Some of Spurs’ best football this season has come from the flanks and many supporters feel that it’s no coincidence that our better results have come about when both Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon have been in the team.
That situation isn’t like to happen for the foreseeable future though and Lennon’s persistent hamstring problem will cause him to miss tomorrow’s game against Bolton and the midweek league match at home to Stoke.
On the left wing, there is cover for Bale, even if it may not be in the same class. Although this cover has dwindled since January with Steven Pienaar and Andros Townsend out on loan, we still have Danny Rose and Niko Kranjcar if needed.
On the right side however it’s a different story and although Sandro and Jake Livemore have been used in that position, neither can replicate the wing play that Lennon has shown in this campaign.
In the last couple of years, Aaron Lennon has come in for his fair share of criticism but maybe we miss him more than we realise. | <urn:uuid:98c0d54c-f1d1-425b-aa49-7ce74d590d68> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.tottenhamblog.com/2012/03/16/how-does-harry-cover-for-lennon/ | 2020-09-22T11:25:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400205950.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922094539-20200922124539-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.970321 | 223 |

What You Should Know
By Councilman Rev. Ruben Diaz
You should know that African-American State Senator Jamaal Bailey is emerging as the next Democratic Party Chairman in Bronx County, replacing Assemblyman Marcos Crespo who resigned leaving politics to work in the private sector.
You should also know that political leaders such as Congressman Adriano Espaillat, State Assemblywoman Natalia Fernández, and Assemblyman Víctor Pichardo among others, have publicly expressed their opposition to Jamaal Bailey, claiming that said position should be filled by a member of the Hispanic community.
My dear reader it is important for you to know, that the congressional seat for District # 15 in Bronx County, based on its Hispanic demographics, has been held by Latinos for almost 50 years. This seat was first occupied by Herman Badillo, then Roberto Garcia, and for the last 30 years has been held by Jose Serrano.
During this past Democratic Primary elections, held in June of this year, there were several Hispanic candidates vying to fill said position. In addition to myself, were Puerto Rican, Melissa Mark-Viverito, Richie Torres, the Dominican Ydanis Rodríguez, and Samelis López, among others.
On that occasion, Assemblywoman Natalia Fernández and Assemblyman Víctor Pichardo were heading those, who seemed to have forgotten the Latino Demographics of the 15th Congressional District, and publicly endorsed, the African-American, Assemblyman Michael Blake. They not only ignored that this congressional seat has a trajectory of being held by a member of the Hispanic Community, but they went against the people’s right to have a congress member that is representative of the areas Latino population.
If they could not support my candidacy due to my anti-abortion and anti same-sex marriage positions, they could have supported Richie Torres, Viverito, Ydanis or Samelis, but they chose not to, and instead threw their support behind Michael Blake. How disingenuous! What audacity and what nerve they have to say that the "Democratic County Chair" and "Borough President" positions should be occupied by a Hispanic. Simply put they are opportunists. They have the audacity to claim that the Latino community should be represented by a Latino, simply put because one is vying to be Democratic County Chairman and the other aspires to be Bronx Borough President. So now they claim and stand on their Hispanicity! What hypocrisy!
Few years ago, Congressman Adriano Espaillat, demonstrated the same audacity when he, being a Dominican Hispanic, chose to go against his own and threw his support behind Robert Jackson, going against Dominican Senator Marisol Alcantara, he also denied his support for Dominican Senator José Peralta. These two Dominican Senators, Peralta and Alcántara lost their Senate seats.
Espaillat also had little interest in defending, protecting or maintaining the unity of his own community, when he threw his support behind Mark Levine, against a fellow Dominican ,Guillermo Linares, denying the Dominican Community from having one of their own as their representative in the City Council.
At no time did Adriano Espaillat claim Hispanicity to defend them or the Dominican Community. This brings to mind the childhood story entitled "The Emperors New Clothes”. Now Espaillat wants to deceive his community by supposedly putting on “new clothes”. Now he wants to come to the Bronx and present himself as the great virtuous leader in defense of Hispanicity, when he never had the courage or the moral will to defend his own people in his own backyard. My dear reader this Emperor has no new clothes.
Jamaal Bailey is a very decent Afro-American Senator, super prepared, dedicated to his community and not looking to be critical of anyone. It is very true that Senator Bailey and I have ideological differences and core beliefs, but I say, “render unto Caesar, what is Caesar’s.” Jamal Bailey’s qualifications are insurmountable when compared to some opportunists who only come out to defend Hispanics when its convenient and beneficial for them personally.
You should know that I bring this to light, not because of what some might say or think that its due to sour grapes. I bring this to light because I am tired and disillusioned with so much hypocrisy. I have decided that from now on I will expose those that are opportunist and who use the Hispanic community only when its personally advantageous for them.
I am Councilman Rev. Rubén Diaz and this is What You Should Know.
This seems to be a rivalry between Councilman Ruben Diaz Sr. and Congressman Adriano Espaillat that goes back to when both were in the State Senate, and on different sides on most issues.
In our coverage of last weeks Norwood 'Food and Mask Giveaway' we mentioned State Senator Jamaal Bailey as the next Bronx County Democratic Leader, and it seems that others now realize that should happen. We have nothing against the others mentioned by Councilman Diaz, but we question Congressman Espaillat's ability to control a Bronx County Democratic organization when the majority of his district is in the borough of Manhattan.
Assemblywoman Fernandez has announced her intention to run for Bronx Borough President. While currently it is a long shot, should she be elected Bronx Borough President she could not serve as Bronx Democratic County Leader, otherwise our current Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr, would have been the Democratic County Leader, not former Assemblyman Marcos Crespo. Assemblyman Pichardo in our opinion is not ready to be the Democratic County Leader.
Two years ago I asked State Senator Bailey if he was ready to become the Bronx Democratic County Leader. His answered that there was a Bronx Democratic County Leader in place, and maybe sometime in the future he would have to give the position some thought. The time is now, and State Senator Bailey has matured quickly in the State Senate and the borough of the Bronx. State Senator Jamaal Bailey should be able to be the leader the Bronx Democratic County organization needs to bring it back to where it should be, while embracing the new dynamics of the current political thinking.
That is what you need to know. | <urn:uuid:bf367a0a-8829-478b-bf1b-eea9fa8e31ae> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://100percentbronx.blogspot.com/2020/09/council-member-ruben-diaz-sr-does.html | 2020-09-23T19:26:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.974435 | 1,289 |

Part 2 – How Covid19 is transforming the workforce
The new ways of working not only will change the nature of the workplace but can also make companies more effective. Outplacement providers who figure out how to use today’s adversity to invent tomorrow’s workplace will be the ones that prosper in the long term. This was the main subject of the 2nd webinar on Covid19. During this webinar we discussed the current situation by answering 2 questions:
1. How has Covid19 effected you and your business?
2. How have you reacted business wise, coped with and found creative solutions to deal with?
Per country the governments made different decisions. You can read here, what the consequences are for your colleagues from Austria, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom and how they reacted.

In Sweden there has not been a lock down. The country’s strategy has not been a complete success. One in four persons living in Stockholm could soon be infected by the coronavirus, the Swedish health agency reported on Friday (24 April), adding that half of the 2.35 million-strong city could be infected within the next six to seven weeks. The parliament enabled the government on 16 April to take special measures in response to the coronavirus.
Industry: Not only automotive but also other branches are suffering. Service business hotels/restaurants and small shops are trying to survive and ask for assistance. Therefor outplacement industry is going very well and needs to get new people in for consulting regarding outplacement. The money comes from transition funds, not from companies. At the moment we are renting our HR people to companies who do not have an HR manager. With the upcoming redundancies they need to have an HR manager for the coming period 5/6 months.
Change: In the future digitalisation and distance coaching is here to stay.
Most companies need to make a differentiation. Distance coaching is cheaper (no offices), but you will look more alike in this way. The brand name is important and the brand you offer. In the future we have to continue in our performance of person to person coaching, as this is our usp. At the same time leadership management is important. New areas to explore. Recruitment process will be still interested for companies. A professional recruiter could be very interesting to have in your team.
Forecast: In the first four month of this year the outplacement industry already reached its annual turnover. A growth of 200/300% this year is expected. We will level up for next year regarding the expected increase of the outplacement business.
The UK is still in lockdown although this is expected to ease a little from May 7th – it will take many months before normality returns. British Airways has communicated to lay off 12,000 of its 42,000 workers – many more organisations to follow.
UK government is furloughing workers and under-writing 80% of their salary (up to £2500pp/pm) until the end of June. British firms have been encouraged to stagger employees’ working hours as part of the phase-out of the coronavirus lockdown, The UK government is expected to reveal plans to ease the lockdown soon. However, UK became, on 29 April, the European country with the second-highest death toll, surpassing Spain and France.
Industry: Outplacement activity is still not increasing but an expectation that this will increase quickly if the furlough activity ceases.
We have seen a small but noticeable increase in opportunities and enquiries.
Change: Moving forward we’ll see a significant number of people working from home and the expectation is that travel will be much more limited than before.
Forecast: Unemployment rate was 3.9% before Furlough – expected to go as high as 10-12% before dropping back to 5-6% at year end – however that is all estimation at the moment.

The Dutch government ministers are not planning to relax social distancing rules, despite MPs hoping that people working more’hands-on’ jobs would restart before the ban on their activities is supposed to end on 20 May. The closure of schools and children’s sports clubs are the only measures that are lifted in May. All other “intelligent lockdown” rules will be extended until at least 20 May, while all events including professional football are suspended until 1 September, the PM added.
Industry: Business has changed rapidly over the past few months. People adapt quite easily to the new situation by working remote. Decrease at the moment regarding outplacement.
Change: Remote work will change our work as career transition providers. In the Netherlands people are now asking for virtual delivery of the programs.
We need to adjust our tooling for the future. What will be the wallet of the companies later this year when restructuring starts? Do we need to lower the price and the content of the outplacement programs?
Forecast: Expected that larger companies will restructure by the end of the year. Increase of requests for outplacement will consequently follow.
The French government presented a plan to ease the country’s coronavirus lockdown on Tuesday (28 April). Primary schools and day-cares will reopen from 11 May with staggered restarts for older grades. Meanwhile, three of France’s largest trade unions have proposed that Amazon France’s management gradually resume its activities while the US logistics giant has to stay closed until 5 May.
Industry: Partial unemployment measurements are being financed by the Government. At the moment no massive unemployment. However a large wave of unemployment (2 million) is expected in the last quarter of the year. Current restructuring projects are continuing. Governmental administration has slowed down on approving restructuring project. Clients who were planning restructuring the organisation, do continue in doing this.
Change: Working on new remote programs: coaching, surveys, career development.
Companies will take different forms. There will be reduction on workforce, reflection about the work force on allocation of staff, interactivity within the company and the future of the jobs.
The crisis has showed the importance of change management and crisis management knowledge for the middle management and HR managers, this is interesting from a business development perspective.
Forecast: Minus 30% in delivering and invoicing. Few new orders. This will catch up by the end of the year. It will be a flat year. Next year will be very interesting and expecting an increase. BPI has 3 business lines. Talent management services, Organisation and Change, Restructuring. All business lines will be in demand as all companies will need to change.

The Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin laid out the country’s new hybrid coronavirus strategy with an emphasis on ramping up testing. On 18 April, a tabloid, Ilta-Sanomat, revealed that Finland missed out the first chances to get protective gear through a joint European Union effort.
Change: The new normal will be digitalisation and distant working in all countries. We need to act fast and invest in service innovation and service design in outplacement if we want to prosper in the future. Outplacement is a commodity, so we have developed more in leadership development. The culture question will arise in companies. Now it shows how important it is to have a good strong positive culture as this has an effect on the well being within the company and the result.
A new type of leadership has to be developed.
Spain’s coronavirus lockdown will be lifted in stages although de-escalation could progress at different speeds at a provincial level. With less new cases and deaths, the curve of the pandemic has begun to flatten.
Industry: Unfortunately Spain has become the international benchmark for this drama. There is no unity in the country regarding the measurements taken. Instead of a general national approach one sees now 2 camps both with a political background. The economy is depressed and many companies are in danger. Tourism is Spain’s main income source and will be severely hit this summer.
Change: At the moment we are in close contact with our clients, as we are aware that they will require our services during the hard time that is ahead of us.
The balance is how to be close in the distance? How can you get the human touch if there is not a face to face meeting? We think of reaching new segments based on our social existence. Working with B2C segment, starts to make sense to us.
We see a shift from the office to the website as we cannot maintain relations from a sales/business development perspective, the way we used to do by personal visits. We are rethinking the website and its functions.
Forecast: Business is picking up it will definitely rise quite significantly.

The government rolled out an economy plan but has not given concrete details yet on implementation. The plan would include tax reductions for low and middle-income workers, relief for the economy to “save, maintain and create” new jobs and investments in climate and digitalisation.
As of 1 May, Austrians can head outside without a stated reason and companies will reopen. Schools are expected to reopen on 15 May, restaurants will reopen June. Large events are not allowed until summer.
Change: Digitalisation will change the work. Writing CV’s, supporting applications can be done on distance. 90 % of the clients like to back to the office and face to face meetings can not be replaced. Coaching development, personal development you have specific elements that need to be discussed. They are longing for the face to face meetings.
Forecast: These last 2 months were very low no extra business. At the moment we see a huge request for coaching, outplacement new placement.
On 27 April, the first round of lifting restrictions came into effect with hair salons, home improvement stores, and garden centres re-opening. Provided there isn’t a significant increase in infections, the Swiss government plans to restart schools on 11 May. A third round of restrictions are set to be loosened on 8 June, pending a government agreement on 27 May.
Change: We see a need for more and more blending offering. We have to develop digital programs for distant coaching (remote tools) and home office.
These last 3 months we have noticed a drop of 30% regarding outplacement. For the rest of 2020 we expect an increase of 30%. Which makes 2020 a flat year.
For 2021 we expect an increase of 10%. | <urn:uuid:340be7a9-08b1-48e7-9a43-0e7c2756cc75> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://acfinternational.org/activities/webinars/april-29-2020/ | 2020-09-23T19:29:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.947884 | 2,247 |
Iain Macwhirter writes regularly for The Herald and Sunday Herald and is spot on with this tweet in which he points out that the Scottish Government was, until very recently, following a policy of 'herd immunity' in relation to Coronavirurus.This was the view of the government’s medical advisers and scientists right up until the moment they stopped saying it. https://t.co/LZyltsy26G— Iain Macwhirter (@iainmacwhirter) May 26, 2020
Coronavirus - Then and Now (28/05/20)
Here's an interesting Channel 4 interview with Scotland's national clinical director, Jason Leitch who was speaking on behalf of the Scottish Government on 16 March 2020, the week before the current lockdown was imposed.
Here are some key points that jump out to me, albeit with the benefit of hindsight which was not available to the decision-makers at the time:
Yet it seems crystal clear, even now, that a major weakness of the agreed government strategy was the role played in spreading the virus far and wide - by people who were already infected without showing any symptoms of Covid-19.
I would also say that government lost sight of the need to make social care and care homes as big a priority as the NHS.
But do make time listen to Jason Leitch's Channel 4 interview and decide for yourself. | <urn:uuid:c72a266a-9736-42f0-aa5c-09f03083e169> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://action4equalityscotland.blogspot.com/2020/05/scotland-coronavirus-and-herd-immunity.html | 2020-09-23T20:22:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.975718 | 290 |
Rights, rights and more rights.
Due to constant and often strange interpretations of Canada’s charter of rights, the rights of Canadians are constantly under discussion. This is a good thing as rights are pretty much one of the most important things that we have as citizens in a democratic nation.
In Canada it would appear that murderers and chronic escapees have the right to walk away from minimum security prisons at will. What confounds me with these prisoners exercising their right to escape and further terrorize Canadians is why these men would choose to walk away from Ferndale Institution in the first place. This is the “prison” that has offered such things as horseback riding, pizza delivery and until recently a nine-hole golf course.
The golf course was closed a few years ago. Due to the latest escape (walkaway) by a declared dangerous offender, there are only 9 remaining dangerous offenders currently in Ferndale. It is doubtless that those who thrive on pampering vicious criminals such as the John Howard Society will be lobbying and howling that these prisoners have the right to golfing and we should bring back their course before the remaining 9 murderers and such choose to walk away in hopes of finding a new pitch and putt.
Myself, I am rather heartless. I don’t care if I hurt the feelings of murderers, rapists and those who feel that these animals have as many rights as law abiding criminals. I am proposing an offensive and profound concept that may reduce the number of walkaways in Canada’s prisons in this link. I hope this idea is not too offensive.
Now, putting aside the rights of murderers, rapists and such to enjoy pizza delivery and long walks in the rain, Canada has been tied up lately in the battle for what I would consider to be a much more important right. That right of course is freedom of speech.
Most often the discussion of rights comes up when one right clashes with another. The assumed right for one not to have their feelings hurt trumps the right to free speech in the eyes of way too many in this nation.
The latest in the series of SLAPP suits against journalists, media outlets and bloggers who have dared to speak freely is one threatened by Canadian Human Rights Commission lawyer Giacomo (the drama queen) Vigna against Ezra Levant. The crime Ezra appears to have committed here was to dare to post a transcript of Vigna’s rather pathetic performance in a human rights hearing and to make fun of it. For those not familiar with the transcript, I will paste the highlights below.
MR. VIGNA: Sorry. Mr. Chair, I don’t have the flu but I don’t feel in a serene state of mind to proceed with the file today. I don’t feel very well. I feel dizzy, I feel anxiety, and I am not in a serene state of mind to proceed with this file today.
I have a lot of things worrying me right now and I don’t want to elaborate, but my colleague said, Mr. Fine, there are some certain incidents that have occurred which I don’t feel at liberty to elaborate right now, which have had an impact on my ability to proceed in a professional way on this file, at least for today, because I wouldn’t be rendering the Commission a just service by proceeding in this condition.
I am not dying, Mr. Chair, I don’t have the flu, but I am not mentally capable of proceeding under these circumstances.
THE CHAIRPERSON: But the witness is here?
MR. VIGNA: The witness is here. It’s not the question of the witness. The witness is here. I thought until this morning that I would proceed, but I really don’t feel primarily mentally able to proceed, and physically too.
MS. KULASZKA: I am very concerned about this very hush hush allegation that some sort of breach of security has happened. The only people who have been here for the last two days are us, either counsel or a representative of the party. No one else has been here in this room. I know of no incident outside that’s happened….
MR. CHRISTIE: I have heard two explanations which are as frivolous as any I have ever heard in justifying an adjournment of a whole proceeding… To say I am not feeling well, but sit here and talk about it, is inconsistent. There is no medical certificate, and I heard very faintly Mr. Vigna say I’m not physically sick, I don’t have a serene state of mind. Very few of us in the difficulties we face always have a serene state of mind. I don’t know what that means.
This is not a case of a nervous breakdown or a mental state justifying a psychiatric examination. I am certain of that. To say I don’t feel like doing it today is insulting…
MR. VIGNA: Mr. Chair, I will provide a medical certificate.
THE CHAIRPERSON: Please sit down, Mr. Vigna.
MR. VIGNA: I feel insulted by that comment.
THE CHAIRPERSON: Please sit down.
The defendant in this case had to spend the time and money to be at this hearing and pay for his lawyer to fly there. What was the result? Vigna puts on his little dramatic performance claiming not to be “serene” enough to proceed and has the hearing deferred.
How can one not mock Mr. Vigna’s performance? Even 6 year olds trying to get out of school are more creative in their excuses for non-attendance (and often much more convincing). Mark Steyn posted a great little musical suggestion on the issue.
Vigna’s little dark comedy in the hearing is public record. There is no reason that this cannot be posted on other sites. What Mr. Vigna is suing for is that he was made fun of and his feelings are hurt. Nothing untrue was posted by Mr. Levant. If there was damage to Vigna’s character in any of this, it is directly due to the little swooning tantrum that Vigna had in the hearing. Perhaps Mr. Vigna should choose less public venues when he decides to put on such performances.
Warren Kinsella has gone after freedominion and the chronic opponent of free speech Richard Warman has already jumped on Ezra in the lawsuit frenzy, I guess we may as well have every other hypersensitive weenie who has been to a human rights hearing jump on.
Lets get this straight people. There is no right not to have your feelings hurt nor is there a right not to be offended! Get over it.
Life can be tough. We hear people say things that offend us at times. People say things that hurt our feelings. Living and dealing with hurt feelings is simply part of the price of free speech. Suck it up princesses.
We have freedom of religion. That is a vital and important right and it is constantly under attack as well.
In the mixture of freedom of religion and freedom of speech we often get what some may consider offensive clashes. Such is life.
One person who constantly exercises his right to free speech regarding religion is Pat Condell. This man has an incredible gift for humorously pointing out some of the rather glaring flaws in organized religion. Mr. Condell is quite fair in that I see no discrimination among the religions that he cuts into. He nails them all.
Doubtless many religious people will find Mr. Condell’s view on the world offensive. Should Condell be silenced for this? I am a dedicated Pastafarian in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Perhaps Pat will take an offensive run at my faith sometime. You can all rest assured that even if I took offense or my feelings were hurt, I would never for a second question Mr. Condell’s right to speak his mind.
If you are easily offended by shots at religion, may I suggest that you do not click on the video links below. If you have a sense of humour and like a no holds barred look at religions, I strongly suggest that you listen to a few of Mr. Condell’s rants.
Pat Condell covers our Canadian issues below.:
Here Mr. Condell covers faith in general.

