I remember the first time I saw it in elementary school. It was a Friday and all the second-grade classes gathered in the projector room. There was something great about watching it in the darkness and the small distortion of the audio coming from the projector, which you somewhat get watching this online version.
My childhood memory told me most of the film was about the chase between the Headless Horseman and Ichabod Crane, but in reality, it’s maybe just a fifth of the film.
Icabod is a cool name.
Bing Crosby narrated the flick, it was the only collaboration he had with Disney.
There are huge similarities between Brom Bones and Gaston from Beauty and the Beast.
My “innocence” as a child never helped me realize that the Headless Horseman was actually Brom Bones.
DaughterGeeding has an entrepreneur spirit. She keeps coming up with all sorts of business ideas and is enthusiastic about carrying them out, and it’s a little heartbreaking telling her how some of them simply aren’t feasible. To help with that, I spoke to her briefly about a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunity, threats) analysis and how she should go through some sort of similar thought process to see how feasible her idea is before making flyers and going door to door. Later in the day, the family drove to the massive Nebraska Furniture Mart building and she blurted out, “Dad, Rooms To Go is across the street from Nebraska Furniture Mark, that has to be a big threat to them.” We then conversed about how it could possibly fit the other categories as well. It’s amazing how things like that will stick with her but she will still forget to flush the toilet.
The game has a new world record of 4:56.528. Speedrunner Darbian reached it late last Friday night on his 27,474th attempt. It’s a big milestone in an important game, but it also signals the possible beginning of the end for the race to beat Super Mario Bros. as quickly as possible.
A long time ago when I first started the book I mentioned how JFK gifted a Tiffany silver plated calendar to the key advisors of the Cuban Missile Crisis with those 13-days standing out in bold, and how the company decided not to charge him. I couldn’t find a picture of the calendar until now.
For his inauguration, George W. Bush wore the same cufflinks his father wore for his inauguration.
As part-owner of the Texas Rangers he once said, “I want the folks to see me sitting in the same kind of seat they sit in, eating the same popcorn, peeing in the urinal.”
That time he was a little too busy to talk to his father, the acting President of the United States (this isn’t a dig, it just shows how comfortable of a relationship they have)
When Barack Obama was inaugurated and George and Laura were flying home, they watched a special thirty-minute video of staff thanking them and wishing them well in retirement. Bill Clinton also contributed to the video. | <urn:uuid:3d0915c9-a6a5-4e90-ba20-1a8455ac9357> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.bagofnothing.com/2017/10/bag-of-randomness-for-tuesday-october-24-2017/ | 2019-07-23T17:29:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.974559 | 654 |
Mr. Hasem Mollah is the father of sponsored child Mohammad Karim, who is now 24. As a rickshaw puller he had been the main wage-earner for his family of four. But as he got older, his health began to deteriorate and over the last year he could no longer work on a full time basis. In fact the effects of age and the onset of heart disease meant he needed to find a radically new way of earning money. So he sought help from the Sustainable Livelihood Development project to set up a small grocery shop and was successful in securing US$385 (£315) to set up his grocery business. Today, Hasem manages to support his family through a new business, which doesn’t now pose a risk to his own health. | <urn:uuid:d19e7553-2e97-4462-84c9-b03adef3447f> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.childrens-hope.org/journal/2016/6/10/today-hasem-manages-to-support-his-family-through-a-new-business-which-doesnt-now-pose-a-risk-to-his-own-health | 2019-07-23T18:31:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.987467 | 160 |

Finding the best USB microphone for podcasting does not have to be hard. In fact, there are so many top-rated USB microphones on the market today with stellar reviews. These units are easier to use than XLR microphones that require mixers or USB interfaces. In fact, you basically plug them into your computer for easy and faster podcasting. Still, you need to find the right USB mic for optimal value, performance and delivery. Here are some of the top sellers in the industry today.
The Blue Yeti
The Blue Yeti is considered one of the top USB mics for under $200. In fact, this popular microphone is priced at around $120. This is perfect for first-time or beginner podcasters, as well as seasoned broadcasters. With high-end sound quality and user-friendly features, this USB mic offers convenient plug-in-use for faster connections when you need it the most. Here are some more features of this highly-recommended USB microphone:
• The Yeti allows single person users in cardioids settings to switch between several options.
• Bidirectional (front & back) features.
• Omni-directional (all directions) with noise and hysteresis reduction.
• Stereo — left and right.
The Yeti’s bidirectional feature is great for in-person reviews. However, we recommend omn-directional for conference calls and group chats. With so much flexibility built into this USB mic, it remains one of the best units for novices and experienced podcasters. The unit even has a no delay 0 latency headphone monitoring jack. This allows you to gain control, while controlling the mute button with visible indicators.
Rode NT USB
Rode NT USB is also considered one of the top USB microphones available. In fact, Rode specializes in great podcasting equipment and accessories. With the Rode NT USB, you get a convenient mix control and zero-latency headphone monitoring jack. There is also a pop filter, which is attachable to the base. This can be positioned at a convenient distance, while the storage pouch is highly mobile and the desk stand as well.
The Rode NT USB is currently priced at around $169.00 for a new unit. You may be able to find refurbished or pre-owned USB mics for less across Amazon. This model even features a camera connection kit that is fully compatible with Apple iPads.
We also have to include the popular Rode Podcaster on this list. While a new edition to podcasting, this dynamic USB microphone features a cardioids polar pattern. There is also a headphone jack with volume control, as well as a green light indicator to ensure the unit is fully plugged in and operating. With latency-free monitoring, the headphone jack is particularly convenient for new and seasoned podcasters.
The Rode Podcaster is similar to the Yeti in many ways. However, it is surely heavier than the Yeti — so we recommend a high-quality mic stand or boom arm for optimal support and comfort. These components do not come with the Podcaster and must be purchased separately. This USB mic is currently priced at $221.00 on Amazon, but it’s truly worth every penny. | <urn:uuid:8401acda-5708-48b5-b04d-ce26c3dfdd64> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.mindweb.us/best-usb-microphone-for-podcasting-options/ | 2019-07-23T18:24:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.94562 | 666 |

JOHN, by the grace of God King of England, Lord of Ireland, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, and Count of Anjou, to his archbishops, bishops, abbots, earls, barons, justices, foresters, sheriffs, stewards, servants, and to all his officials and loyal subjects, Greeting.
KNOW THAT BEFORE GOD, for the health of our soul and those of our ancestors and heirs, to the honour of God, the exaltation of the holy Church, and the better ordering of our kingdom, at the advice of our reverend fathers Stephen, archbishop of Canterbury, primate of all England, and cardinal of the holy Roman Church, Henry archbishop of Dublin, William bishop of London, Peter bishop of Winchester, Jocelin bishop of Bath and Glastonbury, Hugh bishop of Lincoln, Walter Bishop of Worcester, William bishop of Coventry, Benedict bishop of Rochester, Master Pandulf subdeacon and member of the papal household, Brother Aymeric master of the knighthood of the Temple in England, William Marshal earl of Pembroke, William earl of Salisbury, William earl of Warren, William earl of Arundel, Alan de Galloway constable of Scotland, Warin Fitz Gerald, Peter Fitz Herbert, Hubert de Burgh seneschal of Poitou, Hugh de Neville, Matthew Fitz Herbert, Thomas Basset, Alan Basset, Philip Daubeny, Robert de Roppeley, John Marshal, John Fitz Hugh, and other loyal subjects:
+ (1) FIRST, THAT WE HAVE GRANTED TO GOD, and by this present charter have confirmed for us and our heirs in perpetuity, that the English Church shall be free, and shall have its rights undiminished, and its liberties unimpaired. That we wish this so to be observed, appears from the fact that of our own free will, before the outbreak of the present dispute between us and our barons, we granted and confirmed by charter the freedom of the Church´s elections - a right reckoned to be of the greatest necessity and importance to it - and caused this to be confirmed by Pope Innocent III. This freedom we shall observe ourselves, and desire to be observed in good faith by our heirs in perpetuity.
TO ALL FREE MEN OF OUR KINGDOM we have also granted, for us and our heirs for ever, all the liberties written out below, to have and to keep for them and their heirs, of us and our heirs:
(2) If any earl, baron, or other person that holds lands directly of the Crown, for military service, shall die, and at his death his heir shall be of full age and owe a `relief´, the heir shall have his inheritance on payment of the ancient scale of `relief´. That is to say, the heir or heirs of an earl shall pay £100 for the entire earl´s barony, the heir or heirs of a knight l00s. at most for the entire knight´s `fee´, and any man that owes less shall pay less, in accordance with the ancient usage of `fees´
(3) But if the heir of such a person is under age and a ward, when he comes of age he shall have his inheritance without `relief´ or fine.
(4) The guardian of the land of an heir who is under age shall take from it only reasonable revenues, customary dues, and feudal services. He shall do this without destruction or damage to men or property. If we have given the guardianship of the land to a sheriff, or to any person answerable to us for the revenues, and he commits destruction or damage, we will exact compensation from him, and the land shall be entrusted to two worthy and prudent men of the same `fee´, who shall be answerable to us for the revenues, or to the person to whom we have assigned them. If we have given or sold to anyone the guardianship of such land, and he causes destruction or damage, he shall lose the guardianship of it, and it shall be handed over to two worthy and prudent men of the same `fee´, who shall be similarly answerable to us.
(5) For so long as a guardian has guardianship of such land, he shall maintain the houses, parks, fish preserves, ponds, mills, and everything else pertaining to it, from the revenues of the land itself. When the heir comes of age, he shall restore the whole land to him, stocked with plough teams and such implements of husbandry as the season demands and the revenues from the land can reasonably bear.
(6) Heirs may be given in marriage, but not to someone of lower social standing. Before a marriage takes place, it shall be´ made known to the heir´s next-of-kin.
(7) At her husband´s death, a widow may have her marriage portion and inheritance at once and without trouble. She shall pay nothing for her dower, marriage portion, or any inheritance that she and her husband held jointly on the day of his death. She may remain in her husband´s house for forty days after his death, and within this period her dower shall be assigned to her.
(8) No widow shall be compelled to marry, so long as she wishes to remain without a husband. But she must give security that she will not marry without royal consent, if she holds her lands of the Crown, or without the consent of whatever other lord she may hold them of.
(9) Neither we nor our officials will seize any land or rent in payment of a debt, so long as the debtor has movable goods sufficient to discharge the debt. A debtor´s sureties shall not be distrained upon so long as the debtor himself can discharge his debt. If, for lack of means, the debtor is unable to discharge his debt, his sureties shall be answerable for it. If they so desire, they may have the debtor´s lands and rents until they have received satisfaction for the debt that they paid for him, unless the debtor can show that he has settled his obligations to them.
* (10) If anyone who has borrowed a sum of money from Jews dies before the debt has been repaid, his heir shall pay no interest on the debt for so long as he remains under age, irrespective of whom he holds his lands. If such a debt falls into the hands of the Crown, it will take nothing except the principal sum specified in the bond.
* (11) If a man dies owing money to Jews, his wife may have her dower and pay nothing towards the debt from it. If he leaves children that are under age, their needs may also be provided for on a scale appropriate to the size of his holding of lands. The debt is to be paid out of the residue, reserving the service due to his feudal lords. Debts owed to persons other than Jews are to be dealt with similarly.
* (12) No `scutage´ or `aid´ may be levied in our kingdom without its general consent, unless it is for the ransom of our person, to make our eldest son a knight, and (once) to marry our eldest daughter. For these purposes ouly a reasonable `aid´ may be levied. `Aids´ from the city of London are to be treated similarly.
+ (13) The city of London shall enjoy all its ancient liberties and free customs, both by land and by water. We also will and grant that all other cities, boroughs, towns, and ports shall enjoy all their liberties and free customs.
* (14) To obtain the general consent of the realm for the assessment of an `aid´ - except in the three cases specified above - or a `scutage´, we will cause the archbishops, bishops, abbots, earls, and greater barons to be summoned individually by letter. To those who hold lands directly of us we will cause a general summons to be issued, through the sheriffs and other officials, to come together on a fixed day (of which at least forty days notice shall be given) and at a fixed place. In all letters of summons, the cause of the summons will be stated. When a summons has been issued, the business appointed for the day shall go forward in accordance with the resolution of those present, even if not all those who were summoned have appeared.
* (15) In future we will allow no one to levy an `aid´ from his free men, except to ransom his person, to make his eldest son a knight, and (once) to marry his eldest daughter. For these purposes only a reasonable `aid´ may be levied.
(16) No man shall be forced to perform more service for a knight´s `fee´, or other free holding of land, than is due from it.
(17) Ordinary lawsuits shall not follow the royal court around, but shall be held in a fixed place.
(18) Inquests of novel disseisin, mort d´ancestor, and darrein presentment shall be taken only in their proper county court. We ourselves, or in our absence abroad our chief justice, will send two justices to each county four times a year, and these justices, with four knights of the county elected by the county itself, shall hold the assizes in the county court, on the day and in the place where the court meets.
(19) If any assizes cannot be taken on the day of the county court, as many knights and freeholders shall afterwards remain behind, of those who have attended the court, as will suffice for the administration of justice, having regard to the volume of business to be done.
(20) For a trivial offence, a free man shall be fined only in proportion to the degree of his offence, and for a serious offence correspondingly, but not so heavily as to deprive him of his livelihood. In the same way, a merchant shall be spared his merchandise, and a husbandman the implements of his husbandry, if they fall upon the mercy of a royal court. None of these fines shall be imposed except by the assessment on oath of reputable men of the neighbourhood.
(21) Earls and barons shall be fined only by their equals, and in proportion to the gravity of their offence.
(22) A fine imposed upon the lay property of a clerk in holy orders shall be assessed upon the same principles, without reference to the value of his ecclesiastical benefice.
(23) No town or person shall be forced to build bridges over rivers except those with an ancient obligation to do so.
(24) No sheriff, constable, coroners, or other royal officials are to hold lawsuits that should be held by the royal justices.
* (25) Every county, hundred, wapentake, and tithing shall remain at its ancient rent, without increase, except the royal demesne manors.
(26) If at the death of a man who holds a lay `fee´ of the Crown, a sheriff or royal official produces royal letters patent of summons for a debt due to the Crown, it shall be lawful for them to seize and list movable goods found in the lay `fee´ of the dead man to the value of the debt, as assessed by worthy men. Nothing shall be removed until the whole debt is paid, when the residue shall be given over to the executors to carry out the dead man s will. If no debt is due to the Crown, all the movable goods shall be regarded as the property of the dead man, except the reasonable shares of his wife and children.
* (27) If a free man dies intestate, his movable goods are to be distributed by his next-of-kin and friends, under the supervision of the Church. The rights of his debtors are to be preserved.
(28) No constable or other royal official shall take corn or other movable goods from any man without immediate payment, unless the seller voluntarily offers postponement of this.
(29) No constable may compel a knight to pay money for castle-guard if the knight is willing to undertake the guard in person, or with reasonable excuse to supply some other fit man to do it. A knight taken or sent on military service shall be excused from castle-guard for the period of this servlce.
(30) No sheriff, royal official, or other person shall take horses or carts for transport from any free man, without his consent.
(31) Neither we nor any royal official will take wood for our castle, or for any other purpose, without the consent of the owner.
(32) We will not keep the lands of people convicted of felony in our hand for longer than a year and a day, after which they shall be returned to the lords of the `fees´ concerned.
(33) All fish-weirs shall be removed from the Thames, the Medway, and throughout the whole of England, except on the sea coast.
(34) The writ called precipe shall not in future be issued to anyone in respect of any holding of land, if a free man could thereby be deprived of the right of trial in his own lord´s court.
(35) There shall be standard measures of wine, ale, and corn (the London quarter), throughout the kingdom. There shall also be a standard width of dyed cloth, russett, and haberject, namely two ells within the selvedges. Weights are to be standardised similarly.
(36) In future nothing shall be paid or accepted for the issue of a writ of inquisition of life or limbs. It shall be given gratis, and not refused.
(37) If a man holds land of the Crown by `fee-farm´, `socage´, or `burgage´, and also holds land of someone else for knight´s service, we will not have guardianship of his heir, nor of the land that belongs to the other person´s `fee´, by virtue of the `fee-farm´, `socage´, or `burgage´, unless the `fee-farm´ owes knight´s service. We will not have the guardianship of a man´s heir, or of land that he holds of someone else, by reason of any small property that he may hold of the Crown for a service of knives, arrows, or the like.
(38) In future no official shall place a man on trial upon his own unsupported statement, without producing credible witnesses to the truth of it.
+ (39) No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land.
+ (40) To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice.
(41) All merchants may enter or leave England unharmed and without fear, and may stay or travel within it, by land or water, for purposes of trade, free from all illegal exactions, in accordance with ancient and lawful customs. This, however, does not apply in time of war to merchants from a country that is at war with us. Any such merchants found in our country at the outbreak of war shall be detained without injury to their persons or property, until we or our chief justice have discovered how our own merchants are being treated in the country at war with us. If our own merchants are safe they shall be safe too.
* (42) In future it shall be lawful for any man to leave and return to our kingdom unharmed and without fear, by land or water, preserving his allegiance to us, except in time of war, for some short period, for the common benefit of the realm. People that have been imprisoned or outlawed in accordance with the law of the land, people from a country that is at war with us, and merchants - who shall be dealt with as stated above - are excepted from this provision.
(43) If a man holds lands of any `escheat´ such as the `honour´ of Wallingford, Nottingham, Boulogne, Lancaster, or of other `escheats´ in our hand that are baronies, at his death his heir shall give us only the `relief´ and service that he would have made to the baron, had the barony been in the baron´s hand. We will hold the `escheat´ in the same manner as the baron held it.
(44) People who live outside the forest need not in future appear before the royal justices of the forest in answer to general summonses, unless they are actually involved in proceedings or are sureties for someone who has been seized for a forest offence.
* (45) We will appoint as justices, constables, sheriffs, or other officials, only men that know the law of the realm and are minded to keep it well.
(46) All barons who have founded abbeys, and have charters of English kings or ancient tenure as evidence of this, may have guardianship of them when there is no abbot, as is their due.
(47) All forests that have been created in our reign shall at once be disafforested. River-banks that have been enclosed in our reign shall be treated similarly.
* (48) All evil customs relating to forests and warrens, foresters, warreners, sheriffs and their servants, or river-banks and their wardens, are at once to be investigated in every county by twelve sworn knights of the county, and within forty days of their enquiry the evil customs are to be abolished completely and irrevocably. But we, or our chief justice if we are not in England, are first to be informed.
* (49) We will at once return all hostages and charters delivered up to us by Englishmen as security for peace or for loyal service.
* (50) We will remove completely from their offices the kinsmen of Gerard de Athée, and in future they shall hold no offices in England. The people in question are Engelard de Cigogné´, Peter, Guy, and Andrew de Chanceaux, Guy de Cigogné, Geoffrey de Martigny and his brothers, Philip Marc and his brothers, with Geoffrey his nephew, and all their followers.
* (51) As soon as peace is restored, we will remove from the kingdom all the foreign knights, bowmen, their attendants, and the mercenaries that have come to it, to its harm, with horses and arms.
* (52) To any man whom we have deprived or dispossessed of lands, castles, liberties, or rights, without the lawful judgement of his equals, we will at once restore these. In cases of dispute the matter shall be resolved by the judgement of the twenty-five barons referred to below in the clause for securing the peace (§ 61). In cases, however, where a man was deprived or dispossessed of something without the lawful judgement of his equals by our father King Henry or our brother King Richard, and it remains in our hands or is held by others under our warranty, we shall have respite for the period commonly allowed to Crusaders, unless a lawsuit had been begun, or an enquiry had been made at our order, before we took the Cross as a Crusader. On our return from the Crusade, or if we abandon it, we will at once render justice in full.
* (53) We shall have similar respite in rendering justice in connexion with forests that are to be disafforested, or to remain forests, when these were first a-orested by our father Henry or our brother Richard; with the guardianship of lands in another person´s `fee´, when we have hitherto had this by virtue of a `fee´ held of us for knight´s service by a third party; and with abbeys founded in another person´s `fee´, in which the lord of the `fee´ claims to own a right. On our return from the Crusade, or if we abandon it, we will at once do full justice to complaints about these matters.
(54) No one shall be arrested or imprisoned on the appeal of a woman for the death of any person except her husband.
* (55) All fines that have been given to us unjustiy and against the law of the land, and all fines that we have exacted unjustly, shall be entirely remitted or the matter decided by a majority judgement of the twenty-five barons referred to below in the clause for securing the peace (§ 61) together with Stephen, archbishop of Canterbury, if he can be present, and such others as he wishes to bring with him. If the archbishop cannot be present, proceedings shall continue without him, provided that if any of the twenty-five barons has been involved in a similar suit himself, his judgement shall be set aside, and someone else chosen and sworn in his place, as a substitute for the single occasion, by the rest of the twenty-five.
(56) If we have deprived or dispossessed any Welshmen of lands, liberties, or anything else in England or in Wales, without the lawful judgement of their equals, these are at once to be returned to them. A dispute on this point shall be determined in the Marches by the judgement of equals. English law shall apply to holdings of land in England, Welsh law to those in Wales, and the law of the Marches to those in the Marches. The Welsh shall treat us and ours in the same way.
* (57) In cases where a Welshman was deprived or dispossessed of anything, without the lawful judgement of his equals, by our father King Henry or our brother King Richard, and it remains in our hands or is held by others under our warranty, we shall have respite for the period commonly allowed to Crusaders, unless a lawsuit had been begun, or an enquiry had been made at our order, before we took the Cross as a Crusader. But on our return from the Crusade, or if we abandon it, we will at once do full justice according to the laws of Wales and the said regions.
* (58) We will at once return the son of Llywelyn, all Welsh hostages, and the charters delivered to us as security for the peace.
* (59) With regard to the return of the sisters and hostages of Alexander, king of Scotland, his liberties and his rights, we will treat him in the same way as our other barons of England, unless it appears from the charters that we hold from his father William, formerly king of Scotland, that he should be treated otherwise. This matter shall be resolved by the judgement of his equals in our court.
(60) All these customs and liberties that we have granted shall be observed in our kingdom in so far as concerns our own relations with our subjects. Let all men of our kingdom, whether clergy or laymen, observe them similarly in their relations with their own men.
* (61) SINCE WE HAVE GRANTED ALL THESE THINGS for God, for the better ordering of our kingdom, and to allay the discord that has arisen between us and our barons, and since we desire that they shall be enjoyed in their entirety, with lasting strength, for ever, we give and grant to the barons the following security:
The barons shall elect twenty-five of their number to keep, and cause to be observed with all their might, the peace and liberties granted and confirmed to them by this charter.
If we, our chief justice, our officials, or any of our servants offend in any respect against any man, or transgress any of the articles of the peace or of this security, and the offence is made known to four of the said twenty-five barons, they shall come to us - or in our absence from the kingdom to the chief justice - to declare it and claim immediate redress. If we, or in our absence abroad the chiefjustice, make no redress within forty days, reckoning from the day on which the offence was declared to us or to him, the four barons shall refer the matter to the rest of the twenty-five barons, who may distrain upon and assail us in every way possible, with the support of the whole community of the land, by seizing our castles, lands, possessions, or anything else saving only our own person and those of the queen and our children, until they have secured such redress as they have determined upon. Having secured the redress, they may then resume their normal obedience to us.
Any man who so desires may take an oath to obey the commands of the twenty-five barons for the achievement of these ends, and to join with them in assailing us to the utmost of his power. We give public and free permission to take this oath to any man who so desires, and at no time will we prohibit any man from taking it. Indeed, we will compel any of our subjects who are unwilling to take it to swear it at our command.
If-one of the twenty-five barons dies or leaves the country, or is prevented in any other way from discharging his duties, the rest of them shall choose another baron in his place, at their discretion, who shall be duly sworn in as they were.
In the event of disagreement among the twenty-five barons on any matter referred to them for decision, the verdict of the majority present shall have the same validity as a unanimous verdict of the whole twenty-five, whether these were all present or some of those summoned were unwilling or unable to appear.
The twenty-five barons shall swear to obey all the above articles faithfully, and shall cause them to be obeyed by others to the best of their power.
We will not seek to procure from anyone, either by our own efforts or those of a third party, anything by which any part of these concessions or liberties might be revoked or diminished. Should such a thing be procured, it shall be null and void and we will at no time make use of it, either ourselves or through a third party.
* (62) We have remitted and pardoned fully to all men any ill-will, hurt, or grudges that have arisen between us and our subjects, whether clergy or laymen, since the beginning of the dispute. We have in addition remitted fully, and for our own part have also pardoned, to all clergy and laymen any offences committed as a result of the said dispute between Easter in the sixteenth year of our reign (i.e. 1215) and the restoration of peace.
In addition we have caused letters patent to be made for the barons, bearing witness to this security and to the concessions set out above, over the seals of Stephen archbishop of Canterbury, Henry archbishop of Dublin, the other bishops named above, and Master Pandulf.
* (63) IT IS ACCORDINGLY OUR WISH AND COMMAND that the English Church shall be free, and that men in our kingdom shall have and keep all these liberties, rights, and concessions, well and peaceably in their fulness and entirety for them and their heirs, of us and our heirs, in all things and all places for ever.
Both we and the barons have sworn that all this shall be observed in good faith and without deceit. Witness the abovementioned people and many others.

Runnymede (GB), 15 june 1215. Abuses by King John caused a revolt by nobles who compelled him to execute this recognition of rights for both noblemen and ordinary Englishmen. It established the principle that no one, including the king or a lawmaker, is above the law.

