He's an A-list celebrity that calls Rotorua home, and Jase and Bernie were lucky enough to catch up with him while they were in his home town.
The Hollywood star explained that he's back in Rotorua for a little while because a job that he was booked in to work on ended up falling over.
"I'm very lucky at the moment, I had a job that was all settled to go for a couple of months, and then it fell over!"
"So what happens there, do you still get paid?" Jase asked.
"In this instance not, but yeah there is such a thing where you do get paid - but it's a bit tricky, you've got to read the fine print," Cliff replied.
As well as talking about the local eateries, Bernie asked Cliff about the big names that he has been working with lately, and when those movies are going to release.
"I just wrapped on a movie with Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham called 'Hobbs and Shaw', that comes out in August and is a spin-off of the Fast and Furious franchise," Cliff said.
"And then just before that I did a movie called Dr. Sleep, and then of course, The Meg which did really well last year," he added.
Cliff finished off by saying that the big one that's on its way is Avatar, but he has to be careful as to what he says about it.
We can't wait to see some more Cliff Curtis on our screens! | <urn:uuid:ebed9120-f6e9-4957-82cc-7ea12dc14ca9> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.thecoast.net.nz/shows/breakfast-with-jason-reeves-bernadine-oliver-kerby/cliff-curtis-reveals-why-hes-been-working-with-dwayne-the-rock-johnson/ | 2019-07-16T08:26:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524517.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716075153-20190716101153-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.993629 | 317 |
The Benefits of Professional Treatment for Addiction
According to a report from the U.S. surgeon general, while one in seven faces addiction of some type, only 10 percent of those people receive treatment. The result of untreated addiction is often death, and according to the same report, every 19 minutes an American dies from an opioid or heroin overdose. There are almost 21 million Americans who have a substance addiction, which is more than the number of people who have all cancers combined.
Rather than becoming one of the most dire statistics, it’s important for people grappling with drug or alcohol addiction to recognize that treatment is available, and that treatment can be highly effective.
When a person receives professional addiction treatment, the benefits can be immense. The advantages of participating in a professional rehab include:
- Addiction is a complex chronic disorder, and professional treatment can address it as such.
- For the vast majority of people with an addiction, it’s much more than the uncontrollable use of drugs or alcohol. There are complex genetic, mental and behavioral factors involved and professional treatment can help treat all of these issues.
- Professional addiction treatment can be holistic, so that the person participating can go on to live a thriving, productive life.
- The risk of relapse is lower when people receive professional treatment.
Choosing the right addiction treatment program is an integral part of recovery as well. A big part of choosing the right program is based on knowing the options and being empowered with information.

Learn more About Substance Abuse Recovery
At The Freedom Center, we specialize in intensive outpatient recovery programs. An intensive outpatient program is one that provides in-depth treatment and if necessary, dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring psychiatric disorders.
At the same time, it’s a program that’s affordable and flexible. Someone participating in an intensive outpatient program can continue going to their job, to school, or meeting any family commitments they may have.
For some people beginning an intensive outpatient program at The Freedom Center is a transitional step, usually following inpatient rehab. For others, participation in one of our innovative, evidence-based programs is a starting point.
Our treatment programs are:
- Holistic so that every part of a person’s needs are addressed
- Accredited by the Joint Commission
- Highly individualized
- Designed to include both individual and group therapy each week
- Held in the afternoon and evenings
Addiction Treatment—Levels of Care
For many people who struggle with an addiction to drugs or alcohol, treatment occurs along what’s described as a continuum of care. This means there’s not one specific program a person completes and they’re done.
Instead, they might have different levels of care, and they will progress into lower levels as they meet certain milestones in the treatment and recovery process. While The Freedom Center offers outpatient services, we partner with many facilities offering all levels of care.
Supervised Medical Detox
Supervised medical detox is the first step in a continuum of care for a lot of people who are not only addicted but also physically dependent on substances. During a medical detox, a team of medical professionals provides supervision, care and support to patients as substances leave their system.
Medical detox can be life-saving, particularly if a person is dependent on certain substances like alcohol or benzodiazepines. These are substances that can have a deadly withdrawal process if a person doesn’t participate in a medical detox.
During a residential rehab program, also called inpatient treatment, patients live in the treatment facility for a period of time. Residential rehab can be shorter-term, which may last for around 30 days. It can also be longer-term. Some residential rehab programs might last for 90 days or more.
Residential rehab doesn’t provide flexibility, and it’s a very scheduled program. Participants are expected to be in therapy and treatment sessions throughout most of the day. Inpatient rehab might include individual therapy one-on-one with a counselor, as well as group therapy sessions, and supplemental activities.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
An intensive outpatient program is what we offer at The Freedom Center. During an intensive outpatient program, participants can keep going to school or work, and they can often choose sessions that will work around their schedule. An intensive treatment program may start with a more significant time commitment in the beginning, and then the intensity may be gradually lowered.
An intensive outpatient program will also include both individual and group therapy, and holistic, integrative treatment.
12-Step Programs Near New Carrollton, MD
As well as rehab and professional addiction treatment, 12-step programs are also an important part of recovery for many people. Often rehab programs, including programs at The Freedom Center, integrate elements of the 12 steps. Once someone completes rehab, they can continue to remain strong in their recovery by participating in a local 12-step program in New Carrollton such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
Substance Addictions We Treat
At The Freedom Center, we help people with a variety of substance addictions. Some of the most common substances people seek treatment for include:
- Prescription opioids
There are other substance addictions treatable, and we can also work with patients who are addicted to multiple substances at the same time.
How Can You Pay for Drug and Alcohol Rehab?
One question we frequently hear is how can people pay for rehab. The cost of inpatient rehab can be thousands of dollars a day in some cases. Outpatient rehab such as what we offer at The Freedom Center can be significantly less expensive, but people do still have questions about it.
Most health insurance plans will cover some or all of the costs of addiction treatment. We encourage people to check with their insurance provider and see if this is an option for them, or we can help them with insurance verification.
Without health insurance, there are options as well. For example, there are financing and payment plans available, as well as scholarships and different aid programs.
While addiction treatment can come with significant costs, the costs of not receiving treatment are often much higher.

LINDSEY VONN has wowed on the beach at Puerto Vallarta in Mexico after the ski legend took part in a photo shoot for Sports Illustrated's 2019 Swimsuit Edition.
It will be the third time the American has appeared in the annual Swimsuit issue having featured in both the 2010 and 2016 versions.
The 34-year-old looked stunning in a white bikini as she continues to revel in her retirement.
Vonn braved a stripey red and white bikini in the snowy Canadian mountains in the 2010 issue, before she ditched clothing six years later.
In 2016, she posed in nothing but body paint as she laid in the sand on the beach at Petit St Vincent in the Grenadine Islands.
UFC star Paige VanZant will also take part in the 2019 edition, becoming just the second female MMA fighter to feature after Ronda Rousey.
Vonn completed her last race at the Alpine World Ski Championships in Sweden last month where she won a bronze medal in the downhill event.
Tiger Woods' former partner retired as the most successful female skier of all time - where she recorded a staggering 82 World Cup victories in her career.
While she also claimed the Olympic gold medal in 2010 in the downhill event, as well as winning two World Championships.
Speaking of her last race, Vonn said: "It's been an amazing ride and I couldn’t be more thankful."

While she also added: "To win a medal in my final race was so much more than I could have hoped for.
"I knew it was time, this season was going to be my last season.

The former SAS hero had good reason to look sheepish as he addressed royal correspondents in the state rooms at St James’s Palace last week.
Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, now private secretary to Prince William and his wife, Kate, was admitting he had got it wrong when setting up the couple’s new household.
Lowther-Pinkerton, 50, had assumed that the royal couple would require a flunky for every occasion and had advertised for a dresser who would also act as a housekeeper — only to be told that such staff were neither needed nor wanted. The advertisement has been withdrawn.
“I made a boob,” he said bluntly, explaining that he was used to looking after two young officers (Princes William and Harry). “I’ve never worked for a lady… | <urn:uuid:33ffdf8a-add4-4b50-a21a-04d4871646f0> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/who-needs-a-pillow-fluffer-36vfxt70mj3 | 2019-07-16T08:58:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524517.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716075153-20190716101153-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.99238 | 172 |
The Department of Defense spent over half a billion dollars funding fake news reports and terrorist propaganda videos in Iraq during the American-led war, according to a new report.
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism broke the story Sunday that “between 2006 and 2008, more than 40 companies were being paid for services such as TV and radio placement, video production, billboards, advertising and opinion polls” in Iraq.
One company, in particular, dominated this realm of the military-industrial complex.
British PR firm Bell Pottinger was awarded $540 million in contracts for “information operations and psychological operations” between May 2007 and December 2011, totaling over $100 million per year. A similar contract from 2006 reportedly totaled $120 million, the Bureau reported.
One former employee, Martin Wells, spoke to the Bureau about his time working in Iraq for Bell Pottinger and, by extension, the U.S. military. The secretive facility was located at Camp Victory, a military base located near Baghdad.
“It was a very secure building,” he recalled, with “signs outside saying ‘Do not come in, it’s a classified area, if you’re not cleared, you can’t come in.’”
Bell Pottinger employed over 300 British and Iraqi workers for its propaganda campaigns, which were overseen by the Pentagon, the CIA, and the National Security Council until 2011, at which point the company ceased operations in the country.
Until then, “the firm’s output was signed off by former General David Petraeus – then commander of the coalition forces in Iraq – and on occasion by the White House,” according to Wells.
Though Bell Pottinger was initially hired in March 2004 to promote the upcoming elections in Iraq, the firm eventually shifted to less “high-profile” assignments.
Under the project, Bell Pottinger came to produce three types of content. According to a former contractor who spoke with the Bureau:
“White is attributed, it says who produced it on the label. Grey is unattributed and black is falsely attributed. These types of black ops, used for tracking who is watching a certain thing, were a pretty standard part of the industry toolkit.”
White operations were relatively straight forward, comprised of commercials painting al-Qaeda in a negative light. Grey and black operations, on the other hand, highlight some of the most deceptive practices employed in the American government’s information wars.
Grey operations, according to Wells, were made to look as if they had been “created by Arabic TV.”
“Bell Pottinger would send teams out to film low-definition video of al Qaeda bombings and then edit it like a piece of news footage. It would be voiced in Arabic and distributed to TV stations across the region,” the Bureau explained, noting “[the] American origins of the news items were sometimes kept hidden.”
Black ops, unsurprisingly, were the most nefarious. According to Wells, Bell Pottinger created fake al-Qaeda propaganda videos. He recalled the instructions he received to produce them:
“‘We need to make this style of video and we’ve got to use al Qaeda’s footage…We need it to be 10 minutes long, and it needs to be in this file format, and we need to encode it in this manner.’”
The videos were put into CD format, and Marines would distribute them while they were conducting raids on Iraqi homes, Wells claimed.
“If they’re raiding a house and they’re going to make a mess of it looking for stuff anyway, they’d just drop an odd CD there.”
The intent of the CDs was to track individuals who watched them. According to Wells, “the team embedded a code into the CDs which linked to a Google Analytics account, giving a list of IP addresses where the CDs had been played.”
“If one is looked at in the middle of Baghdad…you know there’s a hit there. If one, 48 hours or a week later shows up in another part of the world, then that’s the more interesting one, and that’s what they’re looking for more, because that gives you a trail.”
Wells said the CDs turned up in Iran, Syria, and even the United States, highlighting the difficulty of controlling manipulative psychological media campaigns. Indeed, the Bureau reports, “it is understood the key people who worked in that unit deny any involvement with tracking software.”
The covert activities of Bell Pottinger and the United States government are morally dubious, but the reason the military opted to use private contractors is even more representative of the duplicitous practices employed in the “War on Terror.”
According to Glen Segell, a former information operations task force employee who worked in Iraq in 2006, “contractors were used partly because the military didn’t have the in-house expertise, and partly because they were operating in a legal ‘grey area.’”
Segell previously wrote that, as the Bureau paraphrased, “U.S. law prevented the government from using propaganda on the domestic population of the US. In a globalised media environment, the Iraq operations could theoretically have been seen back home, therefore ‘it was prudent legally for the military not to undertake all the…activities.’”
Americans saw the military’s own propaganda, regardless, as the CDs soldiers distributed were tracked back to the United States. Further demonstrating the fruitlessness of the military’s reasoning, the law in question appears to have been repealed since this program ceased.
Regardless, Bell Pottinger reportedly shut down activities in Iraq following the removal of ground troops in 2011. Lord Bell, who stepped down as chairman of Bell Pottinger earlier this year, believes they were on the right side of history.
“We did a lot to help resolve the situation,” he reportedly told the Sunday Times. “Not enough. We did not stop the mess which emerged, but it was part of the American propaganda machinery.”
A 2015 study by the Rand Corporation, a military think tank, found “generating assessments of efforts to inform, influence, and persuade has proven to be challenging across the government and DoD.”
Wells, for his part, leans more toward the Rand Corporation’s assessment than he does Lord Bell’s. Though he joined the operation believing it was worthwhile to raise awareness about al-Qaeda’s ruthless violence, his views have shifted over the years.
“Somewhere in my conscience,” he said, “I wondered whether this was the right thing to do.”
Perhaps the most telling revelation of this story is that years after the military hired Bell Pottinger, the United States is backing groups with ties Al-Qaeda — the very terror group the secret propaganda campaign was intended to defeat. | <urn:uuid:556de321-6a08-4abf-83b7-4962060d4f6d> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.truthinsideofyou.org/the-pentagon-spent-half-a-billion-dollars-creating-fake-news-propaganda-for-al-qaeda/ | 2019-07-16T08:33:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524517.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716075153-20190716101153-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.974295 | 1,476 |
How many days have you spent in your cubicle only to realize at the end of the day that not much has been achieved? You are unable to meet your targets even though you are constantly working 9 straight hours. It is important for you to understand that along with the policy of hard work, smart work is also necessary to do efficient work.
Here’s a list of 5 ways that can help you to boost productivity at your work:
The power hour is the first half of your office timings. Try to get as much done as possible in the first half. After the lunch hours, people usually get lethargic to do work. It is necessary that you avoid gossip, shopping websites and other distractions in the first half. This will give you a great sense of accomplishment.
Organise your inbox
Organising your inbox is a practice which is time efficient. If you receive a lot of emails on regular basis then you can keep them organized by using different filter options. Make a habit of reading all your emails by the end of the day. Keeping your inbox zero is necessary because having a ton of unread mails in your inbox would take a lot of time for you to find the right one during emergency. You can create different labels and colour code your emails to have quick access to them.
Yes, you have been working straight 9 to 6 without taking any break yet you fail to complete your task. That’s exactly what you are doing wrong. Not taking break is not a positive sign; continuous work can hinder your work progress because you are mentally exhausted without even realizing it. Even if you are physically present to do the work but emotionally you might not be able to concentrate fully. Take enough breaks – go for a walk, have a cup of coffee, chat with your colleague to give yourself a break from work.
Listen to music
Music is one of the best and entertaining ways to maximize your productivity. According to a survey commissioned by U.K, 77% of surveyed businesses agree that playing music in the workplace improves atmosphere and boosts staff morale. Playing music in background can drown out noise. It has also been proven that classical music enhances your IQ. If there is a lot of noise around you then you can put on your headphones and get back to work. Music gives you a positive energy to get your work done.
Decorate your desk
Decorating your desk with colourful items can help you to stay active during work. A dull cubicle can help you hamper your work performance. Decorating your desk with the pictures of your loved ones can help ease stress and reduce negative thinking.

Some of you may remember the little sparrow I found on my driveway a couple of weeks ago. If not, you can read the full story here.
The other day, when I took Tigro the tomcat in for vaccines, the vet was happy to tell me that Tino (as my younger son named the little bird) was alive and kicking. At the time it had seemed that he was partially paralysed because he couldn't seem to move his right leg (do birds have legs? Stick-figure legs...). Apparently, however, it was all psychological! When he was left on his own in a cage at the vet's office he got up and hopped around to take care of his "business." But, when people came around, he played dead.
I thought that was pretty odd, personally, but the vet swore it was true. She said little birds like Tino are literally petrified with fear when people touch them. They can even die of a heart attack from fear. Well, I'm glad our attempts to save him from death by cat didn't cause him to die of fear!
Some volunteers from the WWF came by the vet's office to get him and took him to a bird shelter where he is living happily ever after amidst his similars. In a cage (which I hate)...but she promised me that it's a *really big* cage that he and the other birds can fly around in.
Anyway, his fate would have been sealed if I had left him on the driveway that day. Tigro is turning out to be quite the hunter and, besides finding lots of dissected lizard bits scattered about on the patio, on two separate occasions we've found dead sparrows with Tigro using them for batting practice.
This one's for you, Tino! | <urn:uuid:906377d8-6c48-4a7a-91a8-286b44d1c529> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://amid-the-olive-trees.blogspot.com/2008/10/fly-like-eagle.html | 2019-07-17T13:14:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.991561 | 369 |

There is no ‘pecking order’ in local government, although there is a clear difference in scale. Haverhill Town Council, unlike their colleagues in West Suffolk and Suffolk Councils, is focused solely on the needs and aspirations of Haverhill.

