RBR reader Mike Henderson had a total knee replacement in 2010, recovered and continued cycling strongly. He had his 2nd TKR in November 2011 and volunteered to document his recovery and rehabilitation to provide RBR readers who may be considering this or some other serious surgery some insight into what it entails. His hope, he said, is to encourage and inspire roadies to get back on the bike and continue on down the road.
I still can’t believe how well I’m doing and yet it hasn’t even been a full year. Last November, I had Total Knee Replacement (TKR) to my left knee (after previously having the procedure on my right knee). Recently, I completed my first double century (called the Grand Tour) since the surgery, in the Malibu area of California — only 7 months after the TKR.
I wrote some short articles for RBR Newsletter as I progressed in my early recovery to help others maybe look at this as one solution to knee aches and pain. Let me make this clear: I am not a physician. These are only my experiences. You should always go to a professional orthopedic who is qualified to evaluate your specific problem.
I received a great deal of notes, emails and letters from people across the U.S. of various ages with additional comments, thoughts and questions. The majority came from people in my age group of 50-ish.
My feeling is there are a lot of people in a similar situation to what I went through. Over the last 35 years I’ve had various types of knee problems, with my first operation in high school. From there I had 7 more. Over time and use I was down to bone on bone in both knees.
Nothing Else Worked
The bone on bone brought with it aching pain, mostly at night. I did try various methods such as aspirin, injections,ice, massaging, etc. But it reached a point that nothing was working any longer. Another cycling friend who was also 50 had just had knee replacement. He was doing great and suggested his doctor.
I met with his orthopedic, Dr. Coppe, and he did a full evaluation. We decided to start with the right knee and see if the left could go on for a while. After my right knee replacement, the recovery went spectacularly well, and 8 months later I did a 620-mile ride from San Francisco to San Diego over 7 days with the Challenge Athletes Foundation (CAF) as a Group Leader. Less than a full year later I was having severe pain in the left knee and decided to have that knee replaced as well. Originally, my orthopedic wanted to do both at the same time. I thought that would be a bit much, and am glad I did them separately.
My plan was straightforward regarding my recovery, and I followed the instructions of my orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist to the letter. I first ensured that both understood that I was a cyclist and wanted to get back to full power and capability.
A major portion of my recovery was centered on cycling. At first it was just being able to complete a full rotation, which took me a few weeks. Realize that knee replacement is similar to breaking your leg in half. You are rehabilitating your muscles, joints, tendons and nerves as they adjust to these artificial parts. Once I could do a full pedal stroke I then started to focus on an amount of time — 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, etc., without any resistance.
During this process I was also doing a lot of other exercises such as: standing on one leg for balance, step-ups one leg at a time, back extensions to strengthen the lower back muscles, squats, etc. We incorporated stretching as well, which was an important aspect. You don’t want the muscles to get tight and inflexible.
The hardest part of the process was getting the knee joint to flex again. This was an everyday workout with pain — a lot of pain. But the outcome was well worth the time spent. Over time I was able to bend the knee back to 110 degrees, well beyond what is needed to cycle (which in general is 90 degrees).
About a month and a half later I was able to ride on the road and again started out slowly. I signed up to coach the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Team in Training program for the Lake Tahoe Century. Having a goal kept me on track and moving forward.
On the first ride with them, on flat land, my knee swelled up like a balloon. At that point I thought I might not recover from this operation in time for the scheduled event, but gradually over the months my knee improved and there was less and less swelling.
Eventually my strength and endurance came back, too. I was instructing twice weekly SPIN classes for the group, and as the sun stayed out longer we switched one of those days to Mount Soledad repeats (long climbs).
When June 3rd came around, I was ready, strong and more than anxious to see my performance on a 100-mile ride. It was a perfect day in Tahoe, very unexpected, with sunshine and temperatures between 50 and 70. The day after the ride it snowed, hard, not unusual for June in the mountains. I had no problems climbing, pushing others up hills and returning to the course to ride in with my slowest group. This actually put about 120 miles on the day for me.
I had heard about a Double Century on June 23rd and spoke with the coach, Darryl Mackenzie, about my progress and if my existing training would suffice. He was very encouraging and indicated it shouldn’t be a problem with the group he was training called Double Team. Darryl has over 10 years of Double Century instruction and has written numerous articles and a training manual on this. The very next Saturday after Tahoe we did 130 miles.
Grand Tour Was a Great Test
The Grand Tour tested not only the strength of my leg but also my endurance and mental fortitude. Ask yourself, have you ever been out for a ride and spent 16 hours in total on it? Your mind has to wrap itself around this. The group I was riding with, 11 other people, made it that much easier as we talked, shared life experiences, and swapped stories. I couldn’t image doing it all on my own, and we picked up several lonely riders along the way.
The end result is that I’m a better man and I think much stronger than I was before this started. Not having to deal with knee pain has allowed me to extend my capabilities as a cyclist. I’m looking forward to a triple crown next year (3 doubles in one year) along with other challenges. Mountain biking, rock climbing, surfing, etc., are back on my list as well.
I was asked to be a part of group on knee replacement by WEGOHealth (www.wegohealth.com). They created short videos on mine and others’ personal experiences to provide insight to those assessing this type of treatment. I truly believe that being well-informed is an essential part of this process, and there is more and more information available all the time on the web.
I sincerely hope this helps someone out there realize that knee pain is not something you have to live with. Total Knee Replacement is a drastic process, with pain and a lot of work during the recovery, but the end result will be years of pain-free movement, which is essential to an active life.

I was not quite 42 when I had my left knee replaced 3 1/2 years ago. An injury forced the issue. I had to try it in order to ride again — or engage in any athletic activity, for that matter. | <urn:uuid:b0273ca6-039e-4da0-8237-3eb4d6f57c57> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.roadbikerider.com/total-knee-replacement-tkr-d1/ | 2020-09-19T23:06:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400192887.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919204805-20200919234805-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.98031 | 1,622 |

Business Valuation services involve a neutral third-party (valuation analyst) who assesses your business to determine its value. There are many reasons a business owner may need a valuation, but the majority of cases it falls into three categories: compliance such as financial reporting or tax compliance, amicable transactions including a merger or sale of their business, an ownership transition, buy-sell trigger, etc., and finally conflict resolution (marital and business divorce, shareholder dispute). With the information we provide, management will gain a clear understanding of the true dollar value associated with their business along with the confidence required to make critical business decisions. In addition, we work together with business owners to develop strategies that will amplify their valuation.
Business valuation is a formal process. For certified valuations, there are two general levels of service that we provide: An Opinion Of Value delivers the most thorough determination of your Company’s value and is typically used for accounting and tax compliance, or legal purposes; A Calculation Of Value also provides you with a determination of your Company’s value, but does not include the level of narrative report detail required for accounting, tax and legal purposes. As a CV can be completed faster and is less costly, it is generally preferable for valuations triggered by strategic planning, evaluating merger and acquisition offers, amicable partner buy-ins or buy-outs, and mediation assistance for disputes among others.
However, if a certified appraisal and formal valuation process is outside of your needs, do not fret as you have options for an informal analysis that can be budget friendly. | <urn:uuid:cdf5d182-2f8b-4451-97b7-4911ac3311e2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.soferadvisors.com/valuation-explained/ | 2020-09-19T22:48:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400192887.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919204805-20200919234805-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.948834 | 319 |
Reading and writing disorders most likely have a language component. Therefor, a child with difficulties reading and writing most likely needs speech therapy.
It is IMPERATIVE that a child has strong language skills to be a strong reader and writer.
Reading and writing disorders occur when a child has difficulty with decoding and sight words (actual reading), reading comprehension (understanding), spelling and grammar (mechanics), and composition (structure).
Reading and writing language disorders can involve any of the following 5 categories:
This is the SAME as language disorders.
Let’s break it down a little further!
Let's break it down a little further
Early language skills such as receptive and expressive vocabulary and grammar skills are the building blocks for reading comprehension.
Quick side note: reading comprehension is how one understands what he/she reads (not the actual decoding part).
A child needs to have a strong vocabulary and grammar skills to understand the content of what he/she is reading and be able to write. If a child has a good grasp on vocabulary words and how to relate them together (solid vocab learning), he/she has a strong understanding of words and how language can be used to express ideas.
If a child has a delay in receptive or expressive language skills, he/she is at risk for later reading difficulties. That is just another reason WHY speech therapy for grammar and vocabulary is so important.
Articulation or speech sound development is obviously very important for learning how to read (decoding).
By decoding, I mean learning that letters represent sounds and letters can be put together to make words. I apologize if that is the worst definition of learning how to read, but you get the point.
A child needs a strong representation of speech sounds, be able to make those sounds, and then be able to use those sounds to complete phonological awareness tasks.
*Side note - Phonological awareness is the ideas that words can be broken down into smaller units such as syllables & sounds
Phonological awareness tasks such as breaking words into syllables, rhyming, and deleting syllables are important pre-literacy skills and can be a reliable indicator for later reading abilities.
Ah, my favorite section. I love working on narrative structure because it can make such a huge impact academically and socially.
Narrative structure is the typical flow or schematic of a story. Most oral language and written stories follow a pattern. This pattern may also be called story grammar or story structure. They all mean the same thing.
A child with strong narrative structure skills will fill out their mental schema (who, what, where, what happened, feelings and resolution) as he/she reads. He/she will expect the next section to appear as the story goes on. This will aid in recall of the story, comprehension, being able to identify main ideas vs details, being able to retell the story, etc...
If a child has trouble with narrative structure, their reading comprehension will suffer. They will have a hard time recalling events, answering questions, and/or being able to analyze the story further.

Find out if you live in a food desert
Food deserts are low-income neighborhoods where people lack easy access to fresh foods. The areas were once thought confined mainly to the urban core of Nashville — downtown and surrounding neighborhoods such as Germantown, 12South, Hillsboro Village, Bordeaux and, across the Cumberland River, East Nashville.
But they have increasingly pushed outward. With no access to a personal vehicle, the poor are forced to buy their groceries at corner markets, where fresh food is hard to come by.
Use the interactive map above to find out if you live in a food desert. | <urn:uuid:d2e0a757-eef5-4763-87d4-6a7b14b0454f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2014/05/22/interactive-map-find-out-if-you-live-in-a-food-desert/9454459/ | 2020-09-19T23:11:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400192887.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919204805-20200919234805-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.961111 | 125 |
It’s that time of year again! The leaves are changing colors, Target ads are full of smiling kids wearing cute clothes and cool backpacks, and you’re starting to mentally and physically prepare for the impending school year. Some of you may have even already started school!
A lot of back-to-school preparation can be taken care of early – buying a new lunch box, thrifting for a new fall jacket, registering for SAT or ACT prep courses, and so on – but some activities are a daily struggle. Thankfully, we’re here to help you tackle one of those daily tasks – your back-to-school lunch!
We are going to showcase a few of our favorite sources of lunchtime inspiration, along with specific recipe recommendations and tweaks you can make to improve the flavor or preparation time.
The Domestic Geek
The Domestic Geek was launched in April 2014 by Sara Lynn Cauchon to show the world that delicious food can also be no-fuss and fresh, after learning how to cook from her mom. She has posted over 2,500 recipes featuring seasonal fare, meal prep, special occasion snacks, and your everyday lunch and dinner ideas.
Her 5 Healthy Meal Prep Ideas | Back-to-School 2017 video features a good mix of food that kids and adults will like. Anything with meatballs always seems to be a winner with any crowd, and deconstructed fajitas are great since they won’t get soggy before lunchtime. You can always adjust the spiciness for yourself or your children too. If certain foods, like the Asian slaw, don’t excite your kids, think about alternatives like a quick vegetable stir fry with broccoli and carrots. A few of the meals featured in Week 3 | 5 Healthy Back-to-School Meal Prep Recipes 2018 are also worth bookmarking, since they don’t need a microwave to be enjoyed! The Pasta Salad is delicious, and if you need more protein, you can always toss in some pieces of grilled chicken.
If you don’t have time to watch a video, check out her website or her Pinterest for the printable version of all her recipes! Her recipes give you the long-lasting energy you need to make it through your classes, your SAT study sessions, and your meetings, without hunger distracting you from your goals.
Mind Over Munch
Mind Over Munch started as a 100-day, clean-eating challenge for founder Alyssia Sheikh, but after her recipes and posts skyrocketed in popularity, she officially launched her brand in January 2014. Alyssia was a longtime fitness instructor and personal trainer with a love for food, and now wants to help others find balance and moderation in their diets. Most of her recipes are for those who meal prep, but most can be adapted for a single-day need.
If the idea of meal prep is daunting to you, you should definitely check out her One Hour Meal Prep for the Week video. It shows you how to assemble some simple meals for the week with time-saving tricks. She uses a variety of pre-made foods, like pre-cooked, pre-shredded chicken, to keep her meal prep under an hour, but you can always make those items yourself to save a few dollars if you have an extra 20 minutes. If you own an Instant Pot, you can simply throw a pound of thawed chicken in with at least 1 cup of chicken broth, the seasoning of your choice, and cook on high for about 15 minutes. That’s long enough to answer some emails or do a few practice questions for the ACT while you wait for the chicken to cook! If you’re feeling nostalgic, you should watch Alyssia’s DIY Lunchables – Healthy Bento Box video. She demonstrates how to make the healthy versions of your favorite Lunchables! A lot of the items are made from scratch, but you can always swap out the homemade chickpea crackers with some store-bought alternatives. No matter how you tweak it, these are lunches that will make the other kids (or grown-ups) jealous. These recipes can also inspire you to make copycat versions of your other favorite grab-and-go meals, like Starbucks Bistro Boxes!
You can find printable versions of the Mind Over Munch recipes on her website and Pinterest, and she’s also active on Instagram. Alyssia’s recipes make you excited about your meals with their appealing aesthetic and how little time you have to spend on them!
Budget Bytes was created in 2009 by Beth Moncel, a then-recent college grad with a degree in Nutritional Science and a mountain of student debt who did not want to resort to ramen noodles for every meal. She started Budget Bytes to show people that good food doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive. Beth offers over 1,000 recipes that highlight the cost per meal and serving, step-by-step photos alongside her recipe instructions, and plenty of substitutions if you are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or simply need a cheaper alternative.
Everyone loves takeout, but it’s not generally an option when you’re on a tight budget. That’s why Easy Sesame Chicken is a great recipe when the Chinese takeout cravings hit on a weeknight! It’s cheap, quick, filling, and you can pair it endlessly with whatever produce is on sale that week. You can just make a little extra sauce, then add it to your steamed, sautéed, or blanched vegetables. If you want a meat-free option, then swap your chicken with some firm tofu. Before you fry your tofu, make sure you wrap it in paper towels and press it between two places to release the extra moisture. Beth also posts collections of related recipes if you don’t want to scroll through hundreds of recipes. A recent one is 28 Low or No Cook Recipes for Summer, for when you don’t want to fire up the oven on a hot summer day. Cowboy Caviar is great and can be varied to your tastes. The beans offer a good amount of protein, and you can omit the jalapeño if you don’t like too much heat. It’s also fun to throw in some corn to get a little more sweetness in the mix!
Budget Bytes has some videos on YouTube if you’re looking for some background watching, and is also active on Instagram and Pinterest. If you’re looking to save money due to all the recent school costs, or just some inspiration for some delicious healthy food, you should definitely consider Budget Bytes.
There’s our roundup for the day! If you didn’t spot anything here that fit your needs, maybe check out She’s in Her Apron or Honeysuckle for a mix of food and life tips, Just One Cookbook for comforting Japanese cooking, or Cooking Shooking for all the Indian food you could ever want. Good luck with your lunch preparation, and we hope you have a great start to your school year!

Even something as easy as guessing the beginning letter of long words can assist your child improve his phonics abilities. Vocational Worksheet Adults.
There isn't anything like a superb story, and nothing like being the person who started a renowned urban legend. Deciding upon the ideal approach route Cursive writing is basically joined-up handwriting. Practice reading by yourself as often as possible.
Research urban legends to obtain a concept of what's out there prior to making a new one. You are still not sure the radicals have the proper idea. Naturally, you won't use the majority of your ideas. If you've got an idea for a tool please inform us. That means you can begin right where you are no matter how little you might feel you've got to give. You are also quite suspicious of any revolutionary shift. In earlier times you've stated that the move of independence may be too early.
Each lesson in handwriting should start on a fresh new page, so the little one becomes enough room to practice. Every handwriting lesson should begin with the alphabets. Handwriting learning is just one of the most important learning needs of a kid. Learning how to read isn't just challenging, but fun too.
The use of grids The use of grids is vital in earning your child learn to Improve handwriting.

Member since: June 2019
What do you do for a living?: Physical Therapy Student at Samford University
How did you hear about CrossFit and what was your first workout?: A CrossFit gym opened by my high school in 2015. I had no idea what CrossFit was, but I knew I needed direction with my workouts. 5 years later, here I am! I cannot remember what my first workout was, but I remember not being able to feel my body after.
How many days do you CrossFit? What classes do you normally attend? 4-5 days/week is my goal. I rotate between 11:15 am and 3:30 pm
Favorite CrossFit movement/workout? Snatches are my favorite movement because when you get it right, you feel like you got it right.
Least favorite CrossFit movement/workout? Thrusters or Front Squats.
What motivates you/keeps you coming back to CrossFit Mudtown? After being in class almost all day, walking through Mudtown’s doors is a breath of fresh air. I can lift with some awesome people for an hour. What could be better?
Most embarrassing/funniest gym moment? The box I went to while I was in undergrad had a VERY high bar on their rig. It became a competition as to who could jump and touch it because everyone was below 5’5”. Me, being an ex-volleyball player, did an approach and touched the bar! I won the competition but the glory was short lived because I fell flat on my back right after.
Favorite thing about Birmingham? The sunshine and beer.
What accomplishment are you most proud of (outside and inside of the gym)? My biggest accomplishment outside of the gym was getting into the only Physical Therapy school I applied to, in addition to not being waitlisted. My biggest accomplishment inside the gym was competing in a USAW weightlifting competition in Canton, OH. I did alright for my first time!
What is your favorite meal? A PB&J toasted like a grilled cheese sandwich.
What are some of your interests outside of CrossFit? I love to cook!
What is one goal that you are currently working on? I want to learn how to coach Adaptive CrossFit.
Do you have a hidden talent? I can draw portraits but only with pencils, and I’ve played piano since I was 5 years old
Tell us a fun/interesting fact not many people know about you. I can read and speak Greek (not fluently), but I had to go to Greek School growing up (just like the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding). | <urn:uuid:2f422a01-7143-4d88-8117-982d38eb2e44> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://crossfitmudtown.com/feat-member/cara-reedy/ | 2020-09-21T06:04:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.977242 | 550 |

The ChronoPi is an extremely accurate real time clock module designed for use with all current Raspberry Pi models with GPIO pins. It is based on the DS3231 temperature compensated RTC (TCXO). It includes a CR1220 battery which should last at least 3-4 years without power…longer if power is usually available. No external crystal or tuning capacitors are required.
The DS3231 has an internal crystal and a switched bank of tuning capacitors. The temperature of the crystal is continuously monitored, and the capacitors are adjusted to maintain a stable frequency. Other RTC solutions may drift minutes per month, especially in extreme temperature ranges…the ChronoPi will drift less than a minute per year. This makes the ChronoPi very well suited for time critical applications that cannot be regularly synchronized to an external clock.
Applications that may benefit from accurate timekeeping include:
The ChronoPi will plug into the GPIO header of a Raspberry Pi single board computer, and will not otherwise interfere with Raspberry Pi connectors or most optional processor heatsinks.
Time information is sent and retrieved over the Raspberry Pi's I2C interface. This is fully supported by Raspbian Linux, which even recognizes the ChronoPi's internal temperature sensor to allow users access to the current ambient temperature.
|Accuracy:||± 3.5ppm at -40C to +85C (~1 minute per year)|
|Power Supply:||2.3 to 5.5 V DC|
|Current:||200uA (active), 840nA (timekeeping)|
|Dimensions:||23mm x 13.5mm x 12.5mm|
|Pin Spacing:||0.1 inches|
The ChronoPi has a top-mounted battery holder – no soldering required. Simply remove the included CR1220 battery from its packaging, and slide into the battery holder. Please ensure the top (marked +) side of the battery is facing the top of the battery holder (also marked +).
The 3V3 and GND pins are used to power the ChronoPi when it is connected to a Raspberry Pi. While typical usage will be with the Raspberry Pi's 3.3 volt GPIO levels, the ChronoPi will also operate between 2.3 and 5.5 volts.
The battery is a 3V lithium CR1220 coin cell, provided with every ChronoPi purchase. You should install the battery before use, to prevent loss of timekeeping during power off cycles.
The SDA and SCL pins are used to communicate with the ChronoPi, using the I2C standard interface. The I2C bus requires pullup resistors from SDA and SCL to 3V3. Since the Raspberry Pi already has the resistors in place, these are not implemented on the ChronoPi itself.
The DS3231 datasheet provides all other necessary information such as registers, maximum voltages, power consumption, and special features.
With the Raspberry Pi power off, plug the ChronoPi into the far left (pin 1) side of the GPIO header as shown below:

