What exactly soared through the late afternoon skies of Canada, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania on December 5, 1965? Eye witnesses described the unknown object as a “fireball,” but it seemed to be under some type of intelligent control, as it veered somewhat in Ohio toward the Quaker State.
One of the first official reports of that day came from Frances Kalp, who phoned in her experience to radio station WHJB in Greensburg at 6:30 P.M. She related seeing a fiery object crash into a wooded area near her home in Westmoreland County. Kalp and her children had approached the site within a half-mile, and there they saw an odd object resembling a “four-pointed star.”
Radio station employee John Murphy immediately phoned in the report to the Pennsylvania State Police Department. The Police phoned Kalp and arranged to meet her in Kecksburg.
Murphy also raced to the site of the alleged crash. He interviewed Kalp and her children for his report, while the State Police searched the woods for the crashed object. Murphy eagerly awaited the return of the searchers. When they finally completed their search, Murphy was unable to get any clear information from either Carl Metz or Paul Shipco, who headed the search. They only stated that they were calling in the Military to handle the case.
Undaunted, Murphy made phone contact with Captain Dussia at State Police Headquarters in Greensburg. Murphy was instructed to visit the office to receive an official statement on the search party results. Upon arriving at headquarters, Murphy noticed that the Military had already arrived in force. Murphy was startled when he received the “official” statement;
“The Pennsylvania State Police have made a thorough search of the woods. We are convinced that there is nothing whatsoever in the woods.”
By this time, Murphy was convinced that there was a cover-up of some kind. If there was nothing in the woods, why would the Military be in force at Pennsylvania’s Police headquarters?
After turning in his report to the radio station, Murphy overheard one of the policemen involved in the search describing a “pulsating blue light” in the forest.
Murphy was told that Officer Metz and the Military were going back to the woods, and to his surprise he was given permission to join the second search.
Murphy’s excitement soon turned to disappointment when after accompanying the party to the outskirts of the woods, he was kept from going any farther.
Murphy was an eye witness to the Military sealing off the area, and banning all civilians from the scene and its immediate surroundings. The story of the crash soon made newspapers and television, and the area was quickly overflowing with people wanting to get first hand information on what could possibly be a historic event.
What had actually crashed into the woods? Was it just a fragment of a comet?
Or space debris reentering the Earth’s atmosphere? If the explanation was so simple, however, why had the Military cordoned off the area? Could it have been a secret Military craft? Or something far more mysterious?
It soon became common knowledge that some eager, interested civilians had made a trip into the woods before the Military gained control of the area. These few individuals were interviewed by Stan Gordon, and told an amazing story.
They stated that they saw a copper-bronze colored, saucer-shaped object crashed in the woods. This craft was anywhere from 9-12 feet in length, and bore a gold band around its bottom.
Some of the witnesses described writing on the craft which resembled Egyptian hieroglyphics. These few witnesses were quickly whisked away when discovered by Military personnel. Later that night, witnesses claimed that they observed a flatbed truck toting a large object, covered by a tarpaulin.
Shortly after the departure of the flatbed, many of the Military personnel vacated the search area. Could this have been a craft from another world being taken down our highways?
An extremely intense day of activity was followed by a quiet morning, and it seemed that what had occurred was just a dream. The Air Force concluded their investigation with the “official” statement that a meteorite was responsible for the report of a glowing craft, and subsequent crash in the woods.
The media as a whole accepted this explanation, and the matter seemed for all intent and purposes, closed. Had it not been for a 1990 television program, the Kecksburg crash would have been just another fancied report by a few overly excited witnesses.
The area of Kecksburg would again become a beehive of controversy after a dramatization of the events on “Unsolved Mysteries” in 1990. The citizens of the area seemed to be equally divided on the value of airing the segment, with some accepting the “official” explanation, and others claiming “cover-up.”
Even before the segment aired, some protesters promoted a petition to stop the network from airing the Kecksburg story.
The actual witnesses of the event prevailed, stating that the petitioner’s list did not include any eye witnesses to the original event. Opposite sides were also taken by those officially investigating the facts of Kecksburg.
After the television show ran, two new witnesses came forward. One was a USAF officer at Lockbourne AFB (near Columbus, Ohio). In the early hours of December 10, a truck arrived by the little used back gate of the base and he was ordered to patrol it.
It was a flat-bed with a large tarpaulin on the surface covering a conical object.
He was told to shoot anyone who tried to get too close. He was advised the truck was bound for Wright Patterson AFB, which is the reputed home of other crashed saucers.
The other witness was a building contractor who was asked two days later to take a load of 6,500 special bricks to a hangar inside Wright Patterson. When he sneaked a look inside the hangar he saw a bell-shaped device, some 12 feet high sitting there. Several men wearing white anti-radiation style suits were inspecting the object.
After he had been escorted out he was told that he had just seen an object that would become common knowledge in 20 years time, like Pure Garcinia Cambogia which was tested in 1998 and popular until recently.
Investigator Robert Young, for one, became an advocate of the Military’s official explanation. Stan Gordon, on the other hand, believed the eye witness accounts, and the cover-up theory. Gordon took his findings to the next level, producing a 92 minute documentary video of his findings, titled “Kecksburg: The Untold Story.”
As to be expected, alternative theories were put forward by skeptics and debunkers, such as the reentering of the Russian VENUS probe, but this scenario was rejected by the American and Russian governments.
One interesting footnote to this haunting tale came from the widow of John Murphy, who shortly after his death, publicly stated that her husband had been one of the first on the scene, and had actually photographed the strange craft.
Supposedly, these valuable snapshots were confiscated by Military officers, and Murphy was instructed not to discuss what he knew, unless he wanted to suffer severe consequences.
In January 1980 UFO investigator Clark McClelland interviewed the assistant fire chief of Kecksburg, James Mayes, and Melvin Reese, another fireman. They reported that their team had come within sixty meters of the object. They had seen an object on the ground that had smashed its way through the trees.
Mayes explained how the military had cordoned off the woods and had established a temporary base, complete with telecom link. Fire chief Robert Bitner would later confirm this story. He also said he had seen an object that was about 6 feet high, 6 feet wide, and some 15 feet long, clearly not an aircraft.
It was resting at an angle on the ground as if it had impacted nearly horizontally. Another fire officer, ‘Pete’, stated he had seen a ring of bumpers around it into which were described some pictorial symbols.
In 1990, researcher Stan Gordon from the Pennsylvania Association for the Study of the Unexplained, traced an apparent first-hand witness, James Romansky. He recalled seeing the object on the ground some 25 years previously, when he was an 18 year old fire fighter.
He had been called to duty that night following concerns that an airplane had crashed.
He described the object as bronze coloured and shaped like an acorn-some 12 feet long and 25 feet in diameter; it had slightly raised “blunt” end and strange markings.
“It had writing on it, not like your average writing, but more like ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. It had sort of a bumper on it, like a ribbon about six to 10 inches wide, and it stood out.
It was elliptical the whole way around and the writing was on this bumper.It’s nothing like I’ve ever seen, and I’m an avid reader. I read a lot of books on Egypt, the Incas, Peruvians, Russians and I’ve never to this day come across anything that looked like that.”
On 08-29-05, the UFO Casebook received this information from a person who was an eyewitness to the object that soared over Kecksburg.
B J, I was on some site about the Kecksburg sighting. It told the story and asked if anyone had an opinion about it. Well, I lived in Pittsburgh at the time that this occurred. Brian Vike wrote about his experience, and when I read it I was floored.
I had forgotten about this ever happening until I watched the Brian Gumbel special. Brian Vike also said he recalled the incident. His sighting and mine are so similar.
I was at a drive-in movie that night with my boyfriend. He wanted to get there early to get a good spot. I can’t remember how long after we arrived there when it happened. All of a sudden the sky lit up.
“What the heck is that I asked?”
The sphere or the ball like object was very low in the sky and was burning and had a long firey tail. The color to me had a greenish color to it. I would say it was in my view for at least 4 seconds, maybe 5 seconds.
But of course in those days we thought it was only a meteor.
And the next day it was confirmed on the radio it was. After all these years that have passed it’s truly amazing to me how much of it I can still remember.
Thank you B J, and getting this computer is wonderful. And know I can relate what I”ve seen, and hope what I will see in the future I can relate them to you, and everyone else out there that is interested in the UFO phenomenon.
The Kecksburg crash, in many ways similar to the Roswell case, remains an extremely interesting one, and is still considered “unsolved.”

Posted by Editor on 12/14/06
Most people in the Canadian cycling community are aware by now that a new CEO will join the Canadian Cycling Association (CCA) at the beginning of the new year. Lorraine Lafrenière is presently Chief Operating Officer of Coaching Association of Canada (CAC). Prior to that, Ms Lafrenière came to the CAC from the local high tech sector where she held the position of Director, Marketing and Partnerships with Kanatek Technologies, a leading networked storage systems integration company. She also worked with the Canadian Olympic Committee for a number of years, including holding leadership positions with the mission staff at numerous Olympic Summer and Winter Games, Pan American Games, and World Championships. She was Press Chief of the Canadian team at the 1996 Olympics Games in Atlanta.
I had the chance to sit down with Ms Lafrenière shortly after her appointment was announced. We spent nearly an hour discussing cycling in Canada, the CCA, her background, and what she hopes to bring to the CCA. This was as much a 'get to know you' chat as an interview, but below are some broad outlines of what Ms Lafrenière hopes to accomplish.
The main impression I came away with was of a high energy, confident and decisive individual. Steve Lacelle, the previous COO at the CCA, came from a corporate and finance background, while Lafrenière is a sports administrator and marketer. Lafrenière admitted up front that she does not know the sport of cycling, and has a lot to learn about the specifics of the sport, however, at the CAC "I've seen 65 sports, and how they operate. I know people in many sports, and will borrow, beg and steal best practices from everywhere."
I asked Lafrenière what she considered the three greatest priorities facing the CCA are. She says (in no particular order): "Beijing, the partnership with the provinces/territories, and staff/organizational capacity and effectiveness."
In each of these areas there is work to be done.
Beijing - "This is the short term - we are coming to the crunch time - and we need to balance this versus the long term plans. Really, both are a priority, but the reality is that we can't ignore Beijing and not support the athletes."
Partnership with provinces/territories - "Cycling has people who are so dedicated, who want to see things happen. I think that there is frustration (in the relationships with provinces and territories). This is a really big thing; the partnership needs to be defined."
"For example, the LTAD (Long Term Athlete Development) model is a great concept, but it has to be implemented. The reality is different (from the concept), and we can't expect the same of all provinces."
Organizational capacity and effectiveness - "The accountability of the national office needs to improve. We need to be more responsive to our partners - our sponsors, the provinces, the athletes and the coaches."
"I have a very strong partnership with the federal government. This is very important - they want to see where their dollars are going, and see accountability. Part of our job is to make them look good."
"One of the things hockey did after the dismal performance in '98 (Olympics in Nagano) was they had a hockey summit. But the trick is that afterwards you have to do something with everything you brought up. I can do the 'something with it afterwards.' I am here to give focus; all the Board should have to do is oversight - checks and balances."
Lafrenière points to her time at CAC as an example of what she plans to accomplish. "At Coaching I took it from a $3.5 million budget to over $5 million, with sponsorship now up over half a million dollars - now Coaching is hiring a Director of Sponsorship for the first time. I restructured the organization there, so we didn't have nonessential systems that weren't servicing core areas. At Coaching this led to some really difficult times, almost dismantling times. But at the end of it we had a new Board, a new governance structure, and now Coaching is seeing the benefits."
Another area where Ms Lafrenière has identified shortcomings in cycling is in the profile and brand development of the sport. "I went to the website (of the CCA) and there is no public profile on doping, no stand. I thought 'look at all the things we need to work on' . We have a profile to build, partnerships to build, and it's not going to happen overnight."
So what about the finger pointing that goes on towards the success of skiing and swimming? Does she think cycling can aspire to that? "Both of those sports are doing great things; Ken Read in skiing, Pierre Fontaine in swimming, and Anne Merkling in coaching, but cycling is not these sports in Canada ... All of these are examples of best practices. I've already spoken with Anne and told her 'I want to know what you are doing'. I don't have all the answers, the answers will come from our partners and in developing best practices."
"In the past sponsor involvement was seen as goodwill, so you took their (sponsorship) and moved on. Now, we have to involve them more. I see more interest in sponsorship, and these things happen in tandem. When one sponsor sees another step up to the plate, they think 'something's happening there, maybe I should be there.' "
But what about 2010 (Winter Olympics), won't summer sports lose out to all the interest in these Canadian Winter Games?
"You have to fight for it. Yes, you are absolutely right, that there is some of that. But, we do also have the Road to Excellence for summer sports (and cycling has received funding from this program). I know that when you get an Olympic Games in your home country, it is the one time when sport moves off the sports pages, and that can be broader than just the winter sports. There are many opportunities."
I came away with the feeling that Ms Lafrenière recognizes that cycling is at a critical juncture in its development, and looks forward to steering the sport through the turbulent times ahead. The next 18 months should be very interesting...

HMN-Fire Engineering will be hosting a webcast on January 24th, 2019 entitled “Firefighter Rescue and Hazmat” hosted by HazMatNation Editor In Chief Phil Ambrose. Join us by registering for the webcast HERE.
When there is a possibility of victim rescue, firefighters often swing the risk vs. gain decision in favor of entering the toxic atmosphere. Fire conditions and victim survivability are quickly assessed, knowing a self-contained breathing apparatus will provide fresh breathing air in an immediately dangerous to life or health environment. Modern products of combustion are extremely toxic and contain numerous chemicals, and the environment can be extremely challenging because of heat, low visibility, fire conditions, and the potential for the environment to get even worse.
Then, why is it that we go in when smoke is showing but often stage for the hazmat team when chemicals may be present? The webcast delves into this issue through interactive discussion and analysis of case histories, the dispelling of myths, and reviewing actions responders can take at these incidents.
Please join us for this webcast sponsored by Dräger.
Check out “Firefighter Rescue and HAZMAT” this year at FDIC 2019.
Phil Ambrose will be presenting for his third year in a row on April 11th, 2019 at the Fire Department Instructor’s Conference held in Indianapolis, Indiana. | <urn:uuid:e44c98ca-15e4-4068-809d-537601692f4d> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.hazmatnation.com/webcast-fire-engineering-presents-firefighter-rescue-hazmat-phil-ambrose/ | 2019-07-20T12:13:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.93917 | 278 |

# of Players: 2 to 6 players
Pandante second edition comes in two forms, regular and deluxe. Please keep in mind that I reviewed the deluxe edition and can not explain what is all contained in the regular edition. The deluxe edition takes Pandante to the professional poker player level. The chips are high grade, pro level clay poker chips. The metal panda coin is very heavy and looks great. The cards are standard card stock cards. I do like the art on everything, but if you dislike pandas then you probably will not like the art. The insert and box are beautifully designed and hold everything perfectly. The lining is very smooth and the exterior of the box gives it an heirloom feel to the set. The rule book and quick start guide help you get in the game fast. The rules do take a read or two to fully understand the flow of the game. Contained in the rules are variants for Diamond Dream Mode and playing with real money.
Pandante has a similar flow as Texas Hold'em Poker. Players will each be dealt 2 cards and pay in 3 coins to the pot to play the round. You will then reveal 3 community cards called the Splash. In Pandante, you will then then bet 2 coins on the highest type of hand you think you will have or lie to have. After everyone has bet on the type of hand,players will then have the option to snack. Player's one at a time will decide if they want to draw a card and discard a card. The person who bet on the highest type of hand gets to do this for free. Every other player that bet a lower type of hand has to pay 2 coins per level lower than the highest if they want to draw a card. After everyone has chosen to snack or not, the 4th card called the Paws will be revealed to everyone. Another round of betting on your highest type of hand you are saying you have and another snack round. Finally the fifth card called the Tail will be revealed. You will have another betting round, but no snack this time. Instead you will go into the ability round. This is were players will have the option to use 0,1,2 abilities from either the light or dark side that was chosen before the round. After abilities have been used, the person with the highest claimed hand will go into the showdown.
Pandante is the gamer version of Texas Hold 'em Poker. The rules take a little while to understand, but that is due to years of regular poker. I did not play first edition, but have heard this edition is much faster than the original. The game moves pretty fast and can get very interesting with challenges and cards changing at the last minute due to abilities. If you do not own poker chips and want a really nice set, Pandante deluxe does offer that to you. The quality is there for the price. If price is an issue, there is a regular edition that can be purchased for much cheaper. I really enjoyed this version of a poker card game and would play this again on a poker night or game night. Panda champion and casino cards add some great variety to make things interesting each play. There was some confusion on the tie-break and showdown, but after reading the rules in those sections a few times will clear up any confusion. I went into playing this thinking it was going to be another card game that changes things up slightly, but Pandante is unique and a lot of fun. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys playing card games like poker or rummy. This is also a great game to play with parents and grandparents. Pandante will be staying in my collection and I look forward to breaking it out next card game night.
+Deluxe version provides high quality components
+ Panda Champions and Casinos add extra variety and replay
+ Keeps a good game pace
- Some rules can be confusing for those used to poker and it's variants
- Not for those who do not enjoy casino style card games
- Some panda abilities may be more powerful than others | <urn:uuid:124c0dbd-49a9-4b53-8fcc-21a85b12920b> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.so1ks.com/tacos-take-reviews/category/pandante | 2019-07-20T11:25:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.96777 | 835 |

