The 17th edition of Art Basel in Miami took place the first week of December of this year. For those of you who ignore what this globally famous event is, here’s the scope: Art Basel is a for-profit –privately organized and managed- international art fair held in Basel, Switzerland, Hong Kong, and Miami Beach. The event is a one-of-a-kind platform for artists and galleries to show and sell their work; being so incredibly famous it attracts hoards of international spectators and yes! celebrities.
More than 4,000 artists and over 200 of the most important galleries around the world displayed their work. We are talking about the very best in paintings, photography, sculptures, digital art etc.
Among the highlights of the 2018 edition is the outstanding work by feminist pioneers Ellen Cantor and Judy Chicago, the amazing performative installation at the Grand Ballroom by choreographer Barbara Foulkes and Abraham Cruz and some exhilarating discussions included in the Conversations program by Mari Spirito.
The work of Simon Leigh was unanimously praised. Her sculptures, which explore the subjective concerns of black women through the medium of ceramics started back in the early 1990s and now have set her in the center of the art world’s radar. Another one of the favorites was Zina Saro-Wiwa which utilized her radical video series to analyze subjects such as racism through the lens of food.
Worldwide known celebrities were lured to the fair to party, perform and enjoy the art. Cuba Gooding Jr. was spotted taking selfies, Alicia Keys and Serena Williams were the stars at the No Commission Event held by Bacardi and Bono attended one of the silent auctions. Of course, Young Thug attended the exhibit named: “Young Thug as Paintings”. The entire week was about deep matters, lots of fun and of course, art. Next year’s edition is scheduled for December 5-8 of 2019, if you missed it this year, you can’t say we didn’t give you a heads up! Cheers!

A good size population of birds hangs out in my front yard so I put out a bird feeder. It didn’t take them long to jump all over the free birdseed and I have to replenish the feeder every day.
The birds won’t go near the feeder if I am nearby, so I set up my camera and 200mm lens on a tripod near the feeder, set focus, enable the remote control shutter release, and sat in a chair farther away from the feeder to watch. After a few minutes they returned to the food and I started clicking pictures.
Below is a House Finch or Sparrow, not sure which, on the feeder.
I thought that I might also catch a grackle or dove but they weren’t around at the time. I did get what I think is a male House Finch. The males have red feathers on their breast. I am not completely sure, as I am not great with bird identification, but it was something to photograph.
I had a few issues getting the remote to work from so far away. My other challenge was focus as I was balancing aperture and shutter speed and I ended up with a relatively shallow depth of focus, which did help to blur the background and isolate the subject a bit. I set focus on the bird feeder but it would swing around as the birds landed on it.
As you can see the trees are blooming and attracting bees, so I put on a 20mm extension tube and tried to get some good bee photos using the 24-120mm lens.
The main challenge is that bees don’t like to sit still and getting focus on them is mostly luck as the autofocus has a lot of trouble with extension tubes. I kept trying, alternating between autofocus and manual focus and got a few (bee) keepers.
The above images are all cropped a bit. Using the extension tube I had to reduce the shutter speed a bit as I was getting less light. I didn’t want to bump the ISO too high but I probably could have pushed it to ISO1600.
Believe it or not I boosted the color saturation on the bee pictures, because the flowers are really pale. Still looks a little flat to me, but it looks different on different monitors.
Hope you enjoyed my discussion of the birds and the bees. | <urn:uuid:1dca6f5e-ea4d-4000-b442-a4eaf6fffda9> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://jasonfrels.com/2018/03/21/birds-and-bees/ | 2019-07-19T16:58:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526324.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719161034-20190719183034-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.98028 | 486 |
10 Mar Baking
Ok… so normally my blogs don’t venture into the kitchen…. but today…. we bake! And the best part is this recipe requires only 2 ingredients, 5 minutes, and no appliances!
Baking Backstory – baking is a technique commonly used in drag makeup. It’s when you liberally apply powder on top of your concealer/foundation and it’s left on the skin to “bake”. It’s purpose was to set your makeup for longevity, those queens be sweatin up a storm on stage.
Most of us don’t wear full drag makeup everyday (sad face., drag makeup is wicked) but this technique can also benefit the everyday makeup wearer ! Baking is amazing, particularly for people with oily skin or people who who have trouble with creasing or their makeup wearing off quickly.
Technically You can bake anywhere on your face, but for the sake of simplifying this tutorial, let’s talk under eye!
Take out that trusty concealer and apply it under your eyes in a “V” shape . Blend blend blend that liquid gold in!! (In my opinion the beauty blender is essential for this) Once you’ve blended and there is no pooling of concealer in those fine lines, take your damp sponge and press it into some translucent powder. My favourite is the Laura Mercier Under eye brightening powder https://rstyle.me/~a0xmM , the press it into the area you’ve just concealed. DON’T WIPE, press the power in with a tapping motion.
Here is where the term “baking” comes in, leave this thick layer of powder on for at least 2 minutes ! The method behind this madness is that the heat from your skin warms the concealer and powder and “bakes” it together into place! Once the2 or 3 minutes is up, take a big powder brush and lightly dust off all the excess. Then contour, bronze and blush as normal!
That’s pretty much the long and short of it ! Pretty simple eh??
Liquid foundation wearers – proceed with your foundation application as normal, once you’re all even and flawless start concealing and then bake.
powder foundation wearers – conceal and bake FIRST, then when you’re done baking apply your powder foundation and wipe off the excess powder at the same time!
You can also bake other areas of your face, if you’re oily this keeps your makeup in place longer throughout the day.
If you have excessively dry skin, or if you like a very natural look to your makeup, make sure to hydrate and moisturize those eyes… but in the end, baking may not be for you.
? Good luck beauties! | <urn:uuid:5503513e-eba7-40a4-9ae2-6dbce61c4052> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://kaitlinhargreaves.com/baking/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=baking | 2019-07-19T17:37:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526324.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719161034-20190719183034-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.919098 | 592 |
The Mercedes 230 SL Pagoda has lived to see another day in a whole new way. A top favorite of exclusive and exquisite car-collectors, the Pagoda now undergoes a massive makeover by Carlex.
The Cabriolet looks every inch like the stylish and classy original, but with a brand-new approach. The interior has been tweaked to fit the owner’s request. Now the seats are covered in new two-tone leather made especially to look retro-chic. Wood was used extensively in the Mercedes 230 SL Pagoda as well.
A bespoke cargo space and a wooden crate, that plays the part of a picnic basket, have also been fitted onboard the car.
With much attention to detail, Carlex has recreated the vintage ambience onboard the Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagoda, that would surely impress even its creators, Paul Bracq and Bela Barenyi.
The Poland-based aftermarket experts decided to stay away from the 2.3-liter engine, so the power unit still develops 150 horsepower, making the cabriolet run from a standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 11.1 seconds and hit a top speed of 200 km/h.
The Polish experts did not mess with the beautiful exterior either, so it still keeps the sensual lines of the car presented in March 1963 at the Geneva Motor Show. | <urn:uuid:399d745f-b176-4dce-8e65-1b47bcea8a7e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://mercedesblog.com/mercedes-230-sl-pagoda-by-carlex-is-timeless-luxury/ | 2019-07-19T17:08:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526324.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719161034-20190719183034-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.946811 | 287 |

9 / 10
- Cinematography was great, as it helps capture the environment and scope, in which these creatures live in.
- The overall direction of the film was nice.
- The theme of the film was articulated quite well, as it captures the relationship between humans and cats in Istanbul quite perfectly.
- The musical scoring was excellent, as it helps compliment the theme of the film.
- The night vision scene, with the one cat hunting for mice, was quite innovative and unique.
- Since the film doesn't seem to have a typical narrative that you'd find in most documentaries these days, it makes the movie feel a bit longer than it should, which is why the pacing feels incredibly slow; in spite it's short runtime.
Dogs look to people as if they're gods. Cats know better, and realize we're merely the middlemen of god himself.
"Kedi" is a documentary that explores the rich history and landscape of Istanbul, through the eyes of cats. The documentary is shot mostly from a third person perspective of these cats, with the occasional first person point of view coming into play. Throughout the film, we see various people give interviews about the various cats that run throughout their part of the city. Some talk about how much one cat, or more, have affected their lives, while others talk about how much they love caring for them.
It seems throughout this documentary, it's portrayed that all people of Istanbul have been affected by cats one way or another; whether they realize it or not. One man claims, after having a near death experience, that feeding strays gives his life a sense of purpose. While a restaurant owner, in another scene, recounts how a sophisticated cat often scratches his window, as he begs for food. And in another scene, a different restaurant owner talks about how one cat just showed up one day to solve his mouse problems.
Heck, one lady even talks about how her own cat talks back to her, whenever she tells her to leave. While each story for these cats are different, you get a sense that all these cats that are discussed in the film have their own unique personality that resonates on screen.
While the entire film isn't scripted, you still get a sense of how charismatic these majestic creatures are, and how they struggle to adapt with the evolving world surrounding them.
We even get a brief history lesson about cats, and how sailors used to use them keep away rats on their ships; hence why most countries have cats to this day. It's quite fascinating, and interesting to learn.
Satoshi Mark Noguchi and Colleen M. Lutz do a wonderful job on the musical scoring for this film, as it captures the themes of the movie quite nicely. Not only complimenting the story itself, but the overall theme of the film, as it captures the relationship between cats and humans on Istanbul.
While I wouldn't say this is the best nature documentary that I've ever seen, it's certainly one of the more interesting ones out there. The way the camera was used to capture these cats in their environment was amazing, as it gives you good sense of the world they survive in. I also loved how the Ceyda Torun (the director of "Kedi) used the camera, in one particular scene, that utilized night vision goggles, as it allowed us to see how one cat hunts for mice within the sewers.
Unlike most documentaries in the USA, there's no narrative to this film. Just random interviews with various people, as we find out how these cats have affected their lives one way or the other. Some are stories are interesting. while most of them are generic. Granted, the cats are cute to look at, but apart from that, there's really not much more to say about this documentary.
Sure, it's great seeing this captivating movie that captures the relationship of the people of Istanbul and the feline inhabitants, as Ceyda Torun definitely captures the heart of that theme perfectly.
Other than if you're just not a cat lover, or you don't care for documentaries in general, then "Kendi" should be worth checking out. Granted, the film does suffer from some minor pacing issues, as it tends to drag it's feet half the time. But other than that, it's actually an interesting movie to get into.