You already know that a broken air conditioner is in need of repair, but did you know that delaying those repairs results in more expensive repairs or a complete replacement of your AC? It is not something you can let go and wait on, especially if you want to use your A/C next year and all of the hot summers that follow. Here are all the reasons why immediate AC repair is necessary for the continued functioning of your existing air conditioner.
Your Home Begins To Warm Up Within A Few Hours
Even if you keep all your curtains and blinds drawn on hot days to keep the sun out and keep the house cooler, your home eventually loses what cooled air it has. Within a day where outside temps are flirting with the nineties up to one hundred degrees and above, your cooled air inside is depleted. It will still feel a little cooler indoors, but if you check your thermostat you will see that it is still warmer than what you want inside, and especially warmer than what you want it to be when you go to sleep at night.
If you leave your AC unfixed for several days, those outside temps will quickly become your inside temps within just a few short days. If you are trying to run the broken appliance during this time, you will only damage it further. More parts will need replacing while the machine strives to reduce the growing heat inside your home.
The Overworked And Broken AC Will Be Less Efficient When Repaired
Imagine working yourself beyond the point where you can function. Even after things are properly replenished, you are still too worn to work properly. The same is true of your air conditioner. If you keep trying to make it work when it needs to be repaired, or you avoid repairing it for a long time, it will be less efficient when parts are finally replaced because the rest of the machine worked too hard when it had broken parts. A less-efficient machine will cost you more to operate it in the long run, and all of those additional operational expenses could have been avoided had the machine been repaired sooner.
Air Conditioner Fires Are a Real Thing
Air conditioners do catch fire. They do erupt into smoke and flames. There are flammable substances inside, and there are parts that can overheat. There are also A/C fires related to electrical problems, and those kinds of fires can spread into your home causing greater devastation. Do not let something as small as a few repairs and parts replacements on this appliance erupt into something dangerous. | <urn:uuid:b7c106c7-7934-44fd-bf56-d3664dd1ed76> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://goldstonebpo.com/2019/07/24/why-immediate-ac-repairs-are-necessary-to-the-continued-functioning-of-your-appliance/ | 2020-09-21T05:55:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.954407 | 512 |
By Dr. Nammy Patel, DDS
For a growing number of patients, a trip to the dentist isn’t what it used to be–and that’s how they want it.
Rather than just a routine “drill-and-fill” for a cavity, they may receive a head massage, meditative advice and diet suggestions that would seem more befitting a gastroenterologist. What they won’t receive are traditional amalgam fillings–about 50 percent of which are composed of mercury, which has been associated with numerous health issues and is considered an environmental hazard.
This emerging branch of dentistry–which dental professionals say is largely patient-driven–is called “holistic” or “holistic biological.” Holistic dentists believe that poor oral health leads to poor physical health. They perform traditional procedures but consider the whole body–diet, lifestyle, emotional health–when treating teeth. They also focus on using what they consider to be safer materials.
“It’s the opposite of common dental culture, which is simply ‘drill and fill,’ ” says Dr. Nammy Patel, DDS (www.sfgreendentist.com), author of Age With Style: Your Guide To A Youthful Smile & Healthy Living. “Holistic dentistry is looking at and addressing the underlying causes for gum disease and cavities; for example, is it your diet, hormonal changes, or acid reflux?
“For many years in the dental profession, it was assumed that your oral health had only a tangential effect on your overall health. We now know better.”
Dr. Patel provides five reasons holistic dentistry is trending up as a treatment approach by patients:
Focus on the whole body and root cause. Holistic dentistry looks beyond symptoms to find root causes for dental issues while expanding methods of preventive care.
Minimally-invasive treatments. “The focus is on helping patients avoid unnecessary, painful and drawn-out procedures that can hurt overall well-being,” Dr. Patel says. “That doesn’t mean sacrificing high-tech treatments for disease. Laser treatments for gum disease and cleaning are one example of minimally-invasive. The latter does a great job of destroying bacteria that are the biggest danger to your oral health. Air abrasion and ozone therapy are other effective minimally-invasive procedures. Biocompatible and non-toxic materials. Holistic dentists will remove amalgam (mercury) fillings and favor dental appliances made from more natural substances. “A traditional approach to dentistry often uses mercury fillings or crowns and other harmful materials when treating dental issues.”
Alternatives to root canals. Dr. Patel says holistic dentists are more likely to look at alternatives, such as herbs, laser therapy, or extractions.
Balances cosmetics and function. “Missing, damaged, or crooked teeth can make you feel self-conscious and affect your quality of life.”
Air abrasion and ozone therapy are effective minimally-invasive procedures. | <urn:uuid:8cb4e939-e7e0-48fd-bac3-b7a9cf8367ed> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://inspirehealthmag.com/5-reasons-green-dentistry-is-gaining-popularity/ | 2020-09-21T05:26:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.942118 | 655 |
The Paisley Daily Express has escaped censure from the Press Complaints Commission, following a complaint from a woman who felt her privacy had been invaded following the publication of her name and address.
It follows a report of court proceedings in October last year.
Says the PCC: “The article was a brief court report which stated that a man had appeared in Paisley Sheriff Court on petition charged with assaulting and threatening to kill the complainant. The article named the complainant. The coverage also reported the address of the defendant which, in addition to being where the alleged offence took place, was also the complainant's home. The complainant said that the court hearing was held in private and that her personal details and the specific charges against the defendant were not stated aloud in court.”
It continued: “The newspaper said that the article was an accurate account of the court proceedings based on information from a reliable court source. While he was not present in court, the reporter had been given sight of the petition document by an officer of the court and had copied the details of the case onto his laptop. There was no court order in place preventing the publication of the details. Nonetheless, the newspaper said that it would not name the complainant in any future reporting of the case.”

What I like about this Web search engine is simply because of these features: cash back, provides answers to inquiry and has spell-checker. When you use aafter.com to buy any product online, you can avail its cash back facility. There is a certain percentage of the price as cash back which aafter.com pays back. This feature is new to me and I like the idea of getting more savings by using this search engine. When you type your inquiry on the search box, aafter.com provides link to Wikipedia, yahoo, chacha, eHow, YouTube and many more. Aafter.com provides all the important sites available to get the possible answers you needed. The most important feature that is very useful for me is the spell-check tool. Aafter.com has the spell-check feature and provides the correct spelling on the word.

This week we have briefly moved away from last week’s discussion on ‘Where does water come from?’ to Easter Celebrations and Harmony Week.
With only two weeks to go till Easter, the Koala group have been very busy creating Easter egg baskets, making bunny rabbits, colouring and cutting Easter pictures, making invitation for our families and Easter hat making. We have also been talking about Easter and what it means to them. One boy said it means, we get to eat Chocolate Eggs. While one girl said it means we get to have an Easter egg hunt with our families. We spoke about how most of us do celebrate Easter, some of our friends don’t because of their culture beliefs and that is ok.
Which lead us on to the discussion of Harmony day, I explained to the children we will be celebrating Harmony Day on Thursday 21st March. Harmony Day is a day of celebrating and making sure everyone belongs, no matter where you were born, what colour your skin or what colour your eyes are. Each child will have a copy of their hand prints in brown and orange paint and placed on our harmony/belonging tree in the next few weeks.
On Monday the 25th March 2013 we will be having our end of term celebration and Hat Parade.
Learning Outcome 1: Children have a sense of identify and
Learning Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world

What is the MAVNI Citizenship program?
The Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest (MAVNI) program allows for certain eligible noncitizens who are legally present in the United States to join a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces Military and immediately apply for U.S. Citizenship. This new program allows for legal aliens to apply using Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, without first obtaining Lawful Permanent Resident status. This program is only available to legal aliens with critical skills, such as physicians and nurses and experts in certain languages with associated cultural backgrounds.
What are the eligibility requirements to be considered for MAVNI?
Currently, there are eleven criteria that must be met:
- Individuals must be in the U.S. in one of the following categories at the time of their enlistment:
- Must be legally present in the U.S. for a minimum of 2 years without a single extended absence over 90 days
- Must meet certain U.S. Army criteria to include:
- a High School diploma
- qualifying scores on Armed Forces Qualification Test
- passing proficiency test in native language
An applicant who is eligible under the above is not rendered ineligible by virtue of having a pending application for adjustment of status to lawful permanent residence.
In the specific case of an alien with H nonimmigrant status at the time of filing a pending application for adjustment of status who has lost such status while his or her application for adjustment was pending, and who is otherwise eligible for enlistment under the MAVNI program, the military Service may on a case-by-case basis waive the requirement that the non-citizen be an asylee, refugee or have TPS at the time of enlistment.
If you need assistance in assessing if MAVNI is the right program for you, please feel free to contact our Los Angeles immigration lawyer now for a free consultation.
What are the requirements for Health Care Professionals seeking MAVNI benefits?
- fill medical specialties where the service has a shortfall
- meet all qualification criteria required for their medical specialty, and the criteria for foreign-trained DoD medical personnel recruited under other authorities
- demonstrate proficiency in English
- commit to at least 3 years of active duty, or six years in the Selected Reserve
What are the requirements for Enlisted Individuals with Special Language and Culture Backgrounds seeking MAVNI benefits?
To be eligible for MAVNI benefits, applicants with special language and culture backgrounds must:
- possess specific language and culture capabilities in a language critical to DoD
- demonstrate a language proficiency
- meet all existing enlistment eligibility criteria
- enlist for at least 4 years of active duty
- (Services may add additional requirements)
How do I apply for immigration benefits under the MAVNI program?
You can apply for MAVNI based on your specific skill set. There are different applications depending on your abilities. If you need assistance with applying for MAVNI, please contact our experienced immigration and visa attorneys. We offer a confidential, free initial consultation.
Is there an expedited review process for MAVNI applicants?
Service members are eligible for expedited citizenship under a July 2002 Executive Order, and the military services have worked closely with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to streamline citizenship processing for service members. Since Sept. 11, 2001, over 78,000 (as of April 2012) members of the Armed Forces have attained their citizenship while serving this nation.
Can I leave the United States after I am accepted into the MAVNI program?
Once a person has enlisted in MAVNI, he no longer has “nonimmigrant intent.” If he or she leaves the U.S. before going to Basic Training, no re-entry into U.S. on temporary status will be allowed. There is nothing the military authorities can do to assist that person in returning to the U.S. legally. However, once a MAVNI enlistee has obtained U.S. citizenship and a U.S. passport, he or she may travel freely.
Can my family members accompany me to the United States or obtain legal status in the U.S.?
If the enlistee has family members in a dependent immigration status, the family members are not eligible for any benefits until Basic Training has been completed. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not seek to deport the dependents of MAVNI soldiers who have entered the country legally. However, it is important to note that dependents who are in the U.S. illegally or have otherwise broken the law may be subject to arrest or deportation despite their relationship to the MAVNI soldier. The military and DHS want enlistees to feel that these dependents are safe from deportation during the basic training period.
Can I sponsor my relatives for a Green Card in the U.S.?
You can sponsor your relatives for U.S. Green Card. After the enlistee becomes a citizen, he or she may help any dependents obtain permanent residence through normal family-based immigration procedures. Citizenship is not acquired automatically by the dependents. | <urn:uuid:fc1e5965-5153-4e41-a42b-da204d749b05> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.jcsimmigration.com/military-accessions-vital-national-interest-mavni-recruitment-expedited-citizenship/ | 2020-09-21T05:35:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.933053 | 1,059 |
I first developed an interest in baking shortly after getting married, when my pie-loving husband requested a cherry pie for Thanksgiving. I had never made anything more than boxed cake before, but we were both impressed at how it turned out. After that initial pie, I quickly began experimenting with any new pie, cake, and cookie recipes I could get my hands on.
As I began to study the art and science of baking, I was impressed by how beautifully a cake could be decorated, but found that I was constantly underwhelmed by the taste of professional cakes that I tried. It seemed like you could either find something that looked amazing, but didn’t taste great, or find something that tasted great but wasn’t one of those incredible works of art. I knew there had to be a way to marry taste and design together, so I set out to learn how to make cakes that were delicious works of art.
I began by baking and decorating dream cakes for my children’s birthdays. It wasn’t long before other parents started to ask me where I’d bought my “beautiful cakes.” That was when I started to realize that I could turn this into a successful business and started to sell cakes to friends and acquaintances.
From there, I founded Kara’s Bake Shoppe and began selling cookies, cupcakes, cake pops, pies, and breads at a local farmer’s market. Between the exposure I received at the market and word of mouth referrals, my business grew rapidly. I received so many custom cake and cookie orders that I eventually had to make the tough decision to stop selling at the farmer’s market, despite how much I enjoyed being part of the community.
I have been in business for seven years now, and I treasure the opportunity I have to be a small but important part of so many people’s lives as they celebrate their marriages, babies, birthdays, graduations, and more. | <urn:uuid:6a87aa0c-fcb6-4bd5-a347-84368017670f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.karasbakeshoppe.com/about.html | 2020-09-21T06:41:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.988519 | 409 |
Move over ugly Christmas sweaters. There’s a fun new addition – the ugly Christmas hat.
After our son received an invitation to an ugly Christmas attire party, I placed an online order for a sweater he liked. Well, I goofed. I intended to order a bigger size (XL) so he could wear it a couple of years. Instead I ordered an extra small.
Not the same.
This mistake was realized when it arrived 2 days before the party. By then I couldn’t order a replacement as we were out of time and the store was out of stock.
We quickly switched to DIY mode. Instead of making a sweater, we opted for a fun shirt paired with a festive hat that would be used for years to come. Best of all, it was very easy to make and inexpensive. Here’s how we created it for less than $5:
- Santa hat (Dollar Tree)
- Battery operated lights (Target) + batteries
Step 1 Open the light package and stretch out the strand enough to separate all the lights. It doesn’t have to be fully straight or even pretty since the goal is an “ugly” or “tacky” look.
Step 2 Tuck battery pack into band of your Santa hat. Decide on placement of first light and use stapler to secure part of the wiring.
Step 3 Continuing working around the hat band with the lights and stapler.
TIP Since our strand was made of wires, I carefully bent it and tucked in excess all the way around to get the placement how I liked. Then I came back and secured it at each light with a staple.
That’s it! Super simple. Now flip on your lights, try on the hat, and show off your festive look!

I was contacted recently by one Jeff Clarke, who describes himself as a “Design Evangelist at Viximo”. He promised that his Viximo Elves had decided that my work was worthy of inclusion in the Viximo community. Was this something i should take any notice of?
If you are not aware of the company yet, Viximo is a provider of virtual goods, digital illustrations effectively, and can range from birthday cakes to puppies to digital animations. Their intention is to provide a virtual goods network in the same way that online ad networks distribute and place ads, like Google.
CEO of Viximo, Rob Frasca, at the Virtual Goods Summit in San Francisco, says that Facebook is earning upwards of $35 million a year on members who are sending virtual goods to each other (source). Jumping over to the Far East, we find Tencent, one of China’s largest internet portals with over 250 million user accounts. Looking at their Q3 2008 results, shows that the company generated $296 million (up 27% from just the quarter before that), with over 65% of their revenue coming from virtual goods. It certainly seems there is a market there. And that market is growing fast.
So, for illustrators and graphic designers with a bit of a dab hand at digital media and looking to make a few bob, this might come as some interesting news. | <urn:uuid:27d068eb-905b-4a79-a025-6c1d38534d64> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://apeonthemoon.com/2009/02/04/virtual-goods-in-a-virtual-world-2/ | 2020-09-21T06:21:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.974563 | 286 |

Works by some 35 Canadian Impressionists will be seen in three European cities before returning to Ottawa for a major exhibition in the fall of 2020, the National Gallery of Canada has announced
Canada and Impressionism: New Horizons will feature about 120 pieces of Canadian art made between 1880 and 1930 and it will debut in Munich, Germany, this July. It will feature art made between 1880 and 1930.
The exhibition aims to showcase the versatility and ability of Canadian artists who made significant contributions to the Impressionist movement, the gallery said.
The exhibition will be in the Kunsthalle München in Munich (July 19 until Nov. 2019), the Fondation de l’Hermitage in Lausanne, Switzerland (Jan. 24 to May 24, 2020) and the Musée Fabre in Montpellier, France (June 13 to Sept. 27).
When the exhibition opens at the National Gallery sometime later in the fall of 2020, it will include archival and photographic materials, works on paper and sculptures.
The intention of Canada and Impressionism: New Horizons is to introduce these Canadian impressionist artists from the turn of the 20th century to broader audiences.
The show is curated by the gallery’s Senior Curator of Canadian Art Katerina Atanassova. Many of these artists are unknown beyond Canada’s borders and little known within them.
“This is a missing chapter in the history of world impressionism that needed to be explored and explained to audiences abroad and at home,” said Atanassova.
In her research, Atanassova said she found a letter that underlines the importance of these artists.
It was written by Lawren Harris after his return to Canada.
“He admitted that he needed to look at painters such as Suzor Cote and James Wilson Morrice and that he needed to forget what he had learned in Europe and learn how to look at this country with fresh eyes.
“I think he was inspired by the people who came before the Group of Seven such as the Beaver Hall Group.”
Canadian artists lived and studied in France, starting in the late 1870s. They were influenced by artists such as Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and others. They took home what they learned and developed an Impressionism inspired by this country.
The exhibition is broken into seven sections from the early influence of the Barbizon School of painting to Impressionism and beyond to Modernism.
Importantly the exhibition features works by leading female artists such as Mary Bell Eastlake, Emily Carr, Prudence Howard and Sophie Pemberton.
“The two goals of the exhibition are really simple,” Atanassova said. “We are seeing around the world every other country’s Impressionism. But Canada is not in the conversation.
“This exhibition says to a wider audience: ‘Here is a missing chapter in global history of this movement and we are going to put Canadian artists on the map’.”
The show also wants Canadians to see the role of the Impressionists in the development of modern art in this country, she said.
She said Canadian Impressionism sought a way to interpret the light they found in Canada. Impressionism, broadly speaking, “is speaking the language of modern art and the awareness of what light does in the retina and how the artist captures a fleeting moment on a canvas — it is an impression of a land, an impression of time and an impression of reality,” she said.
“When the artists returned home they found a different reality and different light.” That forced them to adapt what they had learned to become more authentic to the Canadian reality.
They had to figure out how to paint snow en plein air, for example. Our harsh northern light was falling on a white surface and they saw it was blue and pink or purple.”
The exhibition will reveal that there was a much bigger discussion happening in Canadian art at the time. It was much more than the Group of Seven. In fact, three members of the Group of Seven, Harris, A.Y. Jackson and J.E.H. MacDonald, were part of this artistic discussion in 1913 to 1916 before they formed the group.
It includes artists from the west like Emily Carr to the east such as the artist Frances Jones, from Halifax, who, Atanassova said, was the earliest Canadian in Paris. She has also included many women artists whose place in the conversation is less well know such as Margaret Macpherson and Sophie Pemberton.
The galleries in Europe showing the work all have a reputation for presenting Impressionism. Beginning in Munich is important, Atanassova said, because the Kunsthalle is major gallery in the city, but also “because German audiences have never seen Canadian art not even the Group of Seven. Now we will see how Europe responds to our art.” | <urn:uuid:e2c2f79f-65a0-4b40-b866-d9a5d8ca3edb> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://artsfile.ca/national-gallery-aims-to-put-canadian-impressionism-in-new-light-with-exhibitions-in-europe/ | 2020-09-21T06:07:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.974562 | 1,031 |
Over the last several years, big data has created a lot of buzz in the business circle. The topic is wide and deep. Sometimes it is referred as analysis or data analytics. According to Harvard Business Review , Data Scientist is the sexiest job in this century. Thousands of data scientists are being hired by both well-established companies and startups. In fact, in some quarters, data scientists are seen as a threat to the advisory capacity of accountants. Before we can explore the impact of big data in accounting, let’s first discuss what big data is.
What is Big Data?
There is no unified definition of big data. It varies across the spheres. The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), see big data as a huge amount of data that is continuously collected and aggregated through various tools and technologies such as the Internet, debit cards, electronic tags, and social media. The convergence in technology, widespread use of mobile devices, and the shift from analog to digital have combined to create a huge amount of data, mostly unstructured. The generation of this data has outpaced the capacity of traditional tools and databases. This informed the coining of the term big data.
An alternative way to look at big data is to take into account the data generated by devices or machinery we use such as automobiles. There are several data that can be captured in your car. The data could include speed, time driven, dashboard settings, amount of pressure applied to brake pedals, GPS location, whether the driver is talking while driving, number of breaks at any particular distance, tire pressures, and much more. An automobile manufacturer with more than 20 million cars on the market will find it impossible to collect all this data.
If you consider the above situation, it is clear that big data has exploded in a variety of ways. First, the data comes in volumes that a typical server cannot handle. The data is often measured in terabytes. Besides this, the data come in a variety of forms because it originates from different devices and sources. Sometimes, the data come in unstructured formats. The speed at which data is being collected has also changed. In a split of a second, data is generated. What is even more challenging is that sometimes this data is incomplete or inconsistent.
Despite the challenges, there are more than one in which such data can be captured and stored.
- Categorical. This way, data is categorized according to predefined criteria such as regions
- Ordinal. Data is ranked according to quality, for example, average, good, excellent
- Interval Data. Measured according to the distance between intervals such as temperature
- Ratio Data. It is interval data that has a natural zero.
One of the challenges that data scientists have to grapple with is that big data has to be cleansed, verified, formatted, merged, and secured before analysis. In addition to this, privacy and security continue to present more challenges. Data access should be restricted to only a few people who can analyze and use the results. Besides this, analytical tools are not supposed to collect personally identifiable information.
Impact of Big Data in Accounting
The impact of big data is evident in nearly all industries. Most organizations are changing priorities. They are facing the new challenge of managing a vast amount of data that is collected every day. Many business leaders are looking into various ways of profitably managing these amorphous data sets without threatening relationships with their customers.
In the accounting sector, big data is useful in adding value to general accounting and audits functions. Big data enable companies to conduct data-driven audits, which is beneficial to both the client and the auditor. Big data is also useful in management accounting especially in identifying and managing risks. In tax, big data offers an improved way of analyzing the efficiency and identify areas where improvement is required. It can also help to identify new opportunities, especially on the global scale. Generally, big data can be useful in making businesses more efficient.
Big data has presented both challenges and opportunities to accounting professionals. It has begun to create ripples in business. There is high chance that a new accounting paradigm will emerge in the next few years. The Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) and ACCA believe that big data has offered the accountant and other finance professionals a chance to reinvent themselves and possibly take strategic and dynamic roles in organizations. Professionals who will have the skills to see patterns in data and translate them into actionable insights will become more relevant to 21st-century business. That said, the transition would not be easy.
In one of its reports, “Big data: its power and perils”, ACCA and IMA pointed out that Accountants and finance professionals can provide new and critical service if they are trained to collect, analyze, and utilize data in forecasting and modeling. The main challenges and opportunities in the next 10 years will revolve around the development of new metrics, the creation of the visual language of data art, and upgrading the analytic skills. To remain relevant and take advantage of big data in the next 5 – 10 years, finances professionals and accountants need to do the following.
- Utilize big data to offer a more strategic role in decision making.
- Develop new methods for valuation of data and take a proactive role in internal controls and compliance.
Use big data and analytical tools to detect risks in real time as well as to boost forensic accounting.
The above tells us that accountants should find a way to measure big data as one of the organization’s asset. It also means that they should use big data as one of the ways to measure organizational performance. This supports the growing trends toward integrated reporting and adoption of non-financial data in company reports to paint a clearer picture of performance.
Naturally, accountants are trained to collect, record, and analyze financial information, so these professionals can expand their cores skills to include non-financial information and other datasets. In the process, they can help make big data more structured and smaller. The increased value that these better skilled professional bring into the organizations can help to shift the finance department from a service function to a strategic-business service.
All of the above will create more challenges in the sector. The future will more likely be defined by both the transfer of skills as well as the development of new skills. Accountants and other finance professionals will need to focus mainly on three areas that big data will have big implications on.
- Increased use of big data in decision making
- Application of big data in identification and management of risk
- Valuation of data assets
The hallmark of big data is that it focuses on non-financial information (NFI) captured at different intervals of a transaction. This is different from the way financial transactions are captured and analyzed. For many years, accountants maintain a double entry system to record transactions. Therefore, the task at hand, for the accounting sector is to connect the financial data with non-financial information.
According to Ernst and Young (EY), big data is fundamentally changing the way audits are conducted. The vast amount of information and the power of data analytics technologies has seen audit departments shift from the traditional audit approach to a more modern one that integrates analytics and big data. With big data, it is possible to expand beyond sample-based to the analysis of the entire population. Intelligent analytics has enhanced the quality of business insights and audit evidence.
The EY report also noted that there are several analytics dilemmas and barriers to integration. The main barrier is data capture. Most companies invest heavily in data protection, so they tend to be reluctant to provide data mainly due to security reasons. In addition to this, auditors encounter different accounting systems such that it is difficult to extract data because neither the companies nor the auditors have the core competence to extract data. The only way big data can be useful is if it is integrated with auditing.
Most of the audit standards were developed long before big data emerged, so there is need to align them with data analytics. On top of this, the audit committee should look into how big data could support compliance and risk. They also need to focus on technical competency development. This will enable auditors to use analytics and larger data sets to identify risk, understand business, and offer a better coverage.
The impact of big data has left finance professionals and accountants at a crossroad. On one end, they can upgrade their skills to adapt to the business environment and to be able to move up the value chain and probably take a strategic role in shaping the future of their organizations. The second option is to do nothing and let advancement in technology downgrade their role. The wider adoption of big data could see organizations transform their financial reporting in the next few years. | <urn:uuid:5ab35f99-35c1-493b-ba2b-fd31ea824660> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://bigdatashowcase.com/big-data-and-the-future-of-accountancy/ | 2020-09-21T07:11:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.950166 | 1,791 |

