Universal Audio have released a new two-channel interface called Arrow. The first ever Thunderbolt 3 soundcard, Arrow features two mic pres, two 1/4" TRS outputs, a hi-impendance instrument input and UAD's famous DSP and plugin collection. Featuring a single UAD SOLO chip, the Arrow is the most affordable UA interface yet, making their much-lauded plugs available for only £449.
The Arrow ships with the Realtime Audio Classics bundle that includes 14 plugins including Pultec EQ, Marshall amps and an LA2A clone and their real-time processing means near zero-latency monitoring, regardless of the software’s buffer settings. While the whole of the range of UAD plugs is available to Arrow users, with only one DSP chip, there’s a limited amount of power to run them.
Still, UAD have always been a leader when it comes to quality, so by lowering the entry price, it’s only going to increase their market share and bring more beginner producers into the UAD fold. If you need more power, UAD Apollo Twin Mark II is just as portable, with more power and if DSP isn't important to you, check SuperStereo's SC78 'card here.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers: Thursday, March 28 – Reed Rebuffs Victoria – Cane Gets Divorce Papers – Arturo Is Fired
The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for Thursday, March 28, tease that Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) will have a nightmare about JT Hellstrom (Thad Luckinbill) and awaken to find Reed Hellstrom (Tristan Lake Leabu) at her side. Reed will be upset and he’ll have questions about JT’s charges. The two will discuss everything that’s happened, and Reed will be amazed that JT was going to let the women go to prison. They’ll discuss JT’s medical treatment, and Reed will say that he wants to see JT.
Next on Y&R, at Dark Horse, Arturo Rosales (Jason Canela) will try to woo Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) back with roses, but Abby will react with disdain. She’ll say that he’ll probably be back in Mia Rosales’ (Noemi Gonzalez) bed in a week, and that she’s already spoken to Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) and that he’s fired from Dark Horse and needs to be out today.
Y&R Spoilers– Tessa’s Charged Are Dropped!
At Crimson Lights, Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) and Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) will chat about Tessa’s blackmail charges, then Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) will appear and let the ladies know that Tessa’s charges have been dropped.

He’ll tell them that he hurt Lily, but he’ll stop short of telling them exactly what he did. Later, Michael will stop by and they’ll discuss Lily – it’s Michael’s impression that Lily is ready to move on. After Michael leaves, Cane will rip up the divorce papers.
Young And The Restless Spoilers–Reed And Victoria Catch Up With JT
Next on Y&R, at the hospital, Victoria and Reed will arrive to visit JT. Reed and JT will talk alone, and JT will apologize to Reed. The two will talk about old times, hanging out and playing the guitar. Eventually, the police arrive to arrest JT and take him away, and Reed will protest. But JT will tell Reed that he has to answer for what he did. After JT’s gone, Reed will lash out at Victoria and refuse to leave with her.
Back at Crimson Lights, Maddie Ashby (Lexi Stevenson) and Charlie Ashby (Noah Alexander Gerry) will discuss their parents’ divorce, while Mariah and Tessa continue their dance. Abby will interrupt their moment to discuss her new restaurant. Abby will say that she wants publicity all over GC Buzz. Tessa will ask about Lola Rosales (Sasha Calle), and Abby will say that she’s ready to work.

Switches would be a good solution but their cost is quite some money.
I think iptables has a solution:
iptables -A INPUT -m mac --mac-source 00:0F:EA:91:04:08 -j DROP
If applied to tjener, this would block all traffic coming from that mac, thus blocking HDCP and DNS.
The pc with that mac would have a hard time getting on the network and internet.
To find an easy list of mac address of your pc's you can use a (windows program :-( ) called angry ip scanner.

There are those who innovate for pure need. They are so frustrated, they create something to solve a real and immediate need. Then there is a different group who dont have a personal need but like to work with others to solve a wider need, maybe in their company department or maybe in a voluntary manner. Further, there are those who seem to be full of ideas and have a need to express those views, with or without an immediate need.
Just considering these groups alone (certainly not exhaustive) , there may be merits in each depending on your context and need. I the first case, if you have a similar issue, there may be a real desire to see how the problem was solved by another individual. In the second group, who juist enjoy teams and working together, this also attracts people who share this way of working and hence can allow connections between departtments and work well for complex business issues. Finally, the last group can be valuable when there is a lack of ideas to catalyse new thinking. This is most beneficial in companies who have been operating the same way for many years and seem wed on staying the same no matter the cost.
Id like to hear other views on styles and approaches that are either helpful or raise problems. | <urn:uuid:aab7ed92-90e9-4acd-ac80-e173b4b660f2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://matthewdayres.wordpress.com/2013/07/26/what-motivates-people-to-innovate/ | 2019-07-24T02:42:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.973981 | 253 |
If you are looking to relocate to the Nashville/Murfreesboro area of Tennessee, Jimmy is the best. When we decided to move from Illinois to Murfreesboro, we needed a real estate expert who would listen to our needs and supply us with info on properties that met our criteria. Jimmy understood the market and advised us on how fast properties were selling. Knowing we only had two days to look due to our schedule, Jimmy drove us anywhere we asked to look at all types of properties. He never tried to “sell” us on a house but gave great insight about each property’s possibilities, the neighborhoods, etc. After deciding on new construction and due to the travel distance, we relied on Jimmy as our eyes and ears as to the progress on the home. Throughout the process he was there, solving little and big problems. Thanks to Jimmy we are now enjoying a home that is a perfect match.

Even people on the left were stunned by the manufactured appearance and weird vibes exhibited by the two leading democrats.
Both supporters and critics immediately trashed the strange, robot-like delivery and same-old, same-old rhetoric spewed by two of the biggest hypocrite career politicians in congress.
The response was quickly ripped apart online, as tons of people mocked the way they spoke while standing close together behind a small podium wearing scowls.
Their faces look like wax figures and many peole expected them to start speaking in a robotic voice simulation.
Many people think that’s a generous take on the strange, plastic-faced politicians.
“We trusted you with Dad’s car because we thought you could be responsible with it, but we see now you’re not ready,” Vulture writer Kathryn VanArendonk joked.
“Heavy Twin Peaks vibes,” added Twitter user Michael Dolan.
Others compared the Senate Minority Leader and Speaker of the House to the pitchfork-holding farmer couple.
“American Gothic anyone…” wrote Twitter user Seth Johnson, who included a screenshot of Grant Wood’s work of art.
“Not sure I’d have picked this American Gothic staging for Chuck and Nancy,” added Tom Nichols, a U.S. Naval War College professor.
Others couldn’t help but notice the resemblance to the ghost twins from The Shining. | <urn:uuid:2d69613a-41ce-4556-b847-32068a742604> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://nworeport.me/2019/01/12/freak-show-democrat-response-to-trump-address-gets-no-mercy-from-internet/ | 2019-07-24T02:36:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.949781 | 303 |
GMA: No, I’m not behind House amendments in 2019 budget
House Speaker Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on Friday categorically denied she had any hand in the last-minute changes made by the House to the 2019 budget, which is causing delay in its passage into law.
“No. And Nonoy has been saying that over and over again,” she told reporters who asked her if it was not true “you were behind it.”
The former President said it was not up to her to “set the record straight” on the budget, as other House leaders had already been explaining the House’s position on the General Appropriations Bill.
“I think (Congressmen) Fred Castro and Nonoy Andaya and Edcel Lagman have already been setting the record straight,” she said.
“They were the ones who worked on the budget not me and they have been setting the record straight,” she said.

SBC. Divorce and remarriage. Purity ring statues. Terrorism. Austin. Rugby. Teenaged pastors. Football. Lots to pick from this week.
What a beautiful thing! These were humble, gifted, godly, sacrificial ministry women making a real difference with what they had. This seems far removed from our conception of a few gals making salads and gossiping in the kitchen while the men grill outside and talk about the markets and doctrine and hunting and man stuff.
As my wife and I walked back to the parking lot after the movie, we saw people wearing colourful African print dresses, colourful headcovers, colourful African shirts with matching trousers. These were people from every race, age group, and continent. They were buzzing with joy, just hanging around the foyer, their bond stronger because they had been to Wakanda and back.
In the context of #metoo and #churchtoo, and the horrific things we are learning through that, I am seriously before the Lord asking how we might create churches that are safe spaces for broken and abused women. Churches where we go out of our way - like our Lord - to dignify women's stories, to offer the living and restorative water of the gospel, and to give meaningful purpose in mission to women who previously felt like they had no place. | <urn:uuid:7dfba66a-dcbf-46e5-b369-22ba4a41f590> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://rosslester.com/tag/women/ | 2019-07-24T02:30:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.974433 | 271 |
At the end of March, there were a couple more birthdays, and here is what I sent.
For my Dad, there was another Claude the Cactus. This one was made with Lion Brand Jiffy in Avocado and Fun Fur. The fun fur I used on the first Claude was probably 5 years old, and it seems that the product has changed somewhat. The new Fun Fur seems to be a single thread sticking out, where as the old stuff had 2 or three threads twisted together. This means that the new stuff is much finer and higher density, which hides the green. To counteract this, I gave Claude II a haircut. I trimmed ~1/4 to 3/8″ of fur off all over his body to make sure the green could be seen, and I trimmed even more around the eyes.
I also found some novelty yarn at AC Moore that worked perfectly for gravel and freestyled a pot for him out of some TLC acrylic, as well. I put a little bit of stuffing between gravel and pot bottom, but not much.
For my Grandpa Z, I knit a teddy bear from the Prima website. I used Lion Brand Fisherman’s wool for the body and some green mystery yarn I got at my Market class at Stitches East in Baltimore last October for the sweater. The only modification I made was to lengthen the legs. Where the pattern says to knit 9 rows of reverse stockinette, I knit 13. I used a 30 mm doll joint to connect the head to the body so that it would turn, and I string jointed the arms and legs with yarn. Eyes are onyx beads and nose is embroidery thread. I dreaded sewing the pieces together by hand enough that I stitched the head and body pieces together on the sewing machine. In retrospect, back stitching with yarn isn’t so bad, and I could have done the whole thing without too much trouble.
More recently, I tried dying yarn with Kool-Aid. I had about 67 yards of Lion Brand Fisherman’s Wool in Natural from a project I can’t blog about until June, and I decided to experiment with dying. I read a little about dying with Kool-Aid, and when I went to the laundromat, I stopped into the grocery store nearby to buy some Kool-Aid to play with. The flavors were limited, so I got Tropical Punch, Cherry and Grape. I wrapped the yarn around the dining table and chairs to make a really long loop. I then soaked the yarn for a while in a bath of woolwash and water for about 15 minutes.
I set up my 3 plastic tubs with 2 packets of kool-aid each and distributed the skein between the three. After 4 two minute heat cycles in the microwave (with ~ 10 to 15 minute breaks between) all the color was absorbed and it looked like this:
( clockwise from left: grape, cherry, tropical punch)
I then let it cool, hung the skein on the curtain rod to dry, and then wrapped it into a skein around my swift.
Still not sure what I will do with the yarn, but it was a fun experiment.
Last Thursday, I went to our Twisted Stitcher’s Meetup where we had our quarterly yarn swap. I didn’t take very much in, but I did bring a bunch home. One was this intriguing DK weight yarn of unknown composition that belonged to someone’s mother. I had no good way of knowing how much was there, so I decided I would knit a shrug. I swatched some fancier lace patterns, but they got lost in the coloring of the yarn, so I ended up choosing a simple eyelet pattern from the Barbara Walker Treasury, book 1. It is Quatrefoil Eyelet (pg 171) and I used the Lace Rib (pg 48) pattern for the edging. I used standard raglan shaping ( knit in front and back on either side of stitch marker on every knit row).
I haven’t blocked it yet, but I’m afraid it is going to grow. I probably should have separated the sleeves earlier, but it looks okay right now. I will post new pictures after I block it, but I couldn’t help wearing it today. It was 67 and beautiful outside, so Scott took these pictures.
Without posting about the project I’ve been working on as a gift for a friend, I think this about catches up my fiber endeavors. | <urn:uuid:8d0ba624-9068-4f36-b4b7-7d7330d6c196> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://stellarb.wordpress.com/tag/amigurumi/ | 2019-07-24T02:54:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.970252 | 937 |

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to live in a real-life CandyLand or did you ever envy those kids who got to visit Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory? Well, Candytopia is the answer to all your childhood confectionary dreams!
I visited this new pop-up museum in Santa Monica with my boyfriend and high school friend (fellow Inkblotter) Phoebe Jane.
Not only are all the painting replicas and art installations made entirely of candy, but every room allows you to have a piece of candy before you go (but c’mon, ya know that my sugar addict self may have taken four or six each from every station, don’t judge me, I’m also a hoarder).
The funnest portion of the museum is of course, the marshmallow pit (not made out of real marshmallows, sadly) but still just as fun. The other rooms weren’t timed, but because of the popularity of this particular room, I think that we were given a mere fifteen minutes to bask in the bliss of a fluffy heaven.
So was the trip worth the $30? Well, if reliving the stupor and amusement of your 8 yrs.-old self could come with a price tag, then yes, I say it’s definitely worth it. And although going solo might be just as fun, I would recommend to bring some friends along (after all, you do need to have victims to pelt with marshmallows once you’re in that pit!).

Agile. If you operate beyond the software development world, odds are you hear “agile" often but might not be sure what it means. Agile process and principles, developed by the IT community, allow developers to provide on-the-fly feedback throughout their product development cycle.
Let's have a look at the four key principles of what's dubbed the Agile Manifesto. The Agile process values:
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.
- Working software over comprehensive documentation.
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.
- Responding to change over following a plan.
It's not that the values on the right are unimportant. Agile focuses, however, on the values on the left.
If your business operates outside of the IT realm, you might be wondering if there's a place for agile principles in your business. Let's look beyond the phrase “agile process" and into the values that make it an empowering process for any business. This way, you can see which of these values could both apply to your business and bring the greatest benefit. It may even inspire you to adopt new processes that can help your business thrive like agile does with software development.
1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.
Successful businesses come down to two audiences: the humans who create what you sell and the humans who buy what you sell.
Humans are, by nature, wildly variant creatures: A myriad of situations and conditions can affect how they react to a situation.
This means running a nimble company, one that's able to respond to variables as they appear, could put the humans on both sides of your company in a better position to succeed.
If customers or employees complain about processes or procedures on regular basis, you might be valuing processes and tools over individuals and interactions to your detriment.
By becoming a more agile company that focuses on people and conversations, and knowing when to best bend the rules and abandon cumbersome tools, you could lead your business to better conversations, less clunky problem solving and higher levels of employee and customer satisfaction.
2. Working software over comprehensive documentation.
Handbooks. User's manuals. FAQs.
Companies design these tools with good intentions, but forget that they can leave questions unanswered and lead to frustration. Having streamlined and satisfying day-to-day business processes for employees and customers alike are more important than the pages and screens that outline the underlying processes word by word.
If your leaders and customer service reps frequently refer those facing challenges to supporting documentation, it might be time to look at the problems instead of the problem-solving papers.
Ever been frustrated with a lackluster FAQ or product manual? Think about what would have given you the answer you needed. A simple disclaimer about shipping in a shopping cart? Product dimensions?
By pooling frustrations, you can help improve the way your company functions to avoid those issues, software included. You might just find that you can skip updating the documentation because it explained a solution for a problem that no longer exists.
As you increase your commitment to becoming an agile process company, you may also decrease your need for wordy explanations.
3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.
There isn't a project that happens in the business world without terms of engagement settled.
Why wouldn't you want both speed and ease when it comes to contract negotiations? You're likely not in the business of negotiating contracts (professional contract negotiators: apologies) and your passion rests far beyond a signature line and financial investment.
If you're interested in becoming a more agile company, consider shifting towards a collaboration-centric negotiations phase. Put your client at the center of the conversation by placing their goals, needs and vision for the future in the lead. This way, your company can abandon the cookie-cutter proposal templates and slide presentations in favor of bringing solutions that make your client the star of any contract being signed.
You might also discover that there's more joy and excitement in the signing stage than ever before and find clients that are just as excited to get to work as you are.
4. Responding to change over following a plan.
There's the oft misquoted line from the poem “The Mouse" by Robert Burns about plans:
The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft a-gley.
In translation, the best laid plans often go awry. When hyper-focused on the plan itself, it's hard to make necessary shifts when things don't go as planned.
While plans can offer maps to direct your company towards a desired goal, you might find that you reach goals more efficiently and with better-than-envisioned outcomes by leaving more room for change.
Acknowledge the anomalies. Embrace the aberrations. Ask, “What's happening?" instead of lamenting what happened. By shifting your devotion from plan to present tense, you can quickly address concerns, shift strategy and stop wasting time and resources (financial and emotional) on wishing things were different.
Launch with a plan. Embrace the imperfect journey to completion. That's a more agile process.
The truth is that you don't have to be entrenched in the IT world to make agile process and principles work for your business. By creating a constant feedback cycle between all of the humans and technology that power your business, you can help build more engaged teams, earn devoted customers and discover a smoother way of doing business.

