Building Type Lock-Up
'This lock-up house consists of a single cell, about 7 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 10 feet high. It stands outside the village, in an inconvenient and low situation. In the winter the cell is damp. There is no provision either for lighting or warming it, but there is a hole for the admission of air. There is a wooden guard-bed, with loose straw for bedding. The place is quite insecure. There is no accommodation for a resident keeper. The cell was in a disorderly condition. The constable stated, that the lock-up house was seldom used; that there had been no one in it for a month; and that, in winter, he never kept a person in during the night.'
Inspectors of Prisons of Great Britain IV. Northern District, Thirteenth Report (Parl. Papers, 1847-8, XXXVI.361), p.65

Vessels 'Mobilise' by Alexander Darby
A gasmasked punk on a jetski journeys through a dystopian sea landscape to rejoin with his friends at the towering Red Sands Forts, in Alexander Darby's video for Vessels' Mobilise.
The forts were built during the Second World War at the mouth of the Thames Estuary as part of a network of sea defences around Kent. Frankly, the Thames Estuary has never looked so exotic.

Americans are also living longer and having fewer children. Fewer people putting money into the Social Security system, and more people taking money out.
The Social Security fund isn't actually a fund — it's a debt obligation. When more money goes in the government seizes it and spends it — leaving nothing but IOUs behind. So the Social Security fund isn't really a “fund” at all.
The next decade will see the largest drop in worker-to-beneficiary ratios in history. When Social Security was first established, the worker-to-beneficiary ratio was over 15 to 1; today it's 3 to 1.
At the current rate, the Social Security "bank account" will be exhausted in 2033, when it will receive only about 77% of what it should pay out that year.
2. The government slashes the Social Security payout.
US population now aged 48 will be 65 years old in 2033. Expectations of Social Security income will have to be scaled down.
Existing 65 year old retirees will encounter a scaling down of Social Security the age of 82, which is well within their life expectancy. | <urn:uuid:02be13e8-68dd-49f1-992b-2b53af5f447e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.pstrassmannblogspot.org/2016/03/060-expected-social-security-benefits.html | 2019-07-22T07:49:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527828.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722072309-20190722094309-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.951472 | 237 |
White Sails is the name of a complex of luxury flats in Odessa, with panoramic views across the Black Sea. In addition to flats and penthouses, with floor space varying from 75 m2 to 200 m2, White Sails also houses a health and fitness centre, an underground car park, outdoor sports facilities, a playground and a barbecue area.
The name of the complex, White Sails, refers to its waterside location. From the Black Sea, the complex looms up on the horizon like an enormous sailing ship. The light colours of the façades and the billowing forms underline the associations of the name. White Sails not only conjures up nautical associations but is also reminiscent of the streamlined, undulating architecture of designers such as Luigi Moretti, who was the architect for the politically-charged Watergate Hotel complex in Washington in the 1960s, amongst other projects. White Sails was designed by Beletage, a firm with branches in Odessa and Kiev taking commissions both within and outside Ukraine. The firm has demonstrated that it is equally at home in a great many markets and distinguishes itself through the multitude of styles in which it works, ranging from funky modern to contemporary classical. White Sails can be described as modern and monumental. The building – ranging in height from seven to twenty floors – has a façade measuring 32,000 m2, approximately half of which is glass. The building combines a streamlined, undulating shape with extraordinarily fine detailing, resulting in White Sails looking as if it is made from a single piece of material. The horizontal stripes of the glass façades follow the concave and convex lines of the building with ease. The façades have been put together with a tailor-made variant of the CS 77 system for windows and doors, with a hidden vent, designed specially for this project. This system has already proven itself as being exceptionally well-suited to extreme oceanic climates as found here by the Crimea. Yuriy Belikov, the head architect within the White Sails project, praises the collaboration with Reynaers. This went flawlessly, and in his opinion there is therefore no need to say more than that. At my insistence, he adds a simple observation: “The high quality and the precision in the dimensions of the Reynaers façade solutions made it possible for us to work on the White Sails complex at a steady pace.” | <urn:uuid:577aa1d4-efb0-488e-99fa-08fe07e50e94> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.reynaers.bh/en-ME/inspiration/aluminium-project-references/white-sails | 2019-07-22T07:39:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527828.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722072309-20190722094309-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.95764 | 500 |

Today, there is a new era that will mark the history of the work that our organization is doing on behalf of the Trans community. As an organization that is led by trans people who are striving to make the necessary changes to ensure the needs of our community are met, we are unveiling the results of The State of Trans Health: Trans Latin@s and Their Health Care Needs.
Our organization, in partnership with The California Endowment and Jacqueline Caraves embarked in a new task to amplify the needs of Trans Latin@s in the southern part of our golden state. The sole purpose of this project was to make an assessment about what are the needs that would make Trans Latin@s in southern California healthy individuals. The project took a year long to be completed. Many people participated through the process, including members of our organization, our allies and members of the Trans Latin@ community in San Diego, Long Beach, Orange County, El Monte, San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles. The results of this research project in no surprise to us, what is different about this is that we now have tangible evidence that supports our needs as a community and paints a better picture of the realities of our community locally.
The completion of this report, goes in line with our strategic plan that we developed in 2015. It also goes in line with the mission and vision of our organization. We hope that the information in this report will support the work that needs to be done to address our needs as a community. We hope that the information provided in this report will guide policy makers, program developers, academics and organizations working on behalf of the Trans Latin@ community to create programs and policies that will uplift and amplify the lives of Trans people in southern California but also across the United States.
Lastly, I want to make sure that I recognize the support of our allies, our work could not be possible if do not have the backing and support from the people and organizations who believe in the work that we do, but also embody the true spirit of ally-ship, it is because of the support of these individuals and organizations who are committed to changing the landscape of the lives of Trans People that we as an organization is doing the work that we are doing. Thank you everyone for your continuous support to our organization and to the Trans community

Substitute “illegal aliens” for “migrants” and you get the picture. They’re overwhelming welfare services.
The massive wave of migrant families crossing the border has reached San Antonio, overwhelming its bus station and shelters.
Local nonprofits have run out of space as hundreds of people are being released from large family detention centers in Dilley and Karnes County south of San Antonio, and from the border.
“We’re trying to figure out where pregnant women and newborn babies are going to spend the night tonight,” said Michelle Rumbaut, a volunteer for the Interfaith Welcome Coalition, which greets migrants at San Antonio’s Greyhound bus station and at the airport.
The influx here comes after U.S. Customs and Border Protection began releasing thousands of migrants in border cities with notices to appear later in court earlier this month.
From El Paso to Brownsville, the mass releases have swamped communities and burdened nonprofits with providing increased humanitarian aid.
“It’s a tough situation all the way around. We don’t want families to be held in detention,” said Sister Denise LaRock, bus station coordinator for the Interfaith coalition. “So now, they’re released at the border but the numbers are so huge, we don’t have the infrastructure.”
Immigration authorities have released 51,500 migrants along the South Texas border and in San Antonio since late December. That’s more than in any other ICE jurisdiction along the border and almost half of the total migrants released, said U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, who was briefed by Homeland Security officials.
ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations released 34,500 migrants in El Paso, 20,000 in Phoenix and 11,500 in San Diego, Calif., as of March 26, he said. Overall, ICE has released 117,500 migrants along the border since Dec. 21. | <urn:uuid:c574b00f-95a4-4c75-bbfd-ec08c76d5ebd> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.weaselzippers.us/416037-migrants-inundating-san-antonio-bus-station/ | 2019-07-22T07:27:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527828.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722072309-20190722094309-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.940803 | 413 |
Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) is a cancer treatment center that unites doctors from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, UW Medicine, and Seattle Children’s. SCCA’s goal, every day, is to turn cancer patients into cancer survivors. Their purpose is to lead the world in the prevention and treatment of cancer. SCCA, Fred Hutch, UW Medicine, and Seattle Children's form the only National Cancer Institute–designated comprehensive cancer center in the Northwest. This group of organizations is one of the top-funded cancer centers in the country.
In 2014, more than 300 oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, and other clinicians at SCCA treated over 6,000 patients for many types of cancers, including leukemia and lymphoma, and breast, prostate, lung, and colon cancer. SCCA patients have access to the latest cancer treatments including stem cell and bone marrow transplantation, gene therapy, high-dose chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and other specialized therapies.
Doctors at the Fred Hutch Bone Marrow Transplant Program at SCCA have performed more than 14,000 bone marrow transplants—more than any other institution in the world. The Fred Hutch Bone Marrow Transplant Program at SCCA is one of 15 centers whose patients achieved higher-than-expected survival rates for patients undergoing allogeneic transplants according to the most recent multi-year study by the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR). The CIBMTR compared patients at 172 bone marrow transplant centers in the United States. Even people who have not found a matched donor may receive treatment here using a cord blood transplant or a haploidentical transplant.

Lazarus Did StinkSaturday, April 03, 2010
William Scherk sent me an envelope that arrived on Thursday. Little did I know that the fridge magnets inside would connect to the weekend events.
The plans for the weekend included a family Easter dinner Saturday night and an afternoon (on Sunday) merienda (the Spanish version of tea, usually had at 6 P.M. and with thick hot chocolate instead of tea.
The plan began to unravel on Thursday afternoon when our weekly cleaning lady (a sweet and gentle woman originally from Central America) arrived with a bit too much to drink. Within the hour she began to sing and cry and she was all muddled up about what to do next. Then to my horror I spotted an almost empty bottle of Austrian Schloss Kirsch in my den. I keep it there with an unopened bottle of Gilbey’s Dry Gin (autographed for me by Lord Gilbey) and an opened bottle of Argentine Torrontés white wine. The wine is for cooking and the 40% alcohol bottle of kirsch is for my frequent cheese fondues.
By the time Rosemary showed up our housekeeper was swinging between falling down and showing us a scary propensity towards violence. Rosemary put on her tennis shoes and I called a cab. The cab took her home.
Friday we went shopping for the food we were going to use for our Saturday night Easter Dinner. By three when we got home we spotted a fire truck on our lane. A line was down because of the severe windstorm. We were not to know then but our power did not come back until Sunday at four in the morning.
We quickly found out or remembered that the furnace would not work as both the thermostat and the electric motor that pumps the air up through the registers are electric. We soon found out that since we didn’t; have a small Coleman stove we could not even heat water for tea or coffee. We read our papers and out books with candles. All our flashlights were dead because Lauren (a nasty habit of hers) had left them all on weeks ago.
We survived Friday night with a warmish (water from the hot water heater) hot water bottle in bed. Breakfast consisted of sliced mangoes and juice.
Easter dinner was postponed to Sunday and today Saturday evening we took food to Hilary’s where I cooked Mexican pasta soup and quesadillas. Rebecca had baked a delicious white cake in honor of Rosemary's birthday which we decided to celebrate as Easter (since our eldest daughter Ale was present) instead of her real birthday on April 19.
We got home Saturday night expecting to find the hydro trucks. They were not there. We settled, depressed, into bed but were awakened by the sound of chain saws at midnight. By four we had lights.
As I looked at Schirk’s fridge magnets I thought again at how I have always equated a fridge to the human body. Everything is fine as long as the fridge has power. As soon as the power is out, the food inside begins to spoil and the smell appears.
When this happens I always remember what Brother Edwin taught us back at our religion class at St. Ed’s High School. Easter is as much the festivity of Christ rising from the dead as well as the raising of Lazarus by Christ as re-told by St. John in in John 11. There is a passage that will always be in my memory.
It was a cave with a stone laid across it. “Take away the stone, Jesus directed. Martha, the dead man’s sister, said to him, “Lord it has been four days now; surely there will be a stench!”
The New American Bible, 1973 by Catholic Press.
But as events unfolded I found reasons to feel happy. As I was finishing Andrew Greeley’s book on Saturday night, The Archbishop in Andalusia – a Blackie Ryan Novel, I smiled when I read the dialogue between Archbishop John Blackwood Ryan and Cardinal Diego Sanchez y Romanos, El Moro, Archbishop of Seville:
Archbishop Blackie: …I told her that she had come back from the dead. I said that resurrections meant new beginnings, that God expected a new beginning from her. A new life which was a renewed life. She was still shaking with fear…and all the time desperately holding the hand of the husband of whom she was afraid.”
Archbishop Diego Sanchez y Romanos: “Resurrections are not supposed to be easy.”
Archbishop Blackie: “Even for Jesus?”
Archbishop Diego Sanchez y Romanos: “I have never been in a position to ask him. But for the rest of us new beginnings mean new terrors.”
In many ways Saturday, called Sábado de Gloria in Spanish seemed a bit like that as we adapted to new situations that had been unexpected but cleverly predicted by old Rádico Popularos', William (Bill) Scherk when he sent me the fridge magnets. | <urn:uuid:8d6ce8db-11db-47ac-a406-cd0c7ffb30c5> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2010/04/lazarus-did-stink.html | 2019-07-23T16:28:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.979771 | 1,053 |
Amina used to spend almost half of the day in fetching water for her family. “We had been drinking water from streams and ponds since childhood. The nearest pond is located at a walk of more than an hour”, she said during a sharing session at the Village Development Group VDG of Gadap Town. The situation of Amina is not different than other women of Khair Muhammad Goth (village). Her jobs include cooking food for the whole family, feeding and cleaning the animals, minding the children, delivering food to her husband in the fields, toiling the land and harvesting. “I wake up when it’s dark and there is just no time to rest. Things became really tough when I get sick”, said mother of five. Caritas Pakistan Karachi is running such groups in the most backward area of the metropolitan. 10 big hand pumps have been installed in Gadap Town this year. Khair Muhammad Goth was among the list of target areas and this means a sigh of relief for Amina. “We are lucky to have fresh water now.

In the absence of one of the factors described in Subsection (1), a court may not remove a child from the parent's or guardian's custody on the basis of:
(a) educational neglect, truancy, or failure to comply with a court order to attend school;
(b) mental illness or poverty of the parent or guardian; or
(c) disability of the parent or guardian, as defined in Section 57-21-2.
Lack of adequate housing and homelessness, however, are often entangled with the reasons for removal.

Zakynthos, the southernmost of the Ionian Islands, the island loved by Homer, Solomos, Kalvos and Edgar Allan Poe, the island of serenades, of love and of joking, the island of paradise.
Zakynthos, a vision full of beauty, sounds fading away into past and lingering fragrances, make one forget time and place.
A precious emerald dropped in the clear blue water of the Ionian Sea, waiting for those who know, to hold it in their hands and enjoy its beautiful sandy beaches, its heavenly sourroundings and its inhabitants' traditional hospitality.
Here, its blue sea water is the Kingdom of the sea turtle Caretta caretta and the seal Monachus monachus.
'Stefania Apartments' is a small family housing estate consisting of one or two - room apartments and stands at Drosia, Kypseli, 12 Km away from the town of Zakynthos. It's a new construction of neoclassical style built by the sea. It offers a parking lot and a garden, which ia an ideal place for kids.
Every morning in the lush garden by the sea, you can have your breakfast, which is included in the cost of your room.
The surrounding area is very peacefull, green, quite cool in summer with very clean seawater. Just beside the apartments there is a traditional fish taverna and a few meters away there are three more restaurants, a pizzaria and a bar.
Aso, at a distance of 700 m. away there are a bakery - confectionery, a petrol station, a butcher's and a super market. There is aslo a small harbour 100 m. away, where you can safely leave your boat.
Hospitality at Stefania apartments is the owners' priority and cleanliness is exemplary. There will be a daily visit by a cleaning lady, for cleaning the room and changing bedsheets and towels.
Near the apartments ( 500 m. ) there is the most spectacular beach of ' Panagia Psarou' famous for its natural beauty and clean water ( it was awareded the E.E.C. blue flag. | <urn:uuid:c5566b6d-4b79-4ee0-9f93-ca8f0e3c6cc5> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://stefaniahotel.com/en/ | 2019-07-23T15:49:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.952613 | 455 |
Chianti Classico Riserva Cortevecchia is the most polished expression of the territory, where the Sangiovese grape benefit from a long aging in wood to develop the classic, complex aromas of a Chianti Classico. The fragrances are given time to expand, enrich, and grow. The result is a wine that perfectly expresses the variety and territory, smooth and elegant with an irreproducible texture when grown in other areas.

Bitcoin exchange nicehash hacked $68 million stolen
I really dislike the way media will so loosely throw around the word hack, like as if bitcoin has been directly hacked. The hack involved a third party not taking proper security measures to secure user wallets on their network. When it comes to bitcoin, time and time again users of Cloud Mining services get burned including myself, in the past, where my life-time cloud mining membership was canceled, twice, on two different platforms.
While I received my ROI, it was a clear indication of one thing: Cloud mining services are just not for me if at all for anyone. The best way to secure your cryptocurrency is to secure it yourself or do your due diligence and trust the right company. In the case of cloudmining, I trust none. It's not your cloud, it's not your hardware.
The best way to mine for cryptocurrency in my opinion is to invest in your own rig. The best way to truly profit from a cloudmining service is to probably invest at least 3 grand if not more but agian, it's not your cloud and anything can go wrong.
For about 3 grand you can buy your own mining rig and make the money back within a year. Obviously you wouldn't be mining for bitcoins in this case. I learned my lesson about cloudmining services, and as I returned to the bitcoin scene after a short break I was bombarded with NiceHash ads everywhere I went on the net for a short period of time.
I asked myself, just how "Nice" is it? Well with past experience, I decided I would not get involved again. After all, I am still waiting to accumulate enough btc for a withdrawal on Hashflare. When I first heard about MtGox they were pretty big. Something about the name felt wrong. There were certainly red flags, but I feel it was mostly due to the geographical location. I stayed away, and literally just a few months after I heard about them they lost all those bitcoins. What a commotion it caused!
I felt right about my decision to stay away from MtGox. It was around the same time that this was happening that I was informed of MtGox's history and how they were original a card trading site for the card game Magic: When hit with this bit of information, it really didn't come as a surprise to me that this happened.
It told me Bitcoin still had some growing to do and that we needed more experienced individuals "securing our wallets". Probably and mostly due to the uncertainty of what bitcoin will do. So here I am years later, pretty content with my decision to continue to stay away from cloudmining services. I figured, if I can't afford my own rig then I won't mine at all.
This in turn saves me money. Enough money to buy a mining rig in the near future. As with any investment, you can never invest more than you're willing to lose.
My condolenses go out to anyone who lost money from this. I can't imagine being in their shoes right now. What are your thoughts? Do you think cloudmining is a sound investment? In the end, I think it's too risky. Better to have my own. Will this dramatically affect bitcoins price like these thefts have in the past?
After watching the market through out the day, there seems to be little effect and seems to be a normal day. What does this mean for altcoins? It is a shame that these things seem to happen around Christmas.
Bank roberries didn't affect money, just the people who were robbed. Can bitcoin sustain its price during massive heists like this? Let's hope so, and I hope we can all learn from this and maybe not be so quick to invest in cloudmining. I wonder if other cloudmining services will be targetted, and if they have the security to withstand such attacks.
This is not to say that NiceHash is a bad service, or incompetent, but still a risky investment. I tried NiceHash a few times. I was never going to use them again because it wasn't something I enjoyed doing.
It will be a shame that the pools that take a long time to find blocks will take even longer now, if they don't have people renting lots of hash power. I can't see NiceHash returning, who would trust them now? Having all the bitcoin in one wallet and having high withdrawal limits was wrong and they could of foreseen this happening.
Thanks for your response! I can't imagine what was going through their minds when they decided to put everything in one wallet. High withdrawal limits bothers me too. Hashflare is on the same boat with withdrawals. I don't think they will be able to recover fully, if at all, from this.
People need the security, and this makes people skeptical, when it is more human error than faults with bitcoin. Thank you for reading, God Bless!

