Great toddler nutrition starts with excellent infant nutrition. Most parents recognize the importance of proper nutrition as part of their baby’s development process, but how should they account for macronutrients like protein? Here’s what you need to know about protein needs for infants and toddlers, and how to provide it well for growing kids.
All parents wants to nourish their children well, which means understanding the basics of essential nutrients like protein. How much protein does your infant need, and what role does protein play in toddler nutrition?
Why Protein Matters
We hear about protein all the time. In fact, we may be a little bit obsessed with this macronutrient. So what’s the big deal with protein, especially when it comes to babies and toddlers?
Protein is an essential macronutrient (along with fat and carbohydrates, which we’ll cover another time). It’s required for growth and development, is used to repair tissue, and helps to maintain the proper balance and pH of body fluids. Some proteins are enzymes, which are needed to lead important metabolic reactions in the body like blood clotting, digestion, muscle contraction, and energy production.
With all of the attention placed on protein, it may seem as though we’re not getting enough of it. But in reality, most people eat more protein than they actually need. When you think about protein, you might envision weightlifters guzzling protein shakes, the shelves of colorful protein bars at the grocery store, or a big plate of steak.
How does this translate to babies and toddlers? While protein is an important nutrient, it’s important to understand just how much your baby or toddler needs and the best places to get it.
Infant Protein Needs
During at least the first six months of life, infants should get their protein needs met from breast milk and/or infant formula. Between 4-6 months of age, infants can start being introduced to age-appropriate solid (pureed) foods, which are mostly for fun in the beginning, but can also be good sources of protein.
For example, puree blends made with sweet potatoes and quinoa, peanut butter and banana, or white beans with spinach.
How much protein do infants need? Most recommendations fall around 1-1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight for babies, or around 11 grams of protein per day for children 7-12 months old. For example, an average 20 pound, or 9.1 kg, child would need approximately 9-14 grams of protein per day. Protein needs will increase slightly as your child grows and gets bigger.
Toddler Protein Needs
By toddlerhood, most children are able to meet their protein needs through solid foods rather than formula or breast milk. Some great sources of protein for toddlers include organic soy foods, beans, and lentils, as well as nut and seed butters.
However, some parents may find it helpful to supplement their toddler with a high-quality plant-based formula, like Else formula, which is an easy and convenient way to add nutrition and protein. In a 240 ml serving made with Else formula powder, you will find 4.5 grams of protein.
How much protein do toddlers need? Children ages 1-3 years old have a recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of around 13 grams of protein per day.
To give you an idea of how much protein may be in plant-based foods for babies and toddlers, here are some examples:
- ¼ cup white beans: 3 grams
- 1 Tbsp peanut butter: 3.5 grams
- 1 slice whole wheat toast: 5 grams
- 1 Tbsp hummus: 1 gram
- 1 oz tofu: 3 grams
- ¼ cup cooked quinoa: 6 grams
- ¼ cup cooked lentils: 8 grams
To meet your child’s protein needs, offer a variety of these foods throughout the day in addition to formula or milk.
Protein is an important nutrient whether you have an infant or toddler, and fortunately it doesn’t have to be difficult for your child to meet his or her protein requirements. There are many plant-based foods that provide healthy protein once your child starts to wean from breast milk, and Else Nutrition offers a high-quality line of vegan formula appropriate for infants (coming at a future time) and toddlers alike.

Patient’s Heart Attack Caused By Physician Negligence
MILLION DOLLAR PLUS – SEVEN FIGURE CONFIDENTIAL GLOBAL GROSS SETTLEMENT – MEDICAL MALPRACTICE – CARDIAC CATH LAB MALPRACTICE – HEART PROCEDURE AND WRONGFUL DEATH
Tampa Bay Area, FL
This action involved allegations of medical malpractice by a man in his early seventies (Plaintiff-victim) against a cardiologist, medical group and hospital where he underwent a questionable heart procedure in the hospital’s cath lab.
The heart catheterization (“cath”) procedure and stent insertion caused the Plaintiff-victim to suffer a serious complication called a right coronary spiral “dissection” or tear to one of her heart’s main arteries. The physician caused tear to the right coronary artery during the heart cath, which could not be repaired and ultimately the tear in the right coronary artery induced a heart attack to the patient.
Shortly after the procedure was over the Plaintiff-victim had severe chest pain and had to be taken back into the cath lab where it was determined that the Plaintiff-victim’s right coronary artery was closed down. The Plaintiff-victim worsened and was transferred to a local, higher acuity cardiac hospital for care. The patient suffered significant losses to his heart’s ability to pump blood throughout the body as the result of the procedural complication and negligence.
A thorough death and medical malpractice investigation revealed that the only plausible explanation for the Plaintiff-victim’s dissection and subsequent heart-attack was physician and/or facility negligence, i.e. malpractice, by the substandard performance of a questionable heart procedure that resulted in a preventable injury to the heart. The physician induced heart attack was not timely and properly diagnosed.
Victims of medical malpractice must retain skilled litigation and trial counsel to zealously pursue their losses and damages. When a Plaintiff-victim’s life is shortened and quality of life harmed by medical malpractice, the case proceeds recovered by Emerson Straw for these victims can provide opportunities for victims to pursue costly and otherwise unavailable medical treatment – or to spend more time with family that they may not otherwise have without case recovered resources.

Green Corridor Interactive Map
Have you heard of Milwaukee’s Green Corridor but haven’t made the trip to S. 6th Street to see our progress? Now you can learn more about the environmental installations going into the Green Corridor by visiting a new interactive online map.
The Green Corridor project is an effort to create a sustainable technology demonstration site along S. 6th St. between Howard and College Avenues. It is led by a group of volunteers from City departments, local non-profits, businesses, and civic groups. | <urn:uuid:82e35295-5fdc-46d5-8050-330dffbef8e6> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://gatewaytomilwaukee.com/news/green-corridor-interactive-map/ | 2020-09-25T02:27:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.917394 | 108 |
The Sunshine School was established in 1996 and is officially licensed and registered with the Lao government. It is located in Vientiane, Laos. It is a pre and primary school with the Neo-Humanist Education system managed by Ananda Marga Women’s Welfare Department. The school is a non-profit, non-denominational institution dedicated to providing a multicultural, ethically based education through integrated learning and the holistic development of the child.
Laos is a very small and beautiful landlocked country. Air is free of industrial pollution and traffic pollution. The school is about 30-45 minutes away from the Lao-Nongkhai Thailand border. The school is about 5 minutes walk from the beautiful Mekong River where one can go for a walk or cycling in the shaded asphalt road and watch the sunset or the river flow. Lao people are warm and friendly but not many people can speak English although more people speak it now compared to 4-5 years ago.
What work will the volunteer do:
There is a wide range of activities open to volunteers:
Primarily, they can help with our English language programmes in the kindergarten and primary sections of the school. Also they can participate as teachers in our evening or weekend English classes for children and adults. As English language teachers or assistants they could teach English to our primary children from grades 1- 5. Each grade has 4 lessons a week at 45 minutes each lesson. The volunteers in this position will be requested to prepare their lesson plans, so volunteers with an education background are preferable but not necessary.
Work as assistant teachers in our kindergarten
We presently have two bi-lingual (English and Lao) kindergarten classes and we need an English speaking assistant in each class to work along side of our Lao staff.
Teaching creative activities
We are looking for people with training or backgrounds in teaching music, dance, drama, art, crafts, sports, computer and other skills to help us out with these programmes in the primary school.
We are looking for people with experience in progressive education techniques, (Neo-Humanist Education if possible) especially for primary level to help us introduce more creative child-centered methods of teaching to our staff. As is common in many Asian countries, Laotian teachers are trained in the traditional ‘chalk & talk’ methods of teaching. Although in our school the teacher/student relationship is more friendly and free than in many other local schools, we are still a long way from having a really creative flow in the classrooms.
Requirements for the Volunteers:
They should be able to read, write and speak English fluently and be willing to learn the local language which is Lao. The time and times that the volunteers are expected to spend at school each day will vary according to which age group they are working with and what type of work they are doing. The school is open from Mon – Fri 8.00 – 4.30. There are also activities on Saturday mornings from 8 – 12. Light cotton clothes would be advisable for all year round. In summer (March- May), the temperature can get as high as 37-39 C. Light footwear is advisable as many roads are still dirt roads. Winter in Laos could be cold, around 8-10 degrees C, bring a sweater along for the winter.
How many volunteers are needed?
Two volunteers at a time.
How long can I volunteer?
1 – 10 months
What is offered?
The school will try its best to arrange basic accommodation for long term volunteers. A vegetarian lunch will be served free for all students, teachers and staff during school days from Sept – June. Long term volunteers may be given an allowance to help maintain their living in Laos; this is negotiable according to the needs of the volunteers and the amount of time they spend working at the school. | <urn:uuid:798e02a5-bf52-4fae-a3e9-975a0d1eede8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://gurukul.edu/participate/volunteers/sunshine-school-vientiane-laos/ | 2020-09-25T03:59:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.966239 | 788 |

The Arab world fascinates me, especially its rich history, culture, as well as the challenges and the opportunities which it faces.
Its also important as part of my job to follow events in the Arab world. What happens there impacts both Iran and Israel.
This morning, I listened to a podcast called “The Rise and Fall of Arab Nationalism”.
In the podcast Egyptian author Tarek Osmant:
uncovers the history of the modern Arab world by tracing some of the great political dreams that have shaped it, from the 19th Century to the Arab Spring. Throughout the series, he focuses on two countries that are currently high on the news agenda – Egypt and Syria

After a minor controversy, Minecraft will change up the way players tame parrots, VICE Motherboard reports. And while it sounds like the least controversial mechanic in gaming history, the patch was spurned by a Reddit post with 37,000 upvotes that accused the game of potentially endangering real-life parrots.
In Minecraft, players feed chocolate chip cookies to parrots to train them or coax them into mating. On Reddit, a very concerned Minecraft citizen explained that, actually, feeding chocolate to parrots can kill them. “Literally millions of kids will play this game,” Redditer 1jl explained, “and chocolate and pet parrots are common enough that this will cause a problem.”
In an e-mail, Minecraft lead creative director Jens Bergensten told VICE Motherboard, “If Minecraft has any effect on children’s behavior, we want it to be a positive one, so we’ll change the item used to breed parrots before the 1.12 update is released.” That patch doesn’t have a set release date, but should be coming soon. Bergensten added that the idea to feed parrots cookies was originally a reference to the Nirvana song “Polly.” “We didn’t consider what the chocolate ingredient would mean to real life parrots,” he added.

Netlifx announced on Wednesday plans to create new series and film projects based on C.S. Lewis’ beloved book series, The Chronicles of Narnia, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The late author’s most famous book, the 1950 novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, will be recreated on film as well as other books.
“It is wonderful to know that folks from all over are looking forward to seeing more of Narnia, and that the advances in production and distribution technology have made it possible for us to make Narnian adventures come to life all over the world,” said Douglas Gresham, the writer’s stepson, in a statement released by Netflix. “Netflix seems to be the very best medium with which to achieve this aim, and I am looking forward to working with them toward this goal.”
Under the terms of a multiyear deal between Netflix and The C.S. Lewis Company, Netflix will develop classic stories from across the Narnia universe into multiple projects. All series and films produced through the deal will be Netflix productions, with Mark Gordon of Entertainment One (eOne) producing. Gresham and Vincent Sieber will serve as executive producers for the series and as producers for the films.
“C.S. Lewis’ beloved Chronicles of Narnia stories have resonated with generations of readers around the world,” said Ted Sarandos, chief content officer of Netflix. “Families have fallen in love with characters like Aslan and the entire world of Narnia, and we’re thrilled to be their home for years to come.”
To date, Lewis’ Narnia books have sold more than 100 million copies globally and have been translated into more than 47 languages.
Netflix isn’t the first to adapt Lewis’ books for film and television. Disney released movie adaptations of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian in 2005 and 2008, respectively, while Fox released The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in 2010. Altogether, the trio of films grossed more than $1 billion internationally. The BBC produced a TV series based on the books as well, which aired throughout the 1980s. | <urn:uuid:53689204-a470-4cf9-9f52-eb0f0645d617> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://metrovoicenews.com/netflix-to-create-new-chronicles-of-narnia-series/ | 2020-09-25T03:59:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.952862 | 473 |

Ocean Explorer 60
Launched in 2017, CYGNUS CYGNUS is hull no.2 of the OQS-built Ocean Explorer line of semi-custom luxury bluewater cruising catamarans. Her specification outlines a safe and fast performance cruiser capable of crossing the oceans in full comfort. She is built to category CE Ocean A and MGN280-2 with DNV-GL appointed as notified body.
Her accommodation layout incorporates 1 crew + 4 guest cabins, offering true premium sailing experience for all aboard. The materials and equipment installed are carefully chosen in order to match the high set of expectations. Her carbon fibre mast is supplied by Lorima who are globally recognised in the multihull market and the professional racing arenas, her sails are North Sails and the winches are supplied by Harken.
In order to meet requirements for occasional shorthanded sailing and effortless sail handling, both the jib and the storm jib are on electrical furlers. A retractable hydraulic Max Power bow thruster is installed for ensuring smooth maneuvering in narrow harbour areas. Retractable daggerboards and rudders also allow her draft to be reduced to just 0.90m for beaching or 1.3m when in navigation with the rudder blades down.
The galley is well equipped. Sufficient freezer and fridge capacity is installed for covering long passages and for ensuring proper dining at times when the numbers of guests aboard are high. The watermaker has a capacity of producing freshwater of 150 l/h.
Her chosen build category allows for commercial charter operations should her owner decide. | <urn:uuid:623814ef-abb2-4779-9748-19143debc663> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://seahorsemagazine.com/raceboats-search/ad/multihulls,15/ocean-explorer-60,1130 | 2020-09-25T03:34:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.910266 | 326 |

1. Look up in the sky! It’s a bird! No, it’s a plane! No, it’s Supermoon! – If you’re Bill O’Reilly, I know what you’re thinking. Supermoon comes in,earthquake comes out. Never a miscommunication. You can’t explain that. But no, Bill, the coming Supermoon is not in any way responsible for the Japanese earthquake. Nor was Godzilla…probably.
2. Oregon House ends ‘Faith Healing’ exemption – Oregon had a law on the books that gave religious parents carte blanche in the event that they killed their sick children by choosing to treat them with prayer in lieu of getting them proper medical care. But now House Bill 2721, “eliminates reliance on spiritual treatment as defense to certain crimes in which victim is under 18 years of age.”
Some students at St. Patrick High School in Ontario, Canada recently participated in the Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity. They wore red tape with the word “LIFE” written on it and “didn’t talk for the day to display their belief in the injustice of abortion.”
Sophomore Alexandria Szeglet wasn’t a fan of that message, though, so she decided to do something about it.
She got some green tape and wrote the word “CHOICE” on it.
And then she passed along the green tape to several other students so they could join her in silent protest.
So the school told her to take off her green tape or go home. So she did…go home, that is. But she was not alone. The media was contacted and told up to 35 students were given 2-day suspensions, not to mention a 100 more who were sent home for the day. I’m tellin’ ya, these kids today and they’re principles…and their self-respect…and their rap music…
4. Smartphones that detect cancer in under an hour – We’re finally arrived at a point where our phones are smarter than our doctors. Very soon we’ll be able to integrate a microNMR device that accurately detects cancer cells to a smartphone:
Though just a prototype, this device enables a clinician to extract small amounts of cells from a mass inside of a patient, analyze the sample on the spot, acquire the results in an hour, and pass the results to other clinicians and into medical records rapidly. How much does the device cost to make? $200.
This is much more efficient than modern biopsy analysis, which only has an 84 percent accuracy rate, can take three to four days to produce results, and runs the risk of the tissue degrading during transport to an external testing site.

