they will be taking a more patient approach to future rate hikes—Current forecasts indicate no rate hikes in 2019 and one rate hike in 2020.
Solid labour markets and slowing economic conditions
The Fed noted a strong labour market, solid job gains and low unemployment. The forecast for 2019 unemployment increased to 3.7% from 3.5% in December and to 3.8% from 3.6% for 2020.
Economic activity has also slowed. Projections for 2019 real GDP growth were reduced to 2.1% from 2.3% and 2020 real GDP growth to 1.9% from 2.0%. In addition, recent indicators point to slower growth of household spending and business fixed investment.
Overall inflation has declined due to lower energy prices on a 12-month basis. Core inflation expectations for 2019 and 2020 were not changed and remain at 2.0%.
Maximum employment and 2% inflation
The decision to keep rates unchanged supports the Fed's goal of maximum employment and price stability and they project that current conditions will meet the Committee's inflation target of 2%. As for future rate changes, the Fed will continue to assess various indicators such as labour market conditions, inflationary pressures, financial markets and international developments.
Following the announcement on Wednesday afternoon, we saw the S&P 500 rally before forfeiting most of those gains to close the day. Additionally, we saw both the U.S. dollar and 10-year U.S. treasury bond yields drop.
Wednesday's announcement will not change the way we manage MD funds and pools. We don't expect any significant impact outside the likely boost to equity markets.
For more information about the announcement and how it may affect your portfolio, please contact your MD Advisor.

The simple answer is YES. We spend on average 10 minutes every hour checking our social media, reading articles, and answering emails. Not only does this effect the positioning of the neck, but our head is tilted forward, our shoulders are rounded, and our eyes are strained! Overall our posture is poor and this causes extra pressure on our spine for lengthy periods of time. Over many months and years this will cause stiffness, chronic pain, and overload on your spine. Remember when you’re mom used to say “Sit up properly!” It’s now time to take that advice.
What can I do to take the pain away?
- Take a Break
Every 20 minutes, take 20 seconds to look 20 feet ahead! (Canadian Chiropractic Association, 2019)
- Aim for Eye Level
When you are planning to watch Netflix on your tablet or type on your phone for long periods of time, prop your device on a pillow or sit on the dining table with a pillow under your device. This way you are looking straight at it, not up or down!
- Stretch it out!
Slowly turn your head all the way to the right and hold for 15 seconds, now do the same to the left side. After this tilt your right ear to the right shoulder, and the same with the left side! Motion is lotion and the best way to keep going in the digital age!
Remember, chiropractors focus on muscular and skeletal problems, especially neck pain, low-back pain, shoulder pain and headaches. If you have questions about your neck pain and how to get rid of the discomfort, contact our office for more information!

This week John O’Neill, Komosion’s Executive Chairman and Chairman of Surfing NSW, is at the Vissla Sydney Surf Pro at Manly.
Competing surfers have paid their respects to the victims of the Christchurch terror attack and shown support for the people of New Zealand with an emotional paddle-out and message of ‘Kia Kaha’.
New Zealand surfers Billy Stairmand and Ella Williams led a group of more than 30 international and local surfers beyond the breaking waves where they formed a circle around floral wreaths. Speaking to the group in the water, Stairmand paid respect to the victims of the horrendous attack and expressed support for the families affected and the people of New Zealand, generating a teary response from many in the circle. “It’s so hard being far away at a time like this, but we are all thinking of everyone back home,” said Stairmand.
A moment’s silence followed as the surfers sat on their boards with heads bowed and people watched solemnly from the beach in light rain. At the end of the silence, the circle of boardriders splashed the water and threw flowers into the air. | <urn:uuid:41137a4b-84b7-4250-9c84-82f792cc04b0> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://komosion.com/kia-kaha-new-zealand/ | 2019-07-15T23:55:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524290.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190715235156-20190716021156-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.945584 | 254 |

Please call for latest pricing information.
