A young carer is someone aged under 18 who helps care for a parent or family member with a long term illness, disability (including autism), mental health issue or substance abuse problem.
This covers both the physical and emotional factors involved in caring, therefore your child may qualify as a young carer without actually partaking in any physical acts of caring. There are over 10,000 young carers in Kent and research suggests that there could be an additional 30, 000 yet to be identified.
Support offered in School for Young Carers
If additional support is requested, we also refer to outside agencies, such as the school nurse team and early help services.
More Park have strong links with Kent Young Carers who come to visit the children in school and invite them to the services they provide, (see link to web page below).
If you think your child may be a young carer please email Mrs Symington or Miss Cole for more information, or have a look at the Kent Young Carers web page. | <urn:uuid:cb890f08-dbba-4b95-b72b-c752306aa6f2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.moreparkprimary.co.uk/young-carers/ | 2019-07-18T17:41:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.97057 | 206 |

China VAST Reports Significant Business Growth In 2018 H1 Net Profit Increased by 57.4% YOY
China VAST Industrial Urban Development Company Limited ("China VAST" or the "Company", stock code: 6166; together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") reported that its revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2018 (the "Period") amounted to RMB2,463,841,000, representing a year-on-year increase of 76.1 per cent. The Group's profit for the Period amounted to RMB775,655,000, representing a year-on-year increase of 57.4 per cent. Basic earnings per share were RMB0.47 (2017: RMB 0.30).
During the Period under review, the Group's gross profit surged by 58.8 per cent year-on-year to RMB1,464,605,000, with a gross profit margin of 59.4 per cent.
During the Period, the land development business of China VAST generated a revenue of RMB1,345,600,000, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.6 per cent and accounting for 54.6 per cent of the Group's total revenue. The revenue from the Group's sales of properties for the Period amounted to RMB1,096,961,000, representing a year-on-year increase of 1029.2 per cent and accounting for 44.5 per cent of the total revenue. As to the Group's property leasing business, the revenue for the Period amounted to RMB21,280,000, representing a year-on-year increase of 37.1 per cent and 0.9 per cent of total revenue. During the Period under review, the increase in the Group's total revenue was mainly due to the delivery upon the completion of a property project for sale.
During the Period, the Group collaborated with local governments on the development of industrial town projects. At present, the Group currently provides planning, development and/or operation services in 10 industrial town projects located in Langfang City of Hebei Province, Zhangjiakou City of Hebei Province, Shijiazhuang City of Hebei Province, Chuzhou City of Anhui Province and Ezhou City of Hubei Province. The 10 industrial town projects include Longhe Park, Shijiazhuang General Aviation Industrial Town Park, Shijiazhuang Gaocheng VAST Industrial Town Park and VAST Ezhou Industrial Park. After over 10 years of development, Longhe Park is progressing towards its maturity in a fast development stage. The remaining nine projects are in the early stage of planning and development. However, with the improvement and betterment of the terms of cooperation agreements signed between China VAST and local governments, some of the cooperation agreements enable the Group to record revenue in the early stage of development, thus providing support for development projects on a rolling basis. During the Period, there were already four industrial town projects recording revenue.
During the Period, the Group obtained revenue from land sold by the local government and from land development projects in Longhe Park in Langfang City. In addition, the Group also obtained revenue from land development projects in other parks, including Shijiazhuang General Aviation Industrial Town Park, Shijiazhuang Gaocheng VAST Industrial Town Park, and VAST Ezhou Industrial Park.
Wang Jianjun, the chairman of the Group, said: "In respect of the Group's industrial town project development, the Group will focus on the development of Longhe Park and the foundation works of projects in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region during the second half of 2018. The Group is confident in completing the development plan for the full year and revenue target as set out by the Company at the beginning of the year. In respect of property development, the Group intends to commence the construction of Foxconn City Phase III during the second half of 2018. Revenue from sales of properties in the second half of 2018 is expected to be derived mainly from the sales carried forward from Foxconn City Phase II."About China Vast Founded in 1995, China VAST Industrial Urban Development Company Limited is a pioneer in developing new industrial towns and implementing industrial park PPP model in China. Became listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited in 2014 (stock code: 6166), the Company is a comprehensive industrial town developer, with a key emphasis on industrial upgrading, park operation and infrastructure investment.

It’s a magic that sparks the need to relax, reflect, renew and cozy up with those you love.
The result: a secluded, fifteen-acre resort that brings you closer to everything.
Especially each other.

CONSUMER PRODUCT REVIEWS: What Are People Saying About Our Products?
How you feel is important to us and we love to hear feedback from our customers about our products and service! Here is what some of you shared with us…
“I use three of the Rocky Mountain Botanicals products on a regular basis, and all are fantastic. Their natural deodorant works better than any other, and is extremely gentle for my sensitive skin. A tiny amount lasts all day! The Radiance Healthy Aging Moisturizer is very gentle and light, and keeps my skin smooth and soft. And for aches and pains, the Arnica Relief Cream truly DOES work, as well as having the most wonderful, soothing fragrance. Very happy with all three products!”
– Jen Dickson, North Vancouver, Canada.
ARNICA EXTREME RELIEF CREAM
“As someone who suffers from chronic pain and fibromyalgia, there is not a lot that alleviates the constant discomfort and pains I experience on a daily basis. I have tried a lot of creams and I finally found one that works! Rocky Mountain Botanicals Arnica Extreme Relief Cream with MSM helps me feel so much better.
I can’t believe how good it makes my body feel! I get very sore, weak and exhausted, especially in my legs. If I put the cream on my legs they revitalize them and take away the pain. I can feel my circulation moving better. It’s like a miracle cream! Because I have so many places with pain I wish I could buy a giant tub and soak in it! It is hands down the most efficient pain relieving cream I have ever tried, and I have tried A LOT! If you suffer from any pain, discomfort, nerve pain, weakness, etc, I highly recommend it!”
“I absolutely LOVE the Arnica Extreme Relief Cream! I use it with my patients daily and each time the result is a satisfied patient who would then like to purchase some for their use at home. It is remarkably effective and it smells great too! Fabulous product. Thank you!”
– Maria Laslop, Registered Nurse, Registered Acupuncturist, Registered Chinese Herbalist, Owner of Urban Lotus Acupuncture & Herbs, Victoria, Canada.
“After my accident 9 years ago where I received several surgeries; two on my hip, shoulder, knee and elbow, I have relied on prescription meds. I have used a few prescription creams and none of them have ever given me the same pain relief as the Arnica Extreme Relief Cream. It has honestly been a God send.”
– Elle Haydu, Maple Ridge, Canada.
“My name is Karen and I run Karen McLellan Acupuncture in Victoria BC. I use various products on myself and my patients and have recently been turned on to your Arnica Extreme Relief Cream by the acupuncturist that I go to. I LOVE this product and have had incredible success with it. I was just in a softball tournament on the weekend in which I played 6 games in two days and had many injuries occur to which I put this cream on very regularly in between the games. It made it possible for me to go on and continue playing the games (yes, I should not have ha ha) for the rest of the weekend and has allowed me to function in my job with quite an injured hand. It has cut the bruising time down dramatically and increased the healing rate well. I also used it on a number of my teammates who all really liked the product and asked where they can get some. Thank you for a great product experience!”
– Karen McLellan, Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac.) DTCM Victoria, Canada
“I suffer with osteo-arthritis in my knees and lower back. Also, I am allergic to anti-inflammatories and therefore have been looking for an alternative remedy. I have found it in the Arnica Extreme Relief Cream. I put it on in the morning to start my day and then in the evening so I sleep well at night. It has given me more relief than any oral medication. My daughter who introduced me to Rocky Mountain Botanicals uses it for her frozen shoulder and has great results with it. The Arnica Extreme Relief Cream has become a household staple. Between her and I we are never without it! Really Works!”
– JoAnn Trask, Airdrie, Canada.
“I am a Registered Massage Therapist and in my profession tendonitis is quite a common occurrence. A few years back I was suffering from Golfers elbow. This was during a busy time at the clinic and my elbow was becoming increasingly painful. When over the counter topical solutions were not helping with the discomfort I saw my Doctor. He gave me a prescription strength topical anti- inflammatory ointment which I found not to be very effective.
A colleague who I was working with at the time suggested Arnica Extreme Relief Cream. She advised me it was natural, gentle on the skin, had quite a pleasant odour and was made in BC. I would like to add to her recommendation it was soothing and quite effective in managing the burning pain associated with my tendonitis. Which assisted in resolving my tendonitis.
Since that time, I have been using Arnica Extreme Relief Cream and selling it in my clinic. My clientele advise me that it is quite beneficial for their painful Arthritic joints. Many of my geriatric clientele who are on heart medication and can no longer take aspirin find relief by using Arnica Extreme Relief Cream as well.”
– Franz F. Sutter, Registered Massage Therapist, Vancouver, Canada
“Hello, my name is Nathan and at the end of 2011 I had to go thru a total right hip replacement. As well as my hip, I also had some trauma with my knee that started to hurt quite severely fall of 2012. I didn’t want to rely on prescription pain killers as I need to be alert at work so I looked for an alternative solution. I tried Rocky Mountain Botanicals Arnica Extreme Relief Cream, applying before work and here and there throughout the day. I noticed that within 24 hrs the pain lessened to the point where I could walk without limping. Amazing! Gets me thru the day alert and drug free. I recommend it to my co-workers who also experience general aches, pains and strains that are common in our line of work. I love it!”
– Nathan Ecker, New Home Warranty Tradesman/Finisher, Vancouver, Canada
“My name is Brad. I am a 36 year old male who suffered a major accident. In total, I severed six tendons, two nerves and an artery. After I had healed up a bit, I discovered Rocky Mountain Botanicals Arnica Extreme Relief Cream and MSM Body Boost. Well, let me tell you that they are both incredible products and THEY REALLY WORK. The Arnica cream deadens pain almost instantly and the MSM Body Boost is regenerating my severed nerves and tendons much much faster than normal. I am even impressing my occupational therapist with the speed of my recovery!”
– Brad Carriere, Salmon Arm, Canada
“I move oil rigs in Northern Alberta. My job is especially demanding in the winter and with temperatures commonly at -30 degrees my arthritic thumbs and hands are particularly vulnerable. But, I solemnly swear to the fact that the Arnica Extreme Relief Cream does work! Two to three applications first thing in the morning before work was all that was needed for the day. THIS ONE DOES WORK!!”
– Gordon MacPhee, Alberta, Canada
“I am so happy with using Arnica Extreme Relief Cream. I was so surprised because within 15 minutes the swelling was going down and I could move my hand much better. I also fell in October on some ice and sprained my ankle. As soon as I got home I put some Arnica on my ankle and continued to do so twice a day. I had no bruising and it seemed to help the muscles feel better.. I also find when my family feels tense from work or driving, I put arnica on their neck and shoulders and within a few minutes their muscles relax and the pain subsides. I love it.”
– Carol, Salmon Arm, Canada.
“I’ve attached a before and after photo of the bruise my husband had from an impact. I hounded him continually to massage it from the centre of the bruise outwards multiple times a day and you can literally see where he used the cream and where he didn’t and the centre of the bruise was gone within a week whereas the rest took much longer. This cream is amazing if used diligently. I broke my wrist 7 weeks ago and it has provided me much relief and healing. Thank you.”
– Karen McLellan, Registered Acupuncturist & Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine
PROBLEM SKIN CREAM
“I have had psoriasis for 10 months and tried two different prescriptions to no avail. I have tried numerous moisturizing creams to no avail. I saw your Problem Skin Cream and thought I would try it. It has given me relief from the itching and the skin surface is returning to normal. I am so grateful. Thank you.”
– Jane Callahan.
“I developed psoriasis after the birth of my daughter and have tried every remedy known to mankind. Cortisone was the only thing that made it go away for a short period of time only to return as soon as I stopped using it. But this remedy is not healthy. On vacation last summer I happened upon this Problem Skin Cream and skeptically purchased it. To my amazement it really does work. My elbows have been clear for 3 months and I am thrilled. Thanks Rocky Mountain Botanicals.”
– Susan Teige
” I have very dry and sensitive roseacea skin and have been looking everywhere for a cream that would reduce redness and not cause my face to break out. Rocky Mountain Botanicals Problem Skin Cream is surprisingly light in texture and yet is very moisturising and soothes immediatly with the plus that it’s 100% natural, fair trade and vegan! My face is visibly less red with no soreness, I highly recommend it for roseacea sufferers and anyone with sensitive skin.”
– Lucy Techerno, Barcelona, Spain.
“I have autoimmune disease and I just used your Problem Skin Cream on my itchy eyelids and had instant relief! After two years of trying anything!”
– Linda Holmes, Summerland, Canada.
MSM BODY BOOST
“I started taking MSM Body Boost in December 2004. Before that I had pain in my thumb, hip and knee from arthritis. About 3 days after I started taking this I have been pain free up to this time. What a wonderful feeling. I am so thankful to have found you and your products. Also since a young child I have been bothered with eczema to the point that my fingers would crack open and bleed. Since using your Problem Skin Cream I haven’t had any problems with my fingers this winter at all. All I can say is thank you thank you.”
– April Holgate, Kamloops, Canada
Just a quick note to say how impressed that I am with the results of using MSM Body Boost for one month. I suffer with osteo-arthritis in my hands. After four days of starting MSM, I could bend my fingers to the palm of my hand. After two weeks I could open a jar and after one month I can snap my fingers. The pain is significantly less and I am sleeping with less difficulty because of that. It is hard to tell from this letter but I can also print with less difficulty! Thank you so much.
J. Joinson.” Edmonton, Canada
“With severe arthritis in my hands, burning stinging pain in my arm, medication from an arthritis specialist that seemed to make me feel worse all over, I decided I would try this MSM Body Boost. Within the first six weeks I found noticeably less swelling in my hands and on several large swellings in and around my wrists. My hands are also more flexible. Now the pain is gone in my arms also. I am feeling better than I have in many years. THANKS TO MSM.
“For years, starting with my child hood “growing pains”, aching legs had cursed my nights. Doctors and Specialists called it Rheumatism but no cure or help. Now, after trying the Arnica Extreme Relief Cream and MSM Body Boost my leg pain is in the past.”
– Ferne E. Gardner, Chase, Canada
“My experience with MSM Body Boost has been most effective for pelvic pain I had experienced for a good number of years. It was only a day or so when the pain lessened a good amount. Then I increased the dose a bit when I was very active or felt tired with even more benefits. Very soon I felt an overall improvement and especially in the way my body moved and I had a good overall feeling of better optimism. As well, I have not taken a sleeping pill in a couple of weeks.”
– Pearl Summer
ALL NATURAL DEODORANT
“The Rocky Mountains Botanicals Deodorant is the best natural solution I’ve ever used! Easy to use, healthy for my body, and I never have to worry about body odour. One application lasts all day, even doing physical therapy on patients in a very hot climate. I recommend it to my patients!”
– Dr. Jese Anne Wiens, ND, Penticton, Canada
“”It is the best deodorant I have ever used. In fact it’s the only thing that works! (I have tried everything!!!) Thank you for creating such a godsend!”
– Christina Branco, Kingston, Canada.
“I just have to give you my testimonial. I love this product and it loves me. No more sore armpits and no more worries about chemicals harming my body. I have several health issues and I know that removing chemicals from my body is doing a lot of good. I have my daughter using it as well now and I have learned why my jars of deodorant disappear so fast…my husband has been sneaking it. He was always afraid of using deodorants too. God bless and thank you for this wonderful product.”
– Slake, Geneva, Switzerland.
“I love your All Natural Deodorant! I have chemical allergies and have been searching for years and here you have the perfect one. Your commitment to quality shows and this product works great for me. Now I have my husband using it and I been lucky enough to get my daughter started on it at a young age, so hopefully she wont suffer from the ill effects of chemicals. With all my heart, thank you and I wish you the best luck with future products!”
– Mae Rachkowski, Lively, Canada.
“I wanted to let you know that the All Natural Deodorant that we bought for our son WAS/IS the answer we were looking for! We are very wary about chemicals in deodorant and have tried other companies products in the past but in the end, they simply were not able to hide odor. Most didn’t last mid-day. Our 8 year old son clearly is a bit ahead of the other kids in terms of developing glands for odor from his underarms. Naturally, this is an issue that we felt strongly about helping him with.
By a chance testimonial on a website, I hunted down your site and figured…once again…I’d give yet another company’s product a go (with little hope I might add). Wow! This product is definitely the answer for you parents out there with similiar concerns. You will not need much of this product on a daily basis during application to fix your child’s odor problem!
I am relieved for my son and our five year old daughter. At the appropriate time she seems to need some odor help, I will get this product for her as well! Your company is awesome! Thank you Rocky Mountain Botanicals! You have really helped my family!
Kurt Bennett” – Texas, USA
“I recently saw my naturopath who recommended your All Natural Deodorant and I have to say WOW!! I have suffered from Hyperhidrosis for years and have tried every single natural product out there with NO luck, so when I purchased your product, I was of course, skeptical, but to my complete and total amazement, IT WORKS!! and not just a little, it does EXACTLY what it says, no odour and lasts the entire day. I am beyond thankful and will be recommending this product to everyone I know!! Thank you SO much!!”
– Tami Harrington, Canada
“The All Natural Deodorant is marvelous. The scent is so light and dissipates so quickly that I am unaffected by it. And it works so well. Unbelievably well. It’s like magic. I’ve tried lots of different deodorants from health food stores to drug stores to high end cosmetics and this is the best. It works, it scent doesn’t give me a headache and it goes on easily. What a great job you’ve done on this.”
– Jill Seldon, Vancouver, Canada
“I love your All Natural Deodorant. I have searched for a very long time for a natural deodorant that actually works. It was very frustrating. I have many benign cysts in my breasts which are extremely painful. In trying many different natural deodorants I came to realized that the commercial deodorants were making the pain much much worse. I knew then that I could not use commercial deodorants(which is not a bad thing considering the harmful things they are made with). However, I did get to a point where I couldn’t decide what would be better, smelling bad or the pain. The pain would get so bad I could hardly move but I didn’t want to smell either. I knew I had to keep searching.
I came across your website and thought to myself I have nothing to lose. I didn’t have high expectations at all. I thought it would be the same as every other natural deodorant and I would have to re-apply every hour just so I didn’t smell. I was very very pleased when I started using your deodorant. I don’t have to re-apply every hour. It lasts all day! I was so very shocked and amazed. It’s one product I never want to be without. So thank you very much for the extra jar and a big thanks for developing such a wonderful product.”
– Christine B., Red Deer, Canada.
RADIANCE HEALTHY AGING MOISTURIZER
“I have been using the Radiance Healthy Aging Moisturizer since it arrived, and this is just the loveliest face cream, and it really suits my skin just beautifully. For the first time in ages my skin is comfortable. Having been on chemo meds on and off for the last years, my skin has become sensitive, and your cream is neither too oily nor drying. It looks and feels healthy. Also, because it is made of natural products, my skin can breathe through the cream, so no sweaty face. I’m sounding like Goldilocks here … it’s just right! I am so thrilled to have ‘found’ your store. Count me in as a loyal customer.”
– L. Lewis, New South Wales, Australia
“I am forever thankful for the opportunity I had to travel to Canada and find your Radiance Healthy Aging Moisturizer. For three years I have faithfully used the anti-aging cream with significant results. Approaching 60 I am told constantly that I appear to be in my 30’s. Not only has the product reduced signs of aging, but it has eliminated age spots that were beginning to appear on my legs.”
– Michelle Morgan, USA.
“Rocky Mountain Botanicals’ Radiance Healthy Aging Moisturizer hydrates my dry and very sensitive skin almost immediately. My skin absorbs it instantaneously and is soft and soothed in quite literally a few seconds! I had searched for a natural and organic skin cream that was light and effective for years before finding this product, and have been using it for years now. It is quite simply the best facial cream on the market. On behalf of my skin, I thank Willow and Rocky Mountain Botanicals for this pure, extremely high quality, magical moisturizer!”
– Jennifer Dent, Vancouver, Canada
“I have combination skin and searched high and low for a face moisturizer that doesn’t leave behind an oily residue, isn’t fragranced and absorbs evenly on my face. I spent hundreds of dollars on expensive products and nothing comes close to the Radiance Healthy Aging Moisturizer. Thank you Rocky Mountain Botanicals for ending my seemimgly endless search!”
– Brett Gibson, Vancouver, Canada
“I have always had naturally dry, flaky skin – even living on the humid west coast, and have struggled for years with finding a moisturizer that suited my skin type. The Radiance Healthy Aging Moisturizer was just what I needed. It gives me the perfect amount of moisture, without being heavy or greasy and has evened out my complexion. Not only that, but I love supporting a local small business. Finding and supporting organic, local and handmade products are always a goal, and I am delighted to have found one I use everyday- and LOVE!”
– Emily White, Vancouver, Canada
This letter is to let you know how very grateful I am for your Radiance Healthy Aging Moisturizer. I am 52 years old and have tried many products with little to no success. Finally, after all these years to find a skin cream that actually does what it says it will do! You could see the difference as plain as day. I am so very pleased. Thank you so much.
Mrs. Janille Abbott”, Salmon Arm, Canada
“About three years ago I began to research the ingredients in my daily moisturizer and, as a chemist, I was shocked by what I found. Since then I have looked for natural, effective alternatives. Rocky Mountain Botanicals’ Radiance Healthy Aging Moisturizer does exactly what it promises! My skin is noticeably smoother and this product does not clog pores or leave a residue. All while using only ingredients Mother Nature gave us. A great find!”
Susannah Kennedy, Vancouver, Canada
“I have been using your Radiance Healthy Aging Moisturizer for four years and I love it! It has been the best for my skin over all my expensive products that I have tried. I also use it to speed up healing of cuts and scraped skin without scars. My daughter also uses this cream and she has sensitive skin that breaks out easily but with this cream it has balanced out her dry skin with no reactions.”
– Lynda Simpson
“I have been using Rock Mountain Botanicals moisturizer for aging skin for several years now and, believe me, it is a sublime facial cream. I am 70 years old and people gasp when I say this because I do not look anything close to 70. My skin is nearly wrinkle free. I don’t drink alcohol or smoke which helps to keep my skin fresh, but one must use quality creams as well, and this product is clearly the one to use.”

The PTA at South Wonston is an essential part of our school. All parents and carers are automatically members and everyone’s contribution is highly valued. This enables us to create a richer learning environment for the children. Numerous curriculum resources have been provided throughout the school for the children to be able to enjoy. Each year we hold a wide variety of social functions that allow us all to get to know one another in a more relaxed setting and the children to see their parents and the school staff working together for their benefit. They appreciate this united effort which also adds to their feeling of security. Our school would not be the lively and welcoming learning environment it is without the contribution of the PTA.
We invite you to read the booklet 'Welcome to the PTA' (see below) which will tell you in more detail about the work of the PTA.

Sample the distinctive sultry voice of Sabrina Orial singing one of her original compositions
She was a big star in Indonesia before Filipinos appreciated her smooth, relaxing voice. Sabrina Orial showed us what she's got during a blogcon held at the MCA office in Ortigas last January 2013. Not only does she have this calming, Lisa Loeb-style of voice, but she is a talented composer as well. She performed her own songs during the intimate gathering with the online media group. Her own compositions were good enough to be made into an original album, no need for covers to be attractive to the buyers To top it off, she had an attractive personality with a fun sense of humor. A sweet and friendly person through and through, not the typical showbiz exterior kind of niceness that we blogger encounter once in a while. The album is the kind you can listen to while working, travelling, or just chilling with a friend.
I Love Acoustic 5 by Sabrina Orial includes a duet with Christian Bautista in "Terrified", a collaboration with Thai Saxophonist Koh Mr. Saxman for "Could It Be"--a popular Indonesian song, and an original composition "Oh Boy". The album is available in CDs under MCA Muisic and for download via ITunes and mymusicstore.com.ph.

