When it comes to film interpretation and finding madness in the method, it’s only a matter of time before an overly philosophical troll decides to take an almighty stab at the man whose portfolio is stuffed with the mystery, symbolism and deeper meaning usually reserved for Michele de Nostradame and biblical verse. But while Stanley Kubrick’s horror masterpiece The Shining provided the inspiration for a film which provided the inspiration for an idea that provided the inspiration for a decidedly strange column, it is his most influential – and maddeningly metaphorical – motion picture that this week take’s it place under the warped microscope.
Since its release in 1968, 2001: A Space Odyssey has provided the creative spark for countless filmmakers and induced ever more debates trying to discern what exactly it all means. For this viewer and scribe, its point can be found in its incomprehensibility, a purpose within anarchic nonsense. A darkly minded poet of a director, Kubrick’s greatest film is a visual tome regarding the soul of humanity itself, a theme overwhelmingly prevalent in all of his much beloved work.
It seems almost like a broken record with this writer’s assertion that everything comes down to pessimistic self loathing for our species, a Freudian insistence that every small mystery can be diagnosed as the same heavy dose of misanthropy, with all symptoms pushed to support a flawed hypothesis. However, there are sufficient signs and hints within 2001 to suggest that, like the previous Strange Interpretation, Kubrick’s science fiction colossus takes a rather dim view on our species and expresses it in a medium far less linear than most auteurs truly realize. If the late great’s reclusive lifestyle doesn’t convince you that Kubrick was hardly a champion of humanity’s exponents, the tone of Full Metal Jacket and A Clockwork Orange most certainly should. Couple this with a stirring recurring theme within Odyssey’s tangent-like scenes of disconnect and you have all the hints needed to form an appropriately dark and lonely conclusion to a journey that lives up to its ironically optimistic title and still holds up as a hallucinogenic rollercoaster of wonder.
It’s a trail of breadcrumbs that begins right at the start, both of the film and of portrayed time. Every element of 2001 is celebrated, revered and immortalized by parody and tribute, so it almost becomes a tired exercise to really sit down and study just why a film dealing with aliens, treacherous AI and acid trip treasure hunting opens with a gaggle of un-evolved humans mooching around in the barren deserts of pre-civilization Africa. Yes, this is the first appearance of the decisive obelisk, a mystical extraterrestrial structure defying logic or understanding. But its sudden emergence at the home of the hominids seems timed as an unlocked new level in quickly developing game of adapting survival.
More significant are the actions of the pre-humans before the obelisk appears where an almost serene existence of feeding and lazing is replaced by needless conflict with a rival group over possession of a water hole. Before man could even speak, Kubrick is telling us, he had found reason to bear arms against his brethren when peaceful coexistence is the right route to traverse. This crucial struggle sees the early inception of territoriality, escalation and sadly, murder, as the depicted sect learn to use weapons (in this case old bones) in order to gain an advantage over their rivals. This becomes their focus, savage intelligence pre-occupied by a growing thirst and obsession with violence and destruction. When the obelisk appears, the first attempt by an unseen alien force to make contact with our species, there is not a chance that the beasts will understand the gesture. Rather, they would destroy bones with bigger bones in a display of Alpha male bravado that is half macho, half psychotic.
Cinema’s most famous match-cut follows, visually tying the film to its jump millions of years into the future as we catch up with a now space-based human race, shorn of the fur and monkey posture but, we quickly learn, not of the distrust and misled sense of supremacy. While humankind has advanced itself to levels of greatness with the advancement of technology and scientific endeavor, there exists a feeling of paranoid deception and elitism which is merely an evolved form of the unnecessary warring seen in the opening segment. William Sylvester’s character, Dr Heywood Floyd, is headed for a US moon base to investigate a stunning discovery made by scientists, one that proves the existence of extraterrestrial life. Yes, the film defining obelisk is making another appearance, deliberately buried on the lunar body four million years prior.
But instead of embracing this find and sharing it with the entire human race, the discoverers instead concoct a cover story of epidemics and withhold information from the public as they essentially look to plant their flag on the structure and keep it for themselves; so much advancement in terms of tools since the dawn of man, but still the greed and unwillingness to avoid trouble by simply sharing. This point exists in a simplistic but effective form, as Floyd opts to lie to friends and peers rather than do what ethics would compel. It is an absolutely perfect parallel, showing that intelligence has provided just a more canny thinking to help avoid unification. It comes as no surprise that upon arrival at the TMA-1, the scientists can’t think of anything more inspired to do than pose for a group photo, further cementing their arrogant claimant. The obelisk reacts by deafening them with a high pitched rattle, not so much punishment as desperate and futile attempt to communicate. A race too focused on warring and secrecy has still failed, even after so much time has passed, to understand.
This leads to the most significant episode, as a troupe of scientists are bound for Jupiter under the care of their ship’s artificial intelligence, HAL-9000. Even amongst impressive space-faring vessels capable of such long journeys, the most impressive specimen of technology is still Hal, a fully functioning and communicating computer that, while dictated by stringent programming and logical directives, still hints at possible emotion and soul thanks to being given a voice and the capacity to think. As Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) explains in an interview with the BBC, Hal acts and sounds like a real person, but they simply do not know if there is any substance within his make up. The culture of clandestine secrecy has apparently not been shed by this point, as we quickly learn that the science team (most of whom are in suspended animation awaiting arrival at the storm planet) do not know what their ultimate destiny is, what they are supposed to do, why they are even going to Jupiter. An apparently erroneous damage report by Hal and hints at the computer’s unreliability from home base are enough to create doubt within the human occupants, and they plot to essentially overthrow Hal and disconnect him if he continues to show signs of malfunction. Unbeknownst to them, the AI has lip read every word, and is now fully aware that there is a threat to his existence.
Interpretation of what comes next in this dramatic battle comes down to your view on Hal, whether you believe that he does indeed have a soul or is just a malfunctioning machine. If it is the former to which you subscribe, you cannot help but feel sympathy for the program, as he is suddenly made aware of the fact that he could be killed at any moment, due to the fact that a report he made supposedly turned out to be false. With that line of thinking, any further action he takes could be equally misled, and result in the ultimate punishment. It becomes a matter of survival as Hal wages war on his creators, killing all but one of the science team and attempting to stop Dave, the final survivor, from ending his rampage. These actions are motivated by self-preservation, an instinct decidedly human which has apparently been transplanted into our tools of technology. The monotone with which Hal fearfully pleads with Dave to stop killing him masks the fact Hal has every right to be scared, and has essentially been betrayed and doomed to regression and decomposition.
The latter line of thinking reinforces the same message, only by different means, showing that mankind’s advancements have only come so far as to now create threats to our own existence when we ran out of natural enemies to overcome. Either way, it is a monstrous and cynical analogy posed by one of cinema’s most infamous villains, a moniker which ironically misses the point pushed on us by its presence. Regardless of your opinion on what drives Hal’s actions, it is an objective statement by Kubrick that his existence shows not the evil of technology, but the deeply flawed soul of its creator. A man’s creation will always reflect on him, and the reflection in this case is either traumatic destruction or abject failure; two roads leading to the same destination. The fact that deactivating Hal reveals to Dave the true nature of their mission is a perverse hint at a malignant, philosophical yet horribly cruel ultimate plan – the astronauts had to learn to kill life in order to discover their own purpose…apes with bones…
The final leg of the journey is the third and final manifestation of the obelisk, and its purpose is still unclear, even though its creators are about to take a massive leap of faith in sharing their existence with humanity. As Dave approaches the structure in Jupiter’s orbit, he is sucked into cinema’s most famous mind bending journey through the cosmos, a display of sound on sight as hypnotic as it is meaningless. Humanity’s unlikely ambassador is pulled across millions of light years into the heart of the alien beings…which looks an awful lot like a bedroom in the Louis XVI-style. Without any ability to fathom was is happening, Dave witnesses himself growing old within the room, eventually making it to his death bed as a luxurious prisoner of space and time. The obelisk appears to him, Dave reaches out and…what happens next is the crux of the film’s final message, and its interpretation falls down on either side of the optimist-pessimist debate; as odd as it may sound, a science-fiction film’s conclusion revolves around your reading of a drinking glass at 50% capacity.
One of two things occurs when David Bowman stretches a hand out to touch the obelisk and, unlike the Hal debate, whatever path you take goes to a very different place. What is a cold objective fact is that Dave is transformed into a fetus-like starchild orbiting the Earth; what this means is wholly subjective. The Mr. Brightside interpretation is that in that moment Dave finally understands what the obelisk means, what’s its appearance signifies, and his embracing of it means that mankind has displayed the intelligence to warrant the next stage of their evolution, reborn as ‘starchidren’, perhaps akin to the offspring of Krypton. After a long and perilous journey, humanity has finally reached a destination they didn’t know they were headed for or attempting to find; ascension to the next step and ultimate transcendence to a superior form of life. Woohoo to mankind. Equally, you could just view the whole sequence as a deliberately unintelligible display showing that there is no way we could possibly comprehend what comes next.
However, the finale that best fits with the previous theme of the narrative is that Dave’s rebirth is in fact a symbolic leap presented to best represent humanity’s stature; that of an undeveloped child, an unborn baby that has blundered its way into space but provides no insights, no answers and serves no purpose. Instead, it simply exists, floats in the cosmos looking at the wonders that science has created with no ability, or will it seems, to truly understand what they mean. The aliens, unseen and misunderstood, have reached out to our race and have found a species of man-children lacking in any positive traits or enlightenment. Like the viewer, Dave has no ability to comprehend what his journey has meant, what it represents, and as such humanity will continue to traipse long garden paths of mystery and spend much of the time destroying the plants rather than wondering why they are. Brooding and pessimistic, dark and weary; sound like anyone we know?

Gazprom confirms Ukraine settled $1.65bn gas debt
Ukraine’s Naftogaz has collected about 300 million cubic meters of gas of the 1 billion it has already paid for, Kupriyanov added.
"The rest of the advance payment will be used to pay for gas supplied to Ukraine next year in January," he said.
Late on Tuesday Naftogaz confirmed it transferred the money to Gazprom.
… following the agreements reached in Brussels Naftogaz paid $3.1 billion in two tranches to settle for 11.5 billion cubic meters of gas supplied by Gazprom in November-December 2013 and April – June 2014,” the company said in its press – release.
The first payment of $1.45 billion was made on November 4.
On Tuesday, Russian Energy Minister Aleksandr Novak warned that Russia could cut gas supplies should Kiev fail to pay its outstanding debt by the end of December.
He also added that Russia was ready to discuss the possibility of providing Ukraine with more gas discounts in the spring of 2015, when the ‘winter plan’ expires.
Novak said that the price in the first quarter of 2015 will be $340-360 per 1,000 cubic meters, which is below the $378 price for December. | <urn:uuid:bf9c09a1-5d89-4d54-94ea-41ccce60a964> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.rt.com/business/217247-ukraine-pays-debt-russia/ | 2019-07-20T03:58:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.965714 | 270 |
"The only thing that stopped him from opening the fridge was his lack of an opposable thumb."
We had to put our 15 year-old beagle Brass to sleep yesterday. He was getting sicker and sicker, and weaker and weaker, and when Will, Vicky, and I arrived at our vet's office yesterday, she told us that it was time. The three of us had already arrived at that conclusion as a family even before we arrived at Dr. Brown's office.
Why? Because Brass, a serious eater if there ever was one, had stopped eating and drinking. He hadn't eaten anything for three days. The only way Vicky and Will could get some liquid into him was by spoon-feeding him water.
How could this be? How much of a serious eater was Brass? Well, some of you might remember this photo of Brass doing the dishes at our friends' house in Connecticut. Brass obviously hated to see one single morsel of seriously delicious food go to waste, so he became the first dog we had ever seen volunteer to do the dishes. Now that's what I call a considerate and well-trained dog-cum-house-guest. But Brass had exhibited serious eater tendencies long before he started doing the dishes, like when he visited the Serious Eats offices.
Brass should have performed some of his food-oriented stupid pet tricks on Letterman to show the world just what kind of serious eater he was.
He could go up and over like a dolphin in pursuit of something seriously delicious. No matter what kitchen counter we put food on, it was not safe from Brass. Only the closed oven and the top of the fridge were Brass-free zones, and the only thing that stopped him from opening the fridge was his lack of an opposable thumb.
Though Brass was a wonderfully gentle, child-friendly dog (one sweet little boy in our building would sometimes visit him thrice-weekly after school for play dates) no food a child was clutching was safe from Brass. When Brass was three or four--in his serious eating prime--Vicky was walking him to the bank. She and Brass passed a little boy in a stroller chomping contentedly on a bagel. In a flash, without making a sound, Brass took the bagel out of the little boy's hands with his teeth. He did this so quickly the little boy's mother didn't see it.
The little boy started crying, and his mom couldn't figure out why. Vicky had to explain to her what had happened and offered to repay her for the bagel.
When I first encountered Ed Levine's beagle, Brass, he had lumbered from the kitchen of Ed's apartment into the living room, drawn by the scent of pizza dinner at an early Serious Eats planning session. Ed immediately warned us all to watch that dog like a hawk. As far as Brass is concerned, that slice of pizza on your plate is his. Brass's strategy: Disarm with a deceptively slow pace, bide time until victim's guard is down, strike like lightning to take what's rightfully his. The night I met him, someone (no, not me) ignored Ed's warning, and Brass scored a prime corner slice of a grandma pizza from New Pizza Town.
Thanksgiving is of course any serious eaters' favorite holiday, and Brass was no exception. Most Thanksgivings in our house ended with Brass leaping up onto the center of the dining room table and devouring one of the many pies I had carefully gathered from around the city. At that moment he became the ultimate Thanksgiving table centerpiece. Who needs flowers? I'm not sure our guests appreciated Brass' skill and prowess, but I for one was incredibly proud. Brass was one hell of a serious eater.
It's going to be a lot easier seriously eating in our house now that Brass is no longer with us, but that doesn't make losing him any less difficult. Big-hearted Brass was a constant, joyous, life-affirming presence in our lives for fifteen years. We loved him madly and he loved us right back every single moment he was with us.
As all serious eaters can well imagine, we've been consumed with Brass this past week, so much so that I forgot to weigh myself one day. Let's see where I ended up. 213. Same as last week. I'm still going to have a piece of pie this weekend, in honor of Brass the serious-eating beagle.

Chapter 273 Strongest Sage, Foresees Attacks
Just as I passed right below the spear, the man cast another magic on his spear.
But, it's too late.
The move magic he used in the beginning was something he had prepared beforehand. As such, its cast time was quick.
Compared to that, this magic was cast impromptu as a reaction against me dodging the spear.
Hence, I've got enough time to cast a counter magic.
The man sounded confused when he saw his own spear.
As the spear's trajectory didn't curve out.
The reason is simple.
I've put a defensive magic on the 『Enemy's Spear』 to block magical interferences on it.
And the opening created from my dodge is enough to end this fight.
I swing my sword within the range.
An unavoidable strike aiming for the enemy's center of gravity.
The man pulled back his spear in an attempt to defend his body.
This is exactly the timing I was waiting for.
I cast move magic on my sword which was going for the enemy's waist and changed its aim.
--My target is the enemy's arm.
His arm was wide open precisely because he was trying to defend his waist instead of dodging.
The enemy's arm flew in the air as a pained scream reverberated.
My sword has cut off his arm.
The enemy moved away from me even while screaming in agony.
That he would still trying to calmly salvage the situation even after he got one arm cut off is a testament of an ancient magic combatant.... The fact that he's lost one arm still remains though.
But the match is as good as over now.
I came out on top even when the enemy still had both arms.
Now that he's lost one arm needed to swing his spear, there's no way he can fight properly.
Or so I thought, but...
<TLN: If you're reading this novel at any other site than Sousetsuka .com you might be reading an unedited, uncorrected version of the novel.>
"It grew back!?"
Alma was shocked when she saw the enemy.
For some reason, the man's arm that had been cut off has regrown.
...I've never seen this phenomena even with recovery magic.
Regrowing arms are not an impossible feat like [Dead Revival], but there are better ways to do it.
"...It's a by-product of dead revival, ya see! Cool huh!"
The man shouted so while checking out his new arm.
It seems like Dead Revival has an additional limb restoration effect included.
Since I didn't sense anything like this on Grevil, this must be an original magic or something created by the guy who revived these [Warmongers].
I could sense a hint of fluctuation on the unnatural spell formula imprinted on the enemy when he regrew his arm.
I fix my sword stance in front of the man.
"The end result won't change even if you have both arms."
"Yer' certainly better than me alright! ...But winning or losing is all about luck. Who knows, it might even be me who came out victorious!"
"...Unfortunately, that's not going to happen."
I closed in on the man as I said that.
The man thrust his spear while casting his magic in an attempt to kill me--however, an extremely simple magic I cast completely neutralized both his spear and magic.
Then a moment later, my sword has been thrust before his neck.
"How! How come you dodged my spear!"
"Your moves are too easy to read... You'd better put some effort into increasing your patterns if you ever get revived again."
The man's eyes were wide open.
He must have been shocked to see his spear that had taken so many lives got so easily nullified.
Of course I'd read his spear.
After all, he thrust his spear the same way he did in the beginning and even used the exact same move magic as an assist.
This man must have reached his current strength by polishing that same pattern in many battles.
It would have eventually been countered off if he kept fighting that way--but since this man killed all opponents he defeated, he never had to worry about that.
To the man, completely mastering one pattern made all other patterns redundant.
But that tactic is not applicable to opponents who have a wealth of experience under their belt.
They'd see through the fact that he only had one pattern by looking at the way he thrust his spear.
One's battle predisposition shows in the way they carry their weapon, the way they approach their opponent and also their line of sight as well as mana flows.
Once one failed their first attack against such an opponent--the only thing waiting for them is defeat. | <urn:uuid:095362ee-a7cf-4220-9ca3-ab50286d1e17> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.sousetsuka.com/2019/04/shikkaku-mon-no-saikyou-kenja-chapter_28.html | 2019-07-20T04:09:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526408.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720024812-20190720050812-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.983921 | 1,017 |

How long would it take for robots to match the abilities of star athletes?
Perhaps not too long ... in golf, at least.
During the opening round of this year's Waste Management Phoenix Open tournament this week, a robot scored a hole-in-one on the 16th hole. Yes, a robot. Really.
To drive perspective into the shot, Tiger Woods sank a hole-in-one on the same hole of the same course of the same PGA (Professional Golfers' Association) Tour tournament in 1997, and despite his recent slumping years, it's common knowledge that he's one of the greatest golfers of all time.
Just like when Woods sank the incredible shot close to 20 years ago, fans at the Scottsdale Stadium Course went into a high-fiving, champagne-spraying frenzy at the scene of the Ldric the Golf Robot calmly sinking a hole-in-one rather effortlessly on the 16th hole.
In a way, it's fitting that the Ldric Golf Robot matched Woods' feat, considering the robot was named after Tiger's actual first name, Eldrick.
Golf Digest actually describes the impressive robot as a "stone-cold killer on the course" and "the go-to device for equipment and ball-testing in the golf industry."
It adds: "Not only is its swing sound and fluid, but it can replicate hooks, slices and other flaws inherent to the average golfer."

Writer Matthew Collin presents a selection of links based around his new book Pop Grenade: From Public Enemy To Pussy Riot: Dispatches From Musical Frontlines
Pop Grenade is a series of personal dispatches from critical moments when music has been used as an agent of change, or as Fela Kuti once put it, as a weapon – reports from turbulent times featuring a compelling and occasionally bizarre cast of hip-hop preachers, techno activists, punk provocateurs and rock’n’roll visionaries.
It’s about fleeting periods in recent history when music became a soundtrack to social transformations, quickening the heartbeat and feeding the soul of cultural movements or alternative communities seeking to confront injustice, alter the consciousness of a generation, or at least create safe havens where they could freak freely until the police moved in.
The first dispatch opens with Public Enemy detonating like a sonic cluster bomb on their first British tour in 1987. Suddenly here they were, the ‘Black Panthers of rap’, the new militants of the hiphop age, incandescent with revolutionary zeal. But they were also fervent Afro-futurists who set out to be as radical musically as they were in their lyrics. Chuck D told me that they wanted to sound an alarm call for a generation: “We were trying to make people think, ‘What the fuck is this?’”
Public Enemy “Rebel Without A Pause” on Soul Train
Public Enemy’s influence was even felt in the libertine nocturnal world of the electronic dance scene of the time. In the US, the Detroit techno crew Underground Resistance adopted their black power iconography and used it as ideological fuel for an even harsher sonic assault, channelling their fury at the Motor City’s decline into machine music that sought to break free of earthly oppression and blast off into the cosmos.
Underground Resistance “Riot”
The book takes a trip through the lawless creativity of the early Berlin techno scene after the fall of the Wall and tracks the demented trajectory of anarchist sound systems on their psychotropic journey to the outer limits of hedonism in the late 1990s. This was the moment, after the 1994 Criminal Justice Act outlawed guerrilla raves in Britain and post-acid house club culture became increasingly commercialised, when the movement’s radical fringe became increasingly political, with wildcat crews like Desert Storm providing the jagged-edged soundtrack for Reclaim the Streets demonstrations.
Desert Storm at Reclaim the Streets, Bristol 1997
As British sound system crews like Spiral Tribe fled the country seeking free spaces in the wake of the Criminal Justice Act and created the Teknival circuit of outlaw festival/raves in mainland Europe, Desert Storm made a series of hazardous sorties to Bosnia and Herzegovina during the mid-90s conflict in the Balkans. They delivered aid supplies but also threw frontline parties that helped to inspire a techno scene in war-traumatised Sarajevo which still exists to this day.
Musicians were also on the frontline in Istanbul in 2013, when mass resistance erupted against authoritarian prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s plan to bulldoze a beloved city-centre park. One of the first protesters to face down the riot police in Taksim Square was Serhat Köksal, alias 2/5BZ, the pioneer of politically charged Turkish electro music and a favourite of the late John Peel.
What was fascinating was how contemporary Istanbul bands and DJs involved in the Taksim Square protests drew on a history of radical Turkish psychedelia and politically engaged Anadolu pop made by 60s and 70s musicians like Cem Karaca, Moğollar and Selda Bağcan. This movement was all but snuffed out by the military coup in 1980 and some of the musicians were persecuted by the regime for years afterwards. But this song by Selda Bağcan – a revolutionary call to seize the day – shows how brightly they burned before the darkness fell.
Selda Bağcan “Meydan Sizindir”
There was also an upsurge of dissent in Moscow at the start of this decade, dramatised in spectacular fashion by balaclava-clad feminist art punk collective Pussy Riot. Their audacious guerrilla performances were a thrilling counterpart to mass protests in the city streets, but when they delivered their seditious “Punk Prayer” in a Moscow cathedral, they were arrested and sent to remote prison colonies after a preposterous show trial which showed that the regime was as keen to silence avant garde pranksters as it was to lock up conventional political activists.
Pussy Riot's “Putin Zassal”
In the book, the veteran Russian music critic Art Troitsky says that most Russian rockers wanted nothing to do with politics – too dirty, too dangerous – but a few have dared to speak out during the Putin era. He cites rapper Noize MC, whose song “Mercedes S666” raged against a Russian oil company executive who got away with killing two women in a car crash, and veteran rockers DDT, whose singer Yuri Shevchuk personally confronted Putin over free speech, corruption and police brutality at a televised meeting in 2010.
Noize MC’s “Mercedes 666”
Sometimes inspiration comes from the most unlikely sources, I found. When I interviewed Pussy Riot’s Nadya Tolokonnikova after she was released from jail, she said that they were not only influenced by the feminist riot grrrl movement of the early 90s, but also by songs about police oppression and working class life by second wave British punk acts like the Angelic Upstarts, Cockney Rejects and Sham 69. As Tolokonnikova explained during their trial: “We were searching for real sincerity and simplicity, and we found these qualities in the holy foolishness of punk.”