2-The Petition of Right, 1628
The Petition exhibited to his Majesty by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, concerning divers Rights and Liberties of the Subjects, with the King´s Majesty´s royal answer thereunto in full Parliament.
To the King´s Most Excellent Majesty,
Humbly show unto our Sovereign Lord the King, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons in Parliament assembles, that whereas it is declared and enacted by a statute made in the time of the reign of King Edward I, commonly called Stratutum de Tellagio non Concedendo, that no tallage or aid shall be laid or levied by the king or his heirs in this realm, without the good will and assent of the archbishops, bishops, earls, barons, knights, burgesses, and other the freemen of the commonalty of this realm; and by authority of parliament holden in the five-and-twentieth year of the reign of King Edward III, it is declared and enacted, that from thenceforth no person should be compelled to make any loans to the king against his will, because such loans were against reason and the franchise of the land; and by other laws of this realm it is provided, that none should be charged by any charge or imposition called a benevolence, nor by such like charge; by which statutes before mentioned, and other the good laws and statutes of this realm, your subjects have inherited this freedom, that they should not be compelled to contribute to any tax, tallage, aid, or other like charge not set by common consent, in parliament.
II. Yet nevertheless of late divers commissions directed to sundry commissioners in several counties, with instructions, have issued; by means whereof your people have been in divers places assembled, and required to lend certain sums of money unto your Majesty, and many of them, upon their refusal so to do, have had an oath administered unto them not warrantable by the laws or statutes of this realm, and have been constrained to become bound and make appearance and give utterance before your Privy Council and in other places, and others of them have been therefore imprisoned, confined, and sundry other ways molested and disquieted; and divers other charges have been laid and levied upon your people in several counties by lord lieutenants, deputy lieutenants, commissioners for musters, justices of peace and others, by command or direction from your Majesty, or your Privy Council, against the laws and free custom of the realm.
III. And whereas also by the statute called ´The Great Charter of the Liberties of England,´ it is declared and enacted, that no freeman may be taken or imprisoned or be disseized of his freehold or liberties, or his free customs, or be outlawed or exiled, or in any manner destroyed, but by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land.
IV. And in the eight-and-twentieth year of the reign of King Edward III, it was declared and enacted by authority of parliament, that no man, of what estate or condition that he be, should be put out of his land or tenements, nor taken, nor imprisoned, nor disinherited nor put to death without being brought to answer by due process of law.
V. Nevertheless, against the tenor of the said statutes, and other the good laws and statutes of your realm to that end provided, divers of your subjects have of late been imprisoned without any cause showed; and when for their deliverance they were brought before your justices by your Majesty´s writs of habeas corpus, there to undergo and receive as the court should order, and their keepers commanded to certify the causes of their detainer, no cause was certified, but that they were detained by your Majesty´s special command, signified by the lords of your Privy Council, and yet were returned back to several prisons, without being charged with anything to which they might make answer according to the law.
VI. And whereas of late great companies of soldiers and mariners have been dispersed into divers counties of the realm, and the inhabitants against their wills have been compelled to receive them into their houses, and there to suffer them to sojourn against the laws and customs of this realm, and to the great grievance and vexation of the people.
VII. And whereas also by authority of parliament, in the five-and-twentieth year of the reign of King Edward III, it is declared and enacted, that no man shall be forejudged of life or limb against the form of the Great Charter and the law of the land; and by the said Great Charter and other the laws and statutes of this your realm, no man ought to be adjudged to death but by the laws established in this your realm, either by the customs of the same realm, or by acts of parliament: and whereas no offender of what kind soever is exempted from the proceedings to be used, and punishments to be inflicted by the laws and statutes of this your realm; nevertheless of late time divers commissions under your Majesty´s great seal have issued forth, by which certain persons have been assigned and appointed commissioners with power and authority to proceed within the land, according to the justice of martial law, against such soldiers or mariners, or other dissolute persons joining with them, as should commit any murder, robbery, felony, mutiny, or other outrage or misdemeanor whatsoever, and by such summary course and order as is agreeable to martial law, and is used in armies in time of war, to proceed to the trial and condemnation of such offenders, and them to cause to be executed and put to death according to the law martial.
VIII. By pretext whereof some of your Majesty´s subjects have been by some of the said commissioners put to death, when and where, if by the laws and statutes of the land they had deserved death, by the same laws and statutes also they might, and by no other ought to have been judged and executed.
IX. And also sundry grievous offenders, by color thereof claiming an exemption, have escaped the punishments due to them by the laws and statutes of this your realm, by reason that divers of your officers and ministers of justice have unjustly refused or forborne to proceed against such offenders according to the same laws and statutes, upon pretense that the said offenders were punishable only by martial law, and by authority of such commissions as aforesaid; which commissions, and all other of like nature, are wholly and directly contrary to the said laws and statutes of this your realm.
X. They do therefore humbly pray your most excellent Majesty, that no man hereafter be compelled to make or yield any gift, loan, benevolence, tax, or such like charge, without common consent by act of parliament; and that none be called to make answer, or take such oath, or to give attendance, or be confined, or otherwise molested or disquieted concerning the same or for refusal thereof; and that no freeman, in any such manner as is before mentioned, be imprisoned or detained; and that your Majesty would be pleased to remove the said soldiers and mariners, and that your people may not be so burdened in time to come; and that the aforesaid commissions, for proceeding by martial law, may be revoked and annulled; and that hereafter no commissions of like nature may issue forth to any person or persons whatsoever to be executed as aforesaid, lest by color of them any of your Majesty´s subjects be destroyed or put to death contrary to the laws and franchise of the land.
XI. All which they most humbly pray of your most excellent Majesty as their rights and liberties, according to the laws and statutes of this realm; and that your Majesty would also vouchsafe to declare, that the awards, doings, and proceedings, to the prejudice of your people in any of the premises, shall not be drawn hereafter into consequence or example; and that your Majesty would be also graciously pleased, for the further comfort and safety of your people, to declare your royal will and pleasure, that in the things aforesaid all your officers and ministers shall serve you according to the laws and statutes of this realm, as they tender the honor of your Majesty, and the prosperity of this kingdom.
This is a statement of the objectives of the 1628 English legal reform movement that led to the Civil War and deposing of Charles I in 1649. It expresses many of the ideals that later led to the American Revolution.

The Instrument of Government is important in the history of written constitutions. It was adopted by Cromwell and his Council of Officers on December 16, 1653, and under it Cromwell assumed the office of Lord Protector. When the Parliament for which it provides met in September, 1654, it passed a constitution of which the Instrument was the basis.
4-English Bill of Rights, 1689
An Act Declaring the Rights and Liberties of the Subject and Settling the Succession of the Crown
Whereas the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons assembled at Westminster, lawfully, fully and freely representing all the estates of the people of this realm, did upon the thirteenth day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred eighty-eight [old style date] present unto their Majesties, then called and known by the names and style of William and Mary, prince and princess of Orange, being present in their proper persons, a certain declaration in writing made by the said Lords and Commons in the words following, viz.:
Whereas the late King James the Second, by the assistance of divers evil counsellors, judges and ministers employed by him, did endeavour to subvert and extirpate the Protestant religion and the laws and liberties of this kingdom;
By assuming and exercising a power of dispensing with and suspending of laws and the execution of laws without consent of Parliament;
By committing and prosecuting divers worthy prelates for humbly petitioning to be excused from concurring to the said assumed power;
By issuing and causing to be executed a commission under the great seal for erecting a court called the Court of Commissioners for Ecclesiastical Causes;
By levying money for and to the use of the Crown by pretence of prerogative for other time and in other manner than the same was granted by Parliament;
By raising and keeping a standing army within this kingdom in time of peace without consent of Parliament, and quartering soldiers contrary to law;
By causing several good subjects being Protestants to be disarmed at the same time when papists were both armed and employed contrary to law;
By violating the freedom of election of members to serve in Parliament;
By prosecutions in the Court of King´s Bench for matters and causes cognizable only in Parliament, and by divers other arbitrary and illegal courses;
And whereas of late years partial corrupt and unqualified persons have been returned and served on juries in trials, and particularly divers jurors in trials for high treason which were not freeholders;
And excessive bail hath been required of persons committed in criminal cases to elude the benefit of the laws made for the liberty of the subjects;
And excessive fines have been imposed;
And illegal and cruel punishments inflicted;
And several grants and promises made of fines and forfeitures before any conviction or judgment against the persons upon whom the same were to be levied;
All which are utterly and directly contrary to the known laws and statutes and freedom of this realm;
And whereas the said late King James the Second having abdicated the government and the throne being thereby vacant, his Highness the prince of Orange (whom it hath pleased Almighty God to make the glorious instrument of delivering this kingdom from popery and arbitrary power) did (by the advice of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and divers principal persons of the Commons) cause letters to be written to the Lords Spiritual and Temporal being Protestants, and other letters to the several counties, cities, universities, boroughs and cinque ports, for the choosing of such persons to represent them as were of right to be sent to Parliament, to meet and sit at Westminster upon the two and twentieth day of January in this year one thousand six hundred eighty and eight [old style date], in order to such an establishment as that their religion, laws and liberties might not again be in danger of being subverted, upon which letters elections having been accordingly made;
And thereupon the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons, pursuant to their respective letters and elections, being now assembled in a full and free representative of this nation, taking into their most serious consideration the best means for attaining the ends aforesaid, do in the first place (as their ancestors in like case have usually done) for the vindicating and asserting their ancient rights and liberties declare
That the pretended power of suspending the laws or the execution of laws by regal authority without consent of Parliament is illegal;
That the pretended power of dispensing with laws or the execution of laws by regal authority, as it hath been assumed and exercised of late, is illegal;
That the commission for erecting the late Court of Commissioners for Ecclesiastical Causes, and all other commissions and courts of like nature, are illegal and pernicious;
That levying money for or to the use of the Crown by pretence of prerogative, without grant of Parliament, for longer time, or in other manner than the same is or shall be granted, is illegal;
That it is the right of the subjects to petition the king, and all commitments and prosecutions for such petitioning are illegal;
That the raising or keeping a standing army within the kingdom in time of peace, unless it be with consent of Parliament, is against law;
That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law;
That election of members of Parliament ought to be free;
That the freedom of speech and debates or proceedings in Parliament ought not to be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Parliament;
That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted;
That jurors ought to be duly impanelled and returned, and jurors which pass upon men in trials for high treason ought to be freeholders;
That all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular persons before conviction are illegal and void;
And that for redress of all grievances, and for the amending, strengthening and preserving of the laws, Parliaments ought to be held frequently.
And they do claim, demand and insist upon all and singular the premises as their undoubted rights and liberties, and that no declarations, judgments, doings or proceedings to the prejudice of the people in any of the said premises ought in any wise to be drawn hereafter into consequence or example; to which demand of their rights they are particularly encouraged by the declaration of his Highness the prince of Orange as being the only means for obtaining a full redress and remedy therein. Having therefore an entire confidence that his said Highness the prince of Orange will perfect the deliverance so far advanced by him, and will still preserve them from the violation of their rights which they have here asserted, and from all other attempts upon their religion, rights and liberties, the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons assembled at Westminster do resolve that William and Mary, prince and princess of Orange, be and be declared king and queen of England, France and Ireland and the dominions thereunto belonging, to hold the crown and royal dignity of the said kingdoms and dominions to them, the said prince and princess, during their lives and the life of the survivor to them, and that the sole and full exercise of the regal power be only in and executed by the said prince of Orange in the names of the said prince and princess during their joint lives, and after their deceases the said crown and royal dignity of the same kingdoms and dominions to be to the heirs of the body of the said princess, and for default of such issue to the Princess Anne of Denmark and the heirs of her body, and for default of such issue to the heirs of the body of the said prince of Orange. And the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons do pray the said prince and princess to accept the same accordingly.
And that the oaths hereafter mentioned be taken by all persons of whom the oaths have allegiance and supremacy might be required by law, instead of them; and that the said oaths of allegiance and supremacy be abrogated.
I, A.B., do sincerely promise and swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to their Majesties King William and Queen Mary. So help me God.
I, A.B., do swear that I do from my heart abhor, detest and abjure as impious and heretical this damnable doctrine and position, that princes excommunicated or deprived by the Pope or any authority of the see of Rome may be deposed or murdered by their subjects or any other whatsoever. And I do declare that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm. So help me God.
Upon which their said Majesties did accept the crown and royal dignity of the kingdoms of England, France and Ireland, and the dominions thereunto belonging, according to the resolution and desire of the said Lords and Commons contained in the said declaration. And thereupon their Majesties were pleased that the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons, being the two Houses of Parliament, should continue to sit, and with their Majesties´ royal concurrence make effectual provision for the settlement of the religion, laws and liberties of this kingdom, so that the same for the future might not be in danger again of being subverted, to which the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons did agree, and proceed to act accordingly. Now in pursuance of the premises the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons in Parliament assembled, for the ratifying, confirming and establishing the said declaration and the articles, clauses, matters and things therein contained by the force of law made in due form by authority of Parliament, do pray that it may be declared and enacted that all and singular the rights and liberties asserted and claimed in the said declaration are the true, ancient and indubitable rights and liberties of the people of this kingdom, and so shall be esteemed, allowed, adjudged, deemed and taken to be; and that all and every the particulars aforesaid shall be firmly and strictly holden and observed as they are expressed in the said declaration, and all officers and ministers whatsoever shall serve their Majesties and their successors according to the same in all time to come. And the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons, seriously considering how it hath pleased Almighty God in his marvellous providence and merciful goodness to this nation to provide and preserve their said Majesties´ royal persons most happily to reign over us upon the throne of their ancestors, for which they render unto him from the bottom of their hearts their humblest thanks and praises, do truly, firmly, assuredly and in the sincerity of their hearts think, and do hereby recognize, acknowledge and declare, that King James the Second having abdicated the government, and their Majesties having accepted the crown and royal dignity as aforesaid, their said Majesties did become, were, are and of right ought to be by the laws of this realm our sovereign liege lord and lady, king and queen of England, France and Ireland and the dominions thereunto belonging, in and to whose princely persons the royal state, crown and dignity of the said realms with all honours, styles, titles, regalities, prerogatives, powers, jurisdictions and authorities to the same belonging and appertaining are most fully, rightfully and entirely invested and incorporated, united and annexed. And for preventing all questions and divisions in this realm by reason of any pretended titles to the crown, and for preserving a certainty in the succession thereof, in and upon which the unity, peace, tranquility and safety of this nation doth under God wholly consist and depend, the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons do beseech their Majesties that it may be enacted, established and declared, that the crown and regal government of the said kingdoms and dominions, with all and singular the premises thereunto belonging and appertaining, shall be and continue to their said Majesties and the survivor of them during their lives and the life of the survivor of them, and that the entire, perfect and full exercise of the regal power and government be only in and executed by his Majesty in the names of both their Majesties during their joint lives; and after their deceases the said crown and premises shall be and remain to the heirs of the body of her Majesty, and for default of such issue to her Royal Highness the Princess Anne of Denmark and the heirs of the body of his said Majesty; and thereunto the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons do in the name of all the people aforesaid most humbly and faithfully submit themselves, their heirs and posterities for ever, and do faithfully promise that they will stand to, maintain and defend their said Majesties, and also the limitation and succession of the crown herein specified and contained, to the utmost of their powers with their lives and estates against all persons whatsoever that shall attempt anything to the contrary. And whereas it hath been found by experience that it is inconsistent with the safety and welfare of this Protestant kingdom to be governed by a popish prince, or by any king or queen marrying a papist, the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons do further pray that it may be enacted, that all and every person and persons that is, are or shall be reconciled to or shall hold communion with the see or Church of Rome, or shall profess the popish religion, or shall marry a papist, shall be excluded and be for ever incapable to inherit, possess or enjoy the crown and government of this realm and Ireland and the dominions thereunto belonging or any part of the same, or to have, use or exercise any regal power, authority or jurisdiction within the same; and in all and every such case or cases the people of these realms shall be and are hereby absolved of their allegiance; and the said crown and government shall from time to time descend to and be enjoyed by such person or persons being Protestants as should have inherited and enjoyed the same in case the said person or persons so reconciled, holding communion or professing or marrying as aforesaid were naturally dead; and that every king and queen of this realm who at any time hereafter shall come to and succeed in the imperial crown of this kingdom shall on the first day of the meeting of the first Parliament next after his or her coming to the crown, sitting in his or her throne in the House of Peers in the presence of the Lords and Commons therein assembled, or at his or her coronation before such person or persons who shall administer the coronation oath to him or her at the time of his or her taking the said oath (which shall first happen), make, subscribe and audibly repeat the declaration mentioned in the statute made in the thirtieth year of the reign of King Charles the Second entitled, _An Act for the more effectual preserving the king´s person and government by disabling papists from sitting in either House of Parliament._ But if it shall happen that such king or queen upon his or her succession to the crown of this realm shall be under the age of twelve years, then every such king or queen shall make, subscribe and audibly repeat the same declaration at his or her coronation or the first day of the meeting of the first Parliament as aforesaid which shall first happen after such king or queen shall have attained the said age of twelve years. All which their Majesties are contented and pleased shall be declared, enacted and established by authority of this present Parliament, and shall stand, remain and be the law of this realm for ever; and the same are by their said Majesties, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons in Parliament assembled and by the authority of the same, declared, enacted and established accordingly.
II. And be it further declared and enacted by the authority aforesaid, that from and after this present session of Parliament no dispensation by _non obstante_ of or to any statute or any part thereof shall be allowed, but that the same shall be held void and of no effect, except a dispensation be allowed of in such statute, and except in such cases as shall be specially provided for by one or more bill or bills to be passed during this present session of Parliament.
III. Provided that no charter or grant or pardon granted before the three and twentieth day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred eighty-nine shall be any ways impeached or invalidated by this Act, but that the same shall be and remain of the same force and effect in law and no other than as if this Act had never been made.

And seeing by the Laws of England, there are Rewards granted upon the Exportation of certain Kinds of Grain, wherein Oats grinded or ungrinded are not expressed; that from and after the Union, when Oats shall be sold at fifteen Shillings Sterling per Quarter, or under, there shall be paid two Shillings and six Pence Sterling for every Quarter of the Oatmeal exported in the Terms of the Law, whereby and so long as Rewards are granted for Exportation of other Grains, and that the Bear of Scotland have the same Rewards as Barley: And in Respect the Importation of Victual into Scotland from any Place beyond Sea, would prove a Discouragement to Tillage, therefore that the Prohibition as now in Force by the Law of Scotland, against Importation of Victuals from Ireland, or any other Place beyond Sea into Scotland, do, after the Union, remain in the same Force as now it is, until more proper and effectual Ways be provided by the Parliament of Great Britain, for discouraging the Importation of the said Victuals from beyond Sea.

VIIIThat from and after the Union, all forreign Salt which shall be imported into Scotland, shall be charged at the Importation there, with the same Duties as the like Salt is now charged with being Imported into England, and to be levied and secured in the same Manner: But in regard the Duties of great Quantities of forreign Salt imported may be very heavy upon the Merchants Importers, that therefore all forreign Salt imported into Scotland, shall be Cellared and locked up under the Custody of the Merchants Importers, and the Officers employed for levying the Duties upon Salt, and that the Merchant may have what Quantity thereof his Occasion may require, not under a Weigh or fortie Bushells at a Time, giving Security for the Dutie of what Quantity he receives, payable in six Months. But Scotland shall, for the Space of seven Years from the said Union, be exempted from paying in Scotland, for Salt made there, the Dutie or Excise now payable for Salt made in England; but from the Expiration of the said seven Years, shall be subject and lyable to the same Duties for Salt made in Scotland as shall be then payable for Salt made in England, to be levied and secured in the same Manner, and with proportionable Drawbacks and Allowances as in England, with this Exception, That Scotland shall, after the said seven Years, remain exempted from the Dutie of two Shillings four Pence a Bushell on Home Salt, imposed by an Act made in England in the Ninth and Tenth of King William the Third of England, and if the Parliament of Great Britain shall, at or before the expiring of the said seven Years, substitute any other Fund in Place of the said two Shillings four Pence of excise on the Bushell of Home Salt, Scotland shall, after the said seven Years, bear a Proportion of the said Fund, and have an Equivalent in the Terms of this Treaty; and that during the said seven Years, there shall be paid in England, for all Salt made in Scotland, and imported from thence into England, the same Duties upon the Importation, as shall be payable for Salt made in England, to be levied and secured in the same Manner as the Duties on forreign Salt are to be levied and secured in England; and that after the said seven Years, as long as the said Dutie of two Shillings four Pence a Bushell upon Salt is continued in England, the said two Shillings and four Pence a Bushell shall be payable for all Salt made in Scotland, and imported into England, to be levied and secured in the same Manner; and that during the continuance of the Dutie of two Shillings four Pence a Bushell upon Salt made in England, no Salt whatsoever be brought from Scotland to England by Land in any Manner, under the Penalty of forfeiting the Salt, and the Cattle and Carriages made use of in bringing the same, and paying twenty Shillings for every Bushell of such Salt, and proportionably for a greater or lesser Quantity, for which the Carrier as well as the Owner shall be lyable, jointly and severally, and the Persons bringing or carrying the same to be imprisoned by any one Justice of the Peace, by the Space of six Months without Bail, and until the Penalty be paid. And for establishing an Equality in Trade, that all Flesh exported from Scotland to England, and put on Board in Scotland to be exported to Parts beyond the Seas, and Provisions for Ships in Scotland, and for forreign Voyages, may be salted with Scots Salt, paying the same Dutie for what Salt is to employed as the like Quantity or such Salt pays in England, and under the same Penalties, Forfeitures, and Provisions for preventing of Frauds as are mentioned in the Laws of England; and that from and after the Union, the Laws and Acts of Parliament in Scotland, for pining, curing, and packing of Herrings, white Fish and Salmon for Exportation with forreign Salt only, without any Mixture of British or Irish Salt, and for preventing of Frauds in curing and packing of Fish, be continued in Force in Scotland, subject to such Alterations as shall be made by the Parliament of Great Britain; and that all Fish exported from Scotland to Parts beyond the Seas, which shall be cured with forreign Salt only, and without Mixture of British or Irish Salt, shall have the same Eases, Premiums, and Drawbacks, as are or shall be allowed to such Persons as export the like Fish from England; and that for Encouragement of the Herring Fishing, there shall be allowed and paid to the Subjects, Inhabitants of Great Britain, during the present Allowances for other Fish, ten Shillings five Pence Sterling for every Barrel of White Herrings which shall be exported from Scotland; and that there shall be allowed five Shillings Sterling for every Barrel of Beef or Pork salted with forreign Salt, without Mixture of British or Irish Salt, and exported for Sale from Scotland to Parts beyond Sea, alterable by the Parliament of Great Britain; and if any Matters of Fraud relating to the said Duties on Salt shall hereafter appear, which are not sufficiently provided, against by this Article, the same shall be subject to such further Provisions as shall be thought fit by the Parliament of Great Britain.
IXThat whenever the sum of One million nine hundred ninety seven thousand seven hundred and sixty three pounds eight shillings and four pence half penny, shall be enacted by the Parliament of Great Britain to be raised in that part of the United Kingdom now called England, on Land and other Things usually charged in Acts of Parliament there, for granting an Aid to the Crown by a Land Tax; that part of the United Kingdom now called Scotland, shall be charged by the same Act, with a further Sum of forty-eight thousand Pounds, free of all Charges, as the Quota of Scotland, to such Tax, and to proportionably for any greater or lesser Sum raised in England by any Tax on Land, and other Things usually charged together with the Land; and that such Quota for Scotland, in the Cases aforesaid, be raised and collected in the same Manner as the Cess now is in Scotland, but subject to such Regulations in the manner of collecting, as shall be made by the Parliament of Great Britain.
XI That during the continuance of the duties payable in England on windows and lights, which determines on the 1st day of August, 1710, Scotland shall not be charged with the same duties.
XII That during the continuance of the duties payable in England on coals, culm, and cinders, which determines the 30th day of September, 1710, Scotland shall not be charged therewith for coals, culm, and cinders consumed there, but shall be charged with the same duties as in England for all coal, culm, and cinders not consumed in Scotland.
XIII That during the continuance of the duty payable in England on malt, which determines the 4th day of June 1707, Scotland shall not be charged with that Dutie.
XIVThat the Kingdom of Scotland not be charged with any other Duties laid on by the Parliament of England before the Union, except these consented to in this Treaty; in regard it is agreed, That all necessary Provision shall be made by the Parliament of Scotland for the publick Charge and Service of that Kingdom, for the Year One thousand seven hundred and seven. Provided nevertheless, That if the Parliament of England shall think fit to lay any further Impositions by way of Customs, or such Excises which by virtue of this Treaty, Scotland is to be treated equally with England, in such Case Scotland shall be lyable to the same Customs and Excises, and have an Equivalent to be settled by the Parliament of Great Britain; with this further Provision, That any Malt to be made and consumed in that part of the United Kingdom now called Scotland, shall not be charged with any imposition on Malt, during this present War. And seeing it cannot be supposed that the Parliament of Great Britain will ever lay any sort of Burthens upon the United Kingdom, but what they shall find of Necessity at that Time for the Preservation and Good of the Whole, and with due regard to the Circumstances and Abilities of every part of the United Kingdom; therefore it is agreed, That there be no further Exemption insisted upon for any part of the United Kingdom, but that the Consideration of any Exemptions beyond what are already agreed on in this Treaty, shall be left to the Determination of the Parliament of Great Britain.
XVThat whereas by the Terms of this Treaty, the Subject of Scotland, for preserving an Equality of Trade throughout the United Kingdom, will be lyable to several Customs and excises now payable in England, which will be applicable towards payment of the Debts of England, contracted before the Union; it is agreed, That Scotland shall have an Equivalent for what the Subjects thereof shall be so charged towards Payment or the said Debts of England, in all Particulars whatsoever, in Manner following, viz.

