Hilti places 22nd among the top 25 multinational employers worldwide. Peter Metzler, a coach for corporate culture, is still an enthusiastic employee after almost 32 years of service to Hilti. "It’s fascinating to me to see how we continue to develop our culture and implement it on a worldwide basis."
You have been employed by Hilti for almost 32 years. What continues to enthuse you about the company?
I’m proud to work here and grateful for everything I have learned during this period. For the last 13 years I have been a Corporate Culture Coach with Hilti. I find it fascinating how the company develops and implements its corporate culture. This is done in a constant dialog at all levels of the company where the corporate values are transported to the regions, where they are lived out every day. This is one additional example of how we help our employees to develop their full potential and make a direct contribution to the company’s success.
Being international is important to Hilti in several ways. How do you experience that today after having been active in various countries and functions?
The diversity of nationalities is both enriching and challenging, for me personally as well as for the company. We realize that the diversity of thought and methods is the basis for innovative solutions. But on a daily basis we find that we have to invest more and more to improve in this area. There is a willingness to do this, and I clearly see that the enthusiasm in the teams, to continue the journey that we have started, is also there.
How would you view the goal of better improving the interaction and cooperation among various generations?
This is another area where we are at the start of a lengthy process. We start from a spot where the different generations place very different levels of emphasis on topics such as work-life balance, career planning, changes to the professional environment or one’s own agility. But I’m confident that we will find solid solutions in this regard for everyone because I see that we are treating each other with a greater amount of respect than before. The curiosity of learning from each other has increased and the fear of the unknown has receded. I think this is great.
What characterizes Hilti as an employer?
Hilti has offered me unique opportunities to work in various functions in different countries. I have been able to share these experiences with my family. When I look back on my personal situation, at an age of almost 60, I continue to find it extraordinary how I am challenged and supported and how I can make a contribution.

In August NatWest launched a new fund, as part of its customer charter, to support local charities and projects, and invited customers and local people to decide who would benefit from this new community initiative. 380 individual funds of £5,000 were created nationwide, with £3,000 set to be awarded to the most popular good cause and £1,000 to the two runners up.
After weeks of voting a panel, made up of local bank officials, customers and community figures, carefully examined the nomination papers and chose Children's Hospice South West, Wiltshire Air Ambulance, and Wessex 4 x 4 Rescue, as the three charities to benefit from North Wiltshire's fund. The local community have since voted on which of the three charities would receive the £3,000 top donation and which two would each receive £1,000 - and Wiltshire Air Ambulance came out on top.
Sharon Jelfs, NatWest's Senior Bank Manager for North Wiltshire, who handed over the winnings, said: "The Community Fund really captured the imagination of the local community and my colleagues and I would like to say a big thank you to all those that took the time to nominate and then vote. All three charities are winners but for the Wiltshire Air Ambulance team it is obviously an extra special time."
Bruce Jarvis from Wiltshire Air Ambulance, said: "We are delighted to be voted the most popular good cause by the local community. The WAAA relies on charitable giving and corporate donations such as these to raise the £700,000.00 we need to fund the helicopter flying in Wiltshire enabling us to continue to save lives."

One of the much anticipated announcements to come out of WWDC 2011’s opening keynote was Apple’s new iCloud service. Offering new cloud-based syncing and storage for iOS devices and iTunes, iCloud takes what MobileMe started and promises to turn it into something both useful and that actually works. But with iOS 5 not available to the public just yet, what can existing iOS 4.3 users do that will put the new iCloud service through its paces?
Effective June 6, 2011, if you had an active MobileMe account, your service has been automatically extended through June 30, 2012, at no additional charge. After this, the MobileMe service will no longer be available.
What will happen to the content I have on MobileMe?
Apple has announced a new service called iCloud which will be available this fall and free for iOS 5 and OS X Lion users. When you sign up for iCloud, you’ll be able to keep your me.com or mac.com email address and move your MobileMe mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks to the new service.
Part of iCloud’s feature-set is the ability to wirelessly download and sync newly purchased content to up to 10 devices. Already purchased content, such as music or iBooks, can be re-downloaded for free individually. Previously, downloading already purchased music would result in your iTunes account being charged as if you never bought it the first time, so this is a welcome change from Apple.
iTunes in the Cloud (Your Music Locker): this service allows any newly purchased content, such as songs, Apps or iBooks, to be automatically synced over the air to up to 10 devices. For already purchased content, users will have the option to download each song, App or book individually.
In order to show off how this works on current iOS 4.3 equipped iOS devices, and iOS 5, folks from ‘This Is My Next’ put together some short videos, showing some these new features in action.
The first video shows Topolsky re-downloaded pre-purchased music (who doesn’t love the Beach Boys?) and after a couple of attempts and accepting the usual 60-odd page licensing agreement the process worked.
If you’re going to try this at home though, please do remember that this is still early beta-grade software and Apple will no doubt have a few kinks to work out at their end so be patient!
Another major announcement, and arguably the most eagerly anticipated, was iOS 5. Featuring more new features than you can shake an Android-shaped stick at, iOS 5 is the biggest overhaul of Apple’s mobile operating system since the invention of the App Store way back when.
In another ‘This Is My Next‘ video, we’re treated to a first hand account of what’s going on in the first beta – with notifications, widgets and the new camera app being the stars of this particular show.
More on iOS 5 and its iCloud integration when we’ve had chance to spend some time with it ourselves. | <urn:uuid:2e174ff7-5570-4a72-9eab-6fc742645a03> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.redmondpie.com/itunes-in-the-cloud-ios5-shown-in-video/ | 2019-07-16T00:09:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524290.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190715235156-20190716021156-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.941673 | 645 |
Almost 8 years ago I created this blog as a journal. As a way to hold myself accountable to my half marathon training. Almost 8 years later I don’t need that accountability any longer. Not only am I self-motivated, I have found a community of supportive runners that I have grown to love and appreciate (I am talking about my MRTT Tampa ladies). What I do miss about my blog 8 years ago is the simplicity. I blogged for me. I also blogged with the hopes I could share my journey and motivate others along the way. As the years passed I continued to blog, but it became about sponsored posts and deadlines and less about running. My journey fell away and my blog became another full time job. While I will still continue work with brands I can tell you that I am now much more selective. I will be sharing about things I absolutely love and not just about stuff I may get for free.
I am actually excited about this blog again. I thought I needed to rebrand, but in all actuality I just needed a break. | <urn:uuid:29783d25-99b5-4f51-a7de-50b626e0b5d1> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.runninglovingliving.com/2018/11/new-or-possibly-old-beginnings.html?shared=email&msg=fail | 2019-07-16T01:00:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524290.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190715235156-20190716021156-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.976892 | 220 |

Talent Engagement: Why Employee Onboarding Integration With An ATS Provider Is Essential
As an employer, you’ve probably already heard about the advantages of integrating employee onboarding with your ATS. So what is employee onboarding exactly? It is having all the necessary resources in place to ensure your new employees can transition into productivity mode upon joining your company without delay.
From having the required documentation ready, ensuring availability of technology assets, or any other tasks on the employee onboarding checklist- making new joiners feel welcomed secures many benefits including higher retention and staff engagement.
Having a well thought out employee onboarding strategy is a mandatory step to support new hires in adjusting to the workplace with ease. Whether social or performance based aspects, being empowered with the knowledge and tools to optimally function with an organization is a mutual win for both the employer and employee in many different ways.
Fortunately, this is where employee onboarding integration with an ATS provider does the heavy lifting for you, providing employers with many rewards that make it worth the investment, read on to find out how.
1) Assured Compliance:
Maintaining adherence to the organization’s policies and procedures is the backbone of any successful business. Different employers have different areas of focus, thus onboarding ensures ease of knowledge sharing relevant to safety regulations, confidentiality clauses, code of conduct and reporting hierarchies so that new employees have a clear understanding of do’s and don’ts of workplace behavior and overall expectations right from the start.
2) Robust Engagement:
Getting newcomers motivated and optimistic about this fresh chapter in their professional journey makes them feel like a significant driving force behind company’s wellbeing. Having this sense of belonging and security to add value to the operations is proven to improve retention rates.
Infact, studies have concluded that 76% of employees that feel undervalued end up switching jobs in search of a more fulfilling opportunity with higher levels of connection, involvement and acknowledgement. Make sure your newcomers bloom into top performers; customized communication highlighting major responsibilities, tentative work week agendas, tech tools to use, and new joiner announcements are just a few of the elements to check off your onboarding list to ensure that you extend the warmest of welcomes to new hires.
3) Cost Savings:
While we’re on the topic of engagement, this would be the best time to add that well planned onboarding and ATS integration are directly linked to cost savings. A sincerely invested workforce will have a higher incentive to work hard and perform to the best of their abilities.
The result? Money saved that would otherwise be spent searching for replacement talent and incurring loss of productivity.
4) Reduced Training Costs:
Many employers are now relying on video tutorials and content to help their new hires get ahead of the learning curve. Instead of bringing in coaches, arranging travel/lodging, and incurring huge costs to facilitate knowledge sharing, the right onboarding solution can help slash these expenses significantly.
Not sure if this matters to your company? Recent research states that businesses can experience a loss of almost 60% of their workforce over a span of 4 years when investment in training is not a staple objective.
5) Exceptional performance:
All employers want employees on their team with a reputation for going above and beyond expectations to deliver outstanding outputs. Research on employee onboarding led to not so surprising outcomes highlighting higher performance levels. Newcomers that were effectively integrated into the organization were not just a better cultural fit, exhibited better teamwork, but also demonstrated a stronger understanding of the level of excellence expected from their work.
With 60% of companies of failing to set milestones or goals for new hires, it’s easy to see how lack of employee onboarding integration with their ATS has resulted in avoidable losses for businesses to tackle.
Perfecting the employee onboarding process is truly no rocket science. The right technology and vendor can sync hiring and onboarding so you too can gain rank as a best-in-class company with the best strategy in place. With benefits including improved employee engagement, satisfaction, productivity and pride associated with their job, there’s no reason for an employer to get left behind. | <urn:uuid:0063bdd4-faf5-46cd-9672-9f7d21057e76> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.talentera.com/en/resources/talent-engagement-why-employee-onboarding-integration-with-an-ats-provider-is-essential | 2019-07-16T00:49:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524290.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190715235156-20190716021156-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.945383 | 860 |
Casio have launched a bevy of new beginner compact cameras at CES 2012. Packing a handful of specs that belie their entry-level status, the Exilim ZS150, ZS20, ZS12 and ZS6 are all looking very capable little snappers.
Top of the line is the ZS150, offering a 24mm wide angle lens and a 12.4x optical zoom. Perhaps its most attractive feature is its use of the Exilim Engine HS. This allows for a super-fast boot-up time of 0.99 seconds, letting you take consecutive shots with a gap of just 0.29 seconds.
HD video capture at 720p is also possible, with decent low light performance with an f3 aperture. Premium Auto Mode helps take great, optimised snaps straight away. A 2.7inch LCD sits on the rear and with a USB-rechargeable battery tucked away inside.
Though the rest of the entry-level cameras launched by Casio share similar specifications, there are a few notable difference. Firstly, XS20 has a slightly narrower 26mm lens, with a 6x optical zoom. The ZS12 and ZS6 also have a 26mm wide angle but only a 5x zoom, while the ZS12 model is slimmest.

Strike a Chord: Why Does The Vaccine-Autism Debate Still...
In 1998, a physician namedAndrew Wakefield published a paper that linked vaccinations with Autism. It would set off a 20 year debate among doctors, scientists, policy makers, and parents.

20 years ago a physician claimed that vaccinating your child would put them at risk for autism. President Trump agrees.
During the 2016 campaign trail, President Trump repeatedly asserted that vaccines are linked to autism.
"We've had so many instances - people that work for me just the other day, 2 years old, 2 1/2 years old. a child, a beautiful child went to have the vaccine and came back a week later got a tremendous fever, got very sick. Now he's autistic," President Trump said.
This statement prompted a swift outcry from the medical community denying this claim.
Alison Singer, the President of the Autism Science Foundation, said it's not just the President of the United States who has this view. There are thousands of people who don't vaccinate their children. According to the World Health Organization, around 40,000 people were diagnosed with measles in Europe in 2018 alone. Singer points to the public's distrust of vaccines as the reason. But, she emphasized that not vaccinating your child could have serious repercussions.
"Once you put that scary idea into peoples minds that maybe vaccines cause autism it's very hard to get that scary idea out of their minds," Singer said. "So, the result is parents started withholding the MMR vaccine from their children."
So, how did this debate all get started? In 1998, physician Andrew Wakefield published a research paper in The Lancet that alleged a the link between the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) Vaccine and being autistic. It was later found that Wakefield had manipulated evidence from the study. The research paper was eventually completely retracted in 2010, but its publication has had lasting repercussions.
Singer thinks this controversy shouldn't even be a debate at all.
"The question of whether or not vaccines cause autism is a question that science can answer," Singer said. "Science has answered it, and the answer is no. Vaccines don't cause autism."
Gayle DeLong isn't too convinced. DeLong, an associate professor of economics and finance at Baruch Collge, published a research paper in 2011 once again alleging a link between vaccines and autism. DeLong said she was discouraged by some of the criticism her paper received.
"Some people were saying, 'well, vaccines don't cause autism.' Yet, there's so much research out there that says there's a possibility," DeLong said.
DeLong has two daughters who are on the spectrum. In 2014, she wrote an article in the Age of Autism, where she coined the term Autism Induced Breast Cancer, where she asserts her breast cancer was caused by raising two children with autism. No scientist or medical professional has used having autistic kids as a possible indicator of breast cancer. DeLong didn't attend medical school. Before embarking on her research, she hadn't conducted any previous scientific studies. Even still, DeLong said her resolve is only strengthened when she sees the growing number of autism diagnoses each year in the US. According to the The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 59 children who are around the age of 8 have been diagnosed with autism.
DeLong said more people should be open to considering the possibility that vaccines cause autism.
"People say that we can't stop vaccinating, because then all these horrible diseases will come back," DeLong said. "Many of the horrible diseases, and they truly are horrible - dysphoria is horrible, whooping cough is horrible. Many of the diseases were already on their way out before vaccines were introduced."
The CDC published a statement last year, saying that the rise in autism isn't due to the number of vaccines children are getting. It's because doctors are getting better at screening children for autism.
Dr. Jane Zucker, the Assistant Commisioner at the New York City Department of Health, said the Internet is part of the problem. Zucker says it gives people who don't vaccinate their children, known as "Anti-Vaxxers", more credibility than they should have. When Zucker is advising parents about vaccinations, she says she has them look at reputable websites and articles.
"Unfortunately, you can go on the Internet and find a lot of incorrect vaccine information very quickly. It's often what comes up first on the google search. But I try to steer them towards reliable information do they can read for themselves."
Zucker points to the CDC, the World Health Organization and dozens of peer-reviewed journals that assert vaccines have never, and will never, cause autism. | <urn:uuid:34e4719d-0fef-4f3e-8271-8299bdafac76> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.wfuv.org/content/strike-chord-vaccine-autism-controversy-debate-donald-trump | 2019-07-16T00:23:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524290.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190715235156-20190716021156-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.982112 | 986 |

One could reasonably make the argument that the right to free speech under the First Amendment of the Constitution is one of the most fundamental American principles in existence. That being said, there is often a contentious and shifting debate about if and where the government should draw a line. Should it curb the free expression of certain ideas that will likely be offensive to many? And if so, who gets to decide what’s considered “offensive”?
On Monday, June 24th, the Supreme Court struck down a decision denying the registration of a trademark due to its perceived profane nature. Erik Brunetti, owner of the Los Angeles-based streetwear brand “FUCT” (an acronym for “Friends U Can’t Trust”), had his original trademark application denied by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) under a provision of the Lanham Act.
Scripted in 1946, the Lanham Act is the predominant federal statute governing U.S. trademark laws. The Act states that no trademark can be refused registration due to its nature unless it consists of or comprises 1) immoral, deceptive, or scandalous matter or 2) matter which may disparage or falsely suggest a connection with persons, living or dead, institutions, beliefs, or national symbols, or bring them into contempt, or disrepute [§ 2 (15 U.S.C. § 1052)].
This provision makes some degree of sense in the context in which it was written. America in the 1940s and 50s was still very censorship-heavy, to the point where portrayals of toilets, pregnant women, and “naked” cartoon characters in the media had to be skirted around carefully or cut out altogether. But while media censorship laws largely evolved over time and in conjunction with changing societal ideas of what was and wasn’t acceptable, trademark law remained relatively unchanged in this regard until 2017.
In the 2017 case Matal v. Tam, a rock group, all of whose members were Asian-American, sought to have their controversial name—The Slants—trademarked after originally being denied by the PTO. The PTO rejected the application due to the mark’s sensitive racial nature, citing the Lanham Act’s provision prohibiting trademarks that disparage persons, institutions, beliefs, etc.
The Supreme Court, however, held that trademarks are “private speech” and as such are protected under the First Amendment. Trademarks can therefore not be denied registration because they express a certain viewpoint. The Opinion of the Court stated: “The disparagement clause denies registration to any mark that is offensive to a substantial percentage of the members of any group. That is viewpoint discrimination in the sense relevant here: Giving offense is a viewpoint.” This ruling effectively dismantled the latter half of the Lanham Act’s offensive trademark provision, allowing The Slants to trademark their band name.
It’s no great surprise then that the recent Iancu v. Brunetti case involving the aforementioned controversially labeled clothing brand reached a similar conclusion. Brunetti’s trademark was originally rejected by the PTO under the first clause of the Lanham provision that prohibits the registration of marks deemed “immoral or scandalous.” Once again, however, the Court concluded that determining whether something is “immoral or scandalous” is entirely viewpoint-based and cannot be decided upon objectively by the PTO or a court. The Opinion of the Court pointed out that, historically, the PTO has been susceptible to favoring certain views over others in its allocation of trademarks:
“This facial viewpoint bias in the [Lanham Act] results in viewpoint discriminatory application. The PTO has refused to register marks communicating ‘immoral’ or ‘scandalous’ views about (among other things) drug use, religion, and terrorism. But all the while, it has approved registration of marks expressing more accepted views on the same topics.”
The Court ruled in Brunetti’s favor, agreeing that the Lanham provision disfavored certain ideas over others and thus infringed upon his right to free speech.
In separate dissenting opinions, however, three of the Justices argued that the Lanham Act should be interpreted and applied more narrowly, focusing on trademarks that use offensive modes of expression rather than those that merely promulgate offensive ideas. This would mean that a trademark could not be rejected because of a viewpoint it expressed but could be rejected if it used profanity, lewd material, or explicit images to express its viewpoint.
But, as Justice Elena Kagan pointed out in the Opinion of the Court, the Lanham Act makes no such distinction between ideas and modes of expression. And for the court to create such a distinction would be to create a new law entirely.
Among those dissenting was Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who voiced concerns that the overruling of the Lanham Act provision would open the floodgates for a slew of vulgar and offensive trademarks. To her point, rulings such as these can indeed prove to be double-edged swords.
Take the Matal v. Tam case for instance. Whereas the ruling allowed a group of Asian-Americans artists to successfully re-appropriate what had traditionally been a racial slur, it’s easy to conceive of situations where such slurs or other sensitive content could be trademarked and used by groups to harmful ends. Indeed, the Matal v. Tam case was effectively the ruling that allowed the Washington Redskins football team to retain their trademark despite a decades-long battle with Native American activists who sought to ban the NFL team’s racially charged moniker.
However, there’s something to be said about the court of public opinion in these cases. Although there is now no law prohibiting “scandalous or immoral” trademarks, there is also no law mandating that stores must carry the products of or consumers must patronize companies with controversial trademarks. Consumer behavior itself is often the predominant regulator when it comes to what is and what isn’t acceptable. Just ask television star and business mogul Kim Kardashian, who was forced to rename her new line of shapewear (originally dubbed “Kimono”) just one week after its unveiling because of the intense public backlash over concerns of cultural appropriation.
It can sometimes be difficult to reconcile the right to free speech with certain, often personally-held moral values, especially when the two are in direct conflict with each other. The recent rulings on these issues, however, have largely indicated that the government will not play the part of moral compass in such instances, but will instead let the public social consciousness decide for itself what it will allow and what it will condemn.