When Spotify first rolled out the the US market a few weeks ago I wasn’t exactly impressed. I was lucky enough to get an invitation but after about ten minutes of using the software I found that it didn’t really offer anything for me. I didn’t want to pay for mobile access and I felt searching for songs and albums to make a playlist was a little much. That is why I like Pandora. I can just create a channel and let it play. I get plenty of music from various artists that all fit the theme of the station. I felt Spotify might be a nice iTunes replacement but otherwise I was sticking to Pandora. That was until I discovered there is more than just music on Spotify.
I had a nice conversation with a friend over the weekend about watching hours and hours of stand-up comedy when we were kids. Back when Comedy Central first started, as The Comedy Channel, they played tons of stand-up. That was the majority of the programming. I got addicted to stand-up during my high school years and have been a fan ever since. Sadly, good stand-up on TV has mostly disappeared. After my conversation over the weekend I was really missing those days and on a whim booted up Spotify to see if, by chance, any comedy was on there. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. There is tons of stuff on there! In fact, I haven’t looked for anything yet that I haven’t found. Ooops, I take that back. I just went looking for some Bill Hicks and the selection is short but hey, I guess you can’t win it all. Otherwise, I have been very impressed with the selection. In fact, having access to this stuff is almost worth a subscription. Almost.
At $5.00 I think I would be in. Yes, there is a plan at that price but it doesn’t include mobile. That is a deal breaker for me. Spotify just doesn’t have value to me if I have to pay $10.00 for mobile access. I really like the service. I really like the software, but the price point doesn’t fit my perception of adequate value. I can’t really explain why but it just seems like a little much. That’s too bad too because over the last 12 hours or so I have really begun to enjoy something I originally dismissed.
So, I guess I love Spotify but not enough to actually help fund the service. Is that wrong? | <urn:uuid:a8567618-f1b8-420f-a290-24767cfcda10> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.anutterwasteoftime.com/2011/08/16/and-now-i-love-spotify/ | 2019-07-23T15:59:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.985736 | 515 |
Sighting one of the nimble and graceful bighorn sheep performing a gravity-defying ballet on a rocky cliff is one of the chief delights for visitors to Yellowstone. About 300 bighorn live within the park, with most inhabiting the northern range. Mt. Washburn and the Gardner Canyon (between Mammoth and the North Entrance) are good areas for frequent viewings of the bighorn sheep.
While leaping from ridge to ridge, the bighorn sheep—especially the rams—carry a heavy load. An adult ram’s horns can weigh up to forty pounds and account for 8-12 percent of its body weight. Horns also denote social status in males, with the general rule being the bigger the horn the higher the ranking.
In November the bighorn sheep rut begins and as far as clashes go, the bighorn are pretty civilized. The rams “huddle” in a group showing off their horns and sizing each other up. If a subordinate does not concede, a dominant ram may assume the “low stretch” stance that indicates power. Then suddenly, the two rams may surge toward each other and clash in a dramatic crashing of heads and horns. Yet the incident ends very quickly and the rams may resume grazing or resting next to each other immediately after the fight
Last year I was lucky enough to observe a large bighorn herd during the rut. My favorite stance was the lip curl, a bighorn “funny face” made after a ram smells an ewe in order to determine her reproductive status. After the rams had fought for some time, the females moved near the huddle as if to say, “enough silly fighting!” Many of the eager males followed the ewes, strolling behind with their lips curled and heads lifted proudly in the air.
For all their abundance in Yellowstone, bighorn sheep in our country face many threats. Theodore Roosevelt is generally credited with bringing the sheep back from the brink of extinction in the early 1900s. Habitat erosion and climate change pose challenges for the bighorn. Exposure to livestock and even humans also put bighorns at the risk of contagious disease. A pink-eye epidemic in Yellowstone in 1982 decreased the park’s bighorn sheep population by almost 60%, but the animals have been slowly recovering at a rate of 7% growth since 1998. | <urn:uuid:feb17c0e-3fb8-4a03-8db1-e393ec539fb2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.bethpratt.com/life-in-yellowstone/2009/10/21/fall-wildlife-watching-in-yellowstone-the-bighorn-sheep-rut.html | 2019-07-23T15:19:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.959417 | 500 |
Captain Fantastic begins innocently enough, with gorgeous shots of a deer in the wild (Stéphane Fontaine’s cinematography is a standout feature of this film). Then that deer is slaughtered by an unknown young man, who is soon joined by a ragged group of people, mudded up from the hunt, to celebrate the kill and welcome the boy as a man, which is done by slathering blood over his face, looking for all the world like a doomsday cult. Viggo Mortensen is introduced to us as Captain Fantastic while he admires his handiwork (that would be the blood on his son’s face). It’s a hell of way to introduce us to our protagonists, but Matt Ross, the writer and director of Captain Fantastic, needs to put us on our back feet. Because once this sprawling family (six children - two boys, two girls, and two that are young enough, it’s hard to distinguish their gender, though this is the kind of movie where that feels like a feature), wash themselves and dress this deer, they become an attractive, if somewhat misfit, band living completely off the grid in a stunningly beautiful place. Ross doesn’t want us to be completely seduced by the success of Ben (Viggo Mortensen) as the father and leader of this group of young doomsday preppers, this leftist Swiss Family Robinson, because he wants us to wrestle with whether or not Ben’s family model is good for them or not, just as Ben is forced to, once he and his family leave their mountain enclave.
Ben and his family (the children have spell-check breaking names like Kielyr, Vespyr, and Zaja) are thrown into turmoil when they receive news that Leslie, Ben’s wife and their mother, has committed suicide. Jack, played with angry stoicism by Frank Langella, tells Ben in no uncertain terms that he will be arrested if he comes to the funeral, but the grief of his family and their general “Damn the man” philosophy put Ben and his clan on the road and into direct contact with the many squares who think Ben and Leslie, who haunts him in that twilit place between sleep and wakefulness that produces such vivid dreams, might be crazy. Ben is regularly forced to confront the fact that the squares, especially the angry Jack, but also his bewildered sister Harper, played by Kathryn Hahn, are right and that he is hurting his children. When one of the girls sent on a “mission” falls and breaks her arm, Ben begins to see himself as a threat as well and considers the possibility that this beautiful vision of making agrarian-warrior-philosophers that he and Leslie had for this family might be poisoned by the bipolar disorder that eventually destroyed her.
Ross and his ensemble handle all of this emotional and intellectual heavy lifting deftly, delightfully and sincerely. The audience will almost certainly not waver in their attachment to Ben and his hilariously well-prepared, if incredibly sheltered children. Bo, played with intensity by George MacKay, has no game with the ladies, but got into every Ivy League school he applied to, thanks to his parents’ education. Shree Crooks is an amazing discovery as young Zaja, who drops intellectual bombs with aplomb. Samantha Isler and Annalise Basso play the older sisters, Kielyr and Vespyr, respectively, who are both fierce womyn in training. Even the momentary villain, Rellian, played by Nicholas Hamilton, is always sympathetic, even as he kicks against the pricks. This film would not have a prayer of working with so many issues and tones without a solid cast. It veers from grief and suicide to first kisses to Noam Chomsky day and K-Bar combat knives. But it works and Captain Fantastic is utterly charming. It avoids many of the typical emotional traps found in family dramas, mostly by creating such an interestingly different family group and exploiting our desire to root for them with the knowledge hovering in our minds, that if we knew someone who was doing that to their kids in real life, we would be worried. In a way, Ross has constructed a Marxist, or perhaps merely a Hegelian, dialectic with Captain Fantastic. It posits the thesis of Ben and his beautiful family and then crashes that into its anti-thesis (though you could just as easily locate the leftist resistance of Ben’s lifestyle as the anti-thesis to the thesis of modern American capitalist consumerism, it works either way) producing synthesis. In the end, Ben brings his children down the mountain, out of isolation, into a mediated distance on a small farm, but still sending the kids off to school in the morning, a new normal, a new, sun-soaked, equilibrium.

On the last hot day of Summer, I decided to take my family to the shore. Although our part of Washington abounds with lakes, and we live just a few miles from the Puget Sound, there’s just something about the Ocean that demands special attention.
Earlier in the week, I rallied the kids: “We’ll go to church on Saturday evening, and then leave just after Sunday School. We’ll be on the beach, playing in the waves, by 1 pm!”
Of course, we didn’t leave right after Sunday School. We came home, made a lunch, lolly-gagged around, and eventually got on the road about an hour after I had planned. Still, we reached the edge of Ocean Shores just before 2 pm.
Blazing, hot sunshine had persisted throughout our journey, with temperatures in the upper 80′s. Passing through Aberdeen, one bank boasted 89 degrees on their electronic marquee.
“What a great day to spend at the beach,” I chortled.
Kathy was the first to notice that something was wrong. As we approached the beach, there was a sudden cessation of sunlight.
“Hey! Where’d the sun go?” Kathy worried aloud, outraged. Living in western Washington, Kathy has learned to really cherish the sunshine we do receive.
Kathy was underwhelmed with this ‘last hot day of Summer’.
As we drove onto the beach, a thick mist surrounded the car, blotting out the last of the Summer’s heat, transforming the sun into a pale yellow ball with the wattage of a dim streetlight.
“It’ll let up any minute,” I pronounced, sagely. (I’m famous for my weather predictions, and coined that phrase during a very rainy visit to the zoo, many years ago.)
For some reason, no one seemed visibly heartened by my prediction. Numbly, we watched our van’s temperature gauge drop briskly through the 80′s, 70′s and 60′s, settling at a frigid 58. Reluctantly, the kids and I got out of the car, bracing against the chill wind.
Kathy stayed in her seat. “I’m not going out there,” she said firmly.
Rachel: “C’mon, Mom, get out of the car.” Kathy: “Nope. Not budging.”
My children seem to lack even a rudimentary sense of self-preservation, and ran to play in the waves. I scanned the water for ice floes, and gingerly dipped my toes in the water, shuddering with cold.
Swimmers in the Mist
They ran even faster, to get out of the waves.
The kids created an elaborate sand-kingdom, originally Narnia, but which was eventually transformed into Mordor. “The skies are more like Mordor,” Joshua insisted.
Not the actual Lord of Mordor
After an hour of building sand castles, the girls staged a rebellion, master-minded by Kathy, who still hadn’t stepped out of the car.
“We need a bathroom. And sunshine,” they pleaded.
Eventually, even I had to admit that the fog wasn’t burning off, and we set off in search of sunshine. Just a mile or two inland, the sun shone brightly. We followed the coast north, hoping to find a place where the sun and the shore could live together in amity. I was determined to see a Pacific Sunset, and squandered the rest of the afternoon speeding along route 101, trying to outrace the fog.
We did find time to pose for the obligatory family portrait. “Everyone smile, or you’ll wish you had,” I threatened.
At the limit of everyone’s patience, I found a place where the road met the shore, and the sun still shone. Even here, the fog hovered just offshore, casting a shadow in the sky, if not directly on our faces. The wind blew fiercely, and the temperature held stubbornly at 63.
Daniel poses heroically, just because he can.
Daniel and Sarah amused themselves by constructing a fort of driftwood. Joshua ran up and down the beach, while Rachel took pictures of her feet and the footprints she made. David planted a tree with more optimism than horticultural skill.
I’m thinking, driftwood is unlikely to sprout.
We stayed until the sun was obscured by the ever-present bank of fog, calling that a ‘sunset’, before heading for home. It had been a very different day than I had expected — spent mostly huddling in sweatshirts rather than sweltering in t-shirts.
Sometimes, you just have to call it a day.
It made me think about life — how so often, it turns out differently than we expect. Still, we had a pretty good time, because we were together as a family, and were determined to be cheerful. Stopping for milkshakes on the way home was perhaps my most inspired idea of the day. | <urn:uuid:259b30bf-b63e-4f43-ba3c-23b1ab249060> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.edgren.com/wordpress/2011/10/ | 2019-07-23T15:25:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.96439 | 1,098 |

I don't think I have the words to adequately describe how crazy last week was! Maybe you can get the gist with some hastily snapped pictures. I think it's become a habit to snap a few and I didn't even know I had most of them until I went to use the camera today.
A week ago today I was revelling in the first mellow sunset since this stormy winter began. ~
Monday morning I had the wonderful surprise of the first spring flowers. ~
By the next day we had this. ~
I've been helping out a friend who broke (completely shattered, actually) her ankle on the wicked ice we've had this year, so I'm making my way to the chicken coop gingerly these days.
Her husband dropped a couple of bags of straw off on the front porch for my chickens. In the morning I see something needed a warm bed and pulled a bag of straw apart right beside the front door. Canine is my guess from the tracks.~
That won't be fun to clean up but I'm glad it had some refuge from the storm.
Not one but two offers came in on my rental property. A change of real estate agent and we have action! The second offer bumps out the first and wants to close in four days! This sets off a flurry of calls to lawyers, utilities and tax offices to try and pull this end of the paperwork together in record time. This is a big house, it's fully staged and all the furniture and accessories have to be removed. Removed to where? Ekes! Wait, there is a snag in the financing. The deal is on hold and the agent doesn't want anything taken out of the place. At 5:30 on Wednesday the deal is confirmed and everything has to be out by midnight Thursday! Start hauling furniture and packing dishes and make more calls to start giving a lot of it away.
All I have to do on Friday is pick up my cheque and head to a party friends are holding to celebrate the sale.
Oh, and take my lawyer a couple of jars of my dill pickles. It's a deal we have going. My daughter misunderstood me when I said he always wanted pickles when he did work for me. She said, "Mom, I think it's just weird that your lawyer wants tickles." Right, Farm Girl, pickles is weird enough but I draw the line at tickles!
Let's tuck the chickens in for the night and head out. That wouldn't be nearly enough drama, would it? Of course not. I open the coop and find Gertie bleeding profusely. How she got the wound, I don't know, but this has given the other three girls the idea that she'd make a nice meal. I'm holding her up so they don't cannibalize her and frantically dialling my cell to get my friend to Google how to stop bleeding in a chicken. Did you know the blood will spray out of them like you cut an artery open? One Google solution is to dump flour on the wound. Seriously? Her husband will be right over with some steptic powder. I dial Farm Girl to see if it's okay to use it on a chicken. I call it septic and she feels the need to correct me. Really? Blood is spraying all over my face and she wants to discuss pronunciation, grammar, syntax ...!
Gertie is in quarantine for the weekend so the girls will leave her alone. She has to stay in a cramped cat cage and I was debating giving her a bath.
I really don't want to take a chicken in the house and bathe it, but that dried blood is a real problem if I don't want her to get pecked to death. ~
As I'm standing there debating the craziness of putting a chicken in my bathtub, I realize one of my sister's chickens is looking very bad. To be honest, that chicken is old and probably on her way out but she looks like she might be egg bound. The only help I know for that is to stand the bird in warm water. She liked it so much she lay down in it. Now, I'm juggling too many sick chickens. Out comes my phone and I call my sister to come over and help. The weather is turning cold and I have a wet chicken to warm up.
So I ended up with a chicken in my bathtub after all! ~
Dizzy Lizzy got to stay in the tub to warm up and we moved the unused, little chicken coop into the run so Gertie has a space to move around in during the day. ~
And that, my friends, was my week. How was yours? | <urn:uuid:4401661b-188d-4f55-9116-e451b4a7534e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.itsallconnected.ca/2013/03/how-did-chicken-get-in-my-bathtub.html | 2019-07-23T15:19:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.983727 | 972 |
It is very important to pay attention to the pulse interval and discharge time when the dies are processed by electric pulse.
Pulse width, which is the duration of voltage pulse applied to both ends of discharge gap on tools and workpieces, is usually referred to as pulse width in open-die processing of pulse injection moulding. In order to prevent arc burns, EDM can only be processed by intermittent pulse voltage waves. Rough processing can be carried out with a larger pulse width, while fine processing can only be done with a smaller pulse width.
Pulse interval is also referred to as pulse interval or interval. It can also be called pulse pause time. It means the interval between two voltage pulses. If the interval time is too short, the discharge gap can not eliminate ionization and restore insulation. It is easy to produce arc discharge and burn tools and workpieces. If the interval time is too long, it is easy to reduce the processing productivity.
Pulse period of injection mould usually refers to the time between the beginning of one pulse voltage and the next adjacent pulse voltage, which is called pulse period. It is equal to the sum of pulse width and pulse interval.
Discharge time refers to the current duration from the gap after dielectric breakdown through to the end of current pulse, which is called discharge time.
The pause time is the time interval between two adjacent discharges called the pause time. Pulse frequency is the number of voltage pulses generated by the power supply in a unit time, which is called pulse frequency. Peak current is the maximum value (instantaneous) of pulse current in gap spark discharge, which has a great influence on surface roughness and processing efficiency.
When we process dies by EDM, both positive and negative electrodes will be corroded to different degrees. Even if the two electrodes of the same material are corroded differently, we will find that one of the electrodes is more corroded than the other. This phenomenon is usually called polarity effect. If the two electrode materials are different, the effect of polarity will be more obvious. Generally, the process of connecting the workpiece to the positive pole of the pulse power supply is called "positive polarity" processing; conversely, the process of connecting the workpiece to the negative pole of the pulse power supply is called "negative polarity" processing. Making full use of polarity effect in practice can improve processing speed and reduce tool electrode loss.
In the process of electric pulse processing, we decompose the free carbon particles with negative polarity in the oil medium. Under the suitable pulse width and pulse-to-pulse conditions, the carbon particles will be covered on the positive electrode of the discharge, which is called the covering effect. At the same time, the electrode wear can be reduced by using a certain covering effect, but the tool electrode must be connected with the positive electrode, and the workpiece is connected with the negative electrode, that is, the workpiece is processed by the negative polarity processing method.
The energy released by pulsed discharge in injection moulding is mainly absorbed by tool electrodes and workpieces, and is usually corroded by melting or vaporization. It is obvious that the higher the melting point, boiling point, thermal conductivity, melting latent heat and vaporization latent heat of tool electrode or processed metal, the less the erosion amount will be. For tool electrode, it is easy to guarantee the processing accuracy; for processing workpiece, it is slow and ineffective. | <urn:uuid:45dc0313-2ab8-4169-9a5c-b59c3f8f728c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.jnhjgs.cn/newscent/65.html | 2019-07-23T15:41:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.734819 | 710 |
The well known South African golfer and golf presenter Dale Hayes has said many times that he has never in the history of golf seen a hole go to a golf ball. You have to actually hit the golf ball to the hole - that simple. Any golfer will be painfully aware of this simple truth in putting skill: the challenge of putting is to aim your shot at the target, the hole, taking into consideration the distance and the obstacles of slope and green speed. If you do not aim your shot at the hole you will simply not hear that little sound of victory when the ball drops into the hole. You have to aim at your target.
This is also true in life. I have come across this brilliant quote that you will see in the picture: "The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it." For this to be true, in the first place, you need to have a target. Do you have targets in your life? Hopefully so. Some people create the impression that they are living aimlessly - they do not really have a plan, they live from moment to moment. There is another saying that you cannot get lost if you do not know where you are going. And if you do not now where you are going, staying just where you are is always a safe choice. But a very poor choice. Because if you do not move you will fall behind. That is life.
We need to set goals and targets for ourselves. This must happen on a daily basis and on many fronts. We need to decide where we are going. When you plan your life, in general, your career, your retirement, your next holiday, your next big assignment at your place of work, your week, your day today or tomorrow, you need to set yourself targets. And then the most important thing is to aim at it. You have to take actions, do stuff, move from where you are towards your target. And you fill find in life that many times you miss your target at first. Sometimes we even have to redefine our targets. But the odds of success go up dramatically when you have targets and you aim at it. That is called purposeful living.
Nowadays a lot of people are getting depressed about circumstances around them. Politics, the economy, war and confrontation, health problems, financial trouble, so many things can steal our happiness. But what I have found is that when, in the midst of all those negative factors, you set yourself targets and you aim at them, and when you spend your energy to achieving those targets, you will live a life with tens of thousands moments of achievement. In this manner the negative aspects become less depressing, more manageable. Set targets, aim at them and see how your life will become purposeful and enriched.
Anyone who has known me for even a few months would have heard my motto "Never, ever, ever, give up". I have realised that this is maybe the one thing that distinguishes me from many other people.
I want to tell you about this card that you see in the picture. I have carried this little card in my wallet for years, to keep reminding myself that (1) you have to have a vision and a goal, and (2) you must be able to focus on achieving it even if no one else sees the same glory and triumph that you do.
I am not the smartest, definitely not the prettiest, not the most well-built and for most every skill I have been born with or have acquired, I can find a video of someone on YouTube in less than 5 minutes who can do it way better than me. Take for instance playing guitar. I can entertain my friends and family and impress a few people with my guitar skills, but compared to millions of other guitarists I am a nobody. I am nothing. I am mediocre.
But there is that one thing I have really made my own that I do better than a lot of people I have met. To many people this might be an afterthought, something that motivates them for thirty seconds when they read it, or something that they just shrug off. But I have turnt this into a life philosophy - NEVER, EVER, GIVE UP. And I mean it, if you want something bad enough, the only way to get it, is to never give up until you have it. From a different angle you can say: "If you fail at first, try again, and again, until you succeed". And this is where I kick dust in many other people's faces. The easy way out is to give up, to me this is not an option. If I cannot beat you with skill or ability, I will take you on with perseverance. But I have not developed this attitude and way of thinking to compete with others, I have done it in order to keep improving myself and to better myself for the benefit of those around me. And many times I have succeeded, simply because I never give up. Not for any other reason.
Three things that are key to such a philosophy, that are not always obvious, are the following:
Until today this attitude has become a way of living to me. My golf buddies sometimes remark that they have not seen anyone so motivated to play the sport, despite having to overcome a total lack of natural talent on my side. But I have decided not to give up, and I have set goals for myself. And sometimes I had to scale down on those goals, but I have never ever gone onto a golf course without wanting to be better than the last time. And this I have integrated into my personality in everything I do.
It is unbelievable how many discoveries will await you if you change your attitude - when you keep on trying, keep on going, never giving up. The great thing is that you will constantly experience small successes, small victories. That will motivate and energise you even further and life will unlock its magic moments to you and lead you on a path of constant fulfilment.