No stranger to a variety of cars, S15, Altezza, JZX100, (even the FD, having owned one before this) just to name a few, Muraki Tatsuhiko has more experience than most when it comes to how different chassis’s respond on track. Taking something new away from each car he’s owned. It’s not surprising then, that when he decided to take his chances on rebuilding a new FD, he was able to pilot around TC2000 in a blazing fast 59.218 second. Not a demo car of TFR’s, but treated more or less like a private built machine, the FD has plenty of cues taken from TFR’s usual work. The small, weathered shop in the outskirts of Saitama has been the birthplace of some of the fastest RX-7’s in Japan, this build being no exception.
His first FD, a black one that was built with the idea of having a street driven circuit car, fulfilled his desires initially, but as time wore on, he decided that it was time to build a second chassis with the knowledge he gained from the first; this time, he wanted to go fast – in comes Top Fuel Racing.
The owner of TFR, Kumaki-san, is not shy when it comes to his knowledge of the RX7. Having built them for years to race in every discipline from drag racing to circuit racing, there are few who know the chassis like Kumaki. TFR was the perfect match for Tatsukuro’s new build.
The milky white aero of the FD, a combination of TFR and Amemiya pieces rest still on the car as it sits in the morning sunlight of Tsukuba.
Good look of the hollowed rear fenders and molded canards.
The chassis mounted wing holds the car in place around Tsukuba.
All those elegantly aggressive lines flow just as well on circuit. Channeling oncoming air as the TFR built, twin turbo 13B pushes the car around TC2000.
The custom TFR 3 layer V-mount and oil cooler setup behind the front bumper doing it’s best to keep engine temps stable.
The OS Super Lock LSD giving the A050’s a run for their money around the first hair pin with 16k Hyperco coils handling the dampening.
It was really cool that, during this Evome, I was able to meet a couple friends from Canada that came out to enjoy the event as well. Here they are checking out Tatsukuro’s car after his stint.
Sitting in the paddock after the event, the CE28/TE37 combination matching the overall feeling of the car perfectly.
This is definitely one of the more unique FD’s in the lineup of Attack events, but that just makes it all the more beautiful; a car fit for it’s owner. Someone who appreciates diversity, and gaining something from everything.
Enjoy a clip from the Attack DVD of Tatsukuro running TC2000 last year: | <urn:uuid:2f4183a5-aa9a-4ab0-8a3f-6f5c579c8be6> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://thenaritadogfight.com/2014/09/21/encounter-tatsukuro-sans-tfr-blessed-fd3s/ | 2020-09-25T02:44:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.967948 | 641 |

One of Rolex’s longstanding areas of sponsorship is in the world of high-end equestrian events, and on April 27th they will once again present the world-class Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event in Lexington. The competition is the United States Equestrian Foundation’s (USEF) National Championship as well as the country’s only Four Star event and attracts the world’s best horse-and-rider combinations.
The competition is the United States Equestrian Foundation’s (USEF) National Championship.
Heading the list this year is Olympic gold medalist Michael Jung of Germany, who successfully defended his Rolex-Kentucky title last year on his thoroughbred FischerRocana FST. This year the pair returns hoping to make history by becoming the first horse-and-rider combination to win America’s only Four Star event three consecutive years.
Jung VS Granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II
Should he manage it Jung will also win the coveted, specially engraved, beautiful Datejust from Rolex. They present the watch to the winner each year; of course he already has a number of them in his collection. Land Rover has also signed on as Presenting Sponsor and Official Vehicle of this year’s Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event, where the total prize money has been increased to $400,000.
Zara Tindall the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth is an ambassador of Land Rover.
The U.S. rider closest to the optimum time on the eventing course will also win a two-year lease of a new Land Rover Discovery Sport. Similar to the Range Rover alliance with Zenith, there will always be a connection between cars and watches and sports. This year Land Rover Ambassador Zara Tindall, granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, will return to competition with her 2012 London Olympic silver medal horse, High Kingdom.
Rolex has been closely tied to equestrian sports.
An Equestrian Sport
The Kentucky event along with similar competitions in Badminton and Burghley, UK, are considered the world’s best in “eventing” – an equestrian sport in which competitors must take part in several events, usually cross-country, dressage, and show jumping. Several years ago Rolex created the Grand Slam of Eventing prize to award the near-impossible feat of winning all three. Since its inception, only two riders have managed it, once in 2003 and again in 2016. Rolex has been sponsoring the world’s finest equestrian events since 1957. Most recently it backed the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping, a new competition created in 2013 by three of the world’s greatest equestrian shows. | <urn:uuid:e7de49b6-adf2-4132-83ed-c54bc145283a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.bobswatches.com/rolex-blog/events/rolex-equestrian-event-rolex-kentucky.html | 2020-09-25T03:34:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.952134 | 569 |
Feed suet pellets to your wild garden birds
Suet pellets offer the highest energy food for your garden visitors. You can buy them as straight pellets or as part of a mix, either way the birds will devour them.
Good quality beef suet is the key to successful wild bird feeding of suet pellets, at British Bird Food we only use the best quality ingredients for our suet pellets, our suppliers do not use palm oil in the blend and most importantly, they only use beef suet and get the density and texture, just right.
Where you store your suet pellets is important, at this time of year, they are best strored inside, so they do not freeze and are not too hard for the birds to bite, but in the summer time you may need to store them in a cool dark place at the back of the garage so they don't get too hot and become soft and crumbly.
British Bird Food stock four flavours of suet pellets, Mealworm, Insect, Berry and Bird seed, all of which are very popular with the garden birds, especially in the winter months.
Other suet products we stock are blocks, balls and cylinders, each garden is different and so you have to find the best food for your wild birds, it may be one type, or it may be a combination of several types of suet. One thing is for sure, once you find the right type of food, you will have a wide variety of birds visiting your garden and thus, hours of pleasure watching them and their antics.

Stage manager for: Ian Bostridge & Thomas Adès
I had the pleasure of working as stage manager for Ian Bostridge & Thomas Adès' performance of Winterreise by Schubert at the Hopkins Center for the Arts' Spaulding Theater here at Dartmouth College
Working backstage meant not having the chance to listen to them from the audience's seats, but it was a very beautiful experience to help their evening run smoothly. Bostridge's recordings of Schubert and Britten works have been ones I have been listening to for many years - what a surreal experience and wonderful opportunity it was to stage manage for him. Sometimes even witnessing those moments of warming up, funny backstage comments, regular everyday clothes, etc. make us realize a beautiful, honest, and human side to these performers... And also how we can help! It's also very powerful to see a performer who has truly devote a large portion of his life to a specific repertoire/piece and experience that live.
I like to respect privacy and keep details out of the way - one tiny bit I will mention though is how kind Mr. Bostridge was in signing one of the first Schubert pieces I ever learned to sing. Something to treasure!
Overall, very thankful for the opportunity and for the stage managing experience I am getting while here at Dartmouth.

GBP/USD lifted by UK GDP but further upside may be limited ahead of US GDP
Fawad Razaqzada January 26, 2018 5:58 AM
The UK economy ended last year with a stronger-than-expected growth of 0.5% in the fourth quarter.
The UK economy ended last year with a stronger-than-expected growth of 0.5% in the fourth quarter. However, growth in 2017 as a whole was still the weakest in five years at 1.8%. The pound, already higher on the day, extended its gains on the back of the data. It remains to be seen however whether we will see new highs for the GBP/USD. The dollar had been falling sharply in recent days until a sharp turn-around late in the day yesterday after US President Donald Trump said he wanted the currency to rise, as this would be a sign of strength in the US economy. Dollar ripped but it ultimately failed to find any further buying interest and eventually started to head lower again. It has now given up most of its gains again as market participants made a more sober assessment of Trump’s comments, knowing full well that words alone are not enough to change the course of a trend. But with the Dollar Index dropping to a significant long-term support, there is always the potential we will see some bottom-picking and short-side profit taking in the coming days. Today, the dollar will have a chance to potentially make a comeback in the event US GDP also beats expectations. The world’s largest economy is expected to have risen 3.0% in the fourth quarter on an annualised basis. So, the dollar bulls will be hoping to see a figure higher than 3.0%. Even if the data disappoints, one could argue that the downside could be limited for the severely oversold dollar.
So, the GBP/USD may struggle to go further higher. From a technical perspective, it does look quite overbought, at least judging by the RSI indicator. But there is no doubt that the trend is bullish at the moment, so any dips could be bought, until there is a break in market structure of higher highs and higher lows. The next key support is at 1.4000/15 area, should yesterday’s low at 1.4083 give way. There are no obvious resistance levels until the next psychological hurdle of 1.4500, but yesterday’s high at 1.4345 is also a key level to watch closely going forward, given the sharp reaction from that level.

what is abs?
For more than 70 years, ABS has been used to make a variety of industrial parts and consumer goods from automobile dashboards to LEGO® bricks. ABS yields more durable, impact-resistant parts than other industrial plastics. Aesthetically, ABS comes in many colors, is easily injection-molded, and achieves high-quality finishes.
For the same reason, ABS filament is a popular choice for commercial and enthusiast markets. ABS produces printed objects that can withstand handling and everyday temperature conditions. However, ABS does require more performance than many entry-level printers can provide. Let’s look at why ABS remains such a popular choice.
how was abs first made?
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, or ABS, was first made in the 1940s as part of the wartime effort to create artificial materials. Styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) was already being used to make containers and other rigid objects. Styrene provided hardness and acrylic provided strength but SAN-based objects were brittle. Polybutadiene, on the other hand, was developed to replace rubber for use in things like tires. ABS combined the properties of SANs and polybutadienes to make objects more durable and impact resistant.
While polybutadiene does not blend well with SAN, there are ways to get them to work together. The original approach created an emulsion of butadiene polymers and acrylonitrile and styrene monomers. The exact ratio of the three components as they polymerized would determine the properties of the final ABS blend.
how abs is made today
Modern ABS manufacturing uses a mass-production process that chemically bonds acrylonitrile to a backbone copolymer of butadiene-styrene. This process gives manufacturers more control over the acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene ratio and the resulting material properties. Styrene typically comprises half of the mixture with butadiene and acrylonitrile making up the rest.
Additives further modify these properties to provide, for example, greater UV resistance. Pure ABS is a translucent white, but dyes and pigments let suppliers offer products in a variety of colors.
ABS is easily injection-molded and can be made to a high-quality finish whichmakes it popular across many industries from household goods to automotive parts to electronics. The same properties make ABS filament a common choice for 3D printing.
can abs be recycled?
ABS can be melted and reformed without losing its properties.Theoretically, this makes ABSfully recyclable. The reality is different. Like polycarbonate, nylon, and other plastics, ABS falls under Plastic Resin Code 7. As a result, many recycling facilities receive ABS in lots mixed with many other materials.
Melting ABS with other plastics will contaminate the recycled material and severely constrain how it can be used. Unless the recycling facility has processes that can separate ABS economically, it will endup in landfills or incinerators. For this reason, a lot of research is going into froth flotation and other new technologies that can separate ABS efficiently.
If you use a lot of ABS, consider recycling it yourself by shredding your ABS scraps and melting it into fresh filament. Your local maker space may have the equipment you need.
what is froth flotation?
First developed by the mining industry in the 19th Century, froth flotation is a method of separating minerals such as graphite, sulfides, and gold from ores. The process takes advantage of a mineral’s hydrophobicity, its ability to repel water.
First, the ore is crushed and ground until into fine particles where each grain is a separate mineral. After mixing the particles with water to form a slurry, specially tailored chemicals are added to make the target mineral more hydrophobic. Chemical and mechanical churning aerates the slurry and captures the hydrophobic minerals to the bubble walls.
The resulting froth rises to the surface and gets skimmed off to extract the target minerals. Froth flotation lets mining companies extract minerals from ores in higherconcentrations and makes their operations more profitable.
How is Froth Flotation currently being used?
Froth flotation is also a common process in the recycling industry.Wastewater treatment plants use froth flotation to remove fats, oil, grease, and other hydrophobic solids suspended in household and commercial wastewater. Some paper recycling plants use froth flotation to remove inks and other hydrophobic contaminants.
Researchers have looked at using froth flotation to separate ABS from old cars. In America, the Argonne National Laboratory built a pilot plant in the early 2000s that separated ABS from automobile shredder residue. The European LIFE PlasPLUS project plans to do the same.Both projects focus on automotive plastics because old cars are a concentrated source of thermoplastics like ABS. Europe’s car industry, for example, accounts for 15% of the continent’s plastic production. Froth flotation could make ABS recycling profitable.
abs industrial uses
abs everyday users & hobbyists
Even though PLA is easier to work within the home or classroom, ABS remains popular among hobbyists. ABS provides more post-processing options to create better finishes. Its durability makes ABS a better choice for replacement parts and frequently-handled objects. ABS parts will also survive conditions in your car on summer days.

The first Thai named ADB’s New Energy Leader
On 29-30 November 2017, Mr. Somboon Lertsuwannaroj, Managing Director of Impact Solar Limited, the first Thai named “New Energy Leaders 2017”, has been invited by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to participate in the “Asia Pacific Forum on Low Carbon Technologies” at Changcha city in China’s Hunan province.
On 29-30 November 2017, Mr. Somboon Lertsuwannaroj, Managing Director of Impact Solar Limited, has been invited by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to participate in the “Asia Pacific Forum on Low Carbon Technologies” at Changcha city in China’s Hunan province. The event was set to hold an award ceremony as well as an official introduction to 7 leaders named “New Energy Leaders 2017” where Mr. Somboon was chosen as 1 out of the 7, becoming the first person from Thailand to ever receive this award. Over 50 people all over Asia were nominated for the award, carefully selected from a group of new generation entrepreneurs and leaders in clean energy innovation.
The purpose of setting up the “New Energy Leaders 2017” program was to search for role models among new generation leaders in the clean energy innovation industry in Asia and provide support to collectively set direction for clean energy in the future. Furthermore, this program aims to share the experiences and challenges imposed in developing clean energy innovations, providing insight to potential stakeholders interested in supporting the development of clean energy in Asia.
At the event, among the 7 leaders chosen for the award, Mr. Somboon had the opportunity to express his views on the future direction of clean energy in front of an audience of 300 people. He discussed the changes in user behavior of electricity consumption due to the technological advancement of clean energy, noting that users have switched to produce and make use of their own generated electricity, potentially allowing opportunities to exchange unconsumed electricity in neighboring areas in the near future. Mr. Somboon stated, “I believe that in the near future, people will enjoy the modernized energy era powered by the distributed generation bringing them to freely produce, consume, and sharing clean power much more efficiency under a deregulated technology platform”.
Under the management of Mr. Somboon and his team of new generation developers, Impact Solar initiated Thailand’s first ever solar rooftop Private PPA program. Their current portfolio of over 30 MW in installation capacity across the country was fueled by the trust and support gained from renowned corporations namely, Big C Supercenter, Thai Union Group, SB Design Square, JAS Asset, and Kerry Logistics. | <urn:uuid:76fe14ba-63f8-4eba-9d51-badb92281aaf> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.impactsolar.co.th/news/the-first-thai-named-adb-s-new-energy-leader | 2020-09-25T04:13:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.950627 | 558 |
Wong Wok “Dai Chao” Cuisine @ Lot 10 Hutong, Kuala Lumpur
Just last week, I've had the good chance to attend a media preview of Wong Wok “Dai Chao” Cuisine @ Lot 10 Hutong, Kuala Lumpur. What made it special was the fact that the luncheon was hosted by Tan Sri Francis Yeoh, Group Managing Director of YTL Corporation Berhad himself. His favourite chef, Chef Wong of Wong Wok was present to whip up some really delicious classic "Dai Chao" Chinese cuisine for us to savour.
A rather unique concept if you ask me, Lot 10 Hutong gourmet heritage village offers hundreds of selections of the best local comfort foods that have passed the test of time in Malaysia as well as throughout the region. I was told each stall there is personally hand-picked and is already recognised as a master of its craft. Yes, this means each stall serves the best there is.

|Crabs for only RM39.90? Yes please!|
Chef Wong of Wong Wok, an award winning restaurant chef brings to us his cooking technique of classic Chinese “Dai Chao” style. We all love "Dai Chao" dishes, but the authenticity of these type of dishes has been lost with time. So it's really important that this is preserved for the future generation.
|Chef Wong with Tan Sri Francis Yeoh and Joseph Yeoh posing for the cameras|
While other six year olds were frolicking outdoors, young Chef Wong was already engaged in the kitchen. His family discovered he had a natural gift for taste. With a bite and a whiff of Mama Wong’s cooking, he could instinctively decipher which ingredients were used and how much, as well as the style of cooking. Now that's real talent.
|Steamed Salted Fish Minced Pork|
Some brief history on how Chef Wong arrived in Kuala Lumpur. At the tender age of seven, young Chef Wong became Mama Wong’s assistant. His village, Kampung “Ang Moh Bah”, had high hopes that young Chef Wong would bring the Kampung “Ang Mo Bah” flavour to the world. Misfortune befell upon him when a big fire burnt down Mama Wong’s food court, this tumultuous event spurred young Chef Wong to leave Kampung “Ang Mo Bah” to the city of opportunities, Kuala Lumpur, to realize his dream.

In time, Chef Wong searched out old chefs to apprentice under them in order to learn their cooking technique. As fate would have it, Chef Wong’s passion was recognized in Kuala Lumpur and he joined the YTL Food and Beverage team. With Wong at the helm of Shook!, YTL’s Chinese Kitchen, his signature Dancing Prawn, Sang Har Sang Mee, was birthed.
|Dancing Prawn, Sang Har Sang Mee - RM39|
|Foo Yong Egg - RM14|
The main focus here for Wong Wok's "Dai Chao" cuisine is on the meticulous steps taken in each process of cooking and the rendering of dishes that we Malaysian grew up with. I personally loved all the dishes that were brought out to the dining table that afternoon, including the spicy crab dish which I did not managed to snap a photo of.
If you haven't visited Lot 10 Hutong yet, now's the best time to try them out. Check out Wong Wok “Dai Chao” Cuisine @ Lot 10 Hutong, KL today itself for some really good authentic classic Chinese food. | <urn:uuid:10d0e36f-58e5-48f2-87f7-c58fea2f9048> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.isaactan.net/2016/12/wong-wok-dai-chao-cuisine-lot-10-hutong-kuala-lumpur.html | 2020-09-25T04:41:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.966829 | 786 |

Right to Farm bill a covert means of criminalising forest protests
MEDIA RELEASE - 25 September 2019
The North East Forest Alliance has slammed the Right to Farm Bill 2019 now before the NSW parliament as a covert attack on the rights to peacefully protest or even audit forestry operations on public lands.
If this bill passes it will mean that if we do anything to hinder a logging operation on public lands we will be liable to fines of up to $22,000 or imprisonment for 3 years, NEFA spokesperson Dailan Pugh said.
"In a time of climate emergency and an extinction crisis, this is an unprecedented and reprehensible assault on our civil rights, aimed at stopping any future actions to protect our public lands.
"It is no coincidence that this coincides with protest actions in the Kalang headwaters near Bellingen and Braemar State Forest near Casino.
"The Right to Farm Bill 2019 includes forestry as an agricultural activity and makes any activity that hinders, or attempts or intends to hinder, logging an 'aggravated offence' liable to a $22,000 fine or imprisonment for 3 years if a person entering enclosed lands is accompanied by 2 or more other people.
"Enclosed lands are defined to include State forests where they are fenced or defined by a natural feature, which includes most State Forests.
"Even if NEFA incites of induces people to enter a State Forest we will be liable for a $11,000 fine or imprisonment for 12 months.
"This bill is intended to increase penalties for logging protests in an attempt to stop any future peaceful protests that hinder logging operations.
"Though a broad interpretation it could mean that even our forest audits make us liable to fines and imprisonment.
"It says a lot that this draconian legislation is being promulgated on the 40th anniversary of successful protests to protect Terania Creek and the 30th anniversary of protests to stop logging of rainforest in the North Washpool Wilderness.
"The Berejiklian Government is using the rights to farm as a covert means of criminalising public forest protests. This is a fight for democracy as this bill is aimed at outlawing effective protest." Mr. Pugh said. | <urn:uuid:52f14ba7-3d2b-46b4-b64c-ea74795b595d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.nefa.org.au/right_to_farm_criminalises_forest_protests | 2020-09-25T03:17:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.943214 | 448 |