Worth a Thousand Words - part 4
Our last day in Thailand was reflecting on the goodness of God, having fun at the beach, and trekking with elephants...
Beach and Complex in Pattaya
Pattaya is a beautiful place... It was even better having our complex across the beach :) But there is also a dark side to Pattaya... It is world renown for women being treated as objects. Most of the demand is by North American indulgences. Women can go as cheap as 1000-1500 baht or $25.00-$30.00 CND/hour. It is a very sad reality that women is treated as a price tag; yet, Christ sees them as priceless.
A highlight for the team was the Elephant Trek... It was an AWESOME experience.
Thai Floating Market
Before hitting the airport, we had the opportunity to experience a Thai floating market. We had to buy lunch on our own to experience the culture. | <urn:uuid:2bc6c49b-373c-4cbe-9ce4-657fe4446ad6> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.andygabruch.ca/blog/2011/3/31/worth-a-thousand-words-part-4.html | 2019-07-24T02:08:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.975649 | 199 |

As dance teachers we meet many awesome individuals from all walks of life. But, as with any business, there are some challenges along the way. Just like any customer service driven business, you never know what kind of personality you will engage with when meeting a new client.
One night a new couple, who appeared to be their twenties, attended my group class. They were invited by their friends who had taken a class with me the month before. They had no previous dance experience. As the lesson progressed I noticed that they were struggling a bit, but I gave them their space. During the break my mother, who helps me during class, came up to me and said, “I wouldn’t approach him if I were you, he doesn’t want any help”. She was visibly upset. He apparently had spoken to her in a harsh tone when she approached him to offer assistance. He told her he “couldn’t do it” and that he was there to dance with his girlfriend and didn’t want people standing around watching him.
After the break I kept an eye on the couple and as I made my rounds I made eye contact with his girlfriend who gestured for me to come over. I could tell by his body language that he wasn’t receptive to my visit. I kept eye contact with her and listened to what she had to say. Then I gently turned to face him, offering my hands, and asked him if he would dance with me. Surprisingly he took my hands. His face was beet red in frustration and I could feel the tension in his body. As we started the basic step, I began to speak to him in a very soft tone. I told him to take a breath. As I continued to talk with him we kept dancing. Then he told me he “had” this step but he couldn’t get the ladies turn. So, without missing a beat, I said, “OK, then let’s turn”, (yes, I back-lead that one). And before he could think about it, we did it a second time, then a third time. I could feel the stress leaving his body and his face was beginning to relax. I didn’t give him the time to think it through; we just did the move over and over. Once I felt him relax I returned him to his partner.
At the end of the class he came up to me and he asked if the woman who approached him was my mother and I said yes. He said “I think I owe her an apology”. I didn’t let on that she had said anything to me but I’m sure he knew. Then he said “do you think I should apologize?” and I said, “yes, I think that would be a good idea” and he walked over to her and offered her a sincere apology. As the young couple was leaving the dance floor, he said he had just worked a 14 hour day and apparently hadn’t eaten dinner. As the group was getting ready to leave, his girlfriend looked over her shoulder at me and assured me she would feed him before he came to the next lesson!
The next week on the dance floor was an entirely different story. As we danced through a mixer at the end of class, he danced more fluidly, with more confidence, and with a smile on his face! What a difference a week makes. We had crossed an important hurdle (and I surmise he had eaten dinner).
My point through all of this is: you can’t expect to have a positive result if you approach a nervous new student, full of anxiety, and slap them on the side of their head (yes, I’ve heard stories) to cajole them in to learning to dance. It’s hard enough to get men on the dance floor – so for goodness sake please don’t reprimand them right out of the gate. Don’t get me wrong, there are times when instructors need to be firm, yet professional, but in situations like this, being harsh won’t work.
One of my dance contacts in Houston, TX is Rebecca and she operates “The Dance Whisperer” studio. I love that name ~ it inspired this post. As social dance instructors, many of us are “dance whisperers” every time we teach a class. Teaching social dance requires a lot of patience. My students are not out to compete, they are out to have fun and socialize. I have to earn their trust, be firm when I need to be firm, correct when I need to correct, be their cheerleader, and encourage them during their dance journey.
So, are you a Dance Whisperer or a Drillmaster? Maybe if we hone our “whispering” skills we’ll fill our community ballroom dance floors!

Crossrail delays will have 'significant economic impact' says Bexley councillor
PUBLISHED: 07:00 30 October 2018
The delays to Crossrail will have a significant economic impact on Bexley residents, a councillor has warned.
Earlier this year it was confirmed the service would open in autumn 2019, nearly a year late, to allow for more testing.
Transport for London (TfL) said it would lose £20m in revenue, but the total cost of the delay could be even higher.
Locally, TfL has been warned that residents in the north of Bexley will have to bear the economic brunt of the botched launch.
Councillor Louie French, cabinet member for growth, told TfL how dissappointed the borough was at summer’s announcement.
He said at a transport meeting last night: “The delay does have an impact on residents in the north of the borough. Of course it has an impact on TfL’s finances.
“Residents will rightly question when the Mayor knew about the delays because it impacts not just those looking to travel, but residents’ opening businesses in the north of the borough, because of the economic impact it will have for them. We are not happy.”
The Elizabeth Line had been due to open in December but will now be launched next year to ensure “safe and reliable railway”.
The new line will run from Abbey Wood through Woolwich and connect London landmarks such as Canary Wharf and Heathrow.
Gary Nolan, representing Transport for London, said: “We were all disappointed that services are not being launched in December.
“In terms of when it became clear, it is helpful to know that there isn’t one thing that was the problem. There are a number of different issues with the programme, particularly around software.
“What we know is that Crossrail was reviewing the programme, and looking at the cumulative impact of the delays.
“Launching it in December wouldn’t have been safe. It was felt that the best thing to do was have a full period of testing.”
No further delays are anticiapted yet, according to TfL. | <urn:uuid:b8258a98-061a-474b-a27c-a4e13fa1f627> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.bexleytimes.co.uk/news/crossrail-delays-economic-impact-1-5756355 | 2019-07-24T02:41:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.980919 | 466 |
BON APPETIT’S BEST GUACAMOLE DIP
It takes a while for the avocado to absorb all the flavors you add to it in this recipe. So if you ever find yourself wondering if your guac is spicy (or salty, or lime-y) enough, wait a few minutes before you add more so that you don’t accidentally overseason it. This is part of Bon Appetit’s Best, a collection of its essential recipes.
3 large ripe Hass avocados
1/4 white onion, finely chopped
1 serrano chile, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely grated
2 tablespoons (or more) fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup chopped cilantro, plus more for serving
Toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds; optional) and chips (for serving)
Smash avocados with a potato masher or fork in a medium bowl or with a molcajete (a Mexican mortar and pestle) until very coarsely mashed. Mix in onion, chile, garlic, lime juice, salt, and ¼ cup cilantro. Taste and add more lime juice, if desired. Top with pepitas (if using) and more cilantro; serve with chips alongside. Makes about 3 cups. | <urn:uuid:bfcf3691-cd9b-4218-bf30-49af161d2716> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.bnd.com/living/food-drink/article157207804.html | 2019-07-24T02:49:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.819572 | 277 |

ScyllaDB heads past 1.0, PostgreSQL expression indexes and future parallel queries, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS arrives, Amazon's Inspector comes calling, Let's Encrypt issues two millionth certificate, Sinatra hits the road for 2.0 and Monod is an interesting Markdown editor - all the links that caught the eye of Compose's technical content curator this week, in one place for you. These are Compose's Little Bits.
ScyllaDB - Cassandra-compatible open source, columnar database ScyllaDB had reached version 1.0 at the end of last month and, after the inevitable post-release bug fix release 1.0.1, version 1.1 is already shaping up with authorization support just being committed.
PostgreSQL Now - Tomas Vondra takes a look at the usefulness of expression indexes on 2ndQuadrant's blog and shows the value, when appropriate, of indexing according to an expression rather than selecting with expressions.
PostgreSQL Future - Parallel queries are a new feature coming in PostgreSQL 9.6 and Robert Haas has given them a run at a TPC-H query benchmark. Queries sped up by up to 5.0x, but some only got a minor boost or no boost at all and one slowed down. This is a first pass though and Haas picks out some of the issues to be addressed in future versions.
Ubuntu 16.04 - Canonical's latest LTS (Long Term Support) release of Ubuntu is out and you can head straight to the release notes to find out more about 16.04 "Xenial Xerus". The release notes page also contains links to the many variants of it. Ubuntu is widely used in cloud platforms, and the previous LTS, 14.04, is ubiquitous as a default Linux offering. With 16.04, expect that to repeat, but don't forget there's another three years of support to go for 14.04's core flavours.
Amazon Inspector - The cloud, books, games and groceries giant has made Amazon Inspector generally available. It's an automated security assessment system which can be configured, through a template, to test collections of AWS resources. The tests are developed by Amazon's own security researchers.
Let's Encrypt - The EFF note that the Let's Encrypt service has already issued its two millionth certificate. Let's Encrypt is a free certificate authority which can be automated so that having encrypted web connections is easy. With some big players sponsoring and and open governance, it is worth looking at to help securing sites.
Sinatra - There's a roadmap to Sinatra 2.0 now. The tiny Sinatra framework for Ruby, is a stable stalwart of microservices and 2.0 won't change that but it will add protection against web attacks, a new pattern matcher for routing and a contrib gem of helpful extensions.
Monod - An interesting experiment in Markdown editing is one way to describe Monod. It's just been open-sourced by TailorDev (find it on Github) and supports CommonMark, FontAwesome icons and emoji, PDF generation and collaborative editor. It also sets out not to share the documents you write with the host server by encrypting in the browser. | <urn:uuid:85dde812-3508-4744-b1a2-1074726aa2b4> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.compose.com/articles/composes-little-bits-27-scylladb-postgresql-now-and-future-ubuntu-16-04-amazon-inspector-and-more/ | 2019-07-24T03:16:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.928845 | 667 |

We know, we know. You didn’t expect to see the words “Harlem Shake” in a headline in 2017. We, too, wish the viral dance meme could have stayed buried in 2013. Blame it on the Federal Communications Commission.
Baauer, the creator of the “Harlem Shake,” has made headlines yet again for standing up against the FCC and the end of net neutrality.
Baauer’s song was used by FCC Chairman Ajit Pai and conservative outlet the Daily Caller in a video entitled “7 Things You Can Still Do on the Internet After Net Neutrality,” released after the FCC voted on Thursday to repeal protections for net neutrality.
Obviously, no one on the internet enjoyed watching Pai participate in a meme that died back in 2013, alongside Martina Markota, known for spreading the thoroughly debunked Pizzagate conspiracy theory.
BREAKING: The FCC has voted to dismantle #netneutrality— Reagan (@reayonce) December 14, 2017
But do not be disheartened. Congress has the final say. Be proactive. Keep contacting your congress members.
It's the entire internet vs a guy who thinks the harlem shake is a relevant trend.
the fight is not over
The chairman of the FCC does the Harlem Shake in this video in case you needed more help in deciding which side of this issue is wrong or right https://t.co/j7T4eZHNDr— Rocco Botte (@rocco_botte) December 14, 2017

HE IS UNFUCKINGFIT TO GOVERN OVER A GOTDAMN THING OVER HERE, CUH!!!!— Brian Foster: Flyin Saucer (@RexTestarossa) December 14, 2017
James Vanderbeek, using his @_diplo_ Twitter account, brought the use of the song to the attention of Baauer Thursday night. Baauer swiftly responded and said he plans to take action.
I'm Taking action. Whatever I can do to stop this loser https://t.co/Ajo6wBATdF— Aa (@baauer) December 14, 2017

Baauer told Billboard Dance the track was used without permission and he plans to take legal action against Pai and the FCC.
“The use of my song in this video obviously comes as a surprise to me as it was just brought to my attention,” he said in a statement. “I want to be clear that it was used completely without my consent or council. My team and I are currently exploring every single avenue available to get it taken down. I support net neutrality like the vast majority of this country and am appalled to be associated with its repeal.”
Maybe we’ll have a reason to be grateful for the “Harlem Shake” after all.

The new year is off to a flyer with version 1.1.75
22/12/2015 - DynDevice CMS content management system will soon updated to version 1.1.75 which will introduce significant improvements
The DynDevice ECM
development team keeps working tirelessly to update our platform with exclusive innovations and enhance the existing features. 2016 will see the introduction of version 1.1.75 which will be released during the Christmas holidays and will bring along some very interesting features.
This is a list of the new features:
Changes to existing modules.
. Changes to this module involve the "diary" feature:
- now the diary feature, which the module manages, allows the creation of new elements by dragging the cursor from one hour to another.
The module has been adapted to work with the latest Facebook APIs.
The "E-Commerce" module will be enhanced with the following tweaks:
- when a user edits his/her personal data using the dedicated form or by confirming an order, an e-Mail with all the updated information will now automatically be sentto the E-Commerce administrator;
- the option to rate a product has been added: one an order has been completed, users will be given the option to vote and comment on a product by following a link; a reminder will also be emailed to the purchasing customer. This feature is only available for orders that have already been paid and processed;
- when product quantity is changed in the "product details" window, the price will now be modified while keeping the graphic style that was set for that template.
This module now allows the filtering of newsletter recipients through the "multiple selection tree"-type field.
"Share on YSN" module.
This module also sees a few changes at system level:
- the module has been templatized: the template manages both modes (static bar and auto-scroller box) thereby enabling full personalization of the output being displayed on the page, e.g. in terms of the positioning of buttons. Moreover, you can now replace standard buttons with personalized buttons thanks to the new template variables which allow the insertion of a sharing link and a page share counter;
- you can now disable the auto-scroller box through the module's setting management.
- the system now checks for the presence of the "$sURLforShareOnYSN" php variable which, when enabled, will be used by sharing buttons in place of the page's url.
- when displaying data from DynTables, a new button now appears which enables you to send login details to available users for that table as long as it is valid for login and the "Username", "Password" and "e-Mail" fields are set correctly;
- the "Facebook Connector" feature has been adapted to the new Facebook APIs;
- The "FB-Connector" menu has been moved to "Site management" -> "Publication" while "FB user connector" has been moved to "Options" -> "System users".

PHOENIX–A night after the long ball giveth, the long ball taketh away from the San Francisco Giants.
Just three weeks into the regular season, the Giants have learned this lesson all-too-frequently for a team that plays its home games in the pitcher-friendly confines of AT&T Park.
Thanks to an A.J. Pollock solo shot off Ty Blach in the bottom of the sixth inning, the D’Backs took a 2-1 lead en route to a 3-1 win.
“I just left a pitch down the middle,” Blach said. “We were trying to throw one down and away and I just didn’t get it where I needed to.”
After playing six series this season, the Giants have yet to win a single one, splitting their first three before losing three in a row.
Blach entered the night as one of six Major League pitchers who had thrown at least 20 innings without surrendering a home run. Teammates Johnny Cueto and Chris Stratton are still members of an elite crew that’s figured out a way to keep the ball in the park, which is one of the main reasons a Giants’ team with a struggling offense has been kept in games.
In the sixth inning of his fourth start of the season, Blach finally allowed a ball to leave the yard as he gave up the crushing blow to a hitter he struck out twice earlier in the game.
In the seventh, the D’Backs added on, as a Ketel Marte home run off of Reyes Moronta extended Arizona’s lead.
The late rally from Arizona was enough to beat the Giants on a night when the offense finished its 10th game of the season in which it couldn’t produce more than a single run.
“The long ball has saved us,” manager Bruce Bochy said. “It’s what’s in front of us that’s been the issue. Timely hitting with runners in scoring position. That’s what wins games for you, we’re just not getting those.”
Help is on the way, though, as the Giants plan on bringing Minor League outfielder Mac Williamson to Anaheim for their weekend series. Williamson will join the taxi squad, and could be activated if Hunter Pence needs a disabled list stint to heal his ailing right thumb.
“(Williamson) went down and did what we were hoping, he made some noise and a team that’s lacking a little offense, it’s nice to have a guy or two down there swinging the bat well,” Bochy said.
For the third consecutive night, the hitters’ paradise known as Chase Field played host to a pitchers’ duel, as Blach battled D’Backs ace Zack Greinke in a low-scoring affair.
Greinke paces a deep, versatile Arizona staff that’s helped the club control the National League West since the start of April, and on Thursday, Greinke had little trouble controlling the Giants’ bats as the only mistake he made took place in the second inning.
After clubbing his 100th career home run in the 10th inning on Wednesday to propel the Giants to a 4-3 win, Brandon Belt stepped to the plate and unloaded on a Greinke slider to lead off the top of the second.
Belt said he hoped the journey from 100 to 200 home runs would be a much faster ride than his seven-plus season path to the century mark, so his solo shot Thursday was exactly the type of start he was hoping for.
Belt’s blast was a welcome sight for a Giants’ offense that has struggled to manufacture runs this season, but once again, the rest of the lineup failed to offer much support.
San Francisco had a chance to add on in the third inning, but a tremendous catch in the right center field alleyway robbed Joe Panik of extra bases and an opportunity to drive Andrew McCutchen in from first base.
Panik smoked a Greinke offering high in the air to the gap, sending two Arizona outfielders sprinting toward the warning track. By the time the ball shot back down through the atmosphere, right fielder Chris Owings had ranged over to glove it for an out. But as he secured the ball, Owings crashed into Pollock, taking a knee to the face that forced him to leave the game.
Panik’s flyout was the furthest ball the Giants hit after Panik’s home run, as Greinke recorded seven innings of one-run ball to pick up a win.
Though the Giants split their first three series of the season, they lost the rubber match of a three-game set at home against the Diamondbacks last week. San Francisco started off its four-game set in San Diego over the weekend with a blowout win, but proceeded to lose three in a row to drop the series.
The Giants certainly received enough from starter Johnny Cueto to gain an edge in Tuesday’s contest, but seven shutout innings and 11 strikeouts weren’t enough on a night when D’Backs lefty Patrick Corbin tossed a complete game one-hitter.
The club fired back on Wednesday, though, winning a back-and-forth affair in extra innings highlighted by impressive work from a bullpen that twice kept the D’Backs from walking off.
But for a team that won its first two games of the season thanks to home runs by Panik and a club that took Wednesday’s game on the shoulders of round-trippers hit by Belt and Evan Longoria, it was time for home runs to taketh away.
“Timely hitting,” Bochy said. “We’re hitting what, .120 with runners in scoring position? That’s not going to get you anything. It will pick up, but I’m hoping sooner than later.” | <urn:uuid:f0503e94-4068-4680-bb76-6d52de83f81e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2018/04/19/belts-homer-not-enough-giants-lose-third-straight-series/ | 2019-07-24T02:12:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.969167 | 1,266 |
Just Associates (JASS) believes that women who are most affected by the political, economic, environmental and health crises reverberating across the world are on the frontlines of change. While they rarely have a seat at the decision-making table, they are organizing their communities, developing solutions and promoting justice—often at great risk for going against the grain. As a global, women-led human rights network of activists, popular educators and scholars in 31 countries, they work to ensure women leaders are more confident, better organized, louder and safer as they take on some of the most critical human rights issues of our time.
JASS builds women’s collective power for justice. They equip and accompany women leaders from all walks of life, and help bring diverse activists, organizations and networks together to identify critical injustices and act collectively to solve them, known as feminist movement building.
Through regional teams in Southeast Asia, Southern Africa, and Mesoamerica—which consist of local activists with ties to diverse groups and movements—JASS trains local leaders, strengthens community organizing, builds broad alliances, and helps link grassroots solutions to global advocacy. Using creative communications and documentation strategies, we publicize the innovative ways women are addressing serious global issues that are impacting their daily lives—from HIV/AIDS, homophobia, indigenous land rights and, inequality, to violence against women and women human rights defenders. | <urn:uuid:f23c7e30-fd26-4d71-ab64-5fad63348b4b> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.escr-net.org/member/just-associates-jass | 2019-07-24T02:25:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.950799 | 280 |
Most laboratory species - such as flies, worms, mice, and other mammals - have been shown to age somewhat more slowly in response to calorie restriction; it changes near every measure of metabolism and improves near every measure of health. The effects on lifespan are much more pronounced in short-lived species than in long-lived species such as our own, but the effects on human health are still pretty impressive. It has been a few years now since researchers first found that the calorie restriction response has some dependency on sensory perception of food in species such as nematode worms and flies. This is an as yet largely unexplored avenue for the development of calorie restriction mimetic drugs that might recapture some of the benefits of eating less without the need to eat less:
Researchers have shown a new effect on aging via a small drug-like molecule that alters the perception of food in the nematode C. elegans. The researchers "tricked" the worm's metabolism into a state of caloric restriction, extending the animal's lifespan by 50 percent. The study provides a new avenue of inquiry for researchers around the world who are attempting to develop human drugs that mimic the positive effects of a Spartan diet. "This small molecule blocks the detection of food in the worm's mouth. The worm senses that its mouth is empty even when it is full of food, tricking the animal into shifting its physiology into a caloric restricted-state even when it's eating normally. Our study suggests that primary sensory pathways represent new targets for human pharmacology."
Researchers screened 30,000 synthetic, drug-like compounds in nematodes and identified several structurally related compounds that acted on mechanisms tied to caloric restriction. They found that the small molecule, NP1, impinged upon a food perception pathway by promoting glutamate signaling in the pharynx of the animal. The chemical activated a neurotransmitter-controlled food deprivation signal which altered the animal's normal metabolism into a caloric restriction state. Exploring sensory pathways as potential drug targets should be of interest to age researchers interested in mimicking caloric restriction in order to extend healthspan. The mechanisms involved in sensory pathways may be more specific than secondary pathways that detect energy levels or absorbed nutrients at the cellular level, such as the intracellular pathways mTOR and AMPK which are under study in many labs around the world. "Targeting sensory pathways may lead to a more rapid response to changing diet. Altering these higher level, specific response mechanisms may also have fewer effects on other systems in the body." | <urn:uuid:1937787a-8c08-4301-92e4-0265d10302ee> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2016/05/tinkering-with-sensory-pathways-as-an-approach-to-the-development-of-calorie-restriction-mimetics/ | 2019-07-24T03:02:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.954505 | 505 |