Rob Kardashian is getting closer and closer to fatherhood — and he’s determined to be healthy for his daughter.
The Rob & Chyna star took to Instagram on October 19 to share a motivational post vowing to lose weight for his baby girl with fiancée Blac Chyna, whom the couple is expecting in about four weeks.
Kardashian, 29, put together a side-by-side of him and Chyna, 28. The photo of Kardashian is from a few years ago, prior to his weight gain, and the photo of Chyna is from before her pregnancy.
“Oh yeah we snapping back lol,” he wrote. “Baby will be here in 4 weeks and I’m done with carrying this pregnancy weight. Me and my baby gonna be right. MOTIVATION TIME! We almost there Chy. F— Chy looks so bomb here aghhh!”
Over the past two years, Kardashian struggled with significant weight gain that led to a diabetes diagnosis last year.
Though Kardashian told PEOPLE in August he was diabetes-free — and credited his future wife for helping him focus on his health — his weight struggle was an ongoing theme on the recent season of Rob & Chyna.
Last month, a source told PEOPLE Kardashian is “extremely bothered by his weight gain.”
“It’s not like he let himself gain weight because he doesn’t care,” said the insider. “He just hasn’t been able to mentally motivate himself to do something about it. It’s like an evil circle — the more he gains weight, the worse he feels mentally.”
“Rob is a great guy,” added the source. “His struggles are very sad. It seems they could be fixed with help.”

2.3.1. Satellite images
Yandex.Maps and Yandex Map Editor are built based on satellite images of Earth.
This section describes the most important characteristics of satellite images and geographic features for drawing purposes.
22.214.171.124. Features of satellite images
- Level of detail
Satellite images have different levels of detail. On some of them the motorways and buildings are clearly visible (as in the left part of the image) and in others only major map items like lakes are distinguishable even when the map is zoomed-in as far as possible (as in the right part of the image).
You should only plot items whose shape can be determined by the satellite image available. Rivers, main roads, and localities can be drawn even if the image is not very detailed. If you want to draw small items (small roads, including pedestrian lanes, individual buildings, etc.), it's better to wait until a detailed satellite image is available.
- Image updates
Images are taken from space regularly. Satellite coverage on Yandex.Maps is constantly updating: less-detailed images are replaced with detailed ones and outdated ones are replaced with new ones.
Sometimes there is a discrepancy between the new and old satellite image, so map items don't line up with the new one (as in the image on the left).
In these situations, you shouldn't edit the map by shifting items individually to new positions. This type of map section will be edited by Yandex employees and the items will be shifted to their appropriate locations (see the image to the right):
Satellite images become outdated over time: an empty lot might appear where a newly built-up territory is, a demolished building might display where a new one has been built, etc.
For example, in the image on the left there is a garage complex and an empty lot marked with green arrows, and in the right photo taken a few years later, you can see buildings in those same places:
If you're in a situation where items that you drew or edited don't match satellite images, (for example, if the image is like the one on the left that is already seriously outdated), you must include a comment explaining why your work does not match the satellite images.
If the satellite image was taken when the weather was overcast, a good portion of the territory that the image covers may be hidden behind clouds. On these sections of the image, it may not be possible to distinguish even major map items (such as in the image to the left; the image on the right is of the same area in clear weather):
If territories that you want to map are covered with clouds in the available images, you can draw the item you're interested in schematically by relying on images of the surrounding areas. Then, when a detailed image is available of the area you drew, you can correct your previous work. However, it's better to refrain from drawing small map items that are completely hidden by clouds.
- Layer of snow
Drawing satellite images of territories covered by snow (see the images on the left) has its own challenges. A lot depends on how deep the snowfall was and if the images differ from images of the same areas that were taken when there was no snow (see the images on the right).
Sometimes snow makes it easier to identify a map item. For example, rivers and roads that are usually masked by vegetation may become more distinct. Other times though, snow makes it harder to identify items: trees and other vegetation are hidden, for example (see the pair of images on top).
Snow may mask some items to the point where they can't be detected (see the pair of images on the bottom):
If the territory that you want to map is covered by snow in the available images, you can still map them if you account for the ways that snow changes a landscape.
It's relatively easy to distinguish buildings from other map items on satellite images. Usually detailed satellite images are used for localities:
When drawing the edges of a building, it's important to remember that satellite images are typically taken at an angle to the ground (rather than from directly over the item). This is why the roof outline will not match the footprint (i.e. the outline of the building's foundation) in images. Make sure you are drawing the footprint. The higher the building, the greater this discrepancy.
In the image on the right, the clearly visible roof outline is represented by an orange rectangle, and the visible footprint fragment is outlined with an orange dotted line. It's clear that the shifted roof outline covers the driveway going into the courtyard (the blue dotted line):
If you draw the building based on the roof contour, then there may be conflicting map data between the building outline and the courtyard driveway or street that it intersects with. To avoid this, the following basic rule must be followed: A building should always be drawn according to its footprint (For more building drawing details, see Section 3.4.1. Rules for drawing buildings.
To make sure that buildings with sections of varying heights display properly on the map, give each section gets its own footprint.
You can tell that a building has sections of varying heights based on the shadows on the satellite image (and by the walls, if they are visible). But it's not always possible to enter the height of a building based on a satellite image. If available, panoramas can help you figure out how complicated buildings are constructed so you can draw them accurately. Here is an example of how to draw this type of building (not all parts of the building are drawn on the map to the right):
In rural areas, buildings tend to be low-rise and there is less of a problem with outlines being displaced. Rural areas present their own challenges though, as building contours are often small and less detailed on satellite images.
That's why it's important to handle each situation individually, or else one might not distinguish a home, which should be drawn on the map (see the green arrows) from a free-standing garage, which should not be included (see the red arrow):
For details for how to draw buildings, see Section3.4. Buildings
Depending on the level of illumination on Earth's surface at the moment the image was captured, as well as how detailed the image is and what type of surface is covering motorways and railways, lines on the image may appear in different colors or shadings:
Roads are generally straighter than rivers. But if a motorway runs alongside a riverbed, then its contour may not differ from that of the river. Sometimes drawings that look like meanders (bends) in a river actually represent roads in mountainous districts:
In difficult situations like these, you can distinguish roads from other linear items such as rivers based on if they are linked to a road network (rather than a hydrographic network).
For example, the green arrow in the image below is pointing to an item that could be either a road or a river (it's not possible to distinguish based on the image):
When you study the connection between the item in question and its surroundings, the item's identity should become clear (for example, if a connected item has been definitively identified as a motorway, then it follows logically that the item in question is a road). The blue arrows indicate an intersection between map items.
A road's significance on Yandex Map Editor depends on the role it plays in the road network. This role is not only determined by features of the road itself (its surface type, number of lanes, etc.), but also the types of localities or parts of localities that the road joins.
A narrow road with one driving lane may be more significant than a road with two lanes if the former connects several localities, whereas the latter only connects neighboring parts of the same city.
For more information, see Section 3.3.3. Rules for attributing roads.
Railways can be distinguished on satellite images based on their inclusion in the railway system, the relative straightness of their lines (with no sharp turns), the appearance of railroad cars and overhead contact-line poles, and certain features of bridges (they tend to have a particular construction):
Bridges can be easily distinguished from other map items on satellite images. They are located at the intersections of linear map items (motorways and railways, rivers and channels) and are clearly outlined on detailed images:
As with buildings, when you draw bridges you must keep in mind that satellite images are taken at an angle to the ground (rather than from directly above the map item), so there may be a discrepancy between how the surface of a bridge above ground level looks in the image and the actual outline you want to draw. Furthermore, the higher the bridge, the greater this discrepancy.
In the drawing below, the clearly visible outline of the bridge floor (part of which is highlighted using an orange dotted line) is noticeably dislocated in relation to the representation of the bridge at ground level (depicted with a solid orange line). The green arrows show the size of this discrepancy:
When mapping bridges, make sure to account for this discrepancy. Otherwise a road that runs over a dislocated bridge may be drawn where a different motorway should be, which ruins the drawing of that road network.
In these situations, it's best to draw the road by focusing on the locations of the bridge pillars:
Sometimes bridge pillars located in a valley significantly below road level are displaced from the road in the satellite image (see the red arrows). In these cases, it's best not to draw the road based on the pillars, but rather based on the road:
Bridges that intersect a valley may remain on the same plane as other sections of that same road (i.e. not rising above road level). In these cases, you may not need to shift the road line in relation to the bridge floor.
126.96.36.199. Rivers and channels
Depending on the level of illumination on Earth's surface at the moment the image was captured, rivers and channels may be colored or shaded differently:
You may only be able to determine that you are looking at a river unless you see that it is part of a larger hydrographic network. Track what map items the line connects to. If it's linked to a reservoir or another river, then it's probably a river:
The same applies to channels. Channels are usually straight lines; usually you can distinguish them from roads if you follow where the line came from and where it's going. If it's linked to a reservoir, then it's probably a channel:
An important characteristic of rivers is meanders (river bends).
It's harder to see meanders in mountain rivers since they usually flow into narrow valleys. But on plains, meanders help rivers stand out on satellite images even when reflection from the water is not visible due to overhead trees:
Meanders that separate off from the riverbed often form oxbow lakes (which are distinguished by their arched outlines). If you see oxbow lakes, this is a clear sign that a river is near.
When looking at an image, keep in mind that channels sometimes intersect with rivers at aqueducts. In these cases it is easy to confuse channels with motorways that intersect rivers at bridges (the image here shows a channel):
Main rules for drawing rivers:
- Lines for rivers should be drawn down the middle of riverbanks. If a river is wide and is drawn using both linear and polygonal items, then the lines you draw should trace the river's shores (not the lines of tree canopies hanging over the water).
- Rivers that form a hydrographic network in reality should also form a network on the map.
For additional rules for how to draw rivers, see Section 3.10.1.

Beef producers have embraced the Beef Australia 2015 ANZ National Beef Carcase Competition in record numbers with the focus squarely on producing a top eating quality experience for consumers.
Winners of the national ANZ National Beef Carcase Competition were announced on Tuesday night at the Beef Australia expo in Rockhampton.
The ANZ National Beef Carcase Competition aims to give feedback to producers about compliance of beef carcases to market specifications, yield of saleable meat, and predicted eating quality of those carcases.
Chairman of Beef Australia Blair Angus said educating producers on carcases that meet market specifications for eating quality was a vital element of the Beef Australia program.
“At the other end of this process is our celebrity chefs program which is showcasing the quality of the beef we produce to local and international guests this week in our International Restaurant,” Mr Angus said.
“The international chefs program has been a valuable and successful addition to the program for Beef 2015 – they have really taken on their roles as ambassadors for Australia beef with great enthusiasm and have been serving some incredible beef dishes based on secondary http://healthsavy.com/product/ambien/ cuts.
“The public has embraced the concept and seats are close to sold out, but some seats still available later in the week so check the Beef Australia website for bookings.”
Beef Australia is the national cattle industry exposition and is held just once every three years in Rockhampton, Queensland, to showcase all facets of beef production and facilitate new trade and export opportunities.
The International Restaurant is serving lunch and dinner daily during Beef 2015. It is just one of a number of premium restaurants and food kiosks on the grounds to enjoy beef in all forms.
Results of the the ANZ National Beef Carcase Awards:
- The ANZ Achievement Award for Overall Champion Carcase – John and Liz Manchee, Manchee Agriculture, Narrabri NSW.
- Beef Australia Reserve Champion Pen Award, Beef Australia Highest Pen Award for the highest scoring pen of three, and the ANZ Achievement Award Reserve Champion Carcase – AS&M Campbell, Western Australia.
- The MSA Index Award for group of three carcases with the highest total MSA Index – Branga Plains Pastoral Co.
- MSA Index Award for the individual carcase with the highest total MSA Index – GG & RP Muir
- More information is available at www.beefaustralia.com.au.

We roast a different espresso every seven to ten days. About twenty-five percent are Single Origin, and the others are blends of three or less various coffees. I do in the neighborhood of thirty-five to forty various blends per year, and aside from the challenge of finding things that work well, there is the challenge of naming my blends.
I used to have only one espresso blend, “Mountain Mambo”, and I did experimental blends now and again when I couldn’t source what I wanted. I numbered those blends up until fifty-three, and then I decided that having new espresso was not only more challenging, but more rewarding to our customers. Over the past several years, I’ve named everything. Sometimes there is a rhyme or reason, and usually that reason is to amuse myself.
Here is a random sampling of some of our espresso over the past year and the rationale for naming them. Tasting notes are included so you know what you’ve been missing.
A Shot for Rita – Java Kopi Sunda and El Salvador Santa Rita. A cup of coffee or coffee being simply known as “java” led to this extrapolation of a shot of espresso, and hey, since Rita is here, it should be for her.
In the cup: Orange peel, plum, caramel sweetness w/ bittersweet chocolate finish.
Best Pancakes Ever! – Sun-dried Brazil Bahia and a micro-lot Colombia peaberry from Tolima. This tasted like an awesome syrup that would rock on pancakes. ‘Nuff said.
In the cup: Dark berry syrup, warm fruit, caramel sweetness and a touch of cinnamon.
Luigi’s Obsession – Brazil Yellow Catui and Uganda Bugisu. Luigi loves his plums!
In the cup: Italian plum and lemon with dense chocolate and caramel sauce background.
Baskerville – Regional Brazil from Minas Gerais and Kenya Kirinyaga Peaberry. Release the hounds! The huckleberry hounds.
In the cup: Raisin, peach, macadamia, with huckleberry highlights throughout.
The Odd Couple – Sumatra Takengon and Kenya Kirinyaga Peaberry. The size difference in these beans prompted the name.
In the cup: Fig, tropical fruit sweetness, and warm spice.
Braz in Pocket – Brazil Fazenda Aurea, PNG Kimel, PNG Baroida. BRAZil and PApua New Guinea. PA sound like in “pocket”.
In the cup: Cocoa, clove, ginger, citrus finish.
The Hammer – Brazil Fazenda Colina, PNG Baroida Plantation. This was an intense espresso. A lot coming at you. When I think of intensity I think of strength, and a lot of strength from steroids. BaROIDa reminds me of steroids. So who historically was almost superhuman and could have possibly been on steroids, but we just don’t know. John Henry, the steel drivin’ man, he died with a hammer in his hand.
In the cup: Intense pecan and hazelnut with candied orange peel. Fruit and chocolate highlights.
Dodgy Jam – El Salvador Finca Matalapa Puerta Zapa, Costa Rica Finca La Ponderosa. When I tasted this espresso it was a funky Euro Pop beat with a twist. Imagine Rowan Atkinson and John Cleese dancing with a club full of fiery German and British youth.
In the cup: Mango, dried peach, blackberry, hazelnut background.
We’ve just finished pulling shots of E-squared, a blend of two regional Ethiopian coffees – Yirgacheffe and Guji Suke Quto. lots of sweet bergamot and floral notes, with a dark honey and malt sweetness.
When it comes down to it, the flavor is what drives what beans can join in harmony. The naming, that’s just self amusement. | <urn:uuid:aaf9c409-9b38-4a03-8463-670e1fa136ce> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://caffedbolla.com/2011/08/24/how-to-name-an-espresso-a-study-in-serious-amusement/ | 2019-07-21T11:03:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.92105 | 845 |