About The area
Gloucestershire is home to a variety of landscapes. The Cotswolds, a region of gentle hills, valleys and gem-like villages, roll through the county. To their west is the Severn Plain, watered by Britain’s longest river, and characterised by orchards and farms marked out by hedgerows that blaze with mayflower in the spring, and beyond the Severn are the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley.
Throughout the county you are never far away from the past. Neolithic burial chambers are widespread, and so too are the remains of Roman villas, many of which retain the fine mosaic work produced by Cirencester workshops. There are several examples of Saxon building, while in the Stroud valleys abandoned mills and canals are the mark left by the Industrial Revolution. Gloucestershire has always been known for its abbeys, but most of them have disappeared or lie in ruins. However, few counties can equal the churches that remain here. These are many and diverse, from the ‘wool’ churches in Chipping Campden and Northleach, to the cathedral at Gloucester, the abbey church at Tewkesbury or remote St Mary’s, standing alone near Dymock.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the malignancies with the highest morality rate due to postoperative local invasion and distant metastasis. Although C‑X‑C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) subunits have been reported as prognostic indicators in gastric cancer, the prognostic value of CXCR subunits in PDAC remains poorly understood. In the present study, the expression levels and biological functions of CXCR subunits were investigated using multiple publicly accessible bioinformatic platforms and databases. Survival analysis was used to evaluate the prognostic value of CXCR subunits in 112 early‑stage PDAC cases by setting the median expression levels as the cut‑off values. A nomogram was constructed to combine CXCR subunit expression levels and clinical data for prognosis prediction. Moreover, the association between CXCR subunit expression levels and tumor infiltration levels were detected in PDAC. The expression levels of CXCR subunits were elevated in PDAC tumor tissues. In the multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model, high CXCR2, CXCR4 and CXCR6 expression levels in early‑stage PDAC were associated with a more favorable prognosis. Further, it was demonstrated that the differential expression levels of CXCR subunits in PDAC for combined survival analysis could contribute to risk stratification. The nomogram model demonstrated the contribution of CXCR subunits and clinical features in the prognosis of PDAC. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis suggested that CXCR subunits serve a role in immunomodulatory functions. The expression levels and somatic copy number alterations of CXCR subunits were associated with tumor infiltration levels in PDAC. CXCR subunits were associated with prognosis in patients with early‑stage PDAC and may be potential drug targets for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. | <urn:uuid:0b25d84c-94e4-4aaf-aa60-03bdd319ed62> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.spandidos-publications.com/10.3892/ol.2020.11877/abstract | 2020-09-25T03:17:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.906028 | 639 |
The Normanton Park condominium development in Singapore is expected to rake in at least S$800 million in an en bloc sale, following more than 80% of homeowner approvals logged in a record process that took just 11 days, The (Singapore) Business Times reported.
The en bloc sale is anticipated to bring in gross profits sitting within the range of S$1.6 million and S$1.8 million for respective homeowners, should it be successful.
The condo is being marketed by Knight Frank for the en bloc sale, with an attached differential premium for site intensification expected at S$225.3 million and the lease top-up valued at an estimated S$220.6 million, which would yield a land rate of S$898 per square foot per plot ratio.
The current en bloc attempt marks the second time the development has tried to push such a sale forward, after a maiden attempt in October 2015 at the same reserve price fell through, according to the Aug. 10 report.
The 99-year leasehold 660,999-square-foot, 488-unit condo has 59 years remaining on its lease term.
As of Aug. 10, US$1 was equivalent to S$1.36. | <urn:uuid:87495466-26fe-4a00-9bcf-c018c7698f94> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/trending/uycwembtnylghwbwcgg9vw2 | 2020-09-25T04:20:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.941416 | 252 |
It’s so hard to believe my baby is three. Like seriously, where did the time go? I had to stop and just stare at him the other day because I can’t believe how much he’s changing and the little man that he’s become. It’s so bittersweet; he’s smart, independent, and kind… but he’s not a baby anymore and it breaks my heart. Parents, does them getting older ever get easier?!
We celebrated his birthday with family before we left Ohio. We didn’t have big celebrations there because we literally had Christmas two days before their party, but I thought they still deserved cake and ice cream. Everyone needs birthday wishes!
He wanted a Spiderman theme; I asked him months ago what he wanted and although he told me Spiderman then too, I waited until the week before to buy anything. This boy changes his mind and his clothes three times a day, so I didn’t want to buy a bunch of stuff and then have to change it last minute.
Before we knew that Z would be home early for his birthday party with his friends, I had booked it at a place where I knew they would take the reigns. I didn’t think I would be able to accommodate 15 toddlers, watch Miss P, handle picture taking, etc on my own, and I am SO happy we did! He had an absolute blast and for an hour and a half straight, the kids were active and being…kids!
He wanted a Spiderman theme for this party too, which worked perfectly because I used a lot of the same stuff I had used at his party in Ohio. And these cupcakes, seriously cool, right? I wish I could take credit for them but I certainly can’t. Mine would have looked like Nolan made them. In fact, he probably would have done a better job.
They played “What time is it Spiderman?”, swung on their webs through the city (rings) and knocked down a building (mat). They popped bubbles, zip lined, bounced on the trampoline, played football, and tag! I was a little worried because Nolan was sleeping when we arrived and NOT in a good mood, but after a few seconds of his friends asking him to come play, he was good to go! I have such cute pictures but I didn’t ask the parents about putting them on here and don’t want to do that without permission. So you’ll just have to take my word for it 🙂
I love that N was able to choose something he wanted for his birthday and have so much fun with his friends. We are so lucky to have so many great friends here with kids who get along so well together. Birthdays are a huge deal to me and I loved celebrating my baby turning 3 in the best way we could!
Happy birthday baby… mommy and daddy love you 🙂 | <urn:uuid:32cff6d4-f4d0-4d26-b919-848e37549d77> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.thesamanthashow.com/my-spidey-mans-birthday-celebrations/ | 2020-09-25T03:12:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221980.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925021647-20200925051647-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.989739 | 612 |
HR best practices before, during and after a merger or acquisition
All of the big players in consulting and analysis have the same message when it comes to corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&A): the failure rate consistently hovers between 70 and 90%.
One way to measure success is stock price, but only one third of companies involved in an M&A in 2015 saw their company's stock price rise after the deal. And the stakes have never been higher – in the US alone there was a 60% increase of M&A activity year-over-year and companies are paying record-high valuations for acquisitions. Given these trends, a disconcerting number of companies are poised to experience M&A failure on a major scale.
While the failure rate and negative impact of mergers or acquisitions is alarming, it also presents a promising opportunity for senior HR professionals.

Ohh, I have a treat for you today! Treat, as in a sizzling hawt excerpt. *fanning self*
I haven’t known this author for long, but I tell you what, it feels like I’ve known her forever. She is an amazing woman with a kind spirit, so I’m more than happy to share her work with you.
Now before you read this, make sure to have a nice big glass of cold water in reach, ’cause it’s about to get HOT. 😉
I present to you, Portals of OZ by Sheri Fredricks!
She came to Willow Bay to satisfy her curiosity of human life, and got more than she bargained for.
Jack, an archeologist bent on discover…
He can’t wait to leave Pennsylvania and return to his explorations in Australia, where life is filled with dingos and roos.
Human hunters stalk the enthralling Abelia, and Jack comes to her rescue. The hunters back off, but she suddenly vanishes, and he’s left confused as he returns home to the rugged Outback.
They’ll risk it all…
When Abelia magically appears in Jack’s kitchen, she must divulge who and what she really is, and risk the mythic people’s secret for his help to return home. Meanwhile, he risks his heart to convince her to stay.
Abelia rocked her hips forward. She rode his hand with instinct, and a passion so pure that it dragged Jack down into her uninhibited intensity. He grasped hold and tugged the top of her sundress down farther and used a ferocious suction on her nipple that caused her to cry out. His thumb pressed and flicked while his finger slid rhythmically deeper. Jack’s hard won self-control all but disintegrated as he slipped a second finger into her amazingly snug channel.
Her body jolted with a burst as is she’d become overwhelmed with sensation, and he reveled in her responsiveness. Her hands gripped his wrist, desperately holding him to her, and she again cried out from his teasing fingers.
The wood floor lay unforgiving beneath his knees, yet he hardly felt its bite as he slid lower over Abelia’s body. When his eyes were even with her glistening sex, Jack removed his hand and in a quick movement, replaced it with his mouth. He sealed his lips to the lips of her sex, and sweet nectar tantalized his tongue. Craving more, he licked and sucked, stroking her receptive body closer to climax.
“Should I make you come, sweetheart?” His voice echoed in the empty room as a thought occurred to him. “Can I make you come? Are you different from humans that way?”
“Please, Jack.” She gasped, her green eyes glittering like emeralds, filled with need as impatient as his own.
He doubted she was conscious of anything but what her sleek body cried out for, but her eyes were focused on him. He knew she saw him, saw the need within him.
“Please…” she repeated on a moan.
If he didn’t get in her soon, he’d crawl out of his bloody skin. His cock was full, throbbing, ready to explode. Jack leaned up and sat back on his heels, easing the zipper down past the lump.
Abelia’s eyes widened when his engorged cock sprang free of his jeans, then she licked her lips and smiled. A subtle hip rotation coupled with her unconscious pelvic thrust, and he nearly came unglued before they even began.
One-handed, he shoved his pants down, past his thighs.
Jack hooked an arm behind her knee and stretched her leg up high. With his other hand, he held his rigid penis and bathed the spongy head in her fiery pool of wetness. Her legs flexed, thighs spreading to welcome him, the sight too erotic to bear. A luscious show played as he slipped and slid against her flared pink skin, his cock jerking at the contact with the moist heat. Throbbing and swollen, the head of his cock notched at her snug opening.
He leaned forward and kissed her hard, sweeping inside so she could taste herself on his tongue. In careful, controlled bursts, he pushed inside her snug body by excruciatingly slow inches. Her little tight channel swallowed him up, every agonizing increment.
Abelia threw her head back, keening in loud gusty huffs.
Need consumed him in a roiling storm, and his breath grated fiercely as he wrestled to focus. To stay in control. But it was hopeless. Jack was too primed, the deep-rooted throb of his body an unbearable thrill. He pulled back, and slammed home hard. Again.
In an instant, her breath hitched and she gasped with unbound pleasure.
While his lips explored her throat, he felt her moan vibrate against them as her body burst around his cock. Convulsions ripped through her that endeavored to squeeze the essence out of him.
Locked in orgasm, Abelia’s body crackled like electricity, humming with astounding bliss.
Never before had he felt a splintered impact of pleasure as he did right now with her body milking him in turbulent upheaval. And never had he experienced such a sense of amazing satisfaction when she lay breathless and seemingly boneless beneath him.
Close to the edge of a mind-blowing cliff, he lurched forward once more. He ground himself so deep into her womb that he felt the rising wave of his release from a different plane within him.
Abelia lifted her sweet thighs to wrap them higher over his hips. It sank him further into her, and he shattered.
For a moment, he made no sound. His vocal cords remained frozen in spasm as he crested over. A star burst behind his tightly shuttered eyes and sudden scalding heat pulsed from his body and into hers. The release burst forth in profound, satisfying rushes that forced him to cry out from deep in his throat.
Gripped in endless pleasure, the tense muscles in his braced arms trembled as he was hit by the percussion of rippling post-orgasmic shudders that coursed through her, obliterating his consciousness.
Glorious bloody hell.
*wipes sweat from forehead* Damn that was sexy!

Clocks were reset to their proper setting and suddenly I have to bike home in darkness. Until the snow arrives. Can't wait.
Mr analysis says zero asymmetry :/ This is only for the second run with the cleaned up DAQ and shoddy beam, need to clean up the data from the first run with the crappy plots, see what that gives.
I had been thinking about upgrading my sound equipment and looked through the multitude of headsets out there, which of course are mainly targeted at gamers. (And airport personnel.) Treble bumps for clear "reproduction" of foot-steps coming up from behind, extra sturdy construction for whenever you rip the headset off your noggin' and throw it to the floor boards in frustration (as you do), style (since nobody wants to look like an idiot when they get owned, oh the irony) and on it goes. Being a bit of a "proper nerd", I prefer comfort and sound _qualiteh_ to be able to indulge myself in proper music, so I stopped looking at silly gamer gear and started browsing audiophile forums (first geekhack and now head-fi). I am still just a student so in the end I settled for the Denon AH-D2000 which is currently 200 EUR at amazon.fr, and there's also a FIIO E10 DAC+amp combo somewhere in the french postal service heading my way. Incredibly comfortable headphones and they sound really good even without the amp, but I did see pretty early on what the recessed mids were all about. Nothing an eq can't fix for my as of yet under-developed audio hypersensitivity. Can't really recommend them as I haven't tested much else worth mentioning. Good sound and very, very comfortable, still not very expensive.
Decided to give "pure" nickel strings a go on my guitar, waiting for those as well (Pyramid, why not go for the best while you're at it, eh?). Tucked in a glass and a brass slide too, I love the thick roar and smooth vibrato of sliding.
Rewrote my C++ parser for the code coverage from a crude variable driven state machine to a scope based state machine. There are pros and cons to both, but in the long run, having a simple set of rules for specific sections of code will make the code easier to delve into after not having looked at it for a few weeks which is how I roll when I go developing stuff.
Battlefield 3 has been released, but I bought Scratches on sale at GOG instead. BF3 looks nicer (the metro in the beta was really pretty), but Scratches is sooo much more interesting.

Described as a companion series by Robert Kirkman, when the show was first announced in 2013, he says the new show is an “opportunity to make a show that isn’t tethered by the events of the comic book, and is truly a blank page.” Kirkman went on to say “There are many corners of ‘The Walking Dead’ universe that remain unseen in the shadows. Being given the opportunity to shine a light into those corners and see what lurks out there is an absolute thrill. I know the fans are anxious to hear what Dave and I have been cooking up for this new universe of ‘The Walking Dead,’ and I’m happy to be one step closer to sharing it with them.”
Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd and David Alpert will continue in their role as executive producers. Dave Erickson, the show’s co-creator and co-writer will serve as showrunner.
AMC President Charlie Collier said in his press release “Almost from the beginning of ‘The Walking Dead’ on AMC, fans have been curious about what is going on in the zombie apocalypse in other parts of the world. In fact, beyond requests for zombie cameos, it’s the question I get asked the most.” Collier also added “Obviously, we all take our stewardship of the original franchise incredibly seriously and we, along with Robert, Gale, David and now Dave, are all proceeding with extreme care in order to ensure that we are offering fans something truly compelling, engaging and distinct. We’re thrilled to be taking this next step with these remarkable partners.”
AMC have described the order as a “pilot episode” seemingly indicating that show is intended to go to series.

Arctic Grayling by Ken McBroom
The Arctic Grayling is a non-anadromous salmonid fish which inhabits subarctic and Arctic region streams of North America and Europe. Grayling emerge from their winter homes to spawn in early spring. Three and four year old Grayling move into shallow water to spawn as the males take on a brilliant display of colors in order to impress the females. Grayling do not build nests for their eggs; instead the male wraps his huge dorsal fin around the back of the female as she drops a few thousand eggs into the water. The male releases milt and the fertilized eggs are carried by the current to the bottom of the stream and buried in the sand. Incubation is two to three weeks. The newly born Grayling eat algae and very small aquatic insects throughout the summer reaching a size which will allow them to survive the harsh winter.
Grayling prefer clear water streams and during the short summers, feed aggressively on aquatic and terrestrial micro-invertebrates. Grayling have been found to occupy the same section of stream, for this short feeding time, year after year. This behavior is believed to be due to the fact that searching for other places to feed would expend too much energy and time and so they return each summer to essentially the same feeding lanes.
The Grayling is an excellent sport fish. However; even with its beauty, acrobatic displays and its willingness to aggressively take a dry fly, the Grayling tends to wane in popularity among its many peers swimming within the same waters. This is actually good news to the angler who wants to enjoy a peaceful day fishing with little or no competition from other anglers. Here are a few noted observances by anglers and biologist that could be of interest to you.
The Grayling is a very aggressive feeder and will chase anything that looks like food. Smaller Grayling, due to severe competition with other Grayling, will actually leave the water to grab an unsuspecting flying insect. The larger Grayling, on the other hand, has little competition as he controls his feeding lane. In order to conserve energy the large Grayling will move as little as possible to align itself with the food drifting its way and rarely chases its food like the smaller fish. Keep this in mind when looking for trophy Grayling as the action provided by the smaller Grayling in the more shallow open water may be enough for you to forget the large fish lying in the deeper pools waiting for your offering.
Small flies and spinners work great for Grayling. Almost any color will do. Be aware of the Grayling roll when dry fly fishing. When taking a bug on the surface the Grayling will first roll over the bug, or fly, in what seems to be an attempt to drown or just submerge the morsel before devouring it. Just keep this in mind as you will tend to set the hook on the roll before the Grayling has the fly in its mouth resulting in a miss and a duck as you try to miss the fly whizzing back at you at super sonic speeds.
Although the Grayling is not the most popular fish in Alaska, it is only because there has to be a favorite and with the many different species available in Alaska the Grayling just happens to be one of the least sought after. So if you want to get away from the crowds and enjoy some fast pace action, look for the Grayling to fill the bill. | <urn:uuid:257ac08e-712c-4a02-a1dc-6d7efa453771> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://waterandwoods.net/2008/11/arctic-grayling/ | 2020-09-26T12:10:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.96604 | 707 |