This precious little baby has no idea about the world she was born into. No idea that her mom and dad have to struggle to make ends meet and provide for her brother and sisters. No idea that the place they live has no running water or electricity. I would argue that innocence is indeed bliss! The face of this little child screams peace and contentment while she sleeps. A trust that she knows nothing about yet has been placed in the hands of her creator and He Will Provide. I'm so glad that we built them a home last year with the help of our friends from Zion Lutheran Church in Handcock Michigan. Thanks Lonnie and Dave. She has a clean dry place to flourish and grow and the problems of her surroundings are far from her thoughts. Because, she was beautifully and wonderfully made and God has a plan for her life. We have been buying up all the bicycles we can find in Reynosa and plan on giving them out over the course of the next few days. We were issued a permit by the Mexican Govt. to bring all the toys and backpacks we have, to be given out this Saturday on the Day of The Child. It is also the day we give out food to all the families as well, Roy and Rebecka and their kids Jose', Jacob and Andrew will help us get it all done. We have literally thousands of toys, two hundred backpacks and we will also grill hot dogs, pop popcorn and give out juice boxes and raffle off the bikes.Calebs injury to His head on Easter, hasn't slowed him down a bit. There's a term in poker when placing a bet and it's called "ALL IN" and that means, your putting everything on the table and betting it all on what you THINK, is a winning hand. Well, Paula and I are ALL IN on the purchase of property we have been renting for four months now, waiting for our house to sell to pay for it. Some trust in the things of this world to carry them, but we're trusting in the LORD OUR GOD! We don't need no stinking 401k's we got Jesus!
We prayed before the men started digging a hand well in front of our house, that they would find clean water and that there would be no rocks to hinder the process. God answered both prayers and by the end of the day, we had stuck water. The men dug twenty two feet down with a hand auger and sections of pipe attached as they dug deeper. We finished the well off with 8 inch pipe and filter gravel and pumped out the muddy water, which blocked the electric pump, so we have to draw the water by hand until it clears up. Jesus met a women at a well and as a result, she received LIVING WATER that lasts for all eternity never to thirst again. We pray this temporal water will help the families around us to meet some washing needs. We have been traveling around Reynosa and Rio Bravo flea markets, buying up all the bikes we can find to meet a huge need for men needing them to go to find work and those that have jobs but have to walk great distances to get there. A generous donation from a family in La Harpe Illinois has made it possible to touch a lot of peoples lives with used bikes. There are several kids bikes as well and they will be given out on the 30th of April as we celebrate the Day of the Child. We also bought several fishing poles and tackle to give to those fishermen using Coke bottles and string to fish for thier daily food. The beans and rice in the warehouse are going fast as many Pastors from Mexico have heard about our ministry of giving food and clothes. We are praying about God providing more beans and rice to meet growing demands from the Pastors as well the needs we meet ourselves in the colonia. I figure when we give out all we have, God will fill the warehouse up again!!! THANKS FOR THE PRAYER AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT, WE ARE ALL PART OF WHAT GOD IS DOING HERE. | <urn:uuid:7b3d0467-cd77-4025-aace-52343570f477> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://hepburnsinmx.blogspot.com/2011/04/ | 2020-09-23T19:44:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.981325 | 823 |
Team Heyne enjoyed a site visit to Republic, East India Dock this week.
Republic will create 650,000 sqft of high-quality, low-cost workspace with a wide range of amenities and extensive public space. The masterplan will be realised in two phases. HTS completed phase I in early 2018.
The team visited phase I of the project, the award-winning Import Building, as well as the recently completed public realm where HTS were involved in creating platforms within an existing canal for outdoor seating and planting.
The site visit finished with phase II, The Export Building, which will also provide low cost workspace and will integrate an exposed CLT and Glulam frame into an existing RC structure. The new pavilion structure will be partially stabilised by a bay of glulam ‘K’ bracing and is designed to support a possible future three storey extension. | <urn:uuid:70379352-a439-41e1-8fa6-e38ab9f0d1f5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://heynetillettsteel.com/news/republic-site-visit/ | 2020-09-23T20:03:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.959688 | 182 |
Bhubaneswar: The Chief Monk of the Dhauli Peace Pagoda, Kazuo Yoda passed away at the Kobe Temple in Japan on Thursday morning following a brief illness.
He was 65. Yoda was the resident monk of the Dhauli Peace Pagoda for more than three decades.
Yoda had come to Bhubaneswar along with his Guru Fuji in 1971 when he was only 15-years-old. He has been living at the Dhauli Peace Pagoda since then and was a very popular and loved person. He was a reformist monk who was highly respected for being able to combine and balance Buddhist learning with meditation practices.
Dr Bimalendu Mohanty, president of the Mahabodhi Society of India recollected with fond memories the charismatic Yoda.
“Yoda was one of the great Buddhist masters of meditation who lived a hermit-like life. He was determined to observe Buddhism in its pure State,” said Mohanty.
Historian Anil Dhir, a friend of Yoda, recalled his youthful zeal and innocence.
“He led a reclusive life at the Buddha Temple at the base of the Dhauli Hills, with his dogs for company. He was a popular person in the nearby areas. He had also set up a school. He will be greatly missed by his students and all those who are grateful for his teachings and his friendship,” said Dhir.
A memorial prayer meet was held at the Maha Bodhi Society of India’s Bhubaneswar Centre on Friday evening. It was attended by Dr Bimalendu Mohanty, Dr Sourendra Mohapatro, Dr Arya Jnanendra and Anil Dhir among others. | <urn:uuid:dc4de2d4-71e1-4ccf-b098-10936cab7022> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://odishanewstune.com/2019/12/14/chief-monk-of-dahuli-peace-pagoda-kazuo-yoda-passes-away-in-japan/ | 2020-09-23T20:04:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.987271 | 361 |
This article is a part of our September focus on Violence – you can access more content from this issue here
By Asher Hirsch
A refugee journey is often filled with violence. By definition, someone found to be a refugee has had to flee persecution – often some of the most horrid forms of torture, war, rape and death threats. However, the experiences of violence don’t end once a person reaches our supposedly safe shores. In fact, violence in the immigration process can sometimes be worse than the situations they are fleeing.
In the paragraphs below are some real examples of the horrific violence that occurs in Australian-run detention centres. I do not detail these incidences for the sake of being provocative, but rather in an attempt to educate the broader community of the horrors we, the Australian people, are complicit in. Billions of our taxes have gone directly towards creating these centres that systematically create an atmosphere of violence.
Much of this money goes to private security contractors Serco and G4S – $1.86 billion and $80 million respectively. Many have questioned the increasing privatisation of detention centres, in which private contractors are more concerned with profits than humane treatment of detainees. Such contracts allow for untrained guards and no auditing requirements.
At the time of writing, there are currently 8,521 asylum seekers in detention centres around Australia, including 1,731 children. In addition, there are 545 asylum seekers in Nauru, with a new group of 14 adults and 12 children recently detained there. There are also around 800 people in Manus Island, Papua New Guinea, including families and children, with transfers occurring regularly.
Asylum seekers – those waiting for refugee recognition – are held indetention centres around Australia, as well as new offshore facilities in Nauru and Papua New Guinea reopened under the Pacific Solution Mark II. In addition, new asylum seekers who arrive by boat will be detained in PNG and denied resettlement in Australia.
These people have committed no crime – under international law it is not illegal to seek asylum – yet they remain locked up indefinitely and subject to the “no-advantage” principle.
Heavy-handed responses by security guards are common in detention centres. A 400-page training manual by security company Serco details a range of restraint techniques to use against detainees, including “straight punches, palm heel strikes, side angle kicks, front thrust kicks and knee strikes” as well as “pressure point” restraints.
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) has also approved the use of a body lock that “involves pushing a person’s head towards their knees while in a seated position, and is designed to subdue a struggling or protesting detainee.” Such a restraint is banned by police in Victoria and NSW and was responsible for the death of a 15 year old in a UK juvenile detention centre.
Security personnel have also been reported to use tranquilisers on detainees, against the DIAC’s claim that that sedatives are never used in detention.
Over the last months there have been a number of whistle-blowers coming forward with reports of abuse and violence in offshore detention centres.
Former G4S officer Rod St George recently revealed to SBS’s Dateline details of disturbing abuses against detainees in the Manus Island detention centre. St George describes an almost daily occurrence of rape and sexual abuse in the detention centre, while security guards, fully aware of the incidents either ignore them or cover them up. Such conditions are described by St George as worse than a dog kennel.
Another unnamed whistle-blower also describes incidences of gang rape and abuse, as well a heavy-handed response by G4S security where an Alpha Response Team with helmets, shields and body armour were called in to quell a protest against ineffective medical treatment.
In a recent riot in Nauru, protesters set fire to buildings in a desperate expression of frustration and anger about their current situation. As Mark Isaacs, former Recreations Manager for the Salvation Army in Nauru explains, frustration arose because of the indefinite and arbitrary detention subjected by the “no advantage policy”:
The men are being punished for apparently “jumping a queue”, or coming here by “illegal” means. And yet several months into their incarceration, people who arrived in Australian waters on the same boats, or after the men held in Nauru, were released into communities in Australia. The men in Nauru saw photos of friends by the Sydney Opera House while they were stuck in Nauru. The men were told by the Department of Immigration that they would be held in Nauru for at least five years. Not one man had left Nauru while I was there due to refugee processing. Only medical emergencies. There is no progress in Nauru. It is a time warp.
After the riot, he and a number of other Salvation Army workers published a press release detailing the incident and how it was an inevitable outcome of a cruel and degrading policy:
We call it the “Cycle of Violence”. A build up of tension and injustices over weeks which eventually erupts. It happened on several occasions while I worked there. You could feel the atmosphere grow more and more oppressive. The riots usually started over insignificant, trivial issues that were symbolic of greater frustrations. There were men who had been angry for a very long time, angry at their treatment. I think these men took the opportunity presented by the mass protest and used it to create a situation much worse than most of the men in the camp would ever have wanted.
There are also claims that asylum seekers were violently beaten by up to 1000 local Nauruan men carrying machetes and steel pipes, as the Nauruan police called in locals for assistance during the riot. However, none of these local men have been charged, while 130 asylum seekers are currently charged with rioting and unlawful assembly. Mark also notes incidents of alleged inhumane treatment whilst in Nauru prisons:
There were allegations of mistreatment whilst in prison. Not being offered food. Physical violence. Awful conditions.
Mark also recalls many incidents of self-harm on Nauru:
I witnessed numerous situations of self-harm. Cigarette burns on limbs and torsos. Wrist cutting. Lip-sewing using blunt paper clips. Using razors to cut scalps open. Bashing heads against walls. Bashing computers against heads. Hangings.
Self-harm is often the last form of protest left to those who have been deprived of everything else.
Self-harm and suicide attempts are very common in detention centres, and a recent inquiry by the Commonwealth and Immigration Ombudsman shows a clear relationship between long-term detention and self harm, with incidents of self-harm peaking in 2011 before the introduction of community detention programs.
Self-harm is often the last form of protest left to those who have been deprived of everything else.
A new project called Detention Logs has collated a massive number of incidents in detention centres through freedom of information requests.
The data shows that between October 2009 and May 2011, there have been 7,632 incidents in detention centres across Australia. According to the Guardian, “These included 921 incidents of self-harm (both threatened and actual), 850 incidents of voluntary starvation (both for less than and more than 24 hours) and 877 serious accidents and injuries.”
The Guardian and The Global Mail have collated this data into very useful graphs and incident reports. Together they give an alarming insight into self-harm, violence and abuse in detention centres. Horrific incidences include detainees ingesting washing powder, voluntary starvation, overdosing on pain medication, hanging attempts by microphone cords and sheets, people jumping off balconies and the use of medical restraints by staff.
The Global Mail allows the community to adopt an incident by requesting further information from the Department through freedom of information requests. However, the Department has recently been denying such requests made by the public.
Despite a pledge by the Government that no children will be held in detention, there are currently 1731 in detention around Australia.
There are also alarming figures of self-harm and suicide attempts by children. An extensive inquiry in 2004 by the Australian Human Right Commission details numerous cases of self-harm among children in detention centres.
One particular case of many involves a 14-year-old boy detained in the notorious Woomera detention centre. After a number of suicide attempts and self-harm, the boy said to the officers “you either kill me, I kill myself, or give me a VISA”. However, the boy remained in detention for another year and a half, while incidences of self-harm and suicide attempts continued. Unfortunately, things have not changed since 2004, and despite a pledge by the Government that no children will be held in detention, there are currently 1731 in detention around Australia.
The situation in detention centres is so damaging to mental health that a group of Australian psychiatrists has identified a new mental illness known as “asylum seeker syndrome“. Numerous reports and studies have proved over and over that prolonged detention causes irreversible mental health issues.
There are also rumours, whether true or not, that those who follow through in self-harm get better treatment, such as their case being assessed earlier or even being released into community detention. When there is no explanation or timeline given for delays in the refugee status process, even the whisper of such rumours may create an incentive to self-harm. Such a culture of self-harm in detention centres shows the Australian Government’s complicity through their failure to offer and implement alternative solutions to detention.
Violence against asylum seekers and refugees isn’t only restricted to far away places outside of the public eye. Violence also occurs against those who are released into the community on “community detention” programs. At least 20 violent attacks have been committed by members of the public against asylum seekers in the community this year, including a pram set on fire, men bashed with iron poles and incidents of stabbings.
Such violence against asylum seekers compels us to ask: are the Australian people complicit in these acts? Whether it is through our taxes paying for abusive guards and inhumane conditions, our cruel and degrading policies, or whether it is through our culture of racism and vilification that is too often left unchecked, we are involved in these acts of violence.
We should take a step back and have a look at what we are doing to asylum seekers and refugees in this country. If we reserve the cruellest treatment for some of the world’s most vulnerable people who are under our care, then what does that say about us?

Knauf AQUAPROFIL are produced from steel raw materials with a coating comprising aluminum, zinc and silica. The coating is performed by hot immersion, in continuous flow. The main characteristic of this the treatment is the excellent corrosion resistance. The Knauf AQUAPROFIL can be used in any drywall construction. However, their use is highly recommended for external walls with Aquapanel cement board, bathrooms, saunas, steam room, Jacuzzi, kitchen, dressing room, indoor swimming pools and any other place with high moisture stress. Generally, not every type of steel processing, provides adequate protection from exposure to alkaline environment. Therefore, when lining with Aquapanel, due to the alkalinity of the cement, the use of breathable membrane Aquapanel tyvek House Wrap , between the frame and the the cementboard, is recommended, in order to avoid direct contact of the two materials. | <urn:uuid:f3cb76de-6acb-4adc-b5e7-ff5c246e1ba1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://altocy.com/materials/exterior-building-constructions/metal-profile/ | 2020-09-23T18:23:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.918224 | 191 |

We live in a society of contradictions. That’s the easiest and probably the most honest way I can begin an article about the suicide of a public figure. Our natural instinct is to look for clear cut and irrefutable answers to questions, and consistent opinions to hold, but the world is often much more complicated than that.
Caroline Flack’s death was met with shock and mourning from all corners. People in newspaper columns, on the television and on the radio were queuing up to give obituaries of a beautiful character taken way before her time. Then, before the ink was dry on those stories, the inquest began. Fingers were first pointed at Love Island, the ITV reality show that Flack presented, with which there had been three associated suicides. The argument was that if Jeremy Kyle, who for a long time had a show on the same channel, was taken off the air after one associated suicide, Love Island was on borrowed time.
However, the point was rightly made that the intense media pressure on Flack’s life had not come as a result of her actions on Love Island, especially given that she was a presenter and not a contestant. Flack had been charged with assault of her ex-boyfriends, who had described in graphic detail some of the vile things that she had apparently done to him.
Domestic abuse is a vile and serious crime
This is where the back and forth of moral judgment begins around this story. As sad as the death of someone is, whitewashing the abuse and the hurt they caused is not right. Flack was due to be trialed for serious crimes with a weight of evidence against her, and thus was not the angel that some have been trying to paint her as, and it is grossly indecent to her (alleged) victims to do that.
The phrase “people make mistakes” was banded around a bit yesterday, too. Forgetting to turn the lights off when you leave the house is a mistake. Domestic abuse is a vile act and a serious crime. Whatever you may have thought of Caroline Flack otherwise, if there’s any truth to the allegations you must treat them as seriously as they deserve to be treated.
Despite this, Flack’s actions did not warrant the media’s reaction. Unless you support the death penalty for assault (and I don’t), you must agree that the media driving someone to suicide over it is disgusting and disproportional. And it was the media that made this happen; the same media fawning over the loss of a “loving character” and printing the numbers to suicide hotlines in this morning’s issues were relentlessly badgering Caroline Flack over the last couple of months.
We must be more considerate than we are now
Story after story after story, most probably reporters on doorsteps and cameramen at every turn in her life. What little privacy she would have had as a public figure will have evaporated. In the modern world, too, there is no escaping it. Sure, print media and television have been around for a long time at this point, but you could in the past not buy a newspaper or leave the television off. With social media now prevalent, there is no easy escape like there used to be.
Don’t get me wrong, I am a strong advocate for social media and I’m not about to go on a “we live in a society” rant about how the world was better before the iPhone was invented, but with the world at our fingertips these days we must be more considerate than we are now. We are geared towards seeking out other people’s dirty laundry, and I can’t really blame anyone for wanting to read an invasive gossip story if the headline is tweeted in capital letters. We do however owe each other a modicum of consideration, to ask ourselves “is it really any of my business?” before reading, sharing, or responding to one of these types of articles.
The media, too, ought to be more considerate. Churning out “gossip” and relentlessly going after one celebrity or another might sell papers and harvest clicks, but is it the right thing to do? No. Regulating the press isn’t the sort of route I would want to go down given the freedom-of-speech-based repercussions, but the media must learn to check itself. Moreover, if people stop consuming the type of celebrity-gossip “news” that came about via an effective media stalking of one person and did her such damage that she took her own life, then they will stop creating it.
In short, Caroline Flack was neither the angel some would paint her as, nor deserving of the awful treatment she got from the media. | <urn:uuid:2a97e634-0ff0-47d9-8e1c-0825296104d9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://cypriumnews.com/2020/02/17/hwit-caroline-flack/ | 2020-09-23T18:26:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.978785 | 998 |

Buying a tree poses a risk and we can not guarantee a return. What we can guarantee is that we are doing everything in our power going forward to keep all our promises and agreements, in the same way that we’ve kept them since the start in 2006 until today. We are actively monitoring, minimizing and eliminating the various risks.
When you as a customer buy our trees, you are taking a risk. You risk losing a portion of, or the entirety of, the money you paid for your trees. This is also not a liquid purchase, since it is locked in for a period of 20 years. There are different types of risks involved. The risks that we see, within these different categories, are as follows:
Risks associated with forestry
These risks include everything that has to do with our plantations and our production. It can be drought, damage due to insects or fires on the plantations. These risks are the ones that cause us the least worry, since they to a large extent can be minimized and eliminated. You can also read about how we work with many of these risks in our FAQ. These risks concern all forest companies and are part of the regular business management.
Managing risks associated with doing business in Africa
Doing business in Africa is, of course, associated with higher risks than if we, for example, had conducted operations in Scandinavia. However, the trees we plant do not grow in Scandinavia. We are currently managing our operations in Kenya and Uganda, some of the most stable democracies in Africa.
We have extensive experience of doing business in these countries and we would not do it unless we considered the risk manageable. The way foreign media portrays some situations do not always match the experience we have here on location.
Risks associated with our business
As a potential customer, you naturally need to make your own assessment of how you evaluate the risk of working with us as a company and supplier. We believe that trust is everything in business and we are therefore very keen to keep all our promises. To date, we have paid out all the returns that our customers have been entitled to, and we have delivered on our promises, even though it has not always been plain sailing.
All our trials and successes have brought us to a place where we now feel more stable and secure than ever before. We have delivered amazing results and demonstrated that our business model works, that it brings benefits to the community and that it is commercially viable.
Important to know
There are other risks, however, that can affect your trees. In short, we can give the general recommendations that most companies provide:
- You are not guaranteed any money.
- In the worst-case scenario, you can lose all the money you used to buy trees.
- You should not buy trees for money you cannot afford to lose, and you should not “put all your eggs in one basket”.
- The best thing you can do is to buy trees regularly and over a longer period of time. In this way, you will get to know us, the trees and our business.
- The money used for buying trees is locked in after the initial trial period of 14 days. After that, buybacks and returns follow the agreement between you and Better Globe.
- Some of our customers compare us to an alternative, unregulated and unlisted investment with high risk and limited transparency.
- To make a comparison, the risk is higher than with stocks, for example.
We also recommend that you read our FAQ, where many of the most frequently asked questions are answered.

The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) and the Public School Construction Program (PSCP) have partnered in a Net Zero School Initiative to construct three new net zero energy schools in Maryland. Through the 2012 merger of Constellation Energy, the parent company of Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE), and Exelon Corporation, a Customer Investment Fund (CIF) was established to provide financial resources for long term energy efficiency and conservation goals. The Maryland Public Service Commission, the State of Maryland's utility regulator, has approved the use of $9 million of CIF funding to create a program to enable the design and construction of three net zero energy public schools within the BGE service territory.
Schools were selected based on factors like the school district’s interest in the Net Zero Energy Schools Program, the proposed construction timeline, the location of the proposed school site, and the likelihood of the school achieving net zero energy status. All of the school sites had to be located within the BGE service territory.
All funds have been awarded and no new applications are being accepted for the net zero energy school program.
School districts selected to participate in the program will receive the following benefits:
The new Wilde Lake Middle School in Howard County has been fully constructed and after more than a year of operation, has been verified to have achieved net zero energy status. More information about the project can be found at https://www.hcpss.org/school-planning/construction/wilde-lake-ms/.
Two new schools in Baltimore City, Graceland Park/O’Donnell Heights Elementary/Middle School and Holabird Elementary/Middle School, are in the process of being constructed as net zero schools. More information can be found at http://planning.baltimorecity.gov/sites/default/files/UDARP%20Presentation%20-%20Holabird%20%2B%20Graceland%20032416.pdf.

Cool Entertaining Finds !!!
Happy Tuesday everyone, it’s that time of the year again when the holidays sneak up on us before we are ready! :) I did some home entertaining shopping to see what I could find that would be perfect for this up coming holiday season and here it is what I found. I tried to show you a wide variety of very nice options, some are a bit pricey but when it comes to entertaining for the holiday’s it’s great to have a few nice pieces to last for years to come!
I hope this post helps to show you some great ideas for your home and cuts down on your shopping time. :) | <urn:uuid:03aa48c0-3bed-478e-97e3-ef6b84bc2d70> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://flavorfinds.com/cool-entertaining-finds/ | 2020-09-23T20:14:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.960651 | 137 |
Most of us, given the chance, want to leave a lasting reminder of the gratitude we feel for the institutions we love and support. It is a privilege to make a difference – to show, in some way, that we have contributed to important work or played a part in a cause that benefits society, perhaps for generations to come.
There are many planned gift opportunities available. As you consider ways to support our mission, let us help you find rewarding planning strategies with unique combinations of tax savings and personal satisfaction.
Estate planning is personal. Putting arrangements in place; selecting property; weighing the advantages and disadvantages inherent in individual inheritances, gifts, taxation and philanthropy – all influence your estate plan.
Many of our supporters choose to make gifts in their wills. The advantages are undeniable. These gifts are simple, straightforward, and familiar. They are flexible in amount, form, and type of property. In addition, with a gift through your will, you retain full use of all property throughout your life, and you have the right to revoke or modify your gift if you choose. All bequests – large or small – can have a significant impact on our programs and our students. There is no disruption of your lifestyle and there are no immediate out-of-pocket costs.
Wherever you are on the retirement spectrum, there is one compatible gift planning idea that is worth considering. A charitable gift annuity can help you shelter and arrange savings for retirement, manage income during retirement, and provide welcomed support for our mission.
For decades, families have used charitable remainder trusts to:
The most straightforward way to donate retirement plan assets is to designate us as a beneficiary. To do this, you need to contact the plan administrator, who will guide you through the process (we are happy to assist, as well). You have considerable flexibility when you designate us as a beneficiary. For example, you can specify an amount or percentage that we will receive, leaving the rest to other beneficiaries. Another option is to have your retirement plan assets transferred at death to a charitable remainder trust.
Retirement planning is a process. Whatever your age or stage in life, it’s never too late to get started, and it’s never too early to think about the role philanthropy could play in your planning. This brochure explores some of the planning options available to everybody – from the recently retired, to executives and professionals nearing the end of their careers, to happily retired singles and couples well into their golden years.
Many people own long-term, highly appreciated real estate they no longer use or no longer want to manage. In many cases, owners are looking for tax-efficient ways to pass the property on or convert it into an income stream. If you are one of these fortunate property owners, you may want to consider how philanthropy can unlock earning potential, create tax savings, and make an important difference to our work.
There are many ways to make revocable gifts, including gifts in your will, beneficiary designations of life insurance or retirements assets, and revocable living trusts.
Appreciated stock, held for more than one year, can be the ideal choice for individuals who want their charitable gifts to make the biggest impact for the lowest possible cost. The secret ingredient: double tax benefits.
Deferring taxes, reducing taxes, avoiding taxes – all can play a role in your year-end strategy. Knowing your planning and giving options helps you shape a meaningful charitable legacy while providing important benefits to you and your loved ones. Please contact us for more information about personally satisfying ways to meet charitable goals and help us make a difference.