Prediction of Infiltration of Water into Aggregated Clay Soil Samples1
out of 9
Post on 18-Dec-2016
<ul><li><p>Prediction of Infiltration of Water into Aggregated Clay Soil Samples1</p><p>F. A. GUMBS AND B. P. WARKENTIN2</p><p>ABSTRACTThe physical propertiesstability, water retention, diffusivity</p><p>and conductivityrelevant to the study of infiltration intoaggregated media were measured for four aggregate sizes:2.38-2.00 mm; 1.168-0.840 mm; 0.417-0.295 mm; 0.105-0.053mm referred to in the study as sizes 1, 2, 3, and 4. There were< 15, 5, and 4% aggregate breakdown of sizes 1, 2, and 3during infiltration. These media were considered stable to infil-tration. The large volume changes (swelling and shrinking)which result from wetting and drying aggregates of sizes 4 andthe nature of the hysteresis curves suggest that aggregate rear-rangement rather than breakdown may be dominant. Therelease of water in two distinct steps and the several thousand-fold decrease in conductivity at the moisture content of thesetwo steps, particularly for sizes 1 and 2 suggest that these mediacan be described as well-aggregated, i.e. having a discontinuityof pore sizes.</p><p>The hysteresis in moisture retention, equilibrium moistureretention curves, and the changes in moisture retention withtime were measured for confined and unconfined samples of theaggregates. Wetting and drying diffusivities and conductivitiesof confined and unconfined samples were also measured andused in the prediction of horizontal and vertical infiltrationunder zero and small negative pressures into columns of eachof the four aggregate sizes using the diffusion equation. Diffu-sivities and conductivities were larger on wetting than on dry-ing and generally larger in unconfined than in confined samples.</p><p>Horizontal and vertical infiltration were reasonably well pre-dicted when water infiltrated under negative pressure and thediffusivities and conductivities used were calculated from infil-tration profiles developed under the same water tension. Pre-dictions of infiltration under zero pressure were generally notas successful.</p><p>For these media, the values of water tension, diffusivity andconductivity at any water content depend on the rate of wetting.The values to be used in the prediction of infiltration musttherefore be measured for times of wetting which correspondto the duration of infiltration.</p><p>The classical diffusion equation can be used to predict infil-tration into aggregated clay soils if the correct diffusivities andconductivities are used.</p><p>Additional Index Words: water retention, aggregate stability,diffusivity, conductivity, hysteresis.</p><p>THE PREDICTION of infiltration in laboratory soil columnsis considered an essential step in the successful predic-tion of infiltration into field soils. Several workers have suc-cessfully predicted the rate of infiltration and the infiltrationprofile in columns of nonsoil media (Youngs, 1957) andin columns of soil (Davidson et al., 1963; Gupta and Staple,1964; Rawlins and Gardner, 1963; Nielsen et al., 1962;Miller and Klute, 1967; Staple and Gupta, 1966) with theuse of the diffusion equation. The infiltration of water intostable well-aggregated soils, where a large difference existsbetween the inter- and intra-aggregate pores, has not re-ceived as much attention. Philip (1968) proposed a theoryfor infiltration into well-aggregated soils, and concludedthat the size of the soil aggregates must be large and thepermeability of the aggregates must be low for this theoryto be required. There is therefore a need to test the applica-bility of the diffusion equation to well-aggregated soils. Thiswill have practical applications to infiltration into crackingand plowed aggregated soils.</p><p>The accuracy with which infiltration is predicted dependsboth on the models used and on the accuracy with whichthe required parameters are measured. Gupta and Staple(1964) showed that the calculated depth of infiltration issignificantly influenced by small changes in the conductivityand diffusivity values from the maximum soil-water contentregion.</p></li><li><p>256 SOIL SCI. SOC. AMER. PROC., VOL. 39, 1975</p><p>The amount of water retained in a soil at a given suctiondepends on a number of factors, e.g., method and rate ofwetting or drying through its effects on entrapped air, his-tory of wetting and drying, duration of wetting or drying,applied external load, and sample size. Confinement of aswelling sample is equivalent to an overburden pressure.On the other hand, if the sample is allowed to swell, bulkdensity and pore size distribution will change and waterretention cannot be related to the initial conditions of themedium. A water retention curve is, therefore, character-istic only for a set of defined conditions.</p><p>A number of methods (Childs and Collis-George, 1950;Marshall, 1958; Millington and Quirk, 1959) is availablefor computing hydraulic conductivity from water retention.The study of Kunze et al. (1968) has shown that each ofthe methods has its limitations and that best agreement be-tween computed and measured values was obtained byusing a modified Millington and Quirk equation. They alsofound that best results were obtained when the number ofpore classes is kept between 5 and 10. Nielsen et al. (1960)found that Marshall's method gave computed values thatwere higher than measured values.</p><p>If the porous medium is unstable, the wetting or dryinghydraulic conductivity, diffusivity, and water retention willbe a function of water content and time; time embodieschanges in structure in the medium. Many of the methodsavailable, and which have been used for measuring, dependon the system coming to equilibrium. Infiltration into well-aggregated soils is a rapid process and if the structure ofthe medium changes slowly with time then the method ofmeasurement of the parameters used to predict infiltrationmay be very important.</p><p>In this study the stability of the medium, and hysteresisin water retention, hydraulic conductivity, and diffusivityare examined. The definition of the medium in terms ofmacropores (interaggregate pores) and micropores (intra-aggregate pores) is examined. The diffusion equation is usedto predict the rate of infiltration and the moisture profilesfor water infiltrating under zero and negative pressure. Theerror made in predicting infiltration using the parametersmeasured under different conditions is studied.</p><p>MATERIALS AND METHODSSoil</p><p>The soil used was the Ormstown silty clay loam belonging toGrey Gleysolic Group and classified as an Orthic Humic Gley-sol. The soil was air-dried, crushed lightly with a wooden ham-mer and sieved with a 2.38-mm sieve. Aggregates larger thanthis size were then more severely crushed in an electricallydriven rotary crusher. The following aggregates were thenobtained by dry sieving: 2.38-2.00 mm; 1.168-0.840 mm;0.417-0.295 mm; 0.105-0.053 mm. These are referred to assizes 1, 2, 3, and 4.</p><p>Water Retention MeasurementsWater retention measurements at low suctions (0-120 cm</p><p>water suction) were carried out with a Haines-type apparatus(Haines, 1930). The water retained at higher suctions (up to15 bars) during drying was determined on pressure plate appa-ratus. No measurements were made at these suctions for thewetting process.</p><p>/) Wetting and Drying Equilibrium CurvesThe water con-tent at a given suction was determined with a separate sample,3.2 cm diameter and 1 cm high. Duplicate samples showed verysmall differences for sizes 1, 2 and 3 (about = 0.05% watercontent); for size 4, if duplicates differed by more than 0.35%water content a third sample was used. The mean of the twosamples that did not differ by more than 0.35% was taken. Thismethod of measurement meant that the samples were rapidlywetted or dried to a given water content. The water contents areplotted on a weight basis, which will be the same on a volumebasis for sizes 1, 2, and 3 when they are confined since the bulkdensity is 1.0 g/cm3. The bulk densities of unconfined samplesvary with water content and the curves are not functions of theinitial bulk densities.</p><p>A sample was confined in its 1-cm high ring on the porousplate of the Haines apparatus by loading the top of the ring witha weight. The load on the sample during wetting would bemainly reaction of the load to the swelling pressure of the sam-ple. When samples of aggregate sizes 1, 2 and 3 were confinedduring saturation then no shrinkage was observed on subse-quent drying to 100 to 120 cm of water suction.</p><p>2) Wetting and Drying Time CurvesA confined sample(4.5 cm diameter and 1 cm height) was used for one completewetting and drying cycle on the Haines-type apparatus. Thesample was maintained at each suction for the specified timeand a new sample used at each of the succeeding times.</p><p>3) Scanning Hysteresis CurvesThese were determined ona sample (4.5 cm diameter, 1 cm in height) of each of the ag-gregate sizes. The samples were wetted rapidly to zero suction,so that the first curve of the hysteresis loop was drying. Theprocess was reversed at 100 cm of water suction, except for size4 which was reversed at 120 cm of water suction. Equilibriumwas considered to be achieved if no uptake or release tookplace over a period of several hours.</p><p>DiffusivitiesDiffusivities were calculated from measured water content/</p><p>distance profiles developed in horizontal columns according tothe method of Bruce and Klute (1956). For water infiltratingat zero suction the porous plate separating the soil column fromthe water source was an aluminium disc perforated with holesabout 1 mm in diam. At higher suctions a sintered glass platewith air entry value about 10 to 15 cm of water higher thanthe suction of the infiltrating water was used to minimize plateimpedance.</p><p>Unsaturated Hydraulic ConductivityFour methods were used to measure or to estimate the un-</p><p>saturated hydraulic conductivity (USC).1) Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity was calculated from</p><p>diffusivity and the slope of the water retention curve on wetting,where K = Ddf!/d</p></li><li><p>GUMBS & WARKENTIN: PREDICTION OF INFILTRATION OF WATER INTO AGGREGATED CLAY SOIL 257</p><p>3) Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity was determined bythe method used by Nielsen and Biggar (1961). In this methoda constant rate of water flow was established in a horizontalsoil column 20 cm long with its ends at different water poten-tials.</p><p>4) Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity values were also ob-tained from the slow drying of vertical soil columns to a steadystate of capillary rise (method of Moore, 1939). These weremuch lower than values from the method of Bruce and Klute,particularly in the high moisture content range and were alsoless than conductivities calculated by the method of Marshall.The columns never came to a true steady state but the processwas stopped after 5 days when the changes in the rate of flowwere negligible. The difference between these results and thosefrom the above-named wetting methods is probably due to boththe hysteresis effect and the changes that take place in a wetmedium with time, e.g., swelling, aggregate breakdown and/orrearrangement, and microbial action. This latter can have sig-nificant effects in reducing the hydraulic conductivity as wasshown by Gupta and Swartzendruber (1964).</p><p>Saturated Hydraulic ConductivitySaturated hydraulic conductivity (SC) calculated from dif-</p><p>fusivity may be inaccurate at both the wet and dry ends. Thereare at least two sources of inaccuracies: in the measurement ofthe diffusivity itself and the slope of the water retention curve.The simple percolation test on confined samples was thereforeused to obtain another estimate of the SC. The time was takenas zero when water was issuing freely from the bottom of thesample.</p><p>InfiltrationInfiltration was studied with these aggregates packed in col-</p><p>umns made up of Lucite rings 1 cm in height and 3.2 cm insidediameter. Aggregates of sizes 1, 2, and 3 always packed to abulk density of 1.0 g/cm3 and size 4, to 1.2 g/cm3, if the col-umns were tapped during filling. Attempts to obtain higher bulkdensities by loading resulted in fracture of the aggregates, par-ticularly in sizes 1 and 2.</p><p>The columns were confined at both ends. The water entryend had a fixed perforated aluminium disc or a fixed porousstone during the study of horizontal infiltration under zero suc-tion and negative pressures, respectively. The air entry value ofthe porous stone was always a few centimeters of water suctionabove the suction of the infiltrating water, to limit the effectof water impedance by the stone.</p><p>Vertical infiltration was measured in confined soil columnswith a 1-cm positive head or with water entering under nega-tive pressure. The top of the soil was confined by sealing a per-forated aluminium disc between the two lucite rings at the topof the column. The column of rings was loaded to hold themfirmly together. The constant head was achieved by a Mariotte-bottle apparatus. At zero time a measured amount of water waspoured onto the top of the soil column to establish the 1-cmhead of water and, simultaneously, flow from the Mariotteapparatus was initiated. Zero time for horizontal infiltrationwas also taken at the initiation of flow.</p><p>The distance to the wetting front (X) and cumulative amountof water that had entered the soil were measured at given timeintervals. At the end of infiltration the column, in a horizontalposition, was quickly cut up and the water content of each1-cm soil section determined by drying at HOC.</p><p>The rate of advance of the wetting front, the cumulative infil-tration (when the rate was not too fast to be measured), andthe final moisture profile were measured for water enteringhorizontal soil columns packed with each of the four aggregatesizes under 0, -4 or -5 cm, -10 cm, and -20 cm of water pressure,and vertical columns under 1 cm, -5 cm, -10 cm, and -20 cm ofwater pressure. Duplicate runs were normally made. The classi-cal diffusion equation was used to predict infiltration, as a testof its applicability to aggregated media.</p><p>RESULTSThe stability of the medium must be established before</p><p>any conclusions can be made on the applicability of a theoryof infiltration in aggregated media. Beds of aggregates weredefined as stable if the aggregate size or pore size distribu-tion remained the same after infiltration as before.</p><p>The aggregates did not slake visibly on wetting beds ofaggregates. The aggregates remained discrete after an infil-tration measurement. Pore size distribution calculated fromwater retention curves measured after percolation of waterfor 5 or 10 min through a 2-cm thick confined sample wasnot different from pore size distribution of confined samplesthat were allowed to wet from a shallow water table for thesame time intervals.</p><p>Dry sieving of samples which had been used for an infil-tration run under suction and then dried showed that therewas no measurable breakdown of aggregates. However,after infiltration under zero or small positive pressures,there may be some breakdown. Ninety-five (95), ninety-three (93), and eighty-two (82)% of aggregates of sizes3, 2 and 1, respectively, retained their original size. Theremaining percentages of aggrega...</p></li></ul>

Microsoft announces a new DirectX Raytracing API at the GDC 2018
Microsoft revealed exciting news at the Game Developers Conference 2018 that includes a new API as part of the broader DirectX framework. We’re referring to DirectX Raytracing aka DXR which will be supported by both Nvidia and AMD. The announcement is a huge step towards some crucial changes.
Making raytracing easier for gaming
Raytracing involves tracing the path of light rays in digitally produced scenes in order to render highly realistic lighting, shadows, reflections, and refractions. This has been used in pre-rendered video to produce visual accurate special effects during post-production. The technique is impressive for film and TV industry.
On the other hand, for gaming which requires interactivity and apps that are highly latency-sensitive, the processing power needed to perform raytracing correctly has been a massive barrier that led to other ways of simulating lighting in 3D environments. Microsoft’s announcement plans to change this.
Nvidia announces Nvidia RTX
Nvidia announced Nvidia RTX, a raytracing technology that promises to bring real-time, cinematic-quality rendering to content creators and game developers. Nvidia’s next-gen Volta architecture consume graphics cards will use the RTX technology and Microsoft DXR.
Support for DXR in older generation hardware has not been confirmed. According to Toni Tamasi, senior vice president of content and technology at Nvidia, real-time raytracing has been only a dream of the graphics industry and game developers for decades and the new and more powerful GPUs that will deliver real-time raytracing will take us into a new era of next-gen visuals.
AMD’s plans for Microsoft’s announcement
AMD stated that it’s teaming up with Microsoft to help define, refine and support the future DirectX12 and raytracing. The company remains interested in new programming models and app programming interface innovation. AMD also said that they’re looking forward to discussing innovative ideas with game developers and get feedback related to PC-based raytracing.

What are digital products?
Some products exist only on a computer, however they are still sold for real money. Examples of these include eBooks (which are just like normal books but instead of a hard copy they are just a file which you can download), training courses (on anything, from learning Spanish to learning about internet marketing), software and much much more.
The advantage of selling digital products is that you don't have to pay any manufacturing or distribution costs. Once you've made the product, everything you sell is virtually profit! This is why many people create their own digital products themselves, for example writing an eBook on a subject, and then selling it. | <urn:uuid:ad8f4a0c-d748-4007-9c3e-e1ffcb1ecc85> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.affilorama.com/internet101/digital-products | 2019-07-19T16:40:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526324.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719161034-20190719183034-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.981107 | 134 |
For those who believe NOT that God punishes consider this verse:
"Behold I will bring the waters of a great flood upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, under heaven. All things that are in the earth shall be consumed."
Nobody believes that God does not punish. Yet God is perfectly simple. Unlike we human beings who may be at one time merciful and at another time filled with indignation and inclined to punish, God doesn't have a separation of these kinds of things in Him. Every act of His is at once perfectly just and perfectly merciful. God is love, and every act of punishment is an act of love. What quoad nos
comes across as a punishment is in fact quoad Deum
an act of love. We perceive it as punishment, but it is actually love on the part of God. Just as a child who is being punished perceives it as punishment, from the perspective of the parent it's an act of love intended to help the child. | <urn:uuid:172b02a5-7e3d-4353-b1b3-2cb7ecb92733> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.cathinfo.com/general-discussion/question-asked-how-do-we-know-the-earth-is-at-the-center-of-the-world/?prev_next=next | 2019-07-19T16:59:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526324.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719161034-20190719183034-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.968946 | 210 |

Brand: Staple Design
Design Signature: Pigeon
While jeffstaple's brand is relatively young, the effect one single release had on the streetwear community as a whole can't be denied. When the New York-based company released their hotly-anticipated Nike SB Dunk released in 2005, all hell broke loose. Future collaborations with Kangol, New Balance, and Kid Robot have all brought different incarnations of the Staple Pigeon into fruition, and it continues to play a role in the brand identity of Staple Design. | <urn:uuid:d01f572b-d782-4b24-950e-254cfc7e402b> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.complex.com/style/2012/05/the-best-signature-design-details-in-fashion/staple-pigeon | 2019-07-19T18:19:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526324.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719161034-20190719183034-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.955725 | 111 |
Menopause typically is associated with many frustrating symptoms, with women suffering from everything from hot flashes to sleepless nights. Remifemin is presented as being a natural way to find relief from these symptoms. Formulated from black cohosh root, Remifemin boasts of being able to offer women clinically proven results. Remifemin is promoted and sold through its official product website for about $20. This all natural menopause supplement is completely estrogen-free and is said to be more effective than soy in addressing issues relating to menopause.
Remifemin – Ingredients
Remifemin’s formula includes black cohosh extract from the root and rhizome, equivalent to 20 mg per serving. Other ingredients in Remifemin are lactose (milk), cellulose, potato starch, magnesium stearate, and natural peppermint flavor.
Remifemin – Product Description
Black cohosh extract, the active ingredient in Remifemin has been clinically proven to reduce common symptoms of menopause by up to 70% after 12 weeks. It has also been shown to improve sleep patterns after just eight weeks; specifically speaking, study subjects who were given black cohosh extract reported waking up feeling less groggy after taking this supplement regularly during the time of the clinical study.
Remifemin tablets are to be taken one tablet at a time, both in the morning and in the evening; this makes for a total of two Remifemin tablets per day. A reduction in symptoms of menopause should be noticeable within “a few weeks” of taking Remifemin regularly, but women are advised to take this menopause relief supplement for at least 4 to 12 weeks in order to enjoy full benefits. User reviews do not appear to be currently featured on Remifemin’s website.
The Advantages of Remifemin
- A full list of ingredients is featured online.
- Remifemin can be purchased through its website.
- This is a relatively inexpensive dietary supplement.
- A timeline for when results can be expected is provided online.
- Clinical studies endorse the claimed benefits of Remifemin.
The Cons of Remifemin
- Purchases are not endorsed by a satisfaction guarantee.
- User testimonials are not featured on the official Remifemin website.
- There are no currently offered free samples of this product.
The clinical studies that have been conducted on the key ingredient in Remifemin provide reason to believe that this menopause product should be able to offer relief from menopausal issues, just like it is claimed to do. However, it is still disappointing that Remifemin is not endorsed by a satisfaction guarantee, and because of this issue Remifemin cannot be given “five stars.”

The objective of this Standard is to assist in the provision of an environment in which people who are Deaf or who have a hearing impairment are included and can share in information and communicate with all members of the community.
This standard is available from SAI Global HERE
Clinical assessment of hearing loss in a section of the Australian population aged over 15 years shows that hearing loss affects approximately 22% of the community (Hearing impairment in an Australian Population, Wilson et al 1998). Additional clinical studies (Blue Mountains Hearing Study 1997–99, Mitchell P., 2002) show that age-related hearing loss increases steeply with age from 11% for people aged between 55 and 59 years to 24% for people aged between 60 and 69 years, to 51% for people aged between 70 and 79 years, to 78% for people aged over 80 years. Listen hear! The economic cost and impact of hearing loss in Australia by Access Economics (2006), shows that 1 in 6 Australians have some form of hearing loss, and this is projected to increase to 1 in 4 by 2050.
Some 20 children per 10 000 births are born with a hearing loss while another 12 children per 10 000 acquire at least a moderate hearing impairment through accident, illness or other causes before the age of 17 years (Australian Hearing Information Sheet 1S 17.A, Anon 2004).
The causes of hearing loss are many: disease, hereditary factors, accidents (head injury), exposure to loud noise and the ageing process, which are the most common reasons for hearing loss. Acquired hearing loss accounts for the largest percentage of people with a hearing impairment. This is often a gradual process, which, depending on the type and degree of hearing loss, can have significant impact on daily listening, communication and quality of life.
The Standard deals with principles to consider when providing facilities for people who are Deaf or hearing impaired. Factors affecting speech intelligibility and hearing augmentation are also considered, including electromagnetic interference to communication equipment. Assistive listening systems (ALSs) are discussed in depth, including systems suitable for lifts and those suitable for use at security entrances. Auditory, visual and tactile alarm systems for use as early warning systems are also covered. Visual communication, using captions for information, public announcements and on large screens at sporting events and similar situations, is also described. There are sections on communication systems suitable for transport conveyances, telecommunications, and personal response systems. The appendices describe methods of test for assistive listening system equipment and information on audio loop systems together with good acoustic environments.
Good quality communication systems will benefit all people, including those from non-English speaking backgrounds, especially in crowded areas. No one solution will suit all people with hearing loss. The following Table provides a brief overview of the degrees of hearing loss and the most common design solutions to assist with effective communication.
The effects of hearing loss and associated conditions can have a significant impact on the individual’s lifestyle. Attention must be given to providing appropriate acoustic environments that incorporate well-designed amplification and assistive listening systems (ALSs).
Hearing loss often requires a variety of new skills to be learned, e.g., lipreading, communication strategies, and/or sign language. It also requires access to a wide range of assistive technology, including hearing aids, cochlear implants, assistive listening devices and assistive listening systems (ALSs) for indoor areas such as theatres, places of worship, transport terminals, transport conveyances and outdoors. To facilitate lipreading and the use of sign language attention must be given to appropriate lighting and background decor. | <urn:uuid:cf74d15d-51d9-4f84-b146-af21c429a7e4> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.disabilityaccessconsultants.com.au/new-australian-standard-as-14285-2010-communication-for-people-who-are-deaf-or-hearing-impaired/ | 2019-07-19T16:23:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526324.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719161034-20190719183034-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.945034 | 727 |
How Erasmus+ is helping to combat the growing issue of young people who self harm.
Self harming among young people is a major issue in the United Kingdom - and one which numerous studies have highlighted is increasing significantly, with some suggesting it is more prevalent in the UK than anywhere else in Europe.
Plymouth & District Mind Association (PADMA) deliver mental health training in Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall, with a particular focus on working with young people and are keen to see improved support and services for those affected.
Erasmus+ Key Action 2 funding provided the perfect opportunity for this, enabling PADMA to partner with organisations in Greece, Lithuania, Romania and Turkey who all have a shared interest or expertise in working with young people and/or mental health issues including deliberate self harm (DSH).
The six partners embarked on the DSH Positive Choices project, working to develop a common understanding of key issues leading to social exclusion – in particular DSH and alexithymia, where sufferers lack emotional awareness and social attachment and have difficulty recognizing the emotions of others.
The group also looked at issues around suicide in young people and sought to up-skill those working in this field.
Graham Nicholls, from PADMA, said: "DSH Positive Choices set out to improve quality in youth work through the creation of a best practice training resource, by partners from different cultural backgrounds, working in different fields of education, training and youth.
"Over two years the project delivered 72 workshops focusing on alexithymia and DSH and other factors in young people's emotional awareness, resilience and self-confidence. We also trained youth workers in recognising and responding to symptoms and in supporting the young person to access specialist help.
"One of the highlights (pictured, with Graham second from left) was presenting the project for an hour on a Romanian cable TV station.
“The project involved evaluating in detail the different national approaches to supporting young people’s well-being and identifying best practice. We then created a new resource – a training kit, based on non-formal learning methods and incorporating the relevant practices identified through dialogue among the project partners.
"At each partnership meeting, the host organisation presented their practice at workshop sessions, showing how young people were helped to explore their feelings and empowered to make positive choices.
"The emphasis was to provide 'bite-size' learning activities that practitioners could, take away, implement themselves and then evaluate in time for the next round of learning activity.
"Each meeting included a contribution from a young person who talked about their actual experience, including from prior contact with the relevant project partners. We then presented this resource at a final international conference in Siauliai, Lithuania.”
Spreading the message
Once home, participants shared their learning with colleagues and local stakeholders and made recommendations, adding to the impact from the shared training. The project's different outputs have formed an open training resource for all those working in the field of youth, particularly with young people who may be experiencing alexithymia and/or any other forms of emotional distress.
“As a direct result of our Erasmus+ project we have all created informal stakeholder committees made up of mental health professionals, teachers, parent association members, young people and representatives from local authority young people services, to build bridges between people in need and our specialised support," said Graham.
"We have already seen the outputs of the project being embedded in the daily practices of each partner organisation and we are now exploring the potential for the project to become a development of innovation in its own right, through an accredited common training programme that can be mapped to the European Qualifications Framework.”