Main Points With respect to Effective Web Designing7月 24, 2018 12:08 pm
Hiring a SUBSTANTIAL web designer is crucial and your wife’s brother is certainly not one. That’s right — we not lucky to obtain talented relatives who can perform our web designing for free. We listen to all the time; my cousin, young man, friend of a friend is definitely working on my personal website nonetheless unfortunately the outcome of the task is not really what I anticipated.
Right now you might want to increase a question ~? What makes a superb website?? And chances are that you are likely to hear same things repeatedly without paying much attention to all of them. The funniest thing is the fact most suggestions are useful only implemented in the correct way which usually delivers highest results. This is a list of handful of that you can use:
Always be willing to pay: Knowledge teaches all of us that “The cheapest selling price isn’t generally the BEST price”. We know everybody likes to complete the job at the most affordable rates. It is just a general psyche that is pass on evenly around different countries. When I eliminate a quote to other people, I occasionally visit the site to see the content material that is uploaded and always find the quality of work is quite a bit less good since what I could have offered. That is right – if you want to pay much less for internet designing, you site will usually lack the excellence.
Check every website link yourself: When a rough draft of web-site is prepared, do the tests yourself. Feel the content and check every link. No one can check your site as complete as the YOU.
Dealing with abandonment: We listen to a lot of complaints by clients whose websites have been completely left in middle by their designers. At times projects happen to be half finished or to get sites which were launched, things stop working smoothly or the web development company goes out of business and so forth To avoid a scenario like this, help to make a criminal background check of the provider that you are hiring beforehand. Check their collection, ask for personal references and if conceivable go to their office and check the operations. You don’t require a 16-year-old youngster working out of his room, do you?
Very clear and Easy Direction-finding: Nobody enjoys getting lost and navigation could make or break your site. Just about every webpage really should have a clear and consistent routing pane and a link towards the Home page. Home button is the most utilized button by a visitor – don’t conceal it in small textual content up in the header.
Choose a respectable colour blend scheme: You might be a Metallica fan however your website is made for the people. Generally give choice to the colors that appeal to public and if you hire an effective web developing company, it will probably make sure to make use of the colours that represent the products inside the most suitable way.
Performance of numerous browsers: Inquire your developer to make sure that your websites runs on as many web browsers and devices as possible to reach the largest viewers. Test your web-site on as many platform combos as possible which include Mac, COMPUTER, BlackBerry, Palmtops, cell phones, I actually Pads caalani.com and so forth Not carrying out that can bring about losing out more than thirty percent of customers.
Search Engine Optimization: The most crucial tool and this is the reason why I have brought up it within the last. There are simply no secrets to performing well at the search engines with the exception of writing a very good content. Keeping an eye on keywords and build a sound content that appears inside the first few searches of Yahoo or Google is an important web design support.

Mac os x bitcoin wallet location
Unless you are using a hardware wallet it is strongly recommended to read this page. In the case that your current wallet hasn't been protected adequately e. For a brief overview see also: Wallet Security Dos and Don'ts. Paper wallets can be mac os x bitcoin wallet location to store bitcoins offline in non-digital format. Using securely generated paper wallets significantly decreases the chances of your bitcoins being stolen by hackers or computer viruses.
Fundamentally, a paper wallet is merely a physical record of a HD wallet private seed. Hardware wallets are a major step to enhanced security and usability. See the Hardware wallets page for more information on which hardware wallet solutions are currently available. No software is perfect, and from time to time there may be security vulnerabilities found in your Bitcoin client as well. Be sure you keep your client updated with the latest bug fixes, especially when a new vulnerability is discovered.
We maintain a list a known vulnerabilities on this wiki - you can watch that page to get updates. Note that you don't need to be running the latest major client version: Bitcoin transactions send Bitcoins to a specific public key.
A Bitcoin address is an encoded hash of a public key. In order to use received Bitcoins, you need to have the private key matching the public key you received with. This is sort of like a super long password associated with an account the account is the public key.
Your Bitcoin wallet contains all of the private keys necessary for spending your received transactions. If you delete your wallet without a backup, then you no longer have the authorization information necessary to claim your coins, and the coins associated with those keys are lost forever.
Mac os x bitcoin wallet location wallet contains a pool of queued keys. By default there are keys in the key pool. The size of the pool is configurable using the "-keypool" command mac os x bitcoin wallet location argument. A brand new address is generated to fill the pool back to So when a backup is first created, it has all of your old keys plus unused keys. After sending a transaction, it has 99 unused keys. After a total of new-key actions, you will start using keys that are not in your backup.
Since the backup does not have the private keys necessary for authorizing spends of these coins, restoring from the old backup will cause you to lose Bitcoins. Creating a new address generates a new pair of public and private keys, which are added to your wallet. Each keypair is mostly random numbers, so they cannot be known prior to generation. If you backup your wallet and then create more than new addresses, the keypair associated with the newest addresses will not be in the old wallet because the new keypairs are only known after creating them.
Any coins received at these addresses will be lost if you restore from the backup. The situation is made somewhat more confusing because the receiving addresses shown in the UI are not the only keys in your wallet.
Each Bitcoin generation is given a new public key, and, more importantly, each sent transaction also sends some number of Bitcoins back to yourself mac os x bitcoin wallet location a new key. When sending Bitcoins to anyone, you generate a new keypair for yourself and simultaneously send Bitcoins to your new public key and the actual recipient's public key. This is an anonymity feature — it makes tracking Bitcoin transactions much more difficult. So if you create a backup, and then do more than things that cause a new key to be used, and then restore from the backup, some Bitcoins will be lost.
Bitcoin has not deleted any keys keys are never deleted — it has created a new key that is not in your old backup and then sent Bitcoins to it. A backup is therefore recommended roughly every 50 transactions or address creations just to be safe. If mac os x bitcoin wallet location wallet or an encrypted wallet's password has been compromised, it is wise to create a new wallet and transfer the full balance of bitcoins to addresses contained only in the newly created wallet.
Examples of ways a wallet may be compromised are through password re-use, minimal strength passwords, computer hack or virus attack. There are a number of ways to create a new wallet with Bitcoin-Qt or bitcoind but this is a process that has been tested with bitcoind 0. We use the copy command to minimize the chance of any data loss but you are warned to make backups of any wallet. Unless you are using a hardware walletyou must take care that the system is free of malware, viruses, keyloggers, remote access tools, and other tools that may be used to make remote copies of your wallet, Bitcoin-related passwords, or Bitcoin private keys.
When your computer is compromised, the precautions taken below may provide additional protection. A hardware wallet typically holds the private keys on its internal storage that is not accessible by any malware. The device signs the transactions internally and only transmits the signed transactions to the computer. The separation of the private keys from the vulnerable environment allows the user to spend bitcoins on a compromised computer without any risk. Among its features are bind-hooks to set up a tomb's contents in the place where other programs expect them, for example in our case mount -o bind the.
First install tomb from https: Now close the tomb and store its keys safely, make sure you memorize the password. Have a look at Tomb's documentation, there is a number of things you can do like steganography or printing out keys on a paper to hide and such. Every time you like to access your wallet open the tomb and the. One can also store the bitcoin binary inside the tomb and even start the bitcoin client using the exec-hooks.
Tomb's manual page "man tomb" explains the possibilities. The advantage of this approach over an encrypted home is that it becomes extremely portable across computers and even online shells: The first step is to make a new user. In order for that new user to have an encrypted home directory, you'll first need the encryption utility. You'll need to come up with a secure new password for that user.
Then switch user to the new user. Since the home folder of this user is encrypted, if you're not logged in as that user, data that is saved there can't be browsed, even by a root user. If something goes wrong with your system, and you need to decrypt the new user's files, you'll need its decryption key.
It will ask you for your user's password and give you the decryption key. You can run it again later if you need to, but run it now so that you can get your data if your Linux install gets botched.
The encrypted folder data is not encrypted while it's in memory, and so if it's ever sent to the swap partition it can be stolen from there unless that too is encrypted - be aware that this will mean you cannot use Hibernate anymore, as the bootloader won't be able to restore the hibernation data.
Then click on a folder in the new user to display the file browser, then keep going up folders until you see the new user home directory, then right click to bring up the Properties dialog, then click on the Permissions tab, then in the Others section, set the folder access to None.
This also applies to the storage of passwords, private keys and other data that can be used to access any of your Bitcoin mac os x bitcoin wallet location. Assuming that you have installed the Windows Bitcoin client and run it at least once, the process is described below. For help finding this directory, see Locating Mac os x bitcoin wallet location Data Directory. For example, if you installed Bitcoin in the default directory, mounted your Bitcoin encrypted drive as E: After doing this, any time you want to use Bitcoin, you must first mount the Bitcoin encrypted disk image using the same drive designation, and then run Bitcoin mac os x bitcoin wallet location the shortcut that you created, so that it can find its data and your wallet.
Anyone who can access an unencrypted wallet can easily steal all of mac os x bitcoin wallet location coins. Use one of these encryption programs if there is any chance someone might gain access to your wallet. There is also a list of open source encryption software.
Decrypting and encrypting the wallet. There is also a method to print out and encrypt your wallet. Brute-force password cracking has come a long way. A mac os x bitcoin wallet location including capitals, numbers, and special characters with a length of 8 characters can be trivially solved now using appropriate hardware. The recommended length mac os x bitcoin wallet location at least 12 characters long. You can also use a multi-word password and there are techniques to increase the strength of your passwords without sacrificing usability.
The Usability of Passwords. However, simply using dictionary words is also insecure as it opens you up to a dictionary attack. If you use dictionary words, be sure to include random symbols and numbers in the mix as well. If you use keyfiles in addition to a password, mac os x bitcoin wallet location is unlikely that your encrypted file can ever be cracked using brute-force methods, even when even a 12 character password might be too short. Assume that any encrypted files you store online eg.
Gmail, Dropbox will be stored somewhere forever and can never be erased. You might want to read What is your way to create good passwords that can actually be remembered? Short complex password, or long dictionary passphrase? Backing up your wallet is not necessary if you use a wallet with implemented BIP hierarchical deterministic wallet. For advise on the backup process see Backing up your wallet. It is likely that advanced tools can still be mac os x bitcoin wallet location to recover the wallet.
The Linux shred command can be used to overwrite the wallet file with random data prior to deleting; this particular copy of the file will then be practically impossible to recover. Using shred and similar tools on Windows however does not guarantee that still other copies don't exist somewhere hidden on your HD.
Bitcoin Core runs as a full network node and maintains a local copy of the block chain. This data independence improves wallet privacy and security. With local access to the complete set of headers and transactions, Bitcoin Core can use full verification to tell when peers lie about payments.
However, mac os x bitcoin wallet location with the block chain comes at a price. An ever-growing data set causes smaller hard drives to fill up quickly.
This article describes two approaches that can be used with either a new or existing Bitcoin Core 0. To protect yourself from loss of funds, make a backup of your wallet now. After the backup has been saved, exit Bitcoin Core. The first step is finding the default data directory. Mac, Windows, and Linux version of Bitcoin Core each store data in a different location. The mac os x bitcoin wallet location described here will use a graphical file browser to find it.
On Windows 7, begin by clicking on the Windows menu. Then click your username from the right-hand menu. Windows Explorer should show a folder containing mac os x bitcoin wallet location folders such as Contacts and Desktop. Another folder, AppData is hidden by default. Windows Explorer should now display an AppData folder. Then enter the Roaming folder, where the Bitcoin folder is contained.
Double click on the Application Support folder. On Ubuntu, open a file browser by clicking on the folder icon in the launcher. Having found the default data directory, we can now copy it. Be sure that Bitcoin Core has been shut down and is no longer running. The software occasionally takes a minute or two to completely exit. Begin by renaming the Bitcoin Core data directory. Use the name bitcoin-backup. This allows recovery of the original data directory in case something goes wrong.
To recover the original, reinstate the original name of the bitcoin-backup folder either Bitcoin or. Next copy the renamed bitcoin data directory to a destination of your choice. This can be the same hard drive, an external hard drive, or mac os x bitcoin wallet location removable medium such as USB drive or SD card.
Copying data may require only a few minutes or a couple of hours, depending on how up-to-date your copy of the block chain is and the speed of your hardware.
You can now rename the copied folder. For example, it might be convenient to use the name Bitcoin. With no default data directory, Bitcoin Core assumes that this is its first session. Launching Bitcoin Core should yield a welcome screen. This screen gives you to option to store data in the default location or a custom location. Select the second option. Bitcoin Core should continue starting up.
When the process completes, the software should work exactly as it did before. When ready to proceed to the next step, close the application. At this point your system contains two more or less identical copies of the data directory. Assuming there were no issues with the move, the original can now be deleted.
Browse to the location of the bitcoin-backup directory and delete it. Users of Armory on Mac face a tricky problem when trying to move the Bitcoin Core data directory. Armory only recognizes the default data directory on OS X. Moving it means that Armory will no longer function.
Fortunately, the solution is relatively simple. Create a symbolic link from the new data directory to the old default directory. Creating this link allows the new data directory mac os x bitcoin wallet location be used as if it still resided at the old location. Begin by launching the Terminal application. Instead of pulling the data directory out from under Bitcoin Core and then supplying a new path after startup, the data directory can be passed as the command line parameter datadir.
This approach keeps the existing default data directory intact. It also allows multiple data directories to be used side-by-side.
Windows users can create a shortcut that uses the command line option datadir. Doing so directs Bitcoin Core to use, not the default data directory, but the one given as a parameter. Browse mac os x bitcoin wallet location the location of the Bitcoin Core executable C: Next, add the command line option mac os x bitcoin wallet locationusing the path to your data directory. Double clicking the newly-created shortcut will direct Bitcoin Core to use the new data directory.
This places a shortcut on the desktop. Double clicking the resulting shortcut starts Bitcoin Core with the custom data directory. Although a similar shortcut-based approach will work on OS X, creating a clickable icon is much more difficult. Copy the Data Directory Having found the default data directory, we can now copy it.
Delete the Original Data Directory At this point your system contains two more or less identical copies of the data directory. Command Line Parameter Instead of pulling the data directory out from under Bitcoin Core and then supplying a new path after startup, the data directory can be passed as the command line parameter datadir. Conclusions Moving the Bitcoin Core data directory can be helpful in two situations: Was this post useful?

If you want the highest grade flotation, choose level flotation, because it gives you the best chance possible of staying upright and balanced should water get inside your boat.
The further a vessel's flotation is placed away from its centre of gravity, the more stable the boat will be for the crew to stay aboard, if flooded, instead of being capsized.
With this in mind, Waveriders have been designed so that flotation can be placed in the most stabilising location possible: the sides of the hull.
On the other hand, even a small amount of water in a boat with "positive" or "basic" flotation increases instability and the risk of capsizing. Why? Because often it's in areas like under the floor, and air always seeks to be above water. Basic and positive flotation is there to keep a part (like the tip of the bow) of a sinking boat above the surface, for later retrieval. Not for your survival.
Stable at rest
Like buoyant "feet" all around you, your footprint in the water is maximised in a Waverider.
Of course, this is why catamarans are so stable - they're wide at the waterline. However, wide mono-hulls usually have to sacrifice speed and performance to get stability, or get a bigger outboard, because so much more boat has to be pushed through the water which requires a bigger horsepower engine. See below to discover how a Waverider throws this on its head!
The width of a Waverider is so similar to catamarans of the same length that many people have compared the stability to a cat ... or a far bigger craft.
But it's not just it's width that makes Waveriders so stable. It's that big downward facing reverse chine. The deep, flat angles slow the sideways motion as the boat dips to the side, like when crew come aboard. Similar to pulling your cupped hand through deep water, the Waveriders also resist side-ways motion.
Stable on sharp turns
Waveriders resist banking/tilting during turns, because two design features work together to keep you level.
First, each reverse chine creates lift, forcing upward pressure on the side that usually banks, especially at speed.
Second, the wings of the reverse chine act like surfboard fins, encouraging forward motion and resisting sideways slip/slide. This is a great safety benefit as it prevents loss of control and subsequent capsizing.
Remaining level during turns means that the boat's footprint in the water does not alter shape, allowing you to maintain speed. Alternatively, a banking boat tilts, so that the hull behaves like a flat bottom barge, pushing water, requiring more throttle to maintain speed.
Notice in the photos, the curved wake shows the sharpness of the turn, yet the boat is very level.
Hydrodynamic Lift, to soften the ride
The huge reverse chines under each side of your Waverider hull means you have a firehose of resistance against tinnie bang.
Hydrodynamic lift is created from the hydrofoils built into your hull (the huge reverse chines). Unlike other monohulls, water is harnessed and manipulated (pressurised) to create lift and slow downward impact.
The smooth riding of Waveriders have been compared to fibreglass boats, when it comes to comfortable journeys. Quite the irony, given Waveriders ride higher in the water than most tinnies, and a lot higher than most fibreglass boats. A bonus is, the less a boat needs to be pushed through the water, the less throttle and fuel you need.
STABLE WITH CONTROL ON SWELLS
The design technology behind a Waverider's ability to actually "ride waves" makes them safer than any other boat.
- First, the reverse chine is a very specific angle and width which makes them have a similar function to surfboard fins. Without fins, a surfboard slips and slides on waves, allowing no control to the rider. In the same way, without the "wings" of a Waverider hull, a standard boat can do the same thing.
- Second, the beaminess of the hull is such, that the stability is truly trustworthy.
- Third, the reverse chine is carried all the way to the bow and stays just as radically wide as the sides. The distinctive "step" at the bow uses powerful hydrodynamic lift to force the nose out of a trough and prevent nose-diving & broaching.
These three features are an ecosystem, each working together and relying on each other when you find yourself driving towards a swell or with a swell at your back.
More floor space
The floorspace of a Waverider goes right over the wide reverse chine, and the flotation in the sides is raised to make space for your feet. So, you can stand right at the edge, not just because there's room to, but because the boat's stable enough to let you ... with others.
A bonus of the flotation-filled sides is that the vertical lining makes for a comfortable fishing spot, since you can lean your weight on it. Notice the diagram of the regular monohull -- the sides slope away from you, so you can't use them for steadying yourself against.
For knife-blade control and handling on bars and through wake, etc.
REVERSE CHINE AT BOW
To resist nosediving dangers.
LEVEL SHARP TURNS
So speed is maintained with greater manoeuvrability.
To resist capsizing if swamped.
For catamaran-like stability.
WIDE REVERSE CHINE
For the softest of rides, comparable to heavy fibreglass boats.
TOP STRUCTURE DESIGN
Now that we've covered the substructure of the hull design, we'll move on to the upper deck designs.
You have 2 choices: the Classic or the Luxe.
The Classic style features the timeless arching rise of the gunwales towards the bow, complete with a straight-back transom. The inside main deck is pushed as far forward as possible while still allowing for a small casting deck at the bow for maximum usability.
Available in sizes: 450, 475, 500
The Luxe style features upward-arching gunwales that slowly taper flat at the bow. A larger casting deck is supplied and the style is complimented with a fast back transom pod and either inbuilt steps or fold down steps that form part of the transom.
Available in sizes: 500, 550, 600 +
Both the Classic and the Luxe style Waveriders are available in several layout options.

Where's the tree?
Melody can still talk in that form. She just likes quacking.
Those braided tails must a b*tch fly with.
Whip the Rabbit:
This is obviously canon now. I will forever document Melody's ability to transform into a giant flying duck.
Iced Tea (Guest):
No way was Tea getting back into that costume, although I bet Moth secretly enjoys going mecha! Happy April Fool's!
So now we get to see what's up with Tree.
(an ent? a tree maiden? a giant tea tree in the sky??)
is tree going to be a new character, i can totally see a character called tree in the future
Hey! Where are the dragon duck's feet?????
This reminds me of the neverending story.
On another note, I've been using thewebcomiclist.com to know when you (and all other comics I read) update, but it's been giving a "Pattern Not Matching" error for a few weeks now. :(
I guess things are looking up for them huh.
Ha, I remember that.