Events before the first Cheers/Jeers that led to me thinking you were this
other person would have led anyone to believe your post was about "my
Thomas" and yes this person is indeed an idiot and no, the response isn't
about insecurity, rather trying to get a point across. So like I said,
sorry. I'm assuming you've never called anyone any names though, right?
Anyways, since it's obviously a mix up, get over it and advice to you,
apologizing to someone and then calling them "junk" gets you nowhere. | <urn:uuid:b35e37ca-bb35-4856-bc83-218cedb5bec7> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.inlander.com/ISawYouYouSawMeCheersJeers/archives/2012/06/09/re-what-will-be-will-be | 2019-07-24T03:17:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.989435 | 121 |

Bakery Worthy Cinnamon Buns
Once you make these ooey, gooey, sticky cinnamon buns you won't want to share them with anyone.
Prep Time: 02:00
Cook Time: 00:20
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
2 eggs 1/4 cup white sugar
4 cups flour
1 tbsp active yeast
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1Step 1. Pour first 7 ingredients into bread machine. Place on dough setting
2Step 2. When cycle is complete take dough out and place on floured surface. Knead the dough by hand several times.
3Step 3. Roll the dough out in a rectangular shape to about 1 cm thickness. You want to dough quite thin for the next step to work well.
4Step 4. Gather the ingredients for the filling. Melt the butter and spread out evenly on the surface of the dough. I use my pastry brush to make this simpler.
5Step 5. Spread the brown sugar over the butter making sure to cover all the surface area of the dough. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon.
6Step 6. Starting with the dough closest to you begin to roll up the dough. You want to roll it up log style as uniformly as possible.
7Step 7. Once the dough is rolled up place the ingredients for the topping in a microwave safe bowl.
8Step 8. Microwave for about 30 seconds. Take out and stir. Repeat until butter is melted. Mix well
9Step 9. This recipe will make 2 9x13 pans. Spread the topping mixture evenly over the bottom of each pan.
10Step 10. Slice the dough into 1.5 inch sections and place down into the pan. Press firmly into the syrup topping. Each pan will hold 12 buns.
11Step 11. Place in a warm area and allow to rise for approx. 1 hour.
12Step 12. Preheat oven to 350 F.
13Step 13. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
14Step 14. While the buns are baking spread two sheets of tinfoil out on the counter and place cooling racks on top the tinfoil. This allows for easier clean up!
15Step 15. When the buns are done in the oven loosen the edge of the buns from the pan with a sharp knife. Let sit 10 minutes.
16Step 16. Turn out onto cooling racks. As the buns cool some of the syrup will drip off onto the tinfoil. Use a spoon and scoop it back up onto the buns so you don't waste any of the yummy, sticky goodness!

The quarter around Koellnischer Park, which is situated close to the River Spree in Berlin-Mitte, offers residents a combination of exciting contrasts: a vibrant art and cultural scene, stately embassies, a charming, historical center and some of Berlin's most iconic sights. All of which underscores Embassy's exemplary location. The quarter can truly be described as an insider tip: Thanks to the green oasis of Koellnischer Park and the almost sacral walls of Maerkisches Museum, the immediate neighborhood is quiet and almost village-like yet situated right in the center of Berlin. Koellnischer Park was built in the 18th/19th century on the site of a former fortress and is almost one hectare in size. The park is surrounded by architectural marvels from across the centuries. The quarter also possesses a touch of international flair, home to numerous embassies and their staff.
Relaxation can easily be found with a pleasant jog along the banks of the Spree River or a quiet walk in the nearby historical park. The district is on the up and has already been discovered by new restaurants and hotels. Over the next few years, this could well become one of the most sought-after locations in Berlin-Mitte. And, with direct links to Berlin's extensive transport network, Embassy is the ideal starting point for exploring the whole of Berlin. | <urn:uuid:9aa56db8-b65e-423d-b455-011a45a45766> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.luxuryestate.com/p66336265-penthouse-for-sale-berlin | 2019-07-24T02:12:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.946137 | 517 |
SALINAS — As the social worker interviewed Shaun and Delylah Tara and their older half sister in their dirty, cluttered apartment in this Central Valley town, cockroaches scurried across their bedroom walls.
On this Aug. 27 visit, the social worker with Monterey County Child Protective Services who started tracking the children and their guardian Tami Huntsman in April, made several observations: bruises and scratches on 6-year-old Shaun’s forehead. The 9-year-old sister’s shaved head caused by repeated lice treatments burning off her hair. The kids’ bloodied legs from scratching their many flea bites.
When the social worker asked Huntsman, 39, about the report her office received that Delylah, 3, was being tied to the bed as punishment, she denied it. The kids told her they felt safe, and she left the apartment.
She was the last social worker to see Shaun and Delylah alive.
On Dec. 11, Plumas County officials found their 9-year-old sister lying in a car with broken fingers, shoulder bones, a dislocated jaw, missing teeth, infested with lice and weighing only 40 pounds. Two days later, Shaun and Delylah were found dead in barrels kept in Huntsman’s storage locker in Redding; their horrific fate a national story. Huntsman and her 17-year-old boyfriend, Gonzalo Curiel, have since been charged with murder, torture and great bodily harm and are awaiting trial in Monterey County.
Questions have been raised about failures of social workers to follow state regulations and best practices in monitoring the three siblings’ deteriorating home life, but the 135 pages of CPS documents obtained by this newspaper also paint a tragic tale of young kids passed from one troubled family to another, forced to endure squalid living conditions and a chaotic existence.
‘Nobody else wanted to take us’
The Tara trio (the oldest surviving girl’s name was redacted in records) grew up in Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Social workers there made numerous visits to their home to investigate reports of neglect and abuse while under the care of their biological parents, according to records. In 2013, their mother committed suicide by jumping in front of a car, Huntsman told investigators.
Months later, their father, the biological dad of the two youngest and stepfather of the oldest, was sentenced to prison on drug charges. Before his incarceration, he asked Huntsman, his cousin, to care for the kids so they wouldn’t enter the “system,” Huntsman told social workers.
When one social worker asked the older daughter how they came to Huntsman’s care, the girl told her: “Nobody else wanted to take us, so she took and adopted us.”
In fact, Huntsman never adopted the children and had no legal guardianship. California law allows for such informal transfer of custodial rights to avoid the cost for families and overcrowded courts, said Bill Grimm, senior attorney for Oakland-based National Center for Youth Law. According to the Census, about 5 percent of children live in a house with neither parent.
Over the past year, Monterey County social workers continually asked Huntsman to go to probate court to get legal guardianship of the siblings, but she never did.
The children first landed on Monterey County social workers’ radar in April and May while investigating Huntsman for neglect. Someone had reported the kids home alone, and their school said the older girl wore the same sweater and ripped pants every day, looked unkempt, had lice and appeared frequently hungry, eating large amounts of food at lunch. She had 16 unexcused absences that year. School staff mentioned that Huntsman’s biological 12-year-old twins appeared in better shape.
The report found that 11 people lived in the tiny, cluttered apartment. During a visit, Shaun, a shy but polite boy, told the social worker that a teenage boy in the home “sometimes spanked him and his sister with belt.”
Huntsman told the social worker she did not know about the belt and it would “not be tolerated,” and attributed the truancy issues to a stalking issue with her ex-husband who had substance abuse problems, according to CPS notes. Huntsman said the teen, whose name was redacted, “was a kid from the neighborhood who was friends with her son, and she was helping take care of him.”
CPS concluded the allegations were “inconclusive” and said there was no imminent safety threat. Without immediate danger, any change in custody would need to be decided in court, the investigator wrote.
“While it is difficult, she wants to keep the children in her care because she made a promise to their father and also because they are like her family now,” she wrote.
On May 19, Monterey County social workers received a call that the children’s grandparents had been searching for Shaun, Delylah and their sister since their mother died. Huntsman told social workers the grandparents were not fit to care for the children, and neither Huntsman nor the grandparents filled out paperwork to formally request legal guardianship, social workers noted.
By August, CPS responded to another report, this time that all three kids were neglected, and that Delylah was tied to the bed when she would wet herself, among other allegations.
During the Aug. 27 visit the same social worker noticed bruises and scratches on Shaun’s forehead and that he had lost weight. The boy, first looking at his older sister before answering each question, said he slept on a toy and a kitten scratched him.
Grimm said it is difficult for social workers to get honest answers from children, especially when they are under duress.”They lost the two most important people in their lives, and now they’ve found some stability again,” he said. “And my guess is they’re being told, if you don’t stay here you’ll end up in foster care or worse.”
In her private interview with the kids, the social worker noted Huntsman remained within earshot in the tiny apartment, which had no bedroom doors.
“Should this family come to the attention of the Department again, it is highly recommended the children be interviewed privately,” she wrote.
That would never happen.
For a month, social workers left three voice mails, knocked on the door three times, wrote a letter and checked if the family’s address had changed on a benefits database, with no luck finding them. On Sept. 29, the same social worker who had visited the home and made the observations concluded the original referral was “inconclusive,” closed the case and wrote it was unknown if there was imminent safety threats because the assessment couldn’t be completed.
CPS social workers never indicated whether any neighbors or family were contacted asking the family’s whereabouts, even though Huntsman had relatives next door.
With the family still missing, on Oct. 16 Monterey County CPS received a call from the kids’ elementary school on the department’s abuse hotline.
The caller told a different social worker that the lice situation with the older sister continued, and that the girl told school staff she watches the kids alone at night while the adults leave. The girl also said Huntsman may have a relationship with a teenage boy and that the younger kids are being zip tied to the bed as punishment.
A call log indicates CPS asked Salinas police to conduct a health and welfare check at the house that night. The officers knocked, and no one answered.
The social worker noted that the allegations were “previously reported and investigated,” and no further investigation was conducted, according to records. State officials determined this violated regulations.
Shaun and Delylah were killed about a month later, according to state death reports. Neighbors said they saw Huntsman and Curiel moving out of the apartment around Thanksgiving, and law enforcement have said the children were not killed in the county they were found.
The surviving children have been taken into protective custody.

This recipe is a mix of two cultures. Malaysia was a British colony for about 150 years (1815-1957) so the mix of European cuisine (crepes) infused with local flavors (lime and coconut) is common. In the tropics, limes are more common than lemons (which are imported and expensive), so limes were commonly used as a replacement for lemons. Coconuts are affordable and readily available all year round. This is one of many crossover cuisines from Southeast Asia.
Crepes With Lime, Maple Syrup, and Toasted Coconut [Vegan]
- 1 cup buckwheat flour (175g)
- 1/2 cup rice flour (85g)
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour (60g)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (25g)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (2g)
- 1/4 cup vegan butter (35g), melted plus more for cooking
- 2/3 cup water (155ml)
- 2 cups plain almond milk (475ml)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla (15ml)
- Vegan Butter
- Fresh lime juice to taste
- Maple syrup to taste
- Toasted coconut flakes to taste
- Place all the crepe ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Transfer mixture to a blender and blend until smooth, about 1 minute on medium.
- Pour batter back into bowl, cover and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Heat 1 teaspoon (6g) of vegan butter in a nonstick pan (at least 8 inches in diameter) over medium heat.
- Pour in 1/4 cup (60g) of batter in the pan. You want to get the crepes thin and round. To do this, lift pan off from heat and move in circular motions while tipping the pan down so that the batter spreads into a thin circle about 6 inches in diameter.
- Cook for 40 seconds to 1 minute until the the crepe has holes and the edges are browned. Flip and cook for another 30-40 seconds.
- Add another teaspoon of vegan butter (6g) after every 3 or 4 crepes to keep them moist.
- Stack the crepes on a plate and repeat until the batter is gone.
- Heat a cast iron skillet on medium/low heat for 2 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup of coconut (40g) to the pan and cook until brown, 2 1/2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Spread a little vegan butter in each crepe, sprinkle with toasted coconut and either roll like a burrito or fold into quarters.
- Drizzle the top with lime juice, a little more coconut and maple syrup to your taste.
A non-stick pan will make your life easier and your crepes better. If you’re using a pan that is not non-stick, you may need to add a little more buttery spread. The batter will seem really thin; this is OK. The batter is meant to be thin. | <urn:uuid:17d55771-fc4a-4e0b-a612-9418c58cdd7a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/gluten-free-crepes-with-lime-maple-syrup-and-toasted-coconut/ | 2019-07-24T02:49:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.891548 | 635 |

Saint Louis University Joins the National Academy of Medicine in Commitment to Countering the Opioid Epidemic
Saint Louis University joins the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) and more than 100 other organizations to declare a commitment to reversing national trends in opioid misuse and overdose. The announcement was made at a meeting of NAM's Action Collaborative on Countering the U.S. Opioid Epidemic.
The 100-plus partner groups include community organizations, hospital and medical systems, academia, nonprofits and health professional societies. The full list of organizations is available at nam.edu/OpioidNetworkOrgs.
SLU is establishing a Center for Substance Use Disorders and Pain Management, which will support and advance excellence in education, research, clinical care, community engagement, public policy and health equity, says Fred Rottnek, M.D., professor of family and community medicine.
“The Center exemplifies the mission of a Catholic Jesuit research institution of higher education with a flagship university medical practice,” said Rottnek. “The center includes research, education, practice and service. This requires us to confront stigma and institutional racism and health inequities and to promote the health of individuals, families and communities.”
“SLU is a perfect set-up for addiction medicine because we have people working in each of those areas that we can say, ‘Okay, how do we keep building upon this expertise to find out how to help people thrive?’” Rottnek said.
The Center for Substance Use Disorders and Pain Management team includes Rottnek; Jennifer Bello Kottenstette, M.D., assistant professor of family and community medicine; Liz Chiarello, Ph.D., assistant professor of sociology; David Pole, Ph.D., assistant professor of family and community medicine and director of the Center for Interprofessional Education and Research; Daniela Salvemini, Ph.D., professor of pharmacology and physiology and director of the Henry and Amelia Nesrallah Center for Neuroscience; Jeffrey Scherrer, Ph.D., professor and research director of family and community medicine; and Jaye Shyken, M.D., associate professor of obstetrics, gynecology and women’s health and medical director of the WISH Center.
The number of opioid-related deaths — from both prescription opioids and illegal drugs including heroin, fentanyl and carfentanil — has quadrupled in the last 20 years. At present, the opioid epidemic claims 130 lives every day.
“The opioid epidemic is one of the most devastating public health crises of the modern era, impacting individuals, families, and communities across the nation,” said National Academy of Medicine President Victor J. Dzau.
“The complexity of this crisis requires sustained commitment from all stakeholders: health systems, federal and state governments, community organizations, provider groups, payers, industry, nonprofits, and academia. Reversing the opioid epidemic requires a multi-sectoral response — no organization, agency, or sector can solve this problem on their own.”
To provide an opportunity for organizations to discuss and share plans of action, the NAM recently called for and has collected statements describing current work and future goals to counter the opioid epidemic in the areas of health professional education and training; opioid prescribing guidelines and evidence standards; prevention, treatment, and recovery; and research, data, and metrics.
Founded in 2018 in collaboration with the Aspen Institute, the Action Collaborative on Countering the U.S. Opioid Epidemic is a public-private partnership committed to developing, curating and disseminating multi-sector solutions designed to reduce opioid misuse and improve outcomes for individuals, families, and communities affected by the opioid crisis.
The National Academy of Medicine, established in 1970 as the Institute of Medicine, is an independent organization of eminent professionals from diverse fields including health and medicine; the natural, social, and behavioral sciences; and beyond. It serves alongside the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering as an adviser to the nation and the international community. Through its domestic and global initiatives, the NAM works to address critical issues in health, medicine, and related policy and inspire positive action across sectors. The NAM collaborates closely with its peer academies and other divisions within the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
Established in 1836, Saint Louis University School of Medicine has the distinction of awarding the first medical degree west of the Mississippi River. The school educates physicians and biomedical scientists, conducts medical research, and provides health care on a local, national and international level. Research at the school seeks new cures and treatments in five key areas: cancer, liver disease, heart/lung disease, aging and brain disease, and infectious diseases. | <urn:uuid:3bc40188-9449-4de0-b9ed-1171e1e63a7b> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.slu.edu/news/2019/may/nam-opioid-commitment.php | 2019-07-24T02:52:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.929963 | 996 |
White Hat SEO was always important.
Jim, one of the SEO Alien’s collaborators, pointed out at minute 08:20 that nothing actually changed. It’s just that Google got really better at identifying who’s doing seo right and who is just trying to mess around with the Google algorithm (these are the black hat SEOs).
Also included in the webinar are some slides that show an interesting comparison of White-Hat vs Black-Hat.