Producer Groups can help address the dominance and lack of competition of the powerful processors and retailers, which is driving the beef industry to its knees, the National Beef Association (NBA) has said.
Groups of farmers have a long-standing tradition of organising themselves in agricultural cooperatives.
Following the promotion of transparency and Producer Groups in the UK Agricultural Bill, the NBA believes these cooperatives are now essential in bringing the balance of power back to the centre instead of being totally with the processor.
Chris Mallon, NBA chief executive explains: “Producer Groups can concentrate supply and improve the marketing of products, optimise production costs, carry out research and share and disseminate their individual experiences to the wider co-operative.
“If new Groups have any chance of being able to stand up to the dominance of the powerful retailers and processors, they will require ongoing support, especially in the early years. They need to be looking towards direct contracts with retailers, creating a distinct brand to build up a consistent quality of product,” he adds.
The NBA says both future and present groups should consider how they sell their stock, moving away from bid prices on a Friday, and towards tenders with processors and direct contracts with retailers. Any new Producer Groups would also need to be well funded and organised, with potential to be marketing a significant percentage of UK cattle, perhaps over 40%.
“Farmers need to start to control the supply of cattle, and work together, if they want to have a future supplying beef,” says Mr Mallon. “Size matters, and as we see at the moment, no one farmer matters on their own.
“Producer groups will need to be farmer-owned and independent of the processor and retailer. Retailer and processor owned groups only satisfy the needs of those who ultimately control it and that is not the farmer,” he adds.
The NBA says independence from those further up the food chain is critical, and any relationship needs to be under normal commercial rules. The day of farmers giving over their commercially sensitive information to third parties needs to end.
“Giving over your costs only drives down the price. We need to take back control by coming together and sticking together for the common good,” concludes Mr Mallon.
The National Beef Association remains the only dedicated voice for British Beef Farmers. Its mission is to continually promote and support the UK beef industry at all levels, including the organisation of Beef Expo event every year. The organisation also engages with the Government and Devolved Administrations to defend the interest of beef farmers across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. | <urn:uuid:15047ae0-84bd-4884-8429-d7c6915ab9e1> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.farminglife.com/farming-news/producer-groups-key-to-future-1-8995759 | 2019-07-19T16:46:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526324.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719161034-20190719183034-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.957177 | 538 |

XPath: Learn It!
So I’ve been trying to do some Facebook App stuff in Ruby on Rails (I already did some in PHP) and the RFacebook Gem uses this wacky XHTML/XML parser called “Hpricot.” The most experience I have with parsing XML is winging it with REXML until I got something that was somewhat correct.
So I tried using Hpricot tonight. Apparently it’s super fast, but the documentation assumes you know a whole lot about the mating habits (internal workings) of HTML and XML. And… I don’t really.
At least, not until I found this handy XPath tutorial! After actually reading the tutorial, rather than trying to wing/hack it again, I think I have a pretty good feel for this Hpricot thing. Basically, there’s a pretty simple vocabulary for describing the nested nature of XML. It’s impossible to figure out from the Hpricot tutorials (which I tried doing for a while), but insanely simple once you just look at the tutorial. Ah well, I guess that’ll teach me a lesson not to hack so much when it’s easier to RTFM… | <urn:uuid:785f06c2-fa1d-4edc-83dd-3917f0649968> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.hung-truong.com/blog/2007/07/24/xpath-learn-it/ | 2019-07-19T17:24:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526324.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719161034-20190719183034-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.928318 | 260 |

Recently declassified documents discovered by doctoral candidate Seth Anziska at the Israel State Archives reveal key conversations between US and Israeli officials at the time of the 1982 IDF occupation of West Beirut, according to documents published by the The New York Times on Wednesday.
Thirty years later, Anziska has discovered transcripts that reveal American diplomats felt they were misled by Israel about events in Beirut during the Lebanese civil war, and convinced them to accept the claim that thousands of terrorists were in the camps.
The massacres by Lebanese Christian Phalangist militias on September 16,
1982 at Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatilla in Beirut led
to the slaughter of between 762 and 3,500 people. Nearly all of the dead
were women, children and elderly men.
After the assassination of then-president Bashir Gemayal, a Maronite, Israel reacted by quickly occupying West Beirut — ostensibly to prevent militia attacks against the Palestinian civilians. Israel had initially hoped that Gemayal would turn Lebanon into a Christian-ruled ally and neighbor, but with the growing militant presence of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, Israel sought to intervene.
The documents convey heated discussions and repeated miscommunication between Israeli and US officials.
One such transcript between then-US Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger and Israeli Moshe Arens, ambassador to the US at the time of the massacres, shows a heated discussion over Israeli policy in Beirut.
Eagleburger stated: "We got the impression your action would be of limited nature. Now we find you are across West Beirut. You know we objected to you going in."
Eagleburger continued, “Israel’s credibility has been severely damaged” and “we appear to some to be the victim of deliberate deception by Israel.”
Israel invaded it's northern neighbor in June in order to weed out the Palestinian Liberation Organization. The withdrawal of the PLO was negotiated by then president Ronald Reagan, who agreed to deploy Marine forces to supervise their departure. By early September, around 15,000 Palestinian fighters, including PLO chairman Yasser Arafat, had left Beirut.
Contrary to American objections, then-defense minister Ariel Sharon said the occupation of West Beirut was justified because there were “2,000 to 3,000 terrorists who remained there.”
In the same meeting, US Middle East envoy Morris Draper and Sharon debated the issue, with Draper stating: "We want you to stay out. We spent three months trying to get as many of the terrorists out as possible - safely. That was the arrangement. So it wouldn't be necessary for you to come in."
Mr. Draper disputed Sharon's claim about the number of terrorists, having coordinated the August evacuation, he knew the actual number of militias in the camp.
On the eve of the massacre, the Israeli cabinet met and was informed that Phalange fighters were entering the Palestinian camps. The newly declassified documents chronicle a conversation between the US secretary of state, George P. Shultz, and Moshe Arens after US officials were informed of the massacre.
Shultz stated: "When you take military control over a city, you're responsible for what happens. I didn't say you wanted this. But what happened rests in your hands."
He continued: "Against everybody's advise, you've taken military control of the city. Now we have a massacre. So we urge you as soon as possible to hand over control to the Lebanese, and to leave West Beirut as soon as possible."
Anziska concludes from the documents that the United States was in a position to exert strong diplomatic pressure on Israel that could have ended the atrocities, yet failed to do so.
The declassified documents also reveal steadfastness and determination on the Israeli side to act unilaterally, in spite of US verbal protests to the contrary.
Sharon stated to Draper in one meeting: "When it comes to our security, we have never asked [permission]. We will never ask. When it comes to our existence and security, it is our responsibility and we will never give it to anybody to decide for us."

- Ghanaian prophet Nigel Gaisie has predicted that a top musician will die soon
- He reportedly stated this at a church program, where he shared his plans to contact the person
- Prophet Nigel Gaisie is well known for making prophecies and predictions
Founder and chief of True Phrase Hearth Prophetic Ministries, Prophet Nigel Gaisie has claimed that a top Ghanaian musician will die in December.
He shared this with his congregation during a church program in which he stated that the musician is one of the top stars and he must pray about. He revealed that he will reach out to the person as the devil was seriously on his case.
The prophet has in the past made prophecies and predictions. He was reported to have stated that President Buhari will lose the 2019 elections. He also once confessed that women are his weakest points as he is easily attracted to women.
Speaking to his congregation, he said: “I saw a big star who is a musician and I saw that he will die before December 31st. The Lord gave me his details and Musiga must pray about it.
“It will shock the whole world, so I will pray for the person and try to reach out to that person. The devil is on their case, this musician I saw is one of the most top musicians.
“In the study of ethnomusicology, I have not seen his class. He is close to death and I urge you all to be prayerful”
Meanwhile, controversial Ghanaian pastor, Obinim, recently fired all the junior pastors in his church.
In a video sighted by Legit.ng Obinim said he could no longer work with them. He was seen wearing a beautiful blue shirt over a pair of white trousers standing on the platform.
Obinim then called out to the pastors, asking each and every one of them to come forward. They did, only for him to announce sadly to them that he could not work with them anymore.He revealed that all of them were not pastors before joining him.

Existing CareDox investors include First Round Capital, Charles River Ventures, Band of Angels, and Giza Ventures. The company raised its previous round in August 2014.
Schools and parents can use CareDox’s online and mobile-enabled system to store students’ data. Academic institutions' health providers will have access to a student’s immunization records, medical history, allergies, medications, and special dietary needs. CareDox believes this platform will help parents avoid filling out forms with this data every year before school starts.
The platform syncs with the student information system (SIS), the State Immunization Registry, and providers' EMRs. It also offers tools for nurses to help them with enrollment, approvals, daily visits, medications, screenings, and secure messaging, which they can use to communicate with parents.
Parents have control over who can see the data in their CareDox account and some potential viewers could be nurses, teachers, camp leaders, daycare admins, cafeteria staff, administrators, coaches, bus drivers, and principals.
The company created CareDox from another product, called MotherKnows, which was an online health record service that allowed parents to view their child’s medical records via the web or mobile applications. In 2011, MotherKnows raised $1.7 million in seed funding. At the time, the company’s plans for the product included targeting other consumer groups with specific health needs, such as home health care, and extended families.
Then in March 2012, the company joined StartUp Health’s three-year accelerator alongside Basis and Medivo. | <urn:uuid:1539f317-8ad0-4908-a0a7-de2b01c3e2b2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.mobihealthnews.com/43988/caredox-raises-900k-for-web-based-health-records-for-schools | 2019-07-19T16:31:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526324.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719161034-20190719183034-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.945541 | 336 |
“The turtles are hatching today,” announces an excited Famau Shukri of Lamu Marine Conservation Trust ( LaMCoT) over the phone. With exciting news like this first thing in the morning, I organise the rest of my group for a sudden trip to Shela, the village next to Lamu Stone Town, to meet up with Shukri.
Things look a little grey as the skies over Lamu Stone Town open up and pour. Would the little turtles really want to hatch in the rain? I ponder. Meanwhile, as we wait for the rain to stop, the silversmith’s shop looks enticing – and we go in and take a look. Just as suddenly as the rain began, out pops a blue sky and we were on our way in a small motorboat named ‘Uber’.
Meeting up with Shukri at the Shela seafront, we then sail across the Lamu channel that divides the two islands of Lamu and Manda. A dhow laden with coral bricks sails past at full mast.
Sprangled roots of the mangroves pattern the narrow maze of creeks along the beach at low tide on the beautiful afternoon. We climb up the narrow path through a glade of acacias to reach the homesteads of the Orma. Several of them now work for LaMCoT as guardians of the turtle nests. In the past, these same men happily raided the nests for the turtle eggs for food.
We follow Shukri and the turtle guardians down the dune and the most magical view comes into a sight. A vast open ocean meeting the sky and above the high water mark. The Orma ranger and Shukri begin unearthing the turtle nest, wearing surgical gloves so as not to imprint their human mark on the newly hatched.
Out pop the little turtles and with their little flippers, cross the sandy beach and then vanish into the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean with a rainbow arched across the sky. It’s surreal.
Marine turtles are critically endangered across the globe. This ancient mariner of the oceans has outlived the dinosaur but now faces increasingly more challenges. Out of every 1,000 hatched, only one makes it to adult hood. Their life is fraught with predators including snakes and monitor lizards raiding the nests; birds and crabs waiting to swallow the little babes; fishing nets, poachers, big ships and clearing mangrove forests and beaches for building ports and the proposed coal-fired power plant.
But with groups like LaMCoT, life for the turtle is better as it patrols the turtle nests on Shela and Manda Island.
“Since the project began in 1997, our turtles’ survival rate is 10 out of 1000,” says Shukri. “This year, we have had six nests in Shela and 10 on Manda.”
Over 4,500 turtles that were caught accidentally in fishing nets, have been tagged and released back into the ocean. “Our tagged turtles have been sighted in Madagascar, Mozambique, South Africa and even up to Asia,” says Shukri.
Interesting facts about turtles of Lamu and Manda Islands.
The green turtle is the most common turtle species in Lamu, followed by the Hawksbill and Olive Ridley species. Rarely seen are the Leatherback and Loggerhead.
Green turtles live up to 80 to 100 years. The mother/females will return to the beach they were laid on to lay their nests.

Emmerdale star Chris Bisson has revealed that he almost quit the soap over fears that all plotline possibilities for his character Jai Sharma had been exhausted.
“There were very frank conversations between me and the producer in which we said, ‘have we gone too far and is time to call it a day? Or do we redeem him?'” the actor said.
Jai’s underhand tactics and tendency to kidnap people and lock them in shipping containers left Bisson feeling that there were no further avenues to explore: “On the trajectory he was on, Jai was unsustainable on the show. But we came to the conclusion that he wasn’t actually a bad character.”
Since those crisis talks, Jai has been somewhat rehabilitated, thanks to his attendance at Narcotics Anonymous sessions and his befriending of fellow ex-addict Nell.
Recent episodes have seen the vulnerable Nell confess that she has a baby who was taken away to be adopted, a state of affairs with which Jai can empathise, having himself lost custody of his son Archie.
Added Bisson: “Nell’s situation resonates with Jai because he’s out a kid – Archie is out there in Liverpool or wherever he may be. So this is something which Jai is quite passionate about.
“There are a lot of connections between Jai and Nell – things which pull them together and reasons for them to understand each other.”