WKRQ • Q102 | Jeff & Jenn Morning Show | 5:30am–10am Monday–Friday
The dynamic duo Jeff and Jenn joined the Q102 family in 2002. Jeff Thomas is a laid-back guy who knew he wanted to be on the radio ever since he was old enough to talk.
Through Q102, Jeff has had an opportunity to be a part of a number of unique events, including 513 Day! On May 13, 2016, the Q102 crew spent 12 straight hours celebrating the city of Cincinnati by taking requests and playing all kinds of fun music.
As a Q102 DJ, Jeff also enjoys giving back to the community. One of his favorite events is the annual Bosom Ball for Breast Cancer. “Celebrating the survivors and honoring those we’ve lost—it’s always so moving,” says Jeff.
“Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” by Green Day best describes Jeff’s life at the moment. Jeff explains, “I don’t have many regrets about life and the way I live because everything happens for a reason. Memories are formed the best when you aren’t trying to find them. You can’t control everything in your life, but that’s what makes life so much fun.”
When Jeff isn’t on air, he enjoys dining out with friends, watching movies and traveling.
Jeff in the Kitchen
Anyone that knows Jeff knows that food is near and dear to his heart. During the COVID-19 lockdown, Jeff takes us into his own kitchen in the Q102 Quarantine Kitchen series, where he shows us how to make roasted garlic.

My parents moved from the South Asian subcontinent to the North American continent in the mid-1960s, never to again celebrate Diwali in the country of their birth. But over the past 50 + years, they’ve never failed to light diyas, do pujas, enjoy mithais, and convey Shubh Diwali to their loved ones.
This is how Mom and Papa conveyed their sense of Diwali to me: As detailed in the Ramayana, one of India’s two magnificent epics, a royal couple – Prince Rama and Princess Sita – are banished from their homeland, Ayodhya. With Rama’s brother, Lakshmana, they spend 14 years in exile during which Sita was kidnapped by Lanka’s demon king, Ravana. The arc of the story is how the brothers, supported by well-wishing devotees such as the monkey God, Hanuman, rescue Sita and return home to Ayodhya. The jubilant citizens of their homeland excitedly welcome Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana by lighting diya oil-lamps on the night of the new moon, Amavashya. Sweets and gifts are distributed as Ayodhya celebrates with firework and dance. This is the delightful, somewhat facile story of good triumphant over evil. There are alternative narratives, including those which privilege Sita’s perspective, Lakshmana’s role, and Hanuman’s point of view; there is even a reading which is sympathetic to Ravana’s plight. Also quite interesting is how other goddesses and gods make their way into the celebration. As the victory of good over evil is said to bring prosperity, the Goddess of Wealth, Lakshmi, is worshipped. And with King Rama rightfully back on his throne, Lord Ganesha represents a new start for Ayodhya. But for the diasporic traveler that I am, the story of Diwali is ultimately about desh and pardesh – home and away – and how we reconcile the two.
Bombay Baby and Calcutta Maybe
Although my parents had a comfortable life in Bombay (not yet called Mumbai by English newspapers), Papa left for Ontario, Canada in early 1965 as a scout of sorts, to get a lay of the snowy-white new land that would pave the path to more prosperity. Mom stayed back in Mulund, Bombay with her four children, awaiting the green light to move the family across the kala pani, the dark waters that her father insisted would result in familial fracture. While that feared fracture never quite happened, India and Pakistan fought yet another of the subcontinent’s internecine wars which ended days before Diwali, 1965. With our parents separated by an ocean, my brothers, sister, and I tried to make sense of our changing world: windows of our apartment flat in Mulund were darkened with brown paper to ensure that Pakistani fighter planes could not see the light inside our home; my elder brother, who was then not yet ten years old, had to fight his way home from school one day when all the trains and buses stopped, causing great worry for Mom; and my five-year-old self fought with inner demons at night as I would sleepwalk throughout our 3rd-floor flat looking out of our balcony for my absent father.
I imagine that Papa and Mom telepathically communicated all these troubles along with their more hopeful visions in the way of young people in love separated by long distances. While it seems inconceivable to me that Papa sent any poems to Mom during festive nights away from home and family, perhaps we can do a bit of revisionist history and dream that he sent a few lines from Vikram Seth’s “Diwali” (1981):
Home. These walls, this sky
Splintered with wakes of light
These mud-lamps beaded round
The eaves, this festive night,
These streets, these voices…yet
The old insensate dread,
Abeyant as that love,
Once more shifts in my head.
After the war was over, on the eastern side of India that makes the shape of its map look like a woman holding a sari aloft on her outstretched arm, there was a girl about my age who was celebrating Dhanteras, the first day of Diwali. While the rest of her family members in diya-lit Calcutta had their eyes closed during the Lakshmi puja, praying to the Goddess of Wealth, this bold lass saw her mother’s jewelry on a silver tray and quietly hid the jewels so as to protect them from anyone who might not be a well-wisher for the family’s prosperity. But as open as that girl’s watchful eyes were, they could not have been as open as my own eyes when Mom prepared me for our flight to Canada.
Our stay in Chatham, Ontario was a makeshift one, with the only other South Asian family in our town being the Hasnains from Pakistan. In those early years there were no Indian grocery stores close to home, though there was an uncle who owned a French-Indian restaurant in a nearby city. My memories of Diwali celebrations in Chatham are blurred by the struggles of my parents making their way in the world. Both would work multiple jobs including picking tomatoes as farm hands, Mom sewing clothes as a tailor, and during an economic downturn Papa, trained to be a procurement manager, was laid off from a multinational firm and took on odd jobs as a security guard and then as an orderly at a mental hospital. All I can really remember about India was the pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal and blue aerogrammes to and from family back home in Rajasthan.
For those of you not old enough to know about aerogrammes, kindly follow these instructions:\
- Find a thin, lightweight piece of blue paper approximately the size of 8 ½” x 11” printer paper.
- Fold into three sections as if you were enclosing it in an envelope (if you are too young to know what an envelope is, please proceed to the Silicon Valley part of this article).
- The top fold is for parents to pay respect to elders in India, write that “all izz well” in Canada, and for special holidays wish everyone “Happy Diwali,” “Happy Holi,” or “Happy Raksha Bandhan.” Just keep things joyous, suggesting that Goddess Lakshmi is smiling upon us in this land of milk and honey. Hidden from family in India are the hardships, the hard facts of our cold Canadian Diwali; no time with an uncle who was too busy with his restaurant, no agarbati to fill our home with sandalwood incense, no exploding firecrackers to let neighbors know about “our Christmas,” no flickering diyas to guide Lakshmi to our home, no shining new jewelry or dhan except the maple-leaf pennies that my parents earned; all we had were the six of us performing the puja around a silver coin of Lakshmi safeguarded from India, our foreheads dotted with kumkum powder carried in Mom’s suitcase as a vermilion reminder of our ancestry, and our mouths sweetened with saffron-less rice pudding pretending to be kheer with wrinkled black raisins substituted for plump golden ones.
- The middle fold is for more serious matters: replying to previous requests to send more money; sharing news about children’s educational accomplishments; and deferring the visit home to Rajasthan with a “we will soon return when we have accrued enough vacation” (while never disclosing that Goddess Lakshmi’s smile has been a bit pinched, and we don’t have funds for tickets to fly back to India; the illustration of an airplane on the front of the aerogramme is as close as we’ll come to a flying machine for almost a decade).
- And squeezed into the bottom fold on the inside of the aerogramme is space for the elder two siblings to write their pranams; inevitably the respectful salutations bow down to the end of the page and climb over to the other side where the younger two siblings (my younger brother and myself) write in larger font to grandparents, uncles, and aunts whose fully-fleshed memories slip away into two-dimensional black and white photos.
- Lastly, the address section on the front has Papa’s confident upper case hand-written memory of his or Mom’s village homes, before the gummy edges of the paper are moistened with parental saliva, pressed together, and the aerogramme is dropped in a mailbox.
After Papa was laid off from his job, he explored an opportunity in Chicago. In the same year that Apollo 11 made like a powerful Diwali firecracker and rocketed the first men to the moon, our family made like Diwali phuljharis and sparkled our way to the United States. While the Windy City was as cold as Ontario, its Midwestern heart felt so much warmer. Cosmopolitan Chicago had universities with graduate students from India, had a group of Gujarati friends that reminded Papa of Pravin Parikh, his best friend in Bombay, had a Patel Brothers grocery store to cater to the growing Indian population, and even had a Hindu temple.
In Chicago, Mom found other women who wore saris everyday, just as she had in Canada and would continue to do for decades in the United States. But these were not Indian women whose jet-black hair flowed down to their waists over the saree’s pallu. They were fair-haired wannabe gopis of the ISKCON movement. But no matter, my parents had a temple, albeit a temple shared with former hippies chanting “Hare Krishna, Hare Rama.” And we had a place to go on Diwali, before returning home to feast with newfound friends and dance in dandia circles.
Just as Papa and Mom built an Indian community that enabled them to recreate a semblance of what they had left behind, their children turned toward another community, playing baseball with our American friends and singing rock-and-roll songs that our parents did not appreciate. Filial piety demanded that we attend family pujas, but while Mom and Papa celebrated Diwali with their friends, we rolled our eyes during prayers and began to surreptitiously make fun of our parents’ friends’ funny clothes and oily hair, and, out of adult earshot, mimicking the thick Gujarati accents in a way that presaged Hank Azaria’s diminishing Apu character on The Simpsons by a couple of decades. We were becoming defiantly Americans while steadfastly remaining loyal to, and protective of, our parents’ core values.
As the years went by, it appeared that Yankee defiance might win out: Blue jeans left no space in our closets for kurtas and pyjamas; Hollywood pushed Bollywood into the distant background; and for a while it seemed that television families like “The Brady Bunch” were the norm that we aspired to. The so-called “boob tube” delivered cultural context and our Americanized tongues became more comfortable saying “Happy Thanksgiving” rather than “Shubh Diwali.” While my parents did not overtly show anxiety around cultural loss, it must have seemed to them that their Diwali diyas could not hold a candle to Nat King Cole’s Christmas lights accompanied by chestnuts roasting on an open fire; while the former was easily extinguished, the latter illuminated much more of our Midwestern zeitgeist. It was as if Vikram Seth’s poem about Diwali was describing the cultural conflict between my birthright and the ascendant West’s claim on my impressionable teenage years.
Macaulay the prophet of learning
Chewed at his pen: one taste
Of Western wisdom “surpasses
All the books of the East,”
And Kalidas, Shankaracharya,
Panini, Bhaskar, Kabir,
Surdas sank, and we welcomed
The reign of Shakespeare.
College was a turning point. The summer before my freshman year, our family returned to Rajasthan to celebrate the weddings of my two older siblings. I returned to the U.S. with a commitment to learn about India, to be more of an Indian, to never remove my janoi, the sacred thread with which I had been invested days before my elder brother’s wedding. At college, only the Indian graduate students seemed to know anything about our shared heritage. There were three other undergraduate Indians in my freshman class, and all of them were on the right side of the Indian-American hyphen. It was only through coursework in Indian history, political science, art, religion, and anthropology that I found my way back to my own Indian identity. And then there was Satayjit Ray’s Apu Trilogy that clinched the deal with its masterful cinematic verisimilitude. On my road to self-discovery, I discovered Pather Panchali, the Song of the Little Road. I fell in love with village India and with the Bengali aesthetic. I saw Diwali through Apu’s eyes in Aparajito (The Unvanquished), the second of these three classic films. I found a way to vanquish my years of exile from India.
Upon graduation from college, I returned to India for my own wedding. I married Mangla, that not-quite Bengali girl who in the mid-1960s had safeguarded her mother’s jewelry on Dhanteras. Through the years, my wife has taught me more about Diwali then all the professors, books, films, and years that preceded her. Like so many mothers before her, Mangla has safeguarded much more than shiny baubles. She has kept alive the traditions of our ancestors and passed them along to our children and their spouses like a treasure that can be held only in one’s heart.
It is true that we no longer wait twelve days for our Diwali letters to cross the ocean and do the postal handshake/namaskar. Yes, we’ve been blessed by Silicon Valley innovations like email, Skype, and WhatsApp that enable us to have our Diasporic Diwali dreams delivered to us in an instant. And for those of us who are old-school, we now even have a Diwali stamp should we be inspired to send our loved ones Diwali greetings that consist of more than ephemeral bits and bytes.
Of course, the number of Indians in North America has gone up exponentially through the years. Unlike my parents and the Hasnain family of 1960s Chatham, Mangla and I have nearly a dozen Indian families living within walking distance from our Palo Alto home, each celebrating their own vision (and each other’s version) of Diwali/Deepavali; North India, South India, East India, and West India all centered around our California abode. Despite our neighborly friendships, our past has its hold on us and we hold on to vestiges of ancestral tribalism with our RANAs (Rajasthan Association of North America), GCANAs (Gujarati Cultural Association of North America), TANAs (Telegu Association of North America), CABs (Cultural Association of Bengal), and more.
To be sure, there have been some clunker Diwali celebrations like the RANA function in the early 1990s when I read aloud every word of Vikram Seth’s “Diwali” poem, leading almost the entire audience to head for the food before it was ready (I think Mangla was the only one who listened to me! ) But we’ve come a long way, crossing the bridge between here and there. Here might be Morgan Hill, and there might be Mt. Abu. Perhaps here is modernity, and there is tradition. And courtesy of our multiple and virtual Silicon Valleys that are anywhere, here and there could be everywhere, facilitating the building of our own Rama setus, our own bridges to (re)discover the loves of our lives. And we merely need a diya to light the sky, to show us the way back home to make peace with our disquieted heart.
It holds me-till the strain
Of exile, here or there,
Subverts the trance, the fear
Of fear found everywhere.
“But freedom?” the notes would sing…
Parole is enough. Tonight
Below the fire-crossed sky
Of the Festival of Light.
Give your soul leave to feel
What distilled peace it can;
In lieu of joy, at least
This lapsing anodyne.
“The world is a bridge. Pass over it,
Building no house upon it.”
Acceptance may come with time;
Rest, then disquieted heart.

Hope you guys had a great Black Friday! Was almost unable to finish the chapter by today but I squeezed it out somehow.
Anyways enjoy this chapter ^^!
As an undead, it is a high ranking existence. Its strength completely dependent on the individual. But even their highest class is far from reaching the level of a superior dragon.
What I am trying to say is…
If he makes a pact with me, it would be the pact that is 10 times less than them, the “provisions pact” which will link us together.
Flatly saying, he would be absorbed and not even his existence would be left. I was reluctant, but Lich was also pretty pitiful. Because he was told off a lot by Tomoe and Mio.
Those girls got together and said that they didn’t want “me” to have an impurity mixed in within. To be called an impurity, I can’t even measure how he must be feeling.
Because he couldn’t even make it to slave relation with his own effort, I thought that the foundation in being my follower was impossible in itself.
I don’t know what Tomoe was saying about a test drum, but maybe she has come up with a good plan to break this deadlock.
“Mngh, as expected, just like this would be difficult huh…” (Tomoe)
“Even if we call him high-ranking, it doesn’t change the fact that he is an undead after all. The magic power that proves as his life source is also little after all” (Mio)
For even Mio to have looked down on his magic power, Lich must feel his shoulders narrow from that. He had gotten off his seat and prostrated. His biggest strong point was placed in the pile of generic. No surprise.
How to say it, I feel like I’m looking at the past world’s me. The elementary school time’s I will never be able to forget, the time when I was running at a marathon competition, how moved I felt and the reactions of the people around. Yeah, that really did hit me.
After Tomoe convinced (brainwashed maybe?) Lich.
We were right now in the middle of seeing if we are able to make a pact. Even if the person itself is willing, it doesn’t mean that the problem has been solved.
The place is still my room. It already passed quite a bit of time and it was now late in the night. It’s most likely the time where someone would be sleeping deeply. I was born in the amusement era so I am not that susceptible to drowsiness, but in this world, especially the races in this wasteland, their schedule is early sleep early rise.
Inside the magic formation for pacts was Lich and me.
In the time we began looking for a solution, Lich was exultant but… the appearance of him when he was looked down upon was so weak looking that it felt like he could be blown away. Tomoe and Mio also, they were trying to clearly put out the hierarchy to the point that it makes me wonder if they were actually bullying him.
Outside the formation, Tomoe and Mio were conversing without restraining their words at all.
“Waka, is it possible for Waka to weaken your strength yourself?” (Tomoe)
Hm. Is she referring to [Sakai]?
Weaken huh. There is no meaning to it, but I can do it.
Weaken the enemy, meaning, the time when I use it in a way that I give it an effect close to a debuff.
The effects I place on [Sakai] always affect me as well. Moreover, it only activates with me as the center. When I am aware, I am able to activate it in a spherical shape, but when I am not thinking anything and activate it, it ends up dome shaped. If I try to make it smaller, it ends up with only my body being wrapped.
I think that if I use something like fire or blizzard, I would end up killing myself. I haven’t tried it though. That’s why, I am obviously unable to say for sure.
At the time when I tried it with the orcs I didn’t do it, but right now I am able to do strengthen and healing effects. Also, these were discovered by chance.
If I don’t try out a few things in the near future in order to understand my power properly, I may end up digging my own grave. It is better to increase the number of things I can do. But I feel like if I think of the lasting effects, my range of things I can try would narrow.
“Yeah, I can do it. There was no point in it so I haven’t tried it before, but I can do it” (Makoto)
“Then, please do so. I will be doing the pact link once again so” (Tomoe)
Tomoe, with Mio’s assistance, pour energy into the magic formation once again.
In the space between Lich and me, a light pillar rises and changes colors. That ever changing light was dyed once more.
Light brown. A color I haven’t seen before. The color of Tomoe and Mio was red.
That was a ruling relationship, Tomoe said that that was just barely in the line. Then does that mean light brown is no good?
“Earth colored huh. It lowers until slavery. If he becomes a doll with no self-conscious it would be pointless to have this skeleton though” (Tomoe)
Slavery. If I remember correctly, it would destroy his self and leave the person as only a doll that follows orders. Certainly, we don’t need something like that.
“Tomoe-san, isn’t this impossible? If you want to make that thing a follower no matter what, wouldn’t it be faster to just try and train him?” (Mio)
What do you mean by try? Just what kind of training do you plan on doing? Also, don’t say “that thing”.
“Well Mio, don’t say that. I have a bit of a plan” (Tomoe)
Saying that, what she took out from her breast pocket was… that is?!
“Isn’t that Waka-sama’s ring?!” (Mio)
“Umu! Moreover, it is a product that has been properly tested out. Okay, Mio…” (Tomoe)
Right on the mark! It’s the ring that absorbs my magic power until its limits. Just how many does she have with her?
I don’t know what she means with the “moreover”.
It seems that the two of them are doing a secret talk by whispering in Mio’s ear.
Tomoe’s words made Mio have a surprised look in her face. But maybe it was because she consented, or because she understood, she nodded and the surroundings became a bit silent.
Mio also has a lot of skills in her repertoire right. To be able to understand by instinct, just how much of a genius she is.
When the earth colored light settled down and the pillar of light disappeared, Tomoe entered.
And then she slowly gave the ring to Lich.
“The inquiry about it will have to be for later-ja. Okay, put on all of the 13 I gave you” (Tomoe)
13 she says, what an ominous number that is.
“Put, this on? This one only has ten fingers though?” (Lich)
“I don’t care where you put them, as long as you put on those 3 somewhere there won’t be any problem. Now, hurry and do it already. It’s easier than jumping inside a world seam you know?” (Tomoe)
“… I understand” (Lich)
Lich does as he was told and begins to put them on. There doesn’t seem to be any difference. When he puts one on, there isn’t even a pained look.
Well, those are rings that have already absorbed to their limit anyways. It was already in a dangerous state so they told me not to use them anymore and get new ones but, what would happen if the magic power surpasses what it can absorb?
At least Lich didn’t dry up the instant he put on the rings, so for now I am relieved.
When we confirm that Lich has put on all of them, Tomoe once again walks outside.
Once again the two of them continue the aria they were doing a few moments ago and the pact begins.
No, that’s not it. Tomoe is the one in charge of the pact spell and I feel like Mio is doing something to Lich.
The light pillar appears once more.
But that color was… red. No way!
“Success-ja! It’s red-ja zo!” (Tomoe)
“… Tomoe-san? Faking magic power is something we don’t understand and it is also difficult-desu, so please concentrate on finishing this before celebrating” (Mio)
If it is something you don’t understand, how are you able to do it for real?! That’s something I would definitely be unable to do!
“I know. Waka, we will begin the pact. It’s okay right, Lich?” (Tomoe)
Fake they say, meaning it is a camouflage? I don’t know what they did to trick the pact but… it isn’t something you do so carelessly!
The specs of Tomoe and Mio are scary. What is it, do these two also possess the mad scientist attribute?
It looks like they did a pretty excessive doping and were able to succeed?!
Intuition or an enlightenment. Why is it that my followers are people that should normally not have any connection with the uncouth me? I feel like the time where I can surprise them with my modern time’s knowledge isn’t something that will last too long.
“… Is it okay for me to be accepted as a follower, Makoto-dono?” (Lich)
It seems that the skeleton from the very beginning didn’t have any objections of being my follower.
Maybe it is the effect of having Tomoe throw him into despair and lifting him a bit later. After that she explained about me, and seemed like she had zero intentions of letting him escape.
Though his tension seems to be a bit low. I kind of understand your feelings.
“Don’t worry, I actually wanted a man for some time now. Aren’t you a healthy skeleton? I am expecting a lot from you. Ahahaha” (Makoto)
I right now was what they call, riding in the flow.
The red light began to envelop all the inside of the formation.
After that short exchange between Lich and me, we kept silent and stood upright.
Soon, I could tell that there was a clear connection between us. The pact has been completed huh.
Being the third, I was already used to it, or more like I was calm about it.
The blinding light slowly disappears.
The remaining ones are, of course, me and Li… ch?
It is the same as with Tomoe and Mio so it should be the case but…
The one in front of me was…
Deep dark red colored hair that stretched until his back, and with his dark colored eyes that were the same as mine, he looks at me.
There was a hyuman that was in no way inferior and his appearance was that of a young man of 20 or so.
He has frikin flesh. And also, the two over there!
“Hohoh~ I was wondering what shape you would take, so that’s how it came huh!” (Tomoe)
“Fu~, his roots were certainly that of a hyuman after all. Could it be that this is his appearance from his previous life?” (Mio)
I understand that you were interested in what appearance he would be taking but! You are girls you know?! Your appearances are those of blooming girls you know?!
He only has a robe on his shoulders, don’t go seriously staring at a half-naked man!
He is not wearing any proper clothing you know?! Only a robe on his shoulders. Even his chest was practically in full view. His lower half was bare.
Tomoe seems to be affected a little bit. I don’t know about Mio though.
When I tried to check my own state after hearing those two’s words, Lich raises his arms and with wide eyes he was surprised by his own arm.
He touches his cheeks with both hands, hugs his shoulders, and it looks like he was touching his own body to confirm.
“Warm. I can feel the pulse of life?!” (Lich)
I don’t know the definition of an undead at all, but it seems that he has obtained a body of his own.
“Eh? What happened to the rings?” (Makoto)
“Now that you mention it, he doesn’t seem to have them on. Did they merge with him when his body was being remade?” (Tomoe)
“Those rings were originally Waka-sama’s magic power cluster. As long as he is under Waka’s control, there shouldn’t be any negative effects on him” (Mio)
You guys, is it okay with just that?
After Lich finished feeling moved, he made incredibly serious eyes and with a gesture that could be seen as exaggerated, he kneeled in front of me. His robe was already worn.
Uh, it looks like a serious atmosphere.
“Makoto-sama. For you to accept me as your lowest seat follower, this one, no, I am truly grateful. Also, the power of master that I feel in my body makes me shiver in happiness, and the fact that I was late in my greetings, I will apologize with my work from now on. I am looking forward to working for you” (Lich)
“Ah, yeah. Uhm, it is fine to not be so uptight. I don’t mind if you use “This one” or “I”. I am also looking forward to it” (Makoto)
He lowers his head deeply. Pacts don’t change personality right? Right?
“How is it-ja, Lich? You don’t have regrets right? It’s not only that you know. Your future with Waka is the time when you will truly shiver in happiness-ja” (Tomoe)
After her words, Tomoe, who was looking for the same opinion from Mio, seemed to be happy for the birth of a new follower. He is quite the research lover, so I think they will get along well.
“Yeah, there are a lot of things we have to teach you. Especially about the set rules regarding Waka-sama” (Mio)
It seems that because he is a man follower, he is not that hated by Mio. Well, even if he were a woman or a man, I am sure she would still cram a lot of stuff about rules and set things though. Even the unnecessary stuff.
My third follower is a Lich. Since he is a bearer of 13 rings, I think that I will be able to depend on him as a powerful companion that can fight.
I will hide his existence when in Tsige and have him accompany me when we go to Academy Town.
Or there is also the choice of leaving him in Asora. It hasn’t happened yet, but there is a chance that the adventurers will get violent after all. It would be reassuring if there is someone who can deal with it in the event that anything happens.
“Waka! Is it okay for me to talk about what I know to this thickheaded Mio and this once skull?” (Tomoe)
About me coming from a different world huh. Yeah, as a follower, they are friends in a ruling relationship after all, so let’s tell them. I was in a sense given permission from the Goddess to stay in this world, though it is a shame that I am not a graunt.
… It’s okay right? It won’t be like “Asora is a different world so you are actually a graunt!” right? Because I can go around without any sort of burden. What I mean is that, from Tomoe’s needless anxiety of this being a different world altogether, this possibility can appear as well.
Tomoe was originally able to control a space. She must be able to make an even wider amount of deductions and while she verifies them at the same time, she puts them together in order and tells them to me. World creation must be one of many deductions.
Possibilities, that’s right, possibilities… For now, let me prepare my heart for the time when the truth comes out.
If it is about Asora and this town it is fine. Right now the talk should be of telling Mio and Lich about me.
This isn’t something that Tomoe should be telling them. It’s something I should be telling them myself. If I think of them as family and plan on treating them as so, then more the case.
“No, I will be telling them myself. Let’s go to the data warehouse” (Makoto)
Yeah, that’s right.
What should I do about Lich’s name? I have to think about it. I should at least give him his name fast. I have a few choices so it should be fine for him to choose from them.
“!! Waka!” (Tomoe)
“Hm, what’s wrong Tomoe?” (Makoto)
“It has become a bit of a problem… Ei!” (Tomoe)
What? At the time when Tomoe suddenly made an impatient expression and was trying to tell me about the problem…

