April 5 (UPI) -- The U.S. Federal Reserve addressed President Donald Trump's economic moves at its March meeting before it raised key interest rates by another quarter point, a record of the meeting showed Wednesday.
The Fed released its minutes report for the March 14-15 meeting, which concluded with policymakers hiking the federal funds rate to a target range between 0.75 and 1 percentage point -- its second increase in three months.
The Federal Open Market Committee was nearly unanimous in its vote for an increase, but debated a bit on issues like Trump's economic agenda and inflation -- which, the minutes report showed, are not likely to be felt until next year.
"Participants continued to underscore the considerable uncertainty about the timing and nature of potential changes to fiscal policies as well as the size of the effects of such changes on economic activity," the report said. "However, several participants now anticipated that meaningful fiscal stimulus would likely not begin until 2018."
Members of the board also discussed the impact of policy actions on inflation, which the Fed values at around 2 percent as a gauge of good economic health. Unemployment, presently at a low of 4.7 percent, is directly tied to inflation forecasts.
"The staff viewed the uncertainty around its projections for real GDP growth, the unemployment rate, and inflation as similar to the average of the past 20 years," the minutes said.
Nine members of the board voted for the rate increase, and just one voted against. Previously, the Federal Reserve said it anticipated three rate increases in 2017, the March hike being the first. Last week, a non-voting Fed member voiced support for four increases in 2017. | <urn:uuid:51ec8414-4e13-421c-89da-d2a313b301e8> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2017/04/05/Trumps-economic-moves-likely-wont-be-felt-until-2018-Fed-report-says/6911491430805/?st_rec=3781491487907 | 2019-07-20T07:37:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526489.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720070937-20190720092937-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.977713 | 336 |

Perhaps because the sport involves riding a force of nature, surfers tend to be environmentally conscious. But the tool of their trade, the surfboard, has traditionally been anything but green.
That irony was not lost on Ryan Siegel, who has been shaping boards in Ocean Beach, Calif., for 13 years. By 2007 he was looking for an alternative to the polyurethane foam blanks made with toluene diisocyanates (TDI), which off-gas volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A friend introduced him to San Diego-based foam manufacturer Malama Composites, founded by Ned McMahon, a former surfboard shaper and marketing director for Hawaii-based board maker T&C Surf Designs.
Although officially incorporated in 2009, McMahon and his team had been working since early 2006 to make the process of manufacturing surfboard blanks cleaner and greener. They started out working with suppliers in the U.K. to replace TDI with less toxic methylene diphenyl diisocyanates (MDI) in their foam. Soon after, they experimented further by replacing the petroleum polyols used in the process with polyols derived from renewable plant-based oils, such as soy, castor and jatropha.
No one on the Malama team had a background in chemistry, McMahon says, so the process involved a lot of research and development. “We had basic knowledge of formulation, and of course we asked our suppliers questions all the time,” he says. “But frankly, a lot of it was our own testing—pouring a little bit, testing, playing some more. We had a process of running percentages. When things were going in a good direction, we’d go down that road.”
After about 12 months of testing, the team developed foam that doesn’t off-gas VOCs and can be reused or recycled. The company calls its product AinaCore, after the Hawaiian word for “Earth,” and for good reason. Malama doesn’t just use renewable resources to make its foam; it also considers the lifecycle of the materials it uses.
Siegel, who shapes boards under his own name but is affiliated with the nonprofit artist collective Sezio, started using Malama’s MDI and soy foam blanks in 2007 and estimates he has used them in 150 to 200 boards. He now uses them nearly exclusively, though he does use other blanks upon request. Both types of foam, says Siegel, who now serves as Malama’s post-production manager, have the same or better characteristics as more toxic TDI versions. The soy blanks, in particular, have better memory and resist pressure dings better than standard surfboards. The MDI blanks even have the same clean white color. | <urn:uuid:24163fbd-b5d7-4cc2-b1b1-29b621edea25> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://compositesmanufacturingmagazine.com/2011/01/greening-the-surfboard-composites-renewable-plant-based-oils/ | 2019-07-21T13:48:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.967787 | 584 |
d. 1340 H. (1921 CE.) in Bareilly, India
Imam Ahmad Raza Khan
By Mohammad Monawwar Ateeq
Imam Ahmad Raza Khan (d.1921), conventionally known as a leader of the twentieth century Ahl-e Sunnat wa Jama’at tradition (people of the Sunna and the majority) to its followers and to others as the Barewli Movement, was an alim and sufi in British India. He was born a year before the civil and military revolt of 1857 and was traditionally educated by his father, Mufti Naqi Ali Khan (d.1880) at home in Bareilly, under whom he completed the Dars-e Nizami syllabus studying a range of twenty-one Islamic sciences by the age of thirteen. He studied with other teachers too and traces intellectual links to the three centers of Islamic learning in India; Lakhnouw, Khayrabad and Dehli.1 In his licenses and Isnad certificates to the scholars of Makkah and Madinah in 1905, he put on record to have pursued an extensive spectrum of twenty eight sciences alone. He authored works in more or less everything he studied2 some of which received compliments from leading Sunni scholars of Hijaz, Yemen, Syria and Egypt.
Imam Ahmad Raza occupied most of his time in writing responses to people seeking guidance in religious, social, moral and political affairs which absorbed him to the very end of his life producing a bulky fatawa compendium in the Hanafi Law, now fully edited and indexed in thirty-three over sized volumes.4 He was an authoritative author, gifted scholar of classical Islamic sciences both the rational (ma’qulat) and transmitted sciences (manqulat) offering original contributions in nearly every field he studied, phenomenal Arabist, distinguished Mufti, a genius in the pantheon of great thinkers and recognized as a maker of the Muslim world5. He never wavered from supporting the Sunni doctrines and remained mindful of the positions of his elders as he was not just a scholar of Law but also a committed student of a Sufi father and devout murid of the Barakatiyya Sayyids of Marahra, who followed the Qadiri path.

Within the project “Playgrounds for all children” which is being implemented by the Association “Roditelji” from Podgorica, the Foundation Petrovic Njegos donated funds to provide the equipment for the playground in the Njegosev Park in Cetinje.
The Petrovic Njegos Foundation is currently carrying out the project on legal and psychological assistance to women victims of domestic violence, along with the sewing and screen printing trainings. | <urn:uuid:90246e94-7c97-41db-9572-3ca5220cef4f> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://fondacija-njegos.org/en/category/aktivnosti/solidarnost/page/4/ | 2019-07-21T12:53:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.952598 | 304 |

Whenever you're in need of a little something to whet your botanical appetite, you can check in anytime at A Plant a Day, where we're being introduced to delights from the central Great Basin. We'll pass on the Water Hemlock in favor of Wild Licorice, thanks just the same!
The Watcher takes us cruising through different altitudes in mid-June, following spring as it moves up the Wasatch Range from 5,000 ft, to 7,000 ft., and on up to 9,000 ft., where it's getting hard to cook (altitude, you know), so he throws in a touch of marital advice to season the pot. There's always a botanical kettle of stew bubbling at the Watcher's Suburban Stead, from Cottonwood seeds to wild geraniums and much much more.
Rabbit stew might end up on the menu at Phytophactor's, as he tries to balance the local backyard ecosystem. The Phactor introduced us to the sad malady of plant blindness a while ago, from which we're glad to say BGR lovers aren't suffering. He also introduces us to Magnolia, in a feature he calls "Know Your Genera," a very important skill in figuring out plants.
If you are having trouble with that, explore the perils of plant identification in Panama with Mary at Neotropical Savanna as she walks us thru the process of identifying a new plant, and her predicament reveals the pleasure of solving a puzzle, as well as how to go about identification.
The vegetable course picks up some floral notes at Kenton and Rebecca Whitman's Wild About Nature Blog. Foraging is apparently second nature to them, as they also bring us a review of the Forager's Harvest, by Samuel Thayer. Be careful out there, guys—and save some for the critters!
Hugh at Rock Paper Lizard offers a favorite grocery of that old weed-eater Euell Gibbons at Typha through the seasons, as well as a charming look at the much maligned Common Mullein.
Jeremy at Agrobiodiversity brings a favorite food of summer to the feast, with a post about corn (maize) traditionally kept by the Pawnee people. He mentions this story on the advantages of variegation, hoping someone else can provide us more detail.
Agrobiodiv is a also terrific trip target for tongue-twisting treats you've never tasted, like amadumbe. Over at Jeremy's friend's place, be tempted all over again, with a plate of ground nuts, soon to be better known as hopniss! Radix always seems to get at the root of things, and don't these look yummy! (No, these aren't the hopniss.)
The delightful and delectable Bluebunch Wheatgrass is species of the week at Elizabeth Enslin's table. Elizabeth is a lawn-hating recovering academic who learns to love grass, after years of fighting invasive grasses in lawns at Yips and Howls.
I can't resist cycads, even though they're rarely edible and often toxic. Tai haku introduces us to Zamia portoricensis, mother and child at Earth, Wind, and Water. You'll find links to all his cycad posts on this page.
Bobbie the Backyard Grower brings dessert, reminding us that Blueberry Benefits include anti-aging effects in addition to the other touted benefits of this dark luscious fruit.
Lastly, because you can't make a meal without killing something and to help us keep everything in perspective, Sarcozona reminds us of What We Killed Thursday at Gravity's Rainbow. While this particular species was declared extinct in the wild rather than completely extinct, the damaged herbarium specimen she found is apparently the only record of Erythroxlym echinodendron. Sadly, there don’t seem to be any reintroduction projects in place or even specimens being studied in botanical gardens.
That concludes our banquet today, thanks for coming. I hope you find it satisfying despite my tardiness in getting it together. Stay tuned to Berry-Go-Round headquarters for the location of next month's buffet. Meanwhile, it's summer—get out there and eat it up! | <urn:uuid:6229aaba-efdc-46c6-a260-208d4e7f7948> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://foothillsfancies.blogspot.com/2009/07/ | 2019-07-21T13:49:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.955824 | 928 |
Last Sunday was my second Gastric Mind Band Therapy (GMBT) session. It's been a busy, busy week and I can't believe it's Friday already and I'm just now posting about it. But that works out just fine because now I can tell you how the session has helped me over the last week.
During the first GMBT session my therapist, Julie Gibson, did an in-depth interview with me to determine where I've been, where I want to go and the best way to help me get there. The hypnosis that we finished the first session with addressed just that: what my life will be like if I continue on the path I am on, and what is waiting for me if I change my habits for the better.
I noticed in the week after the first session that my interest in fast food waned considerably and when I had an opportunity to be a little active, I had a little pep in my step. My weight gain halted and I actually lost almost 2 lbs.
The second GMBT session was on a Sunday, like the one before. Julie had given me a homework assignment geared toward addressing my motivations, my attitude about my body and resolving some emotional baggage. We had a long talk at the beginning of this second session, just like at the first one. We talked about the times in my life when I am more likely to hit the drive-through or overeat or over-indulge: usually when I am stressed or frustrated or very very busy. We talked about why that was, and about how to handle those situations more constructively, as far as continuing weight loss. I established a goal weight, which is the 125 lbs that I maintained for over five years, only to start this crazy weight-gain five years ago. We discussed a goal outfit but I wasn't able to pick one that I really had my heart set on and could picture. I've been thinking about it this week and might have one for this coming Sunday's session.
Julie gave me a book with calorie, fat and carbohydrate counts for lots of common foods and for many restaurants. I've used it a few times this week, just to help me be aware of the decisions I'm making. GMBT is not designed to require you to count calories or points or anything, but to help you make healthy decisions every day, meal after meal. She also discussed Dr. Daniel Amen's book Change Your Brain, Change Your Body and lent me a copy to read this week. I'm working on it. It's an interesting read and makes alot of sense.
We finished this session with hypnosis, which we will be doing in every session. This time Julie handed me a small black box to hold in each hand, each with a wire going to some small contraption. She said it was for another specific kind therapy. The boxes buzz for a few seconds, alternating between the one in one and and the other, and the purpose is to engage both the left brain and right brain in the process. After the initial relaxation exercise, she talked about my goal, about how some of my weaknesses (hello fancy sugary coffee beverages) are counterproductive to these efforts, about making healthy choices and losing one to two lbs per week to get to my goal, and then she moved into the other portion of this hypnosis session. She activated the little boxes I was holding, and they started vibrating gently. She talked about stressful or emotional situations and how they were not going to affect the healthy choices I was making. I actually have no idea how long the hypnosis sessions last. I know I dozed off occasionally. When we finished, once again I was so refreshed and relaxed; I felt wonderful.
I will tell you, I haven't weighed myself yet but this week I have noticed some serious differences in my habits. Aside from my morning coffee, I rarely want coffee later in the day. I will think "Maybe I'll make another pot of coffee" after dinner, and then I'll think "I really just want some water." I've been drinking water and bringing my lunch to work almost every day. I will have a snack and I won't feel bad about it, but instead of picking up a caramel frappe and a McDouble at McDonald's, I might break out a pear and some peanut butter, or have a snack-size candy bar if I really want something sweet. I've been in bed by 10:30 p.m. almost every night and can tell a real difference in my energy levels with consistent sufficient sleep. All in all, I haven't weighed yet so I have no idea if I've lost any weight this week, but I've been making good decision after good decision. And it's been easy. It's as if a little health-fairy is perched on my shoulder, whispering the right choices in my ear. Don't get me wrong, if I want to make bad decisions nothing is going to keep me from it. But it is so much easier to make the healthier decision.
My second to last GMBT session is in two days, on Sunday again. I can't wait to see the changes that will follow this next session.
Have a great weekend!

Retargeting users who have already interacted with your brand is one of the most powerful and cost-effective ways to drive leads and conversions. But what makes one agency different from another?
Are you retargeting based on the products/services viewed, the recency of past engagement, a demographic attribute, custom defined user-segment, channel origination, or a combination of all these attributes?
Everything about retargeting ads, from the design, to the offer and funneled down to the call-to-action can and should be personalized.
Has your agency really thought through the customer’s journey? Are they attracting a return-visit with an irresistible offer or alluring information, or are they just “spraying & praying” with the same block of banner ads over and over?
What is the highest converting contenton your site? Are the right landing pages being employed in your remarketing campaign? | <urn:uuid:133c3fc3-393b-4f68-9aae-73eb25d721df> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://massmediamarketing.com/programmatic-display-retargeting/ | 2019-07-21T13:29:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.935584 | 191 |
Inside The Ebola Isoloation Ward
Western Africa is experiencing the largest Ebola outbreak that humanity has ever experienced! The Ebola death toll in West Africa reached 1,145 Friday, and things are getting downright scary. The current outbreak is the deadliest since Ebola was discovered in 1976.
Ebola is a viral illness of which the initial symptoms can include a sudden fever, intense weakness, muscle pain and a sore throat, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). And that is just the beginning: subsequent stages are vomiting, diarrhoea and – in some cases – both internal and external bleeding.
According to BBC, disease infects humans through close contact with infected animals and then spreads between humans by direct contact with infected blood and bodily fluids, or indirectly through contact with contaminated environments.

Entire wards have been created at hospitals just to make sure this disease stays contained and they look like something out of a science fiction movie. | <urn:uuid:e72ed3b2-2950-4f0d-8243-dd7cf1be2446> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://memolition.com/2014/08/20/inside-the-ebola-isoloation-ward/ | 2019-07-21T13:19:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.952243 | 198 |

In addition to the datasets that can be searched for through this section of the portal, the UK’s Office for National Statistics also provides the Virtual Microdata Laboratory (VML). The VML provides access to the microdata used to produce many of ONS’ aggregate datasets.
Researchers researching microbusiness may find accessing some of the VML’s micro-datasets particularly useful, since it allows for, for example, the creation of control groups against which to compare microbusinesses with other types of business, or with each other. For example, the Business Structure Database microdata can be accessed through the VML and contains some microbusinesses, albeit the bulk of the businesses included are those registered for VAT, which many microbusinesses will not be.

By Dayo Johnson, Akure
THE Provost of Adeyemi College of Education (ACE), Ondo, Prof Olukoya Ogen, says the Federal Government has not discontinued the plan to upgrade the institution to the status of a degree awarding institution.
The delay, according to him, was caused by the absence of enabling law which has been passed by the Senate but still in the House of Representatives for final passage.
“The Senate has passed the bill upgrading the College of Education to University of Education. The bill is now waiting for the concurrence of the House of Representatives and the signature of President Buhari”, he said.
Ogen, who was addressing newsmen on the 34th convocation of the institution, said that the process had reached 95 percent and the institution would soon become a University of Education.
He said that no fewer than 12,628 students will bag different certificates in education during the convocation which would combine graduates of the institution in the last four years.
The putting on hold of the convocation ceremonies of the institution for four years, he said was due to paucity of funds, saying the institution has to choose between holding an annual ceremony at the expense of tangible development projects in the school. | <urn:uuid:02048b2f-8ae1-4210-8328-bbd7dc4df245> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://nigerianoracle.com/upgrading-of-adeyemi-college-to-varsity-on-course-provost/ | 2019-07-21T13:51:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.976999 | 258 |
Welcome to the latest instalment of Cracker Comments. Where self appointed experts, finger waggers and anti-science proponents assault us with their own, unique brand of moral imperativeness.
Every week, we are treated to mind-bending analogies that defy logic and there’s no better topic than illegal drugs for these self proclaimed oracles to apply their craft.
Role: : Western Australian Minister Mental Health
Date: August 2010
The WA government has recently copped a lot of flack over their decision to repeal the state’s successful Cannabis Control Act. In their defence they cited debunked myths like the gateway theory, junk science reports exaggerating links to mental health disorders and the usual anti-drug slogans from the 1980s. What they failed to tell us was they had no actual scientific evidence backing their decision. In fact, the medical world is full of recent research slamming the very strategies they have proposed.
So it was a real treat to hear the Minister for Mental Health referring to the need for evidence based solutions and rejecting the very tactics his government initiated.
"Solutions need to be based on the evidence, not driven by popular, and often misguided notions of how harms can be reduced."
Evidence? Misguided notions of how harms can be reduced? Did the minister even check what one of his overpaid hacks had written for him? His statement actually acknowledged that cannabis use had “been steadily and significantly declining” under the previous policy which means the “misguided notions of how harms can be reduced” was … er, reducing harms. It doesn’t get much funnier than this.
Role: HeraldSun Sports Reporter
Date: September 2010
The previous article in The Australian Heroin Diaries congratulated HeraldSun reporter, Mike Sheahan for slamming self indulgent, self important journalists / broadcasters who were arrogantly portraying themselves as experts on illicit drugs and recovery treatment. Since then, Hawthorn player, Travis Tuck has been pinged by the AFL for drug use a third time after an incident where police found him unconscious in his car. It’s been revealed that Tuck has been suffering from depression with the AFL medical experts helping him with treatment. As per their drug policy, the AFL has penalised Tuck for having three strikes and suspended him for 12 matches along with as much help as he needs.
But, here’s the crunch. After all the criticism dished out to the AFL for their drug policy not naming and shaming players who use drugs, some boneheads like Rebecca Wilson from the HeraldSun are now crying the AFL were too harsh.
"In the meantime, the AFL has effectively abandoned him by publicly hanging him out to dry when he is at his most vulnerable."
I’m sorry Bec, but you’re a goose.
Anyway, this article is about cracker comments and although the above quote from WIlson tickles us the real prize is yet to come. Wilson, with her many decades of drug abuse expertise [sarcasm] has decided the AFL need not bother their medical experts anymore as she has the solution.
"Admissions of weakness are not such a bad thing. Demetriou and Anderson simply must throw out the rule book and start again. Consult those at the coalface who live and breathe club footy with dozens of young men at their physical and professional peak."
Yep, lose the medical stiffs and employ the wisdom of a footy club. I know I would feel better knowing someone was being treated for a complex medical condition by a football club administrator, a handball coach and the orange boy.
Once again … Bec, you’re a goose.
Role: Qld. Police Union President
Source: The Sunday Mail (Qld) - Queensland Police Union Rejects 'Insulting' 2.5% Pay Rise And Start Advertising Campaign For Better Pay
Date: July 2010
Here’s a snippet from an article in The Sunday Mail (Qld.):
Recent police figures show 50 officers a week are being spat on, punched, kicked and assaulted with more than 2700 officers assaulted across Queensland last year.
On Friday, a teenage girl was jailed for repeatedly spitting on an officer and yesterday a man, 18, was charged with serious assault for spitting at a city officer.
The police may very well deserve a pay increase in line with other public servants but using scary, fictitious scenarios is not really appropriate e.g. claiming that disease ridden druggies spitting on officers will somehow infect them with HIV or Hep C. Yep, the hospitals are full of dying people infected by spitting druggies.
"When you get spat on by an offender, who very well could have been using drugs, you need to get a disease test order to make sure you're not infected.
How do you explain to your three-year-old child that you can't show them affection, you can't give them a kiss because you might have hepatitis or HIV?"