Reading the recent letter by Hamilton-Halton Home Builders' Association president Anthony DeSantis Jr. to the Hamilton Spectator in response to their editorial endorsing the Greenbelt, I'm starting to understand why Hamilton is in the shape that it's in.
The issue, of course, is smart growth and the province now demanding that 40 percent of new growth take place inside the current urban area.
Progressive cities that understand urban development don't face the same small-minded thinking we in Hamilton face. Toronto has a plan to house its next one million people entirely inside the urban area.
Mr. Desantis uses a juicy piece of fear-mongering to aid his point:
For Hamilton over the next two or three decades, [40 percent of new growth] means 80,000 people, or the equivalent of approximately 140 Century 21 Towers, will have to be housed in our existing built form.
Anyone with a slight education on urban intensification understands that new growth can be accommodated with some high-rise towers downtown, but will also involve more low and mid-rise buildings in the rest of the city.
Instead of a never ending streetscape of one-storey plazas on Upper James, we could add three- to five stories and begin intensifying the population while also bringing more customers to local businesses.
Let's remember that the area north of Mohawk Rd. in Hamilton has lost 60,000 residents since 1981. I don't seem to recall the city knocking down 100 Century 21 towers.
Desantis claims, "the province's intensification targets cannot be achieved within only the downtown area and will ultimately destabilize existing neighbourhoods elsewhere in our city."
I'm sure the merchants in the Barton/Wentworth area or the Queenston/Kenilworth area would hate to see thousands of new residents living in their area. It might actually help mainstream businesses succeed in those neighbourhoods instead of just the drug and prostitution trades.
Maybe Mr. Desantis is referring to the amazing balance that has been achieved between pedestrians and automobiles in areas like the Meadowlands and Upper James. We'd sure hate to "destabilize" those pollution-spewing neighbourhoods built by our local development industry.
The real issue here is simple: this is an industry that has done as it pleased in this city since the post-war era: slap up thousands of cardboard boxes and sell them at an amazing profit with no regard for the health of the buyers or surrounding city.
Now, with smart growth initiatives being developed, the homebuilders in Hamilton might actually have to start being creative and start looking at the health and sustainability of streets and neighbourhoods instead of simply what's best for their wallets.
In the meantime, they should refrain from speaking on behalf of Hamilton's neighbourhoods and trying to get any of us to believe that more residents living walking distance from a commercial strip like Westdale, Locke South or Ottawa St. will somehow "destabilize" the neighbourhoods and send our city down the toilet.
It's the development practices of the past 30 years that have us hanging onto the inside of the bowl as the flusher is pushed over and over.
[Aside: DeSantis also writes, "Unfortunately, this very important debate was required prior to the greenbelt legislation being passed, not after." This, if anything, confirms the fantasy world that developers are living in. The "very important debate" has been raging in the mainstream for a decade and at the margins for some 40 years. -Ed]

A volunteer registration of insects for 18 consecutive years on the roof of the Natural History Museum of Denmark has revealed local insect community turnover due to climate change. The research suggests a pattern of specialised species being more sensitive to climate change.
1543 different species of moths and beetles and more than 250.000 individuals have been registered on a single urban rooftop in Copenhagen over 18 years of monitoring. That corresponds to 42% of all the species of moths in Denmark and 12% of the beetles. More interestingly, the insect community has changed significantly during that period. The results are published today in the Journal of Animal Ecology led by researchers from the Center for GeoGenetics and the Center for Macroecology, Evolution and Climate at the Natural History Museum of Denmark at the University of Copenhagen.
“As temperature increases we see a corresponding change in the insect community, specifically for the resource specialists – the insects that feed on only one species of plant. Earlier studies have confirmed that specialist species also respond rapidly to destruction of their habitats, so we are dealing with a very sensitive group of animals” says one of the lead authors postdoc Philip Francis Thomsen from the Center for GeoGenetics.
The nut weevil Curculio nucum is an example of a resource specialist, feeding only on hazel. It lives further north in Europe than its close relative the acorn weevil Curculio glandium, which feeds only on acorns. While the nut weevil was only registered in the first half of the study, the acorn weevil only appeared in the last part of the study, suggesting that specialist species are moving northwards in Europe.
Using the entire dataset, the study was able to confirm this trend and highlights the increased pressure on the most northern species, which may be ‘squeezed out’ of their range in the long term.
“We are likely to lose some specialist species as they retreat north, but more new specialist species will arrive from the south. This trend is theoretically expected but extremely rare to confirm with observations across this many species. Insects are often over-looked and under prioritised for long term studies” says the other lead author Peter Søgaard Jørgensen, PhD from the Center for Macroecology, Evolution and Climate.
Monitoring programs are not prioritised
It was two employees from the Natural History Museum of Denmark with extensive entomological expertise, Ole Karsholt and Jan Pedersen, who collected and identified all the insects. The monitoring took place every week from 1992 to 2009 through spring, summer and autumn using a light trap at the roof of the museum at 17.5 m height. What started out as a hobby based on scientific curiosity, ended up in an extensive faunal and climate change study.
“Long-term monitoring, even without a pre-defined purpose, can be of incredible value when trying to understand and predict biodiversity in a changing world. Species monitoring is under prioritised in Denmark and primarily driven by personal interest from committed enthusiasts. Without those individuals we would basically be in the dark about the majority of species in Denmark. The same is probably true for many other European countries. We hope this study can push nature monitoring back onto the political agenda” says Philip Francis Thomsen.
Volunteers register species new to Denmark
Seven species of moths and two species of beetles were registered for the first time in Denmark by Karsholt and Pedersen, including the multi-colored Asian lady beetle (Harmonia axyridis), which has since spread to most of the country and is now considered invasive. Also species living in habitats at least 10 km away were registered as well as some migrating moths from countries south of Denmark.
“Some insects are very mobile and only eat as larvae. It is therefore not unusual to find them further from their habitats as adults. However, it is an impressive diversity of species registered. Even though the study is limited to one site, there is no reason to believe that the trend we see here would be different at other sites” says Peter Søgaard Jørgensen.
Less than half a degree Celsius has consequences
For each group of species, the scientists calculated an index for the temperature related change across their entire habitat range in Europe for the study period. The specialist moth species experienced an increase of 0.14°C between 1993 and 2008 and the specialist beetle species 0.42°C between 1995 and 2008.
“The results confirm that climate change is impacting biodiversity right now. It is not something that will happen far into the future or only if we reach a two-degree temperature increase” says Peter Søgaard Jørgensen.

What Jeremiah anticipates in our first reading (“the days are coming”), Jesus fulfills (“Now is the time”). What is it that is anticipated and fulfilled? A new covenant with all people, a new people…now drawn to Jesus himself.
In the Gospel, some Greeks ask to see Jesus. Jesus responds by saying that anyone who loves his life will lose it; to gain your life you have to be like a grain of wheat which brings forth much fruit, but only by falling to the earth & dying.
The Greeks must have been baffled. What has this speech of Jesus’ got to do with their request to see him?
Jesus’ response helps those Greeks to see himthe true Lord, the One who did not come to get status and power, but who came to lose his life, to fall and die, like a grain of wheat. The point is made emphatically at the end of Jesus’ response to the Greeks. He ends with a prayer: “Father,” he prays, “glorify your name.” The true Lord came to seek God’s glory, not his own.
The final part of the lesson for the Greeks, and for us, comes in God’s response to Jesus’ prayer. God honors Jesus by answering his prayer out loud: “I have glorified my name, and I will glorify it again!” Yes, God’s voice came to finish the lesson: God honors those who seek to honor him.
In our society people often strive to gain glory for themselves, even if it means hurting others. Yet, as followers of Jesus, we strive to gain glory too. But our glory is a free gift of God granted to those who serve others by dying to self.
True glory lies not in status or power or name or authority, then, but, on the contrary, in being willing to fall and die like a grain of wheat. It lies in being willing to let go, to lose one’s life in this world for the glory of God’s name.
And so the Greeks do get what they asked for. In the response of Jesus to them, they, and we, see the true Lord, and with the true Lord, the pattern for glory in our lives, too.
Now is the time…stay near Him to see the glory He offers us, the new life He gives us, as He draws all people to Himself!

It’s bound to happen eventually, at some point in your college career: In your efforts to reach that far-off milestone of graduating and receiving your degree, a series of hurdles are placed in front of you. These hurdles take many forms, but the one we’re focusing on today is classes. That is, frankly, classes that really suck. Gen-eds, throwaway courses you only need for prerequisite credit, electives that sounded fun when you signed up; the horror of these classes is that whenever you even think about them, you just groan. Ugh.
Luckily, there are ways to make it through the slog of Ugh-classes. To make it through with your sanity intact, you need to find motivation, change your attitude, and get organized. These are all quite easier said than done, but nobody said college would be easy, right?
How to Find Motivation
There’s nothing quite like the frustration of having, for an entire semester, to endure a course that just reeks of uselessness. It isn’t always easy to see the utility of your courses, and it can be even harder to motivate yourself to make it through the slog. Harder, though, doesn’t mean impossible!
Try not to focus on the here-and-now when you get anxious about Ugh-classes. Don’t trick yourself into believing that this semester is going to take forever, and man does your life suck right now. Instead, focus on your long-term goals and how enduring “useless” courses will help you achieve them. You’re at college, first and foremost, for a degree, after all (I mean, right?). Keep your eye on the ball and look at each challenge, each semester’s worth of groans, as another step toward the glory you’ll feel receiving that degree. Just think of how great it’ll feel when you can look back and say, “Look what I went through for this!”
Sometimes this may not work, despite your best efforts. The day-to-day slog just gets too unbearable, and you find yourself staring at the clock and dreading each new assignment. In these cases, it’s best to find short-term motivation. Think of plans you have for that day, and how awesome they’ll be. Think of how this is just a few minutes of Ugh in an entire day of possibilities and choices. Think of how easy today’s assignments will be, because you’re a smart and capable college student. Don’t distract yourself or daydream during class, though. Pay attention, do your work, eat your vegetables, and all that. The point is that you need to put your mind in another place, any place, that stops you from stressing about something you can’t change.
If all else fails, the solution may end up being a simple attitude shift.
How to Change Your Attitude
It’s not always effective to find motivation when the framework you’re coming from is the belief that your course is useless. If you could just change that, make that simple alteration, things would be so much easier. Thankfully, it can be done.
Is your Ugh-class really useless? Are you sure? Think about the content in a different way than you’re used to. Surely something your professor is spouting has some kind of utility outside the classroom. Can you take what he or she is saying and apply it to any other aspect of your life? Are you gaining any skills that will help you in future courses? At the very least, maybe you’re improving your critical thinking skills, your reading ability, or your endurance. Maybe you’re just sharpening your work ethic. The key is to find something, anything, that makes this course worthwhile. When it starts to seem not completely useless, you’ll find that it becomes much easier to endure.
By the same token, reframe your attitude regarding the Ugh-class’s assignments. It’s not just mindless busywork. Not really. Instead, it’s all a valuable series of experiences that give you a glimpse into the corporate world! Bureaucracy abounds in the real world, chances are that you’ll have to deal with some pretty useless-seeming stuff. So while the assignments may be worthless taken alone, think of them as helping you build an internal résumé of bureaucratic work experience. Just imagine how much easier your future desk job will be since you’re taking the time to build your patience and work ethic early!
Not convinced, though? Certain this work isn’t preparing you for the real world? Not to worry; there are strategies for that, too.
How to Endure Busy Work
If you can’t get past the hurdle of seeing assignments as busywork, work for its own sake, you need some more concrete tactics. Organization, as it turns out, is everything.
Let’s start small. In my own experience, I’ve had assignments that shouldn’t take so long to complete, but man did I just not care one bit about them. The motivation to actually start working often eclipses the challenge of the work itself. To remedy this, put yourself in an environment more conducive to productivity. Get out of the dorm room and into the library. If you don’t work well with friends around, give yourself a few minutes alone to get your work done. Give your roommate your game system and iPod and tell him or her to take a half-hour walk. Do anything you can to improve your surroundings, because you need all the help you can get.
Large assignments are a bit more tricky. In addition to the anxiety that comes before you even begin, the sheer size of the assignment makes it difficult to complete. How will you ever get it all done? Put this thought to rest and replace it with another: This isn’t so bad. Split a big project into multiple smaller parts and dedicate a day to each of them. That way, you don’t have a hulking beast to deal with; you have a few small, adorable mini-beasts! If that doesn’t work, you may have to just gather the willpower and get the whole thing done in one or two sittings. Head to the library and stay there for six hours. Heck, I’ve had upperclassmen friends spend more hours within the library some days than outside. To some, this may sound like torture, but others work well like this. Sometimes you may be filled with a bubble of inspiration and work ethic, and you need to take advantage of it. Use its inertia to power you through as much of the project as you can get done.
With these tips, and maybe some ingenious ideas of your own, you can conquer Ugh-classes and make your way ever-closer to graduation. Won’t that be fun? | <urn:uuid:f4e39924-39db-44e1-858e-62b00e3273a7> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.theprospect.net/how-to-get-through-a-class-you-despise-60723 | 2019-07-23T16:41:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.957751 | 1,467 |

Today’s post is by Steph Godderidge, part of our wonderful 6Heads family.
Why does climate change evoke such strong opinions?
One of the questions that came up on the excellent FutureLearn online course ‘Our Changing Climate: past, present and future‘, offered by the Walker Institute (you can still join – it’s free) was:
Climate change evokes strong opinions and heated debates among politicians, business, students and the public. Why do you think this is? What is your view on the matter, and why?
Many people answered the ‘why’ – but I’m really more interested in the ‘how’.
As part of my job running www.climateandus.com I read a lot of articles and associated comments about climate change. I’ve also been to a few conferences on the matter and listened to IPPC scientists as well as more media-friendly people such as Sir David King and Naomi Klein.
The things that strike me most are those:
- Online articles – on any topic – tend to polarise opinions in the extreme; everyone can be an expert when is no accountability to speak of, and the temptation is great to abuse facts and science (some of it dubious) to support whatever belief you happen to hold. As a result, there is very little middle ground.
- The debate is stuck around apportioning blame: the scientific community is either trying to justify further funding for their research, or intent on destroying capitalism. The deniers are either idiots or minions of the fossil-fuel industry. Either way – we’re all just shouting at each other, and definitely not listening.
- Most talks about climate change use language so obscure, and their delivery is so bland, that they make your ears bleed. Even those aiming to make the topic more accessible fail rather miserably: I recently went to see 2071 – allegedly a play, but in fact no more than a rehash of facts and figures, delivered with authority for sure, but very little life. And those talks intended for a lay audience tend to preach to the converted. I went to hear Naomi Klein talk about her new book ‘This changes everything: capitalism vs the climate’. A good speaker, and very engaging, she was unfortunately talking to the wrong audience – people who already agree with her, and some religiously so. She might as well have said nothing at all, for the difference she made.
- Most importantly though, we are telling the wrong story. This is not about saving the planet; it is about saving ourselves. The planet will survive, no matter what (until it implodes at some point, and becomes something else, or nothing else – but that’s another story!) Only when we start telling the RIGHT story, and make it engaging enough, will people stop bickering about the side plots, and hang around to find out not only what’s coming next, but how they can be part of it.
6-heads is a platform that we would love you to be part of. If you have a project you would like to share with our community, an event you would like to host (we can support you to run one) or an idea you would you can’t wait to blog about then definitely want to hear from you.

My baby is 6 month old and I have given cow milk since 2 days and baby poop color is mustard with whitish curds and constipated is it normal or not 😟
Please stop asap animal milk. In case you have not enough breastfeed,then go for good formula.like Enfamil or ask to your doc. As well now kid is 6 month old then please give purees n juices or soup. But no animal milk till 2 years it has very high protien which is very harmful. Thanks
Hi i am cesarean delivered 3months ago then I can fit myself so i can use skiprope Is this good for me Or not
Hi dear, congratulations and welcome to motherhood. Any sort of exercise is not advices post csection till 9 to 10 months because internally body needs time to heal up, Skipping rope is not advisable till 3yrs because chances of uterus coming down increases.

