The private security industry has played a significant role in U.S. history and has been expanding its national presence since the 19th century. There are several factors that have significantly contributed to this growth. Generally, the major factors in the 19th century include, “the growth of the commercial sector, the great westward expansion of America in the 1840s and 1850s, the U.S. railroad systems, industrialization/unionization, and labor disputes” (Nemeth 8). Because of these factors, much of the public police forces were strained and sometimes either unable or unwilling to provide the necessary security for private interests. Additionally, many public police forces lacked experience, were undertrained, and had jurisdictional (county and state) restraints (Nemeth 8). The lack of an effective public police force created the perfect niche for private security and a man by the name of Allan Pinkerton helped fill that void with his national private detective and security company (Nemeth 9). Because of the considerable security needs in the private sector, and a public police force that was understaffed, undertrained, and had significant jurisdictional restrictions, the private security industry flourished and grew drastically in the following years. World War I, World War II, and the Cold War assured the continued growth of the private security industry in the 20th Century. Generally, “the secrecy and vulnerability of war usually brings a demand for more internal security” (Nemeth 12). Some of the contributing factors for increased security during a time of war include a greater need of the government to; protect secrets and information from falling into the hands of the enemy, protect critical infrastructure from attack, provide government buildings and officials with protection from attack, and increase the response effort for any attack on U.S. soil (Nemeth 12-13). Additionally, much During the Cold War, there was a constant threat of a nuclear attack for the Soviet Union and this “secrecy and vulnerability” in the United States was significantly increased due to the magnitude of the threat. This led the founding of The Wachenhut Corporation and its subsequent growth to becoming, “one of the largest private security contractors in the United States” (Nemeth 13). The growth in private security has continued to go up since the 19th century and the projections for future growth remain positive (Nemeth 12-16). Post 9/11 America has seen a continued growth rate for private security because terrorism.

The opportunity is now there for the 27-year-old to make it in the best competition in the world and you would have to give him every chance of doing so if past exploits are anything to go by.
The old adage maintains that those that work hard usually reach their goals and that certainly rings true for Ingles.
Ever since he made his professional debut in the NBL in 2006, Ingles has been a valuable team player that coaches just love to have at their disposal.
He has always been willing to get his hands dirty at the defensive end and usually gains just as much satisfaction from picking up a key charge as he does from nailing a corner three.
His tendency to 'pass first' on offence ahead of jacking up a contested shot may not be the motto of some NBA stars, but it is what gains the respect of most successful coaches around the world.
Australian basketball legend Brian Goorjian loved having Ingles on his side back in the South Dragons days, while current Cavs coach David Blatt often used Ingles in his line-ups when he was in charge of Maccabi Tel Aviv last season.
Ingles and Blatt tasted success with Maccabi Tel Aviv earlier this year as they upset Real Madrid to claim the Euroleague Championship and both would fancy their chances of doing the double with their respective NBA teams this time around.
During his career Ingles has shown he is capable of defending most positions on the court, but it appears likely the South Australian will have to spend the majority of his time at the small forward position with the Clippers.
And interestingly enough, this is the one position the Clippers don't appear to have all that much depth in.
Veteran Matt Barnes is likely to start in this spot, but his backups at this stage only really include an ageing Hedo Türkoglu and second year pro Reggie Bullock.
J.J. Redick, C.J. Wilcox, Chris Douglas-Roberts and Jamal Crawford could easily spend time at the 'three', but Ingles certainly has a shot at getting in the rotation if he can impress Doc Rivers and the coaching staff.
It's important to note that at the moment Ingles isn't guaranteed a roster spot and it is being reported that he is vying with Jared Cunningham for the final spot on the team.
He could easily fail to impress during training camps and the pre-season and end up playing in the D-League or back in Europe when the Clippers commence their campaign against the Thunder on October 30.
But if Ingles maintains the hunger he has shown throughout his already illustrious career then you can be assured that he will fit in well with his new side and prove that he belongs with the best in the world. | <urn:uuid:35573b82-e91a-484a-8bb9-5af7dbcf5a10> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.sportingnews.com/au/nba/news/opportunity-knocks-for-ingles/1wrn01znc0sn41lnb43flwmlsb | 2019-07-21T06:58:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526931.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721061720-20190721083720-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.983015 | 562 |
Australia’s War on Feral Cats
Australia is at war. The enemy, according to the government are feral cats.
Be warned that what you are about to read is true.
According to the Australian Government Department of Environment and Energy in an stepped-up effort to protect and in some cases save endangered indigenous animal species, by 2020:
- Two million feral cats culled across Australia
- Feral cats eradicated from five new islands
- 10 new feral cat free mainland exclosures established
- 10 million hectares of feral cat action, using the best techniques for each location
- Best practice feral cat action implemented across two million hectares of Commonwealth land
The idea is to leave out bait with sausage, called Curiosity, containing a toxin. Aside from concerns regarding children, dogs or wildlife getting into the toxin – and even potentially reaching the water table – how is this a humane approach? And if history is any clue, it will unlikely be effective. Throughout time, government programs worldwide have attempted to shoot the cats or poison them – and while individual populations here and there are effectively wiped out, cats’ overall numbers barely declined using these tactics. Cats, over time, also get wise to the bait.
When numbers decline in cat colonies, they simply have more babies to make up the diminished numbers. Cats are induced ovulators – and females are potentially baby machines.
Cats first arrived in Australia at some point in the 17th century. They are not native to Australia, so native animals aren’t able to protect themselves very well. Since then, feral cat numbers have ballooned, with the population today estimated to cover 99.8% of the country. Having said that while cats have imperiled many species, other factors such as habitat destruction and even climate change have been a factor.
The problem in Australia is complicated by the fact that at least some people allow their cats outdoors, and a small percent of those are not spayed or neutered. This issue could be rectified – but hasn’t been.
Had Australia (and New Zealand with a similar problem) begun trap-neuter-return (TNR) years ago, they would have at least made some progress. For whatever the reason that hasn’t been tried by the government. TNR is a program where cat caretakers trap cats, have them spayed or neutered and return them to allow them to live our their lives. Yes, they will continue to eat – but if caretakers supplement their diet with tasty manufactured food, they don’t hunt wildlife nearly as often. One challenge is that some cats live in areas where people don’t live.
Also, a downside of TNR is that it takes a while for populations to decline
Here’s the Australian government defense of their tactics: By the end of 2016, researchers from RMIT University in Melbourne reported that an estimated 211,000 feral cats had been culled as part of the initiative, but also estimated that 83 percent of those animals had been shot, rather than poisoned. More up-to-date figures were not included in the progress report relating to the period ending in December 2017.
In order to achieve the goal of eradicating two million feral cats, the first action listed by the government was the “development and deployment of Curiosity, the new humane feral cat bait.” Australia’s Department of Environment and Energy had spent years developing and testing Curiosity, a new form of sausage bait that, according to the government, is less likely than existing baits to be consumed by other animals:
Australia is home to some of the world’s most unique animals and plants. More than 80 per cent of the nation’s mammals and 90 per cent of trees, ferns and shrubs occur nowhere else on earth. Since European settlement, over 130 of known species have become extinct: lost to the world forever.
I most certainly applaud the Australian Government’s goal to recover and protect threatened plants and animals. I do question the need to what amounts to annihilating cats, or at least attempting to do so. | <urn:uuid:bd3ec5b6-16ea-46f0-ab8a-2186b64f096c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.stevedalepetworld.com/blog/australias-war-on-feral-cats/ | 2019-07-21T07:12:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526931.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721061720-20190721083720-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.96137 | 845 |

- 1 large onion, cubed
- 3 carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 3 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 potatoes, cubed
- Olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 whole chicken, giblets removed (about 4 pounds)
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh Parsley
- 4-6 cloves garlic, diced
Place the chopped vegetables into your slow cooker, drizzle them lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put the chicken on top, nestling it in with the vegetables.
Place the sprigs of rosemary inside the chicken. Then, rub the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle it with salt, pepper, and parsley. Sprinkle the diced garlic over the chicken and vegetables.
Cook the chicken on low for 4 to 6 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. The cooking time will depend on the size of the chicken. Do not add any additional liquid; the juice from the chicken will mix with the olive oil and cook the vegetables to perfection. | <urn:uuid:0cd6ee8c-f92d-4b81-8edd-a801a6b70bcd> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.thedailymeal.com/recipes/whole-chicken-and-vegetables-crock-pot-recipe | 2019-07-21T06:56:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526931.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721061720-20190721083720-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.866824 | 241 |
What's in a name? In a deleted scene from the Sunday, May 22, episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kris Jenner tells Khloé Kardashian that she is preparing for a major moniker change.
The E! series clip shows Jenner, 60, telling her daughter, 31, that she refers to herself as "Kris Kardashian" when she makes restaurant reservations. The reality TV staple finalized her divorce from the late Robert Kardashian in March 1991 and married Bruce Jenner a month later.
When Khloé points out that her legal last name is Jenner, the momager replies, "I'm going to change my name back to Kardashian. … I was that before you were that. I was the original Kardashian."
A startled Khloé asks, "Don't you think that's insulting to your two daughters?" And Jenner fires back, "If Bruce can change his name to Caitlyn, I think I'm good."
This is not the first time the cookbook author has voiced this plan. Jenner mentioned on a previous Keeping Up episode — back when she was still married to Bruce — that she was considering changing her name to Kardashian.
Keeping Up With the Kardashians airs on E! Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.

A new study analyzed a claim that seems to be quite popular with the nationalists: the idea that immigrant students drain resources from local students, reducing their performance.
Not only was this found to not be true, but the opposite actually stands: immigrants in the classroom seem to improve performance all across the board.
The case against immigration follows one general belief: that immigrants take away resources from the local population, reducing performance and wellbeing. Researchers are BYU and the University of Albany wanted to put that idea to the test in the classroom and see if it stands.
“The current political environment shows a big push against immigration that in many ways is driven by an argument that immigrants will pull resources from the host country,” said Mikaela Dufur, a sociology professor at BYU. “The thought is if you want to protect the host country you need to really limit immigration to protect those resources.”
They analyzed data from 260,000 students from more than 10,000 academic institutions over 41 high-income countries, focusing on three groups: native-born students (parents and students born in that country), second-generation students (students born in that country but parents born in another) and first-generation students (students born outside of the current country).
The groups were also more homogeneous the more immigrants there were, which is a positive indicator for overall classroom performance. In countries with lower immigration rate (<15%), immigrants perform about 15 to 20 points below native-born students. Where immigration lies between 15% and 25%, native-born students and immigrants are within 10 points of each other, and where 25% or more are foreign-born, all three groups perform within five points of each other.
“We were pleasantly surprised it wasn’t just a neutral effect for the native kids but that they actually did better with more immigrant kids in their class,” Dufur said.
The school is probably one of the best environments to put the anti-immigration idea to the test because children are so vulnerable to resource misallocation.
“We were really interested in looking at education because we thought kids would be the most vulnerable citizens of the host country,” Dufur said. “If you were going to drain resources from kids, you should really see an effect of that and you might want to have stricter immigration policies to protect them.”
“The findings indicate that immigrant students perform similarly to native-born students when considering other contextual factors, with socioeconomic status moderating the effect of immigrant status. Furthermore, all students, immigrant and nonimmigrant students alike, benefit academically from more immigration,” the team concludes.
The fact that this was not the case, and that immigration actually improved academic performance should be an important indicator for policymakers, Dufur says. The positive aspects of having a rich migratory population should be considered when drafting immigration policies and restrictions, they conclude.
The study “The Influence of Foreign-born Population on Immigrant and Native-born Students’ Academic Achievement” has been published in Socius. | <urn:uuid:3c674b0f-466e-43e3-8656-c35d448b6c4f> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/immigrants-better-results-schoolchildren-22062019/ | 2019-07-21T07:57:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526931.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721061720-20190721083720-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.971164 | 634 |
How Cuemath is creating meaningful opportunities for educated homemakersShweta Vitta
Delhi-based Cuemath is creating a home-based math learning network in India. With 2,000 centres across 9 cities, Cuemath is aiming to expand to 5,000 centres by 2018, as well as expand to Tier II and III cities.
A young, feisty Priyanka fought with her family to pursue her MBA. When she first entered the workforce, she was a step closer to the dream she nurtured since childhood; of being a fiercely independent woman. Priyanka worked steadily for six years, allowing nothing to stop her. During those years, she even got married, moved from Jodhpur to Bengaluru and started all over again. But four years ago, motherhood knocked doors and overnight, she gave up her career. She says, “I didn’t have a goal in my life anymore; I went into depression. I would relentlessly search for work from home opportunities, which were limited to data entry and recruitment. But, I wanted something that wasn’t repetitive, and would allow me to grow intellectually.”
Things changed in February 2016 when Priyanka received a congratulatory e-mail from Cuemath, a technology-driven content platform. She had successfully cleared a stringent selection process and was eligible to undertake after-school math enrichment programmes for neighbourhood children from LKG to class 8.
There were over 25,000 women who had applied across six cities. For Priyanka, being selected was a “matter of pride.” Today, she teaches eight children every evening. Next year, once her son enters school, Priyanka will have more time. She says, “I am aiming to increase my class to 40 students by end of next year and Cuemath is guiding me towards reaching that goal.”
Gender parity – a silent, growing problem
The number of applications Cuemath receives on an ongoing basis is a testimony to an untackled, long-pressing problem - gender parity. McKinsey Global Institute's report titled, 'The power of parity: How advancing women's equality can add $12 trillion to global growth' throws deeper light into this issue worldwide and the colossal economic implications it has. The report estimates the incremental country-wise and global GDP that can be added under two scenarios – full potential (wherein women play an identical role in labour markets to that of men) and best-in-region. In a realistic scenario, if India were to perform on par with its fastest-improving neighbour (Singapore), that alone would lead to a 0.7 trillion or 16 percent increase in 10 years.
This estimated increase isn’t something that can be easily overlooked. Especially when India is projected to become the world’s third-largest economy by 2030 and women constitute nearly half of our demographic dividend.
Among McKinsey’s six intervention recommendations, the “creation of economic opportunity” naturally becomes paramount. But how do we create these opportunities when a significant number of educated women willingly leave the work force to focus on their families? They have a few hours to spare and we must tap into their potential in a mutually beneficial manner. There is a critical need to open new intellectual vistas that raise these homemakers’ aspirations, enabling them to positively contribute to our growing economy.
Cuemath – Tapping the untapped
Against this untapped backdrop, Delhi-based Cuemath (founded in 2011) comes in as a revolutionary model. It empowers educated homemakers to deliver math learning to neighbourhood children by setting up home-based centres which are run independently; timings and intake of students are decided by the homemakers themselves. Founder Manan Khurma’s business acumen worked has exceptionally well; Cuemath’s network of tutors are running over 2,000 centres across nine cities.
But for a centre to sustain, it’s equally imperative to ensure high-quality academic output. And, this is where Manan’s decade-long experience as a Math tutor to over 5,000 students steps in. Manan strongly believes that “math shouldn’t be restricted to helping students solve school-based syllabus, but must be imparted holistically which would broaden the reasoning and analytical abilities of the children.” Cuemath’s model now becomes more appealing because it’s “not a regular tuition” but an after-school math learning programme that has a three-pronged approach – (1) school math, (2) mental aptitude (verbal, non-verbal, logical and calculation skills), (3) creative reasoning (to develop out-of-the-box thinking).
And the company is able to effectively deliver this well-rounded approach to students through its uniquely designed, in-depth curriculum which is a combination of worksheets, tab-based exercises and puzzles; giving students an immersive experience in math. While on the one hand, this eliminates subjectivity, on the other, it allows women with no prior tutoring experience to join Cuemath. Priyanka is one such woman. She says, “The syllabus ensures that a child grasps every concept completely, but in a gradual and interesting manner using different approaches. We facilitate the entire process and strategise how the child can learn effectively.”
The model is clearly scalable and impactful. It’s tackling two pressing problems at the same time in a successful manner – helping the holistic and long-term development of childrens’ mathematical abilities and empowering homemakers. Over the next two years, Manan is aiming to scale to 5,000 centres as well as expand to Tier II and III cities. Imagine the exponential impact the model would have on the lives of women and children across semi-urban and rural India – where empowerment of this kind is most needed.
While the world continues to debate, advocate and quantify the issue of gender parity, Manan is silently opening doors of possibilities for women across India.

Milkman is a tale of gossip and hearsay, silence and deliberate deafness. It is the story of inaction with enormous consequences.
Anna Burns has become the first Northern Irish author to win the Man Booker prize, taking the £50,000 award for Milkman, her timely, Troubles-set novel about a young woman being sexually harassed by a powerful man.
‘The narrator of Milkman disrupts the status quo not through being political, heroic or violently opposed, but because she is original, funny, disarmingly oblique and unique: different.’ – The Guardian
Anna Burns’ utterly distinctive voice challenges conventional thinking and form in surprising and immersive prose. Set in a thinly-disguised Troubles-era Belfast, Anna Burns’ novel focuses on its nameless, 18-year-old narrator and her affair with the sinister ‘Milkman’, a much older married man allied with the paramilitaries. ‘While Milkman is a work of timely universality, it is also a distinctly Irish novel,’ observes the New Statesman, ‘a darkly mirthful satire with a twist of Beckettian melancholy and an anarchic touch of Swift.’
Anna Burns’ novel Milkman is available for £6.99 from Waterstones. | <urn:uuid:3abfb65a-058d-414d-8058-d379900a7f92> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://northernlifemagazine.co.uk/anna-burns-milkman/ | 2019-07-22T12:25:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.943618 | 272 |
Is your website mobile responsive?
In the digital age, making sure your website adapts to mobile devices is more important than you may realise
Nowdays it’s imperative that your website is responsive
For those who may not know, responsiveness refers to the way your website ‘responds’ to different devices and screen sizes. So regardless of the device the user is viewing the website on, the page and its element will automatically reformat, resize or reposition themselves (sometimes change content entirely) to maximise usability and create a better user experience. Due to the vast difference in screen sizes out there, responsive behaviour ensures your website’s content doesn’t look too cramped on small screens, or too sparse on big screens.
Perhaps the most significant part of this topic though is responsive behaviour for mobile devices. The number of website views on mobile devices is skyrocketing and shows no sign of slowing down. Having a responsive website has a number of benefits, most notably the SEO benefit of Google recommendations.
The shift towards mobile
Recent statistics reveal just how huge the shift to mobile devices has been in the last few years. The stats show that there are more than 4 billion people worldwide (that’s well over half the population) using the internet, with much of the growth in this connectivity attributed to the increasing affordability of smart phones and mobile data plans.
Due to the increasingly likely nature that visitors to your website will be on a mobile device or tablet, it is becoming ever more important to ensure users can navigate your website on a size reduced platform. The functionality on each device is crucial to the user experience.
In 2015 Google introduced a new way of ranking websites in their search results based on their usability. Websites that are fully responsive and mobile friendly are now rewarded with higher ranking in searches that include their keywords. More recently, Google have made a new attempt to improve mobile web experience. They have started implementing mobile-first indexing strategies by ranking and indexing a site based on their mobile version of the website over the desktop version, making responsive websites more important than ever.
Benefits of fully responsive websites
The main benefit of a fully responsive website is its user experience. Having a flexible site that can adjust to fit the users screen makes the site infinitely easier to navigate.
A well designed site that is optimised for a user friendly experience will speak volumes to your customer and create a positive perception of your brand and business. Their positive experience will likely result in them returning to you for more business in the future. With the increasing trend towards mobile users its important that you cater to this audience.
Sites that are mobile friendly generally load faster which is also likely to positively effect your ranking and decrease your bounce rate on visitors to the site. The sites speed can also make sharing on social platforms far easier and in turn grow your audience.
Mobile friendly websites are the new industry standard – are you keeping up? If you have any questions, just drop us a line, we’re happy to help!