One in seven men will get prostate cancer, but the odds are much higher for African-Americans. Not only are black men more likely to get it, they’re more likely to die from it. But it doesn’t have to happen.
“I never really paid attention to it, because like most men I figured it wouldn’t happen to me.”
Like many, Marcus Paige heard of prostate cancer but didn’t really give it a second thought until he found out he had it.
“Right then I lost it,” he said, “I was like, my whole life flashed in front of me. Self-pity started pouring out and I was like why. He was still talking but I wasn’t paying attention, cancer just shut down everything.”
There are no symptoms for prostate cancer. But there are risk factors. One: family history. Two: being African-American. Marcus falls into both of those categories. His father had prostate cancer.
“I was 40 when I was diagnosed.”
Erick was diagnosed at a young age. He and Marcus are brothers.
“When I found out that he had it, it shook me too because I knew there were two members in my immediate family that were diagnosed and I felt real uneasy myself,” Erick said.
“Prostate cancer is a very bigoted disease. We don’t know why, but black men die twice the rate of white men,” said Jim Williams.
Williams is a cancer survivor. He’s also the chairman of the Pennsylvania Prostate Cancer Coalition. He says black men need to pay better attention to their health.
“We don’t go to the doctor until we’re sick,” he said, “As you age waiting until there’s some signs might be too late.”
“I was the one that got on them. I said you guys need to get checked,” said Marcus.
Marcus and Erick’s brother Aaron followed that advice. He too was diagnosed with prostate cancer. But convincing others to get tested wasn’t as easy. There’s a perception it makes you less of a man.
“A real man does get checked, a real man does have his prostate checked, he doesn’t worry about the procedure or what you have to go through,” said Marcus, “If he cares about himself and he cares about his family he’ll get it done, that’s a real man.”
All three of the Paige men had surgery to remove their prostates. At times it was a struggle.
“I had a part of my body removed from me, men are like babies at times,” said Erick, “We want to portray a strong image, but inside we’re quaking and shaking.”
Erick says his family and faith pulled him through.
“I’m great now,” he said, “I get my checkups every year. I’m even past the 5 year point now.”
“I didn’t suffer any kind of letdown or depression or anything like that,” said Aaron, “I knew it was something that had to be done, I got it done. Hopefully I have no more cancer.”
Williams says until black men talk about this disease, they won’t be able to defeat it. He talks about it wherever he can, even at the barber shop.
“The audience is not happy about this,” said Williams, “They wanted to come and talk about all other things, the last thing they want to talk about is prostate cancer. But once the conversation starts it’s very very good.”
Marcus says it’s a conversation that will save your life.
“Basically what it all comes down to, self-awareness and not being afraid. Fear will put you in the ground.”
The Pennsylvania Prostate Cancer Coalition says spreading the word about prostate cancer is key.

Instagram: Why your kids love to use it
By now, you've heard of Instagram, the popular photo-sharing app owned by Facebook and incredibly popular among the younger crowd.
The premise of Instagram is pretty simple: take a picture, jazz it up with a variety of filters, add a caption, then share.
It's the reason your kids might stop eating their meal to take a picture of it, or why you might see others fascinated by a cup of cappuccino.
But because it's social media, parents should be aware of some of the pitfalls associated with using Instagram.
Here's everything you need to know:
What is Instagram?
It's a social media app where users can share pictures. When it launched in 2010, what set Instagram apart was the ability to add filters to images to make them more appealing, a feature since copied by several rivals. Over time, Instagram has introduced features such as video, hashtags to organize photos by topic, and stories — where users add a series of photos or videos summarizing their day that disappear after 24 hours.
How popular is it?
Instagram boasts 800 million users, with an astounding 500 million using the service daily.
It is particularly popular among teens. According to a 2016 poll of teens from research firm Piper Jaffray, Instagram is considered the second most popular social network behind only Snapchat.
Why is Instagram such a huge deal?
Instagram is very simple. Take a pic, add a filter and caption, publish. That's all you need to do to share on Instagram. Also, like most social media, there's the obsession with bumping up your follower counts with the coolest images.
There's a heavy celebrity influence here, too. Lots of famous people from actors to athletes use it, including Selena Gomez and Beyoncé.
And if you are really good at Instagram, you can even make money.
Should I worry about my kids using it?
Like many social networks, users can reach out to each on Instagram through comments made on posts or via private messages. This opens up users to harassment and bullying. Of course, if your profile is public, users could also get messages from people they don't know.
Also, because Instagram is image driven, there's the possibility your kids share stuff (or find stuff) not appropriate for public view.
Specific to Instagram, a study was released in May claiming the app was the worst for your mental health, claiming it fuels loneliness and anxiety as well as reinforces negative body images.
How can I protect them?
One benefit to Instagram is the developers offer plenty of options for users to control their experience. In settings, you have the option to set your account to private. This allows users to approve or decline followers when they send a request, similar to Facebook.
Users also have greater control over comments. On public profiles, you can block users from making comments on posts. You can also set filters to prohibit offensive language on your posts.
Another thing to check for: location sharing. If you're concerned about kids sharing their whereabouts, have a discussion about what that means.
Kids must be 13 or older to use Instagram, according to the app's guidelines. Instagram posts its own parents guide for users with questions.

Have you seen the latest Alexis Bloomer's "Dear Elders, I'm sorry." video? I recently asked our students to describe their generation to me. They had a lot to say about their generation: prideful, greedy, materialistic, disrespectful, self-centered, entitled, irresponsible, over-indulgent, lazy... The list went on and on.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 reads, "But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."
"Last days" refers to any time since Christ's resurrection. In other words, generations have been making the same observation about one another since the church began. For example, our elders were concerned about the Flappers, Hippies, Baby Boomers, Gen X, and now Gen Y-Millenials. So, what is it that elders really object to in the younger generations? Could it be that they are observing what the Bible refers to as "worldliness" and that technology added to this is worldliness on steroids?
Galatians 5:19-21 refers to a different kind of worldliness as "the flesh." "Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry.... strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions... and things like these…" And then verses 22-24 describe that the opposite of worldliness is godliness which is evident as the fruit of the Spirit. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires."
Our students recognized that we are called to be counter-cultural... in the world, not of it (Romans 12:2). As one student said, "[2 Timothy 3] verse 5 says to avoid such men." Covenant's culture seeks to be defined by biblical principles that are God honoring and timeless.
As a school, we are committed to pursue godliness together. I love these students (and whatever you call their generation) and the work that we do together. Thank you, Covenant parents, for giving me the privilege of working with your children.
May these words be true, "This is the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face, O God of Jacob" Psalm 24:6 (NIV) | <urn:uuid:2ed18a15-ad81-4d4b-9a4d-d09a04847f2e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://covenantcypress.org/dear-elders-im-sorry | 2019-07-20T22:33:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.951126 | 607 |

TO FINALLY BE MARKED AFTER 150 YEARS
The soldiers buried in the unmarked graves outside Ft. Pulaski died of depravations during their stay at the fort as POW’s following the federal capture of Pulaski during the late War Between the States. The Immortal Six Hundred were a group of Confederate officers held as POW’s who organized their own relief organization to seek food and medical care for fellow POW’s while the War was still being waged against the South. In accordance with laws passed by the United States Congress, all Confederate veterans are to be afforded the same status as the veterans of other American wars. Union veterans buried on the grounds of National Parks are marked with permanent marble or granite headstones recognizing their names and units of service; likewise all other known Confederate veterans buried in those parks are marked in the same manner. At Pulaski, the Union veterans who were buried there during the War were disinterred immediately following the conflict and reinterred in a cemetery; these few Confederate veterans buried at Pulaski outside the moat remain, reportedly, the last remaining unmarked known graves of veterans in a National Park. The National Park Service at first sought to mark the graves in question with wooden markers similar to those used by the federal government for veterans in the historical period immediately following the War. It was not until the Sons of Confederate Veterans historians pointed out that the Veterans Administration abandoned wooden headboards for the graves of veterans more than a hundred years ago in favor of the more permanent marble and granite stones now used that the correct current plans could be made.
Since it’s formation in 1896, the Sons of Confederate Veterans has been commissioned by its predecessor organization, the United Confederate Veterans (comprised of the actual veterans, themselves) with preserving the history and heritage of the Confederate soldier. The Georgia Division is among the largest and most active state organization within the SCV. A date has not yet been set for the installation of the permanent markers for these last remaining unmarked graves of veterans at Pulaski, but the Sons are moving forward with the National Park Service in completing the project before the end of the Sesquicentennial commemoration of the War.
For more information or to have the SCV present an educational program for your event, please contact Jack Bridwell, Division Commander for the Georgia Sons of Confederate Veterans at 1-866-SCV-in-GA or view information online at www.GeorgiaSCV.org. | <urn:uuid:1485c4b4-df0d-42b1-83a6-67f17de2fdaa> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://gascv.org/veterans-graves-marked-in-national-park-after-150-years/ | 2019-07-20T22:07:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.958651 | 502 |

Under new FTC rules which take effect December 8, Internet retailers must ship your merchandise within a “reasonable timeframe” or within 30 days if they can’t give you a date. If they can’t meet that target, they must get your permission for additional time or provide an immediate refund.
An Engadget article about the rule change suggests holiday shoppers can breathe a bit easier with the rule change and mentions the “scores of gift givers whose packages arrived late last year.” With the new vendor requirements taking effect in early December and merchants still having 30 days to fulfill your order, the best strategy seems to be not waiting until the last minute to complete your shopping. If you did order early and shipment has been delayed, you may want to come up with a backup plan, like trying to get the item elsewhere and canceling the first order.

California restaurant encourages one-star Yelp reviews
In a defiant move against the fickle world of online reviews, a restaurant in California has begun encouraging customers to leave poor reviews on Yelp.
Yelp has denied that it tweaks reviews based on whether a business advertises on Yelp, though a court ruling said they legally could do so. A co-owner of the restaurant, Botto Bistro, feels that advertising with Yelp made a difference in which reviews the site displayed, and decided to fight back with the one-star campaign in hopes of getting removed from the site. The Italian restaurant’s mocking of Yelp hasn’t gotten it booted from the site, but it has generated nationwide attention with an article in USAToday.
According to the USAToday article, some customers have really jumped on board, such as one who posted, “”I have been here at least 20 times and it is still terrible.” | <urn:uuid:7c1ecbdd-b6f2-49b9-9b60-f5835418aa47> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://livingwithbeth.com/weekly-wow-09-22-14/ | 2019-07-20T22:53:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.950739 | 581 |

I visited Papua New Guinea in the early 90's when there was rebels and fighting and danger. There was a sliver of hope given by a man who was the black sheep in the town (or was it the white sheep?). He used Great Expectations to mesmerize the village and take their mind off the awful and potential of more awful things going on. It is told through the eyes of a little girl. It was a wonderfully written book, and did not end in Papua New Guinea. I recommend it.

Giant Water Geyser Shoots Up Out Of A Manhole Cover
In this video there is a two way highway with a manhole cover between the two lanes. It's raining and all of a sudden a huge geyser of water shoots up out of the manhole cover. One of the passing cars gets hit by the flying manhole cover. The geyser dies down and then near the end of the video it does it again.

Darth Vader Helmet Made Into Hot Air Balloon In This Photo
Here's a custom project where a guy made a hot air balloon shaped like Darth Vader's head. The article about it is somewhat light on details but it does say they sent a 3D object file to the hot air balloon manufacturers and then made custom modifications once they received the final balloon.

Guy Solo Plays A Piece By Mozart On A Violin In An Unconventional Way
Here's a pretty unconventional performance by a guy who's name I think is Gilles Apap. He's performing a piece by Mozart on a violin by himself. The unconventional part is that along with playing the violin he also whistles, sings, strums the violin like a ukulele, and plays a beat on the violin with his fingers. The best part is the look on the faces of the orchestra around him. They have varying looks between amazement, embarrassment, and astonishment as if they can't believe this guy is on the same stage as themselves at the same time that they are amazed at the sound he is producing.

Cave Man Learns The Consequences Of Not Using Fedex In This Commercial
Here is a commercial for Fedex featuring cave men and dinosaurs. The one cave man puts his package on a flying dinosaur and sends it off. The problem is a T-Rex eats the flying dinosaur and the message. So the cave man goes back to the cave man boss and tells him the package didn't back it. The boss asks him if he used Fedex (which he didn't) and then tells him he's fired. The cave man can't believe it because Fedex 'doesn't exist yet'. He stomps off out of the cave where he gets crushed by a giant dinosaur.

Here is a blog article which contains a stream of photos picturing one largest moveable man made machine in the world. Apparently it is an open mining machine in Germany. The article talks about how they had to move it from one mine area to another and it can only move in a straight line so they had to drive it over roads and train tracks. Once it got to the new mine it had a mishaps where it got a bulldozer caught in it's giant mining wheen (pictured).

14 Year Old In Nepal Is Only 20 Inchs Tall And Could Be Smallest Man In World
So this is one of the many photos of the 14 year old from Nepal who is only 20 inchs tall. Apparently he has to wait until he is 18 before he can be submitted to the Guinness Book of World Records for the smallest man in the world record. His name is Khagendra Thapa Magar and this photo has him standing next to his brother who is younger than he is. There are multiple other photos of this guy over on Yahoo as well. Again this just demonstrates that most myths are based on fact such as Tom Thumb who probably did exist and was similar to this guy.
Head over to Yahoo and view the full sized photo of this minature guy plus other photos of him.Read More >>

Blast From The Past Author Predicts The Next 50 Years From 1881 To 1931
Here is a book that I saw over on Google Books which was published in 1881. It is a futurist prediction of the time between 1881 and 1931. The author makes quite a few good preditions but also is a bit over optimistic is some of his other predictions. For example, some of his predictions which did not come to pass were that by 1931 racism would cease to exist, France and Germany would have peacefully resolved their differences over the Rhineland, and the failure of man to be able to fly. Some of the things which he predicted which did happen were the Panama Canal (he names three places where a canal would probably be built), the death of the telegraph and rise of the telephone, prohibition, the fall of Russia to communism around 1900 (though he predicted it would be peaceful), fax machines, and a bunch of other predictions. It's quite a few pages and I think I got to around 40 pages or so.
Head over and check out the book with predictions from 1881 for yourself.Read More >>

Classic Video Games Depictred In Stop Motion Video Of Household Objects
In this video someone out there on the interweb took the time to create stop motion homages to old video games like Pac-Man, Frogger, and Space Invaders. The items in the stop motion video are all from around the house like sponges, toys, cupcakes, salt shakers, leaves, bugs, rocks, etc. First up it features Centipede using cupcakes, muffins, birthday candles, and salt shakers. They did a pretty good job capturing the gameplay in all of them. Next up is Frogger which uses sponges, sequence, watchs, pretzels, and other such items to create a pretty accurate depiction of Frogger even down to the high score. Next up is Asteroids, Space Invaders, and finally Pac-Man where Pac-Man is played by a pizza.

Sit next to someone new in every session and introduce yourself. Also, follow up with the students and professionals you network with. You would be surprised how many people don’t actually follow up with an email or LinkedIn invitation. It’s a gesture that goes a long way and makes you stand out among your peers.
Take time to explore the city and get a feel for the local culture. Get enough sleep but beyond that, get out of your hotel room and go do things! Be sure to take some breaks throughout the weekend to exercise or turn your brain off for a bit so that you stay energized! Also, make sure to meet everyone on the National Committee and personally thank the staff from Headquarters and the Conference Committee for their hard work.
Map out what sessions you are most interested in and research the companies that will be at Conference. Look at the schedule on your flight or drive to Boston and make a note of those that interest you. By mapping out the sessions, you will be able to spend more time networking with professionals. This will ensure you leave a great impression on professionals — who knows, one of them may end up being your future employer. Take advantage of this awesome opportunity!
My Chapter’s attendees look at the schedule to ensure we have someone attending every session so that we can cover it on our social media and blog. This way everyone at home can follow along with everything National Conference. Be sure to take a lot of notes but also be sure to send a tweet or two using the official hashtag, #PRSSANC. Speakers love when you quote them on social media!
Business cards are essential. Your network will expand exponentially over the weekend so get ready to hand out cards, as well as take them in. I suggest having business cards in a few different places that are easy to access. Be sure to bring at least 100. If you haven’t made your cards yet, make sure they stick out while expressing your personal brand. Variations of color, size and stock are all recommended. Pro tip: If you really want someone to remember you, have similarly designed thank you cards ready and waiting for you to personalize and send out when you get back!
After meeting a new PRSSA member or professional, jot down a few notes from your conversation on the back of their business card. This will help you create stronger connections, as well as make you more memorable in the follow-up email. Also, if you are interested in running for a National Committee position next year, this is your time to ask questions that can help you with your decision!
If you are attending conference alone, take every opportunity to socialize. Don’t wait for people to approach you. It can be intimidating at first, especially if you are alone or come from a smaller Chapter. However, everyone is friendly and eager to network. These connections will be some of your best resources during this trip. They also will help you make memories that you will never forget!
The great thing about National Conference is that PRSA ICON is happening at the same time. Utilize your sponsor Chapter and professional connections to introduce you to people in their networks. You never know who you will meet. Chapter presidents — this is the most valuable time to get tips and tricks from other Chapters. Take some of their best practices and use them when you get home. Most of all, be excited! You’re going to learn a ton and make friends along the way.
Networking is one of the PR tools we love to utilize. The people you meet here will be your friends, colleagues, competition and inspiration for your professional career. This field is relationship based. Build these now and they will last a lifetime. Also, take time to meet with your closest Regional Conference hosts. Now is a great time to start planning where you will be heading in the spring!
It was through my first National Conference that I learned I wanted to be more involved on the national and regional level. Make sure to meet members of the Chapters in your state. A benefit of being close to one another is you know what works in your region and can even drop in on their meetings! If you think you might want to become more involved on the national level, try writing for Progressions or consider running for a national committee position next year.