Okay, I am outing a friend but she has been duly warned before hand!
I truly love my friend Sheila who is originally from Kenya. She is incredibly brilliant, funny, caring and as addicted to dancing as I am. And that is where this story begins.
You see, she and I find a way to dance almost every weekend. The last couple we haven’t for one reason or another. So it was a given that we just needed to dance this weekend. Thanks to our other dance co-conspirator, Erin we found out about a Dance Battle taking place at Alliance Francaise. After what had been an incredibly busy and stressful week for all of us we were eagerly looking forward to it.
Sheila and I had planned to meet for dinner before hand so we could have some time chatting and destressing before heading to Alliance Francaise for the main event. After what was an enjoyable visit we decided to walk to the event from the News Cafe where we had eaten. As it is not that far we decided to walk it instead.
Less than two minutes into the walk, Sheila fessed up. Like me, she is tends to carry a very large purse with a multitude of items within. So I really can’t be judgmental but in this case I definitely am, or at least highly amused.
As I mentioned before Sheila is from Kenya which is an African country like many others that has gone through tough economic times. In fact, Sheila through her employment is able to send significant sums of money home to assist her family. She is highly budget conscious and a genuinely caring person. Oh, can I also add as a tiny woman, she loves to eat. In fact, when she comes for lunch or dinner at my place she almost always leaves with leftover for her to enjoy at a later time.
So as we were walking she started to complain about how heavy her purse was. Knowing that she had not gone home after work I suspected that her purse was full of work items. Oh, so not true!
Here is a sample of what she was carrying in her purse:
- a couple cobbs of cooked sweet corn
- diphaphatha (flat cakes)
- chocolate cookies which I had baked for her early in the week
- shower soap
No wonder it was heavy! Needless to say that I abused her all evening by telling her that we need not have paid for supper we could have just eaten it from her purse 🙂 And if we got hungry during the dance battle and dancing afterward, no problem. We had ready access to food.
So women, what do you carry in purse? I know that we all are guilty of carrying bizarre items in there at some time or other. But I am still giggling because I discovered my friend Sheila is always prepared with a meal in her’s! | <urn:uuid:20bc0a7f-8806-4e8c-ac8b-12ae8aff6c24> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://cheryljdalziel.com/2013/04/27/what-is-in-your-purse/ | 2020-09-21T07:19:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.987965 | 584 |
Convened by the Executive Director of the IEA in response to the global slowdown of energy efficiency progress, the Global Commission for Urgent Action on Energy Efficiency was established in June 2019 at the IEA’s Fourth Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency in Dublin, Ireland. The Commission has 23 members and is composed of national leaders, current and former ministers, top business executives and global thought leaders.
With analytical support from the IEA, Global Commission members have examined how progress on energy efficiency can be rapidly accelerated through new and stronger policy action by governments across the globe. It has developed this series of actionable recommendations to support governments in achieving more ambitious action on energy efficiency.
The Global Commission’s work comes at a critical moment in clean energy transitions around the world. Despite energy efficiency’s tremendous potential, the world is struggling to capture its full benefits. Global energy efficiency is not improving quickly enough to offset strong energy demand and CO2 emissions growth. In light of these worrying trends, there is a growing recognition by governments and leaders across the globe that efficiency efforts need to be stepped up.
In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has transformed the energy landscape and the priorities of governments around the world. The Global Commission’s work has been sharply focused on this new reality. Energy efficiency represents a key tool that governments can use to respond to the severe economic, environmental, and social development consequences of the crisis.
1. Prioritise cross-cutting energy efficiency action for its economic, social and environmental benefits
A stronger, all-of-government policy focus will enhance social and economic development, energy security and resilience, decarbonisation, and rapid job creation and economic stimulus
2. Act to unlock efficiency’s job creation potential
Energy efficiency can quickly deliver job growth and can become a long-term, sustainable employment sector
3. Create greater demand for energy efficiency solutions
Efficiency action will be most rapidly scaled up through a focus on increasing demand for efficient products and services and enabling greater levels of market activity
4. Focus on finance in the wider context of scaling up action
Mobilising finance is an essential element of efficiency action, and policies to do so will be most effective if they are part of a wide, coherent approach to driving market scale
5. Leverage digital innovation to enhance system-wide efficiency
Policymakers can take advantage of digital innovation’s potential to enable smart control, better energy management, and wider energy system optimisation
6. The public sector should lead by example
Governments should lead through investment in public sector efficiency and driving innovation and higer standards throughout its reach
7. Engage all parts of society
Implementation of efficiency action can happen at all levels of society, with cities, businesses, and local communities all playing a particularly important role in its success
8. Leverage behavioural insights for more effective policy
People are at the centre of energy efficiency action, and insights from behavioural science can help design smarter policies
9. Strengthen international collaboration
International collaboration and exchange of best practice allow countries to learn from each other and to harmonise approaches and standards where appropriate
10. Raise global energy efficiency ambition
Governments should be significantly more ambitious in both the short- and long-term when setting their efficiency targets, policies and actions.

Another Chelsea Game
Posted on Monday, April 18th, 2016 by Sage Thornbrugh
As it turns out, I will be seeing another Chelsea Football Club game this summer. Ben Deetz, friend and fellow Cobblogger, noticed through an online advertisement that Chelsea are coming to Minneapolis to play A.C. Milan, an Italian professional club. We just bought our tickets today and ended up with some really good seats.
On a bigger scale, I’m very excited for the summer as a whole. Going back to Germany, sister graduating, watching another Chelsea game, going to Rock im Park again: they’re all going to be good fun. It’s just such a shame that I have all of these things concretely planned and we haven’t even finished the academic year yet.
The Chelsea game will be fun though. I watched them play last summer when we were in London, where they played a game against Fiorentina (another professional Italian club). Chelsea lost 1-0 on that night, unfortunately.
I’m not sure what will happen this summer in terms of the final score. After enduring their worst season in a very long time, the club is due for some player and staff restructuring, meaning that there may well be a whole new team identitiy come the summer. Chelsea already have a new manager in place for the coming season, and there will be player movement in and out of the club. Though I don’t know for sure what kind of Chelsea I’ll be watching, it will certainly be a blast to watch my favorite team play again. Especially when it’s on U.S. soil this time. | <urn:uuid:41cbe33b-e2c1-49ff-a168-4c8ec1da73ad> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://cobblog.cord.edu/?p=28250 | 2020-09-21T06:39:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.959716 | 349 |
Articulate Storyline lets you bake additional content into your course via the Resources tab on the player. It's a great way to give learners access to reference materials, job aids, and other helpful information. Another common use for this feature is to give learners a printable copy of the course slides or transcript. (In order for the Resources tab to show in your course, it needs to be enabled in your player. Learn more about that here.)
To add resources to your course, go to the Home tab on the ribbon and click Player:
When the Player Properties window appears, click Resources on the ribbon.
Entering a Description for the Resources Tab
In the Description field, enter the text you want learners to see at the top of the resources list in your published course:
Here's how to add resources to your player:
- Click the Add button (the icon that looks like a blank piece of paper) at the bottom of the Resources window.
- When the Add Resource window appears, enter a Title for the resource. This is the text learners will see when they browse your list of resources.
- Select either URL or File, depending on the kind of resource you're adding, then do the following:
- If you're adding a URL, enter the web address in the field provided. You can also click the Test button to make sure it opens in your browser as you expect. When you publish the course, learners will be able to click the resource name to access the web content. (They'll need to be connected to the Internet for it to work.)
- If you're adding a file, click Browse. Select the file you want to attach and click Save. When you publish, Storyline will bundle a copy of the file along with your course. (It'll be located in the story_content folder of your published output.) Learners will need to have the appropriate software to view the file. For example, if the resource is a Word document, they'll need Microsoft Word to open it.
- Click Save.
Storyline adds the item to your resource list. There will be an icon next to the title to indicate the type of resource.
Editing, Rearranging, and Deleting Resources
Use the buttons at the bottom of the Resources window to edit, delete, and rearrange resources.
Reusing the Same Resources in Other Storyline Projects
When you add resources to a course, they're saved in the project, not in the player. As a result, saving your player and applying it to another Storyline project doesn't carry over your resources.
If you want to reuse the same resources in another project, we recommend saving the original project as a Storyline template. When you're ready to begin a new project, use the template as your starting point by clicking Import from story template on the Storyline launch screen.
Tip: If you add, delete, or change resources in a Storyline template, those changes won't automatically carry over to existing projects based on that template. You'll need to make the same changes in existing projects manually.
Showing or Hiding the Resources Tab on a Slide-by-Slide Basis
By default, built-in player tabs—like Resources—display for all slides in your course. If you want to hide them for certain slides, see Adjusting Slide Properties.
Changing the Name of the Resources Tab
Want to change the title of the Resources tab? Easy! The name comes from your player's text labels. If you need help editing text labels, see this tutorial. | <urn:uuid:0c31a2f3-4e18-4383-96ac-c8d8f691b948> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-2/articles/attaching-resources-in-articulate-storyline-2 | 2020-09-21T07:32:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.886329 | 733 |
Social Convener: Ursula von Rainer
I have been a resident of Don Mills since 1992.
In 1960 I had worked for Argus Corp (E.P.Taylor) an investment holding company, which at the time was involved in the development of the 1st planned community in Don Mills. When I was looking to buy a home I was looking to the Don Mills area. Now retired, I as also interested in joining the DMRI to see what I could do to help the community. | <urn:uuid:0421a891-40c8-4296-8ff4-9d40fe9c6319> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://dmri.ca/dmri-board-2/social-convener-ursula-von-rainer/ | 2020-09-21T06:02:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.992249 | 103 |
We tend to blame the coronavirus pandemic for disrupting our established and well-arranged lives. For forcing us to cut down on our outings, our trips to the mall, and to start doing business as unusual. So, while we are all “nesting” in our homes (lucky we have ones), we are in a way ‘passively’ making this world a better place. We are letting wild animals roam freely in their natural habitats as the humans they usually avoid are now on a lockdown. We are reducing our footprint by undertaking less non-essential trips. We are earning more while doing less by simply focusing on and getting in touch with ourselves, our families and closest friends. We tune in to feelings of concern and develop our sense of empathy every time when we hear the latest news. During these unprecedented in the modern era times of change and transition, we are setting the stages for a world of heightened humility, greater intimacy, and a deeper understanding of our place in the overall ecosystem.
In this blog post I draw a parallel between what is going on in our world today and how teachers can plan their lessons to inspire lifelong learning.
When finishing up one content area and preparing to move onto the next one, we are facing a pathway of possibilities. More often than not, a powerful and memorable transition does have a greater impact than what has passed before and what is to come next.
By finding a connection between the lesson you are finishing and the one you are going to unfold before the students, you add to the momentum and generate excitement about learning. Transitions that inspire reflection and evoke a sense of wonder create hunger for knowledge and feed into the profile of lifelong learning that you are building of each learner.
The bridge is where you need to cross with your students in a way that creates that feeling of not knowing something and wanting to know more, wanting to go forward. It is in the phase of the transition where knowledge evolves from one state to another.
Powerful, memorable and at times, even dramatic, connections between the old lesson and the new, between the old life and the new, let learners see the interconnection of everything around.
With the rapid advancement of technology, communication, the Internet, air travel, etc, our world is becoming increasingly interconnected and interdependent.
Evidenced by the recent world events, from pandemics to supply chains, one small change or event in one place or area of the world can trigger something having a significant impact sometime, somewhere else.
By gracefully and effectively transitioning from one unit or subject to another, educators let students acquire the ability to recognize patterns and make connections among concepts, ideas, activities, events, etc.
Every theme should naturally flow into the next one with something as simple as a question or example.
Teachers lay the foundations and erect the bridge on prior knowledge by generating questions that will in turn generate discussions and form the pathway towards the new knowledge.
While asking students questions to get them thinking and tap into their prior knowledge, continuously ask yourself: What can I do next to build upon this lesson? How can I make it flow?
Amazing Plants Unit
In our previous unit we talked about jobs and about robots taking over some occupations. In line with the idea that everything, living or non-living, has a purpose, or a job, the question “What is the job of a seed?” served as a solid bridge between the two units.
With an astonishing ease, kids remarked “To grow into a plant!” With young second language learners, educators need to be reminded that our role is to assist children in acquiring world knowledge parallel to the second language.
And the readily available Scholastic lesson plans and ideas make this mission a great success.
Day 1: What’s inside a seed?
We kicked off the unit by opening up beans and flower seeds and looking closely inside. At first, kids get one dry and one soaked bean and perform the task of dissecting and comparing both. The activity aims to illustrate what a seed needs to sprout and grow, namely water and warmth. Students draw what they observe inside the soaked bean and label the parts – seed coat, new plant.
Day 2: “Where do we find seeds?”
After looking at some flower seeds the day before, on our second day we investigated where else we can find seeds. As part of our investigation, I brought apples and oranges and challenged students to tell me what they think we would find if we cut the apple and the orange open. Students make guesses and with some guidance come to the conclusion that seeds are found in the flowers and fruits of plants. Students explore the fruits with their senses and after cutting them in half, each team gets half an apple and half an orange. Students are invited to use their magnifying glasses to discover the seeds in the fruit. Last, we draw and paint the apple and orange half, write “apple” and “orange” next to the drawings, and glue some of the seeds on the paintings where they were found.
As an add-on activity that ignited children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for thinking and behaving like scientists, I brought a handful of different types of seeds (lemon, grapefruit, watermelon, apple, avocado – that really sparked hilarious reactions and confusion) and challenged children with the task of naming the fruits and vegetables which have those seeds.
Day 3: Seed Sorting
It is almost considered as a universally accepted truth that we know things by what they are not rather than by what they are. That is why on our third day I prepared plastic bags of seeds, mixed with twigs, and sand and asked students to sort the objects into two groups – seeds and not seeds – after reminding students about the important job of a seed.
Day 4: How do seeds get around?
Listen to the Song and Draw
We did an exciting listening comprehension activity where students listen to the song “Plants Are All Around” from Our World, Amazing Plants Unit 5, Level 6 and draw what they hear.
Later in the unit, we revisit the drawings and try to interpret its content thus expanding our knowledge. Why are there bees and butterflies around the flowers? Do flowers need bees and butterflies? Why do bees and butterflies like flowers? What can we do to take care of the bees and the butterflies attracted by our plants? Thus, we extended the lesson by creating a bee-watering station.
Flower Scavenger Hunt
On the day I had a Professional Development meeting, I asked my students to go to the playground, armed with their magnifying glasses and their bare eyes along with the substitute teacher. There, they had to explore and draw some of the beautiful flowers around our playground.
The next day I went on a mission of locating these flowers.
Hands-on Project: Vertical Garden
Planting a vertical garden represents an unparalleled opportunity to reinforce the concept of inter-dependence. Children get to see for themselves how giving water to the top plant drains downwards and benefits the plant at the bottom. Kids work in pairs and select the kind of flower they want to grow – Poppy, Mini Sunflower, Safflower, Portulaca, Morning Glory, Heavenly Blue Daisy.
The idea of pairing up kids is to encourage ‘natural’ communication between them as they engage cooperatively in the tasks while using the new language.
Kids document the process of planting and growing flowers by keeping a journal of the progress of the flowers’ growth.
Photography and Nature
I have ‘installed’ a mini photography station where I expose beautiful photographs of plants and let the students become fascinated in photography and nature.
Through photography I encourage kids to inspect closely the details of nature, such as the leaves of a sundew plant, the wings of an unexpectedly discovered moth. We capture snapshots of flowers, potted plants, bugs, materials. We label the things and use the hard copy of our photographs as vocabulary picture cards. Photography helps us see the world in greater detail while the interactive nature of technology enables students to assume ownership and control over their learning. It gives us an opportunity to pause, reflect, think about our physical and human world and how they are all connected.
Surprise, Excite and Fill With Wonder
Provoke children’s exploration and inquiry by setting up an environment filled with surprises which stimulate the senses – from gifting kids with exotic plants to treating them to exotic fruits and introducing them to an entirely plant-based lunchbox.
The first meal of the month
In line with this year’s goal of nurturing cooperation, collaboration, and support among the students, we divided the class into 4 teams. Every team comprises of one student who generally needs support or time on finishing the assignments, one student who works quickly and accurately and who feels responsible enough to encourage and keep the struggling child working, one student who works quickly yet makes mistakes, and another student who completes the assignments accurately and thoroughly by putting in a lot of time.
At this stage of their development it is incredibly important for kids to assume responsibility, see the differences in abilities, and take action in the form of understanding and support. By assigning struggling kids working buddies within a team, students learn the importance of cooperation in life and the transformative power of helping.
In the meantime, we tracked down the germination process and recorded the seeds which are fastest to sprout (Poppy seeds), the seeds that took the longest time to sprout (Safflower seeds), and the ones in-between. Then, we named all the kids who work slowly and need support – Safflowers, the kids who work slowly, thoroughly, and diligently – Mini Sunflowers, the kids who complete the work quickly and hastily as Poppy, and the students who are quick and accurate in completing assignments – Morning Glory. The bottom line being: we are all different and grow at different rates, achieve different heights but we all deserve love, care, and attention.
In the context of our monthly theme, we arrived at the idea of splitting into team A, B, C, and D which stand for a type of a plant (flower, vegetable, fruit). Kids conduct their own research in an attempt to find the names of plants that begin with the letter of their team. Once they compile a list of 4 options they start discussing and shortlisting the most suitable names for their team until they select the ‘winner’. That’s how we ended up with team Avocado (among Asparagus, Artichoke, Apple), team Broccoli (among Banana, Bamboo, Blueberry) , team Cocoa (among Carrot, Cucumber, Corn), and team Dragon fruit (among Daisy, Detroit Dark Red Beet, Dandelion).
Within these groups, kids not only brainstorm questions to be asked at the end of every Show & Tell Q&A session, but they also sing and act out songs from our GrapeSEED lessons. In this way, kids learn to take on different roles – such as a team leader, dancer, singer, coordinator – and negotiate responsibilities. The teacher defines the members’ roles and goals and gives children the freedom to choose which role they want to assume, making sure there is a rotation among members. Two very important aspects of team-based work is to keep the same team for a considerably long period of time in order for the members of the group to get a real sense of the dynamics of group work. Second, it is crucial to reflect on how the team functioned and what worked well and what didn’t. All you want is for learners to recognize the power of teamwork and to be able to discern, appreciate and tap into each other’s talents and strengths.
The Comeback of Nature
Children have noticed the impact of people staying home and how, in now quiet and traffic-free communities, nature is making a comeback. The outbreak of the coronavirus disease inspired us to find ways to help the Earth heal and give plants and animals a chance to thrive. In a way Covid-19 helped us transition into a state of heightened appreciation of nature and awaken the desire to harness this momentum. Given this circumstances, we hold regular discussions about how our own actions can impact the planet: How can we use less? Recycle more? Instead of buying new, how can we buy second hand? We are learning that we can all do our part and that we don’t have to be passive in this world. We can be creators and life-changers long before we “grow up”
With each and every consecutive Show and Tell time children become more and more adept at standing up in front of an audience and delivering the content of their mini-lesson clearly and confidently. For this sharing session, we reversed the approach previously taken with one that starts with looking at the items (plants, photos) brought by the appointed kid and then discussing and brainstorming as a teams what to ask the presenter.
Let Their Imagination Soar
One can be remarkably astonished at the altitudes at which children’s imagination can soar. Briefed with the task of coming up with imaginary plants, kids invented the pencil flower which basically comprises of a set of pencils for one to use, the Ferris wheel flower whose petals move around, the burger flower whose buns open up like the leaves of the Venus flytrap and so on and on.