Halloween is the perfect occasion for cooking up a terrifying treat in the kitchen. Our popcorn brains are frightfully tasty and just messy enough to provide fun for all the family!
You will Need:
- 150g white chocolate
- 150g marshmallows
- 25g unsalted butter
- A few drops of pink food colouring
- 30g sweet popcorn
- 4 tablespoons of seedless raspberry jam
Makes 6 monster brains
How to Make:
1. Line a tray with baking parchment and set aside.
2. Break up the chocolate and place into a non-reactive heatproof bowl along with the marshmallows and butter.
3. Melt the mixture in the microwave, or over a pan of simmering water, stirring regularly, until smooth.
4. Add a few drops of pink food colouring, mix through with a spatula for an even colour.
5. Fold in the popcorn.
6. Divide the mixture into six and roughly roll into balls. (Don't worry too much about neat shapes, the more irregular the shape the more convincing the brains will be!) Place each brain onto the prepared tray.
7. Allow to cool completely.
8. Meanwhile, place the jam into a saucepan and gently warm through so it is a smooth, pourable consistency.
9. Place a spoonful of jam onto each brain and let the jam drizzle and ooze down the sides of each brain.
- Forming the brain shapes can be a messy business; oiling the palms of your hands with just a little cooking oil first can help minimise the stickiness.
- For little monsters who aren't so keen on pink food simply swap out the pink food colouring for green to make monster bogeys instead! Omit the jam and add a sprinkle of 100s and 1000s.
We'd love to see your own versions of our Halloween Popcorn Monster Brains, so don't forget to #trimcraft and @elle_jane_ when uploading to social media! | <urn:uuid:c88ba4e2-9d77-430d-976d-aff0357aeb28> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.thecraftblog.com/blog/september-2018/halloween-party-food-elle%E2%80%99s-popcorn-monster-brain | 2019-07-24T02:48:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.875528 | 422 |

I’m reading Paul Zweig. This is the thirteenth poem in the third (“Eternity’s Woods”) section of his Selected and Last Poems, followed by my response. See here for details on this experiment in responsive reading.
Anything Long and Thin
by Paul Zweig
All traffickings upward out of the earth
Or sideways across it: longitudes,
Desperations; the glue of sentences . . .
[Remainder of poem removed 11-18-05]
* * * *
Consider what one might learn
by meditating on a corpse:
how the flesh can crawl, the bones
of a beautiful face break
the crust of fantasy like little moons
out of the ground, vacant snail-shells
still glistening with an off-white rheum.
Or consider swallowing two squares
of LSD & looking in the mirror:
what perfectly disintegrating visions
might be yours, & with what slight effort.
It’s exhilarating, really, to find this
blind matter – that it somehow coheres
despite its utter insensitivity to longing
or loneliness. It gives itself
only half-grudgingly to the chance
mouths of the shark or the brown bear.
True horror comes disguised
as cold necessity: learning about cells
in the fourth grade, our bodies began
to dissolve into prisons
or office towers populated by soft-
walled cubicles. Then atoms:
solar systems with pin-prick suns,
barely enclosed eternities
of inner space. The schoolroom clock
made a mockery of turning.
To know that emptiness, they suggested,
was to know ourselves. They could have said
that matter is incredibly rare,
a temporary resting state for energy.
They could have told us
about fictons, their mad spinning
that somehow keeps the lover’s caress
from encountering a null set,
bodies collapsing into a shrug
of cold fusion. What a comfort
it would’ve been, maybe,
to learn about the stubborn corpse
rippling outward for millions of years,
if only in bone shards or a line
of footprints in some fossilized beach
that come to a sudden end: indelible
record of buoyancy, & the killer wave.
For more on fictons, see here. Please note, however, that I mean something different from Robert Heinlein, whose fictons inhabited a thoroughly Newtonian, narrative space. My fictons are massless and carry a negative charge. | <urn:uuid:ef3b9518-b209-488b-8bfe-8ecd3d199679> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.vianegativa.us/2005/11/string-theories/ | 2019-07-24T02:12:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195530250.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20190724020454-20190724042454-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.889593 | 544 |

In my last paper: A Donor Within, it is explained how an existing trading strategy was modified to reach a higher performance level. The section: One More Thing, starting on page 30, goes through the process.
First, the desired expectations were put on paper before any testing: increase position size by a factor of 10, and then improve on the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for the 30 stock portfolio over the last 25 years. Needed software procedures were determined, then the program modified and debugged on a single stock.
It's only after the debugging that the strategy was put to the test on the whole portfolio, just once, and results recorded whatever they were (see Fig. 16 in the paper).
Changing the objectives did not require that much program modifications; all done within a few hours. Scaling up was easy: multiply the position size and the initial capital by 10. The answer to that was already known: A(t) = 10*A(0) + Σ(10*H.*ΔP) and is also known for any trading strategy. More elaborate program modifications would be required to increase the overall performance level. The program (now standing at 1,860 lines of Wealth-Lab code) answers to equation (6) in the paper:
A(t) = 10*A(0) + Σ(10*H(1 + gi + Ti)t.*ΔP).
To improve on performance, I wanted the reinvestment rate (gi) to rise a bit as well as the contribution from the trading activity (Ti) for each of the i stocks in the portfolio. But, you can increase the reinvestment policy rate only if you can generate more cash, this has to come from adding more profitable trades. You can add more profitable trades if the stock price movement itself can fluctuate enough and/or have sufficient reserves to do so. In a way, the higher the overall variance, the more you could trade, and the more you could trade, the more profits you could generate and the more shares you could accumulate.
This meant that having each stock with its own characteristic signature, each stock would behave differently and independently from each other even if at times some would move together. It was not just finding particularities or patterns in price movements, but finding stuff that would be valid for all stocks in the portfolio and for the 25-year interval of trading and investing.
The efforts, in modifying the program, were put on increasing the profitable trading activity over the entire 25 year holding period which had for a side effect to provide the needed cash to increase the reinvestment rate. No predictive powers at play, just the execution of what is implied in the equation itself.
Increasing the trading activity, within portfolio constraints, had the result to gradually pump new cash in the account which could then be reused depending on the reinvestment policies in place. To do this, I transformed the whole payoff matrix as a single block, all 195,000 data elements even before making the portfolio test. There were no surprises once the test was executed. It did as it was asked to do according to equation (6) and this from day 1 (see Fig. 16).
There was no optimization done either since none was needed or required. I would even add: very little could be done in the first place due to the nature of the strategy itself. There was only one portfolio test, no iterative process. All the program could do was follow equation (6).
Even if you wanted to optimize something, the question would be: optimize what? Certainly not a technical indicator, none were used. The trading strategy is based on random-like entries and by their very nature would be unpredictable. All one could do is say: do more of this or do less of that.
The strategy presented in the paper is not a conventional trading strategy. Instead of looking to optimize certain parameters or indicators, it executes mathematical rules and formulas. Its mission is to build a long-term portfolio. To do so, it is programmed to accumulate shares for the long term and trade over the process.
A Different View
This is a different approach to long-term trading. It's not strictly a Buy & Hold trading strategy, even if its first intention is just that. It's more like a weak holding strategy. For a profit, it will let go of some shares from time to time, and buy them back later at a discount. And with the generated profits will be able to buy a little bit more shares later on.
Equation (6) deals with the whole inventory matrix as a single block. It deals with a decision surrogate process which changes the inventory held over the entire investment/trading interval (25 years). The buy matrix B has all its entries the result of random functions. Doing another backtest would, therefore, give totally different trades, but would still end up with close to the same answer due mainly to the sheer number of generated trades.
From Equation (6), it is also implied that one could take an ordinary trading strategy H(?) and transform it to comply with equation (6) thereby improving its performance. Each trading strategy has its own signature, each has the original equation: A(t) = A(0) + Σ(H(?).*ΔP), then equation (6) would transform such a program to produce more. One, by scaling it up; two, by finding ways to increase the position size with time; and three, by making a better stock selection.
In my article: Winning by Default, the following chart is shown:
Portfolio Inventory Level (50 Years)
(click to enlarge)
It shows the accumulating inventory over time (blue area) which is the result of the equation: A(t) = A(0) + Σ(H(1 + gi + Ti)t.*ΔP). As can be observed, it starts small and grows with time. Note that the chart is based on another trading strategy tested on 50 years of data on 985 stocks part of the Russell 1000 index. The strategy maintains its exponential inventory curve throughout, over the 50 years covered by that strategy. Even if the chart is based on another strategy, the same curve structure would apply to the DEVX V6 trading system. It's just that the numbers would be larger, but the curve would have about the same shape: exponential.
Can the DEVX V6 strategy be improved? Sure, no problem there. One can improve the results for equation (6) by raising the reinvestment policy rate higher by first increasing the trading activity. Since the strategy is scalable, it could also be multiplied by a factor of 10 again with the added 10 times more in initial capital. Another way would be to increase, with time, the number of stocks to be handled by the payoff matrix. The above example had 985 stocks in inventory, and on the DEVX V6 system would generate extraordinary results.
There are many examples of strategy transformations of this kind with some conversions on my site. These strategies were all modified to deal with the same basic principle: accumulate shares for the long term and trade over the process. They were made to answer to the equation: A(t) = A(0) + Σ(H(1 + gi + Ti)t.*ΔP). They all don't give the same answers, and for sure they shouldn't, since the kind of generated trading activity is different in all cases. But one point in common will be found, and that is they all exceeded their long-term Buy & Hold trading strategy.
It is easy to understand why all my trading strategies outperform the Buy & Hold. They simply reinvest most of the ongoing generated profits instead of leaving them idle. It's like getting interest on interest on interest and so on... well, everyone should get the point.
It was a major undertaking to write A Donor Within; took about three months of rewrites, validating everything that was being said. The pledge was serious business and was not taken lightly. It is what I can do.
I designed something that goes beyond my own resources, way beyond, much bigger than I am, and it turns out even bigger than anything initially anticipated. So much bigger, that it could have an impact on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and help them do so much more.
Anyone could have designed such a program, and I do mean anyone. There are no special skills needed. After all, it answers to a single equation which has for payoff matrix: A(t) = A(0) + Σ(H(1 + gi + Ti)t.*ΔP) and this translates to accumulate shares for the long term and trade over the process. Not a concept that is that hard to understand. You want the payoff matrix to do more, you simply give it what it needs, it is responding to an exponential function as shown in the above chart.
Maybe what surprises me most is: how come no one has done this before? I've read over 500 academic papers and theses relating to all aspects of stock investing and have not seen a trace of what is implied in the above equation. But one thing is sure, it is available now. | <urn:uuid:b8b119ab-cc43-409a-a83c-40c831a0856c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://alphapowertrading.com/index.php/12-research-papers/98-a-unique-approach | 2019-07-16T19:13:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.966714 | 1,912 |
One of my first professors of poetry was Dr. Henry Quintero. While his lectures were full of intensity and a passion for what he did, it was how he ended his classes that taught me the most. While his students packed up their backpacks and filed out the door, Dr. Q would stand up and in that wonderful, warm, booming voice of his he would tell us to take care of ourselves because you are the most important piece of poetry you will write.
Dr. Quintero taught me that poetry is less of an art form, strict and unforgiving then it is an action. The actions we go through each day and the experiences that we share with other people in our lives. When reading poetry, I am looking for action and reaction. For a truly strong voice to jump out through the pages, making it impossible not to give that voice the space and attention it craves. Consider the work of Lorna Dee Cervantes, a proud Chicana whose works include “Emplumada” and “Sueño”. Cervantes knows how to use her actions to get the reader to pay attention, implementing line break and rhythm like just another tool in her toolbox. She writes about immigration and Chicano heritage but refuses to let her words stand alone. Her poetry is presented with action, purposeful line breaks and meaningful rhythmic and repeating phrases. These are some things that I read for in a poem for publication, mechanisms that work to expand the main idea and a speaker who is not afraid to use them. This is the poetry that brought me to creative writing; poems that speak through their actions and the people who read them.

Black Summer on Netflix location: Where is Black Summer filmed? Where’s it set?
Black Summer is available to stream and download on Netflix now. There are eight episodes in the terrifying series, each around 30 minutes long in length. Black Summer was created by Karl Schaefer and Z Nation’s John Hyams and stars Hart of Dixie’s Jaime King.
Where is Black Summer set?
Black Summer is set in the early days of a zombie apocalypse.
The series follows Rose (played by Jaime King) as she tries to find her daughter in amongst the terrifying surroundings.
The survivors of the zombie apocalypse are trying to reach a military evacuation site.
However, the zombies are also trying to sabotage their journey to safety.
Speaking at Comic-Con in 2018, showrunner Karl Schaefer explained the setting of Black Summer.
He revealed the show is set four months into a zombie apocalypse, in the height of summer.
In the summer alone, 95 percent of the population died.
He went on to describe Black Summer as “super scary and intense.”
HOW MANY EPISODES ARE IN BLACK SUMMER?
Black Summer is a prequel to Z Nation and is set in the same universe as the horror series.
Z Nation was set three years into a zombie apocalypse whereas Black Summer follows the very beginnings.
The fifth and final season of Z Nation concluded in December 2018 on Syfy.
Schaefer said: “Black Summer is before the apocalypse got weird and was just scary.”
No character from Z Nation appears in Black Summer on Netflix.
Speaking to Mandy News about Black Summer, producer and director Jodi Linstock said: “It’s interesting, in the series that I’m producing for Netflix, Black Summer, we’ve taken a completely different approach in that it’s much more like a chapter in a book.
“You don’t necessarily do the cliffhangers on a commercial break – it’s keeping you going so that you’ve got to binge it.
“Black Summer in its inception was originally thought of as a spin off of Z Nation but it’s not exactly.
“Black Summer is referred to in Z Nation as the summer where everything went to hell, so that is where Black Summer picks up.”
HOW TO WATCH BLACK SUMMER ONLINE
Where is Black Sumer filmed?
Black Summer was filmed in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Calgary is Alberta’s largest city and was home to the 1988 Winter Olympic Games.
Filming began in July 2018 and wrapped up in September 2018.
Notable filming locations include the Calgary Tower and Queen Elizabeth School.
The River Avenue Bridge over the Bow River in Cochrane features in episode two of Black Summer.
The same bridge was used to films several scenes in Sky Atlantic’s Tinstar.
WHO IS IN THE CAST OF BLACK SUMMER?
The rural towns of Irricana and Bieseker were also used as filming locations for Black Summer.
According to Three Hills Capital, Irricana was used to film some scenes where the zombies were located and Bieseker was home to a car chase.
During filming, King was hospitalised of three days after an injury she received on set filming the finale.
The actress wrote in a lengthy Instagram post that she had suffered “lots of broken and torn things.”
On the other hand, Z Nation was mainly filmed in Spokane, Washington DC.