The Vow of the Nazirite
Two separate and distinct subjects are detailed in the 27 verses of Chapter 6 – separation and blessing. And yet, they are also united in thought. The first deals with separation to God through the Nazirite vow. The second deals with the separation of the people, Israel, from among the people of the world through a unique and peculiar blessing.
Separation and division is a logical part of the way God works. The Lord separated the nations of the world according to His design. Israel is separated from the world’s people. Levi is separated from among Israel. The priests are separated from their brothers in the tribe of Levi. Nazirites are separated for special service. And so on.
It is too often, and with a total lack of clarity, that we see separation as a bad thing. The people of the world have looked at the Jews as abhorrent because they have kept themselves separate from the nations. That was seen in the words of Haman in Esther, and it has been seen among the people of the world ever since.
The church is divided in ten thousand ways, and yet, it has been a force not for evil, but for good. Though there is one true invisible church, if there were but one true and visible church, the people would follow its path no matter how abhorrent it was. That has actually been seen in major denominations time and time again. It was also seen in the Old Testament system in Israel. It is the division within the church which has maintained the integrity of the church. Like the motto for the United States, the true church is E Pluribus Unum – “Out of many, one.”
Text Verse: “‘“I raised up some of your sons as prophets,
And some of your young men as Nazirites.
Is it not so, O you children of Israel?”
Says the Lord.
12 “But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink,
And commanded the prophets saying,
‘Do not prophesy!”’” Amos 2:11, 12
Like the world, which is trying to break down borders, unite as one, and remove all obstacles to complete control, there are those who are attempting to do the same in the church. The World Council of Churches is one such example. There is a fundamental problem with this, both on a national level and on a spiritual, church-related level.
With such breaking down of barriers, there will inevitably be a top-down control of all others. It is the inescapable outcome of removing set divisions. Those who resist these changes are the ones who will be reckoned as wrongdoers. Israel will never give up her Jewishness. True churches will never yield to an apostate body.
Division is good and it serves a purpose. And although the Lord is not divided in the sense of goals or purpose, there is a distinction between the members of the Godhead. This is the mystery of the Trinity – One God; three persons. Along with the separation of the Nazirites to the Lord, Chapter 27 gives us a taste of the unique nature of God Himself.
Unfortunately, we will only be able to complete the first section of the chapter today, that of the Nazirite vow. It was an important part of the life of Israel; but, unfortunately, the people abused the guidelines, caused their Nazirites to break their vows, and that surely brought on them a curse.
The separation of the people, Israel, and the separation of the Nazirites within the people during their time of vow, were intended to highlight the holiness of God. But God also remained separate from them because of their fallen nature. The law was born of an imperfect priesthood filled with fallible men. God allowed these things in order to bring about the coming of His Son to fulfill this very same law and bring about a new type of separation, and a new type of oneness which comes with a more perfect blessing.
This is the marvel of what God has done. He has brought forth a Branch of Righteousness – and a perfect, pure, and undefiled Vine – out of a system administered through fallible people. Today we will see the first half of this chapter’s equation – that of separation. Next week, we will see the second half – that of blessing. In these you will learn a great deal about the working of God, both for Israel and in Christ. It’s all to be found in His superior word. And so let’s turn to that precious word once again and… May God speak to us through His word today and may His glorious name ever be praised.
I. The Vow of the Nazirite (verses 1-12)
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Maintaining purity of the camp, and sanctity among the people, was highlighted in Chapter 5. There was the command to move all defiled people out of the camp. Then there was the idea of confession and restitution concerning guilt. After that came the law of the bitter water, the holy polygraph, for possibly unfaithful wives. Each of these held to the idea of maintaining both physical and spiritual purity.
Moses is now directed in a unique aspect of Israelite life, that of a particular type of vow of consecration to the Lord. This is not a command, but rather an instruction for those who so make the vow. Though not a command to perform the rite, it includes commands for the performance of it. This is seen with the next words…
What is submitted to Moses by the Lord is for the people of Israel. It is something which is limited to them alone, and not intended for any who have not joined to the people. Thus, no stranger or foreigner among them can be included in what is now presented.
2 (con’t) ‘When either a man or woman
This is actually a rather remarkable allowance. Almost all matters of law and society are directed specifically to males. Further, it is a stark contrast to the law of the bitter water which was just seen in Chapter 5. That was a law directed for the benefit of the males when a spirit of jealousy came upon them.
However, what is now to be presented is actually highlighted and receives a special dignity because it is available to both man and woman. The only time this would not come into effect for a woman is if her father or husband, under whose authority she was, negated the vow. However, other than that, it is something a woman could participate in. This begins to be seen with the next words…
2 (con’t) consecrates an offering
Here, the verb pala, or “wonder,” is translated as “consecrates.” It was translated as “miracle” in relation to God’s workings in Egypt. The idea is that as a wonder, or miracle, is something out of the normal, so a vow is something out of the normal. It is above and beyond what is considered regular. Even today, when someone does something above and beyond, we will proclaim, “Well, isn’t that wonderful.” This carries the idea being conveyed.
2 (con’t) to take the vow of a Nazirite,
The word is nazir. It is not the same as a Nazarene, meaning someone from Nazareth. What will be presented is not a marker of identification with the Lord Jesus in any way, shape, or form. Though He is separated to God in a unique way, it will be seen that it is not as a Nazirite mentioned here. We know this based on the restrictions to be imposed upon them, none of which applied to Him. Rather, the word comes from the verb nazar, or “to separate.” Thus it signifies separation or consecration.
It was used to describe Joseph who was separated, or distinguished, above his brothers. Joseph was a type of Christ, but he was not a Nazirite. And so the word goes so far, but no further. It was also used concerning the untrimmed vines during the sabbath year observances in Israel. Being untrimmed, they would have a special appearance reflecting their consecrated status. As I said, it is true that Christ was separated among His brothers, like Joseph, but the intent of the Nazirite vow which is explained here has nothing to do with the life and conduct of Christ.
It needs to be noted that though this is a voluntary separation, there are instances where, by divine revelation, some people were devoted to the Lord throughout their lives. This was the case with Samson and John the Baptist. Further, Samuel was devoted by his mother as well.
2 (con’t) to separate himself to the Lord,
l’hazzir l’Yehovah – “to separate to Yehovah.” The meaning of the nazir finds its explanation in these words where the verb nazar is used. The person is consecrated to the Lord. Thus the nazir is one who is consecrated.
mi’yayin v’shakhar – “from wine and blinko drink.” A Nazirite was to be wholly kept from drinks containing alcohol, be they wine, or be they something of a higher potency. In this, we see a stricter demand on the individual than even the priests. They were only forbidden from drinking during their times of service in the tent of meeting. In this, we also see a standard which was not imposed on Jesus who both made and drank wine. Thus we can see that the term Nazarene in Matthew 2:23 is not referring to Nazirites, in Numbers. However, the separation goes further…
3 (con’t) he shall drink neither vinegar made from wine nor vinegar made from similar drink;
Here is a new word, khomets, or vinegar. It comes from khamets, or the verb meaning “to leaven,” and thus it signifies “to ferment.” The Nazirite is prohibited from vinegar made from either wine or blinko drink. Fermentation is a type of corruption, and thus the symbolism is that of purity and incorruption.
3 (con’t) neither shall he drink any grape juice, nor eat fresh grapes or raisins.
Here is a word found only this once in the Bible, mishrah, or liquor. It is from a word which gives the sense of loosening, and thus it is steeped juice. It is a liquor made from anavim, or grapes. The Nazirite is forbidden from any such drink. Along with this he or she is not to eat any grapes, period – either fresh or dried. And to ensure that there is no confusion, the words continue…
Two more unique words are found here. The first is khartsanim, or seed. It is from kharats, meaning to point sharply, as if in wounding someone. Thus it signifies the sharp bitter taste which comes from the seed. The second is zag, or skin. It is that which encloses the grape, and thus its skin. One must wonder on these prohibitions. The avoidance of all sorts of intoxicating drinks makes sense, but to be kept from grapes or even the products of grapes seems to have no meaning. However, the vine produces grapes, and grapes produce an effect. Deuteronomy 32 speaks of all three – the gephen, or vine; the enav, or grape; and yayin, or wine, in relation to the people of Israel –
“For they are a nation void of counsel,
Nor is there any understanding in them.
29 Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this,
That they would consider their latter end!
30 How could one chase a thousand,
And two put ten thousand to flight,
Unless their Rock had sold them,
And the Lord had surrendered them?
31 For their rock is not like our Rock,
Even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom
And of the fields of Gomorrah;
Their grapes are grapes of gall,
Their clusters are bitter.
33 Their wine is the poison of serpents,
And the cruel venom of cobras.” Deuteronomy 32:28-33
The effect of the vine, grape, and wine can be positive or negative. As the Nazirite is dedicated solely to the Lord, the true Vine as He says in John 12:1, during their consecration, they are to be freed from any such external influence. We are not told what the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden was, but the effects of the fruit of the vine would place it as a good candidate.
Christ’s first miraculous sign was to make wine, resulting in good. Mystery Babylon has a cup filled with the wine of her fornication; a cup of evil. Following the symbolism of the vine, the grape, and wine throughout the Bible – from Genesis to Revelation – it becomes clear why this strong prohibition was made. The Nazirite is dedicated to the Lord, and thus the only effect for him is to be that which the Lord Himself determines. As a side note concerning this. Samson’s mother was given this same prohibition during her pregnancy. That is found in Judges 13:7 –
“Now drink no wine or similar drink, nor eat anything unclean, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’”
The consecration was not for her, but for her son. Thus, we have another of the numerous verses in Scripture which indicate that from conception itself, humanity of the child in the womb is indicated. The child is reckoned as a person from that moment.
Here is a new and frightening word for people like me, the taar, or razor. It is also a sheath for a knife. Thus, it is that which makes bare or is bare. The Nazirite was to never use a razor upon his head. This was to be the case…
5 (con’t) until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to the Lord, he shall be holy.
The hair on the head was to be a marker of distinction, indicating the Nazirite’s separation to the Lord. In this, he was considered qadosh, or holy.
5 (con’t) Then he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
A new and rare word is found here – pera, or locks. It is the hair of the head which is expected to grow just as the vine of the Sabbath year was to be left untended, unkempt, and uncut. This lengthy, unwieldy hair was to be that marker of holiness and separation to the Lord. And there is a reason for this which is tied up in the word sear, or hair.
In the Bible, hair signifies an awareness. The hairy goat used as the sin offering is a sair. It was given as an awareness of sin committed. Esau was born hairy while Jacob, the son of promise, was smooth-skinned. The difference in their physical makeup was a picture of their spiritual heritage. But in order to receive the blessing, Jacob needed to emulate his hairy older brother. That was a picture of Jesus. The sinless Son of God took on the form of Adam in order to retrieve the blessing for us that he had lost. Here, the Nazirite’s hair was a reminder of the vow of separation to the Lord – his awareness of that fact.
This is now a third marker of the separation. The Nazirite was never, under any circumstances, to be near a dead body. To do so would render him or her unclean according to Levitical law. This prohibition would include entering a room where a corpse was, attending a funeral, and so on. Death is the final result of sin. Because of this, the one separated to the Lord was not to be defiled by the sin consequences of human death. The Nazirite was deemed as holy, but the unholiness of being near death would defile.
The prohibition here raises the separation of the Nazirite at least to the level of the high priest. He was also instructed to not go near any dead body, including his mother or father. The Nazirite is told this, but even further, the prohibition extends to both brother and sister. The strictness of the prohibition concerning drinking was greater than the priests, the priests were not restricted from the produce of the vine at all times, and only the high priest was restricted from being near a dead body. The separation of the Nazirite is therefore much more specific than even the priests.
7 (con’t) because his separation to God is on his head.
The hair is considered as a crown of separation. It is literally that which marks the separation, just as Samson’s hair is what separated him to the Lord. When the hair was cut, he no longer possessed the power which came with the hair.
The three markers of his separation – prohibition from alcoholic drinks and anything from the vine; the hair of the head; and being kept from defilement because of a dead person – all look to an unfallen life which was seen in paradise. The source of the knowledge of good and evil was kept away from, there was no awareness of wrongdoing, and there was no death. The Nazirite is wholly dedicated to the Lord.
Thus, in the fullest sense, these physical aspects of the Nazirite spiritually reflect one who is in Christ positionally. We are not under law – the source of the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20); we are not imputed sin (2 Corinthians 5:19); and we are granted eternal life (a jillion verses).
Here are two new words, one the source of the other – befeta pithom, or “very suddenly.” The idea here is that there was absolutely no way to avoid being near the death. Despite this…
9 (con’t) and he defiles his consecrated head,
Even by accidental nearness, the head of his consecration has become defiled. As this is so…
9 (con’t) then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it.
Numbers 19 gives the details for purification from defilement by death. A seven-day period involves ritual purification. When that is complete, the offender must shave his head. Even though this was unintentional, he is still an offender against the holiness of God. Therefore purification and atonement is required…
The number eight is the number of new beginnings. Thus, it is on this day that the once-defiled Nazirite will again start the process of fulfilling the vow. The offering is actually brought to the brazen altar, but the brazen altar and the door of the tent of meeting are intricately connected in Scripture. It is through the sacrifice that access to God is restored.
And so, by bringing the offering to the altar, it is an acknowledgment of this. The reason for this particular offering, and its significance, is detailed in Leviticus 15. To spur you on to a biblically productive and spiritually healthy afternoon, you are implored to go back and watch or read that sermon once again.
These offerings are typical of the sacrifice of Christ, and they are given in anticipation of His coming. Through them atonement is made for him, as it says, “because he sinned in regard to the corpse.” The lesson is that sin transfers and defiles that which is holy, but holiness does not transfer the other way. It is a lesson described in Haggai 2 –
“Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Now, ask the priests concerning the law, saying, 12 “If one carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with the edge he touches bread or stew, wine or oil, or any food, will it become holy?” ’ ”
Then the priests answered and said, “No.”
13 And Haggai said, “If one who is unclean because of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?”
So the priests answered and said, “It shall be unclean.” Haggai 2:11-13
The lesson is learned here, it is repeated elsewhere, and it should be remembered by us. Though we who are in Christ are not imputed our transgression as violations of law leading to death, we still carry defilement with us when we participate in that which is unclean. We are asked to separate ourselves from such things.
11 (con’t) and he shall sanctify his head that same day.
This means that he will once again begin to grow his hair during a renewed separation to the Lord. His hair shall remain uncut, and his actions shall be as prescribed already for the Nazirite.
Not only was atonement necessary for the sin committed, but a guilt offering is necessary as a type of payment for the days which have been lost, thus leading to a delay in the completion of the vow. The guilt offering is in acknowledgment of that.
Holy to the Lord, set apart to Him alone
With a marker of separation on his head for all to see
In this marker, his special distinction is shown
For all the days of the vow, this is how it is to be
Who would dare interfere with the vow this one has made?
Who would cause him to violate his holiness?
Should we be the cause of such an unholy trade?
Should we his holiness purposely suppress?
If such is so with a vow made by man towards his God
How much more should we be holy when we are are in Christ the Lord?
Shouldn’t we ever conduct our lives with purity in this life we trod?
And faithfully abide in Christ, being obedient to His word?
II. The Law of the Nazirite (verses 13-21)
The Nazirite vows were always considered as specific time periods by which a person was dedicated. Those who were dedicated as Nazirites from birth are not of this category. Their entire lives were given to the Lord. For those who simply made a vow of consecration, when that time ended, they were to be brought before the door of the tent of meeting, meaning to the brazen altar.
For the ending of the successfully completed consecration, instead of two turtledoves or two young pigeons, lambs are brought forth for the burnt and sin offerings. The requirement for a sin-offering shows that even a person who was dedicated as a Nazirite was not without shortcomings which required such an offering. As a fallen son of Adam, original sin existed, and surely the conduct of the Nazirite’s life, even under consecration, reflected that.
Due to the small size of the sin-offering, and the fact that it is named after the burnt-offering, it is an indication that any sin of the Nazirite was inconsequential in comparison to the faithfulness of the separation. However, the offering is still needed. It is an obvious picture that even the most faithful souls, who have carried out their lives in Christ in the highest manner of integrity to the Lord, still stand in need of the perfection of Christ to carry us through to the end.
14 (con’t) one ram without blemish as a peace offering,
The ram of this peace offering is contrasted to the lamb of the guilt offering of verse 12. The guilt of loss of days there is now overcome by the victory of fulfilled days here. Instead of guilt, there is peace. The days of separation are accomplished without either his failure to meet them, or the Lord intervening and causing them to fail, such as in a sudden death occurring near him. Thus, the peace offering acknowledges this between the two.
In this, along with the previous verses, we see that five of the ordinary offerings are made by the Nazirite – a burnt offering, a sin offering, a peace offering, a grain offering, and a drink offering. It is almost a festival of offerings acknowledging the accomplishment before the Lord. Unfortunately, it would take an entire sermon, or more, to show how all of these various offerings so marvelously point to the work of Christ, but that is why we went through the book of Leviticus. For any who either missed that, or who have forgotten what was taught there, they are available at the touch of your fingers to the keyboard of your internet-connected device in written, video, and audio formats. Such is the convenience we have provided for you at the Superior Word.
Despite being named second in verse 14, the sin-offering is actually presented first. With the sin atoned for, the burnt-offering is then presented afterward. Both beautifully picture the Person and work of Christ.
After the sin and burnt offerings come the peace offering which is offered with the unleavened bread. Then the priest offers the grain and drink offerings as prescribed. Again, every word of each offering points to Christ in one way and then another. No detail of these offerings is without its fulfillment in Him. To understand what these offerings reveal is to look directly at what Jesus did in one great act of offering Himself for us and to God.
18 Then the Nazirite shall shave his consecrated head at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and shall take the hair from his consecrated head and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offering.
The hair reflected his uniting to the Lord in his separation. Now that this separation has come to its fulfillment, he is to shave it off and then put it not with the sacrifice of peace offering, but under it. Thus, it is not a sacrifice as so many scholars state. What seems to be the idea here is that the hair is returned to God through the fire as rightly belonging to Him.
It is an acknowledgment that the hair is as a picture of life in the Lord. If He wanted to, he could have caused the Nazirite to be defiled at any time by a death near him. Even if unintentional, the Nazirite would have to redo the vow until it was complete. Thus the hair of separation itself is as a crown of reward. It being cast back to the Lord then is comparable to the twenty-four elders in Revelation 4:10 casting their crowns before the throne and saying –
Though the Nazirite completed his time, it was because of the Lord that he could even do so. The reward and glory belong to Him. The offering between the two is Christ, who is our Peace (Romans 5:1).
19 ‘And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, one unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and put them upon the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his consecrated hair,
The peace offering is a meal of the one who makes the offering, and in which a portion is taken out of it for the priest who represents the Lord. Two things are different about this peace offering than that described in Leviticus 7. First, in Leviticus 7:13, leavened bread was offered with the sacrifice of the peace offering. That showed that the Lord accepted the offeror, despite his sin. That is not considered in this offering.
The Nazirite has lived a life separated to God, and he has offered a sin offering for any infraction that may have arisen. There is no need to include leavened bread now. Secondly, in Leviticus 7:34, the breast and the thigh of a peace offering were the Lord’s portion. Here, the boiled shoulder of the ram is added to that. Thus, it signifies that the Lord has accepted a fuller offering from the Nazirite because he more fully gave of himself to the Lord. As an understandable idiom, he put his shoulder into the work.
Though the priests received the Lord’s sacred portion as their own, they were first waved before the Lord. This was accomplished by the priest placing his hands under those of the Nazirite. The idea of the wave offering is that it is first symbolically offered to the Lord. It is waved back and forth, up and down, and side by side. It is then received back by the priest as the Lord’s designated representative. The heave offering is the same. It is raised to the Lord first, just as Christ was raised on the cross. After that, it is received back by the priest. A full explanation of these things is found in Leviticus.
20 (con’t) After that the Nazirite may drink wine.’
With the vow and separation of the Nazirite being complete, his only dilemma now is whether it will be Merlot or Cabernet.
What this means is that the Nazirite was obligated to the offerings which have just been stated. They came as a part of the vow itself and they were mandatory. However, the Nazirite could also add to those offerings with whatever his status and wealth could find sufficiency to give.
21 (con’t) according to the vow which he takes, so he must do according to the law of his separation.”
What this final clause means is that he is under full obligation to the requirements of the Nazirite. His vow was not considered acceptable or complete without the completion of the offerings which were required. This, along with any other vows to God, were expected to be performed. That is why Solomon said this –
For a person to vow such as in the case of a Nazirite (or indeed any such noble vow), he would appear holy and exceptional to the people of Israel. However, if he failed to fulfill the responsibility of the offerings that went with this perceived laudable conduct, he would only be a fool in the eyes of the Lord. This is the law of the Nazirite. In the end, it is a custom and a system which in its core pointed to the more glorious separation of God’s people because of Christ Jesus. Every detail of the rite and custom finds its true fulfillment in Him.
As seen in our text verse, Israel purposely caused their Nazirites to stumble by giving them wine to drink. What is sad about this, is that the vow was then annulled, and any time spent was wasted. When the Nazirite went to offer his offerings, they may have been accepted by the priest, but they were not accepted by the Lord.
That in itself stands as a lesson to us. Though in Christ we are not imputed sin, we still have rewards and losses being stored up in our lives and daily actions. There are times where we are drawn away to sin by others. There are times we fail to act in faith. There are also times that we actively act in disobedience. Our lives will be evaluated, and such things as are not acceptable will be burned up.
We will suffer loss because of it. And so, like the Nazirite, we should endeavor to be guided by the Lord alone, we should endeavor to stay away from external influences which misdirect us from the sure and sound path on which we walk, and we should fix our eyes on Jesus – the Author and Finisher of our faith. In doing this our lives will remain acceptable, we will be free from defilement, and we shall receive the welcome words, “Well done” for the lives we live here in these fallen bodies. Better, greater things lie ahead, and so let us strive to pursue better, greater things now in anticipation of that.
‘Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.’
18 ‘I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.’” Numbers 23:8, 9
Next Week: Numbers 6:22-27 Does the Lord wish the best for His people? Surely there is no need for guessing… (The High Priestly Blessing) (12th Numbers Sermon)
The Lord has you exactly where He wants you. He has a good plan and purpose for you. It may seem at times as if you are lost in a desert, wandering aimlessly. But the Lord is there, carefully leading you to the Land of Promise. So follow Him and trust Him and He will do marvelous things for you and through you.
The Vow of the Nazirite
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying
These are the words He was then relaying
“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them:
‘When either a man or woman, according to this word
Consecrates an offering to take the vow of a Nazirite
To separate himself to the Lord
He shall separate himself from wine and similar drink
He shall drink neither vinegar made from wine
———-nor vinegar made from similar drink too
Neither shall he drink any grape juice
Nor eat fresh grapes or raisins; such things he shall not do
All the days of his separation therein
He shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine
———-from seed to skin
‘All the days of the vow of his separation
No razor shall come upon his head; thus it shall be so
Until the days are fulfilled for which
———-he separated himself to the Lord, he shall be holy
Then he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow
All the days that he separates himself to the Lord
He shall not go near a dead body according to My word
He shall not make himself unclean
Even for his father or his mother, so I have now said
For his brother or his sister, when they die
Because his separation to God is on his head
All the days of his separation he shall be holy to the Lord
Thus shall it be according to My word
‘And if anyone dies very suddenly beside him
And he defiles his consecrated head, as to you I submit
Then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing
On the seventh day he shall shave it
Then on the eighth day he shall bring
Two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest
To the door of the tabernacle of meeting
———-so shall he do this thing
And the priest shall offer one as a sin offering
And the other as a burnt offering, as to you I say
And make atonement for him
———-because he sinned in regard to the corpse
And he shall sanctify his head that same day
He shall consecrate to the Lord the days of his separation
And bring a male lamb in its first year as a trespass offering
But the former days shall be lost
Because his separation was defiled by the occurrence of this thing
‘Now this is the law of the Nazirite:
And so to the people these words you shall be repeating
When the days of his separation are fulfilled
He shall be brought to the door of the tabernacle of meeting
And he shall present his offering to the Lord:
One male lamb in its first year without blemish as a burnt offering
———-so he shall do
One ewe lamb in its first year without blemish as a sin offering
One ram without blemish as a peace offering too
A basket of unleavened bread
Cakes of fine flour mixed with oil also
Unleavened wafers anointed with oil
And their grain offering with their drink offerings; it shall be so
‘Then the priest shall bring them before the Lord
And offer his sin offering and his burnt offering as I have said
And he shall offer the ram as a sacrifice
———-of a peace offering to the Lord
With the basket of unleavened bread
The priest shall also offer its grain offering and its drink offering
Such shall be the required proffering
Then the Nazirite shall shave his consecrated head
At the door of the tabernacle of meeting, so he shall do this thing
And shall take the hair from his consecrated head
And put it on the fire which is under
———-the sacrifice of the peace offering
‘And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram
One unleavened cake from the basket
———-and one unleavened wafer too
And put them upon the hands of the Nazirite
After he has shaved his consecrated hair, so he shall do
And the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before the Lord
They are holy for the priest as I say to you
Together with the breast of the wave offering
And the thigh of the heave offering too
After that the Nazirite may drink wine
He is no longer restricted from the fruit of the vine
“This is the law of the Nazirite among the nation
Who vows to the Lord the offering for his separation
And besides that
Whatever else his hand is able to provide, according to his station
According to the vow which he takes
|So he must do according to the law of his separation
Lord God, we are even now in a wilderness
And we are wanting to be led by You
Without You to direct, our lives would be a mess
And so be our guide, O God; You who are faithful and true
We long for the water in this barren land
May it flow forth from the Rock, our souls to satisfy
Give us this refreshing, spiritual hand
And may we take it, and to our lives daily it apply
And we shall be content and satisfied in You alone
We will follow You as we sing our songs of praise
Hallelujah to You; to us Your path You have shown
Hallelujah we shall sing to you for all of our days
Hallelujah and Amen… | <urn:uuid:2b9b53db-786b-4036-91a7-ac3466b52142> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://superiorword.org/numbers-61-21/ | 2019-07-22T12:13:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.978342 | 8,073 |

We were challenged to create a digital experience that would allow consumers to interact with the latest Crystal Ski brand campaign. The remit was broaden so that the digital experience would sit at the heart of the campaign and various channel activities could then align around it for campaign cohesion.
Using consumer and historical ski research, we created a fun way for consumers to engage with skiwear through the ages. We created a platform that allowed online consumers to upload a photo and create a ski outfit from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s – now that’s what we call fun.

I let him. He took a box with him to fill one of the planters, filled it, and planted the Alaska peas. So now the pot on top of the chicken house is planted.

Last weekend we went to a wedding with the kids - their first together (Mr. P. was a ring bearer when he was 2/5) and I was set on making bow ties for them.
I had purchased this great turquoise and white silk pattern in a sale bundle for a mere $2.00!!
Of course I blew it off until the last possible moment. So the night before I frantically scoured the Internet for some bow tie patterns. I settled on A Lemon Squeezy Home's bow tie tutorial which looked like it was relatively easy and produced puffy bow ties.
Problem was, the clock was ticking and I was getting tired. I still hadn't packed for San Diego (about two and a half hours south of L.A.) So when I got to the part where you take the small 2 1/2" by 4" piece to cinch the bow tie together, I took the easy way out.
Instead, I cut a very long, thin piece of fabric, tied it around the center of the bow tie and began wrapping it again and again and again (to make it look like the knot in the center). I then tucked it under itself in the back and continued along with the tutorial...adding the straps and the Velcro.
Saved me at least 35 minutes of much-needed sleep!!! I would like to try the tutorial the real way someday......(but I'm not sure anyone will invite my kids to a wedding again!) | <urn:uuid:e84e0c6e-69a8-4b7c-80ac-2d0f5a3a465b> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.meremadeblog.com/2011/08/tie-em-up.html | 2019-07-22T11:36:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.971693 | 303 |

Pierrette originates from one of Rouault's most expressive and beloved series. His interest in the world of the circus found its greatest outlet in his art during the 1920s and 1930s, later prompting Ambroise Vollard to commission etchings and woodcuts for the book Cirque de l'étoile filante, published in 1938. These depictions were based on his own childhood memories of the circus, as he remembered them, "Acrobats and horsewomen, sparkling or passive clowns, tightrope walkers and freaks, and my friends, color and harmony, since my earliest childhood I have been in love with you" (quoted in Bernard Dorival & Isabelle Rouault, Rouault, l'oeuvre peint, Monte Carlo, 1988, vol I, p. 153). Rouault combats the potential frivolity of the subject with a Cloisonnist style in which the figures and objects are delineated with black outlines. Evoking the imagery of stained glass imbues the subject with a profound and spiritual depth. Unlike other artists who employed Cloisonnist techniques, however, Rouault employs expressionistic brushstrokes that deconstruct forms and bring his subject to the edge of abstraction.
Rouault was particularly drawn to the clowns and their expressive potential as subjects for portraiture. These nomadic entertainers represented freedom and naiveté, and were for Rouault a release from his focus on the darker images of life. His series of clown portraits is marked by an emotional immediacy that is unique both within his oeuvre and the spectrum of modern art. Lionello Venturi writes, "When he paints clowns, however, the grotesque becomes amiable, even lovable... colors grow rich and resplendent, almost as if the artist, laying aside his crusader's arms for a moment, were relaxing in the light of the sun and letting it flood into his work" (Lionello Venturi, Rouault, Lausanne, 1959, pp. 21 & 51). | <urn:uuid:28847f31-827e-40e5-92de-ac0fccb5ed07> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2015/impressionist-modern-art-evening-sale-n09340/lot.15.html | 2019-07-22T13:02:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.965174 | 421 |
Review Of Roulette Party Roulette, Mobile Game
Gaming software: Party Casino
Party Mobile casino offers European Roulette that is played using a wheel containing 37 numbered slots
(1-36, plus single 0), a ball, and a layout upon
which the player may place a bet or multiple bets covering a single number or groups of numbers
(sectors). The ball is spun around the
wheel and will come to rest in one of the numbered slots on the wheel, indicating the winning number.
The minimum bet in Party's roulette is $1 and the maximum is $500 (table limit).
The player wins by correctly guessing which number(s) or group(s) of numbers will win, and is paid in
accordance with the Paytable given below, based on how
many chips they have covering all or part of the winning
number. There are two types of bets and the payouts are as follows:
|Straight up bet
||A bet placed directly on any single number.
||A bet placed between any 2 adjacent numbers by
placing the chip on the line between the 2 numbers.
||A bet placed at the end of any row of numbers,
covering 3 numbers. Bets placed on '0, 1, 2',
'0, 2, 3' are also considered to be street bets.
|Corner bet or square bet or quarter bet
||A bet placed on the corner where any 4
numbers meet. Covers all 4 numbers. A bet placed
on '0, 1, 2, 3' is also considered to be a corner
||A bet placed at the end of 2
streets, on the line between them. A line bet covers
all the numbers in either street, for a total of 6.
||A bet placed in one of the boxes marked '1st
12', '2nd 12' or '3rd 12', which each cover 12
||A bet placed in one of the boxes marked '2 to 1' at the bottom of the layout, each covering 12
numbers per column.
|Adjacent dozen bet
||A bet placed on the line between any two adjacent boxes marked '1st 12', '2nd 12', or '3rd
12', covering 12 numbers of each.
|Adjacent column bet
||A bet placed on the line between any 2 columns marked '2 to 1' at the bottom of the layout,
covering 12 numbers of each.
|Red/black, even/odd, 1-18/19-36
||A bet placed in one of the four boxes at the sides of the layout covers half of the numbers on
the board, as described in that box. The '0' is not covered by any of theses boxes. Each box covers 18
|Red/black, even/odd, 1-18/19-36,
and the ball falls in the '0' slot.
||A bet placed in one of the 4 boxes at the sides of the layout covers half of the
numbers on the board, as described in that box. The '0' is not covered by any of theses boxes. Each box
covers 18 numbers.
||Half the bet is returned.