Dominic Thiem said last week that he’d love to quarantine with good friend and fellow Austrian Dennis Novak. In an Instagram Live on Sunday, 2018 Nitto ATP Finals champion Alexander Zverev revealed that he actually is spending this time with another player: Marcelo Melo.
On paper, Melo and Zverev have little in common. The 36-year-old Brazilian turned professional the year after Zverev was born. The 22-year-old is a German singles star, while Melo has long focussed on doubles, in which he has reached the top of the FedEx ATP Doubles Rankings.
But despite Melo being 14 years older than Zverev, they are great friends, joined at the hip whenever they’re competing at the same tournament. Now they are quarantining in Florida due to coronavirus concerns. Zverev told the story — albeit tongue in cheek — of how they became friends.
“It was 2015 Rotterdam. He was in the locker room by himself. He’s always in the locker room by himself. He never had that many friends. I was this new guy, I was 18. Everybody kept warning me [about] him. I was like, ‘Nah, he looks like he’s okay,’” Zverev recalled. “I was like, ‘Hey buddy, you want to have lunch?’ He was so happy, because finally somebody wanted to become friends with him, and I took him on. Every stranded puppy needs a home, so I take care of him.”
As Zverev got a kick out of the story he was telling, Melo pulled out a picture of a young Zverev, perhaps from that lunch.
“Okay everybody saw the picture, put it away!” Zverev quickly said.
The pair took some questions from fans, including one asking whether Zverev or Melo’s doubles partner, Lukasz Kubot, hits more double faults.
“Oof, this is a very difficult question,” Zverev said. “Lately me, nobody makes more than me.”
“Don’t say that, you’re not that bad,” Melo said as they both cracked a laugh.
Zverev also spoke about how Roger Federer was his idol, and Dwyane Wade was his favourite basketball player. But perhaps his most important thoughts came on getting through this current pandemic.
“It’s a very weird and difficult situation but I hope everybody is staying safe, I hope everybody is enjoying themselves at home,” Zverev said. “The more we follow rules now, the quicker we can go back to doing the things we love doing: watching live sports, doing fun activities and stuff like that. The more we follow the rules, the quicker the whole situation will solve itself and that’s why we don’t do anything, we don’t go out, we do nothing. We basically work out and stay at home and that’s it.” | <urn:uuid:ad92da34-e256-46db-a61e-57adcd4d087b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://getsportnews.com/2020/03/31/zverev-on-melo-friendship-every-stranded-puppy-needs-a-home/ | 2020-09-21T05:36:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.984594 | 662 |

Unlike the United States, England
did not begin with private sector
In the very beginning, it was too expensive, too risky, and too important for private entities to take control of electronic media. There was also a much greater feeling for public service in these two countries. Different culture, call it.
In England, the BBC speaks to such a large audience, so that, over the years, it has produced in-house, and with external prodiction houses, for more variety than any of us on this side of the pond can know.
Over the years, as these two countries have diluted their airwaves with private broadcasters, the U.S. has experimented with PBS, and NPR--neither of which really anywhere near what the BBC and CBC were in their respective heydays.
One can only assume that with Thatcherism, and now Blatcherism, the Beeb faces a future not as bright as the past.
As has happenned in Canada, and in the United States since the Ronald Reagan budget cuts, and growing relentlessly since, all my local PBS station does is fundraise. The hopes and dreams of public sector agencies have been thwarted again. | <urn:uuid:2a4bfbce-93f1-4b93-8c85-35b43a74cc5c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://m.everything2.com/title/BBC | 2020-09-21T06:27:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.98074 | 239 |
You would need to know what this nano technology is made of and how it proliferates inside the body. If heavy metals and inflammation is involved MMS could be part of treatment.
From what I understand Morgellons disease (MD) is caused by "synthetic biology" and we're all being infected / re-infected on a daily basis. Apparently MD thrives in an acidic environment and heavy metals are involved in the manifestation of MD symptoms. So reducing heavy metal load and get your PH in order should be part of both treatment and prevention.
Avoiding Glyphosate (weed killer "Round-up"), and which is in the food supply today, is another preventive measure. Because Glyphosate and heavy metals appear to combine so that the poisonous metals are harder to get rid of - From what I gather we are being fed metals from birth as a means of connecting us all to the internet. We are becoming transceivers (receivers and transmitters) for whatever is being broadcasted from these cell towers popping up everywhere. The merging of man and machine (central AI entity). The soul-less or walking dead in a trans-humanistic utopia.
Vaccines, sugar and cellulose are other no-no's.
Much more one can do. Like stop help financing the crap. Quit paying tax. We're all co-responsible for this and all the rest of anti life programs going on. The inquisition was never discontinued.
Well basically ranting about the mess we're in.

I am looking for page where it talks about MMS affecting heavy metals, can you please tell me which page it is on?I dont undertand how MMS deals with heavy metals.Based on what I understand I know very well oxidizing virus kills it I understand but what about metals?CL02
Heavy Metals Oxidized "MMS oxidizes the heavy metals in the body. I believe this because there have been a number of tests where the roots of a person’s hair were checked before and after taking MMS. About two weeks afterwards, the heavy metals were gone, including mercury, lead, and others. Testing the roots of hair is a good indication of the absence or presence of heavy metals. Oxidation of the heavy metals is not the same as chelating, but the results are the same. When a heavy metal is oxidized, it is neutralized and simply washes out of the body."

After six years of legal wrangling, a court in Jerusalem has ruled former Melbourne principal Malka Leifer can be extradited to Australia to face 74 charges of sexual abuse.
A Sydney man charged with murdering five members of his extended family will face a fourth trial next year after the jury in his third trial failed to reach a verdict.
Robert Xie stood trial in the New South Wales Supreme Court for nearly 10 months, accused of using a hammer to bludgeon the victims to death.
The bodies of newsagent Min Lin and his wife Lily Lin, their children Henry, 12, and Terry, 9, and Mrs Lin's sister Irene were found inside their North Epping home in July 2009.
Mr Lin was Xie's brother-in-law.
Xie was interviewed extensively by police not long after the deaths, and again the following year.
He was arrested and charged with the murders in May 2011.
Xie first stood trial in May 2014, but the jury was discharged for legal reasons.
A new jury in a second trial was also discharged, this time due to the ill health of the trial judge, Peter Johnson.
The current trial began in February, before Justice Elizabeth Fullerton.
Jurors retired to consider their verdict on November 12 and were soon sequestered at a Sydney hotel to help them focus on their task.
They first indicated they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict on Friday.
On Monday, they restated that position and were granted permission to hand down verdicts of guilty or not guilty, by a majority of 11 to one.
"The circumstances have arisen in this trial in which I may take a majority verdict," said Justice Fullerton at the time.
"No other number but a majority of 11 will suffice," she said.
However, today the jury again stated it could not reach a verdict.
It prompted Justice Fullerton to discharge the jury.
"I am absolutely confident you have each given your all to what has been a lengthy trial," Justice Fullerton said to the jury.
"The law should not be something you are fearful of.
"You know what your job was ... that you could not return verdicts is not something that you should take as a personal failure or any of you as a collective failure."
Justice Fullerton said the trial was an example of the "criminal justice system in operation" and said to the jury "on a personal note, I thank you".
Xie appeared composed when the foreman of the jury revealed it could not reach a verdict.
He dabbed his eyes with tissues on several occasions but did not appear to cry as he listened intently.
His wife Kathy Lin cried in court and was comforted by a Salvation Army chaplain.
Xie was on the verge of tears as he collected his files and was taken into custody.
Outside court, Ms Lin said "my husband is innocent."
"We never ever give up," she said.
Xie now faces another trial next year. | <urn:uuid:220f74ac-1cd3-4a26-945d-ae90300d2f5c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2015-12-01/jury-hung-in-robert-xie-trial/6989248 | 2020-09-21T07:42:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.986193 | 619 |
Broward County recorded 32,595 auto accidents in 2013. While this accounts for a small percentage of the state’s accidents, Broward County still has one of the highest auto accident rates in Florida.

If you or a loved one has suffered serious injuries in an accident, attorney in Fort Lauderdale, Hyram Montero has the experience and track record you need to file a successful personal injury claim.

To learn if you have a viable claim, call 954-767-6500 to request a free initial consultation. Depending on the details of your accident, retaining our firm could mean the difference between receiving a small settlement from an insurance company or a larger amount from a lawsuit.
Florida’s Personal Injury Protection and Vehicle Damage Insurance Laws
Florida requires all motor vehicle owners to carry at least $10,000 in personal injury protection insurance. This insurance is intended to pay for the medical costs and lost pay of injured drivers and passengers. Only nine other states require personal injury protection insurance. This type of policy is also known as no-fault driver’s insurance.
Florida’s no-fault insurance system essentially means that you turn to your insurance provider for compensation when an injury occurs. In some cases, you may pursue compensation from the other driver’s insurance company, but Florida law only allows injured parties to pursue compensation outside of the no-fault system when the accident causes:
- Permanent physical injuries;
- Significant scarring or disfigurement; or
- Permanent loss of important bodily functions.
Even though Florida has a no-fault insurance system for physical injuries, drivers can file at-fault claims to cover the cost of replacing or repairing damaged vehicles and other property.
While no-fault insurance can provide quick payments to injured people, not everyone obeys the law. In fact, Florida has one of the highest numbers of uninsured drivers in the country. The latest projection estimates that 28 percent of Florida drivers do not have insurance. The national average is about 16 percent.
The limitations of no-fault insurance can make it difficult for people to receive the compensation they need to recover from physical injury. If, for instance, the cost of medical treatments exceeds the amount covered by insurance, an injured person may need to pay out of pocket.
Statute of Limitations for Auto Accident Lawsuits in Florida
If you want to pursue financial compensation for medical bills or vehicle damage, you must file your lawsuit within four years of the accident. This statute of limitations applies to all accidents, even when they involve scooters, motorcycles, bikes or similar vehicles. Failing to file your suit within four years of the accident’s date means the judge will almost certainly dismiss the case without awarding any compensation.
The statute of limitations shortens for lawsuits involving wrongful death. If you want to pursue financial compensation for an accident that resulted in someone’s death, then you must file your suit within two years of that person’s death. Notice that Florida law does not require you to file the suit within two years of the accident. When a death occurs, the clock does not start counting until the injured person dies.
Getting Legal Help After an Auto Accident
Florida’s insurance system can be confusing. You don’t have to go through the claims process alone.

Dr. Archimandrite Nikodim (Bogosavlvjevic)
He that is unjust let him be unjust still; and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still…Behold, I come soon. (Rev. 22:11, 12)
The significance and consequences of the meeting between Patriarch Kirill and Pope Francis, in terms of its spiritual content and scale, are historical, ecumenical, and apocalyptic-eschatological. “In our previous text about this meeting , we did not elaborate/expand on the obvious fact: that it (the meeting) could not have happened without prior consultation between patriarch Kiril with the Russian president Vladimir Putin and their subsequent agreement.” Most likely, until then, it could not take place without the consent of the President, and it is quite clear that the initiator of this event derived from the President, who wanted it to be in front of the international community to gain support from two major religious leaders for the involvement of the Russian Army in Syria. This is confirmed by the news published on the eve of the meeting: “In an attempt to defend Christians in the Middle East and other parts of world where they are persecuted, Pope Francis wants to ask for the help of Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to Pope Francis, Putin is ‘the only one that can unite the Catholic Church in defense of the Christians in the East.’ It is important to join efforts with Russia in order to preserve Christianity in all parts of the world where it is threatened,” said Pope Francis, in the reports of Zurnal d’Dmianche. “For doctors in the social sciences from the Institute of Political Studies, Zoran Milosevic, there is no doubt. To create the conditions that that meeting can take place required the personal involvement of Russian President Vladimir Putin.” After the meeting, in this respect, Mr. Vladimir Vasiliki does not hide the disappointment: “In the present case, I consider this meeting as our defeat. God knows the causes for which His Holiness Patriarch Kirill took this trip. Maybe it was in order not to be left out. But, in any case, this meeting appears in many of its items to be unsatisfactory.”
Based on the foregoing, it can be indirectly deducted that both President Vladimir Putin and Patriarch Kirill had great hopes laid up for the “Joint Declaration” of the Patriarch and the Pope, with the aim of supporting the policy of Russia’s military involvement in Syria and the Middle East, under the guise of concern for the killing and persecution of Christians.
However, I. Druze believes that Russia and the Moscow Patriarchate have created a lot of damage by this meeting. Starting from the fact that after the Second Vatican Council, the Papacy “has become a global political power of a liberal orientation,” which he has in a detailed analysis show that, that many are hoping for support and help from the Pope, especially after the last meetings with V. Jeruzelski, M. Gorbachev, and L. Kuchman, as well as the role of the Vatican in recent events in Ukraine. To this we must add the fact that the Kiev Majdan began just a week after the visit of V. Putin to the Pope Francis in the Vatican, 25. 11. 2013 .
Finally, speaking about the situation in Russia, I Druze states what the conseque3nces will be for it, caused by the meeting of the Pope and the Patriarch and upcoming ‘Great Synod’ in Crete:
“To direct the security interests of Russia in the near future, these meetings will mean:
-A great explosion of ecumenical contact with clergy of different religions, i.e., in practice and increase in direct and indirect recruitment of citizens by the Russian Federation Foreign Services, the facilitation for Russia’s ‘quarry’, across the face and likeness of things Ukrainian, which means, as mentioned above, a liberal and ecumenical character;
-A shift in ideological issue positions, which will have a major impact on citizens of the Russian Federation. Because the Moscow Patriarch begins to recognize other religions, entering into communion with them, it shall be, in effect, the ending of a unique Russian civilization from Russian history. Because in many ways, Russia’s history has consisted in the fact that our ancestors defended the purity of Orthodoxy. If we accept the thesis that we have the Catholic Church as a ‘Sister’, then, for example, the exploits of St. Alexander Nevsky lose meaning. Likewise the martyrdom of St. Patriarch Hermogen, and the activities of Minnia and Pozharsky. This would mean that is should have been completely normal to submit to Catholic conquerors, since we are ‘brothers’;
-Liberal ecumenism goes against the better examples of Russian culture, since Russian culture protected Orthodox values against Western expansion; which expansion spoils the quality of education and the motivation of the citizens of Russia to protect the Motherland.
-As already noted, the Vatican has recently become a catalyst for an increase in immorality and unethical behaviour, which it teaches its flock by means of gradual steps and manipulative statements. I analyzed many texts of Catholic activists in Russia about morality–they are just like that, and often carry hidden meaning, and are in essence Russophobic and anti-state in character. Ecumenical contacts by the ROC will boost this effect in multiple streams.’
In other words, we conclude, Russia will pass away, as has happened to Poland, the USSR, and Ukraine.
With regard to the ‘historic meeting’, O. Cetverikova makes an identical warning: “This meting is seen by the people of the nation as an act of betrayal. This radically changes the situation. This will lead to confusion in our Church, and since the Church is the spiritual foundation of our nation’s security, this will lead to very serious consequences in the system of our national and state security,” “This meeting is not only symbolic, but also mystical.”
Similar thinking is expressed by V. Dimitrijevic: “This meeting is a great proof of how ecumenism eats away at Orthodox self-awareness, and the leaders are just too often made into world politicians in robes. Meeting with the arch-heretic of Rome is justified because of the situation in the Middle East, which is really a burning place, and which really needs help. However, will we find ‘help’ from the Pope? Whenever it comes from him, it is in actuality a curse; after his visit to the Church of the Holy Nativity in Bethlehem was there not a fire? Did one ever see Orthodox hierarchs joining with heretics to solve political issues, which, after all, are not something that can be solved by religious leaders, but are of the here and now; or to solve the banking crisis, which is a preparation for the arrival of the Antichrist?”
Of course, the “Declaration” by the Patriarch and the Pope, in which they call “for immediate action to help Christians in Iraq and Syria,” and “that Europe retains its faith in its Christian roots,” remain a dead letter. What’s more; there will be just the opposite: flames of war, and with them the exodus of Christians and Muslims in the Middle East will further expand, and Europe will increasingly sink into its anti-Christian darkness, and, in particulary, into Anti-Orthodox – Anti-Russian Hatred.
All this is understandable. There is a spiritual legacy. “Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.” (Jer. 17:5) Unfortunately, but also happily, the ‘Orthodox’ masks from the faces of the President and the Patriarch have fallen off. So far, the symphony of the Russian Church and the Russian state made a good go upwards; she is [i.e. the Russian state], regardless of the sanctions and the economic crises been led to the restoration of dignity and pride for the Russians, and to consolidate and strengthen them in the formation of a strong, anti-globalization single bloc in the world. Since the meeting of the Pope and the Patriarch, the movement of this curve went in the opposite direction. Patriarch Kirill’s ecumenism proved to be the Trojan horse for V. Putin’s anti-globalism, and their shared political and humanistic hope and faith in mankind; by their arrogance they have long since equated the two ideas, this being inspired by their master, Satan, as a Trojan horse to bring into Orthodox Russia.
“The point of no return has been crossed. Before our eyes we behold the mystical disaster that will have irreversible consequences in this world, and it will undoubtedly touch upon each of us. Further inaction of Orthodox people in this matter is a crime of complicity in the heresy of Judeo-Papism, and generally in the God-fighting heresies of ecumenism and globalism.”
“So ended the ‘historic’ meeting of the Pope and the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia. The feeling is that the masks have fallen recently…now we can see a new, and perhaps last page in world history…”
Notwithstanding the assurance of Pope Francis, that in “the dialogue was felt the presence of the Holy Spirit,” , in Havana, at the airport, God was not present. And without God, without the Holy Spirit, nothing can get out of time and into eternity; this meeting was ‘historic’ primarily because it remained in the shackles of time and death. Also, after this meeting, because of reliance on a man, who, according to the warning of the Lord, brings a curse, the covering of God’s blessing was removed from Russia. The hope laid by President V. Putin and Pat. Cyril which they have laid in man, the man who lights the way for the religion of Antichrist and his prophet and fore-runner, has cause the overflowing of the cup of God’s wrath, which is first filled, overflows, and then spills because of these sins; now has begun a decline, and an empty public repentance. Now, however, follows the fire and the storm, followed by the starvation and disintegration of Russia.
But praises be to God, for according to the prophecies, Russia’s resurrection from the ashes will bring Holy Rus.

Fallen Wall Street honcho Tommy Belesis has been ordered to show his face in court on Monday and testify about his wealth — or be arrested.
The founder of the now-defunct brokerage firm John Thomas Financial, who was tapped by movie director Oliver Stone for a cameo in “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,” got the arrest threat after he failed to show up in Manhattan federal court last week.
His Nov. 7 no-show resulted in a contempt order by federal Judge Katherine Forrest, who said she will give Belesis and his wife, Tabitha Belesis, one last chance to appear before she sends US Marshals to collect them.
Belesis’ lawyer, Michael Schwartz, declined to comment on the matter, which is tied to money Belesis owes a former client who was awarded more than $1 million for improper trading in his account.
In October, Eubulus J. Kerr III, a spinal doctor in Shreveport, La., accused the Tribeca resident of lying about being broke in order to avoid paying the $750,000 balance owed on the award.
Belesis testified in December that he was so poor that he had to borrow money for a cab to his Midtown Manhattan deposition, Kerr’s lawyers said.
But a few months later, Belesis filled out a mortgage application claiming $144 million in assets, including $150,000 in bank accounts, $150,000 in furniture and art, $485,500 in securities, and more than $11 million in real estate, Kerr’s lawyers told the judge based on subpoenaed documents.
Forrest wants the former co-chairman of the New York State Republican Finance Committee to testify as to which story is true: Is he rich or is he broke?
“It’s really a no-win situation,” Kerr’s lawyer, Barry Lax, said. “If he does show up, then he has to explain who he lied to.”
If the deposition testimony is true, Belesis could be accused of mortgage fraud, Lax said.
Lax has asked the judge to order Belesis’ 60 Beach St. property to be turned over for sale and for the proceeds to go toward paying Kerr first. | <urn:uuid:423c0316-2033-4b1f-b08c-a0cd6df698a3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://nypost.com/2016/11/14/ex-wall-street-honcho-ordered-to-testify-about-wealth/ | 2020-09-21T07:21:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.975326 | 471 |

The first eight weeks of the payroll loan can possibly be turned into a grant so that it can be free money for you.