I know what it’s like to love a pet so much that they are one of the family. I can immortalise your favourite furry family member in an original artwork pet portrait that captures their essence.
I’ll happily paint a wonderful portrait of people too – whether it is to honour a special person, or to remember a magical wedding day. John was so happy with “Deep Forest” that he secretly commissioned me to paint their children for his wife Lorraine’s 40th birthday, and when the painting was unveiled at the party under the marquee, she lost her place in her speech and had to grab for a tissue she was so overwhelmed and happy!
To book your pet portrait please call the gallery on (07) 3202 9991 or email us via the Contact page. | <urn:uuid:b506e7bd-9cec-4aca-8496-ab2c575778c0> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://jacquelinehill.com/pet-portraits/ | 2019-07-16T19:23:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.980495 | 165 |
Dear Mayor, City Council, Superintendent, School Board, and citizens,
It appears very likely that California’s economy will crash, and it will likely happen in November. If that does not happen, it will happen in March or November of next year. The Democrats have been misusing money for decades, and now it is time to pay the piper. So, hopefully you will stop all unnecessary expenditures. Further, it’s likely this state will split in two. The Democrat party is going to be destroyed in this state, and in this nation. It is utterly corrupt and wicked, and cannot be redeemed. Those of you who have been Democrats for years, it is time to leave. This is your warning. I rarely make predictions, but they always come to pass when I do.
China’s dirty and filthy communist fingerprints are all over California politics. While the dumb media keeps blathering on about the stupid Russian Collusion hoax, when Russia doesn’t have half of the citizens we do, and her economy is in shambles, the real threat is China. Dianne Feinstein had a communist spy for 20 years, as her chauffeur. Is it any wonder the Democrats were the ones responsible for simultaneously weakening our nation’s military and our local economy by shutting down Mare Island? Communists are notorious for investing in groups that spread race hatred in America. The KGB has tried to sow propaganda to stir up race hatred for decades
Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat her mistakes. Since Democrats do not know history, they have no future. You are all welcome, those of you who already have not, to join the GOP, and we will be having a meeting at the Cordelia Denny’s at 7 tomorrow evening. At the very least, you can expose yourself to opposite viewpoints. The powerful Democrats many of you look up to, aren’t worth being idolized. That we have a single Democrat in public office is a testament to the naivete, gullibility, and corruption of the voters they represent. That is why I was not elected, because the media and schools have brainwashed Democrats to hate the truth, and to love lies. I’m not going away, and neither are my fellow conservatives. Allied with truth, righteousness, and God, victory is assured, inevitably. We have nothing to fear from the left at all. Their shrieking, shouting, screaming, interrupting, threatening, harassment, and intimidation are their attempts to keep power and pelf for themselves.
Many times in history the wealthy and seemingly invincible have been rudely thrown down and disgraced overnight. That happened to Nebuchadnezzar and Belshezzar. The former was a powerful King and was humbled overnight. The latter was again a powerful King, and was having a party, when the following night, he was conquered, and his power was no more.
Hopefully, we will never again in Vallejo, have another celebration of an ethnicity. These celebrations are quite racist, for they seek to celebrate skin color, while at the same time exciting envy and jealousy in other races. It’s extremely foolish to continue them. Whether the celebration is of latinos, blacks, asians, indians, or any race whatsoever, we should not be celebrating skin color, we should be celebrating character. Also, the people who are celebrated for their skin color often stagnate intellectually. They think there is nothing else to do in life. If ever they want something, they holler about being deprived because of their race, and they often get it. When people are no longer judged and appreciated just for their skin color, but are judged and appreciated based on merit, skill, and achievement, we will return to the massively innovative, successful, peaceful, prosperous, and happy society we once were.
In conclusion, since it’s likely we will have dozens of people at our next City Council Meeting to protest the myth of ‘police brutality’, ‘systemic racism’, and ‘systemic inequality’, demanding justice for imaginary injustices, we need to all understand what Critical Race Theory is, how dangerous it is, and how it is at the root of all the conflicts and eruptions at City Hall lately. Of course, practically all of Vallejo sympathizes with the relatives of those who perished in interactions with the police. But, we never seem to hear of the controversial situations surrounding those deaths, and the sorrow of the relatives is fanned into terror and chaos when they are lied to by organizations outside of Vallejo into thinking that the police relish and enjoy killing black and brown people, and that it is a personal goal of the police department. Now, there is little to no reasoning that can be done with these protesters. They view the police as completely evil, with no exceptions, and it’s all because they are deceived. Notice, that the majority of blacks in Vallejo avoid these protests because they realize they are based on a false narrative. So, the deceived relatives go outside of Vallejo to Marxist, near terrorist organizations, and true to form, these organizations come to Vallejo and cause chaos. Did you ever see Martin Luther King Jr. interrupting a public meeting, shouting, using profanity, and publicly threatening public officials? No, you did not. But, we see this constantly from the near terrorist activist groups who have invaded our City Hall, and are spreading anarchy. They claim they are victims as they terrorize the city. The inmates are running the asylum.
The following is an article from Richard Jack Rail, from American Thinker, on the aforementioned Critical Race Theory.
Critical Race Theory holds that American society is irredeemably racist in favor of the white majority. The thinking is that in a racially oppressive society, though you may also have in common with another your sex, your likes or dislikes, your religion, your political ideas, even your disposition, ethnic commonality or skin color matters beyond anything else. For this reason, only someone of your ethnicity can ever really understand you or grasp your deep-down motives for your actions.
Given the overarching, omnipresent racial-ethnic oppression, what matters isn’t so much facts as they happened but a narrative that takes precedence if something could have happened in the given circumstance. The idea is that the oppression makes things happen on its own because it so overwhelms everything else, and justice needs to take this into account in determining guilt. This is how people arrive at the notion that blacks can’t be racist or, indeed, guilty of much of anything. A black can never overcome the all-dominating oppression. It’s all white people’s fault. Whites can’t escape their guilt by being innocent in their own lives; they’re part of the white system and therefore guilty of pretty much everything.
The narrative part of CRT is what concerns us here. It was adduced by apologists for Rigoberta Menchú, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for political activism, largely with her autobiography I, Rigoberta Menchú. Purportedly about her life growing up Maya in the mountains of Guatemala, Menchú made herself out to be a poor girl who overcame the horror of her family being murdered by racist Guatemalan soldiers when she was a child. Her family actually was murdered, but when it happened, Menchú wasn’t a little girl; she was grown and educated and committed to Marxism. Her autobiography was more on the order of Barack Obama’s Dreams from My Father, an amalgam of things that did happen and things that didn’t, with a whole lot of imagination mixed in.
Menchú did face horrific racist oppression and suffered in her personal life from it, but the book was largely fabrication. Nevertheless, it could have happened, so the Nobel Committee, aggrieved by the crimes of white people everywhere against nonwhite peoples everywhere, fell in love with it. There was good reason at the time of the committee’s deliberations to believe that the story was a hoax, but it was just too fitting-the-moment to pass up. No doubt the committee felt obligated to go with Menchú even if she did take liberties with the truth.
Why does it matter? Because facts matter. They matter because they reflect the moral choices made by all the actors in a given situation. Had Menchú presented her story as a novel, no problem; it’s the province of novels to work with the what-if aspect of the human imagination, to explore possibilities and reveal hidden truths. Biographies, on the other hand, are supposed to be facts as best as they can be discovered, leading to conclusions grounded in the actions of moral beings responsible for themselves. Mixing up the two results in confusing fact with fiction. When this happens, anything goes.
Why does this matter today? Because it’s creeping into Chicago politics — and from there into America’s politics via the justice system — through the Jussie Smollett case. Smollett lied about being attacked by white racists. He set it all up and carried it out, hiring two men to “beat him up” and leave a noose around his neck. Chicago police investigated and discovered that the whole thing was a hoax. State’s attorney Kim Foxx arranged for the charges to be dropped and Smollett’s record expunged.
Foxx defended her actions by saying that what mattered was changing the narrative of the school-to-prison pipeline for blacks, and putting Smollett in jail would have continued that narrative since Smollett’s black. That Smollett actually did what he was charged with didn’t matter. The facts had to yield to the narrative.
That was a dangerous precedent. “Could have happened” is no basis for justice, and we need to squelch this effort to undermine the legal system. Almost anybody could have murdered, or stolen from, or raped, or hit over the head, somebody else. This mode of thinking would make us all guilty ahead of time because we could never escape the “could have” cornerstone.
CRT has been seeping into the justice system since the eighties and has arrived full force in Chicago. It must be expunged before it corrupts American justice entirely. | <urn:uuid:ed9195ec-d601-401b-9ca8-5d93986c9ecd> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://messanonews.com/2019/05/19/ | 2019-07-16T19:36:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.972591 | 2,150 |

In the first of what we fear will be many posts regarding the tragic shootings in Colorado (as reported by MSNBC, CNN, Fox News and all other major news outlets) we would like to introduce you to Louie Gohmert, a sad, angry little congressman from Texas.
“You know what really gets me, as a Christian, is to see the ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian beliefs, and then some senseless crazy act of a derelict takes place.” … “Some of us happen to believe that when our founders talked about guarding our virtue and freedom, that that was important,” he said. “Whether it’s John Adams saying our Constitution was made only for moral and religious people … Ben Franklin, only a virtuous people are capable of freedom, as nations become corrupt and vicious they have more need of masters. We have been at war with the very pillars, the very foundation of this country.”
(While he is correct that Adams was quite pro-religion Franklin most assuredly was not. However both men were major, outspoken proponents of the separation of church and state; a fact that clearly eludes representative Gohmert.)
In a rambling conclusion Gohmert intimates that the recent challenges to the Separation of Church and State may be preventing God from intervening in situation like this:
“People say … where was God in all of this? We’ve threatened high school graduation participations, if they use God’s name, they’re going to be jailed … I mean that kind of stuff. Where was God? What have we done with God? We don’t want him around. I kind of like his protective hand being present.”
While a defense can (and most likely will) be made that the congressmen never actually related today’s events to his beliefs it’s very difficult for reasonable people not to take that message away from his comments.
Yes, blowhards will be blowhards, but to Gohmert decided to use this tragedy for his political gain before the bodies even had a chance to cool – in fact less than 9 hours from the murders. For that he easily earns a sentence of Federal Felony Dickory in the First Degree.
His comments relating the founding fathers are true, but misleading and self-serving, which adds an additional charge of Douchbaggery in the Third Degree. | <urn:uuid:faa87ef5-af6a-4b71-a624-00358622b9c8> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://sadpolitics.com/2012/07/20/tradgedy-breeds-dumbassery/ | 2019-07-16T19:11:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.974698 | 504 |

Telos has recently signed up a new collection of original horror and dark fantasy fiction from the acclaimed and award-winning author Sam Stone. Zombies in New York and Other Bloody Jottings will be published by Telos (£12.99) in February 2011, with a launch at the LA Doctor Who event, Gallifrey One. The cover art is by BFS Award-winning artist Vincent Chong with internal illustrations by Russell Morgan.
“Something is sapping the energy of the usually robust dancers of the Moulin Rouge … Jack the Ripper’s crimes are investigated by a vampire … zombies roam the streets of New York … Clowns die in mysteriously humorous ways … Welcome to the poetic and horrific world of Sam Stone, where a vampire becomes obsessed with a centuries-old werewolf, and Angels are stalking the undead. Walk through the haunting world of the Toymaker and be hypnotised by the Siren’s Song. Fourteen stories of horror and passion and six mythological and erotic poems from the pen of the new Queen of Vampire fiction. Chick-slash has never been so entertaining!â€
Sam Stone made an enormous impact with her trilogy of Vampire novels, the Vampire Gene series (which are available from Murky Depths). There is already film interest in the tales.
“I wanted to do a collection to experiment with genres and styles,†says Sam Stone. “As well as my interest in horror fiction, I also love crime fiction, particularly psychological thrillers, and writing a collection of short stories gave me the opportunity to broaden my horizons in terms of the content, style and even voice that I used.â€
Zombies in New York and Other Bloody Jottings can be pre-ordered at www.telos.co.uk. Signed copies will also be available. Sam Stone is available for interviews, talks and signing events to promote the book. Please contact Telos to organise. | <urn:uuid:6881b6d3-279e-4fc5-9f4a-942f6cf984b0> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.britishfantasysociety.org/authors/the-zombies-in-new-york-by-sam-stone/ | 2019-07-16T19:09:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.934527 | 417 |
It had been rumored, for many years, that Michael Jackson composed some of the music for the game Sonic The Hedgehog 3. This was finally confirmed by Brad Buxer in 2009 who worked with Jackson on the music in 1994.
A French magazine asked Buxer for clarification on the rumor regarding their work on the game, to which he responded:
“I’ve never played the game so I do not know what tracks on which Michael and I have worked the developers have kept, but we did compose music for the game. Michael called me at the time for help on this project, and that’s what I did. And if he is not credited for composing the music, it’s because he was not happy with the result sound coming out of the console. At the time, game consoles did not allow an optimal sound reproduction, and Michael found it frustrating. He did not want to be associated with a product that devalued his music…”
When asked specifically about the similarity between one of the tracks in the game and Michael Jackson’s “Stranger in Moscow” song Buxer replied:
“Yes, Michael and I had composed those chords for the game, and it has been used as base for Stranger in Moscow.”
It was also rumored that MJ’s name wasn’t credited for the music, due to the fact Sega quickly ended partnership with Jackson, as the soundtrack was completed because the child abuse scandals surfaced.
Check out this investigation that finds parts of MJ songs “Jam”,” Stranger In Moscow” & “Who Is It” in Sonic The Hedgehog 3. “Stranger In Moscow” has all the same chord progression as the song used on the ending credits of the game. | <urn:uuid:fc238158-7143-45b7-890c-bf9b940067cf> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.feelnumb.com/2010/06/25/michael-jackson-composed-sonic-the-hedgehog-3-tracks-then-used-some-of-them-for-his-songs/ | 2019-07-16T18:15:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.980254 | 373 |
Financial Assistance and Scholarships
Financial assistance mainly comes from two sources, the government and PolyU. Students are strongly advised to ensure their eligibility in applying for different financial assistance schemes.
The government has two main schemes for local full-time students in government-funded programmes: The Tertiary Student Finance Scheme ─ Publicly-funded Programmes (TSFS) and The Non-means-tested Loan Scheme for Full-time Tertiary Students (NLSFT).
The TSFS is a means-tested scheme that offers grants for tuition fees and academic expenses, and loans for living expenses.
The NLSFT offers interest-bearing loans to eligible students to cover tuition fees. The NLSFT are not means-tested – there is no assessment of your family's income and assets. Applications periods open for current students and new students for the coming academic year fall in April and September, respectively.
In addition, PolyU operates financial assistance schemes for local full-time students in government-funded programmes. The schemes are means-tested which offer bursary and / or interest-free loan donated by generous donors to eligible needy students.
For further information, please click here.
Entry Scholarships for Outstanding Admittees
PolyU accords recognition to outstanding students admitted to its programmes and grants scholarships of various amounts to students on the basis of academic merit or non-academic achievements (e.g. with prizes/awards received in internationally recognised competitions).
- A university scholarship is guaranteed if you are a school leaver taking IB / GCE A-Level / International Advanced Levels (IAL) examinations at your first attempt, meet the University’s General Entrance Requirements for Degree programmes, and fulfil any one of the following results:
IAL Requirements (Excluding Chinese subject)
|1||45||3A*||Renewable full-tuition scholarship (subject to meeting the required conditions for scholarship renewal) plus a one-off allowance of HK$35,000|
|2||42-44||2A*+1A||One-off full-tuition scholarship|
|3||39-41||1A*+2A||One-off half-tuition scholarship|
|4||36-38||3A||One-off scholarship of HK$10,000|
Applicants will be awarded a non-academic scholarship if they have met the University's General Entrance Requirements for degree/higher diploma programmes and have very outstanding achievements in a non-academic area (such as art, leadership, music, sports or service) or have applied via the Outstanding Sportsmen Recommendation Scheme (OSRS). Recipients are awarded non-academic scholarships for amounts ranging from HK$10,000 to the annual tuition fee, renewable subject to meeting the required conditions.
Notwithstanding the above, applicants will only be considered for their first programme choice for the non-academic scholarship (as of early March for OSRS).
How can I apply for a University scholarship?
There is no need for students to apply separately for entry scholarships. The University will identify qualified applicants*, and will inform them of the award of scholarships after the commencement of the school term.
* An admittee can concurrently hold more than one scholarship administered by the University in an academic year if the total value of scholarships received by him/her does not exceed his/her annual tuition fee payable plus an allowance of HK$40,000 unless otherwise stipulated.
Post-entry Scholarships and Prizes
Post-entry scholarships and prizes, ranging in value from around HK$8,000 to HK$40,000 each, are normally available to full-time government-funded undergraduate students. These scholarships and prizes are usually awarded on academic merits and / or according to other specific conditions as stipulated by the donors.
For most scholarships and prizes, candidates are nominated by the Heads of academic departments, but some scholarships and prizes are open to competition. For details, please click here.
PolyU reserves the right to change the terms or withdraw the above scholarships. In case of any dispute / disagreement, PolyU’s decision is final. | <urn:uuid:fb357ec8-7a85-47b5-98f7-dc1dea7d5904> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www51.polyu.edu.hk/eprospectus/ug/non-jupas/financial-assistance-and-scholarships | 2019-07-16T19:37:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.932792 | 859 |

Alex is an American filmmaker, raised and based in Munich, Germany.
He has created numerous commercial films, music videos and short docs for clients like Adidas, Bugatti, BMW, Canon, Louis Vuitton, Vogue, Red Bull, Belvedere and Sony Music with his main focus on directing and writing.
His roots in filmmaking derive from his love for snowboarding where he kickstarted his job as producer, director, editor and cinematographer for award winning snowboarding films from 1999 until 2013. Working in uncontrolled environments and traveling the world for over a decade taught him how to improvise and work with unforeseen situations. This also shaped his love for documentary-style storytelling.
His time at art school guided his vision in photography and graphic design which led to a profound understanding of image composition and expressing creativity.
When not creating commercial films, Alex is developing and producing his own passion projects which are closest to his heart and express his personal vision of film.
Alex's style and cinematic approach are influenced by modern cinema, graphic design, action sports and visually stunning documentaries. | <urn:uuid:38534a84-bbc0-4bc9-9f50-0e14e1994b27> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://alexschiller.net/about/ | 2019-07-16T18:34:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.972703 | 218 |
The Mono Vampire Basketball Club will be fighting for their season in Game 2 of their semifinals matchup against the BTN CLS Knights Indonesia this Wednesday at Stadium 29 in Thailand.
Game 1 was an intense physical matchup between the two proud squads with the fourth-seed Knights coming away with an 86-77 victory over the eighth-seed Mono Vampire in Indonesia. Maxie Esho led all scorers with 21 points.
The Indonesians outscored their opponent 23-8 in the third quarter that shifted the momentum of the contest. Locals Brandon Jawato and Arif Hidayat instigated that run. Jawato finished with 18 points and five boards while Hidayat was a pristine 4-for-4 from the field for 11 points. For Mono Vampire, Romeo Travis collected a double-double of 16 points and 13 rebounds.
But the Knights did not go unscathed. They allowed Mono Vampire to get back in the ball game late in the fourth quarter. Although the Knights had enough cushion in the end, they allowed Mono to gain confidence. Furthermore, the altercation between Jawato and Nopporn Saengtong might hurt them in the long run. The two got into each other under a minute remaining and as a result, both were ejected. And because they were hit with a disqualifying foul each, they will be suspended for Game 2. Jawato, who’s the top local scorer for Indonesia, will be missed for the second game in Thailand.
Mono Vampire can capitalize on their home court. They will sorely need the production of Tyler Lamb, Malcolm White, and their main man Michael Singletary. Lamb returned to action after his one-game absence due to injury. Though he did have nine points, he was responsible for five turnovers. White had 10 points but he only had five rebounds. And as for Singletary, the top gun for Mono, coughed up nine points on 2-for-10 shooting. He had 12 rebounds and six assists, but he needs to put more points on the board for Game 2.
The Knights are now one win away from not only sweeping Mono Vampire, but more importantly, from entering the ABL Finals to face the Singapore Slingers. But Mono Vampire, who have shown their resiliency throughout the season, will be leaving it out on the floor in an attempt to extend the series. | <urn:uuid:9fdbbdb2-e432-4720-926c-347ca34a06e1> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://aseanbasketballleague.com/game-preview-mono-vampire-basketball-club-vs-btn-cls-knights-indonesia-semifinals-g2/ | 2019-07-16T18:24:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.969788 | 484 |