Anxious people consider themselves prophets.
They excel at imagining worst case scenarios and creating litanies of ‘what if’ questions. The thought life of the anxious person is like a dryer with a broken heat setting—the clothes tumble around and around in endless rotation but never change their state.
I know this because I have been this person and I continue to fight against fearful thoughts. But God has helped me and is helping me. He has shown me life-changing truths in His Word that provide a way of escape from cyclical anxious thinking and offer the peace I so desperately need. And because His Word is for everyone, He can help you too.
The Lord Is not with Me
Anxious people who believe in God and trust Jesus for their salvation often affirm the truth that God is near to his children and that he is in control of the universe. But their thoughts are often at odds with the truth their lips profess.
Someone who excels in imagining worst-case scenarios and can create 10 fearful “what if” questions on demand is someone who functionally believes that God stands far-off and does not tangibly involve himself in the details of his or her life. And life without God’s aid is a fearful thing.
Anxiety has teeth because even our craziest fears are realistic enough that we know they could happen. Our homes really could burn to the ground. We really could get hit by a car or die in a plane crash. We could lose our jobs. Our children really could be abducted at the playground or never trust in Jesus and be saved. Our spouses/parents/best friends really could get cancer. We could get cancer. These things really do happen and those of us plagued by anxiety struggle to get past these possibilities.
Although many of these scenarios are somewhat far-fetched, anxiety still tumbles around in our minds and leaves us distracted, on edge, binge eating, over-exercising, hyper-vigilant, panicky, or unable to sleep. We get expensive home monitoring systems, we avoid busy roads, we save (hoard) money, we don’t let our children play outside, or we obsessively monitor our health.
We exert control in an effort to allay our fears and to say to ourselves that nothing bad will happen because we won’t let it. We play God. And we’re not convinced that he’s near and we suspect he might not help us.
But in our efforts to make sure that nothing bad ever happens to us or to those we love, we grow weary, our fears multiply, and we find ourselves consumed by anxious thoughts day and night. We aren’t in control and we know it. No amount of our energy and effort can guarantee that bad things won’t happen. We were never created to bear the load of all the possible sufferings we may face in this life, but to lean on the one who can.
The Lord Is at Hand
As I have struggled with anxiety, I have been struck by God’s Word and how it acknowledges the fearfulness of life. Adam and Eve’s child was murdered. Job suffered unimaginable loss and excruciating physical disease. Abraham and Sarah longed for offspring and lived for decades in the pain of infertility.
The Israelites were chased, surrounded, and conquered by enemy nations. David had spears hurled at him by his employer and king. Jeremiah was thrown into a well. John the Baptist was beheaded. Early Christians were stoned to death. Jesus was crucified. The Bible tells us a story of great suffering, pain, loss, heartache, deferred hopes, tragedy, and betrayal.
Thankfully, these sufferings don’t have the final word.
Scripture makes it clear that while we will face fearful things in life, we are not alone. Psalm 46:1-2 beautifully captures this truth: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling.”
In these verses, the Psalmist describes the terrifying chaos of an earthquake and testifies of God’s presence and sufficient protection in the midst of it. Despite the crumbling of mountains before his eyes, the Psalmist says that God is his refuge and help and, in that reality, he is at peace.
It is essential for the anxious person to cling to the truth of God’s presence, affirmed throughout the entirety of the Bible. Philippians 4:5b-6a declares this truth: “the Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything….”
The reality of the Lord’s presence ought to comfort us. But his presence isn’t just a comforting pat on the back—his presence is peace-giving because he is in control, a truth that Psalm 46 also declares: “The nations rage, the kingdom totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts” (Psalm 46:6); “He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire” (Psalm 46:9).
In the midst of chaos on earth, the Psalmist boldly declares God’s superior strength—the God who spoke the world into being can also by his word destroy any nation, any army, whether they are armed with spears and chariots or chemical weapons and nuclear warheads. God is in control.
Because we live in a world that this God created and continues to control, the Psalmist in Psalm 46 goes on to tell us that we are safe and therefore can be at peace: “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress” (vv. 10-11).
God’s presence and power are our fortress, our safe place, and are sufficient reasons for us to be at peace, despite the fearful things we have experienced, or plausibly could experience in the future. God is present in our chaos and God is in control even when our circumstances seem otherwise.
The Bible doesn’t say that we won’t face scary situations or suffer pain and loss, but it does promise that God is with us and that nothing will come to pass that he doesn’t control in his perfect love and perfect wisdom. If he allows any of our worst-case scenarios to realize, he promises to be our fortress and to give us his strength, his comfort, his peace. He will never leave or forsake his children—not in this life, and not in eternity future.
Trust in the Lord
So, anxious saint, when you feel the billows of fear rising up and you are tempted to put your thoughts on tumble dry, stop and remind yourself that there is no place you will ever go where God is not present or in control: “Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there you hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me (Psalm 139:7-10).
If God is with us and in control, we can trust him to help us every day of our lives: in infertility, in being fired, in chemotherapy, in watching a rebellious child move away, in lost investments, and in any other fear-inducing circumstance.
We are held secure by the maker of the universe in all circumstances. He is trustworthy with our lives and the lives of all those we love. He sent his son to be our ark in the rain and in the flood, protecting and preserving us through all of life and through the coming wrath of God’s judgment. We will be kept today and every day on this earth until the Lord chooses for us to draw our final breath. And then we will be kept for all eternity.

Three historic hurricanes. Wildfires in the West. Increased frequency nuisance flooding and heavy rainfall. As extreme weather continues to dominate the headlines, in 2017 what can city leaders do to protect their communities?
Last week, NLC and the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) co-hosted a Congressional Briefing entitled “How Can Cities Become More Resilient to Extreme Weather?” Arriving on the heels of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma — and with wildfires raging in the American West — the panel featured Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto and Nicole Woodman, Sustainability Manager for the City of Flagstaff, Arizona, sharing how their cities invest in resilience for their residents.
To begin, Mayor Peduto recounted his city’s industrial legacy and how environmental and economic resilience lies at the core of its revitalization efforts. The heart of Pittsburgh’s OnePGH resilience strategy, he said, is to make sure that all residents and neighborhoods can thrive and share the same opportunities for prosperity.
That commitment to equity helps ensure that residents are able to respond and recover from any challenge, continued Mayor Peduto. The OnePGH strategy will help the city address stresses like an aging population and economic and racial inequality, as well as certain potential shocks to the community such as an infrastructure collapse or climate change and extreme weather.
“We’re talking about resiliency, and we’re looking at it through a lens of man-made failures, environmental failures, economic failures,” said Peduto. “We’re a model of a city that’s been able to bounce back from all three. The one thing we didn’t do in any of those cases was prepare. We never built into the strategy of today the, ‘what about tomorrow.’”
In 2010, Flagstaff, Arizona suffered a series of natural disasters — including a major wildfire, blizzard, floods, tornados and more — spurring a community-wide resilience effort. That initiative, said Woodman, led the city to adopt a holistic systems approach to assessing climate risks and addressing vulnerabilities within the city’s operations, infrastructure and economy.
“2010 was a year of extremes — but the silver lining was that we had a living laboratory,” said Woodman. “We set off to answer a number of questions: how can a city organization reduce its vulnerability and build organizational resilience to climate variability and climate-related issues, and more importantly, what are the risks if we don’t act?”
“We learned that we can no longer ignore the interdependence of our systems.” The city identified water quality, water resources and water infrastructure, along with forest health, as the most vulnerable areas with the highest risk. The Flagstaff Watershed Protection Project is just one example of how the city, along with local partners and regional agencies, is addressing the inter-related risks of devastating wildfire and post-fire flooding.
NLC’s Cooper Martin, Program Director of the Sustainable Cities Institute, gave a national perspective of several other communities addressing resilience through the NLC Leadership in Community Resilience program. For instance, said Martin, the City of Annapolis, Maryland, is focusing on a historic preservation effort to adapt the city’s scenic downtown to increased flooding and sea level rise. Similarly, the City of San Antonio, TX, is focusing on climate impacts such as extreme heat, flash flooding and air quality.
To address these issues and help local leaders make their communities more resilient, NLC recommends that the federal government help build preparedness by reauthorizing the National Flood Insurance Program; provide incentives to cities and property owners to encourage mitigation and retrofitting of existing structures; provide continued emergency disaster assistance; and ensure that recovery and rebuilding efforts consider future climate risks and vulnerabilities.
As local leaders who are on the front lines of the effects of climate change and who serve as first responders in a natural disaster, cities will continue to take action, but they need a partner in the federal government.
Since President Trump announced in June the U.S.’s intention to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, cities from across the country have expressed their commitments to climate action — from passing council resolutions like in Jackson, WY, Oberlin, OH and Milwaukee to signing onto NLC’s Climate Letter. Those cities joined a grand total of over 2,300 cities, governors, businesses, investors, colleges and universities from across the U.S., or with significant operations in the U.S., to declare their intent to continue to ensure the U.S. remains a global leader in reducing carbon emissions. | <urn:uuid:aa04cd91-c4ea-4b35-a200-e0d4f253b569> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://citiesspeak.org/2017/09/22/how-can-cities-become-more-disaster-resilient/ | 2019-07-22T11:53:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.942354 | 961 |
GEWO is a real estate company founded 100 years ago. The task was to develop a concept for a print campaign and as well as for an extraordinary event for the 100th anniversary. It had to be completely different from usual seen anniversary campaigns. In this case the cliché just to show happy families and buildings in brochures etc. were taboo.
“Do you remember the old times?” This approach ran like a thread through the campaign. Familiar everyday objects from the individual decades raised positive memories. No matter whether light switches, television, phones, toys…the well known items of every decade drew the curiosity of the viewers. Typical wallpaper pattern as background visualized ten decades.
The design concept developed for the campaign continued in other promotional activities later on. It was used for ads, the website, for posters, fairs and outdoor advertising. The campaign attracted great attention and shined due to the eye-catching design. Customers and suppliers were excited wallowing in positive memories of past times.

There are many issues with trust in today’s society and around environmental concerns, this is no different. How do we know the true impact of products we are buying when they are often assembled from ingredients or parts from all over the world? How do we know that donations actually finds its way to projects on the ground that are making a difference? Blockchain is the technology that hopes to provide that trust and is being heralded by some as the biggest potential technological disruptor since the internet.
So this is all very exciting but I still find this new technology hard to get my head around, and can it really provide the answer to all of our problems? I’m approaching this with a slightly skeptical mind, not least because I lost some money after I finally gave in and bought some bitcoins the day before it crashed…..but anyway, I thought about interviewing a company that is utilising the technology already but as I am still not that clued up I decided to head to an academic to get both sides of the story, the potential pros but also any cons.
In this interview, I speak to Pete Howson a Lecturer in International Development and Nottingham Trent University who has published papers on this very subject. So hopefully after this interview, you will have a better idea what blockchain is and I can decide whether I should just sell my bitcoin…….

Today I’m taking a look at blockchain. Could the technology behind Bitcoin help us solve some big environmental problems? Or is it just another passing fad?
There are many issues with trust in today’s society, and around environmental concerns, that’s no different. How do we know the true impact of products that we’re buying? When they’re often assembled from ingredients or parts from all over the world? How do we know that donations we make the call conservation actually find their way to projects on the ground? Well, blockchain is the new technology that helps to provide that trust. And it’s being heralded by some as the biggest potential technological disruptor since the internet.
So this is all really exciting, but I still find this new technology quite hard to get my head around and can it really provide the answer to all our problems. Now approaching this with a slightly skeptical mind, not least because I lost some money after I finally gave in and bought Bitcoin about a day before it crashed.
Anyway, I thought interviewing a company that is utilizing the technology already, when it’s such a new technology, and I’m not fully clued up on it may not be the best route to go down. So I decided to head to an academic instead to try and get both sides of the story, the potential pros and the potential cons. In this interview I speak to Pete Howson, a lecturer in international development at Nottingham Trent University, and he’s published papers on this very subject. So I’m hoping that after this interview, I have a much better understanding of what blockchain is. And I can finally decide whether I should sell that Bitcoin or hang on to it.
So my first question and the question I always get asked when I bring up blockchain is can you explain in layman’s terms, what blockchain is exactly. I mean, I’m sure most people have probably come across it from Bitcoin. That’s where I first came across. The concept.
Pete Howson 2:22
Yeah, I mean, when people start, when people hear the word blockchain first the eyes start rolling. And people have this reaction like, Oh, it’s just hype.
But I think that comes from a place of misunderstanding. I think it’s, as you say, most people understand blockchain as the technology behind the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. And Bitcoin is different to the paper money in your pocket, or the pounds in your bank account, because the ledger, the books that everyone looks at, they’re not kept by a private bank, on their computers, it’s decentralized.
And this sounds boring. But this is a big deal, because the most corrupt thing about fiat currency like pounds in your bank account, is that the private banks create new money out of thin air when they make loans. So when I borrow five grand from HSBC, or whoever, they don’t go to the vaults and take five grand out, that money is created out of thin air, and I have to pay it back with interest. And this is what’s called the fractional reserve banking system.
With Bitcoin, new coins and made when what we call miners and agree to keep a copy of the Bitcoin ledger. So the books everyone looks at, on their servers in exchange for Bitcoin. So a Bitcoin is created every 10 minutes. And that’s because the ledger is updated every 10 minutes. And it’s given to the miner who solved a complicated math puzzle called a hash.
So this process of sharing the record of who owns what is called, it was referred to as the distributed Ledger’s. And the distributed ledger is just like a really slow, cumbersome, shared Google Docs, spreadsheet, everything created like that. So it’s not very efficient at all. But the ledger is super secure. So it can’t be hacked. Theoretically. It’s immutable. So any amendment is kept forever. Well, for as long as there’s a functioning Internet,
And it’s so secure, some mathematicians have said that it would be more likely for someone to be able to turn a cooked chicken nugget back into a living chicken them for them to be able to corrupt the Bitcoin blockchain.
So the word blockchain is often used interchangeably with this distributed ledger technology. But distributed ledger technologies are just one use for blockchain. So the theorem blockchain, for example, can facilitate what we call smart contracts. I said this, this contract is a piece of self executing code, which basically states similar to this, if x happens, then execute y. Like an IF function you get on a Excel spreadsheet, and again, this sounds quite boring, but it’s actually actually quite profound. So the blockchain distributes the Ethereum token, which called ether to instigate these commands this effectively and why and contract commands. When you think about it, it’s no wonder the technology is receiving so much hype. So think we could get rid of estate agents, lawyers, doing expensive conveyancing services, banks, of course, we could get rid of record company bosses. Any industry that provides a service as an intermediary between two contracting parties could be replaced with this technology.
Rob Wreglesworth 6:27
So it’s all about trust, really, those people are mainly they’re at the moment because we don’t trust the system. We need someone to oversee the process and provide that level of trust. Is that is that
Pete Howson 6:37
Yeah, that’s exactly right. And this is what I’m interested in. So what I’m interested in how is is what happens when you bring in these these other technologies, like distributed autonomous organizations, and machine learning AI, and Internet of Things like your Fitbit on your wrist and everything like that. And then you combine that with blockchain technology, and then the possibilities are endless.
Rob Wreglesworth 7:09
It all sounds very exciting. I keep hearing that it’s going to be the biggest thing seems to have taken a bit of a, I mean, maybe not for people that are working on it day to day, but from the public, it seems to have taken a bit of a step back in terms of the excitement, everyone got very excited for a while I’ve still heard people talking about it as being the next internet, the next big technological advance, it’s going to change the way we interact on a day to day basis. It’s all very exciting. But how do you see it coming into play when we talk about environmental conservation applications? And it’s something you’ve been working on? Is it? Is it fairly new that idea of of using this was it something that you wanted the first people to work on? Or is it been an idea that’s been explored for a while? And what sort of problems could it possibly solve? They’re, they’re out there.
Pete Howson 8:01
When we think about, you know, what problems is these blockchain developers trying to fix? I mean, by even saying that you’re sort of insinuating that blockchain developers know what the problem is. And, and I think this really is the issue that you have blockchain developers that are very good at coding. They’re very creative. They got some really good ideas, but they are unfamiliar with the science behind global environmental change, as well as the social and political dimensions to those issues as well. So yeah, I’m interested in specifically how blockchain technology is being leveraged in order to affect deforestation and for restoration practices. So I’m specifically interested in carbon offsetting projects like REDD+, which stands for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and the plus stands for these co benefits, like improving biodiversity and community development and all of this sort of thing. So essentially, it’s a mechanism which is backed by the United Nations to try and make forests more valuable standing, then cut down. So the idea is, is that you have an intact forest. So let’s say I’m giving your listeners and advice on how they can become carbon cowboys here.
And so basically, first of all, you have to find a patch of forest, the forest has to be in the global south, because it has to be in a country that doesn’t have any obligations to meet any climate change mitigation programs like Kyoto / Paris Agreement, I find a patch of forest lets say in Indonesia, however, the forest has to be under threat of being cut down for something like palm oil, or mining or something like that. So I have to write a document, which basically outlines a narrative and a rationale behind my intervention. So in this document, I say, if I hadn’t intervened, then this palm oil developer would come in and cut all the trees down, then I give that document to a third party intermediary. So highly paid consultant from the global north flies into Indonesia checks, everything’s legit. And then they will give me and avoided a missions allowance of tokens. And which will verify the fact that I have prevented a certain number of carbon, tons of carbon from entering the atmosphere from the trees being cut down.
And I can then sell those tokens they’ve credits because one credit equals saved carbon, as long as I agreed to protect that price for 35 years. And I can sell those credits, take the money and run. Or I could use the money and plant new trees. And then I receive a payment for the additionality. So this is the increased number of tons of carbon that now exist in this force. The problem is, is that I haven’t dealt with the underlying driver of deforestation. So yeah, I may have stopped this particular patch of forest from being cut down. But all I probably have done is move the threat of deforestation down the road. So they’ll cut the trees down down the road. So there is no net decrease in the amount of carbon that’s being emitted into the atmosphere, only within the context of the project site that I’ve been financing.
So this is the problem. This is what we called leakage. And it’s something that REDD+ has never been able to really deal with. What blockchain does, is that it enables these new forms of verification to come in, which mean that potentially the REDD+ carbon tokens are more verifiable, they reflect a reality, which can be checked. And so it’s being used by existing carbon offsetting projects already. And these, they’re using carbon credits, and they’re combining them with cryptographic tokens.
An example in Indonesia is Rimba Riya reserve, which was one of the first REDD+ projects, which are now using a platform ‘Verde’ which is the native token, it’s been put together by a company called Veridian Labs. So they’re part of the same parent company as infinite Earth. Their idea is that you get this Verde pay credit card, and you go around being you’re doing your normal consumption patterns, buying shoes and petrol for your car or anything..
Pete Howson 13:16
And when you make that purchase, Verde will buy the equivalent number of carbon tokens from their forest to offset the embodied carbon emissions from your purchases. So all this is nothing new, then really just expanded offsetting project only using crypto currencies today. There’s other ones which are a bit more fancy. So there’s another there’s a project in Zimbabwe. And that’s been put together by Earth token. And what they’re doing is they’re offering local community members incentive payments in the form of cryptocurrencies, when they plant trees. So this is like, you know, crazy when we were thinking about sort of indigenous people living in, you know, the jungle, we don’t think people will crypto wallets on their smartphones. But this is essentially what the effect of the technologies have been. And, rightly or wrongly, obviously, that has that has implications in terms of sort of politics and within these societies. So some projects are using blockchain based smart contracts to remediate already degraded forests. Whereas these other REDD+ projects were all about keeping standing for us intact, but you could also use blockchain fixes to plant new trees, and facilitate that.
They’re using lots of these IoT devices, Internet of Things, devices, similar to your Fitbit, or whatever, but they putting sensors in the water. And they’re saying to local communities, you know, so if the water quality improves, straightaway you get this incentive payment in the form of a cryptocurrency, they use satellites, and LIDAR and all these other remote sensing devices to check the change in the carbon content of a forest. So if it improves, then again, straightaway, you get this incentive payment, which is paid to the community that lives in the area. So it enables this direct payment of incentives go to go directly to price communities, and that wasn’t the same for REDD+. Take, for example, Indonesia, it has hundreds of REDD+ projects, and they receive money from the global carbon market. But none of that money, not a single payment has ever made it to local communities. And they’re the ones that take on all the risk. Yeah, they do all the work, that blockchain could mess all that up and actually enable local can be is to,
Rob Wreglesworth 16:01
I think the thing that always confuses me the most is when you start to bring in all the different coin types and coin names. I still find it hard to come to terms with when you’ve got all these different types of coins, like carbon coin and, and different coins. how they relate
Pete Howson 16:17
The bit that I used to struggle with, is not necessarily the range of different tokens because we have that already, don’t we I mean, we’ve got hundreds of different currencies that we will trade and, and then if you start thinking about some of these crypto currencies, or assets, they’re not even currencies, so you have to think about all the different sort of commodities that we have in trade.
Rob Wreglesworth 16:40
I remember one of the things that when Bitcoin first came out that people were saying could be great about it was the fact that it was just one, we could potentially have one currency that we trade, but you’re saying it’s not that simple. We can’t just have one coin that’s used for everything, we still gonna have to have different types of currency for different things is going to be more could be a case of it’s a currency for for an application rather than a currency for a country.
Pete Howson 17:03
Yeah, and I mean, it gets even more complicated. You know, when you think these things don’t just apply in certain localities they tie in within certain time frames as well. So take ‘ox-chain’, for example, which is a project which is being developed by Oxfam, and they’re looking to see if a blockchain token can be used as an alternative to aid payments, which are used during sort of disaster situation. So for example, they’re faced with this problem, where if there’s a hurricane somewhere, or you know, a tsunami, and in the, in the Pacific, in some remote island, somehow they have to get us dollars, or some sort of currency over to these people. So they can have like a functioning economy so they can just continue with their lives in this disasters tonight. Yeah, I mean, what they’re trying to do is to just say, Well, you’ve got the phone as long as we can get the internet going. And we can just straight away send, I don’t know, ox coin or something like that. It’s not what they’re going to call it… And they send this off token and as soon as they decide that the disaster event is finished, they can switch off the whole economy. So then you go back to your default currency of whatever they were using before this disaster event. So yeah, I mean, it’s really a different way of thinking about how we you can’t really compare it to, to feel it in that respect.
Rob Wreglesworth 18:43
Do you think with the technology of blockchain, if that can mean getting money from consumers in the global north into the right hands into the hands of local people who are in those countries that will stop the drivers for things deforestation? Or, do you think it’s more complicated than that?
Pete Howson 19:02
Yeah. So I mean, this is the thing with REDD+, and the way that it frames, local people as the problem, and like, a technology can come in and just make REDD+ work.
I mean, the issue is, is that we we’ve got, we don’t understand the problem. And because the problem is not local people cutting trees down. It’s you and I, and now our first cheap toothpaste and soap and glossy magazines. That’s the problem. And I think what REDD+ does is that it points the finger at people in Indonesia for cutting their own forests down, when obviously, you know that behaviour is takes place in the context of global capitalism. So I mean, that’s, that’s the nature of the problem. And I think, for me the potential in blockchain to really sort of reconfigure global capitalism, it’s the fact that it doesn’t have to just mirror what we already do with fiat currency, and then think that that’s going to make much difference.
That’s why people struggle to get their heads around it. Because like you said, it’s not that it’s not the same as fiat currency that we’ve got now. But everyone’s grown up with this economic model of capitalism as we’ve got it now. So it’s pretty hard to understand any other model. And that’s why I think people are still striving for market based approaches. And the way that things are exchanged, even in the natural world is still defaults back to the current economic model that we’re also familiar with.
I think the issue is, well, we’ve already sort of touched on this already that we have, like these blockchain developers, they have good intentions. And they’re trying to put these these sort of clever system together, I’ll give you an example. So there’s a group called Terror Zero, which is a really creative project. What Terror Zero have done is that their project, it takes advantage of the fact that some countries have put their land registry’s on the blockchain, because it’s incorruptible. And because the blockchain is just digital technology, it has no understanding of whether an entry on the ledger is a human being a company, or even the forest itself. So what they do is they buy a bit of land, and then enter the purchases name on the land registry as the forest itself, so the forest owns itself, then it uses some clever, smart contract self-executing code to say that to actually issue licenses to timber companies, so they can come in and cut down a certain amount of trees, give the money to the forest to the forest can then buy new land, so it can grow. And it can regenerate itself. The idea being that over time, this virus will get bigger and bigger and own itself and have rights on human terms. So it’s all very clever. And they’ve also got this project called flower tokens, which is another like very creative project, that they’ve got all these little potted freesias a they put them in a case with a camera or a call system. So the camera takes all these measurements of each and every plant.
And then as the plants grow, the value of the associated crypto token grows in value. And so it puts that incentive on the owner as the token to look after the associated plants is when the plant dies, and so does any value associated with the coin. So it makes sense for you to constantly keep watering the plant, make sure it grows, and it’s healthy, because that’s how you maintain or increase the value of your money. Yeah. And so that I mean, this is this is really, really creative. And you think, imagine if we scale this up, and our entire economy could be associated with the health of the biosphere? And because they’re talking about putting these cameras on individual trees in forest, we could scale this up.
Rob Wreglesworth 23:50
So does that get around the problem of the value would be in would only be for that thing, it would only be for the value that the forest provides Because at the moment, you’ve got the competing interests coming to you with one currency, you’ve got all this the value of the land, what it’s worth that development, what it’s worth for palm oil plantation. If that came in that coin would only be worth something if that tree was kept intact as a tree.
Pete Howson 24:12
Yeah, I mean, totally. It’s all of them. But I mean, that’s capitalism, isn’t it? I mean, right now, natural resources are only valuable in terms of the amount of profit they can make for the people who own those resources. But I mean, I mean, blockchain fixes don’t overcome that, though. It doesn’t help us to think about forest, for example, as having a kind of inherent value in terms of a spiritual basis, this is something that blockchain can’t overcome, because it perpetuates this sort of market based form of environmental management.
Rob Wreglesworth 24:52
Things are happening so quickly in terms of things like deforestation etc, if we wait until the economic models changes completely, then it might be too late. So is there still a place for the sort of market based approaches as a kind of stop gap? Or do you worry that it’s just going to continue to cause more problems going forward?
Pete Howson 25:15
So market based methods of environmental management have never worked? So there isn’t, I don’t think that there is a place for them. There’s no point as engaging with them.
Rob Wreglesworth 25:30
So even from a, you know, from like a framing point of view, it’s had a lot of negative press, but even from a practical point of view, you don’t think it has any place,
Pete Howson 25:40
Especially from a practical point of view, it has no place.
So I mean, if you think about, how we’ve progressed in the last 30 years with having environmental assets and market based mechanisms being the cornerstone mechanism in the way that we, as in humanity, engage with is the threat of climate change, we haven’t seen any progress in terms of reducing emissions by putting a price on carbon or anything similar.
Rob Wreglesworth 26:08
Offsetting has been around for quite a long time now, in some form or another in the in the Western world.
Pete Howson 26:14
Just to give you a sort of timeline, so 1987, and we had the Montreal Protocol. So this came about because there was a hole in the ozone layer, which was developing because of humans emitting CFC into the atmosphere. We obviously understood that this was an existential threat for humanity, and we’d have to take immediate action to fix it. So the global international community got together. And we did a command and control form of governance, which put limits on each signatory of this protocol. And there was a pot of money put aside, so for poor countries that couldn’t for to do this and they would be have this source of funding, which would help them to through the transition, and it worked, it was a massive success, and had we not have done that, then we would all be covered in tumors, and it would be a very horrible world that we live in right now.
And that was only 1987, that we kind of got together and fix it. So after Montreal, then the US suddenly realized that acid rain was an issue, and this is a problem in Europe as well. The issue is sulphur dioxide emissions that came from coal fired power plants in the US, they opted for this market based mechanism called the acid rain program, where they put a price on the amount of sulphur dioxide which could be emitted by coal fired power stations, and each state was given a cap, how much they were allowed to admit, if they wanted to emit more than this cap, they would have to purchase licenses from other states. And slowly the sulphur dioxide emissions came down. And this was just to be a massive success.
This was their years ago in 1989. Then everyone realized that okay, we fix ozone, we fix CFC to fixed sulphur dioxide and acid rain. We still haven’t fix carbon dioxide. This was the real threat, you know, that people knew was coming or you know, was happening. But if suddenly 25 years ago became something that we knew we had to deal with. In the US there was this resolution in the Senate, they’re called the Byrd–Hagel resolution. They made it pretty much illegal for the US to make any take any action on climate change, that would negatively affect the US economy, which was a problem, because when we were trying to do what we did in Montreal, but for climate change for stopping carbon emissions, and we could only do a market based fix, because of this Byrd–Hagel resolution that was affecting what the US could, could do. So when Clinton and Al Gore went to try and prevent this Montreal Protocol style way of doing things where laws were just put in place to stop countries producers from making a mess. And instead it became this market based fix. And it hasn’t, it hasn’t worked. I mean, atmospheric CO2 concentrations today have not been as high since in the last 55 million years. So I mean, you know, these carbon markets, they may provide this little disingenuous accounting mechanism. We can hide certain amounts of carbon emissions. But I mean, when you look at the net amount of CO2 being emitted, it’s never been as high as it is today, not in 25 years. So it’s not working. And obviously, my research is still in progress as to whether blockchains can make any difference to this. And we’ll see.
Rob Wreglesworth 30:22
On one hand the thinking is it that the only way that you’re going to get people to listen to people with money to listen to the to the seriously and start valuing ecological and environmental assets, how they should be valued, but then part of me thinks we are just creating more a problem in terms of putting a price on everything? It’s a tricky one. But we’ll hopefully see if some of the issues in terms of trust anyway, can be resolved with technologies, new technologies coming through, like blockchain. So we’ll see. See what happens. But I am definitely torn one myself.
Pete Howson 31:02
The best way to store carbon is to plant trees and the best way to prevent climate change in the first place is to keep fossil fuels in the ground. But then neither of those two options are good for the economy. Because they involve spending money, these aren’t Win Win outcomes, unless you know, when we say a win is for people to have a spiritual connection with the natural world. But I mean, you know, you can’t profit from that.
Rob Wreglesworth 31:26
It’s hard enough to get people in the developed world to care about these issues, to care about the environment deeply enough to not think about it from a monetary point of view. So in the developing world where people are struggling day to day to even get by or to feed their families, then it’s a much harder one to tackle, I guess.
Do you think this technology with cryptocurrency and blockchain that that will at least mean that whether you agree with the market based approach to tackling these problems, at least the money from carbon offsetting of other offsetting programs will get into the right hands of the people that are doing the work people that need it, rather than say, like a criminal gang or something like that, where it might be ending up now,
Pete Howson 32:11
I mean, there’s a couple of reasons why I’m a bit dubious. And if I’ll give you an example that have come from outside the arena of Forestry.
So there’s a blockchain app developer in the US, called repo coin. Repo coin, it takes advantage of the fact that, in in the United States, it’s the situation around cars, like hire-purchase agreements.
So in the UK, if you don’t make a payment on your car, the finance company, the people who lent you the car, have to go to court and get a do a county court judgment against you. And then a bailiff can come around and force you to give him the keys and then they take the car away. That’s how they do things, it was done through the courts. In the US, the system is different. So you never own the car and finance company keeps a copy of your car keys. So if you don’t make the payments on your car, they can just come and drive your car away. But the issue is they don’t know where your car is because it’s not legal for them to put a tracker on the car and come and take it on track your movements. So they rely on this blockchain app called repo coin. And so what they ask anyone really, I mean, literally anyone with a smartphone, just download this program, this app, they go into poor neighbourhoods, and they take photos of the number plate and have posh cars and fancy cars. And they think, They think, how could anyone afford this in this neighborhood, then if it turns out that this person has failed to make payments on the car, the self executing smart contract thing tells the tow truck where the car is parked, and then it sends out the tow truck makes a payment to the tow truck driver, it makes a payment to the person who took the photo. And then the car is taken back to the dealership and they can then sell it someone else.
But obviously this this fix is really is riddled with injustice. Because Yeah, just lots of rich people going into poor, mainly black neighborhoods in America. And taking advantage of the fact that there’s poverty and inequality. And you know, this is sort of this could quite easily be the case, in terms of token economies in poor countries in Indonesia, where let’s say if this technology has been used to report people who cut down trees or or, or that’s sort of thing. Yeah, it has big social political implications, I think we really need to understand with any market based mechanism that maintains global capitalism, it’s based on this sort of win-win. You hear this all the time, it’s, you know, it’s a win-win, it’s a win for the environment, or win business.
Rob Wreglesworth 35:18
We are going to have to start accepting that some of us are going to have to lose
Pete Howson 35:23
There will be always be winners and always be losers, I think we just have to accept that. And I think we just have to be vigilant about who those losers are. And if there’s always going to be poor people that are marginalized, and people, you know, getting, having their grave starts done, because they did what they had to do. And in order to survive, and that is, you know, cutting rhino horns off and stuff like that. And that’s fail to see that actually, the the driver of all of this is the market for these things in, in other countries in rich in the global north, then we’re never going to transcend the underlying condition.
Rob Wreglesworth 36:04
Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. And I think we’re going to have to, it’s got to be some hard if we’re going to actually make progress in terms of things like climate change and, and aspects of deforestation and things like that. It’s going to be people in developed countries asking themselves some hard questions of, can they afford to pay more for products do they need to buy as many products as they are doing? And then I mean, that’s, that’s what I’ve heard a lot of people. blockchain will allow consumers to have more of an idea of the impact of their individual purchases, you know, when you go out and buy something that like a bar of soap, like you said, or shampoo, then it’s, it’s going to be traceable. And all the different elements of that product are going to be a lot easier to trace. And maybe that will have an impact on what we how we view, things that we’re buying, even though you want people to do things the right reason, if they know what the impact is of their purchases on a day to day basis, then maybe they’ll cut back on things they don’t necessarily need,
Pete Howson 37:08
Potentially, potentially, or there’s this potential that if we know, and we can verify that carbon is being offset in another part of the world, and, you know, to offset our own consumption practices in in our own communities. And then we’re almost deferring responsibility to someone else. And it I think what it does is it creates this sense of naive in a way we’re just naive to the effects of our concern or disassociation
Rob Wreglesworth 37:46
Yeah, absolutely disassociate, far away thing that we can just pay to, to get rid off of our conscience.
Pete Howson 37:54
the fact that a lot of these blockchain fixes is that I’m they’re automated systems as well. So I mean, really, you’re not deferring this, this sense of responsibility to any human being, it’s just this sort of self executing code, which automatically kind of creates changes in other parts of the biosphere to account for your behaviour. And I think that, you know, that that kind of severance between us and our actions, I think, you know, that’s going to have profound impacts. As it is, yeah,
Rob Wreglesworth 38:33
yeah. Sounds it sounds like it could be dangerous. We’re already two separated from the impacts, if we’re going to separate ourselves even more by putting AI in charge, who knows what kind of world will end up with, it sounds like used in the right way, there could be positives, but it’s like with anything, if we don’t tackle the, the true causes of the problems, then it’s just going to be deferring the issue and, and putting elsewhere.
I didn’t realize that you we’re so involved with the internet of things technology as well. And that’s quite interesting. If you got any particular, you mentioned a couple of examples, but are there any other particular examples of where that’s being applied for environmental causes.
Pete Howson 39:13
One of the projects that I’ve been looking at is project which has been put together by a UK based tech company called bio carbon engineering. And, and then they are developing these drone re-seeding machines.
They have these efficient drones, that can stay up in the air for a long time. Now, and the idea is, is that you give some initial, kind of contextual information to the drone, the drone maps, an area of land, which has been degraded, using machine learning, AI will decide the best place to put trees. And then you can just leave it. So this drone, it’s semi autonomous right now, but the plan is that it will be fully autonomous, it can make decisions on the fly, and learn the best ways to regenerate landscapes using this sort of self executing code and artificial intelligence to do it, so, for me, this is like, profound, I mean, you could just put the drones in a place come back months later, and then you’ve got this sort of forest, which is going away, which is all based around autonomous tech, obviously, that, you know, massive implications for this, as I, as you mentioned earlier, I mean, this kind of deferring responsibility to technology and, and instead of us actually having to do the work of putting trees in the ground, you just have just different two machines.
I don’t think we should throw the baby out with the bathwater, though. You know, there are plenty of people in Indonesia, which would gladly take the money to plant trees, we should perhaps give money to them. But again, I mean, we’ve got this issue about trust, and how do we ensure that actually, these trees are being planted? How can we verify that and this technology does it potentially, and you can still do it in a way that means that local people benefit rewards and compensation payments, these sorts of things. I mean, it’s, you know, it’s early days. So I mean, that’s why more research needs to be done to look at the sort of social political implications.
Rob Wreglesworth 41:44
Like with any new technology, there’s really positive potential, but also, we’ve got to be aware of all the potential negative aspects and we can carry on business as usual, try looking out for these win wins all the time, when actually, we still need to, we can’t just not ask ourselves the hard questions and figure it out with another technological solution that’s going to have to be, as we always seem to try and do is as humans.
Pete Howson 42:10
Yeah, I mean, I just think we need to highlight the fact that there is this massive contradiction about using crypto currencies as a fix for climate change. If you think that sort of 24% of emissions come from land use change in forestry in Indonesia alone. Where I do my research 840,000 hectares of forest every year, that’s half the size of Wales every year, a massive amount. However, at the same time, thinking about this sort of carbon footprint of the forestry industry to keep Bitcoin going, requires 55 terawatt hours per year. That is similar to Greece or Israel.
Pete Howson 43:32
Some researchers have suggested that operating Bitcoin for the next few decades would take us over this to degree, two degrees of warming that would inevitably cause bring about this sort of climate change tipping point that we hear towards run away will mean that’s just using Bitcoin alone.
And so I mean, these two things are massive contradiction for me. We’re trying to solve the issues of embodied carbon emissions from forestry by using something which has a massive carbon footprint.
However, I think this is very simplistic. And the and whenever I give a talk on this, you’ll have someone bring up this fact that, you know, Bitcoin has a massive carbon footprint. But blockchain doesn’t have to be so energy intensive. And obviously, that any new technology improves and it gets more efficient.
And this technology isn’t going to stop. You know, humans are just as dumb today as we’ve worked five years ago, but technology gets better. And we need to get used to the fact that this technology is sticking around, it’s not going anywhere. So I mean, we can roll our eyes.
And I think if you look at Bitcoin, that was invented, as this form of technology that was meant to undermine the global banking big wigs, but right now, the technology is being co-opted, I think, by the very people that Bitcoin was meant to undermine.
And I think if if blockchains can be put to use to radically change society, which would, I think, be the first step in actually overcoming the problems of climate change. Now, I think we need to be really vigilant and consider sort of in whose interests are these changes being made. And I think we shouldn’t just presume that any radical disruptive technology like blockchain is the stabilizing things in everyone’s best interest in
Rob Wreglesworth 46:19
Yeah, just one last question. I always ask guests just a bit of fun at the end. If you could put one message on a billboard that would go up all around the country, or just talk about the UK for now, but for one day that everyone could see with one motivational message on it, preferably related to the environment, but doesn’t have to be what would it be?
Pete Howson 46:41
Well, I think just relating it to sort of technological advancement, I think as well, I think it would say something like,
“the reason no one lives on Mars is because it shit. That average temperatures there minus 50 degrees is violent, inhospitable wasteland, on the other hand Earth, is nice. And we should stay here. And we should keep it nice.”