More About Bugzi
Bugzi helps young children like Danny achieve independence, the opportunity to learn and explore – and even the chance to make new friends.
Danny has Cerebral Palsy which means he is unable to walk. MERU provided Danny with his first powered mobility aid: Bugzi, a tiny indoor wheelchair which was the perfect vehicle for him – allowing control of his mobility and giving him invaluable freedom and independence.
Danny first tried Bugzi using a push-button system for left, right and forward controls. He mastered them very quickly and moved on to a Moozi joystick. Within half an hour he could manoeuvre wherever he wanted to go. The fine motor control required will help him when he learns other important skills like writing or using a keypad.
Offering young children like Danny the chance to be independently mobile from a young age means that once he is old enough for a larger powered wheelchair, he will already be familiar with the special awareness, safe control and hand-eye co-ordination required.
Allison Dick, Senior Paediatric Occupational Therapist at the Orchard House Child Development Centre agrees. “Not only is the experience of movement vital for children with limited motor skills but Bugzi also provides an alternative way by to develop their understanding of cause and effect, and the skills they need to operate switches.”
Bugzi encourages the development of physical co-ordination and motor skills – as well as better spatial awareness and personal risk management. Using Bugzi is also a great motivator and provides a platform for children to use these skills in developing their communication.
Ewan has Cerebral Palsy which affects both his communication and mobility skills. MERU provided Ewan with his first powered mobility device – Bugzi – the perfect vehicle to take control of his mobility whilst learning new skills that will support his communication development.
Ewan’s dad Ben says: “Without Bugzi, Ewan has limited ability to do what most children love – to explore! Using the switches allows him to be mobile independently but teaches him about active play. Pressing buttons and understanding the resulting actions is vital for his cognitive development. He loves Bugzi – Thank you MERU!”
Children like Ewan use switches, such as Moozi to communicate, learning to consciously move their hands, feet or head to press a switch to make a choice. Developing their switching skills at an early age with Bugzi can be hugely beneficial and open up opportunities for choice-making and improving communication.
Bugzi Families Facebook Group
There is also a private Facebook Group for families of children that use Bugzis to share experiences and advice.

…sometime in 1994
the office looks like a battlefield. Disassembled computers on every desk. The two specialists of the accrued network and system integration house talk about RAMs, storage capacity, DOS-based, Windows 3.11, Intel Pentium, Zip drive and QR code from ISDN, networking, analog modem, and transfer rates. As a fresh body coachbuilder and painter master and founders, I was overwhelmed with the hourly rates and the weekly visits of the system house administrators. Basically, it was very simple, the Internet was in full swing, the advent of digital communication in the craft industry had begun and I was allowed to be there! I started to deal with the matter in detail ...
Pentium II, Win95, Suse, Redhat, and Caldera is the first digital megapixel cameras and HTML editors. We were commissioned by a major paint manufacturer to set up an Internet presence for some accident repair shops in Berlin. The idea arose to build an Internet platform, especially for accident repair workshops. Through a representation as a company directory, the craft businesses should benefit collectively from the Internet. The individual workshops should also be able to present themselves with their homepage. We founded Marketing GbR.
The birth of the DVD and sound formats 5.1 Dolby Digital. The PC becomes a commodity for masses with Win98. We put our company directory online. The companies had to meet a high requirement profile in order to be registered. At that time, the financing functioned through the contributions of the listed companies, because this was the only way we could do it without advertising. By looking into the workshop, the user was able to convince himself of their efficiency and make direct contact. As users and interested parties, we recorded the various insurers, private and business customers on the platform.
You are now on a secured website, which is provided with an SSL certificate. Today, we continue to offer our users a carefully selected database of accident repair shops that, in our opinion, perform their work masterfully in terms of performance and customer orientation. Our service continues to be ad-free. We offer the craft businesses individual advice on the subject of marketing and corporate identity and as well interesting offers to join the domain unfallreparatur.de Apps, cloud computing, enterprise mobility, virtual reality, and 3D printing are the new digital technologies that will challenge the craft industry. So let's move on because we are only at the beginning of the digital revolution...