Macon, GA – Now expertly trained surgeons at the Coliseum Robotics Institute located at Coliseum Medical Centers will have the capabilities of repairing ventral hernias using robotically-assisted surgery. The first robot-assisted Ventral Hernia Repair (VHR) was completed successfully at the Coliseum Robotics Institute on Thursday, September 11th.
In the past, Ventral Hernia Repair — the second most common type of abdominal wall hernia repair — has been done laprascopically, which can have some limitations. In offering the Ventral Hernia Repair robotically, surgeons are able to complete the procedure in less time than the laprascopic method with additional benefits that the da Vinci Robot provides.
The da Vinci robot offers more precise and ergonomic capabilities using magnified 3D HD vision and is articulated robotic arms controlled completely by the surgeon. The results of a robotically-assisted Ventral Hernia Repair for the patient include minimal blood loss, minimal post-operative pain, and a faster recovery period, allowing the patient to quickly return to a pain-free lifestyle. | <urn:uuid:e7612fe8-bf14-435d-af83-6d231cbb9935> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://coliseumhealthsystem.com/about/newsroom/abdominal-hernias-now-repaired-using-robot-assisted | 2019-07-16T19:24:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.925297 | 225 |
Top WordPress Content Builders
Having an online presence is the most effective way for you to build your brand. Regardless of whether or not it’s a personal or business site, constructing a recognizable face on the internet is the fastest way to gather friends and influence people. You don’t have to be a celebrity to have followers or a fan base; all you need is a kickass website to showcase engaging and original content.
Thanks to WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) page editors, you can make one all on your own even if you know diddly squat about coding, HTML5, and all the rest.
The best WYSIWYG page editors plug straight into your WordPress theme. For those who are really new to this, you need to know that WordPress is free to use, and if you don’t want to pay for web hosting, it will even let you publish your website on theirs for free. It comes with all the basic tools for making a website, but of course it has limited features, so if you want your website to pop, you will have to invest in more advanced page building tools. (And you really ought to invest in your own web hosting service and domain name.) How to make a website or how to start your blog using WordPress and helpful easy builder follow those tutorial.
Below are some of the top WordPress content builders out there that anyone can learn to use.
If you’re after uber-simplicity, you should check out ElegantBuilder. It has a super user-friendly graphical interface, that wouldn’t deign to intimidate even the most clueless of amateurs. When creating your first layout, just drag and drop your columns into the layout editor and then choose from one of the 17 customizable elements (or modules, if you wish) to tweak your theme to perfection.
But it’s not all roses. To keep ElegantBuilder so easy to use, there are some important features and functionalities that aren’t available. There are no social media sharing icons for one thing, although there is a workaround to this problem using widgets.
Themify works both as an independent page builder, and as a WordPress plugin. So if you want to test a different CMS, this is a good builder to try out. It’s easy to use and comes with 18 different standard elements that you can add to each page.
Like ElegantBuilder, it doesn’t include social media buttons, but you can add sliders, maps, and widgets. Also like ElegantBuilder, it has a user-friendly interface, and making a customized layout takes only a short time. However, you cannot create templates and there is no import/export option, so you have to build each page from scratch. You can duplicate a page but any changes to the original page won’t be reflected in the duplicates.
As one would expect, layouts for this builder are completely responsive, and will render well on any device. A very useful web builder for any designer who values flexibility.
The keyword when examining this web builder is usability. MotoPress Content Editor is a true drag and drop system, as it completely eliminates the need for using adjusting code. Here’s a short list of some of its more outstanding functions:
It has a handy preview feature so you can see how your page will actually look on the backend
Compatible with all WordPress widgets
It comes with premium support as well
MotoPress’ user interface is a bit different; in the layout editor your working area is in the center and the 25 available elements for use are displayed in the column on the left. These include social media sharing buttons, and the usual images, video, and sliders, plus custom menus. To customize elements, you click on it and the options appear on the right.
In general, creating a page in Motopress takes a bit longer than most other WYSIWYG drag and drop plugins, but it is still very easy to use.
Visual Composer is a page builder plugin from CodeCanyon which came out in 2011. It gives you a choice of more than 40 content elements to use. Examples include:
Social media sharing icons
And easy translation for mobile devices
Visual Composer makes it really easy to create outstanding looking layouts with minimal effort. The layout menu allows you to play around with the look of page; simply drag and drop rows and columns that you want to add anywhere on the page. Once you get the look you want, you can save the layout as a template, so you can easily duplicate it for other sections on your website for a consistently branded aesthetic.
Visual Composer also has visual query builder. In case you’re unfamiliar, a query builder is just a set of instructions which tells your program to retrieve media from a given location and display it on your website according to your specifications.
With WYSIWYG the interface is all visual, so you’ll be able to customize your layout quickly, and with only the smallest bit of panic-stricken hair pulling. Just kidding (mostly).
Visual Composer is a good mix of ease and function. Click the link above for a deeper look.
And then we come to PageLines DMS. Unlike the first four plugins which are easy to understand from the get go, PageLines DMS is a bit alarming. You will need to do some to-ing and fro-ing before you get the hang of it. But once you do, the work goes much smoother.
The major problem with PageLines DMS is that it tried to be all things to everyone. It falls a bit short in the ease of use area, because while it is possible to build a page without using code, customizing some of the essential elements still requires some coding knowledge.
For the development educated, however, the plugin provides a wide range of features that would do any halfway decent web designer proud. The drag-and-drop experience can be a bit unwieldy because the pages in question will change sizes depending on the item being dropped. This can displace the other elements you’ve already set on the page.
But if you don’t plan to monkey around with the elements and are happy to just add them to an existing layout, this can be a fantastic way to build templates in WordPress.
Each of these plugins have one thing in common: they are easy to use for someone who is not code-savvy and have little ambition to set the world on fire. The added features in the more complicated plugins that may need some code intervention are there but need not be used, so that is not a drawback.
Some are easier to use than the others, and that can work for a no-frills website project. In other words, the plugin that will win the award will depend on the needs of the user.
If you are having a hard time deciding, don’t sweat it. These plugins have a free trial period so that you can check them out without committing any of your hard-earned cash. When you find the one that works for you, take the plunge. Enjoy!

I came across this quote today and it made me smile 🙂
Tag Archives: quotations
It is true to say that I have been in a rut writing-wise recently. Lots of ideas floating around but no drive or confidence to get them down on paper. These writing lulls can be a bit scary really because it feels like I’m at the bottom of a huge mountain without the equipment or know-how to begin the climb. And at times like these that you need a bit of inspiration to get you through.
The other day I came across this quote by MAYA ANGELOU which was a big help:
“The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart.”
To those of you are on a writing roll – enjoy the ride!
And for those of you stuck in a rut, I say, for what it’s worth – try not to panic and make way for inspiration to find you. | <urn:uuid:22c0d135-c791-4303-9d49-fc671bc2b2d0> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://ellaslayne.wordpress.com/tag/quotations/ | 2019-07-16T19:39:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.965375 | 207 |
back into the land of sewing. I have nothing to show for it, but hopefully I will after this evening. Thea, my sewing guru/teacher was over last night, but all we really did was talk about sewing. We looked at all my new patterns (oh my, I have a lot of patterns now) and talked about what I wanted to accomplish. A lot of my sewing angst is derived from my life long love/hate of “process” and my current figure (or lack thereof). Process is how you get from point A to point B. I’m not a big fan of process, but I do want to get to a lot of point B’s and expect it to happen instantaneously and magically through little effort of my own. Is that asking too much? 😉
We’re going to work on my pant sloper (again!). *sigh* Hopefully something will come of it this time. For some reason, one side is missing a half inch that the other side has. How on this green earth that happened I have no idea. So tonight we are going to hunt for the missing half inch.
For now, I will leave you with this beautiful boy. I believe I’ve introduced him before… His name is Jack and he’s my very own torture device. 🙂 Please note the red socks he’s wearing when his outfit has nary a red theme in it. He is obsessed by red socks, which he calls blue socks. He does know his colors, but still calls his red socks blue. He will not wear any other color socks, which forced me to buy 5 pairs so there is always a clean pair at hand.
I only say he’s my torture device because we (and I do mean we!) have been sleep challenged this week. Hey, do you recognize that skirt? That’s the 3 hour “20 minute” skirt that I recently altered to be more “fitted”. What do you think???

I have a son who is presently working at the University of Florida and because of this I noticed that they have one of the premier academic map collections in the entire United States. From their Map and Imagery Collections page I found the following statistics:
The Map & Imagery Digital Collections includes materials from the University of Florida's Map & Imagery Library andDepartment of Special and Area Studies Collections, particularly the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History and theUniversity Archives. The physical Map & Imagery Library Collection contains more than 497,800 maps, 266,500 aerial photographs, 2,250 remote sensing images, and 7,215 atlases and reference books. It is the largest academic map collection in the Southeast, and among the top five academic map collections in the entire United States. The Map & Imagery Library has general map coverage world-wide. Specialties of the collection include Florida, Latin America, the United States, Africa, and the Holy Land.Well, so now I was interested in finding out the other four huge university collections. Oh, I might note that the University of Florida also has the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps of Florida.
Before I go on in my search for the other four, I think it is important to note that maps should be the genealogists constant companion. Too many times when I quiz people about their genealogy, they have no idea where are of the places they find are actually located. For this reason, many of the places are incorrectly identified or confused. I suggest that identifying on a map each and every location you cite in your research is important. Many of the current genealogy programs will do this automatically except not so well for places that no longer exist.
The next major university collection I came across was the Library of the University of California at Santa Barbara. Their collection is described as follows:
MIL's collections of maps, aerial photography, satellite imagery and other spatial data exceed 5 million information objects. As of 1992, MIL was ranked as the number one spatial data collection in the top 100 members of the Association of Research Libraries. According to the 2006 Guide to US Map Sources, MIL is the third largest academic map collection in the country.
Aerial Photography and other remote sensing data
The imagery collection is composed of 2.8 million aerial photographs and an unknown amount of satellite images stored as part of the legacy Alexandria Digital Library collections. New to aerial imagery? Check out our aerial photography tools to learn how to find flights covering your area of interest and read indexes. We also have a page that describes major portions of the collection.OK, so UC Santa Barbara is the third largest academic collection. Where are the others? It turns out that most universities have a map collection. That means there are thousands of map collections around the world. Another large collection shows up at Yale University. Here is the description from the website:
The Yale Map Collection has the largest collection of maps in Connecticut and one of the largest university collections in the United States. Its collections are geographically comprehensive and consist of over 200,000 map sheets, 3,000 atlases, and 900 reference books.There seems to be some overlap between claims to the largest collections and the largest digitized collections. Some of the libraries have extensive collections of paper maps with only a small percentage yet digitized. I would think that there would be a huge amount of duplication in these collections. For example, the USGS has all of the U.S. topographical maps with many of them digitized. I assume that most of the other map collections contain these topographical maps. This is the case with the claim by the University of Kansas T.R. Smith Map Collection as follows:
The Thomas R. Smith Map Collection, located on the first floor of Anschutz Library at the University of Kansas, is among the largest academic map collections in the United States. The map collection includes over 440,000 paper maps and air photographs, covering all areas of the world, with particular strengths in maps of Kansas and of the U.S.A.It would probably be a really good idea to search for maps from universities in the areas where your ancestors lived. This would be a good place to start. As for identifying the largest map collections in libraries, it turns out finding out which are the largest is very difficult due to differences in the way the collections are described.

The Los Angeles Times recently featured a guest column by Bob Owens of Bearing Arms in which he praised silencers for hearing safety benefits, among other benefits. Owens also expressed support for the Hearing Safety Act, which calls for the removal of silencers from regulation under the National Firearms Act (‘NFA’). The Hearing Safety Act arose from the efforts of the American Suppressor Association (ASA). Gun Trust USA is a proud partner of the ASA, and Gun Trust USA is the only NFA gun trust solution recommended by the ASA. For a limited time only, each Gun Trust USA customer will receive a free one year membership in the ASA with their purchase of Gun Trust USA documents.
Here is the text of the column as published by the LA Times:
More than 100 years ago, inventor Hiram Percy Maxim created two almost identical products to accomplish the same goal in two very different industries. The divergent ways we treat those products today reveals the irrationality driving our national firearms debate.
One of Maxim’s inventions, a muffler for the internal combustion gasoline engine, was lauded for its ability to reduce ear-splitting noise. Now mufflers are mandatory for cars, trucks, buses, and industrial machinery to keep people from suffering permanent hearing loss.
Even “silenced,” the most common rifles and pistols are as loud as a rock concert.
Maxim also invented a gun muffler. Popular among hunters and target shooters worldwide, even President Theodore Roosevelt was an avid supporter of the so-called Maxim Silencer. Silencers were in common use in the United States until the Great Depression, when impoverished Americans began using silenced rifles to poach deer, rabbit, and other animals — sometimes even livestock — to feed their families. This did not sit well with game wardens, ranchers or the federal government.
When Congress passed the National Firearms Act in 1934 to regulate machine guns, sawed-off shotguns and short-barreled rifles favored by Prohibition-era gangsters, silencers were thrown in for good measure. If a person wanted to buy a silencer, he had to seek approval from the federal government and then buy a punitively expensive tax stamp. (That’s still true today.) Gun mufflers have largely been associated with crime ever since, thanks to the Hollywood cliche of an assassin ominously screwing a silencer onto the barrel of a gun before a fight he almost always loses.
In the movies and on television, silencers reduce the sound of gunfire from a loud and distinct bark to a faint cough that can’t even be heard from the next room. In the real world, the three sounds created when a gun fires — the supersonic crack of the bullet, the muzzle blast of gasses created by burning gunpowder, and the cycling of the weapon — simply cannot be completely eliminated.
The end result is that a “silenced” gunshot still sounds like a gun shot, but roughly 30 decibels lower. That’s about as much of a noise reduction as you would expect from wearing earmuffs or sticking your fingers in your ears. Even “silenced,” the most common rifles and pistols are quite loud.
Gun silencers, to those with no actual firearms experience, seem scary — they seem criminal. Hoplophobes cannot conceive of why a law-abiding person would want to own one. But for the millions of Americans who understand that guns, like cars, are tools, silencer regulation is a nonsensical nuisance. We use mufflers on engines to spare drivers’ ears on the road; why shouldn’t we use mufflers on guns to spare shooters’ ears at the firing range?
Even with good noise-canceling equipment, several hours of shooting still exposes the shooter to a racket that can cause a temporary ringing in the ears and long term hearing loss. By using both silencers and earplugs, frequent shooters can not only help their own hearing, but cut down on environmental noise as well.
Infrequent shooters also benefit from silencers. Firing a gun indoors in self-defense, for instance, can temporarily deafen a homeowner with a single shot, and any subsequent shots compound the problem. This could lead to a nightmare scenario in which a traumatized homeowner can’t hear law enforcement officers responding to a 911 call, or orders to put their hands up.
There are now more than 800,000 silencers in the hands of citizens who are refining and defining their role in American society.
We now know that silencers make precision rifles more accurate, shotguns easier to swing on a consistent arc after clay pigeons and training guns much less intimidating for new shooters.
And at last there is a strong national push to remove silencers from the National Firearms Act via the Hearing Protection Act in the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill has 50 co-sponsors, and would remove the $200 tax and six to nine month delays that typically accompany suppressor approval from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Under the revised law, anyone wishing to buy a silencer to protect their hearing would still be required to fill out an ATF form at their gun dealer, and would still undergo a background check.
Second Amendment restrictionists often say they want “common sense gun safety” measures, but more often than not their proposals are neither common sensical, nor about safety. Making silencers readily available to protect hearing, on the other hand, is a supremely logical way to defend shooters and bystanders from harm.

Getting started with Zend Framework 2
Comments are closed.
Good presentation, overview level, but that is probably just right at this time. Can't wait to see what is up next year.
Your remark about Zend/Di is keeping me busy, where can I find more about the pros/cons of Zend/Di (from the zfdev-teams point of view)?
having done ZF1 and SF2 I was interested in ZF2. Good talk but still not convinced about ZF2 though. Happy to hear there is a skeleton app to start from, will try it out. Also see this question about the p.mwop.net project https://twitter.com/tvlooy/status/295247468134805504
Not that structured talk. Jumping from one part of ZF2 to the next makes it confusing. Also the mentioning of all different Event Listeners and methods of configuration didn't make sense for me.
I don't really know what to say.
I'm interested in trying zf2, but I'm not convinced about its 'power'.
Matthew gave a great high-level overview of ZF2's architecture, it has definitely caught my attention. The talk was presented in a very clear and easy to understand manner. Even as a non-ZF user I was able to follow along nicely.
Great 'getting started' guide, good explanation of changed concepts from ZF1 to ZF2.
Enjoyed it. Thanks
Good and approachable overview. Made me understand the architecture of ZF2 although (unfortunately) I haven't worked with it, nor with ZF1.
Nice guide explaining the basic principles of ZF2
Great High-level overview of the new features in ZF2.
Gave a nice overview on ZF2, but I missed the structure in the beginning. Mentioning different event listeners didn't grab my attention because I couldn't place it in the right context.
Good overview of the design principles behind ZF2 and how they have been implemented in practice. Really shows you guys have put a lot of thought into it and have learned from the mistakes made with ZF1. Really made me want to try it out.
Really enjoyed Matthew's easy going and confident presentation style, it really shows he is an experienced speaker and can grab the audiences attention.
Haven't ever worked with ZF2 and coming from the Symfony2 world the talk gave me a nice overview of some bigger components of ZF2. Very nice presented and got me interested in take a closer look at some implementations.
It was not my first introduction to ZF2, but the best and most complete so far. I'm still not convinced that I will drop Symfony2 for ZF2, though ;) But, actually, the good thing about your presentation was to point out some of the different approaches of two frameworks, and that I found very helpful. | <urn:uuid:5fde0498-8dd6-471d-b65e-6958519ee31c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://joind.in/event/phpbenelux-conference-2013/getting-started-with-zend-framework-2 | 2019-07-16T18:17:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.968055 | 659 |
Osteology of the Skull as It Affects Halo Pin PlacementGARFIN, STEVEN R., MD*; BOTTE, MICHAEL J., MD*,‡; CENTENO, RICARDO S., MD†; NICKEL, VERNON L., MD*,‡Spine: October 1985 - Volume 10 - Issue 8 - p 696-698 Original Article: PDF Only Buy Abstract Author InformationAuthors Twenty-seven cadaver skulls and 20 CT scans of skulls were measured above the orbital rim and ear but below the greatest diameter to determine optimal placement of halo pin sites. At the antero- and posterolateral portions of the calvaria, the outer table averaged 2 mm, the diploe 3 mm, and the inner table 2 mm. At the temporal fossa, the outer cortex averaged 1.7 mm, the diploe 2.0 mm, and the inner table 1.6 mm. Average distance between the anterior edge of the temporal fossa and the frontal sinus approximated 3 cm. These data confirm previously recommended halo pin insertion sites, anterolaterally and posterolaterally, where the bone is thickest and the thinner frontal sinus and temporal fossae are avoided. *From the Division of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, University of California, San Diego, California †From the Department of Radiology, University of California, San Diego, California ‡From the Donald M.

Planning For The Future
The Amazonas region of Brazil is vast in both size and need. Along the banks of the mighty Amazon River are villages of people that feel forgotten and unseen. Many have deep spiritual, physical, and emotional needs that are unmet. By God’s grace, Justice & Mercy Amazon is seeking to change that.
All year long, our Amazon team takes to the river to meet the needs of the forgotten people of the Amazon, offering practical support and sharing the life-giving hope of the Gospel. In His kindness, God has expanded our reach in the Amazon, and JMA is serving more people than ever! As our reach grows, so do the needs we are encountering. Our current boat, although very loved, is old, very expensive to maintain, and simply too small to host our mission teams and Jungle Pastors we serve. We recognize that it is time to invest into a new boat that will not only be more economical, but will allow us to be more effective in our ministry.
We have an immediate need of $400,000 to fund the new boat. This is an investment into the next 20 years of ministry in the Amazon.