Good morning! Welcome to The Morning Shift, your roundup of the auto news you crave, all in one place every weekday morning. Here are the important stories that are your air, that you need to know to live.
1st Gear: New Blazer Won’t Be Built In America
Whether you choose to recognize the legitimacy of this new 2019 Chevrolet Blazer is between you, your family members and your clergyperson. It’s a crossover now, a far cry from the tough truck that left us 25 years ago, and hardly a competitor to the upcoming Ford Bronco. I actually don’t mind the way it looks, however; it’s as handsome as a Camaro-inspired crossover could get.
Anyway, one person who could be Very Mad Online about it is President Donald Trump, who has been on automakers’ asses to build cars in the United States and, I guess, only in the United States. He’s gone after Ford and Toyota and others on Twitter, and the fact that the Blazer will be built in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, where workers make $3 an hour, may not go over great. It didn’t with the United Auto Workers union either, of course.
GM’s decision was sharply criticized by the UAW, which supported Trump’s investigation into vehicle imports.
“This news that the iconic Blazer nameplate will be built in Mexico is disappointing to UAW families and communities across this country,” Terry Dittes, vice president of the UAW’s GM Department, said in a statement. “This is all happening while UAW-GM workers here in the U.S are laid off and unemployed.”
The president has appealed to working-class voters in part by bemoaning the loss of factory work in the U.S. and blaming unfair trade with other countries.
“After many decades of losing your jobs to other countries, you have waited long enough!” Trump wrote on Twitter in May, before directing the Commerce Department to investigate whether imported cars pose a national security threat. Trump also told top auto industry executives last month in a White House meeting that he wants them to build more vehicles in the U.S.
And why Mexico?
GM chose to make the Blazer in Mexico because the company was planning the vehicle years ago, when all of its SUV plants were running on three shifts, spokeswoman Katie Amann said. The Ramos Arizpe factory was the only assembly plant with enough capacity for the Blazer, she said by phone.
If the Blazer is to be a volume-seller, I could see production getting shifted to the U.S. at some point. Especially if GM has to feel the heat.
2nd Gear: China Faces Trump Tariffs First
Speaking of the president, after months of tough tariff talk aimed primarily at the German automakers but also everyone, it turns out the first big target will be China. Bloomberg calls it “the opening salvo in auto-import crackdown.” While Chinese auto brands don’t sell here—yet—an ever-growing number of Buicks, Cadillacs, Volvos and more are built there and exported here. Starting next month they will face steep tariffs that could slam the Chinese economy.
But after months of tough talk and threats, the first country whose autos Trump is targeting with tariffs is one the U.S. actually has a surplus with: China.
Cars were among the products that made the list of $50 billion in Chinese goods that the U.S. plans to slap with 25 percent levies early next month. In response, China has said it will tax American merchandise — including autos — with the “same scale and intensity.”
Weeks before the tariffs are even supposed to be implemented, their first high-profile victim has already stepped forward. Daimler AG said Wednesday that profit will suffer as exports from its Alabama factory to China will likely will be lower than the 60,000 vehicles it had expected this year.
The risk for the global auto industry is that this may be merely an opening salvo in a battle by the Trump administration against cars shipped to American shores. The Commerce Department is looking into whether vehicle imports pose a national security threat, and tariffs of as much as 25 percent are said to be under consideration.
That story includes a good look at how other auto-producing countries could be affected by the tariffs.
3rd Gear: Uber Driver in Fatal Tempe Crash May Have Been Watching ‘The Voice’ Behind the Wheel
Some disturbing information was released by the Tempe Police Department last night relating to the fatal autonomous Uber crash there in March, and it reveals the Uber-employed contractor behind the wheel may have been watching videos on her phone instead of minding the prototype vehicle.
Our friends at Gizmodo have more:
The documents, released to Gizmodo in response to a public records request, show that Tempe police found that the operator of the Uber autonomous vehicle could likely have avoided the fatal crash, had she been paying attention—but instead she was likely watching a video on her phone. Police also noted that Uber’s vehicles apparently did not alert operators to take over the vehicle during incidents.
Not surprisingly, Uber’s training methods, such as they were, are under scrutiny here too:
However, Tempe police also noted that Uber’s vehicles did not alert autonomous vehicle operators about when to take control of their cars.
“During the current development phase, vehicle operators are relied upon to perform evasive maneuvers,” one Tempe detective wrote. “I was not able to find anywhere in the literature that the self-driving systems alerts the vehicle operator to potential hazards or when they should take manual control of the vehicle to perform an evasive maneuver.” Uber’s spokesperson said that the company is reviewing safety practices and procedures and has hired former National Transportation Safety Board chair Christopher Hart as a safety advisor.
The way I see it, this crash and the spate of Tesla Autopilot mishaps lately speak to the same thing: the importance of attentive, skilled human drivers who mind these semi-autonomous vehicles at all times. But we keep seeing tragic things when people don’t, or when they make mistakes, and that may be the ultimate indictment of these “in-between” levels of autonomy until cars can fully drive themselves.
Full robot cars or nothing may be the way this is all headed.
4th Gear: Out Of The Shadow Of Sync
For years, Ford’s Sync was the poster boy for how shitty in-car infotainment systems were: slow, confusingly laid out, buggy, and averse to pairing with your phone properly. Everyone hated it. Former CEO Mark Fields apparently even punched a screen that had it once.
But in the years since, according to the latest J.D. Power Study, Ford has really gotten its act together, and now it leads in tech over Toyota and Honda—two systems that I personally agree are infuriating and clunky to use. Via Bloomberg:
Ford’s namesake brand ranked fifth in J.D. Power’s Initial Quality Study, which measures the number of problems per 100 vehicles in the first 90 days of ownership. The strong showing is a significant turnabout from 2013, when problematic early versions of the Sync infotainment system dragged Ford to 27th place out of 33 nameplates.
Ford was one of the first automakers to widely incorporate touch screens and phone connectivity across its lineup and confronted complaints that its systems worked poorly. After switching software partners and spending years smoothing out the system’s features, Jim VanSlambrouck, director of quality for the Americas, said Ford now has built a lead over rivals. Japan’s Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. — two longtime quality leaders — now are having similar infotainment issues.
“Our competitors are about two to three years behind us now,” VanSlambrouck said. “They are still refining how their tech works, and these are things where we’ve gotten out in front and will stay there.”
Good for Ford. Let us speak of Sync no more.
5th Gear: VW Mixes It Up
Post-Dieselgate, the Volkswagen Group is attempting to become more regionally focused, less centralized, less autocratic. In this new regime, individual brands are also responsible for major decisions in particular markets, the company announced today.
Here’s how some of that will work, via Reuters, quoting CEO Herbert Diess:
“We are spreading responsibility across several shoulders, we are making Volkswagen faster, leaner and more efficient,” Diess said in a statement on Friday.
Its core Volkswagen brand will take over responsibility for North America, South America and the Sub-Saharan region, while Audi will manage the Middle East and Asia.
Seat will handle the market in North Africa and Skoda will be responsible for Russia and India. China will remain under the remit of the Volkswagen Group, the company said.
In April, VW gave responsibility for group sales to Audi and production to the head of the Porsche brand. It has also bundled its luxury brands into a “super premium” cars division.
Cool. Good luck everyone!

Lina Murr Nehmé invitée par Radio Notre-Dame pour commenter les attentats de novembre 2015.
Call it ISIS, ISIL or EIL, it’s real Arabic name is Daesh, al dawlat al islamiyyat fil Irak wa Bilad el-Sham (Islamic State in Iraq and Bilad el-Sham).
Bilad el-Sham is the name that was (and still is) given by the Arabs to the countries we call Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Israel, Jordan.
So the invasion of Israel and Jordan is in the original plan of Daesh, as well as the invasion of Lebanon, Syria and Iraq.
Now, Daesh calls itself “Caliphate” or “Islamic State”, thus claiming a global sovereignty for its leader, Baghdadi.
The United States is part of its plan of conquest. That’s what Baghdadi meant when he told the US soldiers: “See you in New York, guys!”
To attract attention on his intention to take New York, I published the following post on Facebook a few days after Baghdadi proclaimed himself a caliph.
Under the post I placed this picture below, a photo from a CNN report that related the last words of Baghdadi to the Americans who had kept him prisoner in Iraq.
A long time before the creation of Daesh, Baghdadi was already dreaming of becoming a caliph, and of capturing New York…

As Kentucky began a phased reopening of businesses this week, The News-Enterprise in Elizabethtown introduced a Community Pandemic Relief Program to help locally owned businesses get back on their feet.
The paper is providing one free print advertisement in the newspaper (an eighth of a page) to every locally owned business as each reopens its storefront — free of any cost or future commitment. The advertisement can be used to announce that the business once again is open to the public, explain any new procedures that might be necessary or to communicate new hours of operation.
Chris Ordway, publisher of The News-Enterprise, said: "There are no strings attached to this offer." It doesn’t matter if the business ever has been a customer of The News-Enterprise.
The paper also is offering an incentive to companies to purchase additional advertising — as an investment in local marketing and promotion efforts going forward. In a column published Sunday, Ordway said The News-Enterprise will match dollar-for-dollar local businesses' added retail advertising spending up to $1,000 a month through June.
"If your business spends $1,000 on retail advertising," Ordway wrote, "we will match that spending during the same month with another $1,000 equivalent of free retail advertising space. The program will involve both print and digital advertising in Hardin County." | <urn:uuid:92773ab7-3bab-4574-8747-e4f7a295c896> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://mediaviruswatch.com/stories/elizabethtown,83904 | 2020-09-23T19:38:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.955259 | 278 |
When the couple wants to meet me in a brewery, hikes in a thunderstorm for their engagement session and bribes me to go to the beach, I know they are my type of people.
Kelsey is a Disney fanatic, so of course, she had a Cinderella dress full of sparkles and subtle hints everywhere, I never found the hidden Mickey’s though.
Jaremy was the perfect prince. Smiles, tears, and lots of spontaneous moments with these two made our day fun.
It was a destination wedding in Lincoln, City Oregon, so I bribed my husband into coming along for a weekend retreat, and even got him to go with to assist me. Now he understands why sometimes when I get home, I just want to sit down and have a beer. It’s a workout!
We met Jaremy and Kelsey at Salishan Spa and Golf Resort as they were getting ready. I hung out with the girls and captured the details.
The ceremony was held in the little glen that they had tucked away on the property. The sun was tricky that day as it was in and out of clouds and peeking through the trees surrounding the site.
Afterward, we went to the reception hall. I was completely floored at the amazing centerpieces that Kelsey’s friend, Katie, had made. There may be talk about her opening an Etsy shop for these!
And of course, the bride and groom had this one.
The reception included a waffle brunch, dancing, toasts, and cupcakes from Simply Sweets here in Vancouver, WA
The real magic happened when we snuck off down to the beach. The sun was out at the top of the hill at Salishan, but the beach was misty. It made for perfect lighting. There was a path off to the side that was lined by trees.
My husband and I had an amazing time working with these two, I cant wait to go grab some beers and hangout some more. | <urn:uuid:5c180b09-6752-493a-b104-4f281731945c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://missyfantphotography.com/2017/07/31/lincoln-city-or-wedding-kelsey-and-jaremy-a-wedding-fit-for-a-princess/ | 2020-09-23T18:31:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.984207 | 416 |

When Vladimir Putin was given a dire forecast of the economy under the cloud of a crippling coronavirus pandemic and a sharp fall in global demand for petroleum, the Russian president was much less bullish about his country's prospects in a price war with oil-producing rival Saudi Arabia. "For our economy, yes definitely, this is a very serious challenge," Putin told Audit Chamber head Aleksei Kudrin on April 1, adding that the United States, which recently surpassed Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world's largest oil producer, would also suffer.
It was a big step back from the line being floated just two weeks ago when, despite Russia's economic dependence on natural resources, Moscow engaged in a bit of chest-thumping about its chances in a price war, arguing that Russia was in a stronger position than its main competitors to ride it out.
But that was before the true impact of the coronavirus on the global economy was understood, and before Kudrin -- a former finance minister and trusted ally -- told Putin in a government meeting held by video that the Russian economy could decline this year by between 3 and 5 percent.
And that was a moderate outlook, according to Kudrin, who went on to warn that the situation could be as bad as the nearly 8 percent decline the country suffered in 2009 during the financial crisis.
When faced with slumping oil demand as the global economy suffered from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, Riyadh's demands for output cuts were refused by fellow OPEC+ member Moscow. After walking away from the table, the Saudis instead took the surprising route of increasing oil output, causing the largest one-day drop in prices in nearly three decades.
Putin's comment is one sign that Russia, which always expressed openness to continue negotiations with Riyadh, may be keen on coming to an agreement. "Today's acknowledgement by Putin shows Russia is interested in the dialogue process and wants to go ahead with it," Rauf Mammadov, an energy analyst at the Middle East Institute in Washington, told RFE/RL on April 1.
From the beginning, the price war has raised questions about who would cave first: Moscow, Riyadh, or U.S. production, which depends on shale-oil producers that have gained market share at the expense of Russia and Saudi Arabia but require higher oil prices to stay in business.
Russia is now preparing to ramp up spending to support millions of citizens and thousands of companies affected by quarantines and shutdowns. The Kremlin has thus far announced an increase of spending by $17.5 billion to counter the outbreak.
Related: $1 Oil: Saudi Arabia's Attempt To Crush U.S. Shale But according to Kudrin, the country may need to spend 5 percent of gross domestic product -- or about $70 billion -- to combat the impact of the coronavirus, which Russia has officially said has infected more than 3,500 people, but which skeptics suggest is a low-ball figure.
Those costs will be difficult to cover if oil prices are low -- but on April 2, the price of Russia's Urals crude blend fell below $11 a barrel, the lowest since Putin came to power two decades ago. The international benchmark Brent crude, meanwhile, was going for just over $26 a barrel on April 2, whereas Russia depends on a price of about $40 a barrel to balance its budget.
Russia as of March 20 had $551 billion in foreign-currency reserves at its disposal, although economists suggested that Putin would prefer not to tap into them. In just one week, however, those reserves had already fallen by $30 billion.
Even before Putin's government meeting, there were signs that Russia was having second thoughts about engaging in a price war with Riyadh, with Energy Minister Aleksandr Novak saying earlier on April 1 that Russia would not increase oil production in April, a reversal of earlier comments by officials.
Analysts have said that Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman's surprise decision to increase oil production was intended to get Putin back to the negotiating table.
And there is reason to believe that the Saudis might not want to keep the price war going either. Like Russia, the sharp decline in the price and volume of oil threatens Saudi Arabia's aggressive spending programs aimed at lifting living standards and diversifying its economy.
But Riyadh needs a much higher Brent crude price to balance its budget, nearly $80 per barrel, analysts have said. And while Saudi Arabia has $480 billion in foreign-currency reserves to lean on, it has already announced $13 billion in spending to deal with the lower budget revenue.
"Despite the bravado that we have been hearing on both sides, this is not about who has the lowest cost of production and higher profitability. This is about funding budgets, and for both Russia and Saudi budget expansion has been significant in recent years," Chris Weafer, the co-founder of Macro Advisory in Moscow, told RFE/RL on March 28. "The reality is that both of them need a deal to put a better price support in place."
Trump Wants A Deal
The other oil-producing elephant in the room is the United States, which has seen its shale-oil producers suffer as a result of the price dispute.
U.S. President Donald Trump, who has called the price war "crazy," has been trying to accelerate talks between Russia and Saudi Arabia while members of Congress have been calling for sanctions and tariffs if they don’t find an agreement.
Trump has said he recently spoke with the leaders of both countries and that Moscow and Riyadh were "going to get together" but he gave no further details. He expressed optimism on April 1 that an agreement was near.
"I think that Russia and Saudi Arabia, at some point, are going to make a deal in the not-too-distant future because it's very bad for Russia. It's very bad for Saudi Arabia," Trump said.
The U.S. president reiterated that hope on April 2, saying in a tweet that he expected Russia and Saudi Arabia to cut 10 million barrels a day, though it was unclear if he was referring just to the two countries or to OPEC+, the alliance of two dozen oil-producing states that Moscow and Riyadh lead. It was also unclear if U.S. companies would be involved in the output cut.
Just minutes after Trump's tweet, Saudi Arabia called for an emergency meeting of OPEC+ members.
Macro Advisory co-founder Weafer said he expected Moscow and Riyadh to find a short-term solution to their dispute that would get them through the crisis period.
The Middle East Institute's Mammadov suggested that Russia and Saudi Arabia could reach an agreement with other countries through the Group of 20 (G20) format, as it would offer both Putin and Prince Salman a way to claim victory. "It would eliminate the face-saving confrontation between Saudi Arabia and Russia because it's not about the old OPEC+ deal" that they fought over, he said.
Trump will meet with U.S. oil executives on April 3 to discuss measures to support the domestic market, including possible tariffs on oil imports from Russia and Saudi Arabia as well as American production cuts.
Analysts have said that Riyadh and Moscow will want to see U.S. producers share the burden of stabilizing the market by cutting supply.

A cobra in Ravenscourt Park was feeling a bit sad and lonely.
All she saw was green.
All she felt was grass.
The silence was driving her crazy.
She curled herself around one of the legs of a bench.
She dived into a litter bin to see if anyone was inside.
She stretched her neck to look up a tree.
But she saw no-one.
No pidgeons, no squirrels, no vermin…
Just a sad, lonely cobra hanging out in Ravenscourt Park. | <urn:uuid:55e34187-cf95-4093-8cad-9d147dc4f697> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://pilarwrites.com/2017/07/16/a-cobra-in-ravenscourt-park-beginnings/ | 2020-09-23T20:34:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.980178 | 115 |
And then there was a message. I suspected there would be one; there always is…by the water.
At the massage center on my first day, a small deck of angel cards beckoned visitors: Take One.
“Vision,” mine read.
“This can’t be for me,” I thought.
I always doubt my messages when they first arrive.
But as I laid back and let the massage therapist care for my aching spirit, an image came into my head of a giant V. Only it wasn’t a V, it was the shape the highway takes when lined by trees, with a horizon at the center.
“Ah ha,” I thought, “I cannot get where I think I am supposed to be going without a vision.”
But I’ve had my head down and focused on work for so long, it almost hurts to look up, let alone ahead — to the horizon, to the future.
I suppose it’s no surprise, then, that the message is Vision.
It’s time to see what that means.

Based on the positive feedback I have received on the Nuggets of Wisdom I have decided to post these quotes on a quarterly basis. – Richard
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.
– Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States
I realize that I will either allow my view of evil to determine my view of God, or I will allow my view of God to determine my view of evil.
– Dallas Willard, American philosopher
Progress, modernity’s master idea, seems less compelling when it appears that it may be progress into the abyss.
– Robert Bellah, sociologist
It is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work.
– Jim Collins, author
If you think of this world as a place simply intended for our happiness, you will find it quite intolerable: think of it as a place for training and correction and it’s not so bad.
– C.S. Lewis, author and theologian
Men lust, but they know not what for. They fight and compete, but they forget the prize; they spread seed, but spurn the seasons of growth; they chase power and glory, but miss the meaning of life.
– George Gilder, American investor, writer and economist
God alone is man’s true good, and since man abandoned him it is a strange fact that nothing in nature has been found to take his place: stars, sky, earth, elements, plants, cabbages, leeks, animals, insects calves, serpents, fever, plague, war, famine, vice, adultery, incest. Since losing his true good, man is capable of seeing it in anything, even his own destruction, although it is so contrary at once to God, to reason and to nature.
– Blaise Pascal, French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and theologian
What can you ever really know of other people’s souls – of their temptations, their opportunities, their struggles? One soul in the whole of creation you do know: and it is the only one whose fate is placed in your hands.
– C.S. Lewis, from Mere Christianity
If you make work your identity and you’re successful, it’ll go to your head. If you’re a failure, it’ll go to your heart. It’ll destroy you either way.
– Tim Keller, author and theologian
No vital Christianity is possible unless at least three aspects of it are developed. These three are the inner life of devotion, the outer life of service, and the intellectual life of rationality.
– Elton Trueblood, author and theologian
Lay hold of today’s task, and you will not need to depend so much upon tomorrow’s. While we are postponing, life speeds by.