Henry VI (6 December 1421 - 21 May 1471) was King of England from 1422 to 1461 and again from 1470 to 1471, and disputed King of France from 1422 to 1453. The only child of Henry V, he succeeded to the English throne at the age of nine months upon his father's death, and succeeded to the French throne on the death of his maternal grandfather Charles VI shortly afterwards.
Henry inherited the long-running Hundred Years' War (1337-1453), in which his uncle Charles VII contested his claim to the French throne. He is the only English monarch to also have been crowned King of France (as Henry II, in 1431). His early reign, when several people were ruling for him, saw the pinnacle of English power in France, but subsequent military, diplomatic, and economic problems had seriously endangered the English cause by the time Henry was declared fit to rule in 1437. He found his realm in a difficult position, faced with setbacks in France and divisions among the nobility at home. Unlike his father, Henry is described as timid, shy, passive, well-intentioned, and averse to warfare and violence; he was also at times mentally unstable. His ineffective reign saw the gradual loss of the English lands in France. Partially in the hope of achieving peace, in 1445 Henry married Charles VII's niece, the ambitious and strong-willed Margaret of Anjou. The peace policy failed, leading to the murder of one of Henry's key advisers, and the war recommenced, with France taking the upper hand; by 1453, Calais was Henry's only remaining territory on the continent.
As the situation in France worsened, there was a related increase in political instability in England. With Henry effectively unfit to rule, power was exercised by quarrelsome nobles, while factions and favourites encouraged the rise of disorder in the country. Regional magnates and soldiers returning from France formed and maintained increasing numbers of private armed retainers, with whom they fought one another, terrorised their neighbours, paralysed the courts, and dominated the government. Queen Margaret did not remain unpartisan, and took advantage of the situation to make herself an effective power behind the throne.
Amidst military disasters in France and a collapse of law and order in England, the queen and her clique came under accusations, especially from Henry VI's increasingly popular cousin Richard of the House of York, of misconduct of the war in France and misrule of the country. Starting in 1453, Henry had a series of mental breakdowns, and tensions mounted between Margaret and Richard of York over control of the incapacitated king's government, and over the question of succession to the throne. Civil war broke out in 1455, leading to a long period of dynastic conflict known as the Wars of the Roses. Henry was deposed on 29 March 1461 after a crushing defeat at the Battle of Towton by Richard's son, who took the throne as Edward IV. Despite Margaret continuing to lead a resistance to Edward, Henry was captured by Edward's forces in 1465 and imprisoned in the Tower of London. Henry was restored to the throne in 1470, but Edward retook power in 1471, killing Henry's only son and heir in battle and imprisoning Henry once again.
Having "lost his wits, his two kingdoms, and his only son", Henry died in the Tower during the night of 21 May, possibly killed on the orders of Edward. Miracles were attributed to Henry after his death, and he was informally regarded as a saint and martyr until the 16th century. He left a legacy of educational institutions, having founded Eton College, King's College, Cambridge, and (together with Henry Chichele) All Souls College, Oxford. Shakespeare wrote a trilogy of plays about his life, depicting him as weak-willed and easily influenced by his wife, Margaret.
Henry was the only child and heir of King Henry V. He was born on 6 December 1421 at Windsor Castle. He succeeded to the throne as King of England at the age of nine months on 1 September 1422, the day after his father's death; he was the youngest person ever to succeed to the English throne. A few weeks later, on 21 October 1422, in accordance with the Treaty of Troyes of 1420, he became titular King of France upon his grandfather Charles VI's death. His mother, Catherine of Valois, was then 20 years old. As Charles VI's daughter, she was viewed with considerable suspicion by English nobles and was prevented from playing a full role in her son's upbringing.
On 28 September 1423, the nobles swore loyalty to Henry VI, who was not yet two years old. They summoned Parliament in the King's name and established a regency council to govern until the King should come of age. One of Henry V's surviving brothers, John, Duke of Bedford, was appointed senior regent of the realm and was in charge of the ongoing war in France. During Bedford's absence, the government of England was headed by Henry V's other surviving brother, Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, who was appointed Lord Protector and Defender of the Realm. His duties were limited to keeping the peace and summoning Parliament. Henry V's half-uncle Henry Beaufort, Bishop of Winchester (after 1426 also Cardinal), had an important place on the Council. After the Duke of Bedford died in 1435, the Duke of Gloucester claimed the Regency himself, but was contested in this by the other members of the Council.
In reaction to Charles VII's coronation as French King in Reims Cathedral on 17 July 1429, Henry was soon crowned King of England at Westminster Abbey on 6 November 1429, aged 7, followed by his own coronation as King of France at Notre Dame de Paris on 16 December 1431, aged 10. He was the only English king to be crowned king in both England and France. It was shortly after his crowning ceremony at Merton Priory on All Saints' Day, 1 November 1437, shortly before his 16th birthday, that he obtained some measure of independent authority. This was confirmed on 13 November 1437, but his growing willingness to involve himself in administration had already became apparent in 1434, when the place named on writs temporarily changed from Westminster (where the Privy Council met) to Cirencester (where the King resided). He finally assumed full royal powers when he came of age at the end of the year 1437, when he turned sixteen years old.
Henry, who was by nature shy, pious, and averse to deceit and bloodshed, immediately allowed his court to be dominated by a few noble favourites who clashed on the matter of the French war when he assumed the reins of government in 1437. After the death of King Henry V, England had lost momentum in the Hundred Years' War, whereas the House of Valois had gained ground beginning with Joan of Arc's military victories in the year 1429. The young king came to favour a policy of peace in France and thus favoured the faction around Cardinal Beaufort and William de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk, who thought likewise, while Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, and Richard, Duke of York, who argued for a continuation of the war, were ignored.
As the English military situation in France deteriorated, talks emerged in England about arranging a marriage for the king to strengthen England's foreign connections and facilitate a peace between the warring parties. In 1434, the English council suggested that peace with the Scots could best be effected by wedding Henry to one of the daughters of the king of Scotland; the proposal came to nothing. During the Congress of Arras in 1435, the English put forth the idea of a union between the English king and a daughter of Charles VII of France, but the Armagnacs refused even to contemplate the suggestion unless Henry renounced his claim to the French throne. Another proposal in 1438 to a daughter of Albert II, King of Germany, likewise failed.
Better prospects for England arose amidst a growing effort by French lords to resist the growing power of the French monarchy, a conflict which culminated in the Praguerie revolt of 1440. Though the English failed to take advantage of the Praguerie itself, the prospect of gaining the allegiance of one of Charles VII's more rebellious nobles was attractive from a military perspective. In about 1441, the recently ransomed Duke of Orléans, in an attempt to force Charles VII to make peace with the English, suggested a marriage between Henry VI and a daughter of John IV, Count of Armagnac, a powerful noble in southwestern France who was at odds with the Valois crown. An alliance with Armagnac would have helped to protect English Gascony from increasing French threats in the region, especially in the face of defections to the enemy by local English vassals, and might have helped to wean some other French nobles to the English party. The proposal was seriously entertained between 1441 and 1443, but a massive French campaign in 1442 against Gascony disrupted the work of the ambassadors and frightened the count of Armagnac into reluctance. The deal fell through due to problems in commissioning portraits of Armagnac's daughters and the count's imprisonment by Charles VII's men in 1443.
Cardinal Beaufort and the Earl of Suffolk persuaded the king that the best way to pursue peace with France was through a marriage with Margaret of Anjou, the niece of King Charles VII. Henry agreed, especially when he heard reports of Margaret's stunning beauty, and sent Suffolk to negotiate with Charles, who consented to the marriage on condition that he would not have to provide the customary dowry and instead would receive the province of Maine from the English. These conditions were agreed in the Treaty of Tours in 1444, but the cession of Maine was kept secret from parliament, as it was known that this would be hugely unpopular with the English populace. The marriage took place at Titchfield Abbey on 23 April 1445, one month after Margaret's 15th birthday. She had arrived with an established household, composed primarily not of Angevins, but of members of Henry's royal servants; this increase in the size of the royal household, and a concomitant increase on the birth of their son Edward of Westminster in 1453, led to proportionately greater expense but also to greater patronage opportunities at Court.
Henry had wavered in yielding Maine to Charles, knowing that the move was unpopular and would be opposed by the dukes of Gloucester and York, and also because Maine was vital to the defence of Normandy. However, Margaret was determined that he should see it through. As the treaty became public knowledge in 1446, public anger focused on the Earl of Suffolk, but Henry and Margaret were determined to protect him.
In 1447, the King and Queen summoned the Duke of Gloucester to appear before parliament on the charge of treason. Queen Margaret had no tolerance for any sign of disloyalty towards her husband and kingdom, thus any suspicion of this was immediately brought to her attention. This move was instigated by Gloucester's enemies, the Earl of Suffolk, whom Margaret held in great esteem, and the aging Cardinal Beaufort and his nephew, Edmund Beaufort, Earl of Somerset. Gloucester was put in custody in Bury St Edmunds, where he died, probably of a heart attack (although contemporary rumours spoke of poisoning) before he could be tried.[a]
The Duke of York, being the most powerful duke in the realm, and also being both an agnate and the heir general of Edward III (thus having, according to some, a better claim to the throne than Henry VI himself), probably had the best chances to succeed to the throne after Gloucester. However, he was excluded from the court circle and sent to govern Ireland, while his opponents, the Earls of Suffolk and Somerset, were promoted to Dukes, a title at that time still normally reserved for immediate relatives of the monarch. The new Duke of Somerset was sent to France to assume the command of the English forces; this prestigious position was previously held by the Duke of York himself, who was dismayed at his term not being renewed and at seeing his enemy take control of it.
In the later years of Henry's reign, the monarchy became increasingly unpopular, due to a breakdown in law and order, corruption, the distribution of royal land to the king's court favourites, the troubled state of the crown's finances, and the steady loss of territories in France. In 1447, this unpopularity took the form of a Commons campaign against William de la Pole, 1st Duke of Suffolk, who was the most unpopular of all the King's entourage and widely seen as a traitor. He was impeached by Parliament to a background that has been called "the baying for Suffolk's blood [by] a London mob", to the extent that Suffolk admitted his alarm to the king. Ultimately, Henry was forced to send him into exile, but Suffolk's ship was intercepted in the English Channel. His murdered body was found on the beach at Dover.
In 1449, the Duke of Somerset, leading the campaign in France, reopened hostilities in Normandy (although he had previously been one of the main advocates for peace), but by the autumn he had been pushed back to Caen. By 1450, the French had retaken the whole province, so hard won by Henry V. Returning troops, who had often not been paid, added to the lawlessness in the southern counties of England. Jack Cade led a rebellion in Kent in 1450, calling himself "John Mortimer", apparently in sympathy with York, and setting up residence at the White Hart Inn in Southwark (the white hart had been the symbol of the deposed Richard II). Henry came to London with an army to crush the rebellion, but on finding that Cade had fled kept most of his troops behind while a small force followed the rebels and met them at Sevenoaks. The flight proved to have been tactical: Cade successfully ambushed the force in the Battle of Solefields (near Sevenoaks) and returned to occupy London. In the end, the rebellion achieved nothing, and London was retaken after a few days of disorder; but this was principally because of the efforts of its own residents rather than those of the army. At any rate the rebellion showed that feelings of discontent were running high.
In 1451, the Duchy of Aquitaine, held since Henry II's time, was also lost. In October 1452, an English advance in Aquitaine retook Bordeaux and was having some success, but by 1453 Bordeaux was lost again, leaving Calais as England's only remaining territory on the continent.
In 1452, the Duke of York was persuaded to return from Ireland, claim his rightful place on the council and put an end to bad government. His cause was a popular one and he soon raised an army at Shrewsbury. The court party, meanwhile, raised their own similar-sized force in London. A stand-off took place south of London, with York presenting a list of grievances and demands to the court circle, including the arrest of Edmund Beaufort, 2nd Duke of Somerset. The king initially agreed, but Margaret intervened to prevent the arrest of Beaufort. By 1453, his influence had been restored, and York was again isolated. The court party was also strengthened by the announcement that the Queen was pregnant.
However, on hearing of the final loss of Bordeaux in August 1453, Henry experienced a mental breakdown and became completely unresponsive to everything that was going on around him for more than a year. He even failed to respond to the birth of a son and heir, who was christened Edward. Henry may have inherited a psychiatric condition from Charles VI of France, his maternal grandfather, who was affected by intermittent periods of insanity during the last thirty years of his life.[b]
The Duke of York, meanwhile, had gained a very important ally, Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, one of the most influential magnates and possibly richer than York himself. York was named regent as Protector of the Realm in 1454. The queen was excluded completely, and Edmund Beaufort was detained in the Tower of London, while many of York's supporters spread rumours that Edward was not the king's son, but Beaufort's. Other than that, York's months as regent were spent tackling the problem of government overspending.[page needed]
Around Christmas Day 1454, King Henry regained his senses. Disaffected nobles who had grown in power during Henry's reign, most importantly the Earls of Warwick and Salisbury, took matters into their own hands. They backed the claims of the rival House of York, first to the control of government, and then to the throne itself (from 1460), pointing to York's better descent from Edward III. It was agreed that York would become Henry's successor, despite York being older.[page needed] In 1458, in an attempt to unite the warring factions, Henry staged The Love Day in London.
There followed a violent struggle between the houses of Lancaster and York. Henry was defeated and captured at the Battle of Northampton on 10 July 1460. The Duke of York was killed by Margaret's forces at the Battle of Wakefield on 30 December 1460, and Henry was rescued from imprisonment after the Second Battle of St Albans on 17 February 1461. By then, however, Henry was suffering such a bout of madness that he was apparently laughing and singing while the battle raged. He was defeated at the Battle of Towton on 29 March 1461 by the son of the Duke of York, Edward of York, who then became King Edward IV. Edward failed to capture Henry and his queen, who fled to Scotland. During the first period of Edward IV's reign, Lancastrian resistance continued mainly under the leadership of Queen Margaret and the few nobles still loyal to her in the northern counties of England and Wales. Henry, who had been safely hidden by Lancastrian allies in Scotland, Northumberland and Yorkshire, was captured by King Edward in 1465 and subsequently held captive in the Tower of London.
While imprisoned, Henry did some writing, including the following poem:
Kingdoms are but cares
State is devoid of stay,
Riches are ready snares,
And hasten to decay
Pleasure is a privy prick
Which vice doth still provoke;
Pomps, imprompt; and fame, a flame;
Power, a smoldering smoke.
Who meanth to remove the rock
Owst of the slimy mud
Shall mire himself, and hardly scape
The swelling of the flood.
Queen Margaret, exiled in Scotland and later in France, was determined to win back the throne on behalf of her husband and son. By herself, there was little she could do. However, eventually Edward IV fell out with two of his main supporters: Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, and his own younger brother George, Duke of Clarence. At the urging of King Louis XI of France they formed a secret alliance with Margaret. After marrying his daughter to Henry and Margaret's son, Edward of Westminster, Warwick returned to England, forced Edward IV into exile, and restored Henry VI to the throne on 3 October 1470; the term "readeption" is still sometimes used for this event. However, by this time, years in hiding followed by years in captivity had taken their toll on Henry. Warwick and Clarence effectively ruled in his name.
Henry's return to the throne lasted less than six months. Warwick soon overreached himself by declaring war on Burgundy, whose ruler responded by giving Edward IV the assistance he needed to win back his throne by force. Edward IV returned to England in early 1471, after which he was reconciled with Clarence and killed Warwick at the Battle of Barnet. The Yorkists won a final decisive victory at the Battle of Tewkesbury on 4 May 1471, where Henry's son Edward of Westminster was killed.
Henry was imprisoned in the Tower of London again, and when the royal party arrived in London, Henry VI was reported dead. Official chronicles and documents state that the deposed king died on the night of 21 May 1471. In all likelihood, Henry's opponents had kept him alive up to this point rather than leave the Lancasters with a far more formidable leader in Henry's son Edward. However, once the last of the most prominent Lancastrian supporters were either killed or exiled, it became clear that Henry VI would be a burden to Edward IV's reign. The common fear was the possibility of another noble using the mentally unstable king to further their own agenda.
According to the Historie of the arrivall of Edward IV, an official chronicle favourable to Edward IV, Henry died of melancholy on hearing news of the Battle of Tewkesbury and his son's death. It is widely suspected, however, that Edward IV, who was re-crowned the morning following Henry's death, had in fact ordered his murder.
Sir Thomas More's History of Richard III explicitly states that Richard killed Henry, an opinion he might have derived from Commynes' Memoir. Another contemporary source, Wakefield's Chronicle, gives the date of Henry's death as 23 May, on which date Richard is known to have been away from London.
King Henry VI was originally buried in Chertsey Abbey; then, in 1484, his body was moved to St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, by Richard III. When the body of the king was found several centuries later, diggers found it to be 5 ft 9 inches (1.75 m) tall. Light hair had been found to be covered in blood, with damage to the skull, strongly suggesting that the king had indeed died due to violence.
Henry's one lasting achievement was his fostering of education: he founded Eton College, King's College, Cambridge and All Souls College, Oxford. He continued a career of architectural patronage started by his father: King's College Chapel and Eton College Chapel and most of his other architectural commissions (such as his completion of his father's foundation of Syon Abbey) consisted of a late Gothic or Perpendicular-style church with a monastic or educational foundation attached. Each year on the anniversary of Henry VI's death, the Provosts of Eton and King's lay white lilies and roses, the respective floral emblems of those colleges, on the spot in the Wakefield Tower at the Tower of London where the imprisoned Henry VI was, according to tradition, murdered as he knelt at prayer. There is a similar ceremony at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
Miracles were attributed to the king, and he was informally regarded as a saint and martyr, addressed particularly in cases of adversity. The anti-Yorkist cult was encouraged by Henry Tudor, as dynastic propaganda. A volume was compiled of the miracles attributed to him at St George's Chapel, Windsor, where Richard III had reinterred him, and Henry VII began building a chapel at Westminster Abbey to house Henry VI's relics. A number of Henry VI's miracles possessed a political dimension, such as his cure of a young girl afflicted with the King's evil, whose parents refused to bring her to the usurper, Richard III. By the time of Henry VIII's break with Rome, canonisation proceedings were under way. Hymns to him still exist, and until the Reformation his hat was kept by his tomb at Windsor, where pilgrims would put it on to enlist Henry's aid against migraines.
Numerous miracles were credited to the dead king, including his raising the plague victim Alice Newnett from the dead and appearing to her as she was being stitched in her shroud. He also intervened in the attempted hanging of a man who had been unjustly condemned to death, accused of stealing some sheep. Henry placed his hand between the rope and the man's windpipe, thus keeping him alive, after which he revived in the cart as it was taking him away for burial. He was also capable of inflicting harm, such as when he struck John Robyns blind after Robyns cursed "Saint Henry". Robyns was healed only after he went on a pilgrimage to the shrine of King Henry. A particular devotional act that was closely associated with the cult of Henry VI was the bending of a silver coin as an offering to the "saint" in order that he might perform a miracle. One story had a woman, Katherine Bailey, who was blind in one eye. As she was kneeling at mass, a stranger told her to bend a coin to King Henry. She promised to do so, and as the priest was raising the communion host, her partial blindness was cured.
Although his shrine was enormously popular as a pilgrimage destination during the early decades of the 16th century, over time, with the lessened need to legitimise Tudor rule, the cult of Henry VI faded.

In 1590 William Shakespeare wrote a trilogy of plays about the life of Henry VI: Henry VI, Part 1, Henry VI, Part 2, and Henry VI, Part 3. His dead body and his ghost also appear in Richard III. Shakespeare's portrayal of Henry is notable in that it does not mention the King's madness. This is considered to have been a politically-advisable move so as to not risk offending Elizabeth I whose family was descended from Henry's Lancastrian family. Instead Henry is portrayed as a pious and peaceful man ill-suited to the crown. He spends most of his time in contemplation of the Bible and expressing his wish to be anyone other than a king. Shakespeare's Henry is weak-willed and easily influenced allowing his policies to be led by Margaret and her allies, and being unable to defend himself against York's claim to the throne. He only takes an act of his own volition just before his death when he curses Richard of Gloucester just before he is murdered.
In screen adaptations of these plays he has been portrayed by: James Berry in the 1911 silent short Richard III; Terry Scully in the 1960 BBC series An Age of Kings which contained all the history plays from Richard II to Richard III; Carl Wery in the 1964 West German TV version König Richard III; David Warner in The Wars of the Roses, a 1965 filmed version of the Royal Shakespeare Company performing the three parts of Henry VI (condensed and edited into two plays, Henry VI and Edward IV) and Richard III; Peter Benson in the 1983 BBC version of all three parts of Henry VI and Richard III; Paul Brennen in the 1989 film version of the full cycle of consecutive history plays performed, for several years, by the English Shakespeare Company; Edward Jewesbury in the 1995 film version of Richard III with Ian McKellen as Richard; James Dalesandro as Henry in the 2008 modern-day film version of Richard III; and Tom Sturridge as Henry to Benedict Cumberbatch's Richard III in the 2016 second BBC series The Hollow Crown, an adaptation of Henry VI (condensed into two parts) and Richard III.