- A programme of events throughout the year including the Haverhill Street Festival, Armed Forces Day, Historical Vehicle Rally, The Big Day Out, Community Fun Days, Tribute Nights, Halloween Trail, Family Christmas Night and Fireworks, plus other free to enter events throughout the year.
- Through the Haverhill Community Trust the council supports other activities including:

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of vision loss. Sometimes called the silent thief of sight, glaucoma can damage your vision so gradually you don’t notice any loss of vision until the disease is at an advanced stage. Glaucoma can be detected through eye exams in the Bronx by Dr. Alan Vilinsky. During this painless procedure, your optometrist will measure your intraocular pressure, inspect the drainage angle of your eye, evaluate any optic nerve damage, and test the vision of each eye. The best way to maintain your eye health and preserve your vision is to have regular and complete eye examinations with the appropriate level of diagnostic testing for glaucoma.
There are two main types of glaucoma: Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Angle-Closure Glaucoma. Though both are caused by increased pressure in the eye, the two yield different symptoms and levels of severity. Primary open-angle glaucoma is the most common type of glaucoma and causes peripheral vision loss. In an eye unaffected by glaucoma, fluid continually flows through the eye and exits through tissue known as the trabecular meshwork. With chronic glaucoma, this meshwork becomes blocked and fluid is unable to flow out of the eye. This excess fluid causes intraocular pressure to increase and presses against the optical nerve. While chronic glaucoma gradually builds up, angle-closure or narrow-angle glaucoma occurs suddenly and presents painful symptoms, such as headaches, nausea, eye pain, and increased sensitivity to light.
If you are diagnosed with glaucoma during your eye exams in the Bronx at Eye Express in the Bronx, we’ll attempt to control the disease with medications to regulate the amount of fluid produced by the eye. If medications cannot adequately treat your glaucoma, Dr. Vilinsky may suggest surgery to increase drainage flow. To learn more about glaucoma treatment options, come speak to our eye doctors at Eye Express! | <urn:uuid:e0ac67bd-dc54-447f-8475-7d35aee21b6e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://info.bronx-optical.com/eye-exams-in-the-bronx/ | 2019-07-17T12:20:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.934568 | 419 |

While on my freelance contract, I was asked to develop a logo for the Appreciative Inquiry School Meals summit. This summit is owned by National Dairy Council and Urban School Food Alliance by working together to convene a national “whole-system-in-the-room” design summit to scale-up excellence in School Meals. Below explains my logo concept and development for this summit and future uses.
After a brief kick-off meeting about the summit and request, I started thinking how to tie school meals, student growth and celebration together. Exploring different text nesting and fonts, I also explored handwritten text and illustrative graphics to give a child-focused direction.
Getting some feedback from my direct manager who is a senior designer and art director, we discussed what ideas were working well and I went back to focus on more development. On the left are a few options I showed at an internal review explaining the illustrated celebration of school meals portrayed through the milk bottle and figure jumping. On the right are the two chosen after internal review and for external clients to choose.
The external client chose one of the two logos and provided feedback to incorporate an apple to show a more robust school meal. At this time I also had pushed to incorporate color as it gave the design more depth and a better communication of student focus. On the left is a further development of the chosen logo direction with incorporating color. On the right is the second round of presentation for the external client with two options and an alternate secondary mark.
After the second round, I received additional revisions before finally getting approved. The final logo incorporates a hand illustrated design protraying a celebration of school meals intended for the growth of students' futures. The stick figure graphic is the main focus and representative of a student's success through better school meals. This figure can be seen as a child jumping in the air, but also as a student sitting at a cafeteria table. | <urn:uuid:facbb818-41ec-421d-8ce6-5b304a177f8a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://litteriodigital.com/nourish.html | 2019-07-17T12:19:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.96696 | 391 |
Opening this old mini is like opening a pirate’s chest and finding that it contains instructions for a scavenger hunt.
The first note (titled, “Nose”) directs you to the writing desk of Mark Twain in his Connecticut home. There you find candle wax dripped on the bias atop a Twinkie (no, it hasn’t decomposed at all). But since Twinkies didn’t exist in Twain’s time, someone else must have been–or must be–in on keeping this scavenger hunt viable. So curious. But then you flip over the note and find that it points you to something ridiculously round and full: a Vietnamese pot belly pig that had overindulgent owners feed it nothing but cherries and tobacco leaves and kale. You follow the directions, but not finding the pig, you re-read the directions and see that it actually says fig. Can you overindulge a fig? This quest is already yielding enigmas that may stay with you as long as its ultimate prize.
The second note (titled, “Mouth”) leads you to a feast on the private beach of a swanky resort, the bounty and quality of which leave you momentarily dumbstruck. The hostess welcomes you in, and she’s so beautiful and so charming you tolerate her bumptiousness. Richness surrounds you, and you dine on roast pork with roasted plums, raisins, and voluptuous, soft, red wine. And of course you overeat.
Finally, the last note (guess the title) brings you full circle to the treasure chest, to lift the crushed red velvet false bottom out of it. A drying but spicy sweet waft emanates from the hidden chamber and recalls the wealth of flavors that came before. Your instincts tell you to look for the word “univocal” at the bottom of the chest, but it’s not there. You dig further and instead, there you find a soft roll of paper crafted from cherry blossoms. You slowly unfurl it, and written in a fading stain of plum wine are the words “perfectly rounded.”
On the scale of cool scavenger hunt stories–

I slept poorly again last night. At 11:00 I got up and took two Aleve but they didn't help much. I was awake about every hour on the hour trying to get comfortable. My arm and shoulder ached constantly and the Aleve just barely took the edge off of it.
I looked up the antibiotic on the internet that I took in June for the urinary track infection (or whatever it was) and one of it's side effects is ligament and tendon damage. That's the time all this started. It also broke me out in a rash that itched at the time. I went back to the Urgent Care and she told me to stop taking it. That's two of those antibiotics that cause me ligament and tendon damage. It took me months to exercise out the damage the last time I took an antibiotic in 2013 when I had the erysipelas on my face.
Bob and I are going to go see "Sully" this afternoon in Independence. It's on there too and they have just redecorated the theater. That should make it closer since Independence is only about 20 minutes away and Bartlesville is almost an hour. We will take in the 4:30 movie.I asked Karan to go too. I will pick Bob up first and then we will go get Karan at 3:45.
Missy and I went outside about 7:00 after we had our breakfasts and stayed out until 7:45. She really enjoyed that. It had rained really hard last night about the time I went to bed.
We really enjoyed the movie and the Independence theater has completely redecorated and even has leather reclining seats. Cool! I enjoyed it just as much the second time and both Bob and Karan did too. We got out about 6:30 and even got home long before dark. I understand the first weekend it was released this movie made 45.5 million. It nearest competitor made 12 million.
Bob didn't come over this evening. he had missed his nap for the movie and was tired.
I was exhausted again and went to bed at 8:00. | <urn:uuid:ba440d16-1a46-4571-8804-0ed0b3c08bdf> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://margie-miller.blogspot.com/2016/09/thursday-and-movie.html | 2019-07-17T12:52:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.992338 | 441 |

Northeast Kingdom Facts (from WikiPedia): The Mountain Maid paddlewheeler operated from 1850 to 1870. The Lady of the Lake steam excursion/ferry paddlewheeler started operating in 1867. It stopped operations in 1917. It was based in Newport. The Anthemis steamer was built in 1909 to carry 300 people. It stopped operating after 1945. Some claim Lake Memphremagog contains a reptile-like monster named Memphre (or Memphré), which has received sightings since the 18th century and continues on in the folklore of the area in a similar vein as the Loch Ness Monster. It is claimed that Memphre has been spotted as recently as 2000.

King Slayer - Book Review
YA Medieval Fantasy
The Witch Hunter series Book #2
UK Publisher: Orchard
Former witch hunter Elizabeth Grey is hiding within the magically protected village of Harrow, evading the prince put on her head by Lord Blackwell, the usurper King of Anglia. Their last encounter left Blackwell ruined, but his christ for power grows stronger everyday. He’s readying for a war against those who would resist his rule—namely Elizabeth and the witches, wizards, pirates and healers she now calls her friends.
Having lost her Stigma, a magical source of protection and healing, Elizabeth’s strength is tested both physically and emotionally. War always means sacrifice, and as the lines between good and evil blur one more, Elizabeth must decide just how far she will go to save those she loves.
The is the second and final book of Virginia Boecker’s Witch Hunter series. I found it to be a nice, simple sort of read that I think anyone in search of a bit of light-hearted fantasy will enjoy. With plenty of sword fights, a few enchanted creatures, some undead warriors and lots of magic — it has all the base elements of a good story.
Now a wanted fugitive with a price on her head, Elizabeth finds herself sheltering with the very people who were once her enemies. Witches. And although her presence raises animosity from the villagers, both Elizabeth and the magical community have a common goal. To eliminate Blackwell, the usurper King.
But Blackwell has grown stronger since their last encounter, and now he has an army of the undead at his disposal. He will do anything to see Elizabeth put in her grave and the witch rebellion subdued. Now time is running out for Elizabeth, and with her own magical protection— the Stigma— gone, Elizabeth must quickly learn how to survive without it. Otherwise she, and everyone she has come to care about, will die...
Plot wise, I found this book moved at a fast pace with lots of action and magical mayhem. However it was less character orientated than the last book, with many of the secondary characters only getting a few short scenes each. This of course left little room for the characters to develop. I felt with a bit more meat, this series could easily have spanned into three books.
Although saying that, this story was very much focused on the heroine, Elizabeth. She suffers through many physical and emotional changes, but at the heart remains the feisty heroine we came to love in the first book. While I found her a little angsty at times, she quickly snaps out of it and dives right back into the action.
A few new characters were also introduced - all who added a little something more to the story. I was especially happy that we got to meet Malcolm, the former king, who inadvertently set Elizabeth on this path of ill-fated events. I found it interesting too that as much as I wanted to hate him for what he’d done to Elizabeth, I couldn’t. There was such an air of childish innocence about him that I couldn't help but pity him.
John however… I must confess I didn't really like him much in the first book. And I liked him even less in this one. Despite the plot that surrounded his character, I felt his mood swings were too conveniently blamed on magic. He seemed to go back and forth without any real trigger. Again, I think this would have worked better if there had been three books allowing the good John/ bad John story arch to be stretched out.
Overall though I liked this book, and look forward to reading the upcoming Novella’s that centre around the secondary characters.
A nice read for a rainy afternoon, all in all I give KING SLAYER 3 stars! | <urn:uuid:a576452b-9a4e-4b00-85dc-a4d4288b2961> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://whisperingwords747.blogspot.com/2016/07/king-slayer-book-review.html | 2019-07-17T13:43:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.98125 | 780 |
Advice to Buyers
Buying a home is one of the most important purchases you will make. A Buyer's Agent, role is to find and negotiate the best deal possible for the buyer. (The listing agent's role is to serve the interest of the seller.)
Tips On Finding and purchasing your perfect home:
Get The Right Professional On Board
Often friends and family refer a professional who honestly tries very hard in doing a good job but don't deliver the proper goods. Click here and read key points when interviewing an agent for your next purchase.
Determine your wants and needsThis is the single most important step. By asking a series of in-depth questions, I establish what you are looking for in a home. These questions go beyond the commonly asked ones, such as, "How much do you want to spend?" and "What neighbourhood do you want to live in?"
Pre-qualifyThis shows you how much you can afford. Purchasers often realize they can afford more than they imagined. A quality Buyer Agent will connect you to quality financial professionals who minimize the time spent on this important process. To give you an idea of how much income you need to qualify for a specific mortgage from a lender Click here . Speak to a Professional lender to have it packaged properly.
Know your costsThere are always additional or hidden costs in purchasing a home. Your Buyer Agent should be able to estimate these costs ahead of time, so you're not faced with unpleasant financial surprises at closing. Click here to get an idea of your monthly costs.
Match dreams with realityYour Buyer Agent should be able to perform a detailed analysis of properties available to locate those that match your desires.
Offer to purchaseWhen the right home is found a skillful agent will prepare an offer to purchase which will best suit your needs.
Negotiate the best price for your new home
It's rare that the buyer is willing to offer exactly what the seller wants. It takes skillful negotiation to close a deal at the best price for the buyer.
The offer is not simply about price. Negotiating the extras you want into the sale, that were not part of the listing, is important. However, if poorly handled, this can break a deal. This can involve negotiating such things as repairs to be paid for or completed before closing, at the seller
"When representing my buyer clients I am committed to providing the highest quality service not only during the purchase of your home, but long after you've settled into it." | <urn:uuid:3edbdce8-a18f-428d-b3e0-266d44807189> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.alllistings.ca/buyers/advice-to-buyers/ | 2019-07-17T13:36:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.959141 | 517 |
The ideal temperature of the shower water would be tempered, between 25 and 30 degrees, and an approximate duration of 5 minutes. If it is a bath, the temperature will vary according to the purpose to be sought. Water at hot temperature (29-37 degrees) is perfect for relaxing and relieving contractures, but it is not advisable to stay longer than 15 minutes, since otherwise the skin will become dehydrated. Shower with warm water keeps the skin more hydrated, smooth and with closed pores. A bath with warm water relaxes refreshes and activates circulation. The baths with fresh water (18-24 degrees) reactivate, but they have to be short to avoid the numbness. In both cases the excessively hot water (more than 38 degrees), dry the dermis and can break the skin. Shower with cold water is a good option to close the pores. It activates and improves blood flow, improves irrigation throughout the body, which can benefit wound healing, better oxygenation and nutrition of our cells. It also reduces inflammation, increases metabolism, activates the defense mechanisms, tightens the skin, etc. The benefits of a shower with warm water are multiple. Skin appearance improves as the pores are closed resulting in smooth and moisturized look. Any kind of allergies and itching can be cured by taking a warm water bath. Warm water helps to keep the varicose veins out by improving the circulation. Also it stimulates metabolism and burns calories making the person more active. Warm water also helps in keeping the hair oil free and shiny. | <urn:uuid:cc6e0e97-3a1a-4241-887e-93fe78032f86> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.bathandwellness.com/the-ideal-temperature-of-the-shower-water | 2019-07-17T13:11:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.945629 | 312 |

PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC
If you have never considered going to Prague in your life, buy a plane ticket, pack your bags and go RIGHT NOW! The only way I can fully describe how Prague looked was Medieval Times meets Disney World. So gothic yet perfect and clean. The main streets of the old town look like there plucked right out of a storybook. I remember walking through the streets being like “is this place for real?” I got the idea to start looking into Prague when I heard a friend say she went there. I have this obsession to sit and bed and research countries for fun, so when I saw photos of how magical this place was, I needed to find a way to get here any way I could. I had 2 free days in my itinerary before my cruise so I was going to squeeze as much of Prague into that time as I possibly could.
We took an over night train from Budapest to Prague. It left around 8pm and we got in the next morning at the ungodly hour of 630am. What does one do when they arrive hours earlier then they can check into their hotel? Well of course they go to McDonalds where there is free Wi-Fi and an endless supply of coffee available. I found it interesting that every country I’ve been to, both the McDonalds and Starbucks carry different food, catering to each countries tradition. (I loved the food especially in Paris- call me crazy but they can make a damn good frappe) We took some time, collected ourselves and tried to forget the madness that was that overnight train. When we finally got our bearings, we started towards our hotel with the hopes they would let us check in early.
We got to our hotel, which was in Praha 2-the different areas of Prague (Praha) are zoned. We stayed at Hotel Trevi, which was nice and modern, had a cute balcony but no AC and it was actually like 40 degrees Celsius and we were dying already. We got cleaned up from our night on the train and headed out to explore. We got to the main area and crossed the famous Charles Bridge, which has been filmed in many movies. We toured Hradcany (The district surrounding the Prague castle) did a tour of the castle and the preserved houses beside it (Golden Lane) showing what it was like to live there hundreds of years back. If you have minimal time in Prague, I would definitely suggest seeing this, I felt like I was in a time warp. Then we toured St. Vitus Cathedral which was unreal, I felt mini standing beside it. After we were jam-packed with culture (me, not being one to museum-hop) we decided to take a break from learning to take in the shopping and food, two of my favorite things. One thing you will see a lot of when shopping here is crystal. You can get cheaper crystal or very expensive crystal. I ended up with 10 pairs of earrings, which I generously gave to my family and friends. (And I may have kept a few for myself) It’s a nice gift to bring back for people, without breaking the bank.
We took a walk back through the lesser town, which also seems to be out of a storybook. I’ve never been anywhere more adorable. We took some photos in front of the large Lesser town Bridge Tower and hung out on the bridge for a while listening to street performers and watching painters creating portraits for tourists.
Even though I don’t use public transportation at home (I’m more of a car kind of gal) the subway system here was unreal. You feel like your going miles underground via escalator and when you get down to where the subways run, it is so modern and clean, you forget where you are. The pattern along the walls reminds me of the Nespresso Coffee displays in stores. When it was eating time we had dinner in the old town at LaScala Pizzeria. I got this massive Pork Knuckle, which isn’t really feminine of me, but it reminded of something I would eat at medieval times, and I found it very fitting. The food and ambiance was great. After dinner we were pretty wiped, considering we were negative sleep from the night before. We stayed up and wandered the lit up streets as long as we could, to avoid feeling like grandparents then hit the hay at the early hour of 10pm.
Day 2 arrives and it is another day of site seeing, we started back at the old town and Charles Bridge because I couldn’t get enough of it the day before. I found a “Paul” here, which was one of my go-to places for breakfast and coffee in Europe so far. (The coffee sizes were up to my caffeine- addicted standards) In the distance we saw this large red structure swinging back and forth. On the map it said it was a point of interest, so we engaged in a long hike up this hill, to realize it wasn’t overly interesting, but the views of the city from up here were incredible, and made it worth the trek.
We headed back for lunch on a patio in The Old town, with views of the Astronomical clock, which is mounted on the old city hall. People crowd around this clock to see it spring to life every hour. Here we indulged in some adult beverages and people-watched.
After our well-deserved break we decided to hit the shops. There are lots of shops through out this area, both high end stores and chain stores. This is where I got to treat myself to a beautiful designer hand- bag. We then strapped on some huge winter jackets and marched our way into the Prague Ice bar. It was a unique experience. Everything was made of ice, including the glasses we drank out of, chairs and DJ table. Thank god there was a 20 minute time limit because I felt like I was in Canada at winter time and it was bringing back some unwelcome memories.
I decided that this was the day of treating myself, because my feet were DYING from the cobblestones. I saw signs for Thai Massages all over and I couldn’t help myself-It was the best money I spent the entire trip. LESSON: Do not wear thin-soled shoes or sandals through the streets of Prague because they will become sand paper and you may cry from the pain. Another note: Don’t wear heels unless you feel like tripping and embarrassing yourself. Wedges are your best friends.
After our pampering, we ended up back at LaScala for dinner again this evening because we enjoyed the meal so much the night before. I guarded my new bag with my life, since it cost more money then my monthly rent did. It was another early night since we had a 6am flight out to Venice the next morning and needed to find a way to get all my new purchases into my bag. I must have taken 400 photos within my 2 days here, everything looked out of a post card. I wouldn’t suggest coming here for less then two days however, because I could have spent a week here. Overall, one of the most underrated placed I’ve ever visit; you need to look into coming here at some point in life. | <urn:uuid:5f9e8d55-7d23-4ada-8f24-fc91a8c61f9d> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.littlepinkpassport.com/prague | 2019-07-17T13:06:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.97791 | 1,517 |

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
This year, ballet dancers around the world will not have the same extraordinary opportunities their forebears have had in the past three decades as New York International Ballet Competition (NYIBC) announces the cancellation of its 11th competition, slated on the organization’s 30th Anniversary this June 1-23, 2013 at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall, Time Warner Center, New York City.
NYIBC is first and foremost a world-class training and educational opportunity focused on the art of the pas de deux and the contemporary duet. Moreover, NYIBC is a meaningful multi-cultural exchange for international dancers to showcase their talent. Many of the nearly 500 alumni of the classes of 1984, 1987, 1990, 1993, 1996, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009, consider the three-week immersion an unforgettable experience that made a lasting impression on their careers as professional dancers. Through an intensive learning and coaching environment, many NYIBC alumni regard each other as extended family members.
Harald Uwe Kern, originally from Austria, credits NYIBC as being instrumental to networking and bridging the gap between opportunities available to him in Europe and those in America. Following his participation in 1987 Kern said, “It was a privilege to work with such wonderful legends of the ballet world, and I will never forget the camaraderie between all those fantastic dancers!”
From inception, NYIBC has offered full scholarships, amounting to approximately $10,000 per participating couple. Once in New York, the class of 48 dancers receives coaching, mentoring, housing, food, medical attention when necessary, exposure to cultural activities and other amenities.
During the past few years NYIBC’s private donor base has shrunk, creating sizable decreases in individual contributions. Ilona Copen, NYIBC’s founder, long-time leader and face of the organization, passed in early 2010 after a long battle with cancer. Since, NYIBC has made ongoing restructuring efforts, but the philanthropic climate from the time of the most recent competition in 2009, has proven to be a serious challenge.
Despite record high submissions from 18 countries generated by the call for applications in the Fall of 2012, critical shortfalls in fundraising, setbacks in public funding, downturns in global giving1, and the upheaval surrounding Ms. Copen’s passing, the Board of Directors regretfully cancels NYIBC 2013.
Marcia De La Garza, Executive Director, remarks “It is my sincerest wish that Ilona Copen and Igor Youskevitch’s dream of advancing ballet as an art form, providing young dancers with unparalleled learning experiences and contributing to their growth as artists can be carried to the next generation.”
Options are being evaluated with regard to sustaining the organization’s future.