Accidents happen. Despite this wisdom being universal, it doesn’t seem to be any easier when one happens to you.
An accident attorney can certainly keep it from becoming too hard. Their unique specialization requires laying out your unique case and analyzing it from all angles, helping you get back on your feet when you’ve been laid low or laid off. A car wreck attorney can help you figure out your car insurance after you’ve recovered from a crash. A personal injury attorney can assist with workers’ compensation after a slip and fall incident on the job. Instead of giving in to the inevitable, take charge of your life and reach out to a professional that’s seen it all before.
Slip and fall incidents are easily one of the most common tales brought to an accident attorney’s desk. It’s estimated over 20% of these issues result in a month away from work, which is bad news for those living paycheck-to-paycheck. How can you pay your medical bills and rent when you’re unable to work? Workers’ compensation is required in 70% of states, but sometimes that’s not enough to get you the financial support you need to make a full recovery. An accident attorney can fill in the gaps and get you through this difficult period much easier than if you’d gone solo.
An accident attorney focuses, specifically, on helping individuals recover after an unexpected setback. With car crash rates on the rise, this is one legal area you can trust to offer you advice. There are over six million car accidents across the United States every year. This adds up to over three million people injured, making personal injury cases some of the highest they’ve ever been. Semi-trucks are involved in around 500,000 of these yearly accidents, with motorcycle and single-passenger vehicles creating a collective 35% of all new spine injuries, in particular. Even the source of this accident can determine the lawyer involved.
Drunk driving is a common factor on American roads. In fact, it’s so common it’s thought a person is injured in a drunk driving wreck every two minutes. While drunk driving primarily involves alcohol, it can also include a driver attempting to operate a vehicle while under the haze of over-the-counter medication, allergy medication or illegal drugs. A DUI attorney works in the middle area between car accidents and drunk driving, their job including interrogating witnesses who saw the accident and cooperating with local law enforcement to reach a legal conclusion. Keep in mind, however, that just 5% of personal injury cases will actually go to trial.
Personal injury cases often involved motor accidents. Human error is also to blame for a significant portion of car crashes. Recent data has uncovered a stunning 90% of commercial truck accidents are either caused or made worse by a simple mistake. This can be due to a sleepy truck driver, a neglectful nearby driver or a pedestrian that didn’t look both ways before crossing the street. Distracted driving and negligence are almost as widespread as drunk driving these days, only fueling the need for an accident attorney that can meet with all parties and try to encourage better behavior in the future. Making a list of what to ask your unique attorney will help keep you grounded when it’s time to visit your city’s law firm.
Asking your divorce attorney or DUI attorney their availability, your possibility of a court hearing and what you should expect over the next few weeks will help put everything in perspective. Bringing any relevant information, such as insurance or personal assets, will also keep your situation as organized as possible. When an accident strikes, it’s easy to throw your hands in the air and want to give up. An accident law firm will give you the support you need to move forward with confidence, helping transform a sudden bad day into a detail of the past. | <urn:uuid:08e5cb78-48d2-4fa3-84a5-aeb4bbfc5582> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.americaspeakon.org/car-crashes-and-workplace-falls-how-an-accident-attorney-can-give-you-a-helping-hand/ | 2019-07-21T13:23:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.959713 | 797 |
A particular diet may be chosen to seek weight loss or weight gain. Changing a subject's dietary intake, or "going on a diet", can change the energy balance and increase or decrease the amount of fat stored by the body. Some foods are specifically recommended, or even altered, for conformity to the requirements of a particular diet. These diets are often recommended in conjunction with exercise. Specific weight loss programs can be harmful to health, while others may be beneficial and can thus be coined as healthy diets. The terms "healthy diet" and "diet for weight management" are often related, as the two promote healthy weight management. Having a healthy diet is a way to prevent health problems, and will provide the body with the right balance of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.
Some cultures and religions have restrictions concerning what foods are acceptable in their diet. For example, only Kosher foods are permitted by Judaism, and Halal foods by Islam. Although Buddhists are generally vegetarians, the practice varies and meat-eating may be permitted depending on the sects. In Hinduism, vegetarianism is the ideal. Jains are strictly vegetarian and consumption of roots is not permitted.
Wine contains ethyl alcohol, the same chemical that is present in beer and distilled spirits and as such, wine consumption has short-term psychological and physiological effects on the user. Different concentrations of alcohol in the human body have different effects on a person. The effects of alcohol depend on the amount an individual has drunk, the percentage of alcohol in the wine and the timespan that the consumption took place, the amount of food eaten and whether an individual has taken other prescription, over-the-counter or street drugs, among other factors. Drinking enough to cause a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.03%-0.12% typically causes an overall improvement in mood and possible euphoria, increased self-confidence and sociability, decreased anxiety, a flushed, red appearance in the face and impaired judgment and fine muscle coordination. A BAC of 0.09% to 0.25% causes lethargy, sedation, balance problems and blurred vision. A BAC from 0.18% to 0.30% causes profound confusion, impaired speech (e.g. slurred speech), staggering, dizziness and vomiting. A BAC from 0.25% to 0.40% causes stupor, unconsciousness, anterograde amnesia, vomiting, and death may occur due to inhalation of vomit (pulmonary aspiration) while unconscious and respiratory depression (potentially life-threatening). A BAC from 0.35% to 0.80% causes a coma (unconsciousness), life-threatening respiratory depression and possibly fatal alcohol poisoning. As with all alcoholic drinks, drinking while driving, operating an aircraft or heavy machinery increases the risk of an accident; many countries have penalties against drunk driving.
Saltiness is the taste of alkali metal ions such as sodium and potassium. It is found in almost every food in low to moderate proportions to enhance flavor, although to eat pure salt is regarded as highly unpleasant. There are many different types of salt, with each having a different degree of saltiness, including sea salt, fleur de sel, kosher salt, mined salt, and grey salt. Other than enhancing flavor, its significance is that the body needs and maintains a delicate electrolyte balance, which is the kidney's function. Salt may be iodized, meaning iodine has been added to it, a necessary nutrient that promotes thyroid function. Some canned foods, notably soups or packaged broths, tend to be high in salt as a means of preserving the food longer. Historically salt has long been used as a meat preservative as salt promotes water excretion. Similarly, dried foods also promote food safety.
Wines from other fruits, such as apples and berries, are usually named after the fruit from which they are produced combined with the word "wine" (for example, apple wine and elderberry wine) and are generically called fruit wine or country wine (not to be confused with the French term vin de pays). Other than the grape varieties traditionally used for wine-making, most fruits naturally lack either sufficient fermentable sugars, relatively low acidity, yeast nutrients needed to promote or maintain fermentation, or a combination of these three characteristics. This is probably one of the main reasons why wine derived from grapes has historically been more prevalent by far than other types, and why specific types of fruit wine have generally been confined to regions in which the fruits were native or introduced for other reasons.
In 2005, the population of the United States spent $496 billion on out-of-home dining. Expenditures by type of out-of-home dining were as follows: 40% in full-service restaurants, 37.2% in limited service restaurants (fast food), 6.6% in schools or colleges, 5.4% in bars and vending machines, 4.7% in hotels and motels, 4.0% in recreational places, and 2.2% in others, which includes military bases.[better source needed][relevant? – discuss]
In the pre-modern era, the sale of surplus food took place once a week when farmers took their wares on market day into the local village marketplace. Here food was sold to grocers for sale in their local shops for purchase by local consumers. With the onset of industrialization and the development of the food processing industry, a wider range of food could be sold and distributed in distant locations. Typically early grocery shops would be counter-based shops, in which purchasers told the shop-keeper what they wanted, so that the shop-keeper could get it for them.
The main active ingredient of wine is alcohol, and therefore, the health effects of alcohol apply to wine. A 2016 systematic review and meta-analysis found that moderate ethanol consumption brought no mortality benefit compared with lifetime abstention from ethanol consumption. A systematic analysis of data from the Global Burden of Disease study found that consumption of ethanol increases the risk of cancer and increases the risk of all-cause mortality, and that the level of ethanol consumption that minimizes disease is zero consumption. Some studies have concluded that drinking small quantities of alcohol (less than one drink in women and two in men) is associated with a decreased risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes mellitus, and early death. Drinking more than this amount actually increases the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, and stroke. Some of these studies lumped former ethanol drinkers and life-long abstainers into a single group of nondrinkers, hiding the health benefits of life-long abstention from ethanol. Risk is greater in younger people due to binge drinking which may result in violence or accidents. About 3.3 million deaths (5.9% of all deaths) are believed to be due to alcohol each year.
Texture plays a crucial role in the enjoyment of eating foods. Contrasts in textures, such as something crunchy in an otherwise smooth dish, may increase the appeal of eating it. Common examples include adding granola to yogurt, adding croutons to a salad or soup, and toasting bread to enhance its crunchiness for a smooth topping, such as jam or butter.
Hybridization is different from grafting. Most of the world's vineyards are planted with European V. vinifera vines that have been grafted onto North American species' rootstock, a common practice due to their resistance to phylloxera, a root louse that eventually kills the vine. In the late 19th century, most of Europe's vineyards (excluding some of the driest in the south) were devastated by the infestation, leading to widespread vine deaths and eventual replanting. Grafting is done in every wine-producing region in the world except in Argentina, the Canary Islands and Chile—the only places not yet exposed to the insect.
Foodborne illness, commonly called "food poisoning", is caused by bacteria, toxins, viruses, parasites, and prions. Roughly 7 million people die of food poisoning each year, with about 10 times as many suffering from a non-fatal version. The two most common factors leading to cases of bacterial foodborne illness are cross-contamination of ready-to-eat food from other uncooked foods and improper temperature control. Less commonly, acute adverse reactions can also occur if chemical contamination of food occurs, for example from improper storage, or use of non-food grade soaps and disinfectants. Food can also be adulterated by a very wide range of articles (known as "foreign bodies") during farming, manufacture, cooking, packaging, distribution, or sale. These foreign bodies can include pests or their droppings, hairs, cigarette butts, wood chips, and all manner of other contaminants. It is possible for certain types of food to become contaminated if stored or presented in an unsafe container, such as a ceramic pot with lead-based glaze.
While many foods can be eaten raw, many also undergo some form of preparation for reasons of safety, palatability, texture, or flavor. At the simplest level this may involve washing, cutting, trimming, or adding other foods or ingredients, such as spices. It may also involve mixing, heating or cooling, pressure cooking, fermentation, or combination with other food. In a home, most food preparation takes place in a kitchen. Some preparation is done to enhance the taste or aesthetic appeal; other preparation may help to preserve the food; others may be involved in cultural identity. A meal is made up of food which is prepared to be eaten at a specific time and place.
Many cultures hold some food preferences and some food taboos. Dietary choices can also define cultures and play a role in religion. For example, only kosher foods are permitted by Judaism, halal foods by Islam, and in Hinduism beef is restricted. In addition, the dietary choices of different countries or regions have different characteristics. This is highly related to a culture's cuisine.
Food aid can benefit people suffering from a shortage of food. It can be used to improve peoples' lives in the short term, so that a society can increase its standard of living to the point that food aid is no longer required. Conversely, badly managed food aid can create problems by disrupting local markets, depressing crop prices, and discouraging food production. Sometimes a cycle of food aid dependence can develop. Its provision, or threatened withdrawal, is sometimes used as a political tool to influence the policies of the destination country, a strategy known as food politics. Sometimes, food aid provisions will require certain types of food be purchased from certain sellers, and food aid can be misused to enhance the markets of donor countries. International efforts to distribute food to the neediest countries are often coordinated by the World Food Programme.
A rosé wine incorporates some of the color from the grape skins, but not enough to qualify it as a red wine. It may be the oldest known type of wine, as it is the most straightforward to make with the skin contact method. The pink color can range from a pale orange to a vivid near-purple, depending on the varietals used and wine-making techniques. There are three primary ways to produce rosé wine: skin contact (allowing dark grape skins to stain the wort), saignée (removing juice from the must early in fermentation and continuing fermentation of the juice separately), and blending (uncommon and discouraged in most wine growing regions). Rosé wines can be made still, semi-sparkling, or sparkling, with a wide range of sweetness levels from dry Provençal rosé to sweet White Zinfandels and blushes. Rosé wines are made from a wide variety of grapes all over the world.
Food products produced by animals include milk produced by mammary glands, which in many cultures is drunk or processed into dairy products (cheese, butter, etc.). In addition, birds and other animals lay eggs, which are often eaten, and bees produce honey, a reduced nectar from flowers, which is a popular sweetener in many cultures. Some cultures consume blood, sometimes in the form of blood sausage, as a thickener for sauces, or in a cured, salted form for times of food scarcity, and others use blood in stews such as jugged hare. | <urn:uuid:74079856-b607-4af7-98b6-314ad373444f> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.christycooks.com/food-near-me-vancouver-bc.html | 2019-07-21T12:36:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.953653 | 2,539 |

Why is a former professor endorsing policies that do not support education? Dave Brat previously taught economics at the small private Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia before he was elected to the House of Representative in the 7th Congressional district of Virginia in 2014. Mr. Brat just voted in favor of the tax change bill, but it does not support education.
A native of Michigan, he was the oldest of three sons of a physician and a social worker. Clearly, he was taught the value of education in his home as he, himself, pursued advanced degrees and then taught others. And yet, he voted for a plan that will make education harder on families in four important ways.
First, no longer will families be allowed to deduct student loan interest from their income. Why does Mr. Brat want to penalize people who want to further their education? Second, it also will no longer allow employer-funded postsecondary education to be exempt from taxes. So, if you got a great job that will pay your child’s college tuition you will have to start paying tax on that benefit. Why does Mr. Brat want to increase taxes on those families? Third, if your child goes on to graduate school, their taxes on tuition will go up 400 percent. Why is Mr. Brat discouraging people from getting advanced degrees like he himself has done? Fourth, and finally, schoolteachers who are allowed to deduct up to $250 for classroom supplies each year will have that small help eliminated. What a slap in the face to them. Why are we picking on teachers when there is a national teacher shortage?
Louisa County is only four percent of the district, so, Mr. Brat may not care what our opinion of him is. But here in Louisa County, we have a great school system! In comparisons to the 15 closest high schools, we were recently ranked at the top in math and English and tied in science and social studies. And of course our football team is winning!
We need an elected representative who will support the fantastic work our public school teachers and staff are doing, will help families to afford college for the kids who choose to go that route, and will allow the fewer to pursue graduate research that helps us all. Mr. Brat is not helping our future. Who is he helping? Louisa, we can do better.

It has been six months since my family returned to life in America and although it is increasingly becoming "normal," we are still not completely there. This is largely due to us now being considered third culture adults, in Andrea's case a fourth culture adult, where we identify with both or numerous cultures on certain levels. The past six months has been full of catching up with family and friends, mobilizing churches, preaching engagements, church planting cohort, traveling and living in multiple cities, graduating with two master degrees, and trying to figure out where it is exactly the Lord wants us next.
During these six months I have taken a lot of time to reflect on life in India, reverse culture shock, and the return to life in America. Below you will find some broad generalizations that have been true in my life and experience. The last six months have been very eye opening for me and have caused me to want to help others returning from overseas. If you fit that category then please contact me directly.
1. Most people mean well, but most of them just don't get it. You may ask, get what? The majority of people do not understand or care what we were doing overseas, how to engage us in conversation about life and ministry overseas, and most people do not know understand what it is that we are experiencing now that we have returned from overseas. There is a small percentage of people that do get it and those are usually ones that have also been sent out at some point in their life.
2. The American Church highly undervalues overseas ministry experience. This one did not really come so much as a shock, but more of a hard reality. I have more education than the majority of churches are looking for in a candidate and I have about the right amount of paid experience, but when many learn that this experience of church planting happened overseas it is like they write it off. One guy summed it up well, "It's as if these churches look at you like you have leprosy or something."
3. A hard reality is that many people you had relationships with in the past have simply moved on in your absence. This is not referring to all relationships, but there is a percentage of people that you assume you will return and pick back up with and it simply does not happen. When we were saying, "See you later," they were saying, "goodbye." In a sense we put life and our relationship on pause and they just let it be finished.
4. Everything you were once involved in has changed so quickly that you are not sure if you fit any longer. The American culture is a fast paced moving machine and that carries over into all spheres of life. It is difficult returning to the areas of life that you once were heavily involved only to feel like an outsider and to be uncertain if you even have a place to fit in any longer.
5. Making disciples and establishing the kingdom as it is in heaven seems to come secondary. One thing that I greatly miss about what we were doing overseas is that every decision we made revolved around the mission and purpose of being there. I believe that we are all to be missionaries so we should function the same way in the US, but I find that few people really do. Sure, they will volunteer some time occasionally, be faithful to attend a church gathering on Sunday, but it rarely goes deep. | <urn:uuid:ac88f734-2a68-4d62-b966-c125c5a7e4ac> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.matthewboyd.net/2014/06/5-observations-six-months-back-in-usa.html | 2019-07-21T12:48:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.985564 | 685 |

JANOS Premieres New Song “ZERO” on SoundCloud
- Swedish singer-songwriter Janos Bihari Andersson, aka JANOS has delivered a new song “ZERO” via SoundCloud.
The song is a fresh contemporary sound. He recorded the song on a small island outside of Oslo, featuring his soulful vocals with jangly guitars and glistening electronic synths.
“It’s not a vindictive song, it’s more like a ‘I do me and you do you’ type of thing”, JANOS said. “It’s about maximizing who you are and not listening to haters, fake friends and what society tells you to do”.
Janos started his music career with the band Bungalows Creek in Oslo, Norway. In 2015, he launched a solo project and released the debut EP "Janos in Between".
Since then, he has released several singles including "City Hearts Ocean Dreams", "in the winter" and "leave this town".