A fellow attorney wrote in with a question about using short film clips…
Hi, I am Gordon Firemark and this is asked and answered, where I take your entertainment law questions so you can take your career and business in entertainment to the next level. Stick Around for my answer.
OK, here's what this fellow lawyer asked:
I am in the legal field, a Barrister in England and Wales, and I am now living in the USA.
I wanted to create a series on English Law on YouTube and use clips from different movies for some of my examples. The clips would not be more than 15 to 30 seconds most. I will also intend not to use the heart of a film. I may use 7-10 different clips from 7-10 different movies or videos, small 15-30 second portions. In total I wish to say it would not be the majority of the work. This would be strictly for education and non-commercial purposes. I would only use the video as I would transform the video with legal examples. I am also using my own sound.
OK, so here what I told this fellow.
First… the “best practice” is to obtain licenses.
Sure, it’s possible that such short clips would be found to be fair use, and therefore non-infringing, I think there’s a reasonably high degree of risk that someone will object, and file DMCA Takedown notices, (at least), and possibly sue you. And lawsuits are never any fun… They're just colossally expensive.
That said, there has been recent ruling in Lenz v. Universal that tells us copyright owners are required to consider fair use before issuing DMCA notices… But who knows whether that will survive further appeal… And that's in progress right now as I record this in November of 2015.
So, let's quickly recap the four fair use factors.
In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered are:
- the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
- the nature of the copyrighted work;
- the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
- the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.
But even if you’re in Fair Use Territory, though, remember… if you get too many takedown requests, your Video hosting provider (YouTube or whatever) will shut down your account, and it’s very difficult to get reinstated. It can be a real black mark.
So… my usual advice is license the footage. Such short clips probably won’t cost much. You might even get ‘gratis’ permissions, if you ask nicely and explain what you're working on..
Now I did a video a while back in which I explain how Fair Use works… And it's at

By Jamie Traner
The evening opened in the lobby of the Plaza Theatre on Ponce de Leon Ave, with the scents of El Ponce wafting through the door upon entry. Atlanta Film Society’s ¡CineMás! kicked off with Cuban Food Stories the week prior, but we’re here for the movie with all the awards buzz: director Alfonso Cuarón’s newest masterpiece, Roma. After thoroughly enjoying a tamale or two, we headed inside.
If you aren’t moved by the subtle romance with life that comes from warm afternoons and appreciations of familial relationships, Cuarón’s newest work might not be for you. However, if you do find a sort of calm in reflection of a period passed, then Roma will not disappoint.
The two-hour-and-some journey begins on a shot of tile. Slow, with the sounds of running water and sloshing in the back. It is a warm welcome to the 1970’s Mexico City landscape of the lifestyle protagonist, Cleo (played by Yaritza Aparicio) leads.
The slow roll over the tiles is gently whisked into the next shot of two girls in aprons and Cleo’s life begins to fully unfold. The tale follows this young maid Cleo, her fellow maid, and the family for which she cares: a mother, four children, and a father often gone for his various concerns. Cleo spends her time fulfilling homely duties, cleaning, cooking, playing with the children, with a spare few hours to spend with her boyfriend. Despite her job title, it is clear the family sees Cleo as one of their own, and when times get tough, and they need one another most, their support knows no bounds. Through hardships of pregnancy, and turmoils of indiscretions, with celebrations of life, and every up and down in between, Roma leaves audiences with as much heartbreak and joy as you feel with your closest friend.
It’s difficult to summarize this film without gushing in the ornate details Cuarón chisels into Roma. Even beyond the development in relationships and each character as not just a piece in a larger puzzle, but as an individual of their own value, Cuarón’s fundamental elements must not be overlooked. The textures are tangible, doing a service to the audience not quite deserved. The sounds take you to 1970’s Mexico with the faintest of brushing wind carrying a warmth through the theater, the heavy movements of automobiles long since retired, and so much more. The visuals enrapture you from the start and don’t let go until the final long take as the credits roll you out.
Each frame behaves as its own laudable art, worthy of the finest galleries this world has to offer. The stills command your attention, still breath and silenced phones, as long takes, long shots, medium shots, and every designed angle take the screen. The details express the time and location, but go further to define the characters you see. Down to how the children each eat, how the mother smiles in different moods, the clothes, the decor, the car, Cuarón masters it all.
After leaving the theater, my only satisfaction in life will lie within the ability to have each frame printed for wallpaper.
Alfonso Cuarón has given this holiday season the gift it didn’t know it needed. While Roma releases on Netflix Friday December 14th, it is currently in a limited theatrical run. Available in Atlanta at Landmark Midtown Arts Cinema. | <urn:uuid:f730ac92-2017-4775-b78e-7ef79cd6c1ce> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://georgiaentertainmentnews.com/2018/12/roma-review/ | 2019-07-22T12:41:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.944638 | 750 |
How can we safely reduce toxic byproducts of steel and iron production?
In China, the waste from iron and steel production, known as slag, accumulates in landfills and open stockpiles, where the toxic elements it contains can cause environmental and health problems. Columbia engineering researchers have created a process that turns steel and iron waste into reusable materials while reducing overall carbon emissions.
China manufactures half of the world’s iron and steel. Ah-Hyung (Alissa) Park, director of the Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy and Xiaozhou (Sean) Zhou ‘15GSAS designed a slag processing unit for China’s Baotou Iron and Steel (Group) Co. The researchers hope to reach zero-waste by safely processing Baotou Steel’s slag. A new processing method, based on carbon sequestration technology, holds promise for reducing the amount of land used to stockpile slag, cleaning up landfills, converting waste into useful products for other industries.
“The techniques we’ve developed have the potential to make iron and steel manufacturing substantially more sustainable—not only in China, but globally,” said Park.
The project leaders have formed a spinoff startup, GreenOre CleanTech LLC, through Columbia Technology Ventures, and are working on designing the first commercial pilot plant in Mongolia, which will be 500 times the size of the prototype in the Columbia Engineering lab.

In the midst of giving a talk at MunichJS on August 3rd, I collapsed in public and at work, since we were hosting the meetup. At one point I turned blue from lack of oxygen. Many people would want to forget, but not me. I started writing this for myself and in story form to piece together what happened. I also wanted to sort the thoughts in my chaotic mind to learn from my mistakes.
Along the way, I discovered some life-changing lessons. They’re probably not original. But they’re new to me and therefore worth sharing.
This piece isn’t about working less and getting more sleep, which is obvious. This is a story about people, both myself and the people I work with. It’s about that work and re-examining what I do, with whom, and why - a complex story I’ve split into three parts:
Photo by Christopher Campbell on Unsplash
A Fateful Evening
The day before I actually joked to colleagues about collapsing. It was the homestretch. Event logistics were done. The code demo was finished enough. I distinctly remember joking: “After the talk, I’ll fall over.” “We’ll catch you” was the response with a smile. That exchange seems fateful now.
I started the day at headquarters just outside of Munich. I worked on my slides through morning meetings. I skipped lunch with my team to head immediately downtown to another office, the Agile Training Center (ATC) to make sure everything was ready, including catering, poster deliveries, equipment check and furniture setup. Then I hid in the event room away from the offices upstairs to work on my talk.
I was relying on my body to give me a signal I was pushing too hard. I expected warnings but there weren't any. So I continued to push.
Before standing on the stage, I worked 2 weeks straight and was sleep deprived, averaging closer to 5 hours a night when really my body needs 7-8. I have gone through worse stretches of sleep deprivation and stress, especially when I was self-employed. As usual I was relying on my body to give me a signal I was pushing too hard. I expected warnings but there weren’t any. So I continued to push.
The great thing about working at a large corporation in the midst of an IT transformation? Boredom is impossible. There's so much to do and all of it is new.
I don’t remember collapsing. I only remember getting through the first third of my talk, introducing myself and some storytelling about how a designer ends up in automation and testing. I don’t even remember starting the Jenkins automation server demo. I don’t really remember leaving in an ambulance. I drifted in and out of sleep in a hospital emergency room until around after 11pm. At some point, I look in my backpack and realize my macbook pro is missing. I immediately text two colleagues, who are also friends and the last two faces and voices I vaguely remember. One has my computer. The other is standing outside but isn’t allowed in due to privacy and visitation rules. The doctor asks if they should let her in. YES! They let her in and immediately she takes charge asking all the right questions, getting all the paperwork, incl. notice to excuse me from work. My groggy self is so thankful.
“What do they think of me now?”
Then it hits me. Oh God, I fucked up. Mine was the first talk, which means I probably ruined the MunichJS meetup for ca. 100 people. There were some really important people from work present, who I invited to show the corporate world what the real world startup culture we were trying to emulate actually feels like. Fuck. And my boss was there. What does he think?
“Julie, he’s outside.” she told me. And then both the gravity of what happened and overwhelming gratitude hit me.
That evening and over the next week, I learned a lot about myself and my presumptions about people, especially in the context of work. Oh, how very little I understood about other people and group dynamics until then.
Who do you work for?
If you ask someone who they work for, they will probably answer with the name of a company, which in my case is a corporation with 29,000 employees and 2 billion EUR in profit - the polar opposite of self-employment and consulting for startups.
If someone tried to sell me on joining a corporation for the people and colleagues, I would have laughed…
Who do you work with?
One colleague probably saved my life, administering first aid and freeing my airways so I could breathe again. Others waited hours at the hospital for me. Others stayed behind to wrap up the event and all loose ends so I had absolutely nothing to do when I returned. One sent me beautiful flowers, explicitly American ones!
There was just lots of concern from those who were present or knew what happened. And it was genuine concern for me, not what happened. My family and closest friends are in Boston and Berlin. So they couldn’t be there for me. But my colleagues stepped up… and I’ve only been an (internal) employee for 3 months.
I was the only idiot who thought about what it looks like for a company if an employee collapses in part from overworking. Because you see, that was my fault. I chose to push through sleep deprivation although I knew that it could trigger a seizure, a slim but real danger which I hadn’t told my colleagues about. That’s why I still feel terribly guilty at the stress I put them through.
A week later, I met with a colleague from HR, which financially supported the event. I told her I was sorry, that I probably created the opposite effect on the company’s reputation. She said no, not necessarily. The talks were cancelled. But people were allowed to stay, hang out, and have beer and food. Some developers then told her they were impressed by the concern my colleagues had for me and how they reacted quickly and as a real team. I felt relieved because that’s how I saw my colleagues now too.
And then she revealed an even greater insight.

Update on 16 August based on some feedback
- Yes, I am fine now. I was able to go home that same evening. I just needed to sleep. Thank you for asking :)
- No one asked me to work two weeks straight. By day I did my normal job. By night I built a miniature version of our stack for the MunichJS Demo and implemented some concepts that I would carry over into work - which was fun, but not sustainable. More details on this in part 3 to come. | <urn:uuid:b820a8d0-5f02-486d-a53e-c73d11e6eac4> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://julie.io/writing/givers/part-1-collapsing-in-the-homestretch/ | 2019-07-22T13:03:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.980887 | 1,432 |
Jennie Melamed’s Gather The Daughters does of course inevitably remind the reader of Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. This was such an extraordinary and shocking book at the time of its publication. Atwood had put no completely invented ideology into it; she sewed together trends, happenings and events from across history and geography. Atwood casts a long shadow, but Melamed, a psychiatric nurse practitioner who specialises in working with traumatised children, has clearly had her own professional experiences which have gestated this book.
Unfortunately, various world events – such as the kidnapping of young Chibok schoolgirls by Boko Haram and the democratic election of Trump, despite his ‘locker room’ boast of entitlement to grab and grope, not to mention the regular exposés of historic child abuse cases – sadly indicate that the need for writers to shock and warn us against any complacent thinking that the war for female equality and control over one’s own body has been won, is still a pressing one.
Melamed’s book is set in a possibly not far distant future, though it harks back to earlier, simpler times
Some cataclysmic apocalyptic world event has happened. Possibly. A small group of influential men have established a patriarchal, small island colony. Here, life is made secure and possibly viable, at least if you are one of the influential men. These rulers, The Wanderers, do maintain certain links with the Badlands, where some kind of plague, some kind of terrible devastation lurks. Occasionally, a new family will arrive on the island.
Harking back to some kind of particularly warped Amish style community, there are strict controls in place. These are mainly directed against women. Marriage happens remarkably early, within a year of the onset of menstruation. Life is also short, and once physical fitness is past early shuffling off of mortal coil is expected. There are also strictures on the number of children allowed. The powerful have devised ways to manage this, mainly through the indoctrination of a should and should not Holy Book, devised, as they so often are, for the powerful to keep others without power
Thou shalt not allow thy wife to stray in thought, deed or body. Thou shalt not allow women who are not sister, daughter or mother to gather without a man to guide them. Thou shalt not kill.
There is a brief, idyllic period set aside for the children. With rigid rules in place from birth till death, for all, and especially for the female all, a short summer season where children are allowed to run feral, live outside, and do as they please is a small time of wild paradise. Everyone knows the dark rules and the dark penalties for infringing those rules outside the brief summer escape. There is no other freedom of expression – except that resistance also, always needs to find ways and means.
Melamed tells this religious cult, island story through the voices of some of the girls. Janey is the oldest, the most dangerously subversive, starving herself in order to delay the onset of menstruation, marriage, motherhood. Amanda was her closest friend, but Amanda is now married and pregnant, her time of brief freedom and escape forever gone. Vanessa is daughter to one of the wanderers, the ruling elite; Caitlin the daughter of a particularly brutal man, not one of the especially privileged, though every man is privileged enough, in this society.
She discovers that grief is a liquid. It passes thickly down her throat as she drinks water and pools soggily around her food. It flows through her veins, dark and heavy, and fills the cavities of her bones until they weigh so much she can barely lift her head….At night, it rises up from the floor silently until she feels it seep into the bedclothes, lick at her heels and elbows and throat, thrust upward like a rising tide that will drown her in sorrow
Melamed recounts her quite horrific story with much delicacy and finesse. It is a spell binding story, a malevolent one, a warning one – and, unfortunately given the seeping violence of the times, wreaked by those who seek to turn back, in various ways, the freedoms women won during the twentieth century, a story one must hope is not, in any way, prophetic
I received this as a review copy from Amazon Vine.