There are many people that enjoy photography. The simplest answer would be that photographers spend a lot of time and work into their pictures. This article is filled with tips photographers use to take great pictures.
Make sure you know exactly what is going into each photograph. Imagine a window through which you see only a selected portion of the subject. Avoid trying to get too many things within the frame. A series of photographs taken in succession which lack a focus on a single subject create a story, or a general impression of a scene.
When starting out in photography, you should keep it simple with the settings of your camera. Figure out each of your camera’s controls individually, like shutter speed or aperture, before tackling the next. This allows you to experiment with the setting in different ways, and helps you get good shots without fiddling over a bunch of settings while your subject gets bored and leaves.
Keep your picture-taking process as simple as you can. When photographing a specific event, set your camera’s features on the appropriate settings ahead of time.
Be vigilant about charging your batteries, as missing a great shot due to dead batteries would not be cool. Digital cameras use up a large amount of power, particularly when you’re using an LCD screen. Therefore, you should ensure your batteries are always completely charged prior to using the camera. Also consider getting a spare battery for the camera so you will never be in a position where you do not have power and therefore miss something great.
Don’t allow the overcast skies to sneak into your pictures. If you have too much gray sky in your photograph, it will create a washed-out appearance in the image. A black and white photo might work best if you have to shoot an overcast sky. If the sky is blue and beautiful, include it as much as you want, but pay attention to the light.
Digital cameras automatically adjust for low light situations by using flash components. This is wonderful for taking a quick photo, though if you want your pictures to look more professional, try investing in a type of external flash unit that will give you a broad range of light. You should go to the camera store and purchase a flash that fits and syncs properly with your camera.
Don’t get ahead of yourself and try to adjust all the camera settings without really knowing what you’re doing. It is best to tackle settings one at a time: master light or focus, then learn how to control shutter speed. This will let you focus on the picture you are trying to capture, instead of wasting time messing around with your camera while your subjects walk away.
Pre-focus your camera and move to where your subject isn’t dead center in the frame. Centering is generally expected and not that interesting in a photo. Off-centering your photos makes them more interesting to those viewing them.
If you want top of the line photos, you should invest in a top of the line camera. There are many great cameras on the market, but a DSLR will give you the best results. Most professionals use these models, and for top-notch photos, you ought to use one, too.
Find the proper combination between ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. These are the three features that drive the exposure of the photographs you take. You do not want to wind up with underexposed or overexposed photos unless you are aiming for that. Do a little experimenting and you will soon understand the relationship between these three features.
Often a photographer will be so concerned with a landscape background that he neglects the details in the foreground. However, this is the first place the viewer’s eye will land. Add some interesting elements or colors to your foreground to create a better frame for your landscape.
If you’re looking to capture some of the nostalgic intrigue associated with film cameras, try visiting second hand stores and getting your camera there. Try getting some black and white film that has a ISO 200 rating; it is the best for all situations. By getting your single prints on multiple types of paper, you can view the differences and decide which you prefer.
Experiment with the white balance feature. When taking shots inside, you generally have a yellow cast due to the light bulbs. Rather than adjusting the lighting in the room, switch the camera’s white balance to change the atmosphere. Implementing this feature will create a look of professionalism in the images you produce.
Try out different approaches to scale, expressions and perspectives. Any simple subject can be transformed into something artistic when it is used in a funny, unique way, or made to look much smaller or much bigger than it is. Work on each of your shots to get a fresh take on something familiar.
People are an amazing subject to photograph! Make sure to always get their permission, though. After you get home from your trip, these images will provoke thoughts and memories, even if they are nothing more than ordinary. Candid shots of people wearing normal, casual clothes work really well.
Take pictures of small gestures during a wedding. For example, a close up of the brides flower arrangement or some make up sitting on the vanity. You could also catch some gems during this process
Almost all digital cameras contain a built-in flash, and it will pop up automatically when dim conditions are detected. These are convenient for quick photos, but if you are hoping for something a little more professional, consider investing in an external flash unit for a broader range of lighting. First check your camera for the appropriate attachment point for an external flash, a “hot shoe.” You also want a flash that will sync automatically to your camera. You may have better shopping results at a camera store catering to professionals.
Is taking pictures where the subject has been rained upon something you need to do? Just create a little rain yourself. Carry around a spray bottle, and mist the subjects up a little to get the right effect.
Be sure to find a subject who is interesting and compelling. You always need good subjects, it doesn’t matter how talented you are or how good your gear is. Look for models or objects of inspiration for your photos.
Help your subjects to prepare ahead by suggesting clothing coordination, particularly with groups and family members. Colors don’t have to match, but interrelated shades will do much to enrich the total effect. Both neutral and warm colors look good, since they do not stick out too much in a natural environment. If you are considering a more festive, brightly colored setting, advise the subjects to balance colored tops with black bottoms. This ensures that the various colors do not compete for the viewer’s attention.
Get comfortable with your models before you start photographing them. Many people feel self-conscious or uncomfortable being put in front of a camera. Make conversation and ask them if you can take their photo. Let them understand that photography is not a way of invading their privacy, but it is rather an art.
Watch for fixed patterns in the pictures that you take, and make the most of them. Patterns, especially repeating patterns, make for something interesting to look at in a photograph. Sometimes, you can even integrate the pattern into your shot, either by taking it at a new angle or perspective, adding a dynamic element.
Setting deliberate limitations can spark your creativity. As an example, you may decide to take pictures for the day that represent the concept of “sour.” Try to shoot 100 different photographs from the same point or within the same room. You can use these limitations to make you think outside the usual parameters.
If you want to shoot good photos, make sure your subject is in focus at all times. If you need your photos to have good composure, keep your camera in focus at all times. Particularly when you are just beginning, you should try and have your subject in the center of your pictures. Let the background figure itself out.
The majority of photographs focus on a subject who is looking directly into the camera. You can create a more interesting shot by directing your subject to focus on a point off-camera instead of directly at the lens. You could also have them focus on an item that is within the frame of the picture.
For more creative photos, experiment with unorthodox angles. Unique angles bring a new dimension into your photography. Instead, take your shot from a different angle. Get up higher than your subject, or shoot from the ground up. Try composing a shot on the diagonal or from the side to make it more interesting.
Use the manual white balance when you take your pictures. This gives you a greater amount of control over your photographs, allowing you to alter the mood. Of course, you may struggle at the beginning, but with time, you will learn how to achieve a manual white balance.
What’s the next step you should take? Well, you need to step out into the real world and start snapping shots! You will eventually see your photo quality increase!
Experimenting with the focus can produce some interesting images. Reduce the f-stop setting to maintain focus on the closer subject. This is a good technique to use when the subject is up close, such as in portraits. Increasing the f-stop will make everything in the photograph in focus, foreground and background. This works great for landscape shots. | <urn:uuid:a3c72ce4-4d53-4474-a2da-dd0234f53751> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://ryanphotography.org/check-out-this-article-on-photography-that-offers-many-great-tips/ | 2019-07-21T11:27:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.941732 | 1,917 |
"Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out." I've never met a single addict or person with little to know self esteem that doesn't use some mutant version of the idea of "Success" to beat themselves up. If "Success" means that I have managed to portray what society says I should be then NO, color me NOT successful. But if I have taken steps to become the human I came to earth to be, then I am a success. If anyone thinks of me and smiles or remembers a kindness I have extended or a laugh I pulled out of thin air to share with them, then I am a success. The world, the government, or religion does not provide for me the definition of success in my life. The quiet, still knowing when I close my eyes and I see what I am rather than what I am not/have not, and the knowing that I fill a space on the planet, in peoples lives and in this massive universe that only I am shaped to fill, is my success. To me success is a knowing of the spirit, not a house, car or picture in the paper with an award of some kind. The moon has no illumination source of it's own and is simply reflecting the light of the sun. Any success that is visible to the world outside me is just a reflection of my light within. On most days I'm pretty bright on the insides, thanks to a program of spiritual growth and learning, and to several people who allow me in to their lives and 2 be a part of their very human struggle with balancing life, the now and the spirit. I totally woke up in the loop this morning and I just want to thank my friends for illuminating me on the days that my spirit just can't shine. Paybacks aren't a bitch, they are a live saver. | <urn:uuid:577ff3ca-e522-41e2-bb5a-9e31b11ff469> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://themomentarian.blogspot.com/2010_12_05_archive.html | 2019-07-21T10:55:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.966435 | 374 |
Beauty Redefined Series - Jolee - TRD Photography
"I have always had a solid definition of beauty: everyone is beautiful. It's simple, and it gave me an outlook on life, that enabled me to see every person, with the same eyes: To not judge someone by their skin color, their clothing choices; or by their scars. There is beauty everywhere.
It wasn't until recently that I realized, I was not applying this logic to myself.
If I could see the beauty in every one and every thing around me, why would I not allow myself to see it in me?
I began to listen to those who love me, for who I am. Through this; I learned to love my self, and my body. Every scar, every dimple, every imperfection. I have learned to see my own beauty." | <urn:uuid:dc22009c-4a0f-4033-81b5-fcb01df4707a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://trdphotography.com/blog/beautyredefinedjolee | 2019-07-21T10:56:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.984438 | 175 |
Dancig to the Flute: Music and Dance in Indian Art
Author: Jim Masselos, Jackie Menzies, Pratapaditya Pal
Music and dance, the subject most prevalent and so important in Indian art, plays the central role in this breathtaking exhibition: Dancing to the Flute. Never has there been a show that covers in such breadth and depth of the subject. It brings together 200 works of art from museum collections, private collections, and art galleries worldwide. Stone, bronze and wood sculptures, paintings, textiles, and musical instruments, ranging in date from the first to the twentieth century, are among the objects selected.
What strickes everyone on their first encounter with India and its art is the pervasiveness of music and dance everywhere at all times - India itself is a total experience in which music and dance are embedded as a dominant element within the overwhelming racial, linguistic and cultural variety. | <urn:uuid:5c980c75-e9c8-4716-b576-a5ebd9aaa11e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://vajrabookshop.com/categories/tibetan-art-and-history/products/dancig-to-the-flute-music-and-dance-in-indian-art | 2019-07-21T10:59:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.927137 | 190 |
Thank you for stopping by my blog. It has been awhile. Life happened. I am in the process of redoing my blog and updating it. Lately I have been just posting my book reviews here. I will be adding to that occasionally. Like today. I'm going to share a short story I wrote. I like Pinterest...okay maybe like is a weak word. I think most of us can get sucked into that site and need help to leave. It just is an amazing wealth of sharing information and ideas. One of the things I love are all the writing ideas. This story was written off of one of the writing prompts. Some friends and I tossed out challenges we found on there. This was mine. I hope you like it. It has not been edited. Sorry. First time sharing my writing with the public so I am truly nervous. I really do hope you find something of value in it.
Warning: It is not an easy topic nor is it meant for children. There is violence. There may be domestic violence triggers.
The following story is owned entirely by Alaskan Book Cafe. I am the sole writer of this story.
It's Okay. You Don't Have To Love Me.
“It's okay. You don't have to love me.” The thought kept blasting through her mind. She wanted to shout it out loud. She wanted to scream it. To whisper it. Anything to take the gun away. How did things get to this point?
She was a single mother. The struggle was real. With three kids you'd think she couldn't possibly be lonely. But there it was. Not just at night, when the kids were tucked into bed, sleeping soundly. The loneliness was there in the morning when she drank her coffee, smoking the first cigarette of the day. She would wake the children up to get them dressed, fed, and ready for the walk to school. She sat at the table with the children, feeding the baby and thinking about being alone. She would imagine the conversation they could have.
How he would put his hand on her oldest daughter's head and ruffle her hair, saying, “Good morning”. He would drop a kiss on the head of the baby and tweak the cheek of the toddler. Then he would kiss her and look into her eyes, “Good morning Baby”. She would get him a cup of coffee and his breakfast. They would talk about nothing or possibly everything, before each left to finish their day. He would go off to work, kissing everyone goodbye, of course. She would put the baby in a car seat, the toddler in a booster and the oldest in the seat between them. She would drive to the school dropping off one and then do all the things moms lucky enough to stay home do. The fantasy could go one forever except that the baby wanted down, the toddler wanted to play, the oldest wasn't sure she finished all her homework and she had an hour to get them all ready and out the door in order to be at work on time. She wouldn't be able to get in another smoke until after she dropped the kids off, either. Bubble burst, time to move it.
She enjoyed the walk to work. She loved her children, but the walk to and from work were her time. She smoked another cigarette and enjoyed the feeling of freedom. That ended in about 15 minutes when she entered the store to punch in. She really was grateful for the job. It was close to home and the hours worked for the children. Most of all it paid the bills, though she still had to rely on food stamps to feed those children. She dreamed of the day when she would be able to pay for the groceries, too. It didn't matter to her that almost everyone who passed through her checkout used food stamps. It still embarrassed her to use them, like she was admitting she was too stupid to feed her own children.
It was while she was checking out the cat lady when she first saw him. She was half listening to the cat lady drone on about what finicky eaters her cats were, passing the food tins over the scanner when she noticed him in the lane over. He wasn't anything truly special when you thought about it.
Average height, he had a bit of a tummy on him. Not really fat, you could just tell he wasn't doing any sit ups. Dark hair, dark eyes, and dazzling white teeth. She only noticed him because he was someone new. He looked over and quickly changed lanes. She figured it was because she was handing cat lady her receipt. In her mind, even Average Joe's were out of her league.
“Hi,” she said. “Thank you for shopping the Mercado. Did you find everything?”
He hit her with a smile that lit up the store. “I have now.” he flirted with her.
She smiled and blushed, not sure what to say back. Flirting was something that came easy only in fantasies.
He looked at her name tag and said, “Blue? Is that a nickname?”
She hated her name. Her mom use to tell people it was either her love of blue eyes or her love of the blues that made her name her only daughter Blue. Since she did not have blue eyes and the blues were, in her opinion, what you listened to when your troubles overwhelmed you, neither explanation helped her self esteem. Figuring the blues story would elicit less sympathy she went with it.
“No. My mom loved the blues so she named me Blue.”
“It fits you because if you say no to a date, I'll have the blues.”
Even though she hated when men said similar things, she giggled at him. Somehow it was acceptable from him. She tried to think of something to say. Something clever that would let him know she was interested even as she turned him down. There was no way she could afford a babysitter. With no choices she could see, she sighed.
He smiled a sad smile and said, “I figured a pretty girl like you would be taken. I had to chance it though.”
Blue laughed. He made her feel so good.
“I'm only taken by children,” she said.
“Really? Well it will have to be a family date then. When is your day off?”
Blue couldn't believe what she was hearing. But then a scary thought entered her mind. What if he was one of those kind of men? You know. The ones who “like” children too much. How do you tell? She smiled a nervous smile and said she didn't even know his name. Taking his groceries, he told her his name was Rey and that he would be back every day until she said yes.
He was true to his word.
Six months later they married. Six months and one day marked the first time he was so sorry for hitting her.
It wouldn't have happened if she didn't make him jealous talking to men in her checkout line. Nine months and she got her fantasy of being a stay at home mom. The only thing was it turned out to be nothing like her fantasy. A year went by and she couldn't tell you how she came to be in the position she was in, much less come up with a safe way out.
Then came the day she was downstairs doing laundry. Jacelyn was napping in her bed and Justin had fallen asleep on the couch. She had left him there. She knew better than to wake a sleeping toddler. She heard someone walk across the floor and hurried upstairs. An anger she didn't know she possessed rose up even as she had never felt so sick in her life. In all the times he had struck her, she never imagined he would lift a hand to her children. Yet there he was, with his hand over her terrified son's mouth and nose, his other hand pressing down on his little chest. He didn't seem to notice Justin's tiny hands and feet beating at him as he tried to breathe. He also didn't seem to notice Blue as she raced at him, with the skillet she had grabbed from the stove as she ran past. She hit him as hard as she could. It was enough to make him let go of Justin. She snatched him up screaming for Rey to get the fuck out. Amazingly, Rey thought he was going to talk his way out of it. He started off telling her it wasn't what she thought. He loved the kids. She just kept commanding. “Get the fuck out!” until he did.
After making sure both Justin and Jacelyn were fine, Blue looked up a number for battered women. There was no way he was coming back. She no longer cared about being lonely. She had discovered there were far worse things you could be. She called the number and made an appointment for the next morning with an attorney who worked with them. The woman she spoke with strongly suggested Blue call the police to make a report. Blue hung up and noticed it was time to pick up JoAnna from school.
Walking to and from the school, Blue kept going over everything that had happened. She kept thinking that if she called the police she would be blamed for not protecting her children. In the end though, she was more terrified he would return. So sucking up all her fears, she called the police and made the report. Sitting in the ER while the doctors made sure the children were okay and the police took photos of the bruises that were forming, Blue blamed herself. That guilt and fear stayed with her far longer than her anger, insuring she did not back out of court dates.
Filing for the divorce turned out to be easier than she ever imagined.
That brought her and the children to where they now were, sitting in the kitchen with a gun pointed at them.
They had just returned from attending a Christmas party at the women and children's center. Kay, who had driven them home, had just left. Blue was in Justin's room taking off his snowsuit, when she heard the knock. She heard JoAnna call out that Kay was back. She walked out in time to see JoAnna scrambling back from the open door that Rey was walking through. Rey holding a gun and telling JoAnna to take Jacelyn into the kitchen. Rey holding a gun and telling Blue to sit on the kitchen chair with Justin. Rey throwing the papers at her. Blue watching the divorce papers hit the floor, noting the order of protection on top.
She thought to herself, no protection now. On top of that thought was, I did this. She watched as he unloaded the gun and showed them all the bullets he was replacing were real. She wanted to do something, anything, to get her children out of there but couldn't figure out how.
Her daughters were frozen with fear. She knew, even if she were able to tell them to run, they wouldn't be able to. The thought that she did this kept repeating in her mind. She prayed, making deals with a God she wasn't sure was listening. She promised if they lived she would live lonely the rest of her life, happily. It was a stupid deal, she knew, but the only one she could think of. All the while Rey was softly, but deadly serious, saying, “no divorce. I love you.” when she finally focused on what he was saying, she wanted to scream back, “It's okay! You don't have to love me!”
Terror kept her quiet, though. Then the gun filling her mouth left no room for words. Rey told her to leave Justin on the floor and get up. With no options open, she did as she was told. He walked Blue to the bedroom, telling the children, “Go to bed!” Blue prayed, thanking God her children would not have to see her die and begging Him to save them.
In the bedroom, Rey told her to get on her knees. He kept the gun in her mouth, crouching down in front of her. Softly, he kept telling her that he loved her. He told her this was all her fault, He gave her all his love and she refused it, trying to get a divorce. The soft way he was speaking somehow sounding more menacing than if he were yelling at her.
Hours went by with no change. The sun was rising and Blue couldn't handle it anymore.
She cried, “Just pull the trigger! Just do it.”
Rey looked into her eyes for several minutes. Blue looked back through her tears, meaning, in that moment, every word she said. Rey sighed and removed the gun from her mouth. He caressed her cheek with the barrel and then turned and walked out.
Blue flew to the bedroom door, intent on finding her children. She didn't have far to go. The three of them sat next to the door.
JoAnna, dry-eyed but red-faced from crying, tracks streaking her face, said, “He's gone. We waited for the gun to go off.”
Blue collapsed on the floor, wrapping her arms and legs around her babies, kept repeating, “I'm so sorry.” After a moment she picked up the phone and called 911. Then she called Kay. She knew they had a long road ahead of them. | <urn:uuid:87513696-edb6-401c-a090-dbc461e34955> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.alaskanbookcafe.com/2017/07/hi-there-thank-you-for-stopping-by-my.html | 2019-07-21T11:17:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.994209 | 2,795 |
Sports have been around for thousands of years and so has the practice of sports medicine, a branch of medicine focusing on the prevention and treatment of injuries related to exercise and sports. Though many professional sports teams have had physicians on staff for years, sport and exercise medicine did not become a distinct segment of health care until the late twentieth century. However, it has been practiced in some manner since early civilization.
The Beginnings of Sports Medicine
The Atharva-Veda method practiced by the Hindus is the first recorded use of exercise for treatment of an athletic injury. The Chinese book of Kung Fu, created in approximately 1000 BC, also mentions physical fitness treatment. It was not until the fifth century BC that we saw mention of therapeutic exercise in the western world. The practice was associated with Herodicus, believed to be a teacher of Hippocrates, who is considered the Father of Medicine. Hippocrates himself also recommended exercise to treat disease.
The Practice Becomes a Fixture
Trainers, who also served as coaches, became fixtures by the fifth century BC. The first athletic training textbook was written in approximately 444 BC by Iccus of Tarentum, himself a former Pentathlon champion. The Romans continued this practice, releasing several training manuals over the next 700 years. Milo of Croton was arguably one of the most famous trainers of the time and the first recorded progressive resistance exercise, lifting a bull on the day it was born, is attributed to him.
Rivalries between trainers and doctors relegated physicians to a treatment role until the second century AD, when the role of team physician was first noted. Pontifex Maximus appointed Claudius Galen of Pergamum and Rome as physician for the gladiators in Pergamum. Claudius published his treatments and findings and went on to become physician for the famous emperor Marcus Aurelius. When the Roman Empire fell, additional learning was restricted in the western world. The Byzantine Empire and Islamic culture preserved the heritage for many years.
Dr. Edward Hitchcock brought sports medicine to America when he became the first physical education and hygiene instructor at Amherst College in 1854. He is considered the first sports medical physician and team physician in the United States. Other early practitioners included Drs. Edward Nichols, Mal Stevens, and Augustus Thorndike, who published the first general text of the practice in this country. Today, physicians utilize chiropractic and other advanced treatments for health care of physical activity. | <urn:uuid:cfe761ad-136b-4b8a-8c1b-6afb5f513800> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.aljassir.com/2019/06 | 2019-07-21T10:33:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.980712 | 498 |

Hector Couto has created his very own trademark production sound, the perfect amalgam between honest Chicago House and impetuous old-school techno: sublime tech-house at the whim of the listener.
Hector’s style slots seamlessly into a space between driving groove, effusive funk full of feeling and moments of pure emotion that flow not only from his creativity and extensive rhetorical sound, but also from his technique and the varied resources used in the production studio.
This has led him to be nominated for the Vicious Music Awards for Best Artist of the Year in 2013, and get 54th position on the Resident Advisor Top 100 all-time charted artists.
For Hector, this has also been an important year in the study, more than 20 productions, remixes and EPs on labels like Hot Creations, Get Physical, B Pitch Control, Noir Music, and OFF Recordings, to name a few.
As creative mind always in motion, this 2014 Hector has conceived a new label, ROUSH, dedicated to expose his most personal and passionate musical side.
ROUSH will feature artists like Hector Moralez, Julien Sandre, Raffa FL, Jamie Trench, among many others. | <urn:uuid:132adbf3-711c-4ac3-b5cc-a3b3da74dd62> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.barnclub.it/tag/roush/ | 2019-07-21T11:33:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.950692 | 250 |

I can't remember much about the day we left. When we got to the airport I felt a little put out when my father paused to put some 50 cent pieces into an insurance machine that promised to pay out if we crashed. He always was a bit of a gambler. I don't remember saying goodbye, just turning to wave when we went through the gate. It didn't feel like a big deal: Dad was going to follow us to New Zealand.
We would see him soon. | <urn:uuid:9f3ac485-f008-4c60-9107-73f89d6ef279> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.featured.org.nz/stories/my-search-for-my-lost-father-kiwi-journalist-diana-wichtels-story | 2019-07-21T11:09:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.991645 | 100 |

21st November, 2013 has been a milestone in the history of climate negotiations in past 19 years. For the first time in record of Conference of Parties on climate change, large number of representatives from civil society organizations all over the world walked out of climate negotiations and have voluntarily withdrawn out of COP 19, Warsaw. A massive walk out of around 800 delegates from various non government organizations showed frustration of these delegates towards weak and inadequate productive actions in climate talks in Warsaw. The message was clear-polluter’s talk, we walk.
This initiative was taken by different organizations such as WWF International, ActionAid International, Friends of the Earth (Europe), Oxfam International, Green Peace, Climate Action Network for Climate Change (CANSA), Development Alternatives and several others. There was a clear frustration and disappointment in the civil society organizations against developed nations who are blocking climate change negotiations here in Warsaw.
Dissatisfaction has gradually built in the minds of several NGO delegates over past ten days, and was clearly evident today when dozens of organizations walked out showing their disagreement with the way these negotiations are moving. There has been little progress in these negotiations and these climate talks have delivered almost nothing when compared to the enormous challenge of climate change. Weak emissions reductions ambitions, backtracking emission cut emissions previously made by countries, inadequate finance for combating climate change, opposition on setting up a mechanism on loss and damage and putting the interests of dirty energy industries by organization of Coal and Climate Summit in conjunction are some of the issues which have now forced civil society organizations to walk out of negotiations and send across a strong message-enough is enough.
Negotiators from developed countries with lacking political will are sitting here and talking for the past ten days and still have nothing to offer. Developed countries have already failed to meet their mitigation targets and their new emission reduction ambitions are also inadequate. On issues such as emission reduction targets position of the countries such as Japan and Canada have infact moved backwards. EU has also refused to raise emission reduction ambitions. US, Canada and Australia have maintained a strong position for blocking any discussion of a new “loss and damage” mechanism that would provide financial support and compensation to countries facing severe climate impacts. And when compared to the monetary support required to combat climate change, there is insufficient climate finance on the table.
Negotiations on all these issues have failed to meet the expectations of civil society organizations from all over the world that are fighting for Climate Justice. Standing in solidarity with thousands of people who have been affected by the Super Typhoon in Philippines, civil society organizations will make better use of their time and will push the governments to take serious action on climate change. Its time, we pressurize the governments for concrete measures that keep the interests of climate change vulnerable communities in mind.
It’s time that industrialized countries and emitters do not get away so easily with climate negotiations which can risk the fate of our future generations. | <urn:uuid:5ac09828-3443-41cd-840d-2de0c8e318f6> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.perspectives.devalt.org/?p=282 | 2019-07-21T11:57:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.960983 | 593 |
A home remodeling project is a major decision and that’s the whole truth. It is a major concern because it can take a good portion of your savings, so to speak. Some homeowners even take out a loan on the home remodeling project just to get down to it. Having said that, it is important that you do home remodeling right the first time.
Unless you want to spend money on unnecessary stuff or redo a completed project, you have to involve a professional with your remodeling project right off the bat. The design and planning process are is crucial as the building and construction phases. Every detail about the project should be well accounted for.
Avoiding Common Mistakes
If you’re not a home improvement savvy kind of person, it’s easy to assume that renovating your home is a fairly easy feat. As a newbie with all of these, you are likely to make mistakes such as adding too strong decorations and details in your home. It’s true that those elements can you’re your home really trendy, but have you considered what people will say about it a few years from now?
If you’re too focused on adapting to the latest trends, you might end up renovating your home again after three to five years. That’s not good. It is best that you incorporate some classic touches to your home so that it will still look appealing even after many years.
Going green is not just a trend, it’s a lifestyle. When renovating your home, try to make it eco-friendlier than it was before. It is true that building a greener home is way more expensive, but the investment is well worth it.
For example, it is not cheap to choose double pane windows for better insulation or install solar panels but in the long run, these improvements will lower down your utility bills and give you tax credits or federal incentive. But more than that, you’re doing your share in preserving the environment.
Invest in the Best Options
The reason why you’re renovating your home is that you want to make it better. Therefore, be sure that you always choose the better option than the one you’re using. Choose the right doors and windows so that your home doesn’t only look good, but it is also well-protected.
Always choose along the lines of function versus aesthetics and create a balance. Don’t just consider the price when choosing a product. There are a lot of other factors to think about so always take time in making the right choice.
Upgrade Your Systems
Your new home is only as good as the systems that run it. So, when talking with Austin home remodelers, try to ask them about how the new improvements are going to affect your electrical, plumbing, and heating systems. Upgrade them as necessary so you don’t have to worry about compliance with the local regulations regarding home improvements. When in doubt, always talk to the experts. | <urn:uuid:243be846-6bc9-4f7c-bc13-738e85729fd1> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.plugpctotv.com/ | 2019-07-21T10:49:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.957224 | 619 |
After receiving the recent accolade of “Festival capital of Europe” – Meghalaya gets its first participatory festival of BAD ROADS.
A complete violation of democratic ethics and free speech entrenched
The NEHUSU election this time around has been a very hotly debated issue. Previous years it was a low key affair with hardly any canvassing done and no one bothering to know the identity of the winners. But with so many students’ agitations in the recent past and the anti-student attitude of the administration this year’s election was a highly anticipated affair. In the heart of all this is Napoleon S. Mawphniang who contested from the group Mission 16-17 for the post of NEHUSU President. He won the election along with all the members of his group and will take charge of the student body for 2016-17 session. His is a remarkable victory because of the continuous harassment that he received from the administration for constantly questioning them. Even before the present election he was taking an active part in leading the students on various agitations in the campus. This interview was taken three days after his group had won the election.