I was brought in with a client dealing in a high value, low conversion rate product. My role was to be involved as an eCommerce consultant in all areas to help both traffic and company growth.
This included being responsible for the whole of the website property, issuing a redesign, consulting on rebranding, finding product and market opportunities as well as taking over all PPC and SEO activity.
The store was beginning from quite a low position of traffic. Most traffic was coming through PPC activity combining with brand awareness to drive most of the sales.
The goal was to increase this traffic naturally, but focusing on building monthly revenues to a stable amount.
What I did
With average conversion path lengths being three months or more, it was vital to provide adequate on site content to build trust with potential customers, and authority and leadership on the topic as a whole to outperform competitors. By being “best in SERP” rankings have continued to climb with minimal backlinking activity.
The constant investment in SEO on-site technical changes and content marketing has resulted in the store now being the leading authority in the space, present in top 3 positions for all aspects of the purchase cycle. Comparing 6 months on, organic traffic has increased 1005%, and monthly transactions increase of 150% . While this may seem disproportional at first, the high AOV value and long purchase path means we expect to see the number and value of sales increase month on month, though conversion rate may actually be lower.
Focusing on low cost keywords and creating a more complete set of campaign types, especially the careful construction and optimisation of a Google Shopping campaign has allowed PPC to be a profitable driver of leads and customers. On-site metrics improved for all paid campaigns.
Monthly spend has remained similar but refinement has resulted in a 20% click increase, 53% increase in Impression Share and the campaigns now delivering sales. Over this time frame average CPCs remained extremely low thanks to keyword research and focusing on competing only in niche sectors rather than those with high competition - taking a bigger slice of a small pie, rather than vice versa.
Google Shopping remains an incredibly powerful tool, but one that must be used carefully!
On Site Metrics
The site redesigned helped massively, with average session time, bounce rate and pages per session all improving. The number of direct visitors has increased 325%. Managing a slight redesign and focusing on answering common questions on the product page has reduced support queries and driven time on site. Bounce rate decreased by 15%, and the average session duration increased 80%, with pages per session also increasing by 14%. Users are coming back more too, with 21% increase in sessions per use.
Revenues continue to climb each month, along with conversion rate as trust in the brand and website builds. The role of SEO has increased the “Consideration” and “Awareness” funnels considerably - it is now a case of waiting for this to filter through to “decision”, again due to long purchase paths.

Cuba Gooding, Jr. won an Oscar for his supporting role in Jerry Maguire with Tom Cruise. Cruise himself has been nominated three times, but has never won.
Cinematographer Robert Richardson was nominated for an ASC Cinematography Award.
A Few Good Men was nominated for a total of four Oscars in 1993, including Best Picture.
A Few Good Men won “Best Movie” at the 1993 MTV Movie Awards.
In 1992, when this movie was made, Tom Cruise was making around $13 million per film.
Tom Cruise is a natural athlete, having played football, volleyball, and softball in movies. In truth, when he was young, he wanted to be a professional wrestler.
Wolfgang Bodison (Lance Cpl. Harold Dawson) had never acted before this role. He was Director Rob Reiner’s former assistant and worked as a location scout on the film before being cast. Reiner says he just looked like a marine.
James Marshall (Pfc. Louden Downey) is best known for his role in the ’90s cult TV show Twin Peaks.
Kevin Bacon is no stranger to Code Reds: His first role was as a hazed pledge in Animal House.
Reiner says he related to Kaffee because of his own famous father. (Reiner’s father is writer-director-actor Carl Reiner.)
Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin wrote the original stage play on cocktail napkins while bartending in Broadway theaters.
Demi Moore was a part of the “Brat Pack” in the ’80s, attended high school with rock stars Anthony Keidis and Flea.
A Few Good Men is one of Noah Wyle’s first roles. He went on to star in ER as Dr. John Carter.
His A Few Good Men role is considered a turning point in Kevin Bacon’s career toward more dramatic supporting roles.