It’s become a joke now. Johnson products being picked up for using harmful ingredients. Production being stopped (happened for talc last year) and huge negative cries around shampoo having formaldehyde. Govt bodies conduct a battery of tests on both the products. And guess what happens? They give clear chit to Johnson, declaring that the products carry no harmful ingredients! What’s next? Another product being picked up and again negative news carried around to play with moms emotions? I mean, guys, Johnson baby isn’t a local player. It’s an international brand. It’s not a 10yr old brand. It’s 150yrs old brand! Let them focus on what they do best- innovate and formulate safer, gentler products for babies! Johnson mom for life. Any other mum whois baffled by this media hype regarding this product?? https://theprint.in/india/govt-says-jj-baby-shampoo-safe-months-after-it-was-flagged-for-cancer-causing-substance/248267/

Opposition to Reimportation ‘Compelling,’ Surgeon General Says
In an interview on Tuesday, Surgeon General Richard Carmona said testimony by drug industry officials opposing the reimportation of prescription drugs from other nations because of the risks posed by counterfeit drugs was "compelling," the AP/Miami Herald reports (AP/Miami Herald, 4/7). On Monday, the 13-member Task Force on Drug Importation, which is chaired by Carmona, held its second meeting on reimportation as part of a study mandated by the new Medicare law on the safety of reimportation and its effect on drug development. The task force, members of which were appointed by HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson, can consult with other federal officials and will hold a total of six "listening sessions" with consumer advocates, health care purchasers, providers, health care industry representatives, international stakeholders and the public. In the first meeting, consumer advocates testified that a safe reimportation system could be established. At Monday's meeting, drug company executives said that allowing reimportation would lower companies' incentive to invest in new medications and allow more prescription drug counterfeiting, which the executives said is a growing problem involving organized crime and some terrorist groups. The results of the study must be reported to Congress by Dec. 1, although Thompson wants the task force to finish by mid-summer (California Healthline, 4/6).
According to Carmona, the task force members "were not aware of the extremely robust counterfeiting system." He said, "I understand that corporate America is going to want to keep their stake in the market. But some of the evidence they presented, irrespective of their stake in the market, was compelling." He added that counterfeiting "would pose significant challenges to any importation plan that we may be considering in the future." Carmona said that supporters of reimportation must realize that "this is not simply, 'Pick a pharmacy across the border and just walk across and get your medication.' It's an extraordinarily complex problem that challenges the best minds in the field." However, Carmona said that the task force "has not closed the door" on finding a way to institute a reimportation program as long as the program could guarantee patient safety, the AP/Herald reports (AP/Miami Herald, 4/7).This is part of the California Healthline Daily Edition, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

What is Cold Water Extraction?
Cold water extraction, or shortly CWE is a physicochemical procedure in which a substance is extracted from a mixture through cold water. It is a type of fractional crystallization. This procedure is based on solubility differences of different substances in a low temperature mixture. CWE involves taking a combination of substances, dissolving them in warm water, and then rapidly cooling the mixture.
Insoluble compounds will precipitate out of the water, while the soluble ones stay dissolved. The solution can then be separated by decantation or filtration. It is commonly used to separate out opiate drugs that have been mixed with common non-opiate-based analgesics.
So, Opiates such as morphine, codeine, hydrocodone and oxycodone are much more soluble in cold water comparing to acetaminophen, aspirin and ibuprofen so they will be dissolved, while acetaminophen, aspirin and ibuprofen will be precipitated.
Why is Cold Water Extraction performing?
Many opioid drugs combination such as Vicodin (hydrocodone), Lortab (Hydrocodone/paracetamol), Lorcet, Tylenol forte, Percocet etc., may be harmful for the patient. A cold water extraction is a procedure that is most commonly used to remove acetaminophen (paracetamol) from such combinations.
CWE also works fine with aspirin and to a slighter extent with ibuprofen, which may be all very toxic if they are taken in high doses together with opioid drugs and overdosed. Serious side effects may result in permanent liver damage.
Acetaminophen’s hepatotoxicity is one of the major causes of poisoning worldwide, and in the UK and US, it is one of the most common cause of acute liver failure. By performing cold water extraction acetaminophen and aspirin can be easily removed from prescription pills.
Manufacturers and health professionals generally recommended that adults with no issues may take no more than 4 grams of acetaminophen during a day, and not more than 1g APAP at once, however in some cases, and in predisposed patients, even the lower doses may cause liver damage. Cold water extraction is most commonly used with Hydrocodone/acetaminophen, Oxycodone/acetaminophen and Codeine/acetaminophen medications.
There is one exception of this rule. Many opioid/analgesic combinations also contain caffeine. Such products can be also used with the knowledge that the most of the caffeine dose will ended in the finished product. Most patients should not matter, however some patients with issues after taking caffeine have to be warned!
Cold Water Extraction preparation
The main idea is that acetaminophen and aspirin are hardly soluble in water. However, most opioids are very soluble in water. Acetaminophen and Aspirin are soluble in methanol, ethanol, ethylene dichloride, dimethyl-formamide, acetone and ethyl acetate; slightly soluble in ether; very soluble in cold water, considerably more soluble in hot water.
The best temperature of water to extract acetaminophen or aspirin is about 10C/50F. Solubility is given in table below:
|Type||Solubility (31C/88F water)||Solubility (21C/70F water)|
|Acetaminophen||1g/ 70ml||1g/ 159ml|
Extraction works because the opioids will be dissolved into the cold water and leaves the APAP, aspirin, or ibuprofen behind. Also, the aspirin will be able to be caught in your filter.
If capsules are, you will not need to crush them, they only need to be opened and their content poured into water. Capsules are also much easier to dissolve. If you don’t have capsules, tablets/pills should be crushed before performing the CWE.
How to do a cold water extraction?
Cold water extraction step by step
CWE is relatively quick to do apart from cooling the water. You should just crush the tablets, or open capsules and pour their content, dissolve them in water, and strain the mixture through a filter. Below are steps that you should follow:
- Crush your tablets into a fine powder. Try to minimize powder loss. If you have capsules, simply open them and pour the content.
Tip: Put tablets in a Ziplock bag. Use some object to crush all tablets into a fine powder without perforating the bag.
- Fine powder should be dissolved into warm water. You should get hot water from your tap and it should not be too hot, because boiling water may destroy the opioid molecule. Put the water in a bowl or container that should be with a wide surface area, allowing the mixture to cool more quickly. Add the powder to about ½ or ¾ cup of water.
Tip: It is always better to have too much water than not to have enough.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature on for about 10-20 minutes. Stir it every few minutes until it is completely dissolved. Mixture should not be cooled to too quickly, because codeine may be destroyed within. Leave it sit on the counter for a period of time, until it is at or near room temperature.
- Put the bowl or container with a mixture into the freezer to be cold enough. This is where magic happens. You do not need to put the lid on the container. You should leave it until it is extremely cold to the touch. However, do not let it freeze! This might take up to 20 or 25 minutes.
- The next step is filtration. You can use for that filter paper, cheesecloth, coffee filter, or even aeropress. A handkerchief might also work well if you do not have mentioned stuff. Put the filter at the top of a cup and secure it with a tape. Pour slowly the mixture into the filtered cup. Do not pour in too much water and do not touch the filter, as you make break it and have to do filtering again.
- When appears that filter is done with dripping into the cup and there is nothing left to be filtered, you will then get a dense, marshmallow-like substance. You can the squeeze the contents of the old filters via new filter to save any remaining moisture. You also add more water to the marshmallow mixture and re-filter it; nevertheless it isn’t necessary to do.
- Drink your filtered mixture and throw away the acetaminophen/ibuprofen/aspirin. The most of these should have been successfully removed. The solution might be really bitter, so you can mix it with something sweet for better taste. | <urn:uuid:948f870d-2aa0-4cd6-a908-f50b9bc71b4e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://drugsdetails.com/cold-water-extraction/ | 2019-07-23T15:51:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.928776 | 1,419 |

In this edition, CEO, Franchisor, and Owner Nick Lopez of LIME Painting Franchising speaks of his experience as an entrepreneur in creating a great brand and how LIME exceeds our own standards AND those of our customers. We highlight our home improvement and painting franchise model.
Read part one of the Q & A here!
While uncompromising in motivation and strategic in all business decisions, Nick didn’t initially know he had started something as scaleable and easily run when he was painting homes and providing home improvement services just to get through University.
In a Q & A interview with Total Prestige Magazine, Nick discusses LIME Painting as a business and as a franchise opportunity.
Now is the time to join LIME Painting as a Franchise Owner.
How does LIME Painting Company go about working with a customer? Can you walk us through the steps from when a client contacts the company until the job is finished?
With a LIME Painting Franchise, Owners have two main employees & positions:
- Account managers
- Production coordinators
What do these employees do?
From the point that a customer contacts LIME, the account manager assesses the property, builds a scope of recommendations, and advises the customer on the scope of work.
Prior to the project kicking off, the account manager schedules all contractors needed from designers to craftsmen consisting of masons, carpenters, gutter installers, and painters.
Once production begins, the production coordinator works directly with the account manager, customer, and contractors to coordinate the logistics of the account from finding the right color to providing samples and auditing each phase of the recommended scope to ensure a job well done.
The account manager provides a final walk-through with the customer and closes out the account. Project scopes vary, but LIME’s 10-step production model helps to ensure consistency and reliability while also ensuring quality.
Lopez has found high-end properties to be a ‘blessing’. His career and responsive work impressed many property owners in the beginning, and helped to grow the business early on. Now, working on high-end properties is one of LIME’s calling cards.
You work with many high-end property owners. What kind of care does it take to work with such valuable properties compared to others?
Working on high-end custom properties is very much a blessing that comes with a great deal of responsibility. At LIME, we have a saying that sets the foundation for how we approach our craft: “We work in a beautiful place, for beautiful people, and with beautiful people.”
Being a part of a premium brand that is best in class for customer service and expertise means that we do what we say and we do it with integrity and a commitment to meet or exceed customer expectations.
Our culture is very much about excellence and being the best version of ourselves personally and as a company.
LIME’s work on high-end properties results in an excellent customer experience. It’s much like what separates a four-star hotel from a five-star hotel: exceptional customer service and best-in-class service expertise.
About Franchising with LIME
As a home improvement business and painting franchise, we understand the market is saturated with painting franchise opportunities but luckily for us we DO NOT compete with these concepts!
We are the only painting franchise that focuses solely on high-end homes and businesses that have values of $1 Million or more.
Typically, high-end properties need more than just a coat of paint, which is why we offer 15 distinct services all while educating clients on options to maximize the value of their investment.
Our luxury approach revolves around our meticulous prep, process and product selection which are unique to each project and client as we execute a tailor-made result that lasts the test of time.
As we expand nationally, Franchise Owners choose to partner with us because of our infectious culture, turnkey model, low cost, and the ability to generate high returns. While the industry average paint job costs around $2,800, our average ticket is around $11,000 allowing our Owners to complete 30% fewer projects than traditional painting concepts.
With almost 4x the ticket amount, less projects, repeat business and few employees, we make the operational aspect of running a LIME Painting and home improvement franchise simple and scalable.

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) uses virtualization software to partition physical servers into multiple "virtual" servers—each having the ability to run its own operating system and applications. VPS is not for everyone, but is quickly becoming the hosting preference of choice for advanced Web developers who require root access to the server to run their own software.
Speaking of email and limits, you'll want the ability to create an unlimited number of accounts. Should your website grow significantly, you'll appreciate being able to scale your email accounts without spending additional money. Web hosts typically place a cap on the amount of storage per email account. In other words, you may be able to create an unlimited number of email accounts, but each one may have a 10GB storage cap. Take time to investigate a potential web host's email offerings so as not to be surprised by its messaging limitations. Again, find out what the unlimited gotchas might be.
InMotion Hosting has a Managed Hosting team of system administrators trained to help customers with much more advanced customization, optimization and support. Launch Assist is 2 hours of Managed Hosting upon purchase of your VPS to help you configure your partition almost any way you want it. Normally, these two hours with our top tech guys costs $99, but all VPS Hosting customers receive it free as a part of their purchase.
Getting started with a managed VPS hosting is easy with Bluehost as your VPS hosting provider. Simply choose from our Standard, Enhanced, or Ultimate VPS hosting packages based on the amount of resources your website needs and follow the sign up instructions. Once you have an account, you can easily upgrade to more resources from within your customer dashboard.
Typically, a web hosting service gives you the option of selecting either a traditional hard drive or a solid-state drive as your website's storage medium. Traditional hard drives have large capacities and lower prices, but they aren't quite as resilient as their SSD counterparts. Solid-state drives, on the other hand, are often faster and more reliable than HDDs, but they cost more and have smaller storage capacities. Unless you truly need blazing speed, a traditional hard drive should get the job done.
We hope the above better explains unmanaged virtual private servers to you. If you think unmanaged virtual private servers is right for you, please look above for our most recent unmanaged virtual private servers real user VPS reviews. We are positive you'll be able to choose the right unmanaged virtual private servers that is right for your needs.
While Dedicated Server Hosting offers isolated hardware, where resources such as disk input/output and host network connections are not shared, it also requires a significant upfront investment and a higher level of technical capability to manage it. With VPS Hosting, you share a server with other customers, but remain isolated from those other users on the server. With Virtual Private Server Hosting you are granted your own section of a partitioned dedicated server with a guaranteed threshold of dedicated RAM, storage and bandwidth and have the ability to customize this partition, much like a dedicated server. VPS Hosting provides a more cost-effective and scalable option for growing businesses when compared to Dedicated Server Hosting. On the other hand, with Shared Hosting you share a portion of the server with other users, potentially affecting your output if other users on the same server are experiencing high traffic.
Many Web hosting companies use virtual servers for their clients, as they can offer a viable and a cost-efficient service, through it. As Virtual Servers doesn’t use the entire resources on its host computer, they can be dedicated for individual client server applications. Since, the web hosting company hosts small virtual servers on a single physical server, the cost of web hosting can be achieved at lower costs. Moreover, there will be no change in the working and services offered by the websites, which are hosted on virtual servers. As they get the same effect of being hosted on dedicated servers.
WHM's Backup Configuration section is one of the most powerful and vital tools for an administrator of multiple sites. It allows you to manage each of your individual cPanel backups separately, giving you the choice of backup cadence (daily, weekly, monthly and manually) and location. Preserving your clients business-critical files, data and site content is of the utmost importance. Work with your clients on implementing a backup schedule and location that is appropriate for their site(s) and make sure they have the peace of mind that their data and site material are safe.
It works quite like shared hosting, as both of them are virtual hosting. However, shared hosting does not allow to extend or modify server settings. VPS hosting is more like a dedicated physical server on a virtual platform. You can manage and set up VPS for your requirements, as it is a separate server. Also, VPS server can be operated by a control panel that can be installed with a few clicks from the client system or the terminal command line. It means that you can even choose the same control panel as it is on shared hosting.
With our dedicated servers, you rent an entire server. This is optimal for people that have very high traffic to their websites or need to setup their server in a very specific way. Not everyone needs to have a fully dedicated web server however. If you're just getting started with your website, you can save quite a bit of money if you rent a small portion of the server. Shared hosting is when you share a portion of the server with other users rather than rent an entire server to yourself.
You’re paying more, so there SHOULD be a minimum uptime guarantee and better server speed. Look for a host that offers 99.5% at a very minimum, although ideally, I’d rather go with someone who offers 99.9%. Search through some reviews as there are many who have put this to the test. For example, any of WHSR’s many web host reviews include an uptime record as one of our key tests.
If you want a larger selection of software options that you'll be able to install on your VPS with a single click, we recommend our Softaculous Premium solution. You'll be able to 1-click setup the web's most popular software solutions including WordPress. Choose from a number of other solutions as well including Joomla, Drupal, Ghost and so many more.
cPanel and WHM give you all the power you need when managing multiple sites, domains and clients. Create as many cPanel accounts as you need within WHM's account dashboard, assigning the cPanels to each respective property. Once set up and assigned, you can view usage, manage account stats, modify, upgrade or suspend accounts and much more. This allows you to manage your server exactly how you want it, including splitting your clients up for billing, resource and support purposes.
You can choose to create additional VPCs by going to the Amazon VPC page on the AWS Management Console and selecting the "Start VPC Wizard" button. You’ll be presented with four basic network topologies. Select the one that most closely resembles the network topology that you’d like to create and choose the "Create VPC" button. Once the VPC has been created, you can begin launching Amazon EC2 instances into your VPC. | <urn:uuid:0675e901-d953-40bc-a4cb-0157ed571b6a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://lowcostwindowsvpshosting.com/server-vs-switch.html | 2019-07-23T15:31:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.954045 | 1,505 |
(MENAFN - The Peninsula) The Peninsula
The second session of the first day of the international conference on ‘National, Regional and International Mechanisms to Combat Impunity and Ensure Accountability under International Law', discussed ways to protect and promote human rights through action to combat impunity. The session covered three main topics including the right to know, the right to justice and the right to compensation. It also discussed providing guarantees of non-repetition.
The Chair of the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar Marzuki Darusman stressed the need to strengthen the desire of everyone with regards to uncovering the facts and exposing the violators of human rights, in order to ensure justice and equity.
He added that legal responsibility is linked to accountability, trial and prosecution, which leads to the acknowledgment of violations and reparation. He pointed to the role played by the mission of the Myanmar fact-finding mission in light of the violations of the authorities were accused and the obstacles and suffering it faced to complete its work and task. By a Security Council resolution in 2017.
He pointed out that the final report of the mission presented observations that were not at the heart of its work. He pointed out that among these observations, the objection to some of the findings of the mission, as it was prevented from entering some areas inside Myanmar and investigate, especially that about one million people and some residents in the affected areas were displaced to neighboring countries, but the mission met with them and heard about violations.
He pointed out that after the month of September next will be adopted a special mechanism by the Human Rights Council, noting in this regard to the mission to recommend that there be a special court on the crimes committed in Myanmar, similar to that done to deal with the crimes of Yugoslavia, something that is now the subject of consideration and international thinking.
Executive Director of the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect Dr Simon Adams praised the government of the State of Qatar after it established an objective mechanism to deal with a number of important international issues. 'Impunity is one of the main causes of violence and crime, and the lack of justice for massacres opens the appetite for others.
He pointed to the need for concerted international efforts to prevent such incidents from repetition, such as those that occurred in Syria, where the Syrian regime launched chemical attacks on civilians in 2013 and did not take legal accountability for the crime committed by the repeated attacks with chemical weapons six times after the absence of a real deterrent.
He stressed that fact-finding missions and organizations dealing with the detection of international massacres should be given special powers to directly identify and bring to justice the perpetrators and to bring them to justice, pointing out that the most harmful to the conduct of investigations at the time of the massacres is that the victims are unknown and not named as the actors.
He stressed the need to first define the perpetrators of crimes and subject them to the rule of law.
He highlighted that the disregard for justice has made crimes more prevalent in the countries of the world and set an example of this incident, killing 40 children of students in Yemen in the rocket attack there and No one is convicted in that incident. | <urn:uuid:a186c181-ef17-4c13-bc20-2dab550d8dc3> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://menafn.com/1098389915/Qatar-Meet-discusses-ways-to-protect-human-rights?src=Rss | 2019-07-23T15:30:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.955413 | 637 |
Organization of Iranian American Communities Presents:
Brief On IRAN Newsletter (BOI)
News on Iran & Related
Protests by Iran Sugar Mill workers continue; other workers join
“We are the workers of Ahvaz steel. We will fight against tyranny,” the workers were chanting.
The workers of Iran National Steel Industrial Group in Ahvaz gathered for the 15th day of their strikes and protest On Saturday, Nov 23, 2018, demanding their unpaid salaries.
The workers began their demonstration in front of the Khuzestan governorate. The workers were chanting, “Shame on a government that deceives the people.” During their march, the protesters stopped in front of the Bank-e Meli (National Bank) for another round of slogans and speeches, in which they addressing the government, saying, “Congratulations on your bondage with the mafia,” a reference to the widespread government corruption that is taking its toll on the livelihoods of the workers and their families.
In the meantime according to reports, frustration with water shortages in Iran’s central city Esfahan is growing, with farmers seen wearing white vest symbolizing the grave shrouds, a sign that they will be standing for their rights to the ultimate cost.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Saturday called on Muslims including those in Saudi Arabia, Iran’s regional rival to oppose the United States. He also labeled Israel a “fake regime” created by Western nations, and likened its formation following World War II to “a cancerous tumor in the region.”
Speaking at the annual Islamic Unity Conference in Tehran, Rouhani said the U.S. wants to enslave the Middle East. He said regional Muslim nations should stop “rolling out the red carpet for criminals,” a thinly-veiled criticism of Saudi Arabia and other regional nations that have close ties to the U.S.
Shiite-dominated Iran and Saudi Arabia, ruled by a Sunni king, are often on opposite sides of conflicts in the Middle East. Most notably, Iran backs the Houthi rebels in the ongoing civil war in Yemen, while Saudi Arabia leads a coalition of Sunni nations supporting the Yemeni government. The two nations haven’t had diplomatic ties in nearly three years, following Iran’s execution of a Shi’ite cleric.
Despite those differences, Rouhani said Iran considers the Saudis “brothers.”
“We do consider the people of Mecca and Media [Islam’s holiest cities, located in Saudi Arabia] our brothers,” Rouhani said. He added that Iran is prepared to defend Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region from “terrorism and superpowers.”
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – European Union foreign ministers showed cautious support on Monday for possible new economic sanctions on Iran in a shift of policy after accusations of Iranian attack plots in France and Denmark, diplomats said. Denmark and France briefed their EU counterparts at a meeting in Brussels on the alleged plots and ministers agreed to consider targeted sanctions on Iranians in response, although no details or names were discussed, five diplomats told Reuters.
Though still at an early stage, the EU’s readiness to penalize Iranians would be the first such move in years after months of internal division over how to punish Iranians accused of destabilizing activities in Europe and the Middle East. Until now, the EU has been straining to uphold the 2015 nuclear accord between Iran and world powers that U.S. President Donald Trump pulled out of in May. It has been less willing to consider sanctions, instead seeking talks with Tehran.
Iran has warned it could ditch the nuclear deal if EU powers do not protect its trade and financial benefits.
France has already imposed sanctions on two Iranians and Iran’s intelligence service over what it says was a failed plot to carry out a bomb attack at a rally near Paris organized by an exiled Iranian opposition group. One option is to establish those asset freezes at an EU-wide level, diplomats said.
Iran has not declared all its chemical weapons capabilities to the global chemical warfare watchdog in The Hague, in breach of international agreements, the U.S. ambassador to the organization said Thursday.
Ambassador Kenneth Ward told the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) that Iran has failed to declare a production facility for the filling of aerial bombs and maintains a program to obtain banned toxic munitions. “The United States has had long-standing concerns that Iran maintains a chemical-weapons program that it failed to declare to the OPCW,” Ward said. “The United States is also concerned that Iran is pursuing central nervous system-acting chemicals for offensive purposes,” he added.
There was no immediate reaction from Iran to Ward’s remarks, which add to tensions with Washington over Iran’s nuclear program, terrorism and the war in Syria.
Ward said Iran had failed to declare the transfer of chemical weapons to Libya in the 1980s, even after Libya declared them to the OPCW in 2011. He cited the discovery of chemical-filled artillery projectiles, mortars and aerial bombs of Iranian origin as proof that Iran did not fully disclose its capabilities.
Ward’s allegations come amid growing pressure on Iran from President Donald Trump, who has withdrawn from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and introduced several rounds of unilateral U.S. sanctions.
On Wednesday morning of November 21, the inhumane clerical regime, in a brutal act, hanged three prisoners collectively in public in Shiraz on the mullah-made charge of moharebeh (fighting with God).
While in spite of arbitrary arrests and all kinds of suppressive measures, protests by the various strata of the population, including the strikes and demonstrations of brave workers of Ahvaz Steel and Haft Tappeh Sugacane, have been spreading, the clerical regime has resorted to public executions in order to step up the atmosphere of terror and to prevent an outbreak of people’s anger.
The Iranian Resistance calls on the all international human rights advocates, in particular the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran and the rapporteur on arbitrary executions, to condemn these brutal executions and to take immediate action to stop this medieval sentencing. Any relation with the regime of Velayat-e faqih should be contingent upon improving the human rights situation.
DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran said on Sunday that no fatalities had been reported but that more than 400 people were injured after an earthquake of magnitude 6.3 struck near its western border with Iraq, Iranian state TV reported.
The tremor was also felt in the Iraqi capital Baghdad and in Kuwait. “We have had 411 injured, 80 percent of whom have been treated and released … No fatalities have been reported,” Houshang Bazvand, governor of the western province of Kermanshah, told state TV.
Fears of aftershocks sent people in several cities in Kermanshah province out onto the streets and parks in cold weather, Iranian media reported. Rescue teams were immediately deployed to the quake-hit area.
“No reports of any fatalities yet and most of the injured were hurt while fleeing, not due to quake damage,” Pirhossein Koulivand, head of Iran’s emergency services, told state TV.
State TV reported minor damage at some buildings in the area. The quake triggered landslides but officials said all the roads in the area remained open to traffic and that electricity had been restored in most of areas hit by the tremor. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said the earthquake occurred at a depth of 65 km (40 miles) and struck 114 km northwest of the city of Ilam, close to Iran’s border with Iraq.
A new book published this week by the Iranian opposition (NCRI) offers details on how and why the Iranian regime has escalated its global terror operations. “This book examines the motivation behind the regime’s political and economic strategy by considering three areas: terrorism including in Europe and the United States, incitement of regional conflicts, and the ballistic missile threat. Failing to quell growing popular protests against their rule, the mullahs have opted to bolster domestic suppression with blatant terrorism and intimidation.”
In June 2018, a Belgium, French and German security forces arrested 2 Iranians and a senior Iranian diplomat named Asadollah Assadi,for plotting to bomb the Free Iran 2018 rally in Paris. Given the increase in anti-government protests and international pressure, Iran has clearly ramped up its terror network in Europe.
The Iranian regime’s targeting of the pro-democracy rally in the heart of Europe is a clear indication that the mullahs are willing to do anything with enormous risks to deliver blow to the viable alternative to the Iranian regime as its very survival is being threatened by the Iranian people and their organized opposition.
Tehran’s desperate stepped up terrorism must be confronted decisively. It is time for the U.S. to urge all its European counterparts to close the Iranian regime’s embassies as they act as centers for plotting terrorism.
Join us in condemning Iranian regime state sponsored terrorism and in expressing support for the desire of the Iranian people for a democratic, secular, and non-nuclear republic in Iran.