You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you.
– C.S. Lewis, from A Grief Observed
Evil does its best work when it is disguised as good.
– Donald McCullough, minister
Greatness in the eyes of God is always preceded by humility before Him.
– Ravi Zacharias, Christian evangelist
Historically, Americanism means the virtues of courage, honor, justice, truth, sincerity, diligence – the virtues that made America. The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first, instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.
– Theodore Roosevelt, 26th president of the United States
Christ invites each of us to seek and find Him. He lets us know that in the process of finding Him, we will find ourselves.
– Larry Crabb, Christian counselor, author, teacher and speaker
But anything that is merely of this world is not something we should build our lives on. It is a foundation of sand. And unfortunately too many of us do this.
– Thomas Morris, American Philosopher
Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.
– Rick Warren, evangelical pastor and author
We change our behavior when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of changing.
– Henry Cloud, Christian author
Tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society. When you have an immoral society that has blatantly, proudly, violated all of the commandments of God, there is one last virtue they insist upon: tolerance for their immorality.

Guitar Player magazine (www.guitarplayer.com) is reporting that John Lennon’s Gretsch 6120 will be auctioned in November. This is the same guitar that was played by Lennon in April 1966 while recording The Beatles hit “Paperback Writer.” It is estimated that the guitar might fetch as much as $1 million!
The early 1960′s Gretsch is a Chet Adkins model with a pair of Gretsch FilterTron humbuckers, gold-plated hardware, Space Control bridge, and a Bigsby B6-C.
This page is a work in progress, but we’re very excited to bring you this historic amplifier!
VOX Berkeley Super Reverb Twin (SRT) electric guitar amplifier
VOX USA (Thomas Organ)
17 Watts RMS, according to the Mfr.
Tube-driven 2-spring Gibbs (Hammond) Tank
VOX tremolo circuit
12AX7 preamps; 12AU7 reverb; 12AX7 tremolo, two (2) EL84’s output
Pair of Weber (USA) 10-inch Blue Alnicos replaced the worn out Bulldogs
1965. The Beatles. Vox. What more can you say?
This 1965 model Berkeley is the original all-valve (tube) powered version that Thomas Organ produced in Sepulveda, California n small numbers from late 1965 through mid 1966. This one was partially restored by its owner “65mosrite,” giving it some fresh outer cosmetics (obtained from North Coast Music, of course), and some re-wiring and replacement of resistors and capacitors where needed.
I was fortunate enough to buy this amp from Richard H. (aka: 65mosrite), and couldn’t be happier.
North Coast Music, who runs The Vox Showroom, has some excellent data and stories related to the famous amplifier. I have provide some links to those pages below.

Here is a video by 65mosrite, who worked to restore this awesome amp!
SOLD! This Beatles-signed ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ album sold at auction today for $290,500.00. This copy of the 1967 ‘Sgt. Pepper’s’ album, acclaimed by most as the greatest of all Beatles’ albums, was signed by all four Beatles.
Today’s final bid exceeded the original estimated value by more than $260,000. The auction was held in Dallas, Texas by Heritage Auctions.
The Beatles album Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band was released on this day in 1967, forever changing rock and roll, and music as a whole. Tracks like A Little Help from My Friends, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Lovely Rita, When I’m Sixty-Four, Good Morning Good Morning, A Day in the Life, and the album’s title song, are now timeless classics. Listening to the album’s Side Two is an experience within itself, that must be enjoyed from beginning to end without interruption. The songs on Side Two were carefully woven together so that the music flowed seamlessly, and almost endlessly.
Rock music had reached a pinnacle. Mick Jagger once said in a radio interview, that after hearing a early pre-release tape of Sgt. Pepper’s on cassette, “We’re done! No one is going to top that.”
So enjoy the day, and spin the vinyl if you have it. Because somewhere in the universe (pun intended), that magnificent final E chord is still fading…!
The Vox UL730 amp played by George Harrison on the Revolver and Sgt. Pepper’s recordings
The Northwich Guardian reported today that a man in Wicham England discovered that a guitar amplifier he’s owned for awhile actually belonged to George Harrison in the mid-60′s. Apparently that fact went unnoticed for decades until the man took the amp in for repair. The technician discovered Harrison’s identification inside the amp during the repair. | <urn:uuid:9976cb9a-431b-4b3e-8fe8-e522caabb78c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://tonegems.com/tag/beatles/ | 2020-09-23T18:32:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.924072 | 895 |

With its sushi and sumo, pop culture and age-old tradition, serene gardens and traffic hell, Tokyo
bombards the senses like no other city. Ordered yet bewildering, Japan
’s pulsating capital will lead you a merry dance – but being lost has never been so much fun. The planet’s largest metropolis is Asia at its weirdest, straightest, prettiest, sleaziest and coolest, all at the same time.
1. Eat at Robot Restaurant
Seeing is believing at Tokyo’s newest and zaniest attraction, Robot Restaurant
. It all starts at the entrance foyer, where there’s nary an inch of regular, boring space – everything glistens, shines, flashes or reflects. There’s far more of the same heading down the stairs to the trippy, video-screen-lined hall where you’ll be sat with other excited tourists and locals, and given a bentō
set to scoff before the carnage commences.
YouTube clips will give you a great idea of what to expect, but the performances are far more fun if you have no idea what’s coming – for now, suffice it to say that dozens of robots, scantily dressed girls, more LEDs than anyone could ever count, and a wall of roaring music are on the cards.
2. Stay in a capsule hotel
Catering mainly to drunken salarymen who have missed their trains home, capsule hotels are made up of floors lined with two levels of tiny rooms, each containing a thin mattress, a comfy blanket, and (in most) a TV and radio built into the plastic surrounds.
A metre wide, a metre high and two metres long, the rooms are just about big enough to stand in, but not much else. However, the clichéd description of them as being “coffin-like” is rather wide of the mark: while claustrophobics and anyone over 2m tall should give them a miss, most actually find these minuscule rooms surprisingly comfortable – and there’s no more characteristic Japanese sleeping experience.
3. Have a cuppa in a cat café
The latest hit formula in Tokyo’s polymorphous kissaten
culture is the cat café. Offering quality time with purring felines, it’s easy to understand the appeal: they are relaxing places, offering the pleasures of pet ownership without the commitment.
Ranging from tiny converted apartments to spacious multi-level facilities, cat cafés all have similar rules. There’s a cover charge based on the amount of time you spend in the café and perhaps a small amount extra for your drinks. You have to take your shoes off on entering and sanitize your hands and note that feeding and taking photos of the cats is OK, but you’re not allowed to manhandle or disturb them if they’re sleeping.
4. Walk Shibuya crossing
As a mind-blowing introduction to contemporary Tokyo, it’s hard to beat Shibuya, birthplace of a million-and-one consumer crazes, and best visited at night when the neon signs of restaurants, bars and cinemas battle it out with five-storey TV screens for the attention of passers-by.
This blaze of lights doesn’t get much brighter than around the plaza on the west side of Shibuya Station, where you’ll find one of the most famous pedestrian crossings in the world – its stock only rose further following its depiction in the film Lost in Translation. It’s amazing to see just how many people can cross a road at the same time.
5. Drink in Golden Gai
If you’re after Tokyo drinking at its most atmospheric, head to this is a warren of minuscule bars in neon-drenched Shinjuku. For decades these 150 drinking dens have teetered on the brink of oblivion, the cinderblock buildings under threat from both property developers and from their own shoddy construction.
Recently, though, Golden Gai seems to be undergoing a mini-renaissance as a younger generation of bar masters and mistresses take over some of the shoebox establishments. Most bars continue to welcome regulars only, but no longer need gaijin
visitors risk being fleeced rotten as several places now post their table and drink charges outside the door.
6. Get gaming at Leisure Land
If you want to see “crazy” Tokyo, Leisure Land is a pretty good place to start. Attractions include a bowling alley, a baseball-batting centre and karaoke rooms, but best of all is the Game Corner on the first floor where you can bash the hell out of the world’s weirdest arcade machines.
In this extremely noisy area you’ll see Tokyoites – and not just the young ones – perfecting their moves on the dance machines, thrashing computerized drum kits, playing all sorts of screen-whacking games, and using grabbing cranes to pluck teddies for their dates.
7. Watch some sumo giants
Japan’s national sport, sumo
, has declined substantially in popularity since the turn of the millennium, but if you’re in Tokyo at tournament (basho
) time, it’s certainly worth popping along to witness the titanic clashes of wrestling giants at the National Sumo Stadium in Ryōgoku.
Relatively devoid of the commercialism entwined with Western sports, and dripping with mesmerizing ritual, this is Japanese sporting culture at its finest.
8. Head to a hanami party
With the arrival of spring in late March or early April, a pink tide of cherry blossom washes north over Tokyo, lasting little more than a week.
The finest displays are along the moat around the Imperial Palace (particularly the section close by Yasukuni-jinja), in Ueno-kōen, Aoyama Cemetery, Shinjuku Gyoen, the riverside Sumida-kōen and on the banks of the Meguro-gawa west of Meguro station, where every tree shelters a blossom viewing (hanami
9. Take a trip to the hot springs
Until a few decades ago life in Tokyo’s residential neighbourhoods focused round the sentō
, the public bath. A surprising number of sentō
survive, many fed by natural onsen waters. Then there are the larger hot-spring resorts – good fun, though not a patch on the smaller onsen facilities found elsewhere in the city.
Our top picks for a soak are the old Jakotsu-yu neighbourhood bathhouse and the resort-like spa complex of Ōedo Onsen Monogatari in Odaiba.
10. Check out the Ghibli Museum
Get behind the scenes of Studio Ghibli anime at this imaginative museum. Beautifully designed throughout, it celebrates the work of the Ghibli animation studio, responsible for blockbuster movies including My Neighbour Totoro
, Princess Mononoke
and the Oscar-winning Spirited Away
. Visitors gain an insight not only into Ghibli’s films but also the animator’s art in general. There’s also a small movie theatre where original short animated features, exclusive to the museum, are screened. | <urn:uuid:f1a6e84c-63d1-4758-8502-35df39cf0a42> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.asiatourist.org/east-asia/quirky-tokyo-the-top-10-things-to-do.html | 2020-09-23T18:58:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.917723 | 1,535 |
One of our favorite things to do while working on the Fusion 360 team is…
Sign of the Times: The Degenderator
The Degenderator is a zero-profit crowdfunded campaign to distribute as many all-gender bathrooms signs as possible, using a cute animated figure to bring attention to the issue and the campaign. Everyone benefits from well-designed, inclusive bathroom facilities, and a lot of places in the US now require all-gender signage on any single user bathroom. Multi-user all-gender spaces are becoming more common too.
The team behind the Degenderator, is one person. Robb Godshaw has a background in industrial design, mechatronic engineering, and sculpture. The Degenderator makes use of all of these fields.
As an industrial designer, Robb had to balance maintaining the classic look and proportion of the bathroom gender icons with the mechanical constraints of the system. This proved quite the challenge and took dozens of revisions. Having the flexibility to move between parametric modeling and direct modelling was key to tuning the design so that it could function mechanically and maintain the look of the icons it seeks to challenge. This was a task that Fusion 360 handled quite well. Integration of the ability to easily animate mechanical designs and simulate the center of gravity were also key features for this project. Prototypes were made with laser cutting, 3D Printing, Custom PCB Fabrication, and some manual machining. Final products will be injection molded in China, based on exported STEP files and 2D drawings made in Fusion 360.
As a mechatronic engineer, Robb’s challenge was to build a low cost system that would run for many years on regular batteries. The solution was found in the low-power magnetic pendulum toys, such as the maneki-neko waving cat, or the flip flap flower. These devices use the natural property of pendulums paired with low-friction linkages and electromagnetism to function. Robb bought more than 30 different toys to determine which mechanisms could be adapted to The Degenderator’s unique needs. In the end the a flip-flaping flower and a panda on a skateboard held the magic ideas that brought the prototypes to a point of production readiness.
Electronically, the secret is a tiny, low power, analog circuit which repels the magnetic pendulum in perfect timing with its natural period. The pendulum has a magnet that swings back and forth across a coil of copper wire, thinner than a human hair and about 1 kilometer long. The coil acts as an electromagnet and sensor. It senses the pendulum as it passes, and the chip triggers the repulsion, keeping the bob in motion. The pushes are slight, but they are enough to keep it going forever. The whole thing uses less than 50 microAmps, which is about on par with a long-life smoke detector.
The Degenderator has just launched on Kickstarter as a zero-profit campaign. Half the signs produced are being donated, while the other half are being sold. If your business has bathrooms suitable for de-gendering, please consider backing this project.

Elderly Related Accidents
Many people come to Florida to retire, and as a result the state has a sizeable elderly population. Continuing to drive as they did before retirement often allows senior citizens to feel some sense of control over their everyday lives. However, as people age, many of them become impaired. They lose their ability to see or hear, and their reaction times are substantially slowed. These age-related issues make it more likely that an elderly person will be involved in a car accident. Florida is the state with the highest number of drivers who are 65 or older who are involved in fatal car accidents. If you have been hurt or lost a loved one in a crash near Ocala, the dedicated car accident attorneys at the Dean Law Firm can help you seek compensation.Protect Your Rights by Bringing a Negligence Claim
In many cases, an elderly driver's impaired faculties cause a car accident through his or her negligence. To prove a defendant’s negligence, a crash victim will need to show the defendant's duty of care, a breach of that duty, actual and proximate causation, and actual damages. An elderly person owes the same duty to other drivers and pedestrians to use reasonable care and refrain from posing foreseeable risks of harm as a non-elderly person does. The duty to use reasonable care includes following traffic laws, submitting to the mandated vision test for those 80 and older, and wearing corrective lenses as required. An elderly driver who fails to do any these things—thereby breaching his or her duty, and causing an accident—often may be held responsible for an accident victim's injuries.
In some cases, there is more than one person at fault for a crash. If you are partly to blame for the collision that caused your injuries, the damages that you may recover in Florida will be reduced by your proportion of responsibility under the doctrine of comparative negligence. This means, for example, if you are in a two-car accident and are 25% responsible for an accident and the total damages award was $100,000, you are responsible for $25,000 of the damages, while the defendant owes you $75,000.
Like anyone else who is injured in a car accident, a victim can potentially recover the full spectrum of his or her economic and non-economic costs and losses, including medical bills, lost wages, repairs to a vehicle, and pain and suffering. There is a limited time period within which an injured individual can file a claim after a crash, however. This rule, known as the statute of limitations, generally will bar the right to recovery for an accident victim who waits too long to sue a defendant.Consult an Ocala Attorney after a Motor Vehicle Collision
Elderly drivers can cause serious harm through negligence caused by advancing age. They should not be excused for careless actions behind the wheel that cause devastating, often permanent injuries to others. These types of accidents are especially common in Florida communities such as Ocala, and the motor vehicle collision lawyers at the Dean Law Firm are ready to help you protect your rights if you have been hurt as a result.

In marketing, there’s a saying: “If you’re talking to everybody, you’re not talking to anybody.” In other words, if you don’t know your target audience — or how to speak directly to them — your broad, generic messages are going to be overlooked, ignored, and forgotten.
The target audience problem most businesses have
Despite the importance of identifying and focusing on a target audience, many brands struggle with this concept. When asked to describe their target audience, they often answer in broad, vague terms. For example, a dentist might answer by saying:
“My target audience is everyone. Everyone has teeth, so they all could benefit from my dental services.”
You can see why a dentist would say this. It’s a logical answer, and it is in fact, true — people with teeth need dentists. Plus, the dentist probably wants to bring as many people into their practice as possible. It’s not surprising that they would want to target a very large group of people who could benefit from their services. They want to fill their business with customers, so they attempt to keep their audience open and wide instead of narrowing it down.
Focusing on an ambiguous, generalized audience won’t make it easier to fill a business with customers. It actually has the opposite effect.
What happens when you don’t know your target audience?
When you don’t define a target audience — or don’t know how to identify it — marketing your business is a challenge. Without a defined and specific audience, you will experience the following problems and situations.
You can’t develop strong, authentic branding
Your brand is made up of colors, logos and slogans, but it’s more than that. It’s a combination of creative elements that are meant to inspire a feeling or emotion in an audience. Great branding draws in an ideal audience by using elements most likely to attract them.
You cannot create this type of powerful branding if you don’t know who you want to engage in the first place.
If you create a brand before you identify your target audience, it will likely end up as uninspired or less attractive to your ideal customers.
Your marketing messages will be flat and uninspired
Just as your branding should be designed with your target audience in mind, your marketing messages should always also be created specifically for your ideal customers.
The language and selling points you present in your marketing materials should speak directly to your target audience.
If you don’t know who that target audience is, you can’t use the language or address the pain points that mean the most to them. Your email marketing, website content, and ad campaigns will all be less effective when you don’t know your ideal audience.
You can’t build lasting customer loyalty and affinity
People usually don’t have a strong love for generic brands with no personality. More often, they love authentic brands that have character and a strong point-of-view. Customers prefer brands they can identify with and feel connected to.
Great brands know this and tap into it to build customer loyalty. They leverage characteristics that resonate with their target audience to build brand affinity. If you don’t know who your target audience is, it’s much more difficult to build a brand that connects with customers in this way.
You attract customers that aren’t a fit
Strong, authentic branding draws in ideal customers and clients. On the flipside, it also steers away people who aren’t a fit.
While many businesses — especially new businesses — don’t want to push away potential customers, they should.
Customers who aren’t a fit can become a drain on company resources. They may be unable to fully benefit from your offerings, require extra time and attention — and still be unsatisfied. Businesses should avoid attracting ill-fitted clients by focusing on bringing in only the most ideal customers.
You can’t stand out from competitors
When a brand is generic and looks just like every other business in its industry, it loses the ability to stand out from competitors. A brand can’t differentiate itself or show audiences why it is better than another brand if it looks and feels like a replica of other businesses.
However, if a brand intimately addresses its target audience, it can shape branding and marketing messages to connect with customers in a way that competitors can’t. They can identify the details their customers crave and value, and use them to differentiate the brand through niche marketing.
You can’t effectively use targeted advertising
Knowing your target audience helps you use the right messaging and branding to connect with customers. It also helps you place your content in areas where your audience is most likely to see it.
When you know your target audience, you can identify the websites they use, the magazines they read, and the places where they spend time in person and online. This knowledge helps you identify the areas where you can place your ads and set up targeted social media advertising campaigns.
You can’t improve your offerings
When you don’t know your target audience, you can’t comprehend or visualize their experience. It’s next to impossible to anticipate how customers will feel about your offerings — much less improve the products and services based on audience perspectives.
When you closely know your customers, you can put yourself in their shoes. You understand their pain points and can see how your products and services impact their lives. This insight allows you to improve your offerings and even create new offerings that can help them even more.
How to define your target audience
Now you can see why it’s so important to identify and intimately know your target audience.
While your initial reaction might be to classify your ideal customers in a broad, generic way, there are many long-term benefits to drilling down and defining your target audience in more specific terms.
Avoid using generic and broad classifications for your target audience. Instead, spend time going deep into defining your ideal customers. Create a complete description or buyer persona that outlines the following characteristics and details.
- Demographics — Statistical information about your audience
- Professional details — Information about their jobs and place of work
- Psychographics — Details about their personalities and innate qualities
- Goals — Descriptions of what they want to accomplish
- Challenges — Problems the audience regularly faces
- Influences — Media and impressions the audience encounters
- Buying process — How the audience makes purchasing decisions
The more specific you can get about your target audience, the better your marketing and business operations will be.
But don’t stop there. Continue to develop your target audience description by creating detailed customer profiles. Here’s how. | <urn:uuid:22e3f205-b628-4a52-8185-b818bfdde284> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.godaddy.com/garage/why-a-target-audience-matters-and-how-to-find-yours/ | 2020-09-23T19:13:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.933071 | 1,408 |

The tipping point is on the horizon; Walmart and UPS fleets will soon be completely electrified.
Under pressure from regulators and customers to ditch fleets that run on fossil fuels, everything from delivery vehicles to garbage trucks to school buses are struggling to figure out how to economically make the switch. Electric vehicles promise to deliver fuel savings and lower maintenance cost, but the upfront costs of electrifying a fleet can be limiting.
On the stage at VERGE conference in Oakland on Tuesday, Walmart and UPS offered some views about the struggles and lessons they learned from making a switch to electric vehicles.
Scott Phillippi, senior director of maintenance and engineering at UPS said:
“The opportunity for reducing maintenance, which we hope to see soon, hasn’t been quite determined yet. The biggest challenge is there isn’t a lot (of different classes of electric commercial trucks) to choose from. We are not quite at a tipping point.”