To reduce high incidence of disabilities in the country, healthcare practitioners, parents and guardians have been advised to fulfill their responsibilities of monitoring their children to ensure early detection and intervention of the predisposing conditions.
Giving the advice recently, was the Governor Akinwumi Ambode of Lagos State who stressed on increased commitment to developmental assessment of a child’s life, particularly those between the ages zero to three.
The Governor said that this would improve the chances of early detection, intervention and ultimately reduce the prevalence disability in the society.
The governor who was represented by Dr. Idiat Oluranti Adebule, the deputy governor spoke at a stakeholder’s summit in Lagos with a theme: ‘Ability in disability: A Stitch in Time Saves Nine.’
He said the concept of early intervention is based on early identification and treatment of children who have established diagnosis such as cerebral palsy, down syndrome, autism or those who are at risk due to environmental factors such as malnutrition, poverty and rest.
Noting that greater percentage of the development of a child’s brain occurs at age three, the Governor therefore said; “Early intervention will afford us the opportunity to do whatever is necessary medically to salvage the situation and avoid the worst possibility that may occur if neglected.”
According to him, the summit is part of the State government’s effort to promote awareness for early intervention for children living with disability or at risk of disability and its associated challenges.
“This initiative is therefore targeted primarily at parents who are the first point of contact to the children; who are in the best position to identify issues that might affect the proper development of their children.”
He said helping them to discover their abilities and value it will enable them define their identities and to contribute their quota to the country’s development.
In her welcome address, Mrs. Joyce Onafowokan, Special Adviser to the Governor on Social Development, implored parents to visit healthcare professionals early for their children’s own good.
In his keynote address, Prof. Julius Ademokoya, Dean, Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan and President, Speech Pathology and Audiology Association of Nigeria (SPAAN) identified conditions that deserve early detection.
According to Prof. Ademokoya, such conditions include children that might have visual impairment of palsy, hearing impairment, mental retardation and intellectual disability.
Others are those who have chronic health and physical impairment, autism spectrum disorder and learning disability.
“We have those with multiple disabilities. Most of the time we pay attention to single disability, but it is not so. It is very common to see somebody with both ear and visual problem,” he stressed.
He also said some children don’t have physical and visible disability, yet they are not doing well, adding that such children need early intervention together with gifted and talented children too.
Prof. Ademokoya said there is need to make sure that early interventions are effected as early as possible to reduce disability effects; correct and rehabilitate the children,” he said.
He maintained that there is ability in any disability and therefore tasked people not to condemn a child because of disability. “There are individuals who because of early intervention overcame disability and eventually went on to make it in life,” he noted with examples.
Speaking on behalf of the Prof. Isaac Adewole, Minister of Health, Prof. Chris Bode, Chief Medical Director of Lagos University Teaching Hospital ( LUTH) said; “What we are saying today is that let the doctors, nurses, medical personnel know what to look for and pick them up very early because many babies die without being recognised or were presented too late because they were not recognised in the first few hours and days of birth.” | <urn:uuid:87803ac3-509b-4e0b-b04a-611e14ebf186> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.chiomaumeha.com/2018/08/disability-lagos-governor-urges-parents.html | 2019-07-17T04:35:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.970394 | 799 |

U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL DECISION IN FAVOUR OF PEACE AND STABILITY IN ALBANIA AND REGIONTIRANA, MARCH 29 (ATA)- By A. Frasheri, The Albanian Democratic Party (PDSH), today, considered very positive the decision of the U.N Security Council to send a contingent of multinational forces to Albania, as an act in favour of peace in Albania and in the region.
"The PD thanks all the OSCE member countries which supported the decision to send a multinational force to Albania as well as the U.N. Security Council members which decided to quickly send this force with a special mandate and, especially, those countries which will engage their forces in carrying out a great noble mission in Albania for the benefit of peace and stability in the country and region," the press release of the PDSH press and Information department says.
The demand for sending a multinational force, after the chaos sweeping the country, in which terrorist armed gangs have come out of control in several cities of Albania, was made by the President of the Republic, Sali Berisha, and was also reiterated by the Albanian government.
This demand was immediately supported by several European states including Italy, France, Turkey and other states.
Through this statement, the PD expresses the conviction that the mandate of this multinational force is a guarantee for the distribution of the humanitarian aid as well as for restoring calm in Albania.
Among the states which have expressed readiness to send troops in composition of this force are Italy, Turkey, Romania, Greece, Spain, Portugal and other states.
The multinational force to come to Albania will have civil missions and will consist of 2500 troops, which will later reach 5000. It will be lead by Italy.
The multinational force will stay in Albania until after the general elections, envisaged in June this year. eva/lm/Z/
CALM SITUATION IN TIRANETIRANE, MARCH 29 (ATA) - By P Shuteriqi: The situation in the district of Tirana is relatively calm. So far, 15 people have been killed and 51 wounded as a result of the uncontrolled fire of arms and for other motives.
According to reports, about 90 per cent of the families in the countryside are armed. The number of the arms that have been handed down so far amounts to 1 600, among which are arms of different kinds and calibers, along a considerable amount of munition. Some military units which have in their depot highly damgerous explosive matter continue to be guarded only by voluntary armed forces.
The supply of the population with most necessary articles of daily usage such as bread, food items, water and electricity is generally normal.
In its today's meeting, the Tirana District Council analysed the existing situation and defined some urgent measures to be adopted f or the further improvement of the situation. kled/xh/Z
TIRANA EXPERIENCE TO BE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRYTIRANA, MARCH 29 (ATA)-By A.Baci, Prime Minister Fino conducted a meeting today with the Municipal Council of Tirana and considered the restoration of order in the capital an example of understanding and cooperation the National Reconciliation Agreement wants to realise.
"Tirana's experience should be spread all over Albania, Fino said at the meeting.
He stressed that under the current conditions Albania is in, it is important that the state power holds an open and constructive dialogue with all the political forces, associations, committees or various citizen representatives created during the days of people's protests.
"The restoration of order is the essence of their preoccupation. It is not bad for these committees to suggest different solutions to the concrete situation," Fino said. eva/lm/Z/
FIVE WOUNDED BY GUNFIRE IN GRAMSHGRAMSH, MARCH 29 (ATA)- By P.Zekthi, Five people were wounded by gunfire this morning in the Gramsh district, middle Albania, according to police commissariat sources in this district.
Shooting continues in Gramsh by persons who seized weapons in an army depot in the Cekrez village of this town yesterday.
Meanwhile, an official of the Elbasan Prefecture reports on a long gun battle in the Tunje commune between the local inhabitants and an unidentified group, which has come to this commune with the aim to loot.
There are no reports of victims so far. eva/lm/Z/
STATEMENT OF GOVERNMENT OF REPUBLIC OF ALBANIATIRANA, MARCH 29 (ATA)- A statement issued by the Government of the Republic of Albania says that:
"Albania welcomes the resolution 1101 (1997), approved yesterday evening by the U.N. Security Council, which authorises the sending of a multinational defence force in support of the humanitarian activities in our country.
We express our gratitude to the Security Council, to all its member states, for approving without delay of this important decision.
We hail the affirmation of the Security Council, through the resolution, of the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Albania. At the same time we appreciate the appeal of the Security Council to all the Albanians to immediately give up all acts of violence.
The resolution, the statement says, marks a further step of specific importance in the efforts to cope with the current situation in our country. It eliminates any international legal obstacle to sending a multinational defence force.
The objective of the force is to facilitate the safe and fast distribution of the humanitarian aid and create a safe environment for the missions of the international organisations in Albania.
Now we will start working with the states expressing readiness for participation in the multinational force to draft the respective agreements, which will then be submitted for ratification in our parliament and those of the respective states.
The Albanian government expresses its gratitude to 20 states for co-sponsoring the resolution alongside our country. It, especially, thanks the states which have shown readiness to participate in the multinational force.
Albania is ready to cooperate with the multinational defence force to enable the full realisation of the mandate of this force, a mandate which stems from the resolution 1101 of the Security Council.
The Albanian government, the statement concludes, expresses the conviction that all the political forces in Albania and the legitimate power will make all efforts to facilitate the accomplishment of the mandate". s.sh/jz/lm/Z/
ALBANIAN SHIP WRECKED ON BRINDISI COASTTIRANA, MARCH 29 (ATA)- An Albanian ship sank yesterday 30 miles off the Brindisi coast and 700 metres deep, in an effort to land on the Italian coast.
Sources confirm so far that at least four people have died and some tens of others are missing.
While unconfirmed sources from Brindisi say that some tens of citizens might have been on board the Albanian ship.
The Albanian ship was capsized due to a collision with an Italian warship. According to some specialists of the Albanian navy all possibilities existed to avoid the sinking of the ship. jz/lm/Z
NATIONAL RECONCILIATION GOVERNMENT SENDS CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILES OF THE VICTIMS IN THE ADRIATICTIRANE,MARCH 29 (ATA) - The National Reconciliation Government expressed its profound condolences to the families of the last night's victims at sea," says a special declaration of the Albanian government regarding yesteday's grave accident when an Albanian ship capsized 30 km from the Brindis coast.
On the basis of the information it has so far, the Albanian Government is of the opinion that the tragical event which might have cost the lives of scores of Albanian citizens, could have been avoided.
The Albanian Government has highlighted the readiness of the Italian authorities to help facilitate the Albanian crisis and especially with regard to the question of refugees, stressing the elements of the humanitarian aid in the operations of the Italian forces.
But the Albanian Government voices its grief over the tragical event that occurred yesterday. The National Reconciliation Governmment considers the effort of the Italian military forces as an act which runs counter to the draft of the agreement between the two govenments, according to which no acts had to be taken at sea by the Italian party until the respective protocol between respective defence ministries was signed. The Albanian Government has in no case considered as serious, although it has seriously expressed its regret, the irresponsible declarations of some renowned former politicians of the talian institutions, according to which "Albanians must be drowned in the sea."
The Albanian Government holds that immediate inquiry should start to make clear the tragical event during which some Albanian citizens lost their lives an d asks from the Italian Governnment to adopt all the measures to protect the lives of Albanian citizens. ake/jz/xh/Z
STATEMENT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF ALBANIATIRANA, MARCH 29 (ATA)-By considering that top leaders of the Socialist Party and some other parties as well have made official, yesterday, March 28, 1997, their alliance with the committees of rebels in some districts of the south, committees led by discredited individuals which have broken banks and organised burglary, and which have tried to organise the South Federation on March 19, and have signed an accord with demands that constitute in themselves a constitutional coup, as it proclaims illegal the parliament institution, that of the president and of the Local government.
The Democratic Party powerfully denounces this accord that confirms the previous denouncements made by us for an early involvement of some former communist leaders in the armed insurrection against the legal state.
The Democratic Party stresses that this accord fully violates the national reconciliation agreement reached between all the political parties and the President of the Republic, agreement signed also by the Socialist Party. This agreement was welcomed and supported by all the Albanian people and by all the international community as the only way to come out of this difficult situation. The restoration of the constitution and public order as well as the parliamentary elections in June 1997, are the main duties of the National Reconciliation Government, whose fulfillment avoids conflict and bloodshed.
The Democratic Party gave its vote of confidence to this government in the parliament and has supported it without reservation, by thus contributing to the fulfilment of the March 9 agreement.
Likewise the Democratic Party expresses its full support for the constitutional institution of the President of the Republic0, the Albanian parliament and the local power bodies.
The Democratic Party
-asks the Socialist Party to denounce its accord with the rebel bands which aim at toppling the constitutional order and taking power through violence.
-asks the Socialist Party to express itself against taking of power through the force of arms.
-asks the Socialist Party to respect the constitutional institutions, to denounce the illegal committees and their gangs.
-On the contrary the Democratic Party will take all the necessary political and legal measures.
Yesterday's accord between the socialists and the armed rebel bands throws on the Socialist Party all the consequences for the sabotage of the National Reconciliation agreement on the basis of which the actual government emerged, and also all other consequences that derive from this./Z/
DECLARATION ON THE STAND OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF GERMANY TOWARDS ALBANIATIRANE, MARCH 29 (ATA) - The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany makes public the following declaration on the stand of the Federal Government of Germany towards Albania:
"Albania is experiencing the graviest crisis since the toppling of communism. In many parts of the country, public security is not guaranteed in the present moments. The provisional government of the Premier Bashkim Fino is manifesting determination in its efforts to restore order in the country.
Germany, together with the OSCE and the European Union, will support these efforts of the Albanian government and will further cooperate orientated towards the future of Albania. Additionally, the European Union has decided to send humanitarian aid and missions of advisers under the protection of a multinational force.
But Albania itself, has, first of all, the resposibility to overcome the present. The creation of the National Reconciliation Govenment as a provisional government, the political dialogue intitiated by it and the report on fresh elections are steps made on a right road. The dialogue between the government, the political parties and all other important political forces in the political institutions envisaged for this dialogue should be carried on. In particular, all the parties participating in the government coalition, and which have seats in the parliament, must take their seats in the present difficult situation, and support the work of the government until the new elections. Germany also holds that the government and the parties should be responsible during the overcoming of the crisis, to take into account the principles of democracy and the rule of law.
A free press and an information made available to the population of Albania without obstacles in the present situation are of a special importance.
"We," says the declaration further on, "regret that the parliament was not in a position to accept the draft laws to lift the censorship and other measures of the state of emergency. A removal of the measures, which prevent the political dialogue and the normalization of the life in Albania would contribute to lower political tensions.
We hope that the government and the parties would work more together in the interest of Albania and for a resolution to its problems.
Germany, says the declaration in conclusion, denounces the attacks against representatives of Albanian press, which have also been repeated recently. Such kinds of acts must not be allowed." Z/xh/
PEOPLE'S ASSEMBLY OF ALBANIA TO CONVENE IN PLENARY SITTING ON MARCH 30TIRANE, MARCH 29 (ATA) - The People's Assembly will hold a plenary sitting on Mrch 30, 1997 at 11 a.m. to pass the law on the arrival of a miltinational police force in Albanian, invited by the President of the Republic and the National Reconciliation Government and accepted by the U.N. Security Council.
In addition, this session will also discuss a declaration of the insurgent armed committees which, together with some parties' representatives, which have signed the agreement for national reconciliation, are supporting constitutional putsches against the parliament and other legitimate institutions. ake/xh
PREMIER FINO CONDOLES WITH THE FAMILIES OF THE SEA TRAGEDY VICTIMSTIRANE, MARCH 29 (ATA) - In a press release today Albanian Premier Bashkim Fino voiced his deep grief over the naval tragedy on Friday evening, the Premier's press and public relations department reports today.
Mr Fino declared that the Albanian Goverment is committed to make the issue clear and it is having contacts with the Italian Government on the question. He voiced the belief that the Italian authorities would clarify to the end the causes of this human tragedy. Albanian Premier also said that "this tragical event does convince more the Government of National Reconciliation he is leading, to work hard that the situation at home get calm and political-economic stability be restored in order that such tragedies be not repeated in the future.
Stressing this commitment, he voiced the conviction that the sea tragedy last Friday would not question the good and close Albanian-Italian relations and the coming bilateral cooperation for the overcome of the grave situation in Albania.
On this occasion, Premier Bashkim Fino expressed his pleasure on the decision of the U.N Security Council to send an international military force to protect and deliver the aid in Albania and to help normalize the situation in the country. He underlined that the international military force will be a basic element in the efforts the Albanians are making to overcome the deep crisis which is ruining the country.
Premier Fino declared on this occasion that Albania is predisposed to cooperate closely with the multinational defence force to enable the full realisation of the mandate of this force. As is made known, the U.N. Security Council approved on Friday the Resolution 1101 on the dispatch, for a three-month period of time, to Albania of a defensive multinational force to support the humanitarian operations in Albania. jz/xh/Z
PRONOUNCEMENT OF PJETER ARBNORI ON TRAGIC EVENT IN THE ADRIATICTIRANA, MARCH 29 (ATA)-Speaking of last night's tragic event in the Southern Adriatic, Speaker of Albanian Parliament Pjeter Arbnori told the Albanian Television that:
"There has been an agreement to patrol the sea and this is quite normal. The Albanian ship could be escorted as it was with civilians, children, women and later the Italian authorities could take their own measures, as it has done. They keep or return them when they consider it reasonable. But, in no way in the middle of the sea. No action should have been taken against the civilians, a thing which produced this painful result.
It is advisable for the people not to undertake such dangerous trips, which cost their life. But, on the other hand, Italy is a big, developed, civilised state and in these difficult days, it surely will find the way to help these unlucky civilians, just like we, a small country, did with the ill-fated Italian soldiers at the time of war." a.ke/jz/lm/Z
"EVERYTHING POSSIBLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT" - Commander of Albanian Naval Defence ForcesTIRANE, MARCH 29 (ATA) - The event of Friday evening was a great catastrophe of the exodus of the Albanian people, today said on a TV interview the commander of the Albanian Naval Defence Forces, Vladimir Beja. According to commander Beja, the ship which carried the Albanias on board on Friday, was small, used only for portal operations and with a capacity of about 30 tons. It should in no case and in no circusmtance be used to transport people," said Beja.
Regarding the technical aspect of the ship, commander Beja said that the ship was relatevly in a good state, although it was not controlled directly. According to Mr Beja, that kind of ship could transport no more than 20 people. Asked by TV reporter if there was any possibility to rescue it, Beja said that everything possible should have been made to avoid the grave accident. There is always a way of salvation," said Mr Beja in the end of his interview. jz/xh

"Mom, can I update the calendar rules book now?" Conor calls out in his sing-song while he bounces the big purple ball behind the pet gate set up to keep the dog contained in the kitchen. Slam, slam, slam, slam. The ball slams against the wooden floor. Against the wall. Against the pictures hanging there.
"Sure, Conor, go get it out of your backpack and bring it here." I start shoveling the remainder of sausage and peppers into my mouth as quickly as possible. (Thank God my husband made dinner.)
He sits at the kitchen table next to me, the purple bouncy-ball bought at Target in a moment of weakness resting quietly (at last) in the hall.
"Here is the calendar rule book, Mom! I want to update Friday, July 20th to Clayworks instead of Michaels!" He says emphatically, and points to July 20th on the calendar.
Me: Sigh. "Conor, it's not that simple. I can't just schedule in some random time to go make your own pottery, honey. I have to figure it out first. I've emailed the lady. She hasn't gotten back to me."
Sure, they have an 8 week class--Basic Wheel: The Learning Curve!--but that's not really going to work for us. We need 1:1 instruction, small classes, no little kids running around, staff that knows what to expect (although I will certainly take a therapist with us).
Conor: "You can't go on Friday, July 20th." His face falls.
Dad (scrubbing pots and pans at the sink. He cooks AND cleans.): "No, Conor, it's more difficult than paint-your-own-pottery. To make the pottery, you have to schedule time to work with the clay, then the pottery wheel, then the kiln. It's complicated."
Conor turns the page in the calendar rule book. "Here! You can go make pottery at Clayworks on August 24th!" He points and looks up expectantly.
Me, exasperated. (He's been asking for weeks): "Conor, I can't tell you what day it's going to happen right now. I left a message for the lady. We can talk to Mrs. Howcher about it tomorrow during art therapy. Ok?"
Conor: "When can Conor go to Clayworks and make pottery? What day?"
Me, deep breath, trying to keep my cool: "I don't know, honey. The lady has to get back to me."
Conor: "When will the lady get back to me?" (He means "get back to you".)
Me, resigned: "I don't know, sweetie. Maybe tomorrow." I give up. It's such a simple but, at the same time, deceptively complicated concept. Yes, you can do this but no, we can't tell you when. At least, not just yet. Stupid communication disorder.
Conor: "Tomorrow, we'll schedule a day on July 20th to go make pottery! I'll high-five that!" He raises his hand. Looks expectantly.
Me, sighing again: "No, honey, we won't go make pottery on Friday. We'll have to figure it out."
I swear, Van Gogh probably cut off his ear because his mom wouldn't schedule time at the local art studio.

Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy signed the legislation ratcheting up the state's $8.85 minimum wage earlier this year, and on Monday the rate climbed to $10.
"Today marks a monumental step on our path to a stronger and fairer New Jersey," he said. "Our economy grows when everyone can participate in it - every hardworking New Jerseyan deserves a fair wage that allow them to put food on the table and gas in their car. Together, we are making New Jersey more affordable and giving over a million New Jerseyans a pathway to the middle class."
After this increase, the statewide minimum wage will continue to increase by $1 per hour every January 1 until it reaches $15 per hour on January 1, 2024.
For seasonal workers and employees at small businesses with five or fewer workers, there is no change in the rate -- which will remain at $8.85 until it climbs to $10.30 on January 1.
WATCH: NJ officials hail the $10/hour minimum wage, look ahead to $15
The base minimum wage for them will reach $15 per hour by January 1, 2026.
By January 1, 2028, workers in these groups will receive the minimum wage inclusive of inflation adjustments that take place from 2024 to 2028, equalizing the minimum wage with the main cohort of New Jersey workers.
For agricultural workers, the base minimum wage will increase to $12.50 per hour by January 1, 2024, and no later than March 31, 2024, the New Jersey Labor Commissioner and Secretary of Agriculture will jointly decide whether to recommend that the minimum wage for agricultural workers increase to $15 per hour by January 1, 2027, as specified in the bill.
If they cannot come to an agreement, a third member, appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the Senate, will break the tie. If there is a recommendation to disapprove of the scheduled increases or suggest an alternative pathway, the Legislature will have the ability to implement that recommendation by passage of a concurrent resolution.
The minimum wage for tipped workers climbed 50 cents to $2.63 on Monday.

Question: Can dogs eat chicken? Or is poultry best kept off your dog’s diet? The short answer would be yes, it’s generally safe for dogs to eat chicken, but not chicken bones. Also, when feeding your dog chicken it’s best to cook the chicken before feeding as raw chicken poses potentially dangerous health risks to our four-legged friends.
Can Dogs Eat Chicken Bones?
It might seem like a perfectly natural thing for your dog to wolf down a chicken bone, but it can actually be dangerous for dogs to eat chicken bones, so it’s best if you would not give your dog any chicken bones.
Most of you already know this, but poultry bones are prone to splintering when crushed (like if your dog bites down on it). This is extremely dangerous, because bone shards can end up lodging in the mouth, esophagus, and stomach, which is extremely painful and can be fatal. Thus, you should never give your dog chicken or turkey bones, especially if they are cooked as cooked bones are even more likely to splinter.
Can Dogs Eat Raw Chicken?
- Many strains of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica – can cause dangerous zoonotic (transmissible between animals and humans) diseases. These include Salmonella Enteriditis, which is a common strain in North America; Salmonella Hadar; Salmonella Heidelber; and Salmonella Infantis, which is extremely widespread in Europe.
- Other than Salmonella, some other dangerous organisms associated with chicken meat are Campylobacter jejuni, Listeria monocytogenes, and certain strains of Escherichia coli.
- When handling poultry or other raw meat, make sure your hands and all the equipment used is clean.
- Always keep raw meats separate from other foods.
- Cook the meat to a safe minimum eternal temperature (165 degrees Fahrenheit for poultry).
Always refrigerate meat products within 2 hours of cooking.
Can Dogs Eat Cooked Chicken?
Now, you all must be thinking about safety issues in cooked chicken. As a general rule, cooked chicken can be a safe and delicious treat for dogs.
One would think the problem with cooked meat would be the calorie count, but unless you’re giving your dog an entire piece of chicken, like a roasted or fried breast, it’s not a bad snack.
One thing to keep mind, though, is that dogs should not be fed excessively salty food, so heavily seasoned chicken is not a suitable treat for your pooch.
Because of the excessive calories, it’s also best to keep thing like chicken nuggets off your dog’s menu.
Occasionally giving your doggy a few pieces of plain cooked chicken, however, is safe.
Conclusion on Can Dogs Eat Chicken
What to keep in mind is to NEVER feed your dog poultry bones and be very careful with raw meat – follow the FDA’s safe food handling guidelines for raw chicken. If you want to give your pup cooked chicken, then do that sparingly and avoid heavily seasoned chicken products. | <urn:uuid:f41d071f-2170-4940-83a7-729adb53a4f6> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://allpetmagazine.com/can-dogs-eat-chicken/ | 2019-07-17T05:29:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.905829 | 647 |
The Regional Community Action Board (CAB) was formed in 2000 in the realization that if the Center was going to serve the needs of border communities, then border communities needed to give guidance to the AZPRC. Initial Board members were individuals and agencies involved in various projects with AZPRC staff and faculty. Since that time, CAB members have invited new partners in order to better address the AZPRC’s mission. Over the past three years, the CAB has taken a more central role in guiding AZPRC activities.
Mission of the Community Action Board (CAB)
To champion for optimal health and wellbeing in our diverse communities of the US/Mexico border region.
The CAB has an important advisory role within the AZPRC. CAB members provide guidance, not only to the core research project, but to all other CRCPHP activities including evaluation, training, communication, and project translation/outreach. Based on its mission, the CAB also has a role in promoting health along the US-Mexico Border region on a policy level. Membership is open to all organizations and individuals who express interest in health issues along the border including but not limited to: respresentatives from four border counties, Tohono O'odham Nation, Pasqua Yaqui Nation, Cocopah Nation, the Arizona Department of Health Services and local health departments, US representatives from the US Border Health Commission, and members from local Special Action Groups, which are community coalitions.
Roles and Responsibilities of the CAB
- Research: Participate in community based participatory research through involvement in all phases of the research model including prioritization of current and future research topic, research design, data collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination.
- Program Development: Assist with the identification and securing of resources to fund the research priorities, to include team development of grant applications and partnering to share in-kind resources.
- Program Implementation and Evaluation: Advise the AZPRC on program implementation, to include assessment of progress, evaluation of outcomes, identification of challenges, and development of corrective actions.
- Program Dissemination: Assist the AZPRC with efforts to share results with the broader PRC and public health community through meeting presentations, publications and electronic format.
- PRC Support: The AZPRC is committed to identifying resources for travel to CAB meetings and representation at National Community Committee. | <urn:uuid:c789a441-04cd-46b9-8074-9d954b8da3d7> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://azprc.arizona.edu/about-prc/community-action-board | 2019-07-17T05:06:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.944 | 493 |
The Port of Seattle owns a stretch of land that was once private residences. It’s referred to Pier 117, but there is no pier and the small green space they created was mainly for a large rain garden to keep street runoff out of the Duwamish River. The black and white image, in the foreground, was where two, ramshackle, abandoned houses were located. I have a photo of them somewhere in my archives. They ( the Port) left the two cement pads that the houses were sitting on, for some reason. There is a walking path the length of this ‘park’.
Across the river is I think an abandoned factory, perhaps the old Kenworth plant. Not totally sure. Again, this is the oldest EPA Superfund site in the US.
Across the street from the park is Coffee Umbria, a coffee roaster, etc. Apparently razor wire is needed to protect the business. This particular section of South Park is pretty sketchy, so I understand. I am always on guard and don’t stay in the area very long when I shoot there.
Recently spent a little time around the Duwamish River in South Park, Seattle. This day the river was really high due to runoff in the mountains. The barge looked like an ocean going type, although I’m no barge expert. There are a couple of more steps, in the image, that are usually visible even during high tide.
Note: I used an old, Vivitar wide angle lens on the barge photo.
Aug. 1955. Me fishing on the Duwamsh River.
I’ve been exploring the South Park area of Seattle on Sundays for 10+ years. It’s a unique mix of light industry and residential that hugs the Duwamish River on the East and the hills, that lead to White Center, on the West. It’s a gritty step back in time. Slowly most of the scrap metal businesses have been shut down, closed or the land sold. In time this area will probably look like many other gentrified neighborhoods, but it will be a slower transition here so it is fun to explore and document what is there now.
When I was four years old I actually lived in South Park for about a year before my parents moved. We lived very close to the river. I have a photo of myself at that age ‘fishing’ on the Duwamish River near our apartment. I think I have posted it, but if not I can do that. One of the few photos of me from my childhood ( see above -I found the image). For some reason I keep coming back to this area of Seattle.
After getting past a No Trespassing sign and fence I was able to get a closer look at this closed pedestrian pier and dock. In the background of one of the images you can see the West Seattle high-rise bridge. This bridge was a replacement for a drawbridge that was hit by a ship back in the 1980’s, I believe.
Rippling water wake of large barge. What appeared to me as abandoned piers. One of them was a pedestrian pier that is now barricaded. To access the abandoned piers I had to ‘overlook’ a No Trespassing sign :-). Trespassing is pretty common to get into abandoned places or ones of high risk. My next post will take a closer look at the abandoned pier in the “No Trespassing” Zone. | <urn:uuid:dfa5bd76-317d-45a4-b012-d743d2e5f979> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://bluestar2012.com/tag/duwamish-river/ | 2019-07-17T04:53:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.972137 | 730 |
Firstly I wish to thank Sarah Hardy of Bloodhound Books for inviting me on this Blog Tour for Carpenter Road by N.M. Brown
When a young woman swaps coats with a prostitute then vanishes, it marks the start of a mystifying case for Leighton Jones.
After traffic officer Leighton is called to an altercation in a used car lot he is confronted by a prostitute rambling on about a girl who stole her coat. He thinks nothing off it. That is until the body of a Jane Doe shows up, matching the prostitute’s description.
What is the link between the fight in the car lot and the dead woman?
Leighton proceeds to gather evidence, which he attempts to pass onto the lead Homicide detective, Slater. However, Slater tells Leighton to back off, and that a suspect has been arrested.
Fearing there is more to the case than he first thought, Leighton is driven to keep digging and soon ends up on the trail of a serial killer.
But Leighton might be out of his depth this time…
HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW
I loved this author’s first novel, The Girl on the Bus and so I was delighted to find out that Leighton Jones was back in action. In fact way back by ten years to the time when he was a traffic cop and still employed by the police department. So I thought can this possibly live up to the first book, which was a belter and well it definitely did that. This one made me cry!
Jones is one of the real good guys who just digs a little more deeper and cares a little too much. So when a hooker, that most cops wouldn’t give the time of day to, really kicks up a fuss about a young woman from a restaurant that she believes stole her coat, he listens. This leads to a murdered Jane Doe where a serial killer is already leaving his stamp of ownership on other girls that ‘decent people’ wouldn’t notice or care about going missing.
What a cracking fast paced story this is but what I also like is the everyday life stuff that is still running in the background for these characters. Oh boy if I could give Oscars out for the most unlikable pair of detectives going I know where the award would go. A couple of them just get under your skin. I also loved that the story centred round a small group of people, when a story is so bloody good you just don’t need the fluffed up extras. This is pure entertainment from the start to the end page. A super finale which totally got to me! Sheer brilliance.
HERE IS A LITTLE ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Norman has enjoyed writing for more than two decades. He has always believed a combination of decent fiction and good coffee provides the best way to unwind and slip out of ordinary life for a while.
Having grown up Central Scotland, he studied English at Stirling University, where he began penning poetry, drama scripts and short stories. However, his real commitment to writing resulted from spending a snowy winter attending a series of fireside writing workshops in Perth.
More recently, Norman’s love of crime fiction led him to create the weary detective Leighton Jones. Having based his debut novel – The Girl on the Bus -around this character, Norman felt so intrigued by him that he decided to give Jonesy at least two more outings. Carpenter Road is the second novel to feature this protagonist.
Aside from his family, and travelling, Norman’s other passion is cooking, which may explain why many culinary elements always seem to creep out of his kitchen and into his fiction. | <urn:uuid:bc621ebc-068c-4310-b364-c40f9b6236fa> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://booksfromdusktilldawn.blog/2018/06/09/carpenter-road-by-n-m-brown-normthewriter-bloodhoundbook-netgalley-kindleunlimited-carpenterroad-leightonjones-blogtour/ | 2019-07-17T04:45:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.970558 | 758 |

What Brooklyn Decker’s Husband Thinks About Her New Short Hair
Earlier this week, Brooklyn Decker chopped off her living-Barbie-doll mane, hopping on the bob haircut trend that we estimate has overtaken at least half of Hollywood.
A photo posted by Brooklyn Decker (@brooklynddecker) on Jan 20, 2015 at 7:36am PST
At an event last night, she opened up to Glamour‘s Jessica Radloff about the new look, including sharing her husband Andy Roddick’s reaction to it.
“I just wanted a change,” she explains about the cut, noting that she’s chopped and grown out her hair before as a way to mix things up. “Andy tells me I’m going to dye it pink, or orange or blue. He knows I love doing crazy things with my hair, so he’s like, Whatever you want to do, do it.'”
Our kinda man right there. Brooklyn also shared why she’s already loving having shorter hair. “It’s so much easier to style because it doesn’t take four hours to air-dry anymore. You just let it air-dry, and throw a bunch of product in it,” she says. “But tonight’s look [shown above]? This was an hour and a half of a professional doing my hair. I could not re-create this! But I could create a messy flop, which is fine by me. I’ll take that!”
How do you think your guy would react if you chopped your hair shorter? How about if you dyed it a wild color (a la Nicole Richie, who just went hot pink, BTW)? | <urn:uuid:8d9921a2-167c-44fd-9ba3-9f13495a857b> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://francisdoughty.com/beauty/what-brooklyn-deckers-husband-thinks-about-her-new-short-hair/ | 2019-07-17T05:22:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.950323 | 374 |
FQL in MAM
You can use the Ooyala Flex Query Language (FQL) to carry out complex searches in MAM. The MAM search bar recommends query parameters which can be used to either narrow or widen a search.
Example: If you type tag, a list of query parameters containing that phrase is displayed below the search bar. In the example below, you can see that the suggestions are related to searching for tags.
To select a suggestion from the drop down, follow these steps:
- Start typing a phrase. When you see the suggestion you wish to use click on it,
or press Enter.
The suggestion is displayed in the search box.
- Enter a value to complete the query. For example, you could search for assets
that are associated with a tag called "cars".
- Click Enter or to run the search.
As you build your query, the search bar suggests operators that can be used to refine your queries. For example, if you type =, a list of related operators such as >, <. =, >=, <= is displayed.
If the syntax you have entered contains an error, the error is highlighted in red:
FQL allows you to carry out searches using a combination of different operators and parameters. You can combine a number of different operators and query parameters to create search queries.
- Search for an asset by specifying an account ID:
- "Account ID"=12345
- Search for assets of a particular file format:
- "Asset Context Format Context Format"=MP4

Trump Getting Job Done
Palmer and Sandy, I read that you were offended by the patriotic display of Trump flags at the beautiful marinas during I assume was the White Marlin Open. Those expensive yachts owned by those rich guys and women you referred to bring a lot of revenue to the local merchants the State of Maryland, Worcester County and Ocean City. Is it possible you would see an increase in your taxes if it were not for this rich guys and women yachts and all the people these events draw to the local economy? Again I am sorry to read that it was difficult for you to digest your food, but there was a simple solution to that problem, go inside the restaurant where you could not observe the Trump flags and the guys and women on the expensive yachts or leave and go to a restaurant that was not on the water.
You commented about never seeing such a display of nationalistic support for a self-serving, corrupt, divisive, bully like Trump. President Trump is a little rough and tough and not your typical kiss ass politically correct politician. He is a business man and in business you have to make some tough decisions that are not favorable to a few and sometimes many.
Trump’s tactics on immigration is right on target. How many un-desirable people came into our country from the last administration? How many innocent people have been killed from our previous loose immigration policy? As for the seasonal workers, I have not run into any who said they feared the Trump flag. Many years ago, Ocean City businesses didn’t have a labor shortage, not until mom and dad started giving their children the BMW, Mercedes, etc. new car, credit card and lots of dollars and they figured they didn’t need to work, so let’s have a grand old time in OC for three months instead of working. Hey, what a deal. As a business man, I always am able to find a work around solution to a problem, and I know our intelligent merchants will find a solution.
Again, you state the 1-percenters who own these expensive yachts and their display of support for Trump. All I can say is “Yeah,” we finally have something to be proud about. When I see these beautiful yachts, I am sort of jealous that I can’t afford one, but at the same time I am happy for those guys and women who have worked hard to buy or partner in such a beautiful yacht, and all the good fun times they have.
FYI, the tax cut was made very early in Trumps tenure and with all the other bills passed has put many unemployed people back into the work force that once thought were jobs that would never return under the far left administration, such as coal and steel workers to name a few. But as usual we still have the people who know how to beat the system and want their free “stuff” that was given freely by the past president and his far left agenda.
You keep harping about the displaying of Trump flags. If you would have walked down some of the piers where the expensive yachts were, you would have noticed some also had American flags flying. How about the eight years we had to witness car stickers, TV and news media about an illegal empty chair president, that did nothing but fly everywhere, play golf, bow to foreign dignitaries with an administration of undesirable and crooked men and women? One woman in particular who ran for president and is a product of a far left administration, you know crocked HC, and a president who didn’t respect the military and didn’t believe in saluting the flag and the men and women in uniform. Also with a wife who commented what’s all this fuss over a flag. What a bunch of hoods we had for eight long years with an administration that almost ruined this great country, America. Thank you God for a breath of fresh air from President Trump.
My final thoughts: What I see is the far left has become the enemy of the people, the constitution and our religious freedom, supporting radical groups even violent gangs, which has been part of this suicidal plan to destroy our great nation. “Was this the intent of the past administration”?
Take a look at the facts, our country is running in the right direction for the first time in decades and the left is screaming louder and louder doom and gloom yet Trump continues to win and win. Trump was not put in office to look pretty and conform to the norm of past presidents, he is here to get the job done and that is to save this great Republic, “America”.
I have and wear proudly a hat “Make America Great Again”.
Right On About Flags
Thank you Palmer and Sandy Gillis who wrote such an eloquent and well thought out rebuttal on the Trump flags at the marina in West Ocean City.
I was at Sunset Grille and saw first hand those yachts with their flags. I felt so much anger that there were so many who could support a man such as Trump.
As a resident, if any when I return to Sunset Grille, I will only think of those flags and not that awesome marina.
I read last week’s letter from Palmer and Sandy Gillis and it left me feeling uncomfortable.
Imagine the difficulty in digesting your food when you’re surrounded by rich people’s yachts. These weren’t just your average rich people’s yachts flying Trump flags. The word “rich” also makes me uncomfortable. Can we agree that in the future we just refer to it as a “r” word?
If that’s not bad enough, a restaurant employee may have spit in your cobb salad in order to make a political statement. What is wrong with this establishment that it provide a “safe space” for you to hide from the world? Give me a break.
I’m going to my “safe space” now. It’s happy hour and the beers are ice cold.