Computer interpretation keeps on developing. With man-made brainpower in the blend, machine interpretations appear to be relatively human. Google Translate is one of the best players in this market, providing everything from essential content interpretation to program implanted (Chrome) interpretation to a strong interpretation API. Be that as it may, even with these choices, is Google Translate sufficient?
Google Translate and other machine interpreters furnish interpretations promptly and with high exactness rates. Be that as it may, would they say they are adequate?
Effective interpretation, machine-produced or something else, still relies upon three center substance features: gathering of people, topic, and quality.
Group of onlookers
Group of onlookers desires matter. Do your groups of onlookers anticipate that substance custom fitted will them, or would they say they are tolerating of potential interpretation defects?
Your group of onlookers might be all the more lenient of interpretation mistakes or cumbersome expressing by and large substance. They might be less sympathetic (or offended) if instructional or focused on substance contains evident defects.
As to Translate, utilizing their API to straightforwardly decipher and distribute web substance may be adequate. In any case, if your group of onlookers expects customized content, extra advances are required in the interpretation procedure to guarantee the substance addresses them.
Know your groups of onlookers’ desires previously choosing your interpretation approach.
The topic of your substance likewise influences machine interpretation precision. Will machine interpretation instruments comprehend your wording?
Machine interpretation instruments are just as keen as they are prepared to be. In the event that you utilize exceptional wording, or if your substance is exceedingly specialized and should be completely exact, (for example, with life sciences), you should prepare the apparatus to comprehend this substance.
Utilize a corpus of your substance to prepare the apparatus how to fittingly make an interpretation of your substance into different dialects. This procedure is neither fast nor simple, however is fundamental for precise machine interpretation.
Content quality is constantly vital, however it is basic on account of machine interpretation. It is safe to say that you are incorporating quality control with source content advancement? Do you entirely uphold style, wording use, and substance structure?
Machine interpretation is best with substance that is reliably composed, utilizing particular terms and expressions in particular settings. Visit utilization of equivalent words in differing settings can befuddle machine interpretation apparatuses. In like manner, conflicting substance structure can result in various interpretations for comparative strings of content.
Slang, sayings, and language are additionally tricky. The machine interpretation device must be prepared to comprehend these develops and compare them to socially proper confined expressions. If not, the interpretations will be strict, which could be humiliating or out and out hostile.
In the event that expressive irregularities, slang, sayings and such can’t be evaded, consider utilizing human interpreters and utilize transcreation where socially fitting interpretations of more vivid phrasings are required.
All in all, is Google Translate adequate?
Truly and no. It truly relies upon how you expect to utilize it, and whether potential errors are suitable.
On the off chance that your gathering of people does not require or expect a 100% precise interpretation, at that point Google Translate might be sufficient. On the off chance that exactness is basic, you may need to take a gander at other interpretation alternatives, or if nothing else work in an exhaustive survey process and custom corpus support into your utilization of NMT. | <urn:uuid:b12adb32-30af-4604-9206-b6ef39f80b1d> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://article-biz.com/business/is-google-translate-good-enough/ | 2019-07-18T17:49:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.898317 | 711 |

By Mike Faden
If you’ve ever received a customized offer while web surfing, or had a credit card unexpectedly declined because you were traveling, you may have been on the receiving end of machine learning. Today, machine learning is already used in a wide range of applications—customer segmentation and fraud detection are two of them—and it’s in the process of being integrated into many more.
Machine learning is based on algorithms that can learn from data without rules-based programming. One reason it’s become so valuable is because companies are dealing with vast and rapidly growing volumes of data. Some estimates suggest that the amount of data globally doubles every two years.
“Trying to find the value in that data, getting insights into the data, can be very challenging,” says Aali Masood, senior director of big data marketing at Oracle. “This is the appeal of machine learning—you can let the algorithms figure it out.” Machine learning may find things that humans would miss; furthermore, the more data that is fed to the algorithms, the better they get at identifying trends and patterns.
Common Machine Learning Techniques
Machine learning isn’t a single approach—it’s a collection of different techniques used for solving different problems, says Peter Jeffcock, director of big data product marketing at Oracle. Multiple techniques may be combined in some cases. Some of the best-known are:
- Regression is used to predict numbers, such as optimum pricing, Jeffcock says. For example, it might be used to predict home prices based on the number of rooms and the size of the yard. Other uses include estimating customer lifetime value. Interestingly, Jeffcock notes, even though machine learning is one of today’s hottest buzzwords, not all the techniques are new. Regression concepts can be traced back to British statistician Sir Francis Galton, Charles Darwin’s half-cousin, as early as 1875.
- Classification is a “supervised” learning technique in which the system learns to identify members of a known class based on their characteristics. Jeffcock’s analogy: If you tell a system that a specific fruit is a banana, it can start to get an idea of the characteristics that make something a banana. Then it will be able to recognize other bananas. Uses include identifying likely high-value customers—or customers likely to “churn”—and fraud detection.
- Clustering, in contrast, is an “unsupervised” learning technique in which the system recognizes similarities between items and groups them as members of an inferred class—even though it doesn’t know what the class is. To return to the banana analogy: A system might recognize that thin, curved, and yellow items are all members of the same class—even though it hasn’t been told that the class is called bananas. Similarly, it might cluster together round, hard, green things even though it doesn’t know they are apples. Common uses include customer segmentation and credit risk analysis, Jeffcock says.
- Anomaly detection is used to look for differences rather than similarities. As its name suggests, it can be used to find things that are unusual: “A needle in the haystack or a black sheep,” Jeffcock says. It may find anomalies that might otherwise be hard to spot in masses of data. Jeffcock notes an example of the healthcare company that found one dentist billing for 85 fillings per hour—which works out to less than a minute per filling—suggesting investigation for potential fraud.
- Association rules are used to identify like-minded people for purposes such as market basket analysis. Companies use it to make offers: it’s often the technique behind the “you might be also interested in…” suggestions on ecommerce websites, Jeffcock says. It is used to determine rules, such as people who buy spaghetti, meatballs, and tomato sauce also tend to buy Parmesan cheese—so if you put the first three items in your online shopping cart you may also be offered the fourth. The technique can also used for root cause analysis and to find “harbingers of failure:” consumers whose tastes are so far out of the mainstream that if they like a product, it can actually indicate that the product is likely to fail.
- Time series analysis can be used to analyze data over time. Uses include forecasting household energy consumption based on past usage, or predicting seasonally adjusted employment data.
- Neural networks are based on the concept of neurons that are somewhat like the neurons in the human brain, and are applied to problems in which they learn somewhat like humans. For example, a neural network might be trained to recognize handwritten digits by being shown examples. Neural networks can become large and multilayered to tackle complex problems.
Companies are applying machine learning in many ways to achieve business benefits, Jeffcock explains. Britain’s National Health Service, for example, has used Oracle’s machine learning to identify hundreds of millions of pounds in savings. Sports-ticketing company StubHub uses machine learning to detect potentially fraudulent transactions.
Organized fraudsters continually look for new ways to evade detection—so it’s important that fraud-detection models can quickly adapt. “What works today may not work tomorrow,” Jeffcock says.

This is Circulating Ideas, I’m Steve Thomas. In this very different episode, the guest is me and I am interviewed by Leah White who is a librarian at the Northbrook Public Library near Chicago. This episode came about due to the successful Kickstarter campaign and this was one of the stretch goals, that Leah would interview me for the show and we accepted questions from contributors and here’s the result of that.
I am Leah White and I am a Reader Services Librarian at Northbrook Public Library in the suburbs of Chicago and I am interviewing Steve Thomas, @stevelibrarian and also as you know him, the host of this wonderful, awesome podcast Circulating Ideas, because you guys got it together and got, made the Kickstarter go through. So, yay!
So, we asked for people for questions and thank you so much to everyone who submitted and we’re going to go ahead and get started, but I’m going to totally cheat and ask some of my own questions as well. So, this is my own question. The first thing I want to know is how did it see, how did it feel to see Wrigley Field for the first time?
It was, it was fantastic! [laughs] As a national league fan I had no interest in the White Sox, who are playing in town. We are at the ALA conference doing this interview and they were in town so I was very upset when the Cubbies were out of town. But I did go spend a lot of money buying Cubbies merchandise anyway [laughs] for my family. So it, it was exciting, very much, they’re one of the other teams, I’m a Braves fan because I’m from Atlanta, but Cubbies are one of the other teams that are close to my heart. We had a great, we had, one of our great pitchers was Greg Maddox who came from Chicago first, that’s where he got famous and then we had him and he helped make us famous, so.
Awesome. Well, that actually kind of answers one of our user-submitted questions, from Emily Clasper which is, “The only question that matters in these parts is Mets or Yankees?” But, I think we know go Cubs and Braves.
Yes, the answer to that is neither, because Yankees because they’re pure evil and Mets because they’re our division rivals, so. [laughs]
Sorry, Emily. Okay, I have another question. I’d like to know who some of your podcast idols are? And this also leads to one of our questions from Tracey Carter which is about what inspired you to start the podcast?
Well, I can, I’m going to get my phone out so that Leah can see that I’m not lying about what podcasts I actually listen to.
My main podcast title is, what I started off with was Terry Gross on Fresh Air on NPR. That’s what I sort of was sort of thinking of when I thought of this podcast in the first place, is why I wanted to do it. Because I was listening to her show and thinking I liked the one-on-one interview style. There’s another one, his name is Dan Benjamin, he does a lot of tech podcasts, he runs a network called 5by5, it’s a bunch of tech, techy kind of podcasts and he does, he did a show for a long time and it was all just one-on-one interviews, it was all with techy people, mostly Apple people cause I’m a big Apple nerd.
But, so that’s, those are the two big ones and, so I have, I mean I just have tons of podcasts on here that I listen to regularly.
So, that’s interesting that you bring up Fresh Air because Terry Gross actually interviews all of her people remotely too and I, I mean was there a conscious thought about that? That you were going to interview people who weren’t necessarily geographically convenient?
It wasn’t specifically what I wanted to do, but it was more just a realism that, I mean I’m in Atlanta and there’s only so many librarians in Atlanta. I mean even if I, I mean there’s lots of great librarians around there, but I mean I can’t talk to everybody who I want to talk to. A lot of it, I, you know, I want to use the Movers and Shakers list, is a good little screening tool to find people that I want to talk to and, I mean, just, there’s just librarians all over the place that I want to talk to and get the word about, the passion that they have for the profession. We will, we just got out of a session here at ALA about bringing your passion to your work and that, my thought is I do have a lot of passions about my just everyday job, but my biggest passion project is this show, so.
It shows. I mean you can see it in that, that’s what makes it so great.
Did I answer that question?
Yeah, so, again Tracey Carter, what, my question is what inspired you to start the podcast? And what technology did you start out with when making your first podcast?
Well, I mean, what inspired me was just that I listen to a lot of podcasts myself, like Fresh Air, and just one day it hit me that I would like to hear a show like this about librarians and it’s one of those things that if you have a really great idea and you find that nobody else is doing it, then it’s sort of up to you to do it.
Yeah, to make it happen, yeah.
And for the old ALA Think Tank thing of make it happen, so that’s why I was, I just decided that, I, at first and then sort of the Circulating Ideas name just came to me and then I looked around and nobody was using that and so it came together. And my original thought was, “Okay, well, I’ve got this good idea, I think it’s a good idea, so let me find somebody to do it, because somebody should do this.” I was, “ A professional ways to do this kind of thing.” And it was my wife actually who just said, “Well, you just do it.” [laughs]
Yeah, go wife, yeah.
Yes [laughs]. So I just decided to start doing it and Buffy Hamilton was a local librarian so I asked her to do it first. I had originally thought first, at the time, Bobbi Newman was also local so I was going to ask her to do it, but the timing didn’t work out and so, and then I asked Buffy and she said yes and so that, I thought, also she’s a nice, big name in the library world so that’s a good way to make, to make a big splash at first.
Yeah, start out big.
Yeah, that’s awesome.
And the, and the technology end of that. That first episode if you go back and listen to it does not sound very good because it was just me in front of my iMac turning on the record button in GarageBand and recording and so I had the volume up too loud, there’s lots of reverb so you can, so it does not sound very good and Buffy has agreed to come back on at some point so I can do a more professional sounding [laughs] episode.
Oh, that’s great, yeah, that’s great news.
So that was, yeah, at the beginning it was all just my iMac plus the free little software that comes on iMac, is the GarageBand and Skype and I did, I got a little, there’s this $20 add-on that you can get for Skype to record calls coming off of it. And there actually free options now that were not available then, so for anybody else that wants to do that there are free options for recording Skype calls now. But Skype themselves do not allow you to record, so you have to buy, you have to get add-ons for that. And I used the Internet Archive to store everything so I didn’t have to pay for hosting of the files, so that was good and I used, I was going to use WordPress to do the blog where I would post all the episodes, but it turns out if you own your own domain name and want to do, whatever that’s called, sort of making it go.
Like you hosting?
No, just making it go to your address instead of, redirect, redirect. If you wanted to redirect to the right site, when you did that, you have to pay a fee to redirect, so I went to Blogger who does not charge you a fee to redirect, so it. So, the site, this site doesn’t look as good as I want it to, even now, just because it’s, Blogger is pretty template orientated so it doesn’t, but it’s mostly just there as a placeholder for people to go to get the episodes, so.
Especially, I just download, I mean I get them straight to my iPhone.
Right, yeah, I think that’s how most people do it, they just, they just subscribe through iTunes or whatever other podcatcher thing that they’ve got so I don’t, I don’t know that a lot of people go, I mean there are a lot of people that go to the site but I don’t know how much people stay on the site and listen. They might just download the episode and go. The, the problem is that they don’t provide, iTunes especially doesn’t provide any stats to you, so I don’t have any stats about how many people download through iTunes, so I don’t really know audience-wise how many I’ve got. I mean I know the RSS feed has about 200, last time I checked which was months ago, people subscribed to it, so I’m, at least that many people listen, but I don’t, but, so I don’t think that even includes iTunes so I don’t know for sure.
Oh, it’s got to be more than that.
I would think so because there were, I mean there were 113 people, I think it was 113 was the final, that gave to the Kickstarter, so.
I would assume they were all listeners, one of which was my mom, of course.
[laughs] Go mom! So, this one’s from Jeffrey Davis. Why do you think there are so few library profession podcasts?
For one thing I don’t think podcasting is still a huge thing. I mean it’s still getting out there. I think as data plans are getting cheaper and people can afford to stream things now and do things on their phones a lot more, that’s becoming more popular as radio dives down, then podcasting and internet radio kinds of things are coming up. I think that it will become more popular, is part of it. I mean there are some good ones out there. There’s one, I mean Maurice Coleman has T Is For Training. That’s a good one if you do training in your library, that’s a good one. There was a good one called Adventures In Library Instruction that was some academic librarians that, actually I used to work with a couple of them.
But it was, all of those, they were all tailored to a specific crowd, so there’s not, I mean there’s This Week In Libraries which is a more, it’s a video, I think you were on that.
Yeah, I was, I was on that, yeah. This Week In Libraries is pretty great, but it’s all video based. Yeah.
Right, so it’s a, I mean it’s sort of a podcast, but it’s a video show and they’re doing, they’re kind of doing the same thing that I’m doing in general and they’re more international because they’re based out of, I want to say Denmark but I’m not sure that’s right.
They’re, they’re in, yeah, they’re in Delft which I believe is in, gosh, they’re, I always call them..
We’re Americans, we don’t know geography.
[laughs] I always call them the Dutch librarians. They’re wonderful, the Shanachies, they’re great.
Yes, they’re, they’re really great. So they’re doing the same kind of thing, but, and on a more international scale and not just audio.
Okay, so we actually, we’ve got a lot questions from Kristi Chadwick. So let’s, let’s dive right in. What stereotypical librarian minutia do you participate in? Such as do you have cats? Sweater vests? Too many books? Those librarian vices, tote bags, we are, we at ALA, tote bags are a-plenty, so.
I don’t have a lot of tote bags, I always come back with, I have a lot of tote bags with me right now because they’re the Kickstarter rewards for other people, so I’m trying to give those away, [laughs] But.
[laughs] You’re like the tote bag fairy!
Yes [laughs] I don’t collect tote bags, a lot of times, I mean my wife will take the tote bags that I bring home from conferences a lot of times. Usually I don’t go round to the, if I go to the vendor booths and get things, I try not to get the tote bag even, I’ll, I’ll take.
What? [laughs] Gasp!
I will take it if I need something to carry things around in, but I don’t take them just on principal. [laughs]
Whenever my boyfriend goes to a conference he brings back tote bags for me, so maybe this is a dude thing? I don’t know.
Yeah, I think so, cause I got, my wife ends up using it and she made sure the Kickstarter thing, she was, “I didn’t give any money to your Kickstarter cause it’s our shared monies so it doesn’t really count. And, but I still want a tote bag, so you gotta get me a tote bag.” [laughs] So, yeah.
[laughs] Tote bags are important.
Yes. But no I, we do, we have a cat, we just had a cat pass away, sad face.
No, I’m so sorry.
But we have another cat, so we, we did, we’re a cat family, except now our kids want a dog, so I suppose we’ll be a dog family.
Yeah, you could do both.
Eventually two, you can do both, yes.
I’ve got both. It works.
Yes, but cats, cats are more our personality, but my wife as well, But.
What’s your cat’s name?
Aww, that’s adorable. Oh, yay, cats.
And, and yeah we do have tons of books.
Around the house.
Every librarian should have tons of books. I can go on record saying that. So, what topic do you think hasn’t been covered in the podcast that you think should be covered?
I just recently started doing more topic-based ones. I, I’ve generally before I was focusing just on individual people, but I, I have wanted to do some things.
I keep thinking I want to do some really big e-book thing, but then I start hearing too much about e-books, I’m sick of hearing about e-books and I don’t want to research it more to do an episode.
E-books, necessary evil, yeah.
Right, so I mean I may do that some day. I don’t know, I usually think of it more in terms of guests. So I do have a really, really, really, really long list of people that I want to have on the show. So I don’t usually think of it in terms of topics necessarily, but yeah, I’ve got a huge list of people.
Of people. Well the, her next question was what topic will you never cover on the podcast. Or, I don’t want to say what’s a person who you would never [laughs] have on the podcast because that seems rather pointed. But, is.
I will neither confirm nor deny that there is a blacklist.
[laughs] Yeah [laughs] So we, maybe we’ll gloss over that question.
There’s no real blacklist.
Yeah. [laughs] How much, how much time does it take? So, in two seconds I can get access to your podcast, but I am assuming, I mean how many, how much per week are you dedicating to this podcast?
It’s on and off. I mean a lot of the research comes just from being able to do professional reading, I mean I can read Library Journal on my, even just regular work time, and that counts as professional development for my work. And so then I’ll read the Mover and Shaker episode of, issue and so I can learn about them and then. A lot of times it’s just a name that pops up as somebody that I want to talk about, talk to and what I’ll do is I’ll go, if they, it’s helpful to me if they’re active online cause that makes it easy to do their research. That way I can just do it at home when we’re sitting there watching TV, or if I feel it’s relevant enough I’ll do it as part of my regular job, cause the podcast is not related to my regular job so I don’t, I try not to do too much on regular work time to do with it. But, how many hours does it? It depends on the guest, cause I mean I’ll, a lot of times it’s somebody that I’ve already kept up with anyway, so I’m already following their blog, but I’ll go back through and mark things that I specifically want to ask them about. Like if they wrote a post recently about that, or I’ll follow their Twitter, or I’ll follow Facebook or something like that. So I try to do as much research as I can. If they have papers they’ve written that are able for me to find, like not in a locked-away journal that I don’t have a subscription to, but I can’t read it. But, I mean, it’s, just for the recording of the episode alone is about an hour usually.
And how about post-production?
Post-production is probably at least, is a couple, 2, 3 hours minimum, cause I listen to it back once to go through and cut out long pauses, or too many umms, or things like that. I don’t cut them all out cause I don’t want it to sound too unnatural, but if it’s long ummmmmm, ahhhhh, too much of that just doesn’t sound that great after a while.
[laughs] Oh man.
And I, and I’ve actually gotten to the point where I can see on the GarageBand, in the GarageBand, that’s where I do the editing in the GarageBand still, but I can see the waveform of what an umm looks like now and I know where it is and I can just, I can snip it out really quickly [laughs].
You’re an umm hunter.
Yes, that’s amazing!
But yeah, but it, so I, so I go through the episode once and do all that and then I go through the episode again, to listen to it again, so I listen to it at least twice before it gets posted and that’s, but it takes me, I don’t know, yeah I mean it’s at least three hours for an hour long episode. Sometimes I’ve had longer episodes that take obviously just longer depending on how long it is.
[laughs] And the last question from Kristi is, what exactly do you do for your day job?
Well, I work at Gwinnett County Public Library which is outside Atlanta. It’s a suburban library system. I’m just an assistant branch manager. So I just manage day-to-day stuff at the branch, schedules and things like that and supervise staff, all kinds of.
You’re making it sound so easy and I know it isn’t.
No, it’s not, and, I mean, there’s lots of stuff to do, and I mean, we organize outreach to the schools and the community and things like that…
So you make the library work?
So my branch.
No big thing, yeah, no big thing.
So, so my boss, my branch manager can take her time doing other higher-end stuff usually.
Awesome. Andrew Shuping. So Andrew asked, this is going to be cut out, oh god, oh, so Andrew asks how long do you want to continue to do this podcast?
Indefinite, I guess. I don’t, I don’t have an endpoint in mind.
[laughs] Yeah, no, I have no endpoint in mind.
And what’s the thing you want everyone to know about you that they don’t know? That’s a rather personal question, Andrew.
Yeah. Well, I think the couple of questions back was one of those, that I don’t, I don’t usually talk about where I work, so there’s one that somebody and most people don’t know about. And that’s more just of a, because it doesn’t have anything to do with my work, the podcast, that I try to keep the, just distance there, the professional distance there and that. So, something, I don’t work on it on work time, it’s a, I try, I just try to keep a distance from that. I mean I don’t, I don’t specifically, I mean they know everything that I do, I mean I update them and say. When I did the Kickstarter I said, “I’m doing a Kickstarter, my name is going to be out there, so I just want you to know that I’m doing, that I’m doing this and it’s a library related thing, so it’s related to libraries, but no I’m not going to, it’s not going to disrupt my work in any way.” But, yeah, I don’t know that there’s any other secrets.
[laughs] Yeah, he really, he really wants to know about your secrets because the last question is what’s one secret, sec, what’s one secret you’re willing to reveal live? This is, this is like truth or dare. [laughs]
What’s one secret?
Well, the cat was a secret.
Even, you, yeah, there you go, my cat, my cat.
What’s your, here, I’ll, I’ll get you, this isn’t a secret, but what’s your favorite book?
For the longest time…
Oh, it was Ender’s Game.
Now see, I was going to say, you’re going to get, you’re going to get all upset.
No, it’s okay. I won’t get upset.
That was it for the longest time and I still have that little place in my heart that I can’t let it go completely, but no I, it has been tarnished and I’m trying to think, I don’t know that anything has jumped into it, so I don’t really have a good set answer any more because it was the answer for the longest time, but yeah.
Due to certain things that we won’t discuss.
Yeah, I’m actually working on a list of books right now for my blog, called Alternatives to Ender’s Game and it breaks my heart a little because I also loved the book. But now I’m trying to find things that I love and other books that I can also suggest to patrons and it’s tough.
I guess I’ll, I mean I’ll say Old Man’s War, I guess, Scalzi, it’s one of my favorites.
Number one on my list.
I mean he’s probably one of my favorite author at the moment.
Apparently, he, he spoke at the Movers and Shakers reception which I had to leave early and missed his talk, but he gave this talk about libraries where he cried. And everyone in the audience cried, so now we can love John Scalzi even more.
Yes, so I’ll, we’ll put Old Man’s War in that slot for now.
Awesome. So Daniel says, “What did, why did you decide to join the library world?”
Well, I don’t have a really good, exciting answer for that one. It’s basically I was working in bookstores and…
What bookstore did you work at?
Several, I started in a little independent store down in Sarasota, Florida. And then I moved when, then I’ve worked for Books-A-Million in Florida where I met my wife, because she was working in there too and she always likes to say you could find anything in a bookstore, including a husband. That’s her joke.
[laughs] that’s awesome!
And then, and then when I moved, she went to a graduate school in Atlanta so I moved up here after we got engaged and married, so when I moved up there I just got a job at the, I wonder where the Barnes & Noble mall store used to be called, B. Dalton. So I worked at that for a little bit and then they closed that and, Barnes & Noble closed that entire part of their company, so that store obviously closed and I worked at a Barnes & Noble for a little bit. And then I wasn’t making tons of money because that’s a retail job and my wife said, “Hey, at my school where I work at Emory University, where she was going to grad school, there’s an opening for a, in the library if you want to come and do it for that? And it pays a lot more than what you get right now.” And it was just the stacks person, a person who goes shelves books and one of my main parts of my job was to shift the collection because they were, to make room for all this new stuff around, so that was my job.
I had a very similar first job. I was a professional shelf reader in my first, very first gig, it was horrible. You got to do it.
Yeah, no it’s a, so I did that for, when did I do that? I got that job in ‘99 guess, and then for a couple of years, or 2000 maybe, it must have been, I don’t know. No, actually no it was 2000 because I got the job in April and then I got married May that same year, so I had to get the job and then I had to say, “Oh by the way I can work for three weeks and then I need to take two weeks off for my wedding and honeymoon.” [laughs] “So I hope that’s okay.”[laughs]
And so I moved from there into, still at that, at Emory. They were very encouraging for us to go, to go to library school and so I went to library school while I was there. And they actually, I’m not going to say it was created for me, but it was conveniently created, they made a new position up that was half-time in reference and half-time in the serials cataloging department. So I got to learn lots of different parts of libraries. So I got to work on the reference desk and I got to learn how to catalog serials and so I was learning all kinds of the backroom stuff, the tech services stuff and the forward patron facing part of it. So that was a really good experience for me.
That all kind of leads to your position now though, because now you manage all these operations and you got to work in all those little, all those positions.
Right, and then. And after I graduated because it’s, that was not a professional position, that was still a paraprofessional position, so that, I did that while I was in school and then when I graduated I went to another school and worked for a little while and I eventually realized, I’m not going to talk about that experience so that’s cool, but the [laughs], I eventually realized that I didn’t really like working in college.
Andrew, that was the secret.
That they, yeah, that’s the, that’s the secret that I’m not going to reveal on here, come have a drink with me and I’ll tell you that story. I realized I didn’t really, I very much enjoyed working at Emory, the school I worked at before, but I didn’t really like working in academic libraries, no offense, academic librarians.
No, I went through something very similar.
And so, and so I went out when I, in the job market again, I was, like, “Well, let me go apply.” The public library had a job opening and I thought, “Well,” in my local community. So I was already driving, we didn’t live anywhere near the, either, any college that I worked at, we didn’t live anywhere it, but our local, or the county where we lived, had a job opening in the public library and I thought, “Well, let me apply for that and see what it was.” And when it really came to me that I hadn’t really thought of it clearly probably until, until the interview I think is when it actually came to me. When they actually asked, at the end, why do you want this job? Because I was a little concerned, I was, I only have academic library experience, are going to hire an academic librarian for a public librarian job? But it came to me that the public library was a good intersection, that was the story that I wrote for you when we first met.
This story is probably familiar to you. That it was really the, it’s an intersection between the bookstore work and the academic library work, that this was public libraries, that’s, so I’m serving in the community, my local community more. I mean, nothing, no offense against helping students at a college, I mean that’s, that’s a special mission in itself, but this is helping my local community, it’s where I live, it’s helping my community do this.
And now I even have my, at my current branch I’m actually, in my daughter’s school is half a mile up from the branch where I’m at so it’s really nice that I’m right where I love being, at the branch where I’m at. I love the whole system but it’s really nice to be right where she is so I can go over and have lunch with her, she’s in kindergarten.
And, and “Intersection” was on Young Librarians Series, yeah, I remember that, that was awesome.
And that’s how Leah and I met, so. [laughs]
Yeah, that’s the background. [laughs] And that website is still active now.
Yes. So you can, you can go Google that, Young Librarians, probably my name and it will, it will, that one will probably come up.
Pops up, yeah, awesome.
So that’s the, that’s how I saw the public library then, that was my intersection of what I, what I liked, I mean, cause I did miss the, the bookstore world, cause there were parts of it that I really liked. I mean I liked working with people individually and finding the books that they want. In a bookstore it’s to find what they want so that you can sell it to them, but at the library it’s just to provide it to them, so it’s a much nicer community feeling.
It is, yeah. So, that’s our, those all of our questions from the contributors.
And my last question and I swear I’m not trying to get you to say me, is do you have any favorite interviews that you’ve done so far?
I win! No, for real, what’s some of, what are some of the interviews that have really stood out to you, or that you feel like have had some good feedback? And what are some of the interviews that we can look forward to seeing in the next year?
Well, some of the best ones. I’ll say Buffy number one, because not only, I mean, because she agreed to do the first one so that was obviously a big help, but it also helped set the tone of it. Because I really wasn’t sure how I was going really going to do it. I was thinking more along the lines of more, a lot more structured than it actually is. I was thinking I’ll write all the questions out, I’ll just read the questions and then they’ll answer the question, then we’ll move to the next question, then we’ll go on from that. But I liked it because she’s so nice and engaging that it really turned into more conversational thing and that’s what I like about it more. And so what, nobody asked about this but I’ll just tell it, what, the way I do it now is I just make a Google Doc of notes. It’s all, sometimes it’s a bit difficult thing, I’m trying to ask, I’ll write out a question that I want to ask specifically, but usually it’s just notes, just.
Like bullet points?
Yeah, just bullets points, topics.
Yeah, that’s what Mark Maron does for the WTF podcast, too.
So I just do that and then I just read off that and it’s not in any specific order, it’s in an order on there that I think might make sense, jumping from topic to topic, but if it, sometimes they start talking about something about else that’s related to another thing that I had down at the bottom and I’ll start talking about that. I mean I’ll just move it around on the page while I’m talking to them.
Does anything ever pop up that you’re, I mean, what catches you unprepared? Does anything? Or do you just try to roll with the punches so to speak?
Yeah, I just try to roll with it and if it’s something that they’re talking, that they get into that I hadn’t really asked about and they get into it but it sounds like a good topic, I’ll usually even type a note for myself real quick. ‘Cause while I’m talking to people I usually, I’m usually, I mute my end so they can’t hear anything, like they can’t hear me sipping my water, or typing or whatever. So I’ll just type the notes up real quick of my next question, I make sure to ask about this so they can get that too. That got really off topic though.
I know, I know.
So that was, so that was from Buffy. But that’s what, that’s what helped because for her I had a bunch of questions all written out, but it ended up, sorry, it ended up going where we were, where we jumped around a lot more than I had intended. So that, but I ended up liking that, so that worked out. And then, actually the next episode was I talked to the Unshelved guys after that and they’re so used to bantering back and forth that that was, I could barely keep up with them. [laughs]
So, but that, but that also helped too because it made it more loose and.
Set the tone, kind of?
Right, right, so those early ones were setting the tone. I’m very happy whenever David Lankes will come on because professionally…
We love you, David.
Yes, [laughs] So, I mean, I was very happy when he first came on and he’s come on again, he came on again to talk about a second book, he came on to talk about the MLS degree in general, which has tied Leah as the, oh no, no, no, this one brings you to four appearances.
Yes, take that! Excellent.
So, what, what are some of the people we can look forward to seeing?
Michael Stephens is a, he’s been on the list for a long time, I just never. The way I choose a guest is usually. Right, he’s busy whenever I’ve tried to do it, I tried to get him on the one where we were talking about the MLS too, but he was off on a conference or something too. So he’s been on my list for a long time.
He was my mentor.
Yeah, yeah. Tell him hi.
And I believe the Young Librarians series was hosted on his…
Yes, he hosted the Young Librarian series, he helped me form that idea into a tangible reality, cause I sent him this really long, rambling email that was, “I’m inspired,” and he was, “Okay, let’s focus.” [laughs]. So, that’s, he’s great, that’s, I’m excited for that too.
Who else? I want Jenny Levine on, but I’ve talked to other people who are like, “She’s hard to pin down, she doesn’t want to do it.” So…
Oh, she’s awesome.
I know, she’s awesome, but she doesn’t like to talk about her stuff I guess. So it’s more.
Oh, she’s modest, oh okay.
Yes, so we’ll see. I, she’s, we’ve had conversations that that might happen some time.
Just go talk to her and just hide a recorder [laughs].
Yes, have a nice conversation, “Oh, by the way I recorded this, bye.”
Meredith Farkas, she was on an episode recently, the, Kate Sheehan guest hosted for me while I was doing the Kickstarter, I had a couple of people come and do guest hosting episodes for me and that was very helpful to give me time off to work on the Kickstarter because that was very time consuming. But I would like Meredith to come on. Actually I would like everybody on those episodes to come on to do their, do their own episode. Meredith is somebody like Michael who’s been on the list since I made the list originally way back when. So….
Let’s talk briefly before, before we end about the experience of the Kickstarter. So something I noticed. After the Kickstarter is, you were almost apologetic about how little, or I guess not about how little the money was, but about what you could get with the money that was raised because of fees, or taxes, could you talk a little bit about that experience was like? Did it meet your expectations? Would you use Kickstarter again? Just for other people, especially other libraries that I think are looking at it as a fundraising resource. What was your experience like?
Yeah, I mean, it was overall a positive experience and you can go on now, Jason Griffey is doing one for his LibraryBox project, so you can go, if this episode comes out in time, you can go back his product as well. I mean I would use it again if I had a good, cause you really need to have a really solid idea and a really solid product that you’re trying to do. And so I don’t know what I would do exactly to do a Kickstarter again, but if I came up with a good, I mean, because this, I’ve upgraded all my equipment now, so it’s, well I guess once this becomes obsolete I can upgrade again [laughs] someday. But I don’t want to just say, “Well, everybody give me money for no reason.”
But it was, it was overall a good experience. I mean there’s other, there’s other crowdsourcing sites like IndieGoGo that they do take a little bit less of a cut.
I mean Kickstarter, it’s not a huge cut, but you have to cut them in and then Amazon processes the payments so they take a cut and so, and then it’s hard cause you have to pay taxes on it, as if it’s income, so I have, so I have to, I mean it’s a, it’s estimated taxes at this point so I just had to figure out I guess I raised almost $3,000 so I just have to figure out if I got paid $3,000 more how much would I. I looked at some tax tables and figured it out and I think I figured it out right. I was very conservative with my estimate to make sure I had enough and I figure if it’s less than that, then I’ll buy something else for the podcast with the money at that point. But it was overall a good experience. I mean that, that was a little disappointing when you get the spreadsheet up and minus all of that stuff out, it’s , “Oh, I don’t have…”
“…quite as much to spend as I wanted.” Cause not only that, but when you’re buying, for all the rewards people could get and the t-shirts, all that kind of stuff, you had pay for that and you had to subtract all that out to pay for all that, then I had to think, everybody that I don’t see at ALA, I have to ship it to them so I have to pay to ship it to them. Once you just start x-ing all that stuff out, then you only have so much money to actually spend. I mean I, I had, I got everything that I wanted out of the Kickstarter. I had, I actually ended up planning pretty well I think because I got basically everything that I wanted, so I, I had, some of the costs were a little more than I thought, but I had given myself some wiggle room and I actually raised more, a little more, well I raised a lot more than I thought I was going to, cause I didn’t, I was not expecting to raise, I thought I would eventually, it was a $2,000 goal. I thought I would eventually get that, but I, it was in the first couple of days I think that it got up there and so I was surprised at how quickly it did that.
Yeah, I mean it went, it was, it was so exciting to watch. It was like wildfire, it was really fun. I was…
And then, and then I, and on Kickstarter you can see, they have the little graph that shows you, so you can see how it’s going up and then after it got to the goal and that’s just normal with Kickstarter, that it plateaus a little bit and then it, so at a certain point you get that initial surge and then you plateau. But it’s kept going up, a little bit here and there, somebody would make a donation and then it would, I raised another thousand past the initial goal, so yeah, no, I was pleased with it and I was pleased with the response I got because I. Again, with the, with the stats being so shaky, I’m not ever really sure. I mean I know there are people who listen to it, but it’s, like, “Well do I have enough people listening to it? Or who are passionate enough about it that they’ll actually give me money to do it?” [laughs] Cause it’s like the, the whole thing with the internet is that, well everything’s free so I don’t have to do anything. So, but no, everybody was very nice and supportive.
It’s funny I feel like there’s actually this shift right now, of people who, and it’s almost I feel like an anti-corporate kind of movement where we do want to pay people for what they’re doing so well on sometimes very small scales. And I feel like it’s a part of the maker movement and the DIY movement, it’s all this feeling that these people deserve to be rewarded for that blog that I read every day, or that podcast that we all know that you spend of time on, that we all really appreciate. So, thank you on behalf of your listeners, you’re the bomb! We love you, Steve. Thank you for creating the podcast and we’re really excited about the Kickstarter going through.
Thank you very much. | <urn:uuid:9506d528-6e67-4c99-90d0-d07a12c33ecd> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://circulatingideas.com/transcripts/steve-thomas/ | 2019-07-18T17:48:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.976008 | 10,063 |
As a part of May survey there were some questions concerning public opinion of environment. The results show us that most respondents are satisfied with environment in the place they live. Dissatisfaction with it was expressed by a quarter of respondents. Environment in Czech Republic is positively evaluated by a half of respondents on contrary almost a half of people are dissatisfied with it.
When evaluating concrete elements or areas of environment satisfaction of czech citizens prevailed. Accessibility of free nature, cleanness of nature and duality of drinking water were best evaluated on the other hand surface water pollution and level of noise were negatively assessed.
Addressed citizens also were asked some questions about current situation of ecological legislation and ecological behaviour of some subjects. The worst evaluated was attitude of some enterprises or firms to environment.