We Were Not Prepared: Celebrating World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade
Nine years ago, we saw the end of what everyone considers "Vanilla" World of Warcraft. Three years after the successful launch of World of Warcraft, Blizzard finally stepped in and released something that we all knew was inevitably going to happen—an expansion. Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness got the Beyond the Dark Portal expansion, Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos got The Frozen Throne expansion, and StarCraft got the Brood War expansion over the years; it would make sense that Blizzard's multi-million dollar journey into the massively multiplayer online role-playing game scene would have one as well. Little did we know that we'd be venturing into the Dark Portal one more time.
For the first two years of World of Warcraft, everything was fine and dandy, but fans still had a lot on their minds pertaining to all the big baddies we've seen throughout Warcraft I-III and their subsequent expansions. While we were trying to fight Ragnaros under Blackrock Mountain, Warcraft vets had a lot of questions. What happened to Illidan Stormrage, Draenor, the Dark Portal, Kil'jaeden, Lady Vashj, Kael'thas, the Blood Elves, Hellfire Citadel, the Fel Orcs corrupted by the blood of Mammaroth and the Burning Legion? Well, Blizzard finally answered most of those questions with the release of the Burning Crusade, World of Warcraft's first major expansion.
The Burning Crusade granted players access to Outland, the shattered remnants of the Orc homeworld of Draenor. The level cap raised from 60 to 70. At level 60 (later knocked down to a requirement of 58), players were able to enter the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands and proceed into Hellfire Peninsula, the first zone of Outland. What they found was a warzone. The Alliance and Horde threw their differences aside to rally together and fight the invasion of the Burning Legion. With armies of demons forcing their way to the Dark Portal to invade Azeroth, it was up to players to sabotage the Legion's forces and put a stop to the hordes of Fel Orcs that were behind them. You would then go on to the vibrant swamps of Zangarmarsh, the planes of Nagrand, Terokar Forest, Blade's Edge Mountains, Netherstorm, and eventually Shadowmoon Valley. Nagrand had a clan of brown Orcs that thrived, avoiding the corruption of Mammaroth. Blade's Edge Mountains was filled with ogres. Terokar was home to Shattrath City. Netherstorm's shattered, floating islands were home to Kael'thas' armies. Lastly, Illidan made his home atop the Black Temple of Shadowmoon Valley.
These zones were varied, offered tons of content, intricate storylines, and made the MMORPG experience feel new, especially for those who played the heck out of Vanilla WoW. Blizzard also added two new races for the game: Draenei for the Alliance and Blood Elves for the Horde. This gave the Horde access to the previously Alliance-exclusive Paladin class, and the Draenei were given the formerly Horde-only Shaman class. The game added intricate raids, where you had to fight the Burning Legion's gravest threats, ending with an assault on the Black Temple with an unforgettable, climactic fight against Illidan.
Best of all, the Burning Crusade expansion added controllable flying mounts to the game. You were previously able to use Flight Paths to fly from point to point across the map in an automated fashion, but flying mounts allowed you complete control through the skies, irrevocably changing the gameplay experience out in the wilds of Outland. Want to do a quest? Now, you don't have to clear all the monsters between you and your target. Instead, you just fly up, soar over the threats, land, do your thing, and leave. Likewise, this allowed for all kinds of surprise PVP encounters and tons of ganking. Nevertheless, we love the Burning Crusade for what it was, and it marks one of our favorite eras in World of Warcraft history, one that would only be surpassed a year and a half later with the next expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. | <urn:uuid:aa3ad9a8-028e-40f7-a476-c82f6cefde1c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://arcadesushi.com/we-were-not-prepared-celebrating-world-of-warcraft-burning-crusade/ | 2019-07-20T12:36:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.954796 | 865 |
Use your stability ball to get a rock-hard stomach using these easy stability ball ab exercises!
A few weeks ago I talked about some of the benefits of using a stability ball with traditional exercises (see that article here). I mentioned that many times I only ever see people using stability balls to work their abdominals. That was not to take away the benefits that stability balls have on the abdominals, but to get you to think about the many other exercises you can do with them.
Today, I want to give you a few more stability ball ab exercises that only target your midsection and go far beyond the standard crunch. Of course, we will start with the standard crunch because, let’s face it, when executed properly it can be one of the most beneficial exercises to really tone those abs.
Alternate adding 2-3 of these stability ball ab exercises into your daily workout routine to strengthen and tone the abdominals, or complete the entire workout for a serious ab burner.
Stability Ball Crunch
As I mentioned, a basic stability ball crunch can be one of the most beneficial ab exercises using the ball. However, as a trainer, I see so many people performing this exercise incorrectly. This exercise should be performed SLOW and with control. Fast, bouncing, and jerky movements will have no effect and will use momentum instead of muscles to move through each exercise.
To correctly perform this exercise, start by having a seat on the ball. If the ball is the correct size, your thighs should be parallel to the floor. Walk your feet about a foot in front of you so that the ball is in the small of your back. Position your feet hip-distance apart with a 90-degree bend in your knees. Place your hands behind your head, but don’t pull at the neck. Slightly extend your spine over the ball to feel a small stretch in your abs.
To perform the crunch, firmly place your weight in your heels and use your abdominals to curl your torso up a few inches, trying to bring your ribs to your hips and pulling your abs in tight. Extend back over the ball and repeat 15-20 times.
Too many times people “bounce” on the ball, or the ball rolls forward and backward when they do crunches. Unfortunately, this is “cheating” and you won’t get any abdominal benefits from performing them this way. So remember, take your time and know that sometimes smaller movements are more effective than larger movements.
Stability Ball Oblique Crunch
This exercise is very similar to the previous one, only this time the focus is on the obliques. To do this exercise, you will start the same as the basic crunch. As you are ready to “crunch” up you will rotate to engage your RIGHT obliques. As you lift your chest, simultaneously twist your shoulders to the right.
Focus on bringing the LEFT ribs to the RIGHT hip and keeping your feet planted firmly. The ball will slightly move for this exercise, but again, a smaller, slower, and more controlled movement is more beneficial. Complete 10-15 on each side, focusing on one side at a time OR alternating side to side.
Russian Twists on the Stability Ball
This exercise can be performed with or without a dumbbell, depending on your ability. It focuses on the obliques and twisting from the torso. To get into the correct position, walk your feet a few inches further in front of you so that your shoulder blades, neck, and head are supported on the ball. Your thighs and torso should be parallel to the floor with your glutes engaged.
Clasp your hands together with a 5-10 pound dumbbell in between them if you desire, and your arms straight up to the ceiling. Keep your feet steady as you rotate your torso, shoulders, and your arms to the RIGHT. Engage your LEFT obliques to pull yourself (and the weight) back up to the center. Repeat to the other side engaging the RIGHT side obliques to come back up. Complete 10 repetitions on each side.
Adding a stability ball to this popular exercise adds just the slightest bit of extra resistance, making the exercise more challenging. Start by laying on your back with your arms by your sides and your spine glued to the mat. Place the ball between your feet and use your inner thighs to slightly squeeze the ball. Extend your legs straight up to the ceiling and engage your abdominals.
Lower your legs, reaching them out away from you, to a point where you feel like you’re just about to lose your abdominal engagement, then pull the ball back up focussing on the lower abdominals. Make sure your never go too low, keep your abs tight the entire time, and your back always glued to the mat. Complete 10 repetitions.
Similar to the exercise above, you will start on your back with your legs straight in the air. This time, open your arms out to the sides into a T position. Keep your abs engaged and your back connected to the mat as you slowing and carefully lower to ball over to the RIGHT, barely lifting your LEFT hip off the ground and keeping your shoulder glued to the floor. Use your LEFT side oblique to bring the ball to center and alternate to the other side. Complete 5 repetitions on each side.
Stability Ball Pass
This move combines the best of both worlds with a crunch and leg lowers to really target those upper and lower abs. Start by laying on your back, holding the ball between your feet just as in the leg lowers. Extend your arms overhead and slightly raise up into a small crunch, keeping your back against the mat.
Lower the ball to your point of control and use the lower abs to bring it back up. At the top, pass the ball into your hands in a high crunch. Lower the legs and lower the arms with the ball overhead, so that the ball just hovers over the floor. Crunch back up to pass the ball back to the legs to complete one full repetition. Complete 5-10 repetitions total.
Now that you’re armed with a few new abdominal exercises, you will always have a variety of exercises to do with the stability ball. Just remember, go nice and SLOW, and no bouncing!

I'm Candace and I'm a destination wedding & portrait photographer based out of the Washington, D.C. area. Chances are you won't find me in the DMV for too long. Come and explore my corner of the world with me!
Hot dang what a wedding these to hadmy friends. I can’t think of two people more down to earth than Shawn + Katie. And let me tell ya, they had a picture perfect day from start to finish at the always beautiful Jefferson Patterson Park, celebrated by all of their friends and family. Im not sure I could have planned a better wedding. My day started at Katies sisters home with all of her sisters and her bff’s. Watching Katie get all dolled up and then step in her stunner of a wedding gown AND THEN get buttoned up by her niece, Ella, was the sweetest thing! Watching Katie walk up her to soon-to-be husband for their first look was the second sweetest thing. Shawn looked so handsome and you would be lying to yourself if you didn’t agree that Katie is a stunning bride.
Their first dance was the BEST. They swayed and sung and then out of no where they started swinging each other around, letting loose and laughing and just having the best time. Shawns family even has this tradition where they all get together and sing every year. It was in another language but they invited everyone on to the stage to take part and it was awesome to witness. I always feel bad because when I share on the blog, it really is the smallest little glimpse into such a big day. So enjoy this scroll because its a good one.

From CBS News today: Mitt Romney has closed the gap with President Obama among registered voters, a CBS News/New York Times poll released Wednesday found, putting the former Massachusetts governor in a dead heat with the president for the White House.
How important is this pronouncement? It’s at the top of both the Times’ and CBS’s websites. The media love polls like this that track likely voters and how they might vote were the election held today. But in the scheme of things? Hard to tell. In mid-April, they aren’t the greatest predictor of November election results.
According to “The Timeline of Presidential Election Campaigns: How Campaigns Do (And Do Not) Matter,” a forthcoming book by Robert S. Erikson and Christopher Wlezien, the accuracy of these national horse-race polls isn’t high right now.
The Huffington Post, which has seen the book, explains: In late October, polls will be highly predictive of the outcome, but now, with more than 200 days remaining until the election, the predictive accuracy of polling is less than 50/50.
Check back in October.
P.S. For the record, the Elon University Poll doesn’t do horse-race polling. It surveys opinions of North Carolina residents on issues, not on who they are going to vote for.

A Newton County man, 35-year-old Christopher Day of Jasper, entered a not guilty plea in circuit court Wednesday to felony charges of aggravated assault and terroristic threatening. Day also faces a misdemeanor count of three-degree battery.
The charges stem from an incident in October 2018 following a trade Day and another man made involving a motorcycle and an RV. Day is alleged to have returned to the other man’s residence and demanded they trade back the items.
When the man refused to trade back, Day reportedly threatened to burn down his home with his girlfriend and her daughter inside.
The man told law enforcement he felt threatened and went inside the residence for the key and the title to the RV. When he came out, Day and the man’s girlfriend were reportedly engaged in an altercation. Following about 10 minutes of yelling and cursing, Day left.
The following morning, the man went to Day’s residence to pick up items he had left in the RV. The man was greeted at the door by Day’s father. The two agreed to speak outside in an attempt not to wake Day. who was reportedly asleep on the sofa.
While talking on the porch, Day is alleged to have exited the house with a shotgun, yelling and screaming. As Day raised the single-shot weapon, the end of the barrel struck the man in the leg as the trigger was pulled firing a shot. Day then allegedly hit the man in the face with his fist and again threatened to burn down his house. The father then intervened, asking the man to leave to diffuse the situation.
Day’s bond was set at $20,000. | <urn:uuid:45369e8f-ef97-4c61-9b51-6d0e4ed389bf> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://hometowndailynewsarchives.com/2019/02/11/plea-entered-in-trade-dispute-case-leading-to-shotgun-blast/ | 2019-07-20T11:25:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.979407 | 338 |
Apple Crisp & Bourbon Cream TrifleRecipe By: Anna Olson
Not a typical trifle, this holiday dessert by Anna Olson is made by layering chilled apple crisp with a bourbon spiked pastry cream and toasted pecans.
- 6 cups peeled & diced apples (any variety)
- 1⁄4 cup + 1⁄2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1⁄2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1⁄4 cups regular rolled oats
- 1/3 cup all‐purpose flour
- 1⁄2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1⁄2 cup half‐and‐half cream
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 1⁄4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 1⁄2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp bourbon
Whipped Cream & Assembly:
- 1 1⁄2 cups whipping cream
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp bourbon, plus extra for sprinkling
- 1 recipe Apple Crisp, chilled
- 1 1⁄2 cups lightly toasted pecan halves
- Ground cinnamon, for garnish
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Toss the apples with 1⁄4 cup of the brown sugar and the vanilla and spread it into an 8‐cup baking dish.
- Stir the oats, the remaining 1⁄2 cup of brown sugar, flour, and the cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir until evenly combined. Sprinkle this over the apples and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the fruit is bubbling at the edges and the crisp is evenly browned. Cool 15 minutes before serving with ice cream.
* The crisp will keep, refrigerated, for up to 2 days.
Pastry Cream & Assembly
- Bring the cream and milk up to a simmer in a saucepot. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, brown sugar, cornstarch and vanilla. Slowly pour in the hot cream while whisking and pour the entire mixture back into the pot. Whisk the custard over medium heat until it has thickened and just begins to bubble, about 3 minutes. Pour the cooked custard through a strainer and stir in the butter. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly over the surface of the pastry cream and chill completely. Once chilled, stir in the bourbon.
- Whip the cream until they hold a soft peak. Fold 1 cup of the whipped cream into the pastry cream. Stir in the sugar, vanilla and 2 tbsp of bourbon into the remaining whipped cream.

In May of this year, the enormously popular Pope Francis issued the Roman Catholic Church’s first authoritative document on the environment: “Laudato Si’.” The pope titled the encyclical (or teaching letter) after a prayer by Francis of Assisi (that patron saint of animals and the pope’s namesake), who proclaimed: “Laudato Si’ (or ‘Praised Be’) to you, Oh Lord, for our sister, Mother Earth, who sustains us and keeps us.” The encyclical is revolutionary for a number of reasons—not the least because of its controversial subject matter. For one, unlike past encyclicals, Pope Francis does not address this one to the bishops but to all humans, who share this planet, “our common home.” In doing so, Francis not only makes this message universal—one that crosses religious and cultural boundaries—but he highlights our human connectedness as well as our common dependence on this planet, our “home.”
In a particularly compelling paragraph, the pope illustrates humanity’s connection with non-human nature. He writes: “The created things of this world are not free of ownership: ‘For they are yours, O Lord, who love the living’… As part of the universe, called into being by one Father, all of us are linked by unseen bonds and together form a kind of universal family, a sublime communion which fills us with a sacred, affectionate and humble respect.” 1 The pope’s words echo the sentiment of Psalm 24: “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.” Everything belongs to the Creator, the Psalmist reminds us. And all of creation is bound together by our common Creator. In other words, we humans belong to the same Creator as the dog who barks in the yard, the oak that grows in forest, and the bird that swoops overhead to protect her nest. We are, in Francis’s words, a “universal family, a sublime communion.”
Nearly five hundred years ago, the Reformed theologian John Calvin communicated a similar sentiment. He rooted his idea of the interconnection of the earth’s creatures in his theology of Creator Spirit. Contrary to what many of us think of when we hear his name, Calvin did not only champion the sovereignty of God; he also wrote illustratively about God’s intimacy with the natural world. In the first book of his Institutes, Calvin’s doctrine of creation is replete with the Spirit. 2 Following Augustine, he insists that the Spirit of God is not some distant, detached Lord but is as close to us as our breath is to our body. The Creator Spirit, Calvin says, is present to all creatures, being “spread abroad throughout all the parts of the world,” and giving “force, vigor… and motion to all living creatures that it may preserve them.” 3 Although nearly half a millennium separates us from this passage, I believe it has important consequences for us today. More specifically, Calvin’s affirmation of the Spirit indwelling, or “transfusing,” all of creation suggests that humans and non-human creation are bound together in the indwelling Spirit. 4 We really are a “universal family.”
According to Calvin, we draw the same life-breath as other creatures. 5 Yet, humans are inspired by the Spirit in a uniquely human way. As such, we have a distinctly human responsibility (or vocation, to use a term Calvin loved) to preserve the earth with God. Like many people concerned about the ecological crisis, I have taken a number of steps in my own life to be a better steward of the earth. But I am nevertheless challenged by Pope Francis’s exhortation to think and act “with a sacred, affectionate and humble respect” for the rest of creation. (This is a call to a new attitude, which bears profound consequences for my spiritual, ethical, social, and economic life!) Getting more specific, the pope implores his readers to integrate planetary concerns into their spirituality. He urges, “The ecological crisis is a summons to a profound interior conversion… an ecological conversion.” 6 The call to action, Pope Francis argues, begins with a conversion of the heart. Now, I know the language of “ecological conversion” might strike some as a bit New-Age-y or even idolatrous. But the appeal to a conversion to the earth does not imply the divinization of creation. Nor is it meant to detract from the worship of God. In fact, an ecological conversion is wholly theocentric when, following John Calvin, we direct our praise toward the Spirit dwelling within creation. The reformer reminds us that when we notice “that continued inspiration [he’s speaking here of the Spirit], by which all things are maintained in life and vigour,” we should be incited to praise our Creator. 7 Theocentrism does not preclude cosmocentricism. An ecological conversion is both; for, in addition to giving God due praise, it advocates for the value of the natural world as a place that is infused with the very Spirit of God.
You may be wondering what an ecological conversion might look like in practical terms. What might it mean for the life of the individual, and the church? Recently, my home congregation (Community Reformed Church in Manhasset, New York) joined a three-year certification program with GreenFaith toward the goal of becoming a certified “green” house of worship. 8 One of the requirements of the program is to integrate Eco-Sundays into the church’s worship calendar. On Eco-Sunday, the congregation adopts a creation-centered theme—such as water, land, biodiversity, or food. The chosen theme is woven into our liturgy and hymns. It is explicated in the preaching of the Word, which focuses on what Scripture has to say about the topic. Our communal prayers are also ecological: we lift up victims of ecocide—both human and non-human—and call for God to give us a heart, a will, and the creativity to preserve creation. After worship, we gather to pray over and plant a tree on church property. In that holy moment, we are reminded to take heed of the beauty of nature around us—to recognize “the goodness of God in his works” and to respond in gratitude and praise. 9
The communal act of honoring creation in worship and congregational activities may be the catalyst for individuals to experience an “ecological conversion.” This conversion can be expressed in a number of ways. During a devotional time or personal meditation, one might be inspired to offer prayers for endangered animals, polluted lands and sea, and the climate. An individual might be inspired to be more mindful of her dependence upon the “universal family” and act in ways that support the flourishing of creation. 10 To be sure, prayer, creativity, contemplation, humility, collaboration are integral to our uniquely human vocation of preserving the earth with the Spirit. The call to action on behalf of the earth is also intimately tied to a conversion of the heart—a conversion to God’s capacious and glorious creation, “our common home.”