Reddit’s endless stream of memes, comments, and self-referential jokes can be intimidating to newcomers. Even if you’ve been reading the site for years there’s still plenty of new subreddits to discover. But no matter how well you know Reddit, you could be having an even better experience by installing a few extra Chrome extensions.
Here’s a guide to some of the best extensions around to help you get even more out of Reddit.
A Better Overall Experience
Reddit Enhancement Suite is the way to go if you’re looking for just one extension that does a bunch of things. It offers a handful of useful upgrades and tweaks to smooth out some of Reddit’s rough edges, including a built-in image viewer, keyboard shortcuts, easy account switching, and the ability to track other users. It even reveals the hidden upvote and downvote totals on posts.
A Minimalist Redesign
Reddit isn’t exactly easy on the eyes. For some people, that’s part of the site’s charm, but if you don’t agree you might want to try out Readr for Reddit. This Chrome extension gives Reddit a sleek minimalist. When you want to read a specific comment Just click “read” to remove all the clutter around it for a distraction-free experience.
Clean Up the Comments
Here’s another Chrome extension designed to clear away some of Reddit’s overwhelming design. Comment Collapser does exactly what its name promises, adding color-coded lines that let you easily hide a comment and all its replies so you can scroll through longer threads faster.
If you’ve ever stumbled upon an interested Reddit thread and wished you could save it for later then this is the Chrome extension for you. RemindMeBot lets you bookmark a post on Reddit and get an alert at any future date you want. That’s particularly useful if you see a thread discussing something you’re interested in (like old horror movies or taco trucks in your neighborhood) and want to check back later to see what suggestions come up.
The Reddit Scam Labeler does exactly what you’d expect. It finds scammers who use the website based on this regularly updated list and labels any posts from them as scams. If you spend a lot of time in subreddits where people sell and trade video games, electronics, or discount codes then this extension is a must-have.
Open All the Tabs
Sometimes you don’t want to scroll through Reddit, you just want to open every single link at the same time. Enter the Reddit Tab Opener, which launches all the links on a single subreddit page with a single click. Even better, the original description from Reddit will carry over to each new tab so you actually know what you’re looking at.
Jump Between Subreddits Like a Pro
Last but not least, this Chrome extension makes it easy to quickly move from one subreddit to another. Once you install Reddit Hyper Jump, all you need to do is enter “Alt + r” to launch a navigation bar near the bottom of the screen. Then just type out the subreddit’s name and you’ll be there in seconds. | <urn:uuid:673ffa09-520a-45a9-9ce1-bf85e02f3d23> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://lifehacker.com/improve-your-reddit-experience-with-these-chrome-extens-1823450604 | 2019-07-22T12:03:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.910242 | 670 |
It seems Rita Ora’s relationship with Calvin Harris is just a little bit too sore to talk about at the moment.
During a recent interview Rita was questioned about her split with Calvin by a reporter from The Associated Press and she just simply smiled and walked away.
The interview seemed very very awkward and it’s clear that Rita is not ready to talk about her relationship yet.
A british girl called Claire Leeson, has spent £18,00 on having surgary and plenty of other thing to look like Kim Kardashian.
Claire was bullied over the her looks when she was a teenager and looked up to Kimmy and how beautiful she is and saw her as a role model.
One of Claires school friends asked her if she had been watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians and after that she decided to give i a watch and completely became gripped to the family.
Talking during a interview Leeson said:
“When I get my Kimmy on I feel like I’m unstoppable and untouchable and I feel like no one can stop me and I can make something of myself. I feel strong… and I feel that I have built enough confidence to love myself a little bit more.”
Claire has had:
Boob job: £5,000
Teeth whitening: £2,500
Hair extensions: £4,500
Spray tans: £1,000
Bum padding: £350
Shoes and clothes: £3,150
Trouble is then at the end of the interview she admitted that she is in £6,000 debt and has bailiffs after her!
She really needs to pay her debt’s before she ‘gets her Kimmy on’.
Over the years Chris Brown has been in so much legal drama it’s unbelievable but now we may be able to watch it all on TV.
Chris has been in talks with several production companies who have said that it will be a very interesting program.
It was on Tuesday of last week that the talk of a reality show was brought up and the production team said it would be good to see Chris clear up his act!
If Chris does get his own show he will follow in the footsteps of Lindsay Lohan.
We don’t think this would be the best best of ideas but who knows it could be a massive hit.
Most celeb never admit their bad habits but clearly not Little Mix’s Perry Edwards.
The singer has admitted that she farts in front of her fiancé Zayn Malik which has cause a lot of drama over the last couple of days.
“I [fart in front of him] because I’m engaged, but if I wasn’t engaged, I’d be kind of f—ked. I bite and chew my nails in front of him too.”
We bet Zayn is over the moon that she is telling the world this.
As you may know a few months back Selena Gomez deleted all of her followers on Instagram and since then she has been sharing a lot of quotes.
But now the singer has shared a video of her declaring her love for someone in a new video but who was it about??
Last week Justin Bieber shared a photo of him and Selena together starting rumours that they are back together.
So is the person she’s talking about on Instagram Justin??
In the video you can hear Gomez whispering:
“I will always love you. Whatever words I say…”
What do you think is it about Justin??

When I arrived home I was surprised to find the doc gone. I smirked. He never did tell me his real name. Whether he went out to run an errand or headed home was anyone’s guess, but at least for now I had the house to myself. I threw my keys on the counter and ran upstairs. For some reason I was in the mood to check on all of my business dealings. I needed to get on the computer before the mood left. I looked everything over, my net worth continued to grow at a nice pace.
I finished up and took Killer out onto the deck with me for some sunshine.
I sat on the deck relaxing, when my phone buzzed. I checked the caller ID, Max. I deliberated on answering, by the time I’d made up my mind he’d hung up.
Oh well, maybe next time.
I held onto my phone, realizing that I actually kept it fully charged and with me at all times now. Frowning, I lit a smoke and turned it off. That was one habit I didn’t want to start.
For The next two weeks my life was routine. Wake up, stretch, meditate, work out, ride Lightning, and check on Pumpkin and the kittens.
The vet managed to get through the snow couple times to make sure Pumpkin and her litter were fine. He always laughed at us; said they were healthy, and asked if we’d stop calling him at every small sneeze. What he didn’t understand was if something happened to kitties, Rose would kill us.
Doc never returned, Max didn’t call me back, or if he had, he never left a message. The days were getting slightly warmer and it hadn’t snowed since before I meet with Bear and Tree for lunch. I spent the extra time cleaning my house, which took me two days because I conquered my desk. With my life back in order I didn’t have much left to do.
I found myself checking my phone for messages every day and twiddling my thumbs. I hadn’t seen much of Chase. He’d decided that, since I was doing great, he’d get caught up on work. He drifted back and forth from Rose’s to Max’s, inviting me to join him several times. I declined. I was ready for my vacation to be over.
I needed to decide where my next destination would be, and I needed to figure out if I’d be able to go back to work now that my sensing ability had been compromised.
On a very long, extremely boring day, I decided to let the universe pick my next destination for me. I bought a dartboard off the Internet, and a map of the world.
While I waited for my goodies, I wondered again when Rose would be back. She’d been trying hard to convince her kids she needed to come home, to no avail. I didn’t want to leave without her here to keep an eye on everything. Chase was too busy to do it, and ended up gone for days at a time, taking care of Max’s house and whatever else he took care of.
What did he do for Max? I sighed.
“We have to get out of here, Killer,” I mumbled as I pet him. “You look as bored as I am.”
My map and dartboard arrived in the mail almost a week later. I quickly tore open the box and ran to my office upstairs. I hung the dart board on the wall and pinned the map to it. Grabbing the darts, I took a few steps back and threw one, then another, and another, until I didn’t have any left. I examined the dartboard reviewing the places I’d hit, and cringed. I didn’t want to travel to any of those places.
I needed warm, beach, and sun. I stepped back and threw the darts again, not hitting one appealing place. Maybe I wouldn’t leave it up to the universe. I did this for the next few hours by throwing all of the darts at once, one at a time, two at a time, and three at a time. Still nowhere I wanted to go.
The next morning I grabbed the darts and chucked them at the dartboard. Without looking I went downstairs for coffee then hit the shower. I’d just gotten dressed and turned on my phone, when it rang. I picked it up, walking to the dartboard while answering.
“Hey Rose, how are you?”
“I’ll be better in two days,” she whispered.
“Does that mean you’re coming back?”
“Yes and I can’t wait. Finally! Bear’s going to pick me up at the airport. What are your plans?”
I grinned. “It looks like I’m going to have to leave for a while. I’m happy you’ll be back to take care of things.”
“I thought Chase was doing that.”
“He is, but since Max left he’s been working double time. How did you do it Rose?”
“Oh, I’ve been a bitter old lady this last month, bitched about everything, and have driven my kids to almost moving out of their own house.”
Laughter rang in her voice.
“They decided they would send me back to drive you crazy for a while.”
“It sounds like they finally came to their senses,” I said with a chuckle.
“Yes they did. I would ask you where you’re going but you’re never in one place for very long so it probably doesn’t matter. I can’t keep up anyway. How’s Pumpkin?”
“Becoming a bitter old lady. She can barely move around. The kittens are constantly hungry. But don’t worry we’ve had the vet out a few times. It’s a waiting game now, and you’re the perfect person to take care of her. I’ll make sure she knows you are coming home to save her from her little mongrels.”
Rose giggled with excitement, “I can’t wait to see her. And I can’t wait to meet the new babies.”
“You’d better be careful Rose. Bear might start feeling left out.”
“Oh, I can’t wait to see Bear, either.” Silence.
“What’s up Rose? Is there a problem between you two?”
“No, no, but I might as well tell you now since I won’t be seeing you.”
I waited a beat.
“Bear’s asked me to work with him full time, and I said yes. That won’t be a problem will it?”
I laughed as I pulled the darts out of the board. I was actually expecting her to say they were getting married.
“It’s not a problem. Will you still be able to take care of my garden or should I hire someone?”
“No, don’t hire anyone. I love working in that room.”
“Good, I miss you Rose.”
“I miss you too. Call me when you get to wherever, or better yet I’ll call you when I get home.”
“Talk to you later, Rose.”
“And it’s about time,” she said before hanging up.
I spent the rest of the day packing and making double sure I had everything in order. I gave Lightning a kiss goodbye, and checked on Pumpkin a couple of times. I searched around for Chase, but couldn’t find him anywhere, so I headed back to my house to write him a note.
I had to leave unexpectedly. You’re more than welcome to stay in the cabin anytime you need. Rose will be back in a couple of days. Take care. | <urn:uuid:00f17f40-04e5-4ef1-94d9-d5a4ddb7d23c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://lynnthompsonbooks.com/2014/08/21/blake-a-montana-dayton-novel-ch-25/ | 2019-07-22T13:12:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.979083 | 1,771 |
Everything happens for a reason. Why people do what they do, why all of a sudden we want to wear pink, why less is more. Society changes and with that peoples needs and desires.
Trend forecasting is observing, researching, explaining and predicting how these things change. Our society is getting more user centered and that is why companies should know what their target group wants and which developments are going on in society.
These needs, desires and on going events in society can be translated to fashion directions such as the concept of a collection, colours, shapes, materials. Which can be used as guidelines for designers and brands.
When collections have been designed and buying season is starting trends can help choose themes and be materialized into products.

Growing organic watermelon is rewarding, but only if you know what you’re doing. Watermelon is not hard to grow, but is takes more knowledge than corn or peas. In this article we’ll reveal how to deter beetles, powdery mildew, aphids, and more (everybody loves watermelon and so do a lot of pests!). And we’ll give you some great hints that’ll show you when your melon is sweet and ready to pluck from the vine.
When to Plant
A long growing season (at least 3 months of warm weather) is needed to mature and develop sweet watermelons. In short summer areas, a warm indoor start can count towards the long-season requirements. If you live in the North, starting your watermelon seeds indoors 2-4 weeks before your last frost date will allow you to take advantage of any warm, sunny days outdoors and still be able to bring them in at night or on cooler days. Planting too early will cause the plants to develop tendrils or more than four leaves which may cause your plants to have difficulty setting roots once they are transplanted to the garden. In the warmer southern climates, watermelons can be direct-seeded in the garden once soil temperatures have reached a steady 75-80F.
Where to Plant
The key to growing a successful watermelon crop is to provide as many sunny, warm days as possible for the growing plants and protect them from cold temperatures. The more exposure warmth the vines receive, the more fruit your plants will produce in the summer.
Watermelons require full sun and plenty of heat. Give your watermelons the sunniest spot available with good air circulation. This will help the plants dry out quickly after a rain to prevent diseases.
Preparing the Soil
Watermelons prefer well-drained, sandy loam soils with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.5. Soils with a pH less than 6.0 will produce plants with yellowed foliage and fewer perfect flowers. Good drainage is critical for preventing disease in your melon plants. If your soil doesn’t drain water well, mix a generous amount of organic matter into the soil before planting. We recommend mounding your soil into hills. Raised hills improve drainage and helps keep the soil temperatures up. If you water with soaker hoses, mounding up a row (rather than hills) will make watering easier.
Mix in a shovel full of well-aged manure where you plan each hill. This is especially important if a spring crop has already been planted in this area and taken nutrients from the soil. Mound your manure amended soil into hills about 12″ tall and 2′-3′ wide. Space each hill 4′-6′ apart, depending on how much space your variety needs. Adding 2-3″ of aged manure or compost before planting your melons will give the plants a nutrient boost and improve your soil’s structure.
As much as I’m not a fan of plastic, it’s almost a necessity when trying to grow watermelons in a shorter growing season. This is something you will need to decide for yourself. Watermelons build up sugar and develop sweetness in their final days of growth so providing the necessary warmth is critical for a growing a good watermelon crop.
Covering your planting area with plastic a couple weeks before transplanting will warm the soil more quickly. Depending on the weather, this can allow you to transplant your seedlings outdoors up to 7 to 10 days earlier than without the use of plastic.
If plastic is left throughout the growing season, it will reduce ground rot in your fruit (fruits rotting from sitting on soil). Clear plastic mulch will heat the soil up 4-5 degrees warmer but black plastic will prevent weed growth.
Ventilation holes must be made in your plastic mulch to allow oxygen into the soil. If your plastic doesn’t have pre-made ventilation holes and it is still on the roll, you can use a 3/4″ drill and drill your own holes through the layers at an 8″x8″ spacing.
Choosing the Right Seeds
When choosing a watermelon variety, consider how much space the plant requires to spread out. If you have a limited growing area, choose a bush type that is more compact. Some heirloom or more vigorous varieties can take up 100 square feet per plant and only produce 2-3 fruits.
Seeds and Germination
Watermelon seeds germinate optimally between 70 and 90 degrees F. At these temperatures, seeds will germinate within 5-10 days. At temperatures below 60F, germination will not occur.
Getting Started Indoors
Watermelons don’t survive frost or maintain proper growth at temperatures below 60F. In areas with short summers, seeds must be started inside and later transplanted outdoors; be extremely careful not to disturb the roots. Watermelon plants do not thrive well if their roots are disturbed, even when young seedlings.
Plant your seeds in loose potting soil (not seed germinating mix as it contains no nutrients for the developing seedling).
Plant 2 seeds 1/2″ deep per 4″ individual pot (I plant 2 seeds in case one seed does not germinate, and as the seeds get older I might add 1 or 2 more just to be sure I get one good plant). Watermelon seeds remain usable for 5 years after your initial purchase.
Keep planted seeds in a warm, sunny area (such as a south-facing window) where soil temperatures maintain between 70F-95F. Use bottom heat if necessary to maintain around 75F soil temperature. Once your seedlings are 2″ tall, thin each pot to the one strongest plant by cutting the other seedlings off at soil level.
Transplanting to Outdoors
Starting your seeds indoors can extend your melon growing season 2 to 4 weeks but melons are particularly sensitive to transplanting. If the roots are disturbed, your plants growth will be stunted.
Vines may not set fruit if they’re chilled when seedlings so be sure the soil temperatures remain steady at all times and the garden soil has warmed to 70-80F before transplanting outside. Planting in cooler soil will also increase the chance of soil-borne root diseases developing.
To prevent disturbing the roots, 4″ use peat pots or other bio-degradable planting pots instead of plastic seedling pots. Peat pots will decompose quickly and allow you to plant the pot directly in the garden bed when you transplant the seedlings.
Carefully tear or cut out the bottom of the peat pot before planting in the ground to allow the roots to spread more quickly. Be very careful not to cut the roots. If the roots are too dense (root bound) at the bottom, don’t cut the bottom out as you may damage the roots.
Transplants should have 2-3 mature leaves and a well-developed root system when they are moved into the garden. Planting seedlings that have developed 4 or more leaves may have difficulty setting roots once transplanted to the garden.
If you covered your soil with plastic to help bring up the soil temperature, you can remove the plastic before planting or leave the plastic down to continue locking in the heat. Cut slits in the plastic every 4 to 6 feet and plant seedlings through the slits.
If you choose to leave the plastic down, be sure to anchor it well. Plastic that is not anchored well can blow off during a windy day, breaking your plants in the process. If growing watermelon in rows, space seedlings 18 to 24 inches apart within the row. Space rows 5 to 6 feet apart. In shorter season areas, only plant one plant per hill so it will not compete for nutrients with other vines. In warmer climates, 2-3 plants can be planted per hill.
To protect your young plants from wind damage, which can retard growth and reduce the amount of fruit the vine will set, place hot caps, plastic tunnels, or a row cover over the plants the first 2-3 weeks until the plants have a chance to better establish themselves.
The use of one of these coverings will also protect your plants from cooler air temperatures and early insect pests. Remove the covering within 2-3 weeks to avoid high temperature plant injury and to allow bees and other pollinators easy access to the flowers.
Direct planting (planting seeds directly into garden bed)
Follow the above instructions for preparing your soil and forming hills. Once your hills are formed and amended with well-aged manure or compost, plant the seeds 1/2″ – 1″ deep, sowing six seeds per hill.
When your watermelon plants have reached 2″ tall, thin seedlings to 2-3 plants per hill by leaving the healthiest and most vigorous seedlings and cutting the remaining plants off at soil level.
If planting in rows, plant 2 to 3 seeds together ( a couple inches apart from each other) every 18 to 24 inches within the row. Once the seedlings are 2″ tall, thin to the best plant per group by cutting the remaining plants off at soil level.
Don’t pull weeds up by hand. Hand-pulling could disturb the root systems of the other plants and pull them out of the soil.
Applying 2-3″ of mulch around the plant will conserve soil moisture and reduce weed growth. Organic mulches like woodchips or straw can also be used when growing watermelons, but do not apply organic mulches until soils are warmer than 75ºF. Applying organic mulches too early keeps the soil cool, resulting in slow growth and shallow rooting.
The roots of melons grow close to the surface of the soil, so it’s important not to cultivate too deeply or too close to the plants. Cultivate just deeply enough to cut the weeds off below the surface of the soil. Continue cultivating until the vines begin to spread between the rows. Then pull large weeds by hand.
Regular deep watering is especially crucial during the first 3 to 4 weeks that growing watermelon vines are growing in your garden. Drip irrigation or soaker hoses are the best way to give watermelons a steady supply of moisture. Water deeply and infrequently (1-2 times per week); provide a total of 1-2 inches of water per week.
Cut back on the water once the plants have started to set fruit; over-watering will dilute the melon’s sugars, causing it to be less flavorful and lose sweetness. Too much water could also stress the plant and cause less fruit to develop. There is very little benefit in a light watering that only wets the soil’s surface. Deep, infrequent, but consistent watering is extremely important especially in the last 2 weeks of growth. Excessive watering at this stage can cause the fruit to split.
Companion Planting and Rotation Considerations
Watermelon doesn’t allow much room for companions, and does best when it can sprawl out freely without competing for nutrients with other plants.
You can try planting Marigolds or Nasturtiums in the area which deter beetles, or Oregano which provides general pest protection but it is likely the vines will smother them if planted too close. They need to be in their own pot or raised bed, out of the reach of the encroaching vines.
Because watermelons are in a different class than muskmelons (cantaloupe) and both require the same care, they’re good companions. Watermelons and muskmelons share the same nutrient requirements and have the same watering needs; and because they are in a different class, their seeds won’t cross-pollinate.
When to Harvest
Ripe watermelon doesn’t slip from the vine when it is ripe, so it takes a little more know-how to tell when a watermelon is ready to pick.
Use this combination of indicators to check for ripeness:
Tendrils near the fruit stem have become brown and dry;
The fruit surface is rough to the touch and the fruit color is dull;
The bottom of the watermelon (where it lies on the soil) has changed from a light green to a yellowish color;
Look for ‘black sap spots’. These are caused by bees extracting the juice from the melon. If there are several beads of hard black sugars, you know you’ve got a sweet melon.
Preventative and Natural solutions to Common Pests and Problems
The use of row covers will help prevent infestations of most pests (see Row Covers, Hot Caps, & Plastic Tunnels)
Striped and Spotted Cucumber Beetles
These pests spread bacterial wilt throughout your crop when they feed; they tend to attack around the time the plants begin flowering.
Note: Male flowers will appear first, at leaf joints on the main stem and female flowers will appear. About one week later, female flowers will develop off of secondary side-shoots.
Your best defense against these pests is to cover your plants with row covers until flowering. The covers must be removed once the female flowers appear so that the bees can access the plants for pollination.
A severe infestation can be controlled with pyrethrins; the pyrethrins are a pair of natural organic compounds that have potent insecticidal activity.
Aphids are tiny pear-shaped insects with long antennae that suck sap from the plant, causing the leaves to become distorted and drop.
A strong spray of water can often knock the insects off your plants. Crushing several cloves of garlic into a spray bottle filled with water and spraying mixture on the plants can often deter these pests. Insecticidal soap, pyrethrins, and neem oil are also effective organic insecticides for heavy infestations.
Squash Vine Borers
Squash vine borers look like 1″ long white caterpillars. They bore through the stem of the plant and may be unnoticeable to the gardener until the vine begins to wilt.
In April (in the South) and in late June or early July (in the North), keep a lookout for an orange and black wasp-like moth. This is an adult borer which lays eggs at the base of the stem during this time. The tiny orange and red eggs are laid just below the surface of the soil. Remove and crush any eggs you can find.
Once the season progresses, keep an eye for entry holes at the base of the stems. If the hole is surrounded by a yellow dropping that resembles sawdust, cut a slit in the stem and remove any larvae. An injection of Bt can also be used (Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt, is a soil-dwelling bacterium, frequently used as an organic alternative to chemical pesticides).
Vine crops that have recently been transplanted or that have been direct-seeded outside and recently germinated have been known to suddenly wilt and die. Most often this occurs when you have a stretch of 4 or more days of rainy, or overcast weather with no protection over your plants to retain heat. If soil temperature drops down below 60F, the plant roots stop absorbing water from the soil.
When the sun does reappear, water evaporates from the leaves faster than the roots absorb water, which results in sudden wilting and death. To prevent this from happening, keep your plants protected when cool wet weather is predicted with the use of row covers or hot caps. In humid climates, watering the roots directly rather than soaking the leaves helps prevent many common foliar diseases.
Most diseases can be avoided by following these rules:
When growing watermelon choose varieties resistant to common diseases such as powdery mildew. Wait until the soil has warmed to a minimum of 70F before planting seeds or transplants and keep soil temperatures consistently warm throughout the entire plant cycle. Keep seeds and seedling beds moist but not water logged.
If starting indoors, plant seeds in 4″ pots or larger to lessen root disturbance and allow more room for roots to develop properly. Transplant seedlings once they have 2-3 true leaves. Avoid over-applying Nitrogen (such as animal manure). Too much nitrogen, especially during fruit set, can encourage “hollow heart” and bland flavor. Provide good air movement around plants by keeping weeds under control and planting with proper spacing.
Powdery mildew, a fungus, can cause leaves to prematurely die, and reduce yield and fruit quality. Damage can include brown spots, tattered holes in leaves, sunken brown lesions on vines, and rotted fruit. Powdery mildew infections are usually caused by warm, humid conditions (68-81F), or the plant being damp too long from rain or overhead watering.
In warm, dry conditions, new spores are produced in leaf spots and can easily spread disease by being blown by the wind and infecting other leaves. To avoid these diseases do not grow melons in an area where any member of the squash family has been grown for 3 years or more. Reduce moisture on leaves by providing plants with proper space, controlling weeds, and using drip irrigation or a soaker hose instead of sprinkler irrigation. Apply a natural fungicide when a single spot of powdery mildew is spotted. Sulfur products can be applied to both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves. Remove severely infected plants and any debris from the garden.
Plant disease resistant varieties whenever available. Resistance is virus specific and it is necessary to first determine which mosaic virus is common in your area. A reputable seed company in your part of the country will have this information. If not, ask your county extension.
Purchase clean seed from a reputable supplier. If saving seeds, do not collect seed from infected plants. Control weeds within and around the planting area. Especially perennial weeds that can carry the virus from one season to the next. Control aphids and cucumber beetles early on to keep populations low. If disease appears in a few plants, bury or dispose these plants to prevent further spread of the disease. Wash hands and tools after working with infected plants.
Watermelons will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week, but not only will flavor and sweetness diminish, so will nutrition levels. The best way to store a watermelon is at a room temperature of 50-60″, such as a basement. Watermelons will last up to 2-3 weeks and retain their flavor, sweetness and nutrition. Melon flesh can be frozen (think watermelon smoothie) and rinds can be pickled.