UPS has been running a pilot project to electrify a fleet of 170 in central London, and it is nearly there. It’s installed software to monitor and spread out the charging of trucks to avoid overtaxing the power grid.
Benefits beyond fuel and maintenance
Walmart and UPS are looking for benefits beyond savings on fuels and maintenance for an electric fleet. Figuring them out helps make a stronger business case for investing in electric vehicles.
For example, using electric trucks allow UPS to avoid the fees associated on gasoline and diesel vehicles that enter the city center of London.
Walmart electric trucks open up the possibility of delivering more merchandise at night, when there is less congestion, which it currently can’t do in lots of places because of local government rules on noise.
“What we know is there’s no model that can duplicate what the real world looks like. No matter what you think or what’s been simulated, there will be problems along the way. That’s the natural path of where we are going.” – Scott Phillippi

Reposo Booms in India After The Chinese Service TikTok is Banned | Emerging Markets Ecommerce - EMQQ
The ban on ByteDance-owned
TikTok in India, as part of a sweeping move against 59 Chinese apps, saw ‘Made
in India’ alternatives rise to the occasion. To say TikTok is a global
sensation is an understatement, the short-video platform stopped working for
its 200 million local users in India overnight.
Within hours, an avalanche of
new sign-ups pushed the servers of one of its Bangalore-based rivals, Roposo,
to breaking point. Two weeks later, Roposo, which also offers short videos,
says it’s peaking at 500,000 new app users an hour and expects to
have 100 million users by month’s end. That’s almost double the 55 million
it had before the ban. In terms of growth in absolute downloads, Roposo,
whose downloads increased from 5.5 Mn in the prior period, to 13.3 Mn in the
three weeks since the ban, experienced a growth of 142%. Roposo is owned
by InMobi a private company and a venture capital unicorn .
Roposo, which was
India’s first social network app, claimed 42 million users at the time
it was acquired by Glance in November 2019, an arm of InMobi. For Naveen
Tewari, CEO of InMobi the synergies were obvious. Glance, which had raised $45
million from Peter Thiel’s Mithril Capital shortly before the Roposo deal,
delivers personalized content on the locked mode screens of smartphones.
“Majority of Android phones use our technology,” says Tewari. Roposo would
bring to Glance additional content, its community of creators and influencers,
and an experienced team. Glance, in turn, would further the reach of Roposo’s
videos given its massive scale. “With more than 100 million daily active Glance
users, content created on Roposo naturally flows into Glance and creates a
flywheel effect,” says Tewari .
Roposo’s video technology,
including its camera and creation tool, painstakingly built and refined over
the years, is a strong differentiator. Moreover, because of the synergies
between Roposo and Glance, says Tewari, “you can go from being a star to a
superstar. Our ability to make money for our creators is very high”. Content
creators on Roposo get paid in redeemable points for every view of their
videos, as opposed to TikTok, where users monetized their content through brand
has a viable chance to become the world's 4th largest technology hub after the
U.S., China, and Russia. The Indian government’s ban, which covered other
big Chinese names such as UC Web mobile browser and WeChat messaging app,
followed a border conflict between India and China. India
cited privacy and security concerns, but the restrictions have dramatically
altered the competitive landscape in the nation’s digital economy .
give local firms a fighting chance at winning a larger chunk of the countries
more than half-a-billion internet users. They could even pave the way for some
Indian firms to compete more aggressively with global giants such
as Amazon and Facebook.
Reinforcing the new
hard-line, the Indian government has also asked Chinese companies such as
ByteDance, which owns TikTok, to answer 77 questions about their apps,
including whether they censored content, worked on behalf of foreign
governments or lobbied influencers.
Technology Ministry has given the companies three weeks to respond to the
questionnaire and said unspecified follow-up action would be taken, two sources
The banned apps were asked
whether they acted at the behest of any foreign government to edit, promote, or
demote any content. One theme of the questionnaire was whether the content was
censored after an attack last year carried out by a Pakistan-based militant
group in Pulwama district in Kashmir. The attack killed at least 40 Indian
police officers and heightened tensions between India and Pakistan .
“In the aftermath of the
Pulwama Attack of 2019, did the company/app censor content relating to the
attack or its perpetrators?” the question reads. TikTok said it was
working to respond to the ministry’s queries and that it complied with all
Indian laws, adding that users’ data security and privacy were its top
A source familiar with the
government’s thinking said the queries were in line with federal procedures and
the same questions were sent to all affected companies. One question seeks
to investigate if company executives in India communicated with film stars,
social media influencers or journalists to promote any content, even if the
communication was not for commercial purposes. Other queries were around
advertisers, business structures, taxation practices and privacy policies, the
document showed .
Meanwhile, Roposo, backed by the SoftBank-funded
InMobi, presently has the funds it needs to grow, says Tewari. Instagram too
has the deep pockets of Facebook to fall back on.
Second, to succeed in this business,
platforms need a strong community of creators. Insiders cite the
importance of the “network effect” where more creators lead to more content,
which leads to more users. More users, in turn, demand more content, which
spawns more creators. Virality is crucial for such businesses. Only then will
you see an avalanche of users.
Put another way, creators will be attracted to platforms that
are able to bring them fame by way of a number of views, and brand associations
or redeemable cash rewards. Users on the other hand, fickle as they are, will
be glued to platforms that offer quality content, and provide engagement by way
of campaigns or competitions.
Third, technology is the key to success. TikTok’s personalized
recommendation algorithm kept users hooked, says Lunia. For any platform to
replicate that its machine-learning and artificial intelligence capabilities
need to be on point.
other categories have also received a windfall after other Chinese names like
popular image scanner CamScanner were also blocked. The new contenders from a
variety of categories have three themes in common. Their apps are made in
India. Their data is stored in India. Their content, mainly in regional
languages, is attuned to local sensibilities.
followers of an Indian spiritual guru, Sri Sri Ravishankar, created Elyments,
an all-in-one rival for WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram. Asia’s richest man
Mukesh Ambani, of the Reliance conglomerate, launched JioMeet, a video
conferencing rival to the popular San Jose-based Zoom.
itself is getting a deluge of influencer marketing agencies and celebrities
wanting to come aboard. It’s discussing contracts with celebrity users and
content creators. It’s investing in-camera filters and Indian themes.
an opportunity just for entrepreneurs,” said Tewari. “Investors ought to be
rushing over.”
political dispute remains embroiled in a tussle that has assumed
nationalist overtones and is unlikely to get settled anytime soon. Luck,
as it were, is another component for success.

When Marian Mussallem died on Aug. 4 in Richmond, she was well remembered by many friends and relatives in Maple Ridge.
She had lived here with her late husband Peter Mussallem for many years and been an active part of several groups in the community.
Marian (nee Robinson) grew up in Esquimalt, a suburb of Victoria on Vancouver Island. A brilliant student, she went on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in chemistry at UBC in 1942, followed by a Master’s degree in 1944. This was an unusual ambition for a woman at this time, when fields of study most commonly chosen were teaching, nursing or secretarial work.
As a university graduate, Marian joined the University Women’s Club of Maple Ridge. She had not been part of the group when it wrote and published Maple Ridge – A History of Settlement in 1972.
Another University Club member, Daphne Sleigh, was the first curator of the Maple Ridge Museum, at a time when it was housed in the library in the Centennial building.
When Louise Poole inspired the University Women’s Club to begin a puppetry project, Marion Mussallem became an active member.
Louise wrote the scripts for a series of puppet plays, some based on stories such as Cinderella, and some original. She had often written plays for a drama group when she had been an English teacher at Maple Ridge High School. Group members crafted hand puppets, learned their lines, and practiced moving around the stage.
These puppet plays were performed for many local organizations, and frequently to school groups. The women also conducted puppet workshops for students, giving them a chance to handle the puppets and put together a short play of their own. Three of the most popular plays performed by the University Women were episodes from Winnie the Pooh.
The more elaborate puppet plays required a larger stage than the first one used. Marion with the help of her husband Peter designed and built a new stage, which had the advantage of being portable in pieces in the back of a station wagon. Part of the entertainment was the sight of five or six women putting the new stage together complete with curtains, before each presentation.
Today’s photo, taken in the early 1980s, shows members of the puppet group on their way to present a play to another university women’s club in Kelowna.
Picnicking in Manning Park on their way to the Okanagan are from left to right: Marion Mussallem, Vienna Cameron, Sheila Nickols, Louise Poole, Daphne Sleigh, Thelma Greenwell and Margaret Smith.
The puppet group continued to perform their plays until ill health forced Louise to retire.
The puppet scripts and puppets were all given to the Maple Ridge Museum, where they were on display for a time.
When the Maple Ridge branch of the University Women’s Club closed down, it left a legacy of the proceeds from sale of its history of Maple Ridge, along with the remaining copies from the fifth reprinting.
The Maple Ridge Historical Society has plans to reprint it again before the stock runs out.
– Sheila Nickols is past president of the Maple Ridge Historical Society. | <urn:uuid:549e7740-6eea-4031-994b-802fbbcae883> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.mapleridgenews.com/community/recalling-the-university-womens-club/ | 2020-09-23T19:28:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.978483 | 662 |
Did you know that around 70% of online shopping carts get abandoned? People bouncing off your site after only viewing one page may be as high as 80%. That can make a lot of your online marketing efforts seem wasteful. While the Internet is a great place to reach potential customers in 2019, it’s also a busy and distracting place. Remarketing helps you recapture these “almost” customers in an efficient and strategic way. On top of that, customers actually like it. And it builds brand affinity. It plugs the holes in that leaky sales funnel so you make more sales. You get more opportunities to show customers why they should choose you over those other guys. Let’s explore this very effective marketing method and learn how Google remarketing works for you.
What Is Remarketing?
What is it, you ask? Remarketing is probably the best thing to happen to marketing since Facebook. It’s a marketing method that leverages the power of the psychological phenomenon of recognition (to know something again).
That means if you’ve seen something before, you’re more likely to see it again and less likely to tune it out. You never noticed that hot new design before, but now you’re seeing it everywhere. Now that you know it exists, you can’t unsee it. Do you see the connection between this and how Google remarketing works?
Google remarketing allows you to automatically show a targeted advertisement online to someone who already visited your website. They may have been a casual visitor or even added items to their cart before conveniently disappearing into the great abyss that is the Internet.
But even if they left without buying anything, that doesn’t mean they’re not still interested. Because they already know about you, they’re more likely to see your ad and more likely to turn into a customer.
These ads may appear in searches or on any of the thousands of news and content site that Google partners with as part of their Google Display Network.
In this article, we’re focusing on how Google remarketing works. But you can also do remarketing on social media to reach people who already know who you are in more places they hang out online. More on that in a future article.
Let’s take a look at some numbers that prove just how effective remarketing can be for increasing furniture and home goods sales.
Why Google Remarketing Works So Effectively
Okay, time for the harsh truth. Showing your ad to a complete stranger and expecting to make a quick sale would be like trying to take a 4-cylinder car from a dead stop to 60MPH in 3 seconds. It’s probably not going to happen. We’re not saying it’s impossible. But you need a great strategy and big budget to “go fishing” for these leads.
Remarketing is like reaching 60MPH when you’re already going 50. Get where you want to go faster, with less effort.
Did you know that it takes approximately 7-13 touch points with a brand before someone becomes a paying customer? You may only notice a person toward the end of this journey. But they’ve likely been scoping you out for weeks or sometimes months before they buy. Remarketing helps increase the number of touch points in a shorter period.
The Internet is a distracting place. Those who assume that they have a person’s captive attention assume wrong. An email, a social media alert, a call–anything can pull people away. On top of this, double screening is on the rise. That’s using more than one device at a time (e.g., TV and smartphone, Laptop and tablet). A ClickZ study found that 80% of people in the UK think double screening in now normal. We’re pretty sure the US can probably top that. Now they’re twice as likely to get distracted while buying.
Remarketing lets you seamlessly redirect their attention hours, days, and sometimes weeks later with a targeted ad that they’re sure to see.
The Proof Is in the Numbers
But do they work? Here are the numbers that prove how Google remarketing works. These studies have been replicated again, all showing the power of remarketing.
- 3 out of 4 people notice remarketing ads.
- The average click-through for a regular ad is 0.07%. For remarketing it’s 0.7. They’re 10X more likely to click.
- People who receive remarketing ads are 70% more likely to convert.
- Today around 26% of eCommerce repeat visits happen because of remarketing.
What percentage of your website traffic is a repeated visit? If that number is low, remarketing can help you change that. Now that we’re clear on what it is, let’s see how Google remarketing works.
Types of Google Remarketing
Google remarketing isn’t just one way of marketing. You have many ad options to reach your customers. Analytics and testing help you reach the most customers with the right type of remarketing which may be:
- Standard Remarketing – This is where to start. It’s the most basic form. You’re showing the same ad to everyone.
- Dynamic Remarketing – Show more relevant ads based on the key products and pages that someone visited. You can do this at a category level to avoid having to add every page.
- Remarketing List for Search Ads (RLSA) – Show ads in searches with a custom list of categories relevant to the visitor. If they were searching for coffee tables, this might include sofas, end tables, and coffee tables.
- Video Remarketing – Remarketing ads that appear before videos on YouTube and other video sites
- Email List Remarketing – You upload your customer email list onto Google. Google shows ads based on their behavior on your site while logged into Google.
How Google Remarketing Works
Here it is step by step.
1. Start Collecting Cookies
Each device is given a unique cookie ID, which is then added to a list of your visitors. You may choose to retarget all visitors in the same way. That’s mildly effective. Or you can create several remarketing groups that show more personalized ads that are specifically based on the visitor’s actions like:
- Starting but not completing a video
- Searching for sofas
- Visiting a specific product page
- Showing interest in a specific brand, style or feature
- Abandoning a cart. Offer them 10% off, free shipping on an add-on to get them to come back and complete their purchase.
- Already bought something. Invite them back after a period. Or show them something they may like because of a past purchase.
You might have a list for each of these and as the cookies get sorted into the various folders, you can show the right ad to the right person automatically.
2. Get Relevant
In order for Google remarketing to work, the ads should be highly relevant and clearly branded. If a person sees different ads, it should always be clear at a glance that they’re your ads. When developing your remarketing strategy, consider how you can organize your lists and build ads to optimize relevance.
For example, you might show an ad for dining sets to someone who was looking at various dining sets on your site. Or if they showed particular interest in one set, you could show an ad that showcases that set, designer or complementing pieces.
Now let’s look at how Google remarketing works with your ad design.
3. How to Create a Banner Ad for Google Remarketing
Marketing can be hard. Don’t make it harder than it has to be. The easiest way to create a remarketing ad is through the free Google Display Ad Builder. They know exactly what they want and make it simple to deliver that experience with straightforward templates that let you add:
- Rich media
Browse templates, banner size and formats. Then go. Creating your ad can be the easiest part of learning how Google remarketing works as long as you apply those above principles of relevance and branding consistency.
Once you have an ad, you’re ready to go. Let’s look at how to manage your remarketing ads.
4. Manage Your Remarketing Ad Options
You’ll manage and analyze your ads through Google AdWords. You’re probably already familiar with basic AdWords. We’ll focus on some management options that are very important to remarketing.
You can control things like how many times you want someone to see your ad over what period. You can limit the number of times that someone sees your ad in a day.
These controls aren’t to be taken lightly.
Adjusting the frequency and duration of an ad can make a huge difference in your ability to meet your goals for a given remarketing campaign.
Seeing an ad too frequently can cause ad fatigue and even resentment. And as of 2018, Google allows a consumer to block your ad for 90 days if the ad feels intrusive. Not only is this a bad sign for customer relationship. Google may use this data to determine how much you pay for ads or whether it shows your ads at all.
Not seeing an ad enough may leave the ad unnoticed. Or seeing an ad occasionally over a longer period time may prove effective.
There’s no one perfect way. It depends on what you want to achieve. One strategy may work well for brand awareness. People may not click your ad directly. But as they are reminded of your site, they may revisit it directly. Other strategies may be more effective for quick sales or upsells of lower priced items.
It’s import to adapt, test and listen to what the data is telling you.
5. Measure Remarketing Success
Increased revenues and profits may be your final indicator of success. But along the way you’ll need to explore other micro-measures to know you’re on the right track. These include:
- Lead Conversion (CPL) – the number of leads you can attribute directly to the ad.
- Nurture touches – These are ad engagements from people who are in the end stages of the buyer’s journey and ready to buy.
- View Through Conversions – When someone sees your ad, doesn’t click but goes to your site. Yes, you can track this with the right tools. Isn’t modern marketing technology phenomenal!
- Page Visits – Number of people who land on a given remarketing landing page. Remarketing ads never go to your home page or another less relevant page on your site. Each landing page is directly aligned to the ad that leads to it.
- Conversions – What you consider a conversion depends on your remarketing goals. It may be a sale or signing up for your newsletter, for example.
- Customer Value – People are spending more and buying more frequently.
You may choose other measures depending on your goals and how Google remarketing works for you.
How Much Do Remarketing Ads Cost?
You might think that given the effectiveness of remarketing, it would cost a fortune. But Google search and display network ads are surprisingly affordable for the ad itself.
Like regular Google ads, your cost per click (CPC) depends on how competitive your industry is, keywords, and other factors. When it comes to furniture and home goods, eCommerce advertising is relatively unsaturated. While someone advertising technology might have to pay over $1.00 for a click, on average someone in furniture may pay $0.70-$0.80.
To keep costs low, it’s important to track your performance and optimize it. Ads that perform poorly get hit with poor Quality Scores. An ad account with a poor Quality Score pays as much as 400% more for the same ad space.
Good quality scores lower your per click costs. Running ads on AdWords is never a fix it and forget it task. It’s important to closely manage your account. Review your data. And adapt to keep your ad costs low, which brings us to our next point.
Get the Most Out of Your Remarketing Efforts
Remarketing is a great way to get a second chance with people who left your website without buying. It can also help you increase repeat visits and customer value. It’s easy to create an ad and get started with standard Google remarketing. But diving into the more complex elements that help you make the ad super relevant can take some time to master.

How to Heal Emotional Trauma
Author: Nanice Ellis
We tend to think of an emotional wound as the original traumatic experience – as the “thing†that happened to us, but the wound is actually the dis-empowering belief that we developed as a result of the traumatic experience
Why is it so difficult to heal emotional trauma? Maybe it is because we do not understand what our emotional wounds really are, and therefore we go about healing in ways that can never work.
When I was young, I was in a horrifically abusive relationship for over a year. Even though I was able to eventually “get out” and save myself, it took me many years to figure out how to heal the deep emotional wounds.
We tend to think of an emotional wound as the original traumatic experience – as the “thing” that happened to us, but the wound is actually the dis-empowering belief that we developed as a result of the traumatic experience.
In the search for emotional security, our natural response to any traumatic event is to make sense of it. We “make sense” of things by creating beliefs. Beliefs that we develop in response to traumatic experiences are Traumatic Beliefs. Because Traumatic Beliefs are disempowering and painful, they become emotional wounds.
The reason many people don’t heal is because they try to heal the original traumatic experience and not the Traumatic Belief. By understanding that emotional wounds are actually the Traumatic Beliefs that we hold about ourselves and/or the world, we have the power to heal.
When a child experiences himself as abandoned, for example, that child forms beliefs around abandonment in order to explain why he was abandoned. The child may answer the question, “Why?” by creating a belief that he was not good enough. The abandonment is the not the wound. The wound is the belief in unworthiness. In this case, healing involves releasing the Traumatic Belief of unworthiness.
Two people can experience the same trauma and have completely different responses, because they develop very different beliefs about the experience.
Traumatic Beliefs always create corresponding emotional needs which must be met in order to heal. The catch is that a Traumatic Belief also creates an invisible barrier that keeps the emotional need from being met. For example, if the Traumatic Belief is, “I am not worthy,” the emotional need is feeling worthy. If you could feel unconditionally worthy, the wound would heal. The problem is, if you believe that you are not worthy, you will block the feeling of worthiness because it does not align with your beliefs about worth. This is also why healing is so challenging.
When we have been wounded, we feel justified in holding onto Traumatic Beliefs. Part of us may even think that these beliefs keep us from getting hurt again, and the thought of releasing them makes us feel very vulnerable – without these beliefs, what will protect us? But, Traumatic Beliefs do not protect us in the first place. In fact, these beliefs are self-sabotaging by being self-fulfilling. When we look closely, it becomes apparent that these beliefs actually cause, attract and create more of what we do not want. All beliefs effect the quantum field that creates our reality, but Traumatic Beliefs have an even stronger influence on reality because they are fueled with intense emotional energy. Therefore, if we believe we are powerless, we attract situations to us that support that belief.
An essential key to healing is taking complete responsibility for your life and for your wounds. As long as you blame the outside world for your pain, you give away your power to heal. This is not about letting others off the hook who have harmed us. This is about empowering yourself to be whole. If you cannot find a way to take responsibility for your life experiences, then begin by taking responsibility for your beliefs. Regardless of what transpired in the outside world, you are the only one who thinks your thoughts and therefore you are responsible for creating and believing any Traumatic Beliefs. This means that you also have the power to release these beliefs, and, therefore, you can heal yourself.
Traumatic Beliefs disconnect you from who you really are because your true self could never believe that you are powerless or unworthy. When you accept these disempowering beliefs, you experience separation from your true self and this is the cause of pain and suffering. The pain is your inner guidance system alerting you to the disconnection so that you can heal by releasing incongruent beliefs.
The higher purpose of traumatic experiences is to point our attention to hidden or underlying beliefs that already exist in our psyche. The traumatic experience activates the hidden belief so that we are aware of it, in order to heal. This is the point. You cannot heal something that you are unaware of. The pain directs your attention to the belief that needs to be healed in order for you to awaken.
In order to heal, it is important that you uncover the Core Traumatic Belief(s) of the wound. There are four Core Traumatic Beliefs: Victimhood, Powerlessness, Worthlessness and Loss. All Traumatic Beliefs fall into one or more of these four categories.
When I was in that horrifically abusive relationship, the greatest of the wounds was the belief that I was a victim; causing me to live in great fear for many years, even after the abuse had ended. Because I was desperate to heal and have my life back, I finally looked deep into my own self. Eventually, what I understood was that I was feeling like a victim well before that relationship had ever manifested. The relationship overtly demonstrated my inner beliefs in the outer world in a way that I could not ignore.
Later, as an adult, the healing was remembering, at the deepest level, that I was responsible for my own life, and that my life was a reflection of all my beliefs. I discovered that the opposite of victim is not survivor. The opposite of victim is creator. When I remembered that I was the creator of my life, victimhood could no longer exist – and the wound was permanently healed.
The key to healing the Traumatic Belief of victimhood is waking up to who you really are and remembering that you are the creator of your life. Maybe you don’t understand how you created something, and you would certainly not consciously create a traumatic event that would make you feel victimized, nonetheless, we unconsciously create from hidden subconscious beliefs, and physical events in our lives give us clues to these underlying beliefs.
Once we become aware of theses disempowering beliefs, we have the opportunity to consciously heal them, by over-turning them, declaring their falsehood and turning toward a higher truth. In this case, the higher truth is I am the creator of my life. True power comes from learning to be a conscious creator, but this can only happen as we flush out unconscious beliefs and we align with the truth of who we really are.
Even before we experience any traumatic events, most of us are socialized to believe that the world has power over us. So, when a traumatic experience does unfold, the idea of being powerless is already in our belief system, therefore, powerlessness seems an appropriate way to make sense of a negative event.
Healing from the Traumatic Belief of powerlessness is embracing ones intrinsic power – not the power that comes from control, but rather the power that originates in the core of your being and connects you to the universe and all that is. Healing the Traumatic Belief of powerlessness is an emotional journey from powerless to powerful.
Of all the Traumatic Beliefs, worthlessness runs the deepest. We are programmed to believe that we are unworthy from the time we are very young. So when we experience trauma, and we search internally for a belief that will make sense of the experience, unworthiness quickly answers the question, “Why did this happen to me?”
Of course, unworthiness is a false belief and therefore it must be exposed in order to be released. When it is hidden, there is no need to pay attention but once it causes pain, you must do something about it. The good and bad news is that the pain will not go away until the false belief of unworthiness is released and you cease seeking proof of your worth in the outside world. The world cannot give or take away your worth because your worth is intrinsic and guaranteed. Absolute healing is attained when you discover and claim your unconditional worth.
Often, when we have an emotional wound, we believe that someone has taken something from us. No matter how hard we try, it appears impossible to retrieve what has been stolen. This search often keeps the wound alive – believing that we have lost something and it must be retrieved keeps us locked in a vicious cycle of perpetual hurt.
Loss does not necessarily create an emotional wound. We all experience loss – loss of an aging parent or loss of a relationship, for example. Loss is part of the flow of life. Grieving is a natural response to loss and it is the process of letting go. However, if we do not let go, loss can turn into an emotional wound. This occurs when a Traumatic Belief is formed about the loss; for example, beliefs like, “no one will ever love me again,” or “everyone I care about leaves me.” Again, it is the Traumatic Belief that creates the emotional wound and not the loss itself.
When loss creates an emotional wound, we often close down and cut ourselves off from the very thing that could heal us. If we develop a Traumatic Belief around losing love, we not only block potential new relationships, we cut ourselves off from self-love and even higher love. In other words, we do to ourselves what we fear others might do to us.
The healing is remembering that the Source of who you really are provides all that you need, if only you ask, allow and receive – by trusting something greater than the physical self, you align with the rhythm of the universe where the idea of loss does not exist. Inherent in all Traumatic Beliefs is the absolute truth of your existence.
How do we actually heal Traumatic Beliefs?
When we develop and feed wounds with our attention over the course of years, we begin to identify with the wound, or, better said, we create an identity around the wounded-self. So, now we are not just releasing a wound, we are letting go of our identity. The thing is, you are not and can never be a wounded identity. This is a false belief and a false identity. In order to heal, it is important that you begin to release the identification with the wound, and that you begin to see yourself as whole – not the wounded self, but the whole self. Who are you without this wound? This is who you really are, and this is who you must become again.
Emotional wounds are often left open because we continue to look to others to meet our emotional needs. In order to heal, we must take responsibility for our own emotional needs and we must find ways to meet them. So, instead of looking to others for love, for example, we must love ourselves. By giving ourselves love, we fill the wound, and we heal.
Transformational Forgiveness is not about forgiving another or forgiving ourselves, as much as it is about letting go of the beliefs that keep us trapped – as the prisoner of unhealed wounds. Ask yourself, “Do I want to heal more than I want to hold onto these beliefs?” If the answer is yes, it is time to let go of disempowering false beliefs.
In order to heal an emotional wound, emotions must be able to “process through” until completion. If we allow our emotions to come up over and over again without resolution, we are actually reactivating the wound and each time we do, it magnifies. Healing requires resolution. This means feeling your emotions completely and not pushing them down or away. The healing comes when you allow your emotions space to be experienced until the process is complete. In order to allow emotions to “process through” you must get in your body. Emotional wounds are stored in the body, and therefore the way to release them is by getting in your body and feeling your emotions until the process feels complete.
Since the mind does not know the difference between real and imagined, it is possible to go back to a past event and revise it in such a way that the wound automatically heals. The key to successful revision is giving your past-self a new set of beliefs that empower him or her to know your worth, power and connection to who you really are. In this way, you can revise your past-self to speak the truth, set a boundary or exercise personal power in a way that allows your past-self to rise up; ultimately avoiding the emotional trauma or responding to the traumatic event in a way that no wound was created.
For me, my complete healing came from the realization that the person whom I thought hurt me was actually in my life to save me, by physically demonstrating the emotional abuse that I was imposing on myself. Without him serving me in this way, how would I have been able to identify my feelings of victimhood, worthlessness and powerlessness that I carried from childhood? By understanding this deeper truth, my emotional pain transmuted into gratitude. There is always a deeper truth. If you haven’t uncovered a truth that sets you free, go deeper, and keep going until you find it.
Every thought and belief has a coinciding vibration. Fear is at the low end of the vibratory spectrum while love is at the high end. Emotional wounds are low vibratory beliefs about oneself and/or the world. The wound exists at a low vibration and it keeps you stagnated at this low vibration. If you were to consistently raise your vibration to a higher vibration and keep it there, the wound could not exist. In other words, if you turned your full attention toward love and forgiveness, the wound would dissolve because it cannot exist at a high vibration.
Healing requires commitment and consistency. Because trauma wires your brain for disempowering beliefs, emotional healing requires the re-wiring of your brain for empowering beliefs; this involves the development of new conscious thought patterns that are consistently practiced over a period of time.
Enlisting the help of a healing professional to assist you may exponentially quicken the healing process, but in the end you must do it for yourself. In healing yourself you discover the strength, courage and power to live your life the way it was intended to be lived. If you are here to help others heal, maybe you access the skills to do so, that could not have been acquired in any other manner than going through the process yourself.
The ultimate healing is the awakening to your power and worth. You cannot remember that you are unconditionally worthy and intrinsically powerful and still maintain emotional wounds. There is nothing that cannot be healed through the power of knowing your Real Self.