Cask Typenew, charred American oak
"Missing the expected spice and sweet notes of a quality rye whiskey, this is unpleasantly dominated by herbaceous aromas including lavender and dill, and strong fault notes of menthol and camphor. The palate adds sage and basil plus a hint of pepper. A touch of traditional rye flavors emerges on the finish with baking spices and leather." | <urn:uuid:7e954e3a-d589-42eb-a295-811ef484fef9> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://distiller.com/spirits/redemption-barrel-proof-10-year-straight-rye-2017-edition | 2019-07-18T17:39:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.911354 | 230 |

fore the shrine of St. Thomas in Canterbury cathe- dral, and that of the sanctuary of Westminster Abbey was laid, and the shrine of St. Edward the Confessor, with its inlaid mosaic, was executed. Concerning this last, Robert de Ware was sent by the king to Rome in 1267 to procure workmen for the ornamenta- tion of Westminster Abbey and to erect a new monu- ment to St. Edward the Confessor, that made in 1241 not being good enough. The abbot brought back with him one "Petrus", who laid the mosaic pave- ment before the high altar and executed the tomb for the golden shrine of St. Edward. That this Petrus was an eminent person is without doubt. There are
dency to what may be called Gothic development. His accessories show his cosmatesque affinity; this is very noticeable in the throne of the Blessed Virgin in S. Crisogono.
Mosaic work of the period remains at Salerno, Naples and Ravello; at Feranio there are mosaics by Deodato Cosmos (1332); at Orvieto by two religious, Ceco Vanni and Francesco; at Pisa (in 1321) by Vi- cino, who finished that commenced by Cimabue from the designs of Gaddo Gaddi. Andrea di Mino and Michele worked in the cathedral of Sienna, and Deo- dato Cosmos worked at Teramo. Charles IV called ItaUan mosaicists to Prague; they also worked at
recorded many artists of this name, but he who, in the opinion of Mr. PVothingham (American Journal of Archceology, 18S9, 186), did the work in St. Ed- ward's Chapel was Petrus Orderisi, son of Andreas. Horace Walpole (History of Painting in England, T, 17) considers that the artist so called was Pietro Cavallini; both these artists may be termed Cosma- tesrhi. A portion of the inscription reads: hoc opus
EST FACTUM QUOD PETEUS DUXIT IN ACTU.VI ROMANUS CIVIS.
The work of the fourteenth century in Rome and in Italy generally was a continuation of that of the thir- teenth, the design towards the end of the era becoming influenced by the rising art of the more western styles. In St. Mary Major's the "Coronation of The Blessed Virgin" was commenced at the conclusion of the thir- teenth and completed early in the fourteenth century; it. is signed bj' the celebrated artist and mosaicist. Jacobus Torriti. Gaddo Gaddi designed the smaller subjects underneath, soon afterwards. The same artist is said to have completed the work in St. Peter's left by Torriti. He was then called to Arezzo to do the vault of the cathedral, which fell away before the end of the century. Torriti also did the apse of St. John Lateran's; Filippo Rusuti designed the "maj- esty", and Gaddo Gaddi the lower subject of the fa- <;ade of St. Mary Major's, Rome. A mosaic by Munio de Zamaro, a Dominican who died in 1300, is on the floor of St. Sabina's. At the beginning of the century the work in St. Mark's, Venice, was contin- ued. A mosaicist, Solferino, did the dome at Spoleto; and the apse at Parenzo was filled with moasic. Per- haps the most important developments of the art are sh.jwn in the subjects decorating the lower part of the apse of S. Maria in Trastevere [Fig. 12]; in 1291 these subjects were commenced by Pietro Cavallini, who is said by Vasari to have been a pupil of Giotto, although this is questioned by modern critics on fairly substan- tial evidence. He was the most celebrated Roman artist of his time and his designs, while adhering more to the Byzantine than those of Giotto did, show a ten-
ona.'rtPry, Stiris, Phocis
Marienweide and Marienburg, but the art did not apparently thrive in Germany. Mosaic was, how- ever, being rapidly superseded by fresco, which as a primary art giving the sentiment and character of the artists immediately, was of course much more esteemed by persons of discrimination than a mere copy in tesserte, or slabs of opaque glass. Hence in the fifteenth century the cessation of mosaic work in Italy generally was very notable, except in the case of churches in which it had been commenced. Some little was done in St. Peter's, and the work in St. Mark's, Venice, was continued in 1430, when in the chapel of the Mascoli the "Life of the Blessed Virgin" was designed and executed by Grambono. Mosaicists named Petrus, Lazarus, Sylvester, and Antonius also worked there. In Florence, Alessan- dro Baldovinetti (1425-1450) did a mosaic for St. John's and restored that in San Miniato; he studied the making of sinalli, etc. from a German and wrote a work on the technique of the art. He was the master of Domenico Ghirlandajo, who not only did the mo- saic of the "Assumption" over a porch of the cathe- dral and those unfinished in the chapel of St. Zeno- bius, but also designed some of the painted windows in S. Maria Nuova, and whose brother David also followed the same vocation and in 1497 worked at Orvieto and Siena. A specimen of David's work is in the Musde de Cluny. Ridolfo Ghirlandajo, son of Domenico and a friend of Raphael, has certain later mosaics attributed to him.
In the sixteenth century the work of St. Mark's was still c:irried on and a great many artists of reputation were engaged on the designs. The mosaics executed in this cathedral.

Mark FrancisCy Twombly’s enormous painting Treatise on the Veil (1970) looks wonderful in the rooms of the Morgan Library. How did you come to do the exhibition there, with its attendant studies?
Isabelle DervauxThis focused exhibition—one painting and twelve drawings—fits into the program of exhibitions of modern and contemporary drawings that the Morgan has developed in the last ten years or so, which is devoted to the work of twentieth century artists for whom drawing was an important medium and who have made a particular contribution to its history.
In addition, the Morgan has a special partnership with the Menil Collection in Houston, which is also committed to the study and presentation of modern drawings. The display at the Morgan of Twombly’s Treatise on the Veil painting and drawings—which all belong to the Menil—is part of an exchange of exhibitions between the two institutions.
MFTreatise on the Veil has not been seen in New York for many years. It has references to traditional iconography to do with drapery, veiling and the myth of Orpheus, who was an inspirational cultural figure for the artist. How does your program of contemporary exhibitions relate to the history of the Morgan’s own collections?
IDThe program of contemporary exhibitions at the Morgan is intended to show how drawing today is part of a history of drawing that began in the fifteenth century—a history that is particularly well represented in the Morgan’s collection. Twombly’s interest in literature, history, and mythology evidently makes him a particularly good fit for the Morgan, with its extraordinary collections of rare books and manuscripts. But most major contemporary artists are interested in the art and culture of the past. Matthew Barney, whose drawings we showed last year, found in the Morgan’s collections old master drawings, books, and medieval manuscripts that related directly to his work and which were displayed alongside his drawings. Roy Lichtenstein, whose early 1960s black-and-white drawings were the subject of an exhibition at the Morgan a few years ago, loved visiting the Morgan. I think artists who have a particular interest in drawing are also likely to be the ones whose work relates in some ways to the Morgan’s collections.
MFThe great length of the painting and its linear and graphic quality has to do with measurement, and also with musical staves and notation. How do the smaller studies relate to this aspect?
IDThe works on paper include scribbled notations that are primarily numbers, either measurements (“246 × 176”; “4000 miles”) or numerical sequences: “1, 2, 3, 4,…”; ”2, 4, 6, 8”; and the enigmatic “40, 30, 28, 18, 8, 2 ½,” which appears on most of the drawings. Whatever their reference, these sequences suggest time and rhythm. They also mark a lateral progression from left to right—a direction indicated by the words “in” and “out” inscribed respectively near the left and right edge of most of the drawings. These elements in the drawings offer clues on how to read the painting, which also bears the words “in” to the left and “out” to the right, inviting the viewer to walk along the canvas from left to right and perceive it over time, as one would a piece of music.
MFIt has recently been established that Twombly had in mind a particular piece of musique concrète by the composer Pierre Henry from the early 1950s, which amplified the sound of a cloth sheet being torn apart, and relates to the idea of the veil. Do you think that the experience of studying at Black Mountain College, where Twombly also knew the music of John Cage, continued to influence his work?
IDRegarding the reference to Pierre Henry, it also has to do with the notion of time, which, as much as the resemblance to musical notations, relates the painting to music. When Twombly referred to Pierre Henry’s musical composition The Veil of Orpheus as a source for Treatise on the Veil, he said that he had been struck by the very long sound of the tearing of a piece of cloth that opens Henry’s piece. To him, this seemingly unending sound materialized the concept of duration. I think Twombly tried to do the same thing in this painting. This is why the length of the canvas is so important—essential really to the meaning of the work. The lines and the scribbled notations evoke rhythm, sequence, and duration—which all connect the painting to music.
As for the experience of Black Mountain College, it was essential to Twombly for its interdisciplinary approach. He knew the music of John Cage, but also the poetry of Charles Olson. What he took from this experience remained with him throughout his career.
MFThe scale of this painting was unprecedented in Twombly's work up to 1970, or even in any American painting. How important do you consider his work of this period?
IDThe size of the paintings Twombly made during his so-called “grey-ground” period—from the mid-1960s to the early 70s—indicates the level of confidence he had reached at this stage of his career. It is an important moment because in the paintings from this period the combination of the expressive, gestural mode (as in the beautiful painterliness of the background of Treatise on the Veil) and of a conceptual, intellectual approach is particularly successful.