Arch to the kitchen is an interesting decor element, able to decorate any room. Arched openings not only look attractive, but also allow you to visually increase the area of housing. They also perfectly zoned space. Why do some people think that installing arches instead of doors is the ideal solution when upgrading the kitchen, and others will never agree to such changes?
Advantages of kitchen arches
To the pluses of the arch between the kitchen and the living room are:
- Visual increase in space. A small room visually seems bigger than exactly the same, but with a door. This is due to the erasure of the border between the kitchen and the hall.
- Kitchens with an arch look original. Banal interior with doors do not surprise anyone, but with the help of an arch you can quickly and inexpensively add an apartment of exclusivity. The design will emphasize the exquisite taste of the owners of the house.
- Arched constructions allow you to move freely and quickly, you do not need to close and open the door.
- Expanding visibility, thanks to which, for example, moms will be able to observe what their child is doing, without departing from the plate.
- Saving. The arch between the kitchen and the living room is cheaper than buying a door and accessories.
- The opportunity to show your imagination, to realize any ideas, creating a cozy atmosphere. The variety of forms of arches allows using them in interiors of any style.
Disadvantages of arches
Negative moments that owners of arches at home may encounter:
- The smell of cooked food. Many do not rush to get rid of the door in the kitchen, for fear that the flavor of the food will spread throughout the house. This minus is quite easy to fix: you need to install a powerful hood.
- Distribution of noise. The landlady can no longer cook while the household is resting, because the sounds of thundering dishes will be heard outside the kitchen. Hanging out with guests in this room, most likely, will also prevent relatives from going about their business or sleeping.
- Owners of one-room apartments will lose the opportunity to use the kitchen space as an office for work, where you can work in silence without being distracted by the conversations of other family members.
- The kitchen is always in sight. In order not to be embarrassed during the unexpected arrival of friends because of unwashed dishes, it will be necessary to keep the kitchen clean at all times.
Types of arches in the shape of the arch
Let's consider the most actual types of arches.
The most common option, which is also called Roman. This is due to the fact that it was the Romans in the construction began in the place of the door to make arches semi-circular shape. The design of arches from plasterboard of this form is suitable for any interior. Particularly well, the designs of the correct semicircular shape look in rooms with high ceilings. The arch between the kitchen and the hallway in modern apartments with a small doorway is often performed in a classical form, since this type of construction is suitable for bottlenecks.
A very simple form, in which the arch is formed in the form of a rectangle. Ideal for small apartments with low ceilings. Thus, without much effort, you can combine the kitchen with the hallway, changing the door to an empty opening. Arched constructions of the portal form look strictly and restrained.
The arched opening instead of the modern-style door is a "hybrid" between the classic version and the portal. Strict straight walls are combined with a round arc arch. This option is ideal for low ceilings and large spaces. For the kitchen, the modernist style is suitable if you connect it to a dining room or living room.
Interest in the lives of the inhabitants of the east resulted in the use of special arched constructions. This form is complicated, numerous sharp angles and convex surfaces. Used exclusively for creating interiors in the Mediterranean style.
Easy to implement form. The hosts prefer the kitchen design with the ellipse-shaped arch, because it is versatile and has an exquisite look. This option is suitable for different styles of interior, it does not reduce the useful space, because of what is often used to separate the kitchen. Often combined with the columns.
More often people choose arches of simple forms, but designers advise to combine habitual forms and create something unique.
Making an opening in a room can be a real creative process. Modern technologies will make it possible to implement any creative solutions, be it an asymmetrical arch or a traditional form with extravagant decorative elements.
Materials for the manufacture of arches
Let's talk about the materials common to making arches.
The cheapest option. However, despite the cheapness and simplicity of fastening the products, plastic does not have many fans. This is due to the fact that PVC is usually available for sale ready-made structures. They are all standard in size and shape, which does not give the opportunity to pose. In addition, this material is not very suitable for creating a cozy atmosphere. Although if you set out to do something modern and non-standard, then with a successful choice of colors, the result will be very acceptable. It also fits well with the built-in lighting.
From gypsum cardboard in the kitchen it is possible to make a design of both non-standard format and classical form. GKL needs to be fixed to a metal frame, which has been preliminarily given the desired shape. Then the surface is shpaklyuyut and painted. Thus, arches from plasterboard to the kitchen can acquire not only the necessary shape, but also a shade of color. Instead of paint, the surface can be decorated with wallpaper.
Wood is a natural material with a pleasant scent, which is often used for making kitchen arches. On sale there is a large selection of ready-made wooden arches, but it will not be difficult and self-constructing.
The advantage of the tree for finishing the arch is that it does not need additional decoration. It is enough to treat the product with lacquer.
A tree is often used for the construction of plasterboard, because it is quite expensive to make an arch entirely of wood. The disadvantages include sensitivity to scratches.
Decoration of an arch
Arches of plasterboard need decoration. Finishing works should start with putty. After the surface is leveled in this way, you can choose how to decorate the arch in the kitchen. There are several ways to do this:
- glued with the same wallpaper as the walls are glued (or choose a contrasting color and pattern);
- to paint;
- to paint;
- to finish with artificial or natural stone;
- lay out the tiles;
- with the help of glass inserts make a stained-glass window;
- lay out the patterns in mosaic;
- apply decorative plaster;
- use curtains.
Kitchen arches look very attractive. Therefore, people think about whether it is worthwhile to install them, despite some shortcomings. If you want to quickly and inexpensively transform the appearance of your home, the construction of the arch instead of the door will be an excellent solution. | <urn:uuid:e48ce45d-580c-4585-b2df-64ee6d2e0c42> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://sabemosdigital.com/arches/arch-instead-of-the-door-to-the-kitchen-noticeable/ | 2020-09-21T06:38:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.948732 | 1,505 |

When Raymond and I would attend Cushman events in the decade of the 1990s, we would see this sweet girl with her grandparents.
This is Jennifer Wyatt. Her grandparents, Ben and Gene Sargent, were faithful to include grandchildren in their trips to Cushman meetings.
She and Tyler Johnson married and began their own family. And their own Cushman traditions.
Tyler has restored a Silver Eagle with Ben’s guidance and help. Here is Wyatt showing off his joy of knowing this scooter will provide him and his dad more fun in the coming days and years.
Jennifer has been involved with the Cushman friends all these years. Her college degree in teaching will give her more skills that will make her a Newsletter Editor extroidaire. Jennifer will need your help: to make her a Great Editor, you are asked to send information, calendar events, and news. Use the email@example.com email.
From James Press, President:
Our search for a new Texas Cushman Club Editor is over! The officers and board members have been recruiting for a while now, and I want to announce that Jennifer Johnson has graciously accepted the position as club Editor. I think we can say Jennifer has been a part of the Texas Cushman Club since she was an infant. With Ben and Eugenia Sargent as her grandparents, we can safely say she has been indoctrinated quite well regarding Cushmans and the Texas Cushman Club. She and her husband Tyler are regulars at our state meets and many of our local meets, so she will be an asset to our club. Please join me in thanking Jennifer for her willingness to serve our club in this capacity.
Jimmy Hubbard lives in Garland and wants to have fellow Cushman riders join him in some rides in March or April or May or whenever you want to ride. He has been riding the local roads and has discovered several FM roads with little traffic. He likes to ride 70-75 miles and has stops figured out.
I have searched the membership list and found members in Terrell, Mesquite, Allen, Plano, and Dallas. As with most of Texas, this does not mean they are close in location.
If you want to connect with Jimmy, please call him at 972-682-3985.
The Concho Area club had a great turn-out of 16 people for their New Year’s luncheon. At 40 degrees, there were no riders. This was a time of visiting and enjoying our friends.
There will be a picture added to this WHEN I can get the picture from my new camera to the computer. And now here they are!!!

While an open floor plan will most likely expand your kitchen’s footprint, it’s necessary to seek the advice of knowledgeable: A great designer can create a luxurious kitchen in any shape or size that will finest suit the lifestyle of the homeowner. The texture of luxury is provided by many design elements: the inviting lighting, the glistening appliances, as well as warm and cold textures breaking up the room,†says Woodhouse. What small kitchens lack in sq. footage they typically make up for in thoughtful details and functionality — so do not assume a luxury kitchen isn’t for you just because yours is modestly sized. Many home equipment will be customized to slot in smaller spaces, and cutting again on the variety of vary burners or opting for smaller variations of conventional home equipment might help liberate space. With less floor space to cowl, upgrading to higher-end marble countertops or including an expensive tile backsplash becomes more feasible too. | <urn:uuid:765d624b-a182-4799-9a89-1c0674dccbb7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://wodlounge.com/issues-to-consider-when-shopping-for-a-dorm-fridge.html | 2020-09-21T06:42:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.954755 | 544 |
Top 5 Foods For Healthy Teeth
We’ve been told many times that brushing your teeth and flossing daily are critical for having healthy teeth, but did you know that the foods you eat play a role?
Not only does eating carrots give your mouth a good workout, they also pack a crunch that is full of fiber, and vitamin A. Carrots are great because they act as nature’s toothbrush and can help get in between all the crevices of your teeth, keeping your mouth as clean as possible in between brushings. Add like carrots into your daily routine to get rid of food particles that may linger.
Not only are leafy greens good for your overall health, they are good your teeth too. Leafy greens such as kale and spinach are high in vitamins and minerals, while being low in calories. They’re a great source of calcium, which helps to build tooth enamel. Try adding some kale or spinach in your favorite salad or even to a smoothie.
Like apples and carrots, celery is another food that can give your teeth a good cleaning by scraping away bacteria and food particles. It’s packed with water, and vitamins making it a perfect addition to your routine. Try pairing it with sliced apples to make the perfect crunch duo.
Like carrots, Apples pack a crunch and are full of fiber and water. The great part of eating apples is that it can give your teeth a good cleaning and help aid in saliva production, thus cleaning bacteria and food particles. Just like celery and carrots, it’s a great workout for your teeth.

Our Church Building
The Church of All Saints, Elland, owes its origin to the vision, courage and energy of Canon Ernest Winter. Not long after beginning his ministry as Rector of Elland in 1893, he encouraged the Parish to take on a work of Church Extension, aiming to provide much needed accommodation, and to serve planned developments on the Savile Estates. Fellowes Prynne was asked to produce a design, after Lord Savile gifted the site. Winter, who had worked in an architectural practice himself, considered Fellowes Prynne’s design a “masterpiece of architectural skill”. An impression of the Exterior was printed in The Builder for August 14th, 1897, before the foundation stone was laid in 1900. Chancel, transepts, lower vestries and three bays of the unfinished nave were completed for the Dedication on November 4th, 1903, at which the architect himself led the Procession, carrying the cross he designed and gave to the church. (A further article followed in The Builder of November 14th, 1903.)
Due to difficulties in fund-raising for such an enormous project, the church was not Consecrated until April 30th 1912, when the project was declared ‘debt free’. Canon Winter immediately set about raising funds to complete the work, with the addition of two further bays in the nave, a baptistry at the west end, and a new entrance leading into a cloister and adjacent Hall. The original plan had provided for an imaginative entrance at the west end, leading directly and dramatically into the baptistry. The War delayed work, to Fellowes Prynne’s further designs, until 1917, shortly after Canon Winter’s death. The architect also added a bronze corpus to his original processional cross. His last contribution to the church was the reredos and high altar, designed shortly before his own death in 1927, but not erected until 1928, when it was regarded as a tribute to both men. Their creative friendship clearly contributed to the vision and design of All Saints; Canon Winter described his colleague as “as good a churchman as he is an architect”.
(References from Fitly Framed Together, published by All Saints Elland, 1947, and other information in the Parish records.)
It is astonishing to think that all this went into building a daughter Church, testimony to the faith and vision of our founders. When the church was built it was in open fields, before the surrounding estates were completed. An unusual building for this part of Yorkshire, it has long been seen as ‘a citadel of the faith’.
A daughter church of St Mary’s, Elland, All Saints became a Parish Church in 1983 with the formation of the Elland Team Ministry. By the early 1990s, there was great concern about the condition of the church roof, and especially the distinctive copper fleche, topped with a figure of an Archangel, due to water ingress. The then Parochial Church Council, on architect’s advice, made the reluctant decision to remove the fleche, a decision that was challenged in a Consistory Court Hearing.
A part funded English Heritage project has seen the roof completely retiled, and the fleche saved, re-coppered and made watertight. This project, together with other restoration work, was completed in time for the celebration of the building’s Centenary in November 2003, at which the Archbishop of York dedicated a new altar and lectern for the re-ordered nave sanctuary.
A high quality refurbishment of the rooms at the lower end of the Church Building saw the opening of the Canon Winter Centre in 2011, providing a superb venue for both Church and Community use, which is also available for hire; contact us for more information, or see under Canon Winter Centre on this site.
Further pastoral reorganisation in 2012 created a new Parish of All Saints, held in plurality with St Mary the Virgin, by the Rector of Elland.

Pan Am Makes a Comeback with an ABC Show: Did It Ever Go Away?
The Hollywood Reporter says that Christina Ricci is in talks to play a lead role and Australian actress Margot Robbie will make her American debut as one of the sexy stewardesses. Ganis's major producing credit to date was the 2006 family film Akeelah and the Bee. Thomas Schlamme, a veteran of series including The West Wing and Sports Night, is reportedly attached as a director.
A revival of that high-skirted, pastel-hued Pan Am era has been percolating in entertainment for years. One of the bigger hits on Broadway and London in recent seasons was a revival of the 1965 play Boeing Boeing, a sexual farce set in the free-spirited world of the Jet Age flight attendant.
Then there's Pam Ann (pictured), the ribald air hostess played by Australian comic Caroline Reid. In addition to appearing as video in-flight entertainment on British Airways and Qantas, Pam Ann has brought her act, complete with logo and costumes ripped directly from the vanished airline's livery, around the world, including runs in New York and London's West End.
Pan Am the airline began life as a single route in 1927 between Key West, Florida, and Havana, Cuba. Its original offices still stands, and attracts aviation nerds with a case of memorabilia. It's now Kelly's, a bar originally owned by Top Gun actress Kelly McGillis.
In truth, the Jet Age of the 1960s was the second Golden Age for Pan Am. In the 1930s, the airline was renowned for its use of "Clipper" propeller aircraft to bring travlers around the world. In the 1940s, it was the first commercial airline to offer a route that went around the planet.
By the 1970s, Pan Am was one of the most widespread airlines in the world. There was even a New York City skyscraper above Park Avenue emblazoned with its logo. In 1991, the airline declared bankruptcy. Its Manhattan skyscraper was rebranded for MetLife insurance, and its old Worldport terminal was handed over to Delta Air Lines.
After it was grounded for good, its name was parceled off to a New Hampshire company that licenses its name for official products and runs assorted transportation companies, but doesn't fly commercially under the esteemed name. Affection for the Pan Am brand, though, still sustains fan sites including EverythingPanAm.com and PanAmAir.org.
In addition to some mod '60s fashion and design, the series, if it's picked up, should be fodder for plenty of political and sexual story lines. In pre-feminism America, women rarely chose to be jet-setters. "It was in a time when very few people in the U.S. even had passports," Ganis told CNN. "So suddenly, it was just this exciting adventure, and I really wanted it."
ABC will decide whether to pick up the series for a full run after the pilot, produced by Sony Pictures TV, is finished.

Old, poor and black? The city of Prospect doesn't want you | Joseph Gerth
Here's hoping the Louisville Metro Council and my neighbors in Prospect are happy with themselves.
They’ve succeeded in keeping old, poor, disabled and (they believe) black people out of the eastern Louisville city. Hurrah.
I'm talking, of course, about their opposition to the Prospect Cove apartment complex that the good folks in Prospect decided they didn't want right across the street from the Kroger, where they go to buy groceries — where I go to buy groceries.
A Louisville company had proposed building 198 apartments for low-income seniors on nearly 10 acres. Under rules of the complex, the apartments would have been leased only to families in which at least one person was over age 55.
Rent for a one-bedroom unit would have been about $930, and a two-bedroom unit would have been about $1,000.
Additionally, no one under 18 would have been allowed to live there.
The fact that the apartments were designed for people below a certain income threshold screamed "black people" to some of the folks who opposed it, and so the city of Prospect spent some $200,000 fighting the development.
Take a listen to what people had to say during a hearing on the development plan:
"I work on the west side of Louisville every day," said one woman. "I know what comes with that and it's the same population that you're talking about moving in. If you were talking about moving a senior citizen (someone like) Sam Swope, that would be a completely different ballgame."
(Editor's note: Sam Swope is a very white, very rich car dealer. And he's been dead since 2014.)
"I think if you gave them a choice to build something in the West End and downtown, they would select that area before moving way out to Prospect," said a man.
(Or, in other words, why don't you keep "them" where they belong.)
There were a lot of "they's" and "thems" thrown around at that meeting. The speakers were just a step or two away from saying "those people."
Look, no one can say with certainty what the racial makeup in the apartment complex was going to be, but the opposition here was clearly an effort to keep Louisville segregated — and Louisville is segregated.
A 2014 report by the Metro Human Relations Commission found that 45 percent of people in Louisville live in "extreme segregation."
With racial segregation comes economic segregation leading to a large percentage of Louisville's poor — both white and black — clustered west of Ninth Street.
Such large pockets of racial and economic segregation increase crime and make it difficult for those who are trapped in low-skill, low-paying jobs and low-performing schools to ever escape.
(And the racial and economic segregation is why efforts to require "neighborhood schools" is such a bad idea. Neighborhood schools would be segregated because that's how our housing patterns have developed.)
More from columnist Joseph Gerth:
Of course, when the Louisville Metro Council voted to overturn the planning commission's decision to rezone the property — thereby killing the project (at least for now) — they say they were not doing it for such a crass reason as continuing segregation.
The ordinance rejecting the rezoning cites everything from the height of the apartments (four stories) to a lack of bus routes in the vicinity to health hazards from being near the Kroger gas station.
They're all bogus.
There was no concern several years ago when a four-story condominium project was approved for the property (it was never built).
TARC creates new bus routes as needed, but not before new construction that would necessitate new routes is complete.
And there was no evidence presented to suggest proximity to the gas pumps was a problem.
But what makes this all really odd is that 16th District Council member Scott Reed, a founder of the Louisville Tea Party, led the charge.
See, the tea party has a long history of being in favor of property rights.
It opposes things like smoking bans and other "nanny-state" ideas that it says infringes on people's rights to use their property as they wish.
Back in March, the Louisville Tea Party opposed any local tree-cutting ordinance because it feared it would infringe upon individual property rights.
But apparently, those rights don't extend to businesses that want to put up apartments where old, poor, disabled and (likely some) black people are going to live.
It's shameful that 14 members of the Metro Council — including Barbara Shanklin and David James, who are African-Americans — sided with segregation. Maybe this was the price James is paying to get Republican support when he runs for Metro Council president.
The developer of the planned apartment complex has asked Jefferson Circuit Court to reverse the Metro Council. Surely the courts will see through this racially charged outrage.
If not, Prospect can set its sights on finding some immigrants, Jews, gays and Native Americans to turn away.

Convicted of Sexual Solicitation of a Minor?
With the rapidly increasing sexual awareness of younger generations, sometimes it becomes difficult to pinpoint the age of a sexual partner. Sexual acts that are well accepted between adults become severe crimes once a minor is involved. With a charge that marks you with the sexual solicitation of a minor, you may find yourself serving years in a state prison with stringent orders regarding questions of parole or the opportunity of eventual release.
What does a conviction mean for you?
The solicitation of a minor refers to a severe sex crime, as regarded by the state of Massachusetts. As recently as 2011, was passed through the state court system defining the full extent of the issue. If one forces any kind of sexual intercourse, this includes both anal and oral acts, on a child then they can be charged with a punishment of no less than 30 years. This punishment is not eligible to be discharged or shortened in any way under any circumstances.
Once a sex crime includes a minor, the already harsh punishments regarding the crime become excessively heightened. The problem is associated with the huge numbers of domestic violence seen within the state of Massachusetts. A sex crime is an emotional crime. Once you bring emotion into the courthouse, it becomes difficult to combat without the professional logic of a qualified Boston criminal defense attorney. With your future hanging in the balance, you don’t want to take any chances.

Hydromorphone was synthesized in Germany in 1924 and was mass marketed shortly thereafter under the trade name Dilaudid®. As a member of the opioid class, hydromorphone is a potent semi-synthetic analgesic (pain reliever) and antitussive (cough suppressant) that has been compared to hydrocodone for the similarities between them, and morphine, its derivative. It is available in the form of tablets, rectal suppositories, oral solutions and injectable formulas under several trade names including Hydal®, Sophidone®, Hydrostat®, Laudicon® and Palladone®.
Hydromorphone is used medically as an alternative to morphine for pain relief and can be prescribed for relief of dry bronchial irritation following influenza, fungus inhalation. 3-4 times stronger than morphine, hydromorphone is considered one of the most potent cough suppressant medications on the market. Its effects are very similar to that of morphine except for its euphoric effect, which is more comparable to codeine.
Hydromorphone has significant abuse potential for a number of reasons. Not only does hydromorphone have minimal side effects, wherein the possibility of nausea, vomiting and sedation is negligible, it is a very potent medication with a euphoric rush that is very similar to that of heroin. Additionally, it is extremely effective in the pain relief of the terminally ill, making it one of the most prescribed opioids on the market. The most efficient administration of hydromorphone is done intravenously, where the onset of action occurs within 15 minutes and can last up to 5 hours, whereas hydromorphone taking orally can take up to 30 minutes to take effect.
Side effects for hydromorphone are very similar to other opioid analgesics, such as morphine. Short-term side effects may include euphoria, respiratory depression, mild sedation, nervousness, restlessness, dry mouth, nightmares, constipation, sweating and dizziness and a loss of appetite. Continued use of this narcotic can result in physical dependence within 2 weeks, even if used as directed. Overdosing on hydromorphone can lead to respiratory failure, circulatory system collapse or death. Like most opioids, the long-term side effects of hydromorphone use may result in tolerance with a certain risk of abuse and dependence if used continually for more than 2 weeks.
Withdrawal symptoms for even low dose hydromorphone users can be far worse than that of morphine users. Those taking over 40mg a day can experience a painful withdrawl that can last up to two weeks and consist of shaking, body cramps, cold sweats, diarrhea, insomnia, vomiting, and muscle pain. | <urn:uuid:bcbbdaca-b594-4548-9e36-079b7765f2fd> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.drugtestkits.ca/what-is-hydromorphone.html | 2020-09-21T06:46:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.942147 | 557 |

The FoCo Cafe is a volunteer-driven organization. The Cafe was a volunteer only organization for the first five months and then we began filling positions in order to achieve consistency and sustainability. We spend much time and care with our volunteers and we have seen many volunteers and student interns go on to meaningful jobs or educational opportunities after gifting their time and talent to the Cafe.

Jeff served as the volunteer chef and operations manager from the day the Cafe opened, Thanksgiving 2014. A super volunteer, Jeff has literally created and served tens of thousand of meals to the community!

Padres Keep Wheelchair-Bound Ex-Pitcher on the Roster Indefinitely
Every year since 1993, the Padres have signed Matt LaChappa to a Minor League contract. The lanky left-handed pitcher was a third-round draft pick out of El Capitan High who showed a 90-mph fastball and a killer curve. None of this is that interesting except that LaChappa hasn't thrown a pitch in almost 20 years.
LaChappa's whole life—not just his baseball career—changed one night in April 1996. While warming up in the bullpen for a start in Class A Rancho Cucamonga, he suffered a heart attack brought on by a virus around his heart. It left him brain-damaged and confined to a wheelchair. But even though he would never play baseball again, the Padres didn't release him. In fact, they've signed him to a contract every year since.
"It's our way of saying to Matt that you're a Padre for life," Priscilla Oppenheimer, the Padres' then-director of Minor League operations told the Orange Country Register.
Minor League deals are not the sort of million-dollar blockbusters the guys in the Bigs make. A basic contract like the one LaChappa is likely signed to pays just $3,000 to $7,500 for a five-month season. But more importantly, it ensures LaChappa retains his health insurance so he can receive necessary medical care.
"It is Highmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and they've really been supportive through all this," Oppenheimer said. "I'm sure they could get out of it if they chose."
Oppenheimer, who is credited with championing LaChappa's case to the team, is no longer with the Padres, but her legacy lives on. "It was the right thing to do, the right and proper thing. He's such a good kid, a good player. I was so happy when we did that," Oppenheimer told MLB earlier this season. "And I'm so happy the Padres have kept it up after all these years."
Not only does the franchise continue to support LaChappa financially, they honor him on the baseball field as well. They renamed a Little League Park they helped renovate in Lakeside "Matt LaChappa Field." They honored him at Petco Park, where they wheeled him out to the mound so he could watch his brother throw out the first pitch. And they retired his uniform back at Rancho Cucamonga, where his father threw out the Opening Day first pitch a few years back.
Through it all, LaChappa, who grew up a Padres fan, still loves baseball. Earlier this season he was the Padres' guest at a game and watched batting practice from down on the field, where he met all the current players—technically his teammates.
"When this first happened, we weren't sure if he was going to live or die," said Matt's father Clifford LaChappa. "But the Padres made such a commitment to making Matt a Padre for life. For them to do that, it shows you that sports aren't just about winning, it's also about caring for the players."
And as much as LaChappa loves the Padres, the organization loves him back. "It's my privilege to be able to do this," Oppenheimer said back in 2003. "Matt is my hero."