7-Parliament Act, 1911
An act to make provision with respect to the powers of the house of lords in relation to those of the house of commons and to limit the duration of parliament. Whereas it is expedient that provision should be made for regulating the relations between the two houses of parliament; and whereas it is intended to substitute for the house of lords as it at present exists a second chamber constituted on a popular instead of hereditary basis, but such substitution cannot be immediately brought into operation; and whereas provision will require hereafter to be made by parliament in a measure effecting such substitution for limiting and defining the powers of the new second chamber, but it is expedient to make such provision as in this act appears for restricting the existing powers of the house of lords: be it therefore enacted ... as follows: —
If a money bill, having been passed by the house of commons and sent up to the house of lords at least one month before the end of the session, is not passed by the house of lords without amendment within one month after it is so sent up to that house, the bill shall, unless the house of commons direct to the contrary, be presented to his majesty and become an act of parliament on the royal assent being signified, notwithstanding that the house of lords have not consented to the bill. A money bill means a public bill which in the opinion of the speaker of the house of commons contains only provisions dealing with all or any of the following subjects: namely, the imposition, repeal, remission, alteration, or regulation of taxation; the imposition for the payment of debt or other financial purposes of charges on the consolidated fund, or on money provided by parliament, or the variation or repeal of any such charges; supply; the appropriation, receipt, custody, issue, or audit of accounts of public money; the raising or guarantee of any loan or the repayment thereof; or subordinate matters incidental to those subjects or any of them. In this sub-section the expressions, "taxation," "public money," and "loan" respectively, do not include any taxation, money, or loan raised by local authorities or bodies for local purposes. There shall be endorsed on every money bill when it is sent up to the house of lords and when it is presented to his majesty for assent the certificate of the speaker of the house of commons signed by him that it is a money bill....
If any public bill (other than a money bill or a bill containing any provision to extend the maximum duration of parliament beyond five years) is passed by the house of commons in three successive sessions (whether of the same parliament or not), and, having been sent up to the house of lords at least one month before the end of the session, is rejected by the house of lords in each of those sessions, that bill shall, on its rejection for the third time by the house of lords, unless the house of commons direct to the contrary, be presented to his majesty and become an act of parliament on the royal assent being signified thereto, notwithstanding that the house of lords have not consented to the bill. Provided that this provision shall not take effect unless two years have elapsed between the date of the second reading in the first of those sessions of the bill in the house of commons and the date on which it passes the house of commons in the third of those sessions. When a bill is presented to his majesty for assent in pursuance of the provisions of this section, there shall be endorsed on the bill the certificate of the speaker of the house of commons signed by him that the provisions of this section have been duly complied with. A bill shall be deemed to be rejected by the house of lords if it is not passed by the house of lords either without amendment or with such amendments only as may be agreed to by both houses. A bill shall be deemed to be the same bill as a former bill sent up to the house of lords in the preceding session if, when it is sent up to the house of lords, it is identical with the former bill or contains only such alterations as are certified by the speaker of the house of commons to be necessary owing to the time which has elapsed since the date of the former bill, or to represent any amendments which have been made by the house of lords in the former bill in the preceding session, and any amendments which are certified by the speaker to have been made by the house of lords in the third session and agreed to by the house of commons shall be inserted in the bill as presented for royal assent in pursuance of this section....
Any certificate of the speaker of the house of commons given under this act shall be conclusive for all purposes, and shall not be questioned in any court of law.
In every bill presented to his majesty under the preceding provisions of this act, the words of enactment shall be as follows, that is to say: "Be it enacted by the king´s most excellent majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the commons in this present parliament assembled, in accordance with the provisions of the Parliament Act, 1911, and by authority of the same, as follows." ...
Five years shall be substituted for seven years as the time fixed for the maximum duration of parliament under the Septennial Act, 1715....

8-The Statute of Westminster, 1931
(British Statutes, 22 George V, Chapter 4)
An Act to give effect to certain resolutions passed by Imperial Conferences held in the years 1926 and 1930.
11th December, 1931
WHEREAS the delegates to His Majesty´s Governments in the United Kingdom, the Dominion of Canada, the Commonwealth of Australia, the Dominion of New Zealand, the Union of South Africa, the Irish Free State and Newfoundland, at Imperial Conferences holden at Westminster in the years of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty-six and nineteen hundred and thirty did concur in making the declarations and resolutions set forth in the Reports of the said Conferences:
And whereas it is meet and proper to set out by way of preamble to this Act that, inasmuch as the Crown is the symbol of the free association of the members of the British Commonwealth of Nations, and as they are united by a common allegiance to the Crown, it would be in accord with the established constitutional position of all the members of the Commonwealth in relation to one another that any alteration in the law touching the Succession to the Throne or the Royal Style and Titles shall hereafter require the assent as well of the Parliaments of all the Dominions as of the Parliament of the United Kingdom:
And whereas it is in accord with the established constitutional position that no law hereafter made by the Parliament of the United Kingdom shall extend to any of the said Dominions as part of the law of that Dominion otherwise than at the request and with the consent of that Dominion:
And whereas it is necessary for the ratifying, confirming and establishing of certain of the said declarations and resolutions of
the said Conferences that a law be made and enacted in due form by authority of the Parliament of the United Kingdom:
And whereas the Dominion of Canada, the Commonwealth of Australia, the Dominion of New Zealand, the Union of South Africa, the Irish Free State and Newfoundland have severally requested and consented to the submission of a measure to the Parliament of the United Kingdom for making such provision with regard to the matters aforesaid as is hereafter in this Act contained:

Parliament of the United Kingdom, or to any order, rule, or regulation made under any such Act, and the powers of the Parliament of a Dominion shall include the power to repeal or amend any such Act, order, rule or regulation in so far as the same is part of the law of the Dominion.
It is hereby declared and enacted that the Parliament of a Dominion has full power to make laws having extra-territorial operation.
No Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom passed after the commencement of this Act shall extend or be deemed to extend, to a Dominion as part of the law of that Dominion, unless it is expressly declared in that Act that that Dominion has requested, and consented to, the enactment thereof.
Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Act, section seven hundred and thirty-five and seven hundred and thirty-six of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, shall be construed as though reference therein to the Legislature of a British possession did not include reference to the Parliament of a Dominion.
Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Act, section four of the Colonial Courts of Admiralty Act, 1890 (which requires certain laws to be reserved for the signification of His Majesty´s pleasure or to contain a suspending clause), and so much of section seven of that Act as requires the approval of His Majesty in Council to any rules of Court for regulating the practice and procedure of a Colonial Court of Admiralty, shall cease to have effect in any Dominion as from the commencement of this Act.

(2) Nothing in this Act shall be deemed to require the concurrence of the Parliament or Government of the Commonwealth of
Australia, in any law made by the Parliament of the United Kingdom with respect to any matter within the authority of the States of Australia, not being a matter within the authority of the Parliament or Government of the Commonwealth of Australia, in any case where it would have been in accordance with the constitutional practice existing before the commencement of this Act that the Parliament of the United Kingdom should make that law without such concurrence.
(3) In the application of this Act to the Commonwealth of Australia the request and consent referred to in section four shall mean the request and consent of the Parliament and government of the Commonwealth.
(1) None of the following sections of this Act, that is to say, sections two, three, four, five, and six, shall extend to a Dominion to which this section applies as part of the law of that Dominion unless that section is adopted by the Parliament of the Dominion, and any Act of that Parliament adopting any section of this Act may provide that the adoption shall have effect either from the commencement of this Act or from such later date as is specified in the adopting Act.

We had a lovely jaunt to Florida to spend time with the in-laws, catch some sun (thanks for nothing,Wisconsin. Its snowing right now!) and relax in general. I've got a few things in the pipeline, including another edition of the 'all things/money free if you have too much time on your hands or want to waste time at work' series coming up. Plus I'm getting back on the fitness train! This morning was spent T25'ing, and then the 3 year old joined me for a rousing Jillian Michaels kickboxing video. That's right. I did two videos BACK TO BACK, FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. Cue the feeling of death and extra large cups of coffee.
The last few days have been a blur, with the travel that never ended (we had to spend the night in Tampa at a sketchy hotel courtesy of a lovely mechanical problem. Thanks, Delta!) and the eldest child turning three. Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks just because I'm generous like that. | <urn:uuid:3888590f-85c9-40cb-ab02-90bdb56f86f3> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.sahmbuffy.com/2014/04/ | 2019-07-23T18:02:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.973739 | 216 |

In this article, we’ll show you how to create a Linux bootable USB flash drive from Mac OS terminal. If for some reason you do not have windows or Linux installed on your machine, then you can create a bootable USB flash drive in Mac OS.
First of all, you have to download your favorite Linux distribution. After that insert the flash drive into your system, but first, we need to determine the name of our flash drive, for this we open the terminal and issue the following command.
our flash drive was defined as /dev/disk1
further, we need superuser rights
enter your password, and do not worry that you can not see the characters of the input.
Continue, Now we know the name of our flash drive we will proceed with formatting.
diskutil eraseDisk "MS-DOS FAT-32" FLASH disk1
Let’s take a closer look, “eraseDisk” – erases our disk, “MS-DOS FAT-32” – formats the USB flash drive with FAT32 system, “FLASH” – the new disc name and “disk1” – how the flash drive is ready.
If everything went well, then you need to unmount the USB device with a command
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1
Now write the image by issuing the command
dd if = "path to image" of = /dev/disk1
and wait for about 15 minutes.
Now you have fully functional, bootable Linux USB drive. Reboot and install your OS. | <urn:uuid:f53af4c1-dbc6-431a-8a67-79cb3cd7fcbc> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.smashinglab.com/create-bootable-linux-flash-drive-mac-os-terminal/ | 2019-07-23T18:45:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.841959 | 332 |
Staying Ahead of the Curve
There are a lot of consultants and advisors who are adept at keeping up with yesterday’s big news. The trouble is, by the time they get comfortable and known for reengineering, team-building, or customer-driven anything, that wave has crashed on the beach and another breaker is forming.
While there’s a certain clarity to be derived from helping a client see what’s been happening, there’s much more power in helping to light the path ahead so that the client can see what’s coming. Even my dogs constantly look out the windshield or crane their necks to look ahead out of the side windows. They’re simply not interested in watching the road disappear behind us.
The art of looking ahead that I’m advocating isn’t “futurism” or some other form of shaky prognostication. (That’s risky business. One Chicago sportswriter confidently predicted that Tiger Woods couldn’t possibly win the Masters. After Woods’s record-breaking performance, I wrote to inquire as to whether there were any criteria whatsoever to be a sportswriter for the Chicago Tribune.) I’m referring instead to the ability to help a client interpret trends, avoid the “because we’ve always done it that way” mentality, and accept accountability for proactively raising standards of performance.
I’ve been hired recently by a Fortune 500 financial firm that has produced 20% annual compound growth for five years. Some of the executives, reacting to my recommendations about changing some of the ways they lead and communicate, quickly point out the recent results and comment, “Look, we’re not doing so bad, are we? We’re outperforming the entire market.”
“That’s true, and impressive,” I reply. “So, if you can answer just one question for me, I’ll leave you alone: How do you know you shouldn’t be doing even better? For example, how do you know that you shouldn’t be doing 27% a year?”
That takes care of that, because they’re not sure. Past success never equals future success, but it can certainly equal future complacency. Here are nine key areas to focus on when helping a client consider the future and illuminate the path as brightly as possible:
- Selection: Are we hiring the kinds of people we need for five years from now, and not the people we needed five years ago?
- Technology: Are we using technology to augment our productivity, or is it being acquired simply because it’s new (for the moment)?
- Marketing: What new markets—geographically or demographically—should we be thinking about opening or expanding?
- Sales: Are there alternative sales methods, i.e., the internet, subscription base, telemarketing, etc., that we should be implementing?
- Distribution: Are there alternative distribution sources available to us that would speed responsiveness and/or cut costs?
- Investment: Are we continuing to make investments in areas of high payback in the environment we envision?
- Commercialization: Is our R&D (or product development) oriented toward a measurable payback in the short-term with fixed accountability?
- Service: Can we push service closer to the customer and create faster response?
- Infrastructure: Are we organized in a flat, responsive manner, or are we simply building on the old organization without critical analysis?
Add your own criteria to the checklist. The key is, to what extent are we helping the client to prepare for the future, rather than adapt to the past? Even my dogs can see what’s coming if they lean out far enough. | <urn:uuid:97150180-c594-45eb-8b09-4ee7bd6df361> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://alanweiss.com/resources/hot-tips/staying-ahead-of-the-curve/ | 2019-07-23T17:38:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.935947 | 791 |
Brazilian startup Route is working on providing companies with an innovative way of viewing the customer journey, using a fun, gaming-type interface.
A recent report from Forrester Research revealed that many companies feel they are ill-equipped to manage the shift to digital. Meanwhile, 86% of Marketing Managers polled in the United States say that creating a consistent customer journey is a priority nowadays. Taking this observation as its starting-point, fledgling Brazilian company Route has been working to develop a user-friendly online customer journey tracker, based on gamification techniques.
Route plans to offer functionality based on gaming techniques to enable firms to follow the journey as experienced by the user-customer
Route intends to add gamification to the marketer’s toolbox. Once the software has been perfected, the Brazilian startup is planning to offer company marketing staff a package consisting of gaming interface plus points system that will provide new insights into the journey and experience of any person who has just visited the company website. This will enable the marketing department to draw up user profiles for the purpose of creating precisely targeted advertising campaigns.
‟We set out to build a tool that anyone can use so as to make it easier to automate Marketing processes. Today, a firm that wants to use a traditional automation solution has to pay to install it and also pay for the consultancy that goes with it. Staff then have to be trained up to use the tools that have been installed. With our product a company doesn’t need to take on a software developer. All you have to do is run a special script on the website page,” explains Felipe Cardoso Barbosa, Digital Marketing Analyst at Route.
Gamifying in order to reconcile marketers to data seems to be an interesting complement to the acquisition of digital skills within marketing services. | <urn:uuid:ff76b51b-89f9-4ece-b729-43e4b44271b9> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://atelier.bnpparibas/en/retail/article/route-draws-gamification-provide-marketers-customer-data | 2019-07-23T18:35:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.949665 | 366 |
Innovators are full of questions.
Nature has answers.
AskNature provides innovators with the world’s most comprehensive catalog of nature’s solutions to human design challenges. This curated online library features free information on over 1,800 (and growing!) natural phenomena and hundreds of bio-inspired applications.
Did you know?
Pomelo fruit can strike the ground from heights over 30 feet without showing signs of damage, thanks to a composite and hierarchically organized peel structure. This structure inspired the recent development of an aluminum composite material being considered for use in safety applications.
What will you AskNature?
How does nature prevent turbulence?
Serrated feather shapes allow owls to fly without creating turbulence or noise. Mechanical engineers have emulated these shapes to design fans and turbines that are nearly silent.
How does nature optimize networks?
As slime mold spreads, it organizes into noded networks that efficiently connect its food sources. Planners and engineers are studying how slime mold might help optimize our own networks.
How does nature move efficiently?
Fish in schools save energy by swimming in vortices created by their neighbors. Researchers are using similar principles to find optimal positions for tight arrays of vertical-axis wind turbines.
From systemic problems like climate change to more localized issues like managing waste, AskNature presents information that helps designers and innovators solve challenges using materials and processes that are healthy for people and the planet.
Nearly every design challenge humans face shares commonalities with the challenges the rest of life has adapted to over billions of years of evolutionary trial-and-error. AskNature helps innovators understand how these adaptations work, empowering them to emulate forms, processes, and systems that have evolved to thrive in balance with Earth’s complex systems.
Since its launch in 2008, AskNature has attracted over 2 million students, educators, and professionals spanning fields across design, engineering, science, and business. These users include everyone from product designers focused on structure and behavior, to materials scientists exploring nano- and micro-scale protein synthesis, to entrepreneurs thinking about relationships and whole systems, to research biologists documenting new natural phenomena. They all rely on AskNature for information to inspire innovation, conduct research, and teach biomimicry.

I am currently about to start my junior year of college. I plan in recieving my BS in Biomolecular Science after my senior year. I am looking to apply to PT school around that time. I have a relativly good grade in my BMS classes 3.7 but when it comes to general requirements, my cumulative is in the 3.1 range. Therefore because PT school is so competitive to get into I am trying to build outside things to make my resume better to make up for my average grades. I have already accumulated around 200 hours of shadow time at a PT clinic during the last couple summers and am going to shadow at a hospital in town next summer. How many hours should I be getting before I apply to PT school, and what are some other things I can do to build my resume. | <urn:uuid:8414e583-f6c7-4002-8636-37e93eb1d0f2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/getting-ready-for-pt-school.645844/ | 2019-07-23T18:45:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.969266 | 166 |

Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Competition among species, or interspecific competition, can have an even greater effect on selection than competition within species (intraspecific competition). This is often the case in lower density populations. Different species can have positive, neutral, or negative effects on each others fitness, and the effect species 1 has on species 2 is not necessarily the same that 2 has on 1. The effects that cohabiting species have on each other shapes evolution the same way that selective pressures from within a species or the physical environment shapes it.

I am making a procedurally generated voxel world made of blocks. Some of the blocks have non cubic shapes (ramps), and some of the blocks are transparent (water).
All the blocks are part of the same mesh. The mesh is made out of 2 sub-meshes, both using unity's standard shader, one with the opaque rendering mode, while the other uses the transparent mode.
I want to allow for the water block to render at the same location as a ramp block, with the water correctly appearing above the ground.
Here is an image of a ramp block next to a water block:
When I combine them however, I get the following effect:
I have set the transparent Shader to write to the Z-Buffer using:
(Otherwise only the water block is visible)
Here is my code for rendering the mesh:
filter.mesh.Clear(); filter.mesh.vertices = meshData.vertices.ToArray(); filter.mesh.subMeshCount = 2; filter.mesh.SetTriangles(meshData.triangles.ToArray(), 0); filter.mesh.SetTriangles(meshData.transparentTriangles.ToArray(), 1); filter.mesh.uv = meshData.uv.ToArray(); filter.mesh.RecalculateNormals();
meshData.triangles contains the triangles of the opaque blocks, and meshData.transparentTriangles contains the triangles of the transparent blocks.
I have tried to slightly offset the water block, to avoid having 2 triangles at the exact same position, and that almost gives me the effect I want, except for some reason the opaque block becomes transparent, even though it's triangles are rendered by the opaque shader:

There isn’t venture far to taste really authentic Thai food. You might have the yummiest and quite a few original Thai food every evening if you fancied. No longer the jars and the ready pastes, for all of us with the discerning palette will know it’s just not precisely the same. I’m referring to DIY authentic Thai cooking! From a geniune Thai cooking class – the gateway to food heaven. You’ll position the supermarkets along with the takeaways to shame right away.
Cookery courses are ever more popular however you have to be careful that you attend a cookery class that are experts in genuinely teaches people to cook rather than a demo based, fun, gift experience provider through some of the popular voucher offers available nowadays. Yes, the class must be fun – nevertheless it should also be a cookery school with learning objective, to get the best from your Thai cookery classes or indeed any Cookery classes.
Be aware of small class sizes and look at the menu of the items you’re going to cover about the Thai cooking class. Many Thai cooking classes could be more demo based, that you simply genuinely wish to avoid. Instead look for Thai cookery classes which can be fully face to face and gets you to perform cooking the fun bit but also where you’ll study the most.
Make sure that your Thai cookery class experience covers the components and also the preparation of ingredients in most in-depth so you become good at the big variety of spices and herbs used, grinding and roasting techniques, this will likely set you up very well. You may already know 60% from the jobs are inside the preparation and that’s the key to making your own home cookery experience fun, motivating and sustainable for long periods of your time – or at best and soon you become bored with Thai cookery.
A great Thai Cooking class fundamentally include understanding how to make the red or green curry paste from scratch since this is the building blocks block for the good number of dishes. It will also cover a soup plus a curry dish, since these would be the cornerstones of Thai cookery. Thai cookery classes specifically need to get into the nuts and bolts of cooking, so be sure to check you cannot assume all treats. Things like Phad Thai could be very tricky which is useful to see.
A Thai cookery type of the genuine kind have become widely available along with necessarily think assume the top to stay in London. Many of the home counties have some great finds, so expect you’ll go obtain the best, it’ll be worthwhile ultimately.

The People v. ParkerAnnotate this Case
42 Ill. 2d 42 (1968)
245 N.E.2d 487
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, Appellee, v. LAWRENCE G. PARKER, Appellant.
Supreme Court of Illinois.
Opinion filed November 22, 1968.
Modified on denial of rehearing, March 25, 1969.
*43 JULIUS LUCIUS ECHELES and JO-ANNE WOLFSON, both of Chicago, WILLIAM G. CLARK, Attorney General, of Springfield, and BASIL G. GREANIAS, State's Attorney, of Decatur, (FRED G. LEACH, Assistant Attorney General, and FREDERICK P. ERICKSON, Assistant State's Attorney, of counsel,) for the People.
Reversed and remanded.
Mr. JUSTICE KLUCZYNSKI delivered the opinion of the court:
Lawrence Parker, the defendant, was convicted under two indictments charging him with illegal possession of narcotics. His motion to suppress the admission in evidence of certain marijuana found in his desk at his place of employment and at his home was denied, and he was found guilty by a jury and sentenced to a term of not less than 2 nor more than 5 years in the penitentiary. He appeals, contending that the indictments against him were void, that the State failed to prove that the seized substances were marijuana, that a certain instruction relating to "dangerous drugs" was improperly refused, and that his constitutional rights were violated by the denial of his motion to suppress. In the view we take of the case, it is necessary only to discuss the evidence bearing on this latter contention since we hold that the motion to suppress should have been allowed.
The contraband in question was uncovered and seized pursuant to search warrants issued March 15, 1967, by a judge of the circuit court of Macon County. The verified complaints for the warrants recited that the complainant, Kenneth Metcalf, a State narcotics inspector, "has been informed by an informant who has previously given information to said complainant which proved to be true" that Lawrence Parker had a quantity of marijuana stored in his desk at his place of employment and at his home which the informer had personally observed. They further recited that the informer had purchased samples of this marijuana *44 from Lawrence Parker in recent months which had been turned over to the complainant, subjected to analysis and proved to be marijuana.
The issue presented here, as below, is whether the foregoing affidavits established probable cause for the issuance of the search warrants. As they were the only matters presented to the circuit judge, the warrants must stand or fall solely on their contents. It is now well settled, following the Supreme Court's decisions in Jones v. United States, 362 U.S. 257, 4 L. Ed. 2d 697, 80 S. Ct. 725; Aguilar v. Texas, 378 U.S. 108, 12 L. Ed. 2d 723, 84 S. Ct. 1509, and Spinelli v. United States, 37 Law Week 4110, 21 L. Ed. 2d 637, that an affidavit based on the observations of one other than the affiant is not to be deemed insufficient, "so long as a substantial basis for crediting the hearsay is presented." (See People v. Williams, 36 Ill. 2d 505, 508; People v. York, 29 Ill. 2d 68.) To establish such basis, "the magistrate [issuing the warrant] must be informed of some of the underlying circumstances from which the informant concluded that the narcotics were where he claimed they were, and some of the underlying circumstances from which the officer [the affiant] concluded that the informant * * * was `credible' or his information `reliable'." Aguilar, 378 U.S. at 114.
In our judgment, the instant affidavits (which differed only with respect to the alleged location of the marijuana) fall short of meeting this latter requirement. Their sole allegation relating to the reliability of the informer is the general averment that he had "previously given information to said complainant which proved to be true." They do not reveal the character of this prior information or whether it led to arrests or convictions. Nor do they allege that the present information had been independently corroborated by the affiant or any other officers, other than the proof that the substances handed over were marijuana. Absent such factual allegations, or other grounds from which an issuing *45 magistrate could reasonably credit the informer's accusation, the affidavits are defective and the warrants cannot stand.
We reach this decision fully aware of the rule, often announced in decisions of the Supreme Court dealing with search and seizure problems, that "the informed and deliberate determinations of magistrates empowered to issue warrants * * * are to be preferred over the hurried action of officers * * * who may happen to make arrests." (United States v. Lefkowitz, 285 U.S. 452, 464, 76 L. Ed. 877.) And, we are mindful of that court's admonishment that affidavits for search warrants "must be tested and interpreted by magistrates and courts in a common-sense and realistic fashion" lest police officers, who frequently draft them, be discouraged "from submitting their evidence to a judicial officer before acting." (United States v. Ventresca, 380 U.S. 102, 108, 13 L. Ed. 2d 684, 689, 85 S. Ct. 741.) In common with the most recent expression of the Supreme Court on this subject, we "do not retreat" from these established and salutary propositions. (See Spinelli v. United States, 37 Law Week 4110, 4113.) But we cannot sustain the warrants in this case without diluting the constitutional safeguards announced in Aguilar, and reconfirmed in Spinelli.
Accordingly, the judgment of the circuit court of Macon County is reversed and the cause remanded for new trial.