With Manchester City being by far and away the best team in the Premier League so far this season, their recent performances and results suggest that they could go even another further.
Pep Guardiola has taken City to a whole new level, with their slick passing and obsessively possession-based game, wing-backs bombing forward and even the goalkeeper doing tricks inside his own penalty box drawing comparisons to the signature style of Barcelona.
City are the runaway leaders in the Premier League and are scoring goals for fun. True, there have been some tricky games, such against Huddersfield Town and Southampton, but it has been encouraging to see that Guardiola has stuck to his philosophy. Even late in the match against the Saints at the Etihad in November, the Citizens did not panic and played the same way they have throughout the Spaniard’s tenure. And they still scored the winner. With players such as David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero in top form, it is hard to see City slipping up in the Premier League. According to the latest football betting odds, City are the firm favourites for the league title with 1/10 and are rated at 9/2 to win the Champions League.
Across the Channel, Paris Saint-Germain are doing in Ligue 1 what City are doing in the Premier League. PSG made some stunning signings in the summer transfer window, including the recruitment of Neymar from Barcelona, and they are paying dividends. Unai Emery’s side are running away with the Ligue 1 title and they too are scoring goals for fun. The front three of Edinson Cavani, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are arguably the best and potent attacking unit, and defensively PSG are good as well – they have conceded just once in the Champions League so far this season, and that was due to a goalkeeping error.
True, Ligue 1 is not as competitive as the Premier League and the standard of football is also not that high, but PSG’s performances in the Champions League suggest that they do have the quality to win Europe’s premier club competition. Winning against Scottish sides Celtic home and away was always going to be easy, but the way the Parisian outfit destroyed Bayern Munich made the entire world sit up and take notice. They are a force to be reckoned with.
Yes, there are other strong and good teams in Europe, such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus and Bayern, but at this moment in time, if a neutral fan were to choose the finalists for the Champions League, then they would pick Manchester City and PSG. In fact, for neutral fans and followers of football everywhere, they should hope that City and PGS get to the final. With two attack-minded teams going at each other, it could well be the greatest match in the competition’s history and could have four or five goals. Entertainment guaranteed, just as football fans like it… | <urn:uuid:17429865-66a1-4ed5-9713-10542ddc17eb> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://gunghofootball.com/2017/12/05/man-city-vs-psg-the-dream-champions-league-final/ | 2019-07-18T17:05:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.973938 | 602 |
Life will never be free of doubt and insecurity. The path to greatness will never be completely straight. Mediocrity will tempt you along the way. The road to greatness is paved with setbacks, doubt and discouragement. There's no growth without struggle. Challenges build true strength. You'll need it when you arrive. After all, greatness isn't about you. It's about what God wants to do through you.
Dreams and goals start to feel distant if set to the side. Perhaps what you can do seems insignificant, so you wait for one day. When pushed away, it's easy to grow more and more detached. Until one day, you don't recognize them anymore. Committing to small investments over time is hard. It may even feel like they don't leave a dent. But I can assure you it's always better to start. If you start, you'll end up somewhere. If you don't, you'll end up right where you start.
When I doubt that one step will make a difference, I take two small steps. If I think that two steps won’t leave a dent, I take three. Every time I feel like giving up, and that’s just about every day, I make a decision to take just one more step. Remember, always push yourself just a little further than what’s comfortable. Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. And make it a habit to take one more step every time you feel like giving up.
Every dream unrealized is like a masterpiece never painted, a hit song never sung, a great book never written. Every work of art began as a sketch or a dab of paint on a canvas. Every song started out as a single note. Every book originated from a single thought jotted down on a page. Every dream realized began with a step of faith, a single act of courage. Make today the day you step into greatness. It only takes a single act of courage to take that first step of faith.
Experience is a great teacher, but take caution with a pattern of thinking centered around perfect timing. Such a mindset will set you on a path of going in circles. Fear of making a mistake or not being ready may stop you from moving forward altogether. If you wait to feel 100% ready or until circumstances are perfect, the right moment will never come. Have a big vision, but don't just dream. Focus on what you can do today. The plan will unfold as you move forward. If faithful in the small things, little by little you'll build the courage to step into the big things. | <urn:uuid:3b26d834-b1da-4b06-a87f-feef797ba7f9> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://inspireu2action.blog/category/start-today/ | 2019-07-18T18:23:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.960441 | 537 |
Processed, packaged foods are often loaded with more salt, sugar, and refined carbs than you’d put in the foods you cook for yourself. When you’re looking to drop weight fast, avoid foods that come in packages and stick to whole, unprocessed foods. (Here are the four most harmful ingredients in processed food.) Build your plates with non-starchy veggies, unprocessed whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, and season with spices, not salt.
I am fasting for Ramadan. Can I do this diet? Yes, but you will have to spread your meals out. Drink cold water at 4 a.m. Wait 15 to 20 minutes and eat a big meal with the foods on that day's menu. Then at 7 p.m. when you can break your fast, drink another glass of cold water and wait 15 to 20 minutes. Eat another meal. Repeat through the evening, eating small meals until bedtime.
It is possible to do more in less time — at least when it comes to your workouts. By incorporating interval training — that means bursts of high-intensity moves — you’ll give your metabolism a huge boost, says Glenn Gaesser, Ph.D., director of the Kinesiology Program at the University of Virginia and author of The Spark. If you usually jog at a consistent pace, try adding a 30-second to one-minute sprint every five minutes, or, if you’re on a treadmill, change up the incline for one-minute intervals.
Eating sugary foods might be satisfying in the moment, but they can increase your cravings for more sugary foods in the future — and that only leads to trouble. "Many foods high in added sugar are also higher in calories and fill you up less than lower-calorie, still-sweet alternatives like fruit," says Amy Gorin, MS, RDN, owner of Amy Gorin Nutrition in Jersey City, NJ. But there are still ways to satisfy your sweet tooth without ODing on sugar. "When you're baking, cut out some of the sugar in recipes by adding in vanilla extract or cinnamon, blend unsweetened cocoa powder into a smoothie instead of honey, top your French toast with unsweetened frozen fruit instead of syrup, and nosh on a slab of watermelon instead of cookies."
When I first went to this dietician, he told me to get some blood tests done. Like thyroid checkup, blood sugar, serum insulin in my case since I have PCOD. So it’s just not about losing weight but getting to know the underlying reason of piling on the kilos. In my case it was increased serum insulin levels. But in my cousins case all her tests were ok, she was gaining weight because of her erratic routine and the junk food she so loved. So if you think that you are doing everything right but still gaining weight, the first thing you should be doing is finding the underlying reason for it.
Getting up early for an a.m. workout is always tough, especially as you slog through getting dressed before the sun rises. Leaving your sneakers out within view of your bed will make it easier to get out of bed, and remind you of why you’re waking up early in the first place. Plus, setting out your entire workout ensemble will cut down on getting ready time, so you can get dressed and leave the house before you have time to change your mind.
Hello. I really liked this diet sheet, and I really want to follow this, but I have a question. As you’ve written that salads are required to be taken before the food intake. I want to know whether there is any special restriction on the salad to take? Is there any thing I need to take, or shun from my diet? What is the ideal salad? Please help me.
Food and nutrition play a crucial role in health promotion and chronic disease prevention. Every 5 years, HHS and USDA publish the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the Nation’s go-to source for nutrition advice. The latest edition of the Dietary Guidelines reflects the current body of nutrition science, helps health professionals and policymakers guide Americans to make healthy food and beverage choices, and serves as the science-based foundation for vital nutrition policies and programs across the United States.
The key to losing weight is to burn more calories than you eat and drink. A diet can help you to do this through portion control. There are many different types of diets. Some, like the Mediterranean diet, describe a traditional way of eating from a specific region. Others, like the DASH eating plan or a diet to lower cholesterol, were designed for people who have certain health problems. But they may also help you to lose weight. There are also fad or crash diets that severely restrict calories or the types of food you are allowed to eat. They may sound promising, but they rarely lead to permanent weight loss. They also may not provide all of the nutrients your body needs.
In the past few months I gaind A LOT of weight (30lbs) and I’m freaking out!!! I tried to lose it, but I either fail or just give up. All my house eats is carbs and I’m not aloud to diet so I have to eat them 🙁 this is because my family doesn’t think I nedd to lose weight but I know that its better if I do. This weight gain stresses me out!! I’ve gotten so deppressed and my self esteem dropped a thousand feet because of it. Can you pleae help me……all I want is a nice fit body and to be able to fit into my cloths again. Email me some advise please? :'(
Whenever you can, eat organically grown or raised foods. Pesticides used in commercial farming can accumulate in your brain and body, even though the levels in each food may be low. Also, eat hormone-free, antibiotic-free meat from animals that are free-range and grass-fed. Grass-fed bison and beef are 30 percent lower in palmitic acid — the saturated fat associated with heart disease — than industrially raised beef (fed corn, soy, and pharmaceuticals, and restricted in movement).
The theory is our bodies were designed, and still optimized, to eat what our Paleolithic ancestors ate. Like your hunger-gatherer forefathers, on Paleo you get all the meat from wild animals and unlimited fruits and vegetables you can eat. But no starchy vegetables (like potatoes), no legumes (like lentils or beans), no wheat, and no grains (like quinoa or corn) because those plants were invented by human beings during the agricultural revolution after our Paleolithic ancestors left the planet. You get one cheat day where you can eat whatever you want (“Occasional cheating and digressions may be just what you need to help you stick to the diet.”) No oil because it puts omega 6 and omega 3 ratios out of whack which should never exceed 2:1, except olive oil if you must. Dairy is also prohibited. And meat must come from animals that weren’t fed grains (like corn) because grains lead to inflammation and increased fat.
This fiasco needs to end quickly - everyone is bored to death with the constant drip of never-ending Brexit stories. It must be obvious to any intelligent person that the EU and the UK are not likely to agree on a deal and we should now withdraw from further pretence of talks and opt for the No Deal option.The doom mongers have been proved wrong time and time again, and a clean break is very much in the interests of the UK. This is a divorce and the sooner the UK can get on with its new life the better.
So as you read, keep in mind that these diff erent levels exist; that no matter where you’re coming from, there’s plenty of room for you on this path. Whether it takes you 2 weeks or 10 years to make my delicious rice crispy treats matters not a jot. It’s your path, based on what you think and feel while reading this book. You will know what’s right for you.
“The American Heart Association recommends that men eat less than 36 grams of added sugar and that women consume less than 24 grams. However, for optimal weight loss, I tell my male clients to consume less than 20 grams of sugar per day and I tell the women to consume less than 15 grams.The easiest way to cut back on the sweet stuff is by consuming less sugary drinks and dressings. Cut the sugar, lose the fat, regain your health and life.” — Dr. Sean M. Wells, DPT, PT, OCS, ATC/L, CSCS
I have been following the slow-carb diet for nearly 3 weeks with no significant weight loss. I will admit I have made a few tweaks to fit my lifestyle. I go to the gym at 5:30am and do not have time or the desire to eat a big breakfast before going. So I normally make a whey protien shake with water and about 1/4 cup frozen berries (I know fruit is a no-no) when I get home from the gym at 7. I then eat breakfast – eggs, black beans and spinach at 10. Lunch is either a salad with beans or slice of deli turkey or chili. I have not eaten any grains, sweets etc… I do use milk in my coffee instead of heavy cream. Why is heavy cream a better choice? I do have a glass of red wine at night and an occasional serving of sugar free gelatin. I take a spin class 2-3 days a week and run 20 miles per week as I am training for a Ragnar Relay.
While cardio burns calories as you work out, strength training will help you burn more calories even while you rest. “The beautiful thing about strength training is that not only do you get sculpted and toned muscles, but the more muscle you have, the faster your metabolism is,” says Hoff. A faster metabolism means more calories burned, and in turn faster weight loss. Hoff says incorporating strength training two to three times a week is ideal. “No need for heavy weights; you can build muscle by using your own body weight and exercise bands.”
There are four phases to the plan, and the first one is severely restricted in carbohydrates. The induction phase lasts two weeks, and the claim is you can lose up to 15 pounds in this time. During this time you consume no more than 20 grams of carbohydrates per day. For example, one slice of bread has 15 grams of carbohydrates, one serving of fruit has 15 grams of carbohydrates, one serving of dairy has 12 grams of carbohydrates, and one serving of vegetables can have between 5 and 15 grams of carbohydrates. It's clear that 20 grams is extremely limited, potentially unhealthy, and would be very difficult to follow for the long-term.
I actually woke up this morning thinking that just as we plan our days, our social lives, our journeys so we need to really plan what we eat and – like a route map – and stick to it without deviation if we want to reach our goal. So that’s what I’m about to try. It is, however, all too easy, come the weekend, to be influenced by those around us who are not so bothered by their reflection in the mirror. But to be true to myself I am going to listen to my body and be strong in aiming for that end goal and not succumb to all those crisps with double gin and tonics(!), slices of toast with eggs for breakfast and snacks that I am given that I haven’t been in control of making. I’m going to ask if I am actually hungry or just bored or just being plain greedy. I will need to politely decline my husband’s pampering treats of cheese, pickle on brown bread – or offer to make a more healthy snack of my choice and making – crisp bread, crudités. Or perhaps I’ll simply half the snack and give my husband the other. I’ll listen to my body.
“It’s no big surprise, but my go-to weight loss tip is to eat more vegetables. They are the most low-calorie food you can consume, and they’re filled with health-boosting, satiating nutrients. From smoothies and eggs to soups, main and side dishes, they can fit in anywhere and boost volume and nutrition. If you want to eat more while still losing weight, veggies are your answer. —Laura Burak, RD, CDN
Hey Adam, it’s great to see you’re leading a healthy lifestyle and reaping the benefits of a good diet and exercise. My question is, what do you recommend for someone who isn’t overweight per se, but could still afford to lose a few pounds? I have less than 20 lbs that I need to lose before I get a flat stomach to start working on my abs. I’m a taller guy (above 6ft) if that makes any difference. What kind of exercise should I be doing?
I am 22 and recently lost about 20 pounds. I have been jogging 2-6miles 5-6 days a week, usually in the morning. I lift light weights and do p90x when I have free time after work. I have been struggling to lose the last 5 pounds for 2 weeks now. My diet is mostly plant based, but I usually eat a normal dinner. I wouldnt say my diet is strict but I am always in calorie range. Any advice to lose my last few pounds I have been struggling to lose?
The Pritikin diet is a very low-fat, high-carbohydrate eating plan. The focus is to eat vegetables, fruits, and high-fiber grains. Fats should not exceed 10% of total daily calories. Nathan Pritikin's diet is based on the theory of eating low-fat, low-calorie, plant-based foods to promote weight loss and improve or prevent heart disease. The revised Pritikin diet includes a "Calorie Density Solution:" Consume low-calorie dense foods (for example, apples, brown rice) until full, six to seven times daily. Eating low-calorie foods throughout the day will reduce hunger and cause weight loss.
Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health, or physical fitness, refers to a reduction of the total body mass, due to a mean loss of fluid, body fat or adipose tissue or lean mass, namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon, and other connective tissue. Weight loss can either occur unintentionally due to malnourishment or an underlying disease or arise from a conscious effort to improve an actual or perceived overweight or obese state. "Unexplained" weight loss that is not caused by reduction in calorific intake or exercise is called cachexia and may be a symptom of a serious medical condition. Intentional weight loss is commonly referred to as slimming. | <urn:uuid:342cc1b7-7b16-4d1b-9532-8c46a55452be> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://jka323.com/weightloss/pure-gym-coventry-offers-puregym-bayswater-contact.html | 2019-07-18T17:31:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.95713 | 3,140 |

NUTRITION INFORMATION – HANOIAN STREET FOOD AND LOCAL SPECIALITIES
Another classic in the Hanoian cuisine are Bún Riêu Cua and Bún Ốc.
Most common you will find both dishes served in the same food stall or restaurant, both come with a similar tomato based broth, with a slight sour taste that is both fresh and light.
There are two main varations, either served as Bún Riêu Cua with fresh-water crabs or as Bún Ốc with fresh-water snails. Crabs and snails are actually quite similar in terms of calories and macronutrients. They are both a good and inexpensive source of protein, low in fat and contain almost no carbs.
The crabs are first shredded raw and after that the meat is boiled together with the shells. Due to that process the dish will be high in calcium which is emitted from the shells. On the other hand snails are naturally high in iron. So both variations are actually rich in micronutrients. Even though crabs and snails are similar in terms of calories and macronutrients, Bún Ốc will be slighty higher in calories and fat since in most common the snails are pan fried after cooking.
Besides your main choice of having crabs or snails, there is a big selections of additional ingredients offered to be added to your dish.
Very often a small portion of tofu is added, which would be a good source of protein, but unfortunately the tofu is fried as well, so it will also be high in fat.
Also available are some meaty options, that can be short boiled lean beef (thịt bò tái) or lean pork sausage (giò lụa). Even though the sausage is made from lean pork it will be a bit higher in fat and calories compared to the beef option.
And of course the dish itself will always be high in carbs, offering a decent amount of noodles per serving, but more unfortunate also coming from a fair amount of pure sugar added to the broth for seasoning. Unfortunately this goes for most local noodle dishes served with broth.
Please find all detailed nutritional facts and further information in the table attached.
I hope the information in the Hanoian Street Food and Local Specialties series remains being helpful for you, please contact me any time if you have any further questions. | <urn:uuid:4c8708fb-25eb-4571-82e4-00f4b5c6fb23> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://mattspt.com/2017/11/05/bun-rieu-cua-and-bun-oc/ | 2019-07-18T17:34:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.961109 | 511 |

Here's a good thing to know: A collection agency must stop calling you if you send them a letter requesting that they stop. After that, they're permitted one additional call or letter to inform you that they will cease contact, or that they are about to initiate legal action. But an end to the calls doesn't mean an end to your debt.
Usually, at first contact, the collector provides the specifics of your debt, including the amount you owe and the creditor to whom you owe it. If not, he or she must send you a written notice within five days. If you dispute any portion of the debt, or disagree with any of the information provided, you have up to 30 days to request a debt validation. If you don't do so within 30 days, the collector will consider your debt valid.
It's often wise to request a validation even if you find no reason to disagree. A validation gives legal proof that the amount of your debt is correct and that the collection agency has been authorized to collect it. Collectors must reply to requests for validation within 30 days.
Your debt may be valid, and the debt collector may be authorized to collect it, but this doesn't mean that the collector's information is 100 percent accurate. A collector's records may state that you owe more debt than you actually do. The collector may lack records of payment. Occasionally, a collector might confuse you with somebody else.
If you dispute your debt, send a letter outlining your dispute to the collection agency within 30 days. (You can see some examples at the PrivacyRights.org Web site). Once the agency receives your letter, all collection efforts must stop until an investigation is conducted.
It might be necessary to sue the collection agency if disputes with your collector can't be resolved, or if you believe the collector has violated the law. You may first want to register a complaint with the FTC, your state Attorney General or Consumer Protection Office, or the American Collectors Association. These agencies have limited resources and usually don't engage in lawsuits except in the most extreme cases of FDCPA violation. Nevertheless, it's a good idea to have officially registered a complaint before proceeding with a lawsuit.
The FDCPA provides guidelines for legal action against collection agencies. If successful, you may receive the amount of damages plus up to $1,000; the collector may also be liable for attorney fees and court costs. The National Association of Consumer Advocates can help you locate an attorney who specializes in such cases.
The best way to avoid dealing with collection agencies is to pay your bills on time. But that's not always possible. We may be beyond the era of poorhouses and debtors' prisons, but financial hardship is not unique to any era. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act provides you at least some protection.

The History of Four Catholic Prayers
Jesus Taught Us How to Pray The Our Father
“Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
‘Your kingdom come.
‘Give us this day our daily bread.
‘And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. ‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours
Matthew 6: 9-13
Jesus taught us the Lord’s Prayer. Since it was actually taught by Our Lord, this is a Christian’s most important prayer. It is significant to understand that His instructions were for His followers. It was not a prayer that Jesus, Himself, prayed. Why? Because the prayer asks for forgiveness of sins and Jesus had no need to ask this. He was sinless.
So, our first Christian prayer came from Christ but from where did all the other beautiful prayers come?
Hail Mary or the Angelic Salutation
The Hail Mary is said to be divided into three parts. The first part is taken from the greeting of the Archangel Gabriel in the Annunciation (Luke 1:28 ~ And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women). The second part is taken from Elizabeth’s greeting to Mary at the Visitation (Luke 1:42 ~And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb). To honor and clarify Jesus as “the fruit of thy womb,” His name was added to the second part about two centuries later. It is believed that it was Pope Urban IV who added it. There are theologians who say that the Hail Mary is divided into four parts, with the name of Jesus being part three.Part four, or the petition part of the prayer (“Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”), was added in the mid 1500’s and was considered complete and “framed by the Church,” by the Council of Trent (1545-1563). After the publication of the Catechism of the Council of Trent, it was included in the Roman Breviary of 1568.
Hail Mary ~ The Catechism of the Catholic Church
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, in reference to the Hail Mary, (2677) Holy Mary, Mother of God: With Elizabeth we marvel, “And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” Because she gives us Jesus, her son, Mary is Mother of God and our mother; we can entrust all our cares and petitions to her: she prays for us as she prayed for herself: “Let it be to me according to your word.” By entrusting ourselves to her prayer, we abandon ourselves to the will of God together with her: “Thy will be done.”Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death: By asking Mary to pray for us, we acknowledge ourselves to be poor sinners and we address ourselves to the “Mother of Mercy,” the All-Holy One. We give ourselves over to her now, in the Today of our lives. And our trust broadens further, already at the present moment, to surrender “the hour of our death” wholly to her care. May she be there as she was at her son’s death on the cross. May she welcome us as our mother at the hour of our passing to lead us to her son, Jesus, in paradise.
Soul of Christ, Sanctify Me ~ The Anima Christi
This magnificent prayer takes its name from its Latin incipit, meaning “Soul of Christ”.
Soul of Christ, sanctify me Body of Christ, save me Blood of Christ, inebriate me Water from the side of Christ, wash me Passion of Christ, strengthen me O good Jesus, hear me Within Thy wounds hide me Suffer me not to be separated from Thee From the malignant enemy defend me In the hour of my death call me And bid me come unto Thee That with all thy saints I may praise Thee Forever and ever Amen
As Catholics, we are blessed with a wealth of beautiful prayers. The Anima Christi is one of my favorites. Each line draws you in more deeply than the line before and by the time you have prayed the last line you find yourself in the midst of the angels praising Our Lord. The first time I prayed the Anima Christi, I literally saw each line. It is a visual prayer and each time I prayed it, I thought, “This prayer is a painting.” It was difficult for me to figure out how to create the painting because, in my mind, each line was a painting unto itself. I continued praying it, each time being drawn more deeply into it and trusting that eventually, God would tell me how to get the entire prayer on one canvas. After a few years and many lessons, I painted the Anima Christi as I felt it, rather than how I saw it. I guess my experience is just a small example of the ways in which prayer can affect our lives.
Saint Ignatius Loyola was so fond of this prayer that he placed it at the beginning of his “Spiritual Exercises” and often quoted it. Because of this, many believe it was written by him but, in fact, it was not. The prayer appears in a document from 1334, many years before his birth in 1491. Its authorship is uncertain but likelihoods go to Pope John XXII who, in the year 1330, heightened its holiness by adding indulgences for those who pray it.
“Let the sick man enter into the Side of Jesus and His most holy Wounds; let him not be afraid, but combat manfully, and he will come forth victorious.” ~Saint Philip Neri~
Memorare ~ the Latin Word for Remember
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your clemency, hear and answer me. Amen
The Memorare is a prayer that expresses our confidence in Our Blessed Mother’s intercession.
This prayer is often credited to the well-known 12th-century Cistercian monk, Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. Although he had a great devotion to Our Lady, this credit is incorrect. The error came about because of confusion with another monk whose name was also Bernard, the French priest Claude Bernard (17th century).
Father Bernard had a great fondness for the prayer and frequently used it in his ministry to the poor and to prisoners.
He said that he learned it from his father. Father Bernard attributed being cured of a serious illness to his constantly praying the Memorare. In an effort to promote the prayer, during his lifetime, he had printed over 200,000 copies in different languages.
At the feet of your Holiness, most sweet Virgin Mary
The words of the Memorare, as we know it today, are a section of a much longer prayer, “Ad sanctitatis tuae pedes, dulcissima Virgo Maria” which translated is “At the feet of your Holiness, most sweet Virgin Mary.” The modern prayer was written in the 15th century.
Considering that Saint Bernard died in 1153, it can be concluded that the true author of the prayer is unknown.

The 34-year-old Nakota/Chippewa Cree, a former gang member and heavy drug user, now travels across the country trying to keep Native youth on the straight and narrow. Smoke is a motivational speaker and hip hop artist. He’s one of the main attractions of the 2011 Rezolution Tour, which is expected to have at least 250 shows across the United States this year.
“It’s all about the resolution of the problems we are facing on the rez,” he says of the tour.
Smoke, whose company is called RezHeadz Entertainment, believes he’s found the perfect way to get in touch with today’s Native youth. And that’s through hip hop music, a passion for many young people living on reservations.
During his tour events, Smoke touches on numerous topics. He preaches about the importance of education and setting goals. And how kids can dedicate themselves to something they love and how to persevere.
He also runs team-building exercises, and even business seminars, having seen many Native youth receive grants only to spend the money quickly, instead of investing it wisely to help their futures.
“It’s been amazing,” Smoke says of his 2011 tour. “Since January 1 we’ve been on the go the whole time.”
Smoke is confident he’s making a difference. “Through my story I can also inspire change in the lives of young people,” he says. He has been clean—as in drug-free—for 13 years now. He never had a problem with alcohol and was not much of a drinker in his previous life, but he was heavy drug user between the ages of 14-20.
He was also a gang member for most of his teenage years, and as a result, he was incarcerated a few times during his youth. “It was various things,” he says of the charges which landed him in jail. “Mostly just dumb kid stuff. It was mostly being a kid in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was stuff like being in possession of stolen property. And then there was grand theft auto. And there were drug charges. And sometimes it was for breaking probation.”
How did he break out of the downward spiral? “My children are what changed my life,” he says. He and his wife Melissa have six children—three girls, three boys—whose ages ranges from two to 10. Smoke’s wife also plays an integral role on the Rezolution Tour as she’s also a motivational speaker. Her talks focus on issues such as teen pregnancy, drug and alcohol abuse, self respect, self worth and decision making skills.
Despite his past, Smoke is not surprised to see where he is today, trying to do good and inspire as many people as possible. “Deep down in my heart I knew it was possible,” he says of his hectic lifestyle. “I think it was a fear to succeed though.” He started his life as a motivational speaker in 2008, when he talked at about 50 events throughout the U.S. Since then, he’s spoken at over 200 events each year.
As for his nickname, Smoke says there’s a rather simple story behind it: “Our people used smoke as a messenger for years and years and years in our culture. Before Facebook, Myspace, the postal service and pony express, people used smoke as a messenger. I consider myself a messenger. So just as we used smoke to send messages years before I think Smoke is also a messenger today.” | <urn:uuid:0d4b40c2-416c-451e-99ee-782d1004513b> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://newsmaven.io/indiancountrytoday/archive/smoke-sending-the-message-to-rez-youth-UtJuI6tTAUiP1bj0TH9_kQ/ | 2019-07-18T18:13:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.989465 | 765 |

A New Menace
Roger A. Price
Newly retired from the Serious and Organised Crime Agency, John Burrows is shocked to be called back by his old bosses for one last job. And not just any job – he's on the tail of his old adversary, the infamous Jonny Moon, a dangerous and volatile criminal who will stop at nothing to get his own way.
When a civilian is kidnapped and tortured by Moon's associates after a botched surveillance operation, Burrows knows he's in deep water. Not only must he track down Moon and deal with a mole in the ranks, he must do all this without Moon finding out who he is. Or who his partner, Jane Lee, is – the officer who, last time they met, showed him that he's not invincible.
A New Menace is a taut thriller, an exciting tale of covert surveillance, lies, deception and double agents. | <urn:uuid:d680125c-9608-4be6-8e43-078ce93212a6> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://pegasuspublishers.com/books/mystery/a-new-menace | 2019-07-18T17:26:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.973183 | 186 |

Many special effects teams working on film productions use
this fluid. It is ideal for situations where there could be
a problem with
smoke rising too quickly. It is also ideal to produce
a burst of steam effect, nitrogen bursts etc.
This fluid can also be used with the LSG, Dry Icer or FreezeFog
and dissipates twice as quickly as molecular fluid.
In a normal temperature room it disperses within
5 - 10 seconds from exiting the smoke machine after a short
burst. Longer bursts will take longer to disperse, and when
there is a high concentration of smoke in the air, it will
take even longer. Air movement in the room makes the smoke
disperse quicker, as does warmer ambient temperatures.

Facebook is the villain and finally people know it.
About 250 pages of highly confidential documents and company emails that shed light on Facebook’s attitude towards its customers, were released by a British lawmaker this week. But before we dive into that, let’s take a step back and remember Facebook’s first big public scandal.
Last March, the New York Times, along with the Guardian and the Observer in London, uncovered documents proving that the political data firm Cambridge Analytica had improperly acquired data from Facebook. Aleksandr Kogan, a data scientist, had developed an app and given the user data information to Cambridge Analytica. Facebook allowed this app to not only collect data from the app users, but also their friends, resulting in Cambridge Analytica acquiring data from millions of different Facebook users.