Sweet Christmas! Last week’s look at issue 50 got me completely pumped for this series, but also, snuck in with the excitement, joy, shock, and horror, was a feeling of dread…we’re rapidly approaching the end of volume one with issue 59. Crud cakes, denizens, I don’t want it to end. Especially not after the insanely great past few issues, but I can at least take solace in the fact that there are eight issues remaining from where we left off last week, and spoiler alert!…the three we look at today are great. But don’t despair. Once we reach the end of volume one, we still have a couple annuals <groan…oh no>, X-Men and the Micronauts, and Micronauts the New Voyages to look at. We’ll get to those in time, but for now…
|The Micronauts #52|
Young Donist - Okay, I had seen Baron Karza do some heinous stuff throughout my favorite series, but what he does to the mer-people of Waterworld?!?! Criminy. Seeing genocide played out panel-by-panel, page-by-page was horrifying. Even Karza’s chief scientist, the brutal Degrayde, was shocked by what took place. As cool as Karza looks, I was more than hoping to someday see Lady Coral, the only Waterworld survivor—remember, she was the only one who chose to remain human—take up the trident and at least foil Karza’s plans in a coming issue. <brrrrrrr and grrrrrrr> To further traumatize my 12-year-old mind, we have Acroyear and Cilicia meeting in combat to the death, when one is just wrong about their assumptions of what happened to Spartak (the former Acroyear world) and the other would never harm the person he loved. The whole situation was just so messed up.
This issue also had a ton of words, which usually intimidated me, but with this issue I began to understand more about drama and pacing, and that all of the words were not necessarily an exposition bomb, but had something meaningful to contribute to what was happening; I didn’t skip a word of this issue. Those final three panels on the final page made me sad for my favorite heroes, but despite the downer feeling I had, I often returned to this issue over the years to watch a beautifully choreographed battle between two characters I adored. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Current Donist - I’m going to start with a negative here. Why was/is it a “thing” to depict a key turn, a spoiler, on the cover of the book you are reading? I hated DC’s fairly-recent “WTF” month where they flat out spoiled the surprise of the issue. Ugh. The Micronauts #51 showed a battle between Acroyear and Cilicia, yet they only got around to preparing for a battle in the actual issue. This issue shows Cilicia with her stomach bared with sparklies coming out of it, as Acroyear looms shocked in the background. What is someone with half a brain supposed to gather from this? Oh whoa, Cilicia’s pregnant! That is indeed a cool twist, and one that ultimately loses its impact when you actually reach that intense moment on page 24. Why do this, denizens? Why?! <sob> Okay, griping aside, and the fact that the cover for issue 51 should have been the cover for 52, and the cover for 52 left as a pinup at the end, let’s focus on how tremendous an issue this actually is.
The cover, although unnecessarily spoilerish, is gorgeous. I love the look on Acroyear’s face, the sadness and shame of Cilicia’s body languange, the predominantly monochromatic red scheme, and the wonderful highlights on Acroyear’s face; it’s a beautiful cover. The interiors, though…man, oh man. This issue may as well be a Guice showcase titled “How To Create a Sequential Masterpiece by Butch Guice.” From the 50%/50% vertical split page (half roll call, half Karza looming in the sky above Waterworld) on page one, through the beautifully choreographed fight scene, to the final page that maintains the emotional punch it did three decades ago, every panel is stunning. *I need to see if I can find any images of the original black and white art for this issue on the web*
Despite wanting to see this issue as only the original art, this is not to say that the lettered dialogue and captions are not worthy of greatness; there is nothing further from the truth. A few of the past issues throughout the series really beat the reader up with the exposition, but not here. Yes, there are tons of words on the page, but Chiang’s lettering keeps it all “hidden,” and every word balloon and caption box enhances the wonderful story. The entire issue plays clearly in my mind as if I were watching a cinematic movie. Young Donist loved this issue even though there was no grand battle between the heroes and villains. Current Donist loves this issue because of this fact, and calls #52 a triumph. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Young Donist - I had no idea what I was looking at on the cover, but I liked it. The Micronauts as mobsters seemed like an odd direction to go, but I loved the costume designs enough to be fully onboard—so long as it was for only an issue or two. Seeing Acroyear get his armor back had me muttering a prolonged “Yesssssssss!” I also dug the confrontation with the entranced Commander Rann and Fireflyte, and finally accepted his beard and his belief that gaining the aid of the Enigma Force is the way to go.
I will say that after the emotional one-two punch of the previous issue, I was relieved to get down to a slightly more light-hearted story; complete with violence, mayhem, and death. In truth, this issue was fun and faithful to the story I hold dear. The cliffhanger of the G-Men villains left me amped for the next issue. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Current Donist - Now this cover is more like it. Nothing spoiled, but you are given a glimpse into what you can expect with this issue. I love the darks in the background and the spotlight on my heroes successfully gives the impression that this is a crime/noir story. I also suspect that seeing Mari with the garter and the heavy eye makeup rewired something in my young mind that now makes me partial to…let’s just completely bury that thought while I still can. <phew> Anyhow, I still adore this story. Even though it is sort of a break from the main conflict, it is a welcome diversion as it seems that the creators had a heck of a good time putting the book together. The dialogue, although silly in parts, made me smile, and seeing the Micronauts wail on their foes was awesome. Again, there were tons of word balloons and captions, but it did not pull me out of the story at all.
The art in issue 52 looks different from issue 51, and 53 looks different from 52. I'm not sure what it is, as Guice pencilled and inked both 52 and 53, but it is the style that is slightly different. This is not a negative, I’m merely pointing out that something has changed, the book still looks as fantastic as ever. The only thing that stands out—and I noticed this as a kid—is that Bug’s antennae have tripled in size and look kind of doughy. Not sure what this is about, but it’s fine. The various designs of the alien prisoners are insanely cool, and the mobster costuming is great. Man, this was fun. Also…Huntarr is my BOY!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
|The Micronauts #54|
Young Donist - Okay, this cover freaked me out. Mari front and center with a look of fear on her face as the rest of her team lies at her feet? <brrrrr> Not to mention the blood red background and the shadowy figure with their hand on the switch…I dove into this issue like a wild cat. My first reaction was “Hey! Why doesn’t Huntarr get featured on the roll call? That’s not cool." What was cool, however, was launching into the action and seeing the fight between the Micronauts and the G-Men. I loved that some lost, some won, but in the end there were just too many dog soldiers running around. Mari whupping ass is an awesome high point at the beginning, but that blow she takes to the head made me shudder. Once in the prison, I loved loved loved the page where Acroyear keeps tapping the green froggy fella on shoulder until the point the creep turns around and Acroyear clobbers him; too funny. I also liked the idea of Murder-1, but I didn’t like his gross, lumpy-headed character design, but even that was not enough lower my estimation of this great issue. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Current Donist - Yup, I’m still loving this two-part storyline quite a bit. Again, the style is different with this issue, but this time, it is the addition of new inker—and future Micronauts artist—Kelly Jones to the mix. Like I said on issue 53, this is not a negative, as this is yet another gorgeous issue, it is just a noticeable change and something that should be pointed out. Seeing Mari pummel the bejesus out of…well, everyone…still has me crushing somethin’ fierce on her, but overall there’s not much more for me to say about this this beautifully illustrated, superbly-written finale to this two-part storyline. As much as I loved this issue, the back cover foretells “Huntarr Hunts alone!” and I could not be more excited to read it. That said, the conclusion to the Prisonworld storyline is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Oh crud. Only five issues left in the first volume, and I already have a major case of the sads setting in. But let’s ignore that feeling, denizens, let’s keep focusing on the awesome times we had and the promise of the “Huntarr Hunts Alone!” story in the next issue, that I distinctly remember as having messed me up for a while as a kid—by “messed up,” I mean it was dark, gnarly, but crazy good. Thank you so much for reading, and leave me a comment if you have a moment, as I would love to hear about YOUR favorite issues, artists, characters, experiences with this phenomenal series.
While writing this entry, I listened to Spotify’s prebuilt station titled “Intense Studying,” which consists of all classical tracks and the ultimate in wordless background music that is perfect for…well…studying, or writing, or creating. There are also some fantastic soundtrack compositions from both Amelie and The Piano included in the mix, so check it out. | <urn:uuid:dda89931-2527-4136-b458-6f8ddc7cd3e2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.donistworld.com/2014/04/ | 2020-09-26T12:02:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.96834 | 2,449 |
Jo has been an all-star the past few weeks, each day he shows more progress. In fact, he does so well at times it makes me nervous about posting, then I realize God is in control, he is working his way back.
Jo is showing cognitive progress!
I'll spare the post from detailed rants about insurance. The real health care crisis is less about coverage and more about a system designed to send any family, covered or not, into an abyss of debt. We are the luckiest family I know, we have amazing support and I am blessed with great coverage from my employer. Even with that you see what a game is played with these providers. Drs. and insurance companies in constant debate about what is "needed" and what is wanted. An endless stream of letters of "medical necessity" clearly designed to slow the process and delay benefits. Every initial claim is denied, then reviewed, then approved or denied again because they need more info and yet another "medical review". Then ultimately approving what was clearly a necessity from day one, at least 30-45 days after it was needed. In the middle of it all are amazing nurses, Drs, and parents all trying desperately to do the right thing for their loved ones. It is absolutely exhausting to keep up, but I am motivated by getting Jo everything he needs regardless of denials and bureaucracy. I am 100% certain, as I've learned this lesson with my autistic son previously, the insurance company is counting on your weakness, banking on you forgetting, capitalizing on your frustration, and drawing every request out as long as possible, assuming you will give up, they've got the wrong family is they expect that.
Enough negativity, we cannot thank you all enough for the support, we are blessed, and Jo is doing better everyday. He has already defied every prediction about his future, and he and God are just getting started!
Jojobinks, keep smiling for us it lifts us so high we can'T help but cry. You are coming back completely and the Lord is with you. We will be patiently waiting with you, God is giving us strength to rely on his plan. We love you to the moon and back sweet angel, YOU'VE GOT THIS!!! | <urn:uuid:4bfce4b8-40f5-4763-9986-ffe8fa777296> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.jowitz.com/home/keep-smiling | 2020-09-26T11:57:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.980633 | 459 |
The Ministry of Interior Wednesday morning has signed a working contract with the multinational security service company known as G4S, on the grounds of strengthening the security of Kuwait International Airport through series of consultations and specialized training for the airport security workforce.
The ministry, through its media security department disclosed that this London based company is one of the leading companies in the field of airport security, and that this step has been taken in order to increase the level of security of the country’s airport to the highest possible international standard, although it was not clarified whether this step was prompted by the attack on Istanbul’s Ataturk airport Tuesday night.
On behalf of the Minister of Interior Sheikh Mohammad Al-Khaled, the media department stated that this step is but one amongst a series of planned directives aimed at raising the efficiency of airport security alongside the upgrade of security equipment as to keep up with the technological developments of this field.
The minister added that the Interior Ministry has deemed it vital to upgrade the level of airport security in order to prevent any possible dangers and correct flaws pointed out by technical reports, hopefully bringing its status up to one of the safest airports in the region and the world

---If I'm not mistaken one of the security firms for an American company is G4S and they have security guards from Fiji working in their apartment building. Those guys are huge, I had to ask where the were from because they reminded me of The Rock and they told me Fiji, I also had to ask if they had tribal tattoos and do the war dance and they said yes. This led me to ask if they performed their war dance and said maybe October, that would be awesome to see.
If they hired guys from Fiji for the airport I'm sure there wouldn't be any problems, who wants to mess with a 6'5 man with huge arms? | <urn:uuid:47cf21b5-3d0a-4d69-937c-0408b9977c5c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.lifeinkuwaitblog.com/2016/06/g4s-taking-over-kuwait-airport.html | 2020-09-26T12:15:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.982868 | 386 |
For this Poster Monday spot of the day we have work from the talented Alejandro Ortiz from Bogota, Colombia. Alejandro originally studied cinema but ended up working in advertising agencies as an art director. “To me, poster design is one of the most difficult practices in visual communication, and that’s why I feel so committed to it. It’s challenging and even frustrating at times, but nothing compares to the feeling you get when you find the perfect match between message and image.” says Alejandro.
The poster we are featuring here is called “Dance Steps”. According to Alejandro, “Climate warming is a very common theme and I wanted to approach the subject; I challenge myself to talk about climate warming using dark humor. I think about our habits, our choices, our hobbies and I wanted to explore the values within a society that is resigned to endure the consequences of climate change without trying to change their ways. Merging scuba diving and dancing felt like a fresh point of view.” From this different perspective the poster is a bleak vision of the future, through a very common practice such as dancing, it seems like it is better to resign than fight to stop the effects of climate warming.
As you already may know all submissions are considered each week, so your poster might make it to our website in the future. If you would like to submit a poster to be featured on Poster Mondays find all the info you need in our Submissions page. | <urn:uuid:7fa03999-20a7-4442-b91b-7c18f136c389> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.posterposter.org/poster-monday-dance-steps/ | 2020-09-26T12:08:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.966582 | 306 |