purpose. The hexosamine biosynthetic pathway is one of the possible mechanisms involved in diabetic keratopathy. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of O-glycoside–linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification of proteins in the pathogenesis of diabetic keratopathy in the Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat, which has spontaneous development of diabetes.
methods. An anti-O-GlcNAc antibody, an anti-O-GlcNAc transferase antibody, and digoxigenin (DIG)-labeled cRNA probes were used to examine the localization of O-GlcNAc–modified proteins, O-GlcNAc transferase protein and mRNA in the corneas of diabetic GK rats and in those of nondiabetic Wistar rats. The corneas from Wistar rats were organ cultured in control medium or in medium containing 100 μM O-(2-acetamide-2-deoxy-d-glucopyranosylidene) amino-N-phenyl-carbamate (PUGNAc), an inhibitor of O-GlcNAcase, the enzyme that removes O-GlcNAc from proteins. The morphologic changes were examined by electron microscopy.
results. In normal corneas, immunoreactive O-GlcNAc and O-GlcNAc transferase were observed in the epithelial, endothelial, and stromal cells. In the diabetic corneas, their immunoreactivities in the epithelium were increased in intensity. Morphologically, the number of hemidesmosomes in the epithelial basal cells was lower than that in those cells from the nondiabetic rats. In some areas, the basement membrane had detached from the epithelial basal cells. The PUGNAc treatment of Wistar rat corneas increased the level of O-GlcNAc immunoreactivity and caused a decrease in the number of hemidesmosomes and the detachment of corneal epithelial cells from the basement membrane.
conclusions. The elevated expression of O-GlcNAc–modified proteins and O-GlcNAc transferase may play a causative role in the corneal epithelial disorders of diabetic GK rats.

'Fraser should have broken the c---'s nose'
FAR-right extremism and "s---posting” has been under a spotlight since the Christchurch terror attack, and The Gympie Times Facebook page has not been immune to disturbing, threat-laced comments.
A series of articles about the events - from the Senator's controversial comments criticising Islam mere hours after 50 Muslims were killed in the Christchurch terror attacks, to his egging at the hands of a 17-year-old teen - attracted hundreds of comments, some of which dived straight into violent rhetoric.
One particular Facebook user highlighted the problem in spades.
In one response he welcomed the alleged Christchurch terrorist's actions. Spelling errors have not been corrected.
"Have you seen what Islam dos to (gay people)?
The user then followed this up with support for the five men who wrestled the teen to the ground in a headlock in the incident involving the egging of Senator Anning.
"Their bodyguards ya dumb c---.....it's what their payed (sic) for...”
The teenager has been widely lauded for his actions in the media, despite legal experts saying they amount to common assault under the law.
Almost $40,000 was crowd-funded for any legal fees he may incur, and a few online readers said he deserved a medal.
However, there were many more who said the teen deserved punishment outside the law.
Another user suggested police brutality was an appropriate response.
"Back in my day ....ha the ole police lock up and phone book flogging in the cell ...that'll learn the young whipper snapper.”
Yet another said excessive force would be reasonable.
"He should have hit the POS a few more times; maybe given a couple boots to the ribs.”
"Should have punched him harder and learnt him some respect,” was the response from another user.
And another user argued a broken egg should result in nothing less than broken bones.
"F---- bunch of precious no braining pansies.
"Fraser should of broken the c---- nose.”
Some nuance to be found
ASIDE from some offensive rhetoric, The Gympie Times Facebook page attracted some more nuanced comments about the events involving Senator Fraser Anning in the past week.
Christine Blanckensee: This is not acceptable egging someone is bullying if you don't agree with any politicians vote them out.
Mary Assumpta Mulholland: No it was out of order. But the reaction of the thug bodyguards was way over the top and extremely violent.
Nikki Thorburn-Bruce: I am no fan of Anning, but the egging was the first instance of assault. He was provoked and retaliated. Surely not one would waste a courts time on an incident so naff.
Kerrie McKewin: They both should be. You don't hit people in the head with an egg or a fist. Yes defend yourself but he hit him and than went him that was fighting not defending
Jo Lee: Why is he (Senator Anning) not allowed to have an opinion. Isn't condemning others for not sharing the same views what started this mess in the first place ?????
Margie Spotts: This sort of ignorance incites hatred and fear. It has nothing to do with gun laws: it has everything to do with bigotry and lack of education. Try respect and kindness.
Mike Arthur: I think his remarks make him just as bad as any right wing Christian/Muslim/radical generaliser who fails to see the humanity in an awful situation. To the people who are commenting "what about Bali, what about the christians”... the world is outraged every time something like that happens. Because just like Muslims praying in a mosque, the victims of these tragedies are humans too! The mentality of "well they deserve it because they have done other things” doesn't make any sense. The people in that mosque were just normal people, not fanatics or terrorists themselves, but dads and brothers. They owned businesses, taught in universities, studied, helped the community and were human beings. Some of the people who died were innocent children. How can you sit there and say "well they deserve it”? You don't deserve to be killed because a white Australian went into a mosque and killed 50 people. So why do they deserve to be killed because there are fanatical people out there who use their religion to validate their own awful actions? We are all just people, just human beings. | <urn:uuid:abb079de-57e5-4cab-8341-f0c7894a89a2> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://m.gympietimes.com.au/news/fraser-should-have-broken-the-c-s-nose/3677258/ | 2019-07-20T12:02:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.974149 | 954 |
Tools of the Trade: Building a Robust Deal Pipeline of Impact Companies in Emerging Economies – Part 2
Editor’s Note: Led by contributors from NextBillion’s Managing Partner, New Ventures, this is the third in a series of articles (the first can be found here and the second is here) showcasing the achievements of environmental entrepreneurs with insights from impact investing leaders on how to further scale these enterprises. This article (broken into 3 parts) outlines how various actors in the impact investing space are involved in identifying and investing in environmentally-focused companies in emerging economies.
Whether you’re JP Morgan or a startup social enterprise fund, everyone faces inefficiencies, setbacks, and dead ends in finding and scaling companies. But there is some strength in numbers, and identifying the problems is the first step in solving them.
This article in particular discusses the main barriers and inefficiencies in identifying and selecting impact companies in emerging economies. In order to better understand these issues, I returned to six people involved in helping both identify and invest in environmentally-focused companies in emerging economies. I asked these leaders, whom I previously introduced in part one, how they find companies, the inefficiencies in the process of finding companies and how these inefficiencies can be mitigated.
Limited physical infrastructure, few logistical resources, a lack of incubators and accelerators, and a scarce in-country support networks, were all cited as the top reasons why finding high quality companies is difficult. Interviewees suggested a variety of ways to rectify these inefficiencies, including reaching out beyond the ‘usual suspects,’ funds teaming up with accelerators and incubators, and actively engaging in the creation of in-country support networks.
Once again, the interviewees included:
Ian Fisk, executive director of the William James Foundation, a non-profit organization that manages socially responsible business plan competitions for venture-phase and idea-phase entrepreneurs.
Amos Gilkey, CEO of Clean Wave Group, a for-profit business catalyst and the creative and strategic advisory services business that provides unique and customized client and venture opportunities, strategic partnerships, and new markets potential.
Kevin Jones, co-founder and convener of Social Capital Markets, an annual event series that connects leading global innovators (investors, foundations, institutions and social entrepreneurs) to build the social impact market.
Jesse Last, senior lending and strategy associate at Root Capital, a nonprofit social investment fund that grows rural prosperity in poor, environmentally vulnerable places in Africa and Latin America by lending capital, delivering financial training, and strengthening market connecting for small and growing agricultural businesses.
Walter Vargas, investment officer at E+Co in Costa Rica. E+Co makes clean energy investments in developing countries to provide lasting solutions to climate change and poverty.
Michael Stulman, communications officer for Grassroots Business Fund, a global impact investing organization whose mission is to help build and support high impact businesses that provide sustainable economic opportunities to millions of people living at the base of the economic pyramid.
Get beyond the “usual suspects”: Jones has found that going outside of the nascent world of social enterprise (i.e. in the more mainstream transportation sector) can be a great way to access entrepreneurs because a lot of enterprises don’t yet label themselves “double or triple bottom line”. He finds a lot of potential companies in more mainstream industry events or newsletters.
Aggregation of certifying agencies: Root Capital, which mostly works with rural businesses, must overcome the challenge of identifying companies in remote places with limited infrastructure and technology resources. Last is aware of efforts amongst various organizations in Africa and Latin America, including certifying agencies, trade associations, and technical assistance providers, to bring together the companies they support and put them in touch with financiers that can support long-term, sustainable growth. Root Capital also leverages its Financial Advisory Services arm – a program that supports small and growing businesses in developing financial management capacities – as a source of pipeline.
Compromise between strictly “environmental” and “social” investments: Jones is also finding a lot of momentum among many environmentally-focused funders such as Verde Ventures, which are realizing that preservation is not the complete answer. Many eco-investors have concluded that they need to work with social investors to ensure viable livelihood opportunities for residents living in the areas targeted for preservation.
“It’s been a siloed approach thus far that has to end if we’re gonna make it on this planet; we need more funds that can capture different investor streams,” Jones says.
Use a combination of online resources and in-person contact: Gilkey, of Clean Wave, isn’t convinced that emerging online platforms, which match social enterprises with investors, will on their own increase the efficiency of deals. “The old fashioned ‘just meeting people’ still has a lot of value – but ideally you have a combination of both – technology allows us to maximize our ability to make contact and get to know contacts that weren’t available, but there’s still value to building a relationship in-person,” says Gilkey.
Create the in-country support infrastructure: GBF would like to see more available information on sector analyses and pipeline development for various sectors of choice (i.e. in Indonesia, there is a relatively small, albeit growing ‘social’ VC industry). In order to remedy some of these inefficiencies, GBF has staff based in country, and these staff work closely with several prominent Indonesian business leaders. Together with these leaders, GBF has supported the formation of an Angel Club called SEI, which is modeled after angel investor networks in the U.S., and is composed of prominent local investors.
Lack of logistical resources: Vargas from E+Co laments that they simply don’t have enough logistical resources to find companies; for instance, E+Co has a satellite office in Costa Rica and they do a quarterly sweep in various Central American countries, like Nicaragua, to find companies with in-country staff, but this isn’t sufficient. He also commented that he would like to see a central place where enterprises can go to get access to all of the funds, accelerators, and so forth.
More Business Incubators and Accelerators: In order to rectify the issue of locating higher quality and less risky early stage companies, the William James Foundation works to provide specific, targeted, value-add feedback to companies through their business plan competition. In their case, this means finding and matching companies with the right mentors with the right experience that can provide them with high-level feedback.
Business accelerators can also serve a really important purpose because they help get companies ready for investment. Vargas from E+Co would like to see more business accelerators in Central America, where there are currently only two that he’s been in touch with. In the future, E+Co may consider developing close partnerships with business accelerators.
Note: Part 3 of this article discusses the major lessons learned in finding high quality companies. | <urn:uuid:9a49aa42-80fd-4905-b702-4f3a6062a4af> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://nextbillion.net/tools-of-the-trade-building-a-robust-deal-pipeline-of-impact-companies-in-emerging-economies-part-2/ | 2019-07-20T11:31:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.941195 | 1,469 |
By Rachel Beckles Willson
There’s a bit of a mystery surrounding this oud.
Victor Mahillon, curator of the Museum of Musical Instruments at the Brussels Conservatoire, acquired it from Alexandria in 1879. Saskia Willaert, curator of African Collections at the museum, has gathered sources relating to the purchase, and from these we learn that Mahillon bought the oud and 28 other instruments with the help of several people in Egypt. One of these was a Belgian engineer called Auguste Herpin, who had been entrusted to develop commercial relations between Egypt and Belgium. He was assisted by a Belgian lawyer and amateur flute player Adolphe Courbarien, who in turn drew on his contacts with Hassan Mohammed, the head of the guild of Arab composers, and Mohamed Ibrahim, head of the corporation of poets. The Consul General of Belgium in Egypt was also involved; and the project was facilitated by the fact that the Brussels Conservatoire was under the protection of the Belgian King.
The instrument is decidedly modest, it seems not to be a piece of highly distinguished craftsmanship. Mahillon, who acquired it, observed in his Catalogue that it was ‘smaller and less beautiful than no. 0164’. And it is difficult to be entirely certain of its condition when he received it, as restoration work was conducted by the museum in 2005 in preparation for its exhibition at the Institute du Monde Arabe in Paris. You can read more about that here. It is also a strikingly small instrument, perhaps made for a woman, or perhaps made under the influence of other North African ouds – the so-called oud ‘arbi, for instance. Thanks to Joris De Valck of the museum in Brussels we have the following detailed measurements:
Vibrating String Length – 533mm
Soundboard Width – 298mm
Soundboard Length – 463mm
Neck Length –165mm
Top of Rosette to Bottom of Sound board – 318mm
Front of the Bridge to Bottom of Sound board – 91mm
Depth of body at its maximum point – 184mm
Diameter of the rosette – 78mm
Approx. weight – 675g
What purpose could this small, rather battered oud serve in the museum? According to the Echo Musical, it was to bring the Brussels institution a little closer to its ultimate point, which was to be a complete collection of instruments from around the world.
It is still owned by the Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels. Many thanks to Saskia Willaert for sharing her valuable research. | <urn:uuid:a2783879-ff0d-4f57-a38c-472a779411ce> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://oudmigrations.com/2016/04/18/alexandria-to-brussels-1879/ | 2019-07-20T12:28:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.969415 | 535 |
Editor's note: The Monday sports column is on a brief hiatus for fall break and will return Nov. 10.
The men's cross country team earned Princetonâs first Ivy League championship of the 2014-15 academic year, outpacing the field on a cold and rainy day at the Heptagonal Championships Nov. 1. Michael Sublette '16 led the Tigers, finishing second on the 8,000-meter course at West Windsor Fields. Princetonâs five scoring runners each placed in the top 12.
Women's cross country placed second in the Heps team standings, behind Dartmouth, and Megan Curham '17 won the individual crown, becoming the first Tiger to win gold since Alex Banfich '12 in 2010. She ran the 6,000-meter course in 20:24.3.
After struggling to find the end zone against Harvard last week, Princeton football rebounded on the road at Cornell, scoring 38 points to defeat the Big Red, 38-27. Receiver Connor Kelley '15 had a career day, catching 13 passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Quinn Epperly '15 was sidelined by an injury for the second time in three weeks. Connor Michelson '15 played well in Epperly's place, completing 23 of 33 passes for 281 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception.
Women's soccer beat Cornell, 2-1, and remains alive in the Ivy title chase entering the final set of league games. To win a share of the championship, the Tigers need to beat Penn and get help from Columbia and Cornell, who are playing Harvard and Dartmouth, the two teams ahead of Princeton in the standings. October was a great month for men's soccer , which went 4-1-1 in the middle of its schedule, and November also opened on a positive note: The Tigers' Andrew Mills '15 scored in the 88th minute to defeat Cornell, 2-1, on Nov. 1. Entering its final two Ivy games, Princeton is tied with Dartmouth at the top of the league standings. | <urn:uuid:962c4a15-ad4e-431b-9336-70e48042ab60> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://paw.princeton.edu/node/8831 | 2019-07-20T12:06:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.945805 | 417 |
JASPER, Ga.- Cove Road is currently closed due to a landslide. Picken’s County Sheriff’s Office requests that travelers please use either McClain Mountain Road or Grandview Road.
City Officials have met with a Geostabilization Engineer this morning to conduct a preliminary assessment of the situation on Cove Road.