This article isn’t great, but it’s still fairly interesting to read someone criticizing the flat tax idea as something that’s not radical enough. The only reason I felt the article was blogworthy were a number of points/quotations made near the beginning.
The US tax code — with its “nine million word mountain of verbiage” — is so complex and “littered with impenetrable passages” that a fictional tax return given by Money magazine to forty-five tax preparers resulted in forty-five different calculations of the correct amount of tax due. This is not surprising since IRS employees (Forbes says that there are 97,440 of them) don’t even give the same answers to tax questions. Forbes mentions a 2003 Treasury Department study which found that callers to the IRS toll-free help lines “gave the wrong answers to tax-related questions more than 25 percent of the time.”
Regardless of one’s take on an appropriate level of taxation, I’d assume most people agree the current tax system is amazingly screwed up. Stats like that are almost unsurprising. | <urn:uuid:aab641bb-4538-4598-9838-4dd76d63fede> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://lianza.org/blog/2006/04/17/tax-day-post-a-criticism-of-the-flat-tax/ | 2019-07-16T18:52:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.970882 | 249 |
Spike's Ironman Fundraising Page
I’m Spike Taylor, former chief mechanic for British Cycling, now a director of Beacon Cycles, Clitheroe.
A few years ago I met the Bagshaw family who had just lost their son & brother, Dan Bagshaw, to sudden arrythmic heart disease or SADS. Without warning SADS kills twelve otherwise fit and healthy young people every week! Dan himself collapsed and died on the finish line of a triathlon in Hong Kong.
The Bagshaws set up a charity, Dans Trust, to fund critical research into SADS at Imperial College, London, and screening programmes, most recently of young members of the British Cycling Team. The charity also financially supports talented youngsters around Clitheroe.
I was so moved by Dan’s story that I’ve decided to put myself through the ultimate challenge! – the IronMan triathlon in Bolton. That’s a 2.4 mile swim in open water followed by a 112 mile bike ride up some serious hills finished by a full 26.2 mile marathon! As you can see by my picture I’m not a natural athlete, and alongside training, I’ve got to shed at least 16 kilos. I’m determined to do it and to complete the triathlon.
Whatever you can donate to this great charity, I’d be really grateful,
Spike's Ironman Triathlon Challenge
Cyclists will embark on a 112-mile, two-loop journey from Pennington Flash and onto the breathtaking Lancashire countryside. The bike course includes the famous Sheep House Lane climb twice where spectators can get up close and personal with the athletes in true Tour de France style. The run begins at T2 at the Macron Stadium and athletes will head into Bolton town centre, where they complete three loops of a circuit before finishing in Le Mans Crescent in the shadow of the Albert Hall.

My husband took off for a conference for a couple days this morning. I enjoyed being alone and taking it easy. Before he left I did take the time to finish clearing out the garden in which I will be planting the rest of the tomato seedlings.
Once he was gone I took a trip to the local thrift store and scored three new pairs of capris. I got them for free because I had a punch card that was full and gave me $5 off. I like sewing my own clothes, but when I can get some items for less than I can make them, especially free, it is hard to pass up.
After a nap, I just puttered around doing nothing important until evening, when I decided to start work on a new project, the crochet bag I mentioned a few days ago. I managed to get it started and did a number of rows, even changing colors and have started the first colorwork section. By that time it was time to head to bed because I work tomorrow and I need to be fresh and full of vigor. | <urn:uuid:6098c27b-5728-43e8-97ae-b96899b11fe1> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://nurturingourcreativity.com/2019/07/12/july-11-2019/ | 2019-07-16T18:22:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.988106 | 216 |
Deputy DA Margo Keyes is looking forward to this trip with as much enthusiasm as she’d have for a root canal. There’s the Philly summer heat, the high school reunion she’d rather avoid, and the speech she’d be giving as a last-minute stand-in for her boss. Mostly there’s facing high school crush Tony Alessandro. When she’d last seen the Philly cop, he’d danced her out of his sister’s wedding reception to a dark room where he’d kissed her senseless. If his nephew hadn’t interrupted they’d have . . . well, who knows?
Tony had disappeared on some family errand. She went home to Portland, Oregon the next day. She hadn’t heard from him since.
However, her homecoming turns out better than expected. The reunion and the speech work out. Even better, when she and Tony pick up where they left off in that dark room, the only heat that’s unbearable is what they generate in bed.
Margo returns to Portland wondering if she and Tony have started something she might not be ready for, relieved she’s put a whole continent between them to give her breathing room to sort it. Then his work with a federal task force investigating industrial espionage brings him to Portland. And an accidental swap of messenger bags on her flight home puts her in the middle of the investigation.
Tony wants her out of the way of the bad guys and focused on him. She wants to use a secret from her past to wrap up the case. And maybe avoid having to think about what’s happening between them.
They can’t both win. Or can they?
I was given a copy of this book by the author in return for my honest review. I love sexy, hot Italian men and this author nailed it with Tony! Falling for the girl he grew up was easy but getting her to realize that what they have is special and forever, is not all it is cracked up to be!
Margo feels the attraction between her and Tony but as great as the passion is, she has trouble getting out of her own insecure head. When they realize that a series of chance meetings have put her right in the crosshairs of the Russians, they both realize the power of love. Margo turns into a rock star when she convinces the man behind the threats that she is more like her felon father by trying to up the selling price of piece of industrial intel. I was surprised at who else was behind this little conspiracy.
Check out this great read and join me tomorrow when I sit down and interview Margo and Tony!

This weekend it’s the Red Bull Quicksand race. At just a mile long you might be fooled into thinking that it’s a pretty easy event. You’d be wrong. Red Bull have something of a reputation for quirky and somewhat dastardly races.
Over the course of that mile competitors will have to negotiate rollers, trenches and towering sandcastles (the tallest of which is 23 feet tall – the height of 2 double decker buses), all on the energy-sapping sand. Red Bull Quicksand could be the toughest mile you’ll ever run.
Following on from its inaugural event last year, 2019’s Red Bull Quicksand will be held on Saturday 18th May at Margate Beach, Kent. Registration opens up at 8:30am, with an open warm up following at 09:15am and the first heat underway at 10:30am.
Competitors, who it’s estimated will expend 1.6 times more energy running on sand than on a road surface, face an energy-sapping knockout format with heats, semi-finals and finals. It will be a full examination of endurance, acceleration and determination as this year’s custom-made course boasts even tougher obstacles, including a new loose sand tabletop obstacle.
Last year’s winners finished outside seven minutes, proving the ½ mile loop course that uses 10,000 tonnes of sand is a brutal day at the beach. Participants called the experience “a bad dream you can’t run away from”, “a really evil high-intensity workout” and similar to “running in high heels”.
All 750 spots have sold out now, but if you’re taking part, good luck! And it sounds like a great event for spectators.
If you’re travelling from outside Margate to Red Bull Quicksand, the local train station is a five-minute walk from the beach. Trains from London St Pancras are just over an hour and a half. If you are driving it’s best to plan ahead and use public parking in the area. | <urn:uuid:0ed5c763-7be8-47c0-b84f-297d0801f94a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://run247.com/running-news/red-bull-quicksand-is-coming | 2019-07-16T18:23:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.915693 | 446 |
“A big part of my challenge as a creative is it’s so hard not to take stuff personally, especially since at the beginning you (feel) like, you suck at everything.”
The Journey from $0 to $100K
Mike started his business in late 2018 and decided to document his journey from zero dollars to $100K. His reasoning behind this is to focus his mindset.
He decided to do this after hearing a story from a friend, about a person who wanted to become an actress. So, for an entire year, she focused on becoming a Hollywood actor and documented the whole process.
While this sounds like a reality show in the making, Mike explained the logic behind it was to get the actress to focus. Even if at the end of the year, things didn’t turn out exactly how she wanted, the process of documenting her progress would put her on the path to becoming an actress.
So, despite only having a camera for a year and a half, Mike started the journey to document his efforts to reaching $100K a year with the same mindset.
Biggest struggles as a new entrepreneur.
While still new to the journey, Mike told me the most challenging part of becoming an entrepreneur for him has been dealing with “the moment.”
He explained there are often tumultuous periods of uncertainty and moments which are so pervasive. It’s not uncommon for him to doubt or question his decisions. He frequently wrestles with imposter syndrome, asking himself questions such as:
“Am I going to be able to deliver for this client?”
“Is this client actually going to pay me?”
“Is this the right thing I should be doing right now?
“Should I be making these videos or should I be on a different trajectory?
“If my end goal is to become filmmaker, am I just distracting myself from doing that by taking on this sort of work?
“If I say yes to this, will I have the capacity to say yes to something else?
In addition to these questions, Mike knows he still has to balance his workload and show up for conversations with potential customers.
“There are days where I feel great, and it's easy. Then are days like, everything sucks, and this is awful.”
He admits, building his business is much more complicated then he thought, or that others will lead you to believe. Hustle is a word he hates.
“It’s always, get out there and hustle. You got this! And frankly, there are days where I don't feel like moving. On those days, how am I supposed to get up and actually put on a smile?”
Video isn't Mike's first foray into entrepreneurship. Before video, Mike did what he refers to as, “a series of experiments,” where he tried different things to determine what would stick, what he enjoyed doing, and what would be profitable.
His first experiment was podcasting. He decided after some time editing audio was mind-numbing.
Then he decided to launch an entrepreneurial mastermind group and was able to sell a few of those, which led to his next venture, events.
His first event, a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood, was a huge success. He helped raise a lot of money, so he thought, events might be his thing. Unfortunately, his next a couple of events lost money.
However, during the process of creating the events, Mike bought a camera and determined he really liked making videos.
For his video experiment, Mike contacted a friend who runs a conference called Lady Coders. She had a Go Fund page for the conference, but no video.
He filmed a video for the page which helped her raise $12,000.
The LinkedIn Experiment
Mike puts out some of the most engaging videos I’ve seen on LinkedIn. They are usually under three minutes and packed with so much information that I often come away from them thinking, “Huh, I hadn't thought of that.”
He gets his content for the videos from questions he's asked from people in his network. Questions such as, how do you do x with video, or how do you produce your videos, often become the subject of his videos.
Other times the content is as simple as a thought he had on entrepreneurship, on selling or his viewpoint on proposals.
Three different types of videos every business should have
Mike believes every business owner and entrepreneur should have a video for each of the following in their content farm.
- A frequently asked questions (FAQ) video
- A testimonial video
- An intro Video
Outside of these videos, Mike recommends having any sort of content that helps people put a face to a name. He tells his clients, they don’t have to produce video, but they should be creating some sort of content to help grow their brands.
There are a lot of reasons not to do video. One of them is equipment. Everyone wants to wait until they have a better camera.
The challenge with “waiting” is; first, you’ve lost time, and second, the learning curve on a “real” camera can be very steep, causing yet another reason not to do video.
Mike also believes that the video quality for the nicer camera will not look that much better than what you'd be able to shoot on your cell phone.
His advice on equipment id don't wait, use what you have and get started.
Mike doesn’t fully script his videos or even memorize or recite them, prior to filming.
Instead, to make it easy for him to remember, he breaks his scripts into three parts.
- A hook
- The story
- The takeaway
When determining the hook he’ll use, Mike, skips ahead to the meat of the story and asks himself, “what am I trying to get across to people? What is like a fascinating way I can show that?”
From a story standpoint, he often looks to the takeaway first, then backs into the story using his storytelling skills from his copywriting days.
B-Roll and audio
One of the reasons Mike’s videos are so compelling is his use of b-roll and audio. He adds in B-roll, which is any visual element that is not a person talking on camera, to polish the story and make it visually appealing.
Mike noticed many videos on LinkedIn were just talking head type videos with no music. So, he decided to add music as an element of stickiness. He gets most of his b-roll and sound from the following sites.
Mike typically works with businesses to create a video sales funnel. He helps companies create a “content farm” by showing them how to create and distribute weekly and monthly content for LinkedIn.
He also works with entrepreneurs one-on-one, helping them learn the fundamentals of shooting and editing their own videos since a lot of entrepreneurs don't have the required budgets for him to create the videos for them.
To help entrepreneurs in this situation, Mike recently decided to launch (as an experiment again) an in-person workshop.
In the workshop, Mike will teach attendees his process for capturing ideas, writing scripts, shooting video correctly, how to upload and edit, and even how to distribute it. If you’re interested in attending Mike’s workshop, reach out to him at one of the links below.
Best Ways to reach Mike
Generosity and Encouragement
Mike is a generous person, giving his time and energy where he can. This year he decided to send hand-written postcards to random individuals with notes of hope and encouragement.
When Mike first moved to Denver he didn't know anyone, so he started writing postcards as a way to reconnect with his friends back home and around the country. Seeing the reactions to his postcards, he decided to send anyone who wants words of encouragement to sign up via his website.
If you’d like a postcard from Mike, you can sign up on his website at http://mikekilcoyne.com | <urn:uuid:6d8b1564-4aa7-4d0f-8741-59638c62b325> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://ryanrhoten.com/mike-kilcoyne/ | 2019-07-16T19:29:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.978983 | 1,700 |
The Tanger Outlets centers in Riverhead and Deer Park on Monday announced a “Moonlight Madness” promotion that will see all its stores open at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving Night.
The stores will then remain open throughout the night and morning into Black Friday, Nov. 29.
The hours “will offer Tanger shoppers the opportunity to capitalize on huge savings at their favorite brand name and designer outlet stores before the Black Friday rush,” Tanger officials said in a statement.
Is your business making special accommodations for the holiday shopping season? Tell us in comments.
“With a short holiday season this year, shopping early is more important than ever,” said Steven Tanger, the president and CEO of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc., of Greensboro, N.C. “Tanger Outlets’ Moonlight Madness Sale offers customers a unique shopping experience where they can shop all of our brand name and designer stores across categories at one fun and clean location.”
Among other marketing promotions, Tanger Outlets is offering 20 percent and 30 percent-off “Bonus Savings Passes” that must be downloaded here or picked up at either of the two Tanger Outlets centers by Wednesday, Nov. 27, company officials said. | <urn:uuid:8d17cf8c-009b-4dda-bf61-a26dccdfdca9> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://suffolktimes.timesreview.com/2013/11/tanger-outlets-set-to-open-at-10-p-m-on-thanskgiving/ | 2019-07-16T18:45:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.925982 | 265 |
Missed a week again, so double post today! Yet another family visit got in the way. I’ve also been feeling shit, but that’s no excuse because frankly, I’m still feeling shit. I hate having a cold I can’t seem to shift. At the moment I’m living on hot toddies and liquorice (or, when at work, coffee, since I’m not really allowed to slip some whisky into anything I drink at work).
Anyway, that’s all by the by – let’s have a look at this week’s questions!
I made it! This is the very last entry in my 26-Week Book Challenge, even if this is an afterlude. Don’t tell me that’s not a word; it is now. Anyway, I posted 37 entries in total: 26 actual entries and 11 interludes on questions I could not (or would not) answer. Today’s is the last of those, and it’s the question which, to me, is the silliest of them all: your favourite book of all time.
So here it is, the fifth and last part of this fantastic readalong. I’ve had a whale of a time with the good discussions and I’m rather sad that it’s coming to an end… I do hope that you’ll all still visit my blog!
This week’s questions are hosted by Allie over at Tethyanbooks, and since this is the end the spoilers are going to be even more spoilerific than before. Don’t say you haven’t been warned.
Things are really heating up as we reach week four of this readalong, and this week it is hosted by Andrea over at Little Red Reviewer. As always some really interesting questions, so go check out everyone else’s answers too! Oh, and beware the massive, massive, MASSIVE spoilers…
Description: With what should have been the greatest heist of their career gone spectacularly sour, Locke and his trusted partner, Jean, have barely escaped with their lives. Or at least Jean has. But Locke is slowly succumbing to a deadly poison that no alchemist or physiker can cure. Yet just as the end is near, a mysterious Bondsmage offers Locke an opportunity that will either save him or finish him off once and for all.
Magi political elections are imminent, and the factions are in need of a pawn. If Locke agrees to play the role, sorcery will be used to purge the venom from his body – though the process will be so excruciating he may well wish for death. Locke is opposed, but two factors cause his will to crumble: Jean’s imploring – and the Bondsmage’s mention of a woman from Locke’s past: Sabetha. She is the love of his life, his equal in skill and wit, and now, his greatest rival.
Locke was smitten with Sabetha from his first glimpse of her as a young fellow orphan and thief-in-training. But after a tumultuous courtship, Sabetha broke away. Now they will reunite in yet another clash of wills. For faced with his one and only match in both love and trickery, Locke must choose whether to fight Sabetha – or to woo her. It is a decision on which both their lives may depend.
Week three already! Doesn’t time fly? This week’s questions are hosted by Lynn over at Lynn’s Book Blog, so hop on over and check out everyone else’s replies! (After reading mine, of course.)
1. The election competition. Sabetha isn’t wasting any time throwing pranks at Locke and Jean. Mostly it seemed fairly harmless, or at least not overly serious, until they were kidnapped and put onto a ship and taken out to sea. What did you make of Sabetha’s latest plan? And what did you think about the way she executed it? | <urn:uuid:3b9e9fbf-ffc7-4822-854e-501801c5d5fa> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://theftandsorcery.wordpress.com/tag/scott-lynch/ | 2019-07-16T19:01:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.971151 | 855 |
Engaging programs to keep kids coming back to the library
One of my toddlers’ favorite stories is Nicola Smee’s Clip Clop. I have been using the book for a couple of years now and recently made a flannel and a puppet story to use with them as well.
For the flannel story I created a horse that is big enough to take up all the space on my lap board. I made enough cats, dogs, pigs, and ducks for my biggest crowd and pass them out before I read the story. By the end of the book the horse is totally covered with farm animals!
I made a puppet version of this story, too. I use my horse puppet as Mr. Horse, and finger puppets from my collection for the other farm animals. As each animal asks to get on horse, I add a clothespin and slip the finger puppet on top of it.
I make this version of the story more interactive. Each time a farm animal gets on Horse I have the kids clap their knees and as Horse gallops. We go faster each time, until all the animals fall off Horse at the end! | <urn:uuid:86e319d7-07a7-48b1-89e7-0d3549860a1e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://thriveafterthree.com/2013/01/13/clip-clop/ | 2019-07-16T19:32:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.965074 | 235 |

HÀ NỘI— Youth in Tây Nguyên (Central Highlands) province of Đắk Lắk are planting a forest in Ea Súp District’s Ea Rôk Commune, and naming it after the General Võ Nguyên Giáp.
Lê Hồng Hạnh, deputy secretary of the district’s Youth Communist Union, said: “We want to remind younger generations of the late General’s great contributions to the country.”
Under the project, the forest will cover an area of over 20,000 hectares of the Ea Súp forest, which is home to thousands of huge trees.
In the middle of the forest is the Chăm tower Yang Prong, which was built in the 14th century. In 1991, the tower was recognised as a national architectural relic. But now it is in disrepair and needs to be preserved.
The union is working with local authorities to carry out the project.
During the rainy season, they will plant more trees around the forest’s edge, which local residents destroyed to cultivate crops.
After the restoration is completed, the Võ Nguyên Giáp forest will become a destination for youth and students to learn more about the country’s history and culture.
“The union will call for cooperation from local schools to send their students to the forest once a month,” she said. “They will have a chance to meet and make friends, as well as learn more about Việt Nam’s history.”
The union also plans to organise the first meeting at the South Việt Nam liberation ceremony on April 30. The meeting will discuss General Giáp and include a film screening on his life and career.
“We are lucky that our plan has received great support from local authorities and war veterans, who want to join activities and share their stories with the younger generation,” Hạnh said.
“We, members of the Youth Union, will try our best to take care of the forest as a way to encourage local people, especially youth, to protect our homeland,” he added.