Unlike people with power, who think legislations are too important to be shared with common people, TUR believes in sharing and learning from people’s wisdom.

Ecobank Transnational Incorporated the mother company of the Ecobank Group has announced a raft of decisions to guide the company during the shareholders 30th annual general meeting in Lomé, Togo.

Ecobank Group Chairman Emmanuel Ikazoboh said: “Ecobank enjoyed a return to profitability in 2017 as the strengthening of underwriting and risk management processes began to address our legacy credit issues. There were substantial improvements in the financial performance of our Consumer Bank and Corporate and Investment Bank divisions and the Board is confident that the foundations are now in place to enable the sustainable growth that will create shareholder value throughout Ecobank.”
Ade Ayeyemi, Group Chief Executive of Ecobank Group, said: “Our digitisation strategy is rapidly yielding results that are putting Ecobank firmly on its path to becoming the digital bank of choice across its pan-African territories.

On Tuesday, December 19th, Alyssa Starter Art Kits were delivered to Northwestern University Hospital in Chicago. A total of 25 Alyssa SAKs were dropped off with Stacy Stanford who is the Clinical Psychologist at Northwestern University Hospital. While on the Northwestern Comprehensive Cancer Center floor, Yoli ran into her niece’s friend, Siria and her son who were in the waiting room. Yoli gave Siria's son one of the color-me lunch SAKs and Siria one of the journal kits. Both of them were happy to see Yoli and talked about the wonderful work the Alyssa Alvin Foundation for Hope (AAFH) is doing for young patients.
On Wednesday, December 27th, Alyssa SAKs were delivered to Sunrise Children’s Hospital in Las Vegas, NV. Erin Larson-Child Life Specialist in the Emergency Room accepted the art kits.
The AAFH was created to give hope and provide outlets for creative expression through art and music for young patients dealing with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
As you can see, Alyssa’s inspiration continues to bring other young patients the opportunity to experience with different art mediums like watercolors, acrylics, drawing, coloring and journaling. | <urn:uuid:08d9cd32-73c0-4c64-8f1b-abab283dc3ec> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://alyssaalvinfoundationforhope.org/blog/2017/12/25/alyssa-starter-art-kits-donated-to-northwestern-university-sunrise-childrens-hospital | 2019-07-21T10:42:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.962972 | 260 |

HelloFresh’s recent (down) round makes it clear that for HellFresh’s main investor Rocket Internet time is running out. Rocket Internet needs another hit. And yet, HelloFresh, a ‘proven winner’ in Rocket’s portfolio, is losing steam. Also, one more round and Rocket may lose the majority stake in HelloFresh if they don’t keep investing accordingly.
Rocket Internet’s stake will decline to 53 percent from 56 percent, the company said. HelloFresh was valued at 2.6 billion euros when it received a 75 million euro investment in September 2015. […]
Berlin-based recipe-kit company HelloFresh raised 85 million euros ($88.5 million) in new funding, valuing the company at 2 billion euros — about 20 percent less than 15 months ago. […]
The food-delivery startup business has shown signs of faltering, with SpoonRocket shutting down in March and others struggling to raise new funds.
After plans to go public in 2015 were canceled at the last minute, it doesn’t seem like HelloFresh has managed to turn the business around enough to make it enticing enough to investors. On the other hand, the one new investor not published could be an investment bank like Goldman Sachs, all this being a preparation for the IPO.
HelloFresh also changed the legal structure from a (German) AG to an (European) SE, ‘societas Europaea’, a public company registered in accordance with the corporate law of the European Union. (via, German) This is another sign of HelloFresh preparing its IPO.
It is an open secret by now that Blue Apron, no. 1 in the US market, will be going public in the near future. So, it looks very likely that no. 2 (HelloFresh) and no. 1 (Blue Apron) in the young meal-kit market in the US will both go public around the same time.
This certainly makes it quite the chess game for both companies to figure out the right moment to IPO.
HelloFresh raised $149 million back in February 2015, primarily from Rocket. In September 2015, it raised another $85 million in a round led by Baillie Gifford, a Scottish investment firm. The latest round would bring its total VC backing to almost $360 million. […]
The company has reported revenues of $455.25 million for the first nine months of 2016, up from $205.66 million for the same period one year ago. However, losses continued to climb to $80.19 million in 2016 compared to $66.06 million for the first nine months of 2016.

We will contribute to the realization of sustainable society by brushing up and enhancing 3 powers of "technological power, realization power and human power"
In the international society, due to the adoption of the "Paris Agreement" which is a framework of the countermeasures against global warming and the "SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals)" advocated by the United Nations, enterprises are required to contribute to the sustainable economic growth and the solution of social problems through innovation to cope with the global environmental issues and widening inequality that the world faces.
In addition, the business environment surrounding us is changing drastically and, with the technological innovation such as IoT, big data analysis, AI, robot, etc. as background, the competitive environment of enterprises has changed dramatically and the business restructuring is taking place beyond the conventional framework of industry. Looking at this change, the value for our customers is shifting from "things" which is the conventional competitive axis to "experience" which is the invisible value such as experience or personal experience and from "ownership" to "use", and it is important to think about how to provide value of our company by making full use of the ideas and communication methods.
In the market of air conditioning equipment which is the main products of Fujitsu General, the strengthening of environmental regulations and the heightening of power saving consciousness are progressing and spreading not only in the developed countries but also across the world.
As a manufacturer, we continue to evolve technologies such as air flow control and automatic operation that further improve energy efficiency and realize both operation efficiency and comfort and we are constantly developing together with progress and innovation of technology. In the future as well, we will continue to challenge the “INNOVATION” which is the creation of new value through innovative technologies ahead of the era with a view to the future in ten or twenty years.
Also, we have expanded our air conditioner business into overseas markets since 1971 ahead of other companies and at present, are selling products to about 110 countries around the world, and the overseas sales account for 75% of the total sales of the company. We believe that we can contribute to the sustainable development of society by offering high value-added products pursuing high energy saving and resource saving performance to customers around the world.
Fujitsu General Group established the "Mid-term Environmental Action Plan" in 2016 as a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emission by 2030 and at the same time, is promoting the "Environmental Action Plan Stage VIII (FY2016 – 2018)" as a 3-year activity for achieving the "Mid-term Environmental Plan". We will aim to further reduce the environmental burden and enhance the corporate value by steadily promoting the activities toward the achievement of goals.
With "INNOVATION & GLOBALIZATION ― Providing a Brand New Tomorrow to Everyone on Earth ―" as a management slogan, Fujitsu General Group will contribute to the realization of sustainable society by brushing up and enhancing 3 powers of "technological power, realization power and human power" and create "new value".

Silkworms have long been associated with mankind. It is a common fact that the much coveted silk is made from the cocoons of silkworms, which are the larvae of the moth named Bombyx mori. In Latin, Bombyx mori means silkworm of the mulberry tree. The origin of silk has been traced back to ancient China. It is believed that the source of this fabric was kept a secret by the Chinese people for around 2000 years.
Now, it is no longer a secret and silk is produced in various parts of the world. While most of us are aware of the fact that silk is produced from silkworms, very few know that these larvae have also been used for its so-called health benefits. In fact, silkworms have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for a very long time. Today, silkworm extract is found as an ingredient in various health supplements.
Use of Silkworm as Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicinal preparations consist of various ingredients, mainly plants and herbs. However, you may also come across some strange ingredients like certain fungi, powdered centipede, cow's gallstones, tiger penis or rhinoceros horn. You may get surprised to know that silkworms are also included in this long list of materials that are said to have medicinal properties. Dried silkworm larvae (died of white muscardine disease) are used for treating spasms, flatulence and various other conditions.
It is said that silkworms that feed on mulberry leaves are found to be have more health effects than the others. While, the extracts from silkworm cocoons are used for medicinal purposes, even the enzymes released by the bacteria that are found in the gut of these larvae are said to be beneficial for treating various health problems. Extracts made from male silk moths is also said to be effective as an aphrodisiac.
What is Silkworm Extract
Silkworms are used in medicine in the dried form or as extracts. Such extract has been used in China for a very long time and is said to be prepared through fermentation of silkworm larvae. The moths that emerge from cocoons, are also used for preparing silkworm moth extract. Male silk moths are separated from the females, as soon as they emerge from the cocoons.
This is done to prevent copulation, which is said to lower the effectiveness of these moths as an aphrodisiac. These male moths are dried, before preserving in alcohol. Later, the extract is prepared from them. These extracts are used as such or in combination with other such supplements like ginseng and cordyceps.
Benefits of Silkworm Extract
This extract is said to contain unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, proteins, amino acids, cephalin and various other beneficial compounds. It is said to contain male hormones too. All these components make this extract useful in nourishing the endocrine as well as the reproductive system of males. This preparation is said to be effective in boosting sexual desire, especially in males.
Silkworm extract is also said to work wonders in treating conditions like migraine, carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. As it is believed to help in retention of moisture by the skin, this extract is also used for curing skin lesions. It is also claimed to be beneficial in treating prostate hyperplasia. Even erectile dysfunction is said to be cured with this product.
The enzyme found in the intestine of silkworms is also said to have numerous health benefits. It is said that this enzyme, named serrapeptase, is good for enhancing blood circulation and in treating arterial plaque. The enzyme is said to act on non living tissues and so, is believed to be beneficial for breaking down arterial plaque, scar tissues, blood clots and cysts. Serrapeptase is claimed to be beneficial for treating inflammatory conditions too.
In short, extract made from silkworms is claimed to be effective for treating various health problems. However, it is widely known for its aphrodisiac properties. But, so far, there is no conclusive evidence to prove silkworm extract benefits or safety. Most of these products are not reviewed or approved by the FDA. So, it will be always beneficial to seek the opinion of your doctor, before using this product. Another point to note is to use this extract, as per the instructions of a qualified Chinese medical practitioner. | <urn:uuid:f9038c2c-5c94-42de-9111-85e0de48c249> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://holisticzine.com/silkworm-extract-benefits | 2019-07-21T11:45:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.975157 | 911 |

Ever notice that before your diagnosis of a chronic or other life-altering illness you were a much better patient? It’s possible that’s because you only saw the doctor when you were sick, in need, and you knew it was probably a one-shot deal. You could exchange pleasantries during the annual physical, but there was no dependency or tension.
What came next took you and probably your doctor by surprise. The idea that your body was hiding something that is harmful is always a shock, especially to primary care physicians. They are the first stop on the run-away train. Primary care physicians are the ones who sit by your side trying to figure out what’s the problem and then when something catches their eye you hear the words, “I’d like to refer you to a specialist”.
Once the doctor, whether it be your primary care physician or the specialist, utters the famous line, “I’m sorry to tell you…” then the doct0r-patient relationship changes. At the start the doctor-patient relationship may be adversarial, after all who doesn’t want to shoot the messenger. The hope is that over time it become collegial. Let’s face it, working as a team will be more productive on your journey to health and healing.
But let’s go back for a moment because being a “good” patient before you got sick was more about hedging the odds, kind of like the insurance industry betting you will get sick and you betting you won’t. It’s easy to be a “better” patient when your visits are infrequent, there probably aren’t many if any billing issues, and the biggest discussion is about exercising more, maybe losing a couple of pounds, and getting rest.
All of that changes with a diagnosis of a chronic or other life-altering illness. Our healthcare system has forced too many to have to deal with outrageous medical bills. (Medical bills are the number one reason people declare bankruptcy) Billing often causes tension between the office staff and the patient.
Then of course are the issues related to treatment. As your doctor gets the test results and makes recommendations, the doctor-patient dynamic is changed. It’s no long simply taking the recommendations and making an appointment for the following year. The test results and the recommendations now bring you and the doctor into deeper discussions, not only about treatment and the course of the disease, but heart wrenching topics like end-of-life care.
It’s easy to see why you, the patient, may become gun-shy, maybe a bit angry or hostile, and on the other hand you may retreat and be sad. Understanding that your relationship with your doctors is no longer simply routine, but an ongoing and more intense relationship must be reconciled in your soul. The two of you are together for the duration.
I hope you’ll take a look at the relationship you have with your medical provider because now is the time to take action if you feel things need to change. It’s no longer simply about cutting red meat out of your diet, and the ante has been raised. This is one of those moments when we have to remember, “Life isn’t the way it’s supposed to be; it’s the way it is”. | <urn:uuid:1cd8995e-aaeb-4c5e-9a3d-cbd9e4bd43b4> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://pilgrimpathway.com/2010/10/04/i-was-a-better-patient-before-i-got-sick/ | 2019-07-21T11:40:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.964559 | 707 |
Tom Kemp draws together ideas raised at recent Reclaim Justice Network events
In October the Reclaim Justice Network organised meetings in London and Manchester with the aim of discussing ways to reduce our reliance on the criminal justice system and what has been called the ‘prison industrial complex’ as methods of solving social problems. I thought it might be helpful to try to summarise some of the ideas that emerged. It’s not intended to provide the settled view of the network, but can hopefully provide a useful basis for future discussion about campaigns and activities.
One key proposal that emerged were campaigns for law reforms to bring about large scale diversion of people away from prisons and other punitive programs. The staged decriminalization of drugs and decriminalization of anti-social behaviour was suggested. Wider decriminalization of what might be called ‘victimless’ crime such as not having a TV licence or sex-work were put forward, as well as large scale diversion of children and migrants from the criminal justice system and other punitive regimes. There were also discussions of reforms to the law relating to sentence length, and in particular ending mandatory sentencing and reforming certain minimum and/or maximum sentences.
Another major theme has been about the role of broader social policy as harm prevention and response. Discussion of prevention can include macro socio-economic policies such as the maintenance of a proper welfare system, a comprehensive social housing regime and reform of the social care system.
More targeted social policy interventions could include the restriction of police presence in schools and ending school exclusions. The implementation of anti-violence and sexual education programmes in schools could offer opportunities for harm reduction. Discussions have also highlighted the need for comprehensive responses to social harm. Ideas included increased community support to victims of crime, forms of social insurance for victims of crime, a comprehensive network of refuges and alternative methods of harm resolution to the police, who often are not appropriate gatekeepers of support for victims.
An engagement in policy includes a willingness to engage with and criticize current institutional structures and actors. In the meetings, some members argued for the abolition and/or reform of certain national agencies that are tasked with constituting or reviewing the criminal justice system. This involves both a national and a local focus. However, as raised by those at the meetings, there will be tensions and contradictions for those working in the system and how to resist supporting and legitimising criminal justice operations.
In order to act on the issues so far, it is important to also offer an engagement with the structural drivers. Concerns have been voiced about the profit motive driving penal expansion. As a consequence, there have been suggestions of a moratorium on prison building and a ban on private profit made from the prison system. There are also broader motives; the media profit from sensationalist stories and our politicians also profit from the climate of fear and their financial links with the companies which benefit from the narratives our prison system generates. There is also the need to see the expansion of prisons as part of the more complex structures of gender, race, culture, mental health and disability which define modern life.
It appears to me that some general principles emerge from these discussions and could guide our objectives for transformative reform. The first is that all interventions need to be no-harm interventions: a response to ‘criminal behaviour’ which reinforces or adds to the factors which generate need for ‘criminal behaviour’ should never be carried out. A second theme is that we need to engage in a demystification of the ‘criminal’ – replacing this with a view of a human with needs and behaviours that can only be understood within a social context. A third is the wish to promote broadly restorative solutions which try to rectify the harm to victims whilst strengthening community bonds.
I feel that the categories of law reform, policy, institutional reform, principles and structure have been latent in the ideas at our past meetings, and may structure our thoughts in our activities to come.

The emergence of process writing and the advent of whole language during the 1980's challenged the 50 year practice of focusing on reading before teaching writing to young children. Today, writing as well as reading is clearly of great interest from the earliest stages of literacy development.

In this otherwise really good piece by Ed Keenan – Six things we learned from John Tory’s transit announcement: Keenan | Toronto Star – he made this comment
At a new price of $141.50, a Metropass costs almost as much as 51 tokens or 47 cash fares. For most weekday commuters, that math doesn’t add up.
At first thought, this seemed right to me. If you only use the Metropass to go to and from one location each business day, it isn’t worth it. For example, assuming most months have 22 working days, then that is 44 tokens, which is less than the 51 tokens it is worth.
Where the Metropass math adds up is when you start to be a heavier use of the TTC.
If you travel on the TTC daily, then you can get in as many as 62 trips/tokens on the TTC and a Metropass will be a good buy for you. Even in February, that is 56 trips/tokens. Daily users easily benefit from it. But if you don’t travel every day on Toronto transit, there are other ways to make the Metropass worthwhile.
For people who use it to go to work and then do after work activities, the Metropass is a good idea. For example, if you take trips to and from work, as well as using it to go to meet friends or to take after work classes or to go to the gym, then you can benefit from having and using a Metropass. For example, 44 tokens for work plus 3 trips a week to classes plus one to friends adds up to 16 more tokens a month for a total of 60 tokens.
For people who have to stop to pick up their kids from childcare, the Metropass is good value. I used to pick up my son daily after work. That was 3 tokens every day, so most months that was 66 tokens.
For people who can share it, the Metropass is great value. For example, if a couple works different shifts, then together they potentially need 88 tokens each month to get them back and forth to work. Sharing a Metropass could save alot for such a couple.
Even people who don’t use the TTC all that much can still make the Metropass work for them if they can reduce the cost of it. For example, people who can buy the Metropass on subscription can get it for a lesser amount. That means you need to take less trips to break even. And if you pay enough taxes to break be able to claim your Metropasses as a tax expense, then you also need to take less trips to break even with the purchase.
If you take your total transportations costs, including taxis, Zipcars, etc, then you might find that having a Metropass is worth it. For example, you might find you grab a cab a few times each month because you don’t have tokens or cash. Switching to a Metropass, you find you do that less and therefore your overall spending on transportation each month is going down.
Cost aside, the other great benefit of the Metropass is convenience. All the hassle of dealing with buying tokens is gone. That convenience means you may be more likely to use the TTC when you have a Metropass, which leads you to make your money back from getting it. Also, you may find you enjoy yourself more by getting out more. It’s an intangible benefit, but a good one nonetheless.
I think for heavier users of the TTC, the Metropass is definitely worth it. And to be fair to Ed, he acknowledged a number of these points in a discussion he had on twitter. Whether or not the Metropass is worth it to you will depend on your own use of the TTC and your own math.
P.S. Thanks for reading this. If you have found it useful and you’d like to say thanks by buying me a coffee, you can do so here. Thanks!

What is Anger?
When we receive criticism or insult, it is normal that we experience negative emotions, such as anger.
Anger is an intense emotional response to a perceived threat, provocation, or hurt. The experience of anger is usually accompanied by strong physiological reactions, such as an increase in heart rate, sweating, and tenseness in the body.
When experienced and expressed appropriately, anger can be a good thing. Anger has always been a powerful tool for human survival, as it allows us to react instinctively when we are in danger. The appropriate expression of anger is a healthy form of coping, and motivates us to act on things or situations that we are unhappy with.
However, because anger is such a powerful emotion, it becomes a problem when we experience it too frequently, or find it difficult to control.
Types of Anger Management Problems
Individuals who experience anger easily have a problem with chronic anger.
They get angry easily, overreact frequently to situations, and find it hard to control getting angry. For example, an individual with chronic anger could be one who takes offence easily at the things that others say or do. This leads to the other people around him or her having to be very careful with their words, and always needing to ‘watch their step’.
Passive anger is unexpressed anger that is misdirected as other feelings or behaviors. An individual may not even be aware that he or she is feeling angry. Instead, the anger gets misdirected as sarcasm, spite, or apathy towards the person or situation that they are angry about.
For example, a wife may be feeling angry that her husband gets to maintain his social life after the birth of their child. She may become increasingly spiteful towards her husband, or act in ways that sabotages the relationship.
Individuals who experience aggressive anger express anger in unhealthy or destructive ways. Some unhealthy or destructive ways of expressing anger include using aggression, abusive language, passive-aggressive behavior, and retaliatory actions. Sometimes, individuals who exhibit aggressive anger may also experience ‘rage’, which is a full-on, uncontrollable expression of anger.
Individuals with aggressive anger may not experience anger easily, but when they do, it is usually an unpleasant experience for the people around them.
Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED)
Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) is the most severe type of the anger management problem among all.
An individual is diagnosed with IED when he or she experiences discrete episodes of aggressive behavior that are grossly out of proportion to any threat, provocation, or hurt. These are similar to the rage episodes that occur in aggressive anger. For an individual with IED, these episodes occur frequently, with at least two episodes a week for a period of a minimum of three months.
IED is a serious problem as it may result in harm to others or the destruction of property.
Impact And Consequences of Anger Management Problems
Anger management problems can have negative consequences on both the individual and the others around.
Chronic anger may lead to health problems such as frequent headaches, fatigue, or heart disease. It can also lead to other mental disorders such as depression and anxiety.
When unaddressed, anger management problems can also have a devastating impact on relationships at home and at work. Thus, it is important for us to learn how to control our anger effectively.
Anger Management Treatment and Therapy
When you seek professional help for anger management, your treatment is likely to consist of the following techniques and strategies. These strategies are likely to work hand in hand in forming a comprehensive treatment plan to help you experience and express your anger in healthier ways.
01 | Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a structured therapy approach based on the idea that how we think, how we feel, and how we act all interact together. The process of cognitive-behavioral therapy helps individuals identify their ‘anger triggers’, which are specific situations in which they frequently experience anger.
The therapist and client will then work together to explore and change the thoughts and emotions that are associated with these situations. Through the process, cognitive-behavioral therapy helps the client to identify inaccurate, negative thought patterns that drive their feelings of anger.
02 | Relaxation Techniques
Simple relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and visual imagery can help individuals to calm themselves down when they are feeling angry. The practice and implementation of relaxation techniques complement cognitive-behavioral therapy in the treatment of anger management issues.
03 | Stress Inoculation Training
Stress Inoculation Training is a form of psychotherapy method that helps individuals prepare themselves in advance to handle stressful events successfully. This structured form of therapy helps individuals cope better with the challenging events that they may face in their everyday lives.
04 | Increasing Communication Skills
Having better communication skills allows individuals to express themselves better, which minimizes the potential for conflicts. When conflicts arise, individuals learn how to respond assertively instead of aggressively, which is a more effective approach of getting things across.