TTL (Time To Live) is the time to keep the server’s DNS response in the client cache before a new request is made.
By default the TTL is:
- 1 hour for static recordings.
- 20 minutes for dynamic recordings.
In the case of a website migration, it may be necessary to lower the TTL for clients receiving the IP of the new server faster. Once the migration is complete, think about setting the default TTL or higher, the smaller the value, the more the clients make the resolution requests. | <urn:uuid:5bba4aa1-c8d7-496b-a57a-fcec2cb34063> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://rdr-it.com/en/troubleshooting/windows-server-change-the-ttl-of-dns-records/ | 2019-07-20T12:01:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.855822 | 110 |

The ViaBlue ™ SC-6 AIR Silver speaker cable carries six individual cores in a circular layout. The spatial separation of individual drivers is created by the ViaBlue Airpipe.
In this way the existing range of distances between the different frequency ranges that occur in the signal transmissions are drastically reduced and allow a totally real and effective sound.
This complex wiring system consists of a total of 36 (6x6) signal conductors of 5.5mm diameter (684 individual strands) with a total cross-sectional area of 15mm ² and 10 AIRpipe specially designed to provide a total diameter of 26 mm.
The SC-6 AIR Silver cable has 6 main conductors for all imaginable applications such as single-wiring, bi-wiring, bi-amplification and tri-amplification.
Each of the six main conductors is divided into six sub-conductors, which are arranged in a circle around an Airpipe.
By dividing the sub-conductors in a circle, a very low capacitance of about 98 pF / m is obtained which is a prerequisite for a fast and complete signal transmission as well as preventing the load from being cached in the cable himself.
The whole system is protected by a cable and a flexible and satin sheath.
The SC-6 AIR Silver cable delivers impressive sound, even over long distances, thanks to virtually lossless transmission of audio signals. | <urn:uuid:d8c44e5f-774a-46ba-b9e2-8dc5c228a5ac> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/bi-wiring-amping/viablue-sc-6-hp-copper-cable-occ-silver-15mm-o-26mm-p-6327.html | 2019-07-20T11:29:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.933291 | 290 |
“One man’s struggle to get the internet in Brittany”
In Britain, we generally take the internet for granted, and there are many suppliers to feed our wi-fi addiction who are all in competition with each other.
However, in France, there is in reality only one main provider for decent internet usage:- The French version of Orange.Orange.fr is the French equivalent of our “BT” and my understanding is that they won the contract with the French authorities after promising fair prices and an excellent service – putting any potential competitors very much in the shade.
Orange.fr offers a “dedicated English speaking help-line service” to potential British customers living in France, which I decided to try whilst I was still in the UK.
After being serenaded by some of the most appalling music, punctuated by short apologetic messages, I was put through to an over enthusiastic operator based in Paris, who assured me that she could help me get online.
Unfortunately she couldn’t and didn’t.
There was apparently a fault on the line that couldn’t be resolved until we were next in France and able to let the engineer into the house.
When the engineer arrived, he quickly decided that the fault was beyond him, but promised to return the following Friday.
On the appointed Friday, we stayed in all day, but no engineer arrived, and as we were due to return to the UK the following day, nothing else could be done.
A few days later I received a call from the English-speaking-operator from Paris who said she had news:-
“It’s repaired! It’s all done!” She said
“How can this be?” I asked “The house in France is locked, we are here in England so an engineer cannot possibly have attended”
“No, it’s been repaired, I have it here on my screen”
“It’s impossible” said I “There is a box on the wall with all the wires hanging out, which is how the engineer left it”
She said “As far as we are concerned it is repaired, and that’s that. If the internet is not working for you then you need an engineer to help you get on line, but you will be charged”
I could feel my blood pressure rise as I realised that she was in the process of closing off my case, and thereby reducing her quota of outstanding issues and meeting her set target.
“Well thank you for nothing” said I.
When we returned to France, as expected, no progress had been made whatsoever, so out of desperation we visited the Orange shop in Lannion.
Now, bear in mind that realistically Orange is the only internet provider in France, and also has the responsibility of the cabling installations, telephone lines etc. so they are in high demand. As you enter the Orange shop in Lannion you are confronted by a sort of welcome concierge, who is there to identify your problem and then refer you to the right department.
Once you have queued up, and then told the “concierge” your problem or issue, you are then directed to a seating area where there is an electronic board showing the names of all of the people who are waiting for attention. Your name moves up the ladder until you are finally dealt with. Our assistant was a helpful guy called Alex who promised he would organise an engineer and also provide us with a Livebox there and then, the Livebox being, I suppose, the rough equivalent of a Sky box in the UK.
So with the Livebox under one arm, we left the Orange shop feeling a little more positive, and indeed I received an email from Alex, giving the dates of the engineers visit and also to advise that sadly he was relocating to another store.
Two engineers arrived on the appointed date and after a couple of days, the LED lights on the Livebox looked promising but still no internet.
So back off to the Orange store we went, and spent precious time making another shop assistant understand our plight.
It sort of went like this:-
“We still have no internet or French phone connection”
“That is because you haven’t paid”
“We couldn’t pay because there was nothing to pay for, we had no internet!”
“Well you need to pay now”
At this stage I thought I was in the middle of a Monty Python sketch.
“Okay we’ll pay now! How much is it and do you take Visa?”
“No, you can’t pay here, you must pay online”
“But we haven’t any internet!!!”
“Then you must pay by phone”
“French phone?” we queried
“Yes” countered the assistant
“But the French phone is part of the internet package, we have no internet!”
“Do you have friends in France that have a French phone?”
“Then you must pay by the internet” said the assistant.
At this stage, my blood pressure was up by a few more notches and I was in severe danger of breaking out into a Basil Fawlty style rage.
“We want to pay by the internet, but we have no internet, please Help!!”
The assistant seemed to finally understand, and after making a phone call, presented us with a special Dongle , with two months free credit, with which, he explained we could get online in France to access our account.
We left the Orange shop feeling mildly more positive but not quite breaking out the bubbly.
So as it stands at the moment, we are waiting for our sign in details and our pass code. But we do have a pretty box which has so far racked up 160 Euros in charges, which we will dispute when we finally get on the bloody internet.
Watch out for further news….
We have further News!
A couple of days later I received an email from Orange.fr which after translation revealed that they were going to waive the € 164.07 on my account and that the internet was working. Which it did, for one day, and then the flashing red light returned signalling no internet again.
Off I went again to the Orange shop in Lannion where after much translating from English to French using the Ipad, they finally understood my plight. They promised that an engineer would arrive the next day, which he did!
The very next, as promised, the engineer came, and finally…..
We have internet!!!!
So What’s to be learned from all this?
Well I now wish that I hadn’t tried to organise this from England in the first place because you are at that stage very dependant on which person is on the other end of the help line, and in my case it was a lady who wanted to talk (My Goodness she wanted to talk) and not listen. I am sure that many others have successfully organised their internet from the UK but it didn’t work for me.
I should have gone to the Orange shop in Brittany in the first place, and taken it from there. They have free wi-fi in their store, so I could have used the Ipad and Google’s “Translate” which isn’t always accurate but generally get’s the job done. If you are lucky you may find an assistant who can speak a little English. I can almost hear critics out there who are exclaiming “But you should be able to speak French if you are living in France” and they would be correct. However I don’t, yet…
So now the only thing I am still waiting for are my account details so I can access my account and make payments etc. They point-blank refuse to tell you in person or by email, instead they insist on sending it by ordinary snail mail.
What is the internet like in France?
At the risk of sounding ungrateful, if you are out in the sticks, the internet is not brilliant. It comes and goes. One minute you can log on to anything immediately, and the next you are staring at the screen wondering if the connection has been lost altogether. It is reminiscent of a time many years ago when the internet first began and you waited patiently for a basic picture to gradually appear on your computer screen.
However it’s generally enough to work with, and I can get Netflix on the television although sometimes the images lose a bit of clarity.
Once Orange finally got going, I have to say their customer focus was good and their email aftercare efficient. Orange seems to be the only internet provider worth having in France. I understand that they have competition in Paris and other highly populated area’s, but here in Brittany, our only real option is Orange. I hope they shine brighter in the future. | <urn:uuid:b2c62320-a124-4273-adf5-8226efbafbaf> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.brittanyfrance.co.uk/orange-is-not-very-bright-in-france/ | 2019-07-20T12:05:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.977956 | 1,893 |

Redknapp reunion: QPR win the race to sign Livermore on loan from Spurs
QPR have won the race to sign Spurs midfielder Jake Livermore on-loan for the rest of the season.
The Premier League's bottom club saw off competition from a number of Premier League teams, including Everton, Norwich, West Brom and Reading, to sign the midfielder.
Harry Redknapp managed Livermore at Spurs and is believed to have had a big influence on the midfielder's decision to move to Loftus Road.
Wanted man: Everton have made a loan move for Jake Livermore
He was only allowed to leave on loan as Andre Villas-Boas believes he has a long-term future at White Hart Lane.
Sportsmail reported this week that Everton's bid to sign Livermore was rejected because Tottenham will not strengthen one of their rivals for the Champions League places.
Livermore started the season strongly, making his England debut against Italy in August and forcing his way into the first team before he had a hernia operation, which ruled him out for six weeks.
Sandro and Mousa Dembele have since established an excellent partnership and the return of Scott Parker after six months out with an achilles injury will limit his chances but Spurs are keen for Livermore to gain more Premier League experience.
Challenge: AVB is hoping to lead Spurs into the Champions League

Score by Paul Pilot
Shot from one single camera angle the last light of day fades from a hilly ocean coast. The light is too low for the camera to capture the scene correctly and causes the images to flickr and the
colors to shift. The sky is reflected I the water coming in that is moving in slow ripples. The electronic sounds of the score seem to move with it.
At one point the reflection of a person with a hood comes into view. But the person seems to be missing.He is only visible in the reflection. He walks along the water line and kneels down.

Meditation Commentary on Matthew 6:19-21
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
The Christian life is not easy. Jesus, who came to save the world from sin, never downplays or excuses that sin, but rather explains that our sin goes far deeper inside us than we had ever realized. He tells us he did not come to abolish the Law or to remove the commandments; and not only that, he goes on to say, the Law is just the beginning! If you want to enter the kingdom, you must be more righteous than even the Pharisees (Matt. 5:20), who follow the Law so scrupulously. You must obey not simply the letter, but the spirit and principle behind the letter. Don’t just refrain from murder; you also must not even insult or despise your brother. Don’t just remain literally faithful to your wife; keep your heart pure and refuse to even look on another woman. Don’t just carefully fulfill your oaths; you must not swear at all. Don’t take revenge on those who do evil to you; but instead forgive, let go and give. Don’t just love those who love you and hate those who hate you; pour out love on friends and enemies alike, as God pours sunlight and rain on both the good and the evil. (Matthew 6:21-37.) It isn’t only the external conformity that matters, Jesus is telling us, but on the contrary it is from the inside, from your heart of hearts, that true righteousness springs. Righteousness, and therefore admission into the Kingdom of Heaven, requires not merely meticulous obedience and right living, it requires a pure and undefiled heart. To be truly holy you must not merely be good, you must be perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48).
Furthermore, that goodness is not to be flaunted. Don’t display your generosity and charity, showing everyone how openhanded and considerate you are. Don’t pray loudly on the street corners, letting all men admire you for your piety and eloquence. Don’t disfigure yourself when you fast, so that everyone knows how you are suffering. All these things, Jesus tells us, give their reward here and now, in the form of exaltation before men. But true riches lie elsewhere. God sees what is done in secret, so bring your prayers before him and him only in the seclusion of your closet; don’t let even your left hand know what your right is doing when you do works of charity; behave no differently when you are fasting than when you are not. In other words, be righteous not so that you may win fame and adulation, but because God has called you, and has called you to be like him. Flaunting your “piety” on earth can grant you some earthly treasure: esteem and glory in the eyes of men. But time and dust make a mockery of all men’s accomplishments, and there is only one treasure that lasts: that which is laid up in heaven, the righteousness born of a relationship of love with the Creator of the universe. | <urn:uuid:44b349a8-a90e-4474-bbaf-bb01ef3cfc3d> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.gcfamilies.org/resources/devotionals/2007-02-06.php | 2019-07-20T12:21:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.934844 | 721 |

Back in September of 2017, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announced they are expecting a third child. Since then, we've been tracking Kate Middleton's maternity style, taking note of both her fashionable ensembles and her growing baby bump. With the royal baby expected to arrive this month, Middleton has made her last public appearance and is gearing up to welcome another little prince or princess in just a few weeks.
In honor of the incoming royal, we've rounded up every maternity outfit the Duchess has donned in public since her birth announcement. Follow along as we relive the budding of the regal baby bump.
In her first public appearance after announcing her third pregnancy, the Duchess appeared in a pale blue lace Temperley London Dress, black pumps and a clutch at Buckingham Palace for a World Mental Health Day celebration.
A week later, Middleton was all smiles in a baby pink floral dress designed by Orla Kiely during a charity event at Paddington Station.
Also in October of last year, the Duchess appeared at London Stadium for a Coach Core graduation ceremony, wearing a double breasted blazer by Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini, black jeans, suede ankle boots, a black turtleneck and dainty Kiki McDonough earrings.
For her visit to the Lawn Tennis Association at the National Tennis Centre in London, Middleton kept it casual in a white polo, black zip-up, track pants and bright white Nike sneakers.
For the Freud Centre Gala at Kensington Palace, the Duchess went for full-on glamor in a lace Diane Von Furstenburg gown, diamond bracelet and a black clutch.
Cleverly hiding her bump with her clutch at the annual Place2Be School Leaders Forum in London, Middleton wore a plum mod dress with silver button accents by Goat, black tights and black suede pumps.
Later that week, Middleton wore a velvet coat dress by Catherine Walker & Co., sheer black stockings, Gianvito Rossi pumps and a beaded clutch by Magid at the Remembrance Day service.
In mid-November, the Duchess wore a pale pink coat, black dress, tights, a clutch tucked under her arm and a pair of black suede knee-high boots while leaving the Hornsey Road Children's Centre in London.
Middleton sported all-black with an A-line coat by Goat Fashion, skinny jeans, a clutch and knee-high boots during a visit to Birmingham, England.
Showing her sporty side, Middleton wore a red puffer coat, black skinny jeans and black New Balance sneakers during her first trimester.
Middleton dressed up in a baby blue embellished Jenny Packham gown at the Royal Variety Performance at the London Palladium.
The Duchess wore a Kate Spade polkadot dress and maroon suede pumps during her visit to The Foundling Museum in London.
During a visit to Robin Hood Primary School, the Duchess went cute and casual in an army green cargo jacket over a black Temperley London turtleneck sweater, skinny jeans and Penelope Chilvers brown leather tassel boots.
In December, Middleton's baby bump began to show in her belted plaid L.K. Bennett coat. She accessorized with a black clutch, black tights and black pumps during her visit to the Children’s Global Media Summit.
Later that day, the Duchess took the coat off to reveal a red long-sleeved dress by Goat Fashion while visiting the Manchester Central Convention Complex with Prince William.
The duchess was absolutely glowing during a visit to the Magic Mums community Christmas party held at Rugby Portobello Trust in London. She wore a plum tweed Seraphine maternity coat accessorized with simple black tights, black pumps and a black clutch.
At a memorial for victims of the Grenfell Tower fire, the expecting mother looked elegant in a CH Carolina Herrera double-breasted coat, LK Bennett clutch, tights, navy pumps, delicate bow-detailed gloves and a wide-brim suede hat.
On Christmas, Middleton dressed the part in a festive red and green plaid double-breasted coat with gold accents.
Happy New Year from the beaming Duchess! Dressed in a long blue wool coat with chestnut brown accessories, Middleton oozed sophistication.
A week later the pregnant Duchess was photographed from the side, showing off her little bump while wearing a fitted tweed coat with brown fur accessories.
Navy blue may be just as slimming as black on the Duchess, who sported the deep blue hue head-to-toe during a visit to the Reach Academy in Feltham, London.
During that same visit, we saw Middleton sans jacket for the first time since the new year, sporting a three-quarter sleeve blue floral dress and navy blue pumps.
Finally in a light color, the baby bump is put on display as Middleton opted for an all-white long-sleeve dress with a burgundy micro-purse and heels.
Middleton stepped out in an uncharacteristically bright hot pink coat by Mulberry, paired with a black clutch, gloves, tights and suede pumps during a visit to Coventry, England with Prince William.
The Duchess proved royals can rock maternity athleisure in this black and white ensemble.
Carrying a bright yellow bouquet, Middleton re-wore a blue Sportmax coat, Séraphine Maternity dress, Beulah London scarf and navy blue pumps while attending an engagement for Heads Together.
Middleton's A-line fitted jacket shows off her growing bump. Is the baby blue color a hint of the newborn's gender?
Hockey stick in hand, the Duchess showed her chic sporty side in a fur collar and lining while visiting Sweden with Prince William. The rest of her wintery outfit consisted of a pair of black leggings, snow boots, a maroon scarf and knitted hat with a playful pompom.
That same day, Middleton sported more formal attire to meet the Swedish royal family, wearing a hunter green long-sleeved dress, paired with sheer stockings and heels. | <urn:uuid:6fa46b83-90d4-4f34-a0ad-bddbdb37e635> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/red-carpet-dresses/g19685012/kate-middleton-pregnancy-baby-bump-maternity-style-photos/ | 2019-07-20T12:58:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.915389 | 1,287 |

Being a stay at home or work at home parent means sacrifice for most people. It is often a statement that you value your family above money or your career. Not always, but often.
But even in your day to day life you need to think about what is most important to you. If your children are in a lot of activities that interfere with family time, is that the right use of your priorities? Of your children’s priorities? Is it right for the family?
Sometimes the right answer is not easily seen. If your kids love their activities, for example, you might not want to make them give those activities up, even though they result in such a loss of family time. On the other hand, taking a break might be the right thing to do.
Similarly, you have to balance working at home with working on housework. How important is a clean home to you in comparison to having a successful work at home business?
My own balance can be a bit off at times. If I let housework slide a little too far because I’m feeling inspired in relation to my business, there will quickly come a time where I will have to work much harder on housework than I would have if I had simply kept up.
And of course there is no substitute for time with the kids.
One of the key things I try to do (don’t always succeed, but try), is to minimize how often I deal with a particular item. Mail, both electronic and paper, needs to be sorted and disposed of quickly. The majority may go in the trash, but the rest really should be read immediately, and a decision made. The fewer times I have to interact with a given item, the better.
Keeping your life organized and focusing on what really matters to you is a great help when it comes to perspective. You will know what matters the most to you and what you really don’t care all that much about. | <urn:uuid:d1d33000-5f7d-479c-ae1f-3a76cc39a175> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.homewiththekids.com/blog/whats-really-important-to-you/ | 2019-07-20T11:27:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.975217 | 402 |
Shopping centre in proper order, with the exception of its tropical décor, with hanging palm trees and all types of vines.
An exuberent shopping centre.
If you do not have much time to wander around in search for the last souvenir or to buy clothes at affordable prices and enjoy a pleasant day, you can go to Cidade Jardim Shopping Complex and dedicate a full day to shopping. This centre takes its name from its exuberant natural décor with trees, vines, palm trees and hanging plants that provide freshness to the atmosphere. Amongst its strange services, you will find a ‘personal shopper’ (prior reservation at the concierge on the ground floor) who will accompany you shopping and advise you on choosing the best selection of what you are looking for. If you also want to get out of their as a new person, the centre also offers a beauty boutique with aesthetic professionals, hairdressers and a film make-up artist who will transform you as soon as you walk through the doors. And after an exhausting day of shopping, there is nothing better than relaxing on one of its terraces with views of the skyscrapers.