From Xinjiang Uigur, China:
My 11 year old daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on December 29th, 2005, with obvious signs of excessive hunger, thirst, urination and apparent weight loss. Her blood sugar was 25.8 mmol/L [464 mg/dl] and she had ketones.
She is at home now. I am monitoring her blood sugar seven times a day. She uses Novolin Regular Penfill insulin three times a day. The doses are ten, eight, and ten units for morning, noon and evening respectively. Each day before she sleeps, I would give her an additional six units of Humulin NPH insulin. Nevertheless, her glucose still remains high. Her last test shows 23 mmol/L [414 mg/dl].
Last night, she ate before her insulin shot and her glucose climbed to 33 mmol/L [594 mg/dl]. After I gave her six units of NPH at 11:00 p.m., her glucose dropped gradually to 5.3 mmol/L [95 mg/dl] at 8:00 a.m. I gave her the same doses today and I'm concerned.
My other concern is that she is too slim for her age. She is 144 cm (4 feet, 7 inches) tall and weighs 29 kg (64 pounds) whereas her identical twin sister is 147 cm (almost 4 feet, 10 inches) and 30 kg (66 pounds). The difference before her illness is not that significant. I hope she can eat more and gain weight without increasing her blood sugars. How can we reach this goal?
A noteworthy point is that my husband, my daughter's identical twin sister and I are all healthy and have no diabetes history in our family. Is her puberty diabetes temporal or permanent? Any advice for her recovery is highly appreciated.
Your English is quite good. Your daughter's history is quite interesting.
For a 30 kg girl, the total daily amount of insulin that your daughter receives is fairly reasonable. I hope that your physician has explained that very, very commonly, people with type 1 diabetes will progress to a phase of this condition commonly referred to as the "honeymoon phase." You may wish to read other questions about the diabetes Honeymoon. In short, the diabetes honeymoon is a process that typically leads to some improved insulin production from the patient's own pancreas. This typically occurs within the first two to six weeks after diagnosis and administration of supplemental insulin. With attention to meal planning and insulin and exercise, the typical diabetes honeymoon lasts about one to two years. During this time, it is not uncommon for the required doses of insulin to be less, but RARELY is insulin able to be stopped.
From your description, I would NOT expect the diabetes to be temporary.
Your other daughter, her identical twin, has a very high chance of also developing type 1 diabetes. There are special tests that could be done on both girls to better assess this, but I do not know how readily available they would be in China.
I also do not know the likelihood of your daughter being followed by a pediatric endocrinologist. I presume their are such sub-specialists in pediatric endocrinology in China, but I have none listed in the directory available to me. I do believe there are pediatric endocrinologists in Hong Kong and I know there are some in Thailand, Japan, and the Philippines. The reason I note this is because I, personally, would likely put your daughter on different insulin schedules/doses. The nighttime dose of NPH seems a little low to me.
PLEASE MAKE NO INSULIN REGIMEN CHANGE WITHOUT CONFERRING WITH YOUR CHILD'S DOCTOR. But, you might also consider adding some NPH to the morning dose of Regular. This might alleviate the need for Regular at lunchtime. Even if you do make some insulin changes, it will be important to have good contact with your child's doctor for on-going adjustments, especially as she enters and progresses through the anticipated diabetes honeymoon.
With good control of glucose values (and for an 11 year old girl, I'd shoot for a target about 4.4 mmol/L [80 mg/dL] to 8.3 [150 mg/dL] most of the time for now, maybe even a target at 10 mmol/L [180 mg/dL]), I'd expect gradual, appropriate weight gain to allow her to catch up any weight she lost before her diagnosis. This commonly is accomplished in the first four to six weeks of insulin therapy.
Other general advice: check the urine (or blood with a special meter and strips) for ketones if she is ill (especially with vomiting) or if the glucose is more than about 13.3 mmol/L [240 mg/dL].
If you have the chance to meet with a Certified Diabetes Educator, I would encourage you to do so.

The osprey is quite rare in the UK, so it was great to see one of these great birds of prey at Archbishop Fiorenza Park, just by a tollway and major road junction within half an hour of Houston centre. Signs by the lake implied that it contains quite large catfish, which was confirmed as the osprey flew overhead with a huge catfish in its talons. Even better, it then settled on a nearby telegraph pole to take a few bites. The only problem for photographs was that he was between the sun and us, so detail in the images is not great. But the silhouettes are impressive and really show the size of the fish taken by this huge bird. | <urn:uuid:0b4e2a3f-71e2-4b6e-976d-e70197e4388c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://barryhopewell.com/2019/03/08/osprey-and-catfish/ | 2019-07-17T12:55:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.987498 | 143 |
@Ingram For ICO and Coin analysis, I would highly recommend Ian Balina; you can check out his website and even follow his telegram page. He's good at token metrics.

@Owltmarket It seems we are not out of the woods yet in regards to the bear market. BTC has hit as low as $6700 this week. Of course such news coming from South Korea which is a major player in the crypto space is bound to have a negative impact to Bitcoin. However, let's not get wary of HODLING because crypto is for the long run. Day traders may be having a hard time with these fluctuations though. Do you own Bitcoin?
@Coin_Raven Thanks for sharing this. Am loving the easy to understand explanations on what blockchain is. It's awesome to find valuable content from a reliable source. True, this would be a great ICO landing page. @timmarsh you can direct your ICO people here.
@AfriDylan This is a great initiative and it will help shed some light on what's happening on the altcoin space. I like that in the summary there's the project's ranking on CoinMarketCap. Would it be possible in the short summary to show the cost of the altcoin, accepted modes of payment and whether the project has a bounty /airdrop?
@AfriDylan It's funny that you started this thread since it will help one reflect on their crypto worth. As for me, most of my crypto is in the form of tokens that haven't yet hit the exchanges for example SPX, TRF, EVN. As for coins, I have ETH because I love participating in ICOs and most of them accept Ethereum. Needless to say, the market is still bearish which is an ideal time to add to one's wallet.
@Flodner By and by, the revolution of blockchain is getting more popular. Even such small victories of successfully paying for pizza using crypto mean a lot to any crypto enthusiast out there. The other day I was so thrilled when I saw a lounge named Bitcoin Lounge in my former campus. You can be sure I popped in to find whether they accepted payment in Bitcoin; and they did!
@Coin_Raven For now it may seem that most of the Nigerians are untouchable when it comes to taxation. However, governments are increasingly interlinking their institutions to the taxman's main portal. For example in Kenya, to get a passport, one will be required to attach a current tax compliance certificate. In this way, more people are forced to have their taxes in order. What most governments may lack at this point is proper regulations and structures on how to tax crypto gains. So let's keep making money out of crypto until they figure out a way to tax our gains. | <urn:uuid:ea49e0bd-af3e-4aee-b721-9438062f209d> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://blockchainforums.info/user/cryptoqueen | 2019-07-17T13:00:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.964119 | 578 |
Internet Phishing: There’s always something phishy going on
You must have heard about the term “phishing” – an attempt by a malicious person or a group of individuals to deceive users to give out sensitive information such as passwords, usernames, credit card details, etc. You may have heard many examples of such fraud that you thought you would never fall for one of those scams, but think again. The truth is that phishing attacks are becoming a bigger threat than ever.
These attacks come in a variety of forms. Very well known is email phishing which includes fake links and malicious files hidden in the attached documents. Now we have “smishing”, which is phishing through the SMS text messages on your smartphone. And also “vishing”, voice phishing over the phone conducted by voice email, voice over IP (VoIP), or landline or cellular telephone. The victim is told to call a specific telephone number and give private information to verify identity and ensure that fraud does not occur.
Regardless of, that we have come far ahead with technology, today, we need to be a lot more cautious about online browsing than we needed to a few years ago.
The fusion of technology and social engineering have trigger phishing attacks that are more sophisticated and scarier than ever. Social engineering uses deception or manipulation to trick people so they give up confidential information and infect their computers. Criminals are seeking a piece of various information like your passwords, social security number, bank information, or access your computer to secretly install malicious software, that will give them access to your personal data and control over your computer. Combining phishing with malware can be the most powerful approach, usually in the form of an email with an urgent document attached. When you click on that attachment, your computer is infected and all your sensitive information is in the hands of criminals.
The real problem today is spear-phishing. There’s a huge amount of information available on the internet that someone can use to manipulate you. Social media especially makes it easier than ever for criminals to find out personal details about you. Fraudsters set up fake web sites that mimic the sign-in pages of trusted companies. The fake site includes a company’s logo and looks like the real page. Logos and the appearance of legitimate web sites are easy to copy. Criminals are enticing you to click on a phishing link for a variety of technical and social reasons. The phishing site is set up to trick you into disclosing your user name and password, bank account numbers, and the other functional secrets of modern life. Spear-phishing is still very successful on enterprise networks. Because it’s low volume, it’s much harder to detect.
Another kind of social engineering fraud to watch out for is CEO/Manager fraud. Criminals know that they can exploit employees’ natural desire to help a customer or please their superior. They find out details about the CEO or managers of a company using information publicly available online and they use that information to make targeted phishing messages to trick employees into compromising company data or making financial transfers.
Most of the time, a proper fake website gets an attacker whatever they need without expensive and detectable malware and that is a scary fact.
The attackers specialize in the exploitation of our biggest defect – being human. We are the weakest link. People are mostly confident by nature and none of us want to live in constant fear of phishing attacks and pay attention to every detail. It’s exhausting. We want to be careful, not paranoid.
Tech companies can’t prevent user behavior, all they can do is try to detect malware and phishing sites and encourage you to use two-factor authentication.
Turn on two-factor authentication where you can so that if your information is stolen or leaked, attackers still can’t take over your accounts. Use automatic updates and set up regular backups. It is a small effort and you don’t have to worry as much about theft if you know you can always get your stuff back. Use long and complex passwords, but write them down or use a password manager. Password managers are easy and will auto-fill your password on sites you’ve used before. You can use an online password-management system that syncs between devices. Don’t reuse passwords, and change your password on the sites where you know you’ve reused passwords. You can also sign up at Have I Been Pwned to find out which of your passwords have already leaked onto the internet.
If you not sure if a site is authentic, give a fake password to sign in. If you appear to be signed in, you’re likely on a phishing site. If you get an email from your bank, look for spelling errors, poor grammar, or inferior graphics, log in on your web browser and follow your own link. Let it become a habit for you not to open email attachments on your computer. In this way, you will be protected from malware. Put your files in a file-locker site, and open documents in a remote service.
If you receive a message, whether by email, phone, or otherwise and feel uncertain about it – always double check it before giving out any information. Legitimate companies will never ask you to verify or provide confidential information in an unsolicited email.
Update yourself not just your software because there is always something phishy going on. | <urn:uuid:598c3e2d-d175-46c8-9d2e-1efa0cebcd77> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://blog.rapidvpn.com/2019/05/03/internet-phishing-theres-always-something-phishy-going-on/ | 2019-07-17T12:20:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.93719 | 1,124 |
How children move into the world of math
Approximately 5-10 % of children and adults have difficulty in at least one domain of mathematics. Since remediation programs need to be practical, effective and up to date, researchers are trying to learn more about the underlying mechanisms of mathematical cognition. My research is primarily concerned with the role of motor skills in the development of basic numerical skills and mathematical school achievement. I have also looked at the relationship between motor skills and executive functions, and at their different roles in the development of mathematical skills.
How children learn about mathematics
The development of mathematical skills begins long before children enter school. Children are born with an informal awareness of numbers and magnitudes, or what is often referred to as number sense. At the age of only four and a half months, babies are already able to distinguish between groups of small numbers of objects. This and similar non-symbolic skills are believed to be intuition-based and relatively imprecise, and are therefore also referred to as the approximate number system (ANS).
Symbolic skills are acquired when children are able to name the numbers or use Arabic numerals. Symbolic skills are exact by nature; it is possible to determine precisely how many objects are contained in a collection, not just whether there are more or fewer than in another collection. Once children have mastered the counting principles – such as the one-to-one-principle, which states that there is only one name for one quantity of objects – they are able to solve simple arithmetic problems by counting up addends.
Usually they do this by counting on their fingers, using one hand for each addend. Take, for example, the following problem: “If I have three toy cars and my sister gives me one, how many do I have all together?” The child might show three fingers on his right hand and one on the left, and then count the fingers on both hands to arrive at the answer: four. With time and experience, a child’s strategies for solving similar arithmetic problems become more sophisticated and complex.
Basic numerical skills and an understanding of magnitudes are of special interest to researchers, since they help to prepare children for what they will learn in school. With more experience, children develop an understanding of a spatially arranged representation of magnitudes, expressed by the mental number line. In Western cultures, smaller numbers are mentally represented on the left and larger numbers on the right.
Several studies have investigated the accuracy of children’s ability to compare magnitudes and the linearity of their number line estimations, because these skills are predictive of later mathematics achievement. To tailor remediation programs to the needs of children who have difficulties in this area, it is crucial to know what mechanisms underlie the most basic skills and the other skills that support them during the development process.
Is there a relationship between motor skills and mathematical cognition?
Two theories suggest that cognition is based on early sensorimotor sensation and experience. Psychologist Jean Piaget believed that the first phase of life is determined by sensorimotor representation; that is, infants learn new information through movements and sensations.
The second theory, called embodied cognition, posits that cognition, for the most part mathematical cognition, is grounded in bodily processes beyond the brain itself. According to these theories, there should be a strong relationship between children’s numerical or mathematical skills and their motor skills.
As pointed out above, at first children count and perform simple arithmetic using their fingers. It seems quite clear that there is some relationship between fine motor skills (finger movements) and mathematical skills (in this case counting and simple arithmetic). Some studies have looked at this relationship. They have often found correlations and have observed the activation of certain brain regions, which they have attributed to experiences early in childhood. It is important to determine whether there is a similar relationship between fine motor skills and mathematical skills in childhood as well.
Once again, several studies have investigated this relationship, but most have also included other “supporting skills,” such as executive functions. “Executive function” is an umbrella term for the ability to adapt, regulate, monitor, and control one’s own behavior or information processes.
Executive functions are particularly important for skills or tasks that require a certain amount of higher-order processing, such as shifting the focus of one’s attention or excluding irrelevant information, as well as for retaining relevant information in short-term or working memory. They are commonly the dominant predictor of mathematics achievement in school and closely correlated with basic numerical skills.
For my PhD project, I conducted a longitudinal study with two objectives: The first was to find out whether executive functions and motor skills are differently correlated with symbolic and non-symbolic skills; and the second was to determine if and how executive functions, motor skills and basic numerical skills predict later mathematical skills.
The study included over 150 children in kindergarten and second grade, who were asked to compare magnitudes and estimate number lines in a symbolic and non-symbolic version. They also completed a motor-skill battery and were asked to solve computer-based tasks assessing their executive functions. The second graders also completed a standard mathematics test with equations, sequences and simple subtraction and addition problems.
Motor skills are related to non-symbolic skills
The results showed that motor skills and non-symbolic skills were correlated, as were executive function and symbolic skills. This pattern supports Jean Piaget’s theory, showing that the non-symbolic skills that are acquired earlier in a child’s development depend on motor skills, while the symbolic skills that develop later are supported by executive functions. Overall, the results point in the same direction: Basic numerical skills, which are predicted by executive functions and motor skills (as mentioned above), are the dominant predictor of mathematics achievement in second grade.
I also found that executive functions are an indirect predictor of later mathematics achievement (through basic numerical skills) and that factors of executive functions are differently associated to various basic numerical skills. However, I was unable to find evidence that motor skills predict mathematics achievement.
“Motor skills play an important role in the transition from non-symbolic to symbolic skills, through finger counting, and are thus indirectly associated with second-grade mathematics achievement.”
Another interesting finding may offer a possible explanation for these results. Motor skills and executive functions are highly correlated. This strong relationship may provide another indirect pathway for motor skills to affect mathematics achievement. If better motor skills lead to better executive function (and vice versa), and better executive function (and motor skills) lead to better basic numerical skills, which, in turn, lead to better mathematics achievement, it can be argued that motor skills indirectly predict mathematics achievement.
The results suggest that motor skills are important for the non-symbolic basic numerical skills that develop early in life. In addition, however, motor skills play an important role in the transition from non-symbolic to symbolic skills, through finger counting, and are thus indirectly associated with second-grade mathematics achievement. | <urn:uuid:578c3382-9669-4eac-bcc3-bdb0a0b885e5> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://bold.expert/how-children-move-into-the-world-of-math/ | 2019-07-17T12:43:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.963039 | 1,447 |

Please stop blaming capitalism for America’s problems! Capitalism is something we used to have in the past. It helped build us into the greatest country on Earth. But then it gradually became corrupted, and evolved into some bizarre combination of crony-capitalism/corporatism, socialism, and fascism. Suddenly we became a country ruled by big banks, big government, big corporations, crooked politicians, Wall Street, special interests, and the military industrial complex. That’s not capitalism! Therefore socialism cannot fix the ‘problem,’ it’s only going to increase the size and scope of government! More programs, more taxes. More money out of your paycheck and given to some of the most inept and corrupt people in the country! Not only have our politicians spent every dime ever taken from us, they have also put us nearly Twenty Trillion dollars in debt! They have already stolen our future, and the solution is to give them even more money?
But wait, don’t we need big government to regulate and protect us from the big corporations? Maybe, remember when the corporations cut off the clean water supply in Flint, Michigan? And they gave them the highly corrosive river water instead? And it dissolved the old plumbing structure leading to a dangerous lead infestation that poisoned the population? All so they could save a measly one-hundred dollars a day? But then a big government bureaucracy swooped in to expose the scandal and save the day? No, because that’s not what happened! It was the government that both caused and covered-up the catastrophe! And it was local citizens who ended up exposing it. The reality is this: big government can create as many problems as it solves, and can be every bit as bad as the big corporations.