As a deer longs for flowing streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God.
— Psalm 42:1
This picture from the Jewish Mindfulness Face Book page started me day-dreaming about standing on the bridge and listening to the forest around me and I thought how lovely and restful. So today I offer you an opportunity for a little springtime dreaming. I invite you to use this photo for the practice of Visio Divina. Before you begin, sit for a moment with your feet on the floor, close your eyes and breathe deeply, letting your body relax and open your soul’s heart. Now open your eyes and let your imagination and God’s love lead you through the following steps.
Study the picture slowly, taking a first glance noting the colors, trees, the water, places and things. Imagine what smells you might detect, water, earth, green growing things. Remain with the image for one to two minutes. If you would like, jot down a few words about the image.
Take a second, deeper, look. Where is there movement? What relationships do you see? Engage your imagination. Where are you in the picture? What do you see from that perspective? What deeper meaning emerges?
Respond to the image with prayer. Did the image remind you of an experience, person or issue for which you’d like to offer thanksgiving or intercession? Offer your thoughts as prayer to God.
May all your dreams be filled with flowing streams, warm sunshine and cool shade.
A recent meditation had the following journal question “If you knew you were dying what would you write or say to your children or grandchildren?” That question stopped me cold. What would I say to grandson and granddaughter, Liam and Amelia? How would I describe my love, and fears, for them? How would I tell them of my life lived with my own loves, fears, and regrets? What would I say, what would you say?
During this Easter season I have been writing about the ways we express our feelings of the resurrection, and the many ways we witness to others our faith in the resurrection. Sharing ourselves with the next generation is also a witness to our beliefs in the resurrection. The question above is an important one, challenging us to inspect our past and present lives and how that information could impact the lives that follow us. I thought long and hard about what I would, will, say to my grandchildren and all of it wasn’t bright flowers and sunshine.
What might say, well I would of course tell them I love them very much, how grateful I am for having them in my life, and I will miss them. I would ask for their forgiveness in my part for leaving them a world that is wounded and in pain, and a political system that doesn’t function. I would tell them that no matter what they do in life their parents and I would always love them from wherever we are. While their future is impacted by the world I leave behind it is still their future to make into what ever dream they reach for. Following those dreams may not be easy, or always fun, but are worth the effort if they truly believe in them. I would also tell them it is OK that they don’t believe in the Divine as I do, but, discovering their own pathway to something greater than themselves is important in finding their moral, loving, compassionate lives. I would want them to stand up against injustice even when it is hard to do so, to see the good in people and all creation even when the night is darkest. I want them to climb their most difficult mountains and to not be afraid of the challenges because I will be right there beside them cheering them on. I want my grandchildren to be fearless in the face adversity, to be strong when everyone else is weak, and to be gentle when touched by beauty.
What I want most for my beloved Liam and Amelia is to live a life that is not self-centered but other-centered. I want them to live a life that sees the best in the worst, the beauty in the ugly, and love in what is hatred. I can’t leave them with much but when I make my final passage from this world to the next I want them to know I cared about them, and want them to be the best at whatever they want to be.
So that is some of what I would tell my grandchildren, what would be in your letter to your children? We live in and uncertain world and we never know when our last day in this world will arrive. We all too often leave too much unsaid to those we love the most. So my journal question to you this week is: “If you knew you were dying what would you write or say to your children or grandchildren?”
May you find the words in your heart for those you leave behind.
Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God,
serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.
–1 Peter 4:10
Jesus Washing Peters Feet
Ford Madox Brown, 1821-1893
My morning’s meditation topic was “service” and it started a train of thought (ok it was actually a brain worm but let’s not quibble) about how I “serve” others. I must admit there are times when I am not very nice and I do it only because I have too or to prevent an argument. I am quite good at rolling the old eyeballs in those instances.
But that is not what Jesus taught; the Gospel of Mark records Jesus saying “Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.” (Mark 9:35b) In fact all through scripture we are called to be God’s servants and, from my perspective, if we are all, humanity and creation, images, the manifestation of God in the world then it makes perfect sense that we are also servants of all we encounter, human or otherwise. To be a true witness of the resurrection is to serve, with joy, our fellow travelers on this planet. That means caring for the earth and all that lives on it. It means caring for those who cannot care for themselves, speaking up for those who have no voice and doing all with grace and with every ounce of our God given gifts. One of my favorite rituals is foot or hand washing. To personally hold someone’s hand or foot in your hands, pouring the water over them, wrapping them in a towel and then look them in their eyes and tell them they are beloved by God gives me chills.
But rituals aside service means anything that places you in the position of servant. Cleaning the home of an elderly friend or family member, mowing the lawn and weeding the garden when you know the owner can’t bend over anymore, creating a garden and sharing the harvest with neighbors or a shelter all are ways we may offer our service. But there are even simpler ones that often get overlooked; such as picking someone up for an event, calling on the ill, taking out the garbage or keeping a room clean. These are services that make life easier for others and, when done with joy, happiness in our own lives.
So this week I am challenging you to 1) notice when you do a simple act of service, and 2) if the opportunity comes up to offer your special gifts to others to give it a try. When you do you are witnessing the resurrection in action and love blossoms.
“And of His Signs is that He created mates for you from yourselves that you might find peace of mind in them, and He put between you love and compassion al-Qur’an 30.21
With one silent laugh
You tilted the night
And the garden ran with stars. – Jalal-ud-Din Rumi
To love someone, especially someone who doesn’t expect you to love them, may be the most important of the spiritual practices. Love is a grace of God given freely to all and as Oscar Hammerstein wrote “Love in your heart isn’t put there to stay. Love isn’t love till you give it away.” God put love in our hearts to be shared with all creation, not just humanity but animals, flowers, and yes, even rocks. To truly love is as close as we get to being the image of God.
This week share your love with a family member, a friend, an adversary, an enemy. Let the love in your heart out and be God’s image in the world.
For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” Matthew 18:20
On Monday this week I volunteered at Common Ground, a Hospitality Space in Everett, WA. From Monday through Thursday, from 8 AM to 12 Noon, the homeless or those who live on the edge of homelessness come in for coffee, tea, and whatever snacks the Space receives by donation. While the makeup of the guests varies from day to day many come every morning and have discovered they will be received with a cheerful smile and an invitation to eat and talk. This is true communion for four mornings a week. The Pastors Rebecca and Luke Sumner have created a space where everyone feels safe and welcome. This is a place where food, warm drink, and an available ear for listening are always present. This is also hospitality at its finest.
For this Easter Season I am offering spiritual practices that reflect how we are witnesses of and express the light of the resurrection. When I volunteer at Common Ground I am witnessing firsthand the light of Christ’s resurrection in two young pastors and with their volunteers. When a person comes in to Common Ground they are not turned away, rather, Luke and his volunteers make sure each one is fed and offered a warm drink. When they have socks, hats, gloves or scarves they hand those out, making sure those who need them the most are the first ones to receive them. Volunteers sit down with the guests and get to know them as people not just as that unkempt person on the corner. As a volunteer I have found that the most important thing I can do is begin a conversation and then simply listen to often amazing stories of life that I normally only read about. I discover just how much alike we all are.
Yes there are those who drink too much, who abuse drugs, those whose mental illness has dropped them through the cracks of society and those who are just down on their luck. But at Common Ground none of that matters, all are fellow humans trying to make it in this life, all are beloved Children of God who only want to be seen and accepted for who they are. I am always tired when I leave Common Ground but I am also filled with an different kind of energy that keeps me coming back to visit with those I have met before and those I have yet to meet.
Common Ground may not look like a sacred space but it is. Here are the people Jesus of Nazareth spoke to first, ate with, joked with, and made the ultimate sacrifice for. Here I see the resurrection light shining in the Pastors, the volunteers, and the community that is forming out of street people and the discarded people of society. This is a spiritual practice that offers the concrete results of love in the form of food, drink and conversation and hands on spiritual practice where progress is heard in the proffered “thank you, I really appreciate what you do here.”
This week I offer the spiritual practice of hospitality. Sometime this week go out of your way to welcome someone or make someone comfortable. For example when I used to ride the bus to and from work or class I often would sit down next to a young mother; young mothers nearly always seem a bit frazzled. I would start up a conversation and then let them talk about their children and how their day is going. They mothers and the children often left the bus with a smile on their faces and I had just made a new friend. Hospitality isn’t just feeding or clothing the stranger, it’s really about being a real person to each and everyone you meet and being compassionate and honest in your speech and actions. To accept someone different from you is a magical beginning to new ways of seeing the world no matter who you are.
During this week may you discover that a full heart comes from emptying yourself by giving kindness and hospitality to others.
1After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like lightning and his clothing white as snow. 4For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. 5But the angel said to the women “Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. 6He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ This is my message for you.” 8So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.” –Matthew 28:1-10
We are now in the season of Easter, yes I said “season,” which is comprised of the weeks from Easter Sunday to Pentecost. This is a time of reflection on what it means to be a Christian and the significance of living a life of God’s people out in the world. Easter season is a time for all of us who are the church to focus on how we are witnesses of the resurrection in our daily lives. In the light of the Easter Season the weekly spiritual practices will focus on how we express the light of the resurrection to those we live and work with and those we meet in our goings and comings.
To begin this series of Spiritual Practices I would like to start with the Spiritual Practice of Intention. The practice of intention focuses on how you are “being” in the now, this very moment. Your intentions come from your own understanding of what is important to you in our ever changing world. When you reflect and meditate on what matters to you, what is most important to your inner self you learn to act out of that intention. Your commitment to, and actions in, the world around you will begin to reflect what you value most, and what lies within your heart. I am not talking about setting goals rather I am suggesting that you search your heart for what you value most. What is important about the spiritual practice of intention is you do not want to search for peace, stop thinking, or discover some enlightened thought. Rather you are looking to set an intention, discover what it is that you value most and then do you best to live into that intention as you go about your daily life.
For the practice I would like to suggest you take some time this week and contemplate what matters most to you. Two or Three times this week set aside 15 to 20 minutes to sit in silence, and explore your inner dreams, wishes, and desires. What is most important to you? Do you value peace, justice, or mercy, or something else? Contemplate how you might express that value in the coming weeks of living your daily life. Let yourself rest in the silence and in the voice of your heart offer up a prayer to the Divine asking for guidance and giving gratitude for the grace God has given you.
May the Eternal give you guidance and show you how to live as a child of the Everlasting. Amen
“for I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me”. – Matthew 25:35
I apologize for being late today, but, just returned from the Westar Institute Spring Meeting held in Santa Rosa CA. I returned a day late because I adopted the cute little fellow above. I ended up staying an extra day to bond with my new little friend before we made the long drive home.
You may be wondering how adopting a dog from shelter is related to a theological meeting but it does fit in quite well actually. A major theme of the meeting was hospitality, the welcoming of the other into our midst. That other may be someone from a different culture, race, faith tradition, age, or gender. It also means welcoming the non-human other. God intends us to express our welcome to all creatures, mammal, bird, fish, reptile, and (here’s the hard part for me) insects. God intended us to care for all nature, human, non-human, plant, and stone for all are children of God.
As I listened to the lectures and discussions I wondered when we lost the ability to care for others, human or non-human. When did we forget to practice loving the other and caring for the sick, the homeless, and the incarcerated? It doesn’t matter if the other in need is a man, woman, child, dog, cat, horse, or any other child of God, all deserve to live a good life and to be welcomed into our arms.
Ever since my beloved Suzie died in January from a stroke I have been considering adopting another Chihuahua and while I was in Santa Rosa I visited a Sonoma County Animal Shelter and was introduced to Louie. I thought about what it means to care for someone other than myself and while a small dog wouldn’t be everyone’s choice it is mine. So we are welcoming into our small home and family a new member. Louie was abandoned on the streets of Santa Rosa; he is between 3 and 5 years and was discarded like trash. A shy little fellow who is way smarter than you’d think. After all he has lived for some time on the streets, and survived. He is loving, gentle and wants only to be loved. Just like anyone who has been discarded and forgotten.
So this week, for our spiritual practice, I am asking you to practice hospitality. I’m not suggesting you go out and adopt a dog or any other animal, although I wouldn’t stop you. Rather I am suggesting that you see the homeless on the street for the people of God that they are. You might volunteer to spend a couple of hours helping out at a homeless shelter, food bank, or animal shelter. If you see a homeless person on the street, offer them a sandwich or granola bar. When you offer your gift, shake their hand look them in the face and see the Holy Spirit looking back. Talk to Terri Stewart about volunteering at the King County Juvenile Center and learn to see children of the streets as angels in disguise. If you are interested attend a service of a different faith tradition and listen with open heart and mind. At the end of the week reflect on what you have experienced and learned of the other. Offer a prayer for all who are forgotten and pushed aside.
Loving, welcoming Spirit may we see your face in the eyes all we meet, human and non-human. Help us to open our hearts to the stranger in our midst, and welcome them with open arms.
Open doors offer promise and fear, joy and sadness. Behind an open door there could be grandchildren waiting for fresh baked cookies, or maybe something else, something fearful waits for us. The above photo of an open door could be deceptive, there might be a garden beyond or there could be a path to a destination we didn’t want to travel. We will never know until we cross that threshold. Crossing into the unknown is one of the most frightening things we do as humans. The unknown is what we make of it and we can’t confront our fears or live our lives until we are willing to move through the door and confront what lies on the other side.
Today I am offering the spiritual practice of Visio Divina using the photograph above. Before you begin, sit for a moment with your feet on the floor, close your eyes and breathe deeply, letting your body relax and open your soul’s heart. Now open your eyes and let your imagination and God’s love lead you through the following steps.
Study the photo slowly, taking a first glance noting the colors, places and things. Remain with the image for one to two minutes. If you would like, jot down a few words about the image.
Take a second, deeper, look. What do you see? What draws you in? Engage your imagination and describe what lies beyond the door? What are you leaving? Where do you see yourself in the photo? What do you see from that perspective? What deeper meaning emerges?
What feelings arise within you as you gaze at the photograph? Do you feel fear; are you uncomfortable; are your excited or do you anticipate what you might find?
Respond to the image with prayer. Did the image remind you of an experience, person or issue for which you’d like to offer thanksgiving or intercession? Does the photo bring to mind an instance when you have stood at a door, either opened or closed? Offer your thoughts as prayer to God.
Find your quiet center. Breathe deeply. Relax your shoulders, arms and legs. Rest in this quiet. Let God pray in you. God prays beyond words.
Gracious Holy Spirit each day we stand at a new door, where our next challenge lies beyond. Give us strength to face whatever we find across the threshold. We are grateful for the courage you give us as you accompany us through each door. Amen
23He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; and when he had put saliva on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Can you see anything?” 24And the man looked up and said, “I can see people, but they look like trees, walking.” 25Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he looked intently and his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. – Mark 8:23-25
In January I had Cataract surgery and I must admit I never knew how much I was missing or how dark my world had become. One of the first things I noticed was that our light bulbs were a lot brighter and we didn’t need to change them after all. I also noticed evergreen trees, grass and the leaf buds on our Lilacs were so much greener than they were. The colors of the crocus and daffodils seemed to pop out like neon lights and I was amazed at how blue the sky was (that is when we had blue sky). The funniest thing was my IPad mini. I have a screen saver of stars and low and behold I just discovered there were also clouds in the picture. I couldn’t see them before.
I thought about the scriptures where Jesus healed those who were blind, especially the one where it took two tries before the man could see clearly. In many ways we are all like that one man. We see but we don’t really ‘see.’
My sudden clarity in sight has also made me think of all the things we miss because we don’t “see” them, really see them. We see the homeless man standing on the corner but we don’t really see him. We don’t see his pain, or his embarrassment, or his fear. What we see is a figure, as the blind man said as a walking tree, but we don’t see the human, the child of God who is before us. How many of you have taken the hand of a homeless person and looked into their eyes and saw the person for who they are, our brother or sister in God.
How many of you have gone to a jail and comforted the mother of a victim, or taken the hand of a felon and said you are loved by God, don’t be afraid. How many of you have seen children arrested for stealing drugs at their parent’s request or for stealing to provide for their family’s who are held in Juvenile Detention for a year or more because there parent or guardian can’t get clean from drugs or alcohol and there is no responsible adult to care for them. How many of you have held someone suffering from mental illness or PTSD and said ‘I’m here, you aren’t alone.’
If you haven’t volunteered at a shelter or soup kitchen yet find the time to do so. Volunteering there is a lesson in compassion and humility, of seeing people society throws away as our brothers, sisters, and friends who are in pain and afraid.
I am grateful that I am now able to see creation more clearly, the colors in sunrises and sunsets, and to rediscover the beauty of spring flowers. I love it that I can now see the faces of my friends and family, each and every one of them, more clearly. I love it that much that had been hidden by my own dark glass has been made clear. But today there is so much darkness, so much fear, so much hatred that clarity of sight is difficult for us all. Jesus said “I Am the Light of the world.” (John 9:5b) and in the words of the Prophet Mohammad “God is the Light of the heavens and the earth.” (Quran 23.35a) As people of faith we are to be the light that brings sight to the blind. We are called to bring the light of love, compassion, justice, and peace to a wounded world.
My recommended Spiritual Practice for this week is to open your eyes and SEE the world around you. Take the time to gaze at the beauty of a flower, and marvel at the rebirth of delicate green leaves on a tree. Let the beauty of creation refresh your heart and cleanse your eyes. Then take the time to see the people around you, offer a sandwich to the homeless man, woman, or teenager on the corner and take the time to look into their eyes and see your brother or sister, your son or daughter. Let them know they are known for whom they are a child of God.
Gracious Lord, you gave us eyes to see you in the face of all who surround us, to see you in a smiling baby’s face, the wrinkled face of an elderly, in the broken lives of the homeless and the hungry. In our rush of our daily living we become blind to all the love you have given us and we forget to pass on the love we are given to those in need. Help us in our blindness Lord. Amen
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. – 1 Corinthians 13:1
Today is Super-Tuesday, a day when political parties in mostly southern states choose who they want to run as their Presidential Candidate. So far in this election we have heard the traditional political rhetoric and a great deal of speech filled with anger, hate, bigotry, greed and plan nonsense. My choice of candidate is not important, no, rather what is important is that each of us look carefully at who is running and who has the American peoples best interest. Not just white, male, and wealthy, but all Americans regardless of socioeconomic status, choice of faith, where they come from, color of their skin, age, or gender identification. All Americans regardless of whether or not they have U.S. citizenship or hopes to attain American citizenship all must be considered equal participants in our society.
In the Gospel of Matthew Jesus says “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” We cannot serve the people, the Divines own people, if we serve our own self interests. When we love power, money, and status more than we love the people of God, whoever they may be, pain and suffering will be, has been, the result. We who call ourselves followers of the Divine, with whatever faith tradition we choose, must not let those whose primary interest is greed, hate, and power, and not the American people, or the people of the world be elected into a position where they could destroy the fabric of our nation and world.
So today, offer prayers for those voting, that they think carefully of their choices. To refuse to let false, hateful and self-serving rhetoric sway them. Rather pray that all people will stand together to push back the evil we are seeing displayed during this election year.
My prayer: May the hand of every voter be guided by the desire for a country that holds sacred the lives and well being of all who live in American and beyond. | <urn:uuid:2ecb7ecc-4c96-4870-b46a-9e9196542765> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://aquietwalk.com/category/spiritual-practices/ | 2020-09-26T11:18:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.969751 | 6,114 |

August is over. And, with two mini-breaks – mid Wales and North Devon, lovely, thanks for asking – that meant a lot of reading. In fact, there are a grand total of five books whose reviews will have to wait until September. Sorry about that – but if you’re interested, the long-hunted great Lorac, an early Bush, an entertaining Crofts and a couple of short story collections – the latest from the British Library and a book of mysteries that is rather magical.
But that’s for next month – along with yet more shameless Brian Flynn promotion – October 7th, put it in your diary – in the meantime, let’s take a look at this month’s reviewed reading.
Fourteen books to choose from for the August 2019 Puzzly – as follows:
Bodies From The Library 2 ed Tony Medawar – another intriguing collection of short stories, some never before reprinted. And the tales therein inspired the next few reads.
Love Lies Bleeding by Edmund Crispin – a charming tale and a great read, but not as perfect as I’d have hoped.
Suddenly At His Residence by Christianna Brand – a double locked room mystery, let down by at least one of them being utter nonsense.
A Puzzle For Fools by Patrick Quentin – the debut for Peter Duluth, a really strong tale, recently reprinted in the American Mystery Classics range.
Death Of Mr Gantley by Miles Burton – a good early Desmond Merrion tale. Not a classic, but well-constructed and an interesting read.
The Hangman’s Hands by Charles Wogan aka Brian Flynn – an interesting sideline from Flynn. Some way from his best work, but a fun read.
The Stars Spell Death by Jonathan Stagge – Patrick Quentin by another name. But this one is a massive disappointment. Poor.
There Was A Crooked Man by Clifford Witting – definitely an overlooked author. A very entertaining mystery.
Eleven Came Back by Mabel Seeley – an “isolated group gets killed one by one” novel, but the writing style is a little too histrionic for my tastes.
The Mad Hatter Mystery by John Dickson Carr – I had remembered this fondly, but it was disappointing this time round.
Murder Gone Mad by Philip Macdonald – tense serial killer, let down by the killer being basically picked at random at the end.
The Art Of Dying by Ambrose Parry – atmospheric, well-written and absorbing historical thriller, despite a fairly obvious gambit being used as part of the tale.
Rewind by Catherine Ryan Howard – a time-jumping tale of murder in an isolated hotel that makes good use of the gimmick rather than being controlled by it.
The Body In The Dumb River by George Bellairs – I might be in the minority here, but I found this weaker than the other Bellairs titles that I’ve read. Others disagree.
So many to choose from. The reason I say that is that two books really stood out, namely A Puzzle For Fools and Rewind. Because they’re so very different, it’s tricky to pick one of them… as it’s been a mostly Golden Age month, I feel that I ought to pick something from that era, but I’m going to ignore that feeling. Catherine Ryan Howard is, for me, one of the most exciting new crime authors, so the Puzzly for this month goes to Catherine for Rewind.

74: Cybertruck Build Video
The scope of December 2019 contest is as narrow as the lines on Tesla’s new Cybertruck. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to build a Cybertruck, and capture your build on video.
It’s like if a Delorean and a Hummer had love child that was rendered on a Nintendo 64. If you haven’t seen or heard of the recently revealed Cybertruck, the question on your mind is “Is this real?” Yes, this boxy brutalist beast is real. More likely you have heard of it and you hate it. Or you love it. One of those two. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
This time we’re doubling the prize pool to $600. If you’ve been following past contests you’ll know that the contests that are more complex tend to have less participants, leading to larger prizes for the few who do. If you’re the only one to submit a video for this contest, you get all $600. Your video must be uploaded to youtube, and show the completed cybertruck from a few angles, as well as document it’s construction to some degree.
You can use Zen Magnets, but you don’t have to. There are no brand or quantity restrictions. Use as many or as few magnets spheres as you want to build your replica. Maybe 217 magnets are all you’d need to make a fantastic representation..? Maybe.
Though the goal and shape is specific, videos always allow for a wide amount of creative freedom. Aside from video duration being a max 2 minutes, and minimum 15 seconds, you have the full range of creative liberty on editing, style, and effects.
Just ensure that we see the final product from multiple angles, and you capture the building process (in a time lapse or montage or however you want to impress your peer judges.)

Special Education and STEM. How Do Edmonds School District Teachers Teach STEM to Their Students?
MetadataShow full item record
This paper was written to gain an understanding of how high school special education teachers in the Edmonds School District are teaching STEM based curriculum to their students. Developing research shows that more must be done to address the unique needs of special education students, and more is still developing into how STEM can be taught effectively to fit those needs. After reviewing current literature on the topic of Special Education and STEM in Washington State, I have found barriers to both teachers and students that deserve further investigation. I hope this paper will be a positive addition to the discourse surrounding this topic by offering new insights that may lead to effective changes that will benefit students.