Diversity in Resentment and Liberation from Guilt
Padmasree Warrior, our Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President of Engineering, shared some thoughts earlier this month on women in technology at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Padma joined Google’s Marissa Mayer, Hunch’s Caterina Fake and CNET’s Lindsey Turrentine on this CNET sponsored panel. The takeaways are for both men and women:
Padma said that liberation from guilt is an important choice to make. Earlier in her career, she felt guilty at work about not being with her child but she also felt guilty when she had to miss customer meetings to be home with her child. Regardless of the decision, she learned not to be guilty about the decision.
In this day and age, you can be yourself at work. Caterina Fake commented that in the 80s, businesswomen adopted the “Sigourney Weaver” uniform of heels, suits with shoulder pads and speaking in a low voice. Now, you no longer need to conform to a single image to be taken seriously. Marissa had a great line: “you can wear ruffles… or you can be a jock”
Burnout was a meaty topic that Marissa Mayer introduced by saying that working long hours is not what causes burnout. Resentment is what causes burnout. She asks each of her employees to tell her what they need in order not to be resentful. For one employee it was not missing Tuesday night dinners with his college friends. For another, it wasn’t what Marissa assumed it was. It was not the 1am calls with Bangalore. Instead, it was missing her children’s soccer games and recitals.
Marissa said it’s the manager’s job to protect those important moments and she does. If the entire team is working Tuesday night, she’ll usher her young employee out the door. If someone asks Katie to stay another 5 minutes right before a recital, Marissa will intervene and send Katie on her way. Understanding that resentment is different for each person is key. Needs change over time, so it’s important to check in regularly.
At the end of the Q&A session, Susie Wee, VP and CTEO of Collaboration and Communication at Cisco, popped up with a question about technology and experience design. Have a listen to their responses (and the rest of the panel) in the video above. | <urn:uuid:4e0d59e4-1b58-4fe7-ab66-60deb1f16a17> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://blogs.cisco.com/diversity/diversity-in-resentment-and-liberation-from-guilt | 2019-07-21T13:53:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.968982 | 516 |
I am almost finished reading one of her books on the Sacrament of Confession called 'Forgive Us Our Trespasses.' The book is fantastic and is a great book to read before going to confession. She covers all of the theology of the Sacrament and how it fits into the spiritual life. You will earn of the seriousness of sin, how God views sin, how to prepare for Confession by examining your conscience how to make a good confession and how to live after making a good confession. The book clocks in at 103 pages so it can be read and digested in a minimal amount of time. The information in it however is priceless in helping you save your soul. If you have not gone to confession lately, do not put it off. Get this book, read it and then get yourself to the nearest Catholic Church. I look forward to reading more of her books, which I will post on in the near future.
From the website.
Mother Loyola's work on the subject of Confession is not merely groundbreaking, but seems to form one of the most crucial of her strengths, given that the Sacrament of Penance has always been the most avoidable and avoided of all; most Catholics express a distaste for it akin to torment. For her readers, however, such angst is inconceivable, as she does not merely help to remove all fear and discomfort associated with the Confessional; she also enkindles a deep sense of appreciation for the gift of the sacrament. This, in turn, fosters an eager anticipation of the grace it confers. Those who make use of Forgive us our Trespasses--whether children or adults--will find themselves seeking this healing Sacrament with regularity.
"Catholic literature, doctrinal and devotional, owes a great deal to Mother Mary Loyola. There is a certain wholesomeness, naturalness, geniality about her spirituality that at once wins a place in the Catholic heart for whatever she writes."

The pathophysiology of cytokines released by infiltrating white blood cells upon pancreatic beta cells is not fully understood. Early growth response gene-1 (Egr-1) expression is specifically and transiently up regulated in pancreatic beta cells in response to glucose. We hypothesized that interleukin-1 beta (IL-1▀) induction of nitric oxide alters glucose induced Egr-1 transcription levels. Egr-1 levels were assessed via western blot, nitric oxide was measured with a Griess Reagent kit and insulin levels via ELISA. Glucose induced both insulin and Egr-1 production in INS-1 cells. IL-1▀ dose dependently increased nitric oxide production over time and significantly attenuated glucose induced Egr-1 expression. Sodium nitroprusside dose dependently reduced glucose induced Egr-1 production. The data suggest a strong relationship between IL-1▀ induced nitric oxide production and the reduction of glucose stimulated Egr-1 production. The pathways altered by this cytokine could provide a better understanding of the pathophysiology leading to pancreatic beta cell death.

Trincheras was named for El Cerro de Trincheras, a nearby archaeological site. This site is also the namesake of a distinctive type of archaeological site found in the desert basins of the southwest United States and northwest Mexico. Remains of hillside terraces and walls reminded early explorers of trincheras, the Spanish term for entrenchments or fortifications. | <urn:uuid:3194d705-51d1-4250-ad1b-b67dcacddd5b> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trincheras | 2019-07-21T13:50:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.868595 | 223 |

Trump and Netanyahu Won’t Bury the Two-State Solution
Any agreement between the two leaders, no matter how close they are, will likely be less than revolutionary.
When Donald Trump meets Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week, it will, no doubt, be a love fest. Both men want to show that it is a new day in the U.S.-Israel relationship. If there were problems before, they’ll say, they were due to President Barack Obama and have now vanished.
The truth is more complex. While President Obama was genuinely committed to Israeli security, he had no problem airing America’s differences with the Israelis in public. In the early days of the administration, he felt distancing himself from Israel would show how different he was from George W. Bush — an objective necessary, in his eyes, to restore America’s battered image in Muslim-majority countries.
President Trump’s desire to demonstrate he is different from his predecessor on Israel is not unique. Since Israel’s emergence as a state, nearly every president has done likewise. Dwight Eisenhower wanted to show he was different from Harry Truman, who he felt should not have recognized the Jewish state over the opposition of his entire national security team. John F. Kennedy thought Eisenhower made a mess of the region and tilted too far away from Israel. Richard Nixon thought Lyndon Johnson was too close to Israel and that the 1967 war had cost the United States with the Arabs. Ronald Reagan felt Jimmy Carter failed to see Israel as a strategic asset. George H.W. Bush believed Reagan was too pro-Israeli and he needed to rebalance the relationship. Bill Clinton, meanwhile, was convinced Bush had been too tough on Israel and deliberately softened our opposition to Israeli settlements. George W. Bush felt Clinton was too preoccupied with the Arab-Israeli conflict and even dropped the phrase “peace process.”
Thus it continued under Obama, who, unlike Bush, deliberately showed “daylight” between the United States and Israel by being openly critical of Israeli policy on settlements and not stopping in Israel when he went to Saudi Arabia and Egypt in June 2009. He also took the unprecedented step of walking away from a presidential commitment by refusing to recognize the letter between Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, which effectively recognized Israeli settlement blocs in the West Bank — referred to euphemistically by Bush as “major population centers”— as part of Israel’s decision to withdraw from Gaza in 2005.
That letter may figure prominently in this week’s meeting between Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu. Even though Iran, the Islamic State, Syria, the Sunni states, and Russia will surely be discussed, both the White House and Netanyahu have now publicly said the two leaders will talk about settlements.
While neither leader may have originally had settlements on his mind, the Israeli right wing has put the issue on the agenda. In response to the forced evacuation of 40 families from Amona, a small settlement established on private Palestinian property, Naftali Bennett’s Jewish Home party pressed in recent weeks for legislation that would legalize all existing settler outposts — even giving Netanyahu an ultimatum not to block it lest he bring the government down. The Knesset adopted the “legalization law” after a heated debate while the prime minister was out of the country. Even if the new law is struck down by the Israeli Supreme Court, as is likely, the legislation is an unmistakable effort by Israeli right-wingers to extend Israeli civil law to the West Bank and effectively begin the process of annexing it.
Many like Bennett feel it is time to end any ambiguity about the future of the territory. They reject Netanyahu’s position of two states for two peoples and are convinced that a Palestinian state would pose a mortal threat to Israel. And they think that with Trump, who has designated an ambassador to Israel who opposes Palestinian statehood, they have a historic opportunity.
But their exuberance may cost them. They appear to misjudge the Trump administration’s interest in preserving the option of pursuing peace between the Israelis and Palestinians.
Even before the legislation was adopted, the Israeli government’s announcement of 5,500 new housing units in the West Bank led the White House to issue a statement: “While we don’t believe the existence of settlements is an impediment to peace, the construction of new settlements or the expansion of existing settlements beyond their current borders may not be helpful in achieving that goal.”
Having been President Bill Clinton’s peace negotiator, I can say this statement could have been issued by his White House. The point it makes is that while settlements don’t intrinsically make peace impossible, their expansion does make its pursuit more difficult.
That the administration felt the need to signal Israel that there was no blank check on settlements suggests that the president’s interest in peace, or desire to lower the profile of the issue, favors a deal limiting Israeli settlement activity. During George W. Bush’s administration, there were understandings on building “up” and not “out” — in other words, building within existing settlement blocs was less objectionable than construction that stretched into new areas. The aim was to have Israel absorb no additional territory for settlement construction, thereby allowing construction to be consistent with a two-state outcome.
President Trump seems to accept that logic, having told the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom: “There is limited remaining territory.… Every time you take land for a settlement, less territory remains. I’m not someone who believes that advancing settlements is good for peace.”
Here again, one can see the logic of the Bush-Sharon letter, which offers a basis for limits on settlements but also formally acknowledges that the final border between the two states is not going to be the 1949 armistice lines or the lines before the 1967 war.
There is a wide consensus within the Israeli body politic that the June 4, 1967, lines are not defensible and cannot become the border in any peace agreement. Moreover, going back to 2000, we developed with Israeli and Palestinian negotiators the concept of settlement blocs and territorial swaps to accommodate a significant number of Israeli settlers and compensate the Palestinians for modifying the border. With 75 percent of the Israeli settlers living on about 5 percent of the West Bank territory, this concept was designed to appeal to the mainstream of the settlement movement.
For Prime Minister Netanyahu, the Bush-Sharon letter could be used to hold back the right wing of his coalition and show the Israeli public he produced a number of strategic gains with the new president. Those gains include Trump’s adoption of positions that contractually contradict key provisions in U.N. Security Council Resolution 2234 on settlements, his acceptance that parts of the West Bank in any peace agreement would be absorbed into Israel, and an end to official U.S.-Israeli disagreements on settlements, removing one of the historic irritants in the relationship.
There is one last irony to the focus on settlements in the meeting between Netanyahu and Trump. By forcing the issue prematurely, Israel’s rightist parties may produce the opposite of what they intended — a deal between the Israeli and American leaders that limits construction to the settlement blocs, permitting the Trump administration to claim it changed policy from Obama but also preserving the possibility of two states.

At the end of 2017, Full Story Media got involved in the crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for six-year-old Kyra Warrell to undergo life changing surgery. The campaign raised over £50,000 in less than two months. Here are some of the lessons learned.
Rima and Neil Warrell needed to raise £58,000 in 58 days for their daughter to have life changing surgery. Kyra had been born with a rare condition which the NHS couldn’t treat.
But Rima had refused to give up. She scoured the internet and found a surgeon in the US, who could help. However, in order to make the surgery affordable, the operation had to be performed in Israel in February 2018.
The family raided all piggy banks and launched a campaign on Chuffed.org. When we met them they had just over £8,000. The clock was ticking…
Choose a dedicated campaigner
Someone has to take the lead in a crowdfunding campaign, and this was Rima Warrell. She was articulate and knowledgeable; able to confidently talk to the press, potential donors and backers. But, most importantly, she was available and responsive. Campaigning is a test of resolve and dedication – there are no breaks, you simply have to keep going.
Get your ducks in a row
Crowdfunding is a sales and marketing exercise. Slick campaigns are months in the making. Slogans are written, plans are drawn and investors are courted long before the campaign is published online. None of that was true for @StepWithKyra. However, the Warrells rallied friends, family, the local community, media and their MP to the cause and played a serious game of catch-up.
Create a compelling narrative
This was where Full Story came in. We created a press release: Brighton Mum vows to fight to save her daughter’s leg. This was sent across the media and gained traction in the local and national media and, most crucially, the Israeli press.
A good press release is a story – a human story. We told of the family’s struggle and the hopes of a little girl. There were a lot of quotes from Rima, explaining their plight. Also, it was filled with key facts – every fact is a potential angle for a journalist to take.
You can’t run a media campaign without pictures. Thankfully, we had a very cute, six-year-old girl, and a photogenic Mum. “Get a photoshoot”, we advised. A photographer friend with a good camera was found and soon the faces of Kyra and Mum Rima were all over the place. Kyra was spread across the front page of the Brighton Argus.
The viral effect
A good story travels. The local media took the story first, but then it took off in the Jewish and Israeli media. Kyra Warrell was featured in the Jerusalem Post. Soon, donations came flooding in from the global Jewish community.
Keep the story going
Once a story is out there, it takes on a life of its own. Those following it and those involved will require constant updates on developments. Social media is very useful in this respect. Ensure your chosen channels are filled with key information and kept up to date. You’ll gain supporters from unexpected quarters. When someone supports you, make sure they feel the love.
Kyra’s campaign raised over £50,000 and she was able to have her surgery. She will require more operations in the future.

Most Japanese styling and modification trends have been copied the world over. While in most cases the Japanese still do it better than anyone else, the result is at least a little bit of familiarity when, as an Australian in Japan, you see a VIP car or a drift car or a van.
That’s not the case with dekotora.
Driving along looking for yet another Up Garage in Sendai we spotted these trucks sitting outside a real live dekotora shop.
The big one was cool, but it was this amazing little thing tucked away behind it that I was interested in.
I first saw dekotora (literally “decoration truck”) on that famous tanetane92 page in the early 2000s. I was instantly entranced. There’s just nothing more uniquely Japanese than these amazing trucks.
The modification trend caught on in Japan in the 1970s due to the popularity of a series of B-movies focusing on a group of outlaw truckers and their modified trucks. It’s been bubbling away as a subculture ever since, with the trucks getting more and more extreme. This one, while brilliantly executed, was actually quite tame. It’s not unusual to see literally thousands of lights covering the cab of a full-build dekotora. Check out the video at the bottom of this post for an example.
“Custom”. He ain’t kidding. Imagine this thing rolling up into your rear view mirror.
Airbrushing is a hallmark of dekotora. Owners tend to favour traditional-looking Japanese themes like dragons or “the great wave“. Such is the popularity of dekotora that there are actually artists who airbrush them as a full time job. This truck appeared to be a workshop demo, and as such had lights in the bed to illuminate the mural at night. It is worth mentioning, though, that this is probably in the minority. Lots of dekotora are actually daily driven, working trucks!
The front bumper is pretty small… Check out the freshly painted kitten mural in the background waiting for its owner to pick it up.
Look at the etching on the sides of the tray. Amazing workmanship and attention to detail. The tri-spoke wheel caps seemed to be a commonly used accessory – we saw these a few times on more “lowly” trucks.
This was probably pretty close to the highlight of the trip for me. I love these things. There’s literally no reason to do this to your truck other than the fact that you have a passion for it. None of it serves any purpose other than looking flashy and being individual. I absolutely respect the hell out of that. Form>Function!
While it would obviously be better for us Western philistines if the video below had subtitles, I think the images alone give a bit of an insight into the passion that drives these trucks. Worth a look. | <urn:uuid:d344b0e5-a1ac-4daa-99b0-6e30ce45eec5> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://garagedusty.com/unicorn-sighting-dekotora-in-sendai/ | 2019-07-21T12:46:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.964743 | 618 |

The Faculty in Residence program at the University of Oregon means that faculty members and their families live in the residence halls. You will see Debra Thompson (aka Dr. T) making breakfast and talking about politics with students on Sunday mornings at the community kitchen in Kalapuya Ilihi.
Having connections and meaningful conversations with faculty members is one of the keys to student engagement and success. The Faculty in Residence program is one more way to bring the college experience home to you at the UO.
While there are currently two faculty members in residence at the UO with a third planned when Bean Hall is renovated, there are also faculty fellows that support each residence hall on campus.

After the conception of research projects, it is fundamental for the researcher to have a foresight of how the research is going to be carried out. This and other information are communicated to supervisors and potential investors through a document referred to as Research Proposal.
The questions of how and when specific sections of the project will be completed are answered by a good Research Proposal. It also explores the potential result and impact of the project while providing an insight into the budget and other capital costs required for the project.
A lot of scholars do not have prior training in writing Research Proposals, hence, it becomes much of a task for them to produce an efficient proposal that will effectively elucidate and justify their idea and research concept.
To ease this problem for scholars, our team at illumania will help develop Research Proposals appropriate for any field of study. Proposals structured by our team will be tailored to fit your study site and available materials as stipulated in your request.
Our services are focused on achieving good results which will help in formulating and proffering excellent applicable solutions to research problems. | <urn:uuid:98b52fd8-e00b-4f15-b29c-a099204cda10> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://illumania.org/academic-research-proposal/ | 2019-07-21T13:38:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.953827 | 225 |
Brazil’s Congress concluded late Wednesday (17/12) night, without the Proposed Constitutional Amendment (PEC) 215 being voted on by the special commission that was to analyze it. With this, in accordance with the Rules of the House, the commission shall be disbanded and the proposal archived in an historic victory for defenders of the environment, Indigenous and traditional peoples.
With the support of the agribusiness bloc in the House, the PEC intended to transfer from the Executive to the Legislature the prerogative to formalize Indigenous Lands, Units of Conservation (UCs) and Quilombola Territories. If approved, it would mean, in practice, the definitive paralysis of the processes of making these protected areas official, among other retrogressions to socioenvironmental rights.
The last two weeks have been particularly tense for opponents of the proposal, when parliamentary supporters of agribusiness (ruralistas) and socioenvironmentalists engaged in a battle of regimental maneuvers over the legislative procedures applied to it. On Tuesday (16/12), access to the doors of Congress was restricted. A large police contingent was mobilized under the order of the president of the House, Henrique Eduardo Alves (PMDB / RN), to prevent the entry of protesters. Indigenous peoples protesting the PEC were repressed and six of them were arrested.
The vice president of the special commission, member of the ruralist caucus Nilson Leitão (PSDB-MT), conceded defeat on the floor of the House, despite the dominance of the agribusiness caucus. “We could not finish the year without minimally debating the PEC. We were defeated in a cowardly way. The chairman of the commission, Afonso Florence [PT-BA], held us up throughout the morning and came here surreptitiously and closed the meeting”, the representative said resignedly.
For most of the morning, conducting a contentious meeting of the commission, Florence patiently rejected, one by one, the various points of order submitted by the few representatives opposed to the PEC. The PT (Workers Party) representative, however, won time and angered the agribusiness bloc. Shortly before midday, when the lights went out in the Congress, he suspended the session. Members had to go to the House floor to monitor the voting on the day’s agenda.
The expectation of the ruralistas was to read and vote on the revised bill of Representative Osmar Serraglio (PMDB-PR) so that having completed the voting in the full House, the meeting could be resumed. With the prolonged voting on the complexities in the plenary session, Florence addressed the chair, was allowed to speak, and called for the closure of the meeting of the commission there from the floor, under protest from Nilson Leitão. In the corridors of the House, the expectation was that the agribusiness caucus would attempt a new maneuver to conduct a new meeting of the commission. They continued pressuring Alves and Florence to go back and try to vote on the PEC report until late into the night, but, with the Congress already substantially emptied, were not successful.
They need to address the revised bill from Serraglio no later than the following day. In general, parliamentarians leave Brasilia to return to their states at the latest by Thursday at lunchtime. The parliamentary recess is expected to begin this coming Monday, Dec 22, 2012.
Outside of the Congress, a group of more than 50 Indians spent the day in protest against the PEC, singing and dancing, prevented from entering the building by a large contingent of police. There were no incidents at any time.
“This was really the victory of 2014, at a time when we saw no possibility of winning, given the votes and maneuvers by the ruralistas”, this said in recognition of the outcome by Sonia Guajajara, executive coordinator of the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB). She stressed the importance of unity of parliamentary allies, indigenous organizations, indigenous advocacy groups and environmentalists in the fight against the PEC.
Archiving of the PEC
“Article 105 of the House Rules of Procedure stipulates that bills must be archived at the end of the legislative term if not approved by all the committees through which they must be processed”, explains Maurice Guetta, lawyer for the ISA (Socioenvironmental Institute).
He points out, however, that the agribusiness bloc can still attempt a regulations maneuver ordering that the PEC not be archived this year, or that it be reopened, at the start of the next session of the legislature. Guetta predicts that they will continue to try to pass proposals that oppose legislation addressing the environment and indigenous and traditional peoples’ rights.