This could be treating ourselves better, treating other people better or especially, treating our environment better, each and every day we have the chance to make a difference.
Good Pantry is a new beginning for us and the world. Good Pantry’s mission and calling are to share our energies to promote a more prosperous, healthier and ultimately happier existence to all who are willing to welcome us in. How can we be fearful of such a simple and ordinary goal!? How can we be apprehensive when there is already such an abundance of good in the world!? We don’t think we can.
The end of the year is quickly approaching and it might be time to start thinking about how you can make in your life. Chris Johnstone’s simple yet effective 2014 article on how grapple change to make it affirmative and constructive is a good read. Take the 5 minutes to have a look, set the intent in place and let’s grow and change together. All for the greater good!! Eat good, do good. | <urn:uuid:8519e805-54a1-47cb-a7cb-8fc3089ca1ea> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://goodpantry.co.nz/2017/11/09/new-beginnings/ | 2019-07-17T12:57:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.95155 | 239 |

For 144 days people around the world have been captivated by photos taken by a man living in a small metal box.
The man was Commander Chris Hadfield, and the metal box was the International Space Station (ISS), in orbit 250 miles above the surface of the earth.
Between 21 December 2012 and the beginning of this week, when he began his return to earth, Chris took photos of the incredible sights he saw. He beamed them back to earth via Twitter, and soon became a hit on the social media site, gaining hundreds of thousands of followers.
The irony was that for all the millions of dollars spent to send him to space, his fame was built on the photos he took not gazing into the furthest reaches of the galaxy, but looking back to earth.
And what a sight he had to look back at. Commander Hadfield’s pictures were truly stunning. It is impossible to look at them without marvelling at the beauty and complexity of this little blue-green ball of carbon spinning in space. We saw snow-capped mountains and the wind’s patterns in thedesert sand; every imaginable shade of blue in the oceans and crazy streaks of red in the Australian outback; ranks of clouds queuing patiently over Hull and the moon rising above the “only planet we have ever called home”.
When we as Christians see such images, we are quickly moved to praise the God who designed and made it all with such care, such precision and such ease. We cry out with the psalmist: “What is man that you are mindful of him?” Or to put it in more inclusive language: “What are humans that you are mindful of us?”
Science fiction writer Douglas Adams once imagined a “Total Perspective Vortex” in which a person would be given a momentary glimpse of the size and complexity of the universe and him- or herself in relation to it: “An invisible dot on an invisible dot, infinitely small.” The experience, he surmised, would fry your brain. We have an aching need to feel that we have significance, that in some way we matter to somebody, somewhere. The idea that we can’t even be seen from the ISS is humbling, and can be crushingly so.
The good news, though, for us and our friends, is that the God who made it all is also the God who sees us. You’re not an invisible dot on an invisible dot, you’re a precious child, known and beloved. And that makes a world of difference.

Talking, thinking and writing about cities are among my favorite things.
I have always been passionate about large cities, and the inter-relationship between the built environment, neighborhoods and the lives of those who grow up in them. Among other things, the quality of the built environment affects community bonds, student self-esteem and the economic opportunities available to residents. The public sector, the private sector and nonprofits all have a role to play in improving economic opportunities, and I’ve worked in all three.
I live that inter-relationship: I grew up in Long Island City with an unobstructed view of the Manhattan skyline… and I’ve been an Instructor in Historic Preservation at the School of the Art Institute since 2000, and have taught classes on Daniel Burnham and the development of Chicago at DePaul University.
I’ve been a Senior Program Officer for the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and worked as a real estate development consultant in New York and Chicago. I have extensive nonprofit experience in strategic planning, fostering new partnerships, grant-writing, advocacy, market analysis and financial analysis.
My passion is teaching about the importance of the evolution of cities (especially Chicago and New York), focusing on the appreciation of the importance and distinctiveness of neighborhoods, and on their aesthetic, artistic, architectural and urban design characteristics.
I initiated Jane’s WalkCHICAGO for Friends of Downtown in 2013, and I served as the City Organizer for Chicago until 2017. Since then, I’ve become a member of the Advisory Board of The Center for the Living City, been lead author of “Heritage as an Element of the Scenescape,” a contribution to Oxford Handbook of Public Heritage Theory and Method (Summer 2018) and am now working on a book about the different approaches to looking at an urban environment, and why those approaches matter. | <urn:uuid:73a30e21-b874-4034-aab8-1d03d60423b4> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://marthafrish.wordpress.com/ | 2019-07-17T12:58:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.950029 | 382 |

11th January 2018 – 18th January 2018
We again were recommended to the Spanish town of Conil by Ray and Marge who we met in Lagos and friends of Steve and Margaret. We decided to settle down for a week, hire a car and visit Cadiz which has been on my bucket list since Rick Stein went there on his BBC series Long Weekends. We hired a car from the site where we were staying, a huge old Mercedes with over 325,000 km on the clock. When we signed the paperwork it stipulated no pets allowed in the car, David and I looked at each other as he signed the paperwork and walked out. As a result, as we drove in and out of the site in the Merc I sat in the back, felt like ‘Driving Miss Daisy’ hiding Chloe under a blanket. That was the whole point of the car, so we could get around with our dog, the car was about 25 years old ! Every time we got back into the beast I couldn’t stop laughing, cruising along in this massive chunk of metal.
We had the car for 2 days and travelled around the area to Vejer de la Frontera a beautiful Spanish town with winding cobbled streets and a fantastic square with the most beautiful fountain taking centre stage. Barbate, with a beach as far as the eye could see and the best Paella so far. Cape Trafalgar, where Nelson was killed in the great battle between the English, Spanish & French and it’s stunning surf beaches and to the City of Cadiz. Trying to park the huge monster in the tight underground car park was not easy and poor David was shunting it backwards and forwards for ages. Luckily he is a patient man. When we finally parked it, we realised we couldn’t get the dog out !
We loved Cadiz, it had a great vibe to it. Now, you all know we love a fish market and as we had Chloe with us, we had to visit the daily market separately. It is by far the best fish market we have ever been to and we have been to afew. I would have so loved for my Dad to be walking around with me as he would have loved it more than us. I wonder if the Spanish take it for granted the amazing market they have on their doorstep. There was also a fruit and veg stall that you had to get a ticket for and wait to be served. Where, if ever, have you had to do this in the UK ? It is such a shame that most fruit and vegetables we buy in the UK are wrapped in plastic. We spent the whole day in Cadiz, leisurely taking in the whole city. Exploring the narrow winding streets connecting to the wide plazas. We also walked through the parks and were in awe of the giant trees supposedly brought to Spain by Columbus from the New World. We stopped for lunch overlooking the beach with a glass of wine and thought, how very, very lucky we are. | <urn:uuid:7d70a56b-93ef-4a4c-9b62-721e776886c7> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://onceinalifetime.blog/2018/02/03/the-city-of-cadiz/ | 2019-07-17T12:29:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.987307 | 615 |
This study examined the relationship of adaptive and pathological (grandiose and vulnerable) expressions of narcissism to attachment style and the capacity for reflective functioning (RF). Narcissism serves a relevant personality construct in clinical theory, social psychology and psychiatry but remains inconsistently defined across these disciplines. Theoretical accounts support the notion that attachment difficulties and maladaptive patterns of mentally representing self and others serve as the substrates for narcissistic pathology but are less pronounced in adaptive narcissism. A multiple regression analysis was conducted in a college student sample of 345 participants applying a cross-sectional, survey design. It was hypothesized that pathological narcissism (grandiose or vulnerable) is associated with higher degrees of attachment-related anxiety and avoidance and lower levels of RF than is adaptive narcissism.
Results: With respect to convergent validity, measures of adaptive and pathological narcissism exhibited a differential pattern of correlations to general psychopathology, thereby supporting the notion that distinct constructs crystallize within narcissism's heterogeneity. Multiple regression analysis confirmed the two-component structure of pathological narcissism representing narcissistic grandiosity and narcissistic vulnerability. Narcissistic vulnerability significantly predicted higher levels of attachment anxiety, an effect that remained after controlling for narcissistic grandiosity and adaptive narcissism. In contrast, adaptive narcissism significantly predicted lower levels of attachment anxiety. Contrary to expectation, this effect was not observed for avoidant attachment, i.e. pathological narcissism was not found to be a stronger predictor of avoidant attachment than adaptive narcissism. This study further found that pathological narcissism was not a stronger predictor of poor reflective functioning than was adaptive narcissism. In sum, these findings illustrate how overall psychopathology and attachment anxiety vary across the three narcissistic expressions, thereby weakening narcissism's clinical utility as currently defined in the DSM-5. Theoretical and treatment implications are also reviewed.

When tasked with teaching employees about social engineering, the industry doesn’t half make it hard. People sat in marketing that have never sent a phishing email, or set foot in an office with a key-logger in their pocket chirp up the most awful terminology and this only serves to further alienate our intended learners. I thought I’d break this down and help you get to grips with the minimum of what’s needed.
No, it’s not a nasty Adobe Photoshop issue… an attack vector is just a path, a medium that an attacker is going to use to perform malicious social engineering. It’s much more relevant to let go of the buzzwords and worry about how they’ll impact you – at least then we can do something about it right?!
Just for those at the back of the class fast asleep, phishing is when an attacker sends you an email and it’s designed in a way that attempts to trick you.
Ignore the types. We don’t work for the NSA. We aren’t here to examine what kind of email campaign it is. I’m pretty sure you’ll have time to argue with your company CEO about it being a spear-phishing email or a whaling emailing when they are packing their hopes and dreams into a cardboard box post-breach.
Here is the thing, we send training emails out every single day! and it doesn’t matter if it’s a simple button or a three-page letter profiled from your household rubbish – people are going to click! Hell, some of our best phishing emails don’t even have anything to click and instead rely on building rapport with the subject.
So picture the scene, an attacker is out there with their telephone. You’re in your office doing whatever it is you do so well. How are they going to trick you and what ‘attack vectors’ are they going to use?
Well, they might send you a humble text message with a link in (SMShing) and you might click on that link and give them your password or install a malicious app on your phone. That’s one way sure… The criminals can also call (Vishing) and try to trick you with some smooth talking. Can you imagine getting a call from some loser, trying to act like he is your new line manager and you need to give them your password in a hurry… That’s as simple as a telephone attack can be – but that’s the beauty! They work because they bypass all the hustle and bustle of the office and all the protections your workplace has implemented to secure you. For a brief moment in time, it’s just them and you, mano a mano. Everything rests on what you will do with the SMS message or what you’ll say on the telephone. If you’re like me though, you didn’t come into work to duel with some hacker on a phone, so you might be caught unaware.
It’s not all geekery and black magic from a veiled corner in the world of social engineering. We head out to workplaces, admittedly often when the above techniques have failed! We try to physically obtain access to the site. No army gear or royal marine commandos stuff either, It’s just me and the trusty backpack, which contains the essentials you need for the mission. Often this is some mixed nuts, a drink and of course the laptop.
I sometimes wait outside the building and wait for someone to approach, when they unlock the door I might end a phone call and snap into action – grabbing the door before it has the chance to close. This means I can enter your workplaces using the authentication granted to the person who let me in (tailgating). When I’m there I’ll try to blend right in, all the time plugging in gadgets, placing malicious USBs on desks and hacking the WiFi.
You may find it hard to learn all the terms you’ve heard people explaining. But what if I confided in readers that myself, a consulting social engineer often have to Google some of the ridiculous terminologies I see. Terms such as ‘snowshoe spamming’ pop up and I groan reading the example some marketing graduate has invented after a 5 minute chat with a person that once sent a naughty email in 1998.
If it was essential we know the terminology to defend ourselves from cyber crime, I’d be screaming it from the rooftops – but it’s simply not that important.
Do our valued employees really need to know the definitions of all types of social engineering attack vectors? Or should we be teaching them useful defensive strategies to use in the workplace and at home, in order to defend against these attack attempts? Instead of knowing the difference between spearphishing and whaling… Do your users know how to dissect a malicious domain used in phishing emails and bogus websites? Or understand that text messages can easily appear to be from anyone and can bypass a lot of security controls?
What’s vitally important is that we learn how these criminals are affecting us with this trickery. We have our guard up when we receive a suspicious email. We politely decline to allow a stranger to enter the building behind us. These are the kind of skills that will serve to protect the organisation and keep everyone safe.
So of all the confusing things in this world, please don’t let them trick you, social engineering is not some black magic voodoo. | <urn:uuid:1009f12f-0378-43f2-beba-abe9420a8fe1> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://theantisocialengineer.com/2019/06/24/troublesome-terminology/ | 2019-07-17T12:25:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.945716 | 1,162 |
Active Release Technique (ART)
Active Release Technique (ART) addresses soft tissue conditions and injuries via body manipulation and movement. Affected areas are targeted and isolated specifically to increase blood flow and accelerate healing. ART can be used to treat pain in the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and even nerves.
Active Release Technique breaks up adhesions in the body, which is really just dense scar tissue that forms when you have an injury in your muscles or connective tissue. This can reduce flexibility or range of motion, cause stiffness in your neck, back, elbows, or knees, decreased strength, or lead to tingling or numbness. By breaking up scar tissue, muscles and joints can more more freely without pain and/or stiffness.
During your session, we will first identify where the scar tissue is located in the body, then we will manipulate the area to break up the problematic scar tissue and increase blood flow to the affected area. This will start to immediately promote healing and reduce some of the symptoms you’re struggling with.
If you’re curious how Active Release Technique can help you feel and perform better, stop in and see us. For some people, it only takes one session to feel better, but depending on your injury or condition, it may take multiple sessions. We can help answer any questions you may have about ART before your session!

Today’s Countdown to Easter story is about being rescued. This picture comes from a day when my kids and I ventured up the canyon just 10 minutes from my home on a rare snowy day here in southern AZ. Our minivan got stuck in the snow but some kind souls stopped to help pull us out so we could go home. Each of us at some time in our life, no matter how smart, famous, beautiful, rich, fashionable or cute we are, will get stuck and depend on someone else to rescue us. Ultimately, each of us are stuck in death and sin and depend on our Savior Jesus Christ, who is sinless, to rescue us. At Easter time we celebrate our Savior’s rescuing grace.
I love this story from the New Era, the youth magazine for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, about some youth who got stuck in a snowy canyon and then were rescued. Rescue situations are very real and scary. I rejoice whenever I hear of someone being rescued. It just serves to remind me of how precarious our mortal situation is and that we are dependent on Jesus Christ for everything we have and can be. This is great news because Jesus wants us to have everything He and the Father have, and we can, if we follow Jesus and do what He asks us to do. See Romans 8:16-17. | <urn:uuid:bde41e3e-9a6e-4301-801a-26b75643361a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://treeoflifemothering.com/2018/03/29/countdown-to-easter-day-5-lost-in-the-canyon/ | 2019-07-17T12:30:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.952822 | 277 |
Baking season is upon us, but what to do during those agonizing minutes as you wait for your favorite homemade holiday treats in the oven? Instead of fastidiously scraping the bowl clean for every morsel of delicious dough (no judgement—we’ve all done it), get in a workout! The three workouts below are designed to fit the standard baking times of some of the most popular holiday desserts. Best of all, they are high intensity (which means a high caloric burn), require no equipment, and can be performed in a kitchen. So tear off the apron, slip on some sneakers, and let’s get to work!
The Cookie Workout
Gingerbread are in the oven! You’ve got 12 minutes to crank out two rounds of this miniature full-body circuit! Do each move for 45 seconds, then rest for 15 seconds before moving on to the next (feel free to shorten the rest period if you need more of a challenge).
1. Jumping jacks
This classic move will get your heart pumping because exercises that involve raising your hands over your head maximize total caloric burn.
Step forward so that the front leg is at a 90-degree angle with your back leg bent. Raise your arms above your head as you step forward, challenging your balance and core. Make sure your front knee does not go past your ankle! Return to standing, then switch legs.
Nothing will work off that cookie dough sugar buzz like a burpee. Hop with your hands above your head then immediately place your hands on the ground, jumping your feet back to a straight arm push-up position. Do one push-up, then hop back up to standing. Repeat. To modify, walk instead of jump your legs back, and do the push-up on your knees.
4. Roll ups
You might want a yoga mat or thick towel for this one because you’ll need to lie on your back with your legs out straight on the floor and your arms raised above your head (think of squeezing your head between your biceps). Using your abs, keeping your legs on the floor, slowly rise to a straight back seated position, then slowly lower back down. Keep those arms by your ears the entire time! For a less challenging move, reach your arms in front of you, zombie style.
5. High knees
As fast as you can, bring one knee up to hip level, then switch legs. Pump those arms like you are running in place. Try to stay light on your feet, instead of pounding each foot down. For motivation, pretend that the faster you go, the faster your cookies will be done.
6. Tricep push-ups
Start in a straight arm push-up position, but with your hands directly underneath your shoulders. Keeping the core tight, slowly bend your elbows back toward your ribcage so they brush by your sides as you lower your body two inches from the ground.To modify, drop to your knees or lean against the counter.
The Cupcake Workout
You’ve got 24 cupcakes and 24 minutes to burn through three rounds of this cardio and strength circuit. Take a break if you need it. Otherwise, do each move non-stop.
1. Thrusters (two minutes)
Stand with legs hip-width apart, toes pointed forward. Lower into a seated position, keeping your weight in your heels, as if you were sitting in an invisible chair. Return to standing, squeezing your glutes, and raise your arms above your head. Repeat.
2. Sumo Squat Hops (one minute)
Take a wide stance, toes pointed out, knees bent in a 90-degree angle (like a sumo wrestler). Be sure those knees don’t go past your ankles! Jump up and land in the starting position. Repeat.
3. Push-Ups (30 seconds)
4. Plank Hold (30 seconds)
Do these either in a straight arm push-up position or resting on your forearms for a challenge. Keep those abs tight like you’re zipping up a tight pair of pants after a few too many cupcakes.
5. Lunges (two minutes)
6. Mountain Climbers (one minute)
Start in a straight arm push-up position. Bring one knee in toward your chest, quickly return to start. Alternate legs as fast as you can. Keep those abs tight as you “climb” up your cupcake mountain!
7. Side Plank (30 seconds each side)
Lie on your side, legs stacked, one forearm on the floor with your elbow directly underneath your shoulder. Your body should form a straight line. Raise your hips so only your forearm and feet make contact with the floor. Hold, and don’t forget to breathe.
The Brownie Burnout Workout
Those fudgy brownies take forever to bake, so get in as many rounds as you can of this intense calorie-torching circuit. It’s tough, but those brownies are worth the burn. Tip: take 30–60 second breaks between rounds to sip some water … or to check on those chocolatey squares of decadence!
1. 50 jumping jacks
2. 40 mountain climber
3. 30 lunges
4. 20 sumo squat hops
5. 10 roll-ups
6. 5 burpees
7. 1-minute forearm plank hold