Keifer Sutherland has appeared in over 70 movies and made his Broadway debut in 2011.
Kiefer Sutherland’s unique first name is a tribute to Italian director Warren Kiefer.
Demi Moore wanted the role of Lt. Galloway so badly that she stood in line to audition while pregnant.
Aunt Jenny is played by Rob Reiner’s sister-in-law, Maud Winchester.
Commander Stone is played by Rob Reiner’s good friend, Christopher Guest. He also played Nigel in Reiner’s This Is Spinal Tap.
Marines wear their Dress Blue uniform for formal or ceremonial occasions. It has stayed virtually unchanged since the 1800s.
A Few Good Men cost $33 million to make and grossed over $236 million, making it a huge success.
Acidosis simply means that there’s too much acid in the blood
Guantanamo Bay was established as a naval base by Teddy Roosevelt in 1903. 100 years later, tensions still run high with the Cuban military.
“A few good men” is an actual Marine motto used in commercials and recruiting materials. It dates back to 1779 when Captain William Jones advertised for “a few good men” to enlist.
A fence line shooting would be a big deal, since Guantanamo Bay is located on Cuban soil.
D.C. was also the location of Sorkin and Reiner’s next project together, An American President.
Col. Jessup’s (Jack Nicholson) estate is actually the house of an Admiral of the Coast Guard in San Pedro, CA.
Most of Cuba is green and lush, but Guantanamo Bay is a rare dry exception.
The film rights for A Few Good Men were sold before the original play even premiered. Later, Sorkin would adapt The Social Network before the book had even been written.
“You can’t handle the truth” was voted by AFI as the 29th most iconic film quote of all time.
Kevin Pollak on Nicholson: “He is the party. No one had more fun.”
Cruise and Moore both started their film careers in 1981, but this is their first movie together.
A dishonorable discharge is considered the most shameful form of dismissal in the military.
Aaron Sorkin got the story idea from his sister, a JAG lawyer who investigated a similar incident. JAG lawyers are called Judge Advocates and represent the legal side of the armed forces.
Code Red is such a key phrase, every main character says it at least once.
“Sir” is said over 150 times in the film. That’s more than once a minute.
Sorkin says he knew he had a great story when he noticed one thing about the real-life case. The government went out of their way to assign junior council to the defense.
Director Rob Reiner says he always felt the “kung pow chicken” line should get a laugh. He says “It never does.”
Cruise says he was attracted to this challenging role because of the “tremendous writing.” He traveled to New York to catch the Broadway play before signing on.
In movie-speak, people always order a generic “beer.” Oddly, the waitress always knows what kind to bring.
Director Rob Reiner’s rules for a great courtroom drama: 1. A compelling court case. 2. Equally gripping protagonists and antagonists. 3. Great actors.
Kevin Pollak (Sam) calls this the greatest experience he’s ever had working on a film.
Director Rob Reiner praised Cruise’s comic timing throughout the film.
This is Moore’s first time playing a role in the military. Today, women comprise about 25% of the JAG Corps.
Kiefer Sutherland accidentally ran over several marines on set. In his defense, a Humvee is over a foot wider than the average car.
Most military courtrooms are featureless, so the movie was shot in a civilian courthouse to make it more cinematic.
Cruise insisted on learning all of his “legalese” dialogue so he could understand what Kaffee was arguing.
To help the other actors, Nicholson recited his famous speech 40 to 50 times. According to Reiner, each time was just as intense as the one on screen.
Cruise’s Nicholson impersonation wasn’t scripted or planned. Reiner says that most of the cast and crew were “running around doing Jack Nicholson impersonations.”
Reiner says Cruise would always stay after rehearsals to work on perfecting his role.
To get to the truth of his character, James Marshall played Downey with “youthful ignorance.” Reiner on Marshall: “He has a James Dean naturalism to his work.”
Over 17.4 miles of fence line separates U.S. occupied Guantanamo Bay from the rest of Cuba.