Isobel is only seventeen, but she’s a master at her craft. She paints portraits of fair folk, tricksy immortal creatures who cannot perform any craft of their own, from cooking to sewing to writing. Isobel is rightfully wary of the fairies, whose payments often turn sour, but when she meets the Autumn Prince, she notices something different about him. When he sits for a portrait, Isobel recognizes human emotion and paints sorrow in his eyes, unknowingly committing a crime for which the prince steals her away to the Autumnlands to stand trial.
Isobel is my favorite type of protagonist in a YA fantasy romance—headstrong, organized, and practical. She’s not normally the sort of girl you would expect to fall in love at all, much less with a fairy prince. The road to the Autumnlands is my favorite section of the book, which includes their burgeoning feelings toward one another amid the dangers like the Wild Hunt’s hounds, barrow monsters, and an earth tainted by the Alder King. First, Isobel saves the prince, then she doesn’t run away, and before you know it, they’re a team, even if she hasn’t admitted to herself that she’s in love.
If I were to change one thing about the romance, it would be that the Autumn Prince wouldn’t fall in love with the first human he’s seen in hundreds of years, as it trivializes their relationship. The inciting incident in which Isobel paints human sorrow in the eyes of the Autumn Prince doesn’t quite feel believable for me. In addition, I would prefer a backstory or further reasoning behind the law that it’s forbidden for a fairy and a human to fall in love. However, the general premise of forbidden fairy craft works well, the depiction of the fairies themselves and the Autumnlands is lovely and otherworldly, and the resolution is bigger and more satisfying than I imagined.
Recommended for fans of enchanting forbidden romance!

When I moved to Los Angeles, I had no apartment, no car, and no job.
Well, we can cross car off of this list, which will help me get around and find the other two!
This is my first car and I still can’t help you find buy a new car because I have no experience.
However, after buying a used car, I can tell you a bit about my process.
I was looking for a foreign car, the newer the better, with as few miles on it as possible, and I wanted to keep the price low. Obviously, those requirements can mean a lot of things to different dealers, so I had to set some limits. Nothing older than 2003 and nothing over 70,000 miles. The biggie, was keeping the price under $9,000.
I love negotiating, so I was a little excited to start the process, but I also knew the reputation of used car dealers, so I wasn’t ecstatic about having to negotiate against these types of people.
My first instinct was to have someone else do my work for me. I wanted to use an auto-buying service to get my vehicle. The way it works is that you pay an up-front cost, give them your specific requirements, and they contact dealers for you, delivering the car for you. This eliminates the private dealers that you may find on craigslist, but it also saves a lot of time looking at cars and leaves the work to an expert, which can be nice if you know nothing about cars.
Still, I figured with all my free time, I should probably be doing this myself, for practice if for no other reason. I went online, found several used car dealers in the area that had reasonable prices, and started visiting some dealers.
The first few were underwhelming with high prices, and I figured out that fees were going to add another 10-11% to the price, so I’d either have to go with a lower quality car, more miles, or increase my price point. Over the past few years, fewer people have been buying new cars and more people want to save by buying used, so there’s been a lot of demand but lower supply. As a result, the cost of used cars has skyrocketted as much as 25% over the past year.
I found a few cars that peaked my interest, and one dealer in particular had great prices. Why? Because he was selling cars that had salvage titles. What this means is that there enough damage to the car at some point that an insurance company determined that the price to fix it would be higher than the value of the vehicle. The dealer took these cars in, fixed them up, and then resold them. No warranty, just drive it off the lot and it’s yours.
Now, not all salvage title vehicles are lemons. In fact, Lauren bought a car 5 years ago from this same guy and her car is still in excellent condition. I wasn’t totally opposed to a salvaged vehicle, but I wanted to learn more details about the type of damage, and of course, I prefered to deal with a car that I knew wouldn’t need much work for at least a few years.
After about two weeks of looking at cars, I narrowed down my search to a few cars. On Thursday evening, I test drove a 2006 Nissan Sentra. It was nice, but needed a few fixes, including tire alignment, which made the car shake a little when driving. Still, it was the best deal I had seen, so I planned on negotiating a little more the next morning and getting the problems fixed.
There was one last car I was interested in, a 2007 Hyundai Elantra, so I drove out about 45 minutes to the dealer and took a look at the car. I wanted to be sure of my purchase instead of possibly regretting it. When I got there, I test drove the car and absolutely loved it. It was a smooth drive, a reasonable price, and a clean record. If I could negotiate a little on the price, I was going to drive it home.
After some back and forth with the salesman and some uncomfortable silences, we agreed on a final price of $10,550, about $1,000 off the sticker price. And now I’m the proud new owner of a car!
Readers, do you remember your first car buying experience? | <urn:uuid:a95f086a-3557-425f-bb00-8a678ffd9cd5> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://sweatingthebigstuff.com/my-first-car-buying-experience/ | 2019-07-23T15:44:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.986211 | 919 |
Dr. Alveda King Defends Trump’s Cabinet Picks Against Claims They are Racist
Dr. King, the niece of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was particularly upset by the liberal condemnation of Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), who president-elect Trump has tapped to be his Attorney General. Many of the mainstream media outlets have been directly reporting the liberal attack Sen. Sessions without debunking the myth that Sessions is a racist. Meaning, the outlets have parroted the anti-Sessions talking points without actually taking the time to find out if the attacks are true.
However the idea that Sessions is a racist is hogwash. The folks at the Resurgent compiled a short list of powerful evidences proving the point.
- Senator Sessions marched alongside Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the march in Selma, Alabama.
- Sessions has a long history of fighting AGAINST segregation in Alabama, even when it hurt his political fortunes.
- Senator Sessions sought the death penalty for the leader of the KKK in Alabama when he was a prosecutor.
- Senator Sessions voted for the extension of the Civil Rights Act.
- He voted to confirm Eric Holder as Attorney General.
- He cosponsored legislation to lower the penalty for crack possession to come in line with the penalties for cocaine powder possession because the crack penalties unfairly punished members of the African-American community.
- He led the fight to award Rosa Parks the Congressional Medal of Honor.
- As the U.S. Attorney he filed several desegregation lawsuits in Alabama.
Senator Sessions also has some strong personal witnesses who can testify to his true character. A prominent African-American lawyer in Alabama, Donald V. Watkins, first met Sessions when they were both students in law school and Sessions asked Watkins to join the Young Republicans. Mr. Watkins recently penned a beautiful defense of Senator Sessions on his Facebook page where he outlines the true character of the next Attorney General.
The point to all of this is simple: the Democrat attacks on Senator Sessions are unfair and not substantiated by evidence. The “proof is in the pudding” as they say, and Senator Sessions’ life is full of examples of his generous and kind character.

Pioneering Mexican legal tech start-up Laboralisto is building a case management platform for employment disputes that will eventually provide the data for case prediction capabilities.
Laboralisto is the brainchild of Daniel Gutiérrez, the managing partner of local Mexican law firm, GD Legal. The idea is that as clients make use of the platform they will provide valuable data about employment law litigation, which can then be leveraged to expand the platform’s capabilities for clients to include case prediction.
For example, employment cases will reveal data on success rates, pay-outs, tendencies to claim against certain companies, or employers in certain locations and, in effect, any other potential data or cross-reference that can be gleaned from the cases that pass through the system.
Gutiérrez told Artificial Lawyer that there was little locally produced data available for employment cases and it was therefore necessary to build their legal database from scratch.
‘Today there is no public data [in Mexico] that we trust. With the data we collect we will be able to tell lawyers how much a case will cost, or when they should settle,’ Gutiérrez said.
Employment law has been targeted in part, Gutiérrez said, because of the sheer volume of claims in Mexico. Despite what external observers, and perhaps some foreign companies with manufacturing planets in the NAFTA member country, may assume about local labour protection law, the reality Gutiérrez said is that Mexican workers have very strong legal rights. This has created 100,000s of claims each year, often for wrongful dismissal.
‘Around one in every 12 businesses in Mexico is involved in a labour dispute every year,’ he noted. ‘One reason is that after only thirty days you are classed as a permanent employee.’
Moreover, fines can be significant, at up to 300% of an employee’s annual salary. While such fines may still be relatively lower in total compared to those in the US or UK, it’s the sheer volume of claims that large industrial employers may face that makes this practice stream both rich in potential data and also likely to benefit from any predictive capability.
Gutiérrez adds that Laboralisto, which has just launched, operates in English and Spanish and at present seeks to help corporates, especially their HR teams. For now, clients upload the case to the system, they can then share information easily with all parties and their lawyers and monitor the case as it progresses. But, as noted, the greater benefits will come once case data has been collected.
Gutiérrez added that he started the company just over a year ago and although the project has been bootstrapped so far, he was now looking for investment.
He added that much of Latin America faced the same employment law issues as Mexico and that Laboralisto would be useful across the wider region.
Gutiérrez also explained that he had been very inspired by what he had seen in the California-based legal tech community, for example by litigation analysis and prediction applications such Lex Machina and RAVEL (both of which are now part of LexisNexis). He had also engaged with Codex at the Standford Law School, which provided further inspiration.
He added that in Mexico, and largely in Latin America, as far as he could see, there were few local legal tech companies, while adoption of US or other foreign legal tech applications, beyond billing systems, was minimal. Though, hopefully, tech adoption will change with the right applications.
One challenge he noted was that many legal tech systems came from Common Law countries and were primarily in English. In which case there would appear to be a market opportunity to build home-grown legal tech applications across a wide range of areas, from case management to more advanced prediction and machine learning systems. | <urn:uuid:ce8e75ea-46ae-4f21-90fb-d9ee369d637f> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.artificiallawyer.com/2017/11/13/mexicos-laboralisto-paves-way-to-labour-law-predictive-capability/ | 2019-07-23T15:38:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.975487 | 792 |

BARRY RITHOLTZ: 10 reasons forecasts are always wrong, wrong, wrong
'The data overwhelmingly show that as a species, we are simply awful at this'
I recently pointed out an errant recession forecast made a year ago by a person who has been more or less been predicting an economic slump since 2011. I was hoping to spark a discussion of why forecasts are so counterproductive, and why no one should make investments based on them. Instead, a discussion of passive bulls mocking active bears broke out. This was not what I intended. | <urn:uuid:b90439d9-d3d2-43b6-809c-ecb329221e2c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.businesslive.co.za/rdm/business/2017-11-03-barry-ritholtz-10-reasons-forecasts-are-always-wrong-wrong-wrong/ | 2019-07-23T15:59:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.981636 | 113 |

APE Server Transport Update
We have updated our APE server transport which resolves issues with Internet Explorer 9. The update also fixes miscellaneous issues that caused connection problems. When installing APE server, be sure to use the master copy.
If you have already purchased the APE server transport, simply create a support ticket to download this new version.
If this is the first time you are hearing about APE server transport, here are answers to some common questions:
What is APE Server transport? Why should I use it? Before we answer this question, you must try and understand how CometChat works. By default, CometChat uses a technology known as smart-polling i.e. CometChat will poll your server every 3-12 seconds to check for new messages.
By using APE Server, you can reduce this polling to once every 60 seconds (thus reducing load on your server) and leverage the APE server technology to check for new messages in near real-time (thus speeding up message delivery).
APE Server transport are configuration files which we offer if you wish to connect CometChat with an APE server.
Why APE Server and not BeaconPush, Pusher and CometService? The advantage of using APE server is that your solution is completely self-hosted and you do not rely on any third-party servers. The downside is that you will need to install and manage the APE server entirely on your own.
What is the cost of the transport? Where can I purchase? We charge a one-time fee of $199 for the configuration files. If you would like to purchase, click here.
This sounds too complicated. Do you have something easy to reduce server load and increase speed of delivery? Yes, we offer CometService for as low as $9/month. CometService can be activated directly from your CometChat Administration Panel.

Cornelious Williams, 36, was sentenced Oct. 4 to 10 years for unlawful possession of a stolen vehicle, 10 years for aggravated driving after revocation and 10 years for aggravated driving under the influence (DUI) to be served concurrently in the Illinois Department of Corrections. He was also sentenced to eight years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for aggravated driving after revocation.
The total sentence is 38 years. However, the 10-year sentences are to be served concurrently and the eight-year sentence is to be served consecutively.
At approximately 11:21 p.m., Sept. 8, 2011, an officer was on patrol driving west through the intersection of Broadway and Seventh Street and ran a random registration check on a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix. It returned as stolen out of Rockford. A traffic stop was conducted. The driver was identified as Williams. The vehicle had been reported stolen by the Kishwaukee Auto Corral.
Williams had the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath, slurred speech, bloodshot and glassy eyes, and had admitted to consuming vodka. Williams swayed as he stood. Williams submitted to a blood alcohol test with a result of .08. A check also revealed Williams’ driving privileges were revoked.
Unlawful possession of a stolen vehicle and aggravated driving after revocation are class 2 felonies and have a sentencing range of six to 30 years because of his prior record with three years mandatory supervised release.
Aggravated DUI is a class 4 felony and has a sentencing range of one to six years in the Illinois Department of Corrections and is also probation able. The sentences will be served concurrently on the class 2 felonies.
On all class 2 felonies, the defendant was eligible for class X sentencing because of his prior record. He was extended-term eligible on the class 4 felony.

This book is a standard reference manual designed for a broad interdisciplinary audience of anthropologists, biomedical engineers, clinical dysmorpholo-gists, forensic scientists, psychologists, artists and medical illustrators, radiologists, reconstructive surgeons, and anyone else interested in the measurement of the human head and face. Unlike other anthropometric manuals, which describe the human body in great detail but largely ignore the head and face, this book is devoted to the accurate presentation of the head and face. After a brief history of the development of craniofacial anthropometry, this manual presents a comprehensive picture of the ingredients necessary to carry out rigorous study of the head and face, from the essentials of setting up a craniofacial laboratory, including basic facilities and equipment, to the instruments needed, to highly detailed and illustrated descriptions of the landmarks and measurements, including synonyms and variants on techniques found in the earlier literature. New instruments are introduced which expand the tools available to researchers concerned with growth and morphology of the head and face. In addition to the descriptive chapters, the authors demonstrate methods for analyzing and interpreting the data collected through these techniques, including studies of normal populations, as well as analysis of clinical dysmorphology. The clinical application of anthropometry in the design of surgical reconstruction of congenital and traumatic anomalies of the head and face is presented through a series of increasingly complex case studies illustrating a variety of procedures. The book concludes with an examination of some of the newest computer imaging techniques and their potential for quantitative craniofacial analysis.