Minted photo cards (c/o); Williams-Sonoma peppermint bark and snowman marshmallows
So it’s Wednesday, officially about four days until Christmas, and you’re still scratching your head about those last few names on your list. The stores are all madhouses, the free last-minute shipping is dwindling, and you’re feeling like better luck next year. But before you throw in the towel and get all bah humbug on me, take a little look below because I’m rounding up some of the best last-minute gifts that the guys and girls on your list will actually love, scout’s honor. I mean, I was never actually a scout of any kind, but just trust, y’all. And here we go:
Amazon Prime – If you have Amazon Prime, then you know how amazing it is for ordering literally EVERYTHING, and if you don’t already have it, then maybe it’s time to gift it to yourself, girl. The benefits are SO worth it to us, and we use our membership all the time. Also, if your recipient already has Prime, they can add the months onto their membership, or they can convert it to an Amazon gift card. Which brings me to…
Amazon Gift Card – Since Eric and I have Amazon Prime, we seriously order from Amazon multiple times a week, especially during our construction process. It makes picking out light fixtures, rugs and furniture, and small necessities in our house so easy, and most things are delivered to your door in 48 hours. Plus, if you need a dress or shoe or bag STAT, you can get that delivered quickly too. Fo’ free.
Uber Gift Card – Sign me up for this gift, please! I seriously don’t know anyone in my area who doesn’t regularly use Uber, and for good reason. It’s SO convenient. An added bonus of these gift cards? The recipient can add the code into their app right away and then toss the card which makes things super easy.
Airbnb Gift Card – For the travel lover, this is a no-brainer. Whether they pick out a place in Timbuktu or a cozy little spot in their own hometown, these gift cards will cover it.
Southwest Gift Card – (or any travel gift card, really) – Well, because travel ain’t cheap, and fifty bucks off is fifty bucks off.
Postmates Gift Card – If you live in a small town somewhere, you probably have no idea what Postmates is, and that’s probably for the best. Once you’re sucked in, you’re in, and there’s no way out. It’s a meal delivery service similar to Uber, and Eric and I have been guilty of using it a time or two or twenty.
Netflix Gift Card – I’ll be honest – Eric and I don’t use our Netflix account THAT much, but when we want to watch something that’s only available on Netflix, we’re really happy to have it. That said, we don’t watch nearly as many movies or shows as the normal guy or gal. Poor attention spans or something like that, but the kids these days, they really love the Neflix. And now I’m officially old.
Need more ideas? Head over here for a slew of other gift cards to give this season. You’re in the home stretch, friends! | <urn:uuid:7b609cc4-3d49-40a3-a748-9129aeed2037> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.mystylediaries.com/best-last-minute-gifts/ | 2020-09-21T05:58:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.927986 | 736 |
Nefes LGBT Azerbaijan Alliance hold a meeting with another diplomatic mission in Azerbaijan. The meeting took place between Nefes LGBT representatives and Royal Norwegian Embassy. The first Secretary of the embassy and counsel participated in the meeting.
Firstly, they expressed their deep sorrow for the death of Isa Shahmarli and their concern over other recent suicide cases.
Nefes LGBT talked about their organization, actions and projects, and the survey conducted by the organisation during more than five months was introduced to them. Mr. Marko Soldic said that, he is very sad about the common unawareness of the people in this subject, and the gaps in the legislation relating to the defense of the rights of LGBT.
In the end, Mr Marko marked that, they will support any issue that organization will raise and any actions that LGBT Azerbaijan will take. | <urn:uuid:d28f671e-d5bf-49c2-9bb6-9f9f64a379ef> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.nefeslgbt.org/en/nefes-lgbt-azerbaijan-met-with-royal-norwegian-embassy/ | 2020-09-21T05:36:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.976798 | 170 |

LONDON, May 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Asian medical cannabis market will be worth an estimated US$5.8 billion by 2024, the world's leading market intelligence and strategic consultancy firm Prohibition Partners has found in its latest report. According to analysis, if legislation is introduced in a number of the continent's major markets, this estimate could quadruple by 2027.
The Asian Cannabis Report™, the first detailed report on a fully legalised cannabis industry in Asia, finds that the continent could reap significant rewards through cannabis legalisation. The report includes detailed market value forecasts, regulatory timeline analysis, consumption data and healthcare analyses for seven key markets, including China, India, Thailand and South Korea.
Key findings include:
- The Asian cannabis market is expected to be worth $US8.5 billion by 2024 if both medical and recreational cannabis are legalised across a number of key markets.
- Almost 86 million people across Asia consume cannabis annually and medicinal cannabis consumption alone is expected to increase faster in Asia than in other early-adopter nations and regions.
- China and Japan represent Asia's two largest-value medicinal cannabis markets, worth almost US$4.4 billion to China and US$800 million to Japan by 2024; collectively they would account for an estimated 90% share of the market.
- China has already established global dominance in hemp, accounting for nearly half of the world's supply, worth an estimated $1.2 billion.
- India is home to the highest number of cannabis consumers in Asia, estimated at 38 million.
Ahead of the launch, Daragh Anglim, Managing Director at Prohibition Partners explained:
"A regulated legal cannabis market could be transformative to patients, farmers and economies across Asia. From a financial standpoint, as the world's most populous region, the legalisation of cannabis could encourage robust economic growth across the region, buoyed by both local and international demand.
"As demand for CBD rises internationally, China has a huge opportunity to capitalise on this emerging market and help to shift opinions in favour of the therapeutic effects of different cannabinoids, which could stimulate economic growth, jobs and taxes throughout the region."
The Asian Cannabis Report™ is the latest in a series of industry-leading reports from Prohibition Partners uncovering the commercial opportunities of a legal cannabis market.
The report was published on 09/05/2019, and can also be downloaded on Prohibition Partner's website https://prohibitionpartners.com/reports/.

Lodge Suite, nr. 6
The stylish suite (30 m²) is located on the 3rd floor, in the top of the building. The suite – with climate control via air conditioning – has a ceiling that features impressive historic beams. The interior is decorated using atmospheric African elements. Thus, the Lodge has become a perfect mix of past and present with a touch of ‘Out of Africa’. The windows of the Lodge are at the front of the hotel, where you’ll have a beautiful view over Leiden’s bustling inner city. If you stay at the Lodge, you’ll wake up at a high level with Leiden at your feet.
Nassau Suite, nr. 8
The beautiful suite (30 m²) with a regal look is located on the ground floor, next to a small historic courtyard. The Nassau is named after Prince William of Orange, who led the Dutch resistance against the Spanish occupation during the Eighty Years’ War. On 3 October 1574 this resulted in the liberation of Leiden, locally known as Leidens Ontzet. The interior of the Nassau Suite is a feast for your eyes with its many authentic stucco details, the beautiful mantlepiece and impressive high ceilings. Past and present, style and hospitality go hand in hand here. And you can enjoy it to the fullest.
Lodewijk Suite, nr. 9
The Lodewijk is a special suite (30 m²). Not only because of the historical and monumental details, but also thanks to its two-storey layout. You enter on the ground floor where you’ll find the attractive bedroom with spacious box spring and an exclusive en-suite bathroom. The latter is designed in anthracite with silver-coloured accents. Via a private staircase you reach the upper floor where an intimate seating area has been created that offers direct access to the roof terrace. Here you can enjoy views of the old town and the tower of the Lodewijkskerk (St. Louis Church). | <urn:uuid:61418a38-bb5e-489f-80e4-dc511302fe63> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.steenhofsuites.nl/en/suites-2/premium-suites/ | 2020-09-21T06:51:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.945717 | 427 |
Aokigahara, also known as the Sea of Trees (Jukai), is a forest on the northwestern flank of Japan’s Mount Fuji, thriving on 30 square kilometres (12 sq mi) of hardened lava laid down by the last major eruption of Mount Fuji in 864 CE. The western edge of Aokigahara, where there are several caves that fill with ice in winter, is a popular destination for tourists and school trips. Parts of Aokigahara are very dense, and the porous lava absorbs sound, helping to provide visitors with a sense of solitude.
The forest has a historical reputation as a home to y?rei: ghosts of the dead in Japanese mythology. In recent years, Aokigahara has become known as “the Suicide Forest”, one of the world’s most-used suicide sites; signs at the head of some trails urge suicidal visitors to think of their families and contact a suicide prevention association. | <urn:uuid:b81ef46c-2656-4568-a744-8dfbd9556812> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.talkcocksingsong.net/creepy-places-on-earth-01/ | 2020-09-21T07:34:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.957772 | 201 |
The internet of things (IOT) is now at a crossroads. While it has featured in mainstream tech discourse long enough not to be seen as a brand new trend, it is not yet a technology that has entered our everyday lives on a meaningful basis.
But Bluetooth believes it is changing all that. Just as countless hardware manufacturers have adopted its older technologies, Bluetooth Smart looks ready to have the same impact and could start making IOT a reality.
To find out more, we sat down with Bluetooth CMO Suke Jawanda, who told us where the technology is at.
TechRadar Pro: Many technologies are claiming to be the tech enabling the Internet of Things. What is Bluetooth's take?
Suke Jawanda: We can credibly say that Bluetooth Smart technology is what has made the internet of things a reality. It's no coincidence that the flood of wearables we're seeing come to market today started flowing after Bluetooth Smart was integrated into iOS and iPhone 4s in late 2011.
Since then, it's become the de facto standard for fitness devices, smart watches and medical devices from companies as diverse as Nike, Polar, Adidas, Pebble, Samsung, Qualcomm, Sony, iHealth, and Nonin.
And with all major mobile operating systems now offering native Bluetooth Smart APIs, this will only accelerate as manufacturers can create products and associated apps that will run on the smartphones, tablets and PCs that people already own.
Going beyond wearables, there are a number of wireless solutions that will help to enable the IoT, but because Bluetooth Smart is standards based, inexpensive and already shipping in billions of devices every year, it's going to be a major part of making the IoT a practical reality.
Manufacturers know Bluetooth Smart can help them bring new products to huge markets quickly. We're already seeing this as Bluetooth Smart is being widely adopted in beacons for retailing and payment systems, and growing fast in smart home applications as well.
TRP: So what major additions does Bluetooth 4.1 bring to the table?
SJ: There are three major improvements at the heart of the Bluetooth 4.1 specification that tie to:
- Improved usability
- Greater flexibility for developers
- Laying the groundwork for the Internet of Everything
The first is that Bluetooth 4.1 extends the Bluetooth brand promise to provide consumers with a simple experience that "just works." For example, Bluetooth 4.1 eliminates potential interference between Bluetooth and LTE signals so both can perform at their best.
Bluetooth 4.1 also provides OEMs with more control over how they create and maintain Bluetooth connections by making the reconnection time interval flexible and variable.
This improves the consumer experience by allowing devices to reconnect automatically when they are in proximity of one another. The user doesn't need to think about it. The product just works as expected.
Bluetooth 4.1 extends the Bluetooth Smart development environment by providing product and application developers with even more flexibility to create products that can take on multiple roles.
With this new capability, a single device acts as both a Bluetooth Smart peripheral and a Bluetooth Smart Ready hub at the same time.
For example, a smart watch acts as a hub gathering information from a Bluetooth Smart heart rate monitor while simultaneously acting as a peripheral to a smartphone — displaying new message notifications from the phone.
Finally, by adding a standard means to create a dedicated data channel for IPv6 communications in a future update to the specification, the groundwork has been laid for assigning IP addresses to Bluetooth devices.
With the rapid market adoption of Bluetooth Smart and the future addition of IP connectivity, all signs point to Bluetooth as a fundamental wireless link in the Internet of Things.
TRP: What applications can Bluetooth Smart enable that typical users might not know of, especially in the business sphere? | <urn:uuid:6f8deb96-8733-49ad-ac99-7b0dda81cb05> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.techradar.com/sg/news/world-of-tech/future-tech/how-bluetooth-smart-is-shaping-the-internet-of-things-1253196 | 2020-09-21T07:00:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.941926 | 771 |
Book Review // Recognizing the Horse In Pain II
Spoiler Alert! I LOVED this book! Many of you follow my Instagram account and have probably noticed the many quotes from Robson. I pulled them all from this book, and it's safe to say I was tempted to quote this whole book.. piece by piece.. on all of my captions.
What's so amazing about this book you ask? Everything. First, Robson's dedication at the start of the book is in so many ways perfect.
"These pages are dedicated to the horses that do everything we ask of them, even when
they are in pain.
May your voices be heart and understood with compassion."
Next, we've got the opening letter to the reader. I found myself so aggressively nodding in agreement with every statement, every sentence, I was giving myself a headache.
"We have lost our way, and the horses are paying the expensive price. The equine industry is filled with gadgets and gimmicks, promises of quick fixes, magical supplements and ever conceivable product under the blue sky that guarantees you a competitive edge or a happier horse. Time-tested traditions stand-off against novel breakthrough research, Western and Eastern medical philosophies are pitted against one another instead of being integrated for the well-being of the patient, and true horsemanship has frequently become a thing of the past, a lost art. The living, breathing, spirited creatures that carry us are ignored while we talk on cell phones or text while riding, they are assembly-lined to ensure that each gets its allotted daily exercise, and when human interaction isn't available, treadmills and eurocisers continue their conditioning. Money, ribbons, and egos drive the industry. So how is the well-intended equestrian supposed to wade through all the information out there to find the Truth about what's really best for their horses?"
From that point on I was both absorbed and having to force-ably pace myself to give the valuable information time to sink in.
This book isn't a typical 'way over the top of your head' kind of medical book though, it's very easy to read and the information is prepared in such a way that it's easily understood with plenty of pictures and examples for the reader. While Robson does list causes, conditions, and symptoms for many medical conditions, this book is not intended to medically diagnose your horse. Instead it's more of an inspirational push to really look into how your horse is expressing pain, or why it's acting up, when we often we just assume it's poor training or bad manners.
There are detailed sections about Anatomy, Non-Traditional Lameness, Saddle-fitting (and how this affects your horse), The Hoof, and finally a section explaining many of the options available to horse owners to help diagnose and treat their horses. Personally my favorite section was the anatomy section, as it wasn't just another description of the horse's body but actually a walk through of how their body works and abnormalities that can occur from trauma, training, poor husbandry, or poor conformation can affect them or be causing pain.
If I had to pick a second favorite section it would be the Non-Traditional Lameness section. I only didn't choose this as my favorite because personally I was already aware of a lot of these problems and symptoms. That being said, this section may be far more valuable to most readers as it encourages 'outside the box' thinking when it comes to behavioral issues, as they often are pain related.
My only critique on this book would be that more wasn't included on a horse's physical expression of pain in the face or even other parts of the body. Horses often show us pain in subtle ways long before training issues become apparent. Tight chins, tense lips, upright tight necks, ears back, hard eyes, tail ringing, tail swishing.. these are just some of the more subtle signs you can look for on an every day basis when working with your horses.
Perhaps some of that is because those symptoms fall into more of a "behavioral" category rather than a medical category in a lot of cases. Still, I find them extremely important even from a medical standpoint as they could be the beginning of something bigger... or.. they could be a sign of not so much pain but rather a mental or emotional state during handling.
Skipping to the very end of the book, Robson's personal story struck home in so many ways for me. As I was reading her explain her experiences with her late horse "Bud" I found myself thrown back many many years to the horse that changed everything for me; Romeo. His story, though not quite identical to Bud's, was so very similar and also led to a tragic end. Romeo was the horse that forced me to listen, as force and harmful training methods, combined with an unnatural lifestyle, had gradually turned an imported FEI ranked dressage horse to a dangerous and violent cripple... that eventually had to be euthanized as his pain was too great.
Robson talks about how even now, nearly twenty years later, Bud is continuing to teach her and how she recognizes now the symptoms of the pain he was in when back then they were ignored and suppressed through force. So was the story of Romeo, who tried so very hard to please until the pain was so much that his good nature was ruined.
When Romeo's necropsy was done after his passing they found a huge list of problems going on that not even the best vets in the country had cared to look for. Basic things like founder, suspensory desmitis, and so much more hadn't even been considered because his symptoms were not typical. Instead I was instructed to force him to work, that his behavior was uncalled for, that he was 'just being difficult'. My heart aches. It aches for what I did to Romeo, what I allowed others to do to him, and for other horses out there like Bud and Romeo.... all because we don't listen.
"As mammals, humans and equines share the same basic nervous and circulatory systems, the same physiology, we all start with the same embryonic cell structure. A horse reacts to the barely perceptible touch of a fly, so why shouldn't they respond to a seventy-pound roping saddle with an ill-fitting tree? They are social herd animals designed for constant grazing and movement, often forced into small, dark stalls with no equine contact, fed on our schedules, ridden on our schedules, expected to work, show, or perform without protest or individuality, put into tail sets, neck sets, weighted shoes, and shank bits. So why wouldn't they get stomach ulcers, develop nervous habits like weaving and cribbing, get food aggressive, or refuse to walk into a dark trailer that only delivers them to a place of dress? When we can put ourselves in their conditions, from a position of compassionate understanding, only them can we begin to find the road to partnership and harmony."
I'm absolutely determined to one day to meet and maybe even shadow Robson. This book is truly and inspiration. I've read it to death and it looks like it's been drug half way across the world at this point, which is unusual for me as I'm a "paranoid book preserver" (meaning I could return a book after having read it three times probably as it'll still look brand new), but not this one! I'll probably buy a few copies and lend them out to people too. EVERYONE who owns or who's around horses needs to read this book. | <urn:uuid:dac74230-6756-43dc-ba70-b9c2dac7f920> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.thewillingequine.com/post/book-review-recognizing-the-horse-in-pain-ii | 2020-09-21T07:39:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.978849 | 1,560 |
The J.P. Morgan Global Manufacturing PMI composite index said manufacturing on a global scale had expanded in July for the first time since January, buoyed by recoveries in demand and production.
“The July PMI indicates that the recovery which began in May continued into mid-summer,” Olya Borichevska, global economist at J.P.Morgan, said in a statement. “Many of the PMI components reached their pre-pandemic levels for the first time in July including output and new orders [but] to fully recoup the losses sustained in the first half of the year will still take some time, especially if the recovery is knocked off course by any future re-tightening of restrictions.”
It was the fastest output growth since December 2018, as manufacturing continues to rebound from the global pandemic and worldwide recession, wrote Chad Moutray, chief economist with the National Association of Manufacturers.
Manufacturers expressed cautious optimism about future production, as sentiment among the top 10 markets for U.S.-manufactured products improved in every economy in July.
“Despite recent progress, manufacturers still need to dig out of a deep hole globally, with industrial production well below the pre-pandemic pace,” wrote Moutray in a brief. “Industrial production data in several markets reflect this.”
For example, TradeStats Express reported that U.S.-manufactured goods exports totaled $566.92 billion through the first six months of 2020, dropping 17.35 percent (from $685.93 billion), in the first half of 2019.
Meanwhile, the U.S. trade deficit declined from $54.8 billion in May — its highest point since December 2018 — to $50.7 billion in June.
The U.S. dollar has also fallen 5.2 percent compared to a broad index of currencies, according to the Federal Reserve.
However, manufactures continue to cite a strong dollar as a challenge, both to their earnings and for increasing international demand, said Moutray. | <urn:uuid:01d4d291-8027-430e-8ffa-f4b4980d4ef0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.tradeonlytoday.com/manufacturers/global-manufacturing-activity-expands-for-the-first-time-since-january | 2020-09-21T07:25:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198942.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921050331-20200921080331-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.967441 | 430 |

The 2018 Reuben Rose Poetry Competition Presentations Evening
We held the presentations event of the 2018 Reuben Rose International Poetry Competition on May 16th, 2019 at Mercaz Avivim near Tel Aviv university. The first prize winner, John Gallas of the UK, didn't manage to get here, much to his and our regret; but sent us a lovely recording of himself reading his prize-winning poem:
Our two Israeli prize-winners and three Israeli "honourable mentions" read their poems themselves, while the poems of those who live abroad were beautifully read by Israeli proxy readers.
Here's a link to the full list of winners and Honorable Mentions; from that page, and from here, there's a link to the texts of the poems. (Please note that there are slight discrepancies between the written text of John Gallas's poem and the audio recording he made for us after winning).
Below are a few photos to give the feel of the evening.

Identity theft is increasing on a global scale, with financial information and client records considered foundational data for cyber criminals that indulge in this practice, whether for strict financial gain or use in fraudulent transactions. The normal practice is that harvested data is used to create other accounts (such as bank, email or other) or indeed continue using existing accounts but changing passwords to prevent legitimate access.
Small to medium enterprises obviously store both financial and health information and are prime targets for hackers. In August 2014. These criminals do not care about your business information but focus more on your personal details such as date of birth, address, etc., using them for services or credit applications.
Australia has had its fair share of data breaches. In 2012, ransomware (software that locks down a computer until a ‘ransom’ is paid using an untraceable digital currency such as Bitcoin) was used to compromise the operations of a Gold Coast medical centre.
Luckily, with a little knowledge and some forward planning, you can protect your medical practice from most of these data breaches. I say most, as even large enterprises are successfully breached by highly skilled hackers on occasion and few servers can continue operation if thousands of hackers launch a simultaneous attack.
The brave new world of increased mobility means work is an activity rather than a destination. Employees can work from anywhere in the world using mobile devices: they can even choose, manage, and use their own devices in many cases.
This carries enormous benefits to businesses as employees become more productive and available. However, it also creates risk because these devices and the data that resides on them may not be adequately secured, so sensitive company information may be compromised. Organisations must take measures to protect business information on mobile devices.
Using mobile devices comes with new concerns around securing and protecting company data, especially when it comes to storing and transmitting information. When employees use mobile devices, they often also use public cloud services like Google and Dropbox to store documents and information – and these are often beyond the visibility and control of the IT department. As a result, businesses need to consider ways to ensure maximum security for mobile workers that access, share and collaborate on work and documents over mobile devices.
The Australian Federal Government this week launched the annual Stay Smart Online Week. In conjunction they have released the Stay Smart Online Small Business Guide. Business owners can use this guide to ensure they are following safe online practices, and have sufficient security in place to protect sensitive data from a potential breach.
This comes at a time when businesses, organisations and government departments are increasingly being subject to data breaches on a regular basis. Yet in what is a growing concern, there appears to be little consensus about what entities should do once a breach is discovered.
Defining a data breach is an exercise in itself. At its core, it refers to an unauthorised access of information on a computer or network. Hacking is the most common example, however the guidelines below apply not just to data breaches but to instances of online bullying, defamation, threats and similar problems in the digital space.
So who should you call when you want to investigate a data breach? The straight answer is that it all depends on what you want to achieve.
Every business, whether large or small, needs to have a customer-facing website these days, and in the past twelve months Australians spent $17.5 billion on online retail sales. In fact, according to Avast Software, online shopping is Australia’s number one online activity, social media, banking and emailing…before we get down to adult content, illegal torrent sites and checking the weather forecasts, which are also in the top ten.
While this level of online activity is great for commerce in Australia, it also brings with it a host of problems – potentially very damaging ones. Companies and web developers know that a website needs security, but many business owners do not understand the depth of online threats that exist, and the ever-evolving complexity of attacks.
Regardless of whether a website sells directly to the public, or simply exists as a tool to host marketing information and contact details, an attack can be disastrous to business credibility and continuity. Imagine a client happily selling from the web one minute, then having to contact an entire customer base and explain that their security has been compromised. Payment details may have fallen into the hands of criminals, a foreign entity may be blackmailing the company or perhaps there has been a malicious attack and sales can’t continue as the online inventory is down.