TERRY Connor’s biggest decisions are whether to stick with skipper Roger Johnson at the back and whether Kevin Doyle deserves a recall to his starting eleven.
Connor could recall Ronald Zubar and push Richard Stearman inside, or bring Christophe Berra in from the cold.
Doyle and Berra are key squad members, says Connor: “We have to use them to the best we can. Kevin has played virtually every game when he’s been fit and just missed out last Saturday. I decided to freshen it up a bit and use Sylvan and he was champing at the bit to play.
“And that game was right for him. He played particularly well too – he created chances for himself and for others and he was very much part of the squad and the group.
“That’s what we’ve always had here and what we’ll continue to have – whether they’re a Berra, a Doyle or a Jarvis. I’ll pick the team that’s best on the day.”
In form Michael Kightly and Matt Jarvis look assured of starts. Connor said: “It’s great to see them playing so well and they’ve done it over a number of years.
“Michael hasn’t done it over the last couple of years because of his injury problems but it’s really good to have him back and contributing in the manner that he has done.
“Having him gives us that balance on both sides. We can use that against Stoke, why not? If I decide to play with two wingers, they’re the best two.” | <urn:uuid:8bdc1c89-cc32-4391-8753-e62bdecd1455> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/wolves-v-stoke-team-news-182707 | 2019-07-16T19:00:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.975607 | 354 |
Bantams boss Phil Parkinson was left frustrated and disappointed in equal measure after City's narrow defeat at the hands of Tranmere Rovers.
A single Ryan Lowe goal just over twenty minutes from the end harshly consigned Parkinson's side to their first home defeat of the season this Sunday afternoon.
Although City weren't at their best for their latest League 1 encounter, Parkinson says he couldn't fault the endeavour and commitment of his players and felt the Bantams deserved at least a share of the spoils.
And while Parkinson was critical of certain aspects of City's play, he was, however, most annoyed by a number of refereeing decisions made throughout the contest, in particular the incident that saw Ian Goodison escape with only a yellow card despite the defender appearing to catch Kyel Reid in the face with his elbow midway through the first half.
The City chief said: "Regarding the incident in front of the dug-out (the Goodison elbow), I felt at the time that it was a straight red card. Having had the benefit of being able to watch it back again on the match DVD, I can say it is a definite straight red.
"The fourth official who I spoke with said that he (Goodison) didn't hit Kyel with his elbow, he just hit him with his forearm. If a forearm smash isn't a sending off then the fourth official has been watching a completely different game to the one I have watched over the last ten years.
"It was a big call, and they got it wrong."
Parkinson continued: "We also haven't had a penalty all season, and that is starting to concern me. You go back to a few weeks ago when Kyel Reid was clearly brought down in the box at Gillingham and didn't get a penalty. We had lots of moments today (Sunday) where you feel a penalty could have been given and we haven't had one. You would say that surely sooner rather than later we are going to get one.
"I went in to see the referee after the game and just said to him that I didn't feel he did enough to stop Tranmere from implementing their tactics of slowing the game down from the first whistle.
"There wasn't enough effort made to speed the game up.
"Our fans have paid good money to come to the game today. You can't blame Tranmere, they have come with a plan which they think will work for them. The officials have to make sure that sort of thing doesn't happen though.
"It wasn't until about seven or eight minutes to go before the referee started to respond to it even though everybody else in the ground had been able to see it clearly for a while.
"They weren't proactive enough in the way their officiated the game today.
"On the balance of play, we have definitely deserved something from the game. It was just at times we had to be patient on the ball because of the numbers Tranmere had back.
"We speak about playing with a high tempo and playing quick football, but there is also the other side of the game when teams have got men behind the ball and you have to be patient and pass well.
"At times we have done that well today, but our shooting from distance wasn't good enough. It was a greasy surface today because of the wet conditions - a great day for shooting low and letting the pitch quicken up the ball - but we haven't worked the 'keeper enough.
"We just couldn't find that moment of magic to get us through. Getting the first goal today would have been important for us because Tranmere came here with a 4-5-1 formation and sat back looking to make it really difficult for us.
"In terms of effort though, I don't think we could have asked anymore from the players today. They gave us everything.
"I am disappointed with the goal we have given away, however. It was a kick from their 'keeper, we've lost the first header and not got our covering positions right. We've let a very good striker free in our eighteen yard box and that shouldn't have happened. The goal gave them a huge lift."
New signing Matthew Bates was an unused substitute for the Tranmere fixture after signing a three-month deal with the Bantams. Bates comes into the club following Andrew Davies' recent knee surgery, although the versatile performer has also been brought in as cover in midfield as Ricky Ravenhill looks set to leave City on loan.
Explaining his decision to bring Bates to the Coral Windows Stadium, Parkinson said: "It's three-fold really. Obviously with Andrew getting his injury, he can help us in central defence.
"Matty can also play full back and he can play in midfield as well. Ricky Ravenhill has expressed his desire to go out on loan. He feels he is at an age where he needs to be playing regularly and I agree with him.
"I feel it is time for Ricky to move on and get some football, so Matt covers us in midfield in Ricky's place. He covers us at right back as well, along with his favourite position of centre back."
With Bates on the bench, Parkinson decide to partner Nathan Doyle with Luke Oliver in central defence following the club's recent defensive problems.
Parkinson said: "We went with Doyley (Nathan Doyle) because we knew we would have a lot of the ball as I expected Tranmere to play with only one up front.
"In that scenario, your two centre backs are going to have a lot of the ball, and Doyley, in particular, is a good user of the ball."
The move to put Doyle back into defence meant Parkinson handed Jason Kennedy his first league start for the club following his summer move to Valley Parade.
Parkinson added: "I thought Jason worked really hard today.
"He put in a good performance. He was committed, he was strong and he passed it well."
Carl McHugh was back at Valley Parade to make up part of City's list of substitutes after being given permission to temporarily leave the Republic of Ireland Under 21s camp.
The young defender will now join back up with the under 21s squad ahead of their match with Romania in Sligo this Tuesday afternoon.
Parkinson added: "We didn't have any cover for left back on the bench without Carl, so the Irish F.A kindly let have him back for today so we could have him on our bench." | <urn:uuid:0feb97bd-0f15-43a8-be5b-33eb6f68022a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/news/2013/october/boss-reflects-on-frustrating-afternoon/ | 2019-07-16T18:46:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524685.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716180842-20190716202842-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.989411 | 1,344 |

Prevalence of Diagnosed and Undiagnosed HIV Infection — United States, 2008–2012
CDC Media Relations
HIV diagnosis is the essential first step in ensuring those living with HIV can access ongoing care and treatment, as well as other information and tools to help prevent transmission to others. More than one million people are living with HIV in the U.S. Although most of these individuals are aware of their infection, those who are not cannot benefit from life-extending treatment. They account for a significant proportion (30 percent) of new HIV transmissions. Reaching these individuals with HIV testing is critical. For this analysis, CDC researchers analyzed data from the National HIV Surveillance System to estimate the prevalence of diagnosed and undiagnosed HIV for the 50 states and the District of Columbia. In 2012, the number of people living with HIV ranged from 110 (Iowa) to 3,936 (Washington, DC) per 100,000 persons in 42 jurisdictions with stable estimates. The percentage living with diagnosed HIV ranged from 77.4 percent in Louisiana to 90 percent or greater in Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, and New York. These five jurisdictions have already met the National HIV/AIDS Strategy goal of increasing the percentage of people living with HIV who know their serostatus to 90 percent by 2015. These data underscore the continued need for ongoing efforts to increase testing to further reduce undiagnosed HIV infection. The authors also note that because the percentage of persons who are diagnosed varies by geographic area, efforts tailored to each area’s unique needs and situations may be needed.
Identifying New Positives and Linkage to HIV Medical Care — 23 Testing Site Types, United States, 2013
CDC Media Relations
Health care and non-health care settings both play a pivotal role in reaching undiagnosed persons with HIV testing services. CDC recommends routine HIV screening in health care settings for persons aged 13-64 years. However, targeted testing in non-health care settings is also critical to reach populations that continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV (e.g., African Americans, men who have sex with men, and Latinos) and do not routinely seek care. To better understand in what settings HIV testing and diagnosis is taking place, CDC researchers reviewed data from 61 health departments and 151 community-based organizations that were funded by CDC to conduct HIV testing. In 2013, a larger percentage of HIV-positive persons were newly diagnosed in STD clinics (0.8 percent) as compared to other health care sites (0.2-0.5 percent). In non-health care sites, HIV counseling and testing sites conducted the largest number of HIV testing events and identified the largest number of new positives (3,860). The findings indicate that certain sites yield higher percentages of newly diagnosed HIV-positive persons and highlight the importance of national program monitoring and evaluation efforts to determine which sites are most effectively providing HIV testing, diagnosing new positives, and linking HIV-positive persons to care. The authors note this analysis can be used to inform decisions about program planning and allocation of HIV testing resources.
Recreational Water–Associated Disease Outbreaks — United States, 2011–2012
CDC Media Relations
To protect ourselves, our family, and our friends, here are a few easy and effective steps all of us can take each time we swim:
- Keep the pee, poop, sweat, and dirt out of the water!
- Don’t swim if you have diarrhea.
- Shower before you get in the water.
- Don’t pee or poop in the water.
- Don’t swallow the water.
- Every hour—everyone out!
- Take kids on bathroom breaks
- Check diapers, and change them in a bathroom or diaper-changing area to keep germs away from the water.
To get your FREE CDC Healthy Swimming brochure visit: www.cdc.gov/healthyswimming.
For 2011–2012, public health officials from 32 states and Puerto Rico reported 90 outbreaks linked to swimming in water contaminated with germs or chemicals. The 90 outbreaks affected at least 1,788 people and resulted in at least 95 hospitalizations and one death. Of 69 (77%) outbreaks linked to swimming in water treated with disinfectants, such as chlorine or bromine (for example, in pools), 36 (52%) were caused by Cryptosporidium. This parasite can survive in properly treated water for more than 10 days. Typical filters do not effectively remove Cryptosporidium or other germs. This means we all need to help keep Cryptosporidium and other germs out of the water we share in the first place.
State Tobacco Control Program Spending — United States, 2011
CDC Media Relations
If states allocated funding for tobacco prevention and control efforts at CDC’s Best Practices levels, they could achieve larger and more rapid reductions in tobacco use and associated morbidity and mortality. Evidence-based, statewide tobacco control programs that are comprehensive, sustained, and accountable have been shown to reduce smoking rates and tobacco-related diseases and deaths. States that have made larger investments in tobacco prevention and control have seen larger declines in cigarette sales than the United States as a whole, and the prevalence of smoking has declined faster as spending for tobacco control programs has increased. States underinvested in their tobacco prevention and control programs in fiscal year 2011, spending $658 million. This spending is only 17.8% of the amount recommended by CDC’s Best Practices for Comprehensive Tobacco Control Programs, or less than 3% of the $24.2 billion they received from tobacco tax revenues and Master Settlement Agreement payments.

After 70 years of bringing quality cheese to the market, Schuman Cheese isn’t ready to just rest on its legacy. Reaching this landmark anniversary came with a new look, a new name, and a renewed focus on doing what the company does best—its cheeses. At this year’s Summer Fancy Food Show in New York, New York, National Sales Manager Allison Schuman joined me to talk about the newly renamed Schuman Cheese, and what’s next for the growing company.
“It’s about getting the name out there, and we took a look at the forward-facing brand that we’re presenting to everybody. We found the need to evolve,” Allison shared with me from the floor. “We wanted a name that not only paid homage not only to my great grandfather, but also incorporated any subsequent generations that will be coming into the business in the next 70 years.”
Also on the horizon for Schuman Cheese is a line extension of its popular Cello Whisps product. The company’s Master Cheesemaker, Christophe Megevand, created a cheddar wheel that lent perfectly to the task of introducing Cheddar Whisps.

No matter, if this is your first of your fiftieth interview having everything well planned and prepared, will have a positive impact on your confidence, and ultimately on your success. This article contains most commonly asked interview questions and answers in an HR Interview.
Tell me something about yourself in brief
This question will usually come at the start of your interview, the keyword is 'Brief'. Don't go into every detail, more questions related to this will come up later. The main aim of this is to give you the opportunity to start speaking, a few points like name, age, where you come from, present job/ or what you have been studying. Possible add-ons could be some descriptive character traits, for example, I'm conscientious, trustworthy, and keen to make my mark in [chosen field].
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
This is an old favorite with interviewers and can cause problems. The point of asking this is to gauge your honesty and to judge how well you know yourself. Don't try to avoid your weaknesses, we all have them, one way to deal with them is to refer to weaknesses as past experiences, for example, I used to be...., in the past I was...., followed by however having introspected and learned from my mistakes I have overcome the drawbacks this created. Talk about your strengths positively but without showing off, keep them fairly simple and broad, for example, I'm a quick learner, a good listener, empathic, assertive.
Did you ever have a conflict with your current/previous boss or professor?
Conflict is a strong word so try to divert from it, for example, I wouldn't say there was ever any conflict, rather I have always been sympathetic to others views/ I prefer to discuss matters that might create conflict/By being unbiased, yet assertive I generally find any conflict can be circumvented.
Explain the difference between group and team.
The obvious difference is that a group need not necessarily be all working with a common goal, whereas a team will be utilizing the individual specialist skills of everyone to achieve a unified aim.
Are you a team player?
The first point, answer the question and DON'T say NO. Even though over the last few years the importance of team players has lost some of its importance its always best to say you are a team player. Your ability to share your skills and interact productively with others is an essential and valued skill looked for by employers. However, show that you are equally adept at working on your own initiative, For example, "Although I know the value of teamwork on occasions where my skills are required and I have to deal with projects etc. single handed I’m confident enough to handle things on my own".
Where do you see yourself 3 years from now? or Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
OK, another old favourite with interviewers, first and foremost DON'T say what one of my ex-students said; "I want your job". It’s best not to deal with specifics, in terms of position, salary, promotions etc.
Something along these lines is about the best way to deal with it:
"Having proved myself to be a valued and integral part of the team I feel sure I will receive suitable increments related to my skills. Overall, I would aim to achieve a position with XYZ company with greater responsibilities and challenges, ideally gaining greater respect and acknowledgement from where I can utilize everything, I have learned to enable to company to achieve its corporate identity at a higher level".
What are your future goals?
Basically, this is no different to 'Where do you see yourself in 3/ 5 years’ time.
What is your ideal company or workplace?
Your response here should focus on qualities like Cooperation, environment, appreciation, and interaction, not on financial, promotion, or fringe benefits like paid holiday leave etc.
What makes you angry?
You need to emphasize that you have good anger management skills, it’s important to indicate that you don't get angry without fully understanding a situation. Anger usually stems from frustration which arises because things are not going how you want them to go, so whenever dealing with things you make contingency plans, look for possible problems and circumvent them in advance, that you are a good listener and that everybody has their own agenda which needs to attend to. Think of the three Cs 'Cool, Calm, and Collected'.
Are you open to taking risks?
Risks indicate danger, and therefore if you say Yes you could create an image of someone who would put things in jeopardy, however, if you say No the interviewer may think you are not willing to make changes. So, you need to show that you, in consultation with co-workers and line managers, would undertake a risk analysis so that damage limitations can be implemented before committing to any uncertain development.
Do you like experimenting?
Pretty similar to the above question, experimenting is good but needs to be done on a trial basis.
Tell me about your short-term and long-term goals?
Think about your response chronologically, establishing yourself in the company, growing and developing, gaining respect, contributing, having a positive impact, leading to appreciation in the form of promotion to a post where your skills take the company to the highest level in that field.
What motivates you?
Don’t say Money, phrases to consider using are appreciation within the company hierarchy, knowing you have done your best work, that you have made a positive contribution to the company, successfully achieving desired outcomes.
Do you have any role models? If so, who are they, and why are the role model?
Again, think of inspiration, people who have achieved a lot against all the odds. And finally, remember you have as much chance as anyone else applying for the job of being successful, keep cool, calm and collected, the company is looking for an employee as much as you are looking to be employed. OK it’s a competitive world but on the day, you are only competing with yourself, so learn from this book how best to put yourself forward as the ideal candidate, focus on how closely you match the job description, what makes you unique, how involved and passionate you are about a career with the company and how you will be a benefit to the organization. Make sure you deal with everything logically, keep your thoughts together, don’t get flustered, this is being collected. Keep cool, again don’t get flustered or become intimidated, if you feel frustrated remember not to get angry, keep calm, avoid arrogance, be honest and have faith in yourself.
Success is within your grasp, and by following this guide you will find success in the employment market.
Why did you (or why do you want to) leave your current employer?
Make sure you speak positively about your present/ previous employer. Intimate that you feel/ felt that you had little room for further development, and now you are looking for greater responsibility and challenges.
Tell me about the worst boss you ever had?
You have never had a bad boss. ok, mention that sometimes you disagreed but you always showed respect and put your point of view across tactfully.
How do you feel about working weekends and night shifts?
Fundamentally you have to say that you are happy to do it, otherwise, you stand less chance of being selected. However, make sure you don't come across as a subservient slave, add on to your acceptance things like; "I would, of course, require some prior notice", or "As long as these were fixed in advance and suitable recompense was forthcoming, I can see no difficulty". DON'T ask for more money.
Give an example of a time you had to respond to an unhappy manager/ customer/ colleague/ professor/ friend.
The key here is to state that you took any criticism positively, that you learned from your mistakes, and that you remained calm.
What are your biggest achievements till date?
Think about an accumulation of things rather than just one thing, emphasize how all the things you have done have brought you to this point in life where you are ready to move forward.
If you won a 10-crore USD/INR lottery, would you still work?
This is related to a question which asks, 'What is more important to you, a high salary or job satisfaction'. Ok we all need money but you shouldn't give the impression that money is the be all and end of all in your life, however, you also don't want them to think you are a workaholic. Better to say that you would continue working because of the satisfaction it provides and you would invest the money in helping others gain the skills they need or invest it in a sustainable future for your family.