Moving Image Communications - March 2004 Newsletter
* Filmfinders Update
* New video clips page in Moving Image website
* We will be moving shortly...
The acquisition of the Filmfinders collection last year has added greater depth and diversity to our already varied footage library here at Moving Image. The transferring and cataloguing of a collection of over 650 films did, of course, present us with a real challenge but we are delighted to say this process is progressing rapidly. Today, 45% of the 650 films have been logged and all of these are available to search in our on-line database. Also, we are gradually incorporating video clips in the database so you can view samples of the films. Our team of researchers have made this process a priority and are continually discovering rarities among the collection. Moving Image strive to distinguish itself, and offer our clients footage they will enjoy watching. We believe this gives our clients an opportunity to "open new doors" and fundamentally spur on new creative ideas. From our efforts we believe the Filmfinders collection will give you a glimpse into a relatively unknown side of film history. Many of the films relate to the history of cinema, both on the screen and behind the camera. Many of these films explore the inner workings of the movie making business, offering the viewer an insight and an introduction to early cinematographic processes.
A behind the scenes film of Universal Pictures Animation Unit. "Cartoonland Mysteries" illustrates, using close ups and stills, the process involved in turning cartoon characters, and script into a full-length animated cartoon.
Gertie the Dinosaur
Inside the city museum two gentlemen stand beneath the skeleton of a dinosaur. Can Winsor McCay bring the dinosaur back to life? McCay intertwines the real world with an animated sequence in an attempt to win his bet. A real rarity and a classic illustration of early animated story telling.
Archive Cinema Shorts & Cinema History
A selection of black and white montage footage including clips from classic films illustrating early cinema presentations and behind the scenes Hollywood information films shedding light on the "making of the movies". Highlights the roles of the people behind the camera from the Cinematographer to the Soundman. An education in the history of cinema.
How Talkies Talk & Movies Learn to Talk
A British-made information film describing the techniques that help bring the studio set to life. Lights dim cue the conductor, female lead singer and a number of interesting dresses! Live action and cartoon explanation of how sound is put onto film and projected. See the pianist playing in accompaniment to the action on screen or even an orchestra playing in the movie theatre!
A compilation of silent films. Whether Romantic, newsreels, comic or slapstick they are both unusual and intriguing. Look out for Pearl White, Mary Pickford, Rudolph Valentino, Enrico Caruso, Douglas Fairbanks, Lillian Gish, John Barrymore, Gloria Swanson, Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chaplin and the Wright Brother's first flight! Filmfinders also includes a variety of early documentaries. Presented as information films, they illustrate to the viewers of the day the new cultural trends, insights into important news stories and social shifts. The very nature of these films gives us today a real taste of how people around the world during the early and mid 20th Century worked, lived and relaxed. Often nostalgic, these documentaries will develop into a wonderful source of evidence for researchers and social historians. Here are just a few.
Wee Wee Paris, the Paris of long ago
Paris at the turn of the 20th Century, a city of trams, horse drawn carriages, crowed streets and packed food and flower markets. Come see the circus, Ferris wheel, hot air balloons and the Moulin Rouge. A taste of Paris and the famous Franz Reichelt and his attempt to prove men can fly by jumping off the top of the Eiffel Tower in 1912!
Newsreel footage of Suffragettes protests. Excellent quality footage illustrated with Suffragettes marching carry banner saying "Fortune favours the brave", clashes with police and Emily Wilding Davison self sacrifice as she throws herself under the Kings race horse.
"Funny now but what will our Grandchildren say about us?" A beautiful compiled collection of Edwardian footage illustrating the new fashions of the day. Generously busted women in fantastic dresses and furs, swimsuit modelling and gentlemen wearing bowler hats boasting pocket watches. From the refined ballroom dancing to the lively kick and turns this really is a delight to watch.
An intimate look at the 1940s New York. With Poverty, sickness and a city becoming less fit for living, an age of rebuilding is approaching. Children play in dilapidated areas, Smoke blows from industrial factories and Men reap corn in the fields to earn a crust. The film industry has always had the urge to recreate the past with the added "movie magic" touch and this collection of early black and white reconstructions highlights this point superbly. These films give us an idea of the large-scale productions, by which, even the earliest filmmakers attempted to tell an historical story. One has to marvel at their ingenuity, using the special effects of the day and the "creative alterations" to historical detail that has become somewhat endemic in the story telling process within feature films.
After 6 days
A special effects laden Sunday school lesson. After Six Days recreates numerous religious stories with a surprising production value for such an old film. A somewhat tacky but spectacular telling of Old Testament, from Adam and Eve to Solomon by way of Cain and Abel. Witnessing Noah leading the animals into the ark two by two, the construction of the Tower of Babel or Mosses descending from the mountain top with the ten Commandments. The 1920s audience must have been impressed by its shear audacity and comical use of a "Censored" slide.
Quo Vadis & Ancient Rome
There's nowhere to run or hide in the magnificent Roman Amphitheatre. A terrifying 1920's reconstruction depicting Roman lions attacking Christians. See relatives desperately trying to stay together, the Emperor mocking his victims and the vast crowd cheer as a chariot speeds past or a lion mauls a Christian attempting to flee.
The Winding Trail
Four black and white short serials following the adventures of group of cowboys in the lawlessness and dangerous Wild West. Packed full of exciting runaway wagon cars, buffalo stampedes, and of course, a climatic skirmish with Indians.
The Charge of the Light Brigade
"Into the jaws of death, into the mouth of hell, rode the six hundred. The Charge of the Light Brigade." Black and white reconstruction of one of the most famous military follies in history. Moving Image has marvelled at the diversity of this collection. Filmfinders is by its very nature a fascinating archive - including slapstick comedy, historical recreations, information films and the curiously unusual!
The Trojan car
'Can you afford to walk?' The motorcar from the Monty Python school of car advertising! A hilarious short film showing the benefit of the cranky little car that can "negotiate any terrain" and bizarre sound effects to match. It has to be seen to be believed!
Early cinema advertisements with great 35mm colour footage. Includes animated bottles, boats, cigarettes, a live action rooftop 'Rainbow Dance' and even puppet animation for a motor lubricant advertisement. We will continue to update you on the progress of integrating this wonderful collection. Keep an eye on our website for newly added Filmfinders material or speak to one of our researchers for help with a search or for ideas.
New video clips page in Moving Image website
A new page has been set up to view video clips that are not available in the collections pages. As well as the Real Player films you can view MPEG videos of wondeful butterflies from the Wilmhurst collection and a variety of species from the Wild Islands collection, both used for the prestigious Arkive project.
We will be moving shortly...

The motto here at Griffin Christian is “Building Excellence from the Inside Out!” We feel that this is not only achieved inside the classroom, but also through athletics. The athletic program here at Griffin Christian is designed to help young men and women build a foundation of Godly character (Psalm 127:1). They also learn and develop athletic skill and ability that will continue with them for a lifetime.
Here at Griffin Christian we surround our athletes with Godly men and women that will minister to each athlete by teaching and mentoring each of them through the disciplines of sports.
Whether GC athletes play at the collegiate level or choose a different course we know that when they move on from Griffin Christian they not only leave prepared academically and athletically, but are prepared spiritually to represent Christ first in all things.

When you have food poisoning, the first thing you want is relief. Your symptoms depend on what caused you to get sick, but you usually have diarrhea, throwing up, and an upset stomach at the least. It’s no fun, but it’s how your body tries to kick out the toxins and get you better.
You usually get it from eating food or drinking water that is contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites, or toxins created from these. While some cases last longer, it’s usually gone within a few days.
There’s not a whole lot you can do except stay near a bathroom and ride it out. But you can take some steps to support yourself as you recover.
Common Causes of Food Poisoning
Your treatment partly depends on what gave you food poisoning and how sick you are. Some of the causes, from most to least common in the United States, are:
Norovirus. You can get this virus from raw fruits and vegetables. You can also get this from shellfish, such as lobster and clams, that come from tainted water. Food handlers who have norovirus can also spread it as they prepare meals for customers.
Salmonella. You can become infected with this bacteria by eating contaminated food such as beef, poultry eggs, vegetables or fruits, drinking contaminated water, or touching infecting animals and not washing your hands afterwards.
Clostridium perfringens. Usually a problem on foods left unrefrigerated for too long, this is common in meats, stews, and gravies.
Campylobacter. You get can this from raw or undercooked meat, especially chicken, as well as unpasteurized milk and tainted water.
Shigella. Often spread when someone uses tainted water to clean food, it can be found on seafood and raw, ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables.
E. coli. You often get this one from eating undercooked beef, especially ground beef, as well as drinking unpasteurized milk and cider. E. coli bacteria can also be contracted through contact with the feces of an infected person and by touching animals and failing to wash your hands afterwards.
Giardia intestinalis. This is a parasite found in stream water or food contaminated by stool.
Listeria . Less common than others on this list, you can get it from packaged foods such as hot dogs and lunch meats, soft cheeses such as brie, and raw fruits and vegetables. Pregnant women need to be extra careful about listeria since it can cause miscarriage.
How Is Food Poisoning Treated?
In most cases, there isn’t much your doctor can specifically do for you, and you get better on your own within a few days.
Adults or children who lose a lot of fluids -- this is called dehydration -- may need to go the hospital to get an IV. This will replace your fluids and electrolytes more quickly.
For severe food poisoning caused by certain bacteria, such as listeria, you may get antibiotics.
But with most bacteria, you may not get any medication unless you have a weak immune system or you’re pregnant.
You may also get medicine for food poisoning caused by parasites. For viruses, there’s nothing you can take.
What Can I Do at Home?
Diarrhea and vomiting can really throw off your body’s balance of fluids and electrolytes.
Electrolytes are minerals, such as sodium and potassium, that help with everything from keeping your heartbeat normal to controlling how much water is in your body.
So your main job is to drink plenty of fluids. Start with ice chips or small sips if you need to. It’s also helpful to:
Avoid food for the first few hours as your stomach settles down
Drink water, broth, or an electrolyte solution, which will replace the minerals that you lose with vomiting and diarrhea
Eat when you feel ready, but start with small amounts of bland, nonfatty foods such as toast, rice, and crackers
Get plenty of rest
Stay away from dairy, caffeine, alcohol, bubbly or fizzy drinks, or spicy and fatty foods -- they can just make everything worse
Let Nature Run Its Course
Tempting as it may be, you typically want to avoid over-the-counter medicine to stop your diarrhea.
That’s because the diarrhea is helping to get rid of whatever is making you sick.
If you think you need it, check with your doctor first. And don’t give it to children -- the side effects for them could be serious.
When Should I Call My Doctor?
Though food poisoning usually goes away on its own, call your doctor if you have any signs of dehydration:
Dry mouth or extreme thirst
Not peeing much (or at all) or dark, concentrated urine
Rapid heartbeat or low blood pressure
Weakness, dizziness, or a lightheaded feeling, especially when going from lying down or sitting to standing
Also call your doctor if you see any of these symptoms:
Blood in your vomit or poop
Diarrhea for more than 3 days
Extreme pain or cramps in your belly
Fever over 101.5 F
Throwing up that won’t stop -- you can’t even keep liquids down
Tingling in your arms
Weakness in your muscles
Food poisoning is more dangerous for some people than others. It’s best to call a doctor for:
Adults 60 and older
Babies and children

IoT, IIoT, and Industry 4.0 unifying architecture
By John D. H. Hose
The Linux Foundation EdgeX Foundry project is focused on creating a unifying open architecture for network edge devices to support the vision and goals of the Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and Industry 4.0. EdgeX Foundry is a vendor-neutral, open-source software framework platform built for the edge of the network. It interacts with the physical, everyday working world of enabling devices, sensors, actuators, and other IoT end points and components to connect securely and operate efficiently. The intent is to build a common framework for IIoT edge computing. The EdgeX Foundry community encourages a rapidly growing number of IoT solution providers to work together in an ecosystem of interoperable components to reduce uncertainty, accelerate time to market, and facilitate scale.
By bringing this much needed interoperability, EdgeX Foundry makes it easier to monitor real-world sensors and actuators, send instructions to them, collect data from them, and move the data across the fog up to the cloud, where it may be stored, aggregated, analyzed, and turned into information. With EdgeX, data travels toward the cloud and laterally to other gateways, or back to devices, sensors, and actuators.
The initiative is aligned around a common goal: simplifying and standardizing the foundation for tiered edge computing architectures in the industrial IoT market while still supporting the ecosystem to provide significant value-added differentiation.
Founding members include Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Alleantia, Analog Devices, Bayshore Networks, Beechwoods Software, Canonical, ClearBlade, CloudPlugs, Cloud of Things, Cumulocity, Davra Networks, Dell, Device Authority, Eigen Innovations, EpiSensor, FogHorn Systems, ForgeRock, Great Bay Software, IMS Evolve, IOTech, IoTium, KMC Controls, Kodaro, Linaro, MachineShop, Mobiliya, Mocana, Modius, NetFoundry, Neustar, Opto 22, relayr, RevTwo, RFMicron, Sight Machine, SoloInsight, Striim, Switch Automation, Two Bulls, V5 Systems, Vantiq, VMware, and ZingBox. Industry affiliate members include Cloud Foundry Foundation, EnOcean Alliance, Mainflux, Object Management Group, Project Haystack, and ULE Alliance.
"South side" and "north side"
EdgeX Foundry-based edge devices unify physical sensing and control devices with networks and systems.
South side: All IoT objects within the physical realm and the edge of the network that communicates directly with those devices, sensors, actuators, and other IoT objects-and collects the data from them-is known collectively as the "south side."
North side: The cloud (or enterprise system) where data is collected, stored, aggregated, analyzed, and turned into information and the part of the network that communicates with the cloud is referred to as the "north side" of the network.
The EdgeX architecture enables data to be sent "north," "south," or laterally in peer-to-peer architecture as required by applications.
EdgeX Foundry architectural tenets
EdgeX Foundry was conceived with the following tenets guiding the overall architecture:
- EdgeX Foundry must be platform agnostic with regard to:
- Operating system (e.g., Linux, Windows)
- Distribution: It must allow the distribution of functionality through microservices at the edge, on a gateway, in the fog, on the cloud, etc.
- Protocol and sensor
- EdgeX Foundry must be extremely flexible:
- Any part of the platform may be upgraded, replaced, or augmented by other microservices or software components.
- It must allow services to scale up and down based on device capability and use case.
- It should provide "reference implementation" services but encourages best-of-breed solutions.
- EdgeX Foundry must have store and forward capability (to support disconnected/remote edge systems).
- EdgeX Foundry must support and facilitate "intelligence" moving closer to the edge in order to address:
- Actuation latency concerns
- Bandwidth and storage concerns
- Remote operation concerns
- EdgeX Foundry must support brown and green device or sensor field deployments.
- EdgeX Foundry must be secure and easily managed.
EdgeX Foundry is a collection of open-source microservices. Microservices are a new, architecture style of building systems using simple, lightweight, and loosely coupled services that can be developed and released independently of each other. Developers describe the term "loosely coupled" as a way to build code without a tight dependency on other code by developing an application as a suite of small services, each running in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms. They may be written in different programming languages and use different data storage technologies.
These microservices are organized into four service layers and two underlying augmenting system services. The service layers traverse from the edge of the physical realm from the device services layer, to the edge of the information realm of the export services layer, with the core services layer at the center. The four service layers of EdgeX Foundry are:
- core services layer
- supporting services layer
- export services layer
- device services layer
The two underlying system services of EdgeX Foundry are:
- system management
Core services layer
The core services (CS) layer separates the north side and south side layers at the edge. Core services include the following components:
- Core data: a persistence repository and associated management service for data collected from the south side objects.
- Command: a service that facilitates and controls actuation requests from the north side to the south side.
- Metadata: a repository and associated management service of metadata about the objects that are connected to EdgeX Foundry. It has the capability to provision new devices and pair them with their owning device services.
- Registry and configuration: provides other EdgeX Foundry microservices with information about associated services within EdgeX Foundry and microservices configuration properties (i.e., a repository of initialization values).
Supporting services layer
The supporting services (SS) layer encompasses a wide range of microservices that provide the edge analytics and intelligence and provide service to EdgeX Foundry itself. Normal software application duties, such as logging, scheduling, and data clean up (scrubbing), are performed by microservices in the SS layer.
The rules engines and alerting and notification microservices are within the SS layer, because they operate on top of the core services layer. The local analytics capability (implemented today as a simple rules engine) is also located in this layer. At this time, the EdgeX Foundry supporting services layer includes the following microservices:
- architecture - supporting services - alerts and notifications
- architecture - supporting services - logging
- architecture - supporting services - scheduling
- architecture - supporting services - rules engine
Export services layer
EdgeX Foundry operates independently of other systems when necessary. Gateways often operate in isolated and sometimes disconnected environments and monitor and manage a collection of sensors and devices that have little or no outside monitoring or control. Therefore, EdgeX Foundry can operate and sustain itself over long periods without connection to the "north side" systems. The data and intelligence that is created at the edge should be collected often and transported to enterprise (cloud) systems. The transporting is done by the export services (ES) layer. The ES layer has a set of microservices that performs the following activities:
- enables off-gateway clients to register for data that interests them, coming from the south side objects
- informs where and when the data is to be delivered
- informs the format and shape in which that data is to be delivered
For example, the "where and when" could be sending temperature data to a REST address every hour, and the format and shape could be to supply JSON data in compressed form.
At this time, the export services layer includes the following microservices:
- architecture - export services - client registration
- architecture - export services - distribution
- export services - Google IoT core
Device services layer
The device services layer interacts with device services. Device services (DS) are the edge connectors interacting with the devices or IoT objects (the "things") that include, but are not limited to, alarm systems, heating and air conditioning systems in homes and office buildings, lights, machines in any industry, irrigation systems, drones, currently automated transit (i.e., some rail systems), currently automated factories, and appliances in homes. In the future, this may include driverless cars and trucks, traffic signals, fully automated fast food facilities, fully automated self-serve grocery stores, and devices taking medical readings from patients.
Device services may service one or a number of devices (i.e., sensor, actuator) at one time. A "device" that a DS manages could be something other than a single physical device. It could be another gateway (and all of that gateway's devices); a device manager; or a device aggregator that acts as a device, or collection of devices, to EdgeX Foundry.
The DS layer's microservices communicate with the devices, sensors, actuators, and other IoT objects through protocols native to each IoT object. The DS layer converts the data produced and communicated by the IoT object into a common EdgeX Foundry data structure, and sends that converted data into the core services layer, and to other microservices in other layers of EdgeX Foundry.
EdgeX Foundry provides a device service software developer kit (SDK) for generating the shell of a device service. It makes the creation of new device services easier and provides connector code to the core services layer. At this time, the EdgeX Foundry DS layer includes the following microservice: architecture - device services - virtual device.
Examples of device services
- A BACNet DS converts the BACNet device-supplied temperature and humidity readings into a common EdgeX Foundry object data structure.
- A DS receives and translates commands from other EdgeX Foundry services or enterprise systems and communicates those requests to the devices for actuation in a programming language that the device understands.
- A DS receives a request to turn off a Modbus PLC-controlled motor. The DS translates the generic EdgeX Foundry "shutoff" request into a Modbus serial command that the PLC-controlled motor understands for actuation.
Security elements both inside and outside of EdgeX Foundry protect the data and command of devices, sensors, and other IoT objects managed by EdgeX Foundry.
Core services layer and security services.
Core services layer and device system management.
System management facilities provide the installation, upgrade, start, stop, and monitoring of EdgeX Foundry microservices and BIOS firmware, operating system, and other gateway-related software. They can also support these functions from off-box, enterprise-based systems.
Ecosystems and flexibility
EdgeX Foundry enables the development of edge devices in an open architecture, multivendor, interoperable environment in the open-source technology community. This fosters an ecosystem of creative and innovative developers building the components for the realization of the IoT, IIoT, and Industry 4.0. | <urn:uuid:911fb13b-518a-468a-9e92-7ad29b649320> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.isa.org/intech/20180405/ | 2019-07-23T15:53:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.906458 | 2,373 |
I’m so privileged to work in so many fabulous collaborations, these are the projects I’ve been working on:
Silver Lace Collaboration -ongoing
I’m working with Brigitte Adolph to make her silver jewellery from my lace designs. Brigitte is a wonderful designer, a fully trained goldsmith who is fascinated by lace and textiles in her work. She describes her work as ‘only revealed through touch’, which is so right- when looking at her precious creations, one assumes it is a textile, such is the detail captured in the process.
I first met Brigitte in May 2011, during a trade show in Karlsruhe, Germany. Brigitte then visited Nottingham as part of a Creative Twinning exchange the following October. It was then that we decided to see if we could work together on some designs. The first pieces made by Brigitte were from my existing ‘Trefoil’ collection, two beautiful bracelets and some stud earrings, which we launched as the renamed ‘Nottingham heritage’ collection at Inhorgenta International Jewellery Fair in Munich. Unknown to me, Brigitte entered the large ‘Nottingham Heritage’ bracelet into the ‘Schmuck’ (German for ‘Jewellery’) magazine annual awards. We won first prize in the ‘Klassik’ category which was an absolute thrill.
I was lucky enough to gain access to the Nottingham Trent University Lace Archive which supplied us with inspiration for our second collection, ‘Madama Butterfly’ -based on Japanese style designs.We chose to work from design pages which had been donated to the archive by a Nottingham firm (sadly we don’t know which one). These drawings had actually been created by a company called Schultz based in Plauen- the centre for decorative lace in Germany. We were excited by the idea of the original designs coming from Germany to Nottingham, returned to Germany in lace and back again!
During my second visit to Karlsruhe in May 2012, we were able to spend some time discussing and sketching ideas together. Emails and photographs pinged back and forth during the summer and the hard work was rewarded when the jewellery arrived in Nottingham. This collection was shown in Nottingham Castle during the Lace:Here:Now season.
It can be quite tough working in collaboration with a designer in another country, but we are becoming more familiar with how each other work and what we require for our design process. We email A LOT when we are designing and send photographs of work in progress. We are constantly refining and improving the work and have become firm friends too!
PorceLace – ‘where porcelain meets lace’
I’ve been working in collaboration with Leicester-based ceramist Samantha Robinson since July 2014. In October 2015 we launched our first range of porcelain and lace designs under the name ‘PorceLace’. We worked on exhibition pieces for ‘Synchronise II’ at the National Centre for Craft and Design, taking design inspiration from Samantha’s collection of vintage keys. The exhibition featured five illuminated porcelain and lace cubes, the largest Samantha has ever made, and a lighting element that switched off as the onlooker approached, revealing the glow in the dark lace hidden inside.
The new PorceLace product range includes a ‘lacelet’ cuff, earrings and charm necklace, in a range of four beautiful colours. We have also created a range of hanging lace and porcelain ornaments. The PorceLace lacelet has a key motif and tiny embossed porcelain button closure. The earrings and pendant combine lace keys with delicate porcelain shapes.
The use of ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ space in designs began to fascinate us both, and we are pushing our materials to work in a way that is unexpected, creating 3-D work from material usually seen as a 2D covering and using light and shade to create pattern within porcelain.
PorceLace items can be found at the following galleries
- Wistow Gallery – Wistow Rural Centre, Kibworth Road, Wistow, Leicestershire LE8 0QF