In honor of the first grade trip to the art museum, here is an art-museum dinner. Happy Face Meatloaf.
Here's the how to:
Mix your favorite meatloaf recipe.
This is mine: Mix 2 pounds of ground turkey with 3 eggs, some ketchup and a nice amount of bread crumbs or matzah meals. See, not really a recipe. That's why you should use your own recipe.
I flattened the meat mixture down into a 9x13 pan. I drew a happy face and some hearts on top, using ketchup. Bake, covered, at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and keep baking until cooked through, maybe another 20 minutes or so.
I showed the finished meatloaf to my son. He said it looked "okay, but mommy did you know that in real art museums they have naked people and you can see their whole tushes!?" It might be time to learn the word "statue". | <urn:uuid:5d6d0a09-0b48-4a2b-881c-d9649aca403c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://thecrumbfactory.weebly.com/blog/happy-face-meatloaf | 2019-07-20T22:29:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.951308 | 204 |

With partners from six countries from the European Union and Western Balkans, CDT will initiate a public debate in memory of 1917 and its reflections on a current situation and countries.
Within the programme “Europe for citizens“, with support of the European commission, we will discuss with citizens essential historical, political and cultural aspects of a previous hundred-year period with desire to talk about future through a dialogue about past.
Our primary goal is to demonstrate that Europe does not consist only of a bureaucratic negotiation process or obligations which countries have in this process. Also, not only amounts of money which we will receive from the EU funds or knowledge about the creation of the European Union make us European, but also a system of democratic and cultural values which has been creating for centuries. These values will be a focus of our project.
Through public debates on social and political revolutions, fall of empires and their influence on political and historical course of Europe after 1917, citizens from seven countries (Montenegro, Serbia, Croatia, Belgium, Poland, Italy and Hungary) will be reminded of significance of events from 1917 for the European values and its positive and negative horizons.
We want to initiate a dialogue, which will affirm a way of thinking that everything can be overcome and a new future and cooperation can start even after perennial cruel wars and conflicts, expressed rivalries among the European countries and millions of dead and injured people.
We want to remind ourselves of the fact how then events gave birth to the creation of many fundamental European values.
Our goal is to bring back memories related to the last years of the World War Two when Europe was at bottom, but also these years surprisingly led to solving of many significant issues which were in another plan: right to vote, labour rights, women’s rights and many other significant issues.
Through a set of different public debates, TV shows, documentary stories, exhibitions of photographs from that period, our plan is to tell the story of the European values. | <urn:uuid:d2319a63-9ab7-49d0-b9c5-f526973498e5> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.en.cdtmn.org/2017/10/11/european-remembrance-1917-2017/ | 2019-07-20T22:32:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.950422 | 401 |
Catherine Lecomte is one of the youngest professional photographers in Shenzhen and specializes in portrait and family photos.
Born in New York and raised in New Hampshire, Lecomte found her passion through the biggest loss of her life. At 14, Lecomte lost her father to a heart attack. She tried to stay connected to him through his collection of cameras and video recorders.
She would go around taking photos of anything and everything. The subject didn’t matter, the output and the ability to capture a certain color, shade of light or expression was what Lecomte cared about.
In 2010, Lecomte earned a scholarship to Savannah College of Art and Design, where she studied photography for four years.
In 2014, a friend from her university invited her to teach art and start a photography program at a training center in Hunan Province.
Lecomte had always wanted to travel and explore the world. She arrived in China in 2015. Unfortunately, due to the low number of students, the photography program never took off. Lecomte quit her job upon completion of her one-year contract.
In the fall of 2016, Lecomte decided to come to Shenzhen after a good friend, who recently moved to Shenzhen, told her how good the city was for expats.
Lecomte started by teaching art to kindergarteners as a way to transition back into the world.
In 2017, she started her own photography business. She began by offering free two-hour photography classes for beginners and small group photo walks for a small fee. The response was overwhelming. She could get as many as 25 to 30 students for one class. Within three months, she was hired for her first paid photoshoot.
Lecomte has since done dozens of photo shoots and is known as the go-to photographer for portraits and family shoots.
Lecomte finds Shenzhen a very balanced city with equal parts of technology, nature, locals, expats, noise and quietness. She is planning on opening her own studio in Shenzhen and sees herself living here happily for the foreseeable future. | <urn:uuid:b93ac2c5-3747-4524-ab20-7f8bee308028> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.eyeshenzhen.com/content/2019-03/25/content_21500415.htm | 2019-07-20T22:16:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.983121 | 445 |
A group of mechanical engineering students at Yale have come up with a bike that has a spokeless design, leaving a disturbing gap in the middle of the back wheel that looks suitably futuristic.
The students had to use existing technology and good old fashioned mechanical knowhow to create the bike and in its current state the design still relies on having a front wheel that is identical to the basic technology used on bikes around the world.
The back wheel is not driven by a central gear connected to a chain and then the pedals. Instead the pedals drive a second, smaller wheel which transfers its energy to the main wheel and causes forward motion.
According to the students, the only reason that they did not create a spokeless design on the front and back was the limitation of time. They had just a single term to work on the bike and this restricted them to creating just one spokeless wheel rather than two.
The students said that although the prototype requires the user to pedal in order to move forward, there is enough flexibility in the design to allow for the integration of an electric motor in future versions.
As with all good inventions, the design of the spokeless bike is relatively simple and does not require the basic shape and size of a bicycle to change in any way, so we could well see some commercial versions of this invention coming to the market in the future. | <urn:uuid:40a03ac4-9075-4c58-ac7c-ed71ab2a182d> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.gadgetsandgizmos.org/us-university-students-invent-spokeless-bicycle/ | 2019-07-20T22:43:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.974702 | 275 |

We consider the fiscal multiplier and spillover in an environment in which two countries are caught simultaneously in a liquidity trap. Using an optimizing two-country sticky price model, we show that the fiscal multiplier and spillover are contrary to those predicted in textbook economics. For the country with government expenditure, the fiscal multiplier exceeds one, the currency depreciates, and the terms of trade worsen. The fiscal spillover is negative if the intertemporal elasticity of substitution in consumption is less than one and positive if the parameter is greater than one. Incomplete stabilization of marginal costs due to the existence of the zero lower bound is a crucial factor in understanding the effects of fiscal policy in open economies.
Keywords: Zero lower bound; two-country model; fiscal policy; beggar-thy-neighbor

The last several decades have seen an increase in popularity (and marketing) of what are called self ligating braces (brackets). Not unique to one manufacturer, self ligating braces include Empower (American Orthodontics), Damon (Ormco), Smart Clip (3M Unitek), and In-Ovation (GAC Dentsply) among many others. Basically, self ligating brackets use a permanently installed, moveable component to hold the archwire in place instead of removable elastics or steel ties.
The manufacturers of these braces have made many claims regarding the advantages of using these braces, including increased comfort during treatment, increased efficiency, shorter treatment times, and improved oral hygiene. When presented with products with such heavily marketed claims (and which are inevitably more expensive for the orthodontist and our patients), I have to examine the evidence carefully when deciding if I want to offer them to my patients here at Meadows Orthodontics. For ethical reasons, I personally try to make as many decisions as possible using an evidence-based approach. This approach certainly applies to how these braces are presented.
A recent article in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics addressed the major claims to these brackets. The findings by the American Association of Orthodontists’ Council on Scientific Affairs (COSA) are very useful in determining the merits to these claims. First and foremost, the article reviews the tenants for an evidence-based orthodontics practice, and states, “Adherence to the tenants of evidence-based orthodontic practice requires that, for any orthodontic intervention applied to a patient, 3 factors must be integrated: the relevant scientific evidence, the clinicians expertise, and the patient’s needs and preferences.” (Note that manufacturers claims and marketing are not among these factors!).
Let’s take a look at what COSA determined (the complete article can be found here). “ 9 of the 14 claims regarding self ligation bracket systems have some peer-reviewed data, but the evidence does not indicate clear differences at this time for reduced friction between arch wire and bracket, reduced clinical forces, reduced treatment time, faster alignment, faster space closure, different arch dimensions, better alignment and occlusal (bite) outcomes, less patient pain, and more hygienic. Three of the 14 claims- lateral expansion leading to bone growth, lateral expansion is comparable to expansion using RPE (expander) and conventional brackets, and stability of lateral expansion long term- have no supporting peer-reviewed data currently. Only two of the 14 claims- mandibular incisor inclination, and time in “untying” the braces, were found to have significant differences.
What does this mean for an orthodontic patient of mine? First, most of these self-ligating braces are great products, and I can achieve great results by choosing to use them. But I treat the vast majority of my patients without self ligating braces, due to the fact that 1) the scientific evidence to support the “marketed” advantages of these braces is lacking, 2) I have used these braces extensively, and have found no clinical advantage for my patients (although they did finish equal to traditional braces), and 3) the vast majority of my patients do not prefer these systems, even though they are presented as an option. What it comes down to is two things: 1) Kids and teens love the color ties that are the “ligation” in traditional braces (and that self ligation braces eliminate), and 2) these systems are significantly more expensive, and most of my patients prefer not to pay more for a product with no real or perceived added value. For patients with esthetic concerns, ceramic braces (traditional and self ligating) with clear ties and Invisalign are the treatment of choice for adults and older teens -you don’t need to have bright colors!
I hope this helps clarify questions that you may have had regarding this issue. I will be posting a series of articles that examine a number of orthodontic topics, and how the current scientific evidence shapes my decisions at Meadows Orthodontics.

A few weeks ago, we questioned who was going to hold the ForeclosureFraud law firms responsible for their actions — back then, the Attorney General was seeking to look through the files of a Florida law firm that was fighting hard to protect those files from scrutiny.
Interestingly, the argument put forth by the law firm against seeing those files wasn’t based upon attorney-client privilege. The lawyers (Shapiro & Fishman) were arguing that the AG wasn’t the right party to do the investigation. The lawyers argued that the right authority to go through law firm files in search of illegal deceptive trade practices was the Florida Bar.
Today, there are several parties investigating these law firms for wrongdoing: the Federal Bureau of Investigation, lawyers representing plaintiffs, and the Florida Bar are all asserting their legal rights to look at the law firm paperwork to see what wrongs they may have committed. Everyone knows this is all going to take awhile, but it is a necessary step in order to restore and preserve the integrity of the judicial system. (For more information, check out the Florida Bar’s Weathering Florida’s Foreclosure Crisis webpage.)
Florida Trial Court Judges Are Tired of Waiting: “Fraud on the Court”
This week, the Sun Sentinel reported on the huge burden that Foreclosure Fraud is having on the Florida trial courts — and how savvy Florida judges are taking swift action to deal with the problem. With Circuit Court Judge Maxine Cohen Lando leading the way, foreclosure cases are being dismissed with lenders being banned from refiling them.
Rather than face months and months of congested dockets and overwhelming workloads because bank lawyers are filing unreliable foreclosure documentation, trial judges are using their powers to follow Judge Lando’s lead, awarding homes to owners and barring lenders from attempting to foreclose again (e.g., Miami Dade’s Judge Jennifer Bailey); to dismiss foreclosure actions (albeit with the ability of the bank to refile if they can get it right); or to throw out summary judgments already on the books (e.g., Pinellas County’s Judge Anthony Rondolino).
Florida Judges’ Swift Action; What Does It Mean to Those Wronged in Foreclosure Fraud?
If you’ve been wronged because of foreclosure fraud– and there are new versions of wrongful foreclosures popping up all the time — then why should you care about this? Well, if you are a homeowner facing foreclosure, then a lawsuit in front of these savvy trial judges may turn out differently than what you think or what you have heard or read about in the past. These judges may be almost as frustrated and angry at your bank as you are.
And, the silver lining: the lawyers who ignored the law – forged documents, failed to read documents (robosigning), disrespecting longstanding real estate law and precedent – may well end up being held responsible for the Foreclosure Fraud that so many in Florida have experienced. How?
Courts can sanction these lawyers – Marc Ben-Ezra, founding partner of Ben-Ezra & Katz P.A, being held in contempt is one example – and the Florida Bar can discipline them. However, in the bigger picture while homeowners cannot sue those bank lawyers for wrongful acts (maybe), those banks clearly can.
No one should be surprised when these banks, who have their cases barred or dismissed by angry judges, take those damages and file lawsuits against their former lawyers for legal malpractice. Sure, it may mean more cases for those overburdened Judges and the court docket — but you can bet that these Bank vs. Lawyer lawsuits will have all their i’s dotted and their t’s crossed. | <urn:uuid:935db480-cbbb-4342-a259-5a59c53dbdbb> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://aboutfloridalaw.com/2011/04/05/will-lawyers-for-the-banks-be-the-ones-to-pay-for-all-the-florida-foreclosure-fraud-maybe/ | 2019-07-20T22:09:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.967106 | 767 |

Though, it would be cool if it would.
Sorry about posting this, I just needed to rant somewhere.
So, some of you may know I live with my sister.
(incompetent, too lazy to walk her dog, annoying, loud, but still my sister)
Well, lately, when I feed the cats- a few hours later- if the dishes are empty, she goes back and REFEEDS them!!!
Now, this wouldn't be a problem except- she doesn't feed any of the other animals; so, I feel it's not fair to them. And, half the time THEY DON'T EAT WHAT SHE PUTS IN.
This is all funny because a month ago she said I was OVERFEEDING them.
Now, if they were eating the food she gave them I'd be like- okay, whatever...
but, when you wanna feed your cats the best (ex. Wellness) let's face it, it ain't cheap is it kitties?
I've asked her to stop- but she doesn't.
And, I wish she'd realize; HEY, CAT FOOD DOESN'T FALL FROM THE TREE IN OUR FRONT YARD!!!!
If she was buying the food, she would.
Especially the food free from by-products and all that other nasty junk.
Anyway, I thought I'd start a thread just for people to brag or vent- so take the time to do that.
Or, you can give me advice? *winkwink*

The Changing Landscape of DDoS Attacks – Advanced DDoS Is Here – Are You Ready?
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have entered a new era! Historically DDoS attackers have used a “brute force” approach to making an online services unavailable by overwhelming your company’s internet connection. DDoS targets wide variety of important resources, from consumer-facing financial and news websites, to internally-oriented employee intranet links, and presents a major challenge in today’s cloud-based world to making sure people can access important information and mission-critical applications. Brute force attacks have morphed into more sophisticated, multi-vector attacks. Your adversaries are patient, launching targeted attacks using deception & “smokescreen” tactics to take down your network. The frequency of DDoS attacked has risen dramatically as well. The emergence of IOT devices has led to larger, more destructive attacks from Lizard Stressor, to Mirai & now Memcache. 2018 has seen the first DDoS exceeding I tbps! (1.3 tbps & 1.7 tbps attacks)
Arbor will discuss the misconceptions & facts about modern day DDoS attacks and best practices to protect your company against DDoS attacks while providing maximum network availability. “Bandwidth saturation” will impact your business – an attack that exceeds your internet pipe is all it takes. In this new world, “peace time” no longer exists so having a DDoS protection strategy is critical! With 30+% of DDOS attacks causing havoc at the Application Layer with potential data exfiltration, the stakes could not be higher.

A new approach to email security for Office 365
For hackers, Office 365 is the new black!
Because a simple set of Office 365 credentials can give you access to sensitive documents, applications and confidential business information, Office 365 is now the go-to place for cybercriminals looking to make a fast and high profit.
Each day these hackers implement new and always more creative phishing and spear-phishing attacks, that easily bypass the traditional email security solutions.
Discover what their techniques are, and learn what you can do to prevent cybercriminals from breaking into your organization with just a single email.
Session Four11:00 am - 11:30 am
A Practical (low cost) Approach to Securing East-West Traffic & Critical Data
Despite best efforts organizations continue to struggle detecting and stopping attacks that lead to costly exposures of critical data.
Why is this? One reason is that organizations typically do not have a simple means to provide visibility to threat as they move East-West across their network. Leaving them blind to up to 80% of their threat surface.
Come learn how to leverage simple techniques to make your existing threat detection and investigation processes much more effective.
Learn also how to add layers of defense to protect your most critical assets.