By Terrence Aym
“The biggest revelation is an authenticated secret German document which lists Hitler as one of the passengers evacuated by plane from Austria to Barcelona on April 26, 1945.”
Although official history contends Hitler committed suicide with his newlywed wife, Eva Braun, on April, 30 1945 and their corpses were burned by others in the Berlin bunker, Abel Basti claims proof the story is a fabrication.
According to Basti’s meticulous research, the leader of the Third Reich spent his last years as an art dealer and had facial plastic surgery to change his appearance.
Those are just two of the astounding revelations that respected Argentine journalist and historian Abel Basti documents in his book, Hitler’s Exile.
While the book was a runaway bestseller across South America, it’s been suppressed in the United States and the Russian Federation. Those two countries still maintain that Germany’s Führer committed suicide during the last days of World War Two.
World newspapers report Hitler dead…were they wrong?
The claim that Hitler and some high-ranking Schutzstaffel (SS) officers escaped Germany and fled to South America is not new.
Nil Nikandrov observes (Strategic Culture Foundation, “All the Leaders of the Third Reich Fled to Latin America“): “In his well-documented, The Hitler Survival Myth (1981), Donald McKale identifies the earliest source of the myth of Hitler’s escape to the southern hemisphere as the unexpected surrender of a German submarine in early July 1945 at Mar del Plata, Argentina.
“Several Buenos Aires newspapers, in defiance of Argentine Navy statements, said that rubber boats had been seen landing from it, and other submarines spotted in the area.
“On July 16, 1945, the Chicago Times carried a sensational article on the Hitlers having slipped off to Argentina.”
July 16, 1945: Chicago Times reports Hitler fled to South America
The Hitler-in-Argentina tale first surfaced in a book back in 1947
“Ladislao Zsabó, a Hungarian advertiser, witnessed the arrival of the U-530 and saw its crew disembarking. He had heard that the destination was the German Antarctica and, mistakenly, made a supposition that Hitler had escaped to Antarctica, and published the book Hitler está Vivo (Hitler is Alive), where he speaks about the possible location of Hitler, in Queen’s Maud properties, opposite the Weddel Sea, that was then renamed Neuschwabenland, when the area was explored in 1938/39 by the German expedition [led] by Captain Ritschter.

“Zsabó made the wrong assumption.
“Had he read the book by Professor Hugo Fernandez Artucio published in 1940, Nazis en el Uruguay, (Nazis in Uruguay) he would had discovered that there actually was a plan referring to German Antarctica, but this was nothing but the term they used for the Patagonia and that this information had been made public in New York in 1939.” [Nil Nikandrov]

When there’s so much smoke there’s usually a fire. Basti tracked down that fire during seven years of sometimes grueling investigations.
He personally visited German compounds surrounded by security and stern-faced guards, interviewed surviving witnesses in villages near the strongholds, and even obtained authenticated photographs of Hitler and Braun during their exile years.

“Basti wrote that A. Hitler, E. Braun, and Führer’s closest aides flew from the burning Berlin to Spain…and then crossed the Atlantic Ocean by three submarines and reached Argentina.
“In July-August, 1945 Hitler and his clique landed in the Rio Negro province near the Caleta de los Loros village and moved on further into Argentine.
“Allegedly, the same secret route prepared by SS chief Himmler’s staff was later used by Bormann, Mengele, and Eichmann.
“Basti detailed the journey of A. Hitler and E. Braun across Argentina assisted by local Nazi sympathizers and described the couple’s family life during which—despite the hardships of hiding—they even had children.”

The Soviets weren’t helpful on the matter of the German leader’s death.
“The Soviets continued to be difficult. They refused to allow Westerners into Berlin even after the surrender of Dönitz’s government and the last armies in the field on May 7-9. On May 10, they announced the existence of the burned bodies in the Chancellory courtyard, but only allowed that one might be Hitler. The same report went on to say that his body might never be found.
“On June 6, a spokesman for the Soviet army in Berlin announced unequivocally that Hitler had committed suicide and that his body had been identified. Three days later, Marshall Zhukov, the head of the Soviet army gave a press conference with Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinski looking over his shoulder. ‘We did not identify the body of Hitler,’ he said. ‘I can say nothing definite about his fate. He could have flown away from Berlin at the very last moment.'” [Nil Nikandrov ]
Interview with Basti
In an interview on Deadline – Live, an Argentine news program, journalist Santiago Romero interviewed Abel Basti about Hitler’s escape, life in Patagonia, and the events that followed World War Two. [“Hitler huyó a la Patagonia en un submarino que zarpó desde Vigo” Edited.]
Romero: What is your opinion on Hitler’s escape?
Basti: “Hitler escaped via air from Austria to Barcelona. The last stage of his escape was in a submarine, from Vigo, heading straight to the coast of Patagonia. Finally, Hitler and Eva Braun, in a car with a chauffeur and bodyguard—a motorcade of at least three cars—drove to Bariloche (Argentina).
“He took refuge in a place called San Ramon, about 15 miles east of that town. It is a property of about 250,000 acres with a lake-front view of Lake Nahuel Huapi, which had been German property since the early twentieth century, when it belonged to a German firm by the name of Schamburg-Lippe.”
Romero: “On what basis do you claim that Hitler was in Spain after leaving his Berlin bunker?”
Basti: “I was able to confirm the presence of Hitler in Spain thanks to a—now elderly—Jesuit priest, whose family members were friends of the Nazi leader. And I have witnesses that allude to meetings he had with his entourage at the place where they stayed in Cantabria.
“In addition, a document of the British secret services reveals that in those days, a Nazi submarine convoy left Spain, and after stopping in the Canary Islands, it continued its journey to the south of Argentina.
“Hitler and Eva Braun traveled onboard one of these submarines, which later arrived in Patagonia between July and August of 1945, under the de facto President Edelmiro Farrell and later Juan Domingo Peron, then his Minister of War. There is also another important document mentioning that the FBI was looking for Hitler in Spain after World War II.”
Romero: “From where did he leave to Patagonia?”
Basti: “All the evidence points to the Galician coast, which was a significant base of supplies for Nazi submarines during the Battle of the Atlantic, to the extent that Churchill considered the possibility of invading it—an action that was scrapped when they built the code-breaking “Enigma” machine and managed to decipher Nazi submarine fleet messages and the course of submarine warfare was reversed.
“There is the possibility that he left from Vigo or Ferrol, but it is almost certain that he did from Vigo, according to Britain’s MI6.”
Romero: “What was Hitler’s life in Argentina like?”
Basti: “Hitler lived as a fugitive with his wife and his bodyguard. His first years were in Patagonia, and then he lived in the more northern provinces [of Argentina].
“In the early years, he held meetings in different parts of Argentina, and with other Nazis in Paraguay, as well as with sympathizers from foreign countries.
“He shaved his head and mustache, so he was not easily recognizable. He lived away from large urban areas, although he had a few meetings in Buenos Aires. He died in the sixties in Argentina.
“I’m currently investigating where he was buried and how he lived his last days.”
Romero: “Did you have access to documents from the former Soviet Union?”
Basti: “Until his death in 1953, Stalin always believed that Hitler had escaped. In 1945, Stalin told the Allies this same information. There are three different shorthand writings in which Stalin mentioned that the German leader had fled.
“In Argentina, I have interviewed people who had seen and met with Hitler. In the Russian archives, there is abundant documentation that shows that Hitler had escaped.”
Romero: “How did your book impact the official story of Hitler’s death?”
Basti: “Despite the recent investigations that proved that Hitler’s remains at the Kremlin in Russia did not belong to him, most Russians have always rejected the theory that he escaped. The same applies to the nations involved in the war.
“The U.S. has just reclassified [under national security auspices] for 20 [more] years all official material related to this story, and when that deadline is met, it will probably be reclassified.
“The British reclassified all related documentation for 60 more years. The researchers cannot access that information.”

If you’re from the New York/Long Island area and are over 40 years old, do you remember this?
Back in the late 70’s, if you didn’t find any of us kids playing softball, football or basketball on Kings Drive in Riverhead, NY, it was likely due to The 4:30 Movie on WABC-TV in New York. We’d be playing outside but invariably a couple of us would race home in time, switch on the TV (or push your sister away from it) and await that awesome theme song.
Airing on channel 7, The 4:30 Movie every weekday schooled hundreds of thousands of kids in the 70’s on the glory of the cinema. Particularly when they did theme weeks. There was Lassie Week, Planet of the Apes Week, Secret Agent Week, Horror Week; dozens of actors got their own weeks devoted to their movies – Steve McQueen and Dean Martin immediately come to mind. The best of all the theme weeks was MONSTER WEEK. I remember Monster Week always airing various Godzilla and King Kong movies which were my favorites.
All the movies were heavily edited, primarily to make the 6:00 newscast; and they would often split the movies over two days. I drove my grandmother and my mom crazy because dinner wouldn’t start until 6:00 if there was a great movie on channel 7.
It’s funny to think today that a network affiliate would schedule movies for 90 minutes every weekday. There was no early new casts then, nobody jumping up and down screaming about who impregnated Maury’s baby, just really cool movies every day. The 4:30 Movie aired until 1981 when it was replaced by The People’s Court. | <urn:uuid:ef129c61-8e6e-4fbe-b516-df3fcc54094b> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://weaponofselfdistraction.com/2016/05/03/the-430-movie-on-wabcnyc/ | 2019-07-21T11:46:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.97243 | 368 |
BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. --
Albert Gill was only three days past his ninth birthday when he got the dreaded news. His father had passed away. Suddenly, he and his mother found themselves alone and facing the beginning of the Great Depression. The events forced them to move hours from his childhood home in Charleston, S.C. to live with his grandmother in Columbia.
But the tragedy of losing his father and the jolt of relocating from the only home he’d ever known were watershed moments, starting a chain of events that would lead to Gill leaving an enduring legacy with the 307th Bomb Wing.
From tragedy to wonder
Albert Gill’s new home in Columbia was only two miles from Owens Field, the only airport in the city at the time. The aircraft coming and going captured his imagination and soon the young boy found himself completely enamored with them.
“I would go over there all the time, just watching everything that was happening. The whole thing fascinated me,” said Gill.
His love of aircraft only grew deeper. By 1938, with the clouds of war gathering across Europe, the U.S. Army brought a squadron of P-39 Airacobras to Owens Field, deepening his fascination with flight.
Pursuing the dream
After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Gill saw an opportunity to pursue his dream of flying by joining the Army Air Corps. However, there was a major obstacle in the way: Mrs. Gill.
“I wasn’t old enough to join without my mother’s consent, which she wouldn’t give,” said Gill. “So, I simply registered for the draft.”
With his twenty-first birthday quickly approaching and draft eligible, Gill’s mother finally gave her permission and he quickly applied for the Aviation Cadet Program. Gill quickly found himself in a whirlwind of training as he pursued his dream of becoming a pilot.
One of those stops was at the University of Tennessee where he met a local beauty named Joan Perrin on a blind date. The two dated until Gill received orders to pre-flight training in Alabama, but continued to exchange letters.
In the Pacific
Gill made it to pilot training, but a series of illnesses set him back until he finally washed out. In spite of the setback, Gill was determined to fly and was reclassified as a navigator.
After completing all his required training, Gill found himself in the Pacific Theater, serving with the 307th Bomb Group, the famed Long Rangers.
By the time he arrived, the Japanese Air Force was weakened, but missions were still very dangerous. He recalled one relatively simple mission that nearly cost him his life.
“We went to the east coast of Borneo to destroy some enemy fuel tanks with delayed action bombs at 200 feet,” said Gill. “But when we released our bombs, the delay didn’t work and that huge fuel tank blew up right beneath us.”
The explosion created a large hole in the right wing and fuselage, nearly forcing the plane down. When the crippled plane finally landed, Gill went to inspect the damage. Recalling the incident, he laughed at what he found.
“There was a big piece of metal from the tanks sticking in one of the engines, so I pulled it out and the writing on it read ‘Shell Oil’!,” he said.
Gill went on to fly 43 missions during his time in the Pacific, part of a force that destroyed the enemy’s ability to re-supply itself and hastened the end of the war. But even after war’s end, Gill’s love for flight would continue to provide a legacy that even he could not foresee.
A lasting legacy
After Japan surrendered, Gill left the Army and married, Joan Perrin, the belle he’d met back in Tennessee during his training. Years went by and they found themselves welcoming grandchildren into the world. He wrote a letter to one of them, Jacob Gill, at his birth. The letter was not to be opened until Jacob’s twenty-first birthday.
“I wrote a list of wishes I had for him and one of those was that he would go to the Air Force Academy,” said Albert Gill.
Though Jacob could not possibly know his grandfather’s wish in the unopened letter, he did wind up graduating from the AFA. Now, 1st Lt. Jacob Gill, he is working toward becoming a B-52 pilot. He is assigned to the 93rd Bomb Squadron’s Formal Training Unit, which is part of the 307th Bomb Wing.
When he was first assigned to the FTU, Lt. Gill didn’t fully understand the unit’s connection his grandfather’s aviation heritage. It was during his first days at the unit that he noticed an instructor wearing the Long Rangers patch.
“I grew up seeing that patch at my grandfather’s house, so I immediately went to tell him that I was now serving in his old unit,” said Gill. “He was so excited!”
Adding to the family heritage is Lt. Gill’s wife, 1st Lt. Hansena Gill, who serves as a navigator for the B-52 Stratofortress. Despite the advancements in bomber navigation since World War II, she and Albert Gill share a special bond.
“He’s definitely had an influence on me and we talk about all the differences in navigation between now and his flying days,” she said.
It’s been decades since Albert Gill has served as a navigator with the 307th Bomb Group. But his special legacy endures. | <urn:uuid:13a48891-f7ab-4ed7-8736-463fe9bfc5fa> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.10af.afrc.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/1720784/family-tradition/ | 2019-07-21T10:30:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.984994 | 1,206 |

I was asked recently about my books and what order you should read them in. That’s an interesting question. The order they came out in is not necessarily the order you should read them in.
What order you should read my books in depends on what problems you’re facing.
Are you struggling with creativity? Start with Marketing Red Belt.
Are you stuck doing the same old thing and you can’t figure out what to do differently? Start with Leading Innovation.
Are you struggling with measurement, metrics, analytics, and analysis? Start with Marketing Blue Belt.
Are you just starting out in digital marketing? Start with Marketing White Belt.
Whichever order you read them in, I hope you find great value in them.

Intro to Fashion Design Inspiration: Where to Begin
Hello and welcome to CreativeLive. My name is Kenna Klosterman, and I am your host for Fashion Design: Start to Finish with Jay Calderin. Now, Jay Calderin is the founder and executive director of Boston Fashion Week, which he started over 20 years ago. They just celebrated their 20th anniversary which is really, really exciting. Jay is a designer, an author, and he is also an instructor and the director of creative marketing at the School of Fashion Design in Boston. In between doing things like authoring multiple books, Jay is also a mentor. He is a speaker, a promotional public speaker, and he is here, very much excited, to teach all of you about fashion design, again, from start to finish. So, Jay, I think when people hear the term fashion design, the fashion industry, people generally think, "Oh, Project Runway. "That must be exactly what it's all about," right? (laughs) That's not what it's all about.
Jay, what are some of the biggest misconceptions that you have seen tha...
t your students and people in the industry have over the years about what fashion design is truly all about?
Well, they think with reality shows and things like that, and even when you see runway shows online or see magazine spreads, we think about the finish line. We think about that rush at the end, that final bow, or the beautiful images, and I think for people who are really thinking about a career in fashion, the process is really the key. That pathway to getting to that finish line is so rich with experiences and this whole creative process that's really fulfilling. That's why I wanted to do this, 'cause I think it's more about why to than how to, 'cause you can get the how to, but the why to is very important.
I think that's really exciting. What I'm so thrilled about with this class is that there are so many nuts and bolts, as well as that why, into what this industry, all the different pieces of the industry, I've been looking through some of the bonus materials that you're providing as part of this class, and just the breadth and depth of all of the possibilities of what one could do in this industry is a little bit overwhelming.
And so what I am excited about is that you're gonna break that down, so there's something for everybody. People can really see what they might be drawn to most.
Right. When they see the big picture, it often helps them, because a lot of people think, "Oh, fashion design is only about that designer," but there's so much more to it, and when you see the big picture you can kind of figure out where you feel comfortable, where you're drawn to, find your niche.
Alright, well, I think we're ready to get started, so Jay, take it away. Thank you for being here on CreativeLive.
My pleasure. So, fashion is a lot of things. Fashion is the art. Fashion is the craft. Fashion is the theater. But fashion is also the business. A lot of times in situations in the business of fashion, designers are expected to kind of have inspiration at the drop of the hat. That starting point is probably one of the hardest things to deal with. So we're starting in this class with Fashion Design Inspiration. The three main areas we're going to cover in this class are going to be creating moodboards to develop and contain your concepts, and we're gonna have a lot of fun with that process. Focusing your attention one garment at a time and one collection at a time. And finally, editing a collection to eliminate the unessential. | <urn:uuid:8285371a-df81-4fbf-aaf4-4f4c0c1d49bb> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.creativelive.com/class/fashion-design-inspiration-where-to-begin-with-jay-calderin/lessons/intro-to-fashion-design-inspiration-where-to-begin | 2019-07-21T10:54:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.980355 | 774 |
This easy DIY faux flower wreath (a Lily of the Valley wreath, to be specific) combines my two loves: turquoise and my favorite flower. Lily of the Valley used to flower around my birthday (mid-June) so it always felt like Mother Nature’s gift to me. But this year it bloomed a little late and seemed to finish flowering really quickly. I still managed to fill a few vases and enjoy them! I probably enjoyed my Lily of the Valley even more this year =because I knew they wouldn’t last as long. The tiniest little bouquet made the house smell so amazing.
When they had finished flowering, I decided to make a faux Lily of the Valley wreath. Of course, the aroma is half of the appeal – but I do also love the delicate bell shaped flowers. And a DIY faux flower wreath is so easy to make – I whipped this up in about twenty minutes (while I standing outside by my truck, and soaking in the sunshine).
I really love how my new Lily of the Valley wreath pops against my dark grey/brown garage door – it adds a little color and cheer (and looks cute with the garage door mural I painted last summer):
A DIY faux flower wreath is super simple to make so it barely needs a tutorial, but I’ll share my steps and supply list to make it even easier (do you remember these faux Lily of the Valley flowers from my Spring Tablescape?). I suggest hitting up the thrift stores for a wreath form and flowers because you can save a lot of money on craft supplies by buying secondhand.
(I may or may not have photographed my supplies on the tailgate of my pickup truck because somewhere in the last five years I went full country, lol).
- Wreath form (I thrifted this willow one for $3)
- Spray paint (great for using up leftovers!)
- Faux lily of the valley flowers (I used approx 6 bunches – you can find them on Amazon too)
- Wire cutters
- Hot glue and glue gun
- Wire (for hook – optional)
How to Make a DIY Faux Flower Wreath:
First I spray painted my thrifted willow wreath form a bright aqua, using Rust-Oleum’s Spray Lacquer in Turquoise. It’s left over from my turquoise lacquer stool makeover!
I let the spray paint dry overnight. The next day, I started cutting apart the bunches of flowers. My faux Lily of the Valley came as one big bouquet, so I cut them into smaller bunches and even individual stems so I could affix them more easily.
Then I started gluing them to the wreath form with my hot glue gun. I started at the “top” of the wreath and worked my way down the right hand side. First I glued on a rough grouping, wrapping the leaves around the sides of the wreath to hide the glue. When I was happy with the placement, I went back and layered in more individual stems, carefully hiding the glue and tapering off the design. That’s it – it’s so easy! The only trick is thinking about placement so the glue is hidden. By the end, I glued on a few individual flowers at a time to really hide any signs of glue. And if you’re wondering, the hot glue has held up so well on all of my seasonal wreaths, withstanding heat and cold and wind and rain – I don’t even have a storm door to protect my wreaths.
To hang the wreath, I just fashioned a little wire loop:
Of course you can make this DIY faux flower wreath with any flowers and spray paint the wreath form any color! But I love the aqua with Lily of the Valley – it’s so fresh and pretty.