Enlisted Marines are rated on a scale of 0-5. A rating of 4.6 means “excellent.”
An actual Marine Corps. code is “Honor, Courage, Commitment.”
Director Rob Reiner says landing Jack Nicholson was like having Babe Ruth on his team.
Enlisted marines aren’t required to salute if an officer is in civilian clothes.
A Broadway producer is considering bringing the play back to the stage in New York. James Franco and Justin Timberlake have been considered for the role of Kaffee.
Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) says he’s watched A Few Good Men too many times to ever be a lawyer.
According to psychologists, hazing builds solidarity amongst a group of people. The Marines maintain that they do not condone hazing, though.
Definition of “galactically stupid” according to the Urban Dictionary: When something obvious isn’t recognized by someone who sees that thing on a regular basis.

After being talked about for almost over a decade, the Agency Workers Regulations finally took effect in September 2011. Heralded as the biggest change to agency workers for almost 30 years, its time to reflect on how much the recruitment industry has been affected by “AWR” twelve months on.
“Major overhaul” or “minor tweak” in the recruitment process?
Despite the scare stories of clients culling their temporary workforce in order to avoid having to provide comparable pay and benefits to their permanent staff, several studies have shown that temporary labour has remained unchanged or increased in most sectors. I consider that this clearly demonstrates that the temporary labour market is invaluable to the UK economy.
Given that clients don’t seem to have been put off using ‘temps’ by the Agency Workers Regulations, I feel that the adjustments required to ensure compliance with the Regulations have simply been absorbed by the recruitment agencies, and umbrella companies by tweaking their recruitment processes.
Matched pay 1 – 0 Swedish derogation
What has also become clear is that full compliance with the Regulations is as cost effective in most sectors as relying on permitted avoidance mechanisms such as the permanent contract of employment (also known as a “Regulation 10 contract” or “Swedish derogation”).
In my view, the Trade Unions successfully created enough bad press around the Swedish Derogation model to shame clients considering this route into full compliance. In doing so, the Trade Unions have significantly reduced the number of clients who want to pay temporary workers less than permanent staff simply by reason of their temporary status.
A day in court?
There has been precious little publicity about any claims actually getting to an Employment Tribunal hearing and certainly none have reached a stage of being recorded and publicised on the Internet.
Could this be because the very people who are tasked with policing this legislation are the very people who need to earn a living from being engaged as a temporary worker? Most people don’t “bite the hand that feeds”, nor do they wish to become black listed (officially or not) by recruiters – the very people who will help them to pay the mortgage.
Why the lack of claims?
The lack of tribunal hearings suggests one of two things. Either:
1) The value of the claim is sufficiently low that businesses are choosing to settle claims early to avoid bad press and save management time in defending claims; or
2) Workers are reluctant to bring claims through fear of not being able to secure future work.
I don’t consider that there are underhand tactics being employed by recruiters and hirers. The timing of the regulations being introduced has meant that savvy workers realise in a recession that recruitment agencies provide a useful function. Remaining in employment, regardless of the pay, is more important than having an extra (say) £2 per hour in their pocket. There is also the carrot of permanent employment if they don’t rock the boat!
It is also easy to substantiate discrimination under these Regulations. Either a worker is paid less or not, or a worker has access to the same facilities and benefits as permanent staff or not. Defending a clear cut case such as this seems non-sensical which may be further reasoning for the lack of claims.
Clearly too many reasons exist for claims not to progress to a Tribunal hearing at this time.
Too much, too soon.
The first twelve months of any new legislation can give a clear indication of its future success. The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and Age Discrimination Act 2006 both saw cases going through the tribunals within the first twelve months of coming into force. The Agency Workers Regulations on the other hand is decidedly quite in terms of reported cases which suggests that this piece of European legislation is neither wanted nor required in the United Kingdom at this stage. | <urn:uuid:14105c78-3b62-46e6-bee3-7d8caa993ab2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.brooksonone.co.uk/blog/awr-12-months-on-was-it-really-the-industry-overhaul-everyone-expected/ | 2019-07-16T00:56:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524290.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190715235156-20190716021156-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.973898 | 789 |

SINGAPORE: It was a Sunday of many firsts for Kadir Mohammad Abdul, Hosen Sahadat, Islam Shohidul and Abul Hosen. It was their first time inside a Housing Development Board home - though they’d certainly helped build enough of these flats over the years.