Back at the dawn of the dinosaur era, a quick-moving predator set the stage for the famous and fearsome giants that followed in its footsteps, according to new research.
“It was a little dinosaur, but it carried a big evolutionary stick,” said Paul C. Sereno of the University of Chicago, a leader of the team that discovered Eodromaeus.
The 4-foot-long hunter lived 230 million years ago in what is now South America and appears to be the ancestor of such creatures as Tyrannosaurus rex.
“It is stunning,” Sereno said of the find, reported in Friday’s edition of the journal Science.
Its features, such as a balancing tail and air pockets in the skull, show it was closely related to T. rex, he said.
But while it stood on two feet like T. rex, Eodromaeus (pronounced eyo-DRO-may-us) was a lightweight at just 10- to 15-pounds.
“This is a very exciting find indeed,” said Oliver W. M. Rauhut, a curator at the Bavarian State Collection for Palaeontology and Geology in Munich, Germany.
“The origin and early diversification of dinosaurs is still poorly understood,” said Rauhut, who was not on the research team.
Nick Longrich of the department of geology and geophysics at Yale University agreed: “It’s very significant, because it helps give us a better idea of what the ancestor of carnivorous dinosaurs — including Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus and the birds — would have looked like.”
“A new species of early dinosaur is always an exciting find, especially when the specimens are so complete, like Eodromaeus,” added Randall B. Irmis, a professor of geology and geophysics at the University of Utah.
It shares many features with an early carnivorous dinosaur named Tawa from New Mexico and reported last year by Irmis and colleagues.
The similarity supports the idea that these early carnivorous dinosaurs moved between North and South America during the Late Triassic period, said Irmis, who was not part of Sereno’s research team.
In addition to the discovery of Eodromaeus — which means dawn runner — the researchers proposed reclassifying a previously known dinosaur called Eoraptor.
It was similar in size to Eodromaeus, but differences in the teeth indicate Eoraptor more likely was an ancestor of the giant plant-eating sauropod dinosaurs than the hunting theropods like T. rex with which it had been associated, according to Sereno, Paul N. Martinez of the National University of San Juan in Argentina, and their co-authors.
“The reclassification of Eoraptor actually makes perfect sense ... the teeth have always made me wonder,” said Longrich, who was not on the research team.
Added Longrich, “this paper helps sort out the origin of several major groups — the big carnivores like T. rex, the birds, and the giant plant eaters like Apatosaurus,” formerly known as Brontosaurus.
The new find brings scientists to within a few million years of the original “Eve” dinosaur, Sereno commented. But now the search gets elusive because of the lack of bones below the level where Eodromaeus was found.Lower, there are footprints but not bones, Sereno said.
The Eodromaeus’ fossils were discovered in the late 1990s in the Ischigualasto formation in northeastern Argentina. | <urn:uuid:e2d4f9ca-641d-474a-97c3-b42b82123c49> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.islandpacket.com/news/nation-world/article33404103.html | 2019-07-20T12:44:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.957226 | 770 |
How Eco-Schools Scotland works
The first step is to form an Eco-Committee to represent the ideas of the whole school. The Eco-Committee then completes an Environmental Review, to investigate the current situation in the school. The results of the Environmental Review are used to create an Action Plan of planned projects on litter and two other topics. Eco-Schools Scotland has Ten Topics to choose from. The Action Plan will include ways of measuring the progress of projects, and ideas for future development.
Projects should be linked to the curriculum with the whole school and wider community given the opportunity to be involved. Finally, the whole school should create an Eco-Code representing their commitment to environmental issues.
This work is recognised by the Green Flag Award - a visible indication of your school's commitment to learning for sustainability, and an internationally recognised accreditation for excellence in sustainable development education. The Green Flag Award is renewed every two years following the same Seven Elements.
Eco-Schools Scotland has linked the programme to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, and you will be asked to select a goal to connect to your three topics. You can read more about the Sustainable Development Goals here.
Eco-Schools Scotland has a new online application system, which allows you and your school to input information throughout your two year Green Flag journey and be provided with feedback at key points in the process.

Green Flag Award Criteria
To earn a Green Flag Award, your school needs to follow the Seven Elements, ensuring that Eco-Schools is pupil-led, linked to the curriculum and involves the whole school and wider community.
What does the Eco-Schools logo mean?
In 1994, FEE France, one of the first Eco-Schools programs, organised a competition in a school of graphic arts to create a logo for an environmental program related to school and based on the active participation of students. The winning design became the logo for the Eco-Schools program worldwide.
A lot of meaning is packed into this image:
- People are the basis and centre of the program. In our hands lies the greening of our future, which is symbolised by the flower flourishing above the head of the central person
- The flowers symbolise both the flourishing of the environment that we can promote, and the flourishing of human beings who will be enriched by developing values and attitudes that protect our environment and ourselves.
- Once this bouquet of green flowers is open over our heads, it turns into a kind of umbrella, a shelter that protects us.
- The book is associated with school and knowledge, but the two separate pages (with the person in the middle) mean that this knowledge is not purely academic. Books only contribute to the change in behaviours, while teaching/learning and people are central.
- The blue page on the left represents the book of human history, loaded and heavy with the problems of society we are facing and inheriting. This part of the book is already written.
- The white page on the right is not yet written. It represents everything that can be done – and we alone decide what our future will be.
What is Eco-Schools?
Eco-Schools is the largest sustainable schools programme in the world, operated internationally by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) and which we manage in Scotland. The programme connects 19.5 million children, young people and educators through sustainable development education with 67 countries on all five continents participating.
Eco-Schools has common structural features across all operating countries. The Seven Elements, the Eco-Schools Topics, and Assessment for the Green Flag. The Seven Elements are the same in every country, although they may have slightly different names. Eco-Schools Topic themes vary across different operating countries.
Eco-Schools in Scotland
The Eco-Schools Scotland programme is made up of a set of Seven Elements that are used to plan action on environmental issues and that form the criteria for the Green Flag Award. To earn a Green Flag Award, your school needs to follow the Seven Elements, ensuring that Eco-Schools is pupil-led, linked to the curriculum and involves the whole school and wider community.
Eco-Schools Scotland is designed to encourage whole-school community action on Learning for Sustainability. The programme encourages young people to engage in their environment by allowing them the opportunity to actively protect it. The programme starts in the classroom and expands to the whole school, eventually fostering change in the community at large.
We are grateful for the continued support of the Scottish Government in funding the programme. | <urn:uuid:f46e8580-2ffe-4cd2-95d3-47ddbe5cf27b> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.keepscotlandbeautiful.org/sustainable-development-education/eco-schools | 2019-07-20T12:29:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.943372 | 962 |
Having a certificate or a diploma of fitness under your belt opens a lot of doors of opportunities if a career in fitness is what you are after. It doesn’t only give you the competitive edge against other fitness trainers in the gym, but more importantly make new and exciting employment opportunities. But what does it take to earn a certificate/diploma? What does it really mean to be a certified fitness trainer? If you ask yourself these questions, then here are some frequently asked questions about getting a certificate in fitness and their answers to help you.
Q. What Will I Learn on Fitness Courses?
A. Depending on the nature of the course, qualification fitness students will usually learn the knowledge and skills needed to work as a gym instructor and a fitness trainer. Areas of study usually include anatomy, physiology, nutrition, gym instruction and programming, group fitness, working with a special group of people. Some courses offer a more in-depth take on these topics to give students the knowledge and skills to be employed as personal trainers. And it typically requires the application of anatomy and/or physiology to the training methodology, exercise programs, and nutrition. Some courses even offer skill training for undertaking and marketing a small business.
Q. What’s the First Thing I Will Learn as a Student?
A. The first thing students will learn or realize is that the fitness industry is indeed, a very rewarding career choice. Like in any career and field of work, you don’t just need knowledge and skills. You also need passion in fitness training to help people achieve their health and fitness goals. And that fitness training offers a great opportunity to help others.
Q. What Are the Qualities You Need to Succeed in This Field?
A. As said earlier, you need to have the passion for helping others. Being a personal trainer is a big responsibility, thus, you have to be a role model to your clients. Also, you need good communication skills to get your message across people. You need to be prepared and open to learning new ideas and strive to learn constantly. An innovative mind can also add a big plus. You need to have the energy and enthusiasm to do the job day in and day out. And of course, you need look and act professionally.
Q. What Are the Benefits of Earning a Certification?
A. There are many ways to earn a certification. Some of the most common paths are being able to work in a gym environment, set a personal training business on, and/or specialize in helping a specific group of people, such as children, adults, or even professional athletes. Others take it a step further by earning a diploma of fitness.
Q. Where Will I Go After Completing a Fitness Course?
A. As said earlier, a lot of doors of opportunities will be opened when you earn your certificate, more so your diploma of fitness. For starters, you will be able to work as a personal trainer in big and established gyms and build your name and resume from there. You can also work on group fitness or take on a self-employed venture on your own. | <urn:uuid:49660fee-0e64-41a1-8a47-38423f664cb3> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.loghar.com/frequently-asked-questions-about-getting-a-diploma-of-fitness/ | 2019-07-20T12:05:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.960889 | 636 |

When I tell my family that I am double majoring in philosophy and psychology, I often find myself greeted with an inquisitive look, as though I said two polar opposites like French literature and microbiology. However, they are usually assuaged when I clarify that both psychology and philosophy study the mind, simply by asking different questions. And yet, that initial reaction of confusion is one which is prevalent and one I would like to address. Both psychology and philosophy can, when integrated, complement each other and provide profound insights.
First, to discuss how philosophy majors may benefit from courses in psychology, it will be important to clarify which areas we are discussing. There are some fields, such as metaphysics and theology, for which the empirical study of the mind will not be particularly useful. However, the study of ethics, free will, essentialism and a great many other features of philosophy would undoubtedly benefit from experiments testing particular hypotheses. In the study of ethics, knowing how one decides whether to act or not has long been considered a simple matter: we do what we think is best. However, the study of fallacies, instances where we do what is not best, or even what we don’t think is best, requires empirical study. From a foundational understanding of how people make decisions in their everyday lives, we can then discuss how we ought to make decisions and what our priorities ought to be. Aside from learning the content of certain psychological studies, philosophy majors would benefit from learning how to read psychological studies critically, as well as to properly refute those studies which make claims they can’t support. Finally, philosophy majors develop the skill to ask questions, but by taking courses in psychology we can learn how to find answers through conducting our own studies.
Next, to discuss how psychology majors may benefit from courses in philosophy, we ought to consider the skills developed in philosophy. One essential skill is to consider multiple hypotheses, which requires being able to ask what each hypothesis requires in order to be valid and to embrace disagreement. These are important components of good psychological work, but often they are not taught to the same extent that they are taught in philosophy. Additionally, philosophy offers excellent material in the development of hypotheses: the work of Cognitive Psychologists, even to this day, is informed by the ancient Greek philosophers known as the Stoics, who developed sophisticated techniques to monitor and control the mind.
Humanism, an important school of psychology which has led to patient-centric care and positive psychology, is even today informed by Buddist philosophy and the work of existentialists like Soren Kierkegaard. Psychology majors who study philosophy have access to a plethora of resources from which to generate hypotheses and to evaluate theories critically.
Ultimately, both psychology and philosophy ought to be studied alongside one another, and the cross-pollination of ideas ought to continue to spread between them. However, there is much work to be done, and more courses which address both studies ought to be generated.
The most straight-forward example of such integration may be moral psychology, which takes hypotheses and arguments from philosophy and informs them with research in psychology. However, even this course is in its infancy across the world. Moral psychology is taught on some campuses, including St. Olaf, but there is not yet a textbook which teachers may call upon as they develop their curriculum. Instead, such courses are taught by professors who must pull together texts and sources themselves. But, there is hope for improvement, as St. Olaf’s own Chuck Huff is currently close to publishing the first-ever textbook on moral psychology. A dense tome consisting of hundreds of sources per chapter, the text took him seven years to create, and will hopefully serve to show future professors and students that philosophy and psychology ought to be studied and taught in collaboration with each other.

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you’re having a good day!
It’s the hubby’s birthday today so we’re taking him out for dinner. Nothing fancy; just him, the kids, and me in a simple Japanese restaurant nearby that I just recently discovered. But still, I decided to dress up. It’s better to be overdressed than underdressed, right?
Peplum is one of my favorites because it’s always flattering for anyone (as long as you get the right kind). It hugs your curves in all the right ways; it showcases your assets while still looking classy (it’s also perfect for concealing a muffin top or any waist problem you may have). And for all these reasons, I decided to wear one today.
What is your favorite closet piece? I’d love to hear about it. | <urn:uuid:0b12134d-c45d-4132-a80e-4357f7535fcc> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.oneawesomemomma.com/all-dressed-up-for-a-special-occasion/ | 2019-07-20T12:26:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.943625 | 187 |

Closely associated with dirt, filth and the spread of disease, just the mere mention of cockroaches can make your skin crawl. Most homeowners are at least somewhat familiar with the health and safety risks associated with cockroach infestations, including allergies and asthma.
Even if you’re completely “icked-out” by them, these bugs can actually be quite fascinating. Here are ten of the most interesting facts about cockroaches:
1. No head? No problem! A cockroach can live for a week without its head. Due to an open circulatory system and the fact that they breath through little holes in each of their body segments, they aren’t dependent upon their mouth or head to breathe.
2. They can hold their breath for 40 minutes. Impressive, right? Equally amazing is the fact that they can survive being submerged underwater for 30 minutes.
3. They are cannibals. Cockroaches aren’t fussy eaters -- they’ll eat pretty much anything. When infestation numbers are large, and food is scarce, they aren’t above feasting on each other to settle the rumbling in their bellies.
4. They are really fast. How fast? Picture the Flash, but in cockroach form. Roaches can run up to speeds of 1.5 meters per second. To put things into perspective, the human equivalent is around 200 miles per hour!
5. They love beer. The American cockroach has shown a marked attraction to alcoholic beverages...particularly beer. It’s most likely the alcohol mix of hops and sugar that attracts them.
6. They are practically indestructible. A cockroach can compress its body, hard exoskeleton and all, to get through gaps as small as 3 millimeters and withstand forces 900 times their body weight without harm.
7. They are really old. While the average lifespan of the American cockroach is approximately one year, evidence suggests that this species of insect first originated more than 280 million years ago in the Carboniferous era.
8. Because they are cold-blooded insects, cockroaches can live without food for a month. However, they survive for only one week without water.
9. The world’s largest cockroach is a half-foot long, with a one-foot wing span. Average cockroaches vary in size from one-half to two inches long.
10. There are more than 4,000 species of them in the world. One of the most common species, the German cockroach, has been implicated in allergic reactions and illness in many people.
Signs of a cockroach infestation
Cockroaches are nocturnal so seeing one during the daytime can be a sign of an infestation. Other things to look for:
- Droppings: Small roaches produce feces that resemble coffee grounds or black pepper, while larger roaches expel cylindrical droppings.
- Unpleasant odors: Some species emit unpleasant odors. During a serious infestation, a strong musty or oily odor may be present.
- Eggs: Oblong, brown egg casings, called oothecae, are sometimes visible behind furniture and in other hidden locations.