What would you like people to know about your zines?
I first started making zines in 2016 at the age of 51, though I had been reading them since the 1990s. The style of my zines is a combination of simple cartoon-style line drawings with text and collage, and the content is a mix of personal and political, including the aftermath of cancer treatment, living in the desert, social justice, everyday life, and dogs.
Tell us about a zine maker or zine that has had an impact on you.

As food goes in hot months, I grill a lot and I eat ice cream. I really eat more ice cream than I probably should.
So when I saw these Popsicles, I knew I had to try them. With the only ingredients being juice, yogurt, and honey- you really can’t go wrong and I don’t have to feel guilty “scarfing” down these.
Even better? Super simple to make.
- 2 tablespoon concentrated cherry juice
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup milk
- In one bowl, combine the water and cherry juice. In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt, honey, and milk.
- Using 3 ounce molds, fill 1/3 of each Popsicle mold with yogurt mixture. If you want strips, freeze mold for 45-60 minutes, remove, and add in a layer of cherry juice. Place mold back in the freezer until the cherry juice layer is set, another 45-60 minutes, remove and place the final layer of greek yogurt mixture in the molds. On your final layer place the stick in the molds and place back in freezer for 3-4 hours (I left them in over night.)
- If you don’t want to wait for the layers to freeze, do the layers all at once, use a skewer to swirl, place a stick in the molds, and freeze overnight.

On 9 June 1918, a young boy by the name of Hector Vasyli was killed in a shocking accident.
The 11-year-old Greek Australian often took part in parades hosted in Brisbane to welcome home the return of the soldiers who fought in the First World War, where he would wait with chocolates and cigarettes in hand that he had purchased with his own pocket money as welcome gifts.
But that day would turn fatal for the boy. While awaiting in anticipation, an oncoming vehicle swerving to avoid a car in the procession, hit Hector, fracturing his skull and killing him.
Despite such a short life, Hector, a newspaper boy, was well known amongst the community, particularly for his patriotism.
This year marked 100 years since his death, but the Greek community of Brisbane has ensured his spirit continues to live on.
Every year on Anzac Day, members lay wreaths at a stone tablet, located at the southern end of Victoria Bridge, which commemorates Hector with the following inscription:
“During his brief sojourn on earth he devoted much of his time to patriotic work for Australian Soldiers during the Great European War.
“In his veins ran the heroic blood of Greece, and in the breast of a child he carried the heart of a man.” | <urn:uuid:128e31d2-c1fe-4808-8f27-e7f27ec779f9> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://neoskosmos.com/en/116941/11-year-old-greek-australian-hero-still-honoured-a-century-after-his-death/ | 2019-07-23T18:54:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.987468 | 267 |
Josh Feeney, Shelter Photographer Extraordinaire
Josh Feeney is a full time real estate broker and avid nature photographer. He volunteers with Safe Humane Chicago (SHC) and Chicago Animal Care and Control (CCAC). Immediately upon volunteer at CCAC, Josh noticed the need for better pictures of the adoptable pets, so he volunteered his knowledge of photography and became the lead animal photographer for the organization.
Josh told us:
“I simply wanted to capture the dog’s personality through photographs in hopes that someone would be able to envision this animal beside them on the couch at night, or going for a walk with them outside. I absolutely despise photos of an animal behind bars. This to me simply focuses on the negative, half-empty side, instead of the positive. I also feel that we become immune to these cage photos because they are simply predominant to so many people. It is very hard for me to believe that most people will look at a photo of a dog in a cage and actually want to adopt that animal.”
It was while reading up on Seth Casteel that Josh first stumbled across the One Picture Saves a Life Program. Soon after, he attended one of our workshops and had this to say:
“I think that this program is amazing, as the simple instructions on how to use a camera to take pictures of a dog is not as easy as people think. Being a wildlife photographer, I am used to a never still subject, so for me this is a fun challenge. For most people who only take pics of their friends once in a while, there is a huge learning curve. I also think that it is fantastic that Canon’s new Rebel and a 50mm 1.8mm lens were donated to everyone who signed up.
A lot of people, especially in the animal rescue community, do not have $600-$800 lying around to go buy a new camera. As much time as I have spent photographing dogs, I have also spent a small fortune buying top-notch equipment which definitely helps. I can blow through easily 1,000 photographs of dogs in a week, of which maybe 50 are keepers. So this is definitely a hobby that requires constant upgrading to your equipment.”
When asked to share an adoption story, Josh told us:
“Just this week, as part of our 2014 calendar project for SHC, we video interviewed and photographed an Afghanistan vet who suffers from P.T.S.D. who adopted one of our dogs earlier this year. When asked why he chose this dog, he said that he saw one of my pictures of the dog eating a doggy cupcake, and it just melted his heart. That statement alone made my year. This amazing human being who has been through so much in the past several years from being overseas, god only knows the tragedies he has witnessed first hand. He even wears a bracelet in honor of a friend of his who died in the war. He needed something positive in his life. Each helps the other out in their own special way.”
Thanks Josh for sharing your story and amazing photos of shelter pets! Those inspired by Josh’s efforts can connect with their local shelter here and train online with our Learning Videos.

Colin Griffiths, Network Administrator for Wockhardt UK, based on the Wrexham Industrial Estate, said: “We look after the whole site here from a network point of view which is about 420 people across five buildings.
“We are a Good Manufacturing Company (GMP) company, which means we have strict systems for ensuring products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards and so there are a lot of procedures and policies to be followed. It means we do have high volume printing needs on a daily basis.
“If a machine goes down then it can cause problems and delays so the benefits of using a reliable, local company like Rawson Digital is that they respond quickly and get us back operational, often within a matter of minutes or hours, rather than days.
“The team at Rawson Digital are easy to talk to, easy to get along with and when they arrive, I feel confident that I can leave them to get on with it and fix the problem for us.
“Whoever you are dealing with, from the Managing Director Vaughn down to the person you speak to at the end of the telephone, they are all friendly, helpful and keen to do a good job for you.
“That’s why we were keen to renew the contract again and we are delighted to do so.”

The first actors in the world were city states, smaller kingdoms or principalities and these structures which were present in almost all continents had similar qualities. Throughout history, some of these actors have become more powerful and began to expand into neighboring actors through invasions, wars and agreements. All great civilizations and empires, notably Maya, India, China, Macedonia, Rome and the Ottomans, have histories that could verify this hypothesis. It is possible to observe a similar situation in the formation of the USSR and even the Eastern Bloc.
The age of empire was followed by years of dissolution which were caused by the loss of central power. The emergence of feudalism following the downfall of the Roman Empire, empires being replaced by nation-states, the emergence of new states after the USSR’s dissolution, and the division of Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia following the dissolution of the Eastern Bloc are all examples of the said fragmentation.
This situation could be deemed analogous to living cells, which survive through merging with each other or going through cellular division. However, while this is a natural process in the world of organisms, there are conflicts, transitions and systemic transformations in the world of states.
Power vacuum in the system
There is not yet a unanimous definition of the contemporary international system. In other words, developments occurring after the Cold War do not have indicators that signify whether this “cellular division” is over.
Considering the US interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq along with Russia’s annexation of Crimea and half of Georgia, it is possible to foresee that the era of division is over and that actors will move towards expansion. This, of course, will be through invasions, wars or coercion. Meanwhile, the “freedom” offered by the US and the “stability” foreseen by Russia has not led to a particular systemic transformation which will allow states to facilitate growth.
Currently, growth is only limited to the uplifting of a country, group or region, to a certain extent, in order for it to be able to cooperate with greater powers. This situation escalates the competition between actors which desire expansion and believe they have the capacity to realize it. Yet, none of these competing actors have the capacity to determine the fate of a region by itself. Therefore, major actors such as the US, Russia and China use force in predetermined priority regions. However, this force is not enough to prevent these rival actors from infiltrating these regions. This being the case, tendencies to disintegrate and divide stay relevant. Thus, as the powerhouses lose their abilities to determine a system, centrifugal tendencies escalate.
None of the competing actors have the capacity to determine the fate of a region by itself. Therefore, major actors such as the US, Russia and China use force in predetermined priority regions.
It is possible to observe the most glaring instances of these centrifugal tendencies in Europe. While Ukraine’s efforts to disengage from Russia, and the UK’s withdrawal from the EU through Brexit can seem as two different instances of separation, their reasoning does not differ from other disintegration inclinations.
Other examples of secession are not from integrated superstructures, but are instances of a break from existing states. For example, the Catalonia and Bask autonomous regions in Spain, Wallonia in Belgium, Quebec in Canada, Scotland and Wales in the UK, Trentino-Alto Adige in Northern Italy and four cities with a high Roma population in Hungary are some of the examples. Northern Iraq could also be listed as another instance of secession.
Common traits of secession inclinations
The aforementioned examples were either autonomous at one point in history or were granted autonomy with constitutional provisions. Yet, some of them lost their autonomy only to regain it later. For instance, the Kurdistan Regional Government had gained its autonomy in 1970, then lost it only to regain this status with the new Iraqi Constitution ratified in 2005. Similarly, while Catalonia became autonomous in 1931, this was revoked during the Spanish Civil War and Franco’s reign, and the province regained its status in 1979.
In almost all of the listed examples, the decision to declare independence was taken either by the regional parliaments or, as was illustrated by the cases of Catalonia and Northern Iraq, was a result of a referendum. While some shelved the decision of independent, others used it to negotiate with their central government.
Another commonality among these regions that pursue separation is that while they focus their independence reasoning on economic conditions, they fail to clarify the kind of economic system they will survive with. Generally, those that desire independence are “rich.” These wealthy regions claim that they carry the financial burden and that they do not receive services or have a budget in proportion with what they are taxed. Therefore, the economic reason of secession is usually expressed as “jettisoning.” Nevertheless, it is not clear how they are to remain wealthy after any potential separation. The singular example of this situation is the division of the Czechs and Slovaks as both sides willingly parted their ways. Generally, central governments take every precaution against those want to secede forcibly, preventing seceding regions from maintaining their wealth. This is merely the reason why the Catalans took a step back and why there is a possibility of a new civil war in Iraq.
Another common point in the separation process is the sociological motivations of those that want to leave. They first express that they see themselves different from the primary state and assert this difference through the utilization of a “different language.” Having a different language implies not only a different culture but further implies a different ethnic identity. In this respect therefore, the issue of independence is all about people of the ‘same ethnicity or race’ forming miniscule states.
If then these miniscule states surround themselves with ramparts in order to protect themselves from neighboring states, which would be likely to occur, then this will become feudalism all over again. Moreover, it is possible to foresee that this process could have larger implications by creating a domino effect.
“As long as it is mine”
This form of nationalism, which gradually progressed due to linguistic differences, has now entered an “as long as it is mine” phase. However, it should be reminded that there was a preceding phase which led to this point. This phase occurred with the spread of a consensus of the “other.” 9/11, Al Qaeda, Daesh and the issue of Syrian immigrants have consolidated nationalistic tendencies in vast territories, ranging from Northern Iraq to Central Asia, from Gulf countries to the US and from Europe to Africa, against the “other.” As was the case in the era of rising nationalistic movements, politics began to target the “internal others” right after it was over with the “external others.” For example, the separatist Catalans did not want to see Muslims first, then Syrians, then Roma people and lastly the Spanish.
While major actors in the international realm have a unanimous stance against the “external other,” it is difficult to claim that there is a similar consensus in regards to the “internal other.” It should not be forgotten that these fragments of states could only survive if they are acknowledged and recognized by prominent actors of the international system. If the principality of Andorra, which has a population of 70,000 is able to survive as a country right in the middle of Europe, it is not due to its own success.
It can be argued that separatists are aware of this reality as they are attempting to converge or unify with other actors.
It can be argued that separatists are aware of this reality as they are attempting to converge or unify with other actors. For instance, the administrators leading the Catalan and Scottish separatists announced that they want to become EU members right after secession. Those in Italy want to unify with Austria, while Walloons in Belgium and Roma people in Hungary want to unify with France and Romania, respectively.
Even though tendencies to separate are on the rise, it is hard to claim that the political conjuncture will enable these tendencies as no great power can guarantee that this process will not affect them. Only when, and if, there is a power vacuum in the system, a few of these new miniscule actors may be recognized. Meanwhile, these miniscule states might also be absorbed by larger actors while trying to enjoy their independence. Meanwhile, when there is a power vacuum in the system, the tendency to secede will become widespread and it will be possible to talk about a new “dark age.” | <urn:uuid:7dac1e96-54e1-4f66-be1f-c875c800d2cf> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://thenewturkey.org/do-separatist-movements-gain-groun-in-world-politics | 2019-07-23T18:31:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.96534 | 1,770 |

Last week I had a great time imagining my perfect bird house, where many of the rooms were turned into bird flights. But of course, for optimal health, birds need to have some time in the sunshine. Window glass and screens filter out the most important UVA and UVB rays, so outside aviaries are super important.
My doves, button quail, and zebra finches will have outside aviaries. The Indian Ringnecks and cockatiels will also have space. The conures may get some flights where they can be out during the day but brought in at night. That should be fun.
For the finches, a tall building with vines growing around it would be ideal. I will have good, professional pest control that is bird safe. For the most part, I won’t be catching up the finches so they can use the whole area to fly around. A safety door is a must, however.
The doves can cohabitate with the button quail, as the doves will use most of the upper areas of the flight and the quail will use the ground. In fact, I would need one enclosure per pair of quails. They tend to fight otherwise. Sometimes the doves get aggressive with their offspring, trying to drive them off so I can put the babies in a new flight once they are feeding on their own.
The Ringnecks will get a huge aviary to themselves, or if Orianna never accepts Charlie as a mate, she may go to another home to select a mate she likes, and Charlie will become a sweet inside bird. He was such a hit at an event I went to recently, drumming up new members for my bird club. I know he wants to come back inside if the lady never accepts him.
For the conures, the green cheeks and the orange fronts would have their own space inside a larger structure. As for Tron, the sun conure, he will need a small aviary on wheels so I can wheel him out and in without having to open the door while outside. In fact, with a few changes, that might become his regular cage. Poor little guy has gotten needier of human contact lately, but the only way he knows to get it is to jump to the ground from his cage. That gets the dog Astrid all excited and she tries to play with him. If he would just bite her nice and hard, she might leave him alone, but I fear she would do him some damage before learning her lesson.
Of course, I will plant the aviaries with as many bird-safe plants as I can find and not worry about the destruction of those plants. I will be prepared to replace them as needed. Of course, this idea of an aviary in a tree makes me question how the birds are put in, taken out if needed, fed and given water.

I hope the overall layout will look like a beautiful botanical garden. Which begs the question, who is going to keep the gardens beautiful and trim?

What’s this? Talk of talent show contestants on the writewyattuk blog? Surely not. Well, yes actually, because there’s much more to the story of Lucy Kay than all that, as your humble scribe found out.
Forget for a minute – if you possibly can – all talk of Belgium-based Blackpool dog-act Jules and Matisse, and cast your mind back to 2014’s Britain’s Got Talent final.
In that year’s hit ITV series climax, 10.7 million tuned in as five-piece musical theatre boy band Collabro won a showdown with Lucy Kay Allen.
And Lucy Kay – as she is known professionally – remains on a high 12 months later, while she prepares to showcase her classical vocal talent at Lancashire landmark Hoghton Tower next month.
The quirky soprano co-headlines Symphony at the Tower on Saturday, July 4, along with Brit Award-winning classical vocal group Blake, with esteemed backing from the Heart of England Philharmonic Orchestra.
It promises to be a spectacular affair too, closing with a firework finale, and it’s just the latest of several glittering career highs for the Glasgow-based 25-year-old.
But how did it come to all this for Lucy (who was incidentally still in her pyjamas when we caught up on the phone last week)? It must all have come as a bit of a shock.
”Absolutely! I’ve been watching the show when I can this year, and seeing the live semi-finals I was nervous. I know how it feels to be on that stage.
“I didn’t think I’d even get through to the semis, let alone the final. It’s been incredible.
“I realise it’s like Marmite – you either like Britain’s Got Talent or you don’t, and shows like that either help make your career or dream happen or have the adverse effect.
“But luckily for me, and quite a few others, we’ve managed to live out our dreams – and are still doing it.”
I confess to Lucy that I steer clear of most TV talent shows – although my girls have enticed me into the room for The Voice from time to time – but from clips I’ve seen, it’s fair to say this gifted classical music lover with the big voice is clearly no novelty act or manufactured pop puppet. You only have to hear her rendition of Nessun Dorma to know that.
“Well, I can’t really say too much, but first and foremost it is a TV show, so they have to make it interesting, throw anything in they can to make it emotional.
“It was an emotional time for me too, but little did I know how they’d ‘dramatacise’ it.
“In the beginning, I think people were put off by my sob story and wanted me to just go on and sing. I’d love to have too! They do delve about a bit … yeah.”
More of that ‘sob story’, as she put it, shortly, but I bet it’s been a bit of a blur since, Lucy having gone straight into a multi-album deal with Sony as the series ended.
“I said to Collabro throughout that week, ‘You’re going to win!’ I could see how it was going, with a lot of older women into them. Not so many men watch it.
“I was just so happy to come second. Then, soon as the show went off air, I was approached by my manager, who said we had a couple of record labels very interested.
“He said, ‘We’re going to choose which one we think is the best to go with’. I was just like, ‘What? No! As if!’
“I went for a meal with Liam Toner (Sony’s Head of Classics and Crossover), and he got the champagne out. I thought, ‘This is so weird!’ I’d never even had a champagne lunch before.”
There have been many more such ‘OMG’ moments for Lucy since, including her invite to perform at a birthday party for BGT creator and judge Simon Cowell just before her album came out.
Is she still in touch with Simon and the other judges on the show?
“I’m in touch with Alesha Dixon’s manager, so find out what she’s up to. And when I’ve met Amanda (Holden), she’s just hilarious and one of the most down-to-earth people I’ve met.
“Then there’s Simon – love him or hate him.”
Well, I guess we just see the public side of these people. It’s all too easy to knock them, and I definitely have over the years. But Lucy stands up for him.
“When I sang for his birthday, he didn’t know I was going to sing Nessun Dorma. He told me it had made his night. He was so lovely.”
Had she a favourite act on BGT this year (preferably one that didn’t do doggy tricks)?
“There are so many, but I loved the older guy group, quite jazzy. Then there was Emma Jones, kind of like a younger SuBo (Susan Boyle), very shy. She’s incredible. I really hope they make the most of her.”
And is Lucy still in touch with the boys from Collabro, who she toured with after her series ended?
“Yes, it was great being with them, and I did a few pranks on them. I’m quite mischievous, and so far they’ve not been able to get me back!
“They’re on their second tour now, while I’m on my first this autumn – delving into more musical theatre, a bit of jazz, as well as a bit of classical and the big opera arias.
“I like to get lots of genres in there, see what people really like. I’m doing a lot of corporate gigs, then Sunday at the Musicals at the Hippodrome in London.
“Then there’s Symphony at the Tower. I’m really excited about that, not having done an outdoor show before.
“And I’ve worked with some of the Heart of England Philharmonic Orchestra before on the Collabro tour, which was incredible.”
It’s fair to say Lucy’s been pleased with the success of debut album Fantasia, which was recorded with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and carries interpretations of 12 well-known operatic favourites.
“It did very well, getting to No.1 in the classical charts and No.18 in the main charts. I was higher than Paloma Faith, and I was confused by that!
Are you a Paloma fan then?
“I am. I love her to bits. She’s crazy!”
At times like that, it must all be a bit ‘pinch me’.
“Yes! I remember looking at the computer, seeing I’d made it to No.1, then Classic FM did a piece on me and made it Record of the Week.
“It’s all a bit odd. This Lucy Kay always seems more like a character to me really. When I’m just Lucy Kay Allen at home, I’ve got my ‘jamas on – as I have now!”
Well, that certainly paints us a picture. So when she turns 26 next Tuesday (June 9), will Lucy get Simon Cowell to sing for her at a special party?
“That’s a good idea! I’m going to the Download Festival at Donington Park though – that’s my birthday present.”
Hang on – that’s classical crossover gone mad, surely. Does Lucy enjoy a bit of heavy metal on her days off then?
“I am a bit of a metal-head! I went to my boyfriend’s gig last night. David’s in a band called Centrilia. They’re incredible.”
Who does she want to see most at Download?
“Oh my gosh – Marilyn Manson! I’ve never seen him live. Then there’s Clutch, Slipknot … oh, all of them!”
This isn’t just a soft metal fixation then.
“No! Not at all!”
That said, I can’t really see Slipknot sharing a bill with SuBo (that’s Susan Boyle, in case you wondered), whereas Lucy appeared live with the 2009 BGT runner-up while studying at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
“There was a Scottish tour she was doing and we had auditions to back her on I Dreamed a Dream and a couple of other songs. And I got through!
“She’s hilarious, so sweet, and has a really funny side. It was one of the most fun tours I’ve been on.”
Again, perhaps that’s not the SuBo some people might expect.
“She’s very vulnerable, and I think that’s what the audience saw. First time she met us she was quite frightened of singing in front of us, and doesn’t cope well with those situations.
“But we all made friends before and she opened up. Then you see that other side of her. I just hope people continue to look after her. She’s so lovely.”
Lucy knows all about struggling to fit in, as anyone who’s picked up a red-top tabloid in the past year and read a BGT story will probably know. In fact, quite a lot of those stories revolve around her troubled school days.
“Yes, it was bad, and I was badly bullied. And you have to be honest, because it will come out eventually, so I told them what happened.
“I’d moved from Leicester when I was four, to this new city, Nottingham, and didn’t really know anyone, and nor did my Mum.
“We had a different accent, and I just wasn’t very good at making friends. Also, Dad had left, and sometimes children need that stability. For me, my only rock was my Mum.
“I was bullied from around the age of seven upwards. It went on until my 20s, actually.
“When I joined the Cantamus girls choir, I was with them every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That made me unpopular and uncool, singing ‘God music’, as certain people saw it.
“By the time I was 10 or 11, people were saying they’d seen me on Songs of Praise. Well, if I’d had any guts I’d have questioned why they were watching that in the first place!
“But at the time I was frightened, and just wanted to keep my head down. People do anything to fit in. Some of those that bullied me were just doing it because others were doing it, thinking that was the way to gain power.
“So I went through all that, and my Mum didn’t really know what to do. It was just so painful. The reason I decided to talk about all that is that my singing helped me through those bad times.
“I think that’s important for young boys and girls in that situation – if you have a passion for music – or anything really – you’ve got to hold on to it.
“Whether you’re having a bad time at home, at school or anywhere, things like that can help. Music did it for me. I hate that it happened, but it makes you who you are.”
Is it right that your Dad’s been back in contact since your big TV break?
“Yes, but he’s always been there for a few minutes here and there. I think the loss of his Dad was a turning point – he realised what was important to him.
“He rings every couple of weeks and we have a natter. It’s nice. Obviously, he saw a lot of things written about him and that probably made him feel even worse.
“But I don’t think it’s anything to do with Britain’s Got Talent. We were coming into contact before. It’s just building bridges really.”
Lucy’s move to Glasgow came in 2010, and it’s been her happy home city ever since.
“I failed my GCSEs because I was hardly ever at school. I was either in the girls’ toilet or skipping school because I was too terrified to go in.
“Mum didn’t know that at the time, and was most upset I didn’t tell her about it. But I felt I couldn’t. I didn’t want to upset her any more.
“My singing teacher, Pamela Cook, who sadly passed away before she saw my success, knew there was something special there, and helped a lot with vocal lessons.
“Mum wasn’t in a position where she could pay a lot, so she helped out every now and again.
“There was also Elaine Guy, another singing teacher who lived around the corner and helped too. I re-sat my GCSEs in English and Maths then got my A-level in Music so I could actually move away and start a new life.
“She did that off her own back, spending every night of the week with me, never wanting anything for it. So credit to those ladies – they really helped me.”
She still had a big geographical decision to make though, with two other options available.
“It was either going to be Manchester, where I’d been a few times with the choir, or Scotland, which was more of a back-up.
“I wasn’t strong enough for London. I didn’t think I would have been nurtured a lot there, and I needed that support.
“But I went for an audition in Glasgow and fell in love with the city. They offered me a place on the day, saying, ‘You must come here!’ And I was like, ‘OK!’”
Has it always just been about the voice, or can Lucy play music as well?
“I can play piano a little, but I still need to work on that. I remember in one of my exams I had this big shiny ring on, and got distracted when the light hit it.
“I just got lost and had to restart and re-sit that year. So there’s a tip for others – never wear any rings when you’re playing for an exam!”
Five years on from her move north of the border, Lucy’s working on a second album, ‘a bit more classical crossover’, some of her fans wanting more ‘out there stuff’.
“There’s still another side of my fans I have to please as well, with more classical pieces, but others want a few covers and a few curveballs in there.
“I love Katherine Jenkins. She’s still my biggest idol, but she’s very girl-next-door. Image-wise I don’t think that’s me.
“I’m more into my rock, so I suppose I’m going down more of a darker angel side.”
What does your adopted home city make of your success? Are you accepted as a proper Glaswegian yet?
“Well, I’ve lived here about five years now, can vote here, and everything else. Everyone’s been so friendly.
“From the first moment I came to this city – once I’d learned what people were actually saying – it’s been lovely!”
And what’s your other half’s take on it all?
“David’s very protective. He managed me on the Collabro tour. Because he works in that industry he’s used to it all … and my little tantrums!
“He supports me and watches out for me, if a few people get a bit too close on tour. He’s a bit more cautious, rather than just flattered like me!”
Among Lucy’s other recent highlights was an invite to Prince Harry’s WellChild Awards evening. Did she get to have a word with the main man?
“I didn’t. I did try to stalk him, but there were too many security guards! Maybe next time.”
Talking of charities, it appears that Lucy has already forged links with St Catherine’s Hospice, the Lancashire palliative care centre and charity for Preston, Chorley and South Ribble which is behind Symphony at the Tower.
“I’m very honoured to be a part of this event, and why not use your voice – if you’ve got a gift – for a good cause?
“I also plan to visit the hospice again. Last time I was there I sang in the chapel, during my tour with Collabro earlier this year.
“I also donated to a guy who had a purple Mohican, raising money for the hospice. His spirits were so high and he was so happy to see me.
“I was just so overwhelmed with how bright everyone was there. It puts your own life into perspective.”
Will she perform with her Hoghton Tower co-stars Blake on the night?
“We were talking about doing Nessun Dorma together. They were already set to do it, and I said, ‘But that’s my party piece!
“We’re following each other on Twitter, and I’m looking forward to meeting them.”
So can we expect some of that Lucy Kay quirkiness you mention on the night?
“I think so. I like to have a laugh on stage. I’m very light-hearted, never taking anything too serious. I like to make people feel happy and believe in a real connection between the artist and the public.”
And will she be there to see Status Quo headline on Friday night at the same stunning location?
“Yes! I’m doing a gig in Ipswich on the day, but I’ll be there later. I’ve always wanted to see them live.”
So might she end up harmonising with Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi on Caroline or Down Down maybe?
“Hey, perhaps I could jump on stage and join them!”
Remember, you heard it here first.