In the fast-paced business world, things are evolving all the time. If you want to maintain the success of your business, you need to ensure that you are keeping up with the changing times, and adapt to all of the new demands that are being thrown your way.
Although the economy does seem to be on the right path once more, it can still be a difficult time for businesses if they do not embrace all of the new types of technology and marketing that is available to them. So whilst some of the things we are going to talk about in this post may cost you some money, they are all to help your business stay successful in the long term.
The most successful businesses are ones that are systemised because business owners are not stuck in the day-to-day grind of work, but rather developing their business. Businesses that have a solid foundation of systems are able to grow much more smoothly, creating fewer headaches for the business owner or manager.
There are 3 key pillars to business systemisation including People, Process and Technology. As a business starts to grow, people are usually employed to perform certain tasks. Typically business owners don’t document what needs to be done and what the most efficient way of doing it is, leaving employees to deliver important work to customers in different ways at varying degrees of standards. In turn, employers are left with inconsistent work, rework and unhappy customers.
What is it?
I’ve been working in technology longer than I want to admit and I’ve seen the same thing over and over again. It happens to I.T professionals, even university level teachers and high level government officials. It happens to micro business and small business owners and even school children.
At times in my life, usually when rushed, distracted or under stress, it has happened to me. It does not discriminate on the basis of age, financial status, education level, IQ, or gender but it can be prevented or mitigated by simple changes in process.

My 2nd ebook, Rolled Up Dimensionality: Short stories from a forgotten life, is now available for the Kindle ebook reader! Rolled Up Dimensionality is a string of 5 Sci-Fi short stories and a collection of Japanese haiku inspired SF poetry. Bug eyed monsters, a half-naked tied up Asian girl, and a time traveling ninja open the collection in the farcical “Gracie Under Pressure.” Later stories include out of body vacationing, deadly training exercises, and the angst of the void.
I wrote these back in college and have updated them all for this release. It was a lot of fun revisiting and retooling the ideas behind these stories.

NEW TGS HOOPS...FRACAS AT THE PHOG AND BRACKET UPDATE
by Bruce Marshall, Goldsheet.com Editor
Like baseball fights, most basketball fights tend to be much ado about nothing. Rarely does anyone really get hurt. But, sometimes, things can get ugly. In the pros, the first thing that comes to mind is the raucous Pacers-Pistons melee from November 2004. And there have been a couple of college basketball brawls in the past decade (Cincinnati-Xavier and Texas Tech-Oklahoma State) that also pushed things to the edge because fans either indirectly, or directly, became involved in the fracas.
That’s where the line has to be drawn in such melees, and one in which Kansas and Kansas State crossed on Tuesday night at Phog Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence.
How these particular fisticuffs began in the first place was rather ridiculous. This was not a brewing situation over the course of the contest. Kansas was comfortably ahead for most of the game and about to put the finishing touches on a satisfying win (81-59 at the time) while bouncing out the last few seconds on the clock. Usually, losing teams will wave the white flag in those circumstances and allow the game to mercifully complete, the winning team (Kansas in this case) content to just dribble in place and let the last few seconds tick off of the clock.
But in this case, the Wildcats DaJuan Gordon was determined to play out the final seconds, even as HC Bruce Weber had waved off his team with instructions to let the clock expire. Gordon stripped Jayahwks frontliner Silvio De Sousa, who was expecting the clock to uneventfully run out in a few seconds, of the ball. It was a breach of hoops etiquette by Gordon. De Sousa became incensed, however, and when Gordon went in for a layup in the last second, De Sousa was having none of it and planted Gordon and his shot on the floor. Enraged, De Sousa taunted and barked at Gordon as he stood over him. In these days, that’s an invitation for a quick escalation of hostilities. Soon the fracas began.
Things got ugly in a matter of seconds as the melee moved behind the basket and into the crowd, into a seating area for disabled fans. It all was happening in a flash as the benches spilled onto the court and into the wild fisticuffs. Punches were suddenly flying and De Sousa even lifted a chair above his head and appeared ready to use it as a weapon. It was mayhem for maybe 12-15 seconds, but that’s all it takes for control to be lost.
Whenever one of these melees spills into the crowd, we at TGS are old enough to remember perhaps the most-frightening and disturbing incident in our 63 seasons of publishing. And why it’s always a good idea to remind those who just wave off these fights as entertainment that the line between a routine brawl and mayhem can be a fine one. Which is why memories of Ohio State-Minnesota 1972 occasionally need to be dusted off to remind fans and the bettors in the sports books that this stuff can get very serious.
Ask Luke Witte.
While memories of Ron Artest’s NBA adventure into the stands in Auburn Hills from 15+ years ago remain fresh in the minds of many, any college basketball insider on ESPN or elsewhere ought to be able to quickly cite the dangers of crowd involvement by recalling events of that infamous Buckeyes-Golden Gophers brawl in ‘72. Which was perhaps the ugliest and most-dangerous situation we recall in all of college hoops history (perhaps even American sports history, certainly during our TGS publishing years since 1957) because of an unruly crowd that became part of the mayhem that night at Williams Arena, when it was fortunate that Ohio State’s Witte (who was rushed to the hospital) and other Buckeyes avoided more serious injury. And, especially in Witte’s case, coming out of the altercation alive.
True, there are a couple of distinctions that need to be made regarding the Artest incident from November of 2004, and the Ohio State-Minnesota melee. In the former, it was Artest and the on-court fight spilling into the stands and eventually involving spectators. It was the opposite in Ohio State-Minnesota; the attack (it wasn’t really a fight), instigated by the Gophers’ Corky Taylor, started on the floor, and the fans then came onto the court to cause, effectively, a small-scale riot.
The bottom line is that there are unknown dangers to all whenever fans become involved in such situations with players, and such disturbances must be avoided at all costs. Once the fighting leaves the court and gets into the crowd, control is too easily lost...and that’s where these situations can become scary.
Fans simply cannot get in the middle of such battles. Anyone who has ever seen the mayhem that can be caused by a large crowd would have to realize the potential dangers. Though circumstances were not exactly the same, there are some parallels to the examples that have taken place in Euro soccer at Heysel Stadium (in Brussels, during the 1985 European Cup final between Juventus and Liverpool) and Hillsborough (Sheffield, England, for an FA Cup match in 1989) in the ’80s, and the carnage that ensued (try hundreds of casualties), underlining grave dangers that are caused by, first, an agitated mob, and second, too many people in a limited amount of space. (There are various other examples from world soccer over the decades as well.)
Situations in a jam-packed basketball arena, like Lawrence’s Phog Allen Fieldhouse, are not terribly different. When a melee like Kansas State-Kansas spills into the stands, whether or not the fans had anything to do with the incident, always threatens to have catastrophic consequences. We were darned lucky something worse didn’t transpire in Lawrence last Tuesday night.
The danger of situations like Kansas State-Kansas is that they can quickly escalate into something much worse, like what we saw in Minneapolis in January of 1972.
The atmosphere was heated that night at Williams Arena (“The Barn” was even considered a relic 48 years ago), with the crowd whipped into a frenzy for a Big Ten showdown between the Gophers and Buckeyes. First-year Minnesota coach Bill Musselman had loaded his roster with juco transfers to create the most-intimidating (in a physical sense) team of the early ’70s. The Gophers were urban and hip and brash and played with a collective chip on their shoulders. Whereas the Buckeyes were more of the old-fashioned, button-down variety college hoops team. Ironically, Fred Taylor’s OSU side that season included only a pair of African-American players, Wardell Jackson and Benny Allison, although the Buckeyes had long fielded integrated teams.
It has been said that racial tensions might have had something to do with the on-court explosion that night which occurred with 36 seconds to play and OSU ahead by a 50-44 count. After being involved in a minor incident with Minnesota’s Bobby Nix on the way to the locker rooms at halftime, aformentioned Buckeye C Luke Witte was fouled viciously on a lay-up try by balding Gopher PF Clyde Turner (whom we always believed was one of the oldest-looking college players of the era, bearing a remarkable resemblance to The Spinners’ lead singer Philippe Wynn), while Turner’s teammate Corky Taylor participated in the further butchering of Witte by belting the big Buckeye on the ear with a roundhouse right just after Luke was clocked by Turner. Crumpled to the floor, Witte was slow to get up when Taylor offered what seemed to be a sporting gesture to help him to his feet. Except that Taylor, in a move that would have been heartily endorsed only by Vince McMahon and a few pro wrestling aficionados, instead kneed the prone Witte in the groin.
Soon fists were flying everywhere and the animals in the Williams Arena crowd joined in the melee. Witte, badly hurt and writhing in pain on the floor, was subsequently stomped by Gopher Ron Behagen, who rushed from Minnesota bench to mete out his own punishment on the Ohio State center. After several stomps to Witte’s head, Behagen was pulled off by Buckeye coach Fred Taylor, who might have saved Witte from grievous injury, although Behagen was indignant. “Let me go, man, let me go!,” yelled Behagen to the Buckeye coach, himself a pretty rough character who was not about to watch his star center get beaten to death.
Meanwhile, the melee had extended to other parts of the court, where Minnesota fans had joined the fray. Coming to the aid of stricken teammate Witte, Buckeye Dave Merchant was pummeled by another Gopher, Jim Brewer. The balding Turner also got in his licks. Toward midcourt, Ohio State sub Mark Wagar was being attacked by various Gopher players and fans. One of the Gophers was none other than forward Dave Winfield (yes, that Dave Winfield), who landed four or five blows to the head and face of the prone Wagar. While the dazed Wagar was trying to escape, he was belted by several more Gopher fans, who by this time were all over the court.
With almost no security personnel on hand, it was up to a couple of coaches and administrators and a few good-doers from the crowd to try to restore order. The final 36 seconds of the game were never played, with OSU declared a 50-44 winner. Carried by teammates from the floor, Witte was booed by the Minnesota crowd, which threw objects at him as he was helped from the court. Big Ten Commissioner Wayne Duke subsequently suspended Behagen and Taylor for the remainder of the season, though Brewer and Winfield, their actions not caught by cameras, escaped similar punishment.
Indeed, Winfield’s active participation in the brawl has gone mostly unnoticed since by the majority of media personnel; when once bringing up the fact on a sports talk show, late L.A. sports radio personality Joe McDonnell was indignant, insisting that Big Dave was never involved in the fracas. “Big Joe” was simply unaware, we believe, though we wonder what sort of direction Winfield’s eventual Hall of Fame baseball career would have taken had he been as closely linked with Corky Taylor and Ron Behagen to the brawl.
This wasn’t a run-of-the-mill brawl in 1972 at Minneapolis; it was a public mugging instead.
Three Buckeyes, including the badly-injured Witte, who spent the night in intensive care, went to the hospital for their injuries. Witte, who needed 29 stitches to close facial cuts while also suffering a scratched cornea, was never quite the same player afterward. The Buckeyes were also not the same team thereafter in the 1971-72 season, fading out of contention in the Big Ten while Musselman’s deep and intimidating Minnesota squad eventually gained its bearings and won the conference, advancing to the Big Dance where it was eliminated by eventual NCAA finalist Florida State.
As for Witte, considered one of the top big men in the country at the time, his career was never the same, although he did eventually play for a brief time in the NBA with the early versions of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Parallels between Kansas State-Kansas and Ohio State-Minnesota melees are a bit stretched, though Tuesday’s “Fracas (Phracas?) at the Phog” did not quite meet the mayhem threshold that Buckeyes-Gophers exceeded in 1972. Only by the grace of God, perhaps. Wayne Duke’s season-long suspensions of Taylor and, however, were not replicated by the Big 12, which has doled out four lesser suspensions to players involved (two from each side), with De Sousa’s 12-game suspension the most-severe penalty. Kansas, jockeying for a number one seed in The Big Dance, should have De Sousa eligible again for the last regular-season game. Whatever, we thought the suspensions for Kansas State-Kansas, especially De Sousa, were actually rather light.
Boys, it can be said, will always be boys, but it’s the atmospheres surrounding athletic events that can often contribute more to the sense of imminent hostility, where one flashpoint can trigger an eruption. What must be avoided at all costs are atmospheres that are conducive to violence. It does not take much for an on-court fight to mushroom into something much uglier; when crowds become involved, complete control is lost.
Kansas State-Kansas just missed from escalating into something far worse, along the lines of Ohio State-Minnesota 1972. Let’s just hope we don’t have to recall the names of Corky Taylor, Ron Behagen, and Luke Witte anytime soon in relation to a new basketball brawl.

After a chat with the vet receptionist, I contacted the Cat Protection woman again, with the result that I am borrowing a multi-cat trap and they are all booked in for neutering on Tuesday. It has to be a bit provisional, of course, as I’m relying on catching them all, but we’ll see how it goes. My friend who’s lending the single trap is bringing that at the weekend too and I’ll leave that arrangement, it might be useful.
I am much happier about this, I’d been worrying about the odds of catching them all, one at a time. I lay awake for several hours worrying, in fact.
I was terribly tired today, more so than I’d have expected from a single disturbed night. I felt sick with exhaustion and had to have a nap this afternoon. The children were very good, left to their own devices for half an hour – and then another half hour. And then I went for an early bath and slept on the sofa for another hour. I couldn’t face cooking or eating dinner, so made some toast – but I haven’t eaten much of that. I’m going to bed soon. This seems to be a recipe for wakefulness in the small hours, but I can’t help that. This is an odd thing to happen, but evidently exhaustion has built up over a while.
I was feeling much more hopeful about the cat situation but then I had an email from a friend and colleague, with the news that he has been diagnosed with cancer in his jaw. His wife has been treated for ovarian cancer for the past four years – as everyone knows, unless this cancer is caught very early (which it rarely is), the prognosis is dismal. My friend’s oncologists believe his is treatable, but will need radiotherapy, surgery and reconstruction after that. It sounds horrifying, though his email is calm – which is typical of him, he gets on and deals with things and doesn’t show his feelings.
I’m going to bed now, I’m still ludicrously tired. Goodnight, loves. | <urn:uuid:7564b0b2-b354-4db3-953f-8162271f1098> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://razorbladeoflife.co.uk/uncategorized/good-news-and-bad/ | 2020-09-22T13:11:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206133.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922125920-20200922155920-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.986565 | 450 |

Close your eyes and think of THE MOST FUN THING that you can do at half-past midnight.
Did you come up with puking? No? Because that’s what happened to me last night.
I was the picture of health all day yesterday. I was Fine, with a capital F. I even had two chai teas, for the nutritional benefits. (As a side note, I think the British are way ahead of us when it comes to the afternoon spot o’ tea. It’s a habit I’m going to start embracing.)
Then, for whatever reason, I woke up at midnight. My very first thought was, “I don’t think I feel good.” I don’t know if it was the extreme nausea or the fact that I felt like I was holding my stomach at the base of my throat that tipped me off first, but by 12:30 this morning, I was clutching our toilet for dear life and unloading everything I’ve ever eaten since the third grade.
And. It. Would. Not. Stop.
At one point, the boy and his award-winning bedhead shuffled into my bathroom and quietly asked, “Mom? You’re not going to die, are you?”
At that moment, I really had no idea. I was wondering if an autopsy report has ever listed the cause of death as VOMITING.
(Probably. A good carnival can do that to a girl. But… I didn’t attend a carnival last night, nor did I have a big, fried funnel cake or a two-foot corndog.)
But, you will be happy to hear that I didn’t disturb Hubs IN THE LEAST. My Navy SEAL slept all night long, even though his master bathroom was filled with the sounds of a grizzly bear rupturing her own spleen with a homemade wooden mallet. He was so surprised to learn this morning that all of my important, internal organs had been flushed into the sewage system.
I have never felt safer in my own home.
By this morning, I felt like a full-grown cat who had gone through the EXTRA-RINSE WASH CYCLE in the Whirlpool, which is why Thing 2 and I spent our entire day laying low.
We wore our pajamas and watched tractor videos and train videos on You Tube. We watched alphabet videos, shape videos, color videos and number videos. We watched Taylor Swift videos, Matt Redman videos, and Mercy Me videos. We saw dump trucks, excavators, fork lifts, front-end loaders and monster trucks, all doing what they do best.
And that’s when we found the Teletubbies.
I have never understood the Teletubbies, but that could simply be because I’ve never invested any precious life moments into actually WATCHING them. But today, we partook of the four martians / aliens / brightly-colored-I-don’t-know-whats. Thing 2 was hooked and laughed like a happy baby in front of their show, while I simply felt like I needed to puke again. I’m not sure their videos are aimed at the sober demographic.
Anyway, I think I’ve recovered. I think I’ve managed to bounce back to the stage of being normal again. I’ve had three homemade chai teas today, because that’s honestly all that I thought my belly could handle.
The Teletubbies will do that to you.
Before I go, I have to show you that Hubs believes a boy is never too young to learn the art of building a solid fort. He and Thing 2 had a marvelous time together earlier this week, as they began wondering if they could get their mail at their new home.
Y’all have a happy weekend, and I’ll see you back here on Sunday evening. | <urn:uuid:423fd58c-8bc9-4fae-9f3c-ae5d54db8d4d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.jedi-mama.com/2014/01/insert-clever-post-title-here/ | 2020-09-22T15:02:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206133.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922125920-20200922155920-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.969788 | 841 |
We were talking about this with one of my groups today and felt it powerful to share. It might trigger people... that's totally okay.
When I started with my last Spiritual Coach she said to me, we have one theme in our work together, and you're going to come kicking and screaming through this, but it's the one thing that has governed your life for lifetimes. That one thing is CONTROL. She said (lovingly) "You feel that you know better than God does in what your life should look like, so you try to control the very forces of the Universe. You imagine that you can decide when it's okay that Source knows best and when you know more. You assume that Spirit knows best except when you know better. When you don't feel that control, you justify it internally to say that you actually do."
She taught me that we do have choice in everything we do, in what we believe and in what feels true, but we do not truly have control over anything.
It was like 'now I'm going to meditate and I'm going to control how long I do it and what it looks like and in that moment it's okay to surrender'. It's like saying 'Hey Universe! I am in control - not you! I will tell you exactly what I want and then it's your job to deliver it to me." And honestly, that's kind of bullshit. I can choose what I ask for but I can't control how it's delivered. It's a big f-u to the Universe when I tell it I control it, because I know best.
No matter what I say or think, I'm pretty sure that I don't control the Divine.
I cannot control the world around me. The only thing I can do is accept that everything in my life is a choice. I try to control Spirit, to control Abundance. to control Security, to control my life and those around me, to control my flow. It doesn't work.
But when I see where I am working so hard to control things that are NOT mine to control, I can release all this energy I've been holding onto. See, I am not in control of anything other than the choices I make.
I can choose my thoughts and my thoughts create my reality.
There's such a HUGE difference between CONTROL and CHOICE.
Am I willing to question myself... is this me controlling the process or is this me showing up and making choices that support me? And can I allow others the same freedom of choice without the control?
What can I choose?
Where can I release my feeble attempts at control?
The more I dove into those questions the more miracles started to occur. The more I became a creator in my life instead of forcing and pushing and holding onto unrealistic expectations.
Listen, I'm not perfect - I still have control issues.
AND I keep taking my mind out of my decisions. I keep reminding myself that each moment is filled with choice. And choice gives me a place where truly I reign supreme... since clearly there's nothing else I am ever able to rule over. | <urn:uuid:7f453049-02cc-4b99-bad6-7e48063bd95c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.stacynelsonunlimited.com/irreverence/control-vs-choice | 2020-09-22T15:21:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206133.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922125920-20200922155920-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.97381 | 642 |

What happens when a condominium has a construction defect? A construction defect is a problem in the workmanship or in the materials used to build a structure, which ultimately causes harm to a person or property, usually amounting to huge financial damages.
The common solution for many community associations in this circumstance is to file defect claims against the developer of the condominium. Under Florida law, an association can bring claims against a developer within 10 years from when the original construction was completed.
But filing construction defect claims is not as easy as it sounds. In this episode of Community Association Matters, we speak with commercial litigator Phillip Joseph who co-chairs the law firms of Ball Janik. He identifies four common obstacles that associations face which prevents them from filing defect claims against developers…
Philip gives three instances of inaction where board inaction can hinder a defect claim:
The first instance is when a board member holds off filing defect claims due to conflict of interest. Imagine a board member reluctant to bring in claims on behalf of the association because it would hinder his chance of selling his unit.
The second instance is when the board does not take necessary steps to properly investigate the association’s properties for defects such as retaining consultants, engineers, architects, and attorneys to look at possible construction and design issues, and to give advice so that the board can file defect claims.
The third instance is when the board is faced with the reality of construction defects— instead of filing claims, they are paralyzed by the enormous responsibility before them. Board members may tend to hold off on decision making or would want to delegate that responsibility to owners.
Developer’s ‘poison pills’
Phillip says that many developers, in an attempt to avoid construction defect claims, put anti-litigation provisions or ‘poison pills’ in governing documents. These hinder or prevent boards and community associations from bringing claims.
The most common poison pills are the following:
- to get a majority vote (75-80%) of owners to approve filing for a claim;
- to give only a short period of time for owners to make the vote (around 60 days);
- to get owners to approve a maximum litigation budget; and
- to have owners specially assessed, i.e. all owners have to pay upfront prior to litigation procedures
Though these anti-litigation provisions are often unenforceable, the board should still be careful when dealing with governing documents and should seek counsel with specialized litigators.
Florida state laws
There is a statute in Florida which says that if poison pill provisions are put in the governing documents, Florida law will most likely invalidate those provisions (making them unenforceable). Unfortunately, this only applies to homeowner associations and not condominium associations.
But according to Phillip, though there isn’t a statute directly on point for condominium associations as there is with homeowner associations, if you have a similar poison pill provision that you saw in a case from a different state, like the Trustees of Cambridge Point Condominiums case in Massachusetts, then a Florida court looking at those provisions would basically decide the same as the Massachusetts court.
Trends in the industry
A significant interest of developers, building contractors, and design professionals in Florida’s economy means a lot of ongoing constructions throughout the state. As a result, there are a lot of claims being brought all throughout.
But what is the trend among other states? On one hand, Maryland in 2018 has gone on one extreme by taking matters into their own hands. Maryland legislators no longer waited for a court to decide these issues: they instead specifically passed laws that prevented developers from including poison pill provisions in governing documents.
On the contrary, Utah passed legislature in 2017 which made it extremely difficult for associations to bring claims against developers. First, the board must send notice to all its owners that it’s going to sue. Second, 75% of voting owners must be in favor of proceeding. Lastly, all owners must pay 10% of all the fees and costs of the anticipated litigation.
All states have different trends with regard to legislature, but ultimately, Phillip believes that the solution is to raise the board associations’ awareness about poison pill provisions and educating them to go forward with bringing in claims when necessary.
If your Association needs help with regards to bringing construction or design defect claims, you can reach out to the Ball Janik law firm by visiting their website, or you can contact Phillip through his email email@example.com.