High school fields in SDG being used for soccer this spring catch a break on Tuesday.
There’s a day off for soccer, and the timing is pretty good, with rain in the forecast for much of the day.
The season got off to a late start this year because of wet weather, and there had been concern that all of the regular season action being packed into a two-week span would make a mess of the fields.
But, so far, pretty good.
“They’re holding up all right,” league convener Jack Chisholm said on Monday afternoon. “Ours (at St. Joseph’s) is softer than most, but today is the (first regular season action on the Panthers’ field).”
St. Joseph’s second game Monday was a come-from-behind thriller that kept the Panthers unbeaten so far during this regular season fortnight. They fell behind 1-0 when La Citadelle’s Carson Martineau scored early in the second half, but the Panthers pressed for the equalizer and got it on a penalty shot marker from Braeden Levac with about eight minutes left.
A handful of minutes later, the Panthers took the lead, a beautiful redirection by Jae Jeon, off of a St. Joseph’s free kick.
“(La Citadelle’s goal) gave them the momentum,” Chisholm said. “(But) we figured we would eventually get (scoring chances) at some point.”
There are 161 regular season games to be played in two weeks, all over the region, and other than on the weekend, Tuesday is the only off-day for soccer, because many of the athletes will be in Ottawa for the SDG track and field meet.
On Monday at St. Joseph’s, the Panthers in their morning game battled North Dundas to a 1-1 draw. Cameron Brunet connected for St. Joseph’s, and Pete Xidias had the Devils marker.
Xidias scored twice and Matthew Roach had the shutout in a North Dundas 2-0 victory over La Citadelle.
In a girls’ contest at St. Joe’s, the Panthers romped past the Devils 8-0. Makayla Roberts and Sydney Seymour each scored twice, and singles were added by Chastity Derouchie, Kiana Hess, Alex Rae Peet and Carina Vincelli.
Alexia Bourget recorded the shutout.
La Citadelle was a 7-0 winner against North Dundas, and Jessica Grondin posted the shutout.
Jasmine Leroux scored a pair of goals, and singles were netted by Alexandra Aubin, Michaela Contant, Emilie Seguin, Samantha Gravely and Nicole Boileau.
Regular season play continues on Wednesday, with Char-Lan, Glengarry, Holy Trinity and La Citadelle all playing junior division boys and girls games at St. Joe’s.
Also Wednesday, in the senior division, St. Joe’s and Cornwall Collegiate are at Glengarry District High School in Alexandria.
The season wraps up on Friday, and A and AA playoff action is May 22 at the site of the first-place senior team for boys and girls. | <urn:uuid:1193a4d3-3109-471b-8080-5cfb99647534> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://leaderpost.com/sports/local-sports/st-josephs-panthers-win-an-sdg-soccer-thriller-over-patriotes/wcm/48c67d31-ce9b-49ae-b2d0-936075dde72b | 2019-07-21T13:39:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.946049 | 699 |
(July 9 – written by Nancy)
Well, today was the day we had to say goodbye to Canada, beautiful Victoria and our great Warmshowers hosts and head back to the US.
Yesterday we had another great day exploring the city. We visited Craigdarroch Castle, where one of the early wealthy Victorian families made their home – a beautiful house which is slowly being restored to the condition it was in when the family was at its peak of wealth in the late 1800s. Unfortunately the family’s ultimate fate was that of many wealthy families – family discord after the death of the patriarch, with the resulting breakup of the family fortune and disintegration of the family. Money doesn’t equal happiness, as they say…
We felt like we walked 10 miles yesterday – up to the castle, back down to the water, around the bay and then back up to the place we were staying. All fun though, and the sun was shining brightly so it was a great day for a walk. We stopped for fish tacos at Fisherman’s wharf, and made our way back into the city proper to find another coffee shop to test out. We were treated to a great lamb stew for dinner at John and Jane’s house, friends of our Warmshowers host. We went out for dinner with them on Friday night to a great restaurant, so we felt like friends by Saturday night and had a fun time talking politics, healthcare, socialism and all kinds on non-bike related things.
This morning our Warmshowers host Don made us homemade blueberry pancakes for breakfast – the perfect send-off for us. As Dave mentioned in an earlier blog entry, Don was standing in for Ruth and Gordon, the other residents of the house who are the Warmshowers members, and by all measures he was a great host. We really enjoyed our time in Victoria, and meeting Don and David, and John and Jane made us feel like it was more than just a pass-through visit.
We arrived at the ferry terminal about 9:30 and bought tickets for the 10:30 ferry to Port Angeles. There was another couple there on a tandem that we talked to a bit – they were from Denver and were planning to ride to Seattle, then do the STP (Seattle to Portland) ride and then ride from Portland to Missoula to complete a section of a cross country trip that they had done from Missoula to Florida earlier. Ferry photos follow.
The ferry ride was 90 minutes or so and very calm – no bands and no medicine was needed. I just went out on deck for a little bit to get some fresh air but really had not problems. When we docked in Port Angeles it felt a bit cold with the wind blowing from the west (just the direction we had to head!). We wandered town a bit, stopping at the Visitor’s Center, a Verizon store which was unfortunately closed on Sundays, and then a great little cafe in town for lunch before we headed out to the Elwha Dam RV Park, about 6 miles west of Port Angeles.
The RV park is very nice, with nice owners. We also found a “clubhouse” with a proper camp kitchen – that is a fridge, stove, kettle and place to wash our dishes. We are hoping that this is a USA or at least Washington standard and we’ll see more of this going forward. They also have a massive list of things “to do” on their camp map. It’s so nice to have nice hosts and a positive list of things to do, rather than the more familiar list of things to not do. Costs are about the same as in Canada but we no longer get the automatic 25% exchange rate discount.
We have mapped out about 7 days to get us to Portland, where we will have a break to spend some time with family before the next leg. We are looking forward to the ride around the Olympic Peninsula. It is supposed to be quite beautiful, and I think we have lucked out with the weather forecast as it seems to show no rain for the next week. I am hoping we might see some farm stands along the way – it’s always my goal when we come to the Pacific Northwest around this time of year to eat as many berries (of whatever type are available) as possible. So, I am hoping to have blue/red-stained fingers from here to Portland. And, I expect we will have some nice seafood to add to the mix as well…
Also, the Port Angeles Verizon store was closed on Sunday. So we have no mobile SIM and will be relying on RV WiFi for posts. I’m not sure how reliable they will be in coming days. | <urn:uuid:1a6e1dd0-1e33-4797-8f41-854ce6d16dd6> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://leavewithoutpay.com/2017/07/09/back-to-the-usa-victoria-bc-to-elwha-dam-washington-21k3032k/ | 2019-07-21T13:53:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.983322 | 977 |
SUSANNA HARISSON | SYDNEY MAP FOR SHANGRI-LA HOTEL AND RESORTS
December 20, 2018 Susanna Harrison

I’ve just arrived back in New Orleans for a second visit, after catching a serious case of the smittens for the city when I was here in March.
It’s one of those places that catches hold of people – I’ve lost count of the stories I’ve heard from people here, who arrived on holiday however many years back and never did manage to leave. It’s always “I came down here to party after college graduation…and never left,” or “I came down here 16 years ago… been here since.”
New Orleans is not a place that people gravitate to for logical reasons – it never seems to be about the job market or housing prices or an of the usual reasons people pick up and move their lives cross-country. At the risk of sounding completely corny, I’ll say it: there’s something almost mystical about the power this city holds over people.
I’m not the only Matador member who’s caught the New Orleans fever at one time or another. Here’s some of the best NOLA-related content on the network:
My Pulse co-editor Julie headed down this way in June, and turned out several great articles: Top 10 Reasons To Travel To New Orleans NOW (a must-read!), Top 6 Volunteer Experiences In New Orleans, and The Peace Corps For Cooks: Volunteer Travel With The Culinary Corps.
In Matador’s Traverse Magazine, Trips editor Tim Patterson interviewed Katherine Burgess, an urban planning student who got involved in the post-Katrina re-building: From Berlin To The Bayou.
Over at Brave New Traveler, Eric Daams tackled the touchy subject of ‘dark tourism’ – including the Hurricane Katrina tours on offer here.
Matador member Olivebeard has spent a lot of time in New Orleans since his parents relocated here. Check out his blogs: How The Grinch Gave Christmas Back, and Cajun-Tossing and Other Signs of Happiness.
Finally, I posted a few items from here myself: in Faulkner on New Orleans I shared the best description I’ve yet read of the city, and wrote about my impressions of voluntourism in the city in the blog post Seen & Heard. | <urn:uuid:834fcd24-ea6a-42e9-bb33-aed6c3d99242> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://matadornetwork.com/pulse/picks-of-the-week-new-orleans/ | 2019-07-21T12:39:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.945831 | 484 |
Pharrell Williams and pregnant wife Helen Lasichanh held hands as they left Kanye West's Saint Pablo LA Tour stop at The Forum. Pharrell and Helen already have a son together, named Rocket. They are expecting their second child in the next few weeks.
On October 12, 2013, Pharrell and Helen tied the knot, but Rocket Ayer Williams was born years earlier in November 2008. If you ever wondered why Rocket was named rocket, Pharrell explains, "In the same way the Indians named their children after a force or animal or element, we named him after a man-made machine that was meant to go up, meant to ascend." | <urn:uuid:338cfbe7-0d14-4d97-b6bd-e159aee58a5a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://mtonews.com/cute-couple-pharrell-williams-photod-pregnant-wife-wears-pregnancy-well | 2019-07-21T13:13:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.978151 | 133 |

On behalf of the tribe here at North, we would like to extend our gratitude to all of the beautiful faces that we saw in 2018.
As the year closes with our 20th month in business, we feel enormously grateful and blessed for the success that we have had. All due to you!
We are truly honored to have serviced such an amazing group of recurring and new guests. Each one of you have been loving and supportive to our salon. We all appreciate your continued support!
Thank you, thank you!
We can’t believe it and bet you can’t either. 2018 lasted about five minutes, but boy did it leave a mark! For some of us, maybe a couple of scars? Lessons learned, transformations began, and we see prosperity on the rise for 2019!
Before we throw 2018 to the wolves, let’s look back at North’s Top Ten Of 2018. Here are some of our favorite new discoveries, best trends, and monumentous events of 2018!
1. Year of Transformation, The Moons Told Us
There were more lunar events, including new moons, blue moons, super moons and eclipses, in 2018 then in history showing intense transformations and rebirths for many. Did you experience major events and changes this year? 2019 is your year to embrace the education and lessons, however painful or uncomfortable, and use it to move forward and progress. Always remember…if you’re not uncomfortable, you’re not growing.
[vc_single_image image=”1272″ img_size=”medium”]
2.The Dirty Cookie
This was one of our favorite new discoveries. These amazing cookie shot glasses were a Christmas gift to us by one of our fav clients, Kym B., who is always in the know. They come in multiple flavors and are local! (Location in Tustin). Pair them with your favorite bottle of liqueur (We love 1921 Crème Tequila or Baileys). They are the perfect hostess gift, so don’t be another guest holding a plant or bottle of wine. Make your mark and bring the party to your next event. You can also buy online at https://www.thedirtycookieoc.com/collections/.
Use promo code NORTH15, created just for us by our friends at The Dirty Cookie for a 15% off discount. Epic!
3. The 90’s Are Back!
While this fashion trend might have scared a few initially there were definitely some adorable looks coming out of it…like grunge Golden Goose Tennis Shoes, scrunchies with rabbit ears, Doc Martens and high-waisted jeans! Can’t get enough of our skinny Levi 501s! I buy mine one size up to make into the perfect fitting boyfriend jean. The high-waisted trend even dipped into work out pants. (I will never wear anything else again). We all can look skinny in leggings. Hooray!
[vc_single_image image=”1273″ img_size=”medium”]
[vc_single_image image=”1275″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”right”]
4. Hair Accessories Galor
Pairing a neckerchief or boho barrette with your pony or half upstyle turns your bad hair day into a definite DO! Dress up any t-shirt and jeans day with a pony scarf to look like you truly have your life together. Ha!
5. CBD Is On Everyone’s Shelves
And we mean everyone. Even Whole Foods now carries CBD products. CBD is popping up in every industry not just medicinal. Some cosmetic companies are now including CBD in some of their anti-aging products. CBD products purport to help minimize pain, anxiety, and arthritis. This widespread embrace has definitely changed most of America. Suddenly people who have never touched a drink or the green leaf in their lives are buying CBD Products to help with their ailments. We have to say, we don’t hate it.
6. Saphira Hair Care
Saphira Hair Products were introduced to us this year, and Wow! Did we embrace them with open arms. The products, based on 26 active healing minerals from the Dead Sea, not only smell amazing but deliver on the healing, softening, and protection that they claim.
We also love the company! Saphira Greenberg and her husband, both active in female empowerment, inspired by Boston organization Strong Women, Strong Girls, adapted the organization to Israel. In searching for financing for their organization the idea of Saphira Hair Care, that can make women feel amazing inside and out was born. Saphira is a perfect partner for us at North Salon…natural, supporting female empowerment and it delivers.
Done and done!
7. I’m A Survivor, I’m Not Gon Give Up, I’m Not Gon Stop, I’m Gon Work Harder!
2018 was the year of the Woman! Women are rising. Protesting, marching, organizing and building power.
More than 100 women were elected to the House, easily breaking a record (they included two Native Americans, the first muslim women elected to Congress, and immigrants and children of immigrants).
Just days after a gunman opened fire at her school and killed 17 of her peers, Florida high school senior Emma Gonzalez used her voice to call national attention to gun law reform. She, along with several of her classmates, have held gun control rallies in their Florida community and called on government officials to act now to prevent future mass shootings from taking place.
And this celebration of women’s achievements is starting younger…To celebrate International Women’s Day, Mattel is releasing “Shero” line of Barbie dolls that includes female role models like Amelia Earhart, ballerina Misty Copeland, Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad and gymnast Gabby Douglas.
Go girls! #GirlPower

8. We’re Not Insane! Thank Goodness!
9. Olaplex 4 and 5
Olaplex has become liquid gold in the salon industry, offering Olaplex 1 and 2 Professional products and the at-home Olaplex 3 bond building treatment for clients. This year, the beloved company launched Olaplex 4 and 5 Shampoo and Conditioner.

10. The Royal Wedding
Changes they are coming! Can’t wait to see what 2019 will bring.
[vc_single_image image=”1277″ img_size=”medium-large” alignment=”center”]
North Salon has so many exciting additions and events on the horizon for 2019. Here are just a few of what you can look forward to.
North Shop Is Going Live
Not only that, but you will have the option to ship or pick up in store, including curbside pickup. Can’t find parking? Don’t worry, pull up in front of North Salon and one of our team members will run your purchase to your car.

[vc_single_image image=”1261″ img_size=”medium”]
Braid Class for Parents
Other than the blast that we and our visitors had at Corona Del Mar’s Annual 2018 Christmas Walk, the key take away for us was moms and dads struggle with doing their daughters braids, ponytails, and buns.
We are answering your prayers this year by hosting two events in early spring.
Mommy Braid Class and Daddy Styling Class
We decided the split Mommys and Daddys up to adapt classes to specific challenges, needs and refreshments. Think Champagne vs Beer. Ha!
Look for our event dates in February’s newsletter.
Check out Advanced Education coming to North coming up next!

North Academy 2019

It is our commitment to you, our guests, to ensure that your limited time is free for anything and everything other than your hair. We will do that for you!
Since we opened our doors 20 months ago, we have strived to be the top salon in Southern California when it comes to ongoing and Advanced Education. This has not only benefited our guests, but it has made us one of the most sought out salons for top hair stylists.
Every Wednesday, North closes half of its space to conduct ongoing education for their Apprentices and Stylists. Classes in everything from haircutting, hair color, balayage and extensions are attended by our staff every week. We offer services at discounted prices, known as Academy services, to guests that are unable to afford our salon services otherwise. You know you are getting services by Apprentices (already graduated and licensed from a Cosmetology Institution) that have undergone ongoing advanced training at North.
In commitment to advanced education, North Salon has opened its space to host color, cut and styling classes by world-renowned Artists to stylists outside of North. Due to high demand, we opened the North Academy for Advanced Education in 2018 where we continue to host outside Artists, but our stylists now also offer education to the public.
[vc_single_image image=”1278″ img_size=”medium”]
2019 will be even more exciting. North Academy has classes slotted by amazing artists from around the world, including Stephanie Brinkhoff, up style guru with over 2 million Pinterest followers and known for looks you have often seen.
Adam Ciaccia, a hairstylist from Melbourne, Australia, specializing in advanced cutting techniques. We are so excited to be hosting them and so many more.

The only good thing about tropical storm “Nisha”, that lashed northern Sri Lanka in the last week of November, was that it brought a lull to the fierce fighting between Tamil separatist rebels and the Sri Lankan army. During the week that followed little fighting was reported and Nisha seemed to have achieved what the international community failed to do — bring about a break in the bloody hostilities. But the respite in the fighting was all too brief. As Nisha waned the bullets and the artillery shells resumed and the ministry indicated that troops were gathering around Kilinochchi. | <urn:uuid:7093f438-a947-49c9-aba0-7e9ccf4f50b1> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://pearlaction.org/2008/12/05/sri-lanka-no-calm-after-the-storm/ | 2019-07-21T13:42:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.975936 | 122 |

Short Stories Inspire Chapter Books!
Books of short stories can motivate kids to read! Especially those kids who don't like reading! Short stories help kids feel more successful as they can finish a short story quickly! And they're perfect for reluctant readers!
Just like adults, kids have their own taste and they'll all have different taste in genres. The trick is to get kids hooked on a book or series that they like! Children need to explore different genres to find out which one they like the best. After they love one genre they will usually want to venture out and try other ones, but short stories are a great way to get a child to start reading!
Baseball in April by Gary Soto: The Mexican American author Gary Soto draws on his own experience of growing up in California’s Central Valley in this finely crafted collection of eleven short stories that reveal big themes in the small events of daily life. Crooked teeth, ponytailed girls, embarrassing grandfathers, imposter Barbies, annoying brothers, Little League tryouts, and karate lessons weave the colorful fabric of Soto’s world. The smart, tough, vulnerable kids in these stories are Latino, but their dreams and desires belong to all of us.
Flying Lessons and other stories by Ellen Oh: This is a story collection that is as humorous as it is heartfelt. This impressive group of authors has earned among them every major award in children’s publishing and popularity as New York Times bestsellers. From these distinguished authors come ten distinct and vibrant stories.
Five-Minute Mini-Mysteries by Stan Smith: Detective Stanwick is back! And you are about to be challenged by 30 exciting mysteries.Each one takes only about five minutes to read. Every puzzle combines features of the traditional whodunit (physical clues, red herrings, means, motive, opportunity, time sequences) with logic puzzles (true-false statements, matching suspects with occupations, even a little math).
Jimmy the Giraffe by Uncle Amon: is the tallest animal in the jungle. Along with his best friend, Jayne the jaguar; they find lots of fun adventures to go on! This is an excellent read for beginning and early readers. Each story is easy to read and exciting. Cute and bright illustrations for younger readers and a free coloring book.