PS4 System Software Update 7.00 Beta Invites Begin
Sony has announced the PS4 firmware 7.00, to which it invites users in advance again to the BETA test. Selected users will receive the invitations from today.
One of the most important “innovations” this time again involves the reorganization of the Party Chat, in which up to 16 players can participate in the future. This feature also finds its way onto any console with the PS4 Firmware 7.00. Also mentioned is the improvement of voice chat in general.
Furthermore, there is the talk of an improvement in the performance of updates, according to which the PS4 does not have to be restarted every time. This can be set later via the system menu.
As with the last BETA test, the voucher codes can be shared again with 20 other friends to test the new features together. As a participant of the BETA, however, some features such as joint parties and share play are restricted.
If problems occur during the BETA test, a rollback via the system menu is possible at any time. Feedback can be left as usual in the official BETA Forums at this address. | <urn:uuid:ab7638e2-bd51-4168-a547-476283e7fcaa> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://gametransfers.com/ps4-system-software-update-7-00-beta-invite/ | 2020-09-26T11:34:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.951311 | 244 |

Draft Higher Education (Transparency Condition and Financial Support) (England) Regulations 2018
I beg to move,
That the Committee has considered the draft Higher Education (Transparency Condition and Financial Support) (England) Regulations 2018.
It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Christopher. I thank the noble Lords on the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee for their scrutiny of regulations under the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, which were laid in the other place in June and detailed in the Committee’s 35th report. I aim to speak today to draft regulations encompassing two elements of the Act that require approval.
Section 9 of the Higher Education and Research Act 2017 relates to the transparency condition. We have made much progress in widening access and success for students from disadvantaged and under-represented groups in higher education. Following the latest data from UCAS, as of the end of clearing, university application acceptance rates for English 18-year-olds to full-time study are at record levels. The proportion of disadvantaged 18-year-olds entering full-time higher education increased from 13.6% in 2009 to 24.4% in 2017—also a record rate for English applicants.
However, we want to go further and strive to ensure that anyone, no matter what their background, who has the talent and potential to benefit from higher education, is able to do so. I particularly want further improvements in the rates of progress for students from disadvantaged backgrounds going to the most selective institutions, and commensurate progress in the outcomes they achieve. For example, I want such students to experience rates of completion and attainment similar to those of other groups of students.
We have charged the new regulator, the Office for Students, to urge higher education providers—particularly the most selective ones—to make greater progress in such matters. The introduction of the transparency duty through section 9 of HERA is a vital measure that will support the OfS in making the further progress that we all want. The duty requires certain higher education providers to publish information on application, offer, acceptance, completion and attainment rates of students, by ethnicity, gender and socioeconomic background.
The duty will apply to all providers registered with the OfS—in both the “approved” and the “approved (fee cap)” parts of the register. It will ensure that data on admissions similar to that released by the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge in recent months, in anticipation of the duty, will be available from August 2019. That greater transparency will clearly identify which higher education providers need to do more to widen the access and success of students from disadvantaged and under-represented groups.
The duty also requires the information to be given to the OfS. Crucially, that will help to inform the OfS’s assessment of providers’ performance on access, student success and progression. To ensure that there is progress, the OfS will have the power to take action if the provider does not comply with its obligations, including those on access for and participation of students from disadvantaged and under-represented groups.
The OfS has a range of interventions and sanctions that it can use to push providers to make improvements. Its powers, should it find it necessary to use them, include putting additional registration conditions on providers, suspending them from the OfS register and imposing monetary penalties. That duty was broadly welcomed by Members in debates on the Higher Education and Research Act 2017.
During the passage of HERA the Government made a commitment to ask the OfS to undertake a consultation in respect of additional information on protected characteristics such as age and disability that should be made available by providers in the future to help to drive equality of opportunity for all students. I am pleased to be able to report that the OfS has undertaken a formal consultation on the matter and held a series of supporting events. The consultation was part of a wider consultation on the OfS’s work on access and participation. Its findings will be published later this year. Implementation of the duty through these regulations will be a crucial and effective step in helping to ensure that we make further progress on the access for, and success of, disadvantaged students as well as more broadly supporting informed choice for all.
The second part of these regulations, section 39 of HERA, allows the OfS to provide financial support for higher education. These funding powers broadly replicate the funding powers conferred on the Higher Education Funding Council for England by section 65 of the Further and Higher Education Act of 1992, but have been expanded to enable the OfS to fund any eligible higher education provider.
In the new system, eligible providers are those that are subject to a cap on the fees they can charge, and thus are registered in the approved “fee cap” part of the OfS register. These powers ensure that the OfS can continue to provide funding for those important subjects which cost more to teach than can be met solely from tuition fees, such as the science and medicine courses that are so crucial to the economic and social future of the country.
These powers also make it possible for the OfS to provide funding to incentivise and support providers’ work on widening participation, allow indirect funding of qualified schools, colleges or other institutions that are connected to an eligible higher education provider, and meet the unavoidable costs of small and specialist provision, such as performing arts courses. In those aspects, they are the same as the previous HEFCE powers. The new element is that under the new Act, the OfS has the power to financially support a wider range of bodies and delivery models.
In conclusion, the transparency condition and financial support regulations work together to enable the Office for Students to promote access and participation and student choice across all of higher education, and to support higher education teaching through financial support. Together, they are part of the vital foundations for the new regulatory framework, which will give the Office for Students the tools to deliver sector-wide reform and ensure that higher education delivers for every student. I move that these regulations are approved.
It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Christopher. May I give my profuse apologies to you and the Minister for being slightly late this morning; I was stuck for 40 minutes on a Network Rail train.
We welcome the Minister’s introducing the regulations for discussion today. We largely agree with him on the importance of widening participation and access to our higher education institutions and providers and the part that these transparency conditions can and should play. The devil is in the detail, however, and though there may be consensus on their importance, we disagree about some aspects of what should be included in these conditions, which are not included now. I will therefore try to persuade the Minister to strengthen them as much as possible. Before I do that, I must revisit what I said in 2016, when we discussed this clause and amendments that we tabled for the Minister’s predecessor. We said that the transparency duty was to be welcomed, but that there was a serious oversight in restricting the categories that higher education institutions had to publish information on participation. In particular, we said that there was no valid reason why data on students with disabilities, and the age profile of students, should not be included. We then tabled amendments to insert data on students with disabilities and care leavers and on students’ age profile.
It is absolutely essential that more work is done to reduce unequal access and success in higher education. Supporting people at all ages, not just at 18, is key. Overall social mobility is down, not up. The total number of English undergraduate entrants from low participation areas fell by 17% between 2011-12 and 2016-17. As a result, 12,600 fewer English undergraduate students from low participation areas started university courses each year than in 2011/12. So adding age and disability, as the Open University, Ruskin, the WEA, Birkbeck and a host of other adult education providers have said, is a way in which we can drive forward social mobility. Including age will encourage HEIs to promote the participation of older students as well as provide a further spotlight on the number of adults participating in HE.
Making it compulsory to publish data about the access, participation and attainment of disabled students will not only improve transparency but encourage HEIs to take greater responsibility to work towards eliminating the disabled student attainment gap. Is that not an important aspect of what the Government are trying to do by addressing the disability employment gap? They need not only to act on the recommendations on learning disability in the Maynard report, which was convened by my constituency neighbour, the hon. Member for Blackpool North and Cleveleys (Paul Maynard), who is also a member of the Government, but to look at the format and implications of the gap.
I know that the OfS has just closed its consultation window on access and participation plans, which included asking whether respondents agreed or disagreed that it should explore requiring providers to submit and publish transparency data by age and disability. To what extent does the Minister agree or disagree that the OfS should do that? His colleague, Viscount Younger, said from the Front Bench in the House of Lords that “a good case” had been made,
“for the inclusion of age as a characteristic and I am sympathetic to his aims. Although I cannot pre-empt the consultation, I am prepared to say from the Dispatch Box that we fully anticipate that age will be part of the information the OfS will ask institutions to publish.”—[Official Report, House of Lords, 4 April 2017; Vol. 782, c. 1001.]
What is the Minister’s reflection on that?
The third issue that we raised was that of care leavers, which has come up as a consistent theme across Government policy over the past few years. Ministers in the Department have been strong on supporting care leavers, and we think that it is important to add that category to the list, even though it is a relatively small and modest group. We also believe that, if the transparency duty is to have any impact, it needs to include as many different dimensions of participation as possible by social background. That view was echoed strongly by the Sutton Trust, which did not believe that the Bill and the regulations went far enough in that area. It said,
“evidence suggests many universities are favouring more privileged candidates even when levels of attainment are taken into account…The Bill should be amended to require universities to publish their contextual admission policies clearly on their websites”.
What recent discussions did the Minister have with the Sutton Trust and with the National Education Opportunities Network before the regulations before Parliament today were published on the need to strengthen them further?
The trade union for academics and other university workers, the University and College Union, has also said that mandatory reporting requirements should be extended to cover key workforce data that has the potential to impact on the quality of students’ education, such as the use of insecure contracts and student-staff ratios. Will the Minister consider including those in further regulations that might come before the House in relation to transparency and fair access? How often will the conditions be reviewed?
Having read through the explanatory memorandum, I have a few specific observations and questions for the Minister on the regulations we are discussing today. Paragraph 2.1 confirms that the OfS,
“must ensure that the ongoing registration conditions of each registered higher education provider...includes a transparency condition.”
Although we too think it is important that all approved institutions are required to have transparency commitments, could the Minister expand on the timeframe for those to be put in place? This is not only relevant to new institutions, but to all of our existing higher education institutions, and therefore the logistics are bound to be challenging. Can the Minister tell us within what timeframe all institutions should meet those expectations, and does he agree with the University and College Union and others that all providers should be required to produce an access and participation plan, not just a statement, as is currently the case for the approved category?
I do not wish to be unkind, but paragraphs 3.3 and 3.7 of the explanatory memorandum make me think that the Minister may have in the Department a budding Lewis Carroll. The opening sentence of paragraph 3.3 says:
“The Department notes that this instrument contains reference to a document that does not exist yet but is of the view that it is necessary to refer to it for the following reasons.”
That is not exactly the famous phrase from “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, “Sentence first—verdict afterwards”, but clearly there is an issue in relation to how that will be taken forward. Can the Minister update us on the progress on producing that regime?
Paragraph 3.7 states that
“an institution can only be registered on the OfS register…if it is, or intends to become, an English higher education provider.”
Paragraph 3.9 explains the place of education in the devolved legislation competence of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. That is true in terms of the specifics of the regulation, but the Minister will be aware that tens of thousands of students from Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales will be at English universities and therefore subject to the provisions. Can the Minister tell us what discussions have been had with his counterparts in the devolved Administrations on that?
Paragraphs 7.1 and 7.2 of the explanatory memorandum state that
“although as of 2017 there are record numbers of 18 year olds entering higher education and the entry rate for the most disadvantaged English 18 year olds (measured by POLAR) has increased to 20.4%, it is considered that there is still more work to be done to reduce unequal access and success in higher education…In this context, the Department is of the view that greater transparency is one of the best tools available to drive social mobility.”
Indeed it is, but it also essential that a broad range of measures on socioeconomic background are looked at. Commenting on today’s statutory instrument, the Sutton Trust said to me:
“It is important that the OfS don’t just consider POLAR, as socio-economic disadvantage is complex and multi-dimensional. We think that the OfS should use a number of different measures, including POLAR, MEM”—
I am awfully sorry, but I have not got my head around that particular acronym—
“and free-school meal eligibility, FSM, so that there isn’t an overreliance on one specific measure.”
I hope that the Minister and his officials will muse upon that.
As I say, financial support is essential for widening participation. With that in mind, and given the clear priority to drive social mobility, do the Government still intend, as was outlined in the 2015 spending review, to cut the widening participation funding of the Higher Education Funding Council for England, as it then was, by up to 50% by the end of the spending review period?
The OfS is set to review all its funding allocations next year after the post-18 review has reported. The Open University has said that the part-time student premium, as part of its widening participation funding, is essential to those higher education institutions that do the heavy lifting in relation to social mobility, so as to deliver on access and student support for widening participation students. Can the Minister confirm that the Government will protect that?
On the consultation outcome, the explanatory memorandum to the regulations says:
“Sufficient input from the sector was received during the above consultations to inform policy development.”
I understand that the consultation took place under a previous Government, and indeed a previous Department—the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills—but, in relation to these regulations and others that will come as a consequence of the 2017 Act, does the Minister consider that the Government have consulted widely enough with the people who use the system? I believe, as many in the sector do, that it is inadequate to consult simply the HEIs. There should also be some input from student organisations, qualification providers and employers.
On access and participation, we should all be concerned about not just the input but the output—how many disadvantaged students complete the course—and the outcome: the jobs and futures they move to. I appreciate that it is difficult for the Government to do any major longitudinal studies at this stage of proceedings, but I would like the Minister to give attention to that in relation to both these regulations and what will come out as a result.
Finally, I turn to the issues touched on in paragraph 12 of the explanatory memorandum on monitoring and review. We are told that the Department will ask the OfS
“to monitor the effectiveness of the condition in delivering the policy aims to widen participation in higher education and identify whether changes should be considered.”
Again, we agree. It is important to monitor the impact of conditions placed on providers, but the big question is what capacity the OfS will have to do that effectively. I say that deliberately, without straying from the narrow terms of the regulations, because at the Higher Education and Research Bill Committee we expressed concerns about the stand-alone nature of the new director for fair access and participation. The Minister will know that previously that director had his own establishment outwith the OfS, whereas now he is essentially in it. I am not commenting on whether he has enough people working for him; essentially he is not in charge of his department and it is up to the OfS to give him the tools to finish the job.
While we are talking about tools, Universities UK has raised concerns with me about the regulations. I do not know whether it made this request directly to the Minister or indirectly through his officials, but from the note I have had it is clear that it wants to see more information on the level of detail that institutions will have to submit for access reports and action plans. We know that the OfS has been given a risk-based approach to intervening on institutions, so can more information be provided on what the methodology for that will be? UUK also asks whether the Government will ensure that the OfS engages with the sector on defining the roles and the self-assessment tool, which will have to cope with a broad range of potential providers, including small and specialist institutions.
In connection with that, I have to say that the Government’s job, the Minister’s job and particularly the OfS’s job would have been greatly strengthened if the previous Government had not taken the inexplicable decision to get rid of the UK Commission for Employment and Skills, which was of major assistance in providing longitudinal and attitudinal advice. The Government now find themselves having to commission bespoke assessments, which we and many people in the sector believe are an inadequate way of examining the issues. I accept that we are where we are, but that point lends weight to the concerns of UUK and individual HE providers.
With those observations, I will draw my remarks to a conclusion. I repeat that we strongly support the principle of the draft regulations and their direction of travel, but that as they are implemented—I accept that registration is a rolling process—we would like to hear more from the Minister and the Department to satisfy our concerns.
I thank the Opposition spokesperson for his comments. We have had several debates since I was appointed to this job; he always has a fistful of pertinent questions for the Government, and I welcome his contributions to our debate on the draft regulations. Before I make my concluding remarks, let me address some of his questions, in no particular order.
The hon. Gentleman asked about the rates of progression by area. The proportion of 18-year-olds entering higher education from disadvantaged backgrounds is at record levels. We use 18-year-old full-time rates in our calculations because they are the most up-to-date information that we have; we acknowledge that there has been a decline in part-time entrants, but it has been no more pronounced for disadvantaged entrants than for advantaged entrants.
On the subject of part-time students, it is worth mentioning one of the general duties set out in HERA:
“In performing its functions, the OfS must have regard to…the need to promote…greater choice…in the provision of higher education”.
That includes choice over means of provision, including via part-time study or distance learning. The OfS also targets an element of its teaching grant at part-time study, recognising its additional cost; £72 million was made available for that purpose in 2017-18, and the same amount was allocated in 2018-19.
Quite rightly, the hon. Gentleman brought up the subject of care leavers. Our guidance to the OfS asks it to monitor care leavers as a key target group, which it has done. We expect to see providers focusing on that in their access and participation plans. Whether to add age and disability is a decision for the OfS, but I am pleased that it has included that in its consultation, as we asked.
The point about outcomes for students is important. The transparency duty covers not only offers made, but the number of disadvantaged students who complete their courses and attain a particular degree.
Finally, on staff data, HE providers are autonomous, as the hon. Gentleman is aware. Data on HE staff is published by the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
I know that hon. Members have a keen and understandable interest in the implementation of HERA. There is no doubt that today’s scrutiny has played a vital role in ensuring that the reform promised by that Act is achieved. I commend the regulations to the Committee.

The story I'm about to share isn't uncommon.
In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein allegations, one thing has become pretty apparent: every woman I know has their own version of this tale — give or take the situation or type of sexual harassment. Grandmas, mothers, daughters, sisters: no woman is immune.
Most of us have more than one of these stories: a nice arse comment on the way to work followed by a slap on said 'nice arse', waking up on a long-haul flight to find an old man's hand on your breast, or a guy deciding a packed Monday morning commuter train is the perfect time to get himself off by rubbing himself against your back.
These are the ones I can remember as I type. But one incident stands out the most for me...
I was 22 when it happened.