|~ The Priest about Satan.|
Satan is the well-known enemy of both God and humanity, and the secondary antagonist of the John Carpenter 1987 supernatural horror film Prince of Darkness. This version of The Devil is a primordial, constantly swirling green liquid that is the embodiment of the powerful demonic being that is called the Evil One. He also serves his "father", a more powerful and malevolent force called the Anti-God.
Satan known by all to the most malevolent figure in the biblical traditions of the Abrahamic religions, was actually the child of another, yet less-known and malicious immortal entity, a god who walked the Earth eons ago and imprisoned his son in to a cylinder for 7 million years in what is now known as the present-day Middle East before his banishment to the dark side of the universe.
Centuries later, in ancient Isreal, Jesus who comes to warn every one of Satan, and even his dark father too, was believed to be of an, as well as the Romans, try, but of a human-like race. Finally, the religious Jewish authorities, as well as the Romans, determined Christ was crazy but he was also gaining power, converting many people to his beliefs, so they had him murdered by execution and crucifixion. But his disciples kept the secret from civilization until mankind develops a science sophisticated enough to determine and prove what Jesus has warned.In the 16th century, a Christian sect in Spain called the Brotherhood of Sleep, found the canister somewhere in the Middle East and had rearranged to its relocation by the Spanish government. The Brotherhood took the ancient object to the New World (Americas) and took a vow of silence, even about their own existence that no one, not even the Vatican knew about them or the cylinder they guarded. And they do so for many years ever since.
Satan and the Anti-God
A priest invites Professor Howard Birack and a group of academics and students from the Doppler Institute of Physics to join him in the basement of the abandoned Saint Goddard's Church in downtown Los Angeles, where he requests their assistance in investigating a mysterious cylinder containing a constantly swirling, green liquid. Among those present is Brian Marsh, a student in metaphysics. A young radiologist among the assembled team of students and researchers recognized the place as a once beautiful and live church back in the 1950s that her husband's parents used to attend to before it was closed down for an unknown reason. The group later learned from the priest who requested to join him that the priest named Father Carlton who was in charge of Saint Goddard's before he recently died of natural causes, was the last living member of the same forgotten Christian sect known as the Brotherhood of Sleep.
After researching the text found next to the cylinder, it is discovered that the liquid is the corporeal embodiment of Satan. The liquid appears sentient, producing increasingly complex data that is revealed by computer decoding to include differential equations.
Over a period of two days, small jets of liquid escape the cylinder and possess the group including Susan as his first victim, one by one to use them against the remaining survivors. Attempts to escape the building are thwarted by a mass of possessed street people who surround the building, barricade the doors from the outside, and kill two of the group.
Birack and the priest theorize that the being within the cylinder is actually the son of an even more powerful force of evil, the "Anti-God", who is bound to the realm of anti-matter. The survivors also find themselves sharing a recurring nightmare (apparently a tachyon transmission sent as a warning from the future year "one-nine-nine-nine") showing a shadowy figure emerging from the front of the church. The shaky transmission with the shadowy figure seems to change slightly with each occurrence of the dream, revealing progressively more detail. The narration of the transmission each time instructs the 'dreamer' that they are witnessing an actual broadcast from the future, and they must alter the course of events to prevent this occurrence.
Eventually, the cylinder opens and the remaining liquid is absorbed into the body of Kelly, one of the students with a strange bruise that is shaped like a caduceus (the Staff of Hermes symbol used in astrology and alchemy as well as in ritual magic), who becomes the physical vessel of the Devil: A gruesomely disfigured being, with powers of telekinesis and regeneration, who attempts to bring the Anti-God through a dimensional portal using a mirror, initially failing because the mirror is too small.
Kelly finds a larger wall mirror and begins to draw the Father's hand through it as most of the group are immobilized by fights with the other possessed members and believes them to be no threat. Marsh's lover, Catherine Danforth, is the only one free to act, so she tackles Kelly, causing both of them to fall through the portal. The priest shatters the mirror, trapping Kelly, the Anti-God, and Danforth in the other realm. Danforth is seen briefly on the other side of the mirror reaching out to the portal before it closes, leaving her in darkness. With the bulk of Satan's power trapped in the other side, his power in our world wanes causing the possessed to die, and his influence on the street people ceases making them wander away, and the survivors are rescued, relieved that the evil has been thwarted.
Marsh has the recurring dream again, except now an apparently possessed Danforth is the figure emerging from the building. Marsh appears to awaken, rolling over to find a gruesomely disfigured Danforth lying in bed with him. Marsh awakens, screaming, and then recovers enough to approach his bedroom mirror, hand outstretched. The film cuts to black just before his fingers touch the mirror.

Dr. Andrew Chan is a residency-trained optometrist who graduated with honours from the New England College of Optometry in 2009. Prior to this, he completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Calgary and obtained his BSc. in Biological Sciences.
During his clinical training, he practiced in a wide range of clinical settings among diverse patient demographics, giving him greater understanding of epidemiologic trends in eyecare. His experiences included working with community health centres in Boston, the New England Eye Institute, and the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Manchester, NH. He also trained at the University of Maryland’s Department of Ophthalmology in Baltimore, MD, where he gained insight on medical and surgical disease management and obtained an in-depth understanding of the full spectrum of eyecare. Following graduation, he pursued residency training with the Pennsylvania College of Optometry, working with a group ophthalmology practice in Maryland to gain further experience in ocular disease. There, he had the opportunity to work in conjunction with pediatric, refractive surgery, retinal and glaucoma specialists. During this time, he was also a sub-investigator for a number of clinical trials, researching next-generation pharmaceuticals for eyecare — many of which have now successfully reached the market.
He has presented at the American Academy of Optometry and lectured at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry and at continuing education courses as well. He has also been a provider of hospital inpatient and nursing home eyecare.
Born and raised in Calgary, Dr. Chan eventually decided to return to his hometown. As an avid skier, he enjoys Calgary’s proximity to the mountains. In his spare time, he keeps up with his fitness through cycling and running, but has interest and experience in a broad number of athletic activities, which also helps him understand patients’ safety and visual performance needs during their athletic pursuits.

The Montessori Assistant Toolkit is a targeted collection of seven of our workshops that gives a classroom assistant new to Montessori all the needed skills to support teachers and children in early childhood and early elementary Montessori classrooms (2.5-9 years old).
Each of the seven workshops consists of a series of lessons that cover key concepts necessary to understand and work in a Montessori Classroom. They utilize innovative features, multimedia content, summary assessments, and hands-on assignments in a workbook. Participants work through the lessons at their own pace; however, we suggest they complete them and the follow-up exercises over a period of seven weeks (one per week) to maximize their understanding. This pace is also easy to fit into any schedule as it is not a significant impact on a person’s time.
In addition to the 7 workshops designed for classroom assistants, we throw in a bonus workshop for teachers titled Supporting Classroom Assistants. It provides lead guides with tips and strategies for working more effectively with their classroom assistant. It is designed to provide the leader of a Montessori learning environment with the insights and skills needed to make the best use of their assistants and raise the performance of the whole classroom.
Though aimed at classroom assistants, this course is also ideal for any adult new to Montessori, including board members, volunteers, parents, and others needing an overview of a functioning of a Montessori classroom. For more detailed information on the contents of the course, sample content, and included bonus materials, please visit the Montessori Assistant Toolkit page.

Our rates are terrific and working with a local lender means you will know your loan officer and they will be there for your loan closing to ensure that everything is accurate.
FHA loans require a 3.5% downpayment that can be from the borrowers own funds, a gift from a family member or employer, or a community sponsored second mortgage like our Utah Housing Loan Program.
Minimum credit scores are not required, but generally need to be above a 620 FICO score in order to qualify. You do not need to be a first time homebuyer to use the FHA program, but usually you can only have one FHA loan at a time.

The Honora Story
For over 70 years, the Honora brand has been grounded in two beliefs: that pearls are nature’s most GLORIOUS wonders and that they are the birthright of every woman.
The natural iridescence of a Freshwater Pearl, aka its Luster, refers to the way light plays against the surface of the pearl. Like the incredible women who wear Honora, nothing can dim its magnificent inner glow. The reflective powers of pearls make them the most flattering gems to wear against
Pearls have long been considered the ultimate symbol of affluence and social standing. In ancient times they were reserved ONLY for royalty and laws were even put into place that forbade anyone but nobility from wearing them. more | <urn:uuid:79fbc230-b3fa-4343-a69b-296c56f0e88c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.crisson.com/honora/ | 2019-07-17T13:15:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.972408 | 152 |
The recent decline in the Canadian dollar has many Canadians wondering if t’s still worth shopping in the U.S.
In many cases, the answer is a resounding yes. However, to compensate for the lower Loonie, you’ll need to be a little more resourceful if you want to maximize your savings. To help you out, we’ve created a list of our top ten cross border shopping tips for Canadians.
1. Stay Overnight for Larger Duty Free Allowances
If you’re planning a shopping trip to the U.S., staying at a local hotel for one or two nights can really help stretch your savings, as duty free limits for Canadians increase the longer you stay in the U.S.
For example, Canadians who spend less than 24 hours in the United States aren’t entitled to a duty free allowance. If you extend your trip for longer than 24 hours, your duty free allowance increases to $200 per person, and for trips longer than 48 hours, your duty free allowance jumps to $800 per person. You can find more information about duty free allowances here.
If you do your research, you will find that some hotels in popular cross border shopping destinations offer discounted rates and shopping packages for Canadians who book directly with the hotel (as opposed to booking with a third party website or travel agent).
2. Minimize Foreign Exchange Fees
One area where Canadians can lower their cross border shopping costs is by reducing foreign transaction fees. If you make purchases in U.S. dollars, you are going to have to incur a fee at some point to convert your Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars (and vice versa). However, the amount you pay to convert your money can vary greatly, from as low as 1% to as high as 6%.
Banks, financial institutions and other businesses that offer foreign exchange services make money by charging a commission to convert your money from one currency to another. This commission is often referred to as a “spread”, which usually ranges from 1% - 3.5%. Some foreign exchange services, such as credit cards and ATM machines, usually charge an additional foreign transaction fee of 2.5% or more.
You can cut down on your foreign exchange costs by following these tips:
- Use Cash and Convert your Money Before you Travel: Cash can often be one of the most effective ways to make purchases in U.S. dollars. If you plan on exchanging your Canadian currency for U.S. dollars, we suggest converting your money before you travel to avoid finding yourself in a situation where you have to convert your money at an unfavourable rate. If you plan on converting your money in Canada, shop around first, as the rates offered by the banks can differ greatly, and many smaller foreign exchange services have better rates than any of the banks.
- Stick to Credit Cards with No Foreign Transaction Fees: While credit cards are a very convenient way to pay for and track your cross border purchases, be aware that most Canadian credit cards charge a foreign exchange spread ranging from 2% to 3.5% PLUS a foreign transaction fee of about 2.5%, which means your cost of converting money could be as high as 6% depending on your bank!
If you want to use a credit card to make U.S. dollar purchases, you should strongly consider getting one of the only no-foreign transaction fee credit cards available in Canada which offers both the convenience of a credit card and lower foreign exchange fees.
- Avoid ATM Machines in the U.S: While they can be convenient, ATM machines should only be used as a last resort to access foreign currency if you are in a pinch, as they often charge some of the highest currency conversion spreads in addition to other fees that can really add up. You may not even be aware of how much you are paying until you get home and see your next bank statement.
3. Join Retailer Email Lists and Loyalty Programs
Many retailers offer a one-time discount or coupon if you sign up for their email list or loyalty program. Signing up is fast, easy and free, and the discounts can be significant (5, 10 or even 15%). We suggest looking for these offers before you head to the U.S. to shop, as some retailers require you to sign up online, print your coupon and redeem it when you go shopping, while others allow you to sign up in-store.
Once you receive your discount, you can always opt out of these programs if you find you are receiving too many unwanted emails.
4. Fill up on Gas in the U.S.
If you are driving to the U.S. to go shopping, we suggest filling up on gas as often as possible south of the border, as gas is usually 20 – 25% cheaper in the U.S. than Canada. If you want to estimate exactly how much you are saving by filling up in the U.S., you can use our Gas Savings Calculator.
5. Time your Shopping Trips Around Sales
While there are still great every day savings to be had in the U.S., Canadians can really hypercharge their cross border savings by timing their shopping trips around sales at U.S. malls, department stores and retailers, which usually offer significantly steeper discounts and greater selections than Canadian sales.
There are many sales to watch for throughout the year (at least 10 - 15 big ones), including:
- National Holiday Sales (Labor Day, Columbus Day. Fourth of July, etc…)
- Seasonal Sales (Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall)
- Event Sales (Black Friday, Back to School Shopping, Christmas, etc…)
- Annual Retailer Sales (a number of U.S. department stores and retailers have big annual or semi annual sales)
6. Look for Coupons and Discounts
Many businesses periodically offer coupons and discounts that can help you stretch your cross border savings even further. And remember, these offers aren’t limited to clothing and electronics , they can also provide savings on hotels, dining, groceries and activities.
Some places to search for coupons and discounts include CrossBorderShopping.ca, mall and retailer websites and newspapers.
7. Shop in Tax Free States
You can save money by shopping in one of the following U.S. states that has no sales tax or offers a sales tax refund program for visitors from outside the United States:
Close to the border, Minnesota has no sales tax on clothing and shoes and Pennsylvania has no sales tax on clothing and shoes (as well as some baby products and toiletries). Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon have no state sales tax and North Dakota has a sales tax refund program for Canadians.
A little further south, Louisiana and Texas both have programs that offer sales tax refunds to visitors from outside the United States for purchases made at select retailers.
8. Shop Online & Ship to the Border
Canadians can get great deals by cross border shopping online with U.S. retailers, where prices and selection are often much better than in Canada. Unfortunately, the cost of shipping to Canada from the U.S., duties and taxes can sometimes negate any cost savings, so make sure to account for all of your costs before you order.
One way to avoid costly international shipping fees is to have your items shipped to a U.S. shipping address just across the border where you can drive to pick them up. There are many U.S. shipping address locations along the border that provide this service, some for as low as $5 - $10. This allows you take advantage of free shipping within the U.S. offered by many retailers.
You can learn more about shipping to the U.S. border here. You can also use our Amazon.com Canada vs. U.S. Price Comparison Tool to compare prices on Amazon’s Canadian and U.S. websites and see where the best online deals are.
9. Reduce Mobile Phone Roaming Charges
Using your mobile phone in the United States can cost you a fortune. We’ve all know the horror stories of travelling to the U.S. only to return home to a massive cell phone bill in the hundreds or even thousands of dollars. To avoid becoming a victim of outrageous mobile roaming charges from your carrier while shopping in the U.S., you can try some of these options:
- Turn your data plan setting to “off while roaming”: While this should help you avoid data usage charges while you are in the U.S., it also means you won’t be able to receive emails, access the internet or use apps that need updating. You also won’t be able to make or receive phone calls or check your voicemail without incurring massive roaming charges
- Use free WiFi while in the U.S.: If you don’t need to make or receive phone calls, you can search for and connect to open WiFi networks while in the U.S. to receive data. Of course, you’ll be limited to accessing data in places where open WiFi networks are available.
- Use Viber, Skype or a similar service for phone calls: These services allow you to make phone calls to other users for free or at a very low cost, but again, you will need an open WiFi connection to use them and you won’t be able to receive incoming calls on your mobile phone number without incurring big data roaming charges from your carrier.
- Get a U.S. SIM card: There are a number of great services that offer U.S. SIM cards for Canadians. These SIM cards give you a U.S. phone number and offer deep discounts on phone calls and data. However, they don’t allow you to use your Canadian phone number and can sometimes be a little confusing to configure the first time.
- Get a mobile roaming package with your cell phone carrier: As a last resort, you can get always get a roaming package from your mobile carrier, although these packages are usually very expensive, inflexible and don’t include much talk time or data.
10. Do your Research in Advance
Advance planning for your cross border shopping trip can save you time and money. Where possible, decide which malls and retailers you want to visit ahead of time and prepare a wish list of the items you want to buy so you can compare prices for these items in the U.S. and Canada before your shopping trip. This will give you an idea of how much you can save, which items are worth purchasing in the U.S. and which items you are better off buying in Canada. | <urn:uuid:c548b781-319a-4acb-8c08-c0af6fe14ed5> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.crossbordershopping.ca/top-10-cross-border-shopping-tips-for-canadians | 2019-07-17T12:43:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.952058 | 2,190 |
How we started
HOW DALIT GOODS Co. BEGAN
In 2010 Life Association launched the Dalit Goods brand to raise awareness of the Dalits' plight and also funds for the charity. The idea for Dalit Goods came about as a result of a trip to India by Life Associations director Simon Hawthorne. Whilst there he began to notice a large number of smashed clay pots around the slum areas of Mumbai. These clay pots turned out to be drinking pots which for thousands of years the Dalit people have often been forced to drink from and then smash on the ground as a sign of their supposed untouchability. It is this powerful symbol of oppression that inspired Simon to launch our range of Dalit branded products.
It is our goal to design and supply ethically sourced and environmentally sensitive products and provide employment to Dalits in India.

Ice Skating at Parker Dam State Park
Conditions permitting, an ice skating area is maintained at the swimming area.
Ice thickness is monitored for safety.
Be Safe on the Ice
- Test ice thickness with an auger before recreating. Four inches of solid ice is the minimum recommended thickness for a single person. Seven inches of solid ice is the minimum recommended thickness for small group.
- Always carry safety equipment and know how to use it.
- Spread out. Crowds can put too much weight onto one area.
- Be aware of changes in ice thickness across a body of water. Perimeter ice is weaker due to shifting, expansion and sunlight reflecting off of the bottom.
- Avoid areas with protruding logs, brush, plants, and docks. These structures absorb heat, weakening the surrounding ice.
- Avoid areas with multiple or intersecting cracks, and standing water over ice.
- Venturing out on ice alone is not advisable. Take a friend along for fun and for safety.
- Wear a PFD (life jacket).
- Check the weather and plan accordingly. Several days with temperatures above freezing will weaken the ice.
A heated restroom is in the day use area.