Spacewatch - great red spot on jupiter leaves hurricane irene in the shade
Distance travelled ~ 606'376'800
As Hurricane Irene gathers strength it reminds me of the hurricane that has been raging on Jupiter for at least the last 350 years. Called rather imaginatively, the Great Red Spot (GRS) it was first observed in the 17th Century by Giovanni Cassini through the recently invented called the telescope. Its not just its longevity that brings it whirling into the record books though, its size is also impressive, measuring three times as big as the Earth, compare that to Irene which is about 400km in diameter and you realise quite how big a storm it is.
As Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter in 1979, it captured this photo of the Great Red Spot. Credit/Nasa
Jupiter, unlike Earth, is a planet made up almost entirely of gas with a fluid core but when we look at it through telescopes, its the tops of the dense atmosphere that we can see. Heating from the Sun and from internal sources, drives the convective activity in the atmosphere to produce the familiar high and low weather systems. Just like the Earth, its these high's and low's which effectively cause air to move and produce wind. Its here though that the similarities end. Simple observation from even modest telescopes will reveal strange belt structures in the atmosphere that seem symmetrical in both northern and southern hemispheres.
NASA/Freddy Willems, Amateur Astronomer, July 26 2011
In one of these belts, called the Southern Equatorial Belt, we can readily see the GRS which is an anticyclonic storm (a storm which rotates anti-clockwise) taking about 6 days to complete one revolution. Its elliptical shape seems to be due to the fast jet streams that neighbour it, blowing easterly on the south and westerly to the north. Infrared observations have shown that the temperature of the GRS is lower than that of the surrounding clouds suggesting a higher altitude, estimated to be towering over neighbouring jet streams by 8km. From such a monstrous storm you might expect astronomical wind speeds but surprisingly modest speeds of 430km per hour are measured, compared to Irene's more sedate maximum speeds of 160km per hour.
The colour of the spot isn't even stable, changing from pale pink to a deep red but what causes this colour remains a mystery. We do know that its affected by environmental factors though as the darker central region always appears slightly warmer than the paler, cooler surroundings. Its perhaps the presence of complex organic compounds such as red phosphorous that gives it its distinctive colour but for now, the GRS remains one of the beautiful yet enigmatic mysteries of the Solar System. | <urn:uuid:f6a278a1-8180-4e8e-8705-2e9f88649333> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/23degrees/2011/08/day_266_spacewatch_hurricane_i.html | 2019-07-21T13:31:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.958871 | 559 |

Inital Phase Two Action Plan
Bryn Mawr began writing its Phase 2 Neighborhood Action Plan in January 2005 and, thanks to the work of numerous neighbors, the plan was completed and approved by the NRP Policy Board and Minneapolis City Council in March 2006.
Less funding has been made available in Phase 2, compared with Phase I, both as intended and as a result of governmental budgeting shortfalls. At the time of Phase 1 Action Plan approval, Minneapolis NRP had allocated $270,080 to Bryn Mawr for Phase II programs. As a continued requirement, through legislative mandate, 70% of program dollars city-wide were required to be invested in housing programs.
The graph to the right shows the breakdown of the original Phase 2 NRP Action Plan that was approved in March 2006.
Revised Phase Two Action Plan
The BMNA was notified in early 2007 that Bryn Mawr had approximately $61,000 left over from its NRP Phase 1 Plan. The BMNA Board voted to roll these funds over into the Phase 2 Action Plan strategies. The budget increase these funds promised was short-lived, however, as NRP funding for Phase 2 was reduced for all neighborhoods in December 2007, due to budget shortfalls by the city and State of Minnesota. Consequently, Bryn Mawr’s total NRP funds were reduced further for Phase 2.
Given these impacts on Phase 1 funding, the BMNA Board asked the Bryn Mawr NRP Committee Chairs to make a formal recommendation on where to allocate the left-over Phase 1 funds in the new, smaller, Phase 2 budget. The following chart summarizes those recommendations, which were accepted by vote of the BMNA Board in January of 2008.
It is important to note that the strategies for the Phase 2 Action Plan were not modified; only the amount of funding was changed. It should also be noted that the funds Bryn Mawr allocated for Housing had already been spent by the time city finalized its budget recommendations for the NRP in January 2008.

How Neighborhood Input Was Gathered for the Phase 2 Action Plan
Quite a few meetings were held over a period of 18 months to gather neighborhood input for the Phase 2 Action Plan. The following links provide more information on how neighborhood input was gathered:
Focus Survey Results
The following links document the comments received from neighbors at the focus meeting events and at the Bryn Mawr NRP Planning Committee meetings:

The following links summarize the comments received from neighbors based on the specific issue and on the area in which residents live. This input directly influenced the strategies documented and approved for the Phase 2 Action Plan:
Crime and Safety
Traffic and Safety
Schools, Parks, Recreation and Community
Work to Date on Phase 2 Implementation
Work on executing the Phase 2 Action plan began in earnest in June 2006 and continues to this day! Just as in Phase 2, volunteers continue to step forward and serve on committees or work on projects to implement the Phase 2 NRP strategies. Some of the highlights of Phase 2 thus far include:
The BMNA Housing Committee met monthly from July through December 2006 to discuss housing issues in Bryn Mawr, and identify ways of executing on the Phase 1 Action Plan. The committee succeeded in rolling out the Bryn Mawr Home Improvement program in May of 2007. Just as in Phase 1, the Center for Energy and Environment (CEE) was selected as the program administrator for the Phase 2 Program. Approximately 21 Bryn Mawr households were awarded grants and/or no interest loans. Applicants were awarded funds based on their financial need and on the severity of the issues uncovered during the home inspection (e.g., homes with electrical code violations and leaking roofs were given priority over peeling paint). These projects, when completed, will not only improve the quality of life for the individual home owners who were awarded, but will also increase home values for everyone in Bryn Mawr.
The School Committee was formed in July of 2006 to address educational issues affecting Bryn Mawr residents. Since that time, the committee has met, as needed, to provide a useful forum where neighbors can raise education-related issues. The committee has met with a school board member to discuss Bryn Mawr needs, and has addressed several bussing issues, which affect school choice options available to neighborhood residents. Through research and discussion, the Schools Committee arrives at, and suggests, courses of action directed toward improving our community. The School Committee strives to keep community members alert and informed on school issues and activities that affect the community. The School Committee will also make recommendations to the BMNA Board regarding school issues.
The strategies for the Committee, as stated in the NRP Phase 2 Plan, include the following:
To increase cooperation between Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board and Minneapolis Public Schools
To increase the safety of schools and enhance the existing playground
To support Bryn Mawr Elementary and Anwatin Middle Schools and ECFE
To support Minneapolis Kids and Sports Arts program
To provide a framework to facilitate discussion about the educational choices offered to the families in the neighborhood.
To act as informed advisors to the BMNA on educational issues affecting the Bryn Mawr Neighborhood.
To help the BMNA Executive Board execute the NRP plan as it relates to schools.
Traffic & Transportation Committee
Work continued on implementing ways to calm traffic, improve pedestrian safety in Bryn Mawr and monitor transportation issues that impact the neighborhood. Members of the Traffic & Transportation Committee have met repeatedly with city and county officials to look for ways to work together and to ensure our voice is heard. The Committee has also submitted proposals to a variety of grants to obtain funds for improving pedestrian and bike access in Brym Mawr.
Key City/County-wide Trffic/Tansportation Issues
Some key city- or county-wide issues or projects that the Committee has monitored and offered recommendations on include the proposed Southwest Transit Way (LRT), the Minneapolis Freeway Study, the Bassetts Creek Valley Redevelopment Oversight Committee, and transportation issues around the new Twins Ballpark.
Key Neighborhood Traffic/Transportation Issues
Within the neighborhood, the Committee’s efforts are principally focused on calming traffic and improving pedestrian safety, specifically around I-394 and Penn Ave South.
Problematic Streets and Freeways
I-394 divides the neighborhood and limits the access that Bryn Mawr neighbors have to the Cedar Lake Trail. I-394 also brings high speed and heavy traffic to what is otherwise a very quiet neighborhood.
Penn Ave carries over 10,000 vehicles per day from I-394 to South Cedar Lake Rd and another 5,000 vehicles each day from South Cedar Lake Rd to Glenwood Ave. Trucks and cars entering the neighborhood on these streets are frequently observed traveling at speeds exceeding the posted speeds (30 mph).
Other problematic streets include West Chestnut Ave from Penn Ave to Xerxes Ave and Ewing Ave, from Franklin Ave to the Brownie Lake Bridge.
Penn Ave & Cedar Lake Rd intersection
In May 2007, the BMNA and Bryn Mawr NRP Traffic Committee asked the City to have the temporary stop signs permanently installed at the intersection of Penn Ave and South Cedar Lake Rd (replacing the traffic signal lights). The neighborhood was asked to voice their opinion (by phone or email to the City and BMNA) on whether the signs should be made permanent; the response was overwhelmingly in favor of making the stop signs permanent.
However, the BMNA believes that crosswalks and pedestrian scale lighting are still needed at this intersection, to reinforce the perception that this is a pedestrian zone.
The Traffic Committee believes that every street in Bryn Mawr should have a sidewalk, and yet, compared with other Minneapolis neighborhoods, Bryn Mawr has a dearth of sidewalks lining its streets. Here is the official map from the city showing where streets in Bryn Mawr lack a sidewalk on either one or both sides of the street.
Proposals were submitted to the City of Minneapolis and Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board for the Non-Motorized Transportation Pilot Program, a program designed to create “…a network of non-motorized transportation infrastructure facilities, including sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and pedestrian and bicycle trails, that connect directly with transit stations, schools, residences, businesses, recreation areas, and other community activity centers….” The Traffic and Transportation Committee sought funds specifically to install sidewalks along South Wayzata Blvd (i.e., the I-394 south frontage road) and West Chestnut Ave, from Penn to Xerxes. The Committee awaits the results of the City’s prioritization of these proposed pedestrian projects.
NRP funds were leveraged in Phase 2 to maintain the gardens throughout the neighborhood and the planters downtown that were originally created in Phase 1.
Moreover, a new garden was created at Upton and South Cedar Lake Road, fittingly called Upton Garden. Many neighbors volunteered their time and money to design the garden, purchase the trees and shrubs, and then did the hard work of planting the garden in the summer of 2007. NRP funds were used to pay for renting the excavation equipment and additional funds will be used to pay for future maintenance.
Greening the Urban Space
One idea currently being pursued is a plan to install prairie grass and other drought-tolerant plant species along the south side of the north I-394 frontage road, between Upton Ave and Theo Wirth Parkway. The goal is to replace the existing higher maintenance grasses and plants and thereby reduce the Park Board’s costs of maintaining this area.
A second idea currently being worked on is a potential partnership with the Park Board, Tree Trust and other organizations, to plant more trees in Bryn Mawr. The plan calls for a repopulation of the boulevards with appropriate trees, and encouragement/assistance to neighbors to plant appropriate trees on their own land. The Environment Committee believes that additional trees are needed to combat global warming and the loss of trees due to the ongoing (or anticipated) impact of Dutch Elm disease, Oak Wilt and the Emerald Ash borer problem. The Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board Commissioner Anita Tabb is in full support of both projects and is assisting in these efforts. | <urn:uuid:c3dc0b26-9a0b-4d3c-b29d-198413dbf7b2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.bmna.org/programs-projects/nrp/nrp-phase-2/ | 2019-07-21T13:52:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.961546 | 2,115 |
The 20 Best Ikea Hacks For Organizing Your Closet, Makeup, And The Rest Of Your Life In 2015
With the new year comes new resolutions, and naturally many of us put "Be more organized" near the top of the list. Having makeup brushes scattered all over every surface and tripping over piles of shoes in the hallway does not bode well for a productive, peaceful 2015.
So you've resolved to change your sloppy, disorganized ways, at least when it comes to makeup and clothes (unsorted mail can wait for 2016). That's great. But how to do that, exactly? It can seem overwhelming at first if you don't know where to start. The best thing you can do is remember that everything should have its own place.
If you can never find matching socks in the morning, if you keep losing your favorite jewelry, and if you've been keeping dozens of nail polish bottles on the kitchen table, you need an organization overhaul. That's right. This means a trip to Ikea. Whether you need to organize your underwear drawer or your makeup drawer (or both) Ikea has your back. Click through to see 20 life-saving organization tricks and ideas. | <urn:uuid:b536d97c-926a-4006-827c-e6c93e92bc30> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.bustle.com/articles/57208-the-20-best-ikea-hacks-for-organizing-your-closet-makeup-and-the-rest-of-your-life | 2019-07-21T12:53:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.951658 | 247 |
The DreamFactory Services Platform (DSP) can connect to any SQL database including MySQL, DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL. The database can be on the local server, a remote server, or in the cloud. The platform works with both new and existing databases. The Admin Console allows you to edit the data in any table on any connected database. There is also a metadata interface for creating and deleting tables and fields.
To create a new database service, first select the "Remote SQL DB" option from the menu in the "Services" section of the Admin Console. Enter a name for the service, the username and password, and then the connection string. After provisioning, the service shows up in the Live API, and is available to be called from the Client SDK as well. You can also add a "Remote SQL DB Schema" service. This allows tables and fields to be created and deleted on a remote database if necessary.
The username and password that you specify will govern all access to the remote database. For example, an administrator could connect to an existing database with read-only credentials. In this case, the REST API will reflect the read-only permissions. We also provide a feature called Lookup Keys that allows the DreamFactory users and roles to connect to the corresponding users and roles in a remote database. In that situation, the permissions for the REST API will mimic the permissions on the remote database.
Every DSP also has a local SQL database. This is where we store users, roles, and other information that the DSP needs to operate. The local SQL database is listed by default as the "Database" service. There is an additional service called "Schema" that provides a metadata interface to the local database. Go to the "Schema" section of the Admin Console to create the tables and fields that you will need for your application.
Connect to any SQL database
The master credentials for remote SQL databases are encrypted and stored on the DreamFactory platform. When a user comes in through single sign-on, they are granted access to any number of databases depending on their assigned role. The role specifies detailed access rights for each database table. In this manner, different roles can be granted secure access to any table on any connected database.
We also support record-level database permissions with Server-Side Filters. This feature provides "fine grained" control of the records inside a given table. For example, you might want a user to edit only records that they have created. Or you might want members of a sales team to edit accounts, but only in their region. You can partition or limit records by user, role, application or any field value.
At the client, our API provides an abstraction layer that hides the system specific differences between all of the various backend SQL databases. This allows an administrator to "swap out" a database without disrupting client applications. This is very helpful when moving from development to testing and on to production. In many cases, you can use the same client code for both SQL and NoSQL data sources as well.
Our SQL database interface supports filter strings. For example, you could get all records within a certain date range, or created by a certain user, or with a wildcard match on a certain string. The filters are carefully rewritten to prevent SQL injection errors or attacks. The total number of records returned can be limited, and you can also order the records by any field. Record paging is provided for very large responses. All of the standard SQL data types are supported, including text, double, integer, date, time, email, phone, and relationship.
The SQL service can also deliver an array of objects along with related objects in a sub-array. This is a very powerful feature for HTML5 applications because large database documents can be downloaded and used immediately without any additional processing as a native JSON object. Any changes made to the array can be committed back to the database with a single transaction. All parent-child relationships and many-to-many junction relationships are automatically updated. This capability provides a document oriented interface to any SQL database.

Michigan’s Charles Matthews discusses his return to the starting lineup in 74-53 win over Iowa in Big Ten tournament quarterfinals March 15, 2019. Nick Baumgardner, Freep
No. 10 Michigan Wolverines (27-5) vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers (21-12)
Tipoff: Approximately 3:30 p.m.
TV/radio: CBS; WWJ-AM (950), WTKA-AM (1050).
Last meeting: Michigan 69, Minnesota 60 on Feb. 21 in Minneapolis.
How they got here: Michigan defeated Iowa on Friday; Minnesota beat Penn State on Thursday and Purdue on Friday.
Sizing up Michigan: Maybe it was Iowa's poor defense. Maybe it was Michigan finding itself on offense again. Maybe both. But the Wolverines certainly played like the best version of themselves Friday night in a blowout win over Iowa in the quarterfinals. Michigan's offense, with a brief exception in the first half, didn't go through the brutal droughts that have plagued the team too often the past 10 games. The Wolverines had 20 assists on their first 22 made shots. It was exactly what Michigan needed after too many inconsistent nights recently. The Wolverines played loose. They got Charles Matthews back, which was a big help on defense. Michigan looked like itself Friday night, and that's a good start.
Sizing up Minnesota: The Gophers may be playing their best basketball of the season at the moment, paced by talented big man Jordan Murphy — who racked up 27 points, eight rebounds and four assists Friday night to lead an upset win over Purdue. Minnesota was hot offensively in the first half against the Boilermakers, shooting 63 percent. The Gophers haven’t been incredibly productive offensively throughout the season. Michigan held Minnesota to 57 and 60 points, respectively, in two wins earlier this season. Michigan beat the Gophers at the buzzer in Ann Arbor, and led by more than 20 in the second half before finishing with a nine-point win Feb. 21 in Minneapolis.
Bottom line: Michigan was very solid defensively in both meetings against Minnesota, limiting the Gophers to 18 first-half points in the second meeting. Matthews was terrific defensively in those games, and Jordan Poole had one of his better Big Ten regular-season performances in the last matchup. Offensively, Michigan was spotty in both meetings. Then again, Michigan’s offense has been spotty for stretches throughout the Big Ten regular season. Murphy is playing really well right now, but if a healthy Matthews is able to defend Amir Coffey again, Michigan should have an edge.
Matthews said he isn't 100 percent, but he played 25 minutes Friday night. If he's able to go 30-plus against Minnesota and can defend the way he did in the previous two meetings, then the Wolverines should have enough to slow down the Gophers like they did the first two times. Minnesota is playing well right now, though, so this is no easy matchup. As important: If Michigan gets the type of balanced offensive performance it had against Iowa, it could be a 10th consecutive win for the Wolverines at the Big Ten tournament.

Writer/director Jay Craven; Cast: Morgan Wolk, Jerry O'Connell, Cameron Scoggins, Nicole Shalhoub, Aurélia Thiérrée, Matt Salinger, Garret Lee Hicks, and Vermont actors Rusty DeWees, Allan Nicholls, Dan Levintritt, Ariel Zevon and Emmy-winner Gordon Clapp. Music composed by Judy Hyman and Jeff Claus of the Ithaca-based Horse Flies. Director Jay Craven will attend the screening and lead post-screening discussion. WETWARE tells a story of what happens when new technologies collide with human needs in a changing world precariously close to todays. Set in a time and place where there are tough and tedious jobs no one wants to do. People down on their luck volunteer for genetic modifications to gain the focus, stamina, and synthesized sense of well-being that makes them right for this work. With business booming, programmers at Galapagos Wetware up the stakes by producing high-end prototypes, Jack and Kay, for more sensitive jobs like space travel, counterterrorism, and deep cover espionage. Based on Craig Nova's 2003 novel Wetware, a poetic noir thriller. "I was captivated by Nova's emotionally stranded main characters," said Craven, "and the ways they navigate the cool and transactional world he vividly describes." Director Jay Craven has made ten narrative films, including five pictures based on stories by Howard Frank Mosher. His films have played festivals and special screenings including Sundance, SXSW, American Film Institute, Lincoln Center, The Smithsonian, the Cinematheque Francaise, Cinemateca Nacional de Venezuela, and the Constitutional Court of Johannesburg. | <urn:uuid:8a697bff-7d7c-4404-ab3b-83bd88bf4779> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.grandsummitattitash.com/events/bethlehem/jay-cravens-wetware-4031801 | 2019-07-21T13:41:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.916492 | 408 |

2. Egg Whites – the natural way to blemish free skin
Blemishes visible alongside acne are another issue that needs to be tackled. Egg whites, the high protein substitutes come handy in fading these deep scars by absorbing excess sebum (oil) by actually drying the skin. However, a word of advice to complete this regime with a liberal application of a good moisturizer for a supple and well hydrated face.
3. Papayas – healthy to eat and easy to apply
Ripe papayas while serving as carotene rich fruits consumed for breakfast help are an excellent remedy for ache in their raw form.