My then-boyfriend was sitting right next to me. We'd been to Paris for the weekend visiting his family, and were heading home to our London flat on the tube. A journey we both made every day.
Two seats became free across from a guy on his own. He looked pretty nondescript, just your average mid-twenties English bloke with a phone in his hand.
We hauled our bags to the seats, chatting about our weekend and the things we needed to pick up from the supermarket.
Then I looked down.
It took me a second to register what was going on.
The guy across from us was no longer playing games on his phone. The camera was tilted toward me, filming straight up my skirt.
I froze as my boyfriend kept talking, not sure what to do next.
The guy looked straight at me and smirked. He knew I knew. But he didn't stop.
Finally I managed to spit out these three words: "He's recording me".
My boyfriend immediately got up and screamed at guy: "What the f--- are you doing?"
With that the train doors opened at a station and he jumped off, a still of my underwear on his phone screen.
I can't really remember what happened next apart from my boyfriend insisting I called the British Transport Police when I got home.
I've often thought about that day since.
What I should have said, how I should have run after him, the shock and shame I felt as a young woman going about her daily life in a city I loved.
As a journalist I've often thought about writing about it, too. But the time has never felt right. Until now. #metoo

.FR Domain Registration
The Dot FR country-specific top-level domain name extension is the most widely used one among speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be an ideal choice to reach tens of millions of web users, due to the fact that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a perfect chance for you to contact them them.
The top-level domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and corporations based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. In the present day, a .FR domain can be booked by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 active domains, the .FR extension is one of the most widely used country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.
If you want to buy a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live more or less immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has specific terms about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain have to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting companies, particularly resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
.FR Domain Name Management with Host-4Less
Our full-featured, yet easy-to-use Domain Manager is used by both webmasters and hosting rookies. It offers everything that you need so that you can take care of various domains at once from the exact same place. Your domain names' DNS and WHOIS settings are fully under your control.
The Domain Manager is, in fact, an important part of our Web Hosting Control Panel. What this means is that you'll be able to control not only your domain names, but, in addition your sites, without the need of actually leaving the Control Panel, on the single condition that you have a hosting account with us. | <urn:uuid:accf7447-8398-4229-9d1e-a394160b6152> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://host-4less.com/buy-a-domain/.fr-domain-name-registration/ | 2020-09-26T12:39:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.935895 | 625 |

This episode by Reply All is well worth your time: #166 Country of Liars. It tries to unravel the secret of Q’s identity. As I’m seeing more and more thinned versions of Q’s ideas pop up in Dutch culture, I’m trying to understand this phenomenon a bit better. After listening to this episode, I’m even more appalled how these ideas find fertile soil in Europe as well.
A very interesting thing happened in NL this week. Several people with a lot of followers, mostly in the younger adult age group, started posting stuff under a Dutch hashtag which roughly translates to ‘I’m out’. They expressed their discontent with government rules to keep covid-19 at bay. They seemed to want to say, I don’t believe it anymore. I’m done with keeping my distance. Sure, the number of infections are rising, but numbers in hospitals are still low. I’m young. Covid-19 is not life threatening for me. I’m done with all the rules.
The story goes that these people were first brought together in a chat group (using whatsapp) by someone who is the founder of a small but vocal group of anti-government rules. He gathered people in his chat group that have a serious amount of followers and started to convince them of his arguments against government covid-19 rules. These influencers clearly were influenced and in an orchestrated manner started influencing their followers by posting messages of doubt.
After publishing a storm of critique followed. From average Jane to the Minister, people warned them of their influence on their audience. Right at a time when the number of infectious people is rising rapidly and hospitalizations doubling every week, these messages of doubt are not helpful to prevent further restrictions in the (very) near future. Several of the influencers doubled down and retracted their message from whatever social platform they’re active on. Ironically, they started to downplay their role as influencers. I hope their clients heard this message. They’re worth less than advertisers think.
Het moment dat Dochter keihard moet lachen om afleveringen van Buurman en Buurman.
I watched this short documentary on how two parents raise their child gender neutral. By the end of the film, their child celebrates their first birthday. I didn’t go as far as using a different pronoun for Daughter, but I avoided buying her gender stereotyped clothes and toys. I was able to maintain that until she was between two and three years old. It’s when she started noticing differences between boys and girls in daycare. She now prefers to wear dresses and pink is her favourite colour. It’s fine. It’s her choice. The Man and I keep stimulating her in all sorts of ways and sometimes we have to remind her there is no such thing as boys and girls play. Some boys play wild, but her best (girl)friend does so too. Some boys like to play with dolls, she does not. Peers and teachers are a strong force to deal with as parents. The parents in this documentary will discover that soon enough. And that is fine too.
Daughter’s teachers had two ‘studiedagen’, days during which the teachers work, but not teach. Don’t ask me what they do during those days. School’s all still a mystery to me. Two school free days gave us the opportunity to plan a long weekend just the three of us. This summer we had plenty of fun trips, but it involved other family members. Lots of interaction, little quiet time. Therefore I loved they idea of spending a few days with just us three. A friend of ours owns a holiday home just outside Maastricht, on the Belgian side of the border and we rented that for three nights. As the weather was terrific (around 24ºC in the afternoon) we went hiking.
Last week I bought Daughter proper hiking shoes and she walked almost all of it by herself (except for a tiny speck when her parents kept pushing her to keep on walking, but she burst into tears. In hindsight she had a fever, as she came down with a cold). On our Valkenburg hike my watch clocked about 10KM. I applaud Daughter’s stamina.
The south of Limburg is a fantastic area for hiking. Hills, specks of forest mixed with fields, castles and old well kept farms. It is completely the opposite of the area I live in (or grew up in). If work would allow it, this is an area I’d gladly move to. | <urn:uuid:85964eae-cb17-48b6-ba69-34b9233c3ab7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://infullflow.net/author/admin/ | 2020-09-26T13:20:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.976929 | 971 |

Mtel Becomes A1, It Will Offer Innovative Services to Our MarketBusiness | May 22, 2018, Tuesday // 18:21| views
Georgi Dimitrov / Vesti.bg
Mtel announced today a change of its name, which was expected from several months - Mtel becomes A1.
A1 is the name of the group that belongs to the telecom - A1 Group, which operates in 7 countries in Europe and is part of America's fourth-largest telecom company America Movil.
Do not be surprised if A1 has already appeared on your phone. If you still see Mtel - expect the change soon. Some of the company's offices have already been re-branded. The company plans to replace the Mtel logo everywhere within a few weeks with the A1.
The Executive Director of "A1 Bulgaria", (the new name of the company), Alexander Dimitrov announced new innovative services, some of which will be available for the first time on our market.
Digital Portfolio is a new payment service. Customers will now be able to make money transfers via their phones as well as online payments and POS terminals.
A1 will provide for the first time in our country a credit card with its brand which will be easily accessible to customers on a subscription plan, as they already have a credit file as telecom's customers.
The company will also launch its own line of smartphones with the A1 brand. They will be warranted for 36 months instead of the standard warranty of 24 months.
Alexander Dimitrov explained that the new smartphone line is in line with consumer demand. They will be able to choose a cheap smartphone, but a high-end camera or a cheap phone, but with a metal and glass design as high-end smartphones.
A music streaming platform, similar to Spotify, is the other new service that prepares A1. It will offer a rich content of over 30 million songs - from classical to modern music, with rich and varied Bulgarian music.
There will be no changes for the operator's customers - their contracts remain and will remain valid until their expiration. It will not change in terms of phone numbers and SIM cards in the telecom network.
We need your support so Novinite.com can keep delivering news and information about Bulgaria!

Where to catch Arapaima in Bolivia
If you’re interested in fishing in Bolivia for arapaima check out our tour in 2019. Here’s a quick snippet!
The portion of the Amazon rainforest which lies within the borders of Bolivia is the home of the arapaima, living in the fast flowing sections of rivers and schooling in the lagoons formed by these rivers.
Although the arapaima is a native species to the Amazon river basin, it is a new species within the borders of Bolivia and was brought here by flooding in neighbouring Peru in the 1980s.
With the lack of competition for the apex predator it has been very successful in colonising the waters and Arapaima can be found almost everywhere across Bolivia, from the smallest back waters to tiny ponds.
The best time to catch this mighty beast is between May and October, when the dry season is in full force because this will force the arapaima into more favourable grounds where they are easier to find and grouped up into schools of differing sizes.
You’ll be fishing from a canoe or small cut out boat, the same ones used by the locals, fishing for Arapaima in Bolivia is a truly all-encompassing experience.
Often you are not required to cast long distances so an ability to cast a big fly or lure will be beneficial although the terrain and conditions are not for the faint hearted, you are in the middle of a jungle after all.
The majority of the fish we caught were almost under the boat using locally caught dead baits.
Since the arapaima is an air breathing fish you can usually find them or know they’re in the area, meaning you can really pin point locations where you might catch one.
The air breathing nature of the arapaima will give you just a second or two to decipher which direction they are travelling and how quickly, allowing you to cast you fly, lure or bait appropriately.
Using a circle hook, you need to allow a little time for the arapaima to take the hook and have it set, meaning no need to strike like a madman, you will just need to tighten up leaving the rest to the power, size and speed of the fish.
Once the arapaima realises something isn’t right, all hell will break loose and the fights you get from these fish (as well as anything in the Amazon) are truly mental.
The fish will leap clear of the water thrashing its huge head from side to side in a bid to throw the hook, before it takes off on a series of runs. This is when you begin to follow the fish before making for a nearby beach to help you land this magnificent predator.
Arapaima are never brought up the bank and out of the water.
They are just too delicate.
There is usually just about enough time to stand in the water, approaching from the rear of the fish since they are known to headbutt their captors, and support the weight of the fish while you have your trophy photograph and then carefully nurse the arapaima back into its natural habitat.
Bolivia has a fantastic variety of fish so don’t just pack to catch arapaimas, there are a variety of bottom feeding catfish and a stack of smaller fish too.
Expect to fish for smaller varieties as a means of baiting the arapaima of your dreams since these are their usual prey.
Where to catch arapaima in Brazil - Trip of a lifetime!
Brazil – Incredible Arapaima Fishing
Brazil is a vast South American country which stretches from the Amazon basin in the north to the vineyards and huge Iguaçu Falls in the south.
The hunt for arapaima though will start in the Amazon basin with more than a million hectares of tributaries and lakes as well as the Amazon River itself to search for this ultimate jungle trophy fish.
Fishing will generally take place on well equipped flat boats complete with outboard motors, electric trolling motors and push poling platforms.
Because the region is dominated by narrow lakes, with interconnecting channels where the arapaima will congregate in periods of low water, these vessels are ideal for hunting your quarry.
The fishing will usually be done exclusively from the boats due to high concentrations of large caimans.
The arapaima is however an air breathing fish so can cope with a few minutes out of the water for photographs, after which the fish can be released unharmed back into its natural habitat.
Arapaima are a lethargic fish with their way of life designed to save energy in oxygen poor waters.
They have primitive lungs which enable them to breathe air from the surface and the frequency of their breathing cycles depends largely on their swimming and feeding activity. Often the only sign that there is arapaima present will be their sucking sounds while they gasp for air.
The arapaima feeds by waiting for its prey to swim by them and gulping down gallons of water in a split second and sucking in their prey. This means that they can do this with your lure or fly and it is important to ensure the fish is hooked in the mouth.
Also meaning when you are retrieving your lure it is good to take it slowly, slowing down the lure or fly and ensuring it is in the taking zone for longer.
In our experience free-lined dead baits near features work best.
The lakes you will fish for arapaima differ greatly from 1m to 20m of water so a variety of lines could be appropriate, so if you’re fly fishing anything from slow intermediate lines to heavy sinkers could be appropriate and finding the right approach at the right time can be a frustrating ordeal. Patience is key when fishing for arapaima.
It is important to trust your guides instinct with where the fish will be since they have a lot of time in the water you are fishing and know how to track their movements throughout the dry season.
Where to catch arapaima in Thailand
The arapaima is not a native fish for Thailand and has been transplanted there in order to provide game fishing opportunities for keen fishermen who are unable to catch these fish elsewhere in the world. It is an awe inspiring fish and has become endangered due to overfishing and destruction of its habitats in South America.
The arapaima has the chance to reach up to 3 or 4m in length and can reach weights of well over 200 kgs. This, along with the large armoured scales which interlock along its body add to its fearsome and predatory appearance.
With a huge variety of lakes offering up the opportunity to fish for arapaima, with many being only an hour or two drive from the airport in Bangkok, your choices are huge.
Where you can catch arapaima in Thailand
Top-of-class venues like Gilhams and Jurassic are the main-stay of anglers targeting Arapaima in Thailand but for the best experience you should be looking at moving around a few venues.
If you haven’t been to Thailand before, you’d be shocked at how easy and cheap it is to really live like a king on a budget while targeting arapaima across several lakes.
In our experience, the best tactics are the simple ones, free-lined dead baits near features or showing fish produce the most bites.

Where to catch arapaima gigas in Peru
Peru is home to a section of the Amazon rainforest and Machu Picchu, the ancient Incan city high up in the Andes mountains.
It is also home to some of the biggest arapaima on the planet.
Unlike in Guyana where fishing for arapaima is illegal due to their low numbers, the fish are in peru in abundance and can be fished for legally.
With local guides who are experienced fishermen in the amazon basin, and the right equipment, you can catch yourself one of these giant fish with a little help from lady luck. With wide running river systems and lagoons, ideal territory for the arapaima, you can fish freely during the dryer months, from September until early January.
You can expect to spend your free time when you are not fishing in a jungle camp surrounded by the wildlife of the amazon. Also, whilst fishing the guides have noted as many as 15 or 20 arapaima catches in a week. With average sizes of between 40 and 80lb, it is the region where the current world record catch was made at a whopping 339lb so expect at least one huge fish whilst you are there.
That said, real records are well over the 400lb mark, it’s obviously hard to claim a record with no civilisation for hours around.
In addition to the arapaima you can expect to find peacock bass, stingrays, piranhas and ayumaras in these waters.
If you’re looking for the ultimate in fishing, catching an arapaima on the fly then Peru is for you and it is best to carry tackle for any situation where the arapaima could be sought.
Firstly a 7weight rod and reel spooled with floating line and a floating cricket fly, secondly a 10weight rod and reel spooled with intermediate line with a 3” long a streamer and finally a 12 weight rod and reel with a 500 gr sinking line and an even bigger 4” long streamer as the largest option.
Where to catch arapaima in Colombia
Colombia is a country at the northern tip of South America and its landscape is marked by rainforests, the Andes mountains and numerous coffee plantations.
The region of Tres Fronteras, the point where Colombia, Peru and Brazil meet, or Leticia is the main focus of the fishing industry in Colombia and has an active presence of the FARC ( Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia/The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia).
Arapaima is well known in Colombian waters as a delicacy, and the apex predator is bringing the sport fishermen here to explore new territory to capture the fish of a lifetime.
The fish is a rare sighting due to overfishing and the fact that the waters are not policed for poaching, but it is hoped that there will be sport fishing for the arapaima established here soon.
Where to catch arapaima in Guyana
Guyana is a country in the Northeast of the continent of South America, bordering Venezuela, Suriname and Brazil.
The Essequibo River is found in the heart of the country and forms part of the Amazon basin, but flows north to its estuary in the Atlantic Ocean. It is perhaps the most unfrequented river of its type in the Amazon and is home to a myriad of fish species, including the arapaima.
The arapaima’s population in Guyana is extremely healthy, mainly due to the fact that the arapaima represents an “Oma” to the Macushi tribe who inhabit the region.
Meaning that they are seen as a demon or evil spirit and it is believed if you are to consume arapaima you are likely to become very sick. It is also referred to as the mother of all fish due to its enormous size.
A trip to this region is not for everyone, but it is an ideal combination for anglers who like to include adventure travel, technical fishing and the opportunity to catch the largest freshwater fish in existence.
The arapaima is an apex predator in waters which include piranha, payara, crocodiles and numerous other dangerous species of fish and animals which inhabit the waters.
It takes stealth, accuracy and patience combined with an ounce of skill to land these huge fish, but when you have a tight line and a huge arapaima bursts from the surface of the water shaking its head you will understand the thrill of hunting these large predators in their natural environment.
You can often find yourself trekking through the jungle for anything from 5 to 30 minutes to access the dugout boats which have been transferred by the local tribespeople to the waters for the days fishing.
These isolated jungle ponds and lagoons are often home to some of the largest fish in the region. | <urn:uuid:59a97a8c-5b7b-4805-b2f0-31ebdc0ff546> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://mygilly.com/where-to-catch-arapaima/ | 2020-09-26T10:29:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.953376 | 2,595 |

“Owning my own salon in Southwest Florida has been an incredible experience” states Erin. “Now the professional color I create in my salon can be yours in your own home. I’m so excited to see women become empowered, while saving precious time and money.”
Your color quiz questionnaire is processed by a Professional Colorist, and your answers to the carefully chosen questions, allow them to “formulate” the perfect color based on the many factors that are provided. The result is lasting! The color will last longer than store bought brands, will shine with brilliance and will show dazzling consistency throughout your hair.
We offer 2 color lines, the My Natural Color line and the My Low Ammonia Color line. We believe in choices for women. We want you to be able to have options for your hair color. You may want to try both color lines to see which one is the perfect fit for you, your ideals, and your hair. Read more about our My Natural Color and My Low Ammonia Color and the choices they offer you.
I’m so excited for you to get started with your salon at-home luxurious color. We are confident you will flat out LOVE your new hair color. It will change your life, being able to color your hair in the convenience of your own home. This is my way of putting time in a bottle for you. From my heart to yours…

We’re truly in a golden age of television – and the very best of it is being brought to us by women. The unapologetically wild and poignantly honest series follows Suzie Pickles Piper , a star with her celebrity status edging towards its expiry date, who is now mostly remembered for role in a sci-fi cult classic. Having landed a new part, her life comes crashing down after explicit photos are leaked on the internet. While the drama could have taken a preachy and pious approach, I Hate Suzie takes pains to present Pickles as a fallible and at times unlikeable figure – with human, recognisable flaws that us as viewers can all relate to in spite of Pickles’ supposedly starry celebrity status.
From her explosive diarrhoea at the news of the photo leak, to her spontaneous singing about how much she hates the village she lives in and a 3am coke binge in a Birmingham hotel room, Pickles is far from polished and perfect. Every human is flawed and we really lean into the weirdness. This is showing you the ugly side, where your most personal, private self is intruded upon, and the vulnerability it makes you feel and the ramification of that behaviour.
I really try to get to grips with that toxic male attitude at trying to be a dominant force and the need to be a provider and the need to exert control, so I let that rage flag fly.

The dilemma I have been dating my boyfriend for three months. He is intelligent and thoughtful, sensitive and funny. We are in our 30s and have the same long-term goals — to travel, see where life takes us and not add children to a relationship. Some things actively turn me off, for example chewing food loudly with his mouth open and getting food all over his face, or the way he dresses.
Then I feel guilty as he would not judge me in the same way. I have dated some very attractive men in the past and valued physical attractiveness probably too highly. Most of these boyfriends were narcissistic and made me feel insecure about my own attractiveness, something I am usually confident about. I am agonising about throwing away a relationship with a man who really adores me.

Whoever said actions speak louder than words clearly didn’t foresee the invention of the ecard. Especially when it comes to dating, love and marriage, ecards can come in handy to help us to express our true feelings, however honest they are. These cards run the relationship gamut, from what it’s like to date the good, the bad and the bumping uglies to the solid courtship phase where you’re comfortable enough to fart but you still get raging boners for each other all the way through the mutual acceptance of mediocrity that is marriage.

14 Opening Lines To Try Next Time You’re On Hinge
Czech women usually evoke a va-va-voom response in Western males, who glorify their ethereal beauty and perceived submissiveness. Traditional, unspoiled by feminism, and always striving to look her best, the stereotypical view of the Czech woman is problematic — though admittedly affects how women from the West relate to their Eastern counterparts. Not modern enough in their approach to career, motherhood, the domestic sphere? Marianne A. Many would attribute the leggy Slavic goddess to good genes, lack of processed food, and the communist preoccupation with fitness.