Club Makes A Difference
The Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines-Ocean City is fast approaching the end of their successful program year. The club was able to continue to meet the successes of past years. The new program year begins Oct. 1, 2018 and runs through Sept. 30, 2019. The Kiwanis mission is “Serving the Children of the World”. This club is doing that and will continue this next year.
The club has been sending scholarship checks to the colleges for the 12 young people who we are assisting this year. The total awards are $14,000. It’s rewarding to read some of the letters of thanks from the students or their parents. The Kiwanis Club is making a difference. It also makes a difference with younger children, as well.
This current year the club has provided $10,600 to youth activities in our area. This includes six clubs that are sponsored in local elementary, intermediate, and high schools and the new Aktion Club for those with disabilities at the Worcester County Developmental Center.
Support is also given to the local 4Steps Therapeutic Program, Cedar Chapel School, Worcester GOLD Infants Pantry and their Christmas program for children through a club’s Toy Drive. Also sponsored is a young girls’ basketball team through Ocean City Parks and Recreation. The club also contributes to Ocean Pines Association camp scholarships, the Cricket Center, the Kiwanis Key Leadership Program, a toy drive, food drives, Ocean City “Play It Safe” Program, and Project Eliminate of Kiwanis International to eliminate maternal and neo-natal tetanus.
Perhaps more important than money, the club donated hundreds of volunteer hours to school art fairs, science fairs, and direct assistance to our sponsored school Kiwanis youth service clubs.
The Kiwanis Club has also played a supporting role in the community, contributing $2,050 to community support organizations, the OPVFD, the OPA Concerts in the Park, OP Veterans Memorial, a coat drive, and Diakonia, plus hundreds of volunteer hours towards Nursing Home Bingo, dolls for patients, the Blood Drives, our house address signs and others.
So, how does all of this get done? Through volunteer hours and hard work on fundraisers. All of this is paid for by hard work on pancake breakfasts, the Italian dinner, hot dog sales, the wine tasting event, the Duck Race and weekly donations from members to Priority One.
Of course, it’s not all hard work. There is the satisfaction of working together to get these results, the weekly meeting, and occasional social events.
So here comes 2018-2019. The local children and the community need the Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines-Ocean City to be successful again. “Kids need Kiwanis and Kiwanis Needs You.” Friends and neighbors of members are needed to both support the club and its fundraisers, but more important, to participate as members of the Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines-Ocean City to insure the ability to continue to meet all these needs. New members bring their new ideas and participation in the club’s mission. While the club needs our existing members for what they are able to do, but more importantly their knowledge of our ongoing programs, new members are essential to the continuation of the Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines-Ocean City. Consider joining with the Kiwanis team to continue these services for the 2018-2019 program year. Thank you.

Not Buying Goose Deal
I was in attendance at the first meeting of the “Goose Group” at the Ocean Pines library on Aug. 16. Mr. Bailey gave a presentation on water quality, which I found very interesting. The water quality test done in August turned out to be a complete failure, despite the fact that all of those geese had been dead and gone since June 29.
If geese were the actual culprit, any reasonable person would come to the conclusion that the water quality should have improved with 290 fewer geese pooping in the pond but it didn’t, not even a tiny little bit.
Anyone concerned with real health hazards only needs to take a walk around the South Gate Pond to see all the poison ivy growing there. It grows up the trees and even into the pathway itself. Some of it looks like it’s been there for years. I suppose Canada geese are all somehow responsible for that too.
Stop grasping at straws and blaming the geese for everything. If you continue to ignore the obvious health hazards and just focus on the perceived problems, everyone on the Eastern Shore is going to think “you” are full of goose poop. Ocean Pines is already the laughing stock of Worcester County and as a resident of this community, I find it to be extremely embarrassing. | <urn:uuid:1989741a-37af-48ff-9c10-657379708b55> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://mdcoastdispatch.com/2018/09/06/voices-from-the-readers-september-7-2018/ | 2019-07-17T04:37:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.961227 | 2,652 |
Majestic Giant Planet is a Swirl of Colorful Clouds
Named after the Roman king of the gods, the immense planet Jupiter is undoubtedly king of the solar system. Containing more mass than all the other planets combined, Jupiter's immense gravitational field deflects wayward comets that otherwise might slam into Earth, wreaking havoc.
This dazzling Hubble Space Telescope photo of Jupiter was taken when it was comparatively close to Earth, at a distance of 415 million miles. Hubble reveals the intricate, detailed beauty of Jupiter's clouds as arranged into bands of different latitudes, known as tropical regions. These bands are produced by air flowing in different directions at various latitudes. Lighter colored areas, called zones, are high-pressure where the atmosphere rises. Darker low-pressure regions where air falls are called belts. The planet's trademark, the Great Red Spot, is a long-lived storm roughly the diameter of Earth. Much smaller storms appear as white or brown-colored ovals. Such storms can last as little as a few hours or stretch on for centuries. | <urn:uuid:11775121-db37-4d05-8693-196056b11183> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://p4-r5-01081.page4.com/_blog/2017/04/07/7943-Astronomie---Hubble-nimmt-Nahaufnahme-von-Jupiter/ | 2019-07-17T05:20:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.932045 | 217 |
Recently it came to my attention that Chobani® Yogurt is running a #MadeWithChobani campaign, with food bloggers much like myself using Chobani’s products to come up with recipes. I looked over what others were posting and I immediately realized that almost no one was incorporating the yogurts into a savory dish. It was mainly parfaits, cheesecakes, shakes or adult beverages like piña coladas. So of course, with that being the case, I decided that I was going to challenge myself to make a savory entrée using their Greek yogurt… and being that it’s Greek yogurt, why not go Greek? Well, there’s nothing more Greek than lamb and mint, so I came up with a great recipe for Greek Lamb Meatballs, accompanied by crispy Parmesan & Herb Polenta, finished with a mint jus.
As a quick sidebar, before I get into the recipe portion of the show… I have to admit that I had never before had Chobani’s yogurts, and that frankly I’m not the biggest yogurt fan, Greek or otherwise. However, when I went to the store to pick up the plain yogurt for the recipe I decided to grab some of their other products to try out. It’s been a while since I’ve had yogurt so maybe my tastes have changed, or maybe Chobani is doing something better than what I’ve had in the past. So far I’ve tried their Oats with Apple & Cinnamon and their Flip with Clover Honey, and I was pleasantly surprised that I found them both to be delicious. I plan on trying some more of their yogurts, and I have a feeling that their products are going to become a staple in my family’s fridge. The timing is actually perfect being that I’m trying to drop a few pounds from some serious holiday gluttony, and at 100-200 calories they make for great meal replacements.
Alright, one more interruption before the recipe, last one I swear! If you’re not keen on the thought of polenta or a mint jus, these meatballs are also fantastic with tomato sauce. We had some leftover and I reheated them in sauce for our kids the next day, served over pasta, and it was fabulous. I just wanted to put that out there, I understand that not everyone is into things like “mint jus”.
Ok, onto the recipe!
2lb Ground Lamb
2tsp Ground Black Pepper
1tsp Crushed Red Pepper
1/2c Fresh Parsley, chopped
1/4c Mint, chopped
5 Cloves of Garlic, chopped
1c Panko, unseasoned
1c Ricotta Cheese
1/3c Grated Parmesan
2oz Chobani®Plain Greek Yogurt
3c Chicken Stock
1c Yellow Corn Meal
2 Cloves of Garlic, chopped
1/2c Fresh Parsley, chopped
1tsp Ground Black Pepper
1/2c Grated Parmesan
3tbsp Olive Oil
3oz Chobani®Plain Greek Yogurt
Ingredients (mint jus):
1 1/2c Beef Stock, low sodium if available
1 Clove of Garlic, chopped
1c Mint, chopped
1tbsp Brown Sugar
2tbsp Unsalted Butter
Ok, so the first thing you’re going to want to do is make the polenta because you’ll need to chill it before getting it crispy…
In a medium sauce pot bring the chicken stock to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and slowly add the corn meal, whisking continuously. If you add it all at once it’s just going to clump up and you’ll have a very difficult time making it smooth. Once all of the corn meal is incorporated and it’s whisking smoothly add the garlic, parsley, salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring periodically. Once done simmering turn off the heat and stir in the yogurt and parmesan. Pour the polenta into an oiled 9×5″ loaf pan and put in the freezer for 1 hour to chill. The reason for doing this is to firm it up enough to slice and sear.
Heat your oven to 375F.
In a large bowl combine all of the meatball ingredients. Using your hands roll the mixture into 2″ balls and place on a lightly greased baking sheet, you should get 16 meatballs. Bake for 30-35 minutes, the outsides should be lightly browned.
While the meatballs are baking it’s time to make the sauce and finish up the polenta.
In a small sauce pot combine the beef stock, garlic, mint and brown sugar. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until reduced by half. Once reduced, add the butter and then using a hand emulsifier, food processor or blender, blend the sauce. If you still have a fair amount of time before serving dinner simply keep it on heat over the lowest setting to keep warm, but it’s low enough to prevent further reduction.
Remove the polenta from the freezer. Invert the loaf pan over a cutting board to remove the polenta as a solid piece. If it does not come out when turned then gently separate along the edges using a knife or spatula. It should fall out when you turn it back over. Cut the polenta into 1″ wide slices along the long edge, you should get 8 slices. Heat the olive oil at medium-high in a large sauté pan. Place the slices of polenta in the pan, laying on their wider sides, and sear until browned, then flip and repeat.
And that’s everything… You have your meatballs, polenta and sauce. Plate it all up and απολαμβάνω (Google is telling me that’s “enjoy” in Greek, I’ll take their word for it… Feel free to correct me if it’s wrong. lol).
Now let’s talk wine pairings. You’re looking for a red, moderately full bodied, with slightly green notes to it. Think Greek Cabernets, Syrahs or Agiortiko. You could also hit a home run with a Chinon or Bourgueil from France, some cool little Alto Piemonte or Valle d’Aoste wines from northwestern Italy, Aglianico from southern Italy, or even Malbecs and blends from the Salta region of Argentina. Here are a few suggestion, including what I had with dinner (listed first).
Estate Hatzimichalis Cabernet Sauvignon 2007, Atalanti Valley, Greece – Atalani Valley is located in central Greece, bordered by mountain ranges to the north, west and south, and the Eubean Gulf to the east. Due to the combination of maritime influenced winds and cold mountaintop winds you’re left with a cool, dry region with a long growing season, which lends itself to elegantly developed and structured wines that have long ageability. The 2007 Cabernet from Hatzimichalis is just starting to come into it’s own. In the glass you’ll find a full bodied wine of dark purple hue. On the nose are aromas of ripe blackberry, fig, cassis, and balsamic, as well as subtle earth tones and dried tobacco. The palate reflects the bouquet, with additional nuances of fennel and oak, accompanied by firm tannins supplying a significant backbone, leading into a long and lingering finish. The wine is approachable now, but still has another 15 years of life in the bottle. I strongly recommend decanting for at least an hour, preferably longer, which is unusual for a wine in this price point… A beautiful wine and extraordinary value. PP Score: 91 (Retail $16-20)
Domaine du Bel Air Bourgueil “Jour de Soif” 2013, Loire, France – This wine will forever hold a special place in my heart, as it’s the first Cabernet Franc that I ever truly enjoyed. Not to mention that its title, “Jour de Soif” translates to “drink the day”, which is essentially my favorite past time! Domaine du Bel Air is owned by the Gauthier family who have been producing wines from their 18 hectare estate for generations, but didn’t start bottling to sell until 1979. This is their entry cuvee, 100% Cabernet Franc from their youngest vines, approximately 20 years of age, aged in stainless steel to allow the fruit to shine and give it a refreshing brightness. On the palate you find notes of dark cherry, slightly tart raspberry, dried thyme and a hint of bell pepper. The wine is medium bodied but is a surprisingly light on it’s feet with a beautiful acidic lift and subtle chewy tannins adding depth and character. PP Score: 89 (Retail $13-16) *Certified Organic
Hermanos Malbec/Tannat Blend 2012, Salta, Argentina – Hermanos is named accordingly as it is the project of three brothers who were raised in the winemaking world of Salta, a high elevation region in the Andes Mountains in Argentina. Their red blend is a mix of 70% Malbec and 30% Tannat, yielded from younger vines (average age of 16 years) located in vineyards with an average elevation of approximately 7,000 feet above sea level. The vineyards see about 340 days per year of unobscured sunlight, leading to rich concentration in the grapes, however, the cool high elevation temperatures lend balance and structure, rather than jammy lushness. In the glass is a full bodied wine with subtle notes of dark cherry, blackberry, bitter chocolate and licorise, and more pronounced notes of green garden vegetable, dried herbs, churned loam and hints of smoke, framed by subtle acidity and firm tannins. A very interesting wine, but not necessarily for everyone. PP Score: 88 (Retail $14-17)
There you have it, my Greek Lamb Meatball and Crispy Polenta recipe, as well as a few recommended wines. I hope you’d enjoyed the read and will try the recipe and wines (if you can find them). I also hope that you’ll give Chobani’s Greek yogurts a try, they really are delicious. As always new content in en route, in the meantime crack open a bottle of Greek wine and yell OPA! (but don’t throw your glass on the floor)… Life is short, enjoy it! | <urn:uuid:f1bde897-3490-4041-9975-ac686f315f0c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://perfectpairingsathome.com/2015/01/11/greek-lamb-meatballs-with-crispy-polenta/ | 2019-07-17T04:28:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.942935 | 2,289 |

Elected as the chair of the Least Developed Countries group (the 48 most vulnerable countries to climate change) at the Lima climate conference in 2014, Giza Gaspar Martins heads a group that is very vocal: it has a lot of support from civil society groups and NGOs/IGOs. They advocate on behalf of their interests, making Martins an influential player in the talks.
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Angola fought until the last hours of the Lima COP to become chair of Least Developed Countries group. As neither would compromise, the group decided to divide the two-year tenure, with Angola getting 2015 and DRC chairing 2016.
In Lima, the group advocated strongly for loss and damage but was sidelined at the last minute when developed and developing countries came up with a draft agreement, which the LDC group found out about only when it was distributed in plenary before the crack of dawn on the last day of meeting. | <urn:uuid:ad0efa59-9529-4f4b-9985-9e4624067a7f> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://roadtoparis.info/top-list/giza-gaspar-martins/ | 2019-07-17T05:48:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.966715 | 197 |

None of us want to spend more time than we have to cleaning the kitchen. Cooking is fun, but clean up…not so much. One of our biggest obstacles has been hard water. It leaves our dishes looking cloudy and spotty, wasting our time and money on multiple washes. Once we discovered Finish Quantum dishwasher detergent, everything changed.
We have always used a different leading brand of detergent and it worked perfectly fine when we lived in New England where we had normal water but moving to an area with hard water meant that we needed to find another detergent. We tried different formulas of what we were using, greener detergents, and countless commercial detergents. You name it, we probably tried it. Finally we stumbled on Finish Quantum Powerball and it was a game changer.
Before the switch to Finish Quantum we were often washing dishes more than once which was wasting water, time, and money. This was very frustrating. Now I save money by purchasing my Finish Quantum capsules at Walmart where they are on Rollback through October. In addition, I stack the savings with coupons like this one:
Besides not having to rewash dishes, another way that Finish Quantum helps me save time is that I don’t have to wash my dishes before washing my dishes. We soak really stuck on grime like syrup and rice but for the most part we don’t pre-rinse our dishes at all. Not even casserole dishes!
Even on glass and my black plates, cloudy hard water stains are a thing of the past with just one run through the dishwasher. One thing to note, please be sure to keep your Finish capsules safely locked in a cabinet if you have young children. They may think that the capsules are candy since they’re so colorful and the lemon scented capsules smell like they would be pretty tasty.
I love how one little Finish capsule per day saves us time so we can do more of the things that we love like playing an after dinner game or watching a movie together. Who wants to spend more time than they have to on dishes? Not me!

Fact Based Fiction
Yes, The Color of Character is fiction. But the life of Glen Feigman is based on real events in my life, the lives of friends and family, and from current events during the time the story takes place. 1970 was a turbulent time. My coming of age occurred during the social revolutions of the late 1960s and early 1970s. I went to a school struggling with integration, and I was enveloped with guilt and trepidation as I gained awareness that I was (am) gay. In 1970 that meant a grim future. This adolescent stew informed my insights into character, race relations, prejudice, judgement, and social relationships – the things that are so relevant to American society today.
Safe Spaces are Detrimental to Improvement
The story is brutally honest and will surely be considered politically incorrect by some, because although the narrative is truthful, the truth is irrelevant to someone with a closed mind and a more popular, fixed point of view.
Who is Glen Shuld vs. Glen Feigenbaum?
I’ve recently participated in two self-revealing interviews, the first is written, and the second is oral. In Fiona McVie’s written Author Interviews, I talk about my background, my motivation to write The Color of Character, why I wish to continue writing, and even my favorite color. I discuss influences in my literary life and my aspirations. That interview is here.
I had a candid and open oral interview with Ed Tracy on his popular podcast, Conversations With Ed Tracy. In that interview I talk mostly about the race relations in The Color of Character, along with the typical growing pains of junior high school students. While the story takes place in 1970, if certain references are removed, it could be written about a student today. Mr. Tracy and others have said I am brave to talk about the book’s content. My response is that the book is based on my reality – my truth – and it is unfortunate if being honest about one’s life requires courage.
Some might find the story informative with revealing insights, while others might find it uncomfortable. To the former group I would say, “Good!” One of my goals in writing the book was to encourage honest, open dialogue among people with all points of view on race relations in America today. Come together without prejudgment, finger pointing, hostility, and closed minds. Listen. Listen. Listen. Understand each other’s reality. What might be judged as racist to some might only be an experienced based reaction, or something else entirely.
To those who are uncomfortable with the story, I remind you that the events are set firmly in fact, and to paraphrase the late Senator Moynihan, you are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts.
Listen to the interview here.
Thank you to everyone who has read The Color of Character. It is thrilling when a reader tells me that the book is thought provoking, and that the story stuck with him or her long after it ended, or even motivated him or her to find ways to improve race relations, and not to feel defeated by them. | <urn:uuid:f92694c7-de9c-4db8-bed3-15c0a281dd7c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://thecolorofcharacter.com/the-color-of-character/who-am-i/ | 2019-07-17T04:53:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.973773 | 646 |

After months and months of trying to track it down and a couple of sightings last year, my old Atego has finally been seen and confirmed. I got the message last night from George Ward, who had spotted it back in April on the M6 at Sandbach, Cheshire. Looking at the truck it hasn’t changed much, it’s got a mouldy spot light, the alloy wheels have gone and the drivers side at least has a new rear mud wing. It’s definitely carrying birds and George said that there were a number of other pigeon trucks passing at the same time. The other truks were from Hambleton Blackpool and Croston Lancashire. Does anyone know these companies? Do they run the Atego??

"As far as anyone can tell, the urban variation on the ecovillage started in 1993, with the founding of the Los Angeles community. Nearly twenty years later it's hard to pinpoint exactly how many of these communities exist. The directory of the Global Ecovillage Network lists 111 ecovillages in the United States, of which only a handful are located in cities. But that directory doesn't list Columbia Ecovillage and still includes Ecovillage Detroit, which has been disbanded for years now. Another directory, the Fellowship for Intentional Community, counts ecovillages among 1,667 intentional communities in the United States, which include communes, cohousing developments and artist collectives.
All of these groups share resources — from space to food to household supplies — and some engage in environmental practices such as composting and growing their own food. Only ecovillages have a stated environmental purpose, however, and reach out beyond the group to spread their environmental message. They seek, as Robert Gilman, one of the movement's prominent figures, put it back in 1991, to offer a "full-featured settlement in which human activities are harmlessly integrated into the natural world in a way that is supportive of healthy human development..." Gilman's vague definition has since become the one ecovillagers rely on to explain what their communities are all about. " (http://www.shoeleathermagazine.com/2010/craig.shtml)

Plant Signaling And Behavior
The establishment of localized auxin gradients plays a central role in developmental patterning in plants. Auxin levels and responses have been shown to increase with temperature although developmental patterning is not affected. This suggests the existence of a homeostatic mechanism that ensures that patterning occurs normally over a range of temperatures. We recently described the cloning and characterization of BOBBER1 (BOB1), an Arabidopsis gene which encodes a small heat shock protein. BOB1 is required for the establishment of auxin gradients and for normal developmental patterning. BOB1 is also required for organismal thermotolerance and localizes to heat shock granules at elevated temperatures. Since BOB1 functions in both temperature responses and developmental patterning we propose that BOB1 may encode a component of a developmental temperature compensation mechanism.