Exfoliating the skin of dead cells, raw papaya helps in removing excess lipids, thereby making the face smooth and glowing.
4. Paste from orange peels

Rich in vitamin C, citric acid and astringent properties make this fruity concoction a healthy procedure for glowing skin, promoting growth of new facial cells.
5. Strawberries and Honey – the sweet and sour remedy
Another tantalizing recipe that appeals to the palate of people is the mixture of strawberries and honey. This effective mixture provides huge benefits in contrast to costly medical products. Strawberries loaded with salicylic acid are an ideal remedy to beat acne, which is also provided in the commercial remedies for treating acne. Honey apart from lending its anti-inflammatory benefits wages a tough fight against bacteria causing acne.
6. A banana peel can work wonders too
The energy rich banana has lots to offer to mankind even in the form of its non-eatable peel. Containing loads of lutein, the peel works as a great source as an antioxidant in addition to providing visible benefits of anti-inflammation. Free from soreness, stroking a banana peel on the affected area does magic!

5. All You Need To Know About Yacon Syrup And Its Benefits
The fast track life of today makes it impossible for anyone to focus on their health. In the race for success we hardly have time to look after our health. We are constantly on the move. And on the move, we usually have little time to spare and look after our food habits. We prefer the ready-to-eat food options that are quick to cook or the readily available and ubiquitous fast food. It saves us considerable amount of time. But at the same time we end up ingesting a lot of calories and cholesterol in our body. So the challenge for us is to either manage our daily routines in a way that we have time to cook fresh and healthy food that is good for our healthy and body, or we find a simple yet healthy way to lose those extra calories that we are ingesting day in and day out.
What is Yacon Syrup?
Well, this miraculous syrup is one brilliant option to counter this challenge of maintaining a healthy body. It is made of the Smallanthus sonchifolius plant – the Yacon plant, found on the Andes Mountains of Southern America (in Bolivia, Brazil, Peru etc). The syrup is extracted from the tuberous roots of the plant. The tuberous root of the Yacon plant is a soluble fibre. The syrup is obtained by distilling and evaporating the juice of the tuber. It tastes sweet, and some may say that the taste is similar to maple syrup. Others may compare its taste with caramel. This is extensively used as a sweetener and those who get hold of it completely substitute sugar with this syrup. This is because when consumed, most of it passes the body undigested. Also, half of it consists of FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides) which is also present in onions, ginger etc but not as much as it is present in Yacon. This miraculous syrup works in an exceptional way, but it should also be kept in mind that other necessary steps to stay healthy and fit like exercise, diet regulation etc are also necessary. For best results this syrup should be taken as a supplement and not a substitute.
Some important facts related to regular intake of Yacon
Yacon syrup has been widely acclaimed by both health professionals and customers. When you take Yacon syrup on a regular basis, it helps in suppressing your appetite. On the one hand, you are not eating as much as earlier. This means that your body has lesser calories to process and burn. The deficit is covered by burning the stored calorie reserves of your body. This subsequently leads to increased rate of metabolism and reduction in weight. Fat and carbohydrate stored in your body is now burned at a faster rate resulting in weight loss. Appetite suppression and increasing metabolic rate are two approaches which when undertaken simultaneously can help in significant positive results.
Taking this syrup on a daily basis also helps you to completely reboot your body. Apart from helping in proper digestion, it also helps in maintaining a healthy metabolic rate. The net result is a reconditioned system whereby after taking yacon for long period, your body gets used to rejecting excess calories and absorbing only those nutrients that it needs. This in turn helps in maintaining a healthy body over a long period.
There are some side-effects of taking this syrup in large quantities. Higher dosage may lead to flatulence and bloating. So, only recommended doses must be taken. One must always ensure that a product suits one’s body. If there are any unwanted side effects then one must immediately stop the intake of yacon syrup.
What are the benefits of taking Yacon Syrup?
- Yacon syrup, as discussed, should be taken as a supplement rather than as a substitute. There are many benefits of taking Yacon Syrup on a regular basis. Apart from weight reduction, the top benefits of taking yacon are as follows:
- High Fibre Content – For people who have digestion related problems such as indigestion, constipation, irregular and painful bowel movements etc, fibre is considered as an important dietary component. People usually are not mindful or aware of the amount of fibre they should consume in their diets. Fibre helps in easing out such troubles related to digestion. This syrup unlike other natural sweeteners has a lot of fibre. Yacon syrup can be of immense help in this regard, as adequate and regular consumption can help in relieving digestion related stress.
- Helps in lowering cholesterol levels as well as blood sugar levels – Yacon syrup is of immense help for diabetics. It has a potential use as a sweetener, and can be therefore used as an alternative for sugar. It does not have any side-effects. It can be used as a sweetener by diabetics in their daily tea or coffee. Therefore, it helps in reducing the level of glucose in the blood. Additionally, this syrup also has properties that help in lowering the cholesterol levels amongst its regular users.
- Increases bone density – In old age many people suffer from degenerative bone ailments such as arthritis, osteoporosis, scoliosis etc. These diseases are usually combated using a variety of calcium supplements or milk products. Yacon syrup is also helpful in this regard, and if taken regularly it can help in increasing the bone density. It helps in delaying the onset of such bone related ailments by fortification of the bones, particularly the spine.
- Improves the functioning of immune system – The functioning of the immune system is very important. The immune system acts as a first line of defense against any external infection or threat. Since we eat unhealthy most of the times, the effectiveness of the immune system may be compromised thereby making us vulnerable to infections. The syrup also helps in boosting our immune system. It helps in protecting our body to defend us against any diseases or infections.
- Increased energy levels – One of the added benefits of taking yacon syrup is that it provides energy to people who are low on energy during the day or are generally lethargic. | <urn:uuid:4b3e3631-d4dd-4be5-baec-fd7c4f52dc92> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.health-webs.com/2019/04/15/acne-the-literal-pain-on-the-face-how-to-deal-with-it/ | 2019-07-21T12:47:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.94506 | 2,475 |
By Melissa Johnson ‘18
Valentine’s Day is around the corner and love is in the air. And if love isn’t, hormones definitely are. It’s no secret that college is the time most of us assert our independence and start exploring intimate relationships. In fact, for many students, these college years is their first time becoming sexually active. However, most of us aren’t equipped with adequate sexual health and safety knowledge which may lead to poor health choices or increased risky sexual behavior.
This guide was created to remove some of the mystery and myths about sexual health, provide appropriate resources—on and off campus—and make sure students stay healthy and happy in college and beyond.
Sure, using a contraceptive sounds like common sense, but most college students are unaware of their birth control options outside of the male condom, “the pill,” and withdrawal or “pulling out.” There are lots of other ways to prevent pregnancy including the female condom, diaphragms, intrauterine devices, patches, and vaginal rings. The first step to having happy and healthy sexual relationships is finding out which form of birth control works for you.
While birth control is a great way to prevent pregnancy, keep in mind that most forms of birth control don’t protect against sexually transmitted infections or diseases (STI/Ds), including HIV. If you’re sexually active, you should get tested for STI/Ds at least once a year. Research shows that STI/Ds disproportionately affect young people. In fact, half of the estimated 20 million sexually transmitted infections/diseases each year occur in people under 25 years old.
Myths about STI/STDs
Myth 1: You can’t get STI/D from oral sex.
Though not all STI/Ds are transmitted through oral sex, some definitely can be. One example is herpes, which could be transmitted through a cold sore.
Myth 2: You will be able to tell if your partner has an STI/D.
Not necessarily. Since many infections do not cause a single symptom, your partner might not have any clue they have an STI/D either.
Myth 3: STI/Ds are only a problem for those with lots of sexual partners.
The truth is that it takes only one sexual encounter to contract an infection, and sometimes it is impossible to tell who has an STI/D and who does not. Even partners in long term relationships may pass on an infection they didn’t know about.
Myth 4: The withdrawal method is good protection against STI/Ds.
The withdrawal method isn’t good protection against anything, including STI/Ds, pregnancy or HIV. It simply doesn’t work.
So you’re sexually active, and you want to be tested. Where can you go? Lucky for us, Hiram College provides free STI/D testing at the Julia Health Center all year round. The Health Center is open Monday-Friday from 8:30am-5:00pm. You can make an appointment easily by calling 330.569.5418. Most importantly, health center encounters are treated with confidentiality.
If you’re not comfortable getting tested on campus, the following nearby facilities also offer STI/D testing, though they may require a fee.
- Portage County Health Department – 330.296.9919
- Townhall II – 330.678.3006
- Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio (Kent) – 330.678.8011
From the Expert: Victoria M. Beltran, MPH, CHES discusses college student sexual health
What do you see as the biggest problem in sexual health for college students today?
“I think most students want to know about sexual health but don’t quite know where to get the right information. There are a lot of reputable websites that may not come up first in their search, so they might be getting non-evidence based information. Also, a lot of students don’t know how to take care of their sexual health. As adults, many of them may be making healthcare decisions on their own for the first time, and unfortunately, parents don’t always teach their children the right questions to ask when seeing a healthcare provider.”
What are some steps students can take to protect their sexual health?
“First off, make an appointment with a healthcare provider. Even if you’re not having sex, they will check you out to make sure everything is ok. If you have any questions, they can help you out! Second, know what to ask. Ask anything and everything, it’s up to you to get the right information to make the right decisions about your body. Third, always use protection. Birth control is fantastic and the longer lasting, the better, but prescribed birth control doesn’t protect against sexually transmitted infections. Only barrier methods like male and female condoms do that. So either use condoms correctly and consistently, or use a combination of birth control and condoms to make sure you’re fully protected.”
What good habits can students implement right now to help ensure good sexual health throughout their life?
“I always advise students to know their bodies. If you don’t know yourself, how can you ever expect another person to know what makes you tick? Masturbation is not only extremely healthy and normal; it’s a stress-reliever too, which every college student obviously needs! Also, don’t be afraid of your healthcare provider. A lot of students fear going to the doctor because rectal exams are uncomfortable or because pap smears aren’t the most fun or their provider might judge them for their sexual activity. It’s better to get checked out and be uncomfortable for a few minutes than to be sick and unhealthy and not even know it. Also, you have the right to a provider whom you can trust. So if your provider doesn’t “get” you, find another one who will.” | <urn:uuid:662bc6f8-92c1-4fcf-b38f-5eed168b106f> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.hiram.edu/hiram-health-posts/safe-sex-its-condom-sense/ | 2019-07-21T13:17:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.949289 | 1,265 |

Investors of Tomorrow (IoT) is a federally accredited charity that aims to improve youth financial literacy in Canada. Since its founding in 2002, IoT has pursued its mandate to educate students through numerous programs. Through our efforts, we hope to help students become more financially responsible by teaching them how to invest early, often, and strategically.
- We are focused on helping educate university students. We believe that educated investors are responsible investors. Responsible Investing means investing in responsible companies, using responsible processes that adhere to responsible investing theory. These three components of Responsible Investing are what we research, synthesize, and teach to university students. Our nation benefits when students learn to practice Responsible Investing as adults.
- To provide tutorials that teach students the functions of the capital markets, basics of investing, how to manage their money, analyze companies, take calculated risks, and develop a keen eye for opportunity.
- Keep our members updated with world events through newsletters covering economic trends, recent news, and opinion pieces on relevant developments.
- Engage students in the financial markets through our rigorous annual competition, The InvestYoung Stock Pitch Competition.

Picasso Images – Rome
About 200 photographs outline the intimate portrait of Picasso. Up to February 20
The exhibition Picasso Images. The Artworks, the Artist, the Personage is held at Ara Pacis in Rome from October 13th, 2016 to February 20th, 2017.
As stated in the title, the exhibition outlines in an unprecedented way not only the career of an exceptional artist but also an intimate portrait of a man who has built its worldwide fame through the care of his image.
The artworks, the artist and the personage are the main themes of the collection of period photographs, graphic works, sculptures and paintings from the Musée National Picasso-Paris.
The three sections of the exhibition investigate the connections that the greatest artist of the 20th century established with photography: the first attempts to use this technology to discover the world, the fruitful artistic collaborations with avant-garde photographers, such as Brassaï and Dora Maar – who then became his partner.
The last section is dedicated to the artistic maturity of the Spanish artist. After the war, he started to promote himself on magazines, a strategy that helped him to became incredibly popular among the public.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – December 7, 2016
Statement on Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Denial of Forensic Audit for Voting Machines
The Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas today denied a full forensic analysis of voting machines and their software, as requested by the Stein campaign recount effort. Such an analysis is the only way to guarantee the accuracy of the election results in Philadelphia.
Below are statements from the Stein campaign recount effort on this decision. Available for comment: Ilann Maazel (below) and Prof. Candice Hoke (Co-Director of the Center for Cybersecurity & Privacy Protection, and Professor of Law, Cleveland State University).
Statement from Ilann Maazel, counsel at Emery Celli Brinckerhoff & Abady and lead counsel for the Jill Stein campaign recount effort in Pennsylvania:
“The court’s decision will deny voters the chance to know the truth about this election. The only way we’ll know if this was a secure and accurate election is if we’re able to do a full forensic analysis of these machines, which experts testify are easily hacked, have been hacked by college students in a lab setting, and are banned in California and other states. The federal courts will now have a chance to do right by the people of Pennsylvania and order such an analysis.”
Statement from Prof. Daniel Lopresti, Chair of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Lehigh University:
“Because Philadelphia’s voting machines do not keep a voter-verified paper record of each vote cast, we can’t be sure that these machines have accurately tallied the votes. That is why a full forensic analysis of the machines and their software is necessary.” | <urn:uuid:32f0cf05-265e-43af-ad8f-e30fc21f57fb> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.jill2016.com/denial_of_voting_machine_audit | 2019-07-21T13:37:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.926016 | 353 |
Ben Chilwell admits it was a source of some regret that his family could not be there in person to watch his full England debut.
However, the match was played in a curious behind closed doors atmosphere as fans were banned by UEFA for Croatia having a swastika on the pitch during a Euro 2016 qualifier against Italy.
Chilwell would have liked those closest to him to be there, but he was proud to make his first start nonetheless.
“It is a massive day for myself and my family, it was about having a good game, a good performance and doing well for the team,” Chilwell told Sky Sports.
“Of course, you would like your family to be here but I am sure they are all watching it on TV. It would have been nice to have them here. That is part and parcel of the game, we have to get on with it.
“It was strange, when you step out and sing the national anthem in an empty stadium. We were all aware it would be a weird environment."
Chilwell will now hope to claim a regular starting spot ahead of Luke Shaw and Danny Rose, but he knows that will not be easy.
“There are a lot of big characters in the changing room which I wanted to play with," he said.
“The competition for places is stiff but that is something you have to get used to in England, you will not have a free ride in any position. You have to play well for the clubs then the national team." | <urn:uuid:2d4014ae-50fc-49a5-8472-4e6ca8c38b33> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ben-chilwell-disappointed-family-could-2104800 | 2019-07-21T12:59:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.992647 | 317 |
Looking back on my twenties, I regret a lot of what I put my body through, whether it was stripping the vitamins from my bones by starving myself, bathing my brain in cortisol from dating narcissists, blowing out my adrenal glands from workaholism, undersleeping, or drinking a shocking amount of blueberry-vanilla coffee from 7-Eleven. By the time I got into my late twenties, I decided that maybe it was time to get my shit together because, let's face it, being crazy isn't cute in your 30s.
I was sick of being a mess and sick of being, well, sick. I had been living with a partially healed broken shoulder, chronic migraines, weird abdominal pains, and a sharp stabbing foot pain; my monthly colds had evolved into a couple bouts of pneumonia. Not wanting to perpetuate the stereotype that women are "weak" and "dramatic," I never thought to get any of these maladies treated. Also, doctors are expensive as hell, and I wasn't going to waste my money on silly health insurance. Back then, the money I saved went to more important things, like self-tanner and hair extensions.
I finally scraped together some self-esteem when I was 31, thanks to intense therapy for codependence. I started going to tons of doctors — basically anyone who took my health insurance. I went to an allergist, an optometrist, a rheumatologist, and even a couple of wack-job "healers," one of whom called himself Dr. Bob. If you glean nothing else from this essay, it's this: Do not go to any doctor who goes by his or her first name only. Unless, of course, it's Dr. Dre, because that would totally be worth the story.
After I saw all those docs and got a good shrink, I started to develop things like "boundaries" and "standards," two concepts about which I was oblivious in my twenties. I had a harrowing epiphany: there's such a thing as a doctor who is an asshole.
This may not be news to you, but for someone who hadn't been to doctors very much, a crappy doctor felt like an oxymoron, given that they supposedly dedicate their lives to helping people. But every doctor I was going to was dismissive, mansplain-y, too busy, and, frankly, seemed kind of bored. For example, I told a doctor about some stomach issues I was having, and he nonchalantly mumbled, "It's probably just cramps," as if I were his naggy wife trying to get him to talk about my feelings. After I told him I wasn't on my period, he said, "You probably have IBS." Turns out I did not have IBS; he was just full of BS.
When I finally made the time to see a neurologist about my recurring and debilitating migraines, I asked the doctor if I should get an MRI on my brain, and she rolled her eyes at me. And it wasn't even a subtle eye roll. It was one of those eye rolls that seem to reverberate all the way into someone's neck and cause their head to tilt, to the point where I think she should have gotten an MRI too. Apparently, it wasn't just male doctors who perceived my desire to heal as dramatic and annoying.
Just when I thought that was as poorly as a doctor could behave, I had an ER doc tell me to "Calm down" when my ear was hanging off my head after a dog bite (you may just have to read my book for this story). After saying "Calm down" — a command I thought I'd only ever hear from boyfriends I was arguing with — the doctor followed it up with, "You're not gonna die." What's worse is during this whole ordeal, he had the audacity to be wearing a coral-and-turquoise cuff bracelet, so in addition to dealing with a condescending tone and a dismissive hand gesture, I had the added confusion of having to process the complications of a doctor shopping at the same stores as Stevie Nicks. | <urn:uuid:e493caac-8977-4f16-b01f-4512d8bd85f1> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.lennyletter.com/story/whitney-cummings-how-i-learned-to-break-up-with-bad-doctors | 2019-07-21T14:08:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.990158 | 862 |
Unblock toilets, gutters speedily
Electoral wards of Wimbledon should get fast plumbing services: Residences of Wimbledon Park, Trinity, Abbey, Dundonald, Hillside, and Raynes Park are busy professionals or business people. Life is busy in Wimbledon, and people here look for professionally fulfilling lives. In other words, they mean a successful experience that brings them name and fame.
Success comes by itself with emergency plumbing: Humans are more or less the same and it is their habits that differentiate one from the other. Some are active while others may be lazy. In this way, humans differ. But everyone wants success, and this is possible only with hard work, smartness, and provision of amenities. When all these are combined pursuing success is easy.
Leave the task to a trusted plumber locally: Well, the question emerged here is lack of amenities can pull one backward irrespective of him being active. Every day we need to meet our nature calls, and if the toilets are flooded it will upset us, and we go panic to set right the blocks. People are busy to go out in the morning, and they encounter toilet flooding. They are busy and don’t want to waste their time doing DIY unblocking. At least one needs to be assured that while coming back in the evening the flooding problem should be rectified.
It is at this stage emergency local plumbing services come to picture. What you need is to delegate a plumbing task to a service provider who can come and do the service promptly. At London Gas Plumbers we respond your calls speedily to fix leaks in drain pipes or unblocking the toilet blocks.
The point of the matter here is you need a trusted partner to deal with plumbing and heating issues. London Gas Plumbers have 25 years of expertise in domestic and commercial plumbing, heating, and gas services.