The following is a summary of SSAA National CEO Tim Bannister’s report to the SSAA National AGM held in Darwin earlier this year.
SSAA National has been getting on with the job of promoting the sport of shooting and ethical sustainable hunting while maintaining a sound financial base. In addition, 2016 saw the largest ever disbursement of funds to SSAA branches while simultaneously investing in a new National Adelaide headquarters housing media and research staff with the ability to host board meetings.
Communications and Promotions
Our partnership with Hunting the Menu (HTM) video producers has continued in the past 12 months and taken the shape of six 30-minute hunting and cooking episodes aired on a variety of television stations as well as SSAA TV. The television show is book-ended by the SSAA logo and a subsequent 30-second ‘Join the SSAA’ advertisement.
Our printed and electronic media are in constant evolution and continue to be improved and analysed. Our website has undergone a homepage redesign. The Australian Shooter and the Australian Hunter magazines have both had modernised layout updates and our Facebook sites are growing in reach. The SSAA Legislative Action (SSAA-LA) E-newsletter informs members of our political activities and the SSAA National E-newsletter provides electronic updates on other matters.
One of our largest activities in 2016 was supporting the Conservation through Sustainable Use of Wildlife conference. Two years in the planning, the conference brought together speakers and academics from across the world to engage in meaningful discussion. The talks potentially provide the basis of academic literature for a new generation of wildlife managers.
As discussed at last year’s National AGM, we launched the ‘This is Shooting’ campaign in April 2016. This was our opportunity to showcase the shooting sports in a positive light to the media, the public and, of course, to our members. The short video documentary and its preview edition featured on SSAA TV and paired with the foldout cover April Australian Shooter magazine featuring a reflective story on the various types of shooting and their appeal to people of all abilities, gender and age.
On the tailwinds of the Rio Olympic Games, we agreed to co-sponsor with Beretta Australia a #IAMASHOOTER promotion and a billboard featuring Olympic gold medal winner Catherine Skinner, which gathered media interest and praise from members.
The SSAA SHOT Expos continue to be a huge drawcard for shooters and a further opportunity to publicise the Association, while the SSAA Communication Forum provided an opportunity to self-analyse our strategies and who we are as a federation of associations.
Membership growth for 2016 was positive and as of February 2017 we have 182,253 members. Our Membership, Store and Accounting office in Sydney continues to be very capably run.
The SSAA Gun Sales website was rolled out in 2016. A skittish and alarmist media provided quite a lot of free publicity, believing it was the first of its kind in Australia. The site even featured on the front page of a Tasmanian newspaper in June. To date, SSAA Gun Sales has attracted more than 1600 firearms and accessories listings. As an additional member benefit, we provide SSAA members with a 50 per cent discount on their advertisements.
SSAA Members Firearms Insurance is also growing in popularity as a member benefit and the Insurance Brokerage itself continues to build on its reputation as ‘The shooters’ broker’.
The past 18 months can be described as ‘the good, the bad and the ugly’ of firearms politics. We have had some positive interactions, however the hysterical media and anti-gun lobby reaction to the Adler A110 lever-action shotgun can certainly be described in the latter terminology. The issue dominated the media headlines and even obscured the NFA review. SSAA National President Geoff Jones and I met on numerous occasions with Federal Justice Minister Michael Keenan, the Firearms and Weapons Policy Working Group and Attorney-General senior bureaucrats.
As we now know, the revised document is little more than a merging of the original 1996 firearms and the 2002 handgun-specific regulations. The promise was to cut red tape and to even provide a preamble recognising the legitimacy of recreational shooting and its community benefits. The initial relaunch of the electronic document contained a glaring error in regard to handgun competitions. We contacted the Justice Minister’s office and demanded it be changed that day. We also informed the office that many of the ambiguities that remain in the revised document would lead to rumours about increased restrictions and punitive regulations.
It is imperative that we all stay vigilant in how the authorities interpret the revised NFA to ensure there are not further restrictions placed on the shooting sports. The review was a long and drawn-out affair, with senior bureaucrats in charge of the review removed two-thirds the way into the analysis. Political gamesmanship by Labor was a feature of the period. The deals and denials of deals made national news, putting firearm laws front and centre of the Australian public.
Ultimately, the revised NFA document was released on a weekend without fanfare or media statement. The government underestimated the complexity of a revision and its ability to get the states in common agreement on policy.
A ‘good’ outcome of the past 12 months has been the continued communication-sharing with the firearms industry and politicians, in particular Bridget McKenzie and David Leyonhjelm. We also built upon relationships with politicians and their staff by co-hosting a Parliamentary Friends of Shooting social in Federal Parliament in Canberra and a hands-on shooting day at the SSAA ACT Majura Range.
Social and Community Actions
Through the engagement with various sections of the community, we can build our reputation and gain ‘social licence’. Projects that we continue to be involved in include the:
- Quoll release sponsorship in the Ikara-Flinders Ranges, South Australia;
- Cat trap sponsorship;
- Academic bursary program;
- Support of the Conservation and Wildlife Research Trust, which has now gained tax-deductibility status;
- Conservation through Sustainable Use of Wildlife conference and its book production;
- SSAA Farmer Assist program; and
- Chital deer research. | <urn:uuid:5f5a0206-c8ce-4d19-a562-e31dd16e1724> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://ssaa.org.au/members/member-announcements/2017-ssaa-national-ceo-report | 2019-07-18T18:16:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.955615 | 1,276 |
Hermann at my side seemed to me a shadow.
Fantastic (albeit lengthy) name for a greener than green scent.
Blackcurrant buds, black pepper, galbanum, calypsone, geosmin, frankincense, pepper wood, petalia, rose absolute, patchouli, ambroxan.
Hermann A Mes Cotes Me Paraissait Une Ombre (which shall henceforth be known in this review as Hermann) takes its inspiration from the Victor Hugo poem “What Two Horsemen Were Thinking In The Forest” and on their website, Etat Libre d’Orange pose the rather interesting question “Who goes beside you into the forest on the darkest night?” and it is surely this fragrance that they intend as the answer.
Hermann opens with deep, dark greenery. It’s a verdant forest we have wandered into; leathery leaves and pine needles brushing your face as if you have just emerged into Narnia. The sky is obscured, instead you are hemmed in by greens and browns on all sides. You can smell the sap of the plants as they break beneath your feet, the loam, the mud. It’s so fresh, so utterly realistic and natural smelling that you will be forgiven for losing yourself in the woods.
Hermann is relatively linear as fragrances go, but there is something really haunting about the composition which we have found hard to shift. Whilst at Esxence this year, we happened to pick it up from the wide range of bottles on the Etat Libre d’Orange stand, and whilst some of the others were lovely, it is Hermann that has managed to lodge itself in the brain and refuses to be budged.
Once the scent has had chance to settle on skin it feels like it starts to grow roots and insinuate itself around you. There’s a cucumber-like greenness, in equal parts bitter and sweet, and this lurking freshness that feels as if the forest has just had the dousing of a rain shower moments before. Right at the back of an inhalation there’s something that smells a little like mint which gives the illusion of clear, cool air. It’s autumn in the world that Hermann inhabits, the nights are drawing in and there is a chill about them.
Once the fragrance was fully established, we were able to discern a peppery tone and the most wonderful, loamy earthiness which again smells thoroughly realistic. If you close your eyes and inhale you can start to feel the mud moving slightly under the leather of your boots, you can practically hear the rain dripping from leaves and boughs and you can smell the mossy, woody greenery all about you. This fragrance is the scent equivalent of the colour palette of dense woodland.
There’s an interesting sweetness that plays about in the fragrance at times, especially further along into the wear. It calls to mind fresh plant growth. This works beautifully alongside a delicate wet pebbles nuance that is observable when you really sit and study the scent. There’s even the idea of some leathery boots thrown in for good measure. It is easy to imagine that you are sat by a stream in the deepest, darkest woodland, hearing the water babbling its own secrets.
Despite the forestry tones, this isn’t a threatening scent. This doesn’t feel like the sort of forest where witches and wolves and things that go bump in the night will scrobble you. Instead it feels very natural, restorative, and calming but under all that is this haunting quality that is beguiling and addictive. It could be the rose absolute play here, but it is hard to say if this comes from one note alone or a combination. Either way it adds just a little piquancy to the scentscape to stop it being too trite. Or maybe this is Etat referencing the pull that nature holds over all of us, and urging us to get back to it?
Etat Libre d’Orange are masters of the illusory art of fragrance, and in Hermann they have managed to conjure a forest very convincingly. Wear this when you need to escape from the urban commute and return to your roots.
The other stuff
Hermann is a very strange fragrance which some days feels as if it sticks around forever and others feels like it is gone in a flash. On average the longevity is moderate, sticking about for 4-5 hours or so.
Projection of this scent was also moderate. We felt that it went to under handshake distance, but further than hugging distance.
Hermann sat more towards the stereotypically masculine end of the spectrum, but as always wear whatever you like whoever you are.
We felt that if you liked Herman you may also enjoy PG 9.1 Komorebi or Eiderantler from January Scent Project.
Etat Libre d’Orange are an eccentric and provocative brand. They make scents which always feel left-of-the-middle if not downright transgressive. They’re interesting, avant guard and out there. Constantly surprising, but not always easy to wear, these are fragrances for the bold and the bonkers.
Hermann is available from Bloom Perfumery London, where it is priced at £120 for 100ml EdP or £85 for 50ml. Bloom very kindly gave us a no-strings-attached sample of this scent.
The fragrance is also available from the Etat Libre d’Orange web boutique. | <urn:uuid:4f5a8e1c-8cd7-4688-baaf-ee450aead2a2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://the-sniff.com/2019/07/04/hermann-a-mes-cotes-me-paraissait-une-ombre-by-etat-libre-dorange/ | 2019-07-18T17:25:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.942655 | 1,173 |
Description - The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.
By her brother's graveside, Liesel's life is changed when she picks up a single object, partially hidden in the snow. It is The Gravedigger's Handbook, left there by accident, and it is her first act of book thievery. So begins a love affair with books and words, as Liesel, with the help of her accordion-playing foster father, learns to read. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor's wife's library, wherever there are books to be found.
But these are dangerous times. When Liesel's foster family hides a Jewish fist-fighter in their basement, Liesel's world is both opened up, and closed down.

LANGUAGE has started vying for inclusion in the small set of problems that compete for the title of the ‘biggest’ problem in Pakistan holding back development with the implied suggestion that solving this one problem would set most other things right in the country.
This small set includes overpopulation, corruption, illiteracy, and secularism. A rising tide of opinion now claims that if only we could make the ‘correct’ choice of language we would emerge as a strong nation in the modern world.
Only a little reflection is needed to debunk such one-dimensional arguments. Take just one example, that of overpopulation. Shouldn’t one ask why China and India, with over five times the population of Pakistan, have developed so much faster? Why did the development of Pakistan not take off like a rocket after it shed half its population in Bangladesh? Why is Balochistan, the least populated province in Pakistan, also the least developed?
The language debate must be an inclusive one.
A great deal of similar confusion on language stems from not realising that it has very distinct functions in society. Take only three that are extremely important in Pakistan today — language as a glue to cement nationhood, as a necessity for participatory development, and as a medium of instruction in education.
Consider nationhood. While it is true that no nation can become stronger just by having a ‘correct’ official language, it does not follow that nationhood cannot be weakened by having an ‘incorrect’ one. For proof, recall the contribution of imposing an ‘incorrect’ language on East Pakistan which not only weakened the nation but split it asunder.
The choice of language to build nationhood needed a lot more thought and discussion in 1947 than it was given. The situation was particularly complex but, as the example of India shows, more intelligent alternatives were available. In any case, this remains an issue best addressed through the democratic process. Citizens can decide whether they agree on a common official language for Pakistan. If not, some other formula needs to be found.
Regarding development, it is hard to imagine socially meaningful progress occurring in a country without an inclusive dialogue. How can there be a shared vision if the state continues to conduct its business in a language that so few understand? Take, for example, the campaign for the MDGs that consumed enormous sums in five-star talk-a-thons. How can citizens participate when there is not even a semi-comprehensible translation of the title in any local language? When officials speak in important forums do we want citizens to follow what they are saying? It is this concern that motivated the Supreme Court to mandate Urdu for official purposes. Whether it should be Urdu or Urdu and other regional languages is again a choice that needs analysis and democratic resolution.
As an educationist, I believe a critical function of language is as the medium of instruction which bears on the cognitive ability of successive generations and thereby on the future of the country. The fact that this is yet to be addressed seriously in Pakistan borders on criminality as it has impaired the ability of millions whose parents set aside scarce resources hoping to educate their children.
Here the evidence is overwhelming — early learning, which provides the foundation on which later learning is acquired, takes place best in the language spoken in the home. This does not imply a binary choice between one language and another that has become the staple of partisan polemic in Pakistan. The emphasis is on early education which is followed by appropriate changes in the medium of instruction over the years depending on the needs of students.
There is lot to go on for those seeking a rational approach to the issue. Many multi-national countries have evolved bilingual and trilingual sequences for sound school education. In such countries people still manage to acquire good English despite early education in a different language. This should discredit the rhetoric that education in any language other than English would close the door to the modern world. Had this been even remotely true, South Asian countries would have advanced much faster than East Asian ones.
It is important to realise that education in Pakistan, like in many developing countries, is a highly contentious ideological and political issue. Its problems, largely of content and pedagogy, are not amenable to technocratic remedies but confusion on the importance of the medium of instruction does little to help.
We need vigorous, open, inclusive, and participatory discussion on the issue of language followed by democratic decision-making. It would help towards this end to separate the various functions of language and be open to the possibility that each might call for a different formula and compromise.

Teeth are the Tools that we use to break complex experiences apart and get them to a condition where we can really understand them
Teeth are the tools which we use to process food at the most initial point of entry into the body. As such, chewing is connected to making information and life experience digestible. This is part of the process where we break complex experiences apart and get them to a condition where we can really understand them.
Teeth are hard. It often takes some strength to face the more confusing or difficult situations and get them in order. Then we can deal with the constituents one at a time.
Each tooth represents a different angle of addressing a problem. When we put the upper teeth together with the lower teeth, this is akin to addressing a challenge from two different angles at the same time in order to put a perspective on it.
We can think of teeth like the tools of logic, reason, understanding, comprehension, synthesis, analysis, feeling and even intuition. After all, the mouth is quite a sensitive feeling space.
Water is the element which predominates in the mouth and the sense of taste is associated with water. So we can say that the mouth is one of the seats of water in the body.
Water represents feelings, as in emotions. So, one of the ways in which we analyze our world is through our emotional responses to it. Because of this, we can develop problems in the mouth if there is a disconnect between how we feel about the world and the way we have been trained to understand it within our belief systems.
The mouth is also home to an amazing microbiome of bacteria. As such, this level of the mouth’s reality must be taken into account with any healing in this area. For example, there is a secondary chakra in the mouth, which usually requires clearing if there are health problems or problems with food choices.
Finally, the act of chewing itself is related to the way that the mind processes information. Every thought is like a single bite. Subsequently, we process life experience in the mind in the same way that the mouth processes and breaks food down into accessible components.

- Prevention of illness and overcoming adversity boils down to how we deal with stress.
- There is a secret chamber in the heart area where the deepest seed common to all stresses resides.
- Creating a loop which curls from Being to the causal body and back again, over and over,establishing a habit of awareness returning spontaneously to Source every time a challenge presents itself, without exception.
- We are courageously penetrating the sacred inner chamber of the heart with our awareness and standing firm in Wholeness.
- This healing will be unfolding in a sequential nature, gracefully over the next little while and support a great open flow of healing energies from the heart to every part of the body in need of healing.
In my opinion, prevention of illness and overcoming adversity boils down to how we deal with stress. Energy healing looks to the seed or core of suffering to efficiently eliminate it. The core or seed of suffering can be understood as stress. How we deal with stress determines how that stress affects us on all levels. The first few moments are especially crucial to set the tone for how the whole event will play out. Initial response is based upon beliefs, habits and programming. The mouth represents the first stop on the path of breaking down experience.
Each tooth is associated with some part of the body. I selected the chart below because of its clarity. However, all the body organs have an association with one tooth or another. The whole body is reflected in the mouth.
Furthermore, the chamber of the mouth represents the whole universe, and the whole spectrum of life–from gross to subtle to unmanifest. The mouth has the ability to express the inexpressible through the production of a vast range of sounds, syllables, and consonants. In particular, I am thinking about first sounds to emerge from the silent Source of creation. As these initial sounds emerge, they provide a context for the mouth to understand itself as a perfect expression of Totality.
Optimal blood flow, life force, light medicines and a flower of life matrix are establishing in the mouth. Meridians from the heart to the mouth are opening. From these meridians, clearing discordant feelings, disgust, anger, and especially rejection. The energy meridians to each tooth are filling with vibrant energy. Sincere love and gratitude for the unique role of each tooth is flowing to the mouth from the heart area. What looks like very bright, white devas from the causal level of the body are flowing up. They seem to originate in the abdomen and travel up through the torso, to rest in the mouth. These bright energies carry happiness. Also the movement of this very subtle energy through the body activates the production of extremely fine light medicines.
I am noticing how generous everyone’s body is. I am noticing how personal appreciation for the ability to manifest angelic forms causes the spontaneous production of tender feelings which nurture and uphold those very high vibration forms. It is as if your body is creating a ‘cozy’ home for the angelic energies which are manifesting to heal the mouth. As this relationship evolves, more happiness is produced. Also with this happiness there is a natural sense of safety, comfort, a feeling that ‘all is well.’
If we address the seed of stress before it manifests as a problem, we eliminate the potential for that problem to come into being. To do this, we are first clearing blind spots from the heart area. There is a secret chamber in the heart area where the deepest seed common to all stresses resides. This seed is a collective phenomenon, affecting the whole family of humanity. At this time of history, this malevolent seed creates suffering. This causes each person, as an expression of Divine Being, to respond by speeding up evolution. We have blind spots because attention to this seed of malevolence is intensely displeasing. If we don’t look, it plays its hand anyway. So, as nasty as it is, we may as well look and heal. From the perspective of Totality, nothing is really displeasing anyway. Everything has a place. Stabilizing the 112 point matrix in the 4, 5, 6 and 7 chakras. Creating a loop which curls from the Seat of Being to the causal body and back again, over and over. This loop is establishing a habit of awareness returning spontaneously to Source every time a challenge presents itself, without exception.
There is a saying, ‘Avert the danger which has not yet come.’ This is the theme of this healing. We are courageously penetrating the sacred inner chamber of the heart with our awareness. We are tenderly allowing the seed of deepest darkness to reveal itself. We are standing firm in Wholeness as this happens, thus allowing that seed of darkness to be transformed by the almighty power of Wholeness/Divine Being.
For each person in this healing session, the experience of this process will be unfolding in a sequential nature, gracefully over the next little while. It is likely to be different for each one of us. The important thing is that this process continues in a way which is appropriate for the time and circumstances. It might take a little while, but will result in a very complete cleansing of the heart. This cleansing will support a great open flow of healing energies from the heart to every part of the body in need of healing.

There is a neat little add in tool called Inventor HSM engrave, which will create single line text, which can then be traced to create the engraving on the machined part.
Most people use AutoCAD to create the text with a simple font, and then explode the text to create single line geometry. After that the AutoCAD DWG file is imported onto the sketch of the Inventor model whilst in the 2D sketch. This gives you the geometry required to use the trace operation in Inventor HSM. However, this is a time consuming process, and the HSM add in is far more efficient.
To get the add in up and running, follow this simple process:
First you will need to download the Inventor HSM engrave tool: unzip and copy Autodesk.EngraveTextAddIn.Inventor.addin to C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Inventor 2017\Addins. Additionally, copy EngraveTextAddIn.dll, hsmworks_0.ttf and hsmworks_0_ORIG.ttf to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2017\Bin
After an Inventor HSM restart you should be able to see the following add-in at tools > add-ins.
Generate a new sketch, use points or edges to place the text.
Afterwards you could use a TRACE operation to engrave required text.

Future Proof: Keoghs Crisps managing director Tom Keogh
Development of premium snack food brand grew out of decline in demand for potatoes
Keoghs Crisps managing director Tom Keogh with supplier Michael O’Neill of O’Neills Irish Atlantic Sea Salt of the Beara Peninsula.
The Keoghs have been farming potatoes in north county Dublin for more than 200 years. A family operation, they supply field vegetables from “Dublin’s breadbasket” into the city. But as Ireland boomed in the early 2000s, potato farmers were struggling.
A triple whammy of Irish people developing a taste for ethnic food (based on rice, pasta and noodles), a growing view that spuds were an old-fashioned food (“something my grandparents used to eat”) and low-carb diet fads such as Atkins combined to devastate potato demand.
Between 2002 and 2012, potato consumption in Ireland fell by half. Keoghs’ sales dropped annually by 11-12 per cent.
“The writing was on the wall,” says Tom Keogh, managing director of Keoghs, “We needed to do something about it.”
The business had been through adversity before. Keogh’s grandfather was put out of business by the heavy rainfall in 1957-1958 and emigrated to Australia. When he returned, he became one of the first to commercially produce tomatoes in the State.
But the fuel crises in the late 1970s and early 1980s made the cost of growing tomatoes in Irish greenhouses prohibitive. Cheaper Spanish imports swamped the market and the Irish tomato-growing industry tanked.
The family increased its focus on field vegetables: cabbages, cauliflowers, sprouts, broccoli and potatoes. But again, cheap imports, this time from the UK – where producers had significant economies of scale – brought increased competition in the late 1980s.
“So my Dad, in an innovative move, started to wash potatoes in the early 1990s. It sounds so simple today but, back then, you couldn’t buy potatoes washed,” says Keogh.
When potato consumption began to haemorrhage in the early 2000s it was the next generation’s turn to innovate.
The family’s first response was to introduce a “cook-in-the-bag” potato product in 2007, whereby potatoes were washed, polished and put in a bag, ready to be microwaved.
“Today it’s one of our biggest-selling lines, and it really did turn around the drop in sales that we had seen,” says Keogh.
They then set about developing a family brand.
“That came from a little bit of insight from consumer research with Bord Bia, which showed us that people would buy into innovation from a farmer first, before they’d buy into innovation from a private label,” says Keogh.
The key element in the Keoghs’ response to struggling potato market came in the form of a shift downstream in their supply chain.
Keogh was at a family wedding in New York. “There was a huge Irish American attendance at the wedding and they all wanted to buy Irish potatoes,” he says. “So, I looked into this and found out there was 42 million Irish Americans on the [US] eastern seaboard. And if all these people wanted to eat Irish potatoes, my God, that was going to solve our Irish potato problem overnight.”
But conversations with the US FDA quickly put a dampener on those plans, as the US wouldn’t allow in raw produce. An official suggested cooking the potatoes.
Meanwhile, in the UK, the concept of “premium crisps” was just starting to emerge.
Eager to seize on both opportunities, the family set about filling the gap in the market. Four years of research and conversations with local ingredient suppliers later, the Keoghs artisan crisp brand was born.
The product launched at the height of the recession. Counterintuitively, says Keogh, this proved to be beneficial.
“Basically, people weren’t spending the money going to restaurants, they weren’t spending the money going out to bars. What they were doing was inviting friends over and having nights in at home,” he says.
“If you’re having nights in and entertaining people in the house, you’re going to spend money on premium snacks for the house. You won’t spend money on the restaurant meal, but you’ll spend money on nice snacks for the house.
So that growth in premium sharing snacks jumped – really jumped. I suppose it was the right product at the right time.”
Today, with a staff of 40-odd in north Dublin, Keoghs sells its crisps globally, with flavours ranging from “chorizo and cherry tomato” to “shamrock and sour cream”. A deal struck with Emirates earlier this year will see the brand placed in all the airline’s first-class cabins. And the interest of other airlines has been piqued.
The company is also looking to push into Middle Eastern markets and expand its US presence.
But competition at home remains tough, with Intersnack (Tayto, Hunky Dorys, Hula Hoops, etc) and Walkers still retaining the lion’s share of the market.
Fresh potatoes, though, remain the bigger part of the Keoghs overall business. And Irish people’s fondness for spuds seems to have returned. The decline in consumption ended in 2015. | <urn:uuid:22c97e36-37fc-4a16-90fb-75ee8c659ed0> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.irishtimes.com/business/agribusiness-and-food/future-proof-keoghs-crisps-managing-director-tom-keogh-1.3569204 | 2019-07-18T17:27:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.969546 | 1,200 |
Architecture, Daylighting & Lighting Design: Juan José Acosta
SOURCE Award 2016: Award of Recognition for Outstanding Energy Performance
El Ponce is a permanent residence for LGBT youth. These youngsters, mostly homeless, come from situations that leave them lacking an appropriate home structure that fosters personal self-acceptance and full personal development. Consequently, El Ponce steps in to create a home structure where the guests work in family-like situations: dividing chores, enjoying communal interaction, and having direct access to personal seclusion spaces when necessary.
The site is located at the top of El Vigía, a hill that overlooks the city of Ponce, in southern Puerto Rico. The transformation of El Ponce’s existing abandoned structure from a modernist hotel into a contemporary residence required a holistic approach that flipped its conceptions of spatial comprehension: spaces that were hidden in the hotel had to come to full light in the residence to support family-style living.
The project's main area is the first floor of the building, where a large common space and a series of more intimate rooms are the main enclaves. Next to those spaces is the open kitchen, where residents can prepare their meals in kitchen stations organized in an open plan under a vaulted ceiling structure.
The rooms feature a wooden exterior skin that allows the individual to control cross-ventilation, daylight penetration, and privacy by employing operable windows with deep horizontal members. | <urn:uuid:d687c718-3ed4-41e2-befc-408d27e14671> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.juanjoseacosta.com/el-ponce | 2019-07-18T17:05:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.929601 | 293 |