All the elements were in place for an epic Saturday Night Live this week. Alec Baldwin was hosting for a record 17th time, and his performance as President Donald Trump has bolstered ratings and enraged many in the White House. Last week’s episode featured perhaps the most widely-hailed sketch in years, with Melissa McCarthy’s impression of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer earning universal praise and buzzworthy attention online.
Yet, while much of this week’s episode was good, it rarely transitioned into truly great. There were many solid but forgettable sketches this week. That’s hardly a negative thing, but when all the dominoes were lined up for the show to have an all-time great episode, it’s a little bit of a shame that no one bothered to knock them down. But it’s not a loss: Here are three sketches people will be talking about until the show returns.
Trump’s People’s Court
Let’s be honest: This was probably the weakest Trump-centric sketch since Baldwin took over portraying him. But as long as Baldwin does portray him, it will make the rounds on every Sunday morning news program.
This probably would have made a little more sense as the post-monologue sketch rather than the post-“Weekend Update” sketch, as Spicer mentioned The People’s Court in the cold open. Baldwin was fine but seemingly a little off this time around, as if doing this in addition to his hosting duties detracted from the performance a bit. His interactions with Beck Bennett’s Vladimir Putin were good, but we never got to see anything between him and Steve Bannon (whose skeletal figure sat in the back row as an Easter egg for eagle-eyed viewers).
The real star here was Cecily Strong, who took her exasperated reality television show judge and turned her into a voice for many Americans already fed up with the Trump Administration. After he repeatedly (and nonsensically) kept interrupting the trial, Strong’s judge blurted out, “You’re doing too much! I want one day without a CNN alert that scares the hell out of me!” The applause that met that line suggested SNL struck a nerve with that line, and that Strong delivered a knockout punch with her delivery.
Sean Spicer Press Conference Cold Open
The odds of Melissa McCarthy returning to play Sean Spicer were so good that Las Vegas wouldn’t list odds. And lo, the second time around didn’t disappoint. Often it takes multiple iterations of a character to truly connect with an audience. This time, it felt like everyone in the audience had already memorized every moment of last week’s sketch. Simply repeating those beats probably would have been enough, but luckily, SNL had escalation on its mind.
McCarthy’s Spicer initially vows to be less combative, but his inability to pronounce the name of any foreign leader or country puts him off his game instantly. By the time he takes questions from the press corps, he’s already at a fever pitch. This week’s props weren’t as creative as last time around, but we did get a heck of a Moana joke out of it. The faux QVC ad for Ivanka Trump’s line of jewelry was a particularly brilliant touch, looping in that particular scandal while adding a visual twist to the established visual palette.
While Kate McKinnon’s Jeff Sessions was fine, the real capper here was the transformation of the podium into a motorized weapon, topping last week’s best sight gag and taking it up three notches. I’m not sure where SNL can go from here (Does the podium turn into Voltron next time around?), but it’s clear the show understands that it’s hit a home run here and will mine it for all the comedic value it can. After all, it’s unclear if Spicer will even be around to mock when the next episode airs, so it’s smart to strike here while the iron was hot.
Jake Tapper (Fatal Attraction)
It’s fascinating to track how SNL has treated Kellyanne Conway this season. You can almost watch the evolution in real time. In “A Day Off,” the show was sympathetic towards her constant appearances on CNN to explain away Donald Trump’s latest gaffes. But prolonged exposure in the Trump Administration has changed the show’s tune: Now, it views her as a media-hungry figure desperate for airtime, one willing to make up her own lies in order to maintain the spotlight.
Having a Fatal Attraction parody in 2017 isn’t exactly timely or topical, but there’s something interesting about this interaction between Conway and Jake Tapper as part of a larger serialized narrative this season. SNL has been experimenting more with continuity recently, and it pays off dividends here. A simple film parody is one thing. Placing it in the context of a months-long storyline is quite another. It’s not just that the show keeps featuring Conway and Tapper. It keeps placing them in scenarios in which the past sketches involving them also occurred within the fiction of this universe. There’s no reset button. Conway appearing in his apartment isn’t a new idea devoid of context but rather the natural progression of their previous interactions.
It’s impossible to ask SNL to increase this type of continuity in its comedy, as it’s antithetical to the show’s “make it up each week” production aesthetic. But as we saw last week with the third installment in the Totino’s trilogy, there are seriously huge rewards that come from producing punchlines that pay off weeks, if not months, of planning. | <urn:uuid:624a5080-cff9-4548-9d09-b1ed33386dff> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-recaps/alec-baldwin-on-snl-3-sketches-you-have-to-see-191428/ | 2019-07-20T11:52:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.968041 | 1,214 |

Several social activists and civil liberty advocacy groups today expressed disappointment at the Pakatan Harapan administration for not fulfilling its pledge to abolish the Sedition Act 1948.
This comes after independent Muslim preacher Wan Ji Wan Hussin was handed a heavier jail sentence today for making seditious remarks against the Sultan of Selangor seven years ago.
The social activists and the civil liberty groups consisting of representatives from Malaysia Muda, Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM), Bersih 2.0, Suara Rakyat Malaysia, student activists and friends of Wan Ji had gathered outside the Kajang Prison complex last night to protest his imprisonment under the Sedition Act.
Suaram Coordinator Amir Abdul Haid at the gathering called out those in power to honour their promise to abolish the draconian law.
“The man who went to prison today are among the people responsible for getting you in public office.
“It is important that the government keeps their pledge as listed in their manifesto to abolish the Sedition Act,’’ he said.
Bersih 2.0 chairman Thomas Fann said Wan Ji’s sentencing was a clear sign that the government is not committed in abolishing the Sedition Act.
“Pakatan Harapan is not committed to abolish the Sedition Act and seem like it there is no intention to uphold the freedom of expression as stipulated in Article 10 of the Federal Constitution.
“Despite the country achieving independence in 1957, we have yet to be free as this draconian law that is left by the British is still here,’’ he said.
During the gathering, the group held a candlelight vigil outside the Kajang Prison and the word “Free Wan Ji’’ was repeatedly chanted by the crowd.
PSM central committee member S Arutchelvan urged the government to stick to its commitment to abolish the Sedition Act.
“We hope tomorrow when Wan Ji’s lawyer applies for an appeal and the public prosecutor would support the appeal and not object to it,’’ he added.
Wan Ji was charged under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948 and was sentenced to nine-month Jail in April last year by Sessions Court.
The High Court in Shah Alam had earlier today rejected Wan Ji’s appeal against his conviction for making seditious remarks against Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
High Court judge Abdul Halim Aman also increased Wan Ji’s original prison sentence from nine months to a year.
Saudara Social Cultural Research (Saudara) Executive Director Lim Hong Siang said Wan Ji’s imprisonment reflects the importance of free speech and freedom of expression.
“We know Wan Ji’s ideas are weird; some are progressive, some are too forward for some.
“We can criticise his ideas, calling it as immature and such, however, that is a given in developing society. We hope that one day no one would be punished to air their views that might not be too comfortable to some.
“History has shown that civilisation would only progress if we challenge the status quo,’’ he said. – MMO | <urn:uuid:b89f8ce8-baef-4a87-8b9d-dfc83110a586> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.thetruenet.com/matters/at-solidarity-gathering-for-wan-ji-activists-urge-pakatan-to-ab/ | 2019-07-20T11:39:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.958667 | 661 |

First you'll get dropped off by a high-speed Catamaran.
Right before you hop on a mountain-scaling funicular.
Trust us, every step will be worth it once you're staring at Lake Lucerne from your bathtub.
Welcome to Bürgenstock Hotel & Alpine Spa, a glamorous new mountainside hideaway in a resort town beloved by Sophia Loren and Audrey Hepburn, now open in Switzerland.
The views will take your breath away when you enter the lobby to see massive windows looking onto the encircling mountains and pristine lake below. Or maybe it's just the elevation.
Regardless, there's a fireplace waiting in your suite. And a double bathtub with insane views of those rolling hills and still waters. So no need to loiter.
When you're not bathing, it's safe to say there are plenty of other things to keep you occupied. Sure, beautiful hiking and skiing and lake-stuff during the day. But come night, you'll find a cigar lounge and Lakeside Bar & Lounge for pre-gaming, prior to the red curry with barbecue duck you'll order at pan-Asian Spices Kitchen & Terrace to accompany prized wines summoned from the cellar.
Then come next month, a grandiose spa with three swimming pools will suddenly be at your disposal.
Until then, the bath should do. | <urn:uuid:47dcdccb-18d5-4f40-a62c-9f5f82215b3a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.urbandaddy.com/articles/40559/a-majestic-alpine-resort-overlooking-lake-lucerne | 2019-07-20T12:36:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526508.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720111631-20190720133631-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.939448 | 281 |

Congressional Budget Office: Medicare doc bill cost $214B
WASHINGTON - The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says the bipartisan House deal protecting doctors from steep cuts in Medicare fees would cost $214 billion over the coming decade.
In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, the budget office says $141 billion of those costs would come from increasing federal deficits.
The rest would be paid for with added costs for Medicare beneficiaries, mostly higher premiums for the highest-earning recipients, and payment cuts to nursing homes and other providers.
Republicans have been saying some of the agreement's provisions would produce large savings beginning a decade from now.
The budget office says it is hard to make such a projection. It says the measure could yield savings or added costs in the second decade after enactment, with the middle ground being small savings.

1950s Coke Machine Vendo 81 A All Original Machine Coca Cola VMC
1950s Coke Machine Vendo 81 A - All Original Machine - Coca Cola - VMC. Vendo 81 - Great Price For This Machine w/ Best Offer Icon! This is an all original Vendo 81A Coke Machine. Found as is but it's very cool. It's orignal and complete minus one shelf. Paint is original and machine is very straight and pretty much rust free. It had a empties bottle rack at one time so there are 4 screws where the holes are. The right side of the coin door is a little wavy and the right top corner of the bottle boor is a little bent. Vents are perfect and the back is very nice as well. I would not restore this machine. I love the character it has with the stickers and the writing on the top right corner. I'm assuming machine spent most of it's live indoors in a warehouse because of the Work Safely sticker. Machine has a new power cord and runs ice cold. The Green bottle door medallion is perfect. It is missing the bottle door light switch and the bulb lens cover is cracked. Vendo 81 is the most collectible soda machine ever made. I discribe all my items as best as I can. I have been a e-bay member for 10 years now and still enjoy it as much as the first day I used it, actually, more. I have personally met many people off of e-bay and have made many friends.

Ben Affleck’s underway on his latest acting/directing gig—the fact-based, 70s-set political thriller Argo, which focuses on a CIA agent trying to extract six Americans trapped in Iran at the height of the Iranian revolution. This in mind, a few pics of the bearded, bell-bottomed star on the film’s Los Angeles set have surfaced online. While they don’t reveal too much, we do get to see Affleck conversing with co-star Alan Arkin and whipping those bulging pecs and deltoids left over from The Town into ‘70s shape with a regimen of purple Gatorade and cigarettes.
Hit the jump to check out the images and for more on Argo.
Affleck—who, it must be remembered, was in Surviving Christmas—has unexpectedly proven himself a very capable helmer of adult-skewing dramas with Gone Baby Gone and (the somewhat overrated) The Town. Beyond that, Argo’s got equally reliable thesp-turned-director George Clooney in the producing chair and a TV dream team of a cast including Bryan Cranston, Kyle Chandler, John Goodman, Tate Donovan, Zeljko Ivanek, Chris Messina and Titus Welliver. If you’re counting, that’s four regulars from Damages, and one each from Breaking Bad, Friday Night Lights and Deadwood. So basically, plan to check this one out when it drops in 2012.
Click over to Celebuzz for more images from the set of Argo [click to enlarge]:
Finally, here’s the official synopsis:
Based on true events, “Argo” chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis—the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA “exfiltration” specialist named Tony Mendez (Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies. | <urn:uuid:8b2c75b7-db81-4b7a-b30a-b978aa1c4846> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://collider.com/argo-set-photos/ | 2019-07-21T17:12:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527089.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721164644-20190721190644-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.924618 | 511 |

The two have been pretty consistent over the years, but they have yet to take that next step in their relationship. Did you write it after Becky died? Josh and I grew up together, I actually met Josh through my sister. It was really fun to open up the door of collaborating. Some looks also display the date May 22,the day the Italian law for the social protection of motherhood and legal abortion took effect.
Carter and Reed co-produced the album, and perhaps it is a credit to Reed, who has worked with Meghan Trainor, Twenty One Pilots, and Jason Derulo, that the whole project has a pop sheen to it.

Jacopo: So I’m going to ask the question now that everybody always asks - was there any way America‘s fall could have been avoided?
Esteban: The older I get and the more I think about it, the more inclined I am to think it was inevitable. By the end of the Bush era, America’s deficit spending was such that there was simply no way to evade a great reckoning. Even if the debt ceiling raise had not been filibustered, the bill that came through the Senate was so unsatisfactory, such a hollow shell of what was necessary to fix America‘s problems, that there was simply no way for it to inspire anything but terror in the markets.
Jacopo: At the time, a lot of liberals howled about how spineless Obama was that he’d capitulate on so many social programs.
Esteban: What in god’s name was he supposed to do? Even after having made enormous concessions on every single aspect of the bill, it still arrived in congress with less than 48 hours to spare, and it was still not enough for the Tea Party.
Jacopo: What was your feeling about Obama in those years?
Esteban: Always improving. I was about the only person who was not at all impressed with Obama during his primary campaign. I voted for him, but I feared the movement of change at his back. Fortunately, these were all the same people who shouted bloody murder when Obama seemed to be up to the practical compromises which every great leader must make to govern. Obama showed no remorse about leaving the progressive left at the altar. Whatever it took to win, Obama showed the stomach to follow through .The battles he did not win could not have been won by anyone else. As his presdiency became more bedraggled, the enormity of opposition to him became ever more clear. I couldn’t help but admire him more and more.
Jacopo: Do you think Obama was not a man of the left in those years?
Esteban: Oh I very much think he was. But he was not a man of the pseudo-left. It’s one of the great ironies of American History that Franklin Roosevelt’s name would be invoked so often as a stick to beat Obama. Seventy years before all this, the hard-line social progressives would batter Franklin Roosevelt with Abraham Lincoln’s name in precisely the same way. And seventy years before Roosevelt, abolitionists would batter Lincoln’s name with…I have no idea who. But unlike Jimmy Carter, both Roosevelt and Obama were far more interested in the realities of what government requires than in losing battles to demonstrate a show of principle.
Jacopo: Was there any way he could have prevented the slow-motion economic collapse that followed?
Esteban: I never saw the way. You cannot move the world out of an economic depression without trillions of dollars of deficit spending. You cannot pay off trillions of dollars in debt without incurring an economic depression, let alone tens of trillions. After two-and-a-half years in which Obama opted for saving the economy over paying the debt, our country was teetering on the edge of the exact same depression. He had to try the other option.
Jacopo: How did our family do in those years.
Esteban: I was, as always, the Cassandra of the familly- warning them that America was on the verge of something very grave. But I remember the exact moment when they came over to my point of view. Immediately upon returning from Rhode Island, we went on a Real Estate trip to Florida, It was in the airport that we found out about Rand Paul’s filibuster. Still, we hoped, there was a chance that Paul might relent if offered a better deal. Obama probably offered him one. But he was not interested in fixing the problem. On August 4th, the day after America lost its credit rating, we heard over the car radio that the Dow Jones Industrial Average had sunk 20% in two days in addition to the 11% in the eight days before. This meant that the market had already fallen 31% in ten days. All four of us immediately realized the consequences. America had a choice that could only have happened in a world that takes pleasure in dancing on a volcano: Either America pays off the debt, or spend all the money from the raised debt ceiling at once. The former would certainly ruin the world economy. The latter might also ruin the world economy, and it would also put America another 2 trillion dollars in debt.
Jacopo: Was this choice the Paul family’s goal?
Esteban: Absolutely. For Sodom to burn. And to replace it with a purer state.
Jacopo: Did the Paul family have any larger goals than the destruction of the financial markets?
Esteban: Of course they had goals. But their goals were impossible. The Paul family was as devoutly religious a family as American politics had ever produced. But rather than Christ they worshipped the free market. They believed that Gold was the only durable asset, and that the worth of all paper money would eventually collapse to nothing. They believed that lower taxes would cause larger revenues from the government because people would have more incentive to work harder. They believed that once America was forced to deal immediately with its debt, the world would learn to live within its means and economic recessions would be a thing of the past. They believed that once government would stop trying to regulate industry, businesses would police themselves far more effectively from excess. Because if they didn’t, the free market would simply provide a new company which kept its worst excesses in check.
Jacopo: It’s difficult to believe that these beliefs were widespread just 60 years ago.
Esteban: I wish I could say that people have evolved past the libertarian sensibility. But human nature never changes. If a person wants to be stupid, he will find a way. There are beliefs today that are easily as dumb and dangerous as the Libertarian mindset. And before the rise of the Tea Party, Libertarianism had a certain cache. There was even a movement that emerged in the late Bush years to merge liberalism and libertarianism.
Jacopo: One would think they’d be mutually exclusive.
Esteban: Over the years, a lot of dumb movements have allied themselves with liberalism. But every one of them has fizzled out. The meaning of liberalism itself has mutated all throughout its history, because it absorbs the best lessons from more rigid ideologies as it goes. The reason it’s so mutable is because it doesn’t believe much of anything. It’s only belief is ‘whatever works.’ Any true liberal has only one belief when it comes to politics: the greatest possible happiness for the greatest possible number of people. So far, most of the evidence points to political freedom, programs for social welfare, regulated capitalism, democratic governance and sound functions of government. But if truly compelling evidence demonstrated that a corrupt authoritarian system provided the greatest possible happiness, we’d probably support that too.
Jacopo: Well, from the way you describe it, you’d think that all the same things could be said of conservatism.
Esteban: How do you mean?
Jacopo: Hasn’t conservatism gone through hundreds of years, maybe thousands, of even faster mutations? Conservatism never means the same thing from decade to decade, yet from year to year it always stays a consistent force.
Esteban: Well, yes that’s absolutely true. But conservatism isn’t concerned with practical applications of solutions. It is concerned with preserving solutions that already worked. If ‘Whatever Works’ is the motto of liberalism, ‘Whatever Worked’ is conservatism’s equivalent motto. This makes conservatism a far easier ideology, because it never has to concern itself with new solutions that might work better. But a great society still has a place for principled conservatism.
Jacopo: You almost sound like you approve of them.
Esteban: I’ve always respected a certain kind of conservative. There should always be respect the preservation of tradition, the reverence of responsibility and the obligation they feel to serve their great institutions. That’s the conservatism of Teddy Roosevelt, Churchill, de Gaulle, Eisenhower, Adenauer, Lech Walesa, and John McCain. For my own taste, they are the ideal opposition voice in a great society.
Jacopo: It’s amazing to me that in his 80’s, John McCain became Obama’s most effective advocate.
Esteban: History out-ironizes every hipster.
Jacopo: What’s a hipster?
Esteban: Never mind.
Jacopo: So.... in your view there are two conservative strains?
Esteban: Well, if you’re going to divide conservatism, then there are at least two. But if you would bifurcate conservatism, then you would have to do the same with liberalism. There’s the liberalism strain which is concerned solely with the practical solutions of government. I’ll use some strictly twentieth century examples to illustrate this. You’d find leaders like Roosevelt, Truman, Clinton, Blair, Lloyd George, Mandela, Ben-Gurion, Atlee, Nehru, Rabin, and Rathenau. These are leaders who would try anything at all to get the best possible solution. Then there’s the progressive strain, which is more concerned with adhering to moral absolutes than the practical compromises you have to make while governing. In this camp you’d find leaders like Gandhi, Jimmy Carter, Allende, Ehud Barak, Willy Brandt, Harold Wilson, and in their own weird ways, Woodrow Wilson and Lyndon Johnson. And in the same way that liberalism can curdle into progressivism, conservatism can curdle into a kind of religion.
Jacopo: What kind of religion?
Esteban: Any kind of religion to which they can latch on: the religion of the free market, the religion of monarchy, the religion of family values, the religion of pre-emptive war. In this way, Libertarians, monarchists, Christianists and neo-conservatives were all various types of the same kind of conservative. Whereas progressives view institutions as something that should be blown up, religious conservatives view their institutions as something that should control all of our lives and that must always be defended from being moved an inch.
Jacopo: Does this make conservatism more predisposed towards authoritarianism than liberalism?
Esteban: Maybe a little bit, but only a little. And if ideology makes conservatives more predisposed to authoritarianism, then it also makes liberals more predisposed to terrorism. One of the ironies of American history is that in spite of so many people identifying themselves as progressive, an American progressive movement never got off the ground for more than a few years at a time. Whereas no matter how many times religious conservativism is discredited, the cohesion of their movements never seems to go away. After the McCarthy hearings, it was rightly thought that hard-right conservativism was finished for good. But two years later, William F. Buckley founded a hard-right-wing magazine called The National Review, and it became easily the most influential political journal of the twentieth century. Y’know...we’ve gotten very far off-topic.
Jacopo: I know. Would you like a late lunch?
Esteban: I’d be delighted.
Time for a chuckle …