On August 20, 2018, Greece officially exited from the series of bailout programs that had imposed vicious austerity on the Greek people ever since 2010. Now, an international narrative of Grecovery—a tale in which austerity triumphs and the curtain falls on the country’s alleged recent return to “normalcy”—has firmly taken root. But Greece’s so-called clean exit is much dirtier than they’d have us believe: the ongoing relief program ensures that the country will be shouldered with a brutal debt burden until at least 2060.
Konstantinos Poulis’ story “Untimely Love,” from his 2014 collection Thermostat, was first published when Greece’s crisis was a fixture of international headlines. Though it shares with Poulis’ other stories an interest in the power and perils of the human imagination, “Untimely Love” differs in the kinds of questions that it poses about its limits. How do we carry on when the outside world seems to have little space or patience for imagination? What happens to storytelling when circumstances (such as police strikes and teargas) conspire to cut short our daydreams of happy endings?
This was one of very few stories in Thermostat to foreground the crisis. Now, against the fairytale of Grecovery, Nikos and Maria’s untimely love acquires a new kind of timeliness. The national victory claimed by politicians (“We reached our destination,” Alexis Tsipras triumphantly pronounced on August 20, 2018) is hardly the kind of ending that, according to this story’s logic, would allow Nikos and Maria their own happily-ever-after. And though politicians and media have pronounced the crisis over, daily realities constantly shatter that illusion—just as they shatter Nikos’ fantasies of romance. In a manner of speaking, it still “simply isn’t an age for falling in love.”
—Translator Johanna Hanink
It was the sweetest love story that blossomed after the outbreak of the sovereign debt crisis. Times were tough, and no one would have expected that, in a tense era of rapacious capitalistic attacks on working people, at a time when the international capitalist financiers had declared open war, Nikos would fall in love with a girl, a regular sweetheart. She’d happened to pass by the office to see a colleague, Anastasia, who worked in Accounting. The problem is that Nikos didn’t have much of a relationship with Anastasia, so he didn’t have the courage to find out more about her friend. He just gazed at her every time she happened to drop by to get Anastasia so the two could leave together in the afternoon.
He’d met her the previous week, they’d talked a little, Anastasia had introduced them and he’d primed himself to ask her to come on Thursday to the taverna where they all liked to go out together. He said the words, said them again, practiced calmly in front of the mirror and waited. Anastasia was leaving the office for good, so if he didn’t do it now, there’d be no other chance. Just when he’s taking a breath to speak to her, a colleague from next door appears and asks him whether the tax office has activated the system for electronic payments or if they should send someone over. His answer cuts into a little more time before we finally get to the real substance of life: his beloved Maria. In the meantime, Nikos thinks, gulps, draws a deep breath, builds up some momentum and gets ready to ask her to the taverna. He opens his mouth, clears his throat, plans the whole sentence out in his head before he says it to keep from stammering . . . and at that very moment, the girl who worked at the desk across from him starts yelling at the phone and kicking her chair. She pushed things off the desk—staplers, pencils, a little bear that had been a gift from her niece, a packet of paper—then began swearing even louder. She takes some nail polish remover out of her bag and pours it all over the papers on her desk. “You won’t drive me crazy! I’ll drive you crazy!” she shouts, and throws a match on the papers she’s drenched in acetone. Everyone runs over to her, the supervisor runs over, they hold her back, they take a step back, and she shouts again: “You won’t drive me crazy! I’ll drive you crazy!” The supervisor asks Maria to take the woman outside to go for a walk until she settles down. Three people are there struggling to put out the fire: one is trying to get the extinguisher to work while the others are clearing away the papers that haven’t caught fire yet. Maria takes the woman by the arm and leads her away from the office to calm her. In reality, she was the one who had taken Maria; she’d taken her right out from Nikos’ arms, just when the poor guy had mustered up the courage to ask her out to the taverna.
He goes home, takes off his shoes, gets some of yesterday’s leftover lentils out of the fridge and sits down in front of the television. Jesus Christ, he’d come so close. He goes to lie down since they’d be going out to the taverna again that evening. He’d been alone for so many years, just waiting for something to happen; for a chance to meet someone, a chance that never came. These evenings with the same people were like torture. Wasted time, even if they were his best friends. He gets dressed, arrives at the taverna, greets the owner, and right there in front of him is Maria. Someone had invited her, inspired by the afternoon’s fire. It was the first time Anastasia had come, and she’d brought Maria with her! “Hey hey!” “Long time no see!” “Ηow’s it going?” “Let’s just burn the motherfuckers down so they’ll get off our backs,” and so on.
They were all having a great time, then, at the taverna “Klimatsida” in Kypseli. The afternoon’s incident was all but forgotten, especially now that Maria was there too; it was like she brought cheer to the group. They were sitting next to each other, Nikos and Maria, and there amid the din of the taverna he noticed how, whenever he opened his mouth to say something, she hung on his every word. He was talking about eggplant dip, which his aunt had made for him in a wood-fire oven and which was incredible, and she listened attentively, even straining to hear him. She leaned her head in and squinted her eyes. And here’s Nikos with his eggplant dip, going on and on. With most people you have to muzzle them just to get them to listen to you. So how could it be that this woman was actually squinting, just so she could hear him over all the noise? And, when she couldn’t hear him, she’d ask him to repeat; she’d laugh and insist, as if she absolutely had to know everything. But what else could he say about that eggplant dip? When the topic had been exhausted—after ten minutes or so, no short time—she confessed that seeds grossed her out and she’d never eaten eggplant nor would she ever, and they burst into laughter. Just why were they laughing? Was it really that funny? And there, in the noisy taverna, two kids started playing bouzouki and guitar, but with no microphone, because the owner wanted a “more authentic atmosphere”—forget that he charged ten euros just for a Greek salad. The bouzouki player thwacked away and sang “Eleni the Divorcée,” and right as he’s getting to the lines the butcher got word / sent a lamb when he heard, / cook it with spinach / cause I’m coming to dinner he yells out “Ooopa! Lamb and spinach!” and they burst out laughing again like they haven’t laughed since the eggplant dip. And you know why they were laughing? Because in this world, a world where it’s impossible to find an up-front guy and no one’s the right match for anyone, these two people were a chord. And every time Maria laughed, she grabbed onto his shoulder, even though it wasn’t as if she were going to fall. Just like that, out of affection. They said how they definitely had to go to the book fair at the Field of Ares Park. “Yes,” “I’d wanted to go, too,” “I’d been thinking about it” . . . Nikos had gotten his phone out and was holding it in his hand under the tablecloth so that he could ask for her number to go to the book fair together.
And while they’re laughing they hear a voice from the kitchen, the owner yelling at a waitress. The poor girl had just seated a group of kids at a prime table—one of those groups that sits there all evening and just orders appetizers. “They come for the music,” the owner says. “They can listen to the radio if they like music so much. What are you, some kind of moron, a complete idiot?”—“But they asked me if there was a table. It was free, what was I supposed to say?”—“You tell ’em to fuck off, and you can too, you stupid bitch!” The young woman started to cry. “Clean up your face and finish up here,” says the owner, who had no patience for this kind of thing because, ever since he was ten, he’d “been on the streets earning his pay, so he damn well knew his job.” When the waitress then goes to take the dish out of the oven, the handle slips from her hand and hot juices spill all over her. Now she’s shrieking in pain and crying, and her boss starts cursing her again: “You’re gonna land me in jail, you dumbass.” Then all the people who had secretly been listening without saying a word finally burst out: “Are you out of your mind? The girl burned herself!” “How could you be such a dick?” “Just look what you’ve done!” So Nikos grabs the girl and, along with Mrs. Garoufalia, who worked in the kitchen, takes her to the hospital. Let’s calm her down first, then get her some first aid—and with this and that, their conversation got cut off right there in the middle. Later that night, Nikos wouldn’t let himself think about it, but by the next morning he was already asking over and over: couldn’t she have burned herself some other day? Yesterday? The day before yesterday? Tomorrow? Next Thursday? Was there no other day? Anastasia was leaving the office for good and Nikos had no way of finding his beloved again.
On June 28, there was the demonstration against austerity. Nikos was walking down Stadiou Street and suddenly, right before him, someone appears who looks like Maria. He didn’t let himself get too excited, though, since over the last month in his longing for her he’d seen ten such girls, all of whom resembled Maria. Except this time she looked so much like her because she was, in fact, Maria. They greet each other and kiss on the cheeks; she asks what, in the end, had happened that evening, how badly had the girl been burnt, “whoa . . . what a bastard . . . this and that,” and there they are cursing the man from the taverna, feeling sorry for the girl and, in short, picking up the thread right where they left off with the eggplant dip. Things were going well, as we’d say. They walk together and talk about how awful the situation is. What’s going to happen, how far is this all going to go, it just can’t keep up, the people won’t stand for it and so on. Right at that moment, the first flashbang grenades can be heard going off in Syntagma Square. The two joke that it’s Easter, say “Christ is Risen,” laugh, and then the teargas begins. The police want to drive the demonstrators out of the square and press in from all sides, spraying and beating the crowd. They try to move toward Amalia Boulevard, poor Maria can’t see anything, her eyes have been forced shut, she’s grabbed Nikos tightly by the arm and they’re making their way together, huddled in a crowd trying its best not to run and cause a stampede. And as she’s gripping his arm Nikos puts his other arm around her shoulders, to protect her. Suddenly, a romantic rainfall—of stones, that is—begins and the crowd scatters. Neither of them can see, because of the teargas. Some guy has anti-teargas, liquid Maalox, loaded in a huge canister and is spraying it towards people’s eyes, but eyes don’t recover that quickly. At first Maria clutches Nikos’ sleeve to keep from getting lost, but it’s chaos, people are pressing in and it feels like they’re pushing from every which way. Suddenly a hulky young guy stumbles between them, lunges forward with all his weight onto Nikos who tries to throw him off and has to use all of his strength just to stay on his feet; he swerves to keep from falling but it’s impossible to hold onto Maria. She, too, stretches out her hand, stretches it out a little bit more—and goodbye. He looks for her but can’t see anything, only a blur of strange faces. That was it. He’d lost her. Again. He walked and tried to locate her in the crowd. His eyes were squinting and stinging from the teargas and people were panicked and scared. With every new wave of chemicals you could hear their voices saying “don’t run,” for fear of being trampled as they tried to get out. Unable to keep his eyes all the way open, he glanced around in an attempt to find her; he looked for her shirt and the strap of her bag, which he kept thinking he could make out. The police launched more teargas and pressed in on all sides, leaving no way out in an attempt to incite panic and force the demonstrators to disperse. Nikos kept looking, kept searching, and saw a shirt that looked like hers but wasn’t; he went up to speak to a girl, but she turned her head and was someone else. Disappointed, he sat down on a bench at the edge of the National Garden. He started to daydream, the way that he used to do when he was young: he imagines that Maria’s stopped on the side of the street and having a hard time breathing and that he helps her get up and start walking; through tears, she unable to see anything, they head towards Monastiraki and land in another world, on the tranquil lawn of Thissio, where they relax and smile. Just then there was another strike by the police. It’s a bad spot for daydreaming, he’d better go. He moves on, swept along by the crowd, with no hope of ever finding her again.
And then he reflects that this simply isn’t an age for falling in love, that it can’t be a coincidence that everything’s going wrong. The fire, the firing, the police strikes—it’s just not the right time. And honestly, deep down that’s how I wanted it, too. In a tense era of rapacious capitalistic attacks on working people, it’s impossible to tell a love story. After all, let’s be real: who wants to read those kinds of stories these days?

We Are Not Gods
I had a God complex.
It was 2005, and I had just graduated US Army medic training. Looking back now, I suppose most people suffer from the same complex when they first become medical providers.
The fairytale storyline of the medical provider miraculously saving every patient they see is perpetuated by popular media and often not dispelled by our training. If you need any evidence, just flip on your television and tune into any number of shows showcasing miraculous medical interventions.
A surgeon, working on a truly hopeless case, saves the day in a dramatic montage.
An exhausted doctor peruses the isles of a convenience store, searching for a snack. He casts his chips aside when a stranger calls out for help from the candy bar section. "Somebody call an ambulance!" they shout... but there is no need. Our white-coated hero glides in, performs a cricothyroidotomy with a pen from the purse of a swift-thinking old woman and, shortly after, walks out of the store beside his patient. The doctor has his chips, the patient has a small bandage, a miraculous story and a lifetime of gratitude.
In medic training we are taught that it only takes 2 minutes to bleed out from a lacerated brachial artery and 1 ½ minutes from a femoral artery. The implication being that if we get proper pressure on the pressure point and a sufficient tourniquet on in that time, we will save the patient. With the right tools and speed on our side we could save anyone.
We were the angels of the battlefield, holding death at bay and snatching the wounded from the pearly gates!
Death happened, of course, but only if you'd missed something or made a mistake. We were fallible gods, but gods nonetheless.
That lasted 2 weeks.
While working one of my first ER shifts, a gentleman I’ll call Jim (not his real name) was rushed through the doors. He had called 9-1-1 23 minutes before, complaining of substernal crushing chest pain. He described the pain as feeling just like his last two heart attacks.
Paramedics in the area were able to get to him in 7 minutes, well within the vaunted platinum 10 minutes prehospital providers aspire to. Jim was in distress, but also in good spirits. He even joked with the paramedics as he moved himself onto the stretcher.
"Buy two heart attacks procedures, get one free, right?"
The paramedics got him started on oxygen, established IV access, monitored vitals and performed an EKG as they loaded him up and initiated transport. His wife bundled the kids off to grandmas and made her way to the hospital just like last time.
It was a new routine, and everything was going smoothly. Just like his previous visits.
Somewhere along the way, however, Jim’s condition started going downhill.
Midway through another joke he lost consciousness and could not be roused. He stopped breathing. CPR was initiated at a proper ratio of compressions to breaths. Shocks were delivered as indicated. Intubation went seamlessly. The paradoxical motion of belly and chest continued as a string of medics and nurses administered compressions, valiantly attempting to will this heart to restart. The protocol on the wall was followed to the letter.
10 minutes after he arrived, and well within the golden hour for definitive care, Jim was pronounced dead.
I couldn’t comprehend what had just happened.
This did not compute.
The more experienced providers went to tend to the other patients. It fell to me and another medic to sanitize the scene for his newly widowed wife, now crumbling under the news in the waiting area.
I placed a sticker with his name, date of birth and SSN on a white bag labeled "PATIENT BELONGINGS." I then folded Jim's clothes and placed them inside. They had been shredded by the trauma shears so that nothing would escape the discerning eyes of the medical team.
Tube after tube was removed and discarded. One tube for his airway was still warm and thickly coated with drool. One for urine, three now stagnant IVs with blood coagulating in the tips, and two on either side of the chest. We wiped him down and draped a new white sheet over the body that was Jim. Still warm, but now dead.
We did everything right.
I read and reread the chart. We got to him in time. I saw the CPR: it was correctly performed. Everything was done in time, with a precision I could only aspire to at the time.
And Jim died.
We were not gods. Not even close.
Death came for this man, and no amount of tubes, drugs, or savage thumping on his chest could stop it.
We had no chance once that clot broke loose and lodged in one of the arteries, feeding what remained of his functional heart.
I started researching statistics, looking for an answer. Every heart attack reduces the chance you’ll survive the next. Only 10-15% of people requiring CPR in the hospital will leave alive. Of those who do survive, many suffer a decline in mental and physical status as compared to when they came in.
It was a reality check of the worst kind. There are people that need help. There are people that will die without our timely and appropriate intervention. There are others that will -- regardless of who you are or what miracles you try to perform -- just die on you. Those that do survive their brush with death are better than if we had done nothing, but even they rarely achieve the level of health and fitness they had prior to the injury or illness that landed them in our hands.
Hooked to machines, heart persists in pumping blood around a motionless body. The ship sails on with no captain at the helm.
Does this count as alive? Where do we draw the line? When do we go from angels of mercy to wardens of souls trapped in bodies on the brink? At what point do we call it and move on?
As an EMT, this quickly became the problem of medical direction. Some physician, often at a distance, had to judge our efforts by telephone and render final judgement. Sometimes they’d wait until we rolled through the doors, perspiring from the effort of potentially life-saving care, only to confirm what we already knew: they didn’t make it.
As I become the physician that will make those calls, I will always remember that day. The day Jim reminded me that, despite all the training, all the science and all of the miraculous advances in medicine, we are all human.
We are not gods. Death comes eventually. Sometimes knowing how to save someone takes a back seat to knowing when to let go and finding the strength to let them pass in peace.

Joint media release: Yvette Berry MLA and Meegan Fitzharris MLA
A new co-designed pilot program aimed at helping pregnant women and new families experiencing or at risk of domestic and family violence to access free legal services was launched today.
Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence Yvette Berry MLA, and Minister for Health and Wellbeing Meegan Fitzharris MLA jointly announced the pilot which has been developed by the ACT Government’s Family Safety Hub, community and service professionals and people with a lived experience of violence.
As a result of the pilot, Calvary Public Hospital, the Centenary Hospital for Women and Children and the Gungahlin Child and Family Centre will have easy access to free and confidential legal services, available to pregnant women and new families experiencing domestic and family violence.
Minister Berry said the aim of the new program is to make services easier to access for women whose movements and interactions may be restricted by their partner.
“Some women may be afraid or unable to access services because they may not want a police or legal response. This confidential service will help them decide what will work for them according to their own particular circumstances.
“There is a one in five risk of women experiencing violence from their partner during and after pregnancy and of these women, a quarter experience violence for the first time while they are pregnant. These statistics are unacceptable and this problem requires a whole of community response.
“One of the great benefits of the pilot is that health, community and legal professionals will be able to regularly interact and share their knowledge and perspectives with one another so that they can provide the best possible care.”
Minister Fitzharris said health facilities have been chosen for the trial because women already have established relationships with the health professionals they are seeing throughout their pregnancy, making it easier for them to disclose.
“We know that in times of need people seek help from trusted professionals,” Minister Fitzharris said.
“Our health practitioners and front line staff are professional and are not only able to explain what services and help is available, but also to provide assurances about confidentiality.
“An important part of the pilot is for us to look at ways we can build future capability in our hospitals and child and family centres, so I am pleased to see the trial being delivered in our two maternity wards and also in a community health facility.”
Indicators of the pilot’s success including service usage, referrals and the types of advice people want in this setting will be monitored to understand how well the pilot is operating. Depending on the outcomes, the service will end, be extended or scaled-up.
The pilot is part of the work being led by Jo Wood, the Coordinator General for Family Safety. It will run until the end of 2018-19 financial year.