Their first evening as guests of a Singaporean family. Their first taste of a real Singaporean home-cooked meal.
On their sole day off after a draining week of 12-hour work days while fasting, the four men from Bangladesh had spent some time at their dormitory in Mandai dressing up for the occasion.
Kadir, the ‘elder brother’ of the group, sported a striped shirt, Sahadat and Shohidul donned punjabi suits, while Abul, the youngest, filled out a shirt and vest. They were upbeat if a tad nervous as the hour of iftar - the breaking of the fast during Ramadan - drew closer.
When asked, Kadir brushed it off with a laugh and the Singlish-ism he’d picked up after six years in Singapore. “No lah, scared for what?” he said, as they navigated the confusing layout of the HDB block's circular void deck, trying to find the way up to the third-storey unit.
“Happy lah, our first time here.”
Waiting for them were their Singaporean hosts, Siti Zawiyah, a nurse in her late 30s, and her husband, interior designer Fadzullah Hassan.
When Siti learnt that a friend who works at CNA Insider was documenting the lives of migrant workers this Ramadan, she thought this would be a good opportunity to “take that first step” to invite them to dinner - a gesture of appreciation for what they’d done for Singapore, as well as sympathy for the fact that they were thousands of miles from home during this time.
Over the years, Siti and Fadzullah have shared trays of food with migrant workers while breaking fast at the mosque during Ramadan.
We’ve been wanting to invite them over, but we just didn’t know how to approach someone and say, ‘Oh, do you want to come to our house?’
And so, Siti asked her parents if they could host the four Bangladeshis at their five-room flat, the roomy venue for countless family gatherings. “It was an instant yes, no apprehension whatsoever.”
In fact Madam Sukati Mustaffa, a homemaker in her mid-60s, asked if more of their fellow workers could come. Their enthusiasm, Siti reckons, springs her father’s time as a drydock fitter at Keppel Shipyard, where he worked for four decades alongside migrant workers.
The family had grown accustomed to hearing Mr Mohamad Lamin talk affectionately about his colleagues from Bangladesh, Myanmar and India.
“He understands how they have been away from family, so it’s always been in his nature to bring food from home for them,” said Siti.
HAPPINESS AND TEARS
For iftar with their special guests that night, Mdm Sukati had prepared well-loved family dishes such as sambal prawns, pan-fried mackerel fillets, stir-fried vegetables and chicken curry. Siti’s younger sister and brother-in-law also came over with their young children.
At 6.30pm, Kadir and his friends showed up at the door. They greeted the adults shyly, but were almost immediately drawn to the children - Myiesha, a smiley six-year-old, and playful toddler Mateen.
Abul, 26, seemed to have a natural affinity for them, while the children seemed to touch something deep in Kadir. “Now, I'm seeing this, I'm missing...” said the older man, unable to finish as emotion took hold.
This is the sixth consecutive Ramadan that the father of three has spent away from his family. Kadir has had to watch his children - aged six, eight and ten - grow up through video calls and photos. Earlier that day, he’d tried to make his usual Sunday call to them, but the connection had failed, and the homesick longing was clear on this face.
WATCH: Trying to make a home away from home (7:31)
Siti's family was curious about their Bengali visitors, but didn't want to to unnerve them by being too forward with questions.
“It took a while for them to warm up. But my father helped a lot by sitting with and talking to them,” Siti said.
Her husband, Fadzullah, gave a short heartfelt speech thanking them for the sacrifices they made to work here and build Singapore.