He admits it’s a little far-fetched.
But in a story similar to the plot of 1993 film Cool Runnings, former-rugby league player Andrew Farrell has a serious goal.
He wants to represent Jamaica at skiing in the 2018 Winter Olympics.
The 46-year-old from Huddersfield, who has Jamaican citizenship, said he was inspired to take up the sport after watching his compatriot’s efforts to qualify for the 2014 event in Sochi.
He said: “ I thought ‘I do not ski too badly myself’ and it just started to spawn from there.”
Farrell is best known for his rugby-playing days with Huddersfield clubs and latterly for his achievements in mixed martial arts.
He coaches the sport in Milnsbridge and has won a number of awards.
But his new passion is on skis and he is a regular at the Xscape indoor ski centre at Castleford.
And even though he doesn’t own his own skis, he has set his sights on a place in the plane to South Korea in three years time.
“I’ve been skiing for about four years and people have said I am pretty good at it. This isn’t a whim: I think I could compete.
“There is a project to allow developing countries to enter the Olympics and I have been in touch with the Jamaican Ski federation to see how feasible it is.
“I specialise in the giant slalom and I have taken part in competitions in France and managed to get within three seconds of the qualifying time. I know that sounds a lot but I believe if I get the backing I can improve dramatically.
“The only way I am going to be able to do that is to find sponsorship and I hope people will like the idea.
“My wife has skied for years and we have taken trips to the Alps. I seem to have the natural balance and rhythm that makes a good skier and people have said I have the technique.
“A lot of people think it’s a joke but I’m deadly serious. I hope I can raise my profile and get the backing I need”.
Farrell is confident that even in his 40s, he can compete. He takes part in martial arts bouts with young men in their 20s and is capable of beating many of them.
Farrell can be contacted via his website.
- Cool Runnings was a film directed by Jon Turtellaub
- It was released in October 1993 to rave reviews
- The film is loosely based on the Jamaican bobsleigh team’s entry into the 1988 Winter Olympics in Canada
- One of the stars was John Candy, who sadly died six months after its release
- It spawned a hit record for Jimmy Cliff with his cover of I Can See Clearly Now | <urn:uuid:df8255a1-36ec-4061-ba92-5ac22164c27d> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/cool-runnings-2-martial-arts-9827958 | 2019-07-17T13:28:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.986392 | 607 |
As the complexity of media buying has grown proportionally to the explosion of available advertising inventory, there’s been a parallel evolution of advertising technology leading to the evolution of the demand-side platform or DSP, writes Mark Grether (pictured below), CEO, Sizmek, exclusively for ExchangeWire.
eMarketer predicts programmatic media spending largely through DSPs could exceed USD$45bn (£31.6bn) by the year 2020.
The DSP evolution evolved over three phases. The first phase saw the introduction of rudimentary DSPs, shifting power from the supply side to the demand side by uncoupling media, data, and decisioning at the impression level.
As programmatic spend topped USD$10bn (£7bn) per year, DSP evolution entered its second phase. Agencies became more adept in selecting different DSPs based on access to specific data and channels such as display, mobile, or video, or campaign objectives such as direct response or branding. As the DSP knowledge curve expanded, agencies began using multiple DSPs at the same time.
As DSP evolution now enters its third phase, there are literally hundreds of DSPs offering pretty much the same access to media, data, and channels – this makes competition for spend more intense than ever. So, how will the next generation of DSPs differentiate themselves? We think the answer is a re-emphasis on the bidding process.
DSP-based bidders generally fall into two different types. There are ‘OEM’ bidders owned by the walled gardens of Amazon, Google, and Facebook. If you want access to one of these channels, you have to use their bidder. OEM bidders also sell a surprising amount of non-exclusive inventory, but there’s concern OEM bidders allocate an inordinate amount of spend to their own media rather than remaining unbiased.
There are also ‘general purpose’ bidders, which ensure access to multiple supply sources and don’t favour any one. Given the many general purpose DSPs, it’s important to know how to spot their sometimes subtle differences. Here are key things to look for, and some questions worth asking, when evaluating a DSP:
Signal capacity & listening ability
Keep in mind the more instructions, also known as ‘signal’, a DSP receives from data sources, the better the models it can build. This ensures you to find more advertising sweet spots. Some questions worth asking include: How many signals is the bidder capable of using in its decisioning process? How complex are its data models? How many bid requests can the DSP ‘listen to’ at one time?
Algorithm types & capabilities
Algorithms come in two basic forms: there are rules-oriented algorithms that enable you to predefine the parameters of a campaign. Additionally, there are objective-oriented algorithms, where you define an overall campaign objective versus specific rules. Ask the DSP provider to explain their algorithm types in plain language, and ask for use case examples.
A key differentiator among bidders is time in the marketplace. The more time a bidder has been in market, the more time its algorithms have had to ‘learn’. Look for a DSP that had sufficient time to train its algorithms on real data, not simulations. Make sure you ask the DSP provider how long they spent learning in-market. Also, ask what the learning data has consisted of.
Data access, capacity & sophistication
How many sources a bidder has access to can make a big difference. Be sure to ask the DSP not only how many data sources their bidder can process, but how it handles multiple data sets, including demographic data such as gender and age; audience data, such as connected devices and device location; audience psychographics, such as intent and purchase propensity; and behavioural data, such as audience interaction preferences.
2018 is likely to be another record-breaking year for programmatic, and the next generation of bidder technology will ensure marketers make better, more data-informed decisions. The key is to know which bidder is best.
As clients continue to demand more accountability from their agencies, agencies, in turn, will expect more choice, transparency, and performance from their ad tech solution providers. In the fierce battle for agency differentiation amidst competition for media spend, choosing the best DSP for your needs and finding that elusive ‘better bidder’ will make a world of difference. | <urn:uuid:ba96147f-70af-4e87-92b0-1fa1395b4fb1> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.exchangewire.com/blog/2018/04/16/the-quest-for-a-better-bidder/ | 2019-07-17T13:09:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.945632 | 933 |

Grey is my favorite color for the home. I love how it creates a perfect canvas for any color you use against it. In our home, we have grey everywhere. Our living room walls are a medium grey, and they look great against the dark wood floors, white paneling, and coffered ceilings. In the bathrooms, the light grey walls are wonderful against all our white windows, our white subbway tiles, white and grey marble floors, and nickel fixtures.
I love grey because it’s such a wonderful neutral. It looks polished and sophisticated day and night. I’m not the only one, either — it’s long been the iconic color for Christian Dior:
Charlotte Moss used it for her chic Townhouse’s pagoda logo, and it is the color of Barbara Barry’s master bathroom at her new house in Beverly Hills (check out the current issue of Town and Country magazine).
So I was over the moon last month when Sferra previewed their new collections of linens with us and there was lots of grey everywhere. As Sferra’s creative director Aaron Stewart recently told us, they are seeing grey as the “new neutral,” and if you look closely, there’s a big trend toward decorating with shades of grey versus shades of tan, as has been the case for many years.
If you are thinking about using grey in your house, here are some great new looks from Sferra:
Simply Celeste, a solid 406 thread count percale available in white, ivory, and grey …
…used with the new MacKenzie twill sheeting …
… and for a bit of contrast, the Sasha bedding:
On top, we love the Bari matelasse coverlet in grey …
… and for softness, the Hayden throw in lamb’s wool:
And last but not least: if you are thinking about painting your rooms gray, I highly recommend reading Benjamin Moore Senior Interior Designer Sonu Mathew’s blog post, “Playful Grays Make Beautiful Neutrals.” In it, she explains how to use grey as a neutral canvas, as an accent, and in specialty finishes, and she gives specific advice for which color grey to use.

AirDrop, one of the most overlooked features of both OS X and iOS, was designed to simplify wireless file sharing between Macs and iOS devices, without having to connect to an existing network or going through the hassle of having to type a password.
AirDrop debuted on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and iOS 7, but the two were not interoperable due to incompatible protocols. Starting with OS X Yosemite and iOS 8, AirDrop works between OS X and iOS more or less like a breeze.
However, AirDrop on Macs requires a modern Wi-Fi chipset, meaning older desktops and notebooks may be unsupported. Here’s how to tell if your Mac meets minimum system requirements for AirDrop.
How to tell if your Mac supports AirDrop using System Information
Step 1: Make sure the Finder is active and choose About This Mac in the Apple menu.
Step 2: A window with a short summary of your Mac’s hardware and software will pop up. Now click the System Report button to launch the System Information application.
Tip: Alternatively, just use Spotlight to search for “System Information” and open it quickly right from your search results, like so.
Step 3: Now click the Wi-Fi entry under the Network section in the lefthand column of System Information. Look for AirDrop under the Interfaces section on the right.
If your Mac’s wireless hardware is compatible with the AirDrop feature, the AirDrop entry will read “supported,“ as show above.
How to tell if your Mac supports AirDrop using Finder
Step 1: Make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop, or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock.
Step 2: Is AirDrop listed as an option in the Finder’s Go menu? If you don’t see AirDrop listed, your Mac’s Wi-Fi chipset does not support the feature.
As the screenshot attests, my mid-2014 13-inch MacBook Air supports AirDrop.
Tip: You can also try pressing the Shift + ⌘ + R combo on your keyboard to open AirDrop, if available, as a window in the Finder.

PALO ALTO — A group of burglars rammed a rented SUV into the floor-to-ceiling glass front of the University Avenue Apple Store early Sunday morning, police said, ransacking the store before dashing away.
Of the eight to 10 burglars, police soon arrested four suspects.
The predawn theft came on the heels of a series of grab-and-go robberies targeting Apple Stores throughout the Bay Area, with speedy thieves snatching iPhones, iPads and other gadgets on display.
“This was a pretty brazen act,” said Palo Alto police Sgt. James Reifschneider said, “when somebody breaks their way into a business after hours and uses a vehicle to force their way into a store.”
Police said they got a report shortly after 4:30 a.m. that a vehicle had crashed into the Apple Store at 340 University Ave, and that witnesses saw several people running from the store.
Responding officers found a gray 2016 Kia Soul on the sidewalk with major damage. A 40-foot tall shattered glass window was still hanging in place, although the vehicle had broken a hole toward the bottom of the panel.
Officers set up a perimeter and found a black Hyundai Sonata parked in a nearby alley, Lane 20 West, near a city parking garage half a block from the Apple Store.
Police found stolen computers and phones in the car and strewn on the ground, Reifschneider said.
Officers arrested Shaquin K. Ferguson, 19, who gave no permanent address; Erica Jaynisha White, 18, of Oakland; and two juveniles, ages 16 and 17, also from Oakland.
Ferguson, who is on parole for weapons violations, and White were arrested on suspicion of burglary, vandalism and conspiracy and booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail. The youths were transported to Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall. They were not identified because they are underage.
None of the suspects has been connected to other Apple Store thefts, police said.
Apple Store surveillance footage showed the burglars crawled into the store through the hole in the glass. All the burglars wore either hooded sweatshirts or pulled-down hats, concealing their features, Reifschneider said.
Apple spokesman Nick Leahy said Apple doesn’t comment on security matters. The store, with windows boarded up, remained closed on Sunday, but Leahy said it would reopen on Monday.
Reifschneider said police are searching for four to six more suspects and still don’t know the value of the items stolen or damaged.
Thieves hit the same Apple Store several times in the past six months, he said, and also burglarized the nearby Apple Store at Stanford Shopping Center. Those thefts didn’t involve crashing a vehicle to gain entry, however; they were similar to robberies targeting Apple stores in San Francisco, Berkeley, Burlingame, Corte Madera and Los Gatos. In all those thefts, fast-moving culprits wearing hooded sweatshirts rushed into the store, grabbed devices, then ran out.
The Palo Alto store has metal posts along the sidewalk as a barrier to street traffic. But the thieves apparently drove onto the sidewalk near adjacent businesses, then turned into the Apple’s glass window.
Police have not issued a description of the burglars. Anyone with information about the burglary may call Palo Alto police dispatch at 650-329-2413. Anonymous tips may be emailed to email@example.com or sent via text message or voicemail to 650-383-8984. | <urn:uuid:9a862e89-5044-492c-9049-f18032835ac0> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/12/04/burglars-crash-car-into-palo-alto-apple-store/?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_source=Twitter&utm_term=Autofeed | 2019-07-17T12:51:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.945044 | 746 |

Social Media and the Marketer's Monkey Sphere
Can you make personal connections at scale? It's the marketing question of our time.
Since blogging and social networks made the Internet the two-way communication medium it is today, Americans have paid less and less attention to mass communication and more and more to personal social bubbles around the things they care about.
Even when the thing they care about is a mass communication phenomenon, like Game of Thrones, their interaction with mass media is only as long as that event (skipping commercials) and then it's back to the bubble to talk about it with their friends.
How do you make them care about you when your marketing is one of the things they're trying to avoid in that bubble?
You need to offer an experience. You need to become one of those things that has personal meaning.
You need to get inside the monkey sphere.
Are You a Brand or a Monkey?
Have you every heard of the Monkey Sphere? Also called Dunbar's Number?
Robin Dunbar was an anthropologist who studied primates. He found that social group size corresponded to the species's brain size. Each species could only handle so many social connections. Beyond that number, the rest of the primates ceased to be seen as discrete individuals. Everyone who didn't fit inside that limited social sphere was just a monkey.
Using the same ratios, Dunbar figured that the average human's personal social sphere — the people who you know by name, know how they connect with the other people in your sphere, and that you have ongoing social relationship with — is limited to about 150 people.
Everyone else is just a monkey.
The thing is, brands are monkeys too. There are the ones you identify with and talk about inside your sphere, and the rest are just monkeys.
The problem with being just a monkey today is when people build their online communities and media bubbles, the monkeys don't get in. And you can't buy your way in with more ads.
The only way to be more than a monkey is to create experiences that make personal connections with the people in your audience.
Can you do that? Can you do it a million individual times?
That's the difference between broadcast media and social media. In the heyday of mass media, people were grateful to gather around the radio or TV and listen to whatever was broadcast. Today, your audience is overwhelmed by media streams, so they only listen to the people and brands who connect personally with them.
Making a personal, emotional connection is your only way inside the monkey sphere. And you need to get inside a million monkey spheres. How do you do it?
In fact, there's another side to the question: How do you keep all of them from becoming just monkeys to you?
Pretty much everything worth doing with marketing technology relies on the idea that you can use all these individuals' preferences, behavior and data to send them more relevant, personalized and effective messaging. The entire world of marketing automation, clouds and social listening tools rely on the idea that you can do that.
You can't possibly expand your personal monkey sphere to encompass all of your customers, but you can't treat them like just monkeys, either.
What Are the Answers?
I honestly don't know. It's a complicated, contradictory issue. But I'll be moderating a webinar on Thursday, "Social Media Marketing That Counts," with Michael Dub from DXagency and Jillian Falconi from Falcon.io, that's a good place to start.
I don' think either of them plan to mention Monkey Spheres, but these questions are at the heart of their presentations: How do you figure out a way to make those personal connections, and apply it at scale, across millions of customer if you need to?
I don't know the answers to those questions, but tune in tomorrow and you'll hear some good ideas on how to approach them. | <urn:uuid:651a5ca8-32dd-49a0-9049-c833cb8590b3> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.targetmarketingmag.com/post/social-media-and-the-marketers-monkey-sphere/ | 2019-07-17T13:42:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.967633 | 803 |

Made this today and it was really tasty, family enjoyed it.
Jan 28, 2012
I have made this recipe twice and both time with rave reviews! I put whole peppercorns in a plastic bag or between pieces of wax paper and crushed with a rolling pin. A lot of work, but worth it. I also rubbed the beef with the mix and let sit in the fridge for several hours. You can't go wrong with tenderloin!
Dec 21, 2010
This was my first time preparing tenderloin and it was for a large crowd. It took forever to grind all the pepper with a hand grinder. Definitely would recommend getting that done ahead of time. I did receive many compliments. Everyone seemed to really enjoy this entree. | <urn:uuid:070430ae-46aa-4fc1-a988-90978ab2b624> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/peppered-beef-tenderloin-roast/ | 2019-07-17T12:35:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.925055 | 388 |

“The message read in full: “I maintain my unwavering support for President Muhammadu Buhari, now and for his re-election in 2019, and for the success of our party, the APC, in Kwara State and across the federation.”
Senator Gbemisola Ruqayyah Saraki, the younger sister to the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki has declared her “unwavering support” for President Muhammadu Buhari.
She also pledged her commitment to the success of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state and across the country in the 2019 elections.
The declaration came immediately after her brother dumped the APC and returned to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a message sent to our correspondent, Gbemisola, who is the Chairman, Governing Council of the Federal University of Otuoke, Bayelsa state, said she would soon galvanize all her supporters and associates to begin a re-election campaign for Buhari.
The message read in full: “I maintain my unwavering support for President Muhammadu Buhari, now and for his re-election in 2019, and for the success of our party, the APC, in Kwara State and across the federation.
“All members of my political organisations including GRS Movement (GRSM); GRS Foundation (GRSF); GRS Friends on Facebook (GRSFOF); Paramount Women Forum (PWF) and GRS Grassroots Youth Movement (GRS-GYM) will begin to implement the first phase of our “Get-Out-The-Vote for PMB and APC.

U.S.-China Negotiation Simulation regarding North Korea
The Model U.S.-China Dialogue (also known as MUCD or the Dialogue), initiated by The China Program of The Carter Center, aims to encourage students to understand, contemplate, and discuss U.S.–China relationships on international affairs, such as cooperation regarding a third country.
The first simulation was tested at Emory University Global China Connection’s annual China Summit in late March. Each of the four different teams of student participants selected two members to represent government officials of either China or the United States; the rest of the team members role-played as South Korean officials as the control group. All of the teams received a confidential briefing outlining the articles which they had to negotiate on; a numerical value was assigned to each article, representing the degree of significance to the other country. The scenario for this model dialogue was one wherein General Choe Ryong-hae takes over the North Korean government after the assassination of supreme leader Kim Jong-un, and reaches out to China and the U.S. asking for assistance in transforming North Korea into a country that embraces/adheres to more international norms. The simulation focused on what China and the United States should do to cooperate and help North Korea’s reform.
The articles of negotiation covered various issues including security, politics, and economic concerns. For example, some of the terms addressed the control of North Korea’s nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. The materials given outlined the leeway on who could control the nuclear weapons, but also strong conflicting interests on who controls the arsenal, given China’s problems of illegal trading. Similarly, while both countries would be interested in taking the dominant role in assisting law enforcement in North Korea, it was assumed that China could better manage military personnel, customs, and trade due to preexisting situations. On the other hand, neither country would be interested in handling refugees. The two would also have opposing interests in terms of reunification talks, since this relates to China’s influence in the region.
Though the student competitors were unfamiliar with the rules and were given little time to prepare, they were able to assume their roles relatively quickly. Within the twenty minutes of negotiation, the teams were to come to an agreement on seven articles—not an easy task. The teams were also given two chances to propose alternative solutions. Thereby students not only took reality into consideration, but also tried to be creative. The teams relied on the information given and also on what they had found through general background research they had performed beforehand.
U.S.–China consensus and cooperation over the Korean Peninsula is realistic as long as both countries are satisfied with the benefits they gain from their involvement and control on North Korea. The negotiation was a “give and take” process in order for both countries to maximize their profits and satisfy their interests, while also keeping South Korea’s potential reactions in mind. Both of the teams from the first round of negotiation received higher scores than the teams in the second round. However, the second round teams proposed a very creative solution and showcased their critical thinking skills along with broad knowledge on international relationships.
Since the two sides were having a hard time deciding how to help North Korea reform, the Emory University team proposed splitting North Korea into two regions; U.S. and China would thus each be in charge of one region. This seemed like an unrealistic idea at first. Nevertheless, it is not completely impractical—the U.S. and the Soviet Union split Germany after World War II. With further discussion and analysis, the U.S. and China may find an efficient way to carry this out. Several judges expressed that they liked the second round of negotiation better, even though their overall outcomes were not as good as the first round, because the teams were able to push the limits of the normal understanding of international affairs and negotiation standards.
The China Summit helped raise awareness and stimulate discussion on U.S.–China relations and international affairs. It also provided a platform for introducing and testing a model U.S.-China negotiation dialogue concept. Many attendees applauded the engaging nature of the negotiations. One of the judges, however, commented that he would not suggest negotiating seven terms in only twenty minutes. Thus, for future reference, the stimulation should allow for deeper discussions by lessening the number of terms and prolonging negotiation time. | <urn:uuid:6422fa6c-5af5-4a31-941b-546806ad2850> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.uscnpm.org/blog/2014/05/01/model-u-s-china-negotiation-dialogue/ | 2019-07-17T12:35:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.969939 | 894 |
Ventura school closes early following water main breaks
A water main break in Ventura on Thursday morning caused Pacific High School to close early, according to school and city water officials. Between 150 and 200 residents, businesses and the school were impacted.
Pacific High, a continuation school at 501 College Drive, sent about 150 students home about an hour early because of the situation, according to school officials. The school typically closes at 12:42 p.m.
The first break was reported around 9 a.m. at College Drive and Cherry Street, during a planned replacement of a water valve, city water officials said. Another valve failed during that work, causing crews to expand the work area to the neighborhood around and including the high school. That impacted the area around College Drive, Mills Road, Maple Street and Redwood Avenue, water officials said.
Water officials said the problems were repaired and the water was fully restored by 2:15 p.m. | <urn:uuid:6b26cb96-78df-4ab0-9aed-530ee7d6a7b2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.vcstar.com/story/news/local/communities/ventura/2018/08/23/ventura-pacific-high-school-closes-early-two-water-main-breaks/1076286002/ | 2019-07-17T12:36:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.981806 | 193 |