How They Bypass Office 365 Security
The move to SaaS has changed the phishing landscape: your Office 365 inbox is the #1 threat vector and your Office 365 credentials are their #1 target. In this talk, we will demonstrate the techniques attackers use to bypass Microsoft’s defenses. Learn how they use Microsoft’s own services to fool filters and utilize built-in tools to launch them internally–bypassing your email security gateway.
During this session, we’ll demonstrate how to protect Office 365 from:
- Email-based phishing, spoofing, and malware
- Account takeover, insider threats, compromised Microsoft credentials
- Loss of sensitive data from OneDrive, SharePoint and Office 365

Protecting Your Data: What You Need to Know about Cloud Security and the Dark Web
Effectively leveraging the cloud is not just about migrating data and applications. Security must travel into the cloud as well. When organizations fail to understand that security in the cloud is a shared responsibility, the consequences can be disastrous (and profitable for threat actors!). In this session, Armor will demonstrate the vulnerability of your unprotected data in the cloud via a real-world experiment using “honeypots” disguised as a healthcare web portal.
You will learn:
- The most likely attacks your organization will face
- How active and dynamic security controls can mitigate risk
- Simple steps you can take to prevent a breach
- Why your data is so valuable on the Dark Web (findings from Armor’s Black Market Report)

Do you have time for security?
Today, the focus on security tends to emphasize technology and expertise. Does an enterprise have the technology in place to stop threats? Do they have people with the expertise to response to threats? Often overlooked is the question “does the organization have enough time to adequately manage their security needs?” During Nuspire’s presentation, Maria Graham will delve into different elements required to maintain a secure network, how much time and effort each of these elements take, and what technology and expertise is needed for a credible security posture. She will discuss different approaches and strategies to deal with time constraints to security management, and how companies of different maturity levels can respond to their unique needs.
Maria has been with Nuspire for nearly six years where she held a number of roles throughout the company, including the Senior Channel Executive, Channel Sales Team Lead and Franchise Program Sales Manager to her current role as Director of Business Development.

Washington Park, or Wash Park as it is known among its residents, is consistently one of Denver’s most desirable neighborhoods. Located in South Central Denver, the neighborhood is split into two distinct areas: Washington Park and Washington Park West. The areas are operated by separate neighborhood associations but the two have vast similarities and work together to maintain their eclectic mix of homes, retail shops, restaurants and art galleries; especially in the Old South Gaylord and South Pearl districts. The homes are distinctly unique to their residents, whether they are a high-rise luxury condo building or a Craftsman-style bungalow. Washington Park has a broad appeal because of its central location to downtown, Interstate 25, and the Cherry Creek Shopping Center. The largest draw to this neighborhood is the 165 acre park itself which features two lakes, expansive flowerbeds, jogging paths for miles, a recreation center, and two playgrounds. The park was designed between 1899 and 1908 by Reinhard Schuetze, and includes an exact replica of Martha Washington’s garden at Mount Vernon. | <urn:uuid:b9619846-4df0-4278-84e7-ed5f0dbe0615> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://denverrealestatepartner.com/washington-park-real-estate/ | 2019-07-20T22:24:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.968606 | 216 |
During the early days of the Comstock Lode, before the railroads were built, the preferred method of transportation for passengers and small freight was by stagecoach. These sturdy coaches, drawn by teams of four or six horses, followed the rough and treacherous mountain roads taking people, baggage, mail, gold, and newspapers to every community in western Nevada and eastern California.
Several stage lines met the demand for the stage business, including the Pioneer Stage Company, Wells Fargo, and the California Stage Company. Experienced and hardened stage drivers were required to safely navigate the sharp curves, poor roads, winter snow and spring mud commonly encountered along these trails. Some of the best drivers included Hank Monk, Charlie Parkhurst and George Monroe. Passengers would sometimes schedule their trips to be driven by one of these drivers.
Stagecoach companies were big business during the Comstock’s productive years. The Pioneer Stage route followed the old trail from Placerville, over the Sierra past South Lake Tahoe, to Genoa. The company had twelve Concord Coaches with six horses each. On average, more than 100 passengers used the line daily to reach Virginia City from California.
Always on the mind of drivers and passengers was the possibility that a stage could be held up by highwaymen or road agents. The stages routinely carried considerable quantities of gold, silver and other valuables across the Sierra Nevada mountains and many of the passengers usually carried considerable wealth on their persons. To protect and deter criminal activity, the stage drivers were usually heavily armed and guards accompanied shipments of gold and silver.
These things being said, I will tell a few things about the interesting stage driver known as Charlie Parkhurst. Born in 1817 in New Hampshire, Charlie spent his early years working with horses in stables and learning to become a stagecoach driver. When shoeing a horse one day, Charlie was badly injured when the horse kicked him in the face, causing him to lose the sight of one eye. From that time on, he wore a patch over the eye and often was called One Eyed Charlie. He kept pretty much to himself and traveled from place to place for several years learning his trade. Wherever he went, Charlie seemed to move on before anyone got to know him very well. It was as if he had a secret he was trying to keep from everyone.
Charlie did indeed have a secret that he believed might prevent him from becoming the highly respected stagecoach driver he wanted to be. What he failed to tell employers wherever he worked was that he was not a man at all, but a woman who loved driving the stage so much, she disguised herself as a man. The clever disguise worked well, for few people knew the secret until the day she died. Her disfigured face helped disguise her appearance.
Charlie Parkhurst arrived in San Francisco in 1850 and started driving for stage lines throughout the California gold rush country. She worked for the Pioneer Line until it was taken over by Wells Fargo in 1866. She learned to drink, chew tobacco, smoke cigars, utter profanity and fit in with the other stage drivers despite her small stature and the lady-like hands she kept covered with her driving gloves. For the next 15 years, she earned the reputation as one of the finest stagecoach drivers in the West.
Once when a notorious road agent named Sugarfoot attempted to rob Charlie’s stage, she cracked her whip defiantly and the horses bolted away. She began firing her six shooters at the gang and raced away without loss or injury. Later, Sugarfoot was found dead at the scene with a fatal bullet wound in his stomach. In appreciation of her bravery, Wells Fargo gave Parkhurst a solid gold watch and chain. Another time, as Charlie braked the stagecoach down Carson Pass, the lead horses stumbled off the road. The jolt threw Charley from the coach and despite being dragged, she held the reins to bring the coach to a safe stop.
In the late 1860s, Charlie Parkhurst retired after years of hard work and a life of deception and secrecy. When Ulysses S. Grant ran for President in 1868, Charlie became the first woman in California registered to vote in a presidential election. Charlie spent her final years doing odd jobs, farming, raising some cattle and hauling freight for neighbors.
Charlie Parkhurst died in December 1879 at the age of 67, from throat cancer and rheumatism. When neighbors came to her cabin to lay the body out for burial, they discovered the renowned stagecoach driver was actually a woman. Only later did they learn that she had been born Charlene Parkhurst and was able to hide her femininity with loose fitting men’s clothes and a patch over one eye where the horse had kicked her years before. She was laid to rest in Wasonville.

Hi all this is my first time posting something about my own project other than in comments so hopefully this is the correct spot for this! I picked up a 1974 Datsun 260z a couple of years ago on Craigslist and have only recently moved to a spot with a garage. I purchased it as a partially completed project, the interior in shambles and it had a 4.6 liter DOHC V8 out of a Lincoln mark VIII + T-45 loosely in it. Since then I've pulled out the ford engine and the T45, sold those and picked up a 5.7 liter Ls1 and am currently looking for a T-56. I've pulled the rear diff as well as the suspension, gas tank, front crossmember, steering setup and pretty much have it down to the frame. Here are some photos. I'm planning on running upgraded suspension, reinforcing the frame as well as an 8.8 Rear Diff. Currently trying to figure out wheel setup and 5 lug conversion. Thanks for checking it out! | <urn:uuid:a03cd1ba-7905-47e8-a487-787f423cad6e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://forums.hybridz.org/gallery/category/1-members-albums/ | 2019-07-20T22:16:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.979195 | 210 |
Creating your own Murder Mystery Dinner Party Game Scenarios
What is a Murder Mystery Dinner Party Game?
The host decorates their home to represent the scene of the crime and the guests attend dressed in costumes playing the parts of their characters.
A murder will occur and the guests will try to identify the villain by investigating evidence, examining clues, and questioning each other until they can come to a conclusion.
Murder mystery games are a great way to liven up your next dinner party and offer your guests an experience that they will rant and rave about for months to come.
Choosing a Theme
When writing a murder mystery scenario, before anything else, you will want to establish some general details for the premise which will set the overall theme and atmosphere of the story.
When does the story take place? Your mystery could take place in any time period you may desire, past, present, or future. Choose a time period that interests you and do a some research for more inspiration if necessary.
Although rare, some murder mystery scenarios involve a specific genre, such as horror, science fiction, or fantasy and may include exotic supernatural story elements or plot devices such as vampires, zombies or ghosts.
Where does the story take place? Your mystery could take place just about anywhere in the world you could possibly imagine, or in cases of the science fiction murder mystery scenario, it could take place in outer space, on a space ship, a space station, or on another planet. You may not only need a geographical location but also a physical structure in which to place your scenario. This could be an old Manor, a Country Inn, a Hotel, or just about any other place that may suit your fancy.
Choosing a Scenario Event
Why has everyone come together? The suspects, sleuth's, and other characters of your story will require a plauseable situation to bring them together when the murder takes place. The stereotypical premise of many murder mystery scenarios is the 'Reading of the Will' plot. It can be just about any type of social gathering event or function you can imagine. Wedding receptions, class reunions, awards ceremonies, are all great ideas and there are many more you could use to justify the reasons for everyone being present when the crime occurs.
Your murder mystery scenario will need a victim, a villain, suspects, and perhaps some other supporting cast characters which may be witnesses or sleuth's.
Most murder mystery dinner party games consist of six to eight suspects, one of which will be the villain, and sometimes one or two of these characters will be murdered during the course of the investigation. In some cases the victim has already been established (and murdered) when the game begins or it may take place later in the scenario as the story unfolds.
You will want to establish the gender, names, ages, and perhaps the occupations of all your characters that you will use within your scenario. Typically, writers of these murder mystery games like to create over the top or larger than life characters that will be both amusing and challenging for the players to act out while playing the game.
Clues, Evidence, and Redherrings
In order for the players to solve the mystery, they will have to discover the body of the victim at some point in the game story. Once the murder has occurred the investigation can begin and the clues and evidence can be gathered and examined. Some of these clues should be valid while some of them should be false or misleading redherrings.
The clues you use in your story could be just about anything you can imagine so long as they can be linked to one or more of the suspects, including the true villain of course. Clues could be anything from forensic evidence to the types of clues found in mystery books or movies. In real life crime scene investigations there are four types of evidence: Anecdotal, Testimonial, Statistical, and Analogical. You may use these types of evidence or clues in your story as well.
Time of death, cause of death, and the location where the body is found would also be considered important information needed to solve the crime.
Weapon, Motive, and Opportunity
The true villain (or murderer) in your story will need a legitimate motive or a valid reason for having killed the victim of the scenario. This motive will essentially become the basic plot for your story.
All of the main characters in your story should have or appear to have a motive for murder so that at first everyone could likely be guilty. Those investigating the circumstances of the murder would have to be able to determine who could be guilty or innocent by reason of deduction.
The murderer will also have to be linked to the cause of death. This generally involves some type of weapon or a method for murder. In many cases you would want some, but not all, of your suspects to be linked to some type of weapon or method of murder consistent with the victims cause of death.
The villain should have a shaky alibi at best and the most plauseable opportunity to comit the murder. Some suspects will have better alibis than others but it should eventually be found that the murderers alibi is false. Once again, you would want some of, but not all of, your suspects to have some opportunity to have murdererd the victim in your scenario.

On the night of 15th August our bus from Delhi to Kullu stopped on a dark road after the driver got warnings about land slides ahead. There were some tourists and sixteen cyclists in the bus. And lots of conversation. We stayed up all night with no mobile connectivity and endless rain, joking about how the adventure had already begun. The next morning as the traffic crawled, tea, bananas, makki ki roti and kadhi chawal were bought. That evening we checked into a hotel, waiting for the landslides and traffic jams to clear. (Everybody agreed this reminded them of ‘Mr and Mrs Iyer‘)
The bananas we ate came wrapped in this news headline in Hindi.
“Chamba mein premi ne looti aabru” (Roughly translates to – ‘Her lover looted the dignity of a victim.’)
Do you think the Indian media needs a clearer understanding of sexual crimes? Being victim of a sexual crime (or any crime) does not rob a woman (or anybody) of dignity.
I also feel the use of the word ‘lover’ (premi) trivializes the accusations made by the victim who seem to have seen the man as her future husband.
There is serious taboo against premarital sex for Indian women and it seems Sunita (not her real name) would not have sex with anyone but a husband (or a future husband). So it seems this man assured her that he was going to marry her and then for years, found excuses for not marrying her. If what the victim says is proved true, the man could be charged for cheating.
If Raj is convicted he could be jailed. But maybe Sunita would rather the dishonest, manipulative, disrespectful and irresponsible man married her since Indian women are raised to believe that nothing is as important as Getting Married and Staying Married.
And sex without being married, is seen as worse than being married to an abusive man. How do such taboos and values help Indian women?
Should it be legal for media, police and lawyers (etc) to imply that the victim has not only been cheated and exploited but has also lost her dignity?? Aren’t such implications the biggest reason why Indian women and their families don’t report sexual crimes? | <urn:uuid:f35e3df1-8363-4401-8a16-8afe666c3b68> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://indianhomemaker.wordpress.com/2011/09/01/of-landslides-sixteen-cyclists-in-a-bus-on-a-dark-and-stormy-night-and-of-poor-news-reporting/ | 2019-07-20T23:19:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.977295 | 476 |
What is directors and officers insurance?
Insurance designed to cover you for range of different situations
As a company director or executive company officer, you are responsible for your business, your employees and some very demanding duties and responsibilities. A directors and officers insurance policy is important as a business owner to make sure you are financially protected.
The law now states that as a Director of business you are required to protect yourself against liabilities such as negligence, default, breach of duty, and breach of trust which can include insurance or criminal proceedings that could be brought against you. This will apply no matter if you are a member of a management association or a Director of a non-profit or charity organisation.

Why you need directors & officers insurance
It is important to have a comprehensive directors and officers liability insurance policy.

Boeing/IAM attempts: Efforts are underway to bring Boeing and IAM 751 back to the table, reports The Everett Herald. The news is not unexpected; we wrote upon the IAM’s rejection of the Boeing contract offer in connection with the 777X site location that efforts were sure to come. The Herald reports who is trying to bring the parties back to the table, and has some details about the attempt.
But as yet, Boeing is not coming back, although 751 leaders are willing to return, The Herald reports. Notably in the article, Alex Pietsch, director of Washington State’s aerospace department, is “not optimistic,” but only “hopeful.”
Efforts by other states to win Boeing’s business are accelerating. Bloomberg neatly summarizes this part of the story.
Bombardier changes gears: Bombardier changed gears yesterday when it pushed Chet Fuller out as head of sales for CSeries and replaced him with the head of its business aircraft division. The Montreal Gazette has a series of reactions to the move.
Meanwhile, a conditional order for up to 30 CS100s may be in jeopardy. The Toronto City Council appears ready to reject a request for an early decision on whether to extend the runway at the downtown Billy Bishop Airport and alter restrictions to commercial jet traffic, reports the Toronto Globe and Mail. Porter Airlines, the dominate carrier at the airport, made the request and placed the order, conditional on Toronto and the federal government agreeing to changes at the airport and its regulatory controls.
Aviation Week reports on why CSeries has flown fewer flights than other test programs, as well as the timing to reevaluate the entry-into-service. | <urn:uuid:4ea47b42-ba7d-4ad3-ae19-b41281d1f8ca> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://leehamnews.com/2013/12/04/odds-and-ends-attempts-to-bring-boeing-iam-together-bombardier-changes-gears/ | 2019-07-20T23:02:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.952946 | 355 |
In his book, Mark Manson uses a raw language, but he is telling things the way they are. He gets straight to the point.
In today’s world, we are all looking for the feeling of entitlement. We want to be the best, be above average. We stress ourselves to do more and get noticed. Is it worth it? Does it make you happy or it makes you more miserable? If you are lucky, you will get noticed, but most of us are trying endlessly and are the ones that are left behind. The trill in your head is giving you headaches, have you considered that maybe you’re trying too hard?
This book will make you realize how we stress about meaningless things. We constantly stress about our stress, feel bad about feeling bad, we have thoughts about our thoughts. It’s a never-ending loop. It will show you that we need need to be selective about what we care about, how to turn pain into tools and trauma into power. Pain serves a purpose. It helps us grow!
This book won’t tell you to stop giving a f*ck altogether but focus on things that really matter. Maybe we are just pushing ourselves too hard to please others and have too high of expectations?
Have you ever noticed that when we are fed up with something, we start caring less and things then finally fall into place? Maybe the fact that we try less hatd, gives us an extra boost of energy, confidence and give you the tool you needed to succeed?
What is the most important to you?
Being at the top or being happy? It’s your choice!
For me, I’ve talked about this subject before in a previous post, but is a good example:
I used to be unhappy at my job and wanted so bad to find an exit. I was killing myself to do a good job, staying and do overtime and yet they demoted me in some sneaky way with no reason. It took me a while to figure it out, but when I finally saw what was happening, I shifted my focus elsewhere. I started to not care as much, leave on time an focus on what I enjoyed. I focus on me for once and it made the days bearable. That’s when I received a call from an agency for an interview. Since then, I never looked back. The exit came to me and everything is falling into place.
Change your focus and things will work out just fine!
I strongly suggest this book. You may leave some stuff out if you choose, but everyone can get something useful out of it. It gives you a nice example of things we stress or worry about that really shouldn’t. It definitely makes you think.