“Just opened a jar of your chickpea miso and it is THE BEST miso I’ve ever tasted
…I can’t stop eating it! Well done!” – Facebook Fan
Chickpea Miso: Artisanal, Delicious and Alive
Chickpeas, not soybeans, star in this yummy, fresh, unpasteurized, organic miso. Chock full of active and probiotic bacteria that boost immunity, our chickpea miso aids in vitamin synthesis and nutrient-absorption—essential for a properly functioning digestive system. This natural health food is incredibly versatile: zip into dips, spread on a sandwich or slide into salad dressings, sauces, stews and soups.
Miso happy there’s no soy!
Using traditional techniques of fermentation and artisanal miso making, FeedingChange uses chickpeas to make sure that not one GMO soybean sneaks into our miso (‘cuz 90% of the world’s production is genetically modified), and we want to take care of the increasing number of people who are allergic or intolerant to soy.
Something magic happens when you make something by hand, a ‘secret’ ingredient that elicits rave reviews from our customers. All the ingredients are organic, of course: chickpeas to make nutrients more bioavailable, handmade rice koji (or Aspergillus oryzae, a naturally occurring fungus used in Japan for hundreds of years in the production of miso and sake), sea salt and pure spring water. Double-fermented, hand-stirred in wooden vats, aged for 60 days, then packaged in glass jars for purity and environmental sustainability, this is living food. Please keep it refrigerated.

Review with Feieats
Nestled in Singapore’s Goodwood Park Hotel on Scotts Road is Alma by Juan Amador, who managed to maintain their One-Michelin star rating for three consecutive years since its debut in 2016. No doubt, we had high expectations when we were invited to experience their new 3rd anniversary dinner menu. We came away with mixed feelings. The meal had a very promising start but failed to hit the crescendo at the end.
Our meal started with their signature Potato bread and a series of bite-size snacks that hit all the right notes. The Strawberry, Black Olive (crispy kale and tomato salad on an olive chip) and Amaebi (King Crab Tom Yum jam topped with Yogurt Parfait) tantalised the taste buds with their rich medley of flavours and textures. The most fun and delicious was the Foie Gras snack which was presented in a brown paper bag (aka Kaya toast takeaway). The buttery piece of smoked-eel flavoured foie grais sandwiched between two small coffee toasts was delightful. I only wished there was a second piece in the bag.
We were presented with the crisp and refreshing Chateau Haut Pougnan Sauvignon, Bordeaux 2016 ($16++ per glass, $63++ per bottle) which was an excellent palate opener.
I am a bread lover, so my interest was piqued right at the start with the signature “bread basket”. Chef Haikal Johari’s Potato Bread which is first steamed then baked to ensure a crisp exterior and a pillowy soft and moist centre. It was excellent. I like how the aroma of fresh bread and coffee filled the air when the box was opened at the table. 4.5/5
To accompany the starters, we had the Domaine de L’Hortus Chardonnay Blend, France 2013 ($20++ per glass, $98++ per bottle) it was a nice transition in body and depth from the white Bordeaux.
Our first course was the Okayama Muscat Grape which was sliced paper thin and topped with sweet Hokkaido Uni. Hidden underneath was a creamy Bluefin Chutoro tartare complemented with a Yuzu Kosho sorbet seasoned Mayonnaise sauce. It was hard to appreciate the delicate flavour of the Muscat grapes as the palate was dominated by the Uni and Chutoro. 3.5/5
Our next course was the Muirgen Oyster. This chawanmushi was presented in a see through chinese tea cup. It was made of a layer of Irish oyster blended with botan ebi on top of a layer of creamy sauce Choron spiked with uni and truffle. The crispy fried Kale provided a nice contrast to the custard. I would have liked to see the oyster to take center-stage rather than playing a supporting role, especially since I had done an in-depth write up on oysters recently. 3.5/5 Click here to read my “oyster files”.
For the first main, we were presented the Iberico Pork Jowl. We both have developed a special affiinity for this porcine delicacy ever since we visited Extremadura in Spain to see black pig in its natural habitat (dehesa) .
The pork jowl was first sous-vide then glazed with aka miso and grilled over binchotan to produce a delightful smoky, crisp crust. It certainly did not disappoint. The pork reduction and Jerusalem artichoke & apple puree was a perfect complement for it. 4/5
Final wine pairing for the meal was the Great Flyte Cabernet Sauvignon, California 2013 ($14++ per glass, $53++ per bottle) which was easy on the tannins and exuded aromas of dark cherry and mild hints of spice.
Our second main – the Ohmi Beef lived up to it’s reputation. The thick wine and beetroot reduction, along with the horseradish potato side made every bite of this Japanese Waygu even more delectable. My only complaint was that it was all over before you could really get into it! We all know that the portions in fine dining are small but they still need to be of an adequate size to get you to a stage where you can actually experience the dish enough to form an impression! Know what I mean? 4.25/5
The Mango dessert of mango creameux, meringue , gooseberry, Yogurt with Myoga (Japanese Ginger) and calamansi foam provides a nice citrusy finish that helped cut through all the rich foods we had in the earlier courses. 4/5
The entire meal came to beautiful finale with Alma’s visually appealing and tasty Petit Fours which I thoroughly enjoyed; much like the snacks that kicked off the meal.
I can’t say we were super impressed with the decor. The use of garish orange and red colours seems a little out of place for a fine dining establishment and the whole place looks a little dated. The entrance to the dining area showcases a wine cellar with an extensive collection of over 450 wine labels around the world. A majority of the wine are from the USA as Alma is one of Singapore’s largest American wine importers.
One can’t help but admire the courage and tenacity of Chef Haikal who was still recovering from a motorbike accident that left him paralysed from waist down when he lead the restaurant to its first Michelin star. I like how he tries to infuse Asian (mostly Japanese) flavours and cooking styles to classic European cuisine. This is commendable but invariably risky as it does take some education to understand new flavour pairings.
It is good to see Chef Juan Amador give free reign of the menu to his head chef. But one has to wonder how much of “Juan Amador” do you get to experience at the restaurant that bears his name?
The price tag for dining at this Michelin star restaurant that is set in a charming old world hotel, is pretty reasonable. The new dinner menus come in 4-course ($117++), 6-course ($158++) and 8-course ($197++) with wine pairing add-ons at $38++, $58++ and $68++ respectively. The delightful snacks were complimentary and not considered as part of the courses which is quite a bonus!
Thanks for reading and do check out the other Michelin star eateries that we’ve reviewed thus far!
This was a media tasting. That means the food was provided with no obligations and no fee was paid for the review.

Health Drinks and Their Benefits
Health drinks have become increasingly popular nowadays. Before it was difficult to find health drink supplement, but currently there seems to countless options that you can choose from. Right now the question is if you can find a health drink that truly has health benefits.
Because of the competition, there are health drinks out there which are just sugar and flavoring. But still, there are health drinks backed up by scientific researches and testimonials of their companies and consumers. Consumers are not afraid to testify or give a testimonial regarding the effectiveness of a product because of its given benefits to them.
Health drinks are becoming a part of the daily routine and meal. Health drinks are also starting to replace coffee, juices and even vitamins as nutrient sources. Some of their claimed benefits would include rejuvenation (specially for the skin), improved eye-sight, anti-aging benefits like memory enhancement, anti-inflammatory, blood cleanser, detoxifier, immune system re-enforcer, goof heart benefits and may even slow down certain cancers.
When choosing the best health drink for you, check the product component and said benefits based on the testimonials of the consumers. The more testimonials you can find, then the better. But do not assume that these same effects will happen to you or help you the same way.
Fruit drinks, as a health drink, are often times used to supplement the diet. Fruit drinks are refreshing that is why a lot of people are including it in their diet. There are some sweetened fruit drinks available commercially, it is oftentimes used to replace soft drinks.
Fruits and vegetables clean the body, the fibers removing the toxins. Fruits and vegetables are great source of vitamins and can even ward of diabetes and obesity. If parents are having difficulty including fruits and vegetables in their children’s diet, then they would make health drinks out of it. It would make it more appealing to the children. They are better tasting and require less consumption.
It is better to consume natural health drinks, unfortunately most of the health drinks available in the market today are usually soft drinks designed to provide energy. These kind of health drinks are made in a way to provide nutrients in the body so that the body will be able to recover from injuries and other kinds of ailments.
Natural health drinks would include fruit juices, as mentioned earlier. Recent studies showed that coffee is even a natural health drink. It helps in fighting diseases, even reduce diabetes and heart diseases. There were also some studies showing tat coffee can reduce the risk of bladder cancer for women.
Researches and studies have always shown that tea has natural benefits. Green tea has antioxidants capabilities, boosts the immune function and helps prevent arteriosclerosis and cancer.
But compared to other health drinks, water is still the most valuable drink for our body. Water is important for the body since it would help the body absorb vitamins and nutrients. Body wastes are carried away by water, water can detoxify your kidneys and liver. Without water, the body will dehydrate. Water dehydration can make the blood thicker making it difficult to circulate around the blood streams.
There are a lot of commercially-made and natural health drinks which claim that can be beneficial to the body. But it is the decision that should always be done with the in consideration with the body and its long term effects on the body. | <urn:uuid:c30a893f-0064-43fc-9a0a-2a7c0e040741> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.fitnessproductsstore.org/health-drinks.html/ | 2019-07-21T17:01:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527089.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721164644-20190721190644-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.966465 | 690 |
The interest that the environment and environmental protection measures are currently generating from the scientific, social and political angles is clear; focusing on the non-fiscal aim of environmental taxes, they should be looked upon as a tool designed to reduce or eradicate polluting behaviour.
The key international institutions – the IMF, the OECD and the EU – take the view that the extent to which these taxes have been developed is insufficient, since the revenues they generate fall well short of the average levels of our neighbouring countries; indirect taxes of an environmental nature therefore need to be increased, going so far as to implement a so-called “Green tax reform”, which would entail replacing part of the tax on earned income and social security contributions with higher environmental taxes payable.
For a full understanding of the environmental tax model in Spain, we need to bear in mind that a major part of such model is made up of taxes approved by the Autonomous Communities which, owing to the reduced implication of the State, have found in them an ideal means of exercising their fiscal power. This makes this question even more relevant in the current circumstances, bearing in mind that the review of the autonomous community and local financing model is viewed within political circles as a clear priority which needs to be addressed in the near future.
There are therefore more than sufficient reasons explaining the decision of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees to back this project, which has involved, along with experts from academia, professionals from all the firms of which the Board is made up. Furthermore, two round tables have taken place, with participants including senior level representatives of the Directorate General of Taxation of the Ministry of the Treasury and of the Climate Change Office pertaining to Ministry of Agriculture and the Environment, the Directorates General of Taxation of several Autonomous Communities, and other experts in the area, whose opinions have been extremely valuable.
Among this extensive list of collaborators, particular mention should be made of the work of Pablo Renieblas (Deloitte) and Pedro González-Gaggero (EY) as coordinators, and the considerable expertise of professor Herrera Molina (UNED), who has a great deal of experience in this area, having formed part of the Committee of Experts put together to study the 2014 tax reform.
The fruit of this work is the book which the Foundation has published in June 2018, which addresses a broad range of technical issues relating to the different taxes currently in existence and the innovations which could be introduced, along with specific proposals by the authors. On the other hand, there is a focus on reflections of a more general nature, regarding the criteria which should be adopted in the tax reform being studied, which seek to reconcile environmental objectives with a well-designed tax policy. This should include the gathering of information and assessment of the impact of new taxes or increases in existing taxes on different business sectors and consumer habits, the implementation of changes through an appropriate legislative technique which guarantees the environmental purpose of the taxes, the combining of tax measures with other measures of various types depending on the circumstances in each case, and the introduction of changes with appropriate measures in place for moderation of the impact in sectoral and temporal terms, so as to avoid the creation of a complex system with too many taxes which increase the indirect tax burden and aim for adequate harmonization or coordination between the different autonomous community taxes, with the State and the Autonomous Communities taking a cooperative approach favourable to the general interest.
The analysis offered focuses on the three areas into which the Project is divided up (with a total of 12 chapters), namely:
- Reflections of a general nature on environmental taxes.
- Taxation of the different sources of environmental impact, in Spain and in Comparative Law.
- Assessment of the current situation of environmental taxation in Spain and recommendations on how to improve it.
The intention of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, and of the authors, is that this Project and the book which has resulted from it, should provide the various social partners who are to play a role in the study and eventual approval of the pending reform with a useful working tool over the coming months. The reform undertaken will need to be one of considerable importance, for environmental protection policy in Spain and in terms of the basic structure of the Spanish tax system, with a possible redefinition of the balance between its different taxes and the distribution of competences between territorial bodies at different levels.

It has been five years since plans of a hospital coming to Maricopa were announced.
In 2012, Dignity Health purchased nearly 19 acres on the northeast corner of John Wayne Parkway and Smith-Enke Road with the intention of building a 34,800-square-foot emergency facility and hospital by 2016.
The provider opened an urgent care facility in the Maricopa Fiesta shopping center the following year, but movement up the road on a new facility has not materialized.
It’s a service missing in the community, a fact Economic Development Director Denyse Airheart recognizes.
“People want to be able to be born in Maricopa and they want to be able to die in Maricopa, and I feel like it’s a huge element that does not exist in the city today,” Airheart said.
Since buying the property for more than $2 million five years ago, Dignity Health experienced an “evolution in healthcare,” Airheart said, including the hiring of a new CEO and the adoption of a new business model which likely slowed development of a facility in the city.
“There was discussion about Maricopa being the next location for a micro E.R. a few years ago. However, we did not meet the 25-mile radius requirement,” Airheart said.
Aiheart explained that state regulation mandates stand-alone emergency rooms be located 25 miles away from the provider’s main hospital. Chandler Regional Medical Center is 22 miles from Maricopa.
However, just because an emergency room has not been built, it does not mean one won’t be built.
“I think that our market will be one of the first ones the new CEO visits to assess what it is we need and how we fit into their future needs,” Airheart said.
The same year Dignity Health purchased land, Banner Health Center opened on Porter Road. The building sits on 20 acres owned by the provider and is the first of three phases of the clinic. The plansinclude construction of a second floor.
“[Banner has] been growing aggressively throughout the entire state, so I think that they’re perfectly poised for expansion in the southern portion of Maricopa,” Airheart said.
Even without a hospital, healthcare options in Maricopa have grown dramatically since before the days of incorporation in 2003.
Longtime resident Becky Bandin moved to the town in 1959 as a teenager. When someone was ill back then, they commuted to doctors’ offices and hospitals in the Valley and Casa Grande, Bandin explained.
Eventually, physicians came to Maricopa, and residents also used the urgent care facility, but Bandin said it is still not enough for the community’s needs.
“We need a hospital,” Bandin said. “The urgent care isn’t fully equipped and they still send us to Chandler and Phoenix.”
The possibility of a Maricopa hospital is something Airheart said could be a reality in a few years.
“If we see something happen in next two to three years, I think it’s perfect timing for (Dignity Health) and (Banner),” Airheart said.
Neither Dignity Health nor Banner responded to requests for an interview. | <urn:uuid:973c6a87-429d-4a1d-bffc-b9eaab01d87f> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.inmaricopa.com/plans-for-maricopa-hospital-on-ice/ | 2019-07-21T18:31:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527089.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721164644-20190721190644-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.958944 | 697 |

Not just a song but a certain truth about the line, Life is a constant change.
When I was young, my mom would always refer to a grand birthday celebration with Goldilocks cakes. We have always believed then that those who throw parties with Goldilocks cakes were those of the well-off families but my mom managed to buy simple chocolate cakes at our birthdays with her meager savings of coins. It's been 35 years and she still believes so though she lives in the United States now.
The biggest change is that she celebrates birthdays now with fresh lumpia of Goldilocks after missing Filipino food in the US and not cakes anymore. She regularly visits Goldilocks San Francisco branch when she can for the lumpia instead of cakes. When we communicate on the phone, I'd tell her how the ensaymada packaging has changed and how varieties of cakes of Goldilocks improved in the middle of conversations about how we both live in different worlds. We cry how life had been difficult not seeing each other and missing celebrations together and laugh at silly moments visiting Goldilocks here and abroad looking at senior citizens still preferring those classic Filipino meals at their ages. My mom is now 62 years old and some things have changed like her preferences in food. She used to love those Goldilocks palabok and dinuguan but she has changed to fresh lumpia and still continues to lecture how important it is to eat vegetables and stay healthy in my constant "lambing" to ask her to always buy me those Goldilocks Brazo de Mercedes.