In 2016 PorceLace was commissioned by Nottingham’s Creative Quarter to create a street installation for Light Night. It was shown outside St Mary’s Church in Nottingham’s historic Lace Market area. We made a two metre wide lace ‘doily’ lit with over 100 tea lights, each embossed with original lace designed especially for this work. We had a lot of fun lighting and relighting tealights in the windy conditions. Thank goodness for LED tealights!! Read more about this commission and light night here
We are delighted to have been commissioned once more for 2017, for the 10th Anniversary of Light Night. Things are moving on apace, so watch this space!
Design Factory Synchronise Exhibition – September 2012 to June 2013
Again I’m fortunate to have found another designer who shares my love of textiles. I worked with Clare Gage to create new art pieces fusing our chosen media, textiles and ceramics. We are both members of Design Factory and met at a show in 2011.
Design Factory encouraged makers to get together and collaborate on new work for an exhibition they are holding in 2013. Clare and I challenged ourselves to create work that is entirely decorative, rather than functional, which was a huge test for us as designer-makers. We had both visited the Lace Archive at Nottingham Trent University and took inspiration from some of the lace samples we saw there to create completely new work. We took a day trip to the Wedgwood Museum in Stoke on Trent to look at some of the beautiful ceramics there.
The final pieces were revealed with much fanfare in April on display at the National Centre for Craft and Design in Sleaford. | <urn:uuid:0121c1bf-1f0d-49c3-a91e-bf9816544a3b> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.jcmiddlebrook.co.uk/projects/ | 2019-07-23T15:37:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.962025 | 1,271 |
At least two group members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria Khurasan (ISIS-K) were killed in an airstrike which was conducted in eastern Nangarhar province.
The 201st Silab Corps of the Afghan Military in the East in a statement said the airstrike was carried out late on Friday afternoon in the vicinity of Khogyani district.
The anti-government armed militant groups including ISIS Khurasan sympathizers have not commented regarding the airstrike so far.
Nangarhar is among the relatively calm provinces in the East but the anti-government armed elements including Taliban and ISIS Khurasan militants are active in some of its remote districts.
Militants affiliated with both groups often attempt to carry out attacks against the government and security institutions in this province and other parts of the country. | <urn:uuid:275700b5-c719-4cc7-813e-d3020e572b1c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.khaama.com/two-isis-k-group-members-killed-in-nangarhar-airstrike-201st-silab-corps-03496/ | 2019-07-23T16:30:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.971033 | 165 |
May God bless you and your...
I thought a lot about you as my wife, Pat, was going through her battle with stage 4 breast cancer. She succumbed before you.
God bless you both!
PS Pat read your book during her battle and it meant a lot to her.

Marlowe’s defensive market qualities, strong channel to market, organic growth momentum and potential to accelerate growth through targeted M&A strongly position us to continue to create sustainable shareholder value.
Our strategy for growth is clearly defined: we will continue to build leading positions across our existing sectors through a combination of fast-paced organic and acquisition-led growth in our quest to become the UK’s trusted name in the provision of regulated safety services.
Robust markets with steady growth prospects
We operate in specialist, regulated markets and provide services that are non-discretionary and generally insulated from changes in trends or the economy.
Growth is underpinned by long-term drivers: population growth, insurance requirements, reputational risk, urbanisation, increasing expectations around safety standards, digitalisation driving the need for more complex building systems and the resulting requirement that they have for maintenance & certification along with ever-increasingly broad and stringent health, safety and environmental regulations and their enforcement burden.
Growth through value-enhancing M&A and integration
The combination of fast-paced acquisition activity and organic investment enables us to deliver impressive growth which outpaces our competitors and the market. We occupy fragmented markets and have a record of sourcing complementary bolt-on acquisitions which we effectively integrate resulting in increased efficiency, cost-savings, broader capabilities and a larger market share.
When acquired businesses join our Group we focus on driving revenue synergies that are available to us through effective intercompany collaboration within the Marlowe group
Long customer relationships, annuity-type recurring revenues with good future visibility
Our services are non-cyclical and each year we forward plan over 1,000,000 service visits to audit, test, inspect, maintain & certify tens of thousands of properties and millions of assets.
Many of our customers use our software as a service offering to manage compliance & risk in their organisations throughout the day, all year round. Our services are vital to our customers, require specialist knowledge and in many instances are so complex to effectively deliver that the costs and inconvenience of switching service providers can be undesirable leading to interdependence and high retention rates.
Our businesses, which have a core focus on regulated safety services, offer long-term growth and our knowledge of these markets ensures we channel our efforts into areas we are confident will provide sustainable returns on the capital we invest.
Operational & technology improvements
We are experts in delivering field-based regulated services and we look to continually improve the utilisation & productivity of our field-based specialists to add value to our customers and generate improved returns.
Technology is a key differentiator for us and plays a central role in our services: in how our services are planned and delivered, how our clients interact with us and how they manage their compliance and risk across their organisations. We invest in our people to ensure that they possess the correct training, tools and expertise to enhance our services.
We implement operational planning tools to improve response times and ensure that we effectively leverage our scale maximise utilisation and productivity. Service levels, organic growth and profitability, when balanced correctly, go hand in hand in our markets such that our most efficient means of profitable growth is achieved through refining and improving our service delivery model.
Growing barriers to entry
In each of our service sectors, we are one of only a small number of providers who can operate nationally with the requisite capabilities, scale and technology to effectively partner with our clients.
Our customers increasingly seek to consolidate their supplier base towards partners who, like them, possess the national capability to partner with them. They continue to demand better standards of service, partly in order to comply with higher regulatory standards, which our smaller competitors find difficult to deliver on any sort of scale; the scale economies and the technological barriers that we enjoy make our services more desirable to our customers and profitable to deliver, further strengthening our position. | <urn:uuid:3927aa95-e05e-4c65-9ffb-fbe2f8a8955e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.marloweplc.com/investors/investment-case/ | 2019-07-23T15:22:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.934761 | 787 |
Magic Leap, the secretive Plantation-based tech company that has raised more than $2 billion in venture capital to build sophisticated 3D software, has finally come to market.
Wednesday, the company announced The Magic Leap One Creator Edition is now available for purchase online. But the average computer user is unlikely to rush out and buy it. The Creator Edition is being marketed to “developers and creators” at a retail price of $2,295, and it’s available only in select cities. (Miami is one of them.)
The idea is for these front-line developers to create content and even virtual “worlds” that, in turn, can someday be accessed by consumers through a Magic Leap headset, which is expected in the future.
The current package comes with software and a headset that lets users add layers of computer-generated images and applications to the world around them. It also includes a web browser and a social platform to connect with other Magic Leap users.
The result: common programs like email and videos “float” in the real world in front of the user, reported CNBC, which got a preview.
“It’s hard to explain what it’s like using Magic Leap, a problem the company has admitted,” wrote CNBC’s Todd Haselton. “You aren’t tethered to another computer. You can walk around freely (though I felt a bit weird with it on my head since it’s like trying to walk around with swimming goggles on).”
CNET’s Scott Stein reported that while he wasn’t “blown away,” he still believes “it’s the best AR headset experience I’ve had to date”—including the developer version of Microsoft’s HoloLens, a competitor product, which costs $3,000.
“I can tell you this: the Magic Leap One isn’t vaporware,” meaning a mirage, he wrote. “It’s real, and it works. Whether it’s more than a developer prototype, and whether it amazes you, is another story.”
“...It wasn’t great at first,” Jessi Hempel reported. “The headset was beautiful, and unlike others I’ve tried, it felt light on my head. A disc-size battery and computing pack, built like a small CD, fit easily in my front pocket. A main menu popped up in front of me, the field of view large enough that it didn’t seem narrow.
“But as great as this was, there were glitches,” Hempel wrote. “When I tried to use the hand controller to navigate to a football demo, the controller didn’t respond; the experience appeared frozen.”
And Adi Robertson, senior reporter for tech site The Verge, said that while there may be a future for augmented reality, Magic Leap may not be it.
“...It doesn’t seem like a satisfying computing device or a radical step forward for mixed reality,” Robertson wrote. “Magic Leap’s vision is a compelling alternative to that of Silicon Valley’s tech giants. But there’s a baffling disconnect between its vast resources and parts of its actual product. I genuinely believe Magic Leap has given me a glimpse of the future of computing, but it might take a long time to reach that future, and I’m not sure Magic Leap will be the company that gets there first.”
If not, it will be something of a blow to Florida and its tech community. The state has pledged more than $8 million in subsidies to support the company. At last year’s eMerge America’s conference on Miami Beach, Abovitz said there were now approximately 800 Magic Leap employees in South Florida. The company’s website still lists dozens of openings in Plantation. With its numerous venture funding rounds totaling billions, the company, founded in 2011, became South Florida’s most buzzed-about startup of the decade.
“Florida has always been a blank canvas for innovation, and we hope to be one small part of that incredible story,” Abovitz said Wednesday in a statement. “Our launch of Magic Leap One Creator Edition begins the next chapter of our journey to empower creators in Florida, the U.S., and around the world. This is a joyful moment for all of our employees, and we look forward to working with a diverse and forward-thinking set of developers, artists, creators, and businesses right here in Florida and everywhere.”
The company has plenty of room to grow. Currently, Magic Leap occupies only about 25 percent of its 1-million-square-foot facility, a space previously occupied by Motorola. Bob Swindell, president of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, Broward County’s main economic development agency, said Magic Leap has exceeded his group’s milestones and continued to have its full support.
“We need to make sure to not take them for granted,” he said.
Philippe Houdard, the head of the Miami Downtown Development Authority’s Innovation Advisory Group and the co-founder of co-working space Pipeline, said Wednesday’s announcement shows Magic Leap is delivering on its promise to put South Florida on the global tech map.
“It validates what can be done here [in South Florida],” he said. “It’s no secret that some companies may harbor reservations about what the talent pool is like here; they may question whether they can attract quality people to contribute to their efforts. But this is a company that’s doing it.”
Magic Leap’s viability had been questioned by observers after the company experienced delays and lawsuits, including sexual harassment and trade secrets complaints — and a negative review by Beyonce, who reportedly found the version she tested boring after she got a sneak peak around the winter of 2016-2017.
In an interview with Wired published Wednesday, Abovitz said he regretted the hype that led up to the product rollout.
“I think we were arrogant,” he said.
But the company still has believers. Last month, AT&T took a stake in the company that valued Magic Leap at $6.3 billion.
The company also is collaborating with developer Weta Workshop to create a video game called Dr. Grordbort’s Invaders, “a hyper-realistic action game in which evil robots have chosen your living room to stage an invasion,” the company said in a release. The company declined to say whether it has had talks with any other video game developer.
Variety reported Wednesday that a Magic Leap Two headset, designed for consumers, is on the way, though Magic Leap founder Rony Abovitz declined to say when, or how much it would cost.
“We are going to be integrating Magic Leap Two in AT&T’s 5G cell network,” Abovitz told Variety. “It is going to [go] much wider. Magic Leap One is really about creators and spatial computing enthusiasts.” | <urn:uuid:bf9637e7-5fa1-4a2d-aa8a-01d8cb046c14> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/technology/article216292605.html | 2019-07-23T15:32:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.953352 | 1,517 |

A team of contractors have begun groundwork on the town's famous tribute to Francis Crick in order to take it away for a two-week deep clean.
The double helix 'Discovery' statue was installed in Abington Street in 2005 and was later moved to its current position near the Marks and Spencer store in 2014.
The two-part metalwork was designed in tribute to Weston Favell born scientist Sir Francis Crick, who discovered the double helix structure of DNA in 1953 alongside James Watson.
But Northampton Borough Council is set to remove the eight metre high sculpture for at least two weeks for a clean deep clean.
Contractors MMK Civil Engineers started groundwork on the statue today and are expected to lift the structure out of its current position on Saturday.
The memorial is then not expected to return until at least August 4.
Councillor Tim Hadland, cabinet member for regeneration, enterprise and planning, said: “Routine cleaning and maintenance is necessary on pieces of public art from time to time to keep them looking at their best. The sculpture will be removed on the 21 July and returned on the 4 August, with hoarding on site for the duration of these works to ensure public safety.” | <urn:uuid:e44e2ebe-1cde-4275-96e0-a54282744b60> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/news/workers-cordon-off-northampton-s-crick-statue-ready-for-removal-1-8571564 | 2019-07-23T16:43:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.969136 | 252 |
Denplan is a well known and popular way to access private dental care whilst lowering your dental bills. At our practice we are able to offer a few different essential denplan plans to suit our patients needs.
Denplan works on a direct debit monthly scheme, where a monthly fee is taken each month. The monthly fee will depend on what level of cover you have decided to go for. Our plans start from £13.50 a month.
Each plan will then entitle you to the essential recommended dental cover each year with other benefits as well. For example, the basic plan of £13.50 a month will cover you for your 2 routine dental checks and 2 hygiene scale and polishes each year, as well as any xrays as required. This plan will cost you a year £162, and if you paid on a per visit basis it would cost you £210 (2 check ups, 2 hygiene and 2 xrays) a year.
As well as covering you for your essential dental care there is also a further 15% discount towards any additional general work you may need, such as fillings.
It is recommended that you attend the dentist on a regular basis as it will help maintain your natural teeth for longer and any problems you may have will be picked up sooner than if you don’t go to the dentist on a regular basis. In terms of dentistry and dental care, the longer problems are left undiagnosed they can quickly become more serious and severe which leads to more treatment required and more money and time needed to be invested to rectify any problems.
If you would like to find out more information with regards to joining our practice as a denplan patient, please do not hesitate to call us today. | <urn:uuid:65178067-db98-4930-b30f-3754a6352568> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.onedentalclinic.co.uk/blog/2016/01/what-is-denplan/ | 2019-07-23T15:25:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.966831 | 352 |
SteelSeries just launched another mouse that uses a similar optical sensor as found in the company's Sensei 310, which currently resides in our list of the best wired gaming mice. Unlike the Sensei 310, however, the new Rival 110 is not an ambidextrous rodent—it only has thumb buttons on the left side, making it suitable for right-handed gamers.
The Rival 110 uses a custom TrueMove1 optical sensor built by PixArt. SteelSeries says it is the same as the TrueMove3 found in the Rival 310 and Sensei 310 with the same "true 1 to 1 tracking" ability, but features a lower maximum counts per inch (7,200 cpi) and inches per second (240 ips). Most serious gamers will find that acceptable, as many feel there are diminished returns when cranking up the sensitivity beyond a certain point.
"We continue to innovate in sensor tracking technology with the expansion of our TrueMove line of sensors with the TrueMove1 in the Rival 110," , SteelSeries Category Manager for Mice & Keyboards. "This is the first time that gamers can experience true 1 to 1, esports tracking with a smaller form-factor and at a very welcoming price."
That "welcoming price" is $40, compared to $60 for the Sensei 310 and Rival 310.
There are six buttons total on the Rival 110, including two left thumb buttons. It also features textured side grips, RGB illumination, onboard memory to save custom settings, and a lightweight design 87.5 grams) | <urn:uuid:61c5ff2a-8d8e-4aaf-8ba3-3077dd2ac0a3> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/steelseries-rival-110-gaming-mouse-promises-precise-control-at-a-low-price/ | 2019-07-23T16:09:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.912646 | 322 |
On Tuesday, September 27 at 5 p.m., the Planning and Sustainability Commission (PSC) will begin work sessions on the Central City 2035 Plan Proposed Draft. These meetings are designed to help the Commission work through a series of amendments to the Proposed Draft based on public testimony.
Community members can watch the work sessions on the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability’s YouTube channel.
In each work session, the PSC and project staff will focus on the details of the big topics in the CC2035 Plan. Building height, the river, transportation and new tools for historic preservation are just a few of the issues to be covered over the next few months.
Work Session Details
At the first work session on September 27, the Commissioners will spend most of their time on building height as it relates to historic resources, scenic views and more. They will also cover green building design and parking.
While the new plan generally retains the existing height pattern, staff have proposed amendments in some areas to either increase or reduce allowed heights. Based on research about building height in certain areas, staff have made amendments to the Proposed Draft for the Commission to consider.
At 123,000 jobs and 23,000 households, Portland’s Central City is the region’s economic and residential hub. Those numbers are expected to increase by 40 percent and 165 percent, respectively, over the next 20 years.
Tall buildings in the Central City are needed to support job and population growth. And by locating the tallest buildings along high-capacity transit lines and bridgeheads, we can accommodate growth more efficiently and improve livability. But the amendments related to building height further "sculpt" the skyline to adjust view corridors and preserve historic resources.
Green building and parking in the Central City
With so much new construction in the Central City, we can emphasize green building design for even lower carbon emissions. In addition to requirements for new development to be registered with LEED and other third-party certifiers, the Plan includes proposals for green roofs and bird-safe glazing (glass) in the building design to ensure sustainable development.
And with so many people living, working and recreating in the Central City, parking must be managed. The CC2035 Plan includes strategies to minimize congestion and proposes investments in bicycle, pedestrian and transit infrastructure for more carbon reductions.
Future Work Sessions
Additional work sessions will cover more Central City 2035 elements.
- Tuesday, September 27, 2016, 5 p.m.
- Wednesday, November 16, 2016, 4 p.m.
- Tuesday, January 24, 2017, 5 p.m.
- Tuesday, February 28, 2017, 5 p.m.
All work sessions will be held at 1900 SW 4th Ave, Suite 2500A. Please check the PSC calendar to confirm time and location prior to each work session.
During the November 16 work session, the PSC will discuss river-related topics, such as river setbacks and required vegetation, as well as proposals for new transportation projects and street designations.
Come the new year, Commissioners will continue their work sessions on January 24, starting with the bonus and transfer system and other remaining topics.
Stay tuned for similar stories on this blog about future work session topics prior to the PSC meetings. | <urn:uuid:01882042-4c3d-4a4e-8372-0218fb5462aa> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/article/591635 | 2019-07-23T15:33:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.942131 | 678 |
3 ways to diversify your property portfolio (eBOOK)
Diversifying your property portfolio is a great way to protect multiple assets, particularly if one isn’t performing as well as the others.
It also minimises risk and exposure to market and environmental fluctuations, such as population, migration, politics and economics.
Here’s our top 3 tips for diversifying your property portfolio.
Get out of your comfort zone
Don’t be too set on the areas you buy in. Suburbs evolve. Trends happen. You don’t have to stick to your favourite hotspots. While still doing your research and keeping an eye on suburbs with strong capital growth and an abundance of amenities, expand your search zone.
Besides, if you only stick with what you know or are comfortable with, you could be exposed to changes beyond your control, such as zoning laws or infrastructure developments. This could negatively affect your property, so don’t just stick to an area because it worked for you in the past.
Plus, if all your properties are in the same area, that experiences a negative change, your whole portfolio will take a hit.
Be flexible with your structure
If you can, it might be worth splitting your cash into two different investment properties. Buying two cheaper properties can be better than buying a more expensive one. Owning two assets gives you flexibility and security. If you need to, you can sell one and retain one. And, it helps reduce capital gains tax.
Mix it up a little
You should also consider different property types. This enables you to spread your risk across properties that appeal to different market segments – ie young families, couples, singles, etc. This is advantageous in terms of both rental return and re-sale value. It will also help when buying across different price points.