The Devil's Dish Served Six Different Ways (chapters 1 & 2)
As soon as he entered the house Akil knew something was wrong. His father's jacket was on the chair in the kitchen and that wasn't usual. Akil was always the first to arrive home, not his father. School finished at three thirty and it was a ten minute walk along Woodstock Road to the shared house with its grimy threadbare carpet. Akil’s father, who worked in a factory five miles away, usually arrived an hour or so later. So why was his jacket draped over a chair in the kitchen ?
After checking for post Akil ran upstairs and deposited his school bag. The bedroom door was unlocked and his father’s work clothes had been placed on one of the two single beds.
"Akil ? Is that you ?"
It was his father's voice coming from the tiny bathroom. Was his father ill ?
"Yes, father. I'm going to the kitchen to cook."
"I'll be down in a minute. I want to talk."
The pots and pans that Akil cooked with were stored in a locked cupboard marked Akil and Hamzah. Three other people shared the house – an old man who placed his false teeth in a tumbler of water whenever he ate; a Portugese man who worked at night; and an Indian man who lived in the downstairs room that didn’t have a window. He too worked at night, in a petrol station, and usually ventured into the kitchen before he left at 5pm. "Why always you who do the cooking, Akil ?" he would say, leading Akil to shrug: "Because I'm the best" whereupon the Indian man would laugh and pat Akil on his head.
Akil began to wash the rice and trim the vegetables. He was the best at cooking because his father had never had any reason to prepare food. Akil’s mother and sister, when they were alive, were the ones who oversaw the family meals. They spent hours together quietly going about their work, comparing different spices and boning cuts of meat. But since Akil and Hamzah fled to England it was customary for him to prepare the evening meal. If he didn't cook neither of them would eat. Akil didn't mind cooking but he'd rather be doing something else - playing World of Warcraft for example. But the times when he could do whatever he wanted were long past. His mother and sister were dead and neither would cook again. Life was different. And there was nothing Akil or his father could do about it.
Hamzah hurried down the stairs, freshly showered and wearing his green dressing gown. He was a short, stocky man with thinning hair and a moustache. He looked invigorated and had used a plentiful amount of eau de cologne.
"I have some news" he said and indicated that his son should sit at the faded pine kitchen table opposite him. "How long have we been in England, Akil ? Can you remember ?"
"Yes father. Five years."
"And in all those years I have done my best, wouldn't you say ? I have provided a roof over our heads and food for our stomachs. Isn't that right ?"
Akil nodded. Something must be very wrong for his father to talk this way.
"We are integrated you and I. You are getting good grades at school and I have done well in my job. Even Mr Bristow, my line manager, says that I am a good and conscientious worker - somebody he can trust. This is our place now. Perhaps one day, God willing, you will return to our homeland but me, I will never return. And let me tell you that a day doesn’t pass without me yearning for your mother and sister. You know that don’t you ?”
“But our lives must be lived. What’s done is done. Fate has been cruel but we must endure, isn’t that right ?”
Hamzah took hold of Akil’s hand and Akil trembled as he did so, fearing that some grave news was about to be imparted. “Akil - I have a lady-friend. A very nice lady-friend. And I would like you to meet her. Do you object to such a thing ?"
Akil, thankful that his father hadn’t told him something much worse, shook his head.
"That's good. You understand these things. You are a man now. When I was twelve years old your grandfather sent me out to work. But you are clever. You're going to make me proud, I know it. Now, let me leave you to carry on with your cooking. We'll talk some more about this development in our lives. It is a development that will have consequences for us both. Things are about to change, my boy, change for the better."
The following week Hamzah’s lady-friend came to the house. The preparations for her visit had been meticulous. As soon as he returned home from the factory Hamzah had put on bright yellow rubber gloves and cleaned their bedroom. Then he knocked on the old man’s door and asked that the kitchen be off-limits for the next two hours. Finally he went into the shower for a very long time before drenching himself in a new scent bought specially for the occasion. Akil meanwhile had been presented with a bag of fresh ingredients that his father had collected from the market. “Make a nice dinner for her” he said “a dinner like we used to eat in our homeland. But not too spicy, mind. We don’t want to scare her away, do we ?”
She arrived at 6pm. She was bigger than Akil expected. Her arms were muscular and her fingers were chubby – not long and slender like Akil’s mother’s fingers. Her clothes were strange too. She wore a thin white jacket and matching skirt, even though it was cold and misty outside, as well as high heels that made her taller than Akil’s father. She introduced herself and gave Akil a bar of chocolate. Her name was Dorothy – “like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz” she said. Hamzah laughed at this – laughed rather too loudly Akil thought. “Hello Dorothy – welcome to our home” Akil said, exactly as his father had told him. In their homeland it was customary for a person to bow as a mark of respect when meeting somebody new. But Akil decided he wasn’t going to bow. He shook Dorothy’s hand and returned to the stove.
They sat and ate at the faded pine kitchen table. Dorothy enjoyed Akil’s cooking very much even though it was slightly too hot for her taste prompting Hamzah, with much theatricality, to fetch a jug of iced tap water. Dorothy told Akil about her daughter, who was older and doing her GCSEs, and said they’d ‘get on like a house on fire’ which Akil thought was the worst possible way for two people to get on together. After dinner Dorothy and Hamzah went upstairs and sat in the bedroom while Akil washed the dishes. As he did so the old man came in to the kitchen to make tea. “Did your father’s lady-friend enjoy your meal ?” he asked. Akil nodded. “She is bigger than my mother and has fair hair. My mother was a slim lady with dark hair who wore silk clothes. She never wore high heels to make herself tall. Nor did my sister.” The old man didn’t respond. He stood waiting for the kettle to boil before filling his tea mug and returning to his room.
Dorothy left at eight o’clock. She shouted goodbye to Akil from the front door but his reply was muted. When she’d left Hamzah walked in to the kitchen and congratulated his son on an excellent dinner. “Dorothy wants us to go on a trip with her during the Christmas holiday” he said “to visit her family. They live in the south-western part of England, next to the sea. Do you like Dorothy ?” he asked and Akil felt compelled to say yes so as not to disappoint his father. “I knew you would like her. She likes you very much. She thinks you are a good, polite boy. These are exciting times for us – exciting times.” And with that his father went upstairs to watch the ten o’clock news.

In an exquisite Renaissance palace, the famous Gucci brand exhibits the unostentatious travel articles and iconic bags created by its founder, the Florentine Guccio Gucci. Son of a leather-goods craftsman, Guccio left for Paris and London, where he worked as a lift operator in palace hotels. The luxury luggage of the clients captured his imagination. Back in Florence, he created his first pieces on the theme of horse riding. Then, just after the war, his Bamboo bag became a cult item…
At his death in 1953, his four sons took over the company and launched the famous green-red-green Gucci crest and the double G logo. Famous for its style, the brand, led today by Alessandro Michele and belonging to the Kering group, opened its museum, café, and bookstore. On the ground floor, you can peruse rare art and fashion books, while the top floor is devoted to the works of some of the most important contemporary artists of our day.

When one family found over 50% of their offspring were developing Alzheimer’s disease, researchers decided to take a closer look at the family tree and found that the family carried a genetic mutation that caused early onset Alzheimer’s.
Read more about the large family in Colombia who is now playing a crucial role in the search for a cure for the disease.
Family’s Genetic Mutation Could Hold the Key to Alzheimer’s
A family in Bogota, Colombia may hold the key to Alzheimer’s disease. The family’s genetics revealed, when tested, that the majority of its members have a rare genetic mutation which causes early-onset Alzheimer’s.
Dr. Ken Kosik, a Harvard professor lecturing in Colombia, noticed that the disease was attacking multiple members of this family in their mid-forties.
“When we looked at the family trees, about 50% of the offspring were getting the disease. That’s a clear signature of a gene,” Kosik stated.
“Rare Window” Into the Pathology of Alzheimer’s
Those identified as having the Alzheimer’s gene have been participating in a research study for over three years. Researchers have tried therapies on the family members who have the gene but have not yet developed symptoms, to try to prevent the disease.
Researchers are currently participating in a multimillion dollar clinical trial, which is testing an immunotherapy drug that targets beta amyloid plaques in the brain.
CBS News says the clinical trial and family provide “a rare window to see whether a treatment might be able to prevent Alzheimer’s.”
The studies are supported by Banner Alzheimer’s Institute in Phoenix, Genentech, the National Institutes of Health and philanthropists.
Researchers are hopeful the newest drug will stop the progression of the disease for those who do not have symptoms. Dr. Pierre Tariot of the Banner Alzheimer’s Institute, said the best outcome “would be [that] nobody who receives the immunotherapy experiences any worsening of their thinking or memory ability — doesn’t change at all, doesn’t decline. That would be fabulous. That’s a stretch goal.”
It will be years before the study concludes, but Dr. Claudia Kawas, a researcher from the University of California Irvine, said:
“If it makes a difference for them, I think there’s a reasonable chance it could make a difference for all the rest of the people who get Alzheimer’s disease.”
Do Alzheimer’s disease or dementia run in your family? How do you feel about the family in Colombia holding the key to Alzheimer’s research? We’d love to hear your stories and thoughts in the comments below.

"We all need a Sacred Witness in life, a person who can listen without judgement while knowing the right questions to ask that continually illuminate our path."
- Caroline Myss
Words / Mantras Of The Year
2019 : : Inviting EASE
What if it were easy?
Asking yourself that question honestly, sincerely, often - produces interesting physiological results. Sometimes you find yourself feeling angry or you sense a huge amount of resistance, it can be quite the challenging concept.
But the majority of the time, it is not actually people and circumstances which are dictating how we feel and how we experience our world; it is our perspective, our attitude, our outlook. The lens through which we view what is happening. And our ability to feel our feelings and allow them to pass through us, giving us whatever message they came to give us, and then move on. When we fear fear, or avoid anger, or deny when things don't feel right, things become more and more difficult.
I imagine inviting EASE will include :
- getting out of my own way
- catching myself when I am making things more difficult or complicated than they need to be
- choosing peace and comfort, and saying no more frequently to things which I tolerate but which I do not enjoy doing (my "Courage Over Comfort" mantra changed my life in great ways, but perhaps did encourage more self punishment and dedication to my own pleasure so perhaps now is the time to remind myself that treating myself well and choosing comfort is equally important - the subconscious is paying attention all the time after all!)
- And as every past year has taught me, Inviting Ease will undoubtedly show up for me in ways I cannot now imagine and couldn't have predicted!
Wish me luck!
As always, I love to hear your theme / mantra / word of the year if you have chosen one as your way of moving consciously through your life and cultivating the kind of life you choose and desire. To do so, scroll just passed my annual themes and you'll see the icon for dropping me an email. xxx
2018 : Cultivating Kindness
Inviting, welcoming and directing kindness towards myself.
Demonstrating, encouraging and focusing on kindness with others.
Allowing kindness to be my guide in all things.
Creating environments in which kindness thrives.
And always remembering to treat myself with the same gentleness I am offering others; knowing that such kindness is the foundation upon which I grow my new life and business, as I transition from a nomadic existence as a full time house and pet sitter, to living in a place of my own again - My 'Heart Hub Home' - growing my Coaching, Healing and Art business 'Nomad Dreams' ; a business whose core motivation is encouraging kindness (& intuition & creativity) while we navigate life's changes, challenges, and personal growth/expansion.
2017 : LOVE AND PASSION!
My new words found me at last! With the exception of 2015, my next guiding phrase has always come to me by the November of the previous year.
So I spent two years with Courage Over Comfort, (which was so very needed!) but then my usual timetable seemed to find me again.
In November of 2016 here I am adding Love And Passion to the mix.
These will guide me throughout 2017, while still holding close to my heart Courage, and Wildness and Freedom and Sparkle.
2016 : COURAGE OVER COMFORT
It feels right to stick with this one for the moment. As soon as something new comes knocking at my door, I will let you know... (Yep. I ended up with this as my guide for a year and half)
2015 : COURAGE OVER COMFORT
This works. I mean, really works. Yes I am choosing courage more often than I am choosing comfort... and maybe I have found my sparkle again too now!
2014 : WILD & FREE
Simplifying my life and hitting the road by the end of the year was *not* something I was expecting! Wild and Free much?? Oh hells yeah!
2013 : SPARKLE

Why should you use sliding doors?
The world of housing design has evolved, betting increasingly on minimalist solutions that make the most of the space of our home. Precisely one of the most used options for this current is the use of sliding doors.
It is a practical solution that guarantees the use of space. Its greatest uses are in offices, kitchens and bathrooms.
In addition, the evolution has brought with it the possibility of opting for two types of placement of these sliding doors: you can place them inside or outside the partition.
HEGOX’s commitment to slides is important, and is reflected in its large catalog and variety. The brand knows the growing trend of this type of doors and seeks to meet the different needs that may arise. | <urn:uuid:4a9bbef0-a2a4-47ab-809b-03d1249d1277> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.aramar.com/en/2018/02/19/swing-doors/ | 2019-07-23T17:43:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.951959 | 154 |
Enterprising Monaghan and Monaghan County Council will help bring the Monaghan Irish Challenge to life at Concra Wood Golf Club in October.
The Monaghan Irish Challenge will be held at Concra Wood GC for the first time since the event made its debut on the European Challenge Tour’s International Schedule in 2015 and will be backed by the community-based non-profit company and the county council.
Enterprising Monaghan was established in 1988 under the International Fund of Ireland and has supported the needs of the county’s businesses and entrepreneurs for the last 30 years. The county council is the authority responsible for the local government in County Monaghan, maximising and driving the economic, community and cultural development in the county.
Concra Wood GC has held EuroPro Tour events from 2012 to 2014 and now ventures into new territory with the European Challenge Tour as the host for the Monaghan Irish Challenge, taking place from October 4-7.
Eamonn O’Sullivan, Chief Executive of Monaghan County Council, said: “Monaghan County Council are delighted to support such a great event that will not only showcase Concra Wood to a global audience but County Monaghan as a tourist destination.
“I look forward to coming back to Concra Wood during the event to see the golfers take in the stunning scenery and tackle the course that will no doubt be a great challenge for them. I and Monaghan County Council would like to wish Concra Wood all the best for the tournament and I know it will be a success.”
Seamus Mallon, Chairman of Concra Wood Golf Club, said: “The Monaghan Irish Challenge is an enormous opportunity for our golfers to compete at an international event and we wish them all well.
“This event will be a huge boost, not only to Concra Wood, but to all the guest houses, hotels, restaurants and ancillary outlets in Castleblayney and the surrounding area.
“I have no doubt that the Challenge Tour is choosing one of the best golf courses in Ireland to showcase the Challenge Tour at its best.”
Minister for Business, Enterprise, and Innovation, Heather Humphreys said: “This is extremely exciting not only for Concra Wood Golf Clubbut for the whole county. It couldn’t be more fitting that we are marking this important milestone in 2018 – the year Concra Wood celebrates its tenth birthday.
“The government, through Sport Ireland, invests a significant sum in the Irish Challenge each year, guaranteeing starts for up to 35 homegrown Irish players. I am delighted to see State funding going to such a worthy cause both locally and nationally, as the golfing world watches Monaghan for four days in October.” | <urn:uuid:38ec8b73-b7f5-4331-839f-d40825b15ade> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.bizgolfsea.com/monaghan-irish-challenge-springs-into-life/ | 2019-07-23T17:27:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.941234 | 566 |
Turgay, also spelled Turgai, or Turgaj, region and former oblysy (administrative region), central Kazakhstan. The administrative unit was created in 1970, though a larger unit of the same name existed in tsarist times, and it embraced the western fringes of the Kazakh Upland and part of the Turgay Steppe. The main rivers are the Ishim, flowing north, and the Turgay, south. The climate is continental, and annual precipitation varies from 8 to 12 inches (200 to 300 mm). There are important bauxite mines at Arkalyk, and large fire-clay deposits in the same area are exploited. Crops, chiefly grain, are grown in the north, while the arid, sparsely inhabited south is given over mainly to sheep. The Tobol-Tselinograd railway traverses the region, with a branch line from Yesil to Arkalyk. Other cities include Oktyabrsky, Zhaksy, Derzhavinsky, and Amangeldy. The Turgay oblysy was divided between Atmola and Kostanay oblysy in an administrative reorganization in 1997. | <urn:uuid:07056be6-7294-459e-9b07-53750ff4e54d> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.britannica.com/print/article/689204 | 2019-07-23T18:27:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.946802 | 247 |

11 Spooky Poems For Halloween Season About Witches, Ghosts, And Bad Omens
October is here, and you know what that means: it is officially time to get in the Halloween spirit. In addition to watching horror movies, eating candy corn, and decorating your house with fake cobwebs and skulls this year, don't forget to read some spooky poems for Halloween season. Nothing quite says All Hallows Eve like reciting scary stanzas about ghosts, witches, bats, and bad omens.
When you think of poetry, what comes to mind? Most people associate it with love, romance, and heartache, but poetry actually has a long and rich history of being, well, spooky. From Edgar Allan Poe and Emily Dickinson to Rainer Maria Rilke and John Keats, poets have been penning spine-tingling stanzas about things like haunted houses, wicked witches, and possessed people for centuries. Halloween is, of course, the perfect time to read them.
Whether you are looking for something scary to read at your annual holiday bash, or just trying to get into the spirit of the holiday on your own, these 11 spooky poems for Halloween season just might be exactly what you need. But be warned: just because these poems are shorter than your typical horror novel or scary story doesn't mean they're any less terrifying.
1. "The Witch-Bride" by William Allingham
A fair witch crept to a young man’s side,
And he kiss’d her and took her for his bride.
But a Shape came in at the dead of night,
And fill’d the room with snowy light.
And he saw how in his arms there lay
A thing more frightful than mouth may say.
2. "The Hour and the Ghost" by Cristina Rossetti
O love, love, hold me fast,
He draws me away from thee;
I cannot stem the blast,
Nor the cold strong sea:
Far away a light shines
Beyond the hills and pines;
It is lit for me.
3. "Spirits of the Dead" by Edgar Allan Poe
Thy soul shall find itself alone
‘Mid dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone;
Not one, of all the crowd, to pry
Into thine hour of secrecy.
4. "To the Dead in the Graveyard Underneath My Window" by Adelaide Crapsey
How can you lie so still? All day I watch
And never a blade of all the green sod moves
To show where restlessly you toss and turn,
And fling a desperate arm or draw up knees
Stiffened and aching from their long disuse;
I watch all night and not one ghost comes forth
To take its freedom of the midnight hour.
5. "Portent" by William Carlos Williams
Red cradle of the night,
The dusky child
Sleeps fast till his might
Shall be piled
Sinew on sinew.
6. "The Witch" by Mary Elizabeth Coleridge
I have walked a great while over the snow,
And I am not tall nor strong.
My clothes are wet, and my teeth are set,
And the way was hard and long.
I have wandered over the fruitful earth,
But I never came here before.
Oh, lift me over the threshold, and let me in at the door.
7. "Black Cat" by Rainer Maria Rilke
A ghost, though invisible, still is like a place
your sight can knock on, echoing; but here
within this thick black pelt, your strongest gaze
will be absorbed and utterly disappear:
just as a raving madman, when nothing else
can ease him, charges into his dark night
howling, pounds on the padded wall, and feels
the rage being taken in and pacified.
8. "Bats" by Paisley Rekdal
unveil themselves in dark.
They hang, each a jagged,
silken sleeve, from moonlit rafters bright
as polished knives. They swim
the muddled air and keen
like supersonic babies, the sound
we imagine empty wombs might make
in women who can’t fill them up.
9. "Windigo" by Louise Erdrich
You knew I was coming for you, little one,
when the kettle jumped into the fire.
Towels flapped on the hooks,
and the dog crept off, groaning,
to the deepest part of the woods.
10. "Omens" by Cecilia Llompart
The dead bird, color of a bruise,
and smaller than an eye
is king among omens.
11. "The Eve of St. Agnes" by John Keats
St. Agnes' Eve—Ah, bitter chill it was!
The owl, for all his feathers, was a-cold;
The hare limp'd trembling through the frozen grass,
And silent was the flock in woolly fold:
Numb were the Beadsman's fingers, while he told
His rosary, and while his frosted breath,
Like pious incense from a censer old,
Seem'd taking flight for heaven, without a death,
Past the sweet Virgin's picture, while his prayer he saith. | <urn:uuid:3abe1d9f-6c2b-4843-8bec-b2a0bb29811f> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.bustle.com/p/11-spooky-poems-for-halloween-season-about-witches-ghosts-bad-omens-12140427 | 2019-07-23T17:44:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.925615 | 1,139 |
Subscribe To Mark Hamill Shows His Cameo From Kingsman: The Secret Service Updates
I've already subscribed
If you read Mark Millar’s graphic novel The Secret Service, you knew that Mark Hamill plays a small but significant role at the start of the story. In fact, he plays himself, kidnapped by mysterious thugs and brought to a remote dwelling on a snowy mountainside until he is rescued (after some witty Star Wars chatter, of course). When it was revealed that Millar was getting an adaptation of The Secret Service off the ground, word spread that he hoped to get Mark Hamill for a cameo.
Guess what? It happened.
At the 20th Century Fox panel today in Hall H, Mark Millar introduced a video message recorded by Kingsman: The Secret Service director Matthew Vaughn and everyone’s favorite Jedi, Mark Hamill. The actor was sporting a purple Hit-Girl wig and his Star Wars: Episode VII beard – joking that he really grew it out for his ideal role, that of George Lucas in The George Lucas Story. ("Fingers crossed [that I get the role]," Hamill joked!) Then they showed the scene, which is the opening sequence from the movie. Do you want to know what happened?
The next few paragraphs contain spoilers for Kingsman: The Secret Service, so steer clear if you don’t want to know.
Mark Millar made changes to the initial scene, so Mark Hamill no longer is playing Mark Hamill. Instead, he’s playing a character named James Arnold – though the rest of the scene plays out similarly to how it goes in the graphic novel. He is being detained by some heavy hitters. Then a spy arrives on the scene and eliminates most of the rival killers (in a stylishly directed action scene that has several bodies hitting the ground while a glass of whiskey is passed from hand to hand). Even though I have warned you about spoilers, I want you to see the end result. It’s just worth noting that Mark Hamill found his way into Kingsman: The Secret Service -- only not by playing himself. Here’s how it looked in the book.
Kingsman: The Secret Service ended up being the most enjoyable footage that I have seen at Comic-Con – a bloody (and bloody entertaining) spy thriller about a young recruit (Taron Egerton) lured into the "life" by veteran spy Harry Hart (Colin Firth). The action was lithe, the body count was high, and Firth seems like a bad ass. Yes, I said Colin Firth is a bad ass.
Plus, there are two Jedi in the movie. Wait, two? Watch it for yourself when the movie opens in theaters on October 24. | <urn:uuid:62526de0-996f-4949-be86-3516039d81e8> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.cinemablend.com/new/Mark-Hamill-Shows-His-Cameo-From-Kingsman-Secret-Service-66455.html | 2019-07-23T19:04:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.961276 | 567 |