January's Artist of the Month: Claudia Wood Rahm
Torrington >> The Register Citizen Artist of the Month program is starting out 2013 with the bright happy paintings of Warren artist Claudia Wood Rahm. Wood Rahm's art is bursting with color, simplicity, and has a childlike feel to it.
Wood Rahm's favorite aspect of painting is that it allows her to express herself. "I think it opens me in a way no other form of communciation can. I love the color and honesty in children's art. If there is a childlike aspect to my work, it is because I try to honestly show what I am feeling or want someone else to feel," explains Wood Rahm.
Wood Rahm retired in 2010 and returned to the painting that she had to set aside for work and family. "In retirement, I've been freed to develop those ideas on canvas and in color. I found out it is never too late to express what is inside," Wood Rahm explained. Her paintings contain creatures, shapes, figures, some abstract, some scenic. She usually creates from an idea she wants to express from her many sketchbooks or just something that she can't get out of her mind.
"Sometimes I just play with color and an idea comes. I am influenced by children's art, folk art, the Bible and the beauty in nature. I love organic shapes," explains Wood Rahm. "Color delights me."
The influence by children's art is readily apparent in her paintings The First Snow, Night School, Morning Stars Together. Many of her works combine all three of these influences - A Poem God Made, The Fullness of the Sea, and Psalm are good examples. Wood Rahm's works of childlike energy and color will be on display at the Register Citizen Newsroom Cafe for the month of January. The artist will host a reception on January 18 from 6 to 8 at the Newsroom Cafe, 59 Field Street, Torrington. The reception is open to the public. The Register Citizen Newsroom Cafe's Artist of the Month program in its two years has given many area artists exposure. That exposure is what draws many artists to the program, including Wood Rahm.
"As an emerging artist, it is not always easy to get exposure. Most commerical galleries want renowned artists that command big prices," said Wood Rahm.
This is Wood Rahm's sixth show. She has previously displayed her work at the Oliver Wolcott Library in Litchfield, the Warren Library, Artwell in Torrington, the Wasthington Art Association and at the Gallery on the Green in Canton. The artist's works are on sale and priced reasonably.

Week of March 19
by Skip Heitzig
Charles Spurgeon once spoke about an experiment that a Sunday School teacher did with his students. He pulled his watch from his pocket and said to one boy, "Now, I will give you this watch, John. Will you have it?" John thought about it, so he offered the watch to several of the others, and each just thought about it. One even said, "No, thank you, sir." Finally, one boy reached out, took the watch, and said, "Thank you, sir." When the class asked if the boy could keep the watch, the teacher said he could. "Oh!" said the one of the boys, "if I had known you meant it, I would have had it."
Spurgeon said he wouldn't repeat the teacher's experiment because of the possible expense, and he's probably right. He might have had to buy a dozen watches to hand out to everyone in the class!
But the message behind the experiment was clear. God offers the forgiveness of sins through His son, Jesus Christ. In order to have salvation, you have to reach out to receive it from the hand of God.
In a familiar Gospel story, the disciples criticized some parents for bringing their children to Jesus. This displeased Jesus, and He said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it" (Mark 10:14-15).
Jesus' object lesson was clear as well. Children will eagerly seek what they want and need. To receive from God, you have to be trusting like a child and take what is offered. But, as Spurgeon's illustration shows, even they have to believe it's a serious offer.
In the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins, God offered something much more valuable than a watch. And it cost Him far more than that as well. He knew the cost beforehand, but He did it anyway, out of love for you and me. He now offers salvation as a gift. It's in His hands, and all anyone has to do is to believe Him (John 1:12), and then reach out like a trusting, needy child, and take it.
Spurgeon ended his illustration with these words: "When the Lord uplifts His dear Son before a sinner, that sinner should take Him without hesitation. If you take Him, you have Him; and none can take Him from you. Out with your hand, man, and take Him at once!"
If you haven't, will you now?

Making Mock Examinations Real.
Giving the opportunity for students to take a practice or mock version of an examination before they take the real thing has huge benefits for everyone.
Mock exams are the most important pre-exam support any student can benefit from, from GCSE’s to A levels Mock Exam Marking provides an outstanding opportunity to enable students to excel in demonstrating their learning during an examination.
The key benefits of Mock Exam Marking is that our service provides educational institutions with the ability to provide final dry-run in real–life exam conditions.
Mock exams tell students which topics they have not mastered and encourage them to focus future learning on weak areas.
The important, practice tests tell students which topics they have already mastered. They can then direct their learning to other areas and spend minimal further time on the topics they already know.
Practice real-life exam condition testing can feed back to the instructional team the strengths and weaknesses of each student or candidate group dependant on the service required. It can tell which topics have been successfully learned and which areas need more work.
Key benefits of Mock Exam Marking include:
- Provides accuracy and fairness of exams, which can be impacted by some student’s fear or anxiety around the exam process and environment. Mock Exam Marking can reduce test fears for students by providing the real-life dry run.
- Gives learners a real-life experience of the exam which enables them to practice exam writing under pressure, writing to an exam standard assessed by an experienced external and neutral exam marker, a real-life result.
- Real-life mock exams provide teachers the best objective advice as to how to support each student before the final exam, an experienced and neutral view.
- Practice as you mean to play, mock exam marking is consistent with good practice and with assessment standards, providing meaningful practice.
- Fair and open mock exams level the playing field to all students and promotes the concept of a fair exam, open to and equal for all to fulfill their potential.

2017 Sandalford Margaret River Range Cabernet Merlot
Blue and black berries mix with bay leaves, rosemary and sweet olive flavours. A complex blend of sweet and savoury. The oak adds notes of cedar and spices - particularly fresh nutmeg and cinnamon. Silky smooth tannins give a luxurious texture on the palate. This is a rich blend that will continually open up and evolve in the glass.
With the cooler year, the grapes for this wine were machine harvested during the cool of night in mid-April, four weeks later than average. After crushing the must was inoculated with selected strains of yeast. The ferments were on skins for one - two weeks with pump overs used twice daily during this period to ensure optimum extraction of colour, flavour and tannins. Based on taste, the wine was then drained and pressed. After malolactic fermentation the wine was matured for 4 months on 20% new French oak, before blending and bottling.
Meet the maker
Growing up on a wheat and sheep farm is not your traditional start to a winemaking career. However, it was driving through the Swan Valley on the way to Perth that started my interest in grapes. They were always beautiful and green quite a contrast to the dry and dusty terrain from the farm. During my final year of studies at the University of Adelaide, I commenced working at Petaluma in the Adelaide Hills, and this seeded my love of Riesling. After 18 months, I decided to explore the world of wine and for the next several years was a flying winemaker, working alternate vintages in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. In the north, this took me to France (Languedoc, Cognac & a couple of days in Bordeaux) and many times to Oregon, USA. This is where my love of Pinot was born. Back in Australia, I also explored Margaret River, Geographe, Clare Valley, SA and Macedon Ranges, Vic. In January 2007, coming back to WA, I joined Sandalford as Winemaker and in December 2012, was offered the Senior Winemaker position. To talk about my winemaking philosophy, is to first understand the vineyards. My role is to let the grapes shine and ensure they reflect the vineyard site they're from. The fruit source for all of our wines, are paramount to their success, and I'm incredibly lucky to have one of the oldest vineyards in Margaret River to work with.
95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot

Blue and black berries mix with bay leaves, rosemary and sweet olive flavours. A complex blend of sweet and savoury. The oak adds notes of cedar and spices - particularly fresh nutmeg and cinnamon. Silky smooth tannins give a luxurious texture on the palate. This is a rich blend that will continually open up and evolve in the glass. Medium term cellaring will only add to the wine's complexity.
From the summer rainfall & river flooding in the Swan Valley, to the threat of not ripening any of the red grapes in Margaret River, the 2017 vintage will be remembered as one of the most nerve-racking and anxious seasons. It certainly beats all of the last 10 vintages I've seen at Sandalford. Overall, the whole growing season, from Spring through to Summer / Autumn was much cooler than average. There were no heat extremes this year. This delayed the ripening of all varieties by at least 3 -4 weeks compared to normal. At the start of April, all of the red grapes were still on the vine, several blocks still needing a good 4-5 weeks to fully ripen. With April normally the change in season, there were many hours spent watching the weather forecast, waiting for the rain to start. Unbelievably Mother Nature was on our side, April was one of the driest on record. Our latest season ever, with the last of the Cabernet being harvested in early May. The wines produced this season are elegant, showing more flavour complexity and concentration.

As part of our commitment to our international clients, we also provide global Immigration services in many cases. In this article, we will cover the Australian Same Sex Immigration options. Unlike the united States, Australia offers many benefits to same sex couples.
Australia now has two different partner visa subclasses: the spouse visa and prospective marriage (fiancée) visa. The spouse visa subclass is available to couples who are married and to couples who are in a de facto relationship. Couples who are in a de facto relationship include same sex partners. This change occurred in 2009.
Because of this change, same sex partners in a de facto relationship can enter and remain permanently in Australia. Of great note, U.S. immigration law does not afford similar rights to same sex partners of U.S. citizens and permanent residents immigrating to the U.S.
Overview Of De Facto Partner Visa
A de facto partner visa applicant must be sponsored (nominated) by his or her de facto partner who must be either an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen. The Partner Migration Booklet (hereinafter “Booklet”), which can be found on the Australian government website, www.immi.gov.au, defines de facto partner as a partner “… of another person (whether of the same sex or a different sex) if the person is in a de facto relationship with the other person.” The Booklet further widens the definition to cover people in a de facto relationship with another if:
• They are not in a married relationship;
• They are not related by family;
• They both must be 18 years or older at the time the application is made;
• They have a mutual commitment to a shared life to the exclusion of all others;
• The relationship between them is genuine and continuing;
• They live together or do not live separately and apart on a permanent basis; and
• The relationship has continued for the period of twelve months immediately preceding the date of application.
Applications can be lodged outside of Australia or within Australia. However, not all Australian consulates in the U.S. process the partner visa applications. There are some restrictions in place on an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen, i.e., how many times they can nominate a partner, and a time gap between the nominations.
There are certain restrictions as to the applicant’s health requirements. But the Minister of the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship has the power to waive the health requirements for the applicant so long as he or she determines that there will not be an undue financial burden on the Australian government and/or local community to provide the necessary healthcare for that particular applicant.
While it is unclear whether an applicant who is HIV-positive will face denial of his or her application for a partner visa, the Booklet states that, “A positive HIV or other test result will not necessarily lead to a visa being refused. However, your result(s) may be disclosed to the relevant Commonwealth and state or territory health agencies in Australia.” Id, p. 20. (Emphasis added by author.)
The sponsor must be willing to financially support the applicant for a period of two years, if the applicant will be unable to find employment in Australia during this period.
Upon the approval of the application for a partner visa, the applicant will receive the temporary (provisional) partner visa within 6 months after submitting his/her application. And after the lapse of two years, he or she will be granted a permanent partner visa.
If you are interested in applying for an Australian Partner visa or have further questions, you are welcome to send your inquiries to our office. | <urn:uuid:3350e132-59a7-4066-ae0c-d5db058660ac> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.visalawyerblog.com/global_immigration_australian/ | 2019-07-21T12:37:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527000.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721123414-20190721145414-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.936502 | 764 |