A beaming Kadir expressed how he was “very very happy” to be invited - and abruptly broke down into heaving sobs, the pain of being away from his own family crashing down hard on him.
“Don't cry. You will meet your family,” said Mr Mohamad, trying to comfort him.
'HAVE WE EXCLUDED THEM?'
Siti understands only too well what migrant workers like Kadir go through, especially the loneliness. “Despite being with friends in the dorm, ultimately that’s work, and it’s sad not to have family relations,” she said. “Relying on mobile phones, how happy can they really be?”
In 2015, soon after she and Fadzullah got married, the couple organised a small backpack-and-toiletries donation drive for migrant workers. The idea came about when Siti spotted a worker on the train with a dirty, tattered bag. “My niece had a nicer bag,” she thought.
The couple collected more than 100 backpacks filled with hygiene essentials. But when they tried to hand these out for free to workers near construction sites, “they were quite apprehensive,” said Siti.
It was as if they felt they didn’t deserve any goodness from us.
The couple then contacted advocacy group Transient Workers Count Too (TWC2), which among other things, runs a free food programme for destitute workers in Little India. Being there and handing out the remaining backpacks “was an eye-opening experience”, Siti said.
They met migrant workers who could no longer work due to injuries, but had no savings to return home “so they were pretty much in limbo”. Some of these workers could not believe that they could keep the bags for free.
“‘Do I have to do something?’ they would ask me. I’d say, ‘No, no, it’s yours to keep.’
“That was when I asked myself why they would react this way. What does it say about us? Have we always excluded them?” added Siti.
Nicholas Harrigan, a university lecturer who volunteers as one of TWC2’s research coordinators, said that “despite adversity, overall these men are resourceful and proud”.
But, “they are away from home, they work long hours for low pay, and they’re often in considerable debt,” he noted. “All of these can contribute to poor mental health. But job insecurity, agent fee debt and verbal harassment by supervisors are the most damaging.”
So “while social integration would be nice,” Mr Harrigan said, “honestly, it is a long way down the list of priority issues migrant workers would like resolved”.
GIVING BACK, BEYOND RAMADAN
Still, knowing that someone cares could go some way towards helping them bear that burden.
Fadzullah believes that coming to Singapore “is a gamble” for many migrant workers. “If it’s good, they earn money and rejoin their families. But if they fall sick or get injured, they lose everything. No money, no future for them or their families.”
That is why he and Siti hope that more Singaporeans would “play a part by giving back” to these men - and not just during Ramadan, when the spirit of giving runs high.
“For most of us who work, we have enough and there is always something we can give - not in terms of money all the time, but in terms of time and effort also,” Siti said.
And giving back is just what dozens of CNA Insider viewers have volunteered to do, in a moving response to Part 1 of this story describing the life of Muslim migrant workers during Ramadan.
Many on Facebook said they would be happy to host migrant workers to a meal at home - and starting Sunday (June 10) night, several will get to do just that, in house calls facilitated initially by CNA Insider.
Reflecting on his first experience as a guest in a local home, Kadir said that while he was a bit nervous at first, the family was very friendly.
“The culture is actually very similar to my family. Together we sit on the floor, share makan, and after praying we have tea and talk… I miss this. It makes me very happy,” said Kadir, who is planning a one-week trip back to Bangladesh during Hari Raya Haji in August.
Said Fadzullah: “We as Singaporeans need to take the first step. I’m glad that we did today, and inshaa'Allah (god willing), we’ll do it again.” | <urn:uuid:2ae09349-fdcb-49c7-82f8-4980792d65bb> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/cnainsider/ramadan-muslim-migrant-workers-iftar-home-giving-back-10413250 | 2019-07-16T00:01:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524290.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190715235156-20190716021156-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.980871 | 2,077 |
Corelis introduces High-Performance I2C Bus Analyzer, Exerciser, Debugger, Tester and Programmer
Corelis’ CAS-1000-I2C™ High-Performance I2C Bus Analyzer, Exerciser, Debugger, Tester, and Programmer with JTAG controller supports I2C data rates up to 5 Mbits/sec.