While thousands ran the 2014 Boston Marathon on Monday, the story of one 2013 marathon bombing victim spurred a prosthetics innovation that will help amputees for years to come.
Adrianne Haslet-Davis was a ballroom dance teacher before one of the blasts at the finish line destroyed her left leg from the knee down. While recovering at Boston’s Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital she attended a lecture by Hugh Herr, director of the Biomechantronics group at the MIT Media Lab and a double leg amputee himself. After the lecture, Mr. Herr and Ms. Haslet-Davis connected, and Herr took on the challenge to get her back in dancing shoes. A little over 200 days after the Boston Marathon bombings, Haslet-Davis was able to dance the rhumba thanks to a specially developed bionic limb.
“We’re beginning this age where machines are going to fundamentally change human ability, physically and cognitively,” says Herr at a recent press conference.
Ask any amputee and they will tell you wearing most prosthetic limbs are no walk in the park. Many prosthetic limbs are heavy, passive (movement originates from residual limbs), and uncomfortable (due to stiff materials). Herr himself realized this when he lost both his legs below the knees to frostbite after a mountain climbing accident, and decided to dedicate his life to creating a better limb for amputees.
A bionic limb differs from a normal prosthetic in that it isn’t passive—it has a series of motors, springs, and algorithm-running microprocessors which propel the limb forward based on where a limb is in stride. It's all inspired by the body’s muscle-tendon structure and movement ("We steal from nature" says Herr). This creates a more natural gait, lessens the likelihood of osteoarthritis, and uses less energy to walk.
Herr and his team commercialized this type of prosthetic through BiOM, an MIT Media Lab spin-off company, and since 2010 the company has outfitted more than 900 amputees, including 400 wounded US soldiers, with the BiOM walking prosthesis.
This being said, dancing is far different from walking. When someone dances the rhumba, movement isn’t just up and down: it is left and right, twirling, and constantly changing. Due to this complexity, it hasn’t been looked at much in the prosthetics research community. But Herr stepped up. “I really understood Adrianne’s passion for dance and her desire to get back to the dance floor,” he says in reference to his own passion for rock climbing that he thought would be impossible to return to after his own amputation.
“I think after the attack all of us wanted to do something,” he says. “I realized our unique position, the fact that this lab is in the Boston area and the fact that we specialize in limb bionics…we’ve dedicated our resources to help out.”
In order to measure this unique movement, the research team brought in a local ballroom dancer, who was about Haslet-Davis’s size and skill level, to dance on what looks like a high-tech catwalk. The dancer had over 60 retro-reflective markers on her body. Cameras lining the wall of the lab followed her movements. Scales in the platform where she danced measured how the dancer interacted with the ground. This allowed researchers to track the angles of joint movements and measure the subtle interactions between body, foot, leg, and the ground, and create a description of the torques that dictate a dancer’s movement.
So how does this translate to movement when connected to an amputated limb?
“You can think of the dancer’s biological body and their artificial limb as a dance partnership,” says Herr. “The dancer is the lead of the dance and the bionic limb is the follower of the dance.”
At a recent Ted Talk by Herr about the bionic limb, Haslet-Davis demoed her dance ability and wiped tears from her eyes after a short, but smooth, rhumba combination that included spins, dips, and quick steps. The limb can also dance the waltz and cha-cha.
“I’m thrilled to have danced again," she says about the performance in a statement. “I was always determined to dance again, and I knew that I had to, that I would, and here I am. My first dance happening to be so near the anniversary of the marathon bombing stands as a reminder that I’m a survivor, not a victim.”
Though dancers have notoriously high pain tolerance levels, ensuring a comfortable limb has also been key to the researcher’s efforts. Many researchers have experimented with 3D printers to improve the price point and replicability of prosthetic limbs. Herr’s team on the other hand, is using 3D printers to print sockets in multiple materials that custom fit to each amputee.
“[The 3D printer] prints a prosthetic socket where the soft parts meet up against the hard parts of a person’s residual limb and the hard parts meet up with the soft parts,” says Dr. Elliot Rouse, the lead researcher on the bionic dance limb project, in an interview with the Monitor. “What that does is create a much lower stress on the person’s residual limbs, which reduces pressure sores and discomfort.”
While Haslet-Davis may be able to dance, and Herr has customized limbs that enabled him to return to climbing, neither would be able to run a marathon on their bionic prosthetics – yet. Herr says the technology enables users to navigate short distances quickly but doesn’t yet support the stamina needed for long distances. There are prosthetics that work in that way, which use carbon springs to store and release energy (which is what you would see when you see amputees running short and long-distance races). The most famous example is South African Oscar Pistorius, aka "The Blade Runner."
The price is also still prohibitive: each prosthetic costs around $40,000 and isn't covered by Medicare or Medicaid. Most of the US soldier's BiOM's limbs have been paid for by the Veterans Administration and Department of Defense, and a few others have been paid by private insurers. Herr is advocating for coverage to be extended more widely in the near future.
The next challenge for Herr is launching the Center for Extreme Bionics at MIT along with fellow researcher Edward Boyden, which aims to bring synthetic neurobiology, biomechatronics, and biomaterials together to work on repairing the body. Ultimately Herr wants to connect bionic limbs to the brain (“the ultimate supercomputer” as he calls it) and add sensory technology to the limb in order to transmit stimulation back to the brain. In other words, he hopes one day people will be able to feel through a prosthetic limb.
In the meantime, Herr and running activist Mary Kelly Persyn, have created No Barriers Boston, a fund to help those who lost limbs in the Boston Marathon bombings receive sport-specific prosthetic limbs.
Ultimately he hopes “we can really advance technologies that will give us a vision of the future where disability is no more,” he says. | <urn:uuid:9cecd160-f555-4470-9d74-43f4b4e4fb59> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.csmonitor.com/Technology/2014/0422/Back-on-the-dance-floor-Boston-Marathon-victim-inspires-prosthetics-innovation | 2019-07-23T17:28:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.953886 | 1,555 |
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin has ordered a review of the state’s execution procedures following the botched lethal injection that induced a prisoner’s fatal heart attack. The prisoner, Clayton Lockett, had initially won a stay for challenging the secrecy surrounding the untested execution drugs. But Fallin overruled Oklahoma’s Supreme Court last week and ordered the execution to proceed. Fallin’s review is being conducted by a member of her Cabinet, so its independence is in doubt. Oklahoma officials say Lockett suffered a vein failure, but critics say that claim could mark an effort to hide a problem with the untested chemicals. We are joined by Madeline Cohen, a federal public defender who represents Oklahoma death row prisoner Charles Warner, who was set to be killed right after Lockett, but whose execution has now been delayed for 14 days.
AMY GOODMAN: Oklahoma officials are refusing to say whether attempts were made to revive a prisoner during a botched execution on Tuesday night. Clayton Lockett writhed and groaned in pain for several minutes after a large dose of sedatives was apparently not fully delivered. After 16 minutes had passed for a procedure that takes usually takes an average of six minutes, officials drew the shades, blocked witnesses from seeing what happened next. Lockett ultimately died of a heart attack 43 minutes after the execution began. The execution had been put on hold for several weeks due to a legal fight over a new cocktail of chemicals for the lethal injection.
On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney reaffirmed President Obama’s support for the death penalty.
PRESS SECRETARY JAY CARNEY: He has long said that while the evidence suggests that the death penalty does little to deter crime, he believes there are some crimes that are so heinous that the death penalty is merited. In this case, these cases, the crimes are indisputably horrific and heinous. But it’s also the case that we have a fundamental standard in this country that even when the death penalty is justified, it must be carried out humanely. And I think everyone would recognize that this case fell short of that standard.
AMY GOODMAN: Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin responded to the international outcry over Tuesday’s botched execution by ordering a review of the state’s procedures for lethal injections.
GOV. MARY FALLIN: I believe the death penalty is an appropriate response and punishment to those who commit heinous crimes against their fellow men and women. However, I also believe the state needs to be certain of its protocols and its procedures for executions and that they work.
AMY GOODMAN: Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin ordered the review to be conducted by a member of her Cabinet. It was just last week that Fallin declared the Oklahoma Supreme Court had overstepped its authority in delaying Tuesday’s double execution until legal questions could be resolved about the new drug combination.
Well, for more, we go to Denver to Madeline Cohen, a federal public defender who represents Oklahoma death row prisoner Charles Warner, the man who was not executed Tuesday night after Lockett’s botched execution. Warner’s execution has been delayed for 14 days. Cohen is joining us by phone from Denver.
Thank you for coming on today. Welcome to Democracy Now! What is your response to what took place Tuesday night and what the Oklahoma governor says she will do next?
MADELINE COHEN: Thanks, Amy. What took place on Tuesday night was a travesty. It was the farthest thing from an execution in compliance with the Eighth Amendment that we can imagine. Governor Fallin’s call for an investigation is great, but there’s nothing independent about the investigation she has established. It’s to be conducted by a member of her own Cabinet, with the involvement of her attorney general, who has been fighting tooth and nail to keep us from obtaining information about Oklahoma’s execution practices and, most importantly, about the drugs that are used in those executions.
AMY GOODMAN: What are you demanding happen right now?
MADELINE COHEN: We’ll be demanding an independent investigation by a third-party entity. And we also have been requesting an independent autopsy. I understand that yesterday there was an autopsy conducted, but there is a practice available to do a second autopsy by an independent pathologist, and we will be insisting that that take place so that we have some objective assurances of what went so horribly wrong.
AMY GOODMAN: The American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma has called for an immediate moratorium on all executions, pending the outcome of the investigation into Lockett’s death. The group’s legal director, Brady Henderson, also issued a statement saying, quote, “We hope that courts will reconsider whether transparency about the drugs used in executions is required as a matter of law. … It is important to remember that the State of Oklahoma continues to deny relatively simple requests from condemned men to find out about the drugs that will be used to kill them. … If we are to have executions at all, they must not be conducted like hastily thrown together human science experiments,” the ACLU said. Your response to that?
MADELINE COHEN: I think that that is absolutely correct. And in Mr. Warner’s case, we have been requesting transparency for many months, as for Mr. Lockett, and we will be continuing and renewing our efforts to obtain information about the drugs. I think it’s worth noting that when the Oklahoma Supreme Court very hastily changed its mind last week about the need for a stay of execution and serious consideration of our constitutional claims, they said that the secrecy law in Oklahoma protects only the identity of persons, not drugs. And we responded to that by asking for more information about the drugs that would let us know they’re safe, effective, uncontaminated, unadulterated and were obtained through legal channels. And as late as Friday afternoon, the state had once again refused to give us that information.
AMY GOODMAN: Austin Sarat, the author of the book Gruesome Spectacles: Botched Executions and America’s Death Penalty, wrote an op-ed in The Boston Globe this weekend about the first comprehensive study of botched executions in the United States from 1890 to 2010 and documented the ways that different methods of execution go wrong. He wrote, quote, “During the time period covered by our research, 3 percent of all executions were botched, from the decapitations that happened at hangings to the 'high tech' electric chair in which condemned criminals have caught on fire. Botched executions have not disappeared since America has adopted the current state-of-the art method of lethal injection. In fact, executions by lethal injection are botched at a higher rate than any of the other methods employed since the late 19th century, 7 percent,” he wrote. Your response to that, Madeline Cohen?
MADELINE COHEN: Yeah, I saw that, as well. One of the things that’s going wrong in the current situation is that doctors, anesthesiologists, people with medical training, do not want to be involved in killing someone. And the manufacturers of drugs that are used to provide sedation and kill pain don’t want their drugs used to kill people. And so, the states have turned to increasingly, shall we say, creative methods and shady practices to conduct lethal injection executions with very little medical oversight and with drugs of questionable origin.
AMY GOODMAN: The mother of the baby your client Charles Warner was convicted of killing has previously asked for clemency in his case. Shonda Waller was Warner’s live-in girlfriend at the time of the murder. She spoke in a video at Warner’s Pardon and Parole Board hearing and said she morally opposed the death penalty. She said, quote, “That would dishonor my daughter. It would dishonor me and everything I believe in. I wouldn’t want to have to know about something like that, because I wouldn’t want to know that my hand or what I went through personally is the reason why he is no longer living. When he dies I want it to be because it’s his time, not because he’s been executed because due to what happened to me and my child,” she said. Madeline Cohen?
MADELINE COHEN: Yes. I just want to point out that Ms. Waller was not Charles Warner’s girlfriend. They were roommates. But she has called for mercy in his case, and she asked the Pardon and Parole Board to grant him clemency. Every time I hear the attorney general say that our calls for transparency in this process are delaying justice for the victims, I think back to her impassioned plea, which took an enormous amount of courage and compassion for her to recognize that more violence and more killing were not going to bring her peace.
AMY GOODMAN: Was Oklahoma Governor Fallin’s move to overrule the state Supreme Court’s execution stay illegal? Do you think then that the state Supreme Court was intimidated to change its ruling after lawmakers threatened impeachment?
MADELINE COHEN: Yes, I do. I do. Their stay on Monday of last week indicated that they recognized the seriousness of the issues and wanted to take the necessary time to give those issues serious consideration. Remember that the lower court judge in Oklahoma had ruled in our favor that the secrecy law was unconstitutional. And in fact she said in her ruling that it was not even a close question. And so, the state was appealing from that decision. And the Oklahoma Supreme Court rightly said we need enough time; we need to stop the executions so that we can evaluate these serious constitutional questions, a first impression. And it only took a few hours after Representative Christian introduced the articles of impeachment for the court to decide it had had enough time to decide the issues against us.
AMY GOODMAN: Madeline Cohen, where were you during the botched execution of Clayton Lockett?
MADELINE COHEN: I was in a nearby minimum-security prison with Mr. Warner’s family, and we were awaiting our turn to the execution viewing area. A great deal of time had passed, and I was growing concerned, and so I went out to try to see if I could talk to Mr. Lockett’s attorneys when they were brought back to the same area. And more time passed, making us increasingly worried. And when the lawyers did arrive, they were extremely shaken, and they told us what had happened.
At that point, I—and by—when I say “us,” we had an investigator with us who was in the parking lot. I went back into the minimum-security waiting area and told Mr. Warner’s family and my co-counsel, Lanita Henricksen, that I had been given information that Mr. Warner was not to be executed that night and that I was trying to find out more. As you can imagine, cellphones are not allowed inside the prison. So I then went back to the parking lot to try to be a lawyer and call people and figure out what was going on. Mr. Warner’s family and my co-counsel followed me out, because none of us wanted to be inside a prison if we didn’t have to be.
As we were standing in the parking lot trying to figure out this terrible situation and get information and provide assurances to the family that they would not be going through an execution that night, the staff at the minimum facility came out and essentially forced us back into the prison, telling us that we were not allowed to leave until we had been dismissed, and fairly aggressively ushered us back into the waiting area, sent our colleagues away and forced them to leave the parking lot. When we went back into the waiting room, they berated us for breaking their rules. But we asked for them to find that information, and they told us that they could not do that; they would have to wait for a call from—from the death area.
Several minutes later, a woman came in. We assumed that that would be our information, but instead she began to brief the family on what to expect when they went to the execution room. At that point, I had to step in. It was too horrible. And I insisted that she stop the briefing and go and call somebody and find out what was going on. And she did comply. And several minutes later, she came back and said simply, “You are dismissed.” So, at that point, we were able to leave and, you know, deal with the reality of the situation, which was, as you can imagine, both a shock and a tremendous relief for Mr. Warner’s family, and then proceed to try to figure out what had happened.
AMY GOODMAN: Finally, Madeline Cohen, the Oklahoma corrections officials said Lockett suffered vein failure. I think one of them said his vein exploded. Do you believe this explanation?
MADELINE COHEN: I think they’re trying to cover up something that has gone horribly wrong. Remember that the execution is done by putting IV lines into both arms at the same time, and simultaneous doses, equal doses, are supposed to be pushed into both arms, and those are supposed to be fairly large doses of the drugs. So I think it is not realistic to assume that both arms would have suffered vein failure simultaneously or that it would have taken the supervising doctor so long to realize a vein had blown, including after he had pronounced Mr. Lockett sedated. We have to have a full investigation, we have to have an independent investigation and an independent autopsy, or we will never know what went so horribly wrong.
AMY GOODMAN: Madeline Cohen, I want to thank you for being with us, federal public defender who represents Oklahoma death row prisoner Charles Warner, who was scheduled to be executed Tuesday night after Lockett was killed, but his execution was delayed for 14 days after the botched execution of Clayton Lockett. You can go to Democracy Now!'s website see all of our coverage of the death penalty, including the Tuesday night execution, as well as our 2007 show, “The Execution Tapes,” 19 recordings of electrocutions carried out by the state of Georgia since 1984, including the botched execution of Alpha Otis O'Daniel Stephens in 1984.
This is Democracy Now! We’ll be back in a moment with two young women. Both reported that they were raped to their university administrations. You may be surprised to find out what happened to each of them next. One a student at Brown, the other was a student at Tufts. Stay with us. | <urn:uuid:13e5086d-03cb-4c0b-a632-722d646d81b2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.democracynow.org/2014/5/1/lawyer_for_next_oklahoma_prisoner_set | 2019-07-23T18:34:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.98154 | 3,057 |

a solo exhibition
April 20th, 2018 - May 20th, 2018
April 20th, 7-9 PM
The Front Room Gallery is proud to present “Lost Utopias”, Jade Doskow’s decade-long photographic series documenting the remaining architecture of international World’s Fairs. These once iconic global attractions have left in their wake some of the most daring and unusual structures on the planet--- the Seattle Space Needle, Paris’s Eiffel Tower, Brussels’ Atomium, New York’s Unisphere---but often there was little planning for how these initially temporary spectacles would last into the future. In Doskow’s photographs, we experience how these provocative and grandiose sites exist now, whether tourist attraction, repurposed for less noble aspirations, or neglected and forgotten.
World’s Fairs often exist at a strange intersection of inspirational hope for future technologies and designs, braggadocio, and a (possibly misplaced) sense of global cooperation. The architecture—Space-age, Belle Époque, Victorian, Classical, Neo- classical, Art deco, Brutalist—might seem cutting-edge or sometimes outdated, but it is always outrageous.
Doskow’s “Lost Utopias” encompasses a wide range of locales and architectural styles, including New York, Seattle, Montréal, Brussels, San Francisco, San Diego, St. Louis, Philadelphia, and San Antonio. Often Doskow will return to a site repeatedly with years in between shoots, revealing the changes, both subtle and sudden, which occur on a specific urban site over time. The revered mid-century architect Philip Johnson designed the New York State Pavilion in Queens, New York, for the 1964 World’s Fair. Following the close of the fair, the Pavilion served as a roller-skating rink and then a concert venue before falling into disrepair. Doskow photographed this unusual structure in 2007, 2013, and again in 2017.
The New York State Pavilion embodies the impossibility of many of the remaining world’s fair structures: designed by a famed architect, existing on the periphery of a major city, but without the necessary funds to keep the structure functional for contemporary uses.
Other images present sites that are not as well-known but especially surreal, such as Victorian washrooms in Philadelphia constructed for the 1876 Centennial Exposition and an overgrown, prizewinning Moreton Bay Fig Tree, planted for the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition.
In “Seattle Science Center Arches at Night,” bone-white Neo-Gothic arches soar upward against an inky black sky, delicate Japanese-inspired lanterns illuminating the expanses. Through the arches one can glimpse the vertically striated façade of the Seattle Science Center, designed by the architect Minoru Yamasaki; this same façade would appear just a few years later in the form of the twin towers in New York.

Are you the next Iron Chef? Are you bedding a Master Chef wannabe? Do you or someone you know take cooking very seriously? Here are a few must-haves sure to tickle the fancy of the Iron Chef in, or near, you.
6. Sous vide circulators: Sous vide seems to be the new black of the chef world. With this technique, foods are cooked in a vacuum-sealed plastic pouch, at a consistent low temperature for an extended period of time. It may be bulky and pricey, but it creates magic.
5. Pressure cookers: The Iron Chefs need them to cook in a hurry, and they provide the same benefit to the ambitious (read: busy) home cook. Pressure cookers have come a long way from our grandma's models; today you can find them for the stovetop or electric operation.
3. Exotic ingredients: It's been said that your cooking is only as good as your ingredients, and for Top Chef-level cooking, you need a purveyor on steroids. At MarxFoods you can find everything from Adzuki beans to truffles to antelope meat, and you don't even need to leave home.
2. Vitamix blender: Talk about a work horse, this thing does it all. Blends, juices, purees nuts and can probably pull a rabbit from a top hat, should guests require entertainment.
1. Molecular cooking: Follow in the steps of Ferran Adria for a walk on the wild, or molecular side; this kit provides everything necessary to take food to new gastro levels.
One more: Sous chef - If everything else fails, offer to be a sous chef and do all the prep work for the hardworking chef.
Shop smart and eat well, my friends.

Richard Christy came in to show off his new bikini-ready body, explaining that he was "doing a lot of working out in the gym and running like 6 or 7 miles a day."
Richard also took the opportunity to deny reports that he'd given up porn--he's still a big fan of 'rope shooting' specialist, porn star Peter North. To demonstrate his devotion, Richard described the trip he and some of his friends once made to meet Peter at an appearance with porn star Jenna Jameson: "We didn't give a shit about Jenna, yeah. We got a picture with Peter and everything."
Richard said Peter was hawking a line of supplements that (supposedly) helped you 'shoot rope' loads just like Peter: "It looked like a vitamin store in front of him." Richard claimed he knew better: "I heard that his ['rope'] secret is eating tons of celery. Like, he'll eat 20 stalks of celery before a movie."
Richard and Lisa's Facial Conditions
Richard reported that, while he used to masturbate as many as 7 times a night, he now only pumps off once a week: "You ever get so worked up masturbating that you jizz all over your own face?"
Howard said he did not--and commended women who willingly submit to the act: "I've got to hand it to you girls." Asked if she'd allow a man to finish on her face, Lisa G had one condition--that he be a plastic surgeon. | <urn:uuid:0970c295-02c9-4069-b4f0-0b7cf3b2fb19> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.howardstern.com/show/2010/9/15/an-update-on-richard-christy-RundownGalleryModel-3438/ | 2019-07-23T17:47:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.985796 | 312 |

Easy Tasty Spicy Tuna Fishcakes
Most people use canned tuna to prepare salads. Some people even eat it straight from the can. Today, we want to show you a very tasty way to cook canned tuna. It’s called spicy tuna fishcakes*.
We use canned tuna in a spring water for this recipe. However, you can also use fresh tuna. When you use the canned tuna, you need to drain the liquid out, otherwise the fishcake won’t hold together.
For the seasoning, we’d like to use all fresh ingredients such as ginger, chives, coriander, red chili and lemon juice to make the tuna cakes nice and fragrant. If you don’t like spicy food, just leave out the chili.
These tuna croquettes can be served with our special lemon dip, which we will show you how to make below.
This tuna fishcakes recipe is very cheap and versatile. You can make it for lunch and dinner. It’s so easy and delicious and you will want to make it again and again. Who would have thought something mouthwatering and delicious like this can come out of a can?
Let's Ketofy It!
Prepare the veggies and spices: Chop the coriander and chives into fine bits. Grate the ginger. Slice the tip of the chili peppers and discard. Empty the inside of the pepper by scooping out the seeds and white portions with your hands or a knife. Rinse the pepper with water to remove any other impurities. Brunoise cut after washing.
Next, drain the liquid off of tuna and make sure it’s dry.
Add all the ingredients for the fishcake (except olive oil) in a mixing bowl. Season with salt to your liking.
Mix the ingredients together. Mold about a spoonful of the mixture to make small balls.
Cooking: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan. Place the balls in the olive oil one at a time then flatten them with a spoon. Brown both sides of the fishcake.
For the dip: Combine all the ingredients for the dip in a deep bowl. Stir to mix well. You can also use mayo or other low carb sauces that you prefer.
Serve the fishcakes on a plate with the dip and lemon wedges on the side. You can also include a low carb salad to make it a complete healthy meal.
Save this recipe by pinning this picture to your Pinterest board for later use!

Wedding Prep 101: 11 Things Every Bride To-Be Must Do
Every married woman knows and understands the challenges of organizing the perfect wedding. An infinite list of dos and don’ts. Deciding with your finacé where and when the wedding should be held, the guest list…and more.
Begin by deciding if you will need help planning your dream day. Will you be taking on this majestic task on your own, or will you enlist the help of friends or a wedding planner?
This post will hopefully help the bride and groom-to-be put things into perspective and start a personal to-do list, ideally 6-8 months before the actual day.
Figure out your budget
Most brides dream of having the fairytale wedding, but the reality is many couples cannot afford all the frills. A perfect wedding is possible on a small budget, you just have to establish what that budget is and work from there. Traditionally, guests may contribute to the cost by giving money as a wedding gift.
Choose a date
Choosing a date and working towards realizing the perfect day leading up to that point is the next step. It’s is not as easy as it sounds because many things have to be taken into consideration: time-off work, availability of venues and important guests.
Choose and reserve venues for the ceremony and the reception
Number 2 and 3 may go hand in hand because the date can depend on the availability of the venues, but once this is done important factors have to be taken into consideration:
- Ensuring the venue can also provide a rehearsal dinner
- Is it easy for your guests to get to the venue?
- Is there a hotel nearby you and your guests can stay at overnight?
- Will the venue provide a catering service (ie wedding cake and desserts included)?
- Will you have a religious or civil ceremony?
Prepare a guest list
Depending on your budget, the number of guests you choose to invite will vary. If the wedding is a traditional one, odds are, parents will have a lot to say about the invitees. If you have friends and family that have already organized a wedding, asking for their guest lists can help with a headache.
Life can be so busy these days, and once you have taken the time to prepare a guest list and set a date you will want people to know right away. Some have cards or fridge magnets prepared to mail off, but sometimes it is as simple as sending an email or a text. Other options can be doing it through an app, like this Save the Date App. Others may even set up wedding websites with all the info guests need to be aware of for the big event.
Choose your wedding party
Choosing the maid of honor and bride’s maids can be daunting. Perhaps less so for the groom in choosing the best man. For the bride, the choice is never easy. Will it be a sister, sister-in-law, or a best friend?
Will you have a registry?
Some truly underestimate the importance of a gift registry. Chances are you are no longer living with your parents, or are already living with your spouse-to-be. In this case, your home is already furnished. So unless you want to receive additional crystal cups and another set of plates you don’t need or like….please set up a registry. A good idea is to set up registries in at least 2 stores to give your guests a better choice.
Order, prepare and send out invitations
Like the save-the-date options, you can either send out traditional invitations through the mail or opt for an e-vite! Whatever option you choose will influence your budget, and e-vites can be really elegant and innovative as well.
Book all you need
- Don’t wait too long before the big day to book hair and makeup appointments as you will definitely want to try beforehand what you like or don’t like.
- You will also want to pick out flowers and decorations for the venues if the reception hall does not provide this service.
- You should choose a wedding cake and party favors/welcome baskets for guests
Dresses and suits for the wedding party, bride, and groom
What is a wedding without a wedding dress? Tastes will vary of course, but you will still want to wear something truly special on that day. It is a much longer process than one would expect, and you may not find the perfect dress(es) at the first store you visit. You will also have to take into consideration fittings, and searching for the perfect accessories. Specialty boutiques like Boutique de Mariage Punta Chiara in Montreal can certainly help and will be more than happy to give the wedding party all the guidance they need in the process.
Last but definitely not least is the ever so awaited honeymoon. There are many options to consider when planning a getaway, including if you want to have one at all. Some decide to take time off and simply enjoy their time at home for the first time as a married couple. Others prefer planning the dream vacation and traveling to Europe or Asia for an extended time. An alternative for many couples is organizing destination weddings and enjoying the after party with guests, by integrating their honeymoon in the process.
Organizing a wedding is not a simple task. There are a multitude of things to plan and consider. Planning ahead will reduce stress leading up to the wedding and ensure that every aspect runs just as you planned it.