The Eastern Sea, Approaching Fairhaven Island, 27th of Aestus
The air began to frantically thunder as rifles cracked from all directions, releasing their projectiles and filling the air with a thick smoke.
“Julianos! Look left!” cried Titus, falling to his knees behind the starboard side deck’s railing, narrowly avoiding a metallic round which struck the hull behind him.
The furious giant, as well as several other marines of the vanguard jumped to attention and peered through the fog, spotting not only one, but two enemy airships suited for war closing in on both sides of the Tessonic.
“By the Maker, they’ll have us surrounded!” cried out an Ardrean marine, panicking amid the chaos.
“Don’t waver! We focus on the frigate at hand! Duck and volley just like we’ve practiced, marines!” cried Commander Despos, patrolling the starboard side of the Tessonic, sabre in hand.
Nodding to himself and those around him, Titus fell into position behind the railing and quickly began the process. Deep breath. Exhale. Preparation. Load powder into firearm. Check. Deep breath. Exhale. Load ammun-
His process was suddenly and violently interrupted as the marine adjacent to him let out a blood-curdling scream before collapsing onto the deck in front of him.
“We’ve no time to help the fallen! FIRE!” cried the hardened Ardrean commander of the elite aerial soldiers.
Load ammunition from belt. Check. Deep breath. Exhale. Load weapon…
The foreigner jumped suddenly to his feet, weapon at the ready as his neighbor fell back to cover behind the ship’s durable frame. Slightly peaking his eyes just above the railing, he spotted his target: the gruff-looking black-bearded one. The one that looked like a pirate from Invictian legend. Aim. Fire. As soon as the shot was fired, the young marine had fallen back to his position of safety. It almost looked as he had hit his mark, but perhaps it was simply optimistic imagination. Indeed, it had hardly been over a month since he had even learned to use the foreign Ardrean rifle.
The rhythmic dance of firing and covering with his neighbors had continued for a time, each neighbor alternating in opposite to his neighbor. The stench of powder dominated the air all around, and Titus’s eyes began to water from irritation. How many had fallen thus far? Four? Five? He couldn’t tell; his vision so obscured by the gray fog.
“d**n the Maker, where are those canoneer-“ Despos attempted.
The cannons aboard had at last been manned, propelling their shrapnel at the adjacent vessel. A horrible crunching sound deafened the marines as the iron ball struck the iron-sided ship, partially penetrating the exterior and sending splinters scattering into the sea below.
“W-why aren’t they firing their cannons at us, sir?” Pavos the marine called out to his superior.
Yes... why not? Interesting...
“Doesn’t matter,” the older veteran dismissed as he squinted at the vessel in the distance. “Keep up the fire, boy!”
The dance continued for some time; occasionally an Ardrean or allied belligerent would fall to the floor wailing, their agonized shrieks drowned out only by the fury of firearms and crash of cannons. This particular tactic couldn’t continue for too much longer, however. Something had to give.
A strange sound in the fray, before a sudden crunching sound digging into the railing behind the cowering marines. Titus dodged to his right as an audible snapping sound struck next to his left ear. He quickly turned to look, only to find the end claw of a grappling hook embedded well into the Tessonic’s frame.
“They’re boarding us! Prepare to repel!” Despos wailed, raising his standard sabre.
“Hope that fancy Invictian fence-work comes in handy today, Tito!” called out an obviously nervous Julianos. The brute still hadn’t got his name down yet, but it didn’t matter anymore. It was the moment of truth. He stood quickly to his feet, removing his sabre from its sheath and moving into a defensive pose next to his brothers. As the Aengmirians pulled, the foreign warship edged ever closer to the Tessonic. Some attempted to pull at the hooks as other continued to fire on the invaders in vain; both to little avail.
“Parry defensive formation! Form semi-circle!”
The marines did just that as the hated enemies arose from cover, leaping like lemurs from hell; falling from the overhead position above. Sword in hand, one descended upon Titus, who quickly moved his blade horizontally to deflect the harsh blow. Unexpectedly, the perception of time around him began to slow, and everything in the environment with the exception of his new sparring partner faded away. As the seconds became milliseconds, he studied everything he could about the man in front of him; his odd-colored uniform, his foreign features, and, most importantly, his technique.
More sword-wielding Aegnmirians descended upon the starboard side, but Titus was focused on dancing with the first sea-soldier to offend him. The Invictian attempted to jab and stab, but to no success. The enemy seemed to anticipate every move before. Perhaps the Aengmirians really knew quite well the Ardrean technique. It was a good thing that Titus knew the Invictian technique, however…
Dropping to his feet in a sudden crouch like position, he slid his hand down as his pant leg, quickly drawing from it his hidden dagger that he had practiced with so many times before. He took the accursed Red Blade of the Dead God and jabbed it right into the puzzled pirate’s gut. Taking the opportunity of the sudden shock to his advantage, he removed the razor, before quickly planting it again directly in the foreigner’s eye, producing the most horrible cry that the rogue had heard yet. Horrified, but pumped full of adrenaline, he removed the blade again, using it once more to ensure the unfortunate soldier’s death by a quick severing of the brain stem.
As his head began to spin less, sound and vision of the greater world around him seemed to return, and he quickly rushed to help his comrades around him. As the panic began to wear off somewhat, he turned to see Julianos the Slayer slinging his sword through the enemy as if cutting like a knife through butter. The beast seemed to be handling himself quite well except for the gash across his cheek, but not well enough…
“Look out, you stubborn oaf!” warned Titus, quickly maneuvering his sabre to deprive an approaching Aengmirian of his sword hand. “Never expose your flank like that!”
“Heh,” replied the northerner, killing the last victim in front of him. “We can’t all prance around as fancily as you!”
The melee continued for a time, before at last it seemed as if the balance of power had shifted in the defenders’ favor. Beginning to panic, the demoralized attackers wavered, looking for a possible escape. Good. Now was the time to push forward. Quite literally.
Aengmirians by the dozens began to be violently thrown overboard, either by their own action, or with the help of a marine. Titus watched as the wailing banshees crashed into the water below, unsure if the fall was fatal or not. Even so, weighed down by fatigue and heavy clothing, it was safe to say that they were finished.
The crew took a moment to catch their breaths, some warriors coughing violently due to the suffocating smoke. Titus did a quick survey around him. There had indeed been quite a few skyship marine casualties. The wounded and dying tossed around and bled onto the deck; puddles of sanguine blood began to flood all around the port side. The marines around him appeared to be covered in soot and marked with fear. But they had done it.
“Brothers!” cried out a wounded marine, a deep gash in his chest hindering him as he hobbled over to the defenders from the direction of the front of the airship. “Brothers… we couldn’t hold the port side! Commander Orlaval is dead! The bastards got through! AGH!” the dying crewman managed to spit out before collapsing into the accumulating blood puddle below him.
It was then that Titus’s Solisthine training activated in his mind, demanding that he take control of the desperate situation around him.
“Shit! We need to get to the bridge. Now!”
“What about Commander Despos?! You’re not our leader!” shouted out Amius the Invictian, his hands covered in enemy blood.
Despos! Where was the commander amidst this chaos? Titus, along with his comrades in arms, began to scan the battle scene around them. At last, he spotted the gray-haired head of the marines rolling in agony on deck, just feet away; concealed by a few other war dead next to him.
“Commander!” Pavos cried out as the skyship survivors looked on at their fallen leader, blood spurting from his mouth.
“The Commander is down! We have no time! If these bastards take the bridge, it’s all over! LET’S GO!” Titus ordered, collecting himself and leading the charge toward the helm. The others followed in suit... | <urn:uuid:f1413443-91da-4cec-bafe-42fd070c1b62> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://10000islands.proboards.com/thread/28998/tears-blood-fire?page=2 | 2019-07-22T20:57:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528220.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722201122-20190722223122-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.977626 | 2,125 |
There’s something very comforting about the flavours of apple and cinnamon. It’s even better when you get these flavours into a delicious warm coffee cake you can enjoy with a big glass of milk or coffee. This recipe was inspired by The Baking Chocolatess but I put a few spins on how I made mine.
I decided to make a few batches of this and dropped them off to friends and co-workers to get their feed back on it. As I expected, it was a huge success. The hardest part of this recipe is peeling and chopping the apples, although I do admit it creates its fair number of dishes. (so many the dirty dishes are the hardest part)
The Baking Chocolatess’ recipe includes a glaze drizzled over the cake, I honestly don’t believe you need it. It is so delicious just the way it is.
Apple Fritter Cake
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 tsp tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
2 cups apples, peeled and chopped finely
2 tbsp white sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
- Prepare your apples by peeling and chopping into fine chunks. Coat apples with white sugar and cinnamon.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×9 cake pan with non-stick spray.
- Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
- Using an upright stand mixer if you have one, combine the 2/3 cup white sugar and butter. Mix until well combined. Add in your eggs and mix until mixture is light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder.
- Turning your mixer on a low speed, alternately add in the flour and milk until batter is smooth.
- Place 3/4 of the batter in the bottom of the cake pan. Scatter 3/4 of the apples evenly across the batter and gently push the apples down into the batter. Sprinkle with 1/2 the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- Spoon the remaining batter overtop of the apples, as evenly as possible. Sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture on top.
- Bake in the oven for 50 minutes or until wooden skewer comes out clean from the centre of the cake. Allow the cake to cool before serving. | <urn:uuid:0097d250-162f-468e-815e-1ae328534870> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://365daysofeasyrecipes.com/24-apple-fritter-cake/ | 2019-07-22T21:08:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528220.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722201122-20190722223122-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.925961 | 531 |
Nigel Lythgoe has a knack for resuscitating pop culture tenets that seem on their death bed.
He was among the original executive producers of American Idol in 2002, the show credited with rescuing the flailing reality TV talent competition genre and spawning the spate of copycats that have invaded television since, The Voice and The X Factor among them. Three years later, at a time when dancing was hardly on the cultural radar, Lythgoe co-created So You Think You Can Dance. The Fox dance competition premiered in 2005 around the same time Dancing with the Stars debuted, and has since become a summer reality TV staple.
And now Lythgoe is one of the producers of the just-opened Broadway revival of the 1944 Leonard Bernstein, Betty Comden, and Adolph Green musical On the Town, which was showered with rave reviews from critics last week for its athletic dancing and aw-shucks slapstick performances. In a Great White Way overcrowded with big-budget musicals based on movies, jukebox shows, edgy envelope pushers, and A-list Hollywood celebrities struggling to hoof it on the chorus line, On the Town—the first full musical from the legendary creative team—is a reminder that they, truly, don’t make them like they used to. (And why they maybe should.)
Like Broadway, the landscape of reality TV has been changing drastically and rapidly in recent years. Ratings for talent competitions like Idol, once viewership juggernauts, are plummeting. Searches for the next superstar aren’t even yielding so-so stars. The standard bearers of reality TV—American Idol, Dancing With the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance—are aging.
So on the occasion of his shepherding one song-and-dance classic to (hopefully) hit success on Broadway, we picked Lythgoe’s brain, too, about the state of song-and-dance reality TV: what’s gone wrong with shows like Idol (which he no longer produces) and SYTYCD, and how he thinks they can be saved.
So your involvement with On the Town started while looking for a So You Think You Can Dance prize?
I wanted to find something for the winner of So You Think You Can Dance. Every other year Adam Shankman was doing a Step Up movie and we could give them a role in that as a prize. There is very little you can give a dancer as a prize. On American Idol we can give them a recording contract. So I always try to find them something, on top of the money, to do. They go on tour straight afterwards, so that’s good. But after that tour, they go back to being nobody apart from “I’m a dancer.”
That’s so true. There’s no obvious prize to give a dancer to lure them onto a talent competition.
So I heard that An American in Paris was coming to Broadway and spoke to their company and asked if they wanted dancers and if we could put the winner of So You Think You Can Dance in it. But they don’t open until next year, so they couldn’t offer anything at the time. Then I got to hear of On the Town, contacted them, and asked if they were interested. They said yes, so I went to see some of their work, loved it, and found out that I could become a participating producer.
When you were talking with them about bringing the SYTCD winner into the show, was there any handwringing on their end on what if it was a hip-hop star who won?
No. I mean the kids who win SYTYCD can almost do anything. We went back and asked if someone like Fik-Shun, who won the previous year wins, could you handle that, and they were like, “Yeah.” Plus, they get publicity for it. So we help each other, to be honest with you.
I had a chance to talk to Ricky Ubeda (this year’s SYTYCD victor) after he won.
He really is beloved. I have to be honest with you, when we first saw him we really did know that he was going to win. Unless he did something dramatically terrible, everything was beautiful about him. But my vote sort of drifted to Zack halfway through the series.
Really? Your vote was with Zack instead of Ricky?
Yes. Obviously Zack’s a tap dancer, which I love. But he also grew before my eyes. Ricky was already there at the top. But Zack grew, and that was beautiful to watch.
Ricky and I talked about how his instant frontrunner status could’ve been a hurdle that he’d have to get over.
Without a question. But he actually won every week. He won every single week by a large margin. The only other one I’ve ever seen do that was Carrie Underwood.
So when does Ricky join On the Town.
February, if it’s still on. [Crosses his fingers.]
You’re crossing your fingers, but I think it will definitely still be on. But it does have an interesting place on Broadway right now, where it’s a lone classic musical alongside musicals based on popular movies, and bio-musicals, and jukebox musicals.
And everyone is pushing to the edge as well. I went to see Cabaret the other night, but it was over the top slightly. For me. But this whole idea of putting actresses in a singing and dancing part who cannot sing or dance, I do not get. When you have a number like “Maybe This Time” that is so powerful you need to have a standing ovation afterwards. To just get some scattered applause because the kid can’t sing is just sad. One thing I was frightened of was that there are no huge names in On the Town.
I was going to ask if you had nerves about opening on Broadway without a marquee name.
It’s based on talent. And each one of those kids is hugely talented. Who do you cast now that is a triple threat? Who is the singer, dancer, actor who can do what Tony Yazbeck is doing? There are very few around. It’s a tough one. I agree with you that this deserves to be on Broadway and deserves to last on Broadway, not just because I invested in it but because it’s a true, blue Broadway musical.
I noticed, with Newsies and with this especially, that dancing on Broadway has become so much more athletic than it used to be.
Well Newsies is stacked with former So You Think You Can Dance dancers. Dancing has really taken off in the last ten years, with Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance. People are realizing how tough this is to do. Sports stars going on Dancing with the Stars who are big, butch, and energetic are talking about how exhausting it is. Kids now in dance have raised the bar to such a difficult degree. It’s a whole different world. And it’s become far more athletic, especially on television, and because of that you don’t want to see people just mincing about on the Broadway stage. You want to see the same exuberance. That’s what’s changed.
Have you seen a change in the kind of dancing that’s being brought to you at auditions between when you started SYTYCD and now?
The street kids are now training, which is terrific to see. The whole acceptance of it. Let’s be honest, “boy dancing”—this is one of the few industries, and it bothers the hell out of me, that people question your sexuality just by you being in it. What the bloody hell does it have to do with anything? If I want to be a dancer, why are you getting personal with me? It’s put a lot of boys off dancing, straight or gay.
And that’s changed?
I think nowadays a lot of fathers have been coming up to me and saying, “I wanted my boy to be a football player but he wants to be a dancer and I guess that’s good, isn’t it?” There’s an acceptance. And if that’s the only change that SYTYCD has done then I’m happy we did it. The warmth and the soul that you get out of dancing, if someone was going to stop you from doing that? It’s almost evil.
You mentioned earlier how there’s no record contract or comparable prize to give a SYTYCD winner. So in doing the shows for all these years, naming so many winners, have you seen, then, what being on the show or winning the show can do for a dancer’s career? I mean, you can’t measure it with record sales or number one singles or anything like that.
Exactly. They have conventions for dance, and these kids go around the country as the winner. And they make, I believe, a reasonably good living being there and teaching and selling merchandise. They are stars within that community. A lot of them become choreographers. The most successful ones, like Travis Wall, start their own companies. A lot of them have been on Broadway. Some have gone on to movies, like Twitch. Allison Holker has gone on now to Dancing with the Stars, as most of my dancers have gone on to Dancing with the Stars. They’re even doing Bollywood on Dancing with the Stars now!
So much Dancing with the Stars shade!
Again, I won’t knock any way we get dance on television. Excluding Dance Moms. [Laughs] It’s a tough life. We’re not going to make stars. So the next thing is what are they going to now? They become dance teachers. I know Chehon, who was the male winner one year is a brilliant photographer. So as much as they can transition into physiotherapists, dance teachers, dance administrators, dance photographers, anything like that to stay in the dance world, because if you lose that part of your life when you love dance, it’s too tough.
There are former contestants from America’s Next Top Model who have talked about how being identified with that show, and with reality TV, has hurt their careers. Have you seen any kind of backlash like that with So You Think You Can Dance?
You’d have to ask them, to be honest with you. What I would’ve said is, we try and keep a real integrity to the show. If we see something that is not, we’ll be honest about it and try to put it right with what we say. And I think any dancers watching the shows will know what these kids are going through and how hard they are pushed. And that the amount we’re asking them to grow would embarrass them if they don’t get it. And would understand that it’s an honest competition. So I don’t see why there would be a backlash, because dancers all know how hard you have to work to achieve a certain level. And if you have to do that in front of so many people live, that can be uncomfortable. So they should be proud of the ones who pull it off.
What are the challenges, then, of keeping the show fresh and challenging this long into the run?
Well I want to give it a new facelift. If we get recommissioned…
Is there any inclination either way?
Yes…But I’m still working on the concept. My problem is that there’s little drama at the end of the day. Because we get a Top 20 that is fucking brilliant. And then from that we get a Top 10 that is really fucking brilliant. I had nowhere else to go after saying fucking brilliant to elevate it. So if all we’re saying to everyone is, “Wow you were fantastic,” or, “God you were brilliant,” how many superlatives came you come up with? And then you have three or four people all saying the same thing. So I need to give some jeopardy, and I think I’ve worked out a way to do it so that if you are brilliant at what you do there’s still somewhere to go.
But I can’t help but wonder if, with something like American Idol, for example, its age and its longevity is also a reason why people don’t watch it anymore in the same amount.
Yeah. It became about the judges, which is terrific on The Voice. And The Voice has that amazing format—and not just the chairs swinging around—but so that you can steal a contestant, so that it’s me against you so that it can be about the judges. Idol, apart from Cowell and the interaction between him and Paula, was always about the contestants: their backstories, where they came from, everything about them. Then all of a sudden it started being about the judges.
With the celebrity casting of the judges panel?
Even at the latter stages Simon and Ryan took over the mantle and it became a little dark. Then it became about Nicki and Mariah. All of a sudden the kids started disappearing, so you couldn’t even remember who the contestants are. That had something to do with it. Plus, at the age it is, which is 13 years old, the kids who were 10 then are 23 or 24 now. Their kids are starting to watch and they want their own show. Everybody wants their own show. Idol was mom and dad’s show. They want their own. But quite frankly it’s still huge. It’s still the number one show on Fox, but everyone dumps on it because of this vast drop.
The other thing about Idol was that it really was a star-maker at first. Now, and it’s not just Idol, but none of this shows—The Voice, The X Factor—has produced a star in a really long time. Why do you think that is?
I think in the last few years of Idol they’ve not done the depth on the contestants. I didn’t know anybody last year. I think The Voice is about the judges. The X Factor is about the judges. And I think the record industry has a lot to do with it, too. You can just download everything now. You’re not really creating a record-seller. And to be frank, maybe the talent hasn’t been something that at the end of the day people want to buy. If you think about who did become stars, they were all personalities. Jennifer Hudson was sixth before she took off. Ruben Studdard I thought was fantastic, the best crossover singer since Luther Vandross for me. And then he came out with an urban record. But on the show he was singing Neil Sedaka songs. So you can screw up careers as well. These shows are great platforms. That doesn’t mean to say they’re going to be springboards anymore.
So what is the appeal to being on these shows for hopeful talent if they’ve become all about the judges?
You’re still seeing them. They can still turn that into work. But at the end of the day it’s the record companies. You have to like the music. You’re not going to buy something you don’t like or want to listen to just because you like the personality of the person who is singing it.
What do you think the state of dance shows is, then? SYTYCD’s fate still hangs in the balance, although you seem to be indicating that it could get another season, and Dancing with the Stars has seen its ratings tumble.
We’re getting old. I never dreamt we’d make it to 12 seasons. I thought one season would be it. It was Simon Fuller who said to me, “You were a dancer, weren’t you? We should do the same thing with dance that we did with American Idol and singing.” I said it’d never work. He said, “Why?” It was because there was nowhere to look at dance over here. There was no program on like it. And he said, “Well can you come up with a competition?” I said no. And didn’t for nine months.
But he kept on at me and on at me. And the very first SYTYCD was horrible. We were scoring it like the Olympics: presentation, technique. 6.7 for this. 3.4 for this. Adding it all up. It was horrible. So we thought let’s just make it like American Idol. A bottom three. You vote someone off. And thank god we did. I never thought we’d make it past that first year, but we’re still hanging on and I’m thrilled. But like everything, it’s cyclical. They’ll disappear and then maybe in 10, 12 years come back again. I don’t think dancing is going to go away now. Like reality. No matter what they say about reality it’s not going to go away, if good things come up.
All of these shows make backstories and the human element of the contestants a big part of the telecast. One interesting thing about The Voice is that it actually addressed contestants’ sexuality in a way that Idol never had, or really any other talent competition had before.
I touched on that earlier a little bit. What does any of this have to do with sexuality? What does that have to do with anything on these shows?
But if their personal lives are part of human interest packages in the show, it is relevant.
But again, how much do you show of somebody’s life? Do you really want to say there’re straight, they’re gay, they’re bisexual? What does that have to do with anything? That’s up to the individual. If they want to say, “I’m gay!” I’m happy put it out there. If they want to say, “I’m straight.” Ok. But why? I just don’t get it. I think there are things that are just personal. If you want to come out, come out. If you don’t want to come out, don’t. I don’t go to my dentist and ask him if he’s straight or gay. You should take pride in who you are, end of story.
Then why do you think there’s such fascination over that question—gay or straight?—when there’s a contestant who the audience feels like should address it?
I don’t know. But like I said, I think it’s been a barrier to dance for years. I don’t want to create barriers. I want to knock barriers down. It’s frustrating for me that we’ve got to pigeonhole people. We’re all just talented people, end of story. People this year were telling us, “Where were the African-Americans?” I was like, “Excuse me?” Critics were like, “There was only one African-American on the show.” Did we? I don’t think about it. Maybe I should.
But that’s an interesting question. How much does a producer need to be thinking about something like that?
Exactly. We’ve had a lot of black kids win. We just don’t think about that. Straight. Gay. It’s can you do this? Can you do that? Are you talented? Can you connect with an audience? I got into real trouble with GLAAD, to be honest. I did a gag—we had a couple of ballroom boys. In the end, he put him into a backbend and kissed him. And I said, “I really don’t like Brokeback Ballroom.” Oh, a scandal came out of it. Adam Shankman had to say, “No, he’s not homophobic. He kissed me once.” And I had to be like, “No! Adam! Don’t put that.” You have to smile and laugh at that.
To bring it back to On the Town, what’s your favorite moment from that show?
I think “Lonely Town” is very special. There’s something sound and eerie and lonely about it. I think that’s an amazing moment. I think Alysha Umphress doing “I Can Cook Too” is a powerhouse number. She’s so sexy with it. As much as I love the dancing, those are the two things that touched me. | <urn:uuid:fe2c4af8-74cc-404e-8b94-905758d226d9> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://blog.thedailybeast.com/nigel-lythgoe-on-how-to-save-reality-tv-on-the-town-and-brokeback-ballroom | 2019-07-22T20:43:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195528220.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722201122-20190722223122-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.978682 | 4,452 |

I will certainly introduce you to Zrii, its items, as well as the method it works. Normally, I’ll likewise be addressing the question that’s probably at the leading edge of your mind.
Is Zrii a rip-off or is it legit?
What Is Zrii?
Zrii is a dietary producer of wellness supplements as well as also skin care products based in Draper, Utah with offices in New Zealand along with the UK.
The business’s products are all motivated by Ayurvedic practice. That links them to a very old system of wellness with roots in India. Perhaps because of this, most of the items likewise take advantage of typical herbs and fruit supplements from Ayurveda.

Facial Exfoliator – An exfoliant item that additionally hydrates, this makes use of gentle bamboo as well as apricot powders so individuals can apply it daily if preferred.
The Payment Technique
When you join Zrii as an Independent Exec (IE), you have to get among three enrollment loads: the Requirement Pack, the Executive Z-Pack (EZP), or the Premier Z-Pack (PZP).
By buying particular registration packs, or by collecting sufficient QV (qualifying volume) via private item orders, you can unlock specific advantages.
So exactly how can you make money out of distributing Zrii? There are numerous means to do it, in fact. We can divide them right into 3 categories: Immediate compensation, Residual payment, and Leadership settlement.
The instant techniques of getting paid are the least as well as additionally potentially the most basic.
You can get up to 30% commission on all your first orders,
You can become a “Celebrity” as well as make $200 by recruiting at the very least 2 new IEs to be component of your team with an EZP or PZP, as well as
You can make $400 by assisting at the very least 2 of your IEs come to be “Stars” themselves.
Residual settlement generally comes from having actually built a group of various other representatives under you. Right here are the means to earn money from it:
Team payments provide you 10% of your pay leg’s CV or commissionable quantity every week.
Matching bonus offers to approve you 7 generations of dynamically produced check matching for payments.
Consumer rewards provide you 20% compensations on every buy from a consumer you registered.
Client efficiency bonus offers to approve a $500 benefit whenever 5,000 customer qualifying quantity within a provided period.

Global Leadership Pool bonuses that give you 2% of the business’s total amount (global) commissionable sales.
So, let’s obtain straight to the factor, as well as address our previous query, “Is Zrii simply another rip-off or is this legit?”
Well, based upon the info I have actually discovered, Zrii is actually a genuine company with some intriguing products. I’m not stating they work each time, however, they do appear to be wholesome, as well as there are a reasonable variety of reviews claiming they’re worth trying.
As for the MLM component of the business, it appears to be legitimate also. Payouts are in fact made and also the company is clearly sufficient to release its income disclosure declaration on its main internet site.
That having been said, a look at that disclosure statement does supply a tiny caution, though. To be precise, it suggests that not every person can make a great deal of cash from being a Zrii distributor. 56.09% of all its distributors are only at the most affordable ranking, the IE. Their monthly average earnings are a pitiful $84.64.
Now, this makes good sense due to the fact that the revenues you can get from Network marketing like these will certainly constantly depend partly on just how excellent you go to sales. If you’ve never ever been also talented at it, opportunities are, you’ll be part of that 56.09% of Zrii’s representatives.
On the various another hand, if you’re great at selling to others, you simply might make it to the business’s upper distributor rates. Those in the 4-star rate make approximately $983.82 while those in the 5-star rate earn an average of $1,536.75. Those in the greatest tier (0.05% of all active distributors) really make a whopping $34,467.88 each month!
So, if you think you’ve got what it requires to market these products as well as recruit other fantastic sellers, go on and also register. It is your ticket to a home business that can sustain the way of life you desire.