There are traditional methods for coping with stress, from relaxing in the tub to keeping a bullet journal, but according to the newest study, an effective way to bounce back from stress is to get your fill of foods rich in prebiotics.
While probiotics—those friendly gut bugs—are often lauded for their digestive benefits, prebiotics are less understood. WebMD defines prebiotics as “good carbohydrates that cannot be digested by the human body. They are food for probiotics, and their primary benefit along with probiotics is to help your body maintain a healthy digestive system.”
Researchers from the University of Colorado discovered that regular amounts of prebiotics in your diet can help promote a better balance of gut bacteria and help the body recover following a stressful event. Their study, which appeared in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, found that including prebiotics—from sources like asparagus, oatmeal, and legumes such as lentils and chickpeas—help our bodies resume normal sleeping patterns following a particularly stressful event.
“Acute stress can disrupt the gut microbiome,” Agnieszka Mika, MD, a lead author of the study told sciencedaily.com. “We wanted to test if a diet rich in prebiotics would increase beneficial bacteria as well as protect gut microbes from stress-induced disruptions. We also wanted to look at the effects of prebiotics on the recovery of normal sleep patterns, since they tend to be disrupted after stressful events.”
For the study, test rats were given a diet of prebiotics for several weeks prior to a stressful test condition. They were then compared against control rats that didn’t eat a prebiotic-rich diet. Researchers found that the rats that ate prebiotic foods prior to the stressful event didn’t demonstrate any stress-induced disruption in their gut and were able to resume healthier sleep patterns more quickly than the rats on the non-prebiotic diet.
Although the study was conducted on rats, the researchers say the results are applicable for humans. According to the study’s lead author, Robert Thompson, MD, “the stressor the rats received was the equivalent of a single intense acute stressful event for humans, such as a car accident or the death of a loved one.”
No adverse effects have been reported from the use of prebiotics, and with the non-digestible fiber found widely in many plants, breast milk and as commercial supplements, Dr. Mika encourages us to get our fill. These are the best foods you can eat to boost your good gut bacteria, because both probiotics and prebiotics are critical to a healthy microbiome, or gut bug community. | <urn:uuid:52a8c04f-b987-475c-b61d-23e3558c0d2c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.rd.com/health/wellness/prebiotics-for-stress/ | 2019-07-18T17:34:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.964607 | 562 |
Visualization is a very powerful tool, and you can use it to help your body heal. Visualization may also be called “guided imagery” or “creative visualization.” Using your imagination is easier than you might think. Children use their imagination every day, but as adults, we typically lose this ability over time. You use your imagination every time you daydream or get lost in thought.
By learning to take control of your imagination and by expanding it, you will feel much more calm and carefree and you can even visualize your way to better health.
Researchers believe that physical thoughts affect our health. Many ancient civilizations used mind-body techniques to harness the power of the imagination. Guided imagery is actually used in more than 3,000 hospitals nationwide, and it is a growing trend.
Guided imagery can help one feel better, alleviate pain, help one cope with the side effects of medication and even help someone overcome debilitating diseases.
There are many techniques one can use to heal the mind and body. One way is to imagine your body self-healing:
- You can begin with a simple progressive relaxation method, where you tighten and release each muscle of the body starting at the feet and working your way upward.
- Once this relaxed state is achieved, you can picture your pain or disease as dark spots in your body and visualize them being washed away by a peaceful, calming light.
- Imagine a blue or soft green light coming down through your body, swirling and touching the edges of the dark problem areas, removing toxins, waste and even unhealthy cells from your body.
- The breath can be very healing.
- Simply take two-three very deep breaths.
- Imagine the breath moving through your body, gathering up damaged cells.
- As you inhale, imagine your breath is cleaning your body.
- As you exhale, imagine the breath is carrying away toxins and disease.
- You can even imagine your exhaled breath as a dark gray color and your inhaled breath as a beautiful white color.
- Repeat until you feel your breath has cleansed your body.
- Take yourself to a very relaxing place and allow your body to let go and release strain and tension.
- See yourself on a beautiful beach, walking along in the warm, white sand.
- Feel the sea air and the warm sun.
- Imagine the light of the sun is healing your body.
- See the sun’s powerful rays moving through your body, purging your body of any illness or disease.
- Take yourself to that same relaxing place and use your imagination to dial down your pain.
- Imagine you have access to a large volume knob and see yourself dialing down your pain. If your pain is a 10, see yourself lowering your pain to a more manageable number, like a two or a three.
- You can also imagine your pain is being locked away in a steel box.
- See yourself gathering up your pain and locking it away and burying it.
- You could also send your pain up into a hot air balloon and watch it drift away.
- Imagine your cancer is like an army of invaders in your body.
- See yourself sending an army of soldiers into your body like angry Pac men.
- You could visualize these Pac men gobbling away your cancer and restoring you to perfect health.
The mind is a very powerful tool, and you can use it to help your body heal. Simply take a few deep breaths, close your eyes and use your imagination however you like. There is no limit to what you might be able to overcome. | <urn:uuid:5362329d-67f9-4e1a-aaba-f70ee3ff0def> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.reflectionway.com/meditation/5-ways-visualize-better-health/ | 2019-07-18T18:08:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525699.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718170249-20190718192249-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.932906 | 744 |

In the weeks leading up to my holiday, I really made a conscious effort to use up the little bits of products that I had left, particularly hair products. These are my current empties and I cannot wait to chuck the empty packages out!
Herbal Essences Breakage Defender Intensive Mask
This hair mask has seriously saved my hair this summer. I cannot rave about it enough, I’ve already bought another which screams volumes in my book, especially as I’m always testing out different products. I’ve written a full review here.
Aussie Colour Mate Shampoo and Conditioner
I’m a big fan of Aussie hair products, they’re fantastic quality particularly for the price. I’ve enjoyed using this shampoo and conditioner, it’s kept my hair clean and nourished and I love the peach scent that they both have. I haven’t noticed any prolonged life of my high and low lights though but I didn’t really expect that from the shampoo and conditioner, it’s more about keeping your hair clean so that your colour shines through. I’m pleased I tried these although I probably wouldn’t repurchase them unless my favourite Aussie shampoo and conditioner, Aussome Volume, weren’t on the shelf.
TIGI Bed Head Ego Boost
Ego Boost is a split end mender and leave in conditioner. It’s one of those products that I can take or leave. It doesn’t work miracles, it doesn’t float my boat and in all honesty, I very much doubt I’d ever repurchase it as there’s much better products out there. For split ends, I recommend a good hair cut and as a leave in conditioner, I much prefer the Wen Cucumber Aloe Cleansing Conditioner which leaves my hair soft, manageable and not greasy in the slightest.
Revlon Colour Professional Nutri Colour Creme 1002
If you’ve got blonde hair and you’re wanting a conditioner with a toner in it to give you more of an ash blonde look then I’d highly recommend these colour balls. I got mine from the salon supply shop when I had more ash blonde toned hair but I’m sure they’re available to buy in salons and online. It’s a purple toned conditioner that you pop on your hair after shampooing for a few minutes and then wash out. It works a bit like the silver shampoo you can buy and does a great job at lightening your hair and giving it a light ash tone. It’s great for brightening up dull, dark, yellow blonde hair. This isn’t a product I would repurchase at the moment as I’ve had some dark blonde/light blonde low lights put through my hair these last few months but if I go back to having more ash blonde hair then I’d definitely buy this.
Volume Inter Actives Hair Care, Volume Express from Revlon Colour Professional
This is another product I’ve purchased from the salon supply shop. Volume Express from Revlon Colour Professional is a leave in volumiser for fine hair. It contains arginin, wheat proteins, ginseng and cationic bio-polymers to strengthen the hair and give it more natural body and volume and it really does work. I spritz this through my hair after I’ve towel dried it, then I blow dry it with a round brush and it creates a salon looking blow dry with lots of volume every time. This stuff is brilliant and I’ll definitely be repurchasing!

Small recipes for kids
Move over, beefy Joe. Our turkey version has just as much flavor with less saturated fat.
Crunchy and simply seasoned, these baked chicken fingers are served with a luscious honey-mustard sauce.
Chicken and rice gets a Spanish twist from peppers and olives and a healthy kick of sweet, smoky paprika.
Hot and golden from the oven, this express-lane meal utilizes refrigerated pizza dough, bottled marinara sauce, and zesty chicken sausage.
Use pasta left over from last night's dinner to make this easy pie that tastes a lot like white-sauce lasagna.
Crispy bacon and melted cheese on a burger. What's not to like?
This lightened-up interpretation of Chicken Parmesan boasts herb-grilled chicken cutlets, mozzarella-topped tomato halves, and a lemon-kissed basil and baby greens salad.
Finally, an easy way to make snack-sized, perfectly puffy apple pancakes with no leftover batter.
This ooey-gooey pasta dish is a crowd-pleaser for adults and kids alike - think rich and creamy macaroni-and-cheese tossed with cauliflower and chicken.

If you read a lot, in just about any magazine, book or blog you hear about the worthlessness of the venerable 60 mm “Dimestore” telescope. Common knowledge is that they are worthless junk only suited for paperweights! Especially if you read forum posts in the refractor section of a popular astronomy website. Are these telescopes really that bad, especially since it was, for many of us, our first telescope?
A couple of years ago, just for fun, I ordered a Meade 60mm refractor on E-Bay. It was a 22 dollar purchase and that is with shipping! The mount was wobbly and the eyepieces were outdated designs of the .965 size. Huygens and Ramsdens all! It was the shorter F/11 configuration which showed some chromatic aberration or false color around brighter objects. By all common wisdom this telescope should be a totally worthless piece of junk!
It turned out to be a pretty good telescope! The actual quality of the objective lenses was quite good. Star testing allowed even star diffraction rings inside and outside focus. Even the poor quality eyepieces were quite usable. The main problem was the wobbly mount. These mounts tend to be light and totally unsatisfactory for anything but low power viewing and even then only with some tweaking. Still, with practice, you can use it as it is even at high powers. Tighten up all the screws and bolts of the mount then put a heavy weight on the spreader. This trick can help to to steady even light mounts by using a little Newtonian physics.
The image below is a color sketch of Mars made at the 2009 opposition when Mars was 18″ across. If you can see this level of detail on Mars with poor eyepieces and mount think how much better this could be if you had better quality eyepieces and mount. A solid mount and eyepieces work wonders even in this small scope! The biggest issue is desire! If you truly want to learn about astronomy and a 60 mm is all you have then you will find that it gives great views with a little practice.
Sketch of Mars with stock 60 mm Telescope
After using it as it was out of the box for awhile I made some improvements on it. A 1.25″ focuser from Telescope Warehouse on Ebay was added along with some modern, higher quality eyepieces. The mount was replaced by a simple (Meade Polaris) mount that is way smoother than the stock mount. A dielectric coated diagonal was used with Plossl eyepieces as well as 2 TMB eyepieces and a couple Plossls. Turns out that it was not Tele-Vue quality but it was good for the price. Total cost of of scope and updating, 45 dollars, not including eyepiece and diagonal. Then I gave it away to a budding young astronomer! Overall with a little fix up, you can have a solid scope for a grab and go experience. In fact I am still use another 60mm scope that I upgraded. It is the scope I grab when I just want to set something up quickly and look at a few brighter objects.
Recently I purchased for 15 dollars an old F/12 60 mm refractor. It is on a light equatorial mount. It is a generic English brand that used an imported Asian scope. There is little information on this scope but it works quite well and has very little chromatic aberration. To complement this purchase I also bought a Bresser Alt/Az mount and use it for a grab and go platform. The Bresser has already seen my Short Tube 80 mm and my Meade 90 mm F/8.8 and handled them very well.
In the near future I plan on attaching the F/12 60 mm telescope to a new Bresser mount. Right now it is cloudy, 5 degrees with snow still coming down so this experiment may be postponed for awhile. It will be interesting to see how this old telescope performs on a better mount. It takes me back to my early teens when I peer through the venerable 60 mm! | <urn:uuid:5f69a09e-c012-4388-9981-cdd20c55ecab> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://templeresearchobservatory.com/60-mm-department-store-scopes/ | 2019-07-19T23:46:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526386.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719223744-20190720005744-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.967093 | 853 |

In vet school, sometimes you just gotta dance. Whether it’s a victory dance after getting an acceptance letter into the summer externship you wanted, or getting up on a dance floor after a 5-hour anatomy exam, sometimes you just have to let loose. Especially since we spend so much time sitting in lecture or studying inside during these first two years of vet school, it’s important to find a healthy way to let off steam, have some fun, and get some exercise. Because let me tell you, it’s hard to find time to exercise when you have 8 am – 5 pm lectures during the winter, and you don’t like to work out in a gym setting.
I’m definitely more of a hiking, swimming type of gal, and a good hike or swim session for me is 45-60 minutes, both of which have travel time to a specific location that has to be factored in. I’ve found that I can easily add in a short stretch/weight-lifting session before bed, which is really nice on days when I’m tired but I can’t fall asleep, or when I didn’t have the time or energy to do anything more.
But I’ve found that making time to go dancing really does make a difference for me. Not only do I get to go with friends and have a great time, but it’s one of the few times when my mind goes miraculously blank, and I just listen and laugh and get dizzy. Those moments of clarity are so great, because often my mind is so full of information I’m trying to understand, things I’m trying to memorize, and an ever-changing to-do list that sometimes it feels like there’s no room in my head for me. After a night of Lindy hop or contra dancing, I feel much more like myself. My mental slate is wiped clean, and now there’s some room in there for my thoughts, not just my anxieties. So my advice is, if you ever have the chance to drop in on community dance events, go for it! | <urn:uuid:1cbe37fd-1cf3-4310-bd1c-7be8b1523b4b> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://vetstudentstories.merckmanuals.com/dancing-like-no-ones-watching/ | 2019-07-19T22:40:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526386.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719223744-20190720005744-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.958992 | 448 |
There are many ways in which you can support John Ball.
As a parent or a carer, some of the best ways in which you can support the School are to ensure that you child comes to school every day, is on time and has brought all the right things with them (PE kit etc.).
John Ball recognises the vital role parents play in their child’s education and we hope that parents, pupils and teachers will work in partnership to promote positive learning within and outwith the school – ask you child about their learning, check out their year pages to see what they are currently doing in class and support them with their learning at home.
If you have the time, you may also wish to consider volunteering to help in the School – you can find more information about volunteering here.
Fundraising and Donations
We are always looking for extra resources to help us enhance the School’s equipment and resources. There are a range of ways in which you can help us with this.
Friends of John Ball
The Friends of John Ball regularly organise school events and fundraising activities. They are always looking for volunteers to help them. Further information about how you can get involved can be found here
Some parents choose to donate money direct to the School. We welcome these donations, large and small! If you would like to donate in this way, please make cheques payable to John Ball Primary School and hand it to reception. We will of course respect your wishes as to whether you would like your donation publicly acknowledged or not.
We have also had donations from parents of equipment (for example, where a parent’s business was disposing of relatively new computers). If you think you have equipment that might be of use to the school, please contact Mrs Noakes to discuss it. | <urn:uuid:fc15638c-17a7-4010-ba10-6b59fa9bcf8c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.johnball.lewisham.sch.uk/parents/support-the-school/ | 2019-07-19T22:47:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526386.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719223744-20190720005744-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.974713 | 365 |
I am wondering if you actually know what raises OUR cost of operating for everyone says fuel is the cause HOWEVER as I see it, FUEL is but ONE example to use cause the rates are the main cause and yet rarely ever mentioned by any of ya office people who have never been in a rig and the only time ya see em is when they pass ya on the hyway or get in your way and ya cuss them out like you were their boss...
Your are correct. Fuel expenses are one but a huge part of it. Look what's going on again out there!! These guys just banged everybody 30 cents more per gallon again! I cannot afford this in my own personal van let alone imagine what it's doing to you guys our there. When I run large trucking companies in my savings spreadsheet with let's say 1200 tractors and I can save them over $2 Mil a year just on fuel cost,alone, that puts this who thin into perspective. My motor coach company is getting 17% back just in fuel saving before less maintenance costs now using the product. Look at your numbers at 17% and let me know how much that would be back to you each month and year Alvin. I would be interested to know and thank you.
The only people in the office that pay any attention to this stuff are the people higher up that pay all of the bills like the COO's, CFO's, and the CEO's. I always have to start with these folks first because when I show them the numbers where they are throwing away, then they listen, then they hook me up with the Maintenance Directors and so forth to get going with their base line testing.
Hope that helps.
I really like to see the show about people driving back and forth in the snow and ice. I didn't like how they created drama by periodically inserting computer-generated scenes of how an accident might look, if an accident were to happen.
Well can't say anything. But what about the popularity? Is it gaining or loosing? The whole game comes to that point.
Aside from this, how about gelling issues up there? Call this number when you have time and listen to what some Canadian truckers are saying about issues that affect all truckers in cold climates: Let it play through until the truckers get on the line. There are two of them. It's always best straight from the horses mouth I think, don't you?
(512) 827-0080 Access code is: 8800# That's 8800 pound.
What are some of the gelling nightmares you guys can share? I'm learning as I listen to all of you and thank you!
I like it,it can be dangerous but who care. I am now watching all show seasons , and i am finding a lot of manipulated images, like storm effects, false blinding whiteouts, and accelerated images to make more speed sensation.all these things gives me a good feeling as well.
yes it is exgagerated a bit about how fast you go on ice roads and some stuff is cheesy. I run 5k plus a week pulling turnpikes hgwy 2 north thru calgary returning south at nite. in winter its as bad as logging in fort mac. every job has its dangers but irt has some cheesy moments.
Ice road show is very interesting for young new drivers but it is most dangerous. If Ice road for TV show then it is not so dangerous but drivers must be more careful about this show.
After reading some of the thoughts on here about the show, I have to admit until I read them here I thought I was all alone in my thinking. I like to tune in when I'm high.... ( Before you think it..I'm retired and take it for medical reasons)
The Show" is funnier than Bugs Bunny in an airplane looking for the Air-Brakes!! That Fat cartoon character HUGE sorry HUGH make me laugh the hardest. What a Moron! I've seen more smarts from a six volt battery..
The only thing that bothers me is that the public now thinks you are all crazy and drive like maniacs!! (Remember I'm Retired) - So thankfully I'm not included. I can say sadly that what I'm seeing out there now, makes me happy I'm retired.

When was the last time you took a risk?
I have a story for you that was told to me by a friend. It’s about a ma who took a risk.
So, I am at a coffee shop, and as usual listening to the conversations around me… Sitting in the corner is a cute older woman and handsome gentleman. Both are nervously chitchatting about old times and the paths that their lives have taken them -kids, long loving marriages, jobs…
Then the lady says to the man, “I am so glad you reached out to me. I can’t believe it has been 40 years. Just wondering, what made you think of me?”
And the gentleman responds, “I have lived a life that I treasure. However, you have been in my heart and the back of my mind through it all.
Life is moving so fast, and I just could not go any longer without telling you this.”
I do believe that gentleman, at that moment, is one of the most courageous people around.
So, for your 60 second motivational minute for today…
Be courageous today to that person who lingers in the back of your mind. Take a risk. Open up and tell them as you feel as humans can’t survive as a community of islands.

TORONTO, Aug 16 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar fell in conjunction with its U.S. counterpart against major global currencies Friday following a batch of lackluster North American data, but overall trading was subdued and range-bound. Canadian manufacturing sales unexpectedly fell by 0.5 percent in June, falling short of forecasts that called for an increase. This was the fourth drop in manufacturing sales - the only domestic data this week - in six months and adds to expectations of softer economic growth in June. "The Canadian data (has been) uninfluential in pushing USD/CAD away from what we see as the short-term, certainly intraday range, of C$1.0300 to C$1.0350," said Jack Spitz, managing director of foreign exchange at National Bank Financial. "Today we haven't yet seen the break-out type price action ... I don't think we will see one today." In the United States, U.S. housing starts and permits for future home construction rose less than expected last month, suggesting that higher mortgage rates could be hampering the housing market's momentum. "The data shapes the narrative with respect to the QE tapering and the (U.S.) dollar represents the barometer," said Spitz. At 9:18 a.m. EDT (1318 GMT), the Canadian dollar was trading at C$1.0343 versus the U.S. dollar, or 96.68 U.S. cents, weaker than Thursday's close at C$1.0304, or 97.05 U.S. cents. Prices for Canadian government debt were mostly lower across the maturity curve. The two-year bond slipped 1.5 Canadian cents to yield 1.216 percent and the benchmark 10-year bond fell 10 Canadian cents to yield 2.687 percent, its highest yield in nearly two years. | <urn:uuid:c9e2d6a9-2e4f-42a7-b266-f1b66899903a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://ca.reuters.com/article/caDollarRpt/idCAL2N0GH0J120130816 | 2019-07-19T23:34:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526386.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719223744-20190720005744-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.963302 | 383 |

Garden waste collections start
03 April 2019
A new garden waste collection service, introduced by Powys County Council, has now started.
The council's Recycling and Waste Team has this week started to collect garden waste directly from households.
There has been significant interest in the new service with householders signing up every day. Those who have already subscribed will have their garden waste collected from the kerbside once a fortnight until the end of November.
There is still time to sign up to this brand new service. For just £35, the council will provide a 240-litre wheeled bin and will collect garden waste once a fortnight within 10 working days of you ordering.
A smaller 120-litre bin will be available at a reduced rate for those households with small gardens.
It is easy to sign up, all you need to do is visit www.powys.gov.uk/gardenwaste or call 01597 827465.
Cllr Phyl Davies, Cabinet Member for Recycling and Waste, said: "I'm delighted that our new garden waste collection service has started. I would like to thank those who have already subscribed and I hope they can see the benefits of having their garden waste collected from their doorstep.
"Our collection service will mean that households don't have to get their cars dirty by filling it up with grass cuttings. The charge is likely to be less than what most residents would spend on fuel to take their garden waste to a collection point." | <urn:uuid:2996fff6-7983-41a0-b0f1-8376537a575a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://en.powys.gov.uk/article/7215/Garden-waste-collections-start | 2019-07-19T23:56:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526386.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719223744-20190720005744-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.966598 | 312 |

[wprm-recipe-jump id=”234″ text=”Skip to the recipe!”]
Perhaps it was a mix of societal messaging and my own impatience, but I always shrugged math and science off as subjects that didn’t concern me. Numbers made me sweat. Not for a lack of effort, I had to take behavioral stats TWICE in college and only got a C- on my second laborious go around. I approached math classes with a mix of resentment and utter confusion in high school. My sophomore year of high school, I escaped the last quarter of chem to study abroad in Australia. Had I stayed, I surely would have failed the class.
But my quest to understand how food works have changed my tune. As it turns out, the foundation of cooking and baking is entirely numbers and cause and effect. The flavor of that crispy, pan-fried chicken skin we love so much? It’s a product of science: the beloved maillard effect. The fluffy beauty and lightness of a good meringue? Also an artful blend of timing, temperature, ratios, and method.
And while I’ve come to respect and honor the process of cooking/baking, I really hate being chained to a cookbook. Instead, I like to think about food in terms of foundational elements: what purpose do eggs serve in a recipe (a binder, a fat source, etc)? What about butter (fat, texture)? Does the temperature matter (yes, yes it does)?
Enter Ruhlman’s Ratio. In my quest to become a cook that thinks on her toes, I’ve come to love his anti-cookbook approach. Instead, he posits, that all we need to be successful in the kitchen is a few key foundational ratios. Once you understand what they are, and how the ingredients work together, you suddenly have the keys to unfettered creativity in the kitchen.
My favorite (and simplest in my opinion) of the ratios is the pate brisee. Add a teaspoon or two of sugar, you have a pate sucree. This recipe is stupid easy to remember. While the ratio does require some understanding of methodology (don’t worry I’ll explain), it’s so easy at its surface that even my dog could remember it if incentivized with enough treats.
Ready for it?
Ok, here it is: 3:2:1. Three parts flour. Two parts butter. One part water. Whether you wish to make two quiches or twenty apple pies, this ratio will apply. For the sake of simplicity, the recipe I’ll be showing you yields two crusts. I like to use one for somethin sweet, like my blueberry pie bars, and the other for something more practical/utilitarian, like a quiche (which, by the way, is an amazing meal prep food). The dough keeps well in the fridge for up to a week but can be used after 60 minutes of chilling. Some sticklers will tell you otherwise, but I’m usually more concerned with shoving pie in my mouth than waiting ridiculous amounts of time for a perfectly flaky crust. Besides, a 60-minute chill will bring you pretty damn close all the same.
Pate Brisee (Basic Pie Dough)
Using Ruhlman’s tried and true 3:2:1 ratio, this is the only pie dough recipe you’ll ever need. Perfect for sweet pies, savory tarts, quiches, and the rest of em. Makes two servings.
- 12 oz flour (I use half all purpose, half whole wheat)
- 8 oz cold unsalted butter (cut into 1-inch cubes )
- 4 oz water (the colder the better )
- 1 tsp salt
- 1-2 tsp sugar (optional. i like a more savory crust but this will add a little sweetness, which works well for pies and sweeter recipes)
Add dry ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
Using two knives or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized clumps form. You can use your hands, just be sure to work quickly. We want the butter to be as cold as possible to create those flaky layers.
Slowly add your water until the dough just comes together into a ball. Divide into two disks and wrap with plastic wrap. Chill for 30-60 minutes.
If using the dough right away, set your oven to 350. Remove a disk from the oven and roll out to desired shape on a floured surface.
From here, the future is yours. | <urn:uuid:bbad0ee7-bf66-4aba-99a8-52fb569ee107> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://followyourfork.wordpress.com/2018/04/26/the-only-pie-dough-recipe-youll-ever-need/ | 2019-07-19T23:13:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526386.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719223744-20190720005744-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.930841 | 979 |

From the winding maze of souks in the medina to the ancient geometric zellij tiling on the walls of mosques and riads - Marrakech is a city of mystery and pure magic.
Moroccan architecture and design is what drew us to Marrakech in the first place. With fragrant courtyards, soaring arches, magnificent tile-work and moorish lattices - it's one of the most awe-inspiring places I've ever been.
LANGUAGE: French, Arabic, Berber
CURRENCY: Moroccan Dirham (different from Arabic Dirham). 1 USD is approximately 10 MAD. Carry cash and be prepared to haggle.
CLIMATE: warm year round with 55° lows and highs up to 100° in the summer months. We were there in june and average temp was 85°.
GETTING AROUND: walking and taxis. However, walking through the medina can be chaotic. The streets aren't marked so cars (and horses) seem to zig-zag - be aware.. Taxi drivers are given a generous percentage of sales when they bring tourists to certain shops so no need to give them a large tip if you're on a "tour" with one of them.
CULTURE: Morocco is a muslim country, so a few things to keep in mind:
Dress appropriately: as a woman you don't need to wear a hijab, but definitely cover your shoulders and knees and avoid skin-tight clothing.
Left hand is considered "unclean" so be sure to eat and greet with your right.
Fridays: this is their Holy Day so a lot of businesses are closed.
When planning your trip, check the dates for ramadan as this may affect your overall experience.
While the souks were vibrant and amusing to explore, I came across a number of other great shops in Gueliz selling local artisan goods:
33 MAJORELLE | This concept store was one of my favorites. featuring high-quality items, from stunning caftans to leather and woven goods, hats, handmade jewlery, bold pop art, vibrant home furniture anddecor, books, etc.
BOUTIQUE MAJORELLE | located within Jardin Majorelle and features silk and cotton clothing (produced on site), leather goods, artisanal soaps, traditional preserves. you'll also find hand-wover textiles designed by loulou de la falaise, yves saint laurent's former studio director responsible for accessories.
GALLERIE SANGREAL | This boutique is like an elevated souk. you'll find the same items you'd shop for in the medina (pottery, pillows, rugs and textiles, metalwork, etc) but in a more tailored setting.
eat, drink & sleep
NOMAD | 4-floors of dining with a magnificent rooftop bar boasting incredible views of the Atlas Mountains and the Medina. Good for lunch or dinner.
TERRASE DES EPICES | This rooftop restaurant is right in the heart of the bustling medina and has great food, pastries and cocktails.
AL FASSIA | Located in Gueliz and run by women, this is a great place for traditional Moroccan food.
LA SULTANA | Right in the medina, this riad features a pool, spa, game room and rooftop restaurant overlooking the Saadian Tombs. There were about 30 fountains throughout the riad, each filled with roses that flooded the multiple courtyards with fragrance. Service was remarkable as we were greeted with mint tea upon arrival and were upgraded to a luxury suite.