The 82nd Annual Academy Awards aired Sunday Night, March 7th, 2010. Below were my predictions for the winners in the major categories. The actual winners were filled in after the Oscars are announced.
Well, I scored a personal worst of only 11/24 this year (after a record shattering personal best score of 18/24 last year), but I’ve never been happier to have been so wrong. The right film actually won for the first time since, well, I don’t know when!
Highlights of the evening included:
- A few genuine surprises in the screenplay categories and for foreign language film.
- Hosts (Baldwin and Martin) who were actually funny.
- No musical numbers spare for the humorous opening! (Though there was an annoying dance number for the best score nominees)
- The humility, humor, and quiet heartbreak of Sandra Bullock who knew she did not deserve to win but was so sincerely thankful.
- The humility of Kathryn Bigelow who knew she deserved to win (and made history in doing so) but also knew there are more important things and more important people to honor than films and filmmakers. | <urn:uuid:d735d55d-dae0-4222-bb8e-2958cfeb32a3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://theschleicherspin.com/tag/steve-martin/ | 2020-09-26T11:55:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.973121 | 241 |

Brianna Carbaugh is a graphic designer and photographer from North River, Washington. Her style is clean and simple with a natural aesthetic and attention to detail. Her work explores themes of nature through print media, collage, and photography. In college, Carbaugh received the 2017 Outstanding Art Student Award and two Talent Award Scholarships in 2018-2019. She has an A.A. degree from Grays Harbor College and will earn a B.A. degree in graphic design from Whitworth University in 2020.
Most of my photographs are unedited because I value the authenticity of the originals. This challenges me to take high quality images of each subject as I see them. While I shoot a wide range of subjects and types, I am most interested in close-ups. Macro photography helps me stop and appreciate the tiny details that often go unnoticed in the bustle of life. Hardy Geranium, Hellebore and Trillium are just a few examples.
These photos are complementary in style, each one featuring a different flower. All three were taken using a built-in black and white filter and have not been digitally edited. Hardy Geranium is an exploration of the high contrast between light and shadow in a short depth of field. The lack of color combined with this light variation gives the photo a dramatic appearance that enhances the details in the flower’s petals and center. A similar approach was used with the other two photos; however, the contrast is lower because both flowers are softly lit. This allows the speckled petals in Hellebore to be in sharp focus, giving the image a fine, textural quality. In Trillium, emphasis lies at the flower’s center while a side perspective intensifies its unique star shape.
In my work, I strive for clear and visually engaging designs that are both easily understandable and attractive. BothU.S. National Parks and Parrish & Grove Botanicals show how color plays an important role in the delivery of information on print media.
Through flat graphics, map outlines and typography, the U.S. National Parks infographic relies on images for visually communicating eight park facts using very few words. These images utilize the U.S. National Park Service’s official colors – green, white, gray and orange – which are enhanced by the teal background.
To practice designing under a brand identity, I was tasked with advertising a service for an existing business. The cover of the Parrish & Grove Botanicals trifold brochure features a di-cut of one of their bouquets. I added pink to balance the brightly colored flowers and to accent their branded color palette of dark green, black and white. I also included one of my own photos for the background to provide texture and a cohesive aesthetic.
My logo designs showcase my preferred style of using simple, clean graphics to fulfill the client’s objectives for brand identity.
Commissioned for the fish lab at Grays Harbor College in Aberdeen, Washington, the GHC Fish Lab logo was my first freelance project. The goal was to update and simplify the existing logo, while clearly highlighting the combination of fish and science. The salmon, fishing line and DNA strand were elements I incorporated from the original logo. In addition, the concentric circles, typefaces and varying letter sizes mimic Grays Harbor College’s official emblem.
The Oleum logo was designed for a fictional company that specializes in an organic line of cleaning products. The drooping leaf incorporated into the “O” and flowing script font represent the natural ingredients used in the products. This is emphasized further with the mint blue color – a symbol of freshness – that drives home the company’s values. The accompanying style guide allows the client to use this logo and exact color palette to keep the brand identity uniform.
One of the things that first drew me to graphic design was the visual interplay between images and text. The following examples display two different approaches – handmade and digital – to this image-text relationship.
Spread Your Wings is a handmade collage that conveys its message through medium, color, text and imagery. I layered elements found in magazines over a stylized, hand-drawn background. The finished product uniquely allows me to combine my love of quotes, photography, graphic design and fine art. While most of my work is created digitally, I find the process of making things by hand therapeutic. For this reason, I plan to incorporate collage into my future designs whenever possible.
Inspired by the Seattle Children’s Theater world premiere production of Black Beauty, this poster was created to advertise the play in a fictional setting. The story of Black Beauty is a tale of animal cruelty and hardship told from a horse’s perspective. This juxtaposition is depicted in the horse head image because it combines both real and fictional elements, much like the story itself.

Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age is a Left 4 Dead style four-player co-op survival horror action game where you are both the hunter and the hunted as you take on hordes of monsters and bloodthirsty bosses.
It comes from Crytek (developers of Crysis and Warface), so it’s bound to be a good looking game. It also features a special content generation system, which means that the map and enemies you encounter should be different each time you play a level.
As with Left 4 Dead, teamwork is vital, you’ll have to work strategically as a team to stay alive – especially when you track down the bosses with the brains and brawn to send you and your friends to an early grave. Hunt together or die alone, it’s up to you.

Sample Creativity and Innovation Phrases for Performance Appraisal
Oct 08, 2014
BY: PAUL FALCONE
This is the fourth in a series of five AMA Playbook blogs that will help you with your performance management by redefining your company’s expectations of its employees as outlined in your annual performance review template. Modeled after Paul Falcone and Winston Tan’s The Performance Appraisal Tool Kit: Redesigning Your Performance Review Template to Drive Individual and Organizational Change (AMACOM 2013), the definitions below will help you redefine your organization’s expectations of its employees by raising the proverbial performance bar and setting everyone’s sites on a higher level of performance delivery.
Creativity and innovation are critical skill sets that help companies stand apart from the pack—especially in terms of global competition. After all, while many U.S. manufacturing and white-collar customer service jobs have been “off-shored” over the past few decades, the United States remains home to the greatest innovation companies in the world. So broaden your employees’ understanding of what it means to reinvent their work in light of your organization’s changing needs. You don’t need to work in Silicon Valley or Hollywood to be creative or innovative. It simply takes a healthy dose of curiosity and a corresponding willingness to adjust your way of doing things to achieve greater efficiencies, customer accolades, and revenue-generating opportunities.
Raising the bar in terms of performance expectations isn’t as hard as most employers think. It’s simply a matter of defining what that particular core competency should look like in your company from this point forward. There’s no better place to start than with your company’s performance review template. Let’s look at a before-and-after snapshot of how to best describe your organizational expectations in terms of worker creativity and innovation.
- Core, Traditional Descriptors
Sample performance appraisal language seen in various industries define “Creativity” or “Innovation” along the lines of the following:
Generates original ideas and follows through to completion. Adds value by looking at existing systems and processes and volunteers recommendations that increase efficiency or save time. Suggests useful and valuable ideas that focus on novel and practical ways of re-approaching a process or system to enhance efficiencies or create value.
While this definition per se is fairly acceptable as written, it lacks the emotion or energy that you might otherwise expect in defining something as critical as creativity and innovation. Instead, try combining some of the following language elements to describe your company’s intentions more concretely . . .
- Enhanced Descriptors Reflecting an Organization’s Heightened Expectations
Regularly looks for opportunities to turn ideas in action, inject creativity into every touch point, and develop strategies for innovation. Focuses on identifying new parallels, patterns, variations, and analogies to generate fresh ideas. Thinks outside the proverbial box and volunteers well thought out recommendations based on sound logic and principles. Communicates openly, makes others feel welcome and safe to volunteer new ideas, and positively engages talent within the organization and across the value chain. Rethinks the routine with a fresh perspective and employs right-brain imagination with left-brain logic and planning.
Looks for new ways of reinventing the workflow in light of our department’s changing needs. Simplifies processes, learns what works, and finds creative ways of implementing new technologies, systems, and processes. Searches regularly for new methods, techniques, and tools that increase efficiency and reduce costs. Encourages open discussion and collaboration with others to rethink routine processes and generate creative alternatives. Considers innovation in the workplace an ongoing responsibility and welcomes change as an integral part of both individual and company growth.
You can also stretch the core value of innovation by setting standards and expectations that reinforce their importance on an enterprise-wide basis:
Views all employees as leaders, innovators, and change agents. Recognizes that innovation is the number one leadership competency of the future that will help our company differentiate itself from the competition. Regularly gains new perspectives from peers and team members and likewise provides constructive input relative to others’ ideas and suggestions. Fosters a spirit of creative collaboration and questions common practices in an effort to reinvent the routine. Encourages others to be inventive and take appropriate risks. Values creativity, productivity, and efficiency as the keys to career development.
Now that’s a creative way of describing creativity! It’s not too late to add an element of passion to your performance review template. It’s simply a matter of defining the touch points that capture the spirit of this oh-so-important core competency.
Keep an eye out for the following AMA Playbook blog posts coming your way soon that highlight how to set the performance bar higher for these key performance review competencies: Leadership, Teamwork, and Communication. Along with Customer Service, these “Big 5” will round out your performance review template nicely. And of course for other core competency descriptors, look no farther than The Performance Appraisal Tool Kit or Paul Falcone’s bestselling 2600 Phrases for Effective Performance Reviews (AMACOM 2005).

By Brady Mc Combs at Arizona Daily Star
Two facebook pages have been launched this week to express opposition to the state’s sweeping immigration enforcement law. One is selling t-shirts at $15 a pop that say, “Do I look illegal” and the other is page called, “I may live in Arizona, but I’m not insane.”
“Do I look illegal?”
The “Cuéntame” group on facebook says:
“In response to the heinous bill signed into law by AZ Gov. Jan Brewer, we decided to send the Arizona government a message: RACIAL PROFILING IS WRONG AND RACIST!
Your donation of $15 get you this limited edition Cuéntame T-shirt and will also ALLOW Cuéntame to produce a SERIES OF VIDEOS AND ACTIONS exposing the AZ government in their attempt to institutionalize a Latino persecution.”
Here is what their press release said:
“It is racial persecution. It is institutionalized discrimination. It is a direct and blatant attack on the Latino community. The bill signed into law this week by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is a major setback in the fight for equality and civil rights.
Your appearance, your clothes, your language, your location, your activities or anything that may trigger suspicion is now grounds for detention. So in response to this heinous bill, we decided to send the Arizona governor and the state legislature a challenge: Answer this question – Do I Look “Illegal”?
Latino or not, let us stand together and fight back against these forces of racism. We have produced T-shirts to tell the Arizona government that we will not stand idle as they trump the basic civil rights of any minority.
Your contribution of $15 will not only get you one of the T-Shirts but will also allow Brave New Foundation’s Cuéntame to produce a series of videos and actions that will expose the Arizona government for their attempt to institutionalize a Latino persecution.
GET THE T-SHIRT TODAY!
We have also launched a pledge to boycott the state of Arizona until this law is stricken down. Sign the petition today and tell Arizona that you boycott intolerance and persecution.
We are fed up and are ready to fight back! Are you with us?”
“I may live in Arizona, but I’m not insane.”
Here’s the description: “Horrified by daily stories of our Administration proposing or passing some ridiculous law? Join IMLIABINI for news, updates, and to show people that, we the sane, don’t support the madhouse antics of Brewer, Arpaio, et al.” | <urn:uuid:f2c81ead-7b66-49e5-9da8-6f75777adef8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.bnfactionfund.org/border_bolet_n_do_i_look_illegal | 2020-09-26T11:38:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.923669 | 574 |
Retail sale of automobiles crashed by nearly 13 per cent, the steepest in a month in this calendar year so far, snuffing out any hopes of a long anticipated recovery in the domestic automobile industry.
Unlike wholesale figures released every month by Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) that showed a steep reduction in dispatches from companies to their dealerships in the first six months of this fiscal, retail sales reported by Federation of Automobile Dealers Association (FADA) had declined by a much somber single digit for much of this year raising hopes that the industry might turn the corner in the near future.
September is traditionally not the best month for vehicle sales due to the 15-day inauspicious shradh period when customers typically shy away from making big ticket purchases. The double-digit decline on a year-on-year basis however indicates the low consumer sentiment is yet to subside. Sales were also impacted by the uncertainty over a possible GST cut in vehicles that would have brought prices down and led to consumers postponing their purchases for much of the month. The cut never happened eventually.
Sale of passenger vehicles declined by 20 per cent during the month, the steepest rate of decline since November 2018. Two-wheelers also registered a 12 per cent dip, steepest again since November while commercial vehicles were down 18.5 per cent. FADA also said after relentless inventory correction in the last six months, there was a marginal rise in September for passenger vehicles in anticipation of a good festive season this month. Inventory levels in two wheelers, which had already hit record levels, however saw no significant correction last month, a worrying sign for the future. FADA said till date the demand in the festive season that started with Onam followed by Ganesh Chaturthi, Vishwakarma Puja and the start of Navratri has been lacklustre.
"The industry retails were under pressure during the month and the de-growth was on expected lines. The continued heavy monsoons in major geographies and the shraddh period also contributed to this sales lag. The complete effects of the positive measures announced by the government are still not visible at the retail levels in the month of September," said Ashish Hansraj Kale, President, FADA. "We believed September to be a transition month into positivity with continued monsoon and measure after measures being announced by the Government. October will be a crucial month which will indicate the trends for the second half of the fiscal and measure the effects of an abundant monsoon and the various government measures."
The rising levels of inventory could again pose a problem, like last year, if the expected growth does not materialise during the Diwali fortnight. FADA said while commercial vehicles showed slight reduction in inventory, passenger vehicles, which was earlier nearing FADA recommended range of 21 days, changed directions in anticipation of higher festival sales. Two-wheeler inventory, despite factoring in the oncoming festive season demand continues to be very high and is a very big cause of concern.
"We advise our members and also urge all OEM's to be judicious in their assessment of the retail conditions and accordingly regulate their wholesale billing as the demand situation continues to be dynamic," Kale added. "If retail growth is projected beyond realistic situation, it can once again lead to a high inventory situation in this tricky phase of BS-VI transition which is just five months away." | <urn:uuid:95fa507d-a508-4f15-9608-7f4e3dc6da09> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.businesstoday.in/sectors/auto/automobile-retail-sales-passenger-vehicle-sales-fall-20-percent-in-september-fada/story/385445.html | 2020-09-26T12:55:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.969997 | 706 |
Attending a funeral and behaving appropriately during a time of loss are important parts of being a good friend. If you’re ever in doubt about the best way to show your support, feel free to contact the knowledgeable Cavanagh staff.
Tips to get you started:
- At the funeral or visitation, be sure to sign the register book. Also, greet the family members at either your arrival or departure. Offer a hug or shake of hands, depending on your relationship.
- At the service, the first several rows are typically reserved for immediate family, so be sure to sit in an appropriate seat at the funeral.
- When writing a condolence, share a memory, tell them how much their friendship means, and let them know they are on your mind. Our website offers you the opportunity to offer online condolences so your message is immediately delivered to the family. You can find this at the bottom of your loved one’s obituary.
- An immediate quick phone call, visit or note is appropriate and meaningful.
- Send flowers, plants, prayer cards, or money to charitable organizations.
- Show support by lending a helping hand and offering concrete offers of assistance. You might offer to help them:
- Pick up guests from the airport
- Cook meals
- Run errands
- Perform household tasks

The wedding is over, you're blissfully happy, but what can you do with this wedding gown (& veil) hanging in your closet? (Your husband is starting to complain about not having any closet space.)
We also have very busy schedules which means we are not always at the shop. Our flagship location does not have regular set business hours- we are by appointment only so that we can be assured to be there when you are. If you show up without an appointment there is a good chance no one will be there. Which brings me to our shop. Our little shop began as nothing more than our "design studio"- a place for us to get together and create our gowns. Before long we ended up transforming it into our little flagship shop. It's not the fanciest building you'll ever see, its small and quaint and, to be honest, the lines are kind of funky. It reminds us of a Dr. Seuss building. But it's cute and cozy and we love to meet with brides there. Often we hear: "You guys need a big sign outside, we couldn't find you." This may indeed be true however the reason we don't have a large sign outside is because we do not want to attract foot traffic, for the reasons listed above. We are by appointment only and to those appointments we offer our address for their convenience. So- if you have an appointment, we are apparently hard to find. We are on the south side of Main Street in American Fork, right across from the Bank of American Fork, and right next to Tangie's diner. We are ALMOST at the corner of Center and Main. Guests can park on the street.
As I mentioned above- our space is "cozy" which means small. On busy days it can get crowded- which is one of many reasons why we limit your allotted number of guests. If every bride brought 4 guests at the same time we wouldn't have any room to move or breathe. So, we hate to be sticklers but... fire code, AND the more feet in a room, the more gowns get stepped on and ruined (seriously, we've had gowns get stepped on and ruined.)
So there, my friends, is the long response to the frequent questions we get. Schedule your appointment here, and we hope to see you soon!
There are lots of reasons why a bride would want a modest wedding dress, and whatever that reason is- we are here to help. We offer a variety of unique modest options, and the best part is we try our hardest to keep them as affordable as we can. Take a look at our collection page and schedule your appointment to come in and find your dream modest wedding dress. | <urn:uuid:bfa9f4ab-0be3-4536-9aed-7c6c2a668faf> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.elizabethcooperdesign.com/blog/archives/01-2019 | 2020-09-26T12:58:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.971167 | 558 |

The world’s largest interdealer broker, TP ICAP, has signed a deal with British Land to create a new headquarters in Broadgate. TP ICAP is set to take up four floors of 135 Bishopsgate, totalling 123,000 sq ft of office space.
The FTSE 250 firm will move to 135 Bishopsgate in the second quarter of 2020, after the building has been refurbished. The company plans to house all of its brokers under one roof following the merger of Tullett Prebon and ICAP in 2016. The offices will have individual entrances and security restrictions to keep the two companies separate.
The building is currently being transformed to embrace its architecturally striking features, providing creative workspaces with views over St Pauls and the City towers. From 2020, the building will also be home to the UK debut of the world renowned Eataly food market, which combines a selection of high-quality Italian products, restaurants and demonstrations under one roof.
TP ICAP also recently signed commercial leases to move staff into new offices in major global financial centres including Singapore, Sydney and New York.
Nicolas Breteau, CEO of TP ICAP, said “our new headquarters reflect the ambition we have for our business and will provide an environment in which our competing brands will continue to thrive. It is also an important landmark in the group’s integration as we reduce our global footprint of offices.”
David Lockyer, Head of Broadgate at British Land, said: “The quality of Broadgate’s offering and the service we provide here has been a key driver in TP ICAP’s decision to remain at the campus. Overlooking one of London’s liveliest streets, 135 Bishopsgate’s refurbishment marks a significant milestone in Broadgate’s evolution into a world class, mixed-use destination where innovation and finance meet. | <urn:uuid:56e75da3-5e64-4e52-af92-9d156b1abad1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.freeofficefinder.com/article/tp-icap-signs-deal-for-new-london-hq | 2020-09-26T12:10:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400241093.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926102645-20200926132645-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.944261 | 391 |