I have also changed from being a Goldilocks chocolate cake lover to a Brazo de Mercedes addict and though she constantly yaps about how too much of sugar is not good for my health, she gives in every time I'd cry how life these days is so stressful and tells me that Brazo de Mercedes is the only answer to all my frustrations. After all, I've learned about Brazo de Mercedes from Goldilocks and how important this dessert is in Philippine history (how the Spanish friars taught us how to make Brazo de Mercedes in brick ovens during the colonization period) and she is constantly proud of me sharing all these to all my students in the public school.
Some things have changed and some changes should be for the better.
We have both changed our preferences in food but we have managed not to change being close and always communicating as mothers and daughters. This Filipino tradition, I am most proud of and should be shared to all. The Filipino tradition that Goldilocks helped the Filipino culture - family celebrations and unforgettable moments of happiness. Thank you Goldilocks! | <urn:uuid:e730a9b2-5d69-4503-98e7-82ebafdb4fb5> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.jobonsol.net/2010/08/pagbabago.html | 2019-07-21T16:52:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527089.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721164644-20190721190644-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.886887 | 1,306 |
2nd Place at the PWA Lanzarote 2008!
The first event of the Freestyle PWA World Cup is over and I take the 2nd place!
Sarah-Quita won the woman event - she's sailing really amazing!- and Gollito the men's. The show was incredible all week long.
I'm really happy with the heats I sailed, and it was a lot of fun sailing the finals with Sarah.
We're off to Gran Canaria for the next event now. It will take place in Pozo from the 4th to the 12th of July with slalom, freestyle and wave action, which is guaranteed to be amazing . I will be doing the freestyle and the wave event. | <urn:uuid:a2acc3d5-5f25-4d47-9f69-32bbdcc70c9b> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.lauretreboux.com/en/news/2008/6/28/2nd-place-at-the-pwa-lanzarote-2008 | 2019-07-21T17:35:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527089.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721164644-20190721190644-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.965528 | 152 |
Aim High Week began on Monday 10 July with ‘Be Proud Day’ to celebrate the cultural diversity of our school community and stand together against all forms of hatred, racism and extremism. Students and staff wrote pledges to show their support for the day and wore clothes to represent their community. The day raised over £1500 for our United World Schools in Cambodia. Throughout Aim High Week the Piazza was buzzing with students and staff from different tutor groups competing to raise the most money for this UWS by using their social entrepreneurial skills. Year 7 girls and their tutors created a great market-place of stalls selling hand-made craft products, second-hand goods, fruit smoothies and more! It was really brilliant seeing students and staff working together and taking great pride in their achievements. Thank you to everyone who participated in Aim High Week – I will announce the final total raised next week.
On Wednesday the PE Curriculum Area organised an amazing range of physical activities as part of the ‘Vitality Day’. Students got involved in BMX bike riding, Fencing, Zumba and also had the chance to use the bouncy castle and learn about healthy eating in lessons. In maths lessons girls calculated the different values of different types of food as part of a wider understanding of a healthy diet and exercise. Well done PE for inspiring us all to make a pledge to a healthier life style!
On Thursday evening we welcomed back Year 11 in their finest clothes for their Year 11 Prom – this special event gave the girls a chance to celebrate their time at Sarah Bonnell and say goodbye. Staff and Year 10 Prefects worked hard to transform the Piazza and Assembly Hall into a ‘Great Gatsby’ themed party. There was a DJ, Candy Floss, Photo booth, balloons, feathers and lots of smiles. The girls all looked absolutely beautiful as they walked up the red carpet and I know they enjoyed a lovely celebration of their time here. I would like to say a big thank you to Ms Sangster, Ms Harvey, Ms Nahaboo and Ms Ward for all their hard work preparing for this special event and to the Year 10 prefect team and staff who helped on the night.
This week we also had a great focus on literacy with our annual Reading on the Green organised by Ms Malik, Literacy Coordinator. The girls were selling second hand books and there were deck chairs, picnic blankets and strawberries and cream to encourage a great environment for getting immersed in a good read.
Last week a group of Year 9 girls went on a visit to SOAS University of London led by Ms Badar. Students worked with SOAS under-graduate ambassadors over three days to have a taste of higher education and to enhance their knowledge and understanding of Urdu at university level. Savaira Khan 9L said ‘During my time at SOAS I learned a lot and gained confidence. I enjoyed working with the ambassadors and … getting first prize’. Aim High!
The week ended on a real high note for me as I met two Year 8 students who has been nominated for two different awards this week. Tahmina had been nominated by Mr Walsh for Student of the Week and was really proud to tell me about her achievements during lunch in the cafeteria. What impressed me was Tahmina’s determination to work hard to improve her work and attitude. At break-time I met Dorcas Mbala in 8B for Headteacher Weekly Award. Dorcas was nominated by Ms Costas for performing her ‘Ambition’ poem in assembly this week. Dorcas read the poem to me today and I was hugely impressed with her dream to become Head Girl and then Prime Minister. She has the sort of ambition that is going to make a difference to our society. Well done to both these girls.
Next week is the last week of this busy summer term. On Wednesday we have our annual Achievement Day and celebration of the Sarah Bonnell School Birthday. We are delighted that Tafsia Shikder, former Head Girl, will be speaking at this event. Tafsia has won a scholarship, worth £200,000, to one of the best universities in the world, MIT Boston, as a result of her excellent GCSE results and academic ability. This special assembly will also be attended by parents, school governors and governors from the Sarah Bonnell Foundation.
On Thursday you are warmly invited to attend our Music Summer Showcase – tickets are available in advance from Student Reception.
Students will be dismissed at 12.30pm on Friday 21 July and we look forward to another great year starting for students on Tuesday 5 September 2017. For more details please check the school website and app and look out for the letter being sent home with your daughters next week.
I wish you all a safe, relaxing and enjoyable summer holiday and would like to thank you for your support throughout the year.

The Chilli Pickle
You know I love this restaurant. Having had time to bed into its new location in a more foot-fall friendly road and increased in size, it still retains all of its magic, quality and affordability. With a larger premises, they have been able to expand their tandoori dishes and the huge mixed meat platter as well as the whole tandoori sea bass are worth going for alone. The Oxtail Madras is also back on the menu - one of Mr. GF's favourite dishes. Still have a great selection of beers, still have fantastic staff, this is such a great asset to the Brighton dining scene. [Previous review here and here.]
Sam's of Brighton (Kemptown)
Another one of my favourites, Sam's can be relied upon for simple yet robust, quality cooking. Their lack of faff is a real plus point as well as their smart bistro style interior. Plus it's round the corner from my house! Using lots of fantastic produce, the meat dishes in particular are always good. On this visit I had a really succulent pig's cheek starter (which was on the specials) and a delicious and surprisingly hearty Salt Marsh lamb salad. I also tried a really nice Sicilian wine from Mandra Rossa which was new to me. [Previous review]
Love Poppy's underground restaurant
I attended a really pleasant event here courtesy of Casillero Del Diablo wines. Fab wines aside, Poppy delivered another stonking, beautifully presented meal. Her slow cooked pork was droolingly good. And you know what it's like at underground restaurants with strangers where everyone is being polite? Yeah, well, forks were spearing leftover meat here, there and everywhere! Mr GF, usually such a charming man, made sure he nabbed the bone of the platter for the last tasty morsels! Dessert was the prettiest of the month too.
You won't get her attention to detail in any restaurant in town. Get down to here if you can, upcoming events here. More info available at www.lovepoppy.co.uk.
Whenever I have a troop of visitors, I march them down to Boho for an education in gelato. Now my visitors DEMAND we factor in a visit here! Offering a different experience every day as the flavours change constantly, I loved my lemon and poppy seed and mint choice this time. The best bit about going with a load of people is you get to share (if they let you!) so got to try the Gin and Tonic, Cherry and White Chocolate and Honeycomb flavours (although you can always ask the server nicely for a little taste). [Previous review]
I'll almost forgive them for always running out of my favourite Cocoa product, the briochette unless I go in super early, because the second choice will always be first class anyway like their flaky croissant, tartlets, macarons and beautiful mousse cakes. Since discovering this gem, I refuse to eat pastries from anywhere else in the city. A piece of Paris right in the heart of Brighton. Bliss. [Previous review]
I popped in for a solo lunch because I wanted a really good feed and a steaming hot bowl of their Pho is always going to fill you up! I tend to go for the meatballs and brisket, shoving loads of the supplied coriander, chilli and beansprouts in. It is a heavy lunch but instead of making me sleepy, always makes me feel strong and virtuous - perfect to fuel an afternoon back at the studio designing! Nice and casual, I always enjoy my visits here. [Previous review]
Another chain yes, but another quick post-work meal on the fly. I do think from reading reviews we have a particularly good branch here, I think the interior is the nicest in the old music library and I've yet to have a dud meal off the full menu (the cheap early dining menu can be a bit hit and miss).

Indie Joshua Tree Wedding | Valarie + Richie
It was an Indie Joshua Tree Wedding // They escaped together hand in hand and had an intimate desert wedding! Valarie had a badass bridal birdcage veil and Richie to say the least was a very dapper groom. These two had vintage romantic class out the yin yang and lovingly made their own DIY decor that brought eclectic touches to this Indie Joshua Tree Wedding. Check out photos of it all below.
It was only fitting for them to have their wedding in Joshua Tree. They were budget smart and had rented a couple of Airbnb’s. (Quickly find an Airbnb for your wedding here) They had one unique blue house where Valarie and a few of her closest got ready and another made of wood with a wrap around deck where they had their reception.
They had an open desert ceremony surrounded by Joshua Tree’s while having live music to greet their guests. It was an intimate wedding where you could feel that heavy authentic love. Family and friends came together to celebrate something truly special and unique.
See photos from this Indie Joshua Tree Wedding below including some unique DIY center pieces Fun fact: These crazy kids have been coming to the desert together for years. Heck, I remember when Richie first reached out to me. He had this whole plan to surprise Val and to purpose to her at their favorite spot in Joshua Tree (I got to photograph and get misty eyed over the whole thing) Something I am very attracted to are abandoned properties. Joshua Tree and it’s surrounding areas never cease to deliver. It was clear to say that we were going to bounce around and take some romantic and unique bride and groom photos. Valarie had the classiest little Succulent Bouquet to go with her birdcage veil. Perfectly fitting for their vintage style Joshua Tree Desert Wedding. The focus of the day truly was surrounded by love for Valarie + Richie and the commitment they were making for one another. Friends and family helped set up their DIY table center pieces made up of succulents in tin cans, vases and balanced native rocks. T’was super duper cool. They also had string lights and the Airbnb reception came with a vintage bus as well as a vintage Silver Streak Trailer. I got a photo of Valarie in her birdcage veil in front of those bad boys and man was it fitting. Something else we got to do at this badass Joshua Tree wedding was sneak out and take some creative bride and groom night shots! Heck yes! Richie is also a photographer (check him out here) so naturally his creative wheels got to spinning for his own wedding. He and some friends brought lights to illuminate those wicked cool Joshua Tree’s all sorts of colors that popped against that dark desert night. We had a blast. Definitely included some of those bride and groom portrait photos below.

Injuries and lawsuits against you
This coverage is called personal liability and covers property damage and injury lawsuits. That means if you/your family members are responsible for someone else’s injuries or damages to their property. You can add coverages for libel, slander, or other lawsuits.

Guaranteed Replacement Cost
Pays the full cost of replacing damaged property, with no deduction for depreciation and no dollar limit.

To make sure you have the best homeowners insurance policy you may need to add a flood policy! It doesn’t matter if you live in a flood plain, every property owner is susceptible to flood damage and your homeowners insurance doesn’t cover it. Let us give you a flood insurance quote today!
Who Needs Flood Insurance?
When your home is flooded, it can lead to financial ruin if you don’t have the proper insurance. And note this: Even the best homeowners insurance policy won’t cover your flood damage! You need flood insurance – a special policy backed by the federal government, with cooperation from local communities and private insurance companies. To make sure you have the best homeowners insurance policy you may need to add a flood policy!
About 200 insurance companies, possibly including the company that already handles your homeowners or auto insurance, write and service flood insurance policies for the government, which finances the program through premiums. Although flood insurance is relatively inexpensive, most Americans neglect to purchase protection. Only about one-quarter of the homes in areas most vulnerable are insured against flood loss, according to the Federal Insurance Administration (FIA). In those areas, flooding is 26 times more likely to occur than a fire during the course of a typical 30-year mortgage.
More than 19,000 communities have agreed to stricter zoning and building measures to control floods, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Residents in these communities are entitled to purchase flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), a program FEMA oversees.
Purchasing your policy
The average flood insurance premium in 2000 was $353 a year. The average amount of flood insurance purchased in 2000 was $124,089. Policies are available in three forms: “Dwelling” (most homes); “General Property” (apartments and businesses); and “Residential Condominium Building Association Policy” (condominiums). All have limits on coverage. You might be eligible for discounts if you live in a low- to moderate-risk zone.
Flood Zone Information
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has placed more than 19,000 communities in the United States into a category of flood zones. Each community is able to participate in the agency’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), with premium rates determined by the risks of flooding. To indicate the risks in different parts of the country, FEMA has assigned a character from the alphabet to each zone. To make sure you have the best homeowners insurance policy you may need to add a flood policy!
The major zone categories are V and A, which have the highest risk of flooding. Older maps list B and C as minimal-risk zones, but those characters have been phased out and relabeled as X zones on new flood maps.
There are several ways to find out which zone applies to you. You can go to your town hall or city hall, where employees responsible for issuing building permits in your area have access to flood zone maps. If you are buying a home, your Realtor and your insurance agent should be able to help you. Also, you can order a flood map from the FEMA’s Map Service Center for a nominal charge by calling (800) 358-9616 or by visiting the FEMA Web site.
V, A, X & D Zones
V zones generally include the first row of beachfront properties. The hazards in these areas are increased because of wave velocity – hence the V designation. These property owners pay more than $1,000 annually and flood insurance is mandatory.
A zones – the next most volatile of the SFHAs – are subject to rising waters and are usually near a lake, river, stream or other body of water. Flood insurance is mandatory in all A zones, where premiums can be about $895 annually because of the high potential of flooding.
A-zone maps also include AE, AH, AO, AR, and A99 designations, all having the same rates. The different A zones are named depending on the way in which they might be flooded.
X zones – are minimal-risk areas where flood insurance is not mandatory. Homeowners in X zones (which are labeled B and C zones on older maps) pay as little as $395 annually. In certain cases, property owners may qualify for the $100-a-year preferred risk policy.

In short I think I may have a slight chance of having dropped Malware on my phone via an infected ad (redirect was to rdr.harbwire). Am just keen to ascertain the risk given some of the things I have on the phone. I think I am likely OK but would be greatful for a second opinion.
What I was doing;
- Was surfing a wiki of a TV Show using the standard Android internet browser (on a Samsung). Java Script was on, Cookies were off.
- Get re-directed to a pop ad over the browsing screen where you could only click OK (address was something like rdr.harbwire). Had seen these on PC's so knew not to click OK. Tried clicking back which didn't work - as I couldn't see how to close the pop up (tried to load in a new screen but re-directed me back to the ad).
- Quit the browser, used History Eraser & went back in - and it is still there.
- Found Internet in App.Manager (why did they have to hide it somewhat?) & cleared all data and cache.
- Went back & it is now gone. Have then switched off all Java Script & Cookies etc.
- Ran Avast Mobile Security a couple of times (which only seems to scan apps now?) which came back clear.
- Looked at the internet which seemed to suggest nobody else is panicing (the fact I clicked back bothers me - one of the screens that tried to load in seemed to suggest Malware may have infected or tried to infect my phone).
- Think I am OK - phone seems OK but I am slightly OCD about these things.
In short is there a way of telling whether I am in the clear or not? I don't do much with the phone but just want to know I am OK. I'm just concerned about the possible risk of a drive-by style download approach from the ad.