Abbe Groffman, Director of Marketing, Berg Consulting Group
Grab a latte and pull up a chair and join us for a great interview with Abbe Groffman, Director of Marketing, Berg Consulting Group.
Abbe shared that she has known Bruce for several years and was always impressed with his success and work/life balance. She admired how Bruce was vehemently dedicated to family and community as displayed by his commitment to many philanthropic activities.
One day the two of them started talking about my interest in rejoining the corporate world and Bruce kindly brought me into Berg Consulting Group.
Before returning to the corporate world Abbe was a stay at home mom raising her two delicious kids. Before this she worked in Product Management at Kraft Foods where she managed the Jet Puffed Marshmallows and Kraft Caramels businesses.
Having come into the background screening industry I asked her what she liked about the industry, she said, ”I love that everyone I have met is extremely bright and genuinely dedicated to furthering their business, the industry’s interests and elevating the industry’s position across customers and government legislators.”
Turning the conversation to the company I asked her to share the company’s mission and vision. She said, “The Berg Consulting Group mission is to use our years of industry knowledge to help our clients’ business grow and prosper. The team’s respectful and honest guidance ensures your business life becomes everything you’ve dreamed it should be by offering the best vetted, most accurate and quickest solutions on the market for all your background screening needs. Integrity rules our business philosophy and commitment ensures we plump up your bottom line!” She added, “The Berg Consulting Group truly is the go to for anything related to background screening, M&A and guidance on developing a healthy screening business that is primed for growth.” She also shared that Bruce and the team are constantly reviewing and improving their products. They stay abreast of news and business happenings within the industry.
Abbe noted that ”As a provider to the Background Screening Industry, we are continuously looking to partner with CRAs who want to grow and soon Berg Consulting Group will be introducing two new exciting products that will help CRAs increase profitability, grow revenues and strengthen customer retention.”Even with some prodding she wouldn’t give me a hint about the new products so stay tuned.”
Looking to the future, she offered that “Perhaps applicants will take background checks into their own hands – walking into a job interview with an existing, pre-qualified background check on themselves they can hand (or scan) to the potential employer.”
Turning our dialogue back to her personally she shared that she had recently read Follow the River by James Alexander Thom and MONEY Master the Game by Tony Robbins.
The people she would most like to meet are her great grandparents and my ancestors before them!
Her favorite quote is “The more I live, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know.” Michel Legrand.
Thanks to Abbe for a very insightful and interesting interview.

I recently replayed one of your “Ancient Jewish Wisdom” programs that I recorded about the tower of Babel and the introduction of secularism. I noticed , correct me if I am wrong, the first time the word “Brick” is mentioned in the Bible is in Genesis 11:3.
The question is, what is the significance of bricks concerning secularism as mentioned in Genesis Chapter 11:3? And by the way I absolutely love your program “Ancient Jewish Wisdom.” I record them and play them back to get it all, can’t get enough.
∼ Bob B.
We are delighted that you watch and enjoy our Ancient Jewish Wisdom show on TCT. We’re not sure which episode you are referencing, but your point about bricks is not only correct, but vital to understanding the allure of socialism as it recurs through the centuries.
Genesis 11:3 is one of the many verses in the Bible that loses a great deal when it is translated into another language from the original Hebrew. We delve into this verse in great detail in our audio program, Tower of Power: Decoding the Secrets of Babel, including showing some of the unique Hebrew features in the study guide. But we don’t want to leave you in this answer without some tidbit of teaching.
The focus on bricks in the tower of Babel, continuing in Exodus with the building projects of Egypt and in later books of Scripture as well, is deliberate. We need to contrast bricks with another building material that was more readily available—stone. If you have ever played with Lego, you know that when you are looking for a piece of a certain size you can pick any of the matching pieces. Unlike a jigsaw puzzle, you don’t need to find the one and only piece that will work. That is the message of the brick; bricks are interchangeable. Stones, on the other hand, more closely resemble jigsaw puzzle pieces. Each one is unique and irreplaceable.
The socialist vision views people as bricks. They are only important for what they can do together. Each one is of minor import and is dispensable. God’s vision sees each person as built in HIs image. Every individual is a stone of society with unique contributions that the world needs that only that individual can deliver.
Again, thanks for watching and for writing. If you are still intrigued by this topic, please do take a look at Tower of Power: Decoding the Secrets of Babel.

Challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of depression in autism spectrum disorders across the lifespan.
Diagnosis and treatment of comorbid neuropsychiatric illness is often a secondary focus of treatment in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), given that substantial impairment may be caused by core symptoms of ASD itself. However, psychiatric comorbidities, including depressive disorders, are common and frequently result in additional functional impairment, treatment costs, and burden on caregivers. Clinicians may struggle to appropriately diagnose depression in ASD due to communication deficits, atypical presentation of depression in ASD, and lack of standardized diagnostic tools. Specific risk and resilience factors for depression in ASD across the lifespan, including level of functioning, age, family history, and coping style, have been suggested, but require further study. Treatment with medications or psychotherapy may be beneficial, though more research is required to establish guidelines for management of symptoms. This review will describe typical presentations of depression in individuals with ASD, review current information on the prevalence, assessment, and treatment of comorbid depression in individuals with ASD, and identify important research gaps.

KIEV, July 10. /TASS/. The European Union (EU) has officially passed the keys to the New Safe Confinement (sarcophagus), constructed atop the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant’s reactor number four destroyed in 1986, to Ukraine on Wednesday. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky took part in the ceremony.
"The permanent sarcophagus of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant has been officially handed over to the Ukrainian side. Therefore, Ukraine is now responsible for maintaining the construction, as well as for dismantling the original sarcophagus, built immediately after the accident," the EU delegation to Ukraine wrote on its official Facebook page.
The delegation also notes that "the EU welcomes the official handover to Ukraine of the permanent sarcophagus — New Safe Confinement — which was constructed at the site of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Moreover, the mission also pointed out that it is looking forward to the new temporary storage for spent nuclear fuel being speedily constructed.
"This is another big step in transforming the epicenter of the tragic 1986 accident into a stable and ecologically safe place," the EU delegation underlined.
The construction of the New Safe Confinement over the old Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant sarcophagus, also known as the Shelter Structure, began in 2012 following extensive preparations at the site. Due to the large size of the sarcophagus, it had to be built in two stages, which were then lifted up and successfully merged in 2015. A crane was installed inside the arch of the sarcophagus to dismantle the existing old Shelter Structure and the remains of the reactor number four. The new confinement is designed to be in operation for 100 years. It cost 1.5 billion euros.
According to the Ukrainian State Agency on Exclusion Zone Management, the arch has reduced the gamma-ray radiation around the plant by 10 times in comparison with the data collected before it was constructed.
According to Ukrainian media, the new sarcophagus is the largest transportable structure in the world. It can be seen from a 45-meter distance. The arch is 106 meters high, 257 meters wide and 162 meters long with a weight of 36,200 tonnes. Journalists note that four football fields could fit inside the confinement. | <urn:uuid:6e50e303-55eb-450b-aed7-4f10cb606987> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://tass.com/emergencies/1067948 | 2019-07-20T22:27:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.951326 | 456 |
In the last few days the British Council Surabaya have placed an ad for a Centre Manager. This is good news for anyone interested in quality education in Indonesia, as the British Council are a well-respected and professional operation with an international reputation. This stands in marked contrast with local imitator PT. Titian Buama Ilmu, a purely Indonesian company which has been fooling customers that they are somehow ‘British’ for years by calling themselves ‘The British Institute’.
In fact PT. Titian Buana llmu does not employ a single British national as School Manager at any of their schools; nor is there a single Brit employed at Head Office. This very Indonesian company, TBI, have even gone as far as moving into a premises just vacated by the British Council in Jakarta to try and dupe customers they are somehow affiliated with the British Council. Whereas the British Council enjoy an international reputation, TBI are complete no-names outside Indonesia, despite a mission statement that has boasted of their desire to spread throughout South-East Asia. Yet in truth they have only 3 branches outside the western end of Java and branches outside Indonesia remain nothing but a pipe dream.
TBI offer nothing but books such as Cutting Edge and English in Mind, which have been brought straight off a catalogue. Despite having been around in West Java for 30 years, they have never published so much as a single book, revealing the rock-bottom academic standards within the organization. While their big-name rivals develop their own intellectual property such as books and software, TBI uses books developed by Pearson which anyone could buy at an educational bookstore. Without any academic achievements to boast off, they are reduced to pretending to be British, and maybe even a British Council affiliate, in a shameless attempt to steal some of the British Council’s allure. It has gone on too long, and hopefully with the return of the British Council to Indonesia and Surabaya, the game will be up for the pale British Council imitators at TBI.

The Bestselling Author of Finding Your Own North Star
Reveals How to Change the Way You Eat, Four Days at a Time
Everyone knows how to lose weight: eat less, move more. But so many dieters who know what to do still don't do what they know. Why not? Because they don't understand the brain-body dynamics of weight loss. Now, cutting-edge research has revealed that millions of dieters following typical weight loss programs are actually programming themselves to get fatter.
In The Four-Day Win, Harvard-trained Oprah Magazine columnist Martha Beck, Ph.D., reverses this trend and teaches dieters to get lean from the brain outward. The Four-Day Win tells how to reverse the brain-body programming that makes you fat, so you can create a new, leaner and healthier body . . . for good. As empathetic and funny as she is informative, Martha Beck observes that:
- Traditional dieting relies on the ability to go numb or to override physical and emotional feelings.
- Overeating is a self-calming compulsion similar to OCD -- dieters turn to food (and lots of it) when they're deprived of comfort.
- Overweight people can reverse the brain-body programming that is making them fat. Instead of attacking their bodies, they can learn to support them.
Dr. Beck helps you to think thin and end your compulsion to overeat, and includes a Jump-Start weight-loss program that will help you shed pounds in the best way, both psychologically and physically. An inspiring and enlightening challenge to everything you think you know about losing weight, The Four-Day Win provides you with an easy and fail-proof way to change your life. | <urn:uuid:04e5be43-6c07-41c7-bd9b-09bdb5f9ae4d> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/item/show/1001421143 | 2019-07-20T23:03:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.934639 | 479 |

Cupping vs. needling
Complementary and alternative medicine options are on the rise in the U.S. According to Mayo Clinic, nearly 40 percent of adult patients say that they had used complementary and alternative medicine techniques.
Acupuncture has been one of the more well known alternative medicine practices over the past few decades, offered in health service providers offices. But there’s a new kid on the block looking to offer patients another route towards relief – cupping therapy.
According to WebMD, cupping therapy uses cups placed strategically on the skin to create a vacuum, mobilizing blood flow to the area. The cups can be made of glass, bamboo, or earthenware.
Cupping therapy and acupuncture have similar goals in that they aim to relieve pain by mobilizing blood flow to the area, encouraging the body’s natural healing properties.
But how is cupping therapy different than acupuncture procedures? How is it similar?
- Both practices have origins in Asia. Chinese and Egyptian medical textbooks dating back to B.C. have many entries detailing the procedures.
- The duration of these treatments is between 10-30 minutes.
- Patients who have tried cupping and acupuncture do so, hoping to find relief from: migraines, high blood pressure and depression.
- Cupping therapy uses materials on the surface of the skin, while acupuncture uses needles through the skin. While these needles are small, and hardly felt, they are inserted at various depths to pinpoint areas that could help with treatment.
- Acupuncture may use heat or electric pulses during treatment.
- Cupping can either be dry or wet. Wet cupping involves controlled medicinal bleeding to draw out toxins.
While cupping therapy continues to work on establishing itself as an alternative treatment method, many practitioners of acupuncture recommend partnering cupping therapy with acupuncture to get the best of both worlds.
Ultimately, you should choose whatever treatment works best for your mind and your body. At Aligned Modern Health, you will receive a complimentary 15 minute consultation with one of our certified acupuncturists to best guide you towards relieving your pain. | <urn:uuid:f97b5f36-4097-4feb-9559-e76d6ee00c67> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.alignedmodernhealth.com/cupping-therapy-and-acupuncture-treatment/ | 2019-07-20T22:08:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.916503 | 435 |
A Quaker education prepares young people for a world that is constantly changing, and a future we cannot predict. We rely upon a timeless set of values and a philosophy developed over 300 years of experience in educating children.
We support the academic, social, physical, cultural and spiritual development of all our students. Many of our students achieve highly in their academic studies, and often go on to further study in their first-choice higher education institution. All are given the opportunity to develop passions and skills that will last the rest of their lives.
No matter what the future holds, the things our students learn during their time with us offer the best foundation for a successful life.
We care about our students
The uniqueness of each student matters to us. We recognise their individual needs, talents and potential rather than obsessing over league tables and test scores. We show students how exciting and fun learning can be. Our students develop on personal, spiritual and educational levels.
All our schools follow Quaker values in education and emphasise the importance of educational enjoyment and fulfilment. Our students leave our schools as individuals who are:
- Self-motivated, outward-looking, and keen to explore and live adventurously
- Thoughtful and coherent, with the skills they need to express themselves confidently, but without arrogance. They can justify and defend their opinions using reasoned arguments
- Open-minded and able to think flexibly, with a love of learning new things
- Innately socially conscious as local and global citizens, willing to be of service to others. They have a determination to make the world a better place
- Respectful of every individual, regardless of: ethnicity, religion, culture, gender, age, sexual orientation, physical or learning difference, and be considerate of their experiences
- Motivated to look for non-violent solutions to problems
- Able to use reflective silence amidst the noise of the modern world
- Healthily suspicious of wealth, ostentation and social pretension. They understand how our standard of living is sometimes achieved at the expense of others
We have excellent provisions for all our students, including those with particular educational needs. Quality First Teaching means that all our teachers are aware of the individual needs of their pupils and can differentiate their style accordingly. Students with special educational needs (SEN) are fully integrated with the school. They have just as many opportunities for experiences and personal development as their peers.
We teach more than the National Curriculum
All schools following the Quaker educational philosophy equip students with more than GCSEs, BTECs and A-Levels. Our students are encouraged to explore all their interests, including those that sit outside the national curriculum.
We show our students that learning is more than simply passing tests, and instil a love of knowledge and passions for activities they can carry with them into life after school.
Arts, drama and music
Students have so many opportunities within our schools for their personal, social, spiritual, cultural as well as academic development. Arts, drama and music form key parts of the education provided in all our schools so we can support creativity and provide an enriching space for self-expression and growth.
Evelyn Philips, former Headmistress at Sidcot School, stated that the Quaker educational philosophy aims “to draw out the special attributes of every child; that is why we place so much importance on art, crafts, drama and music.”
There is always plenty of time in our schedules for students to learn an instrument, trial a new style of painting and engage with an unusual and exciting dramatic form. Many schools regularly host workshops and performances with guest musicians, artists and theatre experts to provide a deeper understanding of the subject.
Our commitment to the arts has been recognised with many of our schools holding Artsmark Awards.
We know how important physical exercise is to a child’s development, so all our schools offer a range of different sporting activities to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Gymnastics, dance, judo, basketball, horse riding and swimming are just some of the regular sports on offer in our schools, with outdoor adventure trips adding to the range of activities.
We encourage our students to try everything, get involved and enjoy being part of a team. If a student has a particular interest in a sport and wants to pursue it further, we support them in every way. Lots of our students take their love of a sport on after their school days are finished, with some going on to professional success in their field.
Our schools have a strong focus on using sports participation to encourage students to improve their vital thinking skills, problem solving, and team working abilities, as well as to develop their physical literacy.
Outdoor education is a top priority for all teachers in a Quaker institution. Our students all have the chance to get away from the classroom and learn lots of outdoor skills. We recognise the importance of outdoor learning on a student’s social, physical, intellectual, communication, emotional, and spiritual development.
Learning outside the classroom helps students to become risk aware, not risk averse and gain an appreciation for our natural world. As well as the national curriculum, our schools offer a skills-based curriculum that involves many outdoor lessons, from fire lighting and plant cultivation, as well as many activities to develop imagination, literacy and numeracy.
We have specialist forest schools on site for outdoor learning, with some schools even using yurts as the base for their lessons.
Taking students outside the classroom is used to support what they learn indoors. Experiencing physical geography for themselves is much more memorable and fun than simply hearing about it from a teacher in a classroom.
International Baccalaureate and Extended Project Qualification
We teach more than traditional GCSEs, BTECs and A-Levels. Our students can take part in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Project (IBDP) or Extended Project Qualifications (EPQ).
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme encourages our students to further develop their intellectual and creative capabilities. It provides excellent preparation for university study, making them 30% more likely to gain a first-class honours degree than A-Level students. The diploma covers 6 topic areas: language and literature, modern foreign languages, individuals and societies, sciences, mathematics, and the arts. Students learn over two years and their subjects can be undertaken at standard or higher level.
Extended Project Qualifications encourages creativity and curiosity. Students choose their own topic and plan, research and develop an idea into a professional project. It teaches students how to manage their time and workload, find and use relevant resources, develop their skills, and review their own learning processes. This is perfect for students who don’t want to complete the full IBDP but wish to further develop themselves as researchers and writers in preparation for higher study.
We take pride in our school culture
The culture of a school makes a big difference to a student’s enjoyment of their studies. Quaker philosophy helps us to create a positive culture in all our institutions. Students, staff and guests all benefit.
We create a culture of respect between our staff and students. Every person within the school is a partner in the learning process. Our students know that any contribution they make while they’re with us will be listened to and considered. They don’t have to worry about being dismissed or mocked by their peers.
There is a vibrant, international community in our schools. Students from all over the world study with us. We’re very proud of the cultural diversity present in our classrooms, as it enriches the experience of all members of the school community.
We’re also incredibly proud of the way our school culture allows students to develop their leadership skills. Students regularly organise and run activities for others during lunchtimes, evening and weekends. Supported by the staff, older students are able to develop their leadership, organisational, and problem solving skills with their activities. In the past, student-run activities have included book clubs, film clubs, fund raising events, “goalie” practice, jewellery making, and many more.
Quaker philosophy teaches that everyone has a valuable contribution to make and should be treated with respect. However, this isn’t something we specifically teach in lessons. It’s something that can be learned simply by spending time within the school’s culture.Find out more about staff experiences
I would go back and work there again in a heartbeat if I didn’t live at the other end of the country – some of the most amazing colleagues I learnt so much from, and some of the most amazing kids I also learnt so much from and just a phenomenally caring atmosphere about the entire place – a really, really special school.Former Quaker school staff member
Full board, part board, or day time learning
Our schools offer a range of differing boarding options for all our students, depending on what best suits them and their families. Students are able to live on the school site with all their friends during term time. They’ll have boarding houses they can make their own. For full time boarders, there are always resident staff members available for help or support. Students have the space to develop their independence ready for adult life, with help at hand if they need it.
If full boarding isn’t right for you, many schools offer a part-board option for their students. This way, a student strikes an excellent balance between their family life and school life. part-boarding allows students to be close to both their friends and family.
Many students choose not to board at all. They attend the classes as day students, arriving on time for their lessons in the morning and leaving to be with their families after classes finish. It’s not uncommon for day students to want to stay with their friends after classes. Many of our schools have an overnight stay system in place for one-off boarding.
Peace education is about teaching children to discover that they have the power to change things they see are wrong and developing the imagination to find alternative responses to conflict…In order to survive we must begin to teach them to challenge authority, our own included.Janet Galbraith
Quaker Faith & Practice 23.85
Peace and Global studies
The Quaker faith is an inherently peaceful one. We see the value in all people and seek to resolve any conflict in a positive and peaceful way. These values are shared by all members of our school communities, whether they identify as a Quaker or not.
Peace and global studies form a vital part of the syllabus in all our schools. We encourage all our students to look at their local and global community. Students become more discerning. They ask questions about what they see and hear and develop a deeper understanding about the world. We give students the skills they need to confidently challenge injustice in a peaceful way.
Our students and staff engage in the essential elements of peace in all their activities. They are tolerant, accepting, empathetic and knowledgeable. The school community, as well as structured lessons in peace and global studies, help to develop confident, peaceful young adults.
Schools offer lessons, special talks, films and cultural activities to enrich their understanding of social and environmental justice. This approach sets our schools apart and helps to create a more discerning, peaceful and positive generation with the skills they need to make a difference in the world.