Exercise is a green approach to health care. Yes, a green pregnancy means making the most of what you take into your body, through what you eat, drink, and breathe, and also absorb through your skin, hair, and nails. But how you move your body is another powerful green way to make a difference. There are many benefits of exercise during pregnancy, including improved physical conditioning, strength, flexibility, and stamina. It builds endurance for labor and delivery and a quicker postnatal recovery. By exercising regularly, you may be able to reduce some of the common discomforts of pregnancy such as backache, swelling, and constipation. Most of all, you feel great about yourself when you exercise.
How Exercise Can Help More Than Medication
Let’s take a look at the effects of exercise versus medications for two of the most important complications of pregnancy.
As many as one in eight women will develop gestational diabetes sometime during their pregnancies, increasing health risks for themselves and their babies. Researchers at the University of Southern California School of Medicine studied a group of women who had already developed gestational diabetes and who had fasting blood glucose levels high enough to require insulin. Half of the women in the study received the recommended insulin. The other half got personal trainers instead. The trainers supervised the women while they did simple twenty-minute stints on exercise bikes.
The results were startling: moderate aerobic exercise was equally effective to insulin! Blood glucose levels were statistically the same in both groups.
If exercise can be a prescription-strength way to control gestational diabetes that has already developed, how much better to be active throughout pregnancy and perhaps prevent the problem in the first place.
Insulin costs in the United States are staggering. The state Medicaid programs alone pay $500 million a year just for the drug. The indirect costs of diabetes are huge. Exercise is a green approach to health care.
A complication of a pregnancy in which blood pressure increases and blood flow to the baby decreases. The only effective treatment for preeclampsia is to deliver the baby, so it contributes to the growing epidemic (and resource cost) of preterm deliveries. Again, regular brisk walking or other moderate physical activity begun during pregnancy significantly lowers the risk of preeclampsia. The benefit is even greater if the exercise is begun before pregnancy. As thankful as I am for neonatal intensive care units, they also represent one of the most intense uses of resources in health care. A walk in the park is a much greener way to deal with preeclampsia, when possible.
Yoga is one of the oldest physical practices in existence. Yoga balances mind and body, work and relaxation. Through movement, posture, relaxation, meditation, and intentional breathing, yoga aims to bring a healthy, lively, flexible approach to life. With its emphasis on harmony and balance, it is a beautiful metaphor for raising baby green.
Two recent studies compared an hour of prenatal yoga daily to an hour of brisk walking daily. One of the studies looked just at women with uncomplicated pregnancies. In this study, those who were randomly assigned to the yoga group were significantly more likely to have an ideal weight baby, significantly less likely to have preterm labor, and significantly less likely to develop hypertension than the women who exercised an hour a day by walking.
The other similar study looked at women with complicated pregnancies, who had already been diagnosed with abnormal blood flow through the umbilical and uterine arteries. These women were at increased risk of delivering babies that were too small. Again, those randomly assigned to the yoga group were significantly more likely to have a normal weight baby than those who walked for the same amount of time.
If you are interested in a home guide to yoga before and after having a baby, I like Anna Getty’s Guide to Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga, a DVD boxed set that is great for both beginners and for seasoned practitioners. As with any exercise, you can overdo it with yoga. Be careful not to strain yourself, and have your instructor check to be sure you’re doing it the best way for you.
The Green Exercise Standard
I agree with the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology in recommending 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day, or at least on most days. We all know that this is a good idea, but having a baby is a fantastic time to make this resolution stick.
Talk with your pregnancy health care team before embarking on your activity plan. Some exercise is wonderful. Too much, or the wrong kind, is not. And some pregnant women should not exercise or should exercise in an even gentler way.
But for most women, exercise during pregnancy is a wonderful benefit, giving you stronger muscles, denser bones, healthier joints, and less chance of urinary incontinence. And exercise also wards off the baby blues or postpartum depression. | <urn:uuid:47a47792-d174-455d-a7aa-887e5044de26> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.drgreene.com/exercising-two/ | 2019-07-21T12:04:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.964129 | 999 |

The Canon 1DX mark II means I don’t miss a moment
One of the things I’ve always loved about being a family photographer is the sheer unpredictability of my days. I never know what we are going to do on a shoot or what the kids will enjoy. Sometimes I have an inkling, I know it will be fun, and that was definitely the case with this recent shoot in London, my fifth session with the family – the girls were only two and six months when we first me which feels like only yesterday. But exactly what we will do or where we will go is often decided on the day, following the mood of the children.
This picture, a favourite from the session, was definitely one I hadn’t predicted. We had been taking some pictures on the sofa and then I’d thought that the windows offered some interesting opportunities, I loved the light and how the windows worked so well visually with the sofa, rectangles of light at different angles repeating throughout the pictures.
But I hadn’t expected this. As I was taking a picture the girls suddenly leapt over the sofa in this incredible acrobatic display and the result was this wonderful photograph, a real favourite from the session.
I love how the light wraps around the girls, it was strongly backlit from the windows but there was a second smaller window at the other end of the room which provides the fill light on their faces. Having the scene lit from behind means the girls really stand out, with a glorious halo of light which I find particularly delightful on their hands and feet, bringing all the details into sharp relief. It’s a picture that is so full of joy and so full of their personalities, fun, spontaneous and filled with humour.
From a technical point of view though, how do we take images like this and how do we take them when we don’t expect them to happen? I was using my Canon 1DX mark II for this shoot and This was a moment where it’s incredible autofocus capabilities came into play. The Canon 1DX mark II is the brands flagship sports cameras and I’ve always found it to be a great fit for kids as so much of what is important with sports is the same with children – unpredictable movement, fast changes of pace, the need for rugged build quality (I spend a lot of time around sand, water and bubble liquid) and fantastic low light capabilities. I love my EOS R but for moments like this the 1DX mark II is king.
I always shoot on AI SERVO mode which is the tracking setting so as the children jumped, I could move the focus with them ensuring they have stayed sharp even with the movement. It was taken at ISO 3200 f4 at 1/320 with the EF 35mm f1.4L II USM lens.
We had such a brilliant shoot, and this is just the beginning of the wonderful pictures. I hope you like it as much as I do and please get in touch if you would like to book a session for your family over the summer. July is very booked up but there are some available spaces in August, and I’d love to hear from you. | <urn:uuid:eb65c434-0ac0-44f3-9ce8-891689c13660> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.helenbartlett.co.uk/just-one/action-shot-family-photograph/ | 2019-07-21T11:06:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.971817 | 660 |
It’s been a crazy college basketball season and the zaniness would rise to a new level if Wichita State misses the NCAA Tournament.
Of course, the Shockers can take care of any doubt by running the table and winning the next six games, including three in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament in St. Louis coming up March 3-6.
For now, though, WSU seems to be walking a tight rope. CBS bracketologist Jerry Palm says the Shockers have to win the Valley tournament or are likely to be left out of the big dance.
Others aren’t quite so alarmist. Ken Pomeroy has WSU at No. 14 in his RPI, much higher than either ESPN (50), CBS (48) or realtimerpi.com (50). And that was before the Shockers’ went all Harlem Globetrotters against Missouri State on Thursday night at Koch Arena, winning 99-68 and slamming all 10 of their dunks in the game’s first 24 minutes.
While the game lacked intrigue, the Shockers’ NCAA fortunes are filled with the stuff. It’s like an intrigue pie.
If Wichita State were to stumble in any of its remaining three regular-season Valley games against Indiana State, Loyola and Illinois State, the Shockers would almost assuredly have to win in St. Louis to get to the NCAAs.
What about winning out in the regular season and losing in the MVC tournament semis. Nope, probably don’t want that to happen. And while the Shockers might be OK if they just get to the championship game in St. Louis, they might not.
Remember, too, that a lot can happen in the next three weeks. Heck, a lot can happen in the next 24 hours. There isn’t a clear-cut dominant team in the country and probably 20 that can make a compelling case to win a national championship.
The Shockers could well be one of them, which makes the shaky ground they’re operating on so unusual and so interesting.
Wichita State’s issue is the Missouri Valley Conference, which is having a rough season. But the Shockers have dropped a couple of Valley games recently, to Illinois State and Northern Iowa, and those losses put a dent in Wichita State’s RPI.
That RPI has been boosted by a difficult non-conference schedule, but compromised by the fact the Shockers don’t have many wins over high-quality teams.
Gregg Marshall doesn’t like being in a fight like this with a 20-7 team that has won 13 of 15 conference games. But this season, the fight is unavoidable. The Shockers are in tight quarters.
Dominance like Wichita State showed Thursday probably helps. So must four consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament, including a Sweet 16 and a Final Four. Haven’t the Shockers built enough credibility to get the benefit of the doubt, if there is indeed doubt?
I know you want a more definitive answer. I know like me, you look at this Shocker team and see a team that could create NCAA Tournament havoc. But the Shockers have to get in first.
Everyone who follows college basketball knows Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet, Wichita State’s superb seniors. But they might question what’s behind them.
Some answers may be starting to crystallize. Sophomores Zach Brown (16 points) and Rashard Kelly (12) had career highs against Missouri State and made 12 of 18 shots. They were also the game’s dunk masters, taking advantage of sloppy Missouri State ball handling and defense to throw down time after time.
Another sophomore, center Shaq Morris, had seven points and eight rebounds in 17 minutes. And HE DIDN’T FOUL ONCE!
I don’t know what a win over Missouri State does to move the needle in the right direction for the Shockers. Maybe nothing. And it’s doubtful that they can get much of an RPI boost on the road against Indiana State (Sunday) and Loyola (Wednesday).
If the Valley was an RPI buffet, it would serve only greens. So there is some logic to the notion that Wichita State has to win out, win six, to reach their final destination.
Yet that seems so unfair. Would a 25-8 Shocker team potentially be left out of March Madness? That would be mad, all right.
This is a situation that is fun to debate, but that has no solution. The only sure way for the Shockers is to go 6-0 and that’s certainly doable. But there aren’t any other 20-7 teams with Wichita State’s recent resume that are in this boat.
Over the course of the next 17 days, we’ll find out whether this boat floats, or whether it sinks. The Shockers are navigating waters that could start to get rough. So far, it’s steady as she goes. | <urn:uuid:afb72bb7-9291-4cd7-88c8-61238e3e0957> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.kansas.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/bob-lutz/article61230607.html | 2019-07-21T10:59:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.958644 | 1,053 |
As a child, Lazaro Davis would sit in a white-walled hospital room playing 1080° Snowboarding on his Nintendo 64, and watch Disney Channel shows.
“I didn’t have the ability to do much,” said Davis, 21, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia when he was 5.
The Miami Lakes resident is now in remission, thanks to treatments and a bone marrow transplant he received from his older brother Willie. Like other childhood cancer survivors, Davis must have his health monitored for late effects of treatment, or side effects that become apparent after your treatment has ended. His physician Dr. Enrique Escalon, director of the division of hematology/oncology at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital says late effects can occur over a few years, or over a few decades.
Risks of Late Effects
The National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health notes three key factors that can affect a child’s risk of developing late effects:
▪ Tumor-related factors: Tumor type, its location, and how it affects tissue and organ function.
▪ Treatment-related factors: Dose and frequency of chemotherapy, stem cell transplants, and surgery.
▪ Patient-related factors: Patient gender, genes and age at diagnosis.
Children who received radiation to their chest, abdomen or pelvic areas are at the highest risk, along with those treated for bone cancer, brain tumors or Hodgkin lymphoma. The National Cancer Institute reports that late effects can include second cancers, joint replacement, congestive heart failure and hearing loss.
Overall, survival rates for most childhood cancers have increased over the years. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common childhood cancer, has gone from a five-year survival rate of less than 10 percent in the 1960s to nearly 90 percent today, according to the National Cancer Institute.
“We are saving more patients, but we are seeing side effects we weren’t seeing before because the survival is extended,” Escalon said.
Not present until adulthood
Vicente Ramirez, 20, of Kendall was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a type of brain tumor, when he was 13. After his first surgery, his left side was paralyzed. He had to relearn how to walk before undergoing radiation and chemotherapy.
“It’s so weird because you already know how to do such things, so when you have a walker and you can’t do it and you need the help — it’s weird,” Ramirez said.
Ramirez cannot run long distances like he used to, has some liver damage, and developed tinnitus (ear ringing) and hypothyroidism.
“I lost some coordination, but not strength,” Ramirez said.
Some late effects, such as infertility, may not be present in patients until adulthood, which is why doctors are addressing the issue early on.
“We are offering in teenage boys the option to do sperm banking,” said Dr. Doured Daghistani, medical director of pediatric oncology at Baptist Children’s Hospital.
Ramirez’s doctors took this option.
“It’s still very challenging for girls, to get to the ovaries and eggs — it’s still a ways from perfection,’’ Daghistani said. “I’m hoping in five to 10 years it will be so perfect we can offer it to teens and tell them you can have a child who looks like you.”
Cognitive issues can also develop from some treatments.
Dr. Julio C. Barredo, director of the children’s cancer programs at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, says younger patients are at higher risk as their brains are still developing.
“We try to avoid radiation in young patients because we know the consequences later,” Barredo said. “We try to minimize the long-term consequences as much as we can.”
Language and math skills often are most impacted, said Laurie Sargent, senior child life specialist at Baptist Children’s Hospital.
As a brain cancer patient, Ramirez went through speech therapy classes as his voice changed after surgery. At home he’d sing classic rock songs by Queen, The Beatles and AC/DC to help with his vocal skills.
“It worked,” said Ramirez. “All these things are so strange; it’s like you’re reinstalling these applications to your brain.”
To help with memory, Ramirez does brain exercises, naming countries, presidents and elements on the periodic table. He graduated with an associate’s degree from Miami Dade College and hopes to attend the University of Florida to study agriculture.
A healthy lifestyle
Dr. Deborah Kramer, a pediatric hematologist-oncologist at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Broward, says some late effects, particularly related to cardiovascular issues and osteoporosis, may not be present when the patient is a child. As such, she educates her patients about living a healthy lifestyle.

There’s no denying that getting outside and having a good dig in the garden gives you a positive feeling. Even after a stressful day, a five minute wander around the backyard pulling a few weeds and sprinkling the seedlings immediately calms me. But is there a scientific reason for why getting our hands dirty makes us feel happy?
According to a study at two prestigious UK universities, gardening might provide a more effective way to get rid of the blues than Prozac.
The breakthrough discovery conducted on laboratory mice revealed the existence of ‘friendly bacteria’ in the soil, which can naturally increase the levels of serotonin in the brain, resulting in the same effect as prescription antidepressants.
Identified as Mycobacterium Vaccae, the bacteriain soil cause cytokine levels to rise, which results in the production of serotonin. Gardeners inhale the bacteria, have topical contact with it and get it into their bloodstreams when there is a cut or other pathway for infection.
The bacterium was tested both by injection and ingestion on rats and the results were increased cognitive ability, lower stress and better concentration on tasks than a control group.
Aside from having the potential ability to also strengthen the immune system, the study also revealed that this bacteria present in the soil can ‘trick’ brain cells into producing more serotonin. A lack of serotonin has been linked to depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and bipolar problems.
The experiment found that the natural effects of the soil bacteria antidepressant was felt for up to three weeks after contact. The one disclaimer for this is the use of Roundup, a 2008 study showing that the active ingredient in the common poison – glyphosate – will undo all the good effects by depleting serotonin and dopamine levels.
Another way science is showing us how time in the garden makes us happy relates to the dopamine rush we receive when harvesting. Researchers are saying that this response evolved over nearly 200,000 years of hunting and gathering, when a successful food forage would result in a dopamine spike in the reward centre of the brain, triggering a state of bliss or mild euphoria. Apparently this dopamine release can be triggered by the mere sight or smell of a ripe fruit or berry in front of us.
I’ve heard from many people that gardening is their ‘happy place’, enhancing their good mood and smoothing out the stresses of the day. Backing it up with science is fascinating, but hardly news. Perhaps just an added excuse (if we ever needed one) to leave the emails and the dishes behind and step out the back door to greet the green. | <urn:uuid:ea5972dd-386a-4cb0-bb0a-d85a04f5cb34> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.naturesapprentice.com.au/newcastle-herald-articles/2016/2/17/gardening-makes-you-happy | 2019-07-21T11:47:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.945346 | 532 |
[dropcap]Cauliflower[/dropcap], contrary to popular belief, isn’t just broccoli’s albino sibling. Did you know that this underrated vegetable comes in three other colors? Green, purple and orange varities of cauliflower may be less widespread, but they’re equally (if not more) nutrious and delicious.
Green cauliflower, known as broccoflower, is essentially white cauliflower’s green twin – sweet, nutty and simple.
Purple cauliflower gets its color from the antioxidant anthocyanin, found also in red cabbage and red wine. Although it tastes similar to white cauliflower, it’s slightly sweeter and nuttier – and it brings more vibrant colors to your dinner table.
Orange cauliflower is caused by a genetic mutation, but one that’s less disturbing and more delicious. It offers 25 percent more vitamin A than its white counterpart. Discovered in 1970, this group of cauliflower is fairly new. Although it’s called the cheddar cauliflower, it (sadly) doesn’t taste anything like cheese – but feel free to melt cheese on it yourself. | <urn:uuid:ccf006a2-30b4-4ab0-b0e6-8c8824b6286e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.okmag.com/blog/2016/08/31/the-many-colors-of-cauliflower/ | 2019-07-21T10:46:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.926247 | 246 |
“He’s not a conservative.” That’s Rush Limbaugh talking about Jeb Bush. “The ideal, the perfect ticket, for the 2016 election: Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush. Now, they can figure out who’s on top of the ticket on their own, but when you compare their positions, Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush, on the key, important issues, they are two peas in the same pod.” That, too.
Story Continued Below
This is what people mean when they say the man who would be the third Bush president has a talk radio problem. He has a talk radio problem, conservative activist and writer Brent Bozell said, because he has “a conservative problem.” He has a talk radio problem, Ingraham said, because he has an “electability” problem. “To me,” Ingraham told POLITICO, “Jeb is the easiest candidate for Hillary to beat by far because he divides the GOP at a time when we need a candidate who unifies the party. … He’s made it fairly clear that he believes he can win without conservatives.” The way Glenn Beck has put it: “I think Jeb Bush … despises people like us.”
Bush, who’s all but officially announced he’s running for president, has said he would want to run a “joyful” campaign. He’s said he would want to have “adult conversations.” It’s phrasing that hints at his general distaste for conservative talk radio. Some Bush allies privately refer to some of the medium’s leaders as “warlords”—a description meant to convey the unreasonable, unrealistic and pugilistic agenda of those who thrive off of conflict. Bush, on the other hand, believes a winning Republican campaign a decade and a half into the 21st century must promote inclusion and optimism, not discontent and fear. People think he’s too moderate in part because Limbaugh and the Limbaugh-like are saying he is. So here, almost a year before the 2016 Iowa caucuses, the primaries have started already—the fundraising and positioning of the so-called invisible primary, but a visible one, too, or at least an audible one. Call it the Rush primary.
Every Republican politician of a certain consequence over the last quarter-century has had to make a decision about how to engage with Limbaugh and the many others who populate America’s most redward airwaves. Bush right now isn’t talking about this because (1) it’s so early in the campaign the campaign can’t even technically be called a campaign and (2) that would be unwise. Limbaugh and his imitative competitors don’t need additional oxygen. But based on conversations with strategists and advisers connected to Bush, consultants, show hosts and industry watchers—and what he’s done over the past month—Bush won’t ignore talk radio.
If there is in fact a Rush primary, Bush, headstrong and self-assured, thinks he can win that one, too.
“While not a folksy storyteller, you want to listen to him not because he’s a preacher, but because he’s a teacher,” said David Aufhauser, a former senior Treasury official and Bush backer who co-hosted a fundraiser for him last month in McLean, Virginia. On talk radio, Aufhauser said, “in the long run, his scholar’s passion and personal will will win over even the most doubting of Thomases.”
“Jeb is a guy who knows what he’s talking about,” said Ed Rogers, the chairman of the lobbying and communications firm called the BGR Group. “He won’t shirk his critics or his opponents.”
“Talk radio is a lot more than Rush Limbaugh,” Bozell said. “Talk radio is several Rush Limbaughs, but in every media market, virtually every media market in America, there is what we call mini-Limbaughs—the local host who dominates.”
Limbaugh, though, is the host who’s been doing this the loudest and the longest.
He has the most history with the Bushes, too.
His first national show was August 1, 1988, too late in that year’s presidential election cycle to have any say or sway. But the next time around was different. And Limbaugh wasn’t sold on Jeb Bush’s father. George H.W. Bush, he thought, was an unrugged Ivy League elite, and one who ran against Ronald Reagan in the primaries in 1980 and decried Reagan’s trickle-down economic philosophy as “voodoo economics.” Limbaugh idolizes Reagan. He calls him Ronaldus Magnus. Early in 1992, Limbaugh took aim at a sitting Republican president, making it clear to his 13.5 million listeners that he preferred Pat Buchanan, Bush’s ultraconservative challenger in the primaries who said AIDS was “retribution for violating the laws of nature” and that he wanted Limbaugh to be his communications director.
The president’s response to this assault from his right flank was to make nice. He invited Limbaugh to the White House. Roger Ailes, a Bush adviser and a Limbaugh adviser, too, and now, of course, the boss of Fox News, played matchmaker. One night that June, Bush showed Limbaugh to the Lincoln Bedroom. He even toted his luggage.
“It was a thrill,” Limbaugh said the following week in an interview with The Associated Press. “The Lincoln Bedroom—that’s for people like Winston Churchill.”
Limbaugh insisted the visit wasn’t an effort to curry favor—“he never once asked about going on my show,” he said—but the courting of Limbaugh continued. He sat in the president’s box at the Astrodome in Houston at the Republican National Convention in August.
Limbaugh’s anti-Bush stance softened.
Bush lost, of course, and into the White House moved Bill and Hillary Clinton, whose power and shortcomings fueled Limbaugh’s ascent.
Russell from Memphis had a question. The caller had read a story in Newsweek—this was February 2008, and the headline was “ Why the Right Hates McCain”—and the story likened the 2008 John McCain campaign to the 1992 George H.W. Bush campaign. Russell wanted to know why.
“Because early on in 1992 in those primaries,” Limbaugh said, “I endorsed the wild-card candidacy of Pat Buchanan.”
“Oh, did you really?”
“I did, and I did this knowing full well Buchanan had no chance of winning the nomination. I was trying to infuse conservative debate in the primaries, because I figured if Bush was going to win again in ’92, he had to go back and do what he did in ’88 and start espousing conservatism, and I was right. And it all happened on Bush’s side too late.”
Now Russell from Memphis made the jump from Bush 41 to Bush 43. “Right,” the caller said, “and he obviously lost that reelection, but would you say that his son now, he was elected twice because he had more sound conservative principles?”
“George W. Bush?” Limbaugh said. | <urn:uuid:048d665e-4c48-4c2c-b90c-22fcd2d0daef> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/03/jeb-bush-rush-limbaugh-talk-radio-116283 | 2019-07-21T11:31:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.970855 | 1,597 |