How to Prevent or Fix a Water Infiltration in a Roof?
Last modified: 2018/10/08 | Approximate reading time 7 mins
If you find an infiltration of water through the roof of your home, then it may raise some concerns about the consequences. In the same regard, this situation should raise questions about the measures that need to be taken to avoid this unpleasant occurrence.
In order to answer the questions mentioned above and deal with this predicament, read on to find an overview of the measures that must be implemented to avoid water infiltrations through your roof as well as the steps to take if this has already happened.
How to prevent water infiltration in your roof?
At first glance, roof water infiltrations may be the consequence of poor gutter maintenance. In fact, your gutters should be cleaned at least twice a year. It is important to clean the gutters of any debris in order to prevent a blockage and thus, a buildup of water.
If the idea of cleaning your gutters sounds like more trouble than it's worth, the alternative of installing a gutter might be of interest to you. There are devices on the market similar to a giant pipe cleaner but made of wire or mesh depending on the model. These work to prevent an accumulation and buildup of leaves, dirt and so on. Though bear in mind they’re a bit more expensive than a regular gutter, coming in at $4 per square foot.
Water infiltration could also be caused by deteriorating or damaged shingles. Unsurprisingly, they can easily allow water to find its way through your roof. It would be important to replace damaged shingles as soon as possible. To take on this repair yourself, simply buy an over-the-counter sealer and apply it to the raised section of the shingle. Install weight on the shingle for a few minutes to allow it to adhere securely to the rest of the roof.
Note that any visible nails in the shingles should be removed from the roof and refastened into place. Even if there is only a minimal amount of water infiltration generated by this space, it will still be harmful to the preservation of your roof.
Water infiltration by way of the soffits
It is very important to avoid perforating soffits. Due to the nature of their placement, infiltration of the soffits may go completely unnoticed and will lead to excessive damage. Moreover, it is crucial that your soffits are never obstructed. This is precisely because your soffits are used to allow ventilation in your attic, and if obstructed, moisture will begin to breed in these places. These things work in tandem, and moisture in the attic will work to deteriorate the condition of the materials. As a result, the surface of your roof will be less permeable to water.
Water passing through the flashing
The flashings also deserve attention, especially when they are in poor condition. This is because their poor condition will prevent the flow of water. This will allow water to seep under the surface and cause it to rest underneath the shingles. It is also important to make sure that the flashings are not cracked and are therefore watertight, as this will allow them to fulfill their role. It should also be noted that the plumbing vent needs to be inspected, as its poor adherence to the roof's surface could cause a counter effect and allow water to infiltrate.
Other potential causes of water infiltration
In the same regard, the accumulation of water as well as ice on a roof is problematic and increases the risk of water infiltration. If you are not comfortable removing snow from your roof, it is recommended that you hire a professional.

I don't think Diary of the Dead has opened wide or even semi-wide yet, and now there's talk of a part 2? I've heard a LOT of mixed reactions to the first one, but I haven't seen it, so I don't want to pass judgment, but from what I gather, part one is independently financed, and is being distributed by the beleaguered Weinstein Company. (Weinstein's have had a bunch of bombs after leaving Miramax.)
Anyway, word is of a sequel, and I have no idea what it's about. And there's a poster, too.
Here's a look at the poster, courtesy of ShockTillYouDrop.com (there's a bigger version there).
And here's a link to some thoughts from Ain't It Cool News, whose Quint didn't quite like part 1. Personally, I just like that Romero is working! | <urn:uuid:c56a9aae-8413-41d7-a687-5e5721ce4ce7> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://screenrant.com/diary-of-the-dead-2-when-is-part-1-coming-out/ | 2019-07-22T11:55:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.985031 | 185 |
The most talented Party Hosts in San Diego are all in one place!!
Party Hero Kylee is one of our NEWEST and youngest party hosts. She has a ton of skating experience and fun activities to bring to your next birthday party!!
Kylee started working at our facility in December of 2017 as a skate hero. At the beginning of 2018 Kylee had the opportunity to become a party host and took full advantage of that! Although she has only worked at SDIA for a few months, she has been surrounded by figure skating her entire life and has been skating at SDIA since she moved to San Diego.
Kylee has been a competitive figure skater for 8 years. Her passion for ice skating truly shines through when she is out on the ice, especially during her 4:45am practices. Kylee shares her love for the ice and her love for the sport with kids of all ages during each party that she hosts.
Along with figure skating, being in her Junior year in high school, and working as a skate hero and a party hero, Kylee also plays cello. She started playing cello only a few years back, but she has excelled tremendously and has had multiple opportunities to travel nationally with her orchestra for festivals and performances.
Kylee has experience as a junior coach for both skating and music. She loves each and every aspect of bringing kids happiness through the things she loves, as well as embracing the ideas and the interests that the kids have themselves!
Her favorite part of hosting birthday parties is getting to see the kids faces light up while they are on the ice, as well as teaching them new tricks, helping them through obstacles they may face while on the ice, and lastly creating a fun and safe environment for all people involved in the parties and public sessions! | <urn:uuid:0e623160-23b8-4afa-8b37-06d27149c6c4> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://sdice.com/best-party-heroes-at-san-diego-ice-arena-kylee/ | 2019-07-22T12:49:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.990939 | 366 |
I can’t get it through my head that it is October 19. I keep thinking that it is a week earlier or a week later. I think that I just can’t process the idea that my big wonderful trip is this week!
But for some reason, I can’t make myself begin packing? What’s up with that? Oh well, the kitchen needed a good cleaning. I’ll get it done tomorrow.
I’m pretty sure that I aced my exam today. Turns out that studying sometimes pays off. Who knew? I never studied in high school or for the first BA I earned (well, maybe a LITTLE for that one). I did okay without it, although with a degree that I couldn’t earn much more than minimum wage with for years. Now with middle age and a few thousand killed brain cells from my partying years, I have memory problems.
Wednesday morning will be a milestone for me – after years of a serious flying phobia, I will fly across the country all by myself. I’m not nervous about it at all, although I still don’t like to fly because of my motion sickness issues.
I think that my reluctance to begin packing is driven by the anxiety of decision-making. I will have to have one checked bag because of the art supplies I need to take, and I want to take only one carry-on bag and a large tote bag. Nothing that is too much for me to reasonably lug around on my own with a sprained hand. I am the type of person who will attempt to bring the whole house with her for a weekend away. It is part of the obsessive contingency planning personality thing. What if this happens? What if that gets ruined or lost or broken? This is the one time that I admire Sandy for his laissez-faire attitude about travel. Of course he doesn’t have to worry because I do more than enough for two.
I’m going to go to bed early and pack tomorrow night. And go to bed early tomorrow night too. It’s like Christmas – the earlier you fall asleep the quicker Santa Claus gets here. | <urn:uuid:98b56751-81d7-4352-94e9-9edced042ead> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://slowlysheturned.net/2009/10/19/927/ | 2019-07-22T12:59:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.974152 | 455 |
Saturday Night Live Transcripts
Season 21: Episode 16
Phil Hartman’s Monologue
Phil Hartman: Thank you! Thank you very much! Thank you, it’s great to be back on “Saturday Night Live.” I spent 8 years as a cast member on this show; I did 153 episodes; played 518 characters; wore 627 wigs – 50 of which were some personal business I do in the privacy of my own home.. The point is – I’ve seen a lot of monologues, and, believe you me, the monologue can destroy a man. It’s the most difficult part of the show. Matthew Broderick did one, and had to spend two months in a halfway house; Steven Seagal did one, and.. you’ve seen what he’s like now. But as for me, I relish a challenge! Because after all the hundreds of voices I’ve done, I finally get to use my own voice. Now I have the chance toplay the one person I’ve never played before – myself! So, here we go.[ speaks, but a deep voice slips out ] You know, I was born in a small town.. [ coughs ] Excuse me.. [ tries again, but a squeaky voice pops out ] I was born in a small town.. [ suddenly breaks apart ] I can’t do this! I don’t know who I am..! [ runs off stage ] [ cut to the hall outside the studio, past Tim Meadows ]
Tim Meadows: Phil!
Phil Hartman: Don’t look at me! [ runs to his dressing room ]
Tim Meadows: Phil! [ runs after him ] Phil! [ stands outside Phil’s dressing room ]
Phil Hartman: Leave me alone!
Tim Meadows: Come on, Phil, I know you’re in there.
Phil Hartman: [ talking to his mirror inisde his dressing room ] Phil can’t finish the monologue.. because I don’t know who Phil is.. Who are you?!
Tim Meadows: You’re Phil Hartman! You’re one of the best sketchperformers this show has ever had! You’re one of my idols!
Phil Hartman: Of course I am. I’m so much better than you are. But this is different, don’t you see?! Hiding behind wigs, fake noses and false bosoms.. that’s easy! What’s hard is playing the one character I’ve never had to play – myself! Who am I!
Tim Meadows: I’ll tell you who you are – Phil Hartman!
Phil Hartman: [ mocking ] Phil Hartman! I’m 47 years old.. I’m41 years old! But I don’t know who Phil Hartman is!
Tim Meadows: Look, I’ll tell you who Phil Hartman is. He’s the guy who let me stay in his apartment when I first came to this show. The guy who fed me, gave me hope! That’s who Phil Hartman is!
Phil Hartman: That wasn’t me! That was Kevin Nealon!
Tim Meadows: Oh, right.. Kevin Nealon, yeah..
Phil Hartman: If you don’t even know who I am.. how am I supposed to know?
Tim Meadows: Look, Phil.. would McDonald’s – America’s #1 fast food chain – pay you $1 million to bw its spoeksman if there was no Phil Hartman?
Phil Hartman: [ interested ] Go on.
Tim Meadows: Listen – would the Cheeto’s Corporation stake theirreputation on Phil Hartman if they didn’t know who Phil Hartman is?
Phil Hartman: Of course not. It’s Cheetos.. the cheesiest cheese snack there is!
Tim Meadows: Right! And would Cary’s Big & Tall Shop of Muncie,Indiana choose you to be their Dress slacks spokesman if there was no Phil Hartman?
Phil Hartman: That’s a regional spot. How did you see that?
Tim Meadows: I told you – you’re my idol! Now, look, Phil, most of all, would I be here if I didn’t know who Phil Hartman is?
Phil Hartman: You’re right.. Who is this?
Tim Meadows: It’s Tim Meadows!
Phil Hartman: Tim?! You’re still on the show?! Look.. I’m sorry I was never nice to you when you were on the show. I already had a pre-existing relationship with Chris Rock, and..
Tim Meadows: Look, Phil.. You got a show to do. Now get out there!
Phil Hartman: [ weeping ] I can’t do it, timmy, I can’t..
Tim Meadows: You can, and you will! And if you won’t do it for yourself, do it for the rest of us who’ll never get the chance to host the show. Do it for the Anthony Michael Halls.. the Nora Dunns.. Hell, do it for Joe Piscopo!
Phil Hartman: [ steps out of his dressing room and hugs Tim ] You’re right. I am somebody! I’ve got a monologue to do! [ cooly saunters down the hall, where he encounters Phil Hartman, Nancy Walls, Chris Kattan, Mark McKinney, and members of the writing staff, who they begin to clap for Phil as he approaches Lorne Michaels ] Lorne, I know woh I am now. I’m ready to host your show!
Lorne Michaels: Go get ’em, Bill.
Phil Hartman: Phil.
Lorne Michaels: Right.
Phil Hartman: [ returns to home base triumphantly ] The Gin Blossoms are here! And I am proud to be your host!

This F/A-18C Hornet focused patch update for DCS World 18.104.22.16884 comes with plenty of fixes for the Hornet and early implementation of the AGM-65F as well as finalized code for the AGM-65E. There are also updates to the JHMCS, radar, and some bugs squashed too.
Hornet focused but not exclusive
In addition to the F/A-18C getting some much needed bugs squashed, there are also some small fixes to other items ranging from a disappearing Su-24 bug to self destructing Su-34s. The Viggen also gets some patches with some afterburner graphics glitches solved, some waypoint pathing issues, and the implementation of the Ground Radar 2.0 Heatblur developed raycasted ground radar – the first of its kind in DCS World (to the best of my knowledge).
The Hornet picks up a whole bunch of updates that I think are essential to the smooth operating of some of the aircraft’s radar systems. Let’s check these and other fixes for the jet out:
DCS F/A-18C Hornet
Added radio command to AI wingmen to “Go to Tanker”.
Corrected nose bounce and blackout when launching from the aircraft carrier with a heavy payload.
DCS World Changelog
Updated AGM-65E/F. While the AGM-65E is now complete, the AGM-65F is still a work in progress. Known AGM-65F issues include TDC slew roughness, missile speed, and seeker lock distance against ships.
– Radar will no longer move to the other side of the display when when the radar is commanded gimbal limits
– Fix the antenna position if the HMD is turned on and the operator looks at the HUD
– Radar no longer gets stuck in an 8-degree scan and that cannot be exited after locking a target and breaking lock
– Rmax and Seeker Cue can no longer appear outside the tactical radar area.
– HACQ/LHAQ mode – radar FOV circle will be drawn while looking through HUD
– HACQ/LHAQ mode – radar lock while looking through HUD is fixed
– Fixed radar antenna position lock when HMD is turned on and looking through HUD
– Up-look reticles was added
These all sound great and I can’t wait to get a chance to fly with these system updates in place.
Check the official patch notes for the full list of updates for users on the beta patch release schedule.
Update (December 6 at 7:09 am EST): The Hornet also now comes with 13 interactive training missions which is a sizable boost for the module and for new pilots learning the module. | <urn:uuid:6d4b3333-8d5b-4e66-96f5-6944695d0105> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://stormbirds.blog/2018/12/05/dcs-beta-patch-comes-with-fixes-agm-65f/ | 2019-07-22T11:52:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.918319 | 584 |
If you are like us and enjoy fossicking on the beach, you may have found leathery looking cases washed onto the shore and wondered what they were. Well, they are shark egg cases. They can come in all sorts of shapes and we thought it would be interesting to do some research on the topic. So read on and next time you beachcomb, you can go on a great egg case hunt, knowing which egg case belongs to which shark or skate!
Oviparous Vs Viviparous Sharks?
Firstly we found that not all sharks lay eggs. Of the 400 or so species of sharks, only 40% do. This is called oviparity. The other 60% of shark species give birth to live young. This is called viviparity.
You might wonder why one type of shark would lay eggs rather than give birth to live young. Well apparently there may be a link between reproductive strategies and habitat. Littoral sharks tend to be oviparous, whereas pelagic sharks tend to be viviparous. Feeding ecology also has an influence. Large predatory sharks are typically viviparous. Smaller sharks and skates which feed on smaller fish and invertebrates are oviparous. I knew there had to be an explanation!
Shark species that lay eggs include:
- Carpet sharks
- Horn (bullhead) sharks
- Swell sharks
Those odd looking egg cases
Most oviparous sharks and skates lay their eggs in strangely shaped cases sometimes called a ‘mermaid’s purse.’ When the eggs are laid, they are in a thin, protective capsule made of collagen. They often are square or rectangular with stringy or pointy corner horns, but can come in a variety of odd shapes. The egg case has tendrils that allow it to attach to corals, seaweed or the ocean bottom. A few sharks, such as the Port Jackson shark, have egg cases in the form of a spiral which are secured into the sand like drill bits. Shark egg cases usually remain underwater until the baby sharks which they contain hatch. They then can be picked up in currents and wash up on our Southern beaches.
Which egg case goes with which shark?
With a bit of detective work, here is what we found:-
- The Port Jackson Shark, and its 10cm long spiral egg case:
- The Spotted Swellshark and its 8-9cm long washboard egg case:
- The Elephant Fish and its 16cm long finned capsule:
- The Catshark and its 4 to 6cm long egg case:
- The Melbourne Skate and its 10cm ragged-edges Mermaid Purse:
- The Thornback Skate and its Mermaid Purse:
- The Southern Round Skate and its 8cm long Mermaid Purse:
Most photos of the egg cases were taken on beaches of Wilson’s Promontory or along the Ninety Miles Beach off the Gippsland Lakes. The shark and skate photos are public domain images.
So there you have it, next time you take a walk along our Southern shores, keep an eye out for these fragile, lightweight egg cases. You will be able to identify them.

Q. You’re speaking at Voxxed Days Bucharest in March. Tell us a bit about your session.
This session introduces Java Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) as a novel way for building high-performance reactive streams processing for connected/embedded/robotics devices using Spring Reactor and RxJava libraries.
It includes a demo of running reactive hot event streams processing on a custom developed Java robot called IPTPI (using Raspberry Pi 2, quad-core at 900MHtt, 1 GB RAM): motor encoders, gyroscope, accelerometer, compass and distance sensor events. More information about robots developed at IPT and RoboLearn hackathons is available at: http://robolearn.org/
Q. Why is the subject matter important?
Internet of Things (IoT) and service robotics are emerging game changers for many industries including home automation and smart cities, smart vehicles, agriculture, retail, education and sport. The essential requirements for the emerging device/process/service ecosystems is effective, efficient, secure, scalable and reliable distributed event processing. Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) becomes a popular paradigm for building distributed event processing systems, by providing easy to use and composable higher-level abstraction for high performance computing, and hiding complexities of non-blocking concurrency implementations. Reactor and RxJava are complementary reactive event processing frameworks providing feature rich and efficient implementation of reactive programming paradigm in Java.
Q. Who should attend your session?
Software developers or just robotics/IoT hobbyists interested in reactive programming and its practical implementation for high-performance (hot) event streams processing in Java.
Q. What are the key things attendees will take away from your session?
Better understanding of functional reactive programming in general, and state-of-the-art reactive Java frameworks in particular – with emphasis on Reactor and RxJava. Practical “real robotic world” examples for functional hot event stream processing and (hopefully) amusement with IPTPI robot 🙂
Some background info and a lot of resources on Java robotics and IoT.
Q. Aside from speaking at Voxxed Days Bucharest, what else are you excited about for 2016?
Practical IT education by building and programming Things, and sharing knowledge about it. High-performance FRP and its applications for distributed (big data) computing for IoT. Building own CNC router/3D printer/laser cutter for robot parts and IoT cases for all the friends around. | <urn:uuid:88a0619a-8caf-4d17-9254-c454796db6c2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://voxxeddays.com/romania/2016/02/07/trayan-iliev-interview/ | 2019-07-22T11:41:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.8794 | 515 |

I recently taught a class to supervisors on improving employee behaviors and performance through coaching. Part of the class consisted of practice coaching sessions. I was a little surprised at the topic the class suggested for these sessions: coaching employees who complain that others are mean to them, criticize them, or exclude them from the team.
I shouldn’t have been. Everyone who does HR related work recognizes that American workplaces are not that different from American high schools (junior highs?) in the way many employees interact with each other. There are cliques, popular and unpopular kids, teacher’s pets (or perceived favorites), and so on. These kinds of problems hurt productivity and drive management crazy. They also can lead to bullying and harassment complaints.
So what’s a supervisor or manager to do? First, you want to determine if it’s potentially a harassment complaint, i.e., the co-workers’ behaviors are allegedly motivated the complainant’s race, gender, religion, etc. Do not hesitate to just ask, “Why do you think X is doing that to you? Do you think it’s because of your [protected class status]? What makes you think that?” If it seems like it may be a harassment complaint, follow your policy and procedures.
Second, if you think there is actual bullying going on, you may need to step in and also investigate. Coaching the target may or may not be an appropriate response.
If you’re pretty sure it’s not a harassment complaint or real bullying, you can then move into coaching mode. Working with an employee on this type of issue can be very challenging, but it helps to keep a few basic supervisory goals and methods in mind:
- First, to the extent possible, you want to help the employee solve the problem himself. You can provide coaching in the background, but it’s better to not intervene unless you decide after further discussion and thought that you need to either talk to the other person, facilitate a conversation between the two (or three, four, or more) parties, or both.
- Second, you want to help the employee see how she may be contributing to the problem. It almost always takes two, and it’s not “blaming the victim” to explore the conversational “dance” that goes on between the complainant and the others and see where she may be affecting the outcome.
- Third, you want to help the employee see beyond his interpretation of the other person’s behaviors and explore other possibilities. Did the other person really glare at the employee or was she having a attack of heartburn? “It may not be about you at all” is a helpful concept to explore.
- Finally, you want to work with the employee to come up with an action plan, even if it’s just baby steps, to build on what you discussed in the first meeting. You also want to schedule another meeting: at least three meetings total is a good goal.
In future columns, I’ll discuss a more specific coaching framework for this type of complaint as well as some of the challenges. Coaching may seem too time consuming, but when it works, it’s an investment that is well worth the effort. ~Amy Stephson | <urn:uuid:6ff5bb5b-defa-43df-b5e8-28dcc9dcae92> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://workplaceinsiders.com/2011/11/30/shes-mean-to-me/ | 2019-07-22T11:48:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.962921 | 687 |

Doc friulian wines
The doc Friulian wines are both red and white: in particular, one of the most famous wines is the so-called Friulano Collio wine that once, before the querelle with Hungary lost after several years of battle, was called Tocai.
The Collio doc wines, however, also includes amazing wines such as the famous Picolit which owes its unique flavor to the few berries that reach maturity but which retain intact a strong sugary taste. Another excellent wine is the Ribolla Gialla renowned for its freshness and strong acidity and the Souvignon blanc which the Attems vinery present as Cicinis: this wine is a sort of an iconic symbol of the Cantina and it preserves centuries of tradition and knowledge of the terroir. Attems is, as a matter of facts, an expression of the territory and one of the few winery able to preserve all the aromatic potentiality of the grapes.
Doc Friulian wines are a world of flavor and tradition, all to be discovered: come to the beautiful area of the Friulian Collio and let yourself be inebriated by taste! | <urn:uuid:b799a673-605e-46e4-913b-73cadea17af0> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.attems.it/doc-friulian-wines.html | 2019-07-22T13:08:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.96372 | 243 |

When the weather is beautiful, preparing meals at the campsite and the contact with nature can bring a lot of joy- after all, many of these facilities offers visitors greenery, peace and tranquility, as well as an access to the river, lake or even a swimming pool. But what if the weather isn’t too favorable?
One of the ideas to beat the boredom are board games. For many, the first inclination would probably be Monopoly or Scrabble - board games, which need no introduction. But there’s a lot more of other cool games, which clearly confirms that they didn’t go out of fashion.
What, if not Monopoly?
The first proposition for a rainy afternoon is Dobble, a game for those, who are quick and observant. It requires 55 round cards with 50 designs that need to fit together. On each of them there are 8 pictures of different sizes and colors. The game is easy and exciting, especially in the version, in which players get cards in hands and try to match them to the one that is on the table as soon as possible. The winner is the first, who matches the pictures and thus gets rid of all the cards. Dobble is a loud game, where players try to outshout and outrun each other. It doesn‘t require too much space - you can play in a tent, on a blanket, on a small table, literally everywhere.
Another board game is Time's Up! Family, which is really liked by the adherents of rivalry. It requires the participation of at least two teams, whose task is to guess the names of occupations, animals or objects. There’re 220 cards, and 440 names. Each game lasts three rounds, and wins the person, who has the largest number of points. In the first round, the animator prompting his team can say any everything, in the other - just one word, while in the third – he can only present the word using gestures or sounds. What matters here is the astuteness and the ability to match facts quickly. The whole game is accompanied by lots of laughter.
If you have more space...
...you can play one of the most popular board games in the world, which is Carcassonne. Every time is different, because there’s no standard board – it’s created during the game. Players in turn draw lots and put tiles with fragments of land at the table (a road, a meadow or a city). They place them next to the already existing ones, creating an expanding board. Each player has 7 pieces, and the player who scores the highest number of points wins.
What counts here is a good strategy and time - pieces are needed to get the next tiles. Players can compete or cooperate and create new objects.
There’s a whole bunch of board games on the market, and every family can find the suitable one. In conclusion, what really counts is not the time and place, but the company. | <urn:uuid:eabe6213-bee7-4b2a-bafb-c28a6f0aea6a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.camprest.com/en/news/tips/board-games-for-the-whole-family | 2019-07-22T12:29:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.966715 | 622 |
On this Earth Day, there's a lawsuit focused squarely on climate change that's working its way through the federal court system. It was filed on behalf of a group of kids who are trying to get the courts to block the U.S. government from continuing the support of the fossil fuel industry.
Last month, correspondent Steve Kroft reported on the suit, Juliana v. United States. As he reported, the suit alleges the U.S. government knowingly failed to protect them from climate change. If the plaintiffs win, it could mean massive changes for the use of fossil fuels.
Kroft spoke with Julia Olson, the lawyer representing the 21 children in the suit. Kroft asked her if the government disputes the findings that every president since Lyndon Johnson has known about the threat of burning fossil fuels.
"They admit that the government has known for over 50 years that burning fossil fuels would cause climate change," Olson said. "And they don't dispute that we are in a danger zone on climate change. And they don't dispute that climate change is a national security threat and a threat to our economy and a threat to people's lives and safety. They do not dispute any of those facts of the case."
Climate scientists expect more frequent, more powerful storms in the future, storms which are likely to cause severe flooding. But the Netherlands, which sits mostly below sea level and is one of the most flood-prone places in the world, almost never floods. Last September, correspondent Bill Whitaker reported on the Dutch solution for flood prevention.
He spoke with Henk Ovink, the world's only water ambassador. He advises 35 individual countries, a dozen U.S. cities, and the U.N. on how to decrease the damage caused by hurricanes and other major storms.
"We can't prevent them from happening," Ovink said. "But the impact that is caused by these disasters, we can decrease by preparing ourselves. I think the catastrophes we see in the world are all man-made. The storms are perhaps man-caused and you can debate that. But the catastrophes because of the storms? Those are man-made." | <urn:uuid:56b3c5c9-564b-4e63-b8eb-e2510f881193> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.cbsnews.com/news/earth-day-60-minutes-climate-stories-2019-04-22/ | 2019-07-22T12:29:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.972176 | 443 |
We're still embracing Greenery (the 2017 Pantone Colour of the Year) in every single way possible, but already, we have more inspiration to ponder for the year ahead. Behold: The 2018 colour forecast...
At the International Home + Housewares Show this week, Pantone Colour Institute executive director Leatrice Eiseman revealed what colour and design trends we can expect next year, and there seems to be something for just about everyone.
"Metallics we know are classic, but they have really moved over into neutrals," Eiseman said. She also predicts a continued infatuation with iridescence, since "the human eye can absolutely not avoid" anything pearlised or translucent.
Another standout trend will include a movement to intense colours rather than pastels — music to the ears for bright colour lovers. "Intense colours seem to be a natural application of our intense lifestyles and thought processes these days," she said.
Ready to start colour scheming for 2018? Read on for the eight palettes you can expect to see next year with commentary from Eiseman.
Resourceful: This palette is made up of complementary blue and orange colours. "This is quite an interesting colour combination," said Eiseman. "It combines warm and cool tones that you just can't avoid looking at it."
Verdure: Vegetal colours like celery are combined with berry-infused purples and eggshell blue, symbolic of health, in this palette.
Playful: Think 'Minions' - bright yellow, lime popsicle and all other things fun come together for this colour scheme. "People need to stop and smile," declared Eiseman.
Discretion: Playful's alter ego. Subtle hues such as Elderberry and Hawthorne Rose offer a new sense of strength. Eiseman said "pink has developed more power than ever before."
Far-fetched: With warm, earthy hues such as Cornsilk Yellow blending with rosy tones, this palette "reaches out and embraces many different cultures."
Intricacy: A palette of neutral metallics (aka, the "new neutrals") with accents of dramatic Holly Berry Red and yellow Sulfur.
Intensity: This is an eclectic mix of colours that evokes a sense of strength, power and sophistication, all balanced with black and gold.
TECH-nique: Bright turquoise, pink and purple colours anchored with Brilliant White and Frosted Almond nod to technology. This palette is all about hues "that seem to shine from within."