For many people, none of the innovations in comedy style and presentation over the years compete with watching Dave Allen, a classic stand-up comedian getting by with little more than a one-legged stool, a dashing silken suit, whisky tumbler in one hand and a cigarette nonchalantly held in the other. This manner of presentation is timeless and enduring.
Dave Allen was born David Tynan O'Mahony in Dublin, Ireland in July, 1936. He was the son of a prominent local journalist. At the age of 19, he was struck with the desire to become an entertainer. For the next four years, he learned the trade by touring extensively with various theatre ensembles; he learned both the dramatic and comedic acting disciplines. Gradually he became an all-round entertainer, able to work in such varied environments as theatres, night-clubs, vaudeville and workingmen's clubs.
In 1959 he felt confident enough to take his first shot at television on the BBC production of New Faces. He later remembered it as 'the longest and most terrifying three minutes of my life'. He continued to ply his stand-up comedic trade for the next four years; during which time the rise of 'Packaged Tours' became prominent feature on the entertainment map. They generally had a mix of established and up-and-coming entertainers, across the spectrum of rock 'n' roll, easy listening music and stand-up comedians. One such promising act was The Beatles, whom Dave had the good fortune to tour with in Britain and France.
Things changed dramatically when, during a 1963 tour of Australia, Dave got his first big break in television with his own show entitled Tonight With Dave Allen. Initially it was to be an eight-week run; but due to the show's popularity, it was subsequently turned into a 18 month engagement.
At the end of 1964, he returned to England hoping to make his mark. Within a month he had appeared on the popular ATV television show Sunday Night at the Palladium, yet again along side The Beatles. Within a year he was offered the chance to do his own show on the BBC.
The British version of Tonight With Dave Allen premiered in 1968. It quickly gathered an audience, like its down under forerunner, with its engaging, witty and informative style; although, its primary attraction was probably the various stunts Dave performed...people tuned in to see whether anything would go wrong.
In the middle of 1969, he attempted to expand his horizons by focusing on documentary films. During a nine-week shoot in the United States, he explored some of the social changes happening in turbulent America.
In 1971, all of his efforts were rewarded with the BBC 2 show Dave Allen at Large. With its abundance of straight to camera monologues and short comedy sketches, it became one of the highest-rated programmes during the next seven years. Controversy was courted however with the abundance of sharp religious satire.
In 1972, safe in the knowledge that his show was a hit, he resumed his interest in dramatic acting. His West End debut was an appearance in the Royal Court's production of Edna O'Briens play A Pagan Place. This was followed up in the next season by a role opposite Maggie Smith in a production of Peter Pan, playing both Mr Darling and Captain Hook.
During the next few years, with the popularity of his show rising, he some time to tour his stand-up routine around the globe. He appeared at the opening extravaganza for the Sydney Opera House in 1974; he filmed a further documentary on great eccentrics; and he released a book entitled A Little Light Reading1, an anthology of horror and supernatural stories. In 1975, he made an appearance in a dramatic one-man show, again at the Royal Court Theatre, from which the proceeds went to repairing the theatre's roof. He recorded an insert for the Salute to Lew Grade special, starring alongside such luminaries as Peter Sellers, Julie Andrews and John Lennon. Later, he found time to complete two more documentary series dealing with British pagan myths and folklore; and in America he produced a series of 14 programmes exploring some of the unusual aspects of their way of life.
As his television show began to lose its impetus towards the end of the 1970s, he returned to live stand-up comedy with successful tours of Britain, Australia and New Zealand. He got the opportunity in 1978 to do an Alan Bennet dramatic play for television. In May of 1981, a new challenge arose, when he was given the opportunity to do a two week engagement at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston; unfortunately, translating his humour for the American market presented a considerable challenge. The sacrilegious tone of many of his routines limited its appeal to the American audience.
Dave enjoyed semi-retirement from the rigours of showbusiness, occasionally guesting on shows such as Clive James. Health scares forced him to give up both his cigarettes and excess alcohol; which given the relish he showed for them in the 1970s, must have been quite a challenge. He died in his sleep on 11 March, 2005, aged 68. | <urn:uuid:309101e1-f42a-4459-8f04-35e681ad1cc0> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://h2g2.com/edited_entry/A306893 | 2019-07-19T23:14:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526386.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719223744-20190720005744-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.982889 | 1,060 |

After winning the Big South Conference Championship indoor track meet this past Saturday, the Hampton University Men and Women’s Track & Field teams are now champions.
This, despite practice problems, as well as a near tragedy that threatened to knock them off track – or worse.
For the women, even though there were nine teams competing, the meet turned out to be a two-team race. The Lady Pirates dueled with High Point University for most of the competition and ultimately edged them out by 3.5 points.
The men had a similar victory, defeating second-place Campbell University by 9 and third-place High Point by 39.
HU senior track star Brenen Garrett, leader of the men’s team, was ecstatic after the win.
“It feels good,” he said. “It feels like what it’s supposed to feel like. We’re champions.
“We’ve been patient, but we stayed consistent with our work.”
Lady Pirates junior Jaelen Leonard felt similar.
“We’ve been through so much as a team, and we deserved to win this,” she said.
Earlier this season, the team had to practice outdoors while its Boo Williams training facility underwent renovations.
“Running in the cold was harmful for us,” HU junior Geoff McCollough said. “Our muscles got tight, and we couldn’t wait to go inside.”
On top of not having a facility, the team also escaped an enormous bus fire three weeks ago in which equipment, valuables and belongings were torched in the flames. Still, when Crystal Eley, the captain of the women’s track team, was asked about these unfortunate events, she shared a different perspective.
“The series of events that our team has overcome are simply evidence that blessings and miracles are real,” she said. “These were not setbacks. They were steppingstones to prepare us for the victories God had in store.”
Jaelen Williams, a junior on the men’s team, doesn’t see the bus fire as true hindrance either.
“I think it was motivation for us,” he said. “We overcame not having uniforms and equipment. … That anger we had turned into energy to go out and compete.”
Williams, who has competed on a national scale individually, says it feels good to finally win as a team.
“I’ve been able to get [my wins] on my own, but being able to share success with a team is a differently feeling,” he said. “Celebrating with both the men and the women was amazing.”
This season was the inaugural year for the Pirates in the Big South. Hampton’s move to the conference was questioned by some when the shift was announced in November 2017. Everyone from alumni to students wondered the same thing: Could Hampton successfully transition into a new conference? It was even a shock to the athletes.
“When we first heard the news, it was weird to imagine not competing against other HBCUs,” Jerrick Powell said. “But we always had the work ethic to compete.
“We were newcomers in the Big South, but we wanted to make our presence known early on. I think we all had the goal to set the tone and let [the Big South] know that with our arrival, things are going to change.”
Powell, who scored a career high 34 points and won Outstanding Field Performer of the meet, credited Garrett with inspiring him.
“[He] kept telling me that my teammates are looking up to me, it’s time to show out,” Powell said. “At that point, I told myself we weren’t leaving with anything but first place.”
Garrett’s teammates describe his leadership style as unique and crafty.
“Brenen has that voice where despite how tough times are, [he] can influence the team in any situation,” McCollough said.
An example of this is when Garrett went down with an injury earlier this year.
“Him being who he is, his presence was enough for us to not get discouraged,” McCollough said. “When he couldn’t step up as an athlete, he became a cheerleader, motivator and even a coach at times.”
This was on display during the last race of the meet, the 4x400m relay. The stakes were high for the Lady Pirates. If they placed first or second, they’d secure their championship. If not, the title would have fallen into a competitor’s hands.
According to his teammates, Garrett was sprinting around the facility, ecstatically cheering on his team.
“It was a fight all the way till the last 120 meters,” Eley said. “[But] that’s when all the magic happened. My teammates left their hearts out on the track, end of story.”
“Hampton women’s track and field has always had a rich legacy for winning the MEAC … but we hadn’t won a title since the indoor season in 2016,” Eley continued. “Now, as a senior to win this championship title means more to me than words can explain … we not only won but we made history and that’s the beautiful part.”
To add to the Pirates success, Maurice Pierce was named Coach of the Year for the first time in the Big South. Pierce has now won 15 conference awards.
With the indoor season now having come to a close one question remains for both Hampton Track teams, what’s next?
Garrett has the answer.
“Outdoor [season], we’re trying to go back to back and sweep the Big South,” he said. “With more events to showcase, we’re definitely going to break some records. Everybody needs to expect greatness and to get ready to follow the Hampton track team.” | <urn:uuid:09de684c-b154-4678-9e5c-e7ee3ae2edd2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://hamptonscript.com/2019/02/22/trials-and-tribulations-result-in-trophies-for-hamptons-track-team/ | 2019-07-19T23:53:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526386.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719223744-20190720005744-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.982759 | 1,319 |

Think that the life of a health blogger revolves solely around drinking protein shakes after an early morning workout? Or eating kale salads after a yoga class? Think again.
Jia, the wellness consultant and blogger behind Wandering for Wellness confesses that…
…. she doesn’t eat 100% healthy or workout all of the time.
She says “My friends tell me that I am too disciplined and have absolutely no cravings. They see me eating healthy and logging my workouts on social media and think that I don’t have bad days. Some of them say that my feed inspires them to eat healthy, move more, workout regularly and stay fit but the truth is I, too, have bad days.
When I am burning out at work with deadlines, I find it impossible to carve out time to exercise so I give my body a break. I have days where I eat super clean and then I have days where I eat a whole bar of dark chocolate right before my period. I don’t like drinking very much at all but I am in love with my afternoon cup of coffee and even though I stop at 2 cups of coffee a day- I can’t do without it.
Life is too short to spend it on deprivation and starvation diets. As I see it, Wellness is a journey you embark on one day at a time and you’ll feel a lot better if you nosh on that snack and eat that square of dark chocolate rather than depriving yourself and bingeing later.”
I’ve got to say that I agree. I eat chocolate in some form pretty much every day, whether that’s a chocolate bar (usually raw chocolate or dark chocolate), cacao powder in my morning porridge or smoothie or even in peanut butter! I just love chocolate!
And I’m a lot less strict about exercise than I used to be – as long as I can get in a few good workouts per week and do something active on the other days, even if it’s just a 15 minute walk to work and back, then I’m generally happy. Last year (before I started blogging) my life revolved around food and daily workouts – it was literally all I thought about and it made me a very hangry and empty person.
If you can integrate a strict diet plan and exercise regime into your life and are truly happy with it, then perfect- and I definitely take my hat off to you. But if it’s compromising how you live your life I’d suggest you re-evaluate you goals. Is losing a few pounds or gaining an abs line really worth losing yourself in the process?

Instructors need to keep kids moving in toddler martial arts classes. These classes should not involve meditation, breathing exercises or technical techniques. Toddlers need to be entertained while they are learning. These 5 essentials will ensure a successful toddler martial arts program for you!
1) Toddlers should wear their own uniform, or gi
While a full gi, or uniform, is not absolutely necessary, toddlers should know that it is only worn for their martial arts classes. Our toddler classes have always included a full gi for these youngsters with our logo on the back and a Little Eagles® Martial Arts patch sewn onto the front chest. Wearing a uniform means toddler’s feel a sense of community. This age group can also begin to understand the significance of equality which is one reason martial artists wear gis.
2) Make sure you have the “right” instructor
Oh yes. Definitely an essential for teaching toddler martial arts classes. One big reason for either a) a failing toddler program or b) not having a toddler program at all is having the wrong instructor! The owner or master instructor may not be the best choice for teaching this age group. A responsible teenaged or adult student could be a better choice.
If you are of the mindset that the owner or master instructor “must teach all classes”, let me tell you, we were too. When we started teaching our toddlers classes in 1999, we failed miserably. When we tried again in 2000 we asked an adult black belt if she would like to begin teaching the toddler classes. Best Idea Ever.
3) Limit your class size
Depending on the size of your mat you may have anywhere from under 10 to over 30 students training at one time in your evening classes. This is definitely a time when size does matter! If you are instructing alone, toddler classes should have no more than 6 students on the mat at one time. Having an assistant, or helper, is always a good idea. However, more than one instructor does not mean you should double your class size. A maximum of 8 students, and a maximum of 2 instructors ( don’t have too many distractions!) is a good rule of thumb for this age group.
4) Know the best time to run your toddler class
This is when talking to the parents of your students is priceless. We changed the time of our toddler classes a few times until we found the sweet spot that we have stuck with for many years. We have been offering our Little Eagles® Martial Arts classes every week on Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. . The students have taken their nap after lunch and had a snack on the way to their class to keep their tummy’s full and brains sharp. Our older kids classes begin at 5:00 p.m. which gives plenty of time for the toddlers to end their class without interruption or distraction.
5) Your style and our support!
Toddler martial arts classes should be about students learning to interact with each other, taking turns and earning respect. Instructors should make their classes engaging for toddlers while teaching valuable social skills all at the same time! After 2 decades of teaching toddler martial arts classes we know what games and drills work to instill these characteristics in our youngest of students! Little Eagles® Martial Arts offers quick streaming and downloadable video clips of actual classes for instructors to use in their own toddler martial arts classes! Your style and our support can mean new students and successful toddler classes for you.

We initially found Adam on Yelp when searching for wedding DJs and I was really impressed by his clear pricing and his quick response to my inquiry. He was great to work with at all steps of the process - from planning to the big event.
From the email we wrote to Adam:
We just wanted to let you know that we thought the whole process - from initially meeting with you until the actual wedding - was great! You were always prepared and personable. You made us feel very comfortable and had great ideas for our big day. We especially liked the suggestion to do a receiving line before the buffet. It worked out great and tons of people complimented us on it.
We got so many rave reviews on both our ceremony and reception music! Plus, the dance floor was full all night, which is what I was really hoping for. You also kept the flow going so nothing ran late - even though you battled the car gods to get there and get set up on time. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. As I told you the night of the wedding... I danced so much, my updo fell out! Watching our wedding video was amazing and hilarious. People were busting out all the moves. People had a great time and so much of it was thanks to you. We really can't thank you enough and will recommend you to any of our friends getting married or having an event.

Adam was a wonderful addition to our wedding! He tailored all the music to what we wanted throughout the night. He had new equipment that sounded amazing! He got all guests involved in games and everybody had a blast until the very last moment!
Married on 06/09/2018
Unbelievable! He may be a little more pricey from other quotes I received, but WORTH.EVERY.PENNY. From the very first time we met Adam, he really seemed to care about what he does, and care about meeting his clients needs. He didn't just play songs to fill a room. He plays to speak to everyone on a personal level. We hired Adam for our wedding, and he was phenomenal. Days after our wedding, and we are still receiving complements about the DJ! He really went above and beyond. Thank you Adam, for making our wedding that much more magical!

Adam is AMAZING! He is so easy to work with and has everything you could think of and some things you didn't! I highly recommend him!

You guys – you must hire Adam. He is THE BEST and will go above and beyond to make your event amazing. My husband and I got married this past summer and people are STILL talking about how amazing Adam was. We had a complicated venue with multiple locations and he was amazing at helping move 200 people from one place to another. Once the dancing started there wasn’t a second that our dance floor wasn’t packed! I’ve never met a DJ that can read a crowd so well! The music was INCREDIBLE – it was everything (and more) that we asked for and he consistently kept things running smooth while still keeping it fun for us and our guests. There were so many occasions where he went above and beyond to make our wedding day especially memorable: Adam provided the music at our rehearsal dinner (not because we asked but because he was just there setting up so he threw on some tunes for us), he helping coordinate a surprise Matron of Honors’ rap during speeches, he helped with lighting when our tent company’s options were falling short, he played some very special/traditional Swiss music for my husband’s side of the family, he helped create a custom song for my dad and I to have our father daughter dance to, he played my college fight song, and he stayed with us playing tunes for the final few that were there until the sun was coming up! What’s amazing is this isn’t even the tip of the iceberg. We had such piece of mind knowing that Adam was helping run the show. Not only is Adam amazing DJ, he amazing person and he truly felt like family during the planning stages, on the big day and now! We were truly honored to have him be a part of our special day. Do yourself the biggest favor and hire Adam. You won’t regret it! THANK YOU, Adam!

We had a wonderful experience with Adam's DJ service. Adam's fun and upbeat personality radiated through our initial meeting to the end of the wedding night. Adam really wants to get to know the couple, instead of just playing a list of songs you provide him. He has great experience and gave us perfect ideas for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. It is apparent that Adam loves what he does, and I would hire him again in a heartbeat!
Married on 08/26/2016
I hired Adam as the DJ for both my ceremony and reception at my wedding in August 2016. Adam is very organized, provides helpful planning documents, will drive to you for meetings, and has a wide knowledge of music. Adam listens to what you want and will prioritize your music requests and work with you to determine every music detail for your day. We had our guests submit song requests to us when they RSVP'd and Adam made sure to play a lot of these requests which our guests enjoyed! I highly recommend hiring Adam for your next event!

My husband and I attended a wedding that was DJ’d by Adam a year before we tied the knot. We were immediately sold on his style and professionalism at our friend’s wedding and proceeded to setup an informal meeting.
Adam was very accommodating during the planning phase of our wedding. He met with us twice in-person before the event, which was very helpful. Our initial meeting was used to get to know each other and determine if we were a good fit. The second meeting was scheduled about a month in advance of the wedding to determine the genre and style of the event. Adam asked many questions about our music interests and did a great job incorporating our personal preferences of music into the event. He also helped steer us in the right direction when choosing formal dance songs and made sure to take note of the father of the bride’s obsession with KISS.
We were very impressed with Adam’s attention to detail at the wedding. One thing that stood out to us was his willingness to go the extra mile…literally. He showed up to our rehearsal to scope out the venue and to meet the wedding party. The day of the wedding Adam was the first vendor on site. Adam partnered with the site manager, officiant, and caterer throughout the event to ensure we had a flawless wedding.
Adam’s skills as a DJ are top notch! We did not have a day of coordinator and with Adam at the mic we did not need one. Adam took the schedule that we provided him and ran with it. He did a great job keeping the reception on schedule and was able to accommodate last minute revisions. Our guests commented that the DJ was great and that mix of music kept the party going. The father of the bride was extremely happy that we Rock and Rolled All Night Long!
Adam is the best.

Adam was very accommodating, coming to our house in Olympia to meet with us, even through I-5 rush hour traffic. Music is really important to us, and we don't underestimate the importance of a good emcee at such an important event, so we felt a lot of pressure to choose the right DJ. Adam was recommended to us by a friend in the hospitality industry, and we checked out the many reviews he had on the various websites. We were impressed by Adam's passion for his work, and music in general. Meeting with him the first time put or minds at ease that we had found our DJ. Meeting him the second time made us feel ready to have an awesome wedding! He helped us plot out our timeline, feel a bit more organized about the order of things, and helped us pick out songs for our processional, first dances, bouquet toss, etc. He also took our list of requests and talked to us at length about our likes, dislikes, hopes and expectations. Adam arrived earlier than promised to the venue, started playing music while he got set up, and worked nonstop - playing music until he was packed up and left with the last people out. He met or exceeded all of our expectations, and so many of our guests commented on how great the music and the DJ were. They also loved the shoe game, something fun and different. We would wholeheartedly recommend Adam!
Married on 07/23/2016
We had a wonderful experience with Adam! He took the time to work with us to get a very good understanding of who we are and what kind of experience we were hoping to have at our reception. He was very knowledgeable about all types of music genres and had good suggestions for us for things like entrance music, first dances, etc. We had a reception that was spread out across a venue with both indoor and outdoor aspects, so we were concerned that it might be difficult to deal with the logistics involved. Adam handled it all like a pro, providing a clear and well-transitioned experience that made it feel like multiple people were managing all the equipment involved. We loved and got lots of compliments from our guests about his "shoelywed game" which provided a great transition between dinner and dancing. Finally, of course, Adam provided a perfect and well-rounded dancing set that appealed to all the generations represented at our reception. The lighting he provided for the dance floor made the entire experience extra fun and beautiful. Most importantly we and all our guests had an awesome time! We would definitely work with Adam again and recommend him to our friends.
Married on 07/20/2016
DJ Adam was awesome an amazing from the first time we spoke on the phone, to sitting down for contract signing, last meet up before our wedding to finalize all of our music selections, and then Our Special Day. Adam was not only very attentive to our choices and wishes, he was a lot of fun to work with as well. We had many compliments from our guests and Adam's DJ Service will be the first we call or recommend for our next event!
Married on 07/10/2016
For our wedding on June 11, 2016 we contacted Adam as the first person when looking for a dj for the wedding because my father knew him. All the reviews everywhere were wonderful regarding him so it was an easy choice. The meeting with him prior to the event was very easy because he was extremely flexible with us. He absolutely went above and beyond because 2 weeks before the wedding I came to him with a letter that I wanted to record for my dad. He said no problem and set up another meeting to record it. The letter was perfect and everyone at the reception cried. Everything turned out perfectly the day off. The sound was perfect. Everyone could hear us at the ceremony while using mics but it wasn't too loud. The music for the reception was wonderful. Everyone enjoyed themselves and there was a lot of people dancing. We were very surprised with the number of people dancing because there was not any alcohol provided at the wedding. We had up-lighting and it totally set the reception room up and made it look beautiful. He was very professional, punctual, and fun to work with. I highly recommend him to other. (I already have to my bride to be friends) He did a great job at making our day perfect. THANK YOU ADAM!

Adam's DJ service played a key role in making my wedding perfect! We got married at Chambers Bay on 7/9/2016. Adam was always timely with his responses and was very supportive when I was feeling stressed during the planning phase. He basically was my wedding planner as well as my DJ, which I loved. He had advice, tips, suggestions for everything. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. He was so professional and kind and provided some humor to our reception. Huge hit with all our guests. He made the reception so much fun and all of my guests had a blast at the wedding..... People are still talking about how much fun they had dancing the night away... Thanks to Adam! He also did some uplighting which looked amazing! I'm so grateful I chose Adam as our DJ for the best day of my life. I would use his services again in a heartbeat for any events in the future. Thank you Adam!

Adam was absolutely fantastic, he really got to know me and my husband before the big day, and made sure everything would be perfect. And he delivered, the music was amazing, never stopped, played exactly the music we wanted, and arrived when he said he would. He is a fantastic DJ, thank you Adam!

Adam is simply the BEST! He is so fun and outgoing, and he does everything he can to make sure you are happy. My husband and I met with Adam more than 18 months before our wedding. He came to us (rather than making us drive to him) and we talked about music for nearly 2 hours. Time flew by because Adam was such a pleasure to be around! Just to be safe, we met with one other DJ but we knew the second we met Adam that he was the one.
When we next saw Adam, it was about a week before the wedding and he came over to our house for dinner. Once again, time flew because we were laughing and joking and just enjoying ourselves. Adam went over our wedding day timeline in detail, made notes about introductions for our wedding party (and helped us come up with silly introductions that proved to be a big hit! ), and made some suggestions for specific songs to use. He also made a special edit of our introduction song and sent it to me for approval before the wedding. He also suggested playing the shoe game (which ended up being a HUGE hit with our guests!). Adam also went above and beyond by coming to our rehearsal when he heard that my Aunt was our Officiant and it was her first time officiating a wedding. He wanted her to feel comfortable and by doing so, he made our wedding ceremony go so smoothly!
On the day of, Adam was there early and set up his gear quickly and professionally. Between all of the up lighting and the lighting around his gear, the venue never looked so beautiful! Adam worked with our Day-Of-Coordinator to ensure the wedding went very smoothly. With the music, Adam played all of our requested songs and mixed them in a way that kept us on the dance floor the whole night!
My husband and I highly recommend Adam. He is very responsive with his emails, and very professional without being stuffy. He is also just so fun to be around! Adam made our wedding a success.

Adam killed it as our DJ. The music was great, his lighting made for an awesome dance floor and he went above and beyond making sure my wife and I had a great experience. What really sets him apart is the time put into your event beforehand. After a few meetings, great questions, conversations and communication back and forth, he knew us both well enough by the wedding night to play exactly what I would have if it was my own phones playlist. I only wish he planned weddings top to bottom, since his organization and event skills were the best we encountered.
Married on 10/02/2015
Adam was amazing. From Start to finish. He was very responsive and was really flexible. We loved getting together with him and going over our ideas for songs and he is just an awesome DJ. On the wedding day everything was flawless and he was also our MC, so he made everything go smooth and the shoe game was such a hit, loved that one. THANK YOU SO MUCH ADAM! YOU DID A GREAT JOB. SO glad we booked you.