Why you could be too close to your business to see its true value
“I’ve got nothing to sell, and nothing to pass on.”
These are the words of a business owner we talked to this week. He was utterly convinced that his business – niche though it was – had no intrinsic value to anyone but himself. He felt (and I quote) that it was a “waste of time” contacting potential acquirers, because no-one would be interested. He was just going to close it down.
What makes a business owner feel this way? It’s a combination of factors, of course. Red tape, staffing issues, business admin, management accounts, lack of marketing budget. All of these can have a negative impact on a business owner’s working life, and, by extension, his (or her) perception of his business.
But where you see problems, others may sense an opportunity.
Our experience is that some clients can seriously undervalue the true worth of all the assets in their business, and I don’t just mean property, equipment, or materials. Your customer base, key contracts, staff, processes or intellectual property have a value. Your relationships, your positioning in the marketplace, even your geographical location… these may be just what an acquirer is looking for.
And make no mistake, acquirers are looking. In the last year alone 661 organisations revealed their acquisition criteria to BCMS, in over 40 different sectors. And amongst those looking for businesses in engineering and IT, there are those with highly specific requirements: targeting companies in niche areas such as water treatment, giftware and translation services.
Add that to the thousands of companies we actively profile each week, and the 35,000 conversations we have with acquiring companies each year, internationally, and you can see the extent of the potential marketplace for your company. In the last week, in the UK alone we’ve sold companies in social care, consultancy, and construction.
Don’t underestimate your business. Take a step back, and look again at the market where you operate, your key products and services, and why your customers buy from you, and keep buying.
And then, by all means, tell me you’ve got nothing to sell. | <urn:uuid:b17e2200-45ba-428a-ab59-335e0a0ac255> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.bcms.com/gb/en-gb/article/why-you-could-be-too-close-your-business-see-its-true-value | 2019-07-20T23:05:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.970111 | 474 |
MARSHFIELD, Mass. – After a three-point weekend junior forward Edy Moritz (Guilford, Conn.) has been named the New England Hockey Conference Player of the Week as announced by the conference office.
Moritz played a huge part in the Beacons 1-1 weekend, as they advanced to the championship game of the 11th Annual Codfish Bowl Tournament on Sunday. In Saturday's first round win over Wesleyan University, the junior registered a goal and an assist in the Beacons 3-1 win over the Cardinals. She then assisted on the Beacons only goal in the tough 2-1 overtime loss to seventh-ranked Endicott College in the championship game.
The Beacons will return to action on Friday when they travel to Bowdoin College for a 4 p.m. non-conference game. | <urn:uuid:cfff9e82-fc96-40c4-889c-1b7636751e07> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.beaconsathletics.com/sports/w-hockey/2017-18/releases/20171127me9jqp | 2019-07-20T22:46:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.953979 | 171 |

These 6 women can turn up the heat in every straight man’s heart and pants!
1) Kelly Van Der Veer
Kelly is a media personality from the Netherlands. She was born in 1980 and underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2000. Kelly made national headlines when she participated in Big Brother Netherlands in 2001. Kelly has worked as a webcam model, escort and she has participated in several TV shows like Dancing On Ice, Sterren Springen etc.
Miss Van Der Veer is a tall, busty blonde who knows exactly what turns a man on. What heterosexual man wouldn’t feel something grow down there when Kelly was around?
2) Jenna Talackova
Jenna was born in 1988 in Canada. She underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2007 at age 19. She made international headlines when she participated in the Miss Universe Canada pageant, owned by Donald Trump. Initially they decided to disqualify Jenna but eventually she was allowed to compete. Jenna became Miss Congeniality and got a 12th place. She is currently a model. She is very into health and diet and graduated in holistic nutrition. Jenna is a size 4 and 6feet1. Every man’s dream, a leggy blonde with nice breast implants, isn’t it?
3) Christine McGinn
Christine McGinn is a surgeon in New Hope, Pennsylvania. She specializes in transgender surgery and has her own practice called the Papillon Wellness Center. Christine is a trans woman herself and transitioned in 2000. She was born in 1969. McGinn was a flight surgeon in the navy prior to her transition. She is married to her wife Lisa and they have two children together whom Christine is the biological father of. Christine tried dating men after her transition but discovered she still preferred women. I’m sure a lot of straight guys are disappointed now, aren’t you boys?
4) Bailey Jay
Bailey Jay is a transgender porn star. She was born in 1988 and never underwent gender reassignment surgery. She got famous through 4Chan, when the members nicknamed her “line trap” because Bailey Jay didn’t want to clarify her gender or sex. She later went into the porn industry. In 2013 she married her husband Matthew Terhune, a professional photographer.
Cock or no cock, Bailey makes a lot of straight men’s heads spin around. Forum.bodybuilders.com counts several threads on Bailey Jay.
5) Carmen Carrera
Carmen was a participant in Rupaul’s Drag Race. She competed in Rupaul’s Drag Race as a male named Christopher. After the finishing of the season, Carmen announced she was transgender and in 2012 she transitioned to female. Carrera is married to Adrian Torres. They were already together when Carmen was still Christopher. She is currently a model and she tried to have Victoria Secrets hire her as an angel. She started an online petition which went viral, but Victoria Secrets never reacted to the petition.
Carmen is fit and has the right curves in the right places. Even after finding out she’s trans, lots of men still want to sleep with Carrera. She has never wanted to give details about when and if she has undergone bottom surgery.
6) Kayla Ward
Kayla is a YouTuber and a model. She documented her transition on YouTube. She was born in 1992 and had gender reassignment surgery in 2014 at age 22.

Did you know that microorganisms that live in your gastrointestinal tract may have a huge impact on your weight? It does not seem intuitive to think that microorganisms living in your gut could potentially make or break your weight loss plan, but research is showing more and more that this just might be the case.
What Is Gut Flora?
Your gut flora is the trillions of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes that are present in your gastrointestinal tract. In fact, the bacteria alone outnumber your own cells by 10 to 1. These microorganisms have a lot to do with your overall health. Researchers are finding that there may be connections between gut flora and virtually every aspect of a person's physical and mental well-being or illness.
How Do the Microbes Get There?
A person's gut flora is first established at birth. Babies' guts are colonized with bacteria when they first contact the world outside the womb, usually from the birth canal and their mother's skin. From there, gut flora is influenced mainly by what the person ingests. This includes breast milk, formula, and every other food product that is taken in. Medications, especially antibiotics, can change the balance of a person's gut flora, and they have a tendency to diminish "good" bacteria, allowing "bad" bacteria to flourish. This can result in many different disorders.
But How Can Gut Flora Possibly Influence Weight Loss?
Studies are being done routinely now into gut flora and its potential impacts on varying aspects of human health. A series of studies was done by a group of researchers that showed that gut flora has an impact on weight.
First, baby mice were raised in a sterile environment, so they didn't have any microbes. Then, some of them were given microbes from an obese human while others were given microbes from that human's lean twin. The mice were all fed exactly the same diet and kept in the same conditions but separate from each other. The mice with the lean humans' gut flora stayed lean while the mice with the obese humans' gut flora become obese.
The study was repeated, but this time all of the mice were kept together. This time, all of the mice stayed lean. Scientists believe that the results of this study indicate that the mice with the microbes from the obese person ingested microbes from the lean person in the feces of the mice carrying them, thus "inoculating" themselves with lean person microbes.
In the final study in the series, mice carrying obese person microbes were given some microbe species from a lean person. When only 39 strains of bacteria were transplanted, the mice became obese anyway. However, when 54 strains of lean person bacteria were transplanted, the mice stayed lean.
Scientists surmised from these studies that certain bacteria perform certain jobs related to digestion, metabolism, and maintaining a healthy body weight. People with a narrow range of microbes present in their guts might be more prone to becoming obese than those with a big variety of microbes in their systems (Vanessa K. Ridaura1, 2013).
Studies done in humans have also shown a correlation between gut microbes and weight (Emmanuelle Le Chatelier, 2012), but there are other factors, such as diet, exercise, and genetics at work as well.
Can You "Fix" Your Gut Flora?
It is possible to reintroduce good microbes to your gut through ingesting it. The main sources for doing this are:
- Probiotics. These are supplements that are taken orally. They contain bacterial colonies of helpful or "good" gut bacteria. There are a wide variety of choices with varying numbers and types of bacteria.
Fermented foods. Before the advent of modern preservation techniques, fermentation was widely used to increase the shelf life of many different types of food. Fermented foods contain colonies of friendly gut bacteria as well as the materials they need to feed on. Some fermented foods to add to your healthy diet include:
- Miso: fermented soybeans, rice, or barley.
- Lassi: an Indian yogurt drink.
- Sauerkraut: fermented cabbage.
- Kombucha: fermented tea.
- Kefir: fermented milk drink.
- Kimchi: Spicy Korean fermented cabbage.
Use the following methods to help friendly microbes flourish in your gut:
- Limit your consumption of processed foods and sugar, which are not good food sources for helpful microbes.
- Avoid antibiotics whenever possible, including those that might be present in meat. Consider taking probiotics and/or increasing your consumption of fermented foods if you need to have a course of antibiotics.
Kefir: Fermented Milk
Kefir is a fermented milk drink. Its consistency is a bit like a drinkable yogurt (though it's possible to create firmer consistencies), but the process of making the two products differs. Yogurt is made with bacterial cultures while kefir is made by adding kefir "grains" of bacterial and yeast colonies to goat, sheep, or cow milk and allowing it to ferment. Some of the bacteria that are used break down lactose, so many people who are lactose intolerant aren't bothered by kefir. You can find a recipe for a savory kefir smoothie here.
Turmeric: A Gut-Healthy Spice
Although this spice and its active ingredient, curcumin, won't introduce good microbes into your system, it may be able to help you lose weight by its other actions on the gut. It can aid in the digestion of food, lower stomach acid levels, and may help to seal the lining of the stomach and intestines. These actions can all help create a better environment for your microbes and a healthier weight loss for you. Turmeric can be taken in a supplement form, and care should be taken that the ingredients are organic and of high quality. Adding black pepper extract (piperine) to the supplement helps the body use the turmeric more efficiently, as well. You can learn more about turmeric at "Top 10 Reasons You Should Take Turmeric," and this Turmeric-Curcumin Complex Supplement is a great one.
More research is being done all the time on human gut flora and what it means for our health. Weight loss is just one area that is being explored. The development of asthma, allergies, depression, and even autism may be influenced by a person's gut microbes. Doing what you can to ensure that your gut is a favorable place for a wide variety of microbes to live can improve your weight loss efforts and your overall health.

Audrey Geisel, the widow of children's author Dr. Seuss and longtime overseer of his literary estate, has died.
Random House Children's Books announced that Geisel died Wednesday at age 97, "peacefully" at her home in La Jolla, California.
Dr. Seuss, whose real name was Theodor Geisel, died in 1991 and two years later Audrey Geisel founded Dr. Seuss Enterprises. Numerous publishing projects followed, along with the Broadway show "Seussical." She also served as executive producer for some film adaptations of his work, most recently "The Grinch," which came out last month.
Geisel donated millions to UC San Diego along with more than 12,000 items of her late husband's work, including original drawings and sketches.
The university dedicated the Geisel Library in 1995 to honor the couple after a $20 million gift from them. There is a cafe named in honor of Mrs. Geisel inside the library.
Geisel also dedicated her time and donated funds to support local charities and organizations, like the La Jolla Playhouse, Old Globe Theatre and the San Diego Zoological Society.
She was a Chicago native whose parents broke up when she was little and who as an adult would be in the middle of two broken marriages. She and Theodor Geisel, who was 17 years older, were both married to others when they began an affair in the 1960s. Theodor Geisel's first wife, Helen, killed herself and Audrey Geisel sent away the two daughters she had with her first husband after she and the author married in 1968.
"They wouldn't have been happy with Ted, and Ted wouldn't have been happy with them. He's the man who said of children, 'You have 'em and I'll entertain 'em,"' she told The New York Times in 2000.
"Ted's a hard man to break down, but this is who he was. He lived his whole life without children and he was very happy without children. I've never been very maternal. There were too many other things I wanted to do. My life with him was what I wanted my life to be." | <urn:uuid:fb83cfb3-0f57-4c5f-92de-e279a1008b2e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/Audrey-Geisel-Dr-Seuss-Widow-Obituary-503323861.html | 2019-07-20T21:56:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.990467 | 445 |