Franz has his brown hair in a buzz cut and dark eyes. He wears the typical Attack Junior High School boys uniform.
Franz is a kind person who enjoys being around Hanna. Like Hanna, he is not willing to admit that the two of them are dating.
Franz and Hanna are embarrassed by Jean calling them a couple and deny the relation.
During recess, Franz tries some of Hanna's food.
In the school's 104th festival, Franz helps at Eren's chee-burgs stand. After Armin is prepped to be their salesperson, Franz blushes at how Armin looks in his getup, and a jealous Hanna shoves him for it. He later carries Hanna and flees when Titans appear and steal all of the food stands.

It’s been 5 months since my trip to Germany ended.
Just getting off the plane in Edinburgh Airport today I was eavesdropping on a conversation between excited German tourists. I was standing in the queue with them for the airport bus to town. Listening to them yap away, got me dewy eyed and nostalgic about the trip and experience.
Suddenly I was back where it all began.
Hamburg. 19th March, 2013. A bitterly cold winters day.
Getting off the plane at Hamburg airport while everyone was shivering in the sub-zero freezing temperatures, just listening to everyone converse in German sent a warm chill down my spine.
The alien tongue was an invitation to learn something new, to immerse myself in a different landscape and reality.
An invitation for adventure. 2 whole months of exploring a country and getting to know it’s people, culture, language, food and landscape.
So what happened next?
The remnant of the journey is now not just a tweet, an instagram and stuck in thoughts.
It is now a book.
You can read about all of my 48 Hour adventures in Germany by downloading FOR FREE my ‘48 Hour Guides to Germany’ from the German National Tourism website.
Now that some months have passed, I have a better perspective of the whole trip.
Sometimes life is funny. You are so caught up in the moment that it often takes months before you realize the magnitude of what actually happened.
Looking back at the project one of the takeaways was that I have got to know the country a lot more better. There is so much rich diversity within this country in terms of it’s food, history, culturally and also it’s natural heritage.
The food is one great example of this amazing diversity- I savoured everything from the tasty and very unhealthy Bremer Knipp to the Swabian Spatzle and the Nuremberger Bratwurst.
Then of course each region has it’s own amazing range of beers.
If I had to stick my head out and say what my favourite beer then I’ll vote for the Kolsch from the Fruh brauwerei with Augustiner and the amazing Rotbier at Herr Engel’s Aldstadthof Hausbraurei in Nuremberg, my other favourites.
When I look back at the pictures , one of the things I miss is just sitting at the train window.
Enjoying the beautiful German scenery outside.
From lush flat green fields and wind turbines of the windy north to the beautiful Rhine, the fairytale medieval castles and forests of the south.
Deutsche Bahn is THE way to explore the amazing landscape of Germany.
Then you have the stunning contrast of architectural styles everywhere: from the Gehry inspired futuristic skyline of Dusselfdorf’s mediahafen to the ‘Baderarchitecktur’ of Rugen and the half timbered villages of the south.
As you flick through the guides, you’ll also notice how affordable Germany is- beer was often cheaper than bottled water, tons of affordable and tasty snack ‘imbiss’ joints and excellent bakeries in each city I visited, I stayed at the excellent and comfortable Jugendherberge hostel network, great value public transport network, tons of history and stories on every street corner for you to dip into plus the fact that many of the best museums in the country offer free and discounted entry on certain days of the month. This country is perfect for any BudgetTraveller.
Biggest takeaway is that contrary to the stereotype, German people are some of the friendliest and hospitable people I’ve encountered on my travels. If I had any questions or problems-everywhere I’ve been, people have been polite, courteous and eager to help.
So if you are yet to visit Germany, make sure soon or in 2014, you do make a point of visiting this beautiful country.
‘48 Hour Guides to Germany’ are now ready to download for free from the German National Tourism Office.
For convenience, we’ve divided the book into 12 different chapters and mini e-books so you can download whichever destination you are interested in reading about.
There has been a lot of effort poured into this project since the trip ended,-more research and getting to know more about the places I visited, sitting down and writing the guides and then shifting through the 5000 photographs and pulling together the pictures for each guide.
Catharina Fischer from German National Tourism Office and her team have been amazing in putting my words and pictures together and helping create these guides.Thank you for this amazing opportunity!
I hope you , the reader and traveller, enjoy the end product and do use it for your future trips to Germany. If you have any feedback and thoughts to share, please leave a comment below or mail me at europebudgetguide AT gmail.com

Brene Brown has been a powerful influence in my life over the past few years, and I love what she has to say about numbing. We don’t get to selectively numb the painful emotions. When we numb the fear, the anxiety, the brokenness, the hurt – we also numb joy, love, connection, wonder, etc. “When we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.” ~B.Brown.
And I feel numb. I like so many others, have become adept at avoiding my feelings.
Here is a quote from an another author currently rocking my world –
“The problem with being numb is that it is less detectable than sadness or anger or joy. People don’t often even think about it, except that usually just under the surface, there is a nagging sense that something isn’t right.”
Do you feel a little off? Maybe you know you don’t exactly feel happy anymore – but you may also know that there’s nothing really “wrong” either. But it’s there – that feeling, that knowing….that this isn’t how it should be.
We were not designed or created to live numb. We were not meant to escape our lives through distraction. We aren’t meant to numb out – burn out -become apathetic.
We live in a culture that has never been so distracted. And we’ve become so blind to the many tools we use to numb out. We know about “eating our feelings” and having that glass of wine at the end of a long day – but what about endless hours of Netflix binging, escape reading, never-ending scrolling through social media, and constantly living for “the next”? So many things prevent us from living present – enjoying our “now.” Do we need to completely avoid these things? No. But, when we’re tempted to sit and watch an entire season of a show on Netflix or eat handfuls of chocolate chips, we need to ask ourselves WHY. Are we seeking to enjoy good food, entertainment, etc – or are we using them as tools to numb out?
If we want to heal, we need to feel. We need to feel our pain, our hurt, our fears. We can’t numb the dark without numbing the light too. I don’t want to continue to live without joy – without passion – without excitement. We weren’t made to simply exist, just getting by from day to day – we were made to FEEL – to LIVE!
What would it feel like to wake up? What would it look like to live renewed? How would it change your family if you started to feel again? What would that do in your marriage? Your friendships? Your spiritual walk?
We need to have the courage to “rumble” with our feelings – and dare to work through them – finding the root causes and working to bring about change.
I love this quote I found in a Psychology Today article by writer Susan Biali M.D. -“You see a lot more when your head is lifted up instead of focused down or inward, transported away from life and blinded to it by some numbing pleasure.”
I want to see more. I want to feel. I want to smile. I want to laugh. I want to live AWAKE. | <urn:uuid:34175701-d521-4a37-85c1-c0fc26cf1ffb> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://chasingsupermom.com/2017/11/numb/ | 2020-09-22T14:50:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206133.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922125920-20200922155920-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.968601 | 720 |

Good grief. Read this article in the AJC and then come back to chat.
DeKalb County’s new school superintendent wants to shelve or scrap 35 building projects after discovering a $41 million shortfall in the sales tax-funded construction account.
The projects include improvements for disabled students, new school air conditioning systems, running tracks, emergency generators, kitchens and plumbing fixtures at facilities across the county.
Superintendent Cheryl Atkinson proposed the cuts at a special meeting of the school board Wednesday. School district officials revealed on Wednesday that they discovered a $41.35 million shortfall in the five-year construction sales tax program that expires this summer.
[Now go to our tab at the top labeled “Facts & Sources” then “Files” and download the documents presented to the board with suggested cuts to projects in a desperate attempt to recover over 40 million missing dollars.]
So, basically, the very vocal people who had access to decision-makers (or actually ARE decision-makers in the case of Ramona Tyson pushing her pet multi-million dollar tech project at the William Bradley Bryant Center or Crawford Lewis and Pat Pope who pushed to create the gleaming new Central Office), or others who managed to bloat the scope of their school projects to so far beyond the original budget as to almost be unrecognizable, and who pushed and pushed, were able to grab the big piles of SPLOST money while they were there, leaving very little in the end for things like new AC units, roofs, emergency generators, upgrades to ADA compliance, and fixing cracked running tracks.
It appears that in their mad dash to use up the cash, our fearless leaders somehow ‘forgot’ to budget millions for interest on the bonds they borrowed and failed to create and adhere to a tight project list, scope and schedule, thus creating this crevasse of missing money ensuring that many promised projects at schoolhouses will never come to be, as SPLOST IV has its own legal list of projects it must adhere to, and finishing up the unfinished lists from SPLOST II and III is not part of the SPLOST IV deal.
We were actually told a very big, fat lie by Interim COO, Barbara Colman back in August/September of 2010 that due to declining construction costs and coming in “consistently” under-budget, we had a nearly $40 million SPLOST III “Surplus”. In fact, Ramona Tyson used it to justify her pet tech project at the September ELPC meeting. (Read over the Q&A session at that meeting to see just how concerned citizens have been for a very long time.)
Although it’s not really very fun to be vindicated, but we must point out that the “crazy”, “uninformed”, “ignorant”, “radical” bloggers at DeKalb School Watch had tried for over two years to warn of the consequences of these truly bad decisions. Did the board and staff leaders not read the open letter from Faye Andreson? A member of the SPLOST II oversight committee, and a person with a high degree of involvement in SPLOST spending, Faye desperately pleaded with the board to watch their SPLOST spending. Additionally, after sending a written request for an explanation as to how certain projects jumped ahead in the queue and increased in scope, Faye was met with the following response from then board member Zepora Roberts, “By the way, your information in this letter has not been helpful because it is full of errors and omissions, and why do you think that I should provide you with additional information? Who are you anyway? It seems to me that you know it all, since you have designated yourself to try and tell the superintendent, staff and board members what to do. Please get a life Ms. Andresen.” And this one from Sarah Copelin-Wood, “Hello Faye, It is evident from your e-mail that you are continuing to weave your web of deceitfulness. It is also apparent that you are most definitely “Confused.” Therefore, let me help you – The Election Is Over – Get Over It. HAVE A GREAT ONE!!”
And so it goes. On and on. Time after time, as concerned parents and community members tried to wave the red flag of warning, they were dismissed, threatened, scoffed at or blatently ignored by members of our school board. But we were right. So whoopee. Now what? | <urn:uuid:6faab08f-3585-49da-a879-a0972a0ae8cc> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://dekalbschoolwatch.com/2012/02/29/we-hate-to-say-i-told-you-so-but/ | 2020-09-22T14:42:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206133.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922125920-20200922155920-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.966146 | 936 |
Something for the weekend: American actress Jessica Chastain has taken centre stage in Hollywood’s ongoing gender pay debate, revealing that she asks about her male co-star’s pay before accepting new film roles.
In an interview with Variety, Chastain explained how in the past, her pay would often be decided after the lead male actor was cast and his pay set.
Chastain said: “They wouldn’t want me to do my deal until they cast the male actor. They would wait and see what they had left over, even if they’d come to me first. And so I stopped doing that.”
Now the actress, who has starred in films such as Zero Dark Thirty and The Help, asks how her pay would compare with her male counterparts’ to ensure that she is fairly compensated.
Chastain said: “I don’t care about how much I get paid; I’m in an industry where we’re overcompensated for the work we do. But I don’t want to be on a set where I’m doing the same work as someone else and they’re getting five times what I’m getting.”
Chastain told Variety that she has refused a large film role because of the pay gap. She said: “What you’re doing is creating a reputation: Don’t bring Jessica something where she’s not being fairly compensated compared to the male actor. Even though I lost that film, I’ve created a boundary. I drew a line in the sand.”
Here at Employee Benefits, we applaud Chastain’s decision to take a stand and raise the profile of the gender pay debate. We look forward to seeing what steps the film industry and other sectors take to close the gap moving forwards… | <urn:uuid:bf4803db-6fee-4805-bd94-904ba1516fed> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://employeebenefits.co.uk/issues/april-online-2017/jessica-chastain-asks-about-male-co-stars-pay-before-accepting-film-roles/ | 2020-09-22T15:28:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206133.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922125920-20200922155920-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.97428 | 392 |
When the Pharaoh commanded that the Hebrew midwives kill any sons born to Hebrew women, they refused, and God rewarded them for it. But the “Christian” Left would have been fine with killing the Hebrew males up to their first breath, and they insist that God would have approved. They have made their pro-abortion views crystal-clear again and again and there is zero hyperbole in what I write about them. It shows just how wickedly anti-Christ they are.
Exodus 1:8–22 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. And he said to his people, “Behold, the people of Israel are too many and too mighty for us. Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and, if war breaks out, they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land.” Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with heavy burdens. They built for Pharaoh store cities, Pithom and Raamses. But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel. So they ruthlessly made the people of Israel work as slaves and made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and brick, and in all kinds of work in the field. In all their work they ruthlessly made them work as slaves. Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah, “When you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill him, but if it is a daughter, she shall live.” But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live. So the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this, and let the male children live?” The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to them.” So God dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied and grew very strong. And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families. Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, “Every son that is born to the Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile, but you shall let every daughter live.”
Make no mistake: “Christian” Leftists are “midwives” who would have gladly partnered with Pharaoh to kill the lineage of Jesus. | <urn:uuid:42e644a9-5e68-4c01-947d-049048cd7972> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://eternity-matters.com/2017/01/18/the-hebrew-midwives-feared-god-the-christian-left-does-not/ | 2020-09-22T15:07:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206133.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922125920-20200922155920-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.98386 | 556 |
Edith Harris Event: Advocating for Social Justice: Immigration Policy and Social Work Practice
This event is in the past.
Detroit, MI 48202
Michigan is home to nearly three-quarters of a million immigrants. One in 12 Michigander’s are native-born U.S. citizens with at least one immigrant parent. As social workers in the urban community of Detroit, we encounter clients facing residency and asylum challenges frequently. Our commitment to create social work knowledge while addressing broader struggles to advance human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice has lead us to develop a series of events to open the discussion of immigration, social work and how we can advocate for social justice in this arena. The Wayne State University School of Social Work would like to invite you to attend the second event in this series, the 32nd annual Edith Harris Endowed Memorial Panel Discussion entitled “Advocating for Social Justice: Immigration Policy and Social Work Practice”. This event will illuminate the issues that immigrants and refugees experience in our local Detroit area and will be followed by a public reception in the Law School. Attendees will engage in a discussion with panel experts on social work practice, legal challenges and advocacy strategies they can utilize when working with clients and their communities.
Wayne State Professor of Law and Director of the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights, Peter Hammer, PhD will serve as moderator and provide a brief presentation "The Immigration crisis through the historic lens of structural racism."
Panelists for the discussion "What does social work practice, advocacy and political action look like?" will include:
- Deborah A. Drennan, Chief Executive Director of Freedom House Detroit
- Rima Meroueh, Manager of Advocacy and Community Engagement, ACCESS
- Jessie Urban-Guzman, LMSW, MPH, Youth and Legal Program Director LA VIDA Partnership at CHASS
- Sabrina Balgmwalla, WSU Law School Assistant Clinical Professor and Director of the Asylum & Immigration Law Clinic
Event attendees are encouraged to stay for a brief free reception from 5 - 6 pm following the lecture to continue the discussion with the presenters and fellow attendees. The reception will be held in the WSU Law School atrium outside of the Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium. Refreshments will be provided.
This FREE event has been approved by the MI Social Work Continuing Education Collaborative for 2 CE contract hours at a cost of $10 under CE Approval #: MICEC-0058. No pre-registration is required.
Interested in having your students attend the lecture for class credit? We can track attendance for you! Simply contact KAtie Alfonsi at firstname.lastname@example.org with your student roster and we will send you the attendance record after the lecture! | <urn:uuid:21bab59f-f022-41c7-9288-ef72d33ba6b8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://events.wayne.edu/2019/11/21/advocating-for-social-justice-immigration-policy-and-social-work-practice-83805/ | 2020-09-22T15:03:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206133.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922125920-20200922155920-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.928603 | 571 |
Numbers and letters in disk marking
Each car manufacturer strongly recommends a certain type of disk size. This information can be found in a service book or on a sticker in the driver’s door aperture, next to information about tire size and pressure. Non-compliance with these requirements may affect driving performance or cause a rapid wear of suspension. When choosing car wheels, one must be able to “read” numbers and letters in the marking.
Let’s look at the disk marking using the example of the currently popular Kia Rio New. The manufacturer recommends the 6J15 PCD4-100 et48 DIA 54.1 disks for installation. Let’s figure out what this marking is and decipher it, but first look at the main disk dimensions.
The number 6 means that the rim width is six inches. J indicates that the size is in inches, 15 is the rim diameter in inches.
These numbers indicate that the disk has 4 fixing bolts holes and PCD of 100 millimeters.
The most important parameter indicates the disk offset. Non-compliance with this parameter may subsequently lead to many problems.
Offset less than the recommended makes the wheelbase wider, thereby increasing the load on the suspension due to a shift in the wheel’s center of gravity. Also, reduced offset result in wheels touching the arches. Offset more than the recommended shifts the wheels inward, thereby reducing the car’s stability. Also, the wheel with an increased offset can cling caliper. Don’t fall for the tricks of sellers, choose the offset specified by the manufacturer of your car.
This is a diameter at rim seat. If this indicator is less than one specified by the manufacturer, the disk simply won’t fit the hub. When this indicator is more – it is not so scary, such a disk can be installed, but spacer (centering) rings are required. It should be noted that even with the use of spacer rings, an imbalance of the balanced wheel can be observed.
Some experts believe that centering rings are useless. Why? The fact is that the central hole and its diameter play absolutely no role in centering and fixing the wheel. The latter is centered and fixed only with the tapered part of bolts, and nothing else.
Just put a standard disk (the diameter of its central hole coincides with the diameter of the protruding part of a hub) on a hub and tighten the conical bolts (everything is exactly the same with conical nuts). The wheel is on its place; there are no questions here.
Now, let’s take a disk with a non-standard, larger hole, and put it on the hub without a centering ring. Not perfect, with an offset.
Tighten the bolts calmly, evenly, crosswise with a hand wrench – without a pneumatic one, which sometimes able to distort the disk. Cones of bolts enter cones of holes, and the wheel is automatically placed strictly in the center of the hub, regardless of the presence or absence of a centering ring and regardless of the diameter of the disk’s central hole, which can be of any type!
Centering with cones (or hemispheres) is an old, proven technique very often applied in a wide variety of mechanisms, and it is fully used in the case of wheels. The centering of a disk with a central hole doesn’t supplement tapered fasteners; it’s simply not provided for by engineers who designed the car.
However, in addition to centering “spherically in a vacuum,” the popular myth of centering rings involve the behavior of the wheel in motion. Many people think that because of the emptiness in the place where the centering ring is supposed to be located, the disk can shift relative to the hub due to the impact of the car’s mass and driving on uneven surfaces. They believe that imbalance and wheel wobble will appear. This leads to the conclusion that the ring performs not only the centering, but also the supporting role.
This view is even more terribly wrong. It is easily dispelled. You should only imagine the forces acting (theoretically!) on the centering ring, if it would play a supporting role.
What are the rings made of? Thin plastic or aluminum, i.e. extremely soft and ductile materials that are absolutely unable to withstand loads, even remotely similar to those that the wheel disk experiences in motion.
It turns out that enormous forces influence on a very small area of the ring. If the spacer in form of a plastic ring actually performed even the smallest support role, it should have been made of solid steel. On the very first few bumps, plastic or aluminum would be seriously deformed – so that the damage could be overlooked with the naked eye.
However, after any mileage, even a flimsy plastic spacer doesn’t have any marks of pressure and wobble… The reason is that the tapered surfaces of the bolts, and only they, centre and hold the wheel. The role of the ring is zero, it doesn’t affect neither the wheel wobble, nor the fixing strength.
Therefore, you can safely purchase and install non-standard wheels, if their price is good for you and they fit all dimensional parameters, except the central hole diameter. No “centering rings” are needed to compensate for the enlarged hole.
However, there are tricky wheel fixing bolts – with sliding eccentric cones. This is a tuning accessory that allows you to combine the hub and the wheel with different PCD without welding, holes redrilling and “pancakes”, changing the offset. For example, put 4×100 wheels on 4×98 hubs. Such tricky bolts are not the best technical solution, but, nevertheless, it exists and is sometimes used. In order to mount a wheel, which central hole diameter is larger than the hub, with such bolts, avoiding skew, it is highly desirable to use a centering ring. In such cases, heat-resistant polycarbonate and aluminum centering rings for alloy disks are desirable.
Regardless of whether you can read a marking of wheel disks or not, only a person having a driver’s license can get behind the wheel. It’s also extremely convenient and useful when the latter is international. It’s easy to process an international driver’s license on our website.