Is Racism in Gods Will?
Today we as Christians find ourselves in a battle like never before.
The moral value seems to be decaying more and more each day. Across this land we hear sermons and preachers speaking on topics such as homosexuality, transgender, the drug epidemic that’s plaguing our community. These are all topics that need to be dealt with and should be addressed.
But what about the evil of racism that’s in the church today that has caused division in the body of Christ and this nation?
The other day I saw a program on the news and they were at a White supremacy meeting and one of the gentlemen there had his face hidden and his reply when ask was I can’t show my face because I’m a Baptist preacher.
I remember about six months back to a year ago when it seemed as though every time I turned on the news we were hearing about rogue police brutality and how unarmed black men were being shot. And as one Pastor said that these weren’t just shootings, these were executions. At that moment I felt that some of my fellow none black Christian brothers cared. I would hear about the comments that Christian were posting on face book about the killings and defending the police officers who committed these murders and I must say that it broke my heart to hear from people that are Christians speak in this manner as though these lives had no value. God calls for unity in the body of Christ and I felt like there was no compassion in the church and what the African American community was going through during this time. Romans 12:15 says rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn. While some of us were mourning it seems like others were rejoicing. This by all means is not just a problem in the White churches but the Black churches are just as guilty. I remember racial comments and angry words against white people coming from people in the black church as well as the black community, and I knew that this was not right. I asked myself, where is the unity and the love for one another?
The whole idea of Racism and bigotry really comes down to value and worth.
When one race feels that they have more value or worth than another then that gives them the mindset that they are more superior. How can we as a body be unified if one race of people continues to feel they are greater than the other? One thing we know from the word of God is that when Jesus Christ shed his blood on Calvary is was for every human and that tells me that God values each person equally regardless of skin color or nationality.
Here are some scriptures that tell us that God requires unity in the Body of Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
I’m going to close with this:
Jesus said that the two greatest commandments were “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: love your neighbor as you love yourself. So let’s do our best as brothers and sisters in Christ regardless of our skin color to show love to one another as Christ has commanded us to do and to remain unified as a body and Stomp out this evil called racism and bigotry that has been infecting our church.

Shirley was very professional, proactive and patient with me when I was looking for a property to purchase.
Still remember she called me up right away after she was assigned to help me. During the phone conversation, she would ask me questions about my criteria, told me what I should be looking for in my case and budget. She then sent me a list of property that we would be viewing within a couple of days. During each viewing, she would tell me what I should be checking, small things that she observed and told me the pros and cons of each property.
I’ve learnt a lot of profession tips from Shirley after all the property viewing trips. I really appreciate her sincerity and her help during the entire process. | <urn:uuid:e7636b0b-f72b-4602-8ba4-f6355d1b9377> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.okay.com/zh-hk/building/%E6%B5%B7%E5%BE%B7%E5%A4%A7%E5%BB%88/1100 | 2020-09-23T18:43:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.977026 | 270 |

Both sides are beautiful! The quilt is handprinted and hand stitched with love, which makes it a sophisticated complement to any bedroom.

Nigel Ng @ Pleasance Courtyard
Culture Shocked is a crowd-pleasing Fringe debut from Nigel Ng, but could afford a little more creativity
It seems fitting that this show – detailing how Malaysian Nigel Ng has adopted to British culture – contains so many references to fish, because it is the Fringe equivalent of shooting our piscine friends in a barrel. For what better way to entertain your largely British audience than with a show full of broad UK stereotypes and mildly amusing foreigner observations about the idiosyncrasies of our sceptered isle?
Like, isn’t it weird how Boots sells sushi? Aren’t British people funny if you put fish in the microwave at work? And why don’t we like eating a whole fish (with head) in Asian restaurants? These are all perfectly reasonable observations, but they rarely get beyond being shallow and lazy; of course, the guffawing masses lap it up like the dregs of a rendang curry that they don’t even know isn’t Malaysian. It is a shame, because Ng is clearly a talented performer with a cheeky persona and slick audience patter.
There are, however, assured flashes of depth here, as in Ng’s recurring wonder that he can drink British tap water without suffering aqueous defecation, or his mother’s disbelief at our tiny packets of rice: in Malaysia, the smallest you can buy is 5kg, apparently. Generally, his work on how Asians are perceived by westerners – for example, the casual racism of the American phrase ‘legal alien’ – has more bite and is therefore more successful. It's unfortunate that so much time is spent bashing the Brits, particularly in a sour takedown of the shaven-headed Butlins brigade.
Ng is a crowd-pleaser, and very television-friendly, but Culture Shocked is ultimately a limiting hour, often failing to spark into originality.

Our wisdom flows so sweet. Taste and see…
TRANSMIT - initiate the ka signal - RECEIVE - initiate the Book of the Dead - FOR HE WOULD ARISE A WALKING DISEASE, A PLAGUE UPON MANKIND - illumine the Cult of Aten - WITNESS - The Mummy.
Listen, sweetling. The whisper of antediluvian linen over sand-kissed stone… Not mere zombies, these are the ancient dead. Their bodies and souls have been dissected, some vital parts removed, some new parts added. The cries of the unquiet dead echo between the rock faces, on occasion, but mostly it is silence, silence that desiccates sanity. That is the sound of the mummies dwelling in the Valley of the Sun God.
Ancient Egyptians believed in an afterlife of immortality. Parts of the human soul would leave the body after death, journey through the underworld to pass judgement and finally reunite to energise the effective being in the afterlife. The elaborate ceremonies and rituals surrounding the dead were exceedingly important, sweetling, and are well documented in the archaeological findings of your kind. Mummification, casting of spells, written instructions and grave goods were all crucial to ensure the deceased had everything they needed to succeed on their journey and in their afterlife.
In rare cases, by some magical, mystical means, their life could be extended past physical death – like in the case of the mummies of The Kingdom. These mummies, the rulers of Cairo's underworld, found themselves in an undying state as a result of flukes and chance. They were ordinary people passionate about immortality, like most Egyptians. Whether a blessing or a curse, their ka – life force – never left their body after their passing and they have since been stuck in a state between the living and the dead, their minds and personalities intact.
Centuries earlier, death had already been cheated by a group with much darker intentions, and by very different methods – the Atenists. Always looking to pervert and subsume tradition and common beliefs, the Aten cultists conducted a different kind of burial ritual than the customary one, constructed to quicken the dead body in this world rather than in the next, to forever live in the glory of their dark god. Death could not be an escape from the duties of their faith. Rituals and symbolic ceremonies were twisted into something cruel, embracing death instead of life. Funerary texts and magical spells were altered to restrain the deceased rather than guide them to the fields of Aaru.
These undying would be the the voice of Aten, a voice made of preserved flesh. Imagine them, sweetling. Bound to the table, still alive, as metal tools enter their nose, stirring their brains, souls torn apart, and what was left, gibbering and mad, held together by bandages and wards -- denied the scales of Anubis or the cycle of Maat. The process was a grotesque success. The Marya of that time fought hundreds of these living mummies during the revolt against Akhenaten.
When sunrise shone upon the victors, and Aten's cultists had been culled and scattered to the winds, the mummies were pacified and lulled to sleep by the Sentinels. In unmarked tombs, they have slumbered deeply for three thousand years. But now, something stirs and awakes them. The powers that confined them are failing. They are free. They act on embedded instructions and blind faith, driven insane by the whispers that command them.
We spy the varied mummy kinds. We see the Vessels of Aten. We see the shamblers, the least preserved, ambulating skin and bones. Linen wraps fall and dangle from them as they lurch through the ancient city of their burial. Their mortal lives ended in ritual sacrifice, transforming them into the mouthpieces of Aten. Final death would be a blessing for these unfortunates. They are direct conduits to the dreams of the Sleepers, their sanity pulverised to paste that lubricates the titanic thoughts of their gods. They channel those chthonic dreams and deliver the sun god's wishes to all true believers. Listen. Their whispers become chants become screams. Do not listen for too long.
We spy the Wrath of Aten. We see the gargantuan dead. In their fragmented memories, echoing in the mausoleum of their skulls, they can faintly remember their time as highly devoted cultists, willingly sacrificing their bodies. They were ritualistically bathed in Filth-contaminated water. Their pickled flesh hosts a plethora of vile spirits and parasitic demons, stretching and swelling their bodies to inhuman symmetry.
We see the Hands of Aten. The most devoted -- their enemies say the most insane -- of the sun god's children. They boast the greatest success with the bending of necromantic energies. In their mortal life, they were talented magi, anima flowing in their veins. They wilfully renounced all possibility of an afterlife, chaining their souls to their bodies. Neither dead nor living, they walk between. Their wait is over. Their faith repaid. They rise to the baking desert heat. They take their place as the honour guard of the rising Black Pharaoh.
The Sol Invictus took the mummification knowledge of their elder sister cults, and tried to replicate the process, and perhaps improve it. There is dangerous wisdom there, sweetling, if you dare to prod it. It requires a fresh corpse, infected by the Filth. It then requires the special embalming fluid of the Sol Invictus of the past. Once this is poured down the cadaver's throat, it only takes three thousand years or so. How does one make the time fly?
ACCESSING… The secret wisdoms…
The Sol Invictus set about to create their own mummies in service to the Dreaming Ones. It did not quite work out. They admired the ends, but they did not respect the rituals as the Atenists had. Something was lost in translation. And so they created the Filth-charged walking dead, akin to the zombies, without the chthonic powers that come from the subtle dissection and rearrangement of the soul as in the mummy proper.

It was Joy and Grace who were felt led to start ministry among the mothers. They go twice a week just offering themselves for whatever they want help with. The ministry name is fitting for
what they are doing. HANDS: Helping, Accepting, Nurturing, Discipling and Serving.
Sometimes, visiting teams would serve with them in Bible studies, cleaning-up, repairs, etc. We've conducted medical and dental missions for these families.
The need of these families is extensive. Relationships and finances are the most common. A number are living together, still unmarried. Some have other families somewhere else. They are there
without the knowledge of their original families. They don't have steady source of income. Some can only work for up to a few days a week. So, they go into scanvenging garbage to find something
sellable. It is crazy and hard, so often they scape through booze and gambling. The cycle of poverty is not easy to be free from. | <urn:uuid:f3437bab-de32-4af3-a703-2b79d442ece5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.ywamppc.org/ministries/hands/ | 2020-09-23T20:55:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400212039.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923175652-20200923205652-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.980076 | 207 |

Health is Above All! In the cold season, in winter or early spring, it is very easy to catch a cold and get sick. In order to be fully armed in the fight against cold and frost, special equipment is needed.
The best protection for a modern man from the cold piercing wind or freezing temperatures overboard is to buy high-quality and comfortable thermal underwear, which can be in our store. This term has recently entered the list of popular goods for men’s use. However, the advantage of using thin and warm underpants, underpants and a thermal t-shirt has already been appreciated by many. Today, this part of the wardrobe confidently won the mandatory position in the list of clothes of a modern man.
The main function of this type of underwear is protection in the cold season. Men’s thermal underwear is made from a special fabric that retains heat well and removes moisture to the outside. It is these characteristics that make it simply indispensable for men. For the production of thermal underwear, various types of fabrics are used, the most popular ones are polyester, elastane, a mixture of synthetics with wool and 100% cotton. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages.
Choosing underwear you need to focus on the features of its purpose. For ordinary socks, not dense underwear made of synthetics, cotton or bamboo is suitable. The latter is gaining more and more popularity due to its special qualities: elasticity, ability to remove moisture, hypoallergenic properties. Its disadvantage is the high price. Cotton is relatively inexpensive, perfectly retains heat, but easily absorbs moisture. An alternative can be artificial tissue, which perfectly removes sweat, leaving the body dry, does not get wet and does not absorb odors.
If you plan to engage in active winter sports: skiing, ice skating, snowboarding or spend time on a frozen lake with a fishing rod in your hands, then you need more effective protection. Wear two-layer thermal underwear made from a mixture of synthetic fibers and wool. The top layer copes with moisture perfectly, and the bottom, made of merino wool, retains heat. Such a step will warm you even in the most severe frosts.
For allergy sufferers, there is a special three-layer model in which a lower ball with hypoallergenic properties is added.
When choosing thermal underwear, be guided by the following:
The size. It must be exactly yours, no more and no less. It is assumed that this type of clothing is required to fit the figure well, not to restrict movements and not to reflect on what is worn on top.
Cut. Ideally, if the model is seamless, which is quite possible in a synthetic version. If the seams are still there, then they should be thin, invisible.
Color, style. It is best to choose a kit – a jacket and underpants – in one style. What if you suddenly have to undress? Clothing of one style and color looks more harmonious, you will feel confident and stylish.
Our online store of Menbox thermal underwear offers you to insulate yourself: buy thermal underwear as a set, or purchase separately high-quality, comfortable and stylish underpants, as well as sweaters.
Ukraine is not Italy and there are plenty of cold days in the year. So why freeze and hurt? In high-quality and warm underwear from the best manufacturers, you will always feel confident and comfortable!
And remember – it is easier to buy thermal underwear in Kiev or in any other city in Ukraine via the Internet 😉 A large selection, a comfortable armchair in front of the monitor and detailed photos will make it possible to choose the exact model.
Thongs, tanga, Brazilian, bikini – frank models of men’s underpants, which are especially popular among some of the male population. Such styles are not intended for daily wear, they are distinguished by a special cut and design aimed at the maximum demonstration of certain parts of the body and contributing to the increase of man’s sexuality. This clothing is chosen by bodybuilders, lovers of super-tight jeans, and is also used as erotic lingerie. | <urn:uuid:4aaeb582-4624-4dd8-968b-4dd50d366042> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://ecrinicgiyim.com/post317 | 2020-09-25T04:05:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.947662 | 854 |

The morning sun serenely warms and gilds
The rye and corn still damp in dewy fields,
The sky has kept the freshness of the night.
One wanders out just for the sake of it,
Beside the river with dim yellow weeds,
Along a grass path edged by alder-trees.
The air is sharp. At times a bird will soar,
Bearing some honey from the hedge, or straw,
And it’s reflection lingers, when it’s gone.
But it delights the pensive man,
For, bright and gentle, with a swift caress
It’s stirred his dream of wondrous happiness,
Recalled a girl, the charming vision,
The white and sparkling apparition
The poet dreams of, and the man holds dear,
Invoking in his prayers, though some may sneer,
The spouse he has found at last, the soul adored
Which, from the first, his soul has mourned, implored. | <urn:uuid:f7fce217-fe5a-4df5-8ed5-8d301176561a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://geecologist.org/2010/08/la-bonne-chanson/ | 2020-09-25T04:38:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.915853 | 220 |
Fianna Fail will be announcing today that they will be the abolition of stamp duty for first time buyers and the removal of any ceiling on the value of the property being bought.
According to the Irish Examiner
Senior Fianna Fáil strategists hope that this extraordinary change on stamp duty will help shore up support for the party after a terrible first four days of the campaign.
They also hope it will draw a line under the controversy surrounding the payment of £30,000 sterling in the 1990s to the Taoiseach’s former partner Celia Larkin, by a Manchester businessman whose house they were renting at the time.
….so, to distract people from what type of stamp duty resulted in Celia Larkin receiving £30k sterling from Bertie’s landlord the strategic planners have lumped for a manifesto policy that will put stamp duty full square in the headlines for a day or two.
The fact that the abolition would be backdated to the 30th of April is puported to be a measure to ‘remove uncertainty in the market’.
This is classic Zapp Brannigan politics. FF have for months resisted proposals to amend the Stamp Duty regime. They’ve postponed the problem until it became a crisis and, lo and behold, the solution arrives in the form of a bribe to the electorate that will cost (according to the Examiner) “several hundred million euros per annum”.
Given that (as IrishElection.com points out in detail in a manner that reminds me of the end of “The Usual Suspects”) FF has consistently and dogmatically resisted any call to change the stamp duty regime on the grounds that it would:
- Cost 1000s of jobs
- Likely as not have no real effect with the money going to developers instead
- Only amount to auction politics, which FF wouldn’t do
this represents a U-Turn on a staggering scale. A bit like a famous Danish beer, Fianna Fail don’t do auction politics. But if they did it’d be the best auction politics in the world. And just like said beer, too much quaffing from that trough will have you waking up with a massive headache feeling wretched and wondering what the hell you thought you were doing the night before.
Irish Elections rightly ask
Why was this not included in Fianna Fail’s Economic Policy document last week or yesterday?
To echo Minister Cowen’s own challenge to Fine Gael’s Manifesto – how has this been costed in?
What happens if there shortfall in growth forecasts? Will first time buyers be given a choice between their stamp-duty free homes or gardaà to police the estate or nurses to work in the local hospital, which may or may not get built because there might not be enough money for a hospital and a primary school.
If it looks too good to be true it probably is. On Morning Ireland this morning George Lee’s view is that the measure would cause property prices to rise rather than plateau which will not address the underlying economic issue of affordability of housing for first time buyers.
Hot on the heels of nurses and coppers, it’s the Prison Officers!!
The Prison Officer’s Association is having it’s conference from today in sunny Sligo.
Apparently their members are a bit peeved at the Minister for Justice seeking accountability from the prison officers one or some of whom, he claimed, must have been complicit in smuggling in the phone used to ring a national radio programme.
They’ve pointed out that due to cuts in staff numbers on prison landings overall security is down 20% and that while Sunday visits have been permitted for some criminals no extra staff have been rostered to cover these visits allowing contraband and phones to be smuggled in.
Remind me again who is responsible for staffing numbers, resources and policies in the Prison Service?
Could it be the same person who jumped on the bait of the ‘blue flue’ (which had not been mentioned by the GRA) and made the possibility of a ‘blue flu’ an election sound bite? | <urn:uuid:d7ff5b68-e8af-4b1d-9d4e-bf2904c6e00d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://obriend.info/2007/05/03/stamp-duty/ | 2020-09-25T04:41:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.956944 | 874 |

The title of the article is “Year After Obama Won Nobel, World Looks for Signs of Peace”. There are two interesting things about the article. First, that it’s from ABC and doesn’t contain overwhelming support for President Barack Obama (D-USA). The second is that the title has obviously been watered down. Reading the content of the article, it’s quite evident that the title should have been “Year After Obama Won Nobel, World Looks for Signs He Deserved It”.
Even the first paragraph makes that clear.
One year after the Nobel prize jury made its controversial decision to award President Obama the prize for world peace, a larger jury is still waiting for the president to live up to those lofty expectations.
The truth is, he didn’t deserve it. He hadn’t done anything that would put him in line for such an award, and you don’t give out Nobel Peace prizes based on what you think the person might do sometime in the future. It’s quite evident that’s what the Nobel prize jury did, though. And, after a year, it’s even more apparent that they were foolish to do so.
Don’t believe me?
An untested and untried Obama accepted the Nobel Prize for Peace last year, just months into his presidency. He was selected, prize committee chairman Thorbjorn Jagland said, not for what he had accomplished but for the promise of what he would accomplish.
Remember that the deadline for nominations for the prize is the 1st of February. Obama had been in office for 11 days. | <urn:uuid:ba1345d0-c3f0-49e1-8f5e-be4c00e4b0d2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.chrisofrights.com/2010/10/interesting-article-on-abc-news.html | 2020-09-25T04:02:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.974406 | 339 |