Darien boys golf raises $8.5K for Folds of Honor
The Darien High School boys golf team raised $8,500 for the Folds of Honor Foundation at its 5th annual charity tournament on May 2 at the Country Club of Darien.
Founded in 2007, the Folds of Honor provides educational scholarships to spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service-members. To date, it has awarded more than 20,000 scholarships.
Darien co-captains Blake Swiggett and Matt Daileader, spearheaded this year’s event.
“Folds of Honor is an incredible organization that we have had the privilege of supporting as a team these past few years,” Daileader said. “Their work in providing scholarships to the children of fallen veterans helps show our gratitude towards their families, as our security is thanks to their sacrifice. Being able to go out and play the game we love among friends, family, and teammates while contributing to a cause much greater than ourselves makes it that much more special.”
“The Darien Boys Golf Team truly appreciates all the love and support we received from not only our friends and families, but from the community as a whole,” Swiggett said. “Our Folds of Honor Tournament was a huge success thanks to the generous contributions of local businesses and families, and we couldn’t have done it without them. The day was a special one that we will not soon forget.”
The golf team thanked Darien Sport Shop, Vavala’s, Devil’s Purse Brewing Company, Infinity Fitness, Kirby & Company, Mama Carmela’s Italian Deli, The Tavlarios Family, Brooks & Falotico Associates, Jimmy’s Southside Tavern and Greenbriar Equity Group for their support of the event.
“The Folds of Honor event has become a great Blue Wave Boys Golf Team tradition,” head coach Tom O’Donnell said. “We have a fun day of golf with family and friends while raising scholarship money for the children of deceased and/or disabled veterans. It is our way of saying thanks to those who provide the freedom and security we enjoy every day.
“We would like to thank the Country Club of Darien whose ongoing support of the event makes it possible for us to donate all monies raised to the Folds of Honor organization. The team would like to extend a special thanks to Alan Wronowski, PGA Hall of Fame member and Director of Golf Relations for the Folds of Honor organization, for being our guest speaker at the reception. His words were thoughtful and inspirational as he shared his passion for the organization he represents.”

A mother wouldn’t trust her sick child with the ice cream man who claims to have medical experience. Nor would you trust your next big project with the intern that hasn’t completed their undergraduate degree. So why would you trust HVAC maintenance with someone who claims that be a technician, but hasn’t been NATE certified to work on HVAC systems in Titusville, Florida?
Your HVAC does more than heat or cool your office, it also impacts health and productivity. By trusting only NATE-certified technicians with your commercial HVAC system, you’ll ensure comfort in your office and more money in your pocket. Here’s why you should only trust a NATE-certified tech with your HVAC system.
What Does NATE Certification Entail?
NATE, or North American Technician Excellence, is a non-profit organization dedicated to supplying the U.S. with qualified, able technicians. Getting certified by NATE is no walk in the park. In order to receive the prestigious certification, aspiring technicians must pass tests focused on specific areas of the field, such as heat pumps, air conditioning, and much more. Once technicians pass a written test, they must also pass a hands-on practical test.
However, NATE, as an organization, does not employ or supervise technicians they’ve certified. They simply supply the resources for qualification.
Why You Should Only Trust NATE-Certified Technicians
By putting technicians through extensive tests, NATE ensures that their technicians are qualified to handle every situation. When a component fails or your system is straining, immediate repair is necessary to reduce the chances of repairs becoming more costly. An unqualified technician’s attempt to solve the problem could exacerbate the issue and result in higher costs on your end.
However, repairs conducted by a NATE-certified technician are guaranteed to not only repair problems, but will also improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality. Once your tech completes repairs, you’ll also enjoy lower utility costs.
There are plenty of places in your budget that need more attention, so don’t lose money to unqualified technicians. To see how our NATE-certified technicians can improve your commercial HVAC, call Ellington Air Conditioning and Heating at 321-252-0469.

Resume Summary Examples For Retail 11 Top Risks Of Resume Summary Examples For Retail
How continued will recruiters absorb on your résumé afore chief to bung it in the recycle bin? Six seconds, says online job chase armpit The Ladders. That’s about 20 to 30 words.
So how do you address those aboriginal few curve of your resume—the arbitrary section—to bulldoze the recruiter to accumulate reading? How do you accomplish abiding you get the call—and not the toss? How do you accomplish your arbitrary memorable?
Here’s a checklist:
Let’s attending at a few examples of able summaries:
“Pharmaceutical business controlling with 20 years of acquaintance creating bartering infrastructures, growing brands, and optimizing artefact amount throughout launch, re-launch, and dusk activity cycles beyond all chump segments—payers, physicians, and patients. Lead all-around business and bartering operations teams with P&Ls up to $2B.”
“EHS administrator with 20 years of acquaintance active authoritative acquiescence and employees’ bloom and assurance beyond industries—manufacturing, retail, and healthcare. Develop award-winning, injury-reducing ergonomic equipment. Barrage LMS training programs and agreeable websites to acquaint bags of employees.”
“Online ad sales administrator with 12 years of acquaintance arch sales teams in start-up, rapidly growing, and accustomed companies. Maximize advantage of ads beyond all platforms, including games, mobile, social, and web. Consistently beat acquirement targets—even back aggressive Facebook and added adamant competitors in awash markets.”
Now let’s attending at how these summaries followed the checklist:
Tailor your arbitrary to anniversary job application. Accomplish a account of the three or four best important responsibilities of anniversary announcement and again highlight those in your summary. This anon tells the hiring administrator that you’ve apparent the aforementioned types of problems she’s ambidextrous with. And it’s account her time to accumulate account and again account you.
Focus on specific results. How accept added organizations benefited from your work? And which of your accomplishments analyze you from added candidates?
The business controlling (above) congenital bartering infrastructures from scratch, fabricated drugs assisting from barrage to sunset, and managed $2B P&Ls. The EHS administrator invented award-winning ergonomic equipment—quite a characteristic ability aural his added accepted bloom and assurance achievements. And the sales administrator bankrupt into the online bold bazaar with sponsored ads. He additionally larboard the clairvoyant acquisitive to apperceive added by acquainted his David and Goliath-like battle with Facebook.
Note the types of organizations and industries you’ve formed in. The business controlling began her arbitrary with “pharmaceutical”—the one industry she’s formed in throughout her career. The EHS administrator accent his assignment beyond three industries–retail, manufacturing, and healthcare. And the sales controlling acclaimed his accomplishments beyond media companies at three stages of development—start-up, growth, and well-established.
Now, if you’re applying for a position in an industry altered from the one you’re currently in, here’s an archetype of an another anatomy for your résumé summary. This person was applying for a chief activity administrator position at Disney, but her best contempo assignment was in children’s museums:
She alleged absorption to the three areas of ability best important to the Disney position—project management, action leadership, and communication–using bullets and bolding. She then followed this arbitrary with a Selected Accomplishments area documenting her achievements in anniversary of those areas. The additional folio of her résumé acclimated the added acceptable Acquaintance architecture to call her positions in bottomward archival order.
Avoid all-encompassing terms. Rather than artlessly claiming to be results-driven, all these summaries accompaniment the after-effects the applicants achieved. Eschewing abracadabra agreement enables recruiters to anon see what you’ve done, annoyance their interest, and animate them to apprentice more.
A agenda about LinkedIn: Unlike three- or four-line résumé summaries, you accept up to 2,000 characters in the arbitrary area of your LinkedIn contour to highlight accomplishments and affix them to what you appetite to do next. For abundant added detail about how to address a LinkedIn summary, apprehend How to Use Your LinkedIn Contour to Power a Career Transition.
The added sections of your resume are, of course, additionally important.

Accomplish it anon bright that you accept what it takes to excel in her position. Analyze yourself from added applicants. And apprehend the buzz to alpha ringing.

Early modern urban societies were primarily integrated through communication amongst those living there. The media of such communication were composed of sounds in addition to speech, rituals, and print media. All of these elements helped to structure the social, cultural, and political space of the state in a way that is specific to its epoch. The sounds of early modern cities were “legible”: they formed a highly complex acoustic media and communications system that brought a rhythm to everyday life, gave a structure to the space of the city, and, moreover, indicated specific events through specific acoustic signals. In a way that is analogous to optical media, sounds at this time can be interpreted as a networked communication or media system that is culturally formed: such a system is governed by societal norms and interwoven with societal conflicts. Historical actors did not just hear differently, but followed those specific “soundways” that formed their social world and provided them with meaning.
The guiding questions of my project include the following: to what extent can sounds be understood as media of political power? What kind of knowledge about political regimes can be communicated with regard to which sounds? Who is in control of the power that decides which sounds will be a part of the city? Conversely, can we identify strategies of acoustic subversion? What kinds of sounds would be “read” in addition to being heard, understood, and interpreted? Can one speak of a distinct sound environment of early modern urban societies? It is the hypothesis of this project that political sonic and auditory knowledgeis created mainly vis-à-vis the knowledge of the acoustic frameworks of legitimacy ordering a society. Legitimacy and illegitimacy of sounds are categories of societal power structures. Therefore, political power is always, to some extent, a measure of legitimate sound production and appropriate listening practices in a political system. At the same time, however, that which would have been deemed illegitimate or offensive noise at given period of time is by no means a priori, but rather was the result of political conflict.
My project traces the politics of acoustics through the example of the early modern urban society of Zurich in a longitudinal perspective from the fifteenth to the early nineteenth century. I am especially interested in the relationship between political, religious, and social processes of transformation and their respective production of acoustic knowledge. | <urn:uuid:1ac9497a-6d25-48bd-91ef-856df0908c1c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.hoer-wissen-im-wandel.de/en/projekte/klangraeume.html | 2019-07-22T12:49:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.964609 | 473 |
Italian brand Dada launched the Vela kitchen, given a makeover by Argentinian designer Dante Bonuccelli. The new and improved Vela kitchen is characterized by its continuous surfaces and thin 13-millimeter-thick doors. A discreetly installed mechanism allows doors to swing open, while linear graphic handles emphasize the horizontal lines of the surfaces and underline the slender worktops. Panels come in either Eucalyptus or in a selection of tactile high-pressure laminates.
Part of the The Molteni Group, Dada produces kitchens at Mesero in the province of Milan since the early 1970s. It offers a range of kitchens. | <urn:uuid:0ee77617-46dd-4545-909d-4885667cb654> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.hotelmanagement.net/design/new-and-improved-vela-by-dante-bonuccelli-for-dada | 2019-07-22T11:42:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.910069 | 136 |
The Queen will have the final say when it comes to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s baby name, a royal expert has revealed.
Royal commentator Kate Williams told CNN that while Diana is the current favourite, the Queen's opinion will be taken into account in an "informal conversation".
"The Queen has the power to say what their title is," Williams told CNN.
"But in the case of names, it is more of an informal conversation.
"Of course they have such respect for the Queen that if she says 'I really don't like that name,' they'd definitely take that into account."
The most popular names in the royal family are Albert for a boy and Victoria for a girl.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are due to welcome their first child some time in April.

If you’re running your own store on WordPress, you know how important it is to have great WooCommerce follow up emails.
There’s an amazing amount of value you can get for your ecommerce store by setting up automated follow up emails.
And that’s what we’ll be looking at today.
Table of Contents:
- Set up follow up email automation
- Segment your list
- Use engaging subject lines
- Take a customer-centric approach
- Ask for feedback
- Be brief
- Make an offer for referral or recommended products
But just in case you’re not 100% clear on what follow up emails are…
What are WooCommerce follow up emails?
WooCommerce follow up emails are pretty much just follow up emails created for WooCommerce stores.
A follow-up, or post-purchase email, is an email sent some time after a customer has bought something from you.
Usually this is about one week, but you can make the delay shorter or longer.
(It’s different from order confirmation emails, which are essentially receipts sent right after a customer buys your product.)
If you have some experience with email marketing, you know that, in general, follow up emails give you a quick way to:
- get feedback about your product that a customer has purchased
- build a strong relationship with a customer
- convert one-time customers into repeat customers
- move customers down the funnel, turning them into brand advocates who will spread great word-of-mouth about your company and products
Great, now that we’ve got that covered, let’s go over the best practices and examples of great WooCommerce follow up emails.
7 best practices
Let’s get started on your follow up journey with these best practices you absolutely need to master.
If you’re on WordPress and want to get started on email marketing, check out our WooCommerce plugin today.
#1 Set up follow up email automation
If you want to set up post purchase/follow up emails, you’ll need to automate the process.
Either that, or you have some extensive Excel sheet where you record all the items your customers have bought, when, and when you should (manually) send your follow up emails.
Set up automation, such as this one below:
You can set it up so that the email goes out 1 week, 30 days, or more after a customer has made a purchase.
Of course, you also need to figure in the shipping time.
If a customer purchases an item from you and it takes 10 days for it to be delivered, it wouldn’t make sense to send a follow up email after 7 days, seeing as there would be nothing to talk about.
Taking into account your average shipping times, think about how long it would take for the customer to still be enjoying the product.
You don’t want to wait too long. I’d recommend sending the follow up email about 3 days after the customer has received the product.
#2 Segment your list
You should know by now: don’t send the same emails to all your customers.
Usually people tend to segment their lists by geographical or other demographic data.
However, this doesn’t usually make that much of a difference, unless you less gender- or location-specific products.
It’s better to segment by behavior or transactional history.
After all a customer that’s bought from you many times will need different messaging than one that’s bought from you the first time.
You can read more here about how to set up smart segmentation.
#3 Use engaging subject lines
Here at Omnisend, we do enjoy researching the best email subject lines.
And there’s a great reason why: fantastic subject lines lead to higher open rates, which lead to better click rates, which lead to—you guess it—much better sales.
When you’re crafting your follow up emails for WooCommerce, remember to think of something that will interest your readers.
Of course, it’s important that the subject lines are relevant to the content of the email.
In general, however, these following subject lines can work for your follow up emails:
- Enjoying your new purchase?
- 10% off your next purchase!
- Tell us what you think and get $25 off
- Your recent purchase…
#4 Take a customer-centric approach
It’s important that you view your entire customer journey/marketing funnel when crafting any specific step.
So when looking at your follow up emails, make sure you’re focusing on the long-run, not short-run.
If you’re focusing on the short-run, you want the sale, now, at any cost.
If you’re focusing on the long-run, you understand that a happy customer is a lifelong customer.
That’s why, when you’re creating your WooCommerce follow up emails, make sure you’re focusing on the value that it’s bringing to the customer—this one, and all your customers.
#5 Ask for feedback
In that same vein, your follow up email presents a great opportunity to ask for feedback.
This is a very customer-centric approach, seeing as you’ll be using this feedback to improve something in your product or marketing.
This can include:
- the actual product
- the shipping or packaging
- the prices
- the communication: offers, descriptions, etc.
There are a lot of things you can improve about your product, since it all depends on the type of feedback you’ll be getting.
In general, though, make sure you get feedback and then make sure you use it.
#6 Be brief
Don’t send out chapters of promotional content.
This usually happens when marketers aren’t usually sure what will appeal to their customer, so they pack the email body full of everything in hopes that one of those things will hit the right note.
And that’s usually because they didn’t properly segment the list.
If you’ve segmented your contacts, then you’ll have a better understand of what would appeal to your readers.
When it comes to writing, the advice is always: write what you want to say, then cut it into half.
Remove all the filler content, keep all the action words, and you’ll have something appealing, effective, and brief.
#7 Make an offer for referral or recommended products
Lastly—what to include in your follow up emails?
Well, this is a great time to do one of two things:
- reward for a referral
- offer for recommended products
With referrals, it’s great because you kill two birds with one stone: you get a potential new customer (the friend that is being referred) and you incentivize your current customer to buy again.
Just make sure the offer’s interesting.
With recommended products, you’re aiming at one thing alone: getting the customer to buy again, quickly.
This works by you offering a great deal (free shipping, % discount, $ off, even a gift) if a customer buys from you again.
Both of these ideas work great.
5 amazing follow up email examples you can steal
Let’s look at some great examples of follow up emails that you can use for your WooCommerce store.
#1 Crate & Barrel
In this great (visually and copy-wise) example, you can see how Crate & Barrel are offering an incentive so that the customer can buy again, soon.
It’s great, to hurry up the purchase, that they’ve added urgency with a coupon that clearly displays the expiration date.
#2 Ulta Beauty
Here, Ulta Beauty is going for some social proof with requests for reviews.
While this is being sent while the customer has received the product and have it on top of their mind, it doesn’t really offer an incentive.
Why should the customer review this product?
If they’d added some sort of incentive (even a free one, like having it featured on their social media), it would give more motivation.
#3 Pottery Barn Kids
Great visuals in this email from Pottery Barn Kids.
They’re going for the recommended products angle in their follow up emails, and it’s a great strategy.
However, they’re missing something: I’m sure you can figure it out…
Why should the customer buy these items?
I understand not wanting to hook your customers on non-stop discounts, but the incentive can be a small, social one, or a big, large gift.
But with the proper motivation, more people will buy (again).
This is an interesting example of innovative follow up emails.
Here, Sephora is focusing on community-building by automatically adding recent purchases to the customer’s profile, called “My Beauty Blog.”
That is one way of social proof, as the customer can then (probably) rate it, share it and provide feedback.
It’s a sort of exclusive social proof, as it extends only to those other Sephora users that have access to the community.
This one is pretty great (I even decided to mark it up).
Here, Zulily is going for the refer-a-friend angle and giving away credits that they can use for their next purchase.
Remember, I said that this hits two areas:
- it gets new customers
- it gets old customers to buy again
Even better, they’ve designed the email so well that there are three—three!—reminders of credits.
At #1 in the graphic, there’s the customer’s credit balance, then #2 (which the customer will probably see first) is the initial offer for credit.
Then lastly, at #2, is the longer explainer of credit—here, $15 for each new customer, but only after that new customer’s order has shipped.
These are some of the great examples of WooCommerce follow up emails you can use in your email marketing strategy to really build up your customer relationships, get repeat purchases, and create brand advocates.

Staplers are an iconic piece of office equipment that has withstood the test time and solidified a unique place in history. The history of the stapler dates back to 18th century France, when King Louis XV sought an easy way to bind papers together. Staplers have come a long way since then, and there are now lots of different staplers to choose from. In this buying guide, we look at the most popular types of modern staplers, their key features, and a couple recommended picks for each one.
It's tempting to just buy the first (and least expensive) stapler you come across, but there are a few thing to consider before making your purchase.
Electric staplers are available with a range of capabilities and special features. We help you choose the stapler that best meets the need of your office. | <urn:uuid:ebcca940-f59b-497c-b39c-a92f803a4183> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.ontimesupplies.com/rpd73157-5050e-heavy-duty-flat-clinch-electric-stapler-50-sheet-capacity-white.html | 2019-07-22T12:53:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.75304 | 540 |
Modelling and Targeting Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer belongs to those forms of cancer that are very aggressive and difficult to treat. Our collaborative research center is studying biological characteristics of this cancer. We believe that only a profound mechanistic understanding of pancreatic cancer and its extreme and unique characteristics will lead to a sustained improvement of the prognosis for affected patients. Based on this clinical orientation we are determined to improve the therapy options for this specific form of cancer. | <urn:uuid:5864ccb3-e838-4f14-b000-c59ac44e40c9> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.sfb1321.med.tum.de/en | 2019-07-22T11:49:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.940349 | 95 |
“I think that I’ve decided that when we get married, I might not even do bridesmaids,” Stassi says.
“I’m fine with that,” Beau says.
“Therefore, no one has to come to the rehearsal,” Stassi explains. “It could just be you, me, and that’s it. Maybe we’d have one. A maid of honor, or a best man. But I don’t know how I would pick between my best friends.”
“Yeah, same, so let’s just not have any,” Beau says.
“And you know what? I think we might be a little too old,” Stassi says. “Well, you are definitely probably a little too old for groomsmen.”
“I’m 39, and look, I told my true age,” Beau says.
“Ancient,” Stassi says. “Ancient AF.”
“You’re 31,” Beau responds.
“I know,” Stassi says, “I feel like I’m getting too old for bridesmaids right now.”
Very old school and traditional.
“I stayed with Brittany, and Jax stayed with Tom, because she does not want to see Jax at all until she’s walking down the isle,” Katie explains.
“Very old school and traditional,” Stassi says.
“I appreciate that,” Katie says. “I wanted us to have the first look before the ceremony, and then I wanted to get all the pictures out of the way before the ceremony, so that way, once you kiss and say, ‘I do,’ you’re ready to party. I didn’t want anything in between. But Brittany wants to keep it old school and not see him and do pictures during cocktail hour, and then have the reception. It’s whatever you want for your own wedding, honestly. But she woke up today in really good spirits and was really happy and really excited.”
“I can’t believe it’s here.”
“Brittany! I’m doing a wedding podcast right now and I want to get your thoughts,” Stassi calls to the bride. “How are you feeling!?”
“I am so excited,” Brittany says. “My voice is like gone — I’m so worried about that because I do not want to mess up my words and my vows.”
“You are so frickin’ happy,” Stassi says.
“I am so happy,” Brittany says. “I’m ready to start getting ready. I can’t believe it’s here.” | <urn:uuid:da7f9627-5f4d-4bcb-b6a7-25d16140186f> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.stassischroeder.com/its-time-for-jax-and-brittanys-wedding/ | 2019-07-22T12:28:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.959139 | 638 |
Discussion in 'General' started by SHAUN I, Jul 22, 2011.
Roy at Clonakilty 2011
Some great pictures of Roy here.
Harps at The Sage, September 2010
The companion to an earlier pic
ShaunI-- Lots of great photos since the last time I checked, Thanks.
Jonnie B-- Anyone notice the "Angelic" quality of the combined Harps?
I think Roy is actually getting younger now that he's "retired." I certainly hope he feels that way. With all his experience and accomplishments, Roy has more potential than ever!
Skinners Bottom (titter ye not) June 1987
Skinners Bottom again
...and three more
Did anyone else out there go to this Festival?
We got three (different) sets from Roy over the weekend and on the last day he got dragged up - reluctantly as I recall - to join a jam session with some of the other performers. He did a duet with Billy Mitchell (on the left), memory's a bit vague here but as I recall he said it was an Elvis song and that it was the first song he ever sang on stage. Haven't a clue what song it was, and I can't remember who the other two on stage are.
I've got a set of colour pictures from here, but they're on slides (the above were photographed from the slides projected onto a screen - very high tech). I'll post them if I ever get round to having them scanned.
The bloke on Roy's immediate left has got a bit of the Cliff Richard about him.
A couple of stills from Made.
Circa - 1965
All images are circa 1965:
Abbey Road - 1970
Roy at Abbey Road Studios, circa 1970.
Roy and David Gilmour:
Here are a couple I took a long time ago;
(Hitchin Folk Club (Sun Hotel) late 80s)
Really like this Maxine Moss portrait of Nick from the Voewood literary/music festival last year... it makes him look positively distinguished :biggrin:
Rainbow Theatre, Valentines Day, 1974
Nice pic of Roy reposted...
Well i thought it looked like him! :>
Here's one from the Bridgewater Hall last week. I've got a few more which I'll post in some form or other.
Some photos from Portugese magazine Musica & Som. Dr.Who scarves were big that year!