I've been teaching Spanish online for 17 years, using Skype and other messengers (Yahoo, MSN, AOL...)
I am the Spanish language editor on Bellaonline.com
I write Spanish articles for the Spanish language magazine Think Spanish (Piensa en español).
I have experience teaching in other online platforms..
My classes depend on every student. Some students ask for grammar explanations, or exercises, or dictations, or practice. Maybe just having a conversation class, where I give suggestions on how to improve their spoken Spanish.
So, if you need any type of help regarding Spanish language, be sure I can help. I cover all levels, and most of my students find my classes helpful and amusing. | <urn:uuid:28810977-a3f5-4e0f-bfff-8b4e74db3021> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.verbalplanet.com/publicviewprofile.asp?tr_id=10009712960&lang=SPA | 2019-07-17T13:28:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.924451 | 261 |
This year’s tax season has been full of changes.
“I think the higher end people made out better,” said Certified Public Accountant Ed Lorah.
There were also some surprises.
“A good fifteen hundred dollars less,” said one woman who did not want to be identified. She says her refund was less than expected. “Oh way less.”
“Middle income did not do so well,” said Lorah who owns a Waterford accounting firm.
He says in his 33 years he’s seen the most changes ever in 2018.
To start with, the new tax code took a little less out of people’s paychecks throughout the year giving them more money in their pocket.
“A little bit more money here on the check every week,” said Trace Chaperon who is staying in Niantic.
There were changes some people liked like a higher standard deduction, higher tax credit for kids, and a drop in the tax rate. But there are no more personal exemptions.
“A family of five with a husband and wife and three kids you lost $20,000 in deductions. Now with a two percent drop in your rates there’s not enough there to make it up,” said Lorah.
Those who didn’t realize they were paying less in taxes throughout the year were surprised by a smaller refund or owing more money to the IRS at tax time.
“If you had husband and wife and they got $50 more in their pocket each week because of the last year changes at the end of the year they’re five thousand dollars difference from what they used to get,” explained Lorah.
But there is a way to offset this difference for next year. On your W-4 form you can add an extra dollar amount to be taken out of each paycheck.
“You can tell them plus $10 a week, plus 15 or 20, whatever you want,” said Lorah. “You don’t have to change any other part of the form.”
If you find this all confusing the CT DRS website lists some organizations offereing free tax help. | <urn:uuid:0fb34da7-f2d4-4a7b-bc28-971383eaffdc> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.wtnh.com/news/lots-of-changes-and-some-surprises-this-tax-season/ | 2019-07-17T12:30:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525187.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717121559-20190717143559-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.982238 | 466 |
It’s no secret that people these days – especially Americans – are stressed out. Whether it’s stress about money, work, romance, health or a combination of multiple factors, it is more important than ever to have a good system in place for mitigating and lowering stress. Even though stress is an inevitable part of life, prolonged periods of stress are not. If you feel stressed out all of the time that is a good indicator that it is time to put some better self-care practices in place. In addition to practicing yoga regularly, you can also lessen stress by practicing yoga nidra.
What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga nidra is basically the art of taking a yogic nap. If you hate working out, that sounds amazing, right? The term “yoga nidra” means “yogic sleep”). The term is referring to the hypnotic stage of consciousness between wakefulness and deep sleep. While it might seem a little silly at first, yoga nidra is actually a wonderful practice for reducing stress (as well as many other physical and psychological conditions) by consciously putting your body into a relaxed yet aware state. Yoga nidra practitioners can do this by listening to someone perform a guided meditation either online or in person.
By following a set of verbal instructions, the listener can enter into a dreamy world with the senses withdrawn but the mind cognizant of the dream state. It is very similar to lucid dreaming. In fact, yoga nidra is the deepest state of relaxation you can get to without losing consciousness and slipping into sleep. Unlike meditation, yoga nidra allows your mind to wander and drift about – it’s actually considered one of the benefits of yoga nidra as it can help you think creatively and identify subconscious factors that might be aiding your stress in everyday life.
What are the Benefits of Yoga Nidra?
Yoga nidra might sound a little woo-woo, but there is actually a proven science behind it. Yoga nidra induces a state of consciousness where the brain is producing four to seven hertz theta waves and one to three hertz delta waves. The theta state is extremely deep states of relaxation where the body enters something like hypnosis – in that state you might experience dream-like visions that you can steer or consciously alter. After all, it is the same state you enter during REM sleep.
You may not think about your own brain waves day to day, but your natural brainwave state (which can be determined by your diet, activity level, genetics, and more) can dramatically alter your quality of life. For example, as discussed in an article by Natural High Life, people with ADHD have slow theta and alpha brain waves and too few gamma waves. This results in lost concentration, depression, and even learning disabilities. Having the optimal level of brain waves can help you process information better, learn easier, and have heightened senses.
Scientists have also done brain scans on people while they practiced yoga nidra, and discovered that yoga nidra actually boosts dopamine by 65%! That is a massive increase in the feel-good brain chemical that makes people feel happier and regulates your mood. Increasing dopamine levels during times of stress can help you get out of a negative thinking pattern and see the gift in the struggle. It might even spur you to think of a solution to the problem that is causing stress in the first place.
Increasing dopamine can also help with the following conditions:
- Low blood pressure
- Low cardiac output
- Reduced perfusion of body organs due to shock, sepsis, and trauma
- Chronic pain (especially back pain)
It Can Be Used As A Treatment For Serious Trauma
If you have suffered a serious trauma in your life, it might take a while to realize how that trauma is still impacting you – even if it happened years ago. When things happen in life, your body will respond in order to protect you. This can mean your diaphragm raises higher, your breathing becomes more shallow, and you might be tense in your chest and shoulders. Author Louise Hay has some wonderful resources on her website that help people identify the symptoms of PTSD.
Thankfully, yoga nidra is a scientifically proven way to reduce the symptoms of PTSD and trauma. In an article by the Boston Globe, author Jan Brogan describes how yoga nidra can be used to treat trauma. According to the article, ” “In 2006, the Department of Defense conducted research at Walter Reed Army Medical Center on the efficacy of yoga nidra on soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with post-traumatic stress disorder. This led to the incorporation of yoga nidra into weekly treatment programs for soldiers in several VA facilities across the country.”
Reduces The Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes
Yoga nidra is also beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes. In addition to lowering your stress levels, it can also help people consciously lower their blood glucose levels without the aid of medication. Believe it or not, this was actually proven by researchers in 2009 in a pretty amazing study. As people all over the world experience weight gain due to increased caloric intake and decreased physical activity, this could be a great resource for helping people manage their symptoms.
Anyone Can Do It, Regardless of Mobility & Athleticism
What’s great about yoga nidra is that anyone can do it. Seniors, children, and even people with chronic illnesses can practice yoga nidra. You don’t even need any yogic experience to get started. All you need is internet connection or a CD player and a comfortable place to lay down. Thankfully, most yoga nidra meditations on YouTube are also free! And, unlike the physical practice of yoga or the mentally challenging practice of meditation, there is no learning curve.
It Is Easy To Incorporate Into Daily Life
Another factor that increases the chances of yoga nidra being an effective tool for stress reduction is how easy it is. You do not need any special equipment to practice yoga nidra, and you also do not need to alter your life to squeeze in time for it. You can simply listen to a yoga nidra meditation while you fall asleep. There are very few other treatments for stress that are that simple!
As an added bonus, yoga nidra can help you get some of the best sleep you have ever had in your life. Not getting enough sleep (or getting sleep that is low quality) can really contribute to feelings of stress and burnout. When you practice yoga nidra, you can fall asleep more quickly and stay asleep for longer, which can increase your immune system and improve the symptoms of mental illnesses like anxiety and depression.
It Can Be A Simpler Doorway Into Meditation
Here’s the thing: meditation is definitely beneficial, but it is also hard. If you are not used to it, meditating can be a total drag and it is a reason that people avoid doing it altogether. When you practice yoga nidra, you can focus on someone else’s voice and it feels like there is less pressure to manage your thoughts. For that reason, yoga nidra can be a wonderful doorway into the meditative state without having to sit like a Buddhist monk. Plus, once you practice yoga nidra a few times, it might be easier and more enjoyable to get into a regular meditation practice.
It Helps You Reach A Non-Judgmental Space
Perhaps the biggest benefit of yoga nidra is that it helps release stressful and judgmental thoughts, and brings the practitioner into their own inner world. In that space, you can learn about yourself and the subconscious beliefs that you hold. Meeting yourself in that space can be life changing! Yoga nidra allows you to release old emotions and explore what your mind, body, and soul need to be more in balance. What a wonderful state to live life in!
How To Practice Yoga Nidra For Stress Relief & Other Health Benefits
As explained above, practicing yoga nidra is fairly straightforward, and you can use as many or as few props as you like. Before practicing yoga nidra, just make sure of a few things:
- Find a place to practice where you feel completely safe. Many people like to practice at home in their bed, but you can also practice on your yoga mat if you prefer.
- You will also be closing your eyes and getting into a vulnerable state so you probably want to practice it in a private place, not on the bus or in an airport.
- Make sure you are warm and comfortable. Feel free to use lots of yoga props to prop up your head or knees. You can also place a sandbag on your torso or heart for an added sense of comfort.
- If you decide to practice at home, you might prefer to practice with earphones on instead of listening to the meditation openly in the room.
Once you are ready to practice yoga nidra, you can tune in to any one of these free recordings on YouTube!

University of Florida engineers focus on the internet of things By Cindy Spence
On Jan. 4, a magnitude 4.4 earthquake hit northern California at 2:39 a.m. Instantly, Fitbit data spiked, as anyone wearing the wristband fitness and sleep tracker was jolted awake.
The spike was largest in Berkeley, the epicenter, and the quake’s impact on San Francisco and San Jose could be mapped according to the sleep data Fitbit collects. (See graph).
Who needs U.S. Geological Survey monitoring stations?
“Fitbit knew there was an earthquake before the U.S. Geological Survey, because in the wee hours of the morning everybody in this region simultaneously woke up,” says University of Florida researcher David Arnold. “And you could tell the severity by location using Fitbit data.
“A year ago nobody would have thought of this,” Arnold says. “But it’s a distributed sensor network in a real-world condition; a fast and powerful demonstration of a new way to use anonymized fitness tracker data.”
Welcome to the internet of things, where the tiny sensor is about to flex its muscle.
Today, the novelty of the internet of things enchants us. It’s cool to check our refrigerator for milk as we stroll the grocery aisles or convenient to take a cellphone picture of a check, the funds magically appearing in our bank account.
But these are small feats, already old news. The growing connection of the physical world to the cyber world is tantamount to an Industrial Revolution, and it’s about to change everything, says John Harris, chair of UF’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Literally everything.
“It’s a scary time,” Harris says. “There is a world of potential, and we will need multidisciplinary teams with help from experts in psychology and law to make real progress.”
Harris says UF is emerging as a leader in assembling teams of researchers to explore the science of the internet of things. The cyber-physical intersection is job one for the newly created Warren B. Nelms Institute for the Connected World and keeping it secure is the mission of the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity Research. In March, a brand-new center, the National Science Foundation Center for Big Learning, with UF as the lead institution, was funded. And, at only three years old, the MIST — the Multi-functional Integrated System Technology — Center is a veteran in technologies that enable the IoT.
Sandip Ray, who came to UF from the semiconductor industry, says UF’s strong suit is an ability to collaborate among disciplines in a research environment that is speeding up and needs to move even faster. Traditionally, he says, hardware is developed and then software follows. Today, hardware and software are co-evolving, and that complicates everything.
“If you need to build the hardware and the software together, how do you do that?” asks Ray, one of four Endowed IoT Term Professors. “How do you validate a software that is supposed to run on a hardware that has not yet been built?”
The advantage of academic research as opposed to industry, he says, is the variety of disciplines that can contribute to a solution.
“There are traditional pillars in electrical engineering and computer science, and we can take the research from all of them to work together to meet the needs of the connected world,” Ray says.
Sensors won’t rule this brave new world alone. They will need connectivity — to each other and the internet — and they will need computing power. It takes all three attributes to make our devices “smart.” Already there are more smart devices in the world than people, and the National Science Foundation forecasts 50 billion smart devices will exist by 2020. Before long, NSF predicts, there will be 1 trillion sensors at large in the internet of things.
Defining the internet of things is tricky. Ask a UF researcher for a definition and you get a grimace or a shake of the head. No one will do it.
Yier Jin, the first hire for the Nelms Institute, says it is too big to define.
“To define it accurately, it literally means everything, and then the definition loses its meaning,” says Jin, an Endowed IoT Term Professor. “That’s why we do the work without arguing about what it is.”
Arnold says it’s like defining an elephant by touch: the definition depends on which part of the elephant you are touching.
“If you go back to 1985 and tell people, ‘There’s this thing coming; it’s called the internet; it’s going to be exciting,’ it would be hard to explain the significance,” Arnold says. “Now you say ‘internet’ and everybody knows what it is. Interestingly, what everybody thought the internet would do in 1985 was allow computers at UF to talk to computers at NASA. It’s so much bigger than that. What is the internet? Now I can sit in my car at a traffic light and do a banking transaction.
“So anyone who looks you in the eye and says this is what IoT is, I wouldn’t believe them. They don’t know; nobody really knows. It’s a very squishy, smushy definition, and that’s the problem.”
What is known is that IoT brings together technologies that mostly were unavailable a decade ago. Sensors have gotten smaller and more powerful, wireless transmission capabilities are commonplace, and the computing power needed to collect data and analyze it is new.
“Before, even if I had sensors that could measure everything on campus, the computing power to make sense of it didn’t exist. What would I even do with all that data? How would I make sense of millions and millions of data points?
“What we are seeing is this convergence of engineering and science, all these pieces coming together at this point in time,” Arnold says.
Mark Tehranipoor, the co-director of the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity Research, recalls a story about a consultant who was asked to evaluate the security of voting machines in Virginia. The consultant broke into the system in 10 seconds. The password was “abcdef.”
There’s no substitute for vigilance — or a good password — in cyberspace.
Tehranipoor says educating users would eliminate some problems. Other problems will require more of the kind of work done at the institute.
“Attacks are getting more and more sophisticated every minute,” says Tehranipoor. “Roughly every minute, there are about 1,000 new malwares generated.”
If you think you have issues with suspicious emails, consider UF. Tehranipoor says UF received 70 million to 80 million emails last year. Of those, about 64 million were phishing emails, and most of those attacks were from bots, surfing the internet, waiting for someone to click on an email that seems innocent but isn’t.
Once a bot penetrates your computer with a worm or a virus, it is in control. It can lurk for a while, monitoring your activity, spying on your bank accounts and passwords, then encrypting your files. One common attack is ransomware, an area Tehranipoor predicts will grow, in which your device or your data is held hostage until you pay up.
That’s what happened to the city of Atlanta in March, when ransomware locked up all of the city’s major computing systems.
On a more personal level, a bot that detects that you are on vacation could open your garage door and turn off your alarm system, then blackmail you until you pay up.
Bots can also lock you out of your laptop, restoring access for a fee. This could be an easier fix, Tehranipoor says, if you are following good cyber hygiene, backing up your system daily. Then the threat is empty. You simply reformat your computer and use your backup to retrieve your data.
If you are prone to clicking “try later” when your operating system reminds you to update, Tehranipoor says, break that habit now.
“You should accept the update,” Tehranipoor says. “You don’t know exactly what they’re updating, but I assure you, more often than not, they are trying to patch vulnerabilities.”
Part of the issue with security of IoT devices is providing the power to perform security functions on top of the computational functions for which a device is designed. Providing that level of security requires about 20 to 30 percent more power, and more power means the device will be more expensive, or less convenient, especially for battery-powered smart mobile devices. For example, adding security to a pacemaker would make the battery discharge more quickly. Would a patient choose security if it meant undergoing surgery in two years to replace the battery, or convenience, and delaying surgery for four years?
“Most IoT devices have enough power to connect and send data, but not enough power to run complex security algorithms,” Tehranipoor says.
If you have 20 devices connected to the internet, it only takes one with weak security for all of them to be compromised. Still, staying off the internet is not an option. The internet of things will not be avoidable, says Tehranipoor.
“There is great potential for great disruption,” Tehranipoor says. “Anything connected to the internet inherently becomes insecure.”
While Tehranipoor and other researchers work on the security of hardware, software and networks, he says three pieces of advice could help almost any user of a smart device: don’t click on an email if you don’t recognize the sender; create a strong password; and avoid connecting to unsecured Wi-Fi.
Ray says it makes sense that in the burgeoning world of connected devices, even a small percentage of bad actors can cause significant harm.
“If there are billions of devices connected to the internet, then there are probably millions of devices that are malicious,” says Ray. “So every device has to work in this environment.”
Black Hats, White Hats
Ray and Jin are a team of sorts when it comes to hacking smart devices, an offense vs. defense approach.
“I am the blue team to Yier’s red team,” Ray says. “His job is to find the vulnerabilities, and my job is to make a system secure so he cannot attack me.”
That’s a tall order, considering that Jin is known for his ability to crack the security systems of common IoT devices, including the Nest thermostat.
Much has changed since Jin and a team of students hacked a Nest thermostat in 2014. One of his students said his grandmother had just received one as a gift. The team bought one and went to work, testing the device to see what would happen. They noticed some vulnerabilities and suggested a fix to the company, which snubbed them.
“I thought, ‘Maybe we should put on our black hat, and see what the issue is,’” Jin says.
The hack — officially called penetration testing — was successful, and the team published their research in a journal. The reaction from Nest was immediate.
Today, companies are more receptive to learning about vulnerabilities in their devices, says Jin, who has catalogued the security flaws in a variety of commercial IoT devices in addition to the Nest.
“We feel it’s our duty, and we are happy that people eventually do take security seriously,” says Jin, who has a Nest thermostat in his own home.
Ray worked at NXP Semiconductors on technology for the vehicles of the future and says one challenge is that traditional approaches to security don’t work for technologies that enable self-driving vehicles. For example, if you are surfing the internet and your computer detects a suspicious website, it prevents you from accessing it.
“But think about a car going 70 mph that gets a communication about something suspicious,” Ray says. “You cannot just stop the car. When you have real-time requirements, you must address the situation much more gracefully.”
The road to fully autonomous cars is complicated. Today is level 2, he says, with some automation, for example, taking our foot off the gas pedal for cruise control. The driver, however, is responsible, and must be alert. At level 3, the car gains more responsibility, perhaps steering itself, and humans can remove their hands. At level 4, humans can take their eyes off the road, and at level 5, take their minds off the road.
Another challenge is that we don’t change cars the way we change smartphones.
“It’s not like we can take all the current vehicles off the road and replace them with autonomous vehicles,” Ray says. “So there will be a combination of the cyber world and physical world. When an automatic car is driving, you cannot assume the other cars have the same level of automation.”
Still, for the sake of road safety, automated driving is a worthy goal, Ray says. About 94 percent of accidents today are because of human error. Other philosophical issues also will need to be addressed, Ray says, such as how a car should perform in certain situations.
“Suppose the car has one passenger, a driver, and suddenly it senses a whole bunch of children crossing the road. Does it veer off the road and kill the driver or does it drive into the children?” Ray says. “What is the car supposed to do?
“Humans don’t have to decide because humans don’t react quickly enough,” Ray says.
Harris, who has just taught his teenagers how to drive, says he believes they will not need to teach their own children to drive.
Ray sees rich research opportunities.
“This is an area we know is critical, we know we don’t have the science for it, and we know we need it very, very quickly,” Ray says. “There is nothing more exciting. As a scientist, we thrive on uncertainty. Is it scary? Yes, it is very, very scary, but it’s good to do something that scares you. As a researcher, that’s a good maxim.”
Billions to Trillions
The NSF prediction that we are mere years away from unleashing a trillion sensors on the world has spawned an annual meeting called the Trillion Sensor Summit, at which UF’s Toshi Nishida has presented. The question is more than theoretical.
As data proliferates, zipping into cyberspace for interpretation, then back to the physical world in the form of information we can use, the humble sensor will take center stage. Already we can implant and swallow sensors, sensors on our infrastructure can tell us the condition of roads and bridges, and newer home appliances can sense our environment.
We may need a trillion sensors to make sense of this new world, scientists say. By one measure, humans create as much information every two days as they created from the time of cave paintings to 2003.
“When we talk about sensor networks with trillions of data connection points, those are giant numbers,” says Arnold. “How would we even manufacture a trillion devices? How do we crunch the data?
“To unleash the full potential of the IoT, it’s not like one professor or one team of professors could do this,” Arnold says. “The real power is putting out extraordinary numbers of sensors in real-world situations and then seeing what happens.”