Many workplaces are full of potential dangers. From warehouse machinery to the office copy machine, anything can injure an employee as he or she goes about the day. Stay safe by practicing a few common-sense maneuvers. No one wants to file a claim on the job.
Report any Dangerous Issues
Supervisors can’t be everywhere on a job site or within a corporate building. It’s the responsibility of the employees to keep a weathered eye out for any problems. Report any unusual circumstances, such as leaks or machinery overheating, to the managers as soon as possible. You can avoid injuries to yourself and others when attentive employees are on the job. Sensors and alarms can only perform some of the work.
Wear Safety Gear
A simple way to prioritize safety on the job is by wearing the proper gear. Wear fire-resistant clothing, gloves, steel-toed shoes and goggles whenever necessary. Consider the industry that you work in to determine the right gear.
Office workers may not need protective eyewear at their desks, but speaking to a technician in a service center at times might prompt the use of them. An accident can occur in less than a second when the proper gear isn’t worn. Losing eyesight, limb use and other serious injuries are all realities unless safety protocols are always followed.
Discuss Injuries Immediately
At times, an injury occurs with even the best safety records. Report the injury to a manager right away. The manager should point the employee to the proper facilities for medical care. A documented report should follow this situation.
As the injury is dealt with, be aware of any worker’s compensation claim submitted by the employer. You may need to consult a workers comp attorney Portland OR so that your rights are upheld throughout the process.
Research your rights if a worker’s compensation claim becomes a long-term disability. You deserve a fair settlement or payment terms in order to move forward from an injury. Work alongside your lawyer if necessary. Everyone deserves a fair shake in the working world. | <urn:uuid:ec5c5bd3-d13b-4d2d-b9ce-7f7c8735a571> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.newsinyourpocket.com/avoiding-a-claim-staying-safe-at-work/ | 2020-09-25T02:53:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.952464 | 418 |

The Praise of Folly study guide contains a biography of Desiderius Erasmus, literature essays, a complete e-text, quiz questions, major themes, characters, and a full summary and analysis. Husbands and wives are able to overlook each other's flaws and conceive of their spouse as ideal. Indeed, it would be difficult to have a child without the help of Folly. Friendship also benefits from her, for friends have to convince themselves that their friends' shortcomings are insignificant and their vices are their virtues. The fact that any human can find pleasure in another human's company, despite that human's great flaws and vices, is due to Folly.
The Praise of Folly was written in 1509 to amuse Sir Thomas More, Erasmus's close friend and intellectual counterpart. Erasmus wrote in the preface to the work that he was reflecting upon the closeness of the Greek word for folly, Moria, and More's own last name.
In Praise of Folly Desiderius Erasmus Translated by John Wilson 1688. by. Desiderius Erasmus. About In Praise of Folly by Desiderius Erasmus. The first thing was your surname of. More, which comes so near the word Moriae (folly) as you are far from the thing. And that you are. so, all the world will cleat you. In the next place, I conceived this exercise of wit would not be least. approved by you; inasmuch as you are wont to be delighted with such kind of mirth, that is to say, neither unlearned, if I am not mistaken, not altogether insipid, and in the whole course of your life. not who, with the hog that made his last will and testament, of which also even St. Jerome makes. And therefore if they please, let them suppose I played at tables for my diversion, or if. they had rather have it so, that I rode on a hobbyhorse. For what injustice is it that when we allow.
Praise of Folly book. Its dazzling mixture of fantasy and satire is narrated by a personification of Folly, dressed as a jester, who celebrates youth, pleasure, drunkenness and sexual desire, and goes on to lambast human pretensions, foibles and frailties, to mock theologians and monks and to praise the folly' of simple Christian piety.
The Praise of Folly (Latin: Stultitiae Laus) is an essay written in Latin in 1509 by Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam and first printed in 1511. The essay is narrated in the voice of a personified Folly, who extols her virtues and explains how she is unjustly decried by her critics
In Erasmus' work The Praise of Folly, the narrator delivers a speech praising Folly with the following: "And to whom is it generally agreed life owes its beginning if not to me? For it certainly isn't the spear of mighty-fathered' Pallas or the shield of cloud-gathering' Jupiter which fathers and propagates the human race,"1. Here the narrator, who is Folly herself, tries to put herself above everyone else, even the Gods on Olympus
Gigs seen live by. Nobody has seen In Praise of Folly live yet! Last updated: 22 May 2019, 09:11 Etc/UTC.
Along with the Praise of Folly, Oneworld has included here "Pope Julius Barred from Heaven", a brief skit that has the warmongering pontiff arguing with St Peter about his fate in the afterlife ("won't the doors open? I guess the lock's been changed, or tampered with"); nine of Erasmus's "Adages" (common sayings of the time, drolly expanded and explained); and a long and useful essay by the translator about Erasmus and his times. Don't think we don't notice these things. How they've kept the price so reasonable is a mystery. | <urn:uuid:73f3e5ed-9d24-4482-8ac8-2149c56e7e60> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://albums.addictions-17.fr/87604/praise-of-folly-as-if-every-song-would-be-the-last-album-download-mp3.html | 2020-09-25T02:44:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.961416 | 886 |
What if I told you that you could spend some time on yourself for the first time in forever and you could go home and have your family appreciate you more than they ever have?
What if I told you that you would be provided safe sanctuary to tell your deepest, darkest secrets that have you held hostage to pain, shame and humiliation…and you won’t burst into flames of disgrace, but rather be held in a protective loving embrace by your new sisters?
What if I told you that you won’t have to lift a finger to cook or clean or wash or anything? That you will have two handsome men taking your orders and loving the fact that they get to provide you with a safe space to heal and have a break away from life?
What if I told you that you will discover what’s possible in love and support – so much that you’ll never go back to doubting what you are allowed to be, do and have? That you will implement your new found normal within a week of coming home?
All of this and so much more is what has happened on our REVIVE retreats to date.
Counting the days until our next REVIVE Retreat Fiji
In 2017 Amanda made the decision to take her annual retreat to Fiji – the country and sanctuary that is ideal to heal and support the feminine.
A country that can only be described as warm, loving and home to the soul looking to refill its cup. Our REVIVE Retreat will be on the Coral Coast in Fiji until I run out of women to support.
The energy of this private villa has to be experienced to give you the true essence of what is possible here. Fear of judgement gets left in your port of departure. Stuck stories disappear as you travel across the ocean. It all begins the moment we meet at the airport.
The REVIVE Retreat is specifically designed to get you to …. slow …. down!
Fiji Time is a real, natural phenomenon and just what the doctor ordered. We will have time to gaze at the ocean, solidify new friendships, learn about local culture and cuisine, have our hosts John and Watson asking us really important questions like, would you like a cocktail with or without alcohol.
Most of all, you will have more than enough time to heal your emotional burdens (that you know about) as well as all the ones you didn’t realise were holding you prisoner, once and for all.
Truly, they will be left in a blue bubble that is the coral atoll at our back door. They will be healed and transformed into the most exquisite brain corals you’ll ever see.
Everything you need to heal will be brought to the surface, and with Amanda’s unique energy environment, it will be swept into the Pacific to be healed across all time and space.
STRICTLY LIMITED TO 8 PARTICIPANTS AND IT WILL SELL OUT … SO SECURE YOUR EARLY BIRD SPOT ASAP.
Limited numbers means that everyone gets heard, everyone gets supported and the tiniest details get healed. It’s a unique retreat with wondrous results. You have the chance to secure the EARLY BIRD rate with the non-refundable deposit of AU$550 and then regular monthly payments with a small administration fee or pay the EARLY BIRD rate in full and start counting the sleeps until we arrive in Nadi.

I cannot recommend the CARMY Retreat highly enough. The amount of valuable information, knowledge, strength and confidenceI got from the retreat was truly amazing. The value for money was incredible.
“What will the CARMY Retreat offer you? From personal experience I can tell you that you will get to know some wonderful women in a gorgeous setting. You will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with the amazing Amanda Foy. You will come back rejuvenated and with a new perspective on your life. It’s not just a holiday though. It’s an opportunity to really look at those beliefs and years that are holding you back. And decide what you want to do about them.
If you are brave enough, a retreat with Amanda could change your life.
I am so glad that I decided it was worth the investment. I’m still reaping the benefits today.
This trip exceeded any expectation I had and could have ever dreamed of. I don’t know how to put what took place in one short week into words. The person who left Australia was not the same one who returned. I returned with the spark I was longing for. I found confidence, inner strength, clarity, clear values and priorities, joy and love. After feeling so disconnected for a very long time, it’s amazing to feel this again. To allow myself to feel this again. I also found a unique bond with eight amazing women, who I had just met, that will last a lifetime.
Thank you Amanda for giving me this most amazing experience. What a wonderful gift; you bring the magic out in everybody that crosses your path.
Thank you for a wonderful retreat. Loved the location and the people I shared the whole experience with. I loved the flexibility of the days and the availability to share thoughts and experiences and stories with similar women. You created a safe environment, a respectful environment… not just with the other guests but with the staff at the villa as well. I would definitely come to another retreat in the future.
Thank you so very much for sharing your gifts with me, I hope I’ll be back for another retreat. I did not fully understand exactly what this was all about at first. Now?! WOW! This brilliant idea of yours by organising a Fiji retreat has changed and will keep on changing my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me find some peace within me.
Thank you for creating a restful space and opportunity to get away from it all. I am so grateful for who you are in the world and am excited to see what you create next.
Thank you for taking the structure and going with the flow. This has been amazing. The ability to relax and flow with the connections, sharing and conversation was perfect.

Photography: Capturing life through my lens from my perspective while integrating my own life’s experiences. There. It took me a while to figure out why my photography can never look like anyone else’s and why I shoot the way I do. That is my photography lesson for this day. I continually strive to stay up on today’s photography and offerings, but I have no desire for my photography to look like anyone else’s. I love uniqueness and always have. Striving to capture a unique image for my clients tops the list of motives for what I do. ‘Capturing special moments for a lifetime of memories’ has been my motto since the inception of my business in 2000. I continue to remember these words every time I turn my camera on my subjects. Having said that, I continue.
I cannot believe it has been 3 months since my last post. Where has the time gone? I think I have the answer to that question.
This photographer as well as her associates have been busy, busy documenting weddings, families, high school seniors and children. It has been a quarter of a year of almost constant shooting and we are always honored to be called on by so many.
I have never been one of those photographers who could limit myself to a certain genre of photography. I have been told I should, but what would I leave out? In every instance, and in whatever/whoever I am shooting, I find myself in my ‘element’. I think to myself, ‘now this is what I want to do’. That is, until the next shoot of a totally different type. Then, again, I think to myself, ‘now this is what I want to do’, etc. I think you understand where I am going. So…I thought it best to just share some of the images I have captured over the last few months. I have many more to share and will do so when I get back to this blog.
I hope you enjoy this mix of images–and I’d be remiss not to include a couple of my Nashville, TN wedding images, so they are here, too. ust a few I grabbed in a hurry off my desktop.
And, if you follow us along on our facebook page, you will notice we also love shooting scenics around our gorgeous island and area. You can check out a few of those at: https://www.facebook.com/ameliaislandscenes.
Here’s one to enjoy.

Vaccines can be blamed for illnesses without proof, holds EU top court
London: The highest court of the European Union ruled that courts can consider whether a vaccination led to someone developing an illness even when there is no scientific proof.
The decision was issued in relation to the case of a Frenchman known as J W, who was immunised against hepatitis B in late 1998-99.
After the case went to France's Court of Cassation, it was brought to the European Union.
The EU's top court said that despite the lack of scientific consensus on the issue, a vaccine could be considered defective if there is "specific and consistent evidence," including the time between a vaccine's administration, the individual's previous state of health, the lack of any family history of the disease and a significant number of reported cases of the disease occurring following vaccination.
In a statement, the court said that such factors could lead a national court to conclude that "the administering of the vaccine is the most plausible explanation" for the disease and that "the vaccine therefore does not offer the safety that one is entitled to expect." It did not rule on the specific French case.
Sanofi Pasteur did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Some vaccine experts slammed the ruling, saying the court's threshold for linking a vaccine to side effects is too low.
Paul Offit, a paediatrician and vaccines expert at the University of Pennsylvania, said the criteria used by the court made no sense - and are similar to those used by vaccine injury compensation programs in the United States.
"Using those criteria, you could reasonably make the case that someone should be compensated for developing leukemia after eating a peanut butter sandwich," he said. | <urn:uuid:c2a64268-0e97-45d7-bba0-6a61e25cc640> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://business.medicaldialogues.in/vaccines-can-be-blamed-for-illnesses-without-proof-holds-eu-top-court | 2020-09-25T05:07:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.970721 | 347 |
Made in Italy by GD Arredamenti
Rialto is the bathroom range created with furniture from the Fortuna Gold collection by GD Arredamenti.
The Rialto bathroom is made from solid, lacquered Lime wood and finished with wooden panelling, upon request.
A 6 cm-thick marble top is recommended.
The upper cabinets have a sliding door
This bathroom collection take its name from the “Rialto Bridge” (Ponte di Rialto) in Venice, Italy.
Around the 11th century, Venice’s precious market was transferred to the area around Rialto, along the eastern bank of the “Grand Canal” (Canal Grande).
The growing importance of this “square” of trade and social gatherings increased the amount of people walking across the floating bridge that connected the two banks.
It was originally built with wood, but it was only in 1591 that it became possible to admire the current “Rialto Bridge” (Ponte di Rialto).
It is a Venetian icon and example of extraordinary architecture built over the water and also a symbol of the union between the ‘lands’ of Venice. | <urn:uuid:19eab3df-6856-4314-84eb-62a409748c0a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://cadoro.ae/collections/furniture/bathrooms/luxury-bathrooms/ | 2020-09-25T02:55:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.95205 | 255 |
At today’s press conference on the Coronavirus Vice President Pence painted an unrealistic rosy picture and seemingly eschewing science, which he has been prone to do, never recommended that we wear masks. He did however say several times that we should pray. Now let’s be clear we should wear masks, we should practice social distancing, we should avoid large gatherings and we should do all those things because it has proven to be the best way to slow the spread of the virus and make no mistake the Lord does expect that we will take care of ourselves. That we will treat ourselves with love and consideration. Because as it is written in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20:
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
So Pence was half right.
We must do what is medically prudent to protect ourselves. However it would be wrong to openly dismiss or mock his calling for us to pray as a nation. Prayer is after all a very powerful tool and if we have faith in HIM the Lord is our most powerful ally. 1 John 5:14-15 states:
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
We know that it is precisely in times like this that Satan will try to shake the faith of even the strongest. He will ask them to look to the heavens and ask the Lord why have you foresaken us. But it also precisely at these times that we must lean on our faith, open our hearts and remember that we are children of the Lord and even if we do not understand why some things are taking place know this, HE still walks with us, still breathes life into us each day and HE does so because HE loves us and will never turn away from us. The Bible tells us this in many verses including Deuteronomy 31:8:
8 It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”
And Isaiah 41:10:
10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
There are times when I have doubt, when my body is weaken from illness and fear creeps into my mind. It is at those times that I call on my faith to strengthen me and guide me back to my spiritual journey. I empty my mind, close my eyes and talk to the Lord. I tell HIM that I believe in HIM, his son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and it is with this faith that I cast aside my fears and replace them with the belief that it is at HIS hand that I shall be healed. But I am also acutely aware that prayer for prayer sake is not enough. It is important that I remember that my prayers can only only work to revive my mind, body and soul with the Lord and I can only be with the Lord if I truly have faith in HIM.
So in these troubling times take the necessary steps to protect yourself and those around you. But also believe and lean on your faith. Take the Vice President’s advice and pray because the Lord is listening. | <urn:uuid:5935d036-264f-4bc2-947b-eb55f9214ad1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://carlsplace.net/2020/06/27/so-pence-was-half-right/ | 2020-09-25T02:45:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.97209 | 741 |

Ibogaine hydrochloride (HCl)
As of 2016 there are many different forms of ibogaine available, spanning the gamut from whole root powder, which contains extremely minute amounts of ibogaine, and has very little effect when used with the intention of mitigating opioid withdrawal symptoms; to highly-purified, 99.7% pure ibogaine hydrochloride (HCl), at the other end of the spectrum.
At Clear Sky Recovery’s ibogaine treatment center in Cancun, we use 99.7% pure pharmaceutical grade ibogaine hydrochloride (HCl). We do not use cheaper, semi-synthetic ibogaine derived from Voacanga africana; TA (total alkaloid); or PTA (purified total alkaloid) extracts.
Our raw materials originated in Cameroon (not Gabon), via a farmer’s co-op that has been cultivating Tabernanthe iboga for our use since the mid-1990s, utilizing best practices for eco-friendly, sustainable agriculture. We do not use black or grey market materials of unknown origin or purity.
Our ibogaine hydrochloride was manufactured exclusively for our use at a cGMP compliant laboratory that conforms to extremely stringent USFDA guidelines. The ibogaine hydrochloride used by Clear Sky Recovery attains the highest purity levels possible when utilizing natural product chemistry; our materials are certified 99.7% pure via HPLC assay.
All ibogaine is not the same. Different materials can have significantly disparate effects. The ibogaine we use at Clear Sky Recovery is identical to the materials used in all monographs that have been published in peer-reviewed journals to date, demonstrating ibogaine’s putative ability to attenuate withdrawal symptoms from poly-substance abuse disorders.
We offer the world’s safest, most effective ibogaine detox program, and administer the highest-quality ibogaine hydrochloride that exists on planet Earth.
The FutureCell Culture Technology
The Earth’s ibogaine supply is decreasing. Dramatically increased world-wide demand, has significantly reduced the available supply. Over-harvesting and black-market sales are becoming significant problems in Gabon and Cameroon.
Ibogaine hydrochloride is sourced from the root bark of Tabernanthe iboga. Obtaining the bark is, in and of itself, an extremely time-consuming process with much of the de-barking done by hand. It requires approximately one kilo (1kg.) of root bark, to produce 1-1.5gm. of ibogaine HCl (a typical “flood” dose).
To put this into perspective, it takes approximately 1 ton of root bark, to produce one kilo (1 kg.) of ibogaine hydrochloride (ibogaine HCl).
The current situation is not sustainable.
In the near-term future we will fully transition to utilizing cell-culture technology to produce ibogaine HCl. To compress and simplify the overall concept: cell-culture technology is not an extraction or synthesis; it amounts to cloning ibogaine and then pushing the fast-forward button. From scarcity to abundance, almost instantly.
The remaining obstacles to surmount are financial, not technical. Cost per dose is far too high, but decreasing rapidly. The tipping point, where utilizing cell-culture technology to mass-produce ibogaine hydrochloride (HCl) becomes cost-effective and commercially viable, is roughly three years from now.
Please note: Clear Sky Recovery is an ibogaine treatment facility, we do not sell ibogaine. | <urn:uuid:caaf4434-70b7-4214-8b1e-be1556db1ad2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://clearskyibogaine.com/ibogaine-hci/ | 2020-09-25T03:13:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.89359 | 767 |
It’s no secret that the coronavirus has effectively altered sports history.
The NBA, NCAA, NHL, MLB, and PGA have already made wise decisions to cancel or suspend their biggest events of the year to cut down the spread of COVID-19.
However, one other major sports league has yet to make a decision on its biggest event of the spring. In a statement released yesterday by NFL Football Operations, the league stated the reasoning behind canceling multiple events scheduled in March, but did not announce a definite decision on April’s NFL Draft in Las Vegas.
“These decisions were made consistent with the league’s primary concern to protect the health of club and league employees, combine participants, and public,” the statement said. “We will continue to closely monitor developments, consult with leading experts and be prepared to make any other changes necessary as circumstances warrant.”
The NFL’s decision here should be easy.
Postpone the NFL Draft.
While the league did decide to cancel smaller events that were set to take place in March, such as the NFL’s annual league meeting, the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) combine, and regional combines, it’s becoming obvious that decisive action to postpone the NFL Draft, which is scheduled to begin on April 23, is urgent.
As currently constructed, the NFL still plans to hold one of the largest sports gatherings of the year just weeks from now.
Last year’s NFL Draft in Nashville drew an estimated 600,000 people, and in 2018 more than 200,000 attended the three-day event in Dallas. With this year’s taking place in Sin City, crowd numbers have the potential to spike even higher.
Anthony Fauci, head of infectious diseases at the National Institutes of Health, spoke at a congressional hearing on Wednesday and warned the NBA of the risk to continue to play with large crowds in their arenas.
“We would recommend that there not be large crowds, if that means not having any people in the audience when the NBA plays, so be it,” Fauci told Congress. “But as a public health official, anything that has large crowds is something that would give a risk to spread.”
Fauci was direct when administering advice to the NBA, whose average attendance for a game is close to 20,000. Based on the recent NFL Draft attendance numbers released by the league, the 2020 NFL Draft could potentially hold anywhere from 10 to 30 times the number of people that attend an average NBA game.
“As a nation, we can’t be doing the kinds of things we were doing a few months ago,“ Fauci exclaimed. “It doesn’t matter if you’re in a state that has no cases or one case — you have to start taking seriously what you can do now, if and when the infections will come. And they will come. Sorry to say, sad to say, they will.”
The health risks that come with holding an event of this size could only be detrimental to a country that is looking to combat a pandemic. Even if the methods being utilized currently are effective in slowing down the spread of the virus by mid-April, holding an event that allows hundreds of thousands of people to be within inches of each other could result in an unplanned spike in the disease that could reverse the progress the country has made.
And if those health concerns aren’t enough to get the NFL to action, what about their prospective players?
The NFL could cut down on the COVID-19 risks by having an old school style draft at their league office. They could remove the event from Las Vegas and just announce the selections on social media. However, that would once again be short-sighted. Scouting personnel would still not have the opportunity to assess these players properly. Athletes with more film and media attention would receive preferential treatment over guys that can prove their abilities on the field through their 40 times and individual drills.
NFL teams across the league have sidelined their coaches and scouting personnel from travel at arguably the most important time for player evaluation.
College pro days, pre-draft workouts, and player interviews have all been canceled as a precaution against the coronavirus. All contact with prospects must now be done remotely. This leaves many talented players who may not have the name recognition of a Chase Young or Joe Burrow left out to dry.
One late-round draft prospect, who asked to speak anonymous for fear of backlash, told Deadspin that his opportunity to impress NFL personnel could be affected by COVID-19.
“I’m worried about how the team’s scout restricted travel might affect the exposure of small school prospects like me at pro days,” the prospect said.
The NFL has seen an influx of small school talent enter the league that has had a significant impact on their respective organizations. Indianapolis Colts Pro Bowl linebacker Darius Leonard won the defensive rookie of the year award in 2018 after being selected in the second round out of South Carolina State in the 2018 Draft. Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen, had similar success after being drafted in the fourth round out of North Carolina A&T in 2017. Cohen went on to be a pro bowl selection in 2018 and helped lead the Bears to the playoffs.
The league has an obligation to look out for all of their prospects during the draft process. Drastic changes must be made to the NFL Draft in order to help serve the athletes that make the league what it is today.
“I think [to postpone] would be fair to the people who actually keep the ‘NFL’ going,” said the prospect. “That would help with evaluations — I am wondering if the NFL is willing to do that though.”
Not only should the NFL be willing to do that, they should have already done it. There’s only one possible option here for the NFL – postpone the 2020 NFL Draft. It is the only way to fairly protect the fans, players, coaches and front office personnel while also allowing teams to adequately assess the 2020 Draft prospects. All of these individuals have worked tirelessly to make the shield the highest-grossing sports league in the world. In many ways, the league is obligated to act in fairness to all parties involved during this pandemic.
There is no more time to waste. Postpone this thing. Like, yesterday. | <urn:uuid:07f140d9-60b2-4960-9fa9-7f8a378a1d3f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://deadspin.com/hey-nfl-youre-on-the-clock-make-the-right-choice-and-1842318777 | 2020-09-25T04:26:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.973103 | 1,336 |