We have reached the 5th week of Big Brother 11, and things are starting to heat up. Jeff was revealed as being the coup d’ etat winner during Thursday’s live show. This means Jeff has the power to replace the HOH’s nominations during the next live show, right before voting. Plus I think I speak for most of the fans, when I say good riddance to Ronnie the rat being evicted.

Jeremy Piven visited the HGs during their havenots competition. His new movie was one of the prizes.
Chima is the new HOH and has nominated both Russell and Lydia.
Her plan is to get Russell out of the house with Lydia being the pawn.
Russell made plenty of apologies to Chima, but she ultimately put him up because she felt that she could not trust him.
Russell has been surprisingly calm about the nomination and believes he’s going home unless he wins the POV.
Most of the HGs suspect either Kevin or Jeff has the “Wizard powers.” Most of them are leaning towards Jeff.
Jeff has been doing a decent job at pretending he doesn’t have the powers. Judging by some of his actions, it seems his goal is to replace the nominees with Natalie and Jessie on Thursday, to get Jessie out.
Jessie has been freaking out the entire time because he suspects whomever has the powers will put him up on Thursday.
Russell, Lydia, Chima, Jeff, Natalie and Kevin will be playing in today’s POV.
My thoughts – This season has definitely been a “crazy” one. I mean literally crazy. A lot of these house-guests are very paranoid and borderline nuts. Michelle and Russell both seem very unstable, and tough to be in an alliance with. Chima and Lydia are borderline unstable.
The bad thing about this season is there aren’t really any strong alliances, with the excweption on some pairs of twos. A lot of the alliances attempted between the four mentioned above seems to end up blowing up into a major fight and drama.
I was rooting for a Jeff/Jordan/Michelle/Russell alliance but Michelle and Russell make that impossible with their crazy acts. Both Jeff and Jordan are seeing this. The other alliance involving Chima/Russell/Jessie/Natalie also seems to be unstable as they are now working on getting their own alliance member, Russell, out of the house.
At this point, I’m just rooting for Jeff and Jordan, but unfortunately for the two, they do not have too many options on finding a “normal” house member to enter an alliance with. With the exception of Jordan, Jeff, Jessie and Kevin, they are all NUTS!

In the internet age of the 21st century, absolutely everybody is fighting over exactly the same thing-good search engine optimisation or SEO. No matter how hard every business tries someone is going to be ranked first and someone is going to being ranked last.
You don’t want to be that last one.
This can be incredibly time consuming for the small to medium businesses such as e-commerce stores to achieve because the multi-nationals such as Amazon have a full-time IT and tech staff whose sole job it is to improve and maintain a top ranking. If you’re just the average business person or website you probably don’t have that experience or technical know-how required to achieve this.
How can you possibly compete with that?
Small businesses are left to their own devices to try to figure out and navigate a rather difficult process. Thankfully, there are platforms and software out there to help you do this.
Try to Google “SEO Software” and you will be presented with many many options.. I came up with over 1,500,000 results.
Out of all of these possible selections, only a handful are considered to be industry leaders and for many different reasons. How does the average business owner even begin to filter out all of the possibilities?
Thankfully, I already did that and am going to offer my review of one of the better options for SEO Software and why you should use it.
Before I get into all of that, however, let’s back up cover some of the basics of SEO and why it is important to your business and what achieving good SEO is going to mean to you. After all, all of the reviews in the world are not going to do you any good at all unless you fully understand why this software is there, in the first place.
What is Search Engine Optimisation anyway?
Fair enough question.
Search engine optimisation or SEO as we’ll call it from here on out is simply the process of ranking or placing a website or web page in the best possible position on Google, Bing or any other search engine’s results whenever someone enters that related keyphrases.
If you’re a landscaper in Yorkshire, for example, whenever someone enters the keywords “landscaping Yorkshire” into their search engine you’d ideally want your site ranking for what people are searching for.
The landscaper who has spent the time investing in sustainable SEO, whether that be via an SEO service or DIY SEO with the help of such tools as SEO Powersuite, they will appear more frequently and more likely will appear higher in search than a landscaper than hasn’t.
Good SEO practices will yield good results, aiming to appear as one of the top 10 or better is most businesses objectives, research shows that most people entering a keyword in a search don’t even bother to explore the options beyond the first page, and those percentages get worse the lower down you go.
The importance of good SEO
SEO in a nutshell- it drives potential customers to your website which leads to increased sales.
This is the whole objective of any business and in this competitive market I don’t need to tell you the importance of having the edge.
The bottom line is the better your SEO and over all marketing plan is, the greater success your own business will experience.
What determines SEO
SEO is determined by the algorithms the various search engines use in order to determine ranking, with algorithms having over 200+ ranking factors its a tough ask for even the experts to know everything, but the best experts will understand what matters, for novices however its best to stick the tried and tested “safe areas” with the help of a decent SEO software ( SEO Powersuite ) or Tool ( SEM Rush, Moz, ahref for example ). The problem is that while many are very good at running their business most people really haven’t a clue when it comes to search engine marketing.
SEO is determined by a number of factors, we’ve compiled a small selection of core focuses a business should take.
- Keyword usage
- Site structure
- Site speed ( perceived and physical )
- Time spent on site
- Number of inbound links
- Quality of inbound links
- Mobile Compatibility.
You’re probably looking at those thinking to yourself; “Huh?” Don’t feel bad because most business people don’t fully understand what any of this means or how to achieve it.
This is why SEO is big business and there are over 1,500,000 different results for SEO platforms and software companies to choice from, as well as some reputable SEO Companies ( like us ) that can do it all for you should the DIY route be too much to take on.
The Best SEO Software (our opinion)
I’ve been in business many years and I’ve been where you are right now. It took me years to learn the ins and out of SEO and to this day I never stop learning.
I wish I had come across SEO Powersuite much sooner than I did, even though I’ve been using it since around 2009 it would have saved me alot of work/time in the early days ( its also improved dramatically over the last 3 years ) because it is a powerful, full-function software with every feature I hold in high regard, its perfect for experienced marketers, business owners and people looking to improve SEO. In my view, SEO Powersuite takes all of the guesswork out of the fundamentals of SEO which frees you up to do what you do best-concentrate on your business.
The beauty is that it doesn’t only concentrate on keyword driven SEO, but also doesn’t try to also be a glorified bookkeeping program, a sales spread sheet or any of the other ridiculous features I found in other so-called SEO software.
This is a software that knows what its business and knows what it takes to improve your SEO. It’s as simple as that.
Cloud Apps versus SEO Powersuite
Let’s get the cloud app issue off the table right off the bat here so we can move on to the features I really like. Yes, cloud apps are hot right now there are advantages but I for one like to keep data locally in hand, without the need to go online to get basic reporting and tracking data.
Sure, I’ve used cloud apps like just about everyone else and we still use them as an addition to SEO powersuite but most small businesses and people getting on the SEO ladder won’t need to commit to the potentially huge monthly fee’s involved with cloud based platforms.
In many cases the monthly fee’s changed with cloud platforms are justified, they give some cracking features, but reality is unless your earning a living from SEO services you would probably be over spending long term for pretty much the same features SEO Powersuite offers. Many platforms are $75 a month upwards and more often than not one platform will not cover all the features you need on a regular basis.
This is all money out your pocket.
Sure, out of fairness, you’re using these apps every day it may very well be worth the expense, but that really isn’t the case for small and medium companies. Most often they’re going to be used occasionally or during an update of the site and that’s about it.
There is none of that with SEO Powersuite.
You’re not saddled with a monthly subscription and the only additional cost is the occasional maintenance updates that will be required. They’re inexpensive and a standard part of every software package because after all, you want this software to be up to date and running as efficiently as possible.
Easiest and most efficient SEO software available.
You’re a business person and not an IT whiz or interweb geek, Powersuite caters for every day business folk, keeping it simple in a format that’s easy to understand and navigate.
This is a software designed with the layperson in mind and covers every aspect of SEO improvement that a business person may not even consider.
Getting up and running is really easy for anyone.
- Create a new project
- Add your keywords
- Check keywords
The SEO software is just that uncomplicated.
Almost everyone knows the importance of proper keyword selection and this is perhaps the strongest aspects of the software.
Correct selection of keywords can make or break a business in the rankings.
One of the common problems with small businesses is their choice of keyphrases. Everyone thinks they know their business but often the keywords we think someone is going to use in their search are not really the ones the potential customer really searches for.
The Keyword research feature takes the guesswork, time and stress out generating the right keywords for your website. It doesn’t matter what the industry is or what the business you’re operating, the software is able to perform complete keyword research.
Keyword Research can be the difference between a good campaign or a great one.
- Validate keywords
- Analyse ranking
- Determine keyword strength
- Able to provide data from multiple search engines
- Offer suggestions
That’s an awful lot to offer by itself…but there is more. It doesn’t end there.
The software can pull out relevant and high ranking keywords from Google, SEMrush, Autocomplete, Yandex search, Yahoo and all related searches. Time management is critical, taking into consideration the time saved with using any of these tools you’ll soon understand why we use it.
It’s capable of screening keyword efficiency index or KEI score for every keyword you enter into the search. I know that this all sounds pretty complicated but it only translates to whether your selected keyword is strong or weak.
Monitor your rank progress with Rank Tracker
Search engines like Google have certain algorithms they utilize in order to determine how a website ranks for certain phrases, and how to display those to an effectively in a search.

SEO Powersuite multi-level pricing
Here’s the really nice part about SEO Powersuite. It offers multi-level pricing and what does this mean for you?
Whether you’re a micro-business that isn’t going to need or use every feature it has to offer, there is a package to suit you, whether that be the full standard package or individual applications.

The nice part is that you can upgrade at any time which means you can allow Powersuite to grow as your business also grows. Overall, it’s a win-win situation, in my view.
SEO Powersuite does everything but mow the lawn.
I’ve used SEO Powersuite for years, on top of most other cloud based solutions but SEO powersuite is one that has remained consistent in my tool box. It offers so much more than the other SEO software and others than do offer similar I find to be clunky and not as ease to use.
Who could ask for more out of any software for such a small investment?
We’ve given SEO Powersuite a 4.6 rating out of 5. We believe it is the best non-cloud based platform available for small businesses.

Khodorkovsky gets 13.5 years' prison
The court has pronounced them guilty of organizing a criminal group in the oil business, embezzling 218 million tonnes of oil from Yukos’ subsidiary companies and money laundering.
No more charges can be brought against them over this case.
The new sentence is concurrent with the original one, meaning that the time already served would be deducted from the new term. In 2004, in the first case against him, Mikhail Khodorkovsky was sentenced to eight years in prison. The term comes to end in 2011.
A lawyer for Khodorkovsky, Yury Shmidt, has called the sentence “unlawful and not based on proof.” He said the judgment will be appealed.
The reading of the verdict started at about 11am Moscow time (8am GMT) on December 27 at the capital's Khamovnichesky Court. After pronouncing the men guilty of misappropriation of assets, Judge Viktor Danilkin said that the men have also been found guilty of registering off-shore companies “to facilitate criminal business activities.”
As for Yukos' oil extraction subsidiaries, Uganskneftegaz, Tomskneft and Samaraneftegaz, the judge said they were initially put in “economically unfavorable conditions”, in which they had no opportunity to run their own business activities.
The court also established that Khodorkovsky and Lebedev only returned part of the profits to these companies.
Money-laundering from oil misappropriation was carried out through “complicated contracts abroad and on the domestic market”.
“Taking out oil from Samaraneftegaz, Tomskneft and Uganskneftegaz, selling it on cut prices, concealing information necessary for the financial statements breach not only Russian law, but also international standards,” the verdict reads.
In an attempt to hide the misappropriation, the court found Khodorkovsky, Lebedev and other members of the criminal group had made fake purchase and sales deals through front companies.
Platon Lebedev has been found guilty of organizing financial transactions in the affair.
According to the verdict, Yukos had double-entry bookkeeping and to conceal this fact, the company’s reports were only published in English on the official Yukos website.
Khodorkovsky’s lawyer Vadim Kluvgant said that the court’s conclusion is not logical, as the very fact of the publication speaks for itself and has nothing to do with an attempt to conceal the information.
The judge said that Khodorkovsky and Lebedev had a thought-out plan for all these crimes and they acted in accordance with it. The court has considered dozens of minutes from general meetings of Yukos subsidiaries, which confirm this charge.
The defendants have also been found guilty of actively bribing shareholders and top mangers of Yukos-affiliated companies, who were out of their control and could hamper their plans. The money for the bribes was taken from the accounts of foreign front companies, the verdict says.
Despite the fact that Khodorkovsky and Lebedev pleaded not guilty, the court has found their evidence “contradictory” and taken it “critically”, the judge said.
According to the court findings, the defendants cheated the auditing company PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), providing false financial statements to them. During the process, Khodorkovsky’s and Lebedev’s defense repeatedly pointed out that PwC concluded that Yukos’ financial statements were transparent and trustworthy.
The court has established that Khodorkovsky and Lebedev committed all the crimes “for the purpose of personal enrichment.”
“The court considers the proof provided by the prosecution grounded and makes them the basis of the verdict,” Judge Viktor Danilkin announced on Thursday.
However, the evidence given by former Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov and former head of the Central Bank, Viktor Gerashchenko, was dubbed by the court as baseless. At the hearings, Kasyanov said that it was not possible to steal the amount of oil incriminated to Khodorkovsky and Lebedev. As for Gerashchenko, he called accusations of oil misappropriation “nonsense”. He also said that auditors revoked their reports under pressure from the prosecution.
During the process former Minister for Economic Development Herman Gref also testified in court. He said Gref he did not have any information about the stealing of oil. This evidence was also rejected by the judge as unsubstantiated.
As for the testimony by Khodorkovsky himself in his defense, the court concluded that it, on the contary, proves his guilt.
Journalists covering the reading have filed a complaint with the Federal Service of Court Ushers saying that they have faced obstacles reporting the news. In an open letter to the head of the service, the group of journalists said that ushers in the Khamovnichesky Court have imposed rules on them that are not stipulated in a single document regulating journalistic work in court.
Journalists have regularly faced rude treatment and had to listen to “unflattering judgments concerning actual persons,” the letter says.
Television reporters have also had problems while talking live to camera.
Inside and outside the court
There has been no live broadcast in a special room for journalists. It is only possible to listen to the verdict in the courtroom, which does not have enough seats for all those wanting to witness the event.
“The fact that the broadcast was stopped at the beginning of the reading is a very meaningful symptom for justice,” Karina Moskalenko told journalists.
“Even if hearings are held behind closed doors, the reading of the verdict should be public. Otherwise, this places the judge beyond public control,” she added.
Also, on the first day after a 15-minute break in the middle of the reading, even those journalists that were in the court room at the beginning were not allowed in again.
Overall, about 30 representatives of the print media and a limited number of Russian and foreign television channels are allowed in the court room.
On Monday Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s wife Inna was removed from the court room. Interfax has reported that ushers demanded she leave as she was talking during the reading of the verdict.
On the same day police detained at least 12 activists who rallied outside Khamovnichesky court for refusal to wrap up banners they brought with them.
Officers reportedly resorted to using force to detain the protesters. The activists were shouting “down with the police state”.
“Not guilty” – Khodorkovsky
On December 15, the reading of the verdict in the second criminal case against Khodorkovsky and Lebedev was postponed until the end of month. Both businessmen are serving their first eight-year prison term after they were found guilty in 2005 of fraud and tax evasion.
Khodorkovsky, the former Yukos company head, was Russia’s richest man before he was arrested in 2003. Prosecutors demanded 14 years in prison for him and his business partner Lebedev in the second criminal case. During the second trial that has lasted 19 months, prosecutors accused Khodorkovsky and Lebedev of embezzling 218 million tons of oil from Yukos’ subsidiary companies.
Khodorkovsky said his actions were legal. He claimed that the prosecution had not managed to prove their position. The businessmen have always insisted on their innocence. Last month Khodorkovsky said before the court, “My principles are worth my life.”
Prosecutors said the charges against both defendants “have been substantiated.” They also claim they had asked for “a lesser punishment for the defendants” in accordance with new amendments regarding economic crimes. | <urn:uuid:5494848d-4e7e-408d-949f-b28cab877723> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.rt.com/russia/khodorkovsky-verdict-second-trial/ | 2019-07-23T16:13:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.978733 | 1,667 |

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Junior Tim Guers of the Saint Anselm College men's basketball team was announced by the National Association of Basketball Coaches as a Division II All-America selection on Monday.
Selected and voted on by member coaches of the NABC, Guers joined 15 other student-athletes on the All-America roster, representing the finest men's basketball players across NCAA Division II. Guers becomes only the fifth student-athlete in team history to earn NABC All-America distinction.
The NABC All-District teams recognize the best men's collegiate basketball student-athletes in the division. Selected and voted on by member coaches of the NABC in NCAA Division II, Guers and 87 other student-athletes represent the finest basketball players across America.
Last week, Guers was named All-Region by both the Conference Commissioner's Association and the NABC. By collecting NABC All-District recognition, he became his team's first two-time NABC All-Region selection since the program's all-time leading scorer, Matt Cahill '06, accomplished the feat in 2003-04 and 2005-06.
Guers was also selected as the Northeast-10 Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year on Feb. 26, becoming the seventh Player of the Year honoree from Saint Anselm in conference history.
A stellar third-year campaign for Guers propelled him into the program's top-10 list for all-time career point scorers. He posted 666 points in 2017-18, giving him 1,649 across a career that has spanned 91 games to date.