Louisville lacrosse coach Kellie Young was fired amid allegations of abuse, mass transfers and a lawsuit. Danielle Lerner/Courier Journal
The University of Louisville announced the dismissal of head lacrosse coach Kellie Young on Monday.
The firing comes 12 days after Courier Journal reported that Young was accused of negligence in a lawsuit filed by a former player, Madeline Beck, in August 2016 and more than four years after Courier Journal reported accusations against Young for abusive tactics with players.
Young, who took over at Louisville in 2006, was fired after at least 15 players transferred or left the program over the past eight months, including six in recent weeks. Nine players departed after the spring season, including All-ACC goalie Brittany Read and second-team All-ACC midfielder Meghan Siverson.
“We wish Kellie the best moving forward," said Vince Tyra, Louisville's interim athletics director, in a release. “We will forever be appreciative for the effort that she put forth to start the University of Louisville lacrosse program from scratch."
In the lawsuit, Beck alleges she was hospitalized after lacrosse staff forced her to overwork herself during a conditioning activity and athletics personnel failed to provide satisfactory medical care.
Young declined to comment on the lawsuit’s allegations, citing a pending legal issue, but told Courier Journal her reaction was "mixed frustration and sadness."
Young’s attorney in the suit, Craig Dilger, did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment on Young’s termination Monday.
Beck’s attorney said no settlement in the lawsuit had been reached as of Monday afternoon.
After the recent wave of departures, Louisville's roster was down to 20 players, a low number for lacrosse teams.
The transfer number was high: Just 2.2 percent of Division I women's lacrosse players transfer per year on average, according to the NCAA. The nine transfers after this past season constituted a third of the Cards' roster.
Of the 14 players who transferred, only two responded to repeated requests for interviews, saying no comment. Parents for each of the nine players who left this spring also declined to comment.
Former assistant coach Ginny Capicchioni, who spent last season with Louisville but left in the spring, did not respond to multiple messages.
When senior Madison Hoover left the team last week, her mother, Patti, said her daughter "just couldn't take it anymore." Hoover posted on Facebook that her daughter "couldn't support the drama, lies and abuse."
Hoover said her daughter met in August with Young and two of Louisville's top women's sports administrators, associate athletics director Christine Herring and assistant athletics director Amy Calabrese, with the goal of explaining why she thought players were leaving the program.
"We’re the kind of people who give people the benefit of the doubt," Patti Hoover said. "We said, 'Hey, we’re going to give it a shot.' ... Nothing changed."
In an interview in October, Young suggested some of the players' parents pushed their children to transfer.
"You'd have to ask them (why they transferred)," Young said. "We had a great season. We remember getting feedback from our kids that they were grateful, appreciative. They wrote me little notes.
"... It’s hard on our staff because we care about our kids. ... A couple of the kids I had multiple conversations over the summer with, ‘I’m committed to Louisville, I get it, this is what I want to do.’ Out of nowhere, they’d drop. ‘Well, I’m not committed.’ That’s the quote I got a lot."
The departures came four years after Courier Journal reported several parents and players' concerns about what they described as Young's abusive coaching tactics, including making a player with a torn anterior cruciate ligament do 250 push-ups with her teammates as punishment in an airport terminal.
The injured player allegedly forced to do push-ups, Darby Dudley, was among the players who spoke out against Young in 2013. She said in a recent interview that Young “instills a craziness and fear” in players.
“It is specifically her behavior that drives these girls away,” Dudley said. “I’m not sure how girls are getting fooled into coming there.”
Another complaint stemmed from Young leaving a player in Syracuse after a game, an incident Young later said was a mistake. The player sought out her father in the parking lot after a halftime and post-game tirade from Young, but when the player left her dad to get on the team bus, it was gone.
"I don’t believe what I was doing was wrong by holding our kids to a standard and expecting excellence on the field," Young said in October.
Asked if Louisville's athletics administration took any action or imposed any discipline on her after the 2013 article, Young said Louisville's administrators were "filled in on everything" but no disciplinary action was necessary.
"I don’t know how much course-correcting we needed to do," Young said. "You don’t want me to be intense? OK, we’re not going to be as good. You don’t want me to hold you to a standard? That’s OK, so we haven’t done that. And now, I second-guess everything I do. Our captains have said that, 'Kell, we need you to coach us.' I say, 'Really? Because if I coach you, if I hold you to a standard, if I ask you to be what you came here to be, and you’re having a bad day, you’re going to struggle.'"
Young confirmed an incident that occurred a year ago, when some older players demanded underclassmen send them their school identification numbers. Students can make on-campus purchases with the ID numbers without needing physical IDs.
"We have some things that we’re managing with the university," Young said in October. "Kids have done silly things and we’ve addressed it over and over again, but we’ve addressed it to them. … In some ways that is hazing, so I will have to address that with my administration."
Christine Webbert’s daughter, Casey, joined Louisville as a freshman in 2014 alongside Madison Hoover. Casey Webbert transferred from Louisville before the 2015 lacrosse season began, her mother said, because of Young’s “manipulation.”
Christine Webbert said Young made players repeatedly write all the things they did wrong in journals and that the coach regularly punished players as a group for the mistake of an individual.
“We knew what Kellie Young was like," Christine Webbert said. “As soon as we told friends that Casey was recruited to Louisville, everyone was like, 'Look at these articles!' My fault was thinking, 'It won’t happen to my daughter because my daughter is coachable. She follows rules.' I made the assumption that these girls might have been misbehaving, that they were acting out."
Six of the 13 players in Casey Webbert’s recruiting class left Louisville’s program before completing their eligibility.
Christine Webbert said some players were afraid they would lose their scholarships if they transferred to another program.
"Either you were drinking Kellie’s Kool-Aid and you didn’t see it or you were in the other group," Christine Webbert said. "There was no middle." | <urn:uuid:4bcc1a3e-0c37-473e-a14b-d7047a9024c3> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.courier-journal.com/story/sports/college/louisville/2017/11/06/louisville-fires-womens-lacrosse-coach-kellie-young/837203001/ | 2019-07-17T05:21:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.97882 | 1,587 |

“I would swim to Barcelona if they came knocking”Paulo Dybala
Dybala told Radio Belgrano: "Would I be open to a move to Barcelona? I would swim to Barcelona if they came knocking.
"I wouldn't even have to change into my swimming gear. After all, I would only have to cross the Mediterranean Sea."
Dybala's 1,200km swim would be interrupted by the Mediterranean island of Sardinia which sits around half-way from Palermo to Barcelona.
If he fancied a rest in the south-coast town of Cagliari, Dybala could visit the island's San Benedetto market or take a look at the Tower of San Pancrazio.
He would then be faced with an 86 hour walk to the northern tip of the island to continue on to Barcelona in what is a 1,022km trip as the crow flies.
Alternatively, Dybala could take a one hour 50 minute flight, a 28 hour train tourney or if he fancied a mammoth 2,253km road trip through Italy, France and Spain would take almost 23 hours. | <urn:uuid:0fb23397-82c7-4e3e-8453-8fc767f022e4> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/428698/Paulo-Dybala-swim-to-Barcelona | 2019-07-17T04:47:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.961047 | 291 |
100-Yen Shop Can Do’s Travel Compression Storage Bag! – A review of affordable items
In this series, I introduce you to recent cool finds I make at 100-yen shops in Japan.
The product I’ll be introducing this time is Can Do’s travel compression storage bag!
Travel Compression Storage Bag – 2 Types
- Can Do
- 100 yen each (Tax excl.)
These are compression storage bags for clothing that I found at Can Do.
It was love at first sight for me with these cute monotone designs.
The medium sized bag can store around 2 t-shirts.
The large sized bag can store around 2 sweatshirts.
The bags are very easy to use!
First, put the clothes inside the bag.
Close the bag using the slider.
Then just roll the bag up from the end!
As you do so, the air inside the bag gets pushed out through the holes on the opposite side!
There’s a cap for the air hole, so that air can’t re-enter the bag.
It’s made compact in a flash!
The bag’s contents are flattened to about 1/3rd of their original size, so I had plenty of room in my suitcase!
These bags aren’t just cute; it’s surprising how convenient they are!
I have a lot of luggage, so these have become an indispensable item for my travels! | <urn:uuid:65365e0c-9a4f-46a2-8dbc-0c71d8f0680e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.goodlucktripjapan.com/en/article/item/11680/ | 2019-07-17T05:22:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.904158 | 313 |
Burns on Cannabis Leaves
Burns on cannabis leaves are extremely frequent and they can have many different causes. In this article we’re going to go through some of the most common causes of burns on cannabis leaves. It’s not always due to your lights – plants can have adverse reactions to different climates, nutrients, water or dryness.
One of the most common cases of burns on leaves is due to the height of your lamps; many growers still believe that 60cm is the perfect height for a 600w bulb, and the buds end up dried up while still on the plant. The bulb height should be determined by the temperature at the tip of your plants by using a thermos-hygrometer. When your plants get burned because of the light the most affected zone is clearly the top area of the plant, which goes yellow until it completely dries up.
Another kind of burn that appears on the leaves can be due to unhealthy roots. Roots can become unhealthy for many reasons, such as extreme drought, growing in pots that are too big, watering too much or fertilizing too much. All of these things will cause your plants to start looking ugly and ending up burnt, as the roots will also end up burnt. These kinds of burns show up as small brown freckles on your plants which eventually grow and cover the entire leaf, which ends up falling off.
Many times you’ll need to spray your plants with foliar nutrients or preventive products such as pesticides and fungicides. When spraying, you need to be wary of the light as it can cause burns by magnifying droplets of water. When spraying you need to be sure that in the next couple of hours your plant won’t be receiving excessive light, regardless of whether your growing indoors or out. If you’re growing outdoors you need to spray them either early in the morning if you’re in a cold climate or just before the sun sets if you live somewhere where the temperatures don’t drop too low at night. If you’re growing indoors you’ll need to lift the lights up as much as possible until your plants dry, and if you can’t do that then you’ll need to take them out of the tent or room and spray them, placing them back in once they’ve dried. These burns show up underneath where the droplets of water were, which act like magnifying glasses and intensify the light.
One of the most least-known reasons for burns on cannabis leaves are fans. A direct breeze on your plants constantly can easily cause burns on the leaves, and sometimes it can be mind-boggling trying to figure out why they’re burnt. Even if you have a moving fan, if it’s on too strong and it shakes the plant too much the leaves will dry up faster than they hydrate, so the leaf will end up drying up and falling off. These burns tend to happen on the upper areas of plants where the fan can hit them – the plant closest to the fan is the one that will suffer the most. By lowering the speed on the fan or moving the plants further away from it you should stop the burning. This can be hard inside a small grow tent, where you should youse various fans set at the lowest temperature rather than one strong one.
These are some of the most common reasons for burns on cannabis leaves indoors, which is where it happens the most. It can also happen outdoors if the sun is too strong but it’s not very frequent.

Considering their size, babies should take up the least amount of space in your house and your car.
I know – ha ha ha.
Take account of all that “stuff” you just know your baby can’t survive an hour-and-a-half without. And this is especially true when it comes to taking a weekend trip. “Like, OMFG, bring the stroller, the jogger, the wagon, the pack-n-play, the Baby Einstein Play Gym, the bouncer, that other bouncer (‘no not that one, you idiot, the other other one’ she says), the swing that goes side to side, the swing that goes front to back, that one seat that vibrates, and make sure we have a supply of D batteries, get the Bumbo (the green one or the brown one, I wonder?), the high chair, and that other eating chair that sits ground level in case we go for a picnic, and maybe the neck pillow. Should we bring all five or just three neck pillows?”
And there you go. “How to pack for a day trip” as panicked by the first time parent. By the time the novelty of baby number one wears off, you’re much wiser. At least that’s what I tell myself. Whatev.
I wish I’d known about the GoCrib before Chloe was born. I absolutely de-freaking-stroyed a Combi portable crib (pack-n-play thing) because I didn’t read the crappy instruction manual couldn’t figure out how to operate the joints. When I was done putting it together it wasn’t fit for containing a precious baby. It wasn’t fit for containing your worst enemy’s dirty laundry. One entire side flopped over and just wouldn’t stand up.
The GoCrib – oh, sweet GoCrib, where were you when I needed you? It packs down into a backpack and weighs a total of 11 lbs. (Pack-n-play? Yeah, that weighs 20 lbs and takes up more space than a set of golf clubs when it’s packed). I love the idea that you just pump it up with the supplied air pump. It wins points for simplicity. It’s often that the simplest design is the best. I also highly approve of the small pack size.

The fourth heart sound (S4), also known as the “atrial gallop,” occurs just before S1 when the atria contract to force blood into the left ventricle. If the left ventricle is noncompliant, and atrial contraction forces blood through the atrioventricular valves, a S4 is produced by the blood striking the left ventricle.
CLINICAL PEARL: A S4 heart sound occurs during active LV filling when atrial contraction forces blood into a noncompliant LV.
Therefore, any condition that creates a noncompliant LV will produce a S4, whereas any condition that creates an overly compliant LV will produce a S3 heart sound.
A S4 heart sound can be an important sign of diastolic heart failure or active ischemia and is rarely a normal finding. Diastolic heart failure frequently results from severe left ventricular hypertrophy, or LVH, resulting in impaired relaxation (compliance) of the LV. In this setting, a S4 is often heard. Also, if an individual is actively having myocardial ischemia, adequate adenosine diphosphate cannot be synthesized to allow for the release of myosin from actin; therefore, the myocardium is not able to relax, and a S4 will be present.
It is important to note that if a patient is in atrial fibrillation, the atria are not contracting, and it is impossible to have a S4 heart sound.
CLINICAL PEARL: A S4 heart sound is often a sign of diastolic heart failure, and it is rarely a normal finding (unlike a S3).
Normal LV vs. Dilated LV (S3 Present)
Like S3, the S4 sound is low pitched and best heard at the apex with the patient in the left lateral decubitus position.
Below is comparative information for S3 and S4.
S3 – “ventricular gallop”
- Occurs in early diastole
- Occurs during passive LV filling
- May be normal at times
- Requires a very compliant LV
- Can be a sign of systolic congestive HF
S4 – “atrial gallop”
- Occurs in late diastole
- Occurs during active LV filling
- Almost always abnormal
- Requires a noncompliant LV
- Can be a sign of diastolic congestive HF | <urn:uuid:d1c79270-457e-4c9a-8f3b-48f697c13dff> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.healio.com/cardiology/learn-the-heart/cardiology-review/topic-reviews/s4-heart-sound | 2019-07-17T04:55:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.872728 | 520 |

The World Bank has worsened its forecast for Russia's GDP in 2016.Shutterstock / Legion-Media
According to a World Bank report published on April 6, the bank has worsened its forecast for Russia's GDP in 2016, with the international organization now expecting the Russian economy to contract by 1.9 percent instead of 0.7 percent as previously estimated.
Meanwhile, the forecast for the growth of the country’s economy in 2017 is expected to be 1.1 percent and not 1.3, as predicted before.
The World Bank's pessimistic scenario is based on the average oil price falling to 30 dollars per barrel in 2016.
However, in 2017 oil may reach a threshold of $40 per barrel, and $45 in 2018. This would see GDP increase by 0.5 percent in 2017 and by 2 percent in 2018.
Business daily RBK reports that analysts have said that the forecast concerning the poverty level is still worrying, with all scenarios predicting a further increase in the number of those beneath the poverty line and the worsening of indicators for public wellbeing.
"The forecasted poverty growth in all the scenarios is partly conditioned by the strong negative effect of the reduction of real income in 2015 in combination with the continuing deterioration of the employment indicator," says the report.
Presenting the report at a press conference, Birgit Hansl, the World Bank's lead economist for the Russian Federation, remarked that the experts had based their forecast of the development of Russia's economy in 2016 on the weakening ruble.
"In our forecasts we do not publish this figure, it is done intentionally," she said, noting that in 2017 the ruble is expected to strengthen slightly. Inflation in Russia by the end of 2016 will be 5.9 percent, according to Hansl.
On March 30 the Development Center of the Higher School of Economics in Moscow published a forecast in accordance with which Russia's GDP will fall by a total of 8.1 percent in the 2015-2019 period.
The center’s experts said that the current trend "impedes the economy's departure from the present depressive trajectory."

Get the Recipe
While I'm all about a fat wedge of pumpkin pie around the holidays, I've got a real soft spot for pumpkin cake as well. Between the big swoops and swirls of tangy cream cheese frosting and those fluffy layers of cinnamon-scented cake (not to mention the crunchy pecans), it brings all my favorite fall flavors to the table in one amazing slice.
Unfortunately, pumpkin cake is subject to a few pitfalls that can give it a bad name. On the one hand, it often bakes up like a giant muffin, flavorful but dense. On the other, it's little more than a glorified spice cake, delightfully fluffy but without any real pumpkin flavor.
A good recipe, however, can bring the best of both worlds together—a bold pumpkin flavor, with a light and tender crumb.
Compared with simpler recipes, like the one for my vanilla butter cake, this one is set apart by its use of egg yolks, pumpkin purée, potato flour, and bleached cake flour.
The egg yolks are added to the butter/sugar base after creaming, while the pumpkin purée is thinned with milk and added with the cake flour at the end.
Together, they give the cake a custardy flavor, like that of pumpkin pie, but on the downside, they add an excess of fat and water. When left unchecked, that can be a formula for a dense and gummy cake, which is where the addition of bleached cake flour and potato flour comes in.
I've done a deep dive on bleached cake flour before, but in short: Chlorination changes the starch behavior in cake flour, producing a supernaturally light and fluffy crumb in high-moisture cakes such as angel food or strawberry.
Potato flour works in much the same way, combatting the potential for gumminess in rich, high-moisture cakes (particularly in yolky yellow cakes).
A small spoonful will also help with moisture retention, in turn improving the cake's shelf life overall (an incredible asset at holiday-baking time).
Together, the bleached cake flour and potato flour help ensure the results bake up cakey and light, rather than muffin-y and dense.
Once those curious ingredients have been taken into account, the assembly method is fairly straightforward. It starts with butter and sugar, along with the baking powder and potato flour, plus a trio of pumpkin pie spices (ginger, cinnamon, and cloves).
The butter and sugar are creamed until fluffy and pale, then the egg yolks are added one by one, followed by a generous splash of vanilla extract.
The bleached cake flour and pumpkin/milk are incorporated in alternating additions, then folded a few times with a flexible spatula to make sure the batter is well mixed from the bottom up.
For maximal rise and minimal browning, I divide the batter between two eight- by three-inch anodized aluminum cake pans. You can certainly scoot by with two-inch-deep pans, but the cakes will have a more pronounced dome. (More info can be found in my in-depth cake pan review.)
For a casual finish, you can frost the cake with my fast and easy cream cheese frosting, or even a fruity whipped cream (freeze-dried cranberries make a particularly nice pairing). For a more polished look, or for cakes that need enough structure to be transported in a car, I'd recommend a sturdy Cream Cheese Buttercream instead.
In either case, I like to garnish the cake with a sprinkling of cinnamon, and a handful of toasted pecans for crunch.
The tang of cream cheese offsets the warm spices and earthy pumpkin flavors of the cake, for a dessert that's comforting and familiar, if not exactly traditional in terms of ingredients and technique. Thanks to the pumpkin and potato flour, it's also a cake that seems to last and last, so you can feel free to whip it up a day or two in advance—presuming you can resist the temptation of stealing a slice for yourself.