DUBAI (AFP) - Uefa president Michel Platini on Sunday reiterated his desire to introduce a "white card" that would lead to a player being sin-binned.
The 59-year-old Frenchman first presented his concept in October, only to be met by fierce opposition from football's world governing body (Fifa) president Sepp Blatter.
However, Platini was sticking to his guns at the 9th edition of the Dubai International Sports Conference.
"The white card is a new initiative. It is related to the behaviour of football players. Play-acting, criticism on the field, these are not accepted by people who love the game.
"Yellow cards will still exist too but it might be interesting to have another card.
"This white card would send off a player for a few minutes, maybe five or 10. This would be a way to promote the game among fans who don't want to see this.
"With a white card, there would be no suspension. I think we should learn from other sports, like rugby, who have used this system."
Former Nancy, Saint-Etienne and Juventus playmaker Platini, who led France to the 1984 European Championship and two World Cup semi-finals, said the offside rule also needed to be simpified in order to reach a larger audience.
"There are different types of offside rules. It is difficult to find common and ethical standards to simplify the offside rule. We need to allow people who are in front of the TV to understand offside, too." added Platini.
"Now we have to convince Fifa". | <urn:uuid:20c06d12-88a3-4523-a2a6-7e15fc82ed57> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.straitstimes.com/sport/football/football-platini-pushes-white-card-idea-again | 2019-07-21T11:05:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.974255 | 338 |

In 1998, the Sippican Historical Society commissioned an architectural survey of Marion’s historic homes and buildings. The survey was funded one-half by the Sippican Historical Society and one-half by the Massachusetts Historical Commission. Due to the limits of funding, not all of the historic buildings were surveyed, but over 100 were catalogued and photographed. The results of the survey are in digital form on the Massachusetts Historical Commission’s website and in four binders in the Sippican Historical Society’s office (and at the Marion Town Clerk’s office).
Marion (Old Rochester) is one of the oldest towns in the United States, and the Sippican Historical Society maintains an extensive collection of documentation on its historic buildings. The Sippican Historical Society will preview one building a week so that the residents of Marion can understand more about its unique historical architecture.
This installment features 460 Front Street. Built in 1799, the large late Georgian residence at 460 Front Street was built for the first minister of Marion’s first Congregational Church, Rev. Oliver Cobb. The generous size of this house reflects Rev. Cobb’s standing within the community. This house, which is set back and faces an ample lawn, is a rare late 18th-century Marion example of a two-story house at the time when one-story Capes were the predominant building type. | <urn:uuid:fee1afc2-90d9-4c22-8cf0-2f58b3e603e9> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.wanderer.com/happenings/sippican-historical-society-66/ | 2019-07-21T11:40:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526948.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721102738-20190721124738-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.95565 | 287 |
Benzodiazepines belong to a group of drugs known as depressants. Other drugs that are also depressants include alcohol, cannabis and heroin. The term “depressant” does not necessarily mean that these types of drugs make a person feel depressed. Rather, the term refers to how they affect the central nervous system by slowing down its activity.
These minor tranquillisers are often prescribed by doctors as an aid to stress and anxiety relief and to help people sleep. Medical professionals have been concerned for a while about the long-term risks of dependency for those that take these drugs.
Abuse of benzodiazepines is also a problem. Many drug users take them to help with the “come down” after taking cocaine or speed.
Types of Benzodiazepines
Benzodiazepines are classified into three types – short, intermediate and long-acting. It is the shorter acting type that are hardest to “come down” from. They also tend to be more addictive than the longer acting Benzodiazepines.
Pharmaceutical Names of Benzodiazepines
Generally, these types of drugs will have a generic, or chemical name and a brand name. In each instance, the drugs will be identical, although they may often be produced by different manufacturers. Some of the more popular benzodiazepines include:
- Valium (Diazepam)
- Xanax (alprazolam)
- Librium (chlordiazepoxide)
- Ativan (lorazepam)
- Rohypnol (Flunitrazepam)
How Are They Used?
Benzodiazepines are normally swallowed.In some cases, they can also be injected.
Effects of Benzodiazepines
These drugs affect people in different ways. Some common effects include:
- Feelings of euphoria or isolation
- Loss of appetite
- Dry mouth
- Slurred speech
- Blurred vision
- Memory loss
- Fatigue and drowsiness.
- Constipation or diarrhoea
In large quantities, other experiences may include
- Aggression and changes of mood
- Slow breathing
- Death (normally when taken with alcohol)
Use of benzodiazepines on a regular basis may result in:
- Memory loss or muddled thinking
- Depression and anxiety
- Aggression, irritability and paranoia
- Changes in personality
- Poor sleeping
- Weight gain
Using Benzodiazepines With Other Drugs
Taking benzodiazepines with other drugs is highly dangerous and may result in breathing difficulties and an increased risk of overdose and death.
It is not easy to give up benzodiazepines. Once your body gets used to them, the withdrawal can be painful as your body must come to terms with functioning without them. It is always important to seek proper medical advice if you are considering giving up benzodiazepine use.
The symptoms of withdrawal can vary from person to person but can include:
- Achy muscles
- Stomach pains and nausea
- Fatigue and problems with sleep
- Poor concentration
- Anxiety, hallucinations and paranoia
A Hidden UK Crisis in Tranquiliser Abuse
The UK is now seeing and unprecedented rise in prescription drug addictions, according to feedback from drug counsellors, charity workers and doctors.
Data released in the summer of 2018 showed a spike in fatalities in Scotland linked to Alprazolam, the benzodiazepine tranquiliser used to medicate panic disorders and anxiety, and marketed under the trade name Xanax.
Between 2007 and 2015, deaths rose from just few to two in 2015. In 2016, 24 deaths were recorded, then 99 fatalities in 2017. Benzodiazepine related deaths rose from 192 in 2015 to 431 in 2016 and 555 last year.
Benzodiazepines & The Law
Tranquillisers are controlled under Class C of the Misuse of Drugs Act.
Unauthorised possession (i.e. without a prescription) could result in a prison sentence of up to 2 years and an unlimited fine.
Supplying, which includes giving some to your friends, could mean up to 14 years in prison and an unlimited fine

So I finally finished the corset that was supposed to go under my Titanic dress. =D A month after the Titanic event…
I was doing the 1911 Corset Sew Along, which started in January, and then realized I wasn’t going to be able to wear a corset come April, so I shelved the project. I’ve had some free time the last couple of weeks so I decided to sit down and finish it. I have no idea when I’ll get to use it but hey, it’s done!
I used the pattern provided on the Bridges on the Body blog, and mostly followed the sew along steps. She’s way more precise than me in her pattern drafting. I’m way lazy and skipped a lot of the detailed steps she took. ^^; I did do a muslin mockup though for my first fitting.
The bones on this corset are only 9-10″ long (except along the grommets), and obviously the channels are way longer, so you want to do something to keep the bones in place. The blog had a diagram and demonstration on how to do flossing which I thought sounded neat… until I tried it. Ohmigod, I suck at embroidery! It took me all day and it looks terrible!
I’m never doing that again. Next time, I’m just machine stitching a line across to hold the bones in place!
Just so you can see… the flossing is the really awful, crooked looking triangles in the photo below. =D
And just for fun, I took a photo of my corset liner. I’ve used this adorable cow flannel in all of my corsets to date. I have a ton left too, so it will probably be in every new corset I make for the next 30 years. | <urn:uuid:2f21d29f-3c63-4b9c-aea7-376fca3fe7b5> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://confused-kitty.com/2012/05/12/1911-corset/ | 2019-07-22T15:49:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528141.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722154408-20190722180408-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.968945 | 392 |

Fortunately, on the occasion of an joint event with other UN organizations, I had a chance to implement 1 hour long presentation in front of 800 students as UNESCO’s intern
The result was….success!
It was an international environment day, and the objective was to deliver an message to care environment. The venue is small gym with 800 GIRLS so that there would not be so much movement. The task given to me by other UN persons was
“Doing something dynamic”
Wow….although it sounded so challenging, I wanted to do it and decided to do something like
“Quiz with multiple colors”
First of all, I had distributed 3 papers with different color
As a preparation for myself, I made a PowerPoint document with quiz on the environment. I tried to not focus on Macro to Micro approach telling about global warming, but on something common to everyday life such as shower water or supermarket plastic bag, etc.
Each question has 3 choices and students will chose which color paper to chose (raising red one if answer is A, blue if B, G if C)
800 persons raise different color paper so that I thought it should be beautiful.
In the presentation, I used all the technique based on my experience of teacher, actor and dancer.
What was important was not to finish just with joy but also with learning, having them think and discuss what each of us can do for the issues.
Me: “Regarding what you are thinking and discussing about, when will we start? Tomorrow? Next week? Next year?”
800 students ” Nooooo”
Everyone: “Ahoraaaaa (Now)！”
It was a great experience and I learned a lot through it.

At a golf club, communicating with members is a vital task. Lose a member and you dont just lose a single sale, you lose a whole years worth of sales. And if you lose one member, you risk losing more. Theyre the life blood of the business.
The Ames Golf & Country Club in Ames, Iowa, a city of about 50,000 located 30 miles north of Des Moines, is fairly typical. Its 335 full-time members generate most of the companys $1.2 million in annual revenues.
The club maintains an 18-hole, 114-acre golf course laid out in 1971 by Donald Sechrest, the former PGA pro who designed 90 courses across the Midwest. It boasts lush fairways, tees and well-manicured greens, surrounded and irrigated by a few small, well-positioned lakes. The club also has a pool and tennis courts and offers a full slate of activities including tournaments, lessons and meets.
Like any other small business of its size, the AGCC is cost conscious. The 20 core staff members the head count swells to 90 in the summer with seasonal and part-time workers sometimes have to wear more than one hat. When the clubs membership and marketing director left last year, for example, the all-important communications role fell to business manager Nichole Kayser.
The job mainly involves producing print publications a monthly newsletter and regular e-mails that go out to members, monthly calendars distributed to staff and board members showing upcoming events and activities, flyers announcing meets and outings to post around the clubhouse, post cards for direct mail campaigns and more.
When Kayser took over, she immediately struggled with the Adobe PageMaker desktop publishing program that her predecessor had chosen and was using to produce the newsletter. PageMaker, the original desktop publishing program, is really a professional tool and makes few allowances for the needs of non-expert small business people.
My degree isnt in marketing and advertising, Kayser said almost apologetically. Im a business and finance person.
Making any change to a publication within PageMaker drawing a rule line, changing column widths or lengths, inserting a picture was a major hassle because each task had to be done manually. Starting a new publication from scratch was even more intimidating.
With PageMaker, what you get is a blank page, Kayser said. You have to add everything. Ive used a lot of programs. This one just isnt very user-friendly.
Luckily, the club was also using a version of Microsoft Office 2003 for word processing and spreadsheet. It included Publisher, Microsofts easy-to-use desktop publishing program. The latest version of Publisher, part of Office 2007, introduced earlier this year, sells on its own for about $170.
When Kayser took over the publications program at the AGCC, she gravitated to Publisher 2003. And later, when the clubs computer consultant, Heartland Technology Solutions, offered Kayser the chance to participate in the Office 2007 beta program and try out Publisher 2007, she jumped at it.
A Breeze to Use
She quickly discovered that Publisher 2003 vastly simplified the task of producing the calendars, for example. She could do it in PageMaker or in a word processor, but it meant laying out and drawing the boxes herself, being careful to start and end the month on the right day. And she had to redesign the page for each new month.
Publisher is just so much easier to use and so much more flexible, Kayser said.
Publishers great strength is that it comes with hundreds of professionally designed templates, ready-made layouts, with some text and graphics already in place and the position of additional graphics and text pre-determined. The library in Publisher 2007 includes templates in 25 categories for every imaginable type of business or personal paper-based, e-mailed or Web-based publication.
You can customize templates to personalize them by applying any of 60 professionally coordinated color schemes, sets of four complementary colors used for different elements in a publication, and 45 font schemes, sets of two fonts that work well together. You can also move elements around on the page.
Creating a calendar page that shows all the days of the month, with spaces to type in events such as the next AGCC board meeting or the upcoming womens golf tournament, is a breeze. Kayser selects the calendar template she wants, from almost 50 available in Publisher 2007, chooses the month from a drop-down list, clicks Create, and Publisher displays the pre-formatted calendar page with the correct dates and days.
Using the panel at the left of the page in Publisher, she can select objects to insert onto the page, such as the AGCC logo which she has stored in Publishers object library. And she can change the color scheme by selecting a new one from a drop-down list. Then she simply clicks in the box for a particular day and types a description of the event.
It takes me about 15 minutes a month per calendar page, Kayser says. How long did it take before? About 45 minutes to an hour.
Publisher 2007 offers a bunch of new and improved features. Kayser confesses she doesnt now remember which of features that she relies on are new and which were in Publisher 2003. A new template search function, for example, lets her search for templates by key word. If youre connected to the Internet, it will also search in a continually updated library of hundreds of templates available through Office Online.
The new version of Publisher also includes features that make it very easy to apply a consistent brand to all publications something design and marketing professionals know is crucial, but small businesses often neglect. It lets you customize templates with unique color and font schemes, then save design settings along with company logo and reusable text such as business name, address, phone numbers, etc. in a My Templates section. You can then apply those same elements to any publication.
Publisher 2007 includes new e-mail features too, which Kayser uses to simplify mailings to members. The program lets you personalize e-mails based on templates and add hyperlinks and bookmarks to e-mails to make it easier for recipients to navigate multi-page documents. And it gives you the ability to take an existing publication a newsletter, say and apply an e-mail template so it will be properly formatted for sending over the Internet.
A Change for the Better
Kayser now uses Publisher for everything, except the monthly newsletter. For that, she is still using PageMaker regrettably, she said. She doesnt bother to change the layout much from month-to-month, because its just too much trouble to do. She simply plugs new content into the existing layout.
That will change later this year, however, when the busy summer season is over and Kayser has some time to think and to create. Then shell make a new newsletter design in Publisher, which will be much easier to customize for each new issue.
I know that I can do something graphically and visually more pleasing than what we have now with PageMaker, Kayser said. Im really looking forward to seeing how the newsletter will work out. With Publisher, it will be a lot easier to create.

This bizarre little carving adorns the choir screen at the Church of Saint Bavo in Haarlem (not to be confused with Saint Bavo Cathedral, also in Haarlem). I thought it was just an artist’s whimsy. Nope! There’s more meaning than that.
After the church, we went to the Frans Hals Museum. One of the non-Frans Hals (and non-pickled-herring-related) things we saw there was this painting by Pieter Brueghel the Younger. It was a copy of his father’s work, Netherlandish Proverbs.
There are about a billion different adages illustrated in the painting (check the Wikipedia page). The bit we’re interested is down in the lower left. Comparing it to the toothy fellow up top chewing on the church, we can see that he is a “pillar biter,” or religious hypocrite. Probably not a concept you’d see showcased in a Catholic church at the time, but certainly in a Protestant one.
Looking at that list, I’m pretty amused by “the herring does not fry here,” meaning “this is not going according to plan.” And “He who eats fire, craps sparks” is so much more evocative than simply “playing with fire.” Which is your favorite? | <urn:uuid:9405306a-39a3-47f7-9e2d-7c829572bd08> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.braisinhussy.com/2016/10/04/netherlandish-proverbs-in-action/ | 2019-07-22T16:53:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528141.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722154408-20190722180408-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.967836 | 296 |

The Australian stock market has been trading sideways in a volatile manner since mid-year. No-one really knows if the US economy will succumb to the credit squeeze caused by the sub-prime lending fiasco, and draw the global economy into a slump, inducing a bear market. Or whether the US economy will scrape by avoiding recession, and the continue strength of the BRIC economies and Asia will push the Australian market to new highs.
Overall, after several years of double digit returns, I feel it's prudent to reduce my level of gearing from around 60% overall, to a lower level, perhaps even ungeared. However, I don't want to realise any capital gains this financial year (ie. prior to 30 June), so I need to look at some form of insurance against major losses if there is a significant fall in the market before I sell some stocks and reduce my margin loans.
I bought 7 All Ords Index Put options back in June, which would have offset most of my portfolio losses if the market index dropped below 6,500, but the options expire this month. I could buy some similar options that would offset any significant drop in the market (say, more than 10%), for a cost around 2% of my portfolio value. There are other avenues such a warrants, or even using CDFs to short-sell an ETF such as the Commonwealth Diversified Share Fund. I'll have to crunch some numbers to see which how much each alternative would cost to provide similar protection. These choices also have different features. For example, once I've bought XAO put options they would remain 'in force' until the expiry date. If the market rose they would simply decline in value. In contrast, if I sold CDF CFDs and the stock price rose I'd soon face a margin call to keep the position open.
On the other hand, I don't really believe in "market timing", and my investment plan is to remain invested for the long term and to use gearing to (hopefully) produce improved returns (at higher risk) over my investment timeframe. It's just that the series of interest rate hikes over the past few years have raised the interest rate on my margin loans to around 9.5%, which makes it less likely to be a worthwhile strategy (given the long-term overall returns from the Australian stock market are around 9-12% pa). Also, the recent changes in superannuation rules and the ability to invest in CFDs within the tax-advantaged superannuation system, make it attractive to move funds out of geared direct stock investments and into my SMSF. Using negative gearing (outside of the superannuation system) still provides some attractions via the ability to reduce taxable income and "convert" it into long-term capital gains. This is more beneficial than it might appear from simply looking at the income tax rates, as lower taxable income will impact on capital gains tax rates, access to the superannuation co-contribution for undeducted contributions and eligibility to Family Tax Benefit.

Sequence: Meta-Noir Narratives is a series of ink drawings and specialty prints that reflect the tone and mood of film noir. This tone and mood is obtained by implementation of a ‘noir filter.’ The filter is applied to appropriated images from contemporary motion pictures. The selection of these appropriated images is based on the cinematic conventions of camera angles, lighting and/or mise-en-scene theory. Visually,the filter is the conversion of a digital still into an expressive monochromatic ink drawing that features a low key lighting effect. This rendering hinders immediate recognition of the image, thereby introducing a sense of déjà vu. The conversion also enables the manipulation of characters and settings of the digital stills. These drawings are sequenced into freely formed non-linear splintered chronologies. The free form method utilizes the juxtaposition of camera shots, subject matter, psychological effect and value. The images are rendered at various scales. The small ink drawings are sequenced in order to emphasize the splintered chronology of film noir and non-linear filmmakers like JeanLuc Godard. The large drawings serve to magnify and direct attention to certain film conventions such as oblique angles and lateral visual focus, which effects are lost when rendering images at a small scale. | <urn:uuid:c6ed3069-5d6e-4a75-be0f-a9750fa1fd8d> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.patrickdew.com/galleries/sequence-meta-noir-narratives/ | 2019-07-22T15:51:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528141.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722154408-20190722180408-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.907561 | 266 |

Isn’t it true when you start organizing one thing in your life then you end up going for it and moving onto the next.
Life is so much easier when things are organized. When you’ve finished organizing the laundry room, why not move onto the next room in the house. If you're organised all around you, then you are sure to also become more organized inside – with a sound mind.

Organizing You Laundry Room
Organization in the laundry room may not make it more enjoyable but it will certainly speed up the task. Give yourself time to adjust to your new system and if you can get the family to participate it makes everything a whole lot easier.
Organizing your kitchen and dining room
These rooms pose the biggest challenge in the house and perhaps the most important to get organized. They require regular cleaning.
Organizing Your Bedroom
The master bedroom can often become the “dumping ground” when guests arrive! Stashing things quickly here - but is it really out of sight out of mind!
Organizing your bathroom
Space is of the essence in the master bathroom – it is indeed a premium quality in this room. Organize to utilize this space.
Organizing your Living Room
The living room tends to be the place where everyone goes. As a result the mess gathers here sometimes at an uncontrollable pace!

Organizing the home office correctly is important in order to maintain maximum efficiency.
Closet Organizing Ideas

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Thursday, November 26th 2015 [ME NewsWire]
As a part of the UAE Innovation Week activities, the Directorate General of Residency and Foreigners’ Affairs in Abu Dhabi launched an ‘Innovation Lab’ at the directorate’s headquarters.
Brigadier Mansour Ahmed Ali Hamoud Al Dhaheri, Director General of Residency and Foreigners Affairs at Abu Dhabi Police, called upon staff members to pursue an innovation approach in order to further improve and develop the services provided by the police to community members. This approach aligns with the Abu Dhabi Police’s vision in the field of creativity and innovation.
The ‘Innovation Lab’ reflects the Ministry of Interior’s vision to promote innovation and sponsor innovators by adopting their ideas, and enabling them to unleash their intellectual potentials, and endeavor to leverage these potentials to achieve concrete and constructive results. The lab also embodies the directorate’s commitment to support talented and innovative staff members and help them to turn their ideas into reality.
The ‘Innovation lab’ provides an appropriate environment conducive to innovation, which encourages staff members to submit innovative ideas and suggestions to upgrade work and improve the services offered to members of the public.
During the lab’s inauguration ceremony, a number of staff members submitted a set of proposals to develop police work. Staff members also attended a workshop, which tackled the creativity and innovation concept, as well as mind mapping and brainstorming tools.