Cerritos, CA, December 27, 2005 — Corelis Inc., introduced today a High-Performance I2C Bus Analyzer, Exerciser, Debugger, Tester and Programmer targeted at laboratory, development, production/manufacturing and field environments. The CAS-1000-I2C™ is an advanced instrument used in the monitoring and testing of devices and systems incorporating one or more I2C buses. The CAS-1000-I2C can be used to monitor in real-time and log I2C bus traffic, generate traffic to exercise the bus and communicate to its components, program in-system EEPROMs, validate bus specification compliance, confirm protocol of bus traffic, and emulate I2C compatible devices that are not yet physically connected to the bus. The CAS-1000-I2C also includes a JTAG controller that, when used with Corelis optional ScanExpress software, can perform boundary-scan interconnect testing and in-system programming of flash memories and CPLDs.
Because of its rich feature set, reliability, portability and ease-of use, the CAS-1000-I2C can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as product development, troubleshooting, validation, system integration, production, and field testing. 32-bit Windows® 2000/XP host software included with the CAS-1000-I2C provides highly user-friendly GUI control/visibility of the CAS-1000-I2C, including set-up, options, traffic visibility screens, and test actions. For integrating the CAS-1000-I2C into a new or existing test environment, the API included with the CAS-1000-I2C can be used to operate the CAS-1000-I2C from third party software applications such as National Instruments’ LabWindows/CVI and LabView software.
“The I2C bus was initially developed by Philips for basic communication between devices. It has since evolved, increasing in performance and finding many new applications including data transfer and system-level command-and-control.” said Steve Hartman, product marketing manager of Corelis Inc. “Consequently, it is important to have reliable tools that can support not only the current testing and simulation requirements but also future requirements.”
The CAS-1000-I2C supports Standard, Fast and High-Speed mode I2C bus data rates up to 5 Mbits/sec and uses a high-speed USB 2.0 interface for easy connection to a PC. The host PC supplies operating power to the unit and the hot-plug feature of the USB standard is fully supported. You simply plug the CAS-1000-I2C into a PC USB 2.0 socket and it will be automatically detected, configured, and ready for use.
For those applications that require in-system programming of serial EEPROMs, the CAS-1000-I2C provides easy-to-use high-speed in-system programming of I2C compatible serial EEPROMs. Users can program the devices in-system and at maximum programming speed – typically in several seconds (depending on the memory size). The CAS-1000-I2C supports most common I2C EEPROM devices, including those from Atmel, Microchip, Xicor and other device manufacturers. Additional devices and manufacturers support is being added by Corelis on a regular basis.
The CAS-1000-I2C also fully supports the System Management Bus (SMBus). The SMBus was defined by Intel® Corporation and is based on the principles of operation of the I2C bus, providing a control bus for system and power management related tasks. It is commonly used in personal computers and servers for low-speed system management communications.
The CAS-1000-I2C is available in 2 different models (/A and /E) with a list price starting at $3,950.

Burgers ‘n’ beats.
Dutch designers working for McDonald’s have made a placemat that turns into a mini music production station.
With paper printed using conductive ink, the McTrax contains a small battery and thin circuit board with 26 digital touchpoints offering in-house produced audio loops, synths and other musical effects. Your smartphone acts as the speaker and screen and you can also record your own voice.
All you need to do is put your phone on the mat, download an app and sync it to the placemat via Bluetooth. Just keep your greasy fries out of sight.
Sadly, the McTrax has only been rolled out in the Netherlands so far and no plans have been unveiled yet to launch it worldwide, but there’s always hope. And Happy Meals.
Watch these lucky Dutch customers have a play around on the paper toy below.
Last year, McDonald’s was accused of asking bands to play its South by Southwest showcase for free in exchange for “exposure.” The fast food chain later changed its approach, with a McDonald’s spokesperson saying: “To further support these artists, all bands performing at our showcase will be compensated.”