3 Ways to Save Money – Try This “No Spend Month Challenge”Lifestyle Money
If you feel like you can’t ever save enough money at the end of the month, you’re not alone. But it turns out you have more money than you think you do – at least that’s what wealth strategist and author Holly Signorelli says. So, she’s challenged our host Segun to a “No Spend Month Challenge” to prove it. Here’s how you can do it, too!
1. Know Where Your Money Is
The first step is to know where your money is. “What I want you to do is take a look at your bank account,” starts Holly. “Then let’s just take one thing, like how many times you go out to eat, or go to the bars to hang out with your friends – and just highlight it.” It turns out Segun spent $80 a month on tea! Then, highlight whatever isn’t essential – and that’s what you stop doing for one month. “This is supposed to be very simple – you don’t have to add stuff up.” Sounds simple enough!
2. Have a Goal
The next “No Spend Month Challenge” step is to have a goal – like saving for a trip! “I didn’t take my wife on our honeymoon right after the wedding,” shares Segun. “I wanted to do that toward the end of the year in December.” And think about that goal to stay on track! “Don’t think about what you’re not going to have this month – think about how awesome it’s going to be when you’re in this honeymoon…You’re going to get so excited about it that you actually won’t even care about going out or spending money.” Touché, girl!
3. Believe “No Spend” Doesn’t Mean “No Fun”
The final step to a no-spend challenge is believing that “no spend” doesn’t mean “no fun”. For example, if you love going to the movies, Holly says you can still keep your Netflix account since it’s not expensive.
Try Holly’s no-spend challenge for yourself, and share on our Facebook page @TheListShowTV how much you save! | <urn:uuid:617eeeca-1773-45d7-bafd-43f76b115332> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.thelisttv.com/the-list/3-ways-to-save-money-try-this-no-spend-month-challenge/ | 2019-07-17T04:29:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.930512 | 530 |

Ninja, Tfue And TSM Myth Fall Short Of Qualifying For The Fortnite World Cup.
Week 4 of the Fortnite World Cup qualifier took place yesterday and several big names came up just short of qualifying. Week 4 was duos, while the odd numbered weeks are the solo qualifiers. The top three duos in NA – East and West qualify for the World Cup (as well as other regions across the globe), which will take place July 26-28 in New York City with $30 million up for grabs — the largest esports tournament in history.
On the east side of things, popular streamers Tfue and FaZe cLoak got 6th place with 82 points, only three points away from qualifying. Tfue has already qualified in solos for his performance in Week 3.
Ninja and his duo partner Reverse2k came up just short as well, finishing in 14th place with 75 points. They were 10 points away from third place. They started extremely well with a nine-kill victory in their first game. They also had two other games finishing in second place, but it was not enough.
Other well-known streamers placed high in the east including Liquid’s Poach and Chap in 12th place, Symfuhny in 46th place and TSM Myth finished in 56th place with 62 points.
The west was a different story, as the familiar faces did not fare so well. Nickmercs and his duo partner NioRooch finished in 60th place with 62 points. SypherPk finished just inside the top 100 with 57 points.
Here are the six duo teams who have now qualified for the World Cup in late July.
- NRG Zayt and Ghost Saf 99
- Tempo Brush and Tempo Cizlucky 91
- Nate Hill and FaZe Funk 85 (funk qualified last week in solos)
- KNG Leno and KNG Barl 90
- FA HzExtinct and Carson CBC 88
- WBG Rhux and WBG Pika 87
For a complete list of qualified players from the previous weeks, check out Fortnite’s official World Cup page.
Week 5 will be solos and will take place May 11-12 as players once again try to get a seat to the largest tournament in esports history. There are 10 weeks total to qualify so we are almost halfway through the qualifiers. | <urn:uuid:fac09796-8f82-4517-9adb-e35e08c42b5e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.thesports.biz/ninja-tfue-and-tsm-myth-fall-short-of-qualifying-for-the-fortnite-world-cup/ | 2019-07-17T04:45:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.970718 | 505 |
Orlando — Continuing its recent practice of being the first manufacturer of the year to host a dealer show, LG Electronics gave key accounts and the press a sneak peek at plans for the 2007 consumer electronics and major appliance model year here last Wednesday.
This year's show brought together LG's CE and major appliance businesses for the first time and had the surprising announcement that sales VP Bob Perry has left the company. (See p. 8.)
In kicking off the event, LG's U.S. president Michael Ahn said the premium brand's aided awareness "has skyrocketed to 75 percent today from 33 percent three years ago. This confirms the success of our "Life's Good" campaign and premium product positioning."
In CE products, LG unveiled over 20 LCD TV models, including 11 1,080p units. Enhancements to the line include improved contrast performance, a "TruWide Viewing Angle" and "Simple Link" connectivity using the HDMI-CEC standard. Pricing was not available at press time.
What LG did not discuss was its Blu-ray player plans. Fellow Blu-ray backer Sony said last week that it would delay its launch of its Blu-ray deck until December, while TWICE sister publication Video Business reported last week that Pioneer is pushing back its launch of its player, the BDP-HD1, until December to "ensure the hardware meets its specifications."
On what LG did introduce, the company outlined its LCD line that consists of four main series of products offering a range of sizes from 20W- to 47W-inches.
The LC7 series offers screen sizes ranging from 26W- to 47W-inches, the 47W-inch features 1,080p resolution. It includes the new Simple Link system, a 5,000:1 contrast ratio and advanced TruWide Viewing Angle technology.
The LB4D series includes 32W-, 37W-, 42W- and 47W-inch models and includes 1,080p resolution in many models, a TruMotion Drive, three HDMI inputs and USB Media Host (USB 2.0) for photo and music.
The LB5D series includes the 37W-, 42W-, 47W- and 52W-inch screen sizes, all with 1,080p resolution.
The LY3D series (47W-, 52W- and 57W-inches) combines 1,080p resolution with LG's TruMotion Drive and wide color gamut backlight that expands displayable colors to 92-percent of the NTSC spectrum.
Full HD 1,080p capability was also added to select new plasma displays, which next year will feature 11 total models ranging in screen size from 42W- to 71W-inches.
The plasma line features three product series including some carryover units. The "core" PC5D series adds 42W- and 50W-inch models, while the PB4D series includes 42W-, 50W- and 60W-inch models with integrated 160GB HD DVRs.
The PY3D series (featuring 50W- and 60W-inch models) will add 1,080p resolution.
In white goods the focus was clearly on the kitchen. LG showed a sleek new assortment that includes a dual-convection electric range; a large-capacity dishwasher; an over-the-range (OTR) microwave with a unique pull-up door; and a new Panorama series French-door refrigerator with a vertical ice and water dispenser.
Pricing was not available at press time.
The latter, available in standard and counter depths, features a 10-inch-tall dispenser designed to accommodate pitchers, coffee pots and tall bottles. Like its first-to-market predecessor, the dispenser is located within the refrigerator door, unlike competitive three-door models that limit the icemaker to the bottom-mount freezer compartment.
LG described its dual-convection electric range as another industry first. The unit features two convection fans, each surrounded by a heating element, for uniform baking, faster roasting, and a 30-percent reduction in pre-heating times. LG also added a 5.0-cubic-foot gas range with glass touch controls. The OTR microwave oven also represents an industry-first with its pull-up, vs. swing out, door design.
The 2007 model dishwasher features an extra-large stainless steel tub with a 16-place setting capacity and versatile third rack, plus a fully-integrated LCD touch control panel. | <urn:uuid:b880b604-90ae-4505-9cd0-4b97a9aa2951> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.twice.com/news/lg-unveils-07-ce-appliance-lines-32787 | 2019-07-17T05:33:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.939489 | 934 |

I just noticed a really cool feature of Gmail. This is subtle, so hang in there with me…
It, like other mail programs attempts to automatically maintain your address book for you by adding entries for addresses in mail you send. When you reply to someone who’s e-mail arrived without a real name, just an e-mail address you’ve got a problem: how do you add a useful address book entry for that?
Gmail adds an address book entry with the real name set to the part to the left of the @. A reasonable default, since some people’s usernames are close enough to their real names, and also because you might search the address book by typing some of what you remember from their email address.
But if you are a little bit obsessive like me, you prefer to see the address book have the proper real name. It makes the email look nicer when it goes out, and means that if you search on the person’s name instead of their email address, you can still find them. So I’m tempted from time to time to go in and fix up my address book.
Today I noticed I was replying to someone who’s address book entry was missing the real name. I thought, “Oh jeeze, I need to fix that”. But for some reason, instead of actually going and editing things in the address book user interface, I just edited the To box to add in the real name, changing “To: [email protected]” into “To: Foo Bar <[email protected]>”. (Ok, so it helps that I’ve read RFC 822, and actually know the BNF for an e-mail address. I’m a geek. Sue me.)
After making the edit, I realized, “Idiot. Now you just have to go do the same thing again in the address book.” So I sent the message and headed over to the address book. And found that Gmail had already fixed it for me.
How cool is that? It looks over your shoulder as you send things out, and fixes up your address book to track the edits you make to the To line. If this had been your run of the mill almost-good-enough-but-really-irritatingly-not-quite-right software, it would have noticed the address was different, and made a NEW entry in the address book for that, thereby leaving me with an address book that still needed pruning. But because this is Gmail, it Did Things Right.
Thank you, Google, for helping me make it day by day without throwing my computer off the top of the Empire State building.
Update: I just noticed that they almost got it perfect: old e-mail from the same person does not get the benefit of the new address book entry. It is still missing the real name. It seems like during rendering of a thread into HTML, they should use lookups into the address book to “clean up” names in the headers. This simple request is likely fraught with performance problems and other subtle gotchas, so I suspect that it was considered and either skipped or delayed until all the gotchas are figured out. | <urn:uuid:72d559be-f3e4-4523-bb9b-f3225ad0e836> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://blog.nella.org/gmail-continues-to-rock-my-world/ | 2019-07-18T11:04:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525627.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718104512-20190718130512-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.965046 | 679 |
As has been covered in a previous discourse, the naming of things is important. As with my toilet rolls that are, in fact pink, despite being called ‘lilac’ on the packaging, when something has the wrong name it can be misleading and confusing.
Think how awful it is then, when something has no name at all!
Many people have complimented me on the penguin who is sitting, looking down on us all, from the top right of Bright Meadow’s header. Ever since Spooky created him for me back in the summer of 2005, I have been looking for a way to display him that is worthy of his evilness and cuteness, and with the move to WordPress, I was able to give him a design he wouldn’t be ashamed of. Along with my cartoon head, he is probably the most visually identifiable part of the site.
It has come to my attention, however, that the penguin doesn’t have a name.
This is a state of affairs that just can’t be allowed to continue. So, without further ado, I am proposing a competition.
Name That Penguin *1*
Everyone has a week (the closing date will be the 2nd of February) to propose a name for the penguin.
You can propose a maximum of three names.
Only names posted in the comments field of this post will be accepted.
At the end of the submission round, there will then be a further week where you can vote for the best name from the shortlist I will compile.
The winning name will thenceforth be the name for the Bright Meadow Penguin.
Some other points:
I wish I could give prizes, but budgetary constraints (i.e., my current job-less-ness) preclude my normal generous nature. My undying love and affection will have to be enough for you.
Winning will, of course, entitle the winner to Blog Minion status if they do not already have it.
I am loath to rank my Minions, so existing Minions will just have to make do with the happy glow of knowing that they’ve done something worthwhile to make the world a better place. For after all, what is a named penguin, if not a happy penguin? And happy penguins are less likely to view you as victims in their next plot.
Don’t just limit yourself to traditional penguin names like “Pengu” – I am a great fan of unusual names, hence plants called Sebastian and George, a dog called Jason, a cat called Twigglet, and fish called Chips, Cassandra, Humph, Arthur, Shanks, and Tilley. I’m looking for a name that captures the essential identity of the Bright Meadow Penguin. Go wild!
Now, I know there’s at least 15 of you reading Bright Meadow, so let’s see if we can get at least fifteen names. Take your time, you’ve got a week, and I’ll sticky this post in the sidebar so it doesn’t get drowned beneath a horde of later posts.
Just in case you’re reading this in an RSS reader and have forgotten what the Bright Meadow Penguin looks like, here is what he looks like:
Let the games begin!
*1*Now I have the theme tune from “Dastadly and Mutley” going round in my head.

History of the Uniontown Council No. 1275 Uniontown Council No. 1275 was instituted on Sunday, January 5, 1908. At the date of installation, Edward L. Hearns was Supreme Knight, James A. Flaherty was Deputy Supreme Knight, and William J. McGinley was Supreme Secretary.
John W. McFayden, Esq. of Latrobe was District Deputy of District 24 and was largely instrumental in the organization of the New Council. In active charge of the formation of the New Council were residents of this community who were members of other councils. Among those were John W. Campbell, Walter B. Whaley, Patrick J. Locke and Dr. P. A. Larkin. All three degrees were conferred upon a large class in the hall on the third floor of the West End Theatre Building (now VFW Post 47) on West Main Street. The first officers of the council were as follows:
Grand Knight: John W. Campbell
The council meetings were held for a number of years in the lodge room on the third floor of the First National Bank building. The council next secured its own quarters in the Hagan Building on East Main Street, then moved to the third floor of the Blackstone Building, and thence to its own home at the corner of East Main Street and Coolspring Street.
During the depression years this home was lost and then the council moved into quarters on the third floor of the Woolworth building on Main Street where it remained for a short time. Then meetings were held an Enany’s Garage on East Main street until a home was purchased in 1955. The old Gilmore Mansion was located atop a hill overlooking the city on McClellandtown Road. In 1969 the Council was again forced to move because of the construction of the Uniontown By-Pass. Temporary quarters were secured in the John building on East Penn Street until August 1970 when its present home was purchased.
The new home, the former John Brown Estate shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, on the Old Connellsville Road, then consisted of about fourteen acres of land, several buildings, picnic area, a swimming pool, and basketball court.
Figure 1: Front view of the previous Knights Of Columbus Hall.
Figure 2: Ariel view of the previous Knights Of Columbus Hall.
A Holy Shrine in honor of the American Saints was constructed and blessed by The Most Rev. William G. Connare, Bishop of the Diocese of Greensburg. Selected photos of remaining shrine areas follow:
The saints honored in the shrine are, the North American Martyrs of New York State, St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, St. Elizabeth Seton, St. John Neumann, Bishop of Philadelphia, and Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha. Also the Council received an elm tree from the Jesuit Martyr Shrine in Auriesville NY and an aspen tree from the Tekakwitha Shine of Fonda NY.
Because of Excessive cost of repairs and upkeep the mansion was demolished in 1982, with the swimming pool filled in a few years after. The Uniontown Knights of Columbus continued to operate at this location, using the former barn as the club room, and hall.
On August 29, 2005 the Knights of Columbus Home Association was dissolved and the Uniontown Columbian Association Incorporated was formed. Handicap accessible restrooms and a separate entrance way were added to hall in 2007. At St. Mary (Nativity) Church on Saturday January 5, 2008, 4:30 Mass was celebrated by our Worthy Chaplain, Father Micah Kozoil, the Uniontown Council celebrated 100 years of Columbianism in the Uniontown Area. Our Columbian Squires Circle, Rev. Thomas J. Dunn 1543 was reactivated in 2008.
The Uniontown Council continues to serve Uniontown’s six Catholic Churches; St. Mary (Nativity), St. John the Evangelist, St. John the Baptist Byzantine, St. Joseph, St. Therese de Lisieux and St. George Marionite. The Uniontown Council is a member of the Albert Gallatin Assembly No. 926, 4th Degree Knights of Columbus, the Greensburg Diocesan Chapter, and District 111.
The Council Officers for our 100th year 2007-2008, were as follows.
Grand Knight: Joseph W. Korelko III
Ronald A. Tajc
Five other councils have been formed out of the Council 1275 area and memberships. They are: 3461 - Holy Innocents, Brownsville (1951); 3569 - John F. Kennedy, Carmichaels (1952); 4261 - Masontown (1956); 7404 - St. John Neumann, Fairchance (1979) and 9584 - Great Meadow, Farmington (1987).

Pecan pie! Chocolate mousse! Candy cane truffles! Roast beast! Whether your tastes range from traditional to Seussian, holiday food can inspire anxiety or ecstasy—or both—depending on your mind-set. Here’s the good news: The average weight gain for the holiday season is just one pound. Now for the bad news: While that might not sound like much, research shows we don’t lose it, and that one pound adds up year after year. And the news is worse for people who are already overweight, who add about five extra holiday pounds each year.
Sweet treats and rich meals can be landmines for health-conscious people, yet no one wants to feel deprived during the hap- hap-iest season of all. But no need to fear—there are sensible ways to navigate this territory. And who better to show you how to do it than healthy eating experts themselves? We asked the country’s top nutritionists and dietitians to tell us the single rule they use personally to make it through the season without overdoing it or stressing so much that they miss the festive fun.
Lindsey Joe, Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist
My one rule: Eat what you love, leave what you like.
Instead of piling your plate a mile high with things that don’t really tantalize your taste buds (fruit cake, we’re looking at you!), pick only the foods that give you true enjoyment. If something doesn’t make you swoon, leave it on the sideline.
Erica Giovinazzo, R.D., Head Coach and Nutritionist at Brick CrossFit and BodyChange Dietitian
My one rule: Keep your treats to one day a week.
The biggest mistake people make at the holidays is making Thanksgiving a four-day feast instead of a one-day indulgence. Then the holiday parties come and all of a sudden you’re giving yourself an excuse to have treats nearly every day. Rather than letting your holiday feast roll into pie for breakfast, limit your splurges to one event per week. | <urn:uuid:0140bcdf-a6a9-4fea-8c4b-b9b2c11edeb0> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://magazine3.com/demo/feminine/1/nutritionists-single-rule-that-makes-holiday-eating-so-much-healthier/ | 2019-07-18T11:35:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525627.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718104512-20190718130512-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.927647 | 439 |
I'd never heard of the stuff, but according to Misty all Southerners know about it, particularly older Southerners. In fact, that's what she and her family were planning on hunting for at the farmer's market this weekend.
As it turns out, field corn isn't just a tasty side dish, it could be the future of fuel consumption!
In general, current U.S. ethanol production is based largely on the starch in kernels of field corn, the nation's largest agricultural crop. (The predominant use of field corn is for animal feed. Current ethanol production uses only about 7% of the crop.) Any starch or sugar crop, however, can now be used to make ethanol.
As commercialization of advanced bioethanol technology makes possible ethanol production from biomass other than starch and sugar, vast additional resources will become available to supplement ethanol production from corn kernels.
It'll be just like in "Back to the Future" when Doc Brown threw that banana peel into the "Mr. Fusion" on his Delorian. | <urn:uuid:4164b6c7-fe2e-4778-a5fd-fa9df21baa27> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://matt.cuthbert.ws/2005/07/it-fuels-you-and-your-car.html | 2019-07-18T11:38:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525627.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718104512-20190718130512-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.957555 | 212 |
Before we went on kefalonia for our holidays, I had seen many reviews and I wasn’t so sure if all was real.
Now, I came back and I totally agree with everything been written.
We also went to oskars restaurant for a dinner on our first day, it was so nice that we were going back again and again (6 times of our 2 weeks holidays).
The place, the food, the family, the waiters, and the entertainment everything was excellent!
We have seen Oskars studios and for sure next time we visiting kefalonia we will stay there. | <urn:uuid:b5d569b1-3ee2-4f9e-a4bc-1600927c86de> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://oskars.gr/reviews/steven/ | 2019-07-18T11:18:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525627.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718104512-20190718130512-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.987216 | 126 |

Subject: re: 40 labourers missing after cranes collapse in Damoh cement factory in which most of the labours were from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh
To: NHRC <firstname.lastname@example.org>
Cc: email@example.com, Lenin Raghuvanshi <firstname.lastname@example.org>
About 40 labourers were reportedly 'missing' from the under construction plant of Diamond Cement Factory (Prop. HeidelbergCement India Limited) in Narsingarh village of Damoh after an accident occurred on Wednesday.
Three cranes of more 120 metres in height collapsed inside the premises on Wednesday afternoon.
Sources said that more than 40 persons including some women were missing after the incident and no information has been given regarding the 'missing persons' by the district administration and management of the cement factory. Sources said that nearly 300 labourers were working when the incident occurred.
Nine persons who were injured in the incident owing to head injuries were sent to Jabalpur. An FSL team of Sagar also reached the spot and took some samples.
Reports confirmed that two persons were seriously injured and were recuperating in a hospital in Jabalpur. A weight of the single crane was 450 tonne and the three cranes were carrying a pipe of 5 tonne when they collapsed.
Meanwhile, sources said that media was restricted to enter inside the premises after the incident for hours.
A Congress leader of the region, Rajesh Tiwari, while talking to The Pioneer said, "I am quite sure that about 40 labourers are missing. The Collector and Superintendent of Police are trying to hush up the case owing to the pressure of mining mafia who are related to the cement factory."
Raising fingers at the district administration, Tiwari further said that just after the incident, the Collector and SP went inside the premises and the media was restricted for hours.
"Why media was not allowed in the premises for first few hours. Just after the incident the remaining labourers were said to leave the premises," he added.
Tiwari confirmed that the labourers were mainly from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
Commenting over the charges of Tiwari, Collector Shivanand Dubey said that Tiwari was making it a political issue.
However, when asked about the missing people, the Collector said that no one has made any written complaint in this regard till now. "I have not been informed about the missing person till now and if any written complaint is made then I will order an enquiry in this whole issue," Dubey said.
Tiwari claimed that he had made a written complaint to higher authorities and even faxed a memorandum to the Governor Ram Naresh Yadav.
Sources also confirmed that illegal mining is also going on in the nearby river by some mining mafia.
Meanwhile, Tiwari further informed that he was receiving phone calls from some notorious people for not raising the issue of 'missing persons' further.
When The Pioneer tried to contact the management of the factory SK Pandey, the staff informed that the manager of the plant was busy in a meeting. This situation continued for hours in the evening.
Therefore it is kind request please take appropriate action at earliest and ensure the implementation of Factories Act, 1948, Interstate Migration Act. We demand for the compensation to the family of the deseased labour and medical treatment to the labour who are injured.