Adam killed it. We had two really great meetings to go over everything, and he helped us decide on things we just weren't sure about or had ever put much thought into. He had lots of great recommendations for things outside of DJing, so his overall interest in us having a great wedding was so genuine and willing to go above and beyond. What really clinched me being such a fan of Adam though was how much fun the reception was! EVERYONE mentioned how great he was and his experience and attention and care really do show. Don't waste any more time and BOOK ADAM!
Married on 07/24/2015
Adam was the DJ for our wedding last week, and we couldn't be happier with how things went. He came very highly recommended from our venue (MV Skansonia), and now we know why! Adam met with us at a coffee shop to start the conversation about 8 months before the wedding, and was incredibly responsive every time we contacted him with a question via email. A week before our wedding, he came to our house to go over all of the details of our ceremony... Who was who in our families, how we wanted things to go, what our style was going to be. He struck the perfect balance of respecting our requests and making recommendations. Adam recommended playing the Muppets' "Somebody's Getting Married" to start our ceremony, and our guests loved it! At the wedding, Adam worked seamlessly with the venue, our photographers, and our videographer to make the night a huge success. He kept the party moving smoothly, and afterwards our guests were commenting on how great the music was. Do yourself a favor and include Adam in your event team!
Married on 04/25/2015
Everything went wonderfully! I would highly recommend Adam! He was super responsive to every request we had and had a foolproof back up plan for any possible hiccups that could've happened.
Married on 02/07/2015
One of the best decisions we made concerning our wedding was hiring Adam Tiegs to be our DJ and Emcee for big day. I say Emcee because he wasn't just a DJ he controlled the flow of the entire night, from narrating, to making sure we kept on schedule, to going with the flow he did it all. I know so many people who have gone with really inexpensive DJ's and have haven't had as good of a experience. My advice to you splurge on the DJ and photographers!
Everyone kept coming up to us to let us know what a great job Adam and his assistant, Jamie were doing.
Do yourself a favor and save a lot of stress and hire Adam, you won't regret it!
Married on 01/10/2015
Adam is the man! He listened to us and worked with us to make our wedding everything we wanted and more. He is so much fun to work with and is amazing and what he does. Adams more than DJ, he provided us with beautiful lighting and ambiance that created a gorgeous vibe to our wedding and he also created heart warming slideshows for my father daughter dances. We love you adam!
Married on 08/17/2014
Adam is awesome! He was great to work with in defining what type of music we wanted and making suggestions. During our reception the air conditioner died and the room had a wall of windows facing the sun so we were melting. He helped accelerate our timeline so we could head onto the patio and even moved all of his equipment into another room when the party moved onto the patio and then back into the room once we hit the restricted hours for music and the a/c happened to be fixed. It was great!

Adam was amazing! From the first conversation we had til the night of the wedding, he was professional but easy to talk to, went beyond his dutiess and really wanted to get to know us as a couple. Adam first met with just me, we went over my budget and came up with a plan that was right for us and our wedding. Adam was always quick to respond to emails and questions.
What put Adam above the rest was when he came to our house to meet with us and finalize plans before the wedding. He usually prefers to meet with people "in thier element" at home. He came over and met our dog (like he had a choice with a lab who loves to lick). He had a great way of getting to know our individual music tastes and come up with a music set that would work for both of us. He made this process fun and non-stressful (something that I was worried about). Knowing our personalities he made suggestions until we had a plan.
At our wedding rehearsal, he was professional, introducing himself and asking questions when needed of our officient, planner and my parents. He checked in often with Rob and I during the wedding about the tempo of events and reminding us of things coming next. We really appreciated all his attention to detail and also his friendliness to our guests.
Married on 08/02/2014
Adam was very professional. I didn't have to worry at all about the music or sound system at my wedding, and that was my goal. Whenever I noticed what song was playing, it was one that we had told Adam that we liked. Everything went smoothly, our guests had a great time, and we had a great time. | <urn:uuid:18cf2bd5-bbc7-441d-a3a1-3fbbc817e366> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://m.weddingwire.com/reviews/adams-dj-service-milton/5cb7b33c9edab0c8 | 2019-07-19T23:56:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526386.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719223744-20190720005744-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.989187 | 4,481 |
With the start of new fiscal year 2018-19 for many business firms, the GST council has now decided to take effective measures that will make compliance easier for small businesses and traders. The council is going to organize its 26 th GST meet on 27 th Feb, 2018 in the capital.
The meeting is expected to help businesses get rid of filing tax returns related to purchases and an extensive return on all transactions. The businesses will rather be asked now to retain the summary return to be filed every month (GST return 3 B), the information on which will be expressed by invoices of sales uploaded. This information would be
adequate to give the benefit of tax credit to buyers, whose transactions will be reflected in the vendors returns.
Small and medium ventures and dealers have a great responsibility as they provide a big number of jobs in rural parts of India. As per the Ministry of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME), today there are more than 36 million such enterprises in the country which are employing over 80 million people and responsible for a one-third of
The GST has also planned to allow an increase in the extension in the transition period of about six to seven months to migrate to the new return filing system The Council has also plans to give two separate deadlines for small and medium enterprises, or SMEs, and large businesses for filing monthly returns.
The present deadline which is 20th of every month for filing returns and paying taxes of the previous month, has created hassles for the government as they are facing a delay of more than a fortnight in getting tax payments. So the idea is to allow large businesses pay taxes by 7th or 8th of every month and let SMEs continue with the present deadline of 20th of every month.
These changes would definitely reduce the load on the IT system and avoid now and then technical glitches. The government has a vision on stabilizing GST by moving to simpler compliance process and allow fewer ongoing changes.
The council also plans to give a fix date for the e-way bill, which is presently on hold and is planning to keep a higher threshold value of more than Rs50,000, for the electronic permit for goods movement under GST. | <urn:uuid:91998b36-7f54-443a-85dc-913f9e8f51ee> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://margcompusoft.com/blog/the-gst-council-promises-easy-compliance-for-small-businesses-and-traders/ | 2019-07-19T23:53:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526386.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719223744-20190720005744-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.961717 | 445 |
After breakfast I made the few mile hike into downtown Pensacola. I arrived at St. Michael the Archangel church for Divine Mercy Sunday!
The Pensacola high school class of ’51 was present for Mass. They all graduated in that same church years ago.
I passed through the Holy Door and met Vincent and Brian. We chatted about pilgrimages and journeys. Vincent gave me some money to help me along the journey. Brian is actually embarking on a pilgrimage of his own next week. He is headed to Australia!
I headed over to the community building for lunch. I met some friends: Martina, Steven, Kathleen, and Mike.
Mike works at St. Vincent de Paul and gave me directions to the warehouse in town. He thought he saw a jogging stroller a few days ago in storage!
I wandered around town and ran into a woman named Gaye. She is from Oklahoma and needed a few dollars for laundry. We headed towards the dollar store together and happened upon St. Stephens Church. Gaye wondered whether it was open or not. We went inside just before 3pm and ended up praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet in adoration!
After prayer we grabbed pastries and coffee at a really fancy place called George’s. The staff was really nice and let us in after they had already closed for the afternoon. Their carrot cake was awesome!
We swung by the dollar store and picked up laundry detergent and headed for the laundry mat. Gaye gave me lots of tips about Pensacola, where to get a free shower, places to stay, and how to get places. She even gave me a pair of sunglasses with a hard case and some beads. She helped me out alot!
I passed through the Holy Door and took a few pictures. I met lots of nice people including Terry, Gail, and Ingrid. I spoke with Fr. Matt after Mass and it seemed like he was somehow expecting me! I think Fr. Tim from Blessed Sacrament in Tallahassee sent out a text to priests within the diocese.
Fr. Matt offered me to stay in the guest room. I accepted. I met Fr. James and we all hung out in the kitchen. We even took a selfie haha.
It was a good long day. I took a shower and fell asleep soon after. | <urn:uuid:35017350-bb4d-4771-b748-5cc35d623fc7> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://mercyrun.com/2016/04/05/day-39/ | 2019-07-19T23:49:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526386.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719223744-20190720005744-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.982553 | 482 |

Are you planning to replace your oil furnace? The experts at Northbay Heating and Air can help you find the right heating system. While it’s true that oil furnace is effective in warming your home this winter, there are still complications in deciding if it’s better to replace it with other efficient heating alternatives. Consider these pros and cons of oil furnace replacement.
- There is wide availability of oil furnaces and they work at same level of efficiency with some gas furnaces.
- Newer oil furnace can bring energy cost savings.
- There are also lesser carbon emissions for newer oil furnaces.
- Operation can be costly as compared to other heating alternatives.
- Oil price can unpredictably rise and create a complicated budget management.
Benefits of Oil to Gas Furnace Conversion
Oil furnace system makes sense when oil is cheap, but there are other heating alternatives whose operations are as efficient as and more eco-friendly than that, such as gas furnaces. If you’re considering a switch from oil to gas furnace, here are the benefits that you can enjoy:
- Lower heating bills: Natural gas is sometimes 5 times cheaper than oil. Shifting to gas furnaces can pay you back by lowering your heating expenses.
- Improved convenience. As compared to oil furnace system, natural gas is delivered through underground tanks installed directly to your home which reduces the chance of spills, odors or late fuel deliveries due to bad weather.
- Environmentally conscious. Gas furnace is more eco-friendly than oil furnace because it releases 40%less carbon dioxide and no sulfur dioxide making it the cleanest fossil fuel to use.
- Abundant supply. Natural gas is easily accessible if your home needs a gas furnace replacement because it is locally available in the country. It’s a good choice if you want to take part in reducing the country’s dependence to foreign oil.
- Increases home value. Many home buyers prefer homes heated with natural gas. An oil to gas conversion can really make your home on top of the list with increased home value.
Factors Affecting Oil To Gas Conversion Cost
- Gas line requirement
- Old oil infrastructure removal
- Gas furnace installation
- Replacement of some appliances if needed
- Operating costs
- Maintenance costs
- Repair costs
If you’re planning to have an oil to gas furnace switch, it’s important to hire only professional technicians such as the experts at Northbay Heating and Air to guarantee proper service at reasonable cost. | <urn:uuid:2370ce09-8a2f-44d2-a35f-bb85130cc702> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://northbayheatingandair.com/oil-furnace-replacement-pros-cons/ | 2019-07-19T23:41:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526386.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719223744-20190720005744-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.930906 | 517 |
Hospital Peer Supporters in Truro may have noticed a new system, for flagging up mums and babies who need a little more support and attention with feeding on Wheal Fortune recently. It is possible too that community groups will start to see mums and babies who have been part of this system so we thought it could be good to explain a little more about how it works.
This Beanie project is a pilot running until the end of February. The hat system applies to all mums and babies. The red/amber/green hat idea for feeding support comes from sharing innovative practice amongst other maternity units in the UK who have also been grappling with the issue of high re-admission rates for newborns – particularly with feeding ‘problems’.
The Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust, Treliske have seen an increasing number of babies being admitted to the neonatal unit with low temperatures and low blood glucose and of babies being readmitted to hospital with feeding problems. These problems are typically related to the loss of more than 10% of their birth weight by the day 5 midwife appointment and the Trust is eager to reduce this number of re-admissions.
So, babies and mums are assessed and babies allocated a hat when they are born – either green (pretty much good to go), amber (support and attention needed) or red (significant support and attention needed).
The green hat babies of first time mums can go straight home from delivery but should have been breastfed or bottle fed on the unit (delivery or birthing centre) twice. A second time or subsequent mum may go home after one feed on the unit if they are confident and she has breastfed for one month or more with a previous baby. In any green hat baby case they will be encouraged to keep their baby in uninterrupted skin to skin contact, have one feed observed and be offered a feed chart to use in hospital and at home if so they could like to keep track of their baby’s feeds and wet and dirty nappies.
This does not necessarily mean that all will go smoothly with breastfeeding – we all know that once home things can go awry and we hope that, if this is the case, those mums will need to be sign posted to a breastfeeding group.
Amber and Red hat babies and their mums will normally have been admitted to Wheal Fortune postnatal ward for a period of time. This could be due to a trickier birth (Ventouse, Forceps or Caesarian, Post partum haemorrhage), or low birth weight or slight prematurity (35 weeks + but otherwise well). It might be that the baby is just not quite ready to start breastfeeding and mums and baby would benefit from some support to get it off to the best start possible. It could be that mum needs some extra support due to the birth (C-section) or a condition such as Diabetes.
In the case of mums choosing to breastfeed the help could be supporting the mum to start expressing her colostrum to enable this to be fed to the baby via syringe or even finger whilst they settle into the normal feeding behaviours we see in healthy term babies. It might be that the baby is being screened for infections that have suppressed their normal feeding behaviours or are being treated with antibiotics as a precaution. If the baby is with mum the hat acts as a reminder to both parent and staff (and volunteer) that this mum and baby need more support and attention for some reason.
This pilot will be assessed to see if it is effective in bringing down the readmission rates and parents will be asked for their opinion on how the system worked for them. | <urn:uuid:583cd58d-5356-4930-8661-4d21a31e0a0c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://realbabymilk.org/red-hatorange-hat/ | 2019-07-19T23:27:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526386.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719223744-20190720005744-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.954456 | 753 |

AbstractA search for evidence of supersymmetry with a three lepton and missing transverse energy signature is presented. This signature is a possible final state from the associated production of a chargino and a neutralino, two particles predicted by supersymmetry. The study is performed on 2.06 fb⁻¹ of 7 TeV center of mass energy proton-proton collisions, recorded with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in 2011. A multivariate analysis is utilized, implementing a boosted decision tree classifier using lepton p(T), missing transverse energy, dilepton mass, and the razor variable R as inputs. No significant excess over the Standard Model prediction is observed, and upper limits are placed on the cross section times branching ratio of simplified models across a mass parameter space.

Nowadays, if you work for a company that has a retirement program, it’s most likely going to be some variation of the 401(k). These plans have largely replaced pension plans as the vehicle of choice for companies to offer retirement benefits to their employees. And I’ve personally always been a pretty big fan of the 401(k). Sure, they aren’t perfect, and many financial bloggers and advisors out there prefer other options like IRAs and Roth IRAs, but I think the 401(k) still retains its place as one of the best ways most people should save for retirement.
I say this for several reasons:
- Higher Limits – Most retirement plans have contributions limits, which is to say there’s only so much money you can put into them. That’s because the government is giving tax breaks to those who participate, so they want to make sure the rich don’t take advantage of their generosity and use them as “tax shelters.” So, for example, the IRA and Roth IRA have limits of $5,500/year (and you can only choose one or the other, not both.) The 401(k) also has limits, but they are $18,000 ($24,000 for those 50+), and the company can still put in matching contributions above that amount. The bottom line is that most people will need to save more than $5,500/year for retirement.
- Pay Yourself First – The 401(k) allows you a quick and easy way to “pay yourself first” (or, save money out of your paycheck before you get a chance to spend any of it.) In fact, it is literally first, because you get a tax deduction on your contribution, meaning that you pay yourself before even the tax man gets his piece. That’s really first!
- Reminders – We all need to be reminded every once in awhile to save for retirement. With all the other needs and wants clamoring for your money, long-term goals can get swept under the rug. That’s why it’s helpful when your open enrollment comes around for work every year. It’s just another reminder to up your 401(k) contribution rate.
- Incentives – But the most important reason 401(k)s are a great way to save for retirement is the incentives that your work offers. Some plans offer a matching contribution to encourage you to contribute. Be sure to at least contribute enough to get the full match offered, otherwise you’re just giving away FREE MONEY!
And now, with the introduction of the Roth 401(k), you can add flexibility to that list, because now you can choose whether you want a tax deduction up front or in retirement. Not sure what I mean? Check out this post on how to choose between before-tax and after tax contributions.
Of course, the 401(k) does have it’s drawbacks, such as higher fees (often) and fewer investment choices (most of the time). Still, on balance I think it’s clearly the best way to start saving for retirement for most people.
By the way, I came across this great video from John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight that’s pretty dang funny, and actually gives some decent advice. Check it out:
How Much Should I Have in My 401k?
Nobody likes to talk about money, much less how much they have in their 401k. It’s one of those “off limit” topics, like sex and religion. But it’s important to occasionally take a hard look at where you are in relation to where you want to be, so that you can make the necessary adjustments, if needed.
When it comes to money, I always encourage people to look at where they are in relation to their own individual goals, as opposed to comparing themselves to others. However, for an article like this, I obviously can’t know each individual reader’s personal goals and aspirations. For example, if you’re passionate about retiring early and devoting your life to charity or an important hobby, then obviously you should be aggressively funding your 401(k) retirement account and therefore should have a much larger account balance at an earlier age.
On the other hand, if you’re perhaps self-employed, and devoting all your time and money into building your business, the 401(k) balance will likely be a smaller piece of the puzzle to look at. If your business succeeds, you may be able to retire and live off the income, with your 401(k) as gravy on the top.
What Is the Right 401(k) Balance for My Age?
With all that said, I think it is still helpful to look at a hypothetical couple just saving for “normal” retirement goals (as if there is such a thing) to see what their 401(k) balance should be at different ages. Obviously, whenever you are running any sort of projection into the future, a number of assumptions have to be made. I will detail all of them at the end of the article, but the basic idea is this: I’m assuming the median family income in the U.S. for married households (median means half were lower, half were higher) based on the most recent census data.
In addition, I’ll assume that this hypothetical household starts saving 15% towards retirement as soon as they graduated college at age 22. Last, I’ll use a range of investment returns based on historical data but reduced slightly to be more conservative. (Again, see the assumptions at the end of this article for more details.)
Also, if you’re interested in what kinds of long-term returns you can expect to get from stocks, check out my recent post on that topic.
So, how are you doing? Are you within the values listed for your age? No?
Well then, that’s the reason for this post, to answer the question: how much should I contribute to my 401k?
How Much to Contribute to 401k in 30s
So we’ve already established that if you start early enough, you can probably get away with only a 10-15% contribution rate to your 401(k). But if not, you will obviously need to increase that. By the time you reach your 30s, you’re probably settled into a career and hopefully finished paying off those pesky student loans. So you can afford to put away a little more to catch up.
If that’s you, I recommend dialing up your contributions to at least 20%. You may find that is a little difficult, so here’s three suggestions to help:
- Give the Taxman a Hard Shove Outta the Way — Make all your contributions on a “pre-tax” basis, which means you get a tax deduction right away. Your payroll folks will withhold less for Federal and state income taxes, effectively easing the pain a little bit. Instead of losing 20% of your income, it will probably be more like about 13-15% after the reduction in taxes.
- Focus on Yourself First — If you have kids, this next recommendation can be hard, but I sincerely think it’s 100% necessary. You have to save for retirement before you even think about college funding. Yes, paying for college is hard, but if push comes to shove, you (or your kids) can always borrow money for college. Or, perhaps they can work and go to school at the same time. Or, they could even try the smartest way to pay for college. I don’t have space to detail all the reasons why, so check out my post on why parents should save for retirement first before worrying about saving for college for their kids.
- Try the Anti-Budget — I like to do the right things the easy way. Basically, I trick myself into doing what I should do by “paying myself first,” and then seeing how much it hurts at the end of the month. So, I increased my 401k contributions gradually over time, until I could max them out without running into credit card debt or spending through my “emergency fund.” Here’s more on the anti-budget approach.
How Much to Contribute to 401k in 40s
Again, if you find yourself solidly within the numbers on that chart above, and aren’t trying to live like a baller in retirement, you can probably stick to the 10-15% contribution rate. Everybody else, it’s time to put our big boy and big girl pants on, and get to work.
Think at least 30% of your gross income.
I know that’s a painful number, but it is what it is. I can’t re-invent math for you, and to put in less but still get to a decent retirement is going to require unrealistic investment returns. To get them, you’re probably going to end up taking investment risks that you shouldn’t, just to try and catch up, which is a recipe for disaster in my experience. Don’t put yourself in that position. Check out You Need a Budget, get control of your money, and save, save, save!
How Much to Contribute to 401k in 50s and 60s
At this stage, what’s more important is the investment return (or avoiding permanent loss of capital) that is compounding your nest egg. Think of it like this, you can max out your 401(k) at the current limit of $24,000/year, but if you have a $1 million portfolio that gets just 5% in return, that’s $50,000, or double the amount of your contribution.
For this reason, an investment plan is absolutely vital for your financial health at this stage. Read about why you need to put your investments on auto-pilot here.
Still, if you are behind, it’s obvious that you should contribute as much as you possibly can. Once you’ve hit the max on the 401k, you can also use Roth IRAs (if eligible) or just a plain old investment account. Check out Betterment for a good place to start. Or Vanguard if you are more of a DIY investor.
- Inflation rate: I used 3% which is the long-term historical average in the U.S.
- Returns: I used a range of 6-8% for the minimum and maximum values. This represents the average annual historical return for a balanced to moderately aggressive stock and bond portfolio since 1926. See my article on the long term return of stocks for more details. I have reduced those returns by about 1-2% further to be conservative.
- Income: Based on the 2015 U.S. census data, the median household income for a married couple is about $85,000/year. However, I’ve made assumptions about the income growth of our hypothetical couple in an attempt to be realistic about a “typical” career path. So they started with $40,000/year and their income grew to about $110,000 by age 65 (again, in today’s dollars).
- Today’s dollars: I’ve discounted all the values shown by 3% inflation to show the amount in “today’s dollars.” This article from Investopedia is helpful in explaining Time Value of Money and why it’s important.
- Retirement Income: I assumed the median income in retirement of $85,000/year, less the pre-retirement savings rate and FICA tax.
- Social Security: I assumed a moderate level of Social Security income, but altered to show a lower inflation rate on benefits due to the unfunded nature of the program. | <urn:uuid:f5e53f72-e818-49c6-a1f9-f90f7df72933> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://smartmoneynation.com/how-much-should-i-contribute-to-401k/ | 2019-07-19T22:52:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526386.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20190719223744-20190720005744-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.95418 | 2,489 |
Each person is unique, so a diet should always be planned according to individual needs. Below are eight fundamental guidelines for healthy eating that can be followed within the scope of your healthy diet:
1. Eat Mindfully.
Most people eat too quickly, putting an unnecessary burden on their digestive systems. Your frame of mind is of utmost importance at mealtime; relax and slowly chew your food for optimal digestion and assimilation.
Chewing is a major part of digestion—remember, your stomach does not have teeth. The digestive process, particularly the digestion of starches, begins in the mouth, where enzymes are produced to help break down and absorb nutrients. Chew each bit of food twenty times and savor the flavor with joy, repose, and gratefulness.
2. Take care with good preparation.
The best ways to prepare foods so that nutrients stay intact (or, at least, are minimally lost) are steaming, stir-frying in water, stewing, and baking. Even the best quality oils become carcinogenic when heated. So if oil is desired, drizzle and stir it into the food after turning off the heat.
The best utensils for cooking are glass, earthenware, enamel-coated, or stainless steel cookware. Avoid cooking in aluminum, copper, and Teflon-coated pans—these materials can easily seep into the food. Stay away from irradiated foods when possible.
3. Favor whole foods.
Foods should be eaten in their wholeness whenever possible. Only peel fruits or vegetables with peels that are hard to digest, like papayas or bananas, or if they are sprayed with pesticides and herbicides. Search out organic foods, or wash nonorganic foods in salt water or with a vegetable and fruit wash to eliminate or neutralize the toxins. Avoid highly processed and refined foods—they’re stripped of critical nutrients and then the nutrients are added back into the food after processing. My book the “Tao of Nutrition” can give you nutrition tips for what whole foods to eat to keep you healthy.
4. Say no to genetically modified (GM) food.
GM plants have been genetically manipulated to make them more productive or more resistant to herbicide. One of the side effects is that more herbicides are used to kill off weeds but spare the GM plants thereby causing more damage to the environment and leaving more carcinogenic chemical residues on the plant. Moreover the seeds of the GM plants breeds with the wild variety creating harm to the natural plants’ immunity. In other words, GM plants are bad for the consumer and bad for the environment.
5. Eat locally and in season.
Nature has the perfect plan for providing appropriate foods for each season. The fruits and vegetables that ripen in the summer, like watermelon, collard greens, and zucchini, tend to be on the cooling side to counter the heat of the season. In winter you’ll tend toward a warming diet, including leeks, onions, and turnips. And by eating locally produced foods you are lessening global warming by not buying foods that have been transported many miles to get to your dinner table and support local farmers and businesses.
6. Eat regular meals.
Your body functions best when fed at regular intervals. Eat breakfast before 9:00 a.m., lunch before 1:00 p.m., and dinner before 7:00 p.m. You may want to snack between meals to keep your metabolism going. Nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and vegetables with healthy low-fat dips like hummus or black bean dip are good snacks to help you maintain your energy level. Eating smaller meals more frequently is what I call just-in-time nutrition—eat just enough to propel you for the next three to four hours so that you don’t store more than half of a big meal as fat. And don’t eat right before bedtime unless you want your stomach to be working all night long!
7. Eat to live.
You have the power to choose what you put into your mouth. Ask whether your food choices will contribute to your health and well being or cause future problems and suffering. It’s easy to eat that awfully tempting ice cream sundae, but it’s difficult to work it off by exercising for an hour. Eating an abundance of fruits and vegetables to provide your body with more age-reversing antioxidants is an excellent example of eating to live.
8. Find sweetness in life.
Many people lack happiness and sweetness in their lives, so they turn to food to fill the empty space within. Eating poorly as a response to feeling depressed and anxious is highly destructive to your health, and can be life threatening. The average American consumes more than 200 pounds of sugar each year. Rather than looking to food for sweetness, seek sweetness from your life by being kind to yourself, by forming meaningful relationships, and by being grateful for what you have.
All foods possess natural healing properties, so be sure to keep you meal colorful with a wide range of foods.
May you Live Long, Live Strong, and Live Happy!