Games are the funniest means of all today. Games have now become the craze of youths due to the advancement of multiplayer ability. Mobile games like PUBG, Fortnite are not limited to a single user. They can be played by several players at the same time. These games are featured with the Voice Chat option.
Many times, due to some technical issues, Voice chat feature stops working. Therefore, gamers have to exit from the game as they don’t have another way. The problem is usually faced in Discord. Due to some faults in Discord, gamers can’t hear anyone on Discord. In fact, other people can hear you but you’ll not be able to hear someone else due to the problem in Discord. If you are also the one who is facing some kind of issue, you have reached the best place. Once you carefully go through the article, you will know how to fix “Can’t Hear People on Discord”.
Working Solutions to Fix “Can’t Hear People on Discord”
However, there is no specific cause to occur in this issue. But many times problems are faced due to corrupted Discord. So the first and primary need is to update the discord. If you are using outdated Voice Changer Application, this may also the root cause. Improper audio settings can interrupt the voice search interface due to which you can’t hear someone. But you can clearly see the green circle indicating that someone in your voice chat room. This usually creates a frustrating moment.
But you don’t need to worry now. This time we are here with the best troubleshooting steps to fix “Discord can’t hear Anyone”. Let’s start one by one —
Set Default Playback Device
If you have already defined the default discord configuration, it will use this setting as a default input/output playback device. In other words, if you select the wrong device, you wouldn’t be able to hear gamers playing within your network. On account of the interruption of third-party software, Windows OS becomes unable to select newly connected default device. Below are steps for how to accurately set the default playback device manually
Move to Control Panel and Click on the option “Hardware and Sound”.
Now click the Sound Option.
You will see the Sound window there. Now from the playback tab search for the connected headphone device
Right click on the connected headphone device and choose the option “Set as default device” from the dropdown menu. If you have an inbuilt microphone with headphone, you can select it as “Default communication device.
That’s it. You have done all. Check whether you have resolved your problem. If not, you can proceed further to the next troubleshoot as the problem is not with Discord.
Update Output Device
Updating the output device is the most common and easiest way. Input and Output devices are embedded with the Discord voice settings. The mic is the input device that enables gamers to be heard by other people. But in the case, you can’t hear other gamers the problem is obviously on the Output devices. if you are facing the issue “can’t hear people on Discord”, this may go away just by the selection of accurate output devices as default. For instance, you have set a computer speaker as your default output device, you can hear other people. But if you remove headphone or earphone, you will not audible to others. Here you can follow some easiest steps to update your default output device
Move to your Discord Application in Windows OS and Click on “User Settings” at the right side of your profile name.

Jigsaw… the next Freddy???
Freddy had a brief mention in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly (issue: #880/881, page 18). EW (while promoting the SAW series) states the following about the SAW killer Jigsaw: ” Jigsaw, the film’s villian, has the potential to become this decade’s Freddy Krueger. Let’s just hope execs are Lionsgate learn from Krueger’s ill-advised foray into 3-D”.
Jason also had a brief mention under the series’ that are “Falling”: “Jason’s already gone to hell and to outer space. Why can’t he just go away?” | <urn:uuid:d84ea4fc-ea2f-41ba-8097-5fd2e508f40d> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com/site/jigsaw-the-next-freddy/ | 2019-07-18T17:50:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.918732 | 160 |
Bonnaroo Artist | Woods
Bonnaroo History | Newbie
Stage & Time | TBA
As we’ve been doing for the past several years now, we’re making it our mission to help you get acquainted with as many bands as we can from Bonnaroo‘s impressive 2015 lineup. We’ll start from the bottom and work our way up, paying special attention to the smaller and lesser known acts on this year’s bill. Keep reading for your Bonnaroo Band of the Day…
Brooklyn-based folk popsters Woods may be some of the hardest working musicians in the indie sphere. They front their own label, Woodsist, which is/has been home to releases from a number of rising stars (Kevin Morby, Kurt Vile, Waaves, Vivian Girls, Real Estate – to name just a few), and also host their own expanding little festival in Big Sur, California.
Woods have been releasing music since 2005 (a prolific eight albums to be exact), but really burst into the national spotlight with their well received 2009 release Songs Of Shame. This album featured more experimentation in the folk pop arena with an almost dreamlike ethereal reverberation that coats the album. They most recently released With Light And Love in 2014, which features a more polished, less experimental, poppy effort, and is likely more easily digested by first time listeners. Have a listen to the single “Born To Lose” from 2009 below, and then check out “Moving To The Left” from 2014 to hear the evolution of the band.

The University of Oregon administration has been bargaining a union contract with the UO faculty’s AAUP/AFT affiliate local since November. I regularly blog about the bargaining sessions. In February the University of Oregon’s administrative bargaining team wrote an unsigned “Open Letter” to the UO community, saying:
“We write this letter to our University community because we believe it is both necessary and appropriate to inform you of circumstances that are significantly impeding the on-going bargaining between the University and United Academics—the continued reporting of biased, erroneous and inflammatory reports from the bargaining table by Professor Bill Harbaugh on his blog, UO Matters, and Mr. Harbaugh’s insertion of himself into the bargaining process by filing repeated public records requests for information directly related to bargaining. We have raised this concern privately with the UA bargaining team several times, and the response each time is the same: what Mr. Harbaugh reports regarding bargaining is not our responsibility and there’s nothing we will do about it. Given the Union’s unwillingness or inability to address this matter, we have decided to bring it directly to the University community’s attention. …”
The administration’s bargaining team is led by the University’s General Counsel Randy Geller, and includes Senior VP for Academic Affairs Doug Blandy, Journalism Dean Tim Gleason, VPAA Barbara Altmann, and hired attorneys Sharon Rudnick and Kate Grado, from the HLGR law firm.
I thought this letter was more embarrassing to its authors than to me – although a few colleagues thought it was defamatory and professionally damaging. I mostly ignored it except for a letter to university President Mike Gottfredson asking him to disown it, which he did not respond to.
Then the administration rejected the union’s free speech and academic freedom proposals, countering them with restrictions that would give university administrators the ability to discipline faculty for criticism of the administration, which I frequently engage in.
At that point I made a public records request to get information about the authors of the letter and how it came about that Mr. Geller, an attorney, would approve putting such a thing on university letterhead and posting it on an official university website.
To add to the absurdity, President Gottfredson’s Public Records Office, which is supervised by his Special Assistant Dave Hubin, replied by saying that I would have to pay $225 to see those documents:
The University of Oregon has received your public records request for “any emails, letters, or memos sent to, cced on, or received by UO General Counsel Randy Geller, regarding the 2/28/2013 open letter from the UO administration’s faculty union bargaining team to UO Economics Professor William T. Harbaugh…”, on 08/20/2013, attached. The office has at least some documents responsive to your request. By this email, the office is providing you with an estimate to respond to your requests.
The office estimates the actual cost of responding to your request to be $225.56.
The letter, and my unanswered reply to President Gottfredson are below:
From: Bill Harbaugh
Subject: your Feb 28 open letter about Professor Bill Harbaugh
Date: April 12, 2013 6:22:40 PM PDT
To: Sharon Rudnick , Randy Geller
Cc: James Bean , doug park , Barbara Altmann , Timothy Gleason , Doug Blandy , email@example.com, William F GARY , firstname.lastname@example.org, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.org, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.org, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.org, Bruce Blonigen , “email@example.com Coltrane” , President Gottfredson

Dear Ms Rudnick and Mr. Geller:
I’m writing you in regard to the Feb 28 “Open letter from the UO Bargaining Team” which is attached, and which is posted on the official University of Oregon website for faculty contract negotiations, at http://uo-ua.uoregon.edu/fact-check/
A colleague came across this website a week or so after the letter had apparently been posted, and alerted me to it. I thought it was pretty hilarious, particularly in its discussion of the UO Matters blog at http://uomatters.com, which I edit, and in regard to the claims that I am “indelibly associated” with the faculty union.
In truth I fought long and hard against faculty unionization. I signed the membership card only at the end, because I wanted to be on the winning side, where I could make a difference. I have made it very clear on my blog and in conversations with many UO administrators that I am still quite skeptical of faculty unions and that my ultimate loyalty is to the University of Oregon and to the principle of public education for which it stands. I regularly tell the union organizers I will turn on the union the moment it starts doing more harm than good to this principle, and I’m pretty sure they believe me.
But I digress. Many UO faculty have now told me that I should be outraged by your letter, that it is harmful to my professional reputation, and even that it constitutes “defamation per se”, whatever that means.
While I’m no lawyer, on closer reading I think they may have a point. The letter is on UO letterhead, is posted on an official UO website, is addressed to my academic colleagues in my university community, and it even uses my professional title:
“We write this letter to our University community because we believe it is both necessary and appropriate to inform you of … the continued reporting of biased, erroneous and inflammatory reports from the bargaining table by Professor Bill Harbaugh …”
The letter and the website also make some damaging accusations about my actions and intentions, stating them as if they were facts. I note in particular the statement that my blog is “consistently anti-university”, and “He has also filed frivolous and repeated records requests for information directly related to bargaining.” I’m thinking maybe that was supposed to say “not directly related to bargaining” but regardless, I am not the sort of person who takes accusations of frivolity lightly, even confused ones. Economics is a serious subject, and no potential employer would want to hire a professor with a reputation for joking around.
However the strangest part of this open letter is that a group of UO administrators and attorneys would write something like this, put it on official UO letterhead, post it on an official UO website, and then not sign their names to it.
So, I am writing to ask Ms Rudnick, who is apparently the leader of this team, or perhaps more appropriately Mr. Geller, her immediate supervisor at UO, to send me the names of the people on the “UO Bargaining Team”.
I’m ccing all the people I’ve been able to identify as potential members of the UO Bargaining Team, from the website, the HLGR invoices, and a few other sources. I’ve also cced my department chair, CAS Dean Coltrane, President Gottfredson, OUS Chancellor Rose, OUS General Counsel Ryan Hagemann, current UO Senate President Kyr and incoming Senate President Paris.
I’d appreciate a prompt response, listing the names of the people on the UO Bargaining Team. If any of the team members want to disavow the letter, I’d appreciate it this would be posted on the website where the letter appears. Feel free to also post this letter if you’d like, and let me know if you’d like a signed copy on UO economics department letterhead.

10/20/13 update: The administration’s fact-check website about the faculty union negotiations cost the academic budget about $250,000. It was unceremoniously taken down a week or two ago, and has now been quietly replaced by a new, partially sanitized site at http://uo-cba.uoregon.edu/. The new site keeps some of the old fact-check stuff, such as
Claim: UO Matters blogger Bill Harbaugh is also acting as an economic consultant for United Academics. Tuesday, when the UA bargaining team left the table to caucus, he went with the team. But that doesn’t mean he can get his numbers right.
but it removes the “open letter” from the administration’s bargaining team that accused me of being “consistently anti-university” and “indelibly associated with United Academics”. It also removes all links to that letter. It’s as if Rudnick and Geller never wrote it. (I’ve got an archive of the entire old site, let me know if you want the files.)
Under the resources tab, the administration’s site provides a helpful (if it weren’t broken) link to an Inside Higher Ed story that vaguely supports VPFA Jamie Moffitt’s arguments for increasing UO’s reserves, but I can’t find any mention of the more critical Inside Higher Ed story reporting on President Gottfredson’s efforts to limit academic freedom and freedom of speech. I’m happy to provide both: Budget story here, academic freedom story here, more on that issue and links to other stories here. | <urn:uuid:217cd8d6-3d8e-408c-a7ea-afe105f1b670> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://uomatters.com/2013/10/fact-check-names-to-cost-28598.html | 2019-07-18T18:11:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.947823 | 2,107 |
Finished the second day of my two part class on Relief Carving at Rockler this weekend. Of the two people I had signed up, I had one no-show (she had to work apparently) so I spent some quality time with the other guy. This session we covered carving some S-Scroll pattern on some Alder. The wood was much better for the class, and I think I’m going to use it more frequently in teaching and in personal. The rack of wood up front had some other woods, but this was best straight grain stuff I could find.
I also have some news! I will be teaching two more carving classes at Rockler this year, in addition to the high likelihood of doing some demos as well.
Based on the Medieval Rose panels I did for my mothers box, I’m going to do a single day session on how to carve this rose motif. I used the words “Tudor Rose” since I figure that they would be more commonly known by that name.
Class Name: Carve a Tudor Rose by Hand
Date: May 15th, 2014 9:30 – 3:30
Learn to carve this stylized rose from history that is often called a “Tudor Rose”. The class will start with the basics and take your through each step to carve your own decorative rose. This project will show you all the elements of relief carving and makes a great display piece on its own.
I’ll also be doing a class on Basic Letter Carving by Hand in the fall as well, it’s currently scheduled for August. Neither one is listed yet, but the Rose class will be up there soon as I’ve sent in the final details
Follow up on the Demo
The demo that I did back a month ago for the Northwest Woodworkers Association published their meeting notes for that meeting, with a really nice write up about the demo I gave. I’m not a huge fan of talking about my self, and self promotion but I think this article covers things pretty well.

Our conversation started with, "You know, if you have a bunch of these to mail, you can save a dollar on each of them if the address windows are landscape instead of portrait."
I ventured out to mail my tax documents to my accountant, and due to the hour, found myself at a grocery store with a postal substation. Yes, he's in the same city, and yes, I'm using the postal service instead of dropping them off. Time, space, speed limits, and laws of physics make it hard to do it otherwise.
I explained to the clerk that this is really the only one, and it's just once a year when I have to worry about it. To me, it's a sort of convenience tax. But, I thanked him for telling me since I might need to know that later for something.
I found myself at that particular location because the store one closer to me doesn't have a postal meter where I can pay for postage. If metaphysics is your bag, this story might make your chakras tingle.
I rarely carry cash, so in order to pay for my transaction, I ran my debit card. As my information popped up on the screen for Benjamin, my clerk, to confirm, he paused, looked like he was deciding on whether to say something, and jumped right in.
[Conversation from memory.]
"You wouldn't happen to be Jewish, would you? Your last name. . ."
I pause, not knowing how to answer. My claim to Judaism has always been tenuous, and the reasons have changed over the years, But, he took the risk to ask, I figured it only fair to be honest.
"Kinda. I have an uncertain path to Judaism. I was adopted into a Jewish home, and raised a reform Jew. I believe it means Torah scribe." (Truth be told, I was Jewish so far as it would get me a day out of school for services, and my folks could sometimes physically drag me to Hebrew school. We frequently put bacon and schmear on our bagels, and I became the woman I am today thanks to cheeseburgers.)
Benjamin was perhaps the third person to have ever picked up on my name being ethnic who's said anything about it to me, and I told him that. It's a pleasant surprise to meet someone with an interest in names.
We shared a few stories, and quickly learned that we are polar opposite black sheep. I came to Judaism through adoption. He converted, only to later discover he was ethnically Jewish. He has traveled to Israel, learned to speak Hebrew, and sought a family in the synagogue. I rebelled against bullies and dreaded every moment I spent at Temple Israel. In the end though, the results were the same. Both of us lost our tribe. Where I had walked away having never looked back, he had been unceremoniously dumped by the local community and left to wonder why.
We talked about living in our flyover city, our options, and our identities. What struck me about him as completely awesome was that he made no bones about how he wanted to meet a nice Jewish boy and settle down. He hesitated about asking my religion, but his identity and self perception never faltered, and he offered not a single apology for himself. I may be boisterous, but I am not this comfortable in my own skin. I could take a lesson from Benjamin, and I'm humbled to have the opportunity and ability to listen to the universe.
I will be forever thankful for the odd moments in life, the strangely meaningful conversations with strangers, and the ability to find a lesson in something as mundane as mailing tax forms. Great to meet you Benjamin!

“Inferno’s” protagonist is Mark Elliot (Leigh McCloskey) although it is difficult to tell since about half the film focuses on his sister Rose (Irene Miracle, looking a lot like a young Sarah Michelle Gellar if you squint your eyes) and girlfriend Sara (Eleonora Giorgi). The trio become involved with the last known work of Italian architect Varelli, who built three haunting abodes for a set of primal witches (“Suspira” centers on the oldest witch).
The music is composed by Keith Emerson, who later did some of his best work for Michele Soavi’s “The Church” (1989). The heavy use of synthesizers on various original and classical arrangements has me a bit torn. Some tracks impress by virtue of the sheer attention-grabbing weirdness, but others feel out of place. Since Mark is a musicology major, a great deal of classical orchestral music is used and these tend to fit better. Unfortunately, some are played so loud as to disrupt the atmosphere and unbalance the overall sound design.