Ashley and the team were extremely professional and patient as some totally unforeseeable issues emerged during our move/s this year. We found Ashley to be very reassuring and knowledgeable as we overcome our hurdles.
- Brian Wallace
I was extremely satisfied with the service from start to finish. The valuation was great giving good tips on what work if any needed doing to get property ready. Ashley was extremely knowledgeable in what was popular in the area and got me the best price in the street ever. My house sold in just 1 week for the full asking price but unfortunately the buyer was unable finance the property. This was handled with great care and expertise and was remarketed swiftly. The process of selling a home can be very stressful but I was kept informed constantly with information on viewings and subsequent feedback. Nothing was ever a bother and every question I had was answered promptly. Many thanks to Ashley and the team and I would have no hesitation in recommending yourselves to others in the future.
- Annette Graham:
I was very pleased with the service received from Templeton Robinson and in particular Ashley Black who was professional yet approachable throughout the whole process renewing my faith in Estate Agents which had been somewhat damaged by previous encounters with other firms.

Five men have been charged following a violent brawl at Kings Cross in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The shocking altercation, captured on camera by bystanders, took place at the intersection of Darlinghurst and Bayswater roads shortly after 1.20am.
According to police, it started when a 32-year-old man was allegedly punched in the head and collapsed, unconscious.
Police allege the man was then kicked while on the ground, before the brawl continued onto Darlinghurst Road where a 19-year-old man was punched and fell onto the road.
Disturbing footage of the violence captures a chaotic scene with fists flying in multiple directions.
The footage also reveals the moment one of the men was king-hit from behind and fell unconscious to the ground, where he was then kicked in the head.
Despite the violence, police said none of the men involved suffered significant injuries.
When police from Kings Cross arrived, the groups had separated but remained at the scene.
Following inquiries, police arrested all five men involved and charged each of them with affray.
All five are British nationals from England and Scotland, police said.
A 29-year-old man was refused bail to appear at Parramatta Bail Court on Thursday.
The other men, two 19-year-olds, a 30-year-old and 27-year-old, were granted bail to appear at the Downing Centre Local Court on May 21.
The men were also banned from the Kings Cross and Sydney CBD entertainment precincts.
Inquiries into the incident are continuing. | <urn:uuid:a7c9a6d4-a3a8-4539-a63c-e77239493d92> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.theage.com.au/national/nsw/five-british-men-charged-over-ugly-brawl-in-sydney-s-east-20190425-p51hbv.html | 2019-07-22T13:03:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.981542 | 322 |

Your jaw and skull connect to each other by the temporomandibular joint. When this flexible joint has near-constant pain, or pops often, the muscles and ligaments may be causing difficulty.
Occasional pain in the jaw is not cause for concern. However, if the pain radiates across your face, neck and shoulders and is constant, it may be related to a temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
Common symptoms include:
- Pain in the face, jaw joint, neck and shoulders
- A jaw that gets stuck
- Clicking, popping or grating noises when you open and close your mouth
- Difficulty chewing
- A bite that no longer aligns
Many treatments are conservative: placing heat and ice on the jaw, fabricating mouth guards to prevent grinding or clenching teeth (bruxism), eating soft foods, avoiding chewing gum, and reducing stress. Physical therapy may help. | <urn:uuid:b30972c0-d7d9-4a54-a3db-53df9933a019> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.uthscsa.edu/patient-care/dental/services/tmj | 2019-07-22T12:55:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528013.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722113215-20190722135215-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.926477 | 193 |

- Connecticut Lien Guide
A lien has been described as a form of security interest
in real (or personal) property and includes (1) a charge against or an interest
in property to secure payment of a debt or performance of an obligation; or (2)
a security interest created by agreement; or (3) used to secure a monetary
judgment ordered by a court pursuant to a legal or equitable proceeding; or (4)
an encumbrance or security interest arising by statute or operation of common
law. See Connecticut General Statutes §52-552b (8);
For the most part a lien is a non-possessory form of security, which
can be categorized as consensual or non-consensual. Consensual
liens (i.e. "Purchaser's Lien; UCC-1 Financing Statement) usually arise out of
contractual relationships while non-consensual liens (i.e. -tax liens; judgment
liens or mechanic's liens) arise by statute or common law, which typically give
a creditor the right to impose a lien by the existence of the relationship of
the creditor and debtor. See C.G.S. §52-352b; C.G.S. §47-202; Senior Futures,
LLC v. Silvestri, 04-CBAR-0280 (2004) citing Paton v.
Liens are also perfected or unperfected. Perfection is
generally accomplished by taking certain steps required by law to give third
party creditors notice of lien. This notice establishes a priority right in the
encumbered property with respect to the other "notified" third party creditors.
See C.G.S. §47-258(d); First Constitution Bank v. Harbor Village

Fillers are an excellent option for people bothered by wrinkles, hollow cheeks, and even thin lips. Dr. Scott Holley at West Michigan Plastic Surgery recommends the Restylane family of fillers to any of his patients who are desiring fuller and smoother skin. Restylane will elevate your facial transformation by not only improving your imperfections, but also giving you natural and long-lasting results.
Restylane is a gel-like injectable substance that uses HA (hyaluronic acid, a natural occurring chemical) to restore a youthful firmness and fullness to your face. Once injected, you will notice immediate improvements that will have you looking like a younger version of yourself. With this quick and easy procedure, Restylane is the perfect procedure for those who are looking for a simple– yet effective– way to youthful skin.
During the initial consultation with Dr. Holley, he will discuss the versatility of Restylane with each of his Kalamazoo patients and also talk about the results they hope to see to ensure satisfaction. He will answer any questions, discuss multiple injection sessions, and create a unique plan that will give you the best and most natural results.

Welcome to the Children, Youth, and Families Ministry of FBC!
At FBC, we welcome all children & youth, and their families, to creatively and compassionately experience God’s joy, hope, and love. We do this through listening to our diverse voices, connecting with others, building relationships, and cultivating social justice in order to make a difference in our families, church, community, and world.
The safety of our kids and youth is of the utmost of importance to us. All staff and volunteers working with our children undergo an interview and screening process which includes a national background check. At all times within our ministry, we adhere to the guidelines outlined in the Safe Church Policy that was established at FBC in 2004 and updated in 2017, which ensures that First Baptist Church is a safe place for our children and youth, as well as all who attend and serve here. Our full Safe Church Policy is available on this website, please contact Sean P. Williams if you have any questions or would like to discuss this further.
We have a variety of weekly/regular activities, and special events throughout the year, that we would love for you to be a part of. Here are just a some of the opportunities you have to be a part of our ministry!
Children’s Story: Each Sunday during the 11am worship service, children participate in Children’s Story following The Lord’s Prayer. While designed to be appropriate and applicable to our children, everyone present always gets something from this special time in worship.
Children’s Chapel: After the Children’s Story, children are dismissed to Children’s Chapel, which is a special worship time designed specifically for our children, which includes music, a story, reflection time, a “feast” (snack), prayer, and more.
On first Sundays of every month, children remain in the Sanctuary for the full worship service to participate in communion, activity bags are available if needed.
There is also a space in the Sanctuary specifically designed for children, called the Grace Space, which is a consistent, welcoming spot where children can experience worship through age-appropriate materials and tools that will help keep them engaged in an intergenerational service.
Childcare is available on Sunday mornings for infants through preschool in the nursery.
Youth remain in the Sanctuary for the full worship service every Sunday, and are welcome to sit with family and friends, or join other youth in the balcony. Youth are also invited to help with Children’s Chapel if interested.
Children, youth, and families are invited to help lead the worship services on 1st & 3rd Sunday of each month, please contact us if you are interested in being a part in this way.
YOUTH GROUP: Our Youth Group is part of the McMinnville Youth Collective, which is a collaboration of our church with First Presbyterian Church, McMinnville Cooperative Ministries, and St. Barnabas Episcopal Church. We meet most Sunday nights, from 5:30-7pm, for dinner, games and a program. The location varies from week/month to week/month, so please contact us for info about a specific date. All 6th through 12th grade youth are invited to join us, and friends are welcome anytime.
Y.A.H.O.O. MEXICO MISSION: Each year during Spring break, high school youth, college students, and adults go on a mission trip to Mexico where they work cooperatively with youth & adults from other churches in McMinnville to build houses for families in need.

Thursday, April 30, 2009
My blogging has slowed down to a trickle of late, though I have been able to keep up with Twitter at a mere 140 characters at a time (and if you aren't on Twitter with me, Oprah, President Obama, Ashton Kutcher, John Mayer, and millions of others, why aren't you?). I've also done okay keeping up on my reading.
Perhaps the sluggish blogging was the letdown from reaching 1,000 posts at about the same time as my fifth anniversary of this humble site (which, scarily, is something close to a post every other day for the last half-decade, for loyal readers and poor mathematicians).
Perhaps it was also the long winter, breaking a filling and getting a root canal, breaking the root canal, hosting the Chamber of Commerce at the office, then changing jobs, getting the flu (hopefully it wasn't the damn swine flu), having my wife get the flu (ditto), presenting at a conference, the end of a semester teaching video production, and a few other events I am forgetting as things are a bit blurry around the edges at present.
What else could have kept me from blogging about Watchmen, a cinema event I have waited for for several decades?
Astoundingly, I find myself, while googling away, in the humble minority amongst fanboys in my unstinting praise for this film. Why comic book fans have not marched upon Hollywood and pledged unyielding fealty to Zack Snyder I have no idea.
For a graphic novel long thought to be unfilmable, so much was there, including dialogue and even shots framed right from the comics. Great casting and a reverent rendition. The use of music and the idea to keep it in its 80s time frame were sure-handed. The DVD release of extras, done practically concurrently, was innovative. The opening gave me chills. I think they actually improved the ending. I honestly don't know, unless it was made into an HBO miniseries of something, how it could have been done any better, or by anybody else, or at any other time in the last twenty years or so.
My dream of Watchmen was realized. My dream for the other milestone graphic novel of that era, The Dark Knight, may never come to pass, as too much time has marched by, and with it my fantasy of Clint Eastwood or Michael Douglas playing Batman and Arnold himself playing Superman, and wouldn't that have been a cool movie?
But one little thing about Watchmen scratched at the back of my mind.
At the end of the book (twenty year old SPOILER), asked to tarnish his curious code of honor to prevent the world spinning into Armageddon, the vigilante Rorschach utters the immortal line:
"Joking, of course."
A tagline for every disenfranchised comic book-reading, Star Trek-watching, D&D-playing dude of that era, and one my friends and I would utter when our own curious codes would be challenged or questioned.
"Joking, of course."
A line for the ages, missing from the definitive unfilmable film--which is why I must only give Watchmen a nine and a half.
Who's ready to go see Star Trek?

Every year my pal Tim Shrum, de facto president of the Polonia Brothers Fan Club, bakes a cake based on a classic Polonia Brothers movie. Whether he has other issues or not, I'm not sure. Once again this year Tim picked one of my own scripted projects (after doing "Among Us" before). Strange enough to have a script turned into a movie, but then turned into a cake really takes--well, you understand. Thanks, Tim! | <urn:uuid:fa5f1324-40fe-4e0e-9449-4a58fb1fb426> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://johnoakdalton.blogspot.com/2009/04/ | 2019-07-23T17:49:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.962141 | 799 |
I had trouble getting to sleep last night. As rest eluded me, I lay awake for what seemed like hours, staring at the ceiling with anticipation. It was late when I finally drifted off, and quite early when I awoke. If I was tired, I didn't notice.
As the day began, I felt very much as I did on the morning of our departure, certain that I was setting out to do something exciting, and very possibly something that I would never do again. Outside the quiet of Miwa and Sergei's apartment, I imagined the people of Athens felt the same.
At 11 o'clock, workers the city over would join together and march the streets in a rare and historic general strike. We would be there, not to oppose the austerity measures recently enacted by their government, but to document the occurance.
I have been elated about this opportunity all week. There are few things more compelling to me than people acting with real conviction. Whether the things they do are inane, or of great consequence is unimportant. I simply have a deep appreciation for genuine intension. Today, I imagined the streets would be overflowing with it.
We left around 10AM to make our way to the assembly point with two cameras, two lenses, and a field recorder in tow. It was a crisp, clear day and the streets were filled with music blaring over loudspeakers on nearly every block. There was a distinct air of tension and excitment as we approached the square where the demonstration was meant to begin.
Protest signs were stacked and ready to be distributed, there were megaphones and drums to be carried, and people everywhere were handing out flyers we regrettably couldn't understand. As we walked, snapping photos, I commented several times to Tara how lucky I felt that we were here to witness this.
Our new telephoto zoom was easily my favorite tool of the day. With it, we were able to capture several candid interactions between protesters with ease. Later in the demonstration, it would allow us to document some very violent ones from a safe distance.
Before things really got going, I scaled the side of a building to take some pictures from above the crowds. With my zoom, from such a high vantage point, I felt like I was in a spy movie.
At street level, Tara took a picture of this dog who was dutifully carrying a banner calling for the death of capitalism:
When I came down, it quickly became apparent that there wasn't one organized protest, but rather several marches occuring simultaneously by various groups. So, we took to the streets, walking among the people and trying in vain to make sense of the signs and banners they wielded. So far, all was peaceful.
Throughout the day we passed many other photographers:
Not everyone in the city was marching; there were families out shopping, people carrying bags of groceries and others out for a run. Some people passed as if they didn't even see the march happening, while others stopped and stared for a few moments before continuing on.
Early in the demonstration, a group of masked men rushed in carrying a long piece of canvas. Several of them then roughly grabbed a large banner affixed to a nearby fence and began fiercely ripping it down. One of them yelled not to take photos. When I tried to talk to him about why, he turned his back to me. Since we (and many others) were taking photos of everything, I began to photograph them anyway.
At this point, Tara wanted to leave and I should have listened to her. Just moments later, there was an incoming fist which I barely noticed in my periphery. It landed, glancing off my forehead and nose to connect with my left cheekbone. I wasn't hurt but I was furious and it was very difficult to contain.
As Tara hurried us away, a woman who was presumably with the thugs explained that they didn't want the police seeing their faces. A little futher on, a man ran over to us and apologized for his comrade's behavior, saying "We're not all like that!" I was still pretty angry and found it hard to care, but Tara thanked him.
After our brief altercation with what we later learned was an "urban guerrilla group" of anarchists, we talked a bit about our safety. Tara was understandably shaken up, and I felt foolish for having put myself in harm's way in the first place. Refocused on steering clear of anything even remotely resembling conflict, we continued on down the street where the crowds really started to pick up.
Soon the roads were fully flooded with masses of bodies, organized into mobs by people with megaphones shouting in Greek.
As the day progressed, we began to notice that many of the protesters had gas masks on.
We walked the entire length of the march more than once, from the park near Miwa and Sergei's apartment to Syndagma Square where the Parliament building is. At first, we were surprised by what appeared to be an astoundingly small police presence. We had been warned that the strike was very likely going to be a volotile one, and were expecting to see tons of them.
Everything seemed to be going peaceably, and we couldn't understand a lot of what was happening, so eventually we decided to go home. On our way, we rounded a corner and encountered a line of police in riot gear that stretched on for several city blocks.
As the police marched down the sidewalks, we saw one very antagonistic protester in a gas mask madly waving a stick and yelling, almost asking for a confrontation with his taunting. As best we could tell, the police didn't even acknowledge him.
As the mob continued down the street, things really started going haywire. It seemed like there was an inverse relationship to the age of the protesters and the amount of yelling going on.
Suddenly, we heard a loud crashing sound further down the block and the crowd briefly came to a halt. We were disoriented when a large group of people appeared around the corner of the side street we were on. The crowd, including a few photographers and a newscaster, came rushing right towards us. When we saw what looked like chunks of concrete flying through the air behind them, we backed further down the road and took cover with them.
After a bit, things seemed to settle down so we creeped back to the line of protesters, making sure not to get between the police and the mob. Moments after we reached the intersection, we heard a series of massively loud BOOMS. Before returning to cover, I glanced to the right and saw some familiar-looking masked thugs smashing a building about a block away. I snapped a few quick photos and we again took refuge on the side street.
As we watched from afar, we saw the masked men hurling rocks into shop windows, into the crowd, at the police, and even at an old man! In just moments, the calm atmosphere of the demonstration was gone, instantly replaced by fear, panic, and violence. Watching the scene, it was easy to see how a riot could be started by just one or two angry idiots in a crowd.
As the assault ensued, a group of policemen took cover from the civilians, raising their riot shields to block the incoming chunks of broken wall and sidewalk. Then, they unleashed a volley of tear gas. As the caustic substance filled the air, our nasal passages began to burn painfully and stinging tears involuntarily rushed from our eyes. We were more than a block away from the brunt of it, and still it was incredibly potent.
As we retreated further, we tried to make sense of what we had just witnessed. We were both having a very difficult time reconciling the point of it all. Doing things with conviction is good and well, but not when it brings harm to others. I was saddened by the senselessly violent, irresponsible, and counterproductive actions we'd seen. We both agreed we'd had enough for the day.
As the dust cleared on our walk back, shop owners meekly came out of their buildings to inspect the level of damage they'd have to repair. City workers came up to sweep the mountains of trash, wash paint off walls, clean up shards of broken glass, and fix vandalized buildings. What a waste.
As we talked about what had occured on our way home, our disappointment with the violent anarchist movement in Greece became disgust as we saw the scope of the mess they'd left in their wake. Tara was especially upset about this bookstore window, saying disdainfully, "YEAH, FUCK BOOKSTORES!"
We passed several smouldering trash fires:
A shattered phone-booth:
And one torched car:
Safe and sound at Miwa and Sergei's quiet apartment, we were completely drained, somewhat depressed, and fairly disgusted with humanity in general. | <urn:uuid:5658b669-1ac0-4f22-b013-a42f75fec569> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://journal.goingslowly.com/search/greece/2010/03/athens-general-strike | 2019-07-23T17:44:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.988248 | 1,821 |

THE INDIGENOUS HORSE OF INDIA NEEDS HELP TO SURVIVE!
Legend has it that in the 12th century AD, a group of people that would later be known as the Rathores, were exiled from their homeland. Sheoji, the man who would be the father of the Rathores, rode out proudly with a group of faithful pilgrims to find a new home. Their will was of iron, and their horses were strong and fast. Together, they would settle in a region called the Marwar, in Rajasthan, to start a new life.
The horses that bore them were integral to their survival and represented the pride and strength of the people. Over many years, they grew into the regal Marwari breed, and their beauty and power was known to all, represented by their distinctive inwardly pointed ears. When a Marwari horse moved through the city streets, the commoners would bow deeply before it. Yet while their heads faced the ground, their eyes would strain upward to get a glimpse of the almost mythical creature. For hundreds of years, this legendary horse would reign as the symbol of Marwari aristocracy.
In the early 1800s, the British colonials came to India to stake their claim. They brought with them an English way of life and their soldiers rode tall Thoroughbreds. Naturally, the English saw their own horses as the height of equine breeding, and many Marwari horses were killed to stop interbreeding.
After the Second World War, the colonials withdrew from India, leaving behind a scarred country. The aftermath of this continued to hasten the downfall of the Marwari, as Indian noblemen were stripped of their land and assets and even more horses suffered due to their inability to properly care for them. The Marwari horse was all but forgotten and over the course of 150 years, the breed was pushed to the very brink of extinction.
In the late 20th century, one of the remaining Indian lords, a man named Raghuvendra “Bonnie” Singh Dundlod and an American horsewoman named Francesca Kelly, set their minds to saving the breed. Francesca had attended one of Bonnie’s horse‐riding tours of the region and had been so moved by Bonnie and the Marwari horse’s story that she decided to dedicate her life to the conservation of the breed. Within a few years, they founded the Indigenous Horse Society of India, an international society for the preservation and revitalisation of the breed. Finding these friends, the Marwari horse began to thrive again.
Although the Marwari Horse has faced many challenges and was once near extinction, they have struggled for a foothold. However, the challenges they currently face could tip the precarious balance irretrievably.
The Indian Government has instigated an export ban on the Marwari and breeders, many of whom live in hard circumstances themselves, have excess stock. Good feed is not only expensive but is also very hard to find. They also face issues ranging from drought to little to no professional veterinary care and cruel and inhumane horse training practices, much like the dancing bears, due to lack of education and more modern horse equipment.
“Bonnie” Singh Dundlod and Francesca Kelly contacted Frazzica Productions to make a documentary on the plight of these amazing indigenous horses, which they have done with their own money because they believe in the cause. Frazzica Productions hope to launch this documentary at the Sundance Film Festival in August and promote it world -wide to raise awareness and funds to help Indian support the existing horses and also provide education and equipment to ensure a kinder way of training.
These horses need help, so please give any support you can to the Indigenous Horse Society of India. Visit Frazzica Productions website www.marwarimovie.com for more information.

Marwari – War Horse of the Maharaja Documentary - Coming Soon
This Documentary Film featuring the Indigenous Horse of India, is the story of Bonnie, Kr. Raghuvendra Singh Dundlod (Rajasthan, India) and Francesca Kelly (Martha's Vineyard, USA) and their lifetime mission to raise worldwide awareness of the issues facing the Marwari horses of India.
Frazzica Productions has begun post production of the Marwari horse documentary starring Kr. Raghuvendra Singh Dundlod (Bonnie) and Francesca Kelly. This amazing story centres on the lifetime work of Bonnie and Francesca to address the plight of the Marwari horses in India, and their bid to change antiquated government laws that forbid the export of Marwari horses abroad.
Bonnie and Francesca, who are considered experts on the Marwari Horse and are highly respected for their work, have protected bloodlines and founded The Indigenous Horse Society of India. At their own personal expense, they travel the world raising awareness of the difficulties facing these beautiful animals and attempting to raise funds to help them.
The Marwari horses have faced many challenges and were once, near extinction. However, the challenges they currently face could tip the precarious balance irretrievably. There is an export ban in place and breeders have excess stock, good feed is expensive and hard to find. There are also cruel and inhumane horse training practices, much like the dancing bears, and many other issues ranging from drought to little to no professional veterinary care. There are equine “practitioners” but no vets in the entire state of Rajasthan, which is where the Marwari’s come from. And now, the only equine research center in the state of Rajasthan that provided at least some small help is at risk of closing down.
In this film we take you to the Hanumangarh Horse Fair in the state of Rajasthan where the finest Marwari horse breeders gather to discuss current issues and compete for various honors. Well-trained Marwari horses can fetch in excess of $25,000 USD at these fairs. The horses are taught to dance and they become highly valuable to their owners by performing at wedding ceremonies and prestigious events – often their only income. In war times these moves where taught to avoid elephant strikes and to protect their riders. Unfortunately horses are sometimes trained cruelly instead of the correct way, just to make a quick dollar.
Some of the scenes in this documentary will be disturbing to watch; but all of the trainers, owners, and breeders have one thing in common. They need help. Help in the form of education to show them a better way to treat the horses so they do not die painfully from illness; help in the form of training to show them more humane techniques to teach their horses to dance; and help from the outside world so they can obtain the kinder horse equipment being used by the western world.
Then, in the midst of all the chaos, there is a glimmer of light and gentle compassion, when Bonnie and Francesca introduce filmmakers to Rafik. Francesca refers to Rafik as India’s finest horse trainer and he will leave a lasting impression on you. Rafik is an amazing family man, a kind, gifted horse trainer and a true Godsend for the Marwari horse.
Throughout this remarkable documentary, filmmakers guide the audience through a colorful explosion of senses and emotions. This “no holds barred” story of two dedicated horse advocates who are determined to return the Marwari Horse to its revered place in India’s culture, is visually stunning, definitely confronting, and totally unforgettable.
The Marwari horses recently performed at the Diamond Jubilee Pageant at Windsor castle in front of Her Majesty the Queen of England, on the 13 February 2012. A contingent of over 30 dancers, horsemen and performers were lead by Bonnie and Francesca. Sadly, none of the Marwari horses featured in England where from India.
ABOUT BONNIE & FRANCESCA
Bonnie is known worldwide as a leading authority on Marwari Horses. He is the second son of Cavalry Officer, Thakur Ragihuvir Singh, of the house of Dundlod. With assistance from Francesca, Bonnie founded the Marwari Bloodlines register and the Indigenous Horse Society of India promoting solid breed standards and practices. He pioneered the first horse safaris of Shekhawati region of Rajasthan to provide a secondary living option for the horses and runs horse-riding safaris for travelers from his heritage hotel/home, Dundlod Fort. Bonnie is an accomplished horseman, polo player and breeder. He has taken thousands of tourists on his horse riding safaris through the state of Rajasthan, which provides employment for many locals. Bonnie has a deep connection with his home and also maintains a free school to help educate the children of the region.
Throughout northern India Francesca Kelly is known as Ghoravalli - she who rides horses. Francesca founded the group called Marwari bloodlines with the goal of promoting and preserving the Marwari horse around the world. Francesca has worked tirelessly with Bonnie to develop the breed standards. Prior to the government ban, she exported a few Marwari horses out of India to a safe and happy home in the USA and the first Marwari was exported to Europe in 2006. Francesca donated one of her precious stallions to the French Living Museum of the Horse to promote the cause and has also published a stunning pictorial book titled “Marwari”.
ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS:
Joe and Tatiana Frazzica of Frazzica Productions live in Melbourne Australia and they pioneered the first horse lifestyle TV show in Australia in 2003. Having worked in media filming horses and motorsports around the world, they visited Dundlod on invitation from Bonnie in October 2004. Joe and Tatiana were the first Australians to visit Dundlod Fort and to ride the Marwari horses. They returned to Australia and aired the film they had shot during their visit, on their television show Horse Rush TV, which aired in Australia and the USA. The footage of Bonnie’s dancing Marwari, shot at Dundlod Fort, is still a hit on You Tube to this day.
Tat and Joe became so enamoured of the Marwari horse and concerned about its plight, that In February 2012 they assembled an Australian/American crew to head to Rajasthan and film the story of Bonnie and Francesca’s lifetime work. Using the latest large sensor RED EPIC camera and taking acclaimed NYC Director of Photography, Ben Wolf, along to ensure that the scenes and colour were captured faithfully, Tatiana and Joe, along with their amazing crew, have produced some truly magnificent footage that will be seen in the future as a masterpiece of storytelling and film work.