It is good to be aware of what prophetic watchmen are saying about these times. However, we must each learn to hear the voice of the Living Christ for ourselves. The Christ that we serve is the same One who walked among the golden lampstands in the book of Revelation, giving encouragment and correction to those He loves. He is still living and active in us, waiting for us to step aside from our busy lives to hear clearly from Him. Sometimes, He will give us the encouragement and strength we need to carry on. Other times, He will give us the harsh words or rebuke that our soul deeply needs. Both kinds of prophetic insight are designed to cause us to mature and grow. In order to reach spiritual maturity as children of God, we must learn to embrace the rebuke of the Lord just as much as we embrace His divine favor. This is why the Psalmist said:
"Let a righteous man strike me--that is a kindness; let him rebuke me--that is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it..." (Psalm 141:5 NIV) We will be blessed to the extent that we receive the Lord's rebuke and recognize that His chastisement is actually a form of supreme love. However, if "our head refuses" to accept His rebuke, we will remain immature and infantile in our relationship with Him.
We are each His handiwork. Encouraging words are an aspect of "adding to" His work in us. We receive new infusions of life, love, light, and peace as we drink in the Spirit of the Lord. In contrast, words of rebuke lead us to a different aspect of the Master Sculptor's work, which is a process of subtraction.
When we properly respond to His rebuke through repentance and obedience, we allow the master sculptor to conform us to His image by removing the hindrances from our lives: This is a work of subtraction that removes the dross and makes us holy. For this reason, we should actually seek to "judge ourselves" and actively search out what needs to be removed from our lives, so that we can look more like Him more quickly (See 1 Corinthians 11:31).
Everything that God does (or allows) is for a greater goal and purpose which we often cannot see at the time it is unfolding. When the times of shaking come, keep your eyes on the prize. For even the worst "birth pangs" that Jesus prophesied, such as earthquakes, famine, and war are merely signs that the Kingdom of God is being "birthed" on the earth to a much greater degree (see Matthew 24) For this reason, we can actually rejoice when shaking comes because it signals a time of rising glory. Words for 2015, 2016, and 2017
For the last two years, the Lord has repeated made it clear to me that 2017 will be a "golden year" when the glory of the Lord is poured out beyond what we dreamed was possible and remarkable doors of opportunity are opened. This will be a year of unprecedented acceleration for the Kingdom of God in the earth, especially in the Americas and Europe. It will be a year to establish new ministries, acquire new property, and advance on every level. Every time I see 2017, I see remarkable doors opened, made of solid gold. This will be the year that the King of Glory inhabits His Body again because it will be the year that we actually open the door for Him to come in (see Psalm 24). When He "comes in the door" we open, He will teach us how to rule and reign from a place of communion with Him (see Revelation 3:20-21).
2015-2016 are designed to prepare us for these unprecedented opportunities by removing the hindrances that stand in our way. It is wise to prepare both spiritually and in practical ways for the shaking of the next 15 months. The economic shaking that has already started to unfold is only one kind of shaking--expect other kinds of shaking to begin in February and continue through March and April of 2016, including significant earthquakes and volcanoes. This will be like when the Israelites were surrounded by plagues and told to make bricks without straw. It will be harder to do things and we will see judgements around us. However, just like the Exodus, the Lord is allowing these things for the ultimate purpose of showing Himself strong and crushing Pharoah's power.
Expect a quick turnaround towards the end of 2016, as the Lord begins to raise up His army and His architects. They will receive marching orders and blueprints for unprecedented victories that will begin at the end of 2016 and continually increase through all of 2017. The central aspect of these marching orders and blueprints will be the key of David from Isaiah 22:22, which will open up every door (also see Revelation 3:7-13). As we learn to use the authority we have been given and apply it to worship, intercession, evangelism, and prophetic declaration, we will begin to see the kind of outpouring and harvest that many have dreamed about and prophesied for centuriues.
I believe that the reason the Lord has given me these promises for 2017 now is because some people will need to see the "light at the end of the tunnel" as they move through the next 15 months. I generally do not give words that are this specific, but I felt prompted to share these things for your benefit. I welcome your feedback, questions, and comments either on my blog or on facebook.
Many blessings, Michael

We've gone to one of our most trusted travel resources--mom travel blogs--for advice on traveling in style. Mara Gorman, Editor of www.motherofalltrips.com has given us her " Top Tips for Packing Light (and Looking Great) When Traveling With Kids."
For many years when I traveled with my children, I used them as an excuse. Why even bother to try and pack lightly with all the gear that they needed? But now that they are 9 and 6 and really don'??t need much (in fact my older son pretty much wears one t-shirt all the time) I realized that traveling with five pairs of shoes and jumbo bottles of shampoo just wasn'??t going to cut it anymore and I reformed my ways. Once I changed my attitude, looking good while getting dressed from a carry on became my favorite challenge. Here are my top tips for doing just that:
Three key words: Cardigans, dresses, and embellished t'??s. (Actually that'??s four words, but who'??s counting?) I love to pack a couple of dresses when I travel because they are easy all-in-one outfits that you can add to or subtract from multiple times during a trip. My favorites are sleeveless shifts which I can wear with shirts underneath during the day or on their own in the evening. Cardigans are wonderful because they dress up even casual outfits, can be worn with or without belts, and keep you warm. And I like to bring a few t-shirts with interesting details that go just as nicely with jeans or leggings during the day as with a nice skirt and necklace for an evening out.
Accessories are your best friends. You can wear the same clothes repeatedly, but with different accessories you'??ll feel like you'??re putting on something new each day. I never travel without at least two necklaces, two belts (one of them dressy and maybe even with a little bling for evening), and two scarves. And while we'??re at it, go crazy with the earrings '?? I'??ve been known to pack as many as fifteen pairs so I have different ones to wear every day.
Don'??t pack things you won'??t wear. This may seem like an obvious statement, but you'??d be surprised how often I get home and find two or three things at the bottom of my suitcase that I didn'??t wear at all either because I don'??t really like them, they aren'??t comfortable, or they weren'??t appropriate for the climate or setting (I do need to acknowledge that a certain amount of my time is going to be spent in parks and playgrounds). One way to make sure you'??ll really wear everything you have is to do some serious editing before you leave. I always lay all my clothes on the bed and make sure that every piece I'??m packing has a partner piece that I can wear it with. And once I have my piles of clothes complete, I always remove a couple of items because I know my instinct is to bring more than I need.
Neutral is good. So is color. My general principal is to split the difference top and bottom. Bottoms are neutral shades of black, navy, khaki, or white and tops and accessories have color. And I always bring a black sweater that can take me to the playground or an elegant dinner in a matter of hours and that won'??t show the licorice ice cream stain.
Invest in travel sizes and portable products. I can'??t tell you how often I'??ve traveled with full-sized bottles of shampoo '?? enough that they should revoke my travel-blogging license. I recently bit the bullet and invested in travel sizes of all my favorite products including makeup. I even found that the perfume I like comes in a travel bottle with a roll top that doesn'??t spill. When I travel I'??m also a fan of things that come in wipe and stick form '?? especially sunscreen.
Pack your most versatile shoes. I'??m not one for wearing running shoes while I'??m on vacation with my kids (unless we'??re going to be hiking) but I also don'??t think it makes sense to pack two-inch heels either. I try to split the difference and find two pairs of attractive, comfortable, low-heeled shoes that I can wear all day and still stand by nightfall. For last summer'??s travel that was a pair of flat, orange gladiator sandals that took me everywhere. I'??ve also been known to live in a pair of metallic flats. (And if this means you have to go shoe shopping before your next trip, well, you'??re welcome.)
Have a stain-removal plan. I'??m a huge fan of stain sticks and carry them with me everywhere to treat the inevitable handprints and stains that seem to accumulate like magic when I'??m with my boys. I also pack mostly clothes that can be laundered and try to stay in rental properties with laundry facilities or hotels that offer laundry service. Although in a pinch, I'??ve been known to wash clothes using shampoo in the sink so that I can look good and feel fresh the next day.
Take care of yourself. It'??s easy as a mom to think about everyone else when you are packing and then throw your own things together in a rush. With a little bit of planning, there'??s no reason you can'??t take some time before you go to make sure you have comfortable, stylish clothes that will help you feel great about how you look.
Mara Gorman has been traveling (stylishly) with her two sons for nearly nine years to destinations ranging from California to Paris. Last summer they spent two weeks in England with only carry-on luggage. She blogs about family travel at The Mother of All Trips. Follow her on twitter @motherofalltrip

Facebook's 'Press Enter To Comment'
It's often futile to complain about Facebook changing. However, sometimes I can't help but have a moan.
Facebook recently changed their comments system, and it's irritated me more than any other change. The new concept that you can simply press Enter to post your comment, has led to many a deleted comment, or hasty explanation. I know I could press shift+enter but it just doesn't feel right.
For me, comments are for reasoned and considered responses, which often involve using paragraphs, or line breaks, sometimes for comic effect. Pressing enter to send makes perfect sense within the context of Facebook chat, but not comments. | <urn:uuid:adb17471-69e0-4116-b8a0-65984c4ba2b3> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.newrisingmedia.com/all/2011/5/6/facebooks-press-enter-to-comment.html | 2019-07-23T17:45:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.976007 | 139 |

Executive summary: Bass player for Art Ensemble of Chicago
Malachi Favors is best known for his work with the long-enduring free jazz group the Art Ensemble of Chicago. Having taken up the upright bass at the age of 15, he turned professional right out of school, establishing his reputation through work with jazz luminaries such as Dizzy Gillespie and Freddie Hubbard. In 1965 he became a founding member of The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians and began playing in Muhal Richard Abrams' The Experimental Band. This led ultimately to his decades of activity in the Art Ensemble.
As with all of his Ensemble compatriots, Favors kept an active career outside of its confines.

Music archive of international importance
The Department of Music of the Austrian National Library constitutes Austria's biggest music archive, and is both a modern academic research library and a place where the most valuable original musical manuscripts are kept.
We hold music manuscripts, prints, librettos for operas and vocal works, literature on music studies, recording media and the bequests of important Austrian composers, and make them accessible to users.
The history of the Department of Music
The Department of Music was not exactly founded, but developed over the centuries from the collections of the former Imperial Court Library.
- As early as 1655, the library acquired valuable musical material with the purchase of Albert Fugger's library.
- Gottfried van Swieten, Prefect of the Imperial Library from 1777 until 1803, was very interested in music and played an important role in developing the library's musical collections through his friendship with composers such as Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
- An important acquisition for the Department of Music was made in 1826 with the help of the Prefect Moritz, Prince of Dietrichstein, who arranged for the former holdings of the Court Music Orchestra to be transferred to the Imperial Library.
- From 1920 until 2005, the Department of Music was located in the Albertina Building, becoming both an archive of Austria's most important musical heritage and also a modern academic reference library.
- In 2005, the move to the Palais Mollard (Vienna 1, Herrengasse 9) meant an extensive physical and administrative new start for the Department of Music.
- The historically most important collections are the music manuscripts, including original manuscripts by Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert and Anton Bruckner.
- Large choir books document liturgical practice in the late Middle Ages, while numerous copied documents, especially material from the Viennese Court Orchestra and historic theatre and church archives, are excellent sources of material about musical history.
- The handwritten scores, bound in white parchment, from the “chamber library” of Leopold I (“bibliotheca cubicularis”), and the scores from the time of Charles VI, all bound in brown leather, give a broad insight into the music played at the Viennese court, where Italian opera and oratorios were most popular.
- The Department of Music preserves the bequests of composers and performers, indexed by the individual or the organisation, and other archival material. Of particular importance are the legacies of Anton Bruckner, Alban Berg, Hans Pfitzner and numerous Austrian composers from the 20th century.
- Our comprehensive collection of about 8,000 first and early editions of works by the great masters, from Bach to Brahms, constitutes one of the largest collections of its kind in the world to be accumulated privately (Hoboken Archive). | <urn:uuid:39865fcd-ee19-4e00-94a3-92330cd5e9c0> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.onb.ac.at/en/library/departments/music/about-the-department-of-music | 2019-07-23T17:49:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.925764 | 607 |
Last month THQ declared bankruptcy and announced plans to sell to the equity firm Clearlake Capital. It was a troubling development for the struggling publisher, but if the sale goes as planned, it will mean they could potentially continue to operate, without the need for staff cuts or game closures. Unfortunately, the sale may not go as planned.
Distressed Debt Investing report that two objections have been filled in the case. The first, raised by the US Trustee overseeing the bankruptcy, is... complicated. Essentially her complaint is that the short timing of the sale and high reimbursement rate unfairly benefit Clearlake. The proposed sale hearing of January 10 and $2.25 million due to Clearlake if another company won the bid essentially block other interested parties from participating.
The second objection was raised by THQ's own creditors, and its motivations are far more obvious. Their problem with the sale is the way THQ management have arranged the terms to favour keeping jobs and ensuring the company's future over debt payments. Standard bankruptcy practice is to chop the company into little bits and sell each one piecemeal. THQ's terms ensure the company would be bought as a whole. Which sounds like a good thing, but it doesn't let the money-men maximise their profits, so obviously it must be bad.
"Taken as a whole, the bidding procedures are designed specifically to ensure that Clearlake is the successful bidder and that the Debtors' business will continue as a 'going concern,' whether or not such outcome would be in the best interests of the Debtors' unsecured creditors and/or maximize the value of the Debtors' estates," the committee of note holders stated.
The court hearing on bidding procedures is scheduled for tomorrow.

Museums are a great way to learn about our history and to explore the amazing inventions that have been created to make our lives easier and more interesting. Whether we explore our world through constructed displays, videos, or hands-on experiences, museums are a wonderful way to learn, to create, and to explore.
The International Council of Museums (ICOM), created in 1946, is a worldwide organisation of museums and museum professionals. This organization has over 37,000 members in 141 countries and is dedicated to “promoting and protecting natural and cultural heritage, present and future, tangible and intangible.” Every year since 1977, ICOM has declared a day around May 18th as International Museum Day. Their purpose in establishing this event was to convey the message that “Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples.” http://imd.icom.museum/what-is-imd/a-little-bit-of-history/
There are so many wonderful museums across Canada. Try arranging a field trip with your students. Be sure to contact the museum ahead to ask about fun and educational activities that you can arrange for your visit. Check out this website to see where the museums are in your province! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_museums_in_Canada
You can explore museums in so many ways that provide content across the curriculum in history, geography, science, and the arts. For this set of activity bursts, we are concentrating on Visual Arts.
Gather students and ask:
Explain that museums are a wonderful way to find out how people lived before us, how they live now and how they might live in the future! They present information in the form of displays, dioramas, interactive games and activities, videos and so many other ways! Museums can also show you the creative works of crafts people, artists and musicians. Sometimes art museums are called galleries. Ask students if they have ever been to an art gallery.
Tell students that they are going to create an art gallery in their classroom.
Provide a variety of mediums (markers, crayons, paint, construction paper etc.). Select some of your favourite music that will inspire some creativity from your students. Consider a wide variety of genres of music, from classical to pop, reggae, jazz, country, folk, rock, and more. Try more than one genre and see how the music impacts the art.
While listening to the music, students create an artistic masterpiece that they think matches the way they feel when they hear that music.
When students have finished, ask:
Encourage students to look at the art around their homes and in their communities and try to decide what the artists were feeling when they created these pieces.
Post the class-made masterpieces and invite other classes or parents to come to your “Museum of Art!”
For more great ideas on drawing to music, check out: https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/149674387592568671/
Note: You will need paper (white and other colours), scissors, glue, paints and brushes and a variety of other materials such as pieces of cardboard, felt, ribbon, buttons, etc.
Ask students if they have ever been to an art gallery. Explain that Canada has so many talented artists that share their work with us in galleries, museums, public buildings and our homes. Point out that artists can be people who perform as actors, dancers, musicians, writers, and other types of creators.
Explain that today they are going to focus on the type of artists who paint. These people are called visual artists. Ask students if they can name any Canadian artists. Share the names of some of the following famous Canadian painters: Tom Thompson, Emily Carr, Jean-Paul Riopelle, A.Y. Jackson, Alex Colville —so many wonderful Canadian artists from all walks of life!
Explain that one of Canada’s famous artists was a woman named Maud Lewis. Maud was born in Yarmouth Nova Scotia in 1903. She was plagued with arthritis that affected her hands, arms and shoulders, and at times made life very difficult. But Maud didn’t let that stop her from creating as much beautiful art as she could.
(Note: The text in this video moves fairly quickly so you may have to pause and either read aloud the text or give time for students to read it.)
Distribute white paper to each student. They will use Maud Lewis’ technique to paint a picture of something that is important to them. Explain how Maud used bright colours and a “layering” technique
Here are the steps:
Debrief the activity by asking:
Close by reminding students that art can be a wonderful way to express your feelings and enjoy the world around you, even if it isn’t always easy!
Ask students if they have ever been to a museum. Share responses, asking for clarification about type of museum, the location, theme, etc.
Explain that museums are a wonderful way to learn about history, people, inventions, science and nature. Tell students that today, they are going to do an activity related to a unique type of museum called an art gallery.
Share any information or experiences they may have had in an art gallery.
Explain that Canada has many visual artists, each with their own individual style. They may use charcoal, acrylics, water colours, oils or a combination of many different mediums. They may be painters or sculptors or print-makers. They sometimes have a theme that is seen throughout their work. It might be nature, or movement, or history or personal experience—anything that interests them. Artists may also create abstract work, meaning works that express the artist’s feelings or emotions, using shapes, forms, colours, and textures.
Share samples of Canadian abstract art (e.g., try an online image search with the keywords “Canadian abstract art”).
Challenge students to create their own abstract artwork. Provide paper, art supplies, and other materials such as string, pieces of fabric, twigs, glue, ribbon, etc.
When they have finished, ask each student to name their artwork and to explain what emotions, thoughts or feelings it was intended to convey to the viewer. Frame and post the pieces and invite other classes or parents to visit their gallery of abstract art.
Close by reminding students that there are many forms of visual arts and that it is interesting to learn about the different types before visiting an art gallery so that you can appreciate each style.
You may also find it helpful to view online video tutorials on various abstract art techniques suitable for young people.

The U.S. Conference of Mayors backed Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's proposal to use federal funds to complete a dozen major Los Angeles County transportation projects.
A resolution introduced by Villaraigosa at the conference's annual meeting in Oklahoma City was approved unanimously.
Villaraigosa's proposal — dubbed the 30/10 initiative — calls for rapidly accelerating the construction of $18.5 billion worth of transportation projects, including a portion of the so-called "Subway to the Sea.''
Under the original plan, those transportation projects would be funded through Measure R, a voter-approved half-cent sales tax, over 30 years.
Villaraigosa said the transportation projects could be completed in just 10 years with funding from the federal government.
In a statement issued from Oklahoma City, the mayor said "30/10 doesn't fit neatly into any existing federal infrastructure financing program, so an innovative funding package is needed.''
"We're not asking for a handout because we have local funds to pay (it) back over time through a local-federal partnership,'' he said.
"Mayors from all around the country told me they see that 30/10 could be a national financing model to enable them to build and finance their own transportation projects,'' Villaraigosa added.
His resolution calls on the federal government to establish a national bond subsidy and direct loan program.
According to Villaraigosa, finishing the projects in 10 years would create 165,000 construction jobs and at least 2,800 permanent operations and maintenance jobs.
He said it would also eliminate more than a half-million pounds of emissions; save 10.3 million gallons of gasoline; and expand transit boardings by 77 million during each year of that decade.
The projects are:
- the Orange Line Canoga Extension, which is already under construction;
- the Westside Subway Extension, a portion of the so-called Subway to the Sea;
- a Regional Connector that will link several light rail lines passing through downtown Los Angeles;
- the Crenshaw corridor transit project;
- the Foothill Extension of the Metro Gold Line;
- Phase 2 of the Expo light rail line on the Westside;
- the Green Line connection to Los Angeles International Airport;
- the Green Line connection to South Bay;
- the San Fernando Valley 405 corridor connection;
- the West Santa Ana branch corridor;
- the San Fernando Valley North-South Rapidways; and
- the Eastside Extension to El Monte or Whittier. | <urn:uuid:2f9e12a0-f6d5-4065-97df-0a64cdbc65b2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.scpr.org/news/2010/06/14/16179/transportation-projects/ | 2019-07-23T18:36:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.91974 | 524 |
Due to the warm weather, the week began with Sauvignon Blanc that we decided to pick a little earlier than usual to maintain the flavour intensity. Our favourite block was picked in the cool, early hours of the morning and then chilled in lug boxes overnight to maximise the flavours. The Sauvignon Blanc yield was much smaller than last year, ranging from 6% to 49% less, which is obviously a huge loss. The one block of Sauvignon Blanc only yielded 3.5 tons per hectare!
The last of the Pinot Noir came in from the cooler regions of Elgin and Darling, demonstrating again the benefits of these cooler areas in the Kaapse Vonkel cuvée. The natural acidity was well preserved and the aromas are excitingly intense. Chardonnay for Cap Classique also finished on Thursday – to everyone’s relief. The pressing of whole bunches for Kaapse Vonkel and Cuvée Royale Blanc de Blancs is a very intense stage of the harvest and takes a lot of detailed attention, but if you do it well you are rewarded with excellent base wines.
The Pinotages ripened in full force and the sugar levels increased at a rate of knots due to the warm weather. This caught us by surprise. The extremely low crop in the Redhill vineyard definitely played a role in the sudden jump in ripeness, however at inspection of the fermenting wine, it shows big colour and excellent concentration of fruit. We were amazed at how fresh and vigorous the vines looked, despite getting very little of its normal water. A vine is not called ‘The Mediterranean Weed” for nothing!
The week ended with superb quality Chardonnay coming in at 23 to 24 °Balling with high natural acidity and lovely tropical fruit flavours. Chardonnay can make very ripe flavourful white wines in a warmer season. The trend of lower yield also affected the Chardonnay with the quantity down up to 20% on last year.
The week ended with a little bit of rain on Friday. Despite our optimism and the weather forecast of good rain it fizzled out and eventually only 5 – 8 mm was measured. It will not bring significant relief, but it helps to cool everything down. It dried off too quickly to cause grey rot, which is always a risk during a wet period.

Uni- calling for us to lose "slowly and painfully" is your choice, but you have a weird moral high ground for sandbagging in open and then shitting on open players
Virgil- for people that at least "have a shot" you were exactly 1 seed above us and had the same record against Uni's team with a 5-1. I can't help the spirit of my teammates but I can say if we're going to lose, we won't lose without a fight
people, if you willingly sign up for a league with default times and then get very upset because teams can't make these default times, I can't help you. I personally took a day off to make sure I could make this match, and we hadn't been able to scrim almost at all for that week or the weekend after because of the jobs exer, hanfu and I had that made it hard to schedule around. if you still choose to shit on me past this point, more power to you, I couldn't care less.if you have any questions or are looking to shit on me more, add me and we will talk about it privately. | <urn:uuid:2c0ac330-5522-4a03-a5d4-0d3767b707be> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.teamfortress.tv/user/Antlers | 2019-07-23T18:30:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.984735 | 265 |
Cute aunties sing chorus of a Katy Perry song, in Hokkien
If you have always wanted to hear a Katy Perry song being sung in Hokkien, well today is the day.
At the start of the 30-second clip, three cute aunties wearing cheongsam gets introduced as "Singapore's newest girl band".
As they wave around their red feather boas, they sing a Hokkien song that sounds suspiciously like Katy Perry's 2013 hit, "Roar".
The highlight of the video definitely comes halfway through.
Roarrrrr. Absolutely Priceless.
Like the Easter eggs that have become the norm at the end Marvel movies, they also managed to give us an Easter egg at the end of this short clip.
The video was uploaded on YouTube by music service AMPed in early July as part of a contest which they are running.
The contest ends at the end of August and the winner of the contest will win concert tickets to catch Katy Perry perform live in Los Angeles on Sept 19.
Attractive as that sounds, we think that they should also include the opportunity to take a selfie with these gutsy ladies.

A recent Comcare claim Reconsideration and Appeal to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal… determined on 29 April 2016
The Applicant is female, aged 35, was employed by the Respondent, which operated a freight company, between 2006 and 2014. The Applicant is currently unemployed and receives Centrelink benefits.
On 12 August 2014, the Applicant was involved in an accident at work while she was driving a forklift on her employer’s premises in Kewdale, Western Australia. It is not disputed that the Applicant hit a colleague while driving the forklift and that the colleague suffered a serious leg fracture.
The Applicant claimed she left the premises about an hour after the accident as she was “shaken and upset”.
On 13 August 2014, the Applicant saw Dr Jeff Veling. On 19 August 2014, the Applicant was seen by Dr Simon O’Connell. On 20 August 2014, the Applicant was seen by Dr Rachel Harris.
The Applicant stated that all of these appointments were necessary because she was suffering “stress and anxiety” arising out of the accident.
On 20 August 2014, Dr Harris provided a workers’ compensation certificate to the Applicant and she lodged a workers’ compensation claim with her employer claiming “stress and anxiety” arising out of the accident pursuant to section 14 of the Safety, Rehabilitation Act 1988 (the “SRC Act”).
On 18 September 2014, the employer made a determination that it was not liable to pay compensation to the Applicant on account of stress for the injuries she suffered as a result of the forklift incident. The stated reason for this was that her stress related injury was caused by her own “serious and wilful misconduct” while driving the forklift and because the Applicant submitted to an abnormal risk of injury while driving the forklift as she did when she hit her colleague.
The Applicant requested the employer reconsider its decision which it did on 31 October 2014, affirming its original Determination.
Before the AAT, the employer conceded that the Applicant suffered a stress related injury within the meaning of section 5A of the SRC Act. Further, it was accepted that employment with the employer was a significant contributing factor.
At the hearing of this Appeal, the only issue the AAT was required to determine was: did the Applicant’s injury result from her own “serious and wilful” conduct, thus rendering the employer not liable to compensate her?
The evidence before the AAT
This matter was heard over one day.
In addition to the documents noted below, the AAT was assisted by a thorough set of T documents comprising over 450 pages.
The T documents contained a considerable number of medical documents.
The AAT also received a set of colour photographs of the accident scene.
The Applicant gave oral evidence before the AAT, as did her former supervisor. It was not necessary for the AAT to hear from medical expert witnesses.
Prior to the hearing both parties submitted a Statement of Facts, Issues and Contentions.
The decision of the AAT
The AAT set aside the decision under review and, in substitution therefor, decided that the employer is liable to pay compensation to the Applicant in accordance with section 14 of the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 in respect of a stress related injury sustained on the 12 August 2014.
The AAT ordered the Applicant’s claim be remitted to the employer for assessment of the amount payable to the Applicant on the basis of the decision of the AAT. | <urn:uuid:09abdb3c-b2ed-4ff7-abf6-e98430fd43b2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.turnbullhill.com.au/articles/a-recent-comcare-claim-reconsideration-and-appeal-to-the-administrative-appeals-tribunal/ | 2019-07-23T17:27:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.973331 | 725 |
Brand Source Service (BSS), the 2-year-old service division of the Brand Source buying group, has aligned with majap parts supplier Marcone Supply and has added its 285th member.
According to BSS director J.R. Zirkelbach, the buying group's servicing arm, has aligned with Marcone and its Picture Perfect Service Network (PPSN), which is comprised of service companies that have “demonstrated high scores in key performance indicators and displayed other marks of professionalism with manufacturers and consumers.”
The alignment extends BSS's relationship with Marcone, which began last year when the Brand Source division partnered with Marcone's trade group, Marcone Servicers Association (MSA), for a joint convention and training tour.
Brand Source, the $11 billion home furnishings buying group, created BSS in 2006 to support its servicing dealers and provide manufacturers with an alternative to existing national service organizations.
Membership, comprised of independent servicers and Brand Source dealers that perform their own repairs on major appliance and CE products, recently reached 285. Zirkelbach said reaching that milestone will further the group's goal of knitting the members into a marketable, national service network.
BSS is being marketed direct to consumers through newspaper inserts and will be touted on Brand Source's soon-to-be re-launched consumer site, BrandSource.com. The division also maintains a toll-free phone number for consumers: (877) GO-BRAND. | <urn:uuid:05ab22a9-0fb0-4a64-8f99-1c17b622e37c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.twice.com/retailing/brand-source-service-inks-marcone-adds-285th-member-5981 | 2019-07-23T18:30:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.950074 | 307 |
Enhancements to XBRL Business Validation Rules
The XBRL International Standards Board has approved a draft of the Assertion Sets 2.0 specification, a modular extension to the XBRL Formula specification.
XBRL Formula provides a powerful mechanism for embedding business validation rules in an XBRL taxonomy, helping to ensure data quality in reports. It is common that in a large taxonomy there will be groups of rules that are only relevant to certain types of report, or only applicable if a certain conditions are met. The Assertion Sets specification provides a way for taxonomy authors to create groupings of rules and to define the dependencies between them. This provides a powerful mechanism for controlling the execution of rules. It is expected that this new specification will also offer performance benefits by avoiding the evaluation of irrelevant rules.
The Formula Working Group is seeking comments on this Public Working Draft, which is available here. | <urn:uuid:9664ad23-a94f-4f49-8b86-225bea0aab7a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.xbrl.org/news/enhancements-to-xbrl-business-validation-rules/ | 2019-07-23T18:16:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.91629 | 189 |
Gene editing may be the future of cholesterol-lowering treatment.
Most people with hypercholesterolemia take statins to treat their condition, but for others, these drugs are not enough to lower their cholesterol.
According to some research, 1 in 7 people with inherited hypercholesterolemia might have to resort to another type of drug called PCSK9 inhibitors.
However, treatment with PCSK9 inhibitors may often be inconvenient because it requires repeated injections, and some patients simply do not tolerate the drug.
For these people, gene editing may be the solution, according to new research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
The new study — led by first author Lili Wang, Ph.D., a research associate professor of medicine at the university — shows that genome editing can lower cholesterol levels in rhesus monkeys.
Cholesterol lowered by 30–60 percent
In a healthy body, the PCSK9 gene breaks down low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors that are responsible for removing excess cholesterol from our blood.
PCSK9 inhibitors help to lower levels of LDL, or "bad," cholesterol. But for people who do not tolerate these drugs, Wang and colleagues have found a workaround.
"Most often," explains Wang, "these patients are treated with repeated injections of an antibody to PCSK9 [...]."
"But, our study shows that with successful genome editing, patients who cannot tolerate inhibitor drugs might no longer need this type of repeat treatment."
The researchers designed an enzyme that targets and deactivates the PCSK9 gene. They used an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector to transport this enzyme into the monkeys' livers. The liver carries most of the responsibility for removing excessive cholesterol.
Animals that received the treatment were found to have lower PCSK9 and LDL cholesterol levels.
Specifically, the middle and high doses of the treatment decreased PCSK9 levels by 45–84 percent and cholesterol levels by 30–60 percent.
These AAV vector doses were previously shown to be safe and effective in human clinical trials of gene replacement therapy for treating hemophilia.
"Our initial work with several delivery and editing approaches," notes senior study author Dr. James M. Wilson, who is the director of the Gene Therapy Program at the university, "produced the most impressive data in nonhuman primates when we paired AAV for delivery with the engineered [enzyme] for editing."
"We leveraged," he goes on to say, "our 30-plus years of experience in gene therapy to progress the translational science of in vivo genome editing, and in doing so, reinforced the importance of early studies in nonhuman primates to assess safety and efficacy." | <urn:uuid:8dda5e00-4a23-4baa-9bd4-2abf6149a8ce> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://yourpanicattacks.com/articles/322406.php | 2019-07-23T17:28:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529481.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723172209-20190723194209-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.948773 | 563 |
Boris Johnson has been urged to back a United Nations initiative to restart efforts to rid the world of nuclear weapons.
Groups including Greenpeace UK, CND, and Quakers in Britain wrote to the Foreign Secretary to ask him to back tomorrow’s UN general assembly motion on multilateral disarmament.
In August this year a UN working group recommended the setting up of “a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination”.
In September Austria’s government announced that it would sponsor a UN resolution recommending such a conference, with a general assembly vote now due on the subject.
The groups, organised by the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, say it is not clear which way the UK will vote. Activists delivered a letter to the Foreign Office urging Mr Johnson to direct the UK to back the motion.
“The existence of nuclear weapons poses a dangerous threat to global security; any intended or unintended detonation will have catastrophic humanitarian and environmental consequences,” the signatories say.
“The international community has already outlawed other inherently inhumane and indiscriminate weapons, from chemical and biological weapons to antipersonnel landmines and cluster munitions.
“A ban on nuclear weapons is long overdue – and the UK must be part of that process.”
Dr Matthew Rowland, the UN’s permanent ambassador at the UN in Geneva, has said earlier this month that countries should adopt a principle of “do no harm” with regards to nuclear weapons rather than pushing for a ban, however.
The signatories said they were “alarmed and disappointed” by this statement.
The international push for multilateral disarmament comes after MPs voted to renew the Trident nuclear weapons system – rejecting unilateral disarmament in the UK.
The full list of NGOs to sign the letter is: the Acronym Institute for Disarmament Diplomacy, Article 36, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, Christian Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, Greenpeace UK, Medact, Movement for the Abolition of War, Nuclear Free Local Authorities, Nuclear Morality Flowchart Project, Pax Christi British Section, Quakers in Britain, Scientists for Global Responsibility, Strategic Concept

A story was reported on NBC news a few years ago. Julie was grilling hot dogs. She looked outside and “saw 5-foot flames spewing from her family’s gas grill.” Her friend emptied their kitchen fire extinguisher on the fire, but it didn’t stop. She called 911 who advised her to wait until the flames died down and then shut off the propane. Once the fire was out, she saw that the knobs and the shelf were melted off!
Julie was lucky. She caught the fire before the tank blew up or anyone was hurt. It could have been worse.
Don’t let Julie’s experience happen to you. Keep your outdoor barbecuing experience fun and reduce your risk with these tips.
Many gas grill fires happen when using a grill that has been left inactive for a period of time. They can also happen just after refilling and reattaching the gas container. It is important to check them thoroughly.
Check your gas cylinder hose for leaks before your first use each year (or periodically if you use your grill year-round).
- Bubble test: Apply a light soap and water solution to the hose. A propane leak will release bubbles.
- Smell test: Pay attention for the smell of gas.
Check for blockages in the tubes that might be caused by insects, spiders, or food grease. If found, a pipe cleaner or wire can be used to push the blockage out of the tube.
Check for hoses in bad condition. In addition to checking for leaks, look for any cracking, brittleness, or holes. Ensure that any hoses or tubing have no sharp bends.
Position gas hoses properly. Move them as far away from hot surfaces or where hot grease might drop. If that is not possible, install a protective heat shield.
Check your connectors. Replace any that are scratched or nicked.
If You Find a Leak or Break
If you find a gas leak, by smell or the soapy bubble test, and there is no flame, turn off both the gas tank and the grill. If the leak stops, get the grill serviced by a professional before using it again. If the leak does not stop, call the fire department.
If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and call the fire department. Do not move the grill.
Keep fire/heat sources away from a leaking grill. This includes, but is not limited to, cigarettes, matches or any open flame.
Do not attempt repairs yourself. Go to an LP gas dealer or qualified repair person.
Starting the Grill and While Cooking
Open the lid before turning on the gas — always! Gas can build up inside a closed lid. If ignited, the lid can blow off and cause injuries and/or burns.
If the flame goes out while cooking, turn the grill and gas off and wait at least 5 minutes before re-lighting it.
Only use a grill outdoors. It should be at least 10 feet away from any building. Do not use it in a garage, breezeway, carport, porch, or under a surface that can catch fire.
Completely close off the valve.
Store equipment correctly:
- Your grill and propane tank should be stored outside and away from your house.
- Flammable liquid (LP gas, gasoline, etc.) containers should be stored upright and away from the grill. Never store them indoors.
- A filled gas container should never be kept in a hot car or car trunk. Heat causes gas pressure to increase. This causes the possibility of the relief valve opening and releasing gas into the vehicle. | <urn:uuid:2234feaf-7830-44a2-a299-427d1450f554> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://blog.bobjohnsonins.com/tag/gas/ | 2019-07-16T10:00:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524522.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716095720-20190716121720-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.937019 | 762 |

Makeup techniques are almost the same. However, a few adjustments have to be made with regards to skin type, personal preference and weather. Wedding makeup artists should see to it that the bride is confident and comfortable with the makeup. As a wedding makeup artist, the following are the most vital elements to achieve a faultless picture-ready makeup.
The foundation should match your skin type and tone. Powder foundation is not long lasting. Airbrush foundation is the best. It lasts longer because it is tear and sweat-proof and transfer-resistant. This makes your skin look unblemished, making it look real.
The primer adds to the staying power of the makeup and fills fine lines and pores. It also helps to even out the color. Eye primers are vital to avoid the wearing out of the eye shadow and liner when tears start to come.
The makeup colors must harmonize with the wedding dress, hair accessories and jewelries. This is the purpose of the try out session with your makeup artist to avoid the mess up of colors. Bronzers and blush help to improve the color and shape of your face.
Committing yourself to maintain your look is the best! Although makeup is necessary, you do not need to put up a front and make your guests, particularly your husband to stare and ask if it is really you. Makeup is meant to enhance your best features and bring out your real beauty. So do not settle for something less, choose a highly proficient wedding makeup artist to make you look natural yet glamorous. | <urn:uuid:4f596936-eaef-4ab9-a9cd-2a0212984a14> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://bridesparkle.com/blog/look-natural-with-your-wedding-makeup/ | 2019-07-16T10:36:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524522.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716095720-20190716121720-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.94644 | 310 |

Polished Concrete Saves You Money without Compromising Your Style!
There is no other floor finish that can be customized like concrete. Concrete is a product of nature and is the most widely used material in construction. Concrete is an advanteous ecological material with inherent beauty.
Polished Concrete is the perfect choice for those who want a stylish easy to maintain floor that can withstand the abuse of every day life. There are multiple solutions in turning a basic dull grey concrete surface to a hardened abrasive resistant low maintenance flooring option. Stains can be added to create a permanent colour and combined with our polishing process, your floor will be one of aesthetics and beauty.
The use of concrete as a floor finish makes sense. Building green or passive solar design is slowly being incorporated in modern building techniques, with the emphasis of creating better energy efficiency. When concrete is warmed the thermal mass holds the warmth many times longer than products like timber, tiles and vinyl flooring. Polished Concrete will create a better environment while offering many years of service with little cost to maintain. Polished Concrete is gaining a reputation as the floor finish of the future.
Polished Concrete is fast becoming the ultimate no-wax flooring material. Thanks to recent advances in polishing equipment and techniques, we can now grind concrete floor surfaces, whether new or old, to a high-gloss finish that never needs waxes or coatings. Factor in the superior durability and performance of concrete, and it’s no wonder why more retail, warehouse, and office facilities are opting for polished concrete flooring as an alternative to marble, granite, tile, linoleum, or coated concrete. Many homeowners are catching on to the appeal of these smooth, high-luster floors, which can be stained to replicate the look of polished stone, granite, mable, tile and even wood.
Because polishing is a multistep process, you can choose the level of sheen — from satin to high-gloss — that meets your maintenance and aesthetic requirements. This versatility makes polished concrete an ideal flooring material for a variety of applications.
Simply put, concrete flooring lasts longer, costs you less, gives you unlimited style options and is environmentally friendly! What more could you ask for?

You will love how straightforward that is to make! Walking in to the kitchen solely to throw a number of components collectively, solely to return out with a heat creamy bowl of comforting soup in minutes.
CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP
A heat bowl of soup so deliciously creamy with tender bites of mushroom items. Full flavoured with garlic, onions and herbs adequately subtle to shine by means of and praise the pure flavour of mushrooms with out overpowering it. Cooked with straightforward to seek out elements you might have already got in your kitchen, you’re minutes away from a satisfying bowl of creamy goodness!
MY LATEST VIDEOS
If you’re keen on our Garlic Mushrooms recipe, you’ll crave this soup when you attempt it after your first time tasting it.
HOW DO YOU MAKE MUSHROOM SOUP?
Creamy mushroom soup from scratch has a depth of flavour so totally different from canned soups (slop), because of recent herbs and components.
You’re only a handful of components away from making your personal model:
- Mushrooms: Fresh brown or cremini mushrooms are good for this recipe. You might additionally use mini portobello mushrooms, or a mixture of your favorite varieties.
- Herbs: The best herbs we have now discovered through the years to go with these unimaginable flavours is a mixture of thyme and parsley. Of course, when you don’t like these, you may as well use rosemary, oregano, tarragon, chives or basil. Use what you’re keen on!
- Cream: Half and Half, heavy cream, mild cream or thickened cream all yield comparable outcomes, nevertheless heavy cream provides richness.
- Flour: We want flour to create that scrumptious, creamy texture mushroom soup is liked for. You can depart it out and use cornstarch if you want. I like to recommend 2-three tablespoons cornstarch combined with 1/four cup water (slurry). If not sure about portions in your liking, add the cornstarch slurry in tablespoon increments, stirring in between, till you’ve achieved your perfect texture.
HOW DO YOU MAKE MUSHROOM SOUP WITHOUT CREAM?
If you have to miss the cream, you possibly can substitute it with evaporated milk or common milk (full fats or 2% are each advantageous). Just watch out to not convey it to a speedy boil as it might curdle. Go with a really mild simmer over low warmth for a few minute to warmth it by means of.
For a dairy free choice, you possibly can miss the cream or milk all collectively. Our mushroom soup continues to be good and creamy with out the dairy element!
MUSHROOM SOUP RECIPE
What makes our mushroom soup so good? The further flavours of:
Garlic — recent garlic is best, however you should use minced if that’s all you might have available.
Onions — don’t be postpone by the quantity of onions I exploit. I LOVE together with two on this soup (or 1/2 cup), as their flavours actually shine right here. With the quantity of mushrooms on this recipe, you’ll discover utilizing 2 onions creates the right stability of flavour for this mushroom soup recipe.
Wine — dry pink or white wines are good on this and add an unimaginable style. If you favor to go away it, you’re greater than welcome to take action. There’s no want to exchange it with additional broth or inventory.
If utilizing a RED, I like to recommend a Marsala, Sherry, Merlot or Pinot Noir.
For WHITE I really like a Pinot Grigio or Sauv Blanc.
Or Broth! Chicken or beef work properly for mushroom soup, simply use what you will have available. Personally, I favor hen inventory. For a vegetarian choice, use a great high quality vegetable inventory.
Bouillon — I discover beef bouillon supplies an unimaginable depth of flavour when in comparison with hen bouillon. However, as with the inventory choices, you should use vegetable inventory powder for a scrumptious vegetarian soup.
Don’t overlook the aspect of garlic bread to mop up all of that soup sitting on the backside of your bowl!

Making -a toile with my newly drafted skirt block - exciting!
Reading – back to John Cheever's Collected Stories - I've been reading this book for over a year and although I'm really enjoying it the stories are quite similar in style so I tend to read it in fits and starts.
Listening – rediscovering Joanna Newsom's Have One On Me. This kept me calm whilst doing the maths calculations on the skirt block.
Watching – I've got plans to make a tiny pocket tank, plus fix the gaping back on a pair of jeans before we go on holiday so I doubt I'll be watching much this week.
Planning – our holiday to Copenhagen next Saturday!Loving – the corded loop pocket tutorial on Coletterie. I'm thinking of trying to incorporate this into a Sorbetto dress I've got planned for making when we get back our holidays.
Writing these weekly updates and plans has been really helping me stick to sewing plans. I know it's only been a few weeks I've been doing them but hopefully I'll be able to keep the motivation and good planning up! | <urn:uuid:3369df6b-d757-44ee-b898-c387147cce3e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://kathrynsbusytown.blogspot.com/2012/08/this-week-im_27.html | 2019-07-16T10:16:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524522.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716095720-20190716121720-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.957759 | 231 |

We created this animation in a team of 3 for our production studies module within the 2nd year of the BA Animation course at Bristol School of Animation (UWE). The production took about 10 weeks, allowing 2 weeks off for christmas. We gave ourselves 3 weeks for the animation and editing stage of things and spent the rest of the time developing the storyboards, puppet design, set/prop design, foley, etc.

Sean Nicholas Savage
words Zarah Cheng
Where are you from?
Grew up in Edmonton, Alberta – that's what I always say.
Your collaborators for the new record, Other Death, include some of our favourite musicians, like Agor (of Blue Hawaii), Doldrums, and members of TOPS. How did they help shape the sound for the record?
Well the sound, I think, is pretty eclectic – so they all are just my friends, all contributed in different ways. Errhead brought a lot of youth into it, which is what I wanted, but had long forgotten how to feel.
The second single, “Suburban Nights,” is very darkly satirical, reminding me a little bit of Stepford Wives-esque suburbia. What sparked your interest in writing a song about this setting?
I was just mad again, being a bit sarcastic. It's certainly not a comment on suburbia, which would be so general anyways, but just my own feeling. Like anything I could ever write, it's just about my own experiences. And I have some complicated feelings about where I grew up. Edmonton’s a big city too, gonna be a lot of different perspectives on that.
Your previous album, Other Life (2013), was largely shaped by the end of a relationship. With the title Other Death signifying a new chapter, are there any themes or sentiments carried on from that record that you want listeners to be aware of?
Nah, it's mostly just using my other record Other Life to make the point, you know. If I'm gonna burn it all up, tear it to shreds, I'm gonna start with me. And I might end there too.
You’ve been an integral part of Canada’s music scene for a long time. How do you feel the Canadian music community has contributed to your growth as an artist?
That's a nice thing to say. Of course, well I grew up here – everything to do with me has everything to do with time and setting. That's all I am, really. I mean, a victim of circumstance. Canadian.
Pitchfork wrote back in 2013 that Arbutus Records’ artists are stellar in “[tackling] questions of identity from unique and exciting perspectives.” How would you describe the way that you express yourself and your identity through your music?
Sincerity is not something I really strive for, but I don't have much interest in trying to do something unnatural artistically. I dunno if anyone does. I think maybe we're all just pretty sincere around here, with good artistic priorities. And when someone is sincere in their art, of course you're learning so much about them.
You’re going to be starting a North American tour soon. What can we expect from these performances? Who will be supporting you on the tour?
O ye, we're rehearsing all the time. There's going to be three part harmonies in every song. [It] sounds really beautiful. I've never had so much singing in a group – Matt Perri of the band Deep, and Adam Byczkowski of Better Person, are both singing with me, making up the band. I think we're doing the tour with Promise Keeper, which is Will from Mood Rings’ new project, a very nice fit.
Who are you listening to nowadays?
Well, it's been hot, so Ritchie Valens, just rewatched La Bamba (amazing biopic, great story), and Molly Nilsson came out with two new songs – they're pretty sunny.
What creeps you out the most?
Global politics and then political ignorance, and of course sexual abuse etc.
I don't know if creep is the right word for me, but it's a great name for a magazine – love that font too, creep.

We’re sliding right into the neap tides this weekend, and this will provide the ideal opportunity to target bluewater fish.

I find it difficult not to buy into the discussion on whether Darwin should have its own iconic “Big Thing” and, if so, what that should be.

I most definitely believe we should... (more)

In what was widely discussed as the toughest Club Marine Insurance Barra Nationals ever, this great tournament is done and dusted for another year.

I can’t tell you how the Club Marine Insurance Barra Nationals is going because I’m down on the Daly River myself, hopefully catching fish.

The only real expectation for this year’s Aurora Kakadu Klash was that the fishing would be tough.
After all, we’ve just had one of the lousiest wet seasons on record, and reports from the iconic South Alligator River were all negative, including that there was bugger-all runoff happening.
My information gleaned before this great Territory... (more)
I’m away at the Aurora Kakadu Klash where the fishing is tough but some good ones are getting caught.

Over to Roger:... (more)

I was chatting with a mate the other day who had just recently undertaken a trip going right down the South Alligator River, across to the East Alligator River and then right up the East.
He and his mates fished the whole way there and back, casting to anything that resembled a colour change or a likely barramundi ambush point.
Their catch was just one...

As many of you know, I tend to be rather reticent to promote products on this blog. Honestly I’m kinda hard to impress and as momma always said, “if you don’t have anything nice to say…” well you know the rest. I make rare exceptions for products or services about which I feel strongly. One of them that I have used for many years is Shutterfly.com. Originally I used them to print Christmas photo cards and with truly excellent results.
I must say, though, the coolest thing we’ve done via Shutterfly is putting together custom photo books (not photo albums, mind you, but actually hard bound books) of photos… in our case they were from our wedding. We had bought the electronic rights to the photos from the wedding photographer and my wife tailored books of photos with captions specifically for different family members. I have one on the credenza behind me as I type.
Here’s the thing, if you are like us you take a ton of digital photos. You could send everyone a stack, but they’ll end up decorating the bottom of some drawer. Here’s a better idea. How about the photographic highlights of your family’s or child’s year, in a format they can put on the shelf and enjoy year after year? I should note Shutterfly also does tons of other things like holiday party invitations, some really cool photo gifts, and much more.
They are running some good specials. Check ’em out…. and tell them Daddy sent you!
